Sounds simple. That's why I always go to MMP guns dot com.

[Brett]

It's been a minute since we've done this one, everybody. It's 8:36 and it's time to turn the radio over to you guys.

[Brady]

You.

[Brett]

The fireside chats right here. Good thing Brett's a little nervous talking to you. He's. We're all right, Brett. We're gonna be all right. You only want people to call up with ideas, thoughts in their heads. These people have good ideas. Sometimes, Brett, just good to have the.

[Byron]

Fire clocks right twice a day, too.

[Brett]

That's right. And sometimes, Brett, they have good ideas. They just have trouble articulating. And that's when we answer the phones and try to help them out. Let's see what they've got here. We'll start wherever you want to go. Where do you want to go?

[Byron]

We'll start with Zach.

[Brett]

Zach is first. Z. Zach Baggins.

[Zach]

How you doing, boys?

[Brett]

Hello, sir. How are you doing?

[Zach]

Good.

[Brett]

All right, Zachary, you have the phone. Please have a point.

[Zach]

So I.

[Jay]

Well, okay, hear me out.

[Brett]

I don't have a point, but bad start.

[Zach]

The. The comedian that he had on. I was. I was the. The guy that stayed online and talked to you.

[Brett]

What and when?

[Richard]

About your relationship.

[Brett]

Hold on. What?

[Zach]

No, no, no, no. About the Brett's videos.

[Brett]

Oh. So a couple weeks ago when a Fion Crockett was here. Okay, so then you emailed me afterwards and said I had a great story and we ran out of time. We didn't get to.

[Zach]

Oh, no, no, I. I stayed on the line with you and. Oh, that's my call after he left.

[Brett]

That's right.

[Zach]

So, yeah, that was my life problem. I was trying to. I was trying to see these videos, but I think what the issue was, I haven't played to that nose of yours. And maybe if I offered you guys some money, you guys could send me those videos on set.

[Brett]

The videos that Brett plays will be locked in a vault and remain in a vault forever. And there is not enough money to make my nose even twitch a little bit to get us to send those videos to you through a company email or otherwise. That is just not happening. We got enough heat from these people on top of us at all times for what we say, let alone start sending you guys videos. And the next thing you know, your kids open it up. I remember one time, remember the old member. The old Internet video that went around where it said, if. If you give us your name, I can find on a map your home and where you are right now. And it's. And it had. And then. So you see. And it's earth on the screen and you put your name in and then it starts to kind of hyper focus in on an area and it's right on. Like, oh my God, it's going to find me. And then when it finally goes to a screen, it's a dude with a giant penis. And he's just spinning it and it starts. You spin me, right? So I'm like, this guy's like, send me that. I'm like, okay, I sent it. And his wife and kid watched. I didn't tell him it was a big swinging wiener at the end. And they're like, I can't believe. And he asked for it and I sent it to him. And the next thing you know, he's on the phone with my boss. Like, he's sending out pornography. And they'll be like, you asked me what it was. And his wife was furious and their little four year old was there and a wife was crying. So I learned my lesson then, Zachary, never to trust you ghouls with anything from Brett's computer. You'll never see those videos unless you go to the big show at the end of the year. The. We show the top 10. You know, you can film them on your phone.

[Zach]

Then maybe you guys could give me tickets.

[Brett]

What if you're into your nose again? Oh, hey, stop it. There's not enough Jewishness in me that's going to make this work. Stop it.

[Zach]

I just want to reiterate like I am a straight man. I just want to see what. What these. What these people put their bodies through and just pushing the boundaries that they have on their own bodies. But.

[Brett]

Well, let me ask you this. Do you have the Internet at your house?

[Zach]

I do, but like I told you before, I searched up these videos and it was nothing but dead ends and sketchy website and.

[Brett]

Please stop it. So if you want to see it, all you got to do is just go text. The keywords are gay, rosebud, extreme, and those are the three. You'll get lost pretty much everything. Yeah. Good luck.

[Richard]

Your dreams will come true.

[Brett]

Yeah, maybe you'll be one of the pioneers and you'll start mining these videos for Brett in the future.

[Brady]

All right.

[Brett]

All right. Good luck, Zach. Thanks for calling, brother. We'll see you. Yeah, I'm not sending videos to anybody, and Brett knows better.

[Byron]

No, I. I even have, like, personal friends. Hey, man, send me that. Nope. I'll show it to you on my phone.

[Brett]

I've seen you do it.

[Byron]

There's no way.

[Brett]

People, like, send me that when I want to see that, like. And Brett just holds his phone up because you're allowed to watch Here. This doesn't leave my person because once it gets out to you and the next thing you know, 20 other people have it and all stems from you. You're the. You're the carrier. Line two is.

[Byron]

Jay.

[Brett]

Jay is on there. Jay, are you there?

[Jay]

Yep, I'm here.

[Brett]

All right, Jay, go ahead. Please don't waste our time. Go.

[Jay]

So I hope this isn't a waste of your time, but it's taken me a long time to make this call. I've always been morning sickness adjacent, and I wanted to connect with you and Brady.

[Brett]

What does that mean? You're close to us.

[Jay]

Yes. So you had a friend named Rick who I think built your pool table.

[Brett]

Yeah, he passed away a couple years ago.

[Jay]

Yes, he did. He was my concert going buddy.

[Brett]

Oh, I love Rick.

[Jay]

I hung out with Rick all the time. Yeah, and then you also had a water heater issue, and plumber Anthony came out to your place years and years ago.

[Brett]

Yeah, water heater exploded all over my kitchen.

[Jay]

Yeah, that's my brother in law.

[Brett]

How about that?

[Jay]

So Brady Yes. Had a little infestation in his daughter's head.

[Byron]

This is when you got inspected for lice.

[Brett]

I think this is when Brady went to the lice clinic in his bald head.

[Richard]

The Lice Clinic of America.

[Brett]

Yeah. And Brady got inspected.

[Jay]

You had a technician named Julie.

[Richard]

Okay.

[Brett]

You remember Julie. I believe you.

[Jay]

That's my wife. Who is that?

[Brady]

Right.

[Richard]

Wow.

[Zach]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Look at this. The circle of morning sickness.

[Jay]

Radiate the quick trip all the time over there on Greenfield in the 60.

[Brett]

I bet you did. That's pretty safe. Still, hit it more to me than.

[Jay]

It means to you guys.

[Brett]

But not necessarily. I mean, it could mean something to us if you started to deliver when we saw you. How about that? You know, you can appeal. You can appeal to my nose and have all these plumbers and lice technicians start doing this for free. And the next thing you know, we'll be thrilled to see your ass.

[Jay]

Well, what you like to call incels.

[Brett]

John, I don't.

[Jay]

I don't get out much.

[Brett]

Wait a minute. Incels usually lead to, like, some sort of a violent crime. Are you one of those?

[Richard]

Sound good?

[Michael]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Jay]

I'm a healthy human being. I got a job and a wife and kids. I just. I don't bother people.

[Brett]

Don't call yourself an incel because that's someone who chooses to be celibate. You're just married.

[Jay]

Oh, well, it's okay. You got me there.

[Brett]

In a weird way, when you get married, you become an incel because the choice to get married means the choice to never have sex again. That's kind of what eventually that turns into. But you're not an insult. You're just. You're a hermit. You're a hermit.

[Jay]

There you go. Hermit. I'll take it.

[Brett]

Yeah, you're. You're a recluse. You like to stay. I am, too, to a certain degree.

[Richard]

Your wife Julia did a great job.

[Brett]

Yeah. No more life.

[Richard]

She looked at me and says, I don't need to inspect you because I didn't have any hair.

[Brett]

That's right. But you still asked.

[Jay]

Yeah, she said. She said she tried to get a picture for me of you and her and your wife wouldn't let her do it.

[Brett]

Really? Well, that's probably true. Nobody wants to hear the lice clinic.

[Richard]

Post something at their lice clinic in America.

[Brett]

You don't really want to post. How happy. Yeah, we had a great time. Oh, family was at the lice clinic today. What a great day. Here's some photos of the folks we.

[Jay]

Met about the Lice clinic is. My mom owned those clinics, but she sold them now.

[Brett]

No kidding. How did she get into the work of lice?

[Richard]

It's a big business, Booming.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[Jay]

I had a younger sibling and friends, you know, years and years ago that had it, and they found this place, and it's like a franchise. You can sign up for a franchise. They're nationwide. And she just got into it that way.

[Brett]

And then she just started to get the territory. She bought up some spots.

[Jay]

Yep.

[Brett]

And then people like territory in Chandler.

[Jay]

Phoenix, and Mesa, but in the machine that she had.

[Brett]

But wait, did she have expertise in this at all? Going into it? What'd she do before?

[Jay]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's, like, a mother company that's out of Salt Lake that gave them training and all the stuff they needed for it. Yeah.

[Brett]

But hold on. Before she did all the training and bought the lice companies, what did she do?

[Jay]

She worked for Frito Lay for a long time. She's always been kind of in sales and delivery.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah. And then went. This is fascinating to me. So then she went to check for lice and said, this is pretty good operation. I should buy one of these.

[Jay]

Yeah, pretty much. I mean, Brady can vouch for the amount it costs to get you.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Jay]

Headlights treated.

[Brett]

I got to hand it to her. She's sitting there cranking out Fritos and.

[Richard]

Selling chips, and they buy these super expensive, like, high temperature blow dryers that kill all the eggs.

[Brett]

And it's amazing, though, that somebody went from Frito Lay and then said, they're charging so much money, I should be on the other end of this. And then she had the gumption to go do it. What do you do for a living?

[Jay]

I work in cranes. Heavy equipment.

[Brett]

Okay. For the big lice. Okay. Well, I got birds. I stopped saying you're an incel. He works with heavy cranes. Fat cranes. He said he does. He does those epics for big, big cranes. Some of those cranes wandering around the golf courses. You're like, these guys are big. Getting fat. All right. Thank you, Jay. Interesting.

[Jay]

My brains are all iron.

[Brett]

That's cool. Well, thanks for that. And stop saying you're an incel and that you're adjacent to us. That's never good.

[Richard]

Say hi.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Tell the family we said, anytime I.

[Jay]

Run into one of you guys, I'll say hi.

[Brett]

All right, Done. We'll talk to you then.

[Jay]

Thank you.

[Brett]

All right. Interesting. What an interesting group, Brett.

[Byron]

Yeah. Riveting.

[Brett]

I agree with you. It isn't riveting so much.

[Richard]

Take another Call?

[Brett]

Yeah.

[Byron]

Oh, sure. Why not? How about Magic Man?

[Brett]

Oh, Switzer's on the line. Magic Man? The criminal. Are you there?

[Swiftbird]

Hello, boys. Good morning. And how is everyone?

[Brett]

We're fine, Swiftbird. How are you, my man?

[Swiftbird]

I'm doing fine, all right. I'm just kind of chilling at work. We ran out of stuff to do two days ago, so I've been sitting at my desk just twiddling my thumbs.

[Zach]

All right.

[Brett]

Okay. You're working for the Department of Justice. No longer on that Epstein case. What happened?

[Swiftbird]

No. Fabrication company.

[Brett]

Oh, that's right. I forgot. And there's nobody who needs transportation anymore that you knew that's. That would drive.

[Richard]

Oh, I thought he lies for a living.

[Michael]

No.

[Brett]

All right, well, what do you need?

[Swiftbird]

When I was doing magic. Oh, I just. I just wanted to say hi, see how you guys were doing, and remind everybody that I am one of the people on the second biggest podcast in Arizona, right behind Jimmy and James with Small Town Murder. So if anybody cares, check out Felonious Friends. Me and. Me and my buddies sit around with some microphones and talk crap. And Brett and Brady still haven't come on. But we do have miles to nowhere coming on as guests on one of the next couple episodes.

[Brett]

Oh, kidding. I did. I was a guest on your show once, and I've told Brett and Brady it's no big deal. I shouldn't do it. That's literally what I've said.

[Byron]

That's literally what he told us.

[Brett]

I have absolutely said that.

[Byron]

Hear the words you say sometimes.

[Brett]

I mean, who talks like that? 98 Holmberg's Morning Sickness.

[Swiftbird]

I absolutely believe you.

[Brett]

Yeah, well, I did. It's not going to benefit you at all. You shouldn't drive all the way. I had a nice time. You guys were very nice. But, you know, a certain time on a Saturday, you just need to spend with the kids.

[Swiftbird]

That also happens an hour and a half of your time.

[Brett]

Right. And I just don't see a benefit in that for Brady at all. And I don't see your show getting better with Brady on it and you guys stumbling around trying to figure out how to get that. And then Brett's just gonna, like, go, ah, I'm going home. Like, you're gonna lose that. There's no point. None of that. I have seen it. It's like Brokeback Mountain. I saw it and told the guys. Eh, you're a bit of a homophobe. You're not gonna like this. And, you know, if you like watching dudes spitting hands and rubbing on each Other. It's very similar to doing Swiftbird's podcast. Yeah, I saw it. I enjoyed it. I had a nice time. But I also know these guys, and I know that there's absolutely no benefit to their lives or yours if they go to your podcast. A waste of time.

[Swiftbird]

Teach their own, I guess.

[Brett]

No, I'm right. And Felonious Friends is what it's called, and it's a fine group of people, but there's absolutely nothing Brady can add to it and nothing you can drag out of him.

[Swiftbird]

I don't believe you. I spent four years with him on the hole at the golf tournament.

[Brett]

I know. And he didn't know your name. He didn't know your name at all last time we saw you. Called you Magic Man. So he's getting. Getting nothing from you, and you really aren't getting anything out of him. Don't waste Brady's time, Brett. Maybe, but even still, I don't see that working out. Toledo's a good guy.

[Byron]

He already was on there.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah. Did he do it?

[Byron]

Toledo was a fun guest.

[Brett]

Yeah, no kidding.

[Byron]

I'm not going on.

[Brett]

Toledo is. Yeah. Yeah. If that's the bar of. Yeah. You're not gonna. I'm telling you, I'm right about this. I. I did. I did it. And the. What did I do? The whole time, Sweden, on your podcast, I was like, what the is this? What are we doing? It's just friends talking. I'm like, well, I need to go home. This is a waste of time. Is that not how it went?

[Swiftbird]

50% friends? It was. It was 50% friends talking and 50% you telling stories and giving Kai a lot of garbage, which was very fun.

[Brett]

For all of us.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Your one buddy was like, he's dead set on the world being against him. And it just. I just started to give him some advice as a human being, but we didn't need to do that on microphones, and I certainly didn't need to go into your house. I liked your girlfriend.

[Swiftbird]

Yeah, she's great.

[Brett]

I'll be honest. I was surprised by that.

[Swiftbird]

You're not the first one in a.

[Brett]

Whole bunch of different directions.

[Byron]

Was she blinking twice to you?

[Brett]

That's why I asked her. I'm like, are you. Are you okay? Do you want to be here?

[Richard]

She had helped me.

[Brett]

Yeah, every time she blinks, it says, I'm dying. No, Switzerland's fun. It's a good podcast. You guys are fun. I just don't see we're bringing Brady in there is going to do any good if you want to. It's up to him, but I've told him not to do it.

[Swiftbird]

All right, well, the news then. And he can be disappointed and crawl even further into his self made hole.

[Brett]

This is where you, my friend, have to sell that podcast better.

[Swiftbird]

You're not wrong. Yeah, but at the same time, I mean, it's. We talk a lot of garbage. We don't talk a lot of politics because I can go so many different directions, but we tend to find weird little news stories, like Brady already does.

[Brett]

So it's a fun group group. I liked. I liked everybody there. You guys are fun. I just don't see Brady as a quality guest for you.

[Swiftbird]

I do.

[Brett]

Okay. It's gonna die. It's gonna die a miserable death.

[Swiftbird]

Ah. Everything ends eventually.

[Brett]

He's gonna be. He's gonna be really uncomfortable with the drugs and the. The curtains that are. That are basically rugs. And I was gonna say he's gonna. It feels like a dungeon. And Brady's not comfortable in poor people houses. And that's what you guys made that room feel like. Even though it's a nice place. You have that one room with curtains that are rugs, and Brady's gonna be uncomfortable.

[Swiftbird]

They're not rugs, they're blackout curtains.

[Brett]

They're not blackout curtains. Those are rugs.

[Swiftbird]

They're blackout curtains. I promise you.

[Brett]

What's on the walls, over the windows?

[Swiftbird]

We've got the blackout curtains. And then there's a couple of. There's an event sevenfold flag. A flag in the one corner. And then there's another, like, American flag next to it on the other wall.

[Brett]

It looks like one of the rooms in Silence of the Lambs. When you went down into the dungeon he slept in, the only thing missing was the bed with the swastika duvet.

[Byron]

Well, you're really selling me on this.

[Brett]

But it's fun. Swiftbert, you have nothing else to do but promote your own podcast. That's why I'm beating you up on this one.

[Swiftbird]

No, that's absolutely fine. I. I was. I was waiting for that. As soon as I. Yeah. Dialed in, turn my phone on.

[Brett]

So Felonious Friends is where you find it. It's a bunch of people who have got felonies and then they talk about how that happened. And then they bring Brady in and they make him uncomfortable for eight or nine minutes and he goes home and goes, well, you were right. And that's all that'll happen.

[Swiftbird]

But think of the ratings, John.

[Brett]

All right, I'll think of that. Switzer, you're the man.

[Swiftbird]

Okay.

[Brett]

All right, we'll see it. The biggest magic trick that the Magic Man's ever done is try to pretend that he has a podcast. Last one almost Brett. Switzerland's fun.

[Byron]

This one will be good. This is Richard from New York.

[Brett]

All right, Richard, are you there?

[Brady]

This is Richard. Good morning, John.

[Brett]

How are you, sir?

[Brady]

I am excellent. I need your opinion on something because it's driving me crazy.

[Jay]

All right.

[Brett]

This is a voice I can get behind. People who talk like you, expedite their time well and tell the story. Go get them, Richard.

[Brady]

All right. How come when you're driving around the valley here and you come up to a red light, you got these jerk offs that stop their car 4 and 5. They stop that car 4 and 5ft car lengths behind. What is that?

[Richard]

That drives me nuts.

[Brett]

The people that leave big gaps between the car in front of them and it messes up. Especially when you need to squeeze into that left hand turn lane. And if they just scoot up, you could get in.

[Brady]

Yeah, well, I get in before they scoot up and then they get all pissed off. And I'm thinking to myself, well, if you're hanging back, you must have issues or something.

[Brett]

So, you know what you need to do is treat it like you're back in Manhattan and roll your window down and insult their mothers.

[Brady]

Hey, buddy, what are you doing?

[Brett]

Yeah, that's. That right there is going to get somebody to scoot up. Nobody in Arizona wants to hear that accent.

[Brady]

No, no. Actually, it's going to get me shot. I'm just curious as to why people do it.

[Richard]

I think it's a fear of one. I think it's a fear of, like, if they're getting rear ended, that they don't run into the other car.

[Brett]

The reason you get rear ended is to stop so soon.

[Richard]

I agree. And the other thing is they feel like, well, I need to get out of the way. I need enough space to.

[Brett]

It drives spaceship to land.

[Brady]

That sounds reasonable. But the only explanation I can come up with, because every time I look over at them, they're immediately right on their cell phone texting. So I'm thinking maybe they're in such a hurry to start texting that they can't just, like, pull up five feet and then go. They just got to jump right on.

[Brett]

Yeah. They stop first and then text. Yeah. What brought you to Arizona? What? What? What was the crime that made you have to change your name and move here?

[Brady]

There was no crime. I just love the weather out here. And, you know, I Worked outdoors all my life. I hate getting rained on and snowed on and all that other BS. Yeah, but. And of course the cost of living 20 years ago was way better than New York. But. Right, and we're catching up.

[Brett]

Yeah. So wait, did you say the women were better 20 years ago?

[Brady]

The weather?

[Brett]

Oh, yeah, the women were better.

[Richard]

You want to come out here for the Cardinals?

[Brett]

Yeah.

[Brady]

No, no, I said the cost of living was better.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah, well, that's true. Yeah, that's catching up big time.

[Brady]

Yeah. I could buy a $200,000 house 20 years ago. Now it's pushing 500.

[Brett]

But with this accent and being from New York, when you told people you're moving to Arizona, you weren't worried that they were like, okay, who do you tell on?

[Brady]

Well, I just said it was a dry heat and they said, so is sticking your head in the oven.

[Brett]

Yeah. And they were thinking about doing that to you. I'm gonna move to Phoenix. You guys don't need to contact me no more. I'm outta here.

[Brady]

Nah, this ain't all about me.

[Brett]

What was your name in New York? If you remember correctly, he almost answered that. By the way, you were very close to saying Tiffany Timothy.

[Brady]

I was the guy that got all excited about meeting Paul Bentley from the Jeffersons. If you remember that.

[Brett]

You were the guy who loved Paul Benedict. He played Bentley. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. I remember you now. Okay, that's right.

[Brady]

You were ragging on me, but I was hungover so I took it.

[Brett]

Yeah, no, that's very funny. I forgot. You called with this accent talking about how excited you were when you met Bentley from the Jefferson. How long ago was that? Not that you called when you met Bentley.

[Brady]

It was about a year and a half.

[Brett]

Okay, from what I remember, it couldn't have been a year and a half that you. No, you called us. When did you meet Bentley?

[Brady]

No, you were getting. You were putting on a fake deal. Like, what would I do if I. Like what would I. You were playing music. You were playing music and I had to chime in before the posted game.

[Brett]

Right, the posted game. And he was meeting Paul Benedict. Okay, I. I thought you actually met. I confused our game with reality for a second. Much like your witness relocation has to confuse your ex life with your new life. They blend a little bit.

[Brady]

I didn't do a thing.

[Brett]

What's your. What's your wife?

[Brady]

She passed away about 20 years ago.

[Brett]

Oh my God. Is that why you had to move here?

[Brady]

She was still alive. That's a sad story.

[Brett]

That's a terribly sad story. I'm not getting into it. I don't want to be an accomplice. I don't know what's going on. How did you. How did your gumar take it? Was she okay?

[Richard]

She moved with you.

[Brady]

What's a goomar.

[Brett]

Stop it. All right, all right, we'll touch. Richard. Good call.

[Brady]

We're gonna call. We're gonna go with Brady's answer then. They're afraid they're gonna get rear ended.

[Brett]

Yeah, I mean they're just. They're just not good at what they do and that we were surrounded by.

[Richard]

That and safety distance between them and the next and they're not paying attention.

[Byron]

I'm going with Richards. They're just jerk off.

[Brett]

They're jerk off, they're inconsiderate, they're not thinking about the guy around them and they're just jerk offs. I think you nailed it right there.

[Brady]

All right, well that makes me feel a whole lot better. You guys have yourself a great.

[Brett]

You too. Thank you, Rich. We'll see you. There you go. That's what I'm talking about. Witness relocation, Richard. That's a heck of a call right there. I like that.

[Richard]

Drives me even more crazy when it's had a turn, you know?

[Brett]

Yeah, they don't pull out.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Yeah. Here's the. The fun thing is that anytime someone calls with that accent before the call's over, I'll get them to admit to one murder. And he sort of started it.

[Byron]

No, he held himself.

[Brett]

What's your wife's name? Oh, she passed away 20 years ago. God bless. Like huh huh huh. Can we get through one call with this accent without mentioning a dead body? I'm sorry for your loss, but I mean, come on, 20 years ago and you just wanted to be in a dry he.

[Richard]

I mean, just waiting for the ID channel.

[Brett]

I mean I can say that, you know, I don't know. But let's be oh my own that we know what happened. It's 8:58. There you go. Those are your fireside chats, everybody. Not bad. Well done, Swissburg. Trying to promote away. Richard calling in, not admitting to his crimes. I like it. It's 98 KUPD. Thank you everybody. It's out of control. DX K U P D.
