[Brady]

In a new poll about kiss cams, 11% of people say they love the kiss cam. 26% like him, 19% dislike, 9% hate the kiss Cam.

[John Holberg]

Is there a Cutler option on that? The don't care. Yeah, it's the dumbest thing in the world when you think about it. The kiss cam, the muscle cam's worse Smile cam is my least favorite.

[Brady]

Well, you know, cheaters want to steer clear of any Coldplay shows, but Liam Gallagher.

[John Holberg]

Hold on. Coldplay didn't, like, initiate the idea of let's expose cheating. Like, that wasn't a thing.

[Brady]

This is according from Liam from Oasis.

[John Holberg]

Okay.

[Brady]

He says we're quite the other way. Don't worry, you can come to our place. You can bang. Away he goes. I don't mind who you're effing with. Mingling with, tingling with, none of my business. Fingering with. Yeah, none of my business.

[John Holberg]

Essentially what he's saying is, you can bring your wife, you can bring your girlfriend. I might them.

[Brady]

And they went right in to slide away.

[John Holberg]

That's. Have you seen the crowds for the Oasis stuff in England right now? Did you see the footage of that first night? Oh, my God.

[Brady]

Mariah Carey announced her 16th album. Care for it all is its title. I know you're fired up about that title. Just go away.

[John Holberg]

Yeah, I don't mind Mariah. I just don't. Done. Yeah. There's nothing she's gonna bring to the party. Nobody's gonna care. Keep doing that squeaky seven octave thing. Whatever. I've gotten what I need from her.

[Brady]

Basically, the upcoming Hulu dating show.

[John Holberg]

We have mined Mariah as it is. Yeah. Yeah.

[Brady]

Are you my first Ew.

[John Holberg]

Virgins.

[Brady]

Yep.

[John Holberg]

They have to prove that.

[Brady]

Virgins looking for love.

[John Holberg]

Nerds.

[Brady]

The hottest group of virgins ever assembled. We skip search for intimacy, love. And maybe they're first in a tropical paradise.

[John Holberg]

Let's get Thriller on the tropical paradise. Be walking around like a busted flamingo. Thriller would be awesome.

[Brady]

Flamingo. Oh, chick magnet.

[John Holberg]

Thriller would get him one those shows just based on the idea that he's not 100% correct. He's a little broken. So we put Thriller on there with his limp and his weirdness and, I mean, if they said, no, we don't want you on tv, they'd be, I think, racist, but I'm not sure what words fit there. Dale said no to als, Matt. That's a good point. I don't mean nothing. I'm just saying he did.

[Brady]

No hesitation.

[John Holberg]

Yeah, yeah. He had no problem. He wanted him out the first. I know. And Dale, I can't stand looking at that guy. He's sick and I'm gonna throw up. Johnny, please.

[Brady]

That was all because of the handler.

[John Holberg]

Yeah. No, because she said that he was ugly, which he should be used to.

[Brady]

Tool just announced they're doing a December 19th concert in Honolulu. They haven't been to Hawaii in 15 years. So if you want to have a little Christmas vacation in kedj. Tool man in Hawaii.

[John Holberg]

My indoctrination to Hawaii was my cab ride from the airport in Kona to my room 20 years ago this year, 2005, when we ran the marathon out there, and I get in the cab and the dude, just as loud as he can turn his radio up in the cab, it's Tool. And he just starts smoking this foot long joint. You smoke, you partake, brah. What? I can't hear you. Oh, no, I'm good. I'm good. Smoking the biggest, fattest Cheech and Chong joint I've ever seen. Driving me in the dark of night across a lava field. You've been Hawaii before, bruh. Just pay attention to the road, please. Crazy.

[Brady]

You're good, Holly.

[John Holberg]

Yeah, you're good, Holly. Drop you off right here, Bob. It's the middle. And no, no, don't drop me off here. I don't know where I am. Oh, you'll find they just turned it up. Loud. It was Doobie's cab. It was the loudest stereo I've ever been a cab. That's it. Larry's coming up next.
