[Brett]

You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you, pd? It was great. Chevelle. Oh, he might be. He might be a little bit. Oops. I'm sorry. I've already closed it up. Getting out of here. That's enough of that. Brett. He's not gay. The masseuse just thought we had a friend that was sitting at a table and rubbing on Shane's back. Shane from Life Change alone at a blackjack table. And masseuse was talking. Shane said, do you. You're single. Do you have any. Do we have a single friend here with us? He's the only one. So you want to looked over at our buddy Jim, and it ruined his weekend because she goes, oh, I thought he was gay. Like, right in. Like, right there. Like all of them. Ah, Shane almost pooped. Yeah, we. I invented a new Native American character. He's a warrior called Scoops to Come. Oh, man. We don't get into what that means, but he. Let's just say all of his war paint is white. That was a character I had for about an hour and a half. Yeah, I don't care. Look, it doesn't matter anymore, all right? It's time for Brady Scoops to Come is funny all the way around. I don't even tell you how he gets it. The name you don't need. You don't need to do the math at home. It was a weekend, all right? And we're starting to get all the memories Back. So I'm getting texts from all the guys going, hey, did I really do. Yes, you did. That happened. Did I throw up in the pool at the Aria? Yes, you did, Anthony. You threw up in the pool at Aria. And we made a water whirlpool to make it all go away. By the way, the pool at the Aria has so much chlorine in it that I had royal blue shorts on. I got out, they were white. Wow. I mean, they know what they. Well, you can see why now. Yeah. Because Anthony puked at it and I was grateful for that. And I'm like, wow, these are swim trunks that said I can't do it. Like, my swim trunks were choked out by the chlorine. Like Lizzo's pants. Lizzo's pants and my pants had a similar weekend, although for different reasons. Both were very uncomfortable with their roles is what we're saying. Anyway, what are you gonna do? It's time for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our [e-mail] that's the home of tactical black self defense training. Get yourself involved. You're going to need it too. Because you get up to Vegas with these idiots, you're going to have scoops to come. The warrior idiots coming at you. We don't know. You're drunk and crazy. In fact, Jordan kept trying to say that he could land a punch on me, but he realized how important tactical black was in the pool because every time he tried to punch me, he did the worst thing in the world, which was pull his hand back. And I hit him in the face three times for every time he tried to punch me once. And he learned, wow, that's real. Like what you're doing is real. I could not do any. We had a little mini fun fight in the pool. It was fun. It's what drunk guys do. But you realize that drunk guys don't have any boundaries and you never know. Remember when we were there with Billy?

[Anthony]

Yeah.

[Brett]

And we were a little bit drunk and that dude started to fight with that girl. And Billy went over to Captain Save a Ho and he had a.

[Anthony]

Break it up.

[Brett]

He had a gun I could see clearly imprinting onto his through his shirt. And the girl said, leave us alone. The second Billy went over there, you never know what you're going to wander into. The world can go. So. Oh, Ice raid Saturday night, by the way, walking back from Caesars, Ice comes rolling in and take some people off the streets. They were having like a. Like a little music party.

[Anthony]

Not anymore.

[Brett]

And then what did we do? I had to tell all Anthony no, no, no. We don't follow the ice raid. We go the other. This is how people get stabbed, shot and otherwise. It's crazy. So you never know what you're going to stumble into in the world. It's always good to be prepared. And even drunk and stupid saying hey guys, go the other way was the best advice ever. Because it's amazing how people want to follow law enforcement like nothing bad can happen. They want to follow the fight like nothing bad can happen. You stumble into nonsense. The world is, you know, it's chock full of it. And why not have some preparation in your life so you know how to defend yourself and most importantly, get away from it. That's the best part. They teach you all that. Reactdefense.com Sheepdog Even when you're drunk, you stop being that sheep. It's the home of tactical Black Brady Entertainment.

Jamie Lee Curtis says plastic surgery is causing a genocide of a generation or two of women.

[Brett]

Agreed.

[Anthony]

She says the disfigurement of generations is predominantly women who are altering their appearances. She's like, look, I don't say anything to people that have it done that's it's their own. I just know once you start it's hard to stop.

[Brett]

Here's the fun thing.

[Anthony]

And she's, you know, amongst her friends and stuff. It's just they get on that vicious cycle.

[Brett]

Jamie Lee Curtis first and foremost was blessed with the nicest breasts of the 80s. Training places phenomenal. So she never understood what it was like to have to go get something enhanced. No big deal. I'm seeing a lot of 20 year old women in this lip thing and I don't get that like altering fillers. Yeah, the, the lip will to have a so and I will say that at least that goes away.

[Anthony]

Does it though? We don't have the benefit of time to know that yet.

[Brett]

It's kind of stuff that just kind of swells them up and goes. We hope. Hopefully there's no medical issues. That's the one thing I don't get is not, not feeling great about you in your 20s. You know. And I understand people have confidence issues and stuff, but feeling you've got to alter the way you look in your 20s. Unless you've got a schnoz like mine, which is the smart thing to do is go get that thing cut in half. But it's like relatively pretty. People are starting and we talked about that beauty standard just a little bit ago with the AI Thing, but there's something more to it than. I think it's the attention attached. I don't think it's about them feeling bad about themselves. It's about not getting as much as someone else, because that's scary. I agree with that. I think. I think plastic surgery should be something. Unless it's completely obvious, you know, it's a big deal to go get your wrinkles taken out when you're 20.

[Anthony]

George Lucas made his big Comic Con debut yesterday in San Diego. Did you check it out?

[Brett]

Were you there, John? You were at the Lucas.

[Anthony]

He was there.

[Brett]

Did you go in and meet George? All JG's doing pictures of George Lucas.

[Anthony]

No way you could get a picture or see him or anything.

[Brett]

I was about.

[Anthony]

You're too short KSLX from him.

[Brett]

That's not. That's. I can see KSLX from here.

[Anthony]

I thought you were gonna see the lg.

[Brett]

I'll tell you right now, John, if George Lucas came out of the kslx, I'd see him.

[Anthony]

One of the things that he talked about is he's rolling out the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. It'll open next year in Los Angeles. He's a big art collector. And movie props.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah. He's got a ton of great.

[Anthony]

So it'll have on top of the movie props artwork from, like, Frida Kahlo to Norman Rockwell, plus artwork from Charles M. Schultz, the Peanuts comic book creator Jack Kirby, some of his stuff. He's been collecting for about 50 years. The other thing came up in Comic Con is Predator Badlands. The director plans on incorporating Arnold Schwarzenegger Dutch back into the series.

[Brett]

Somehow, Miguel and Sean both emailed me and says news about Jamie Lee Curtis saying that this is bad with a plastic surgery, which is not wrong. But she's the one who has huge issues supporting kids and transgender sex changes. Yeah, that's a good argument. Like, if she's running around screaming, no, you should be able to have surgeries when you're 12 to change your body. And then she's saying, oh, the plastic surgery is no good.

[Anthony]

Great point.

[Brett]

Yeah. It's hard to be on both sides of that one.

[Anthony]

I said it earlier this morning. But another thing that was announced is Shrek spin off. Donkey's getting his own movie.

[Brett]

Can't wait. Is Shrek.

[Anthony]

Eddie Murphy is. Is all excited. Yeah.

[Brett]

Is. Is Shrek in it that.

[Anthony]

I don't know.

[Brett]

Probably in the beginning, he's like, I'll be back next week. See you later, Shrek. And then just, okay, Donkey, I'LL just stand here and wait off camera. I'm going to go have an adventure. That's what I'm going to do. It's going to be great. Bye, Donkey. Like, he's just always just. Well, goodbye. All right, that's enough. Shrek. Not in the rest of this. Just paying to the lift and get Shrek out. Shot. They don't want to pay Mike Myers. Yeah. $20 million. I don't blame them. Hey, Donkey. No, Shrek. You can't be in this one.

[Anthony]

Finally, a little fun fact about Hulk Hogan.

[Brett]

I know one.

[Anthony]

He was a bass player, really played the bass. And actually, when Bill Wyman, I believe, from the Stones, Step or Charlie Watts. Which one played the bass?

[Brett]

I think it was Bill. Charlie was the drummer. Charlie was a drummer? Yeah.

[Anthony]

Yeah, it was Bill. He got together, ran into Mick's old lady, and she said she called Mick at the time, Jerry hall at the time.

[Brett]

Wait a minute. What?

[Anthony]

He was together with Jerry Hall. Hulk meets her and they needed a bass player. She calls Mick and says, I got your bass player, Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan.

[Brett]

And he played for the Rolling Stones once.

[Anthony]

He did not. He didn't go for it. Metallica, when they were looking for a bass player, Hulk contacted them and said, I want to play bass for you.

[Brett]

They said, no. Yeah, I have a couple of African American friends that pretty happy Hulk Hogan's dead. I forgot about that.

[Anthony]

They address that a little bit.

[Brett]

I forgot about that whole. That N word thing he went off on for a while. I'm like, oh, you know what? That makes sense to me. I never had that much of an attachment to Hulk Hogan outside of the obvious pop culture crazy. But I wasn't like, posters and dolls and I wasn't wearing any Hulkamania shirts. That would have looked pretty aidsy at a Thunder Lips shirt. But not. Did you. No, I would wear that. Oh, yeah. Thunder Lips. Wasn't the racist, just the guy playing. Yeah. I don't know. You know, obviously you don't want to kick a guy when he's down, but evidently black guys do. They are kicking the crap out of my. They weren't wrong. We have a pretty sound argument to say. I remember Winston text me what happened. He goes, hulk Hogan's dead. Nah, I think I'm okay with it. Like, yeah, well, you know what? I forgot about all the reasons you would hate him. You're right. It's a good point. So it goes to show you, even when you die, you're probably not going to be forgiven by anybody here. Everybody hates you. This guy says. Hey, Holmberg, growing up, me and my dad used to listen to the show all the time on my way to the methadone clinic. Some of my favorite childhood memories are listening to your show and eating an egg McMuffin in the back of my dad's car while he went in to get his recovering drug addict medicine.

[Anthony]

There you go.

[Brett]

You're gonna make me cry. Stop it with your childhood stories, that old tale. And then finally, Monty says, can't believe what I was hearing. Saying Mo is Arizona's best radio personality is like saying Thriller is Arizona's fastest radio personality. That's probably. Congratulations, Mo. We're not better. There are thunder lip shirts. Yes, Brett, order four of those. The ultimate multiple colors. Oh, oh, it's 12.95. It's that cotton that makes you feel like you're wearing a cardboard too. Get the higher ends. Anyway, we' we'll look into that. All right, you guys have yourselves a great day and we'll see you tomorrow. Be nice to Larry. So long, Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.
