Flip Orley
You thought that was funny?
John Holmberg
You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? PD Flip Orly's sticking around today. We skipped over Rock wars, which is fine. Cause Flip was here today, hypnotized us into doing the whole show with him. I don't know how this happened. The Flip early show continues this morning at night, and you can see it tonight as well. Now, you have anything special planned for your Wednesday show outside of my incredible Ozzy idea?
Flip Orley
Well, Ozzy's going to take up a good part of the night.
John Holmberg
You think so?
Flip Orley
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Are you really going to do it?
Flip Orley
I'm going to try.
John Holmberg
Okay. Do you have any premise ideas that you can tease us?
Flip Orley
Not yet, but I'm putting the. I'm putting the thinking cap on when I get back to the hotel.
John Holmberg
I like that it was this funeral day, so you can think of like maybe Ozzy eulogizing you at your funeral.
Flip Orley
Ooh.
John Holmberg
I just like the idea of people trying to do impressions. They can't do impressions of obvious characters like him.
Flip Orley
You know, it's funny, like a lot of times when I have people doing accents or whatever while their eyes are closed, I'm giving suggestion. I will do a bad example of that. Of that voice.
John Holmberg
Right.
Flip Orley
So they know what it is. Right. You know, it's like when your eyes come open, you'll be from England. They'd be talking like you're from England. And they still can't get it.
John Holmberg
They can't do it. And the worst Parts is when they try to. And it's sort of which makes it hilarious. Like the ones who do it good.
Flip Orley
It's actually less good when it's good.
John Holmberg
Right? Exactly. When they do it good. Like, oh, this stinks. This person's supposed to fall on their face. That's the fun of this.
Flip Orley
Well, it's like Chuck Barris when they made the Gong Show. He goes like he wanted a bad talent show because he goes, what's interesting about decent people doing decent?
John Holmberg
Right. That's just a regular show, right? Yeah. You see the people goofing around thinking they're good. That was the best part of American Idol.
Brett
And then go kill people after the recording. The shows.
John Holmberg
Chuck Baris had us. That's pretty awesome. And I wondered about that when I watched Chuck, you know that he was a CIA operator. Yeah, of course you know that. Cuz I wondered sometimes if that's you.
Flip Orley
I can neither confirm nor deny. Now.
John Holmberg
I wouldn't be surprised if you had that secret. What is a secret that you can't tell us?
Flip Orley
Like let it out now.
John Holmberg
It's still a no. No, no. Let's those. It's up.
Flip Orley
But my silence should speak volumes.
John Holmberg
That's all I see. I'm pretty sure you've done something for the government before.
Flip Orley
Probably not the government, you know, MK Ultra, but whatever, you know.
John Holmberg
What's your favorite conspiracy? Do you have one that they're like.
Flip Orley
Oh, that's definitely my, my favorite one. And this will get me in trouble.
John Holmberg
Go.
Flip Orley
This will get me in trouble.
John Holmberg
We never went to the moon.
Flip Orley
I like that one.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Flip Orley
I bet Michelle Obama's dude.
John Holmberg
We say that all the time. You're not gonna get Big Mike. Wait a minute. That's a conspiracy. I thought that was just known.
Flip Orley
I, I just I desperate for it to be true.
John Holmberg
That to me for the laughs and how hysterical that would be for no other reason. Like for a while there, there was that guy that Obama used to know that said he was gay with him.
Flip Orley
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And he explained that Obama would bang on his door at night in the middle. Not when he was president, but before. And he was just lamenting.
Flip Orley
He loved when he was president. The Secret Service banged on his door.
John Holmberg
Obama had to give.
Flip Orley
Obama gave up that, that job to.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And then he realized, hey, I got this pretty good. But yeah, I, I. For the sake of hilarity, I want that to not only be true, but revealed.
Flip Orley
What, what people I think sometimes fail to recognize is that people who have a comedic job.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Flip Orley
A lot of times want something Horrible. Not because they. They think it's a good thing.
John Holmberg
Right.
Flip Orley
But because they think it's a funny thing.
John Holmberg
It's just hysteric.
Flip Orley
Yeah. And.
John Holmberg
And so the dildo getting tossed at those girls at the wnba, but could be potentially damaging.
Brett
Very dangerous.
John Holmberg
Hilarious. And. And I laughed because nobody got hurt. I probably would have laughed a little harder if somebody took one in the back.
Flip Orley
Yeah. In the back. You know what if it.
John Holmberg
I don't want a head trauma.
Flip Orley
Well, I was thinking something lower is like, you know, if. If it's.
John Holmberg
But see, right there. I'll tell you this chart. Yeah. But here's another thing. I just thought of it when I said it. How funny is it though, if it did hit her in the head and it said head trauma.
Flip Orley
Oh.
John Holmberg
I mean, because it is kind of. Yeah. See, there's always an angle of funny.
Flip Orley
But like, if we didn't go to the moon.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Flip Orley
I honestly would. Would laugh every day the minute that came out.
John Holmberg
Yeah. That we didn't go.
Flip Orley
Oh my God, that would be the best.
John Holmberg
My conspiracy theories are conspiracies against the conspiracies, which is. Lee Harvey Oswald was nuts and by himself.
Flip Orley
Oh, really?
John Holmberg
Yeah. Like, yeah, he was mad about some stuff and probably hung out with bad dudes, but he decided to take it into his own hands. I'm almost positive that's true because nobody wants to believe that a single lunatic can change the course of history. They want to believe it's much bigger than that because it scares us if it isn't true.
Flip Orley
Well, the guy who shot Ferdinand.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah.
Flip Orley
That was a dude, wasn't it?
John Holmberg
Yeah, it was a fella.
Flip Orley
I was a fellow. Yeah. I mean, it wasn't like a CIA backed or. I think. No, he was an angry guy with a.
John Holmberg
And started World War I.
Brett
Son of a. One of the higher ups.
John Holmberg
I don't even know who did it, but I know it was the. They were upset about a ton of different things and he just took it in his own hands and started World War I.
Flip Orley
And according to the docudrama I watched.
John Holmberg
So you know it's true.
Flip Orley
I think he missed initially and he had to run around to refine the.
John Holmberg
The car to find him again. Yeah. He left an alley. Right. It was a certain spot. He wanted to do it. Yeah. Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Now we. We toy with it. It's a band.
Flip Orley
I'm saying Prince. Yeah. Archduke.
John Holmberg
There's a. There's a Franz Ferdinand band. Come on. We don't care that much.
Flip Orley
Well, it's not that anything's inappropriate. It's just how long you have to wait before it becomes appropriate.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Flip Orley
And for me, exactly zero minutes. Zero.
John Holmberg
Yes. The wait time for you is not long. It's time now for Brady to give you all the entertaining news he knows. It's called the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our friends@reactdefense.com the home of tactical black self defense training. You should go with me to do the gun retention thing. I've told you that before.
Flip Orley
I just beg people to leave my gun alone.
John Holmberg
Well, that's. That's a start. But there is a thing where you just like, holy cow, there's so much you can do when somebody actually taps it or tries to get it. A bad guy ever feels that you've got one and he's trying to wrestle you. All sorts of gun retention things. They do all sorts of things to make you more aware of your surroundings. For crying out loud, people, get off your phones and look around. Know where you are at all times. Because a dude walked past a bunch of people two days ago with an AR15 next to him and no one did a thing. Got 33 floors up.
Flip Orley
I don't believe that's true. Because of the gun laws in New York. I know that it's illegal.
John Holmberg
That's right. They have gun laws that says you can't do that.
Flip Orley
Right?
John Holmberg
That could be a conspiracy. This all is fake. 33 stories. He got up in an elevator and nobody did a thing about it. You have to be aware of your surroundings. They teach you that becoming a sheepdog, not as hard as you think. Plus, you learn how to punch, you learn how to fight, you learn how to get in great shape and you feel better about yourself. Do it right now. The price is unbelievable. Two months training, 199 bucks. And that's all they offer. Every class. Everything they can bring you is right there on that price. And you're not getting personal training like that anywhere else for that price especially. Check it out. React defense dot com. The home of tactical black Brady entertainment.
Brett
Happy Gilmore 2 just set a new record for Netflix for the biggest US opening weekend of all time for an original movie.
John Holmberg
Absolutely nothing happens in this movie.
Flip Orley
How could they call it an original movie when it's the same movie from 30 years ago?
John Holmberg
Well, Happy Gilmore 2. Yeah, the new one.
Flip Orley
Right.
John Holmberg
Is not an original idea, but it's a brand new movie.
Flip Orley
You know what? They're both older.
John Holmberg
That's right. The new thing is it's just the old. It's older. Happy is Late term Happy Gilmore.
Flip Orley
It's now Grumpy Gilmore.
John Holmberg
It's crotchety old Gilmore. But it is not.
Brett
46.7 million views over three days. And then the original Happy Gilmore made it to number three on Netflix. Netflix global top 10.
John Holmberg
People trying to figure out what this is. And this is the reason Fokker in Law is happening in November.
Flip Orley
Are you kidding?
John Holmberg
No. Because we watch it. Society. And I'm guilty of it. I wanted to watch that terrible movie and I was not disappointed. It's worse than I thought it was gonna be.
Brett
Well, here's a spin off. You might.
John Holmberg
Awful.
Brett
Like, is the spin off from Once Upon a Time in la?
John Holmberg
In Hollywood.
Brett
In Hollywood, that's right.
John Holmberg
It's a different spin off.
Flip Orley
Is that Quentin?
John Holmberg
Yes.
Brett
They're taking Brad Pitt's character. Is he.
John Holmberg
Is Quentin involved in this?
Brett
The Adventures of Cliff Booth.
John Holmberg
His question is most important.
Flip Orley
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Is Quentin involved in this? Because he's only got one movie left to make. Yeah, because I don't think I. I don't think he's involved in this. But I'm not sure. John holmberg's Morning Sickness. The 98 KUPD. It's John Holberg here, and it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of my home group and Doug Hopkins dot com. If I told you I had an idea for a project and said to you, in order to finish the project, We've got about 10 steps to go through, and seven or eight of them are time consuming and could ruin the entire thing. Doug Hopkins, he offers you cash for your home as is right now. And that process is over. He doesn't change that price. You get $5,000 guaranteed. Your house sold. Start the process online right now@doug hopkins.com or grab that phone and sing Morning Sickness.
Flip Orley
I think it's a Harvey Wednesday.
John Holmberg
I'm gonna. It could be. I'm gonna guess what. This is a prequel involved. All right. But that's not Quentin Tarantino.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And this will be a prequel. None of the people who are in Once Upon a Time will be in it. But this character, Young Fincher's the guy.
Brett
Behind the killer, is going to be awful. 7.
John Holmberg
I'll probably still see it, but I will too.
Flip Orley
You are the problem.
John Holmberg
I know. Yeah. And with this one. Yeah. No, I watched that. I hate watch Sandler movies because I just can't believe they still get made. I just don't get it. And this one is not going to disappoint you. Absolutely nothing happens. And he kills. Look, I'm telling You right now. He kills someone in the first three minutes. And the way he kills this person. Yeah, you heard Happy Gilmore too.
Flip Orley
Really?
John Holmberg
Yes. Someone. Well, that's how Happy Gilmore started. In the first three minutes, his dad got hit in the head with a hockey puck and died.
Flip Orley
Right.
John Holmberg
It. It as a character does not bother him at all that a loved one of his is killed with a golf ball. In fact, later, there's a hilarious scene where he's hitting golf balls at people. It's like you'd think that would trigger you to go, guys, this is a bit of. But then we're supposed to believe he's triggered constantly by this horrific death that he caused, but yet he continues to do the exact same things. It doesn't make any sense.
Flip Orley
The more you talk, the more respect I have for Mike Myers.
John Holmberg
Mike Myers has some gems.
Flip Orley
No, he eventually got it. He's like, I should probably. Should probably go away. Yeah.
John Holmberg
If we see Austin powers in his 60s, just get rid of Mike Myers completely. Let's launch him into space. Yeah.
Brett
You got some celebrity romance going on. We talked about Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson.
Flip Orley
Is that true?
Brett
They're supposedly smitten over doing a Naked Gun.
John Holmberg
They're a Naked Gun together because that's another reboot that's coming out in a couple of weeks. You didn't know about that either? No, that's happening in two weeks.
Brett
And then it. Tom Cruise and Anna De Armas. Yeah, the third one is Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they were at dinner the other night. Is he still. He's not Canada's anything anymore. He's just a dude wandering around. I just running his mouth.
Brett
He's just wandering around running his mouth.
John Holmberg
That's all he does.
Flip Orley
Are they making a Casablanca 2 yet?
John Holmberg
They should, because it's time.
Flip Orley
It is.
John Holmberg
You know what? People see it. Yeah. They could do it with AI. Oh, honestly, I'd watch it.
Flip Orley
Of course you would.
Brett
According to the Raleigh Police Department, officers responded to reports 9:30pm Saturday evening multiple vehicles broken into at the Wiz Khalifa concert. Police said 13 vehicles, majority of which were Dodge brand vehicles. Mostly guns and cash stolen.
John Holmberg
Is that true? No. No kidding.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Brett's shocked.
Flip Orley
I am.
Brett
I knew you'd be shocked by that.
John Holmberg
Man, those Hellcats got a better alarm systems. They put that in the news. They got to just keep that quiet. The Wiz Khalifa, guns and money theft. Come on. You're just going to make people like Brett laugh for hours. That's funny because it's true. You get an Uber to the wiz Khalifa. Come on. It's terrible. He's. Anytime. It's close, he laughs. Flip orly is going to be at desert ridge improv tonight hypnotizing all of you tomorrow doing the same. And then he's going to move over to tempe and get the rest of this town. You're gonna. You're gonna get us all Flip. Tempe Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Tempe improv.com is where you get tickets for those nights. Desert Ridgeimprov.com for tonight and tomorrow. That's it. Thanks for hanging around, man.
Flip Orley
Thank you for having your hellcats.
John Holmberg
Always nice to have you. Yeah. And when you go to flip show, if your cars get broken into, it's flip. Usually you're asleep at a show. It's.
Brett
Yeah, he does special ops. He's got a burner phone.
John Holmberg
It's what?
Flip Orley
It's my side hustle.
John Holmberg
You got a side hustle? You know, getting out there. I'll be right back.
Flip Orley
I could hit half the volunteers, right? Send them off stage to rummage through cars while I do this show with the other half the volunteers.
John Holmberg
Another great idea to have six of your 13 hypnotized people go on a scavenger hunt in the parking lot and bring back stuff and then say, whose car was this from?
Flip Orley
I love that idea.
John Holmberg
They go out and say, I want you to find me like a duck from a jeep because we all have ducks on our cash reward.
Flip Orley
I'm bringing me to the club tonight. Tire irons.
John Holmberg
Me a tire iron.
Flip Orley
Well, so they can break the glass and get in.
John Holmberg
Everybody wins one. And then go get something out of your car. Find an unlocked door and bring me what's in the car.
Flip Orley
No, that's what the tire ends for. You don't have to wait for the unlocked door.
John Holmberg
How about this? This is a great idea. I love this. You hypnotize the few people and you go. I want you to go out into the parking lot. But desert ridge is tough because there's that mall, right? There's a lot of other stuff going on, but go out in the parking lot and find an unlocked car door and get the title of the car or the registration, bring it back in. And if that person's in this audience, they get a thousand dollars. Then nobody'd be mad at the car getting broken into.
Flip Orley
Well, there's that, but where's the thousand coming from?
John Holmberg
Well, we'll talk to Brad in the club, give him the spot about lunch with flip the next day.
Flip Orley
Then how about I did once have a hypnotized volunteer leave the the club. Do you have like 30 seconds?
John Holmberg
I'm plenty good. Yeah.
Flip Orley
So I got mad at. At a cocktail server at the DC Improv because he kept nudging hypnotized people in the audience to wake him up to see if they wanted another cocktail. So I sent the most deeply hypnotized volunteer off stage with the suggestion that he was the supervisor of this one cocktail server.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Flip Orley
And he was going to follow him around barking orders at him because I thought it'd be funny.
John Holmberg
Sure.
Flip Orley
I didn't know that the server would be a wussy with a pee. And. And the cocktail server literally ran out of the club and started running down Connecticut Avenue.
John Holmberg
He just quit.
Flip Orley
And. And the volunteer went running after him, screaming at him all the way down Connecticut.
John Holmberg
One of your hypnotized people got loose.
Flip Orley
That was a.
Brett
One of the better shows.
John Holmberg
Is that dangerous?
Flip Orley
It's not good.
John Holmberg
A hypnotized person on the loose is not.
Flip Orley
I didn't think the. I didn't think the server was going to leave the club.
John Holmberg
You got to go to his shows. You never know, especially if somebody gets upset. My favorite. Yeah. Keep it together. Flip. Always good to have you here. Flip. Early tonight at Desert Ridge. Friday, Saturday, Sunday at the 10:00pm Pro. We're done. Larry's coming up next. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
