[Larry McFeely]

Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with my.

[Wayne]

Friend Wayne from AMCO.

[Larry McFeely]

Let's talk about back to school TLC for your car.

[Byron]

Larry, the last thing anyone needs right now is to start the school year with car troubles.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, makes sense. What should people do?

[Byron]

Head to your closest amco. We specialize in back to school auto repairs for the busy school season. Plus we have a back to school discount for students and teachers.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah, but do you need to make an appointment?

[Byron]

Not at all. Just pop into your nearest AMCO or book online.

[Larry McFeely]

Now that's convenient. Google AMCO for your nearest location. That's amco Double A, MCO transmissions and.

[Wayne]

A whole lot more.

[Byron]

And remember, AMCO proudly supports Operation Hydration.

[Brett]

We're here with Byron from MMP Guns. Byron, why should someone choose to go to MMP Guns?

That's a fact. You can visit us at the store at the northeast corner of 12th Street Indian School or [e-mail].

[Wayne]

The old method of treatment for a person in this.

[Doug Hopkins]

Condition was to throw him in jail.

[Wayne]

Can't beat that song right there. Great job Barry and the boys. Dave, covering it up. Well done the DGs. Dumb fun this guy says. I take back what I said about you and Nickelback Mountain, John. The gayest thing on today's show is Brett knowing what a sousaphone was. I like to win. I don't care. I like you. An average straight man immediately shouted the word tuba as well, only to be out gayed by someone who knows more about marching bands. Oh, I'll take it. What happened? Well, you got bad news for you. What happened? I played the sousaphone when I was in grades. Come on, it's bigger than you.

[Brett]

He's gayer than me now.

[Wayne]

Good. Hilarious. Thank God. Congratulations. It was horrible. Hey, you can listen to Larry coming up in just a little bit.

[Larry McFeely]

Was Tripp gonna say that he played this.

[Wayne]

I was a sousaphone for a while. Yeah. And you can. You can hear Larry coming up in just moments on. That's right. You played the sousaphone. Were you coming in to just support Larry? Say it again. I couldn't hear you. Couldn't. Couldn't you have done like an edit on that song and made it like a minute instead of these radio executives with their 305? Didn't Billy Joel write a song about that? Has to be 305. And then he got fired. For God's sakes. That's a great song. You didn't like Tragedy? Did it trigger you? It was back. Yes. Back to the suit and dance days. Did you ever go to Studio 54 when you were in New York? Ever? You lie. He was there. You didn't ever do it. You were there, right when? That was huge. I was, yeah. And no reason.

[Larry McFeely]

No.

[Wayne]

Why did all the cocaine you needed at the station. Yeah. No kidding. Yeah. It was too weird. Okay. Interesting. I don't believe him, but all right. Well, thanks for popping in. Yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

He didn't like to travel for the powder.

[Wayne]

Yeah. No. Yeah. The powder was in the state in the 70s and 80s. You didn't have to go to Studio 54 at a radio station. It was built on soda anyway. And they call that the good old days when everybody was on coke. Trip wasn't. I'm not accusing him of that. Yes, he was. Probably. But I want to hear Larry's new Sousaphone show, 93. 3. What happened to the ending? Oh, yeah, sorry. I'll do it again.

[Brett]

Jeez.

[Wayne]

93. 3. That's better. Come on. That's too funny. I didn't finish. It's time enough for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our [e-mail], the Home Tactical Black self defense training. All the seminars, all the classes, everything they've got. I got a guy who just emailed me and said, I'm ready to go. And I believe he's taking his daughters as well. I've had a couple people say they're going to do that, and I'm like, all right, we'll get on it then. Quit saying you're going to do it and do it. Do something about it again. I don't like to have fear lead the day. Headline just popped up on my phone. Another active shooter situation. Now they call everything an active shooter when somebody shoots. There's been plenty of shooting going on for years and years, but it seems like the news pushes it in your Face that at any given time, they might just aim one at you. It's all random now. It's still FBI. Statistically true shootings are very rarely random. That's even scarier. Most of the time, it's someone you know that's going to do terrible things to you. You're close to. Most of the time, you're in the same house or building with them. Most of the time. Do you know what to do if that situation bursts out at work? It can help yourself an awful lot by being prepared for tragedy. As the DGS would say, 4 minutes and 18 seconds worth. It's an awesome thing to do and to have that in your back pocket. Just be a little more confident in your life. Confidence carries the day from being a victim to being a person no one's going to mess with. And you don't even really have to be a badass. Walk up and down the streets being confident. Bad guys see that first. You wear it like clothes. When you're not confident, you're not paying attention. They see that first and they go after you. So don't be a target. Be a sheepdog. Stop being a sheep and get in great shape while you do it. Reactdefense.com is where it starts. Two months for 199 bucks. That can't be beat for personal training. It's the home of tactical Black Brady Entertainment.

[Larry McFeely]

Josh Brolin is down for a Goonie sequel, but he doesn't want to do anything that will taint the memory of the original.

[Wayne]

Then don't do the sequel well.

[Larry McFeely]

He's like, I'm still in because Corey fell. Steven Spielberg's in. They've already had five scripts proposed. Turn them all down, he says. But since the the final approval is Steven Spielberg, I'm not worried about quality.

[Wayne]

He wants to work with Feldman again, out of his mind. He's saying he does by saying, I would do it if they promised to kill Feldman on the first page. First page.

[Larry McFeely]

That's why they turned down the first five scripts.

[Wayne]

Sloth kills Feldman. Whoops. Is Ma Fratelli dead?

[Larry McFeely]

That's who Feldman should play.

[Wayne]

Okay, fine. Yeah, they burned. He touched him and caught it. And he's new Sloth. And you wouldn't know the difference on stage.

[Larry McFeely]

Ma for telling.

[Wayne]

Okay, I'm fine with that. No matter what. I still say kill off the Feldman. Don't even put him in costume. It'll be more difficult to deal with.

[Larry McFeely]

Sharon Stone wants to star in a Phyllis Diller biopic. It's a perfect match.

[Wayne]

People Forget. Well, people forget Phyllis Diller, but she was actually sort of pretty. But she did herself up to be crazy looking. She does. Yeah. She actually. Her facial features are not ugly. She just painted herself up to be nuts. A big hair, put it over the top. Yeah, but she was. She wasn't hideous as far as her features. She just made herself that way. That was a good picture of her.

[Larry McFeely]

And it's actually not bad with the laugh.

[Wayne]

She's. She wasn't an ugly woman. But the hair and the goofiness and the eye makeup. Yeah. I mean, she went out of her way to be. To make herself ugly. But when she was, you know, it's.

[Brett]

Hard to find those non pictures of her.

[Wayne]

Yeah. Oh, no, because she was. That's what she became known for. Sharon Stone would fit right in on that. Yeah, that. That's that. That those pictures are actually. She looks pretty when she's given it a try. But nobody. She wasn't pretty enough to. People would pay attention to her. So she went nuts.

[Brett]

She figured it out.

[Wayne]

Yep. Morning SICKNESS MEDICATE K U P D hey, Byron.

[Wayne]

In fact, it's the fourth different sign. They've got a new realtor all the time. I do know this though.

[Larry McFeely]

Jamie Gertz from the Lost Boys and Sixteen Candles. And it's the richest woman in Hollywood.

[Wayne]

Huh?

[Larry McFeely]

Her husband has a net worth of 13.8 billion.

[Wayne]

Who'd she marry?

[Larry McFeely]

She married a guy named Tom Wrestler or Tony. Tony Wrestler. They got married in 1989. And she said I basically was making the money when we first got married. I bought our career, did all this. Well, now they're. They own two sports franchises. They're minority owners. Brewers. Milwaukee Brewers. And Tony bought the Hawks for 720 million.

[Wayne]

What did he do to get that? You didn't read this?

[Larry McFeely]

No, it didn't. He's just. They said he's an entrepreneur. I didn't. Looking to see what the business.

[Wayne]

You just wanted to let us know. What's his name again?

[Larry McFeely]

Tony.

[Wayne]

What? Tony Wrestler with an R or a W?

[Larry McFeely]

R E S S, L, E, R. I found it.

[Brett]

He's an equity investor.

[Wayne]

Oh, he's okay. Apollo Global Management. $13.8 billion. Off investing. Good job. He's owned the Hawks for 10 years. I've had crypto for six years. Nowhere near that. I guess I'm not as good as. It's just waiting for a pop. I guess it is. I really have done well. But nobody's. Nobody's 13.8 billion in my world.

[Larry McFeely]

Paris Hilton's husband gave her little present, a pink Gulfstream G450, nicknamed sliv air, which is after her word sliving, which is combination of slaying and living.

[Wayne]

Yeah, I was thinking slut, too. Well, yeah. Slit. Yeah, there you go. Slit. Hair.

[Larry McFeely]

Pictures of the jet. Did you finally.

[Wayne]

No, I got it. You thought I wasn't following along. Somebody asked me the other day, speaking of $13.8 billion, if you were single. Let's say you're single, you're 30, and you come into $13.8 billion. Wow. This is going to piss off wives across. Would you. And women, too. Would you ever get into a relationship. Oof. And the reason I asked. He made a great point, though. You're never. You're. You're going to be a bad partner because you will not put up with. Very true.

[Larry McFeely]

The answer. You wouldn't be a good. No, I would get into multiple relationships.

[Wayne]

That's the. That's what? Oh, yeah. I'm not saying would you be a monk. I'm saying would you ever lock it down? I don't think you'd be A very good partner if you made the money without someone first. Yeah, well, you know, I agree. You can't establish a base when you've got. When you literally have you money and somebody, she starts giving you grief. It's like, I'm out. Like I'm not dealing with anything. Yeah. I don't think you do enough around the house by. I'll be in Jackson Hole on my sliver. Right. I'm going to get on my jet. Seven bros. That's the Brady's key. Yeah, I don't. And he said that. And I'm like, sure. And then I started thinking, man, I don't think I. I don't think that's a good idea for anyone. To have established yourself with that much.

[Larry McFeely]

Money at the same time at 13.

[Wayne]

And then bring somebody to it. You're not going to be a very good partner.

[Larry McFeely]

I think you could find a partner that said, you know, if things don't work out right. Oh, no, you get a billion, you.

[Wayne]

Can make everything go away, is his point. Anthony asked me that. I'm like, that's kind of. You're not wrong. And it did it.

[Brett]

Talking about Stern earlier today, got rid of the OG and Beth.

[Wayne]

It's a little n. I guess maybe they got rid of Beth, too. Here's the thing. People do that well. No, here's the thing, though. He had already established himself as someone who's been through the beginning and end of a relationship. If you were single and had never done that. Oh, okay. Gotcha, gotcha. Do you have the foundational ability. Yeah. To start a relationship, like right now, all of us could, like, come in a ton of money and be fine because we understand how those work.

[Doug Hopkins]

30.

[Wayne]

Maybe, but not like when you're.

[Brett]

I'll get DiCaprio. He's never done it. He's like, nah, I'm good.

[Wayne]

Yeah. Because he's got go away money. It. I, I'm. That's an interesting thought, though.

[Larry McFeely]

He hasn't had the do the go away money necessarily, but he just.

[Wayne]

You're 24.

[Brett]

Get out.

[Wayne]

It's the mic. It's the Derek Jeter thing. It's like, look, I. I can. I know for a fact that I can move on to something as good as you. And that sounds horrible. And that's what makes me a bad partner. So I can't get involved because right now my brain's just going to be like, I'm not tolerating any from anyone.

[Larry McFeely]

I'm sorry, this is over. You can't make your mind up for.

[Wayne]

What you want for dinner. Maybe that's time to move on. Maybe that's the. Here's your gift basket. Off you go, seven bros. That's Brady's goodbye. That's. There's the Irish goodbye and the Brady goodbye. Seven bros. It was an interesting thought though because it's like it's a. It's a wise person that says I'm going to be a bad partner because I'm a commodity as well. I have value. I understand. I have value. People. I. I am in demand. And that at least in my mind is going to keep me from ever being good all the way to the end. I just. I won't be reasonable with you.

[Brett]

Seems like athletes do it.

[Larry McFeely]

They're like.

[Brett]

You're saying Jeter.

[Wayne]

Yeah, that's a very wise thing.

[Larry McFeely]

Relationships that they're in, they have that arrangement more or less.

[Wayne]

Sure.

[Larry McFeely]

Look, this is, this is.

[Wayne]

You have to understand that I just like there's a piece of me missing because of the wealth that's going to make me less than what you would expect from the traditional man. It's a self awareness that's actually really important. Tiger woods tried to be normal and realized I'm not. And I'm trying as hard as I can to just plug into a Toledo lifestyle and I just don't have that life.

[Larry McFeely]

I go to Perkins, next thing you.

[Wayne]

Know, next thing you know, some lady's pulling out her tampon and TMZ's picking it up and you're running into trees.

[Larry McFeely]

And getting hit with toilet.

[Wayne]

And. Brett, how dare you bring me into this conversation? Look, I'm. Look, Brettle Juice has his ways. You're not allowed to listen anymore, Brett. Even in the room. Even though you work here, you can't listen to the show anymore. I banned. I banned Brett from listening. He can talk, but you can't listen. Okay? Is that a good rule there, Red Robin? Yum? I think so too. In other words, we're putting John Gordon where you are because you just spout anyway, goodbye to Howard Ster. Evidently that's a real thing. Be around to the end of the year and then he'll start his new thing and maybe it'll be over at Dave Pratt's Worldwide Pants. All right, buddy. I make podwebs.

[Larry McFeely]

They're good buds.

[Wayne]

Come over and come do a podweb at my place. I know the future. I make podwebs on the Internet. We're all done. You guys have yourselves a fantastic Wednesday. We'll see you tomorrow on the morning Sickness.

[John Holberg]

It's not weird.

[Larry McFeely]
