Host: John Holmberg with Brady Bogan, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo

---

1. Health Intervention: Brady's Sodium Restriction and Kidney Health

The episode kicks off with a heartfelt and humorous intervention led by John Holmberg aimed at persuading Brady Bogan to adhere to his doctor's advice to cut back on sodium due to his kidney issues. The conversation is filled with playful banter and mock arguments as John emphasizes the seriousness of Brady's health situation.

• John Holmberg (03:33): "She said cut back on sodium. Why don't you just go, you know, let's try life without salt for a little bit."
• Brady Bogan (04:22): "Drink lots of water."
• John Holmberg (05:15): "Sodium's gotta go."

John passionately urges Brady to eliminate salt from his diet, highlighting the potential health risks if he doesn’t comply. Despite Brady's resistance and humorous deflection, the segment underscores the importance of supportive friendships in managing health challenges.

2. Community Concerns: Kids Playing "Assassin" with Water Guns

The hosts delve into a growing community issue involving children playing a dangerous game dubbed "Assassin," where realistic-looking water guns are used. This activity has raised alarms among residents and authorities alike, with concerns about potential misunderstandings leading to serious incidents.

• John Holmberg (33:03): "There's a kid with a gun in his hand in a crouch position at the Albertsons parking lot..."
• Brady Bogan (37:48): "Last man standing."
• John Holmberg (37:59): "If Brett saw this, he'd pull him over and stop him."

The discussion highlights the thin line between harmless play and actions that can be misconstrued, emphasizing the need for better community awareness and regulations to prevent unnecessary panic or accidents.

3. HOA Regulations: Flag Displays and Light Bulb Colors

A significant portion of the episode addresses homeowners' association (HOA) regulations concerning the display of flags and colored light bulbs. John and Brady critique the arbitrary and often conflicting rules that limit residents' ability to express support or honor various causes without facing repercussions.

• John Holmberg (46:37): "If you allow one guy to do it, you got to let everybody do it."
• Brady Bogan (48:58): "They’re coming down to the HOA. I hate HOAs, but they're right in this particular case."

The hosts argue that allowing individual expressions without guidelines would lead to excessive and meaningless displays, diluting the intent behind honoring specific groups or causes.

4. Unidentified Bodies in Arizona: A Grim Statistic

In a somber note, John Holmberg brings attention to a disturbing statistic regarding unidentified bodies in Arizona, crediting fellow host Brett Vesely for uncovering this issue. This revelation underscores potential systemic problems within local law enforcement and medical communities.

• John Holmberg (120:03): "Of the 15,460 open cases in the United States of unidentified bodies, 2,132 of them are Arizona."
• Brady Bogan (135:00): "That's 14% of the cold cases are in Arizona."

This segment serves as a call to action for increased scrutiny and improvement in processes related to identifying and handling unidentified remains, stressing the human cost behind the numbers.

5. Relationships and Engagement: Rings and Symbolism

A lighter yet insightful discussion revolves around the symbolism of engagement rings and societal expectations. The hosts humorously debate the significance of expensive rings versus more meaningful gestures, reflecting on personal anecdotes and cultural observations.

• John Holmberg (60:07): "It's all about whether or not their friends are going to be impressed."
• Brady Bogan (74:28): "I want to provide for you."

Through witty exchanges, they explore the disconnect between material symbols and genuine relationship commitments, advocating for authenticity over societal pressures.

6. Closing Remarks and Final Thoughts

As the episode wraps up, the hosts continue their trademark banter, touching on various topics from pop culture references to personal anecdotes. The closing moments reinforce the show's blend of humor, social commentary, and camaraderie among the hosts.

• John Holmberg (167:00): "It's time for this week's battle of musical supremacy known only as Rock Wars."
• Brady Bogan (168:00): "Stay away from hot sauce is low in sodium."

These final interactions encapsulate the show's dynamic, leaving listeners entertained while subtly addressing serious issues discussed throughout the episode.

Brady's back from his half day yesterday. EKG went well. It did, yeah. He started to fire off proud, terrible blood pressure numbers. But you seemed happy with him, so I guess that's good. And they're gonna still put you under? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Good. Good news. No news from the doctor that said but or did you hear anything? What was the. What was the most negative thing he said?

[Brady Bogan]

A cut back on sodium.

[John Holmberg]

Sodium's gotta go.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Salts out what's in your cup.

[Brady Bogan]

Go. Not go. Cut down on your sodium.

[John Holmberg]

Why was. Why. Why you don't go? Why?

[Brady Bogan]

Because I'm retaining.

[John Holmberg]

No, no. I'm asking, why not cut it out? What does cut back to you mean.

[Brady Bogan]

Too good to cut out.

[John Holmberg]

See, this is a problem, Brett. This is why the real friends have to stop.

[Brady Bogan]

I. I think it's impossible. No, it's salt and everything.

[John Holmberg]

We have been to the moon, my friend. Nothing is impossible.

[Brady Bogan]

You need some salt.

[John Holmberg]

No, you don't. You'll be okay. Listen, the doctor told him, cut back on salt. He says to us, well, you need salt and it's also impossible. Why don't you give it a try? Living a salt free life is Possible Water.

[Brady Bogan]

Drink lots of water.

[John Holmberg]

Chicken. No. Salt. You've eliminated salt from your life.

[Brady Bogan]

You've eliminated.

[John Holmberg]

You've eliminated salt from your life. He's. Christ.

[Brady Bogan]

Eliminated life.

[John Holmberg]

That ain't living, is what you're saying. Yeah, okay. But you can. It is very, very possible to eliminate salt.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, man, I think I'm losing my voice.

[John Holmberg]

I think you are, too. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, it's all that salt. I think he's overdone it. What's in your cup?

[Brady Bogan]

Green tea.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. I don't know. It's green. That's right. It's almost. Vegetable of the liquid.

[Brady Bogan]

Green tea with a couple scoops of salt.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Of course, you can't. Well, it's almost impossible. I have on my drive in, people just throwing salt at me. It's impossible to avoid it. You son of a. So they said, cut it back. And why wouldn't you. Why don't you just go, you know, let's try life without salt for a little bit. We're keeping our eyes on you.

[Brady Bogan]

I've been pretty good.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, no, you haven't, because you're arguing with me. And if you're like, I gotta get rid of salt, it's. You're right.

[Brady Bogan]

But then I can tell in the.

[John Holmberg]

Last three weeks you got fat ankles like a woman.

[Brady Bogan]

No, not as bad.

[John Holmberg]

What's happening to you?

[Brady Bogan]

I don't know. It's just fading all of a sudden.

[John Holmberg]

Did they do a throat test yesterday? They dropped something. You're. No. You just don't have a. All right. I don't like the future here. Brett doesn't look too good for screwed. All right, so let me. Sodium's go. Write that down. We'll be the ones that pay attention to him. Sodium's got to go. What else did he say? Something else had to happen yesterday.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, it was Dr. Miller.

[John Holmberg]

She. She. Well, all right. And she was just basically a second op, I think.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. I don't believe the broad.

[John Holmberg]

There you go. See? Thank you. Now he's making some sense. Go ahead, Toledo.

[Brady Bogan]

So you're going to watch us eat tomorrow at Viet Shack?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Are you going to V Shack tomorrow?

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah. Cuz they're.

[John Holmberg]

That's all salt.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, well, he's famous for working. Kind of playing. Playing that outing.

[John Holmberg]

It's so. What you can untie.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm going.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, here's the problem. When your doctor. When Mrs. Miller said, God, I wish it was a man, because he's. What's a girl doctor? They're always talking about bloating and swollen ankles. That's what she meant when she said cut back sodium. No more trips to Viet Shack. That's essentially she was saying for the operation. No, no. Yes, that's exactly right. Which is coming up. Not the day of, like, opinion between now and then, and then after. You should get used to it because you shouldn't have any salt after. Jesus Christ. His child. Yeah, Viet checks off the list. He can have it.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah. We're all going to have it.

[John Holmberg]

No, we're not. You're not. Why would you do this? She just said stop it.

[Brady Bogan]

No, she didn't say stop it.

[John Holmberg]

What'd she say? Cut back on sodium. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Viet Shack is all salt.

[Brady Bogan]

Okay?

[John Holmberg]

So cut back on that day. No, it's not all salt. That's all that is. Yes, it is. There is salt all over those foods. Yes, it is. Yeah, it's not. You're thinking of the stuff out of the shaker.

[Brady Bogan]

No, it's not.

[John Holmberg]

It's everything. Sodium, salt and everything.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

So don't eat the stuff that is.

[Brady Bogan]

Drink a lot of water.

[John Holmberg]

No, you don't know. Your kidneys don't work. Your kidneys don't work. That's what washes. It's not working. Oh, my God. Well, you go over there and punch him in the head. Avoid salt, but also avoid breaths. Back of his hand. City of Phoenix. Can you feel my pain here? Is trying to be the good guy. Trying to be the one that. You guys need to keep an eye on him, too. If we see Brady in the wild, smack it out of his hand and give him a piece of chicken. Dry, saltless chicken. Oh, that's terrible. Well, no, you can make a nice little. You know, you can put some stuff in there that makes it salt free. Talk amongst us because that's terrible. Come on, you know that. Oh, I'm not going to eat it. But the reason why is because I don't go to via check when the doctor says, you know it's killing you, right? And it's like, yeah, but if I drink enough water. That's not how it works.

[Brady Bogan]

See you tomorrow.

[John Holmberg]

You can go see Tong if you'd like some sodium, you can lick Tong's arm because he's got some on there. Like, you do it like. But you're done with the. What are you going to order over there? Do you know Asian food is like the, like, highest in sodium of all of them?

[Brady Bogan]

Might get the. Yeah, I do.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, well then what are we doing?

[Brady Bogan]

But they're also. They do have some low sodium stuff. Vegan options.

[John Holmberg]

You're not getting vegan options.

[Brady Bogan]

Come on.

[John Holmberg]

You. This is. You're lying to yourself.

[Brady Bogan]

Spring rol.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Those are loaded with salt.

[Brady Bogan]

No, they're not.

[John Holmberg]

Yes, they are. No, compared to most foods loaded with salt just less than what normal at his place is. This is less than the piles of it we put in. The normal food doesn't make it.

[Brady Bogan]

Spring roll, shrimp.

[John Holmberg]

Oh my God. Oh my God. There's literally like salt free seasonings. You're gonna start. No, no. Like these maybe has one that's loaded with some sort of other thing. Oh, for Christ's sake. Anyway, we're trying. We're trying to help. We're trying to help. That's the thing. Nobody's trying to hurt you here. Trying to help you here. Sodium's the worst thing you can do to yourself right now. You got two weeks, man. We got to have you back here. Don't get the menu. Just trying to help him out here.

[Brady Bogan]

So he can figure out what he's doing. Look at the spring rolls.

[John Holmberg]

I know we can look. Look at him. He just got a heart on. It's like a Johnny Finns movie to him. Well, let's see if we can find something that's. No, you're in sodium. Don't take him there. Why are you doing. You're not helping me. It's. Where's. Yeah, Jimmy Bon Jovi. He's. He goes to Japan all the time. The guy's a salt lick. Where's Ronnie in all this? Tying you to a bed or something? Stir fry veggies with tofu. That I arranged all this like this big Viet shack meeting of the mind. Wait, hold on. It's you. It's you. This moron. Brett. Jimmy Bongiovi. Yeah, yeah. And who? Tom?

[Brady Bogan]

Anyone else.

[John Holmberg]

And you guys. That's the freedom. And you're saying, oh, this brain trust.

[Brady Bogan]

Can'T break up a birthday special for Brett.

[John Holmberg]

Brett can do that on his own. Give him $15 and he'll go over there to Vietnam. Very reasonably priced. Viet shack. People who love you are the ones who care about you. Not eating that stuff. You think it's the other way around. They're being jerks. No, he could get numbers. Don't do this. Goy noi goi send. Lotus root salad.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[John Holmberg]

The root salad is it. I bet you it's loaded with something. Shrimp, Pork, Lotus roots. Oh, yeah. Pork is no salt. Carrots. They're not going to Salt that. Served with house chips and fish sauce. There you go. Oh, sure. House chips, pork.

[Brady Bogan]

You have some salt in the fish.

[John Holmberg]

I hate them. I'm starting to hate it. I'm starting to think that again I said it yesterday. I might sit here and go, cancer. All I'm trying to do are these to make. These are the items.

[Brady Bogan]

Those are average restaurant spring roll.

[John Holmberg]

Average restaurant spring rolls is 1500-2300mg of sodium.

[Brady Bogan]

Is that the. The clear noodle wrapped?

[John Holmberg]

That's average.

[Brady Bogan]

Not. Not to deep fry.

[John Holmberg]

Why risk it, though?

[Brady Bogan]

You see it up there?

[John Holmberg]

Just lettuce, mint, basil, rice, noodles.

[Brady Bogan]

It doesn't have.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, then don't. But just don't get it.

[Brady Bogan]

Are you not dipping it in sauce? You don't. You gotta eat it without the peanuts. Dipping in the peanut sauce.

[John Holmberg]

What sauce are you doing? Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah. That's how good it is.

[John Holmberg]

All right, I'm calling Bull. There's no way. I need to borrow your meta glasses tomorrow. Absolutely, I will. Listen, just watch him. Just one. I've had four glasses of water, F. John, and then he'll go to Wendy's and get himself a slushie on the way home and a polar pop halfway there. Why risk it?

[Brady Bogan]

It's not risking it.

[John Holmberg]

It is.

[Brady Bogan]

No.

[John Holmberg]

You are in risk mode. Wake up.

[Brady Bogan]

I am not.

[John Holmberg]

You are clear. No, you're not.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, you're cleared to go in surgery.

[John Holmberg]

To have a kidney removed, and your other kidney doesn't work.

[Brady Bogan]

It'll work better.

[John Holmberg]

It'll work better if you just avoid the sodium. I'm going home. I'm the only one who loves this guy. The only one who cares. And I'm gonna get the bad rap. What an asshole. No. The only one who cares. You're not cleared. You're cleared for surgery. Let's get you on the ball here, son. Can I get some tough love from this? It's your fault. You're worse. What did I do? You're good. You need to go. You know, this isn't a good idea. You know, if I. If I had a friend who was like, I get real nauseous and sometimes I pass out and my heart stops. On roller coasters. You don't take them to Six Flags. I'm going to make sure he doesn't overdo it. So. You're welcome. Thank you. You know. Come on. Idiots. What a guy. That I am. You're all screwed up, and you're just a jackass. Unbelievable. I want to make sure the little guy doesn't Overdo it.

[Brady Bogan]

Appreciate the little guy.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. Then get that too often. Now you made him feel. I better fill up. I'm. I guess I'm shrinking. Yeah. Your doctor didn't tell you? Hey, you're great. This is great. We can't wait to get in there. You're clear for surgery. Do whatever you want. She said cut back on sodium. That's the new rule for you. Yeah. Every day, have no sodium until you're just not. You don't want it anymore. And then your kidney will be. Then you will have that kidney jump up and do its job. Well, see, now the listeners are buying that. Hey, guys. Danny's has low sodium seasonings and Kingsford has great no salt seasoning. Hubby had kidney cancer and one kidney now. And what do you have to do? Cut out salt? She said no salt seasoning. She said low sodium. Did she say anything about via check, spring rolls and water. I'll ask Sarah about that.

[Brady Bogan]

This is good.

[John Holmberg]

Low salt pork options compared to these salt options. That's like when you go to the store and it says, you know, low fat. It like lays low fat. Low fat compared to what they have. It's lower than the pig fat that they've got. It's not low. Like none. Unbelievable. I'm trying. I'm doing the best I can. Sonic, this guy says, oh, my God, anything, vegan options has more salt. Yeah. Oh, you know, they gotta make it taste good. And he's right. He's not wrong when he. Sodium and salt make things better. That's why it's in a lot of stuff. You see, you need somebody to go to the doctor with you to hear things better than, everything's okay. We're ready. Because the only option yesterday was, yeah, well, let's just make sure everybody. The only everything's okay yesterday was to get you on the table. She also said, you're gonna find something.

[Brady Bogan]

It's good. You're down £14.

[John Holmberg]

That's great. That's where you were supposed to be doing good on you. That's awesome. That is good. Now, she also told you ready to rock job. She did not at any point say, everything's good.

[Brady Bogan]

I'll never hear from her again.

[John Holmberg]

That's right, because her job was to make sure you're not gonna die on the operating table. As she said, you're probably gonna make it. That was her only job yesterday. Good job. You're losing some weight. You're probably going to live on the operating table. That doesn't mean everything's good.

[Brady Bogan]

And. And afterwards she said, we're looking good, kid.

[John Holmberg]

Is that what she said?

[Brady Bogan]

No. Yeah, but they do say that, like, oh, we'll get through this.

[John Holmberg]

Of course. Yeah, you're gonna make it. But it doesn't mean it's roses.

[Brady Bogan]

What's the other thing is weird?

[John Holmberg]

When you're walking around there, all those cancer people.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. And you're like, you winning? The guy tells me, like, I didn't know what he meant right off bat. Took me just a second.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they're all. They're all in mode.

[Brady Bogan]

Yes, I am.

[John Holmberg]

I'm trying to pump you up and get you in mode. You got to get in mode. Like they are. They're fighting, always winning. They're cutting. Yeah, that. That dude that said that to you looked at you and he already assumed you were really sick just by the look of you. And that's normal. But he said, hey, you winning, buddy? Like you're doing what you're supposed to be doing. The no salt. You're back on the ball. What? Get out of here, baldy. You weirdo. Jesus. Brady had a beef stick in his hand. What are you talking about? It comes from a place of love, Brady.

[Brady Bogan]

I understand.

[John Holmberg]

Comes from a place of love. Christ on a crutch. No, we go. No, I don't even want another on you. Now. Me. Hey, two knows. Leave the fat man alone. He's already got two broads. He's got a third nagging. He doesn't need to add a Jew broad to his life. All right, you know what? You know what's gonna happen then when he drops dead because he can't stop staying away from, you know, Mrs. Dash's low sodium options, and everybody's like, wouldn't you say anything? What happened? Let this. Let this record stand. You're killing him. I'm not killing him. I'm going to make sure he doesn't overdo it. I don't see you stepping up, trying. Not going at all. What are you doing?

[John Holmberg]

You can't just call Tong and go, hey, man, Got some bad news. I'm not supposed to eat a lot of.

[Brady Bogan]

No, not allowed.

[John Holmberg]

You're not allowed to tell Tong you got reservations. Got reservations for a strip mall and Vietnamese restaurant. Charged that you just. What is like, yeah, this guy Tong would be you. You lose friendship with Tong if you just go, hey, can't make it today. Yeah, okay. He's not a very good friend. He's a crap friend. And Tong can eat all the salt he want. That's just awful. Can't. I told Tong I'd show up like his business and maybe he would maybe talk. Oh, we go out of business. And Brett on print paper, he'll say pho. Oh, no. But brilliant makes special pho for you. Sorry about that, Tom. Doctor says you're bad for me, but I like a bad boy. I'm coming over. I'm the only one who cares. I'm the only one who cares. You guardian. I what? Who's more trustworthy than me? Come on. I can trust you to, like, laugh the entire time that he's dipping into that goo and then taking a sip of water like he's counteracting things.

[Brady Bogan]

Neutralizer.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Because you have this. You have the counterbalances, the medical training of somebody from the 1300s. Just drink some water and have these leeches bleed you anyway. Well, I tried. Does Ronnie know you're going to be at Shack tomorrow? Nope.

[Brady Bogan]

Who?

[John Holmberg]

Another one who tells him. You shouldn't do that. All right, that's it then. I'll just pull back and watch. You want. You sit back and go, yeah, I'm done. Can you drive me to dialysis? He'll say. And I'm like, no, because you're gonna want to stop at Viet Shack afterwards because you think dialysis is a daily cure. Nope. You're out. That's it. As we get closer to the day, letting you and Brett can go over to the salt mines and start rolling around. I'm stopping him. I'm slowing it down.

[Brady Bogan]

I wouldn't mind working in a salt mine.

[John Holmberg]

I bet you would. Said. Here's what Brett just said to a drug addict. I'm going with him. Make sure he doesn't smoke all the crack. He just needs a little crack. You go. See, he's the cracker. You can't cut him off cold turkey. You know that. He's got to want to. And you and Jimmy. That's just it. He doesn't want. And this weird, you know, with Tong and. I don't understand. I told Tong he owns a restaurant. You can't piss those guys off. They'll cut you off. Didn't want to talk about this all day. Worried about you. I care.

[Brady Bogan]

You don't need to worry.

[John Holmberg]

No, I do need to worry about you need to start worrying about you. You do need to worry about you.

[Brady Bogan]

As always, there's a however in everything we present. Brady.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, so the recommended daily sodium intake for adults is 2,300 milligrams. Did you hear that the spring rolls were on average like 26.

[Brady Bogan]

He was looking at the deep fried spring rolls.

[John Holmberg]

All right.

[Brady Bogan]

This is a rice noodle.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. So. Okay, so you get. So you say you get half of. That's right on the bottom end of what? Your daily recommended intakes. That's the only thing you're gonna have tomorrow total. As a. As a spring roll.

[Brady Bogan]

No, you have a lot more.

[John Holmberg]

There's two spring rolls. Important to note that these recommendations are based on a healthy diet and do not take into account individual health conditions or medical needs.

[Brady Bogan]

You can hit 2, 300 milligrams pretty quick.

[John Holmberg]

Right. And you're not supposed to have much of any.

[Brady Bogan]

Not true.

[John Holmberg]

Really? You're normal. Let me. Let me reread that. Dr. Bogan. Individual health conditions or medical needs. You're. You're the same as everybody else.

[Brady Bogan]

Sure.

[John Holmberg]

What? What?

[Brady Bogan]

First of all. First of all, you're not the kid. It's. The kidneys. Did not go bad because of diet.

[John Holmberg]

They're not going to get better because. I know. And you have to make sure that.

[Brady Bogan]

You kidneys filter the stuff. The salt.

[John Holmberg]

Your diet will help you.

[Brady Bogan]

High sodium.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my goodness. Diet.

[Brady Bogan]

What do you think?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my. Formulated for. For us.

[Brady Bogan]

If. If the guideline is 2000 milligrams of sodium. When your doctor says cut back on sodium, what do you think that that means? Like, what's the number?

[John Holmberg]

Sodium.

[Brady Bogan]

What's the number?

[John Holmberg]

Do the best.

[Brady Bogan]

2300. No, people don't cut back.

[John Holmberg]

No. It basically says just try to avoid it completely.

[Brady Bogan]

But.

[John Holmberg]

But the other. Not keep it at a high number. Not keep it with regular people.

[Brady Bogan]

If you want to. You know, if you can cut down on your sodium intake to zero, which would be like, you know, there's all sorts of stuff. Like you said, eating out or just zero qualifier. You always say, if your doctor seemed to say no, you need to cut back.

[John Holmberg]

You're no Longer one.

[Brady Bogan]

Well then that's incorrect. They're not saying that. Okay. These are things I'll help.

[John Holmberg]

That's why people need to go to the doctor with you.

[Brady Bogan]

Losing weight will help.

[John Holmberg]

Huge. That's great. And what do you do? How do you lose weight?

[Brady Bogan]

Cutting back.

[John Holmberg]

How do you lose weight will help. How do you lose weight? Diet. What does the doctor said about your portion? The diet does matter. Don't use the d. Your kidney may not.

[Brady Bogan]

Diet does help is what they say on the kidney thing.

[John Holmberg]

Absolutely.

[Brady Bogan]

A diet can help. It won't make a difference. Your kidneys are getting. You could continue your life afterwards. Your kidneys are going to fail regardless.

[John Holmberg]

You're going to speed it up though.

[Brady Bogan]

There's no. It won't speed it.

[John Holmberg]

It does so there's absolutely nothing to. You can do anything. Why are you losing weight then?

[Brady Bogan]

Because going into the operation it's better.

[John Holmberg]

To go in and have an. So you're telling me if I went to you after this operation your doctor would be like let's get pizza.

[Brady Bogan]

What I'm telling you is. No, you'd go, I'm you having a hard time. But what I'm telling you is just like you're pressing.

[John Holmberg]

I know. No, I'm not pressing buttons.

[Brady Bogan]

Semi joking about like I guarantee.

[John Holmberg]

I know I'm gonna have a. I guarantee you. Your doctor is telling you your diet has to change after this.

[Brady Bogan]

They have not said that.

[John Holmberg]

So you have. You will completely continue the same way.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, I again this was talking to the pre surgeon side of it. Nephrologist. I talked to him last week.

[John Holmberg]

You got to get people to go with you. He wouldn't let us go yesterday.

[Brady Bogan]

That's great. That's awesome. Weight. That's great.

[John Holmberg]

Good diet. Yeah, good diet. That's always better. That's right. Yeah, there you go. You said it yourself, that helps. And you do that and that's with a better diet. But both doctors healthier diet means your kidneys won't struggle as hard because they're already in trouble. When you've got heart disease, they tell you avoid like eat heart healthy and be smarter. And even though it had nothing to do with your diet going in sometimes it definitely, you know, it's like the blood pressure thing. If you're. If your family has it, why add to. Well I got it no matter what, so I might as well make it worse. Yeah, that kind of thing. This guy's got the spring roll truth because he's married to a Vietnamese woman. Spring rolls. It's a second One I like this one, though. It says be careful. I knew a guy who quit drinking and smoking on the same day and died one week later. You're going to kill this guy for the kidneys do. It says married to a Vietnamese woman. I can attest what Brady is saying about the spring roll is correct. Spring roll he's referring to usually has a steamed shrimp or a slice of pork. The rest of it is transparent rice paper, usually with herbs and basal mint. Yeah, like a fruit and a mango pineapple. You're not eating these.

[Brady Bogan]

Delicious.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not going to lie when they say they're boring as hell. There's no way Brady isn't dipping that in the high sugar sodium peanut sauce, which is the only thing that makes it taste good. That is true. Those things are mush. Poop.

[Brady Bogan]

Just stay away from hot sauce is low in sodium.

[John Holmberg]

I want to go to your next doctor's visit and just go. Just do a lot of the shoulder things like see Mr. No way. Doctor's like, well, you got kidney failure. There's nothing to do about that. Can we do a remote from Dr. Patel's office or Dr. Miller or whoever? You might as well just. I mean, we'll go live from there.

[Brady Bogan]

Surgeon.

[John Holmberg]

There's always Kapoor. Dr. Kapoor. There's no avoidant nephrologist. Now, when you said it's not eating sodium is impossible, you were wrong. But going to the doctor and get an operation without a Patel, that is. Now, that's incredible. Well, I wouldn't get an operation if there wasn't a Dr. Patel somewhere in the line. Somewhere. Yeah. I hadn't seen a Patel. I'm not gonna trust. Yeah. Oh, 100%. There's no way your doctor said. Yeah, it's just. It's natural. You can do it. Dr. Smith, not next. Your diet has nothing to do with it. No, that's not true at all. There's no way. No way. That's it. I'm going with him. Next time you're coming with Tom. We're bringing that goddamn Johnny Boniovi. Drag his ass over there. See what you're doing? Yeah, Tong, you're coming too. I want to go. I got bit in the toran. Get in the car, Tom.

[Brady Bogan]

Tom caters.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, so I can just get whatever I want at the hospital.

[Brady Bogan]

The doctor said, why don't you bring over a platter?

[John Holmberg]

Kidneys are gonna fail either way. You might as well drive them out faster. Christ. I guarantee if I went to the Dr. Brady's operation. Oh, we got a big Buffet. When we wake up, he gonna be shocked. Surprise. Already low sodom option. You're an idiot.

[Brady Bogan]

You have some visitors. Yeah, who's someone? Said like seven brothers.

[John Holmberg]

Steam trays and hot plates. Move out the way. God, the place crowded. How many people need to be in here? It's only one kidney, John. I wish I could not give an F about myself, though, at the level that Brady does. It's hard to watch. It is hard to watch. It is hard to watch. We'll get him through it. But that means seven brothers is out now. Oh, because that's way out. Nope. All right, well, let's get Kirby on the ball to get you a good kidney so you can keep ruining things. Let's pop one in there, talk to Kirby. Because otherwise you wandered around with this dying kidney and this attitude. It's gonna be another, what, month and a half for that? One's gotta go, and they just start loading you up with pigs parts?

[Brady Bogan]

Had a guy over yesterday afternoon, was cleaning the carpet and the tile floors, and he donated his kidney. Yeah, I gave it to my nephew.

[John Holmberg]

Did you get one? Yeah. Oh, what are we doing?

[Brady Bogan]

I. I was just asking about the whole procedure and everything. It's like his nephew had, you know, pretty young, 22 years old, and he's like, honey, I'm giving my kidney.

[John Holmberg]

What? All right, you better hit up those two broads you live with and get one. Well, you know what? Then I'm going to change my attitude completely now that Brady's doctor has said what she said, which is nothing. There's nothing you can do about this at all with your diet. Let's change tomorrow's water drive to a big pork rind drop off for Brady tomorrow. I didn't have as much as he wants. Doesn't matter either way, men, you take care of everyone else. Now.

Holmberg's morning sickness. We should go to Vegas and go to that salt place. Oh, Salt Bay. And just drop it down. Oh, my God. It's a great idea. I mean, every doctor's told them. Doesn't matter.

[Brady Bogan]

I'll check it out.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you should. You should check it out. We'll get your little IV stick walking around with that fluid that in your port, in your side that you're gonna have to have.

[Brady Bogan]

Keep it flowing.

[John Holmberg]

Adorable. Keep that port going because you know your water is gonna. You dumb mother. So what happens when you spend a lot of time with somebody and after a while I just watch him, you know, deteriorate and look you in the eyes and say, I don't care. I don't care. He says, crying out loud. This guy's wondering why Ralphie hasn't been summoned down to help Brady out during this conversation. Oh, my gosh, Ralphie.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, he'd have some great advice.

[John Holmberg]

He used to always tell me stuff like that. Don't have to worry about that. Look, I had gotten to a car accident when I was 16. My weight is because I'm depressed. My God, depression is so fattening. I don't eat a lot, Johnny. Oh, you don't? Then how are you £700? Depression, okay, that. You just pile it on. Doctor says it has nothing to do with my food intake. It has everything to do with my body's ability to digest all the food you put in it that you. Are you hearing yourself? I remember telling him in Vegas, two months before he died, I'm gonna get bigger and bigger because that Jew bro, It's making me so depressed. Because you eat when you're depressed now. That has nothing to do with it. You see me at dinner like Ralphie. I've seen your hotel room. You order takeout. You don't eat in front of people. Oh, is that what his dinner. That was his thing was he would sit at a dinner. You're like Ralph. He doesn't even eat much. You go to his room, takes everything to go well. And that he would take everything off the table to go and then order food all night. Oh, just room, sir. The dying. The day he died, they got up at 4 in the morning to go get Jack in the box. He had pneumonia. Nothing better for you at four in the morning when you're. When you get pneumonia and you're not doing well is a couple of breakfast Jacks and some he was into a terrible diet. Every time I talked to him about it. Now it has that to do with it. I eat right. This is. This is depression. Yeah, that's right. As you swallow all that depression and it loaded with fat. Oh, I'm gonna hit him. And I'm gonna hit Ralphie too. Well, anyway, when they're dragging you out from under the bed. Well, I guess. See, I told you. So far, maybe you get caught up in Gilbert in one of these. Is Kirby involved in the senior assassins? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

She played last year.

[John Holmberg]

Not video.

[Brady Bogan]

Yes. We go out and you're squirt gunning each other.

[John Holmberg]

Cops are going to start shooting your kids. Do you know about that? The cops are like we're going to start shooting them. They're painting their guns black. They walk around and shoot each other with water guns.

[Brady Bogan]

She didn't do that.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well, they're starting that now. So this, this is the stupidest game ever. These little handguns they're running around with in the middle of the day, they.

[Brady Bogan]

Win $4,000 or $5,000 that you pay for your team and you just wander.

[John Holmberg]

Around life and shoot.

[Brady Bogan]

No, it's. You do it in your class.

[John Holmberg]

Well, they were doing it in neighborhoods and at a grocery store. So it's expanding because, you know, they don't know boundaries.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, well, you're not. The rules are like you can't take anyone out on school property during school hours.

[John Holmberg]

Right. So every school that's afraid of school shootings.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Is allowing senior assassins.

[Brady Bogan]

As far as I know. I mean, they're letting them run around with guns if they stop it. But I'm totally fine with that. But Kirby's done it two years.

[John Holmberg]

But nobody sees a problem with kids with fake guns that look pretty real running around a school.

[Brady Bogan]

They've been. I mean, like I said, they've been doing it for years. And they're like.

[John Holmberg]

Again though, like now that it's becoming a thing to where it's like all over again. That, that doesn't seem.

[Brady Bogan]

It's been a thing for a while. And you know, obviously that hasn't been the. The case.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. It says it spans all Gilbert cops. Says it has been going on for a while. It spans wherever they can walk, run, drive or ride into town now. So they run around outside doing it. They're running around everywhere but the school.

[Brady Bogan]

There was a kid parked outside of our house. Kirby couldn't leave that. You're, you know, you're in safe zones.

[John Holmberg]

They have all these rules except the One which is. Don't run around with a gun. The cops are going to shoot you. That one seems to kind of go away from. From them.

[Brady Bogan]

That. That is a reminder of. I tell her that. I'm like, don't do it.

[John Holmberg]

This is the stupidest game I've ever heard.

[Brady Bogan]

You realize what some of the. It's mostly the boys.

[John Holmberg]

Did you buy her a handgun of water?

[Brady Bogan]

No, she has a. She bought her own squirt gun and.

[John Holmberg]

She walks around life with a squirt gun.

[Brady Bogan]

It's mostly like a Super Soaker.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. But like every day she's got a Super Soaker just in case you.

[Brady Bogan]

You're. As I remember, you're safe if you wear water wings. I can't. You can't be shocked.

[John Holmberg]

Imagine curtain Dan on this. Oh, my God.

[Brady Bogan]

They've got the rules where there's like.

[John Holmberg]

You know. Who doesn't? The parents in Gilbert fires. The parents in Gilbert don't have rules. You're not back in. That's the weirdest and stupidest thing ever. They walk around with water guns trying to eliminate their friends.

[Brady Bogan]

You have to film the assassination.

[John Holmberg]

This is a whole group of people who are evidently scared to death every day. They've got mental disorders. They've got pills they have to take. For all the sadness and all the fear that they face of school problems and shootings. And this is the game they come up with.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, it's definitely not that way at Kirby School.

[John Holmberg]

What do you mean?

[Brady Bogan]

As far as the way the kids handle them.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I know. But I'm just saying in general.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

That kids are. If the first thing they do, they learn how to manipulate the parents into thinking I need. I'm so worried about my safety and all that. They're all scared to death of horrible things.

[Brady Bogan]

It is an interesting.

[John Holmberg]

It's a terrible idea.

[Brady Bogan]

Point of the Gilbert goons and all this.

[John Holmberg]

Right. You're scared of all the.

[Brady Bogan]

You're okay with this game here the.

[John Holmberg]

Teens are out of control and walk.

[Brady Bogan]

Around with handguns shaking my head during most of this. When it was coming down. That Gilbert has a real problem with gang fights and.

[John Holmberg]

Right. And you're running around letting them shoot it. Practice shooting.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. They're playing assassin every year.

[John Holmberg]

He's an assassin. Training mode.

[Brady Bogan]

You wouldn't say, oh, what are we teaching?

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's not their job. It's the parents jobs.

[Brady Bogan]

That's what I mean.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Every parent should be like, we're not. You're not involved in this. If you get squirted, you get Squirted. But you're not playing.

[Brady Bogan]

Parents help out sometimes.

[John Holmberg]

I know. And that's what the kids. The kids on the news last night were like. Yeah, if you paint it black, it's easier to hide. Well, now it looks like a nine.

[Brady Bogan]

That's dumb.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it's all done.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, kids are dumb.

[John Holmberg]

Kids are dumb. Like, I mean, like, water gun fights happen in backyards. Yeah. Now they're running. They're sneaking up on each other. So you get a kid with a gun in his hand in a crouch position at the Albertsons parking lot, and he was running up behind somebody, and they blurred the kid's face out, and he just shoots away. And like. And that was on his TikTok. And they're like, this is a problem. Do they play that in Maryville? Because if Brett saw. No, they don't play that in Maryville. I guarantee they're not doing much water gun assassinations in Maryville. If Brett's in the parking lot, he sees a dude with a gun in a crouch behind a bush, running up to a girl at the door, and he draws on her. This dude I'm pulling might finish. And parents are like, it was a squirt gun. What's wrong with you? They're just. No, it's your fault. It's the parents of. It's their fault. You're right. It happened in Maryvale. Yeah. Bring the goons over the Maryville and play that game. Have them.

[Brady Bogan]

They might. They might.

[John Holmberg]

No, that.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, it's big high school game.

[John Holmberg]

Maryvale's not playing the squirt gun game.

[Brady Bogan]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Nobody's drawn fake guns in Maryvale. They just are like, this is. We're gonna go to work. You get a two confused. You got your real gun on your left hip, your fake gun on your right. You're gonna end up shooting somebody. And besides that, they would assume that the kids in Maryvale are going to school. That's ridiculous. They'll drop out. The point. Having a Maryvale education, it's insane. Plus, most of the seniors in Maryvale have to go to work in the morning at like 24 years old anyway. Yeah, I was watching that in the news last night. I'm like, this, this. Shouldn't this just. Parents are the problem. Like, they're like. The cops are like, what should we do? Like, like, you do your job. Like you. Anybody drawing a gun on someone else, the cop's job is to take them down. Yeah, and your kids are weird. If they're 17 and walking around with super soakers at the store. That's just strange. And then you. How does it end? Like, all the kids have to be dead. Who wins?

[Brady Bogan]

Last man standing.

[John Holmberg]

How do you do that?

[Brady Bogan]

Or person?

[John Holmberg]

So it's the Hunger Games. So they make an announcement on Tick Tock. Oh, I just got exactly so and so. You're down to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[Brady Bogan]

But I think they're allowed one or two buy ins. Like ones.

[John Holmberg]

Where does the money rest? Is there a commissioner? Because if it's Toledo, you're never going to see it.

[Brady Bogan]

Two commissioners. Or there might be three.

[John Holmberg]

Man, your kids are dumb. Every one of them is a crazy thing. Well, when Brett shoots one of your kids out there because you're close to Gilbert now, you might be at one of those stores. And Brett's been dying to draw on somebody for years. I know that to be true. He's a Jedi. Yeah. Watch the one last night. The kid in the news, he was literally sneaking around in a parking lot. Runs up behind a bush, comes shooting out of the bush and fires right in this girl's face. Somebody is gonna get shot. Somebody's gonna get shot. And then the parents would be like, this is insane. Everybody knew about Assassin's water guns. Why are we so awful to our kids? This is the first I heard about it right now, so I didn't know. I've been going on for high five because we don't have to for years. Well, it's the parents fault then. It's been going on for years too. Come up with a better game, like throw rocks at each other like we used to. That's fun. Go play in Maryvale. Yeah, we gotta. We need to. You know what they need to do? I don't know if they still do field trips at schools where they. Instead of taking your museum, they do over to Maryvale and just go, hey, kids, want to play guns today? We're going to play in Maryvale. I bet you're not so cavalier and brave running around the Albertsons in Maryvale with your gun drawn so you can squirt Braden in the face. Yeah. And Kirby's still doing it.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

So she'll grab her Super Soaker and go.

[Brady Bogan]

You gotta. You have to have a partner and not everyone.

[John Holmberg]

Do you ever drive her around for this? Have you done that in the past?

[Brady Bogan]

No.

[John Holmberg]

No. Okay, good.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, I've just had a kid, you know, he's. Like I said, there was a kid that was trying to get her outside of her house. Like she's not coming out of shot on her Full time to go. And then one time another group came by trying to get the neighbor's kid.

[John Holmberg]

And. Kirby, you got drive bys in your neighborhood, too? Yeah, Water Stoke. Drive bys.

[Brady Bogan]

That's the other thing. I think that's. I. I tell her too, when they're doing these things. They're driving.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

So there's stupid driving going on.

[John Holmberg]

100 parenting issues here. Shooting out windows. So you're telling me they're leaning out windows with guns, firing at each other?

[Brady Bogan]

No. Yeah. You can't shoot someone in the car.

[John Holmberg]

But if they're walking down the street. Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. It's Ricky, for God's sakes. And so you're basically making them.

[Brady Bogan]

Could hit them from.

[John Holmberg]

Right, yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

The car.

[John Holmberg]

You're making them unafraid of a barrel of a gun coming out of a car. It's a game. It's fun.

[Brady Bogan]

No, they. They. It's actually good training for that.

[John Holmberg]

Is it?

[Brady Bogan]

You run.

[John Holmberg]

You see? Supposed to do that anyways. Hopefully. All right, well, I'm just happy I'm A, not there and B, don't have any of those little rats. Thank you, doctor Lynn. Thank you, doctor Lynn. A real hero for two thirds of us in this room. He would be for you if you listened to him at all. But you didn't. Dr. Lynn's the one who found Brady's issues in the first place. What a. What a.

[Brady Bogan]

What a world.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Maryvale road trip needs to happen. He's Gilbert. These tough Gilbert kids need to be like, let's go to Maryville road trip. Let's just go. Just walk around, play your game here, see how that goes.

[Brady Bogan]

Skip the dairy farm field trip.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, the dairy farm's not important anymore. He'll figure that out later. Yeah. This fool park is Tesla next to my Impala. It's like. Yeah, it's like. It's the reason why those Christian schools all play each other. And you have to drive to show low to play another one. They're not going to go over there. Let's take on Maryvale's football team's like, mm. They're all 30. You don't want to play them. Those guys are semi pro. Nobody wants to play Maryvale. If you can get them off the schedule, you will because you don't want to go there. You might beat the team, but you're in Maryvale anyway. Well, tried to solve some of the world's problems. No one's listening. Everyone does what they want. Give us a wake up song five eight five nine thousand eight hundred a good one. Low sodium preferred. It's 98 KUPD. Wake up. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station said fully erect. Still streaming, Homberg's morning sickness online at 98kupd.com Katie and the Hobbs there, Miles to nowhere. Kicking off Wednesday for you. Off we go. This guy said those, those gun things are real. I said, I had two teenage boys outside my house last night, both with guns. And my first thought was, well, call the cops. What's going on? Then I went to go grab my AR and keep an eye on it until I realized, oh, those are squirt guns. But at first glance at Dusk, doesn't look like a squirt gun. Yeah, see, that's what a cop just emailed me. Goes, dude, realistic guns will always be a problem. Realistic looking, fake guns, I don't get that. And I don't think it's a good excuse to say, oh, it's been going on for a long time. That cop that was on, I think it was out of channel 15 or something, and he basically said it's like playing ball in the house. It's fine until something goes wrong, but usually something bad happens. Didn't they shoot a kid with an airsoft gun a couple years ago in Tempe? I think it was in Tempe they killed a kid who was walking around with an airsoft gun because those all. The only difference on those was the orange tip at the end. Sometimes they remove them or they cover them up. Cover them with black tape. There's one email talks about that in Indiana or something. Oh, this one said, this one here, this is. They've been doing it for years. They catch each other at stores. Only idiots are painting them black now. It says, you know, in case you don't remember, the squirt guns are usually bright colors. It's just a fun game for the kids and their parents. Plus, I heard it helped with places with actual gun violence. I doubt that. No. Just seems like I don't know that it helps or hurts that I just don't, you know, I can't imagine Brett seeing a bear. Imagine a veteran sees a barrel of a gun come out of a car and aim it at somebody over at the Walmart and like, forget it. Well, imagine like, you know, like Kurt Vesley or Dan getting out of their car and seeing some little punk jumping out, sneaking around and. Oh my God. Yeah, I mean, because they don't, they don't know about this kind of stuff. Nope. I'm finding out about it now. So you just now knew not to shoot a kid who's got a gun. And what are you supposed to do? Yeah, there's another thing.

[Brady Bogan]

It's probably good that you now know about it.

[John Holmberg]

It is. No, it is, but it'd be better if the like I just found out. Isolate that to parks and stuff where you were supposed to, like where you're not supposed to just wander around parking lots and all other places.

[Brady Bogan]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

I never knew what the. I don't know. And I evidently wearing. God. And if it's for four grand, aren't the last two going to end up pissing each other off? Now that's going to end in a fight, right? If it's for a bunch of money.

[Brady Bogan]

Or they'll split the pot.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, well then the last three, eventually you'll get down to the.

[Brady Bogan]

I'll split it with you.

[John Holmberg]

The last kid that didn't get paid is going to come out of this thing pissed off. It's not fair. I hit Brett two weeks ago. You're gonna have those arguments and the next thing you know, now you do have gun. Anyway, have fun with that.

[Brady Bogan]

The commissioners are making money on it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well, if it's Toledo, be the commissioner.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Collect the money and skip town. Teenage commissioner. They're paying cash. That's great. There's another thing in the news lesson that's going to lead to somebody getting poked. Some dude put red and blue bulbs in his drive in his driveway to honor first responders and stuff. So he's got these red and blue light bulbs in his front and he's like, it's for the first responders. I'm giving them a thank you. And the HOA is like, get him out. And so he calls the news. And I don't stand up for hoas too often, but you have to in these situations. And the reasons why is. Cause there's better ways to do this than that. What if the dude down the street wants to honor like Chinese restaurants and he puts like a weird red and yellow bulb in. And then the guy up the road wants to do Mexican restaurants and he puts a red and green one in. And anytime you want to honor something, you just change your light bulbs. That's the whole purpose of living in a place with an hoa. Sure noble cause to have to honor first responders. But if you allow one guy to do it, you got to let everybody do it. And the next thing you know, you got a series of goofed up purple light bulbs in honor of strippers named Alicia, who knows what the hell. You're honoring everything. And I get it, but the dude was on the news last night. He was pissed off.

[Brady Bogan]

They're gonna run into that more and more then with the forever light deals and that. You can, you know, program those.

[John Holmberg]

Those are cool colors, but.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, but I still go around, you know, the neighborhood, and there's people you're trying to figure out, oh, they've got.

[John Holmberg]

This who knows what you.

[Brady Bogan]

And here's the thing.

[John Holmberg]

For me, this. This whole deal of these, like, our world is all about false gestures. Your light bulbs in the front yard to honor the first responders, go down to the fire department and then say thank you. Well, what is the. Like. Like, you're hoping they drive by your neighbor, your gated neighbor.

[Brady Bogan]

They're driving by. They have no idea.

[John Holmberg]

I have no clue what's going on. Blue and red doing that. It's a pat on your own back. Like, oh, you got blue and red lights on. You just look like a crazy person. Or you're super patriotic. I don't know what happened to us. Like. Like, there's like, oh, I posted about it. I put up a post so the world knows that's for you. If you want to honor these people, take a day of your life and go over to firehouses and, you know, bug the cops for a minute. Just go, hey, just want to say thank you. I made you a cake. And you know what they'll do? They'll go, thank you, and they'll throw the cake away, because lunatic would do that, but just go buy one. Yeah, they don't waste your. Just give them a gift card. There you go. Yeah. Office. I want you guys to buy yourself a cake. I didn't want to bring one because I know you'll toss it, but I just want to say thank you for all you do. Somebody in my neighborhood, because we live close to a flag. Well, you're not allowed to do that with hoas either. And there's a reason why. Because you put up a flag for your thing, and then now it's okay to put up, you know, Mark pies. Golden Gate flag is like, I love Chinese restaurants. Don't start them again. I know. And then you start going up and down, and then Brady's got his Viet Shack flag up. You can't.

[Brady Bogan]

It would look like a used car lot. I'd have so many flags up.

[John Holmberg]

But you got a. The flag inflatable guy with the arms and stuff, too. I'm not a huge fan of all that stuff. I Think on a sports day you can put a sports flag up and take it down that night. I do that with my Steelers as I have a neighbor friend who's an Oregon guy. He puts his Oregon flag up. The gay neighbors, like the Broncos, the bucking kind. And you put, they have their flag on Sundays and then we take them down and it's all good. If it stayed up all the time. People like, what are you doing?

[Brady Bogan]

My guess is our neighborhood, the American flag is allowed.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Year round.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, there's people.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. There's have a permanent pole.

[John Holmberg]

That's fine. You can do American flags, but you can't do like a stein of beer.

[Brady Bogan]

And then you see, you do see the, the team flags, but like you said, they're not up for a day.

[John Holmberg]

For the game time. That's fine. And I think everybody's like, that's good. So long as it's not going to be up there all the time. But they're, they're coming down to the HOA. I hate HOAs, but they're right in this particular case because you do one, you got to let everybody it do it. And again, beyond that, what happened to us? What happened to us as a society? I want to honor these people, but I don't want to meet any of them. So I'll just do some weird false light bulb change out. And you know, of course you're going to get a rap on the door from the hoa. Guys, what is this? What are you doing? That's for first responders. I'm going to get it out. That looks stupid. And you're going to mess it up. The whole neighbor, this guy down the street who loves Mark piece and he's gonna have Chinese lights, red lights up just in honor of so he could tell the Chinese delivery driver, hey, it's my house. The one with the red lights. Plus it does look dumb. Let's go down there and honor. Do it the right way. Honor them. We got that stair climb coming up, the 911 stair climb, which I did last year, which was awesome. We got that coming up. You can sign up for that. And that truly does kind of, you know, it really does something and honors a thing. And you actually go through a whole rigamarole of things. And at the end there's a beneficiary to it. There's like a charitable donation. But sticking a light in your front yard, that doesn't know first responders don't stop and go, guys, thanks. This is pretty amazing what's going on here with this Guy bought a couple light bulbs of color. Notice I didn't say colored light bulbs, but it's not a thing. Go down there and say something to them. Them. And that's. That's the way you honor first responders by saying thank you and getting hell out of their way. The best way you can. Honor first responders pull over when their lights are on. Stop stopping in your lane. Get over to the right. I watched a Waymo do it. I was in a Waymo doing it. A fire truck coming at us. And I'm like, what the hell's this thing doing? Stopping and cutting off into the edge and going to the right the whole way. I didn't see the fire truck coming at us the other direction. I'm like, this thing, man. Does it get it? It went all the way to the curb, like, way across the road. Like, nice job, Waymo. One thing Waymo didn't do, which I absolutely found hysterical. There's a church up there by Rooster. On Saturday, I left my car there to be responsible and took away my home and left my Jeep up there at Rooster. So I went Sunday morning to go get it. And there's a church called Impact Church next. Next door to Rooster. You said it used to be like a grocery store years ago. Yeah, Huge. And on Sunday morning, not thinking why, didn't even think about they closed. Like, the road has to be, like, they led to traffic and stuff. It's like, crazy. So I was going, evidently, right before the Safeway church services started. I didn't know what was going on. So, like, oh, this is a church. So the Waymo pulls into that parking lot for some reason and has to cut through to get to where my Jeep. I didn't know where my Jeep was. And it was. It took a weird route to Rooster. And there's a dude doing hand signal traffic. Waymo doesn't. Wayma don't with that. He just like, nope. Move. And the dude's like, trying to stop the Waymo. And he's not in the Waymo's way. He's just standing in the middle of the road. And Waymo just blazes right by, like, nope. And the guy just throws his arms in the air. And the next thing you know, we're driving around in the Impact Church parking lot, dodging and weaving past. It looked like a Tyler Perry movie, I gotta be honest. Like, the whole thing was there. Like, just a bunch of Medea's running around. And it was weird. And then so it finally worked its way through, and I'm like, oh, they got to work on that one. That's a. That's a waymo nightmare right there. But, yeah, get out of the way for the first responders. When you see a guy in his EMT gear say thanks. A cop say thanks. Firefighter say thanks. That's how you really honor them. Putting up lights at your house and getting in trouble, the HOA and then calling the news. Nobody ever thinks of that stuff. What if the dude down the road is a. Like a Luigi Mangione fan and he wants to honor him and you're like, let's put up flagstone. Okay. You put up a flag for that. He's gonna put up a flag for his thing. And then I know what would happen in those neighborhoods. That rainbow flag would go up somewhere in your neighborhood. And the next thing you know, we gotta stop this whole flag nonsense. Can't have those things floating around.

[Brady Bogan]

I can have my united health care flag.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And then the next door neighbor's gonna make. Because you can do that now. He calls the 4 imprint and gets a Luigi Mangioni flag. Next thing you know, you got, you know, people fighting in the hood. Holmberg's morning sickness. Yeah, I just don't. I don't under these. These. These false gestures. These. Why are your lights red and blue? Oh, I'm honoring first responders. And then it's just so people go, oh, my God, that's so great. And you feel good about you. The only person getting honored in that situation is you. No first responders are ever going to see that or care or. No, it's dumb. So many better ways to do it. The very least you can do is change your light bulbs to a different color. The second, and maybe it's a tie, is to post something on Facebook or Instagram saying, I really honor those people. Well, good on you. Do something about it. Find a charity. Be better. We kind of stink at that stuff.

[Brady Bogan]

Even that. I mean, people still will put up a flag or a band, you know, like the cancer ribbon. You'll sure flags every now and then.

[John Holmberg]

You know, but you got to watch flags in HOA neighborhoods, in all neighborhoods. Don't be the guy who puts up a flag because you're just inviting other people to start supporting their stuff. And eventually, maybe everybody's perfect in your neighborhood. You're like, this guy's cop friendless guy's firefighters is emt. Oh, that guy loves. You know, he's got a breast cancer thing. And then that one, I guarantee a neighborhood rainbow flag. Oh, I see. All right, Then the next one's like, oh, we're doing that LGBTQ Plus. Then you get one that just says trans rights. And suddenly all these people who are, I'm supporting the U.S. i don't want that flag up. You're gonna find one flag you don't want eventually.

[Brady Bogan]

I love unicorns.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know if he's trying to scam a free meal or something, but Batman, our cop, he says, buy him lunch. Buy him lunch. That's right. I've done that. I've seen guys in military outfits before sitting there. I'm gonna grab your lunch. You just buy them lunch. It could have been some lunatic who just went over to the, you know, the surplus and bought himself a bunch of camouflage clothes and got a name tag. What's it cost you? 15 bucks. Exactly. And it was worth a shot. And you know who felt good in the end of that? Me. Deep down, we do that stuff for ourselves. That's a nice thing. But, yeah, this whole. And I never side with hoas, but take your stupid lights down, because, you know, it's. You know, the dominoes start falling at that point. Point, I'm going to put up a flag that says, I absolutely stand by United Health Care. Oh. Then Che Guevara goes up a couple houses over. Now you know who to hate. Breeds hate flags. Breed hate. God hates flags. I've said it once. I've said it a million times in my life. And another thing we got to get all over here is everybody needs to start some sort of. Now that we have contact with celebrities in the fourth walls, and you can just Instagram and slip into their DMs and do whatever. This Cristiano Ronaldo dude has ruined it for almost everybody. I don't know what you're thinking already. You're, like, the world's most handsome, successful, richest athlete ever. Did you see the ring he put on that girl's finger?

[Brady Bogan]

Headlight.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my. My headlights on my Jeep are smaller. Like, I know that I could. Did you see that thing? Look at it.

[Brady Bogan]

Said it's $5 million.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, and that's low estimates. Yeah, that's like, people aren't sure. I don't know.

[Brady Bogan]

Jewelers are chiming in.

[John Holmberg]

Like, how many slaves died mining that diamond? It's the biggest one I've ever seen. Here. Look at this, Brett. It's insane. It's a car tire. What do you do wrong? That's what I wondered when I first saw it. Yeah, because Kobe didn't even buy a ring that Big. And his bring was big. I would like to see a woman.

[Brady Bogan]

Turned down post nuptials, too.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I know he already married. Trying to hang out. Get her another one. Yeah. Get a pink diamond. It was like the forgiveness diamond.

[Brady Bogan]

Was it yellow? What? You want to.

[John Holmberg]

I want to see a woman finally say, that's too big. Give it back. Never.

[Brady Bogan]

And you won't.

[John Holmberg]

You won't. Because it isn't about the string around your finger. It isn't about the unity circle. It's about whether or not their friends are going to be impressed. And he's Ronaldo. So that has carrots. He has how many? 50 carrots. Jesus Christ. Yeah, Some dude in a swamp. Remember Blood diamond when he had to do the. He had to pick that one up with his toes and, like, hide it. Yeah. They're saying 3 to 5 million. I've seen a couple estimates that are like. It depends on where you get this. It's like, could be 8 to 10. Because he's Ronaldo and he's got a ton of money. He can't give her just a basic ring. Good on him, though, you know? I mean, she's not that hot, I'm going to tell you that. Oh, he. I bang him before her. He's perfect. That is. That is bad. And, you know, I feel most sorry for right there is like, school teachers and stuff, because women have the Internet and they see this stuff, and that's what I've. I've never understood it, ladies. I've never understood it. It.

[Brady Bogan]

He made 275 million last year.

[John Holmberg]

So, yeah. I mean, it's dropping the bucket.

[Brady Bogan]

Might have added to, like, I'll throw a little more at the ring.

[John Holmberg]

Right. But still, isn't it about the symbol? It's not about the value. Or is it? Oh, you're so cute. I know. And I'm the one pointing this out, shining this big spotlight on it for the ladies. But that's who I feel sorry for. Like school teachers handing over a ring, ladies. I've never understood it. You've got so much power and leverage, man. Again, I go through this room and I look at Brady and I look at you, and I think of me. I'm like, well, how in the world would anybody want to. Want to be with this at all when that's what really matters to them deep down? Who doesn't? We wouldn't be with you. I know. And you're dumb. That's just dumb. If I was a woman.

[Brady Bogan]

They're out there, John.

[John Holmberg]

I know. And they're the dumb ones. If I was a woman, I wouldn't settle for either of you two knobs. And I like you both. Well, neither. I mean, why would you and Ronaldo. Oh, please. I would be working so hard on the local Ronaldo for me. Is it? Yeah, I can tell. I think she's saying, geraldo, I think you're very close to Ronaldo, but she thinks you're kind of a sensational television guy. Yeah, I would be working. I don't know who the local Ronaldo is, but I'd be. I'd be trying to find him. I'd be down there at the Diamondbacks. But I do what those girls do at the fall league. Baseball. Who's the biggest prospect? And then they parade around.

[Brady Bogan]

Waste management.

[John Holmberg]

Waste management. Open is exactly where you go.

[Brady Bogan]

Barrett Jackson.

[John Holmberg]

It's a woman's job to find that. It's a man's job to fool you. That's essentially what this is about. We have to make you think we're one of what you're looking for. You know, that's the. When you climb into my Lamborghini, but we can't go back to my house because it's getting fumigated, then you know you've just been duped. Yeah, I got a issue. I'm getting it to painted. The whole house is painted. And so we can't go to my. Let's go to your place. Oh, I guess. All right.

[Brady Bogan]

How much do you think that echoed with Annie Letterman, who was here last week, and she sewed her ring.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. I joked. I said, what's he doing? Teacher.

[Brady Bogan]

Teacher.

[John Holmberg]

Lying. Yeah. It hurt her. Oh, yeah, it's done. Because she deep down knows could be better. Things could be better. And then the Ronaldo ring flashes. I don't feel sorry for dudes because we know our lot. That's tough for women. Can you imagine being Ronaldo's wife's friend? And she walks in with that baseball diamond on her finger. Hi. Ronaldo and I are engaged now. Yeah. Great. I see you got a ring from your husband. Well, I barely see that you've got a ring from your husband. Think about Toledo. Cupid Zirconium. One of the reasons Toledo's not gonna marry Lisa. And they're just. Imagine that the Tic Tac he'd put on her finger would be embarrassing. All of us compared to that. Don't comment to Ronaldo. I mean, it's not helping. It just makes you realize what? Where the bread is actually butter. But Toledo's smart. He's like, nah, marriage is off the table, basically. He doesn't want to throw that out.

[Brady Bogan]

He's done it before.

[John Holmberg]

Right. But there's also a reason why we all have. Yeah. There's no reason for him to put another ring on her and have her friends giggle the whole time, because that's what they were. You're the only first timer. Yeah. We've all been around. It's ridiculous. Yeah. The ring shouldn't. I think we should make as men. We should be like, no. We should be the ones that conquer the idea of like, it should be a symbol and we should eliminate that. We should start going back to like strings or, you know, something tied to your finger. And then women wouldn't want it.

[Brady Bogan]

Elizabeth, the silicone band.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Something. Yeah. The rubbery kind of gummy band. Yeah. That's a nice idea. The friendship bracelets. Yeah. Friendship. That's what it is. It's a. It's a ring of beyond friendship. It means more. Not to me. Where's the diamond? Where's the rock? Oh. Women chiming in. Elizabeth said, it's gaudy and asking to get robbed. Ridiculously ugly ring. I think it's ugly too. But I think all big jewelry is. I'm not much. Renaldo's not walking around by himself.

[Brady Bogan]

You can't. There's only so many settings that you could put.

[John Holmberg]

Blob is the one she chose. Like LL Cool J's four finger ring maybe right about it. Yeah. And you're right. Ronaldo's got security. So when they're out and about, she's not. Look, she's not running off to the Circle K real quick to grab milk. No. So if that ring is going to be pretty much only for the house and their. Their vacations to Ibiza. John, have you ever seen any of Ronaldo's commercials? His underwear commercials are a little weird. He's. He's strange. But dude, when he did that theragun and he started to hit his leg with it, and I looked at it, I'm like, wow. And then I realized I was half heart. I'm like, jesus Christ, what did I just watch? Perfectly shaped thigh muscle. Now, I'm telling you, if I was a woman and you handed me a 50 carat ring, I'm not gonna sit back and say, I don't want this. But, lady, it's a mixed message because if Ronaldo had given her a string and said, this is a shoelace from my first soccer shoe, there'd be an awe. But if she's walking around with a shoelace tied to her finger. After a while, people are like, well, that's Ronaldo. He should have bought her something huge. Like, it's all about what you buy, the fact. And that's why we should. I never said this in my life, so bear with me. We should all be more like Toledo. I know, I know. Hold on, hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. But he's smart. He and that Lisa, they've been together for years. No rings, no wedding. Why? Embarrassment. You don't want that. We tease him non stop. She walks in that dainty little finger, and still it doesn't even cover up the bone. It's hilarious. I like when I see fat fingered ladies with rings that are smaller than their fingers. The skin is just screaming off the circulation. Like they've been putting on water weight since the day of the. Since the first bite of wedding cake. And then their fingers got fat and that thing is just dug in. They get to cut it off with, you know, landscape equipment. To get the ring off, you got to cut her finger off. That's what I like to see. But yeah, we should all think about that. Think about how wrong we've been. We should all be more like to leave. And that's something you don't hear me say too often at all. Try it. If you're about to get engaged, try it. Take something that means something to you, make a gesture and put it on her finger. And then my first wife, when I, when I proposed to her, I went and got a temporary ring because I was like, I'm going to do this, like, spontaneously real quick. And I just told her, I'm like, this is it. She looked at it and she took it off, gave it back to me and said it was awesome. That was amazing. Now I need you to propose again with the real ring, though. Oh. And I'm like, what? I should have stopped right there. Yeah. And she said, yeah, this was, this is. If this is not the permanent one, this, then we have to do this again. This is cute. And all she was doing was putting pressure on me to ask her to marry her and ask her. Put the heat on, Put the heat on, put the heat on. I finally did it. It. And she goes, I just want this to be. If this isn't the ring, then, then it's. Then what we needed.

[Brady Bogan]

Fake proposal.

[John Holmberg]

She needed a story. And the story was great, except for she couldn't show people that ring because it was just a temporary. It wasn't an engagement ring. It was just a temporary like, symbol. And I'll have you know the ring.

[Brady Bogan]

I purchased at Mo Money Pond from.

[John Holmberg]

My first wife was incredible. It was, actually. You did get a great. And Mo Money Pond's the place to go. I mean, it may be a little bit of a black cloud over those rings.

[Brady Bogan]

Tell that story when you give it to her.

[John Holmberg]

Did you tell her where it came from? Oh, it did not. Is she finding out today or. She knew eventually.

[Brady Bogan]

No, no, she knew eventually and she was okay with it.

[John Holmberg]

It was a dead marriages ring. Yes. And you. And you brought it back to. Like Brady's doctors are trying to do. You brought it back to life and you told the ring low sodium. And it went, that's nothing to do with why my last marriage ended. And then it was the exact same problem.

[Brady Bogan]

But they did tell me what the ring would have been at a new jeweler.

[John Holmberg]

How much? More than I could afford. Okay, see, that's smart. Yeah. Mo Money Pond will take care of you. You're not getting one of them. Well, you might get a Renault. Oh, they make brand new rings? No, they do. They have a jewelry design. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You can place it. Amazing. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Either way, you can design a Ronaldo ring there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

The other thing is, you know, when you. After you buy the ring thing, it's just valued material.

[John Holmberg]

Doesn't matter.

[Brady Bogan]

The jeweler makes incredible design.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. How much gold's in it? Yeah, two carrots about it.

[Brady Bogan]

There's nothing you're gonna get.

[John Holmberg]

Nothing to do with what they do to it. Yeah, I have that one friend of mine whose wife got his grandmother's wedding ring, and her friends started to talk about redesigning it, and it got in her head, and she just boiled that thing down to nothing and made a new ring out of it. And it. He infuriated. Hated him. It should. And it should. It was. It was a. It was a family heirloom, and she added, like, sapphires and moved stuff and put a new diamond in, and he's like, that's not what I gave you. Yeah, but it's. This is more modern. Yeah. That's the whole point of giving you my grandma's ring. Didn't care. Matthiah wanted my grandmother's ring. That's what she wears. See, that's hers. She loves it. Is she Italian, too? No, she loves it because that's what you told her. That's right. God damn right. That's a good. I've seen the one black eye that she's got now from the dog.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, that's right.

[John Holmberg]

I Did see the pictures from the dirt? It was from Morocco. Yes, Morocco. Brett's wife has a black eye and went out of their way to go on Facebook and Instagram to say, damn right.

[Brady Bogan]

The same eye that was blackened nine months ago.

[John Holmberg]

Is that right? Dog's got it.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

The dog should have got the other eye. Give her a matching set. Dog leads with the right. It was a different dog. It was the other Doberman. Those dogs hate her.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm good.

[John Holmberg]

I got smashed in the head by Jack Ham once. My dog. Yeah. And it blackened my eye. But not as often as happening at your house. And clumsy. What do you want me to do? And I didn't run off immediately and sort it out through social media. Well, you should have to cover the tracks. It doesn't look good. I gotta explain it. Sure. You can't just tell people, right? Yeah. Right away. But.

[Brady Bogan]

She'S smart.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's right. This guy Lee says, the more you talk about stories about your ex wife, the more I want to see her. She must have been pretty hot to get away with being such a miserable. Yeah, that. That. That night in the. That was a tough one. That was one where I think I rolled over and said, and you don't really want to do that on proposal night.

[Brady Bogan]

Not good communication.

[John Holmberg]

You really just want to be in the throes of passion and have candles instantly light themselves. And all you hear is string quartets and stuff. You thought this would be a good moment. And I did. I rolled over and went, what a bitch. That was a big move for me. She was screaming at me, you got to get married because of 9 11. She had mental problems from 9 11. She was like, I just need stability in my life. And all of a sudden I'm like, I get it. I know I've been kind of. But I need you to be in a good mental state. And you're currently having night terrors. So let's get you in the right spot before I say lock it down. And she goes, that would help me so much. It would help me so much. All right. Right. So I think we're gonna get me. So I did it. And my friend Mark's like, dude, everybody feels that way before. He's just got to do it, get out of the way. I'm like, you know what? You're right in playing house. You might as well. And then, of course, I go through the whole thing. I think I said something amazing, too. I'm pretty good with words. Laying in bed. I woke her. I don't want this to go another minute. This is something you've wanted. Something I definitely want. Plopped it on her, she's crying, lights come on. And she goes, is this the ring? I know it's temporary. I got it this afternoon. Okay. And I want you to take it right off and hand it back to me. Oh, like what? And she goes, do it again with the real ring. And I remember just like from my toes to my eyelashes. I think I may have lit on fire. I think I may have actually been burning. Should have married stubbings. I should have married stabbings. That would have been amazing. Still together, by the way.

[Brady Bogan]

You just lied to me about how important important this is.

[John Holmberg]

What do you mean? Oh, her. Oh, absolutely.

[Brady Bogan]

Let's get together.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it was such. It was. And that was the thing. But here's the problem. She was on. On some sort of weird mental drugs from 911 to not have emotions, which was the one thing I was like, well, we're not getting married till you're off of those because. And rightfully so. 911 did a number on her. Haven't been at the buildings and stuff. So she was taken balancing push. She had no emotions at all. It was a nice moment. And she's like this, no, thank you.

[Brady Bogan]

She knows the crowd that she's running with. She can't put that on her face.

[John Holmberg]

Well, at the time she was running with my crowd. Now maybe cigar ban you gave, right? It was beautiful. Actually it was a nice little. But it was only like a hundred and oh, it was a thousand dollars. If I remember. It was 950something and went over a thousand like, ah, it's a temp. I hadn't had time, but I wanted to expedite the process. No, this is a big deal.

[Brady Bogan]

Two before. Well, I had it be so easy just to say, I don't know. Why can't you accept this?

[John Holmberg]

Just take this one as a. As a beautiful gesture. It wasn't about that. But I was dumb. Yeah, chicks are always asking. So let's see the ring. What do you get You. Let's see the rock. I like that they call it the rock. They make it cute. And we. And it's our fault. It's not ladies fault. It's our fault for falling for that for years on it.

[Brady Bogan]

Then they come home, just saw Danica's ring.

[John Holmberg]

They see somebody else's ring.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh yeah, look at theirs.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Sharpies. That's the key. See them broads at Postinos showing their rings off and stuff. The ones with big rings love to wave their hands around. Ronaldo's wife's gonna kill someone. She's gonna be waving that thing around and knock a kid's head off with that. That's gigantic. It's like a. It's like an infant's head. It's. It's huge.

[Brady Bogan]

Then the additional band.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, then you gotta buy a second one. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

You're up on that, aren't you?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we had to put another band. Don't do that. But it's just a gold band, so it didn't. Wasn't crazy. Megan didn't want that. No. She got the first one and get the second one. She goes, it's all clunky. Look how big it looks on my finger. And I'm like, yeah, no, we don't need this one. I'm like, okay.

[Brady Bogan]

Lucky.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Rings are dumb. I think they look funny. I'm not a big fan of clunky jewelry anyway, but, yeah, Ronaldo kind of wrecked it for a lot of dudes on his soccer team. It's all your peer group. But now it's like, now the girls who are with Renault, I don't know who's, like, the third best player? Who's the. Who's the Scotty Pippen and Dennis Rodman of where Ronaldo plays. Whoever.

[Brady Bogan]

That guy you got Messi.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, but he's a big one. I'm just saying, like, who's the second or third one on his team?

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And then that guy's got a girlfriend, and she's looking like, oh, I should have boned Ronaldo. That's a good shirt. I should have boned Ronaldo. All women should have. One of those. Guys could wear that, too. Yeah, every guy should have. Women should have that in their T shirt drawer. I should have. That's a great shirt to get your wife for when she quits. And wear sweatpants. And that same shirt every day with no bra just says, I should have. I should have boned Ronaldo. Because that's what they're really thinking. God, if I was a woman and they got the gray sweats on. If I was a woman, there would be no way you two had a shot at all. I don't know what in the world ladies are thinking going, I'm gonna give Brady a chance. Or Brett or John. That's just dumb. Easy. Do nothing, wife. That's what you need to become. Why did you fight this? Ladies, we. What were you thinking? I want to work and add stress to my life. No woman of mine's Gonna work. You'll see. Why did you fight that? We as men were screaming that for centuries. No woman of mine will work ever.

[Brady Bogan]

I want to provide for you.

[John Holmberg]

I want to give you everything I've got. You're not getting it. You're not working. I need to. Idiots. No woman of mine's gonna work. We said it with pride. Other guys looked at you like crazy when your wife had a job because you weren't enough of a man to give.

[Brady Bogan]

You're driven.

[John Holmberg]

And I gotta work. I gotta have an identity. What the hell's wrong with you people? That's bananas. Bananas. I wish women would scream that. You imagine if you went home today and she said, that's it.

[Brady Bogan]

Service and my request.

[John Holmberg]

Right? That's it. And then they. Was that all I am to you? God damn it, yes. Let me just answer that. For all men. Yes, it is all you are to me. The. Could you imagine going home today and Ronnie just says it, you know, and then thinking about it. I want to. I want to provide every ounce of this for you. And you're not going to work another day in your life. I'd be crying for 20 hours, man. And then you'd call me. You'd call me and I'd start crying.

[Brady Bogan]

It happened.

[John Holmberg]

We'd get on a group chat, we'd all start crying. And then we look and go, brady doesn't have to work. Like, we would fight the other way. Women fought to all go to work. What?

[Brady Bogan]

She loves me.

[John Holmberg]

He cares about me. This means something to a man. Lord Cleaver was such a lucky guy. Lord had it made. Oh, man. She didn't fight. Nope. He wasn't talking to the other hens in the neighborhood. Dinner ready, Dressed to the nines, jacket and slippers. Crap on the floor. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Darren Bewitched.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, they didn't even get married. Did. Oh, they were after a while. That's right. Holmberg's morning sickness, the one that I never understood was the I Dream of genie. I know Larry Hagman fought Marion, that thing. I'm like, what in the world? This is. Is. What in the world are you doing?

[Brady Bogan]

He was pushing it on, playing hard to get.

[John Holmberg]

Didn't start dating her till season six. What? Nelson and Healy would go out cruising for chicks when he had that genie at home.

[Brady Bogan]

That genie's cuckoo, man.

[John Holmberg]

She's nuts, man. So what this one says, I only asked my wife to marry me once, and she said she wasn't ready. So I told her, after that, I'm not going to ask you again. If you want to marry you, you have to it. I'm not going to do this twice. We've married for 13 years, and I hate that bitch more now than ever. Rocco gave Brett's girl a black eye. What Brett didn't tell you is Rocco is what he calls his left hand. Ms. Luigi and Rocco. Which one do you want tonight? And get your Facebook post ready because it's going to leave a mark.

[Brady Bogan]

The letters are on each knuckle.

[John Holmberg]

This one. Dude, this is probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. So if I get emotional, bear with me. Thank God my grandma died. It's the only way I could afford a ring. Oh. Yep. Wow. Should be so lucky to have a dead relative.

[Brady Bogan]

My brother's got the grandma ring.

[John Holmberg]

This one says, turn the radio on and start driving to work. And all I hear is Homeburg talking about how he's in love with Ronaldo. You spelled it wrong. Wrong? You're so gay, you'd have sex with Ronaldo. Still spelled it wrong. No, that's gay. I bet you shave every hair on your body. Not really an option. Kind of. Your God did that. And when you're watching porn, you probably slip over to the bisexual stuff. You guys rock. Thank you, bipolar listener. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Brady. No friend of mine's gonna work. You're gonna live with me. I'm gonna pay for everything in your life. Then I'm gonna do it because you're not gonna have to work ever.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, there's a catch to this.

[John Holmberg]

No, there's no catch. I just want you to be happy. And every once in a while, if you want to keep up with the house, that's great. You do some stuff around the house.

[Brady Bogan]

My honor.

[John Holmberg]

No, I don't like this at all. You got a job. No guy screamed that, you better get a job. Now we do. I don't understand that. I don't understand the 70s at all. Women should have fought. Women should be marching to go back. Like, Trump's right. Make America great. And women should be all over the make America great again thing. He wants to take it back to it. Black people shouldn't be. Because there's never really been a good time for you to go back to. Like, black people should be like, no, it's going the right direction now. I'm not sure I want to go back in time. Women should be like, yeah, make America great again. What were we thinking? Tony Soprano had it figured out. It looked like a pretty good lifestyle. Yeah, I think. And normally house Was always clean. That's true. You say that about a lot of stuff, but I think you're right on this one. Tony soprano was right. He seemed pretty okay, although he had a lot of anxiety. He did. But, you know, I mean, she's still going to give you guff, but there's.

[Brady Bogan]

Some headaches with work, you know. But that's standard then.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it happens, you know? Yeah. No woman of mine's going to the adventures, ladies. Switch it back. You know what you are? You're right. It's time we gave you all the power. Start screaming out, no man of mine's going to work and start providing for us. I think that's good. You said you heard that on Dave Ramsey yesterday. Some guy's wife has a inheritance coming her direction and he called Dave Ramsey, like, I don't know what to do. She's keeping it. And she. Like the law says it's all her. She's not going to share it with me.

[Brady Bogan]

He. He suggested that they together have a credit card debt. 25,000. And she's inheriting 75 or 50. And says, why don't we just pay off the credit r the debt and do that? And she's like, what? Why would you ask me that? That is my money.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's. You got to walk on that one. Yeah, Cordell and Cordell. Yeah, you got a lot. And you know what Cordell and Cordell will tell you? She gets to keep that. That's fine. That's unsplittable. She's gonna keep it anyway. But the hell with it. I'm out. And you get to be happy and.

[Brady Bogan]

Get your other half.

[John Holmberg]

No, she's still get half your crap. But she gets to keep her worth it. Good. I think maybe worth it. I think you might be right. Take the L. It's a winning.

[Brady Bogan]

You're right on that.

[John Holmberg]

It'll be the best money you've ever spent. Billy Thrall, who gave. He was the. The guy who did my first wedding. The. I don't. What do you call him?

[Brady Bogan]

Minister.

[John Holmberg]

The minister, yeah. He did the first wedding. And he goes, yeah, it sounds awful, but your first wedding was so beautiful. It really was pretty. It's expensive too. Bill.

[Brady Bogan]

That was a fun weekend.

[John Holmberg]

It was a fun weekend. It was a nice time. It was pricey. And then, you know, she cut her dad a check for that too. Before I was on. Before I knew I was getting a divorce. She paid her dad back with my money for the wedding. Wedding. I canceled that check, though. I made everybody really Mad because that prick who raised that bitch, when she said, I think I'm gonna leave. And he goes, I just spent a ton of money on that wedding. She goes, okay. And cut him a check for half and was gonna pay him back later. Luckily, her brother has some sense and he called me. Goes, I didn't like that at all. She wrote him a check right in front of us. I'm like, oh, I'll just stop payment on that. I didn't know. Thanks for letting me know that I'm getting divorced, though. That's nice. I guess I'll find out when she comes back. Did you write your dad a check? Oh, my God. Like I was the problem. Stupid 9, 11. Those terrorists, they had her right in her crosshairs, and they missed her. How do you miss her with two planes? She was 6ft tall at first that she should have been right on the nose of that. That American one. Two planes, all the buildings, and she calls me at five. I mean, come on. I was happy that day, but in.

[Brady Bogan]

Hindsight, you should be upset at American Express, too.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that guy that was late for the meeting, that made it so she wasn't up on the 83rd floor at the time. Son of a bitch. It all worked against me, Brady. I'm so mad at Al Qaeda for all the wrong reasons. Right in the crosshairs. How do you miss that? There she. I mean, how did they miss that? Boom, there she was. No. And of course, tons of stuff. Thanks a lot, Bin Laden. I got a bone to pick with you, Bin Laden. No, I know. I know about the buildings and this. No, no, there's nothing to do with that. How'd you miss her? What are you talking about? X was in there. Oh, I'm so sorry. No, that's the worst thing I've ever done. I apologize. I'd love to have a sit down with him and that number two that looked like Rosie o'. Donnell. You two morons. What a couple of failures. What are you saying? The buildings, they come down with success? Yeah, success. Let me show you success. She lives in Texas now. Oh, we missed one. Yeah, you missed one. Can we replace a few of those firefighters with her? I've been plenty fine with it. Brett, what do you got on the big board of Musical treats this morning? Wake up.

[Brady Bogan]

Stop.

[John Holmberg]

And didn't you hear the doctor that told Brady diet has nothing to do with your body's health. What's wrong with you? It's. I'm with him on this. And. And it's Dr. Miller, not Dr. Patel. So. I mean, come on, you gotta put something into that. You got a white woman as a doctor and the only thing you took out was like, you're gonna be fine. I. Your kidneys were bad anyway.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

The loner. Is that a loaner car? Okay. Because that might be the ugliest color I've ever seen on a car. You've been on a loaner more than you've been in your car. What's going on?

[Brady Bogan]

Ac.

[John Holmberg]

Your AC went out.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You. You literally have the sky blue one that Chevy Chase wanted originally in vacation. Remember the one he bought with sky blue and then. Then they brought him a green one because his wasn't ready.

[Brady Bogan]

It's always good when you're at your car. And it's been across the board, 100 women. I love the color of that car.

[John Holmberg]

Of that blue car.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. It's a chick's car. You popping out of that thing goes with the outback. Yeah, it's very outbackish. I mean, it's a nice car. It's just not the color I. As a man. Some testosterone in my body would have picked. But it's a loner. There's nothing you can do. They just kind of throw one to you like. Great. I had to drive a one of those Dodge Caravan that was that color for a little while. I'd have walked. I almost left. I mean. And that was. That's what. They didn't live in Gilbert. What are you doing? That's the day I learned a Dodge Caravans have powerful engines. I can spin the damn tires. That's fine. Lying. The day I learned never tell a guy at a loaner rental spot. Whatever you got, just throw me something. It's only a couple of days because they'll give you the worst thing in the world. And he did. It was the. It was horrible. But I did also notice through that time that MILF's like a dude in a sky blue Dodge Caravan because they assume you've got like. They already got kids, though. What are you doing with that? She liked it. Yeah. Well, yeah. I didn't want. I didn't want anything to do with that. They're expired, but. Yeah. Wrecked again. I go right back to it. If Ronaldo liked my sky blue Voyager, I'D been in here. Soccer boy.

[Brady Bogan]

Allproche.com Brady report it good Wednesday morning to you Phoenix. Hello world.

[John Holmberg]

Hi.

[Brady Bogan]

Happy Left Handers Day.

[John Holmberg]

Happy Brady Day.

[Brady Bogan]

It is. Because the other one is National Filet Mignon Day.

[John Holmberg]

Christ, man, you gotta change your mindset. I got Dr. Emailed in and said I would love the name of the doctor that told Brady that his diet and his kidneys are not correlated in any way at all. It's Dr. Bogan. Dr. Bogan is who it is. Yeah, the doc. No doctor told him that.

[Brady Bogan]

One of the best.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. No doctor has ever told you your diet. What are you worried about that for? Your kidneys were bad to start with. Load them up, man.

[Brady Bogan]

Push them.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's what. Yeah, I'm sure they said see what they've got. Red line.

[Brady Bogan]

It's like a way to get better. Trying to work out.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I think the I saw on Brady's medical report said redline. That mother is what the doctor wrote down. I think your doctor hates you. Eat whatever you want, man. He's the dude.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. Hey man, you just eat wherever you want.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know why everybody's up your ass, man. You still got one third of a good kidney.

[Brady Bogan]

Got a couple of basis fun facts. The fear of long words is called bradyitis. Here I go. I'm gonna give it a warning.

[John Holmberg]

All right. Let's have it. It's a long word.

[Brady Bogan]

Hippo Potomac equipped a dallophobia. I'll buy it.

[John Holmberg]

All right. Yeah. I did it on purpose.

[Brady Bogan]

The expression my Bad became popular. Do you know why?

[John Holmberg]

Because former NBA had to be NBA minute bull because he couldn't speak English very well.

[Brady Bogan]

Didn't get the grasp of it immediately. And so when he'd say it was my fault, it was my bad.

[John Holmberg]

Right.

[Brady Bogan]

That's how it caught on.

[John Holmberg]

And now it's like normal and it's it. You sound so stupid when I still say it. I thought it was my bad.

[Brady Bogan]

I thought it would almost be older than that.

[John Holmberg]

But I guess it's broken English. I knew it was the NBA because they're the ones who they abuse my bad. The other one that they do a lot that I think is hilarious. And the NBA had to start this one too. And I think it was Elliot Socks Perry of the Suns that started this. This. But the phrase most definitely. Most. Oh, most definitely. Most definitely. All the definitely that there is most of that. We used to every interview like had a nice night tonight. Elliot, tell us about that. Where you see in the floor really clear, you got 12 assists. Most definitely. Everybody I would see Most definitely. I would see them. And most definitely I get the ball to them and you know, I come up a half court. Most definitely. Like all right. Now it's just an accident. Now it's like a head up. And then it started like everybody just said most definitely. He was 100% indefinitely. Right. Which is the definition of definitely. Like it's defined definite on a pie chart. Not all of that, but a lot of that. So most definitely. Some in some unsuredness. Most definitely. Same thing.

[Brady Bogan]

Sliced bread is less than 100 years old. It was sold for the first time 97 years ago in Chillicothe, Missouri.

[John Holmberg]

All right.

[Brady Bogan]

The eastern half of the US has been having the muggiest summer since 1981. A lot of mugging stretches that stretches from Mississippi Valley to the east Coast.

[John Holmberg]

Most definitely, most definitely. Almost all the definitely.

[Brady Bogan]

22 entire states plus Washington D.C. my bad. Have set at least 44 year highs. Dew point temperatures are a measure of how much moisture there is in the air. If soared like to sauna like temperatures.

[John Holmberg]

Sure, whatever.

[Brady Bogan]

So someone said this summer, the last time it's been that way since 1981.

[John Holmberg]

What's going on?

[Brady Bogan]

Then someone put a little list together that that wasn't around things that weren't around in 1981. Cabbage Patch Kids CD players runs candy.

[John Holmberg]

Cabbage Patch Kids had to be close though. Like the idea of Cabbage Patch Kids. Yeah, it was like 82.

[Brady Bogan]

81. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You're saying 81. Somebody had made one. They just hadn't been given to us yet?

[Brady Bogan]

Diet Coke.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that came out in like 82.

[Brady Bogan]

Rollerblade inline skates, Ciabatta bread.

[John Holmberg]

You're telling me this. This has something to do with sauna, like, global temperature?

[Brady Bogan]

Last time this we've had this, it topped was 1981.

[John Holmberg]

And they're not blaming Cabbage patch Kids and inline skates. Even though I look at inline skates and I think it raised the temperature in the homosexual community enough to make the temperatures different for us, too. I saw a guy rollerblading on McDow the other day. Man, that's still hilarious. Like, you cannot. You can't look good. He was going down there.

[Brady Bogan]

He pad it up.

[John Holmberg]

I had knee. The knee. Of course he had knee pads on because he was going to his boyfriend's house. That's. I just assumed he was going over to the Papago to get blown by a priest and then reciprocate. But yeah, he was hitting the top of McDow right here. Here. Sailing down the hill. And I'm just like, man, that'll never look good ever. And they had the helmet and a tank top. It had to be 110. Now that I think about it, it was the middle of the day.

[Brady Bogan]

You don't want to hit the pavement.

[John Holmberg]

In your tank top, you know? You know what? I'd rather hit the pavement and meet a nice new firefighter than ever roller skate in line even. Could you imagine if you saw a guy just roller skating somewhere right now? Like, Brett would lose his mind. Brett would have to pull over. If you saw a man roller skating anywhere for, like, transportation, not at a rink. Oh, not like, you know, not like he's listening to Silk Sonic in the background and, like, having a moment. He's going somewhere. And he chose skates as his best option. Inline skates. Worse. Because he's exercising for all the anal sex he's going to have this weekend.

[Brady Bogan]

A new study at UC Riverside in California found gossiping with your significant other can improve your relationship. Couples that gossip, gossip together, tend to be happier and have better relationships. Overall, it took 76 couples. They wore a special device, agreed to have conversations recorded throughout the day. About 14% of them did. The entire day was taped. Researchers found that we spend an average of 38 minutes a day gossiping, and 29 of those minutes are spent gossiping with our significant other.

[John Holmberg]

Huh. Scott Haynes brings up a thing said. I think the NBA also is trying to change the whole me I thing. I have noticed that as well. NBA players are always trying to, like, give credit to other teammates and they don't know how to do the end it with, you know, Rich and I. They say I and Rich or they say Brett, I and Rich. No. And it's been. I've noticed it a lot in post game NBA interviews. Probably NFL will start. But if they do that too, we'll give them credit for my bad, which is hilarious most definitely. And having no idea how to use the me I thing. Might as well put them on rollerblades.

[Brady Bogan]

Not sure if you saw this. The New York Republican from Suffolk County, Ed Romaine, was speaking about celebrating America's 250th anniversary next year. He says, it's going to be a gang bang like you've never seen. We're going to send off the Rockets. We're going to send off the Rockets. We're going to enjoy our independence. Thank you. And he had to come back.

[John Holmberg]

He probably meant gangbusters.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, he's saying I have no idea what gang bang.

[John Holmberg]

The proper answers go. I said, what did I say? Gang bang. Oh, my God. I meant gangbusters. I'm an idiot. Holmberg's morning sickness. But to act like you're oblivious to it and then say, but I'm still in charge of stuff. Yeah. There was a. They showed a clip of the D.C. police chief yesterday. And the simple question to the D.C. police chief, it was a woman. And she's. Her eyebrows are already like, what's going on? Like National Guards helping us out. But. And then the lady said. So the reporter said, what is the chain of command then? And she goes, what's that? And then someone just goes, move. And started to talk for out of the way. How can you still be in charge of something if the words chain of command and you're on top of it and you don't understand it. What's that mean? It was a great answer, though, because she was like. It was so innocent. I don't know what your chain of command. That's the first I'm hearing that phrase.

[Brady Bogan]

60 old man wound up in the hospital after seeking dietary advice from Chat GPT and accidentally poisoning himself.

[John Holmberg]

I need to step out of the room.

[Brady Bogan]

According to the reports.

[John Holmberg]

Here we go.

[Brady Bogan]

Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the man wanted to eliminate salt from his diet.

[John Holmberg]

Is this what's happening right now? Now?

[Brady Bogan]

And he asked Chat GPT for a replacement. The artificial intelligence platform recommended sodium bromide chemical often used in pesticides as a substitute.

[John Holmberg]

Even I can't get behind you on this one, Brady. This is definitely an attempt to try to indoctrinate yourself into your own beliefs.

[Brady Bogan]

Then the man purchased the sodium bromide online, replaced it with salt for three months, and it eventually went to the hospital fairing his neighbor was trying to poison him. There. The doctor discovered he was suffering from bromide toxicity.

[John Holmberg]

Wait, the doctor said what you eat sometimes can hurt you. What a terrible doctor that bromide Toxic partner. Yeah. That shook his head.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, but the salt wouldn't.

[John Holmberg]

The salt part of the salt brought up sodium bromines. Brady, you tell him. Anytime you tell a guy try to cut out salt, look what happens to him.

[Brady Bogan]

Brady, look it.

[John Holmberg]

You've got a news story. What happened? The guy said I gotta cut out salt. He's dead. Now. Keep eating the salt bogan, you'll be fine. In fact, when I was taking my last few breaths, halfway under that bed, crawling for the last try to get help, I thought to myself that jagged about showing what's good.

[Brady Bogan]

Bromide toxicity was more common in the 20th century when bromide salts were used in various over the counter medicines. Cases declined sharply after the FDA phased out bromide between 1975 and 1989.

[John Holmberg]

Don't use that story as an example of why you can't cut out salt. You're eliminating it. And you're starting tomorrow with Brett at Viet Shack. The worst place for you ever.

[Brady Bogan]

This guy in Forest, Oregon.

[John Holmberg]

Close.

[Brady Bogan]

Is facing serious charges after his homemade grenade. He lost an arm. There's some guys are carjacking and he tried to detour the carjackers with his homemade grenade. It went off a little earlier.

[John Holmberg]

Or detour.

[Brady Bogan]

Deterred.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Okay. Deterred.

[Brady Bogan]

Deterred them.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Because you detour them with a grenade, there's gonna make a left or right. You deter them, it stops them.

[Brady Bogan]

Got a United States Postal Service letter carrier. Guilty?

[John Holmberg]

Most definitely. Most definitely. My bad. Most definitely.

[Brady Bogan]

Marianne Mag Damitt.

[John Holmberg]

I like her.

[Brady Bogan]

31 years old. She was stealing credit cards from the. Being delivered to people in the mail.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady Bogan]

And she ended up cashing in pretty darn good. Went on multiple luxurious trips, bought the Tesla cyber truck. She got in trouble when she was posting a picture of her with stacks.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I can't do that. If you're stealing, you can't. You can't stack up. Oh yeah, she's in her Yankees.

[Brady Bogan]

Check out the stack you did.

[John Holmberg]

All right. That's a big win.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. She's posing with a pile of money that's the size of her.

[Brady Bogan]

In our apartment they found 133 credit and debit cards, 16 U.S. treasury checks, 18 stolen gift cards getting it done. She's looking at 30 years. Go Yanks.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she's got her Yankees hat on. Most Yankee fans are criminals, though, let's be honest.

[Brady Bogan]

This dude, Kip Polston, from Iowa, was pulled over in Nebraska this past Sunday for not working. For not having working lights on the flatbed trailer. He was hauling two motorcycles. One was reported stolen. Another one was registered to someone else. He also has a suspended license. And one more thing. The police approached Kip, who's totally naked with a pair of pants draped over his crotch. When he was asked why he's naked, he stated it was so hot, that he was allergic to his own sweat.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no.

[Brady Bogan]

He also admitted that I. I got a pipe in a. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Crystal meth. Was.

[Brady Bogan]

And a dab. Yeah, man, you can call out these yeah, well scenarios in a second.

[John Holmberg]

Scratching your head with no pants on. I assume one thing and one thing only. There is a punch pipe in you or near you.

[Brady Bogan]

Here's a picture. Kip.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Yeah. I could have looked at this werewolf and thought, yeah, that guy's definitely on the meth. Just a picture alone. It looks like if. If Titus was Teen Wolf 3. It's a bad look. Most nude drivers. The cops don't really sit. And they don't even need the police dog. They've got enough suspicion to believe. I'm going to take a look around for your pipe, and they're going to find it.

[Brady Bogan]

Some great food news. KFC is bringing back their potato wedges after five years. You're not allowed to have one available August 18th.

[John Holmberg]

I know what you just did. That's before the surgery. So I can do whatever I want.

[Brady Bogan]

Game on.

[John Holmberg]

No, it is not.

[Brady Bogan]

And the last one is definitely game on. John. Olive Garden. I don't know if you knew this off. You can buy the soups by the gallon now.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, because that's what you want is a gallon of anything to eat. That's what I'm saying. Game off. Drink a gallon of soup, Brady, he gets your chicken. No, I said you can't. I know. He took that as a challenge.

[Brady Bogan]

Pasta, fagioli, toscana.

[John Holmberg]

You're not allowed to have those, either.

[Brady Bogan]

Olive oil. It comes out to $2.50 a bowl.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, you get. He's just trucking right through. He doesn't hear it. I feel bad for his medical professionals because they're earning their money. They really are. They just stop caring. Eat whatever.

[Brady Bogan]

We're paying them good money. Is your goal to become a case study?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. To see if you can do this.

[Brady Bogan]

I would like to be a case study if I could.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know how you actually uttered the phrase to me. Everything's fine.

[Brady Bogan]

And was getting mad about it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, when the good kidney still there. Humming along at like 3%. That's 3% more than zero.

[Brady Bogan]

That's working. I've got two quick bread reviews.

[John Holmberg]

You're not allowed to have Olive Garden soups anymore either. He's right.

[Brady Bogan]

I just ordered a gallon.

[John Holmberg]

Soups in general are super duper salty. Yeah, you're done with that. Too bad. This lifestyle change you gotta make. Stabbing him right in the heart good. It's the only thing that barely works. You're a think of Kirby every time you take a bite of salt. And that's one less day with daddy.

[Brady Bogan]

It's a good way to look at it.

[John Holmberg]

It is a good way to look at it. You stupid son of a bitch. This is your first day. You've thought of that? I should probably think about her like I got nothing to live for. You have that kid did like you should want to see your future. How am I helping here?

[Brady Bogan]

She's done pretty good.

[John Holmberg]

She's all right. Check out then. Who cares? My bad.

[Brady Bogan]

She's had a good life.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. It's time for her to go.

[Brady Bogan]

First one is a. A dude with a cobra under his shirt.

[John Holmberg]

Smart guy. It's India, right?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

That's the only place this. Is he on meth or is he just scared of the cobra?

[Brady Bogan]

He's trying to calm the whole time.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he was sleeping. Oh, God. So he. But he was asleep and a cobra crawled up in his shirt?

[Brady Bogan]

I guess so.

[John Holmberg]

Does it bite him? Does it get him? That's Indian for my bad.

[Brady Bogan]

It's most definitely gonna kill.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, my God. I would be the same as this guy, though. Oh, they got him. Run away.

[Brady Bogan]

Look at that thing.

[John Holmberg]

That's what happens when you sleep on the floor in India.

[Brady Bogan]

What happens when you sleep in India.

[John Holmberg]

That's true. That's true. You're gonna. A cobra in your shirt is a parting gift.

[Brady Bogan]

And there's the Brady playing with it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Brady with a stick.

[Brady Bogan]

Look, look, look.

[John Holmberg]

How high is sodium is a cobra? Poor little guy.

[Brady Bogan]

This next one's a quick one.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady Bogan]

Removing a lady from the sporting event.

[John Holmberg]

It's like Shaquille o' Neal is the cop.

[Brady Bogan]

It does.

[John Holmberg]

They're pulling us a white lady out of this sporting event.

[Brady Bogan]

Brady in front Possibly.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. They're Officer Brady, Officer o'. Neill. They pick her up and walking around. Oh, she just smacked oh, she smacked the cop. And the cop smacks back. He knocked her out. Awesome.

[Brady Bogan]

I think there's a little sound.

[John Holmberg]

There's a sound effect in there, but, my God. She takes a swing and hits the cop in the back of the head. And he turns and goes. That's enough of that. And he floors her. Oh, my God. Vicious right hook to the lady's face. What country is this? This looks like a soccer match.

[Brady Bogan]

It's a University of Miami.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, listen, that is. Oh, she deserves. She's. She's from Miami. She's used to being hit by guys that. Yeah, she's. She's been in Miami long enough. She's been punched by a Cuban man.

[Brady Bogan]

And bam.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he took none of that. He hit him in the back of the head.

[Brady Bogan]

Was it like the computer?

[John Holmberg]

Wow.

[Brady Bogan]

Microsoft sound like computer turning off.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that was pretty awesome.

[Brady Bogan]

Powered down.

[John Holmberg]

Brady said, is it. Actually, this guy emails. He said, is it okay to get Brady to gargle with some warm salt water if he doesn't swallow it? Because his voice is driving me nuts. Yeah, you're losing your voice. Brady's getting. Getting hoarse. That's what happens right before you go start shutting her down. Can't have salt. Can't have sugar. Maybe it's lack of salt. It's just the. That's what he's going to say next. I told you, it's depression. It's gonna set in. The man's gonna just stand there and stare at the Morton Salt lady and jerk off at the store. I miss you. That's right. Right. Salt is your ex wife. That's it. Salt is now. She stole from you. She treated you poorly. She's no good for you. In the future, quit thinking about her. That's how you have to see that Morton lady. That cute little girl with her umbrella on her. No, she's a murderer. Brett. What do you got? All right, let's go back to India or somewhere over there. Okay. All right. Notice that. Get that sound going. There's no sound for this. There's a lady twirling in a very ugly dress, and it does India. Oh, she's belly dancing. I guess that's totally missed. Oh, my God. I did. Did a guy just get killed in the back? There's a man just behind the curtain. There's a curtain that opens up, and then a dude shows up, wanders in, and throws an axe into the head of one of the people watching the belly dancing. And then he walks away. Never mind. Behind guy. Behind guy. No, no, just ignore It. That's the worst ending to the wizard of Oz ever. Jeez. Well, the security of those tents. This guy's leg is falling off.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, yeah, Try walking.

[John Holmberg]

It has literally fallen off from. It's a boy. It's just a kid. His leg is just. I don't want to look at that. And somebody's, like, mopping it up or something. What is that? Like they're whipping it.

[Brady Bogan]

Whipping him.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. All right, let's just. How videos are these? I don't know.

[Brady Bogan]

Let's jump into this one.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's another mutilated genital. Oh, good Lord. What is this? He's stapling his penis cuts back together. Oh, my God. Yeah, they're stapling. Oh, he's got a scalpel. Real close to the balls, too. I don't think these are official medical people. Oh, she's stapling up his foreskin to something.

[Brady Bogan]

Did they cut his bag off?

[John Holmberg]

His bags got stitches all the way down this. Stop doing that. Oh, man. This can't be how it works. Enjoy your next vacation. He's more salt in this diet. Yeah, that's what happens. Need too much salt. You've only got half a kidney. Good Christ, man. What was the backstory on that? I don't know. Holy cow. All right, now that one's dumb. All right. I got standards. Here's a. I think it's a relatively good looking girl that's going to end up having a penis. Her boobs are too baseball shaped. There's definitely a dick on there. Yeah, there it is. That's it. I'm learning, I'm learning, I'm learning. I'd have been fooled for a minute, but those boobs were way too round. All right. Speaking of Ronaldo, I think we got a video of his lady. Okay.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, no.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, this is Ronaldo's. She's giving birth to a soccer ball. Her butt. This lady is. Oh, went back in. She's trying to push a toy soccer ball. A child's. Oh, God. Oh, she's got a green one coming out now. She's like. Like a clown with her handkerchiefs. Here comes the Grim. She's pretty, too. That's weird that her dad would have done this kind of number on her. And it comes. The green one's a little tougher to pop out. There we go. Wow. How do you know you can do that? And he sent this. They sent this one over for your night at the Swizz years ago. Oh, no. When those two dudes were fingering each other. Oh, God. It's a girl with her hand in the back of the pants of another girl at like, a bakery or something.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And she is going to town on her bottom from behind. Oh. Something just stripped out. Oh, the pants are shooting water out. She's like a hole in her pants. Oh, man. What is this? She's filled up with some sort of pee and liquid, and they're peeing all over the floor there. And she won't stop.

[Brady Bogan]

How do you not notice that?

[John Holmberg]

You gotta come here. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

That they don't. They don't look on in shame. In other.

[John Holmberg]

How much is in her. It's pretty sure she gets it all. Yeah. She is working that father and the dude behind the counter is not even noticing that the little Asian girl. Oh, and then she makes her smell her fingers right there at the bakery. Oh, my God. Oh, that's all I got today. That's plenty. Geez Louise. That's ridiculous. This is so bad that she's just spraying bodily fluids all over the bakery floor. It's the smelling of the fingers. Ugh, yuck. I've gotten a lot of people who say things about the inline skates. We call them fruit boots up here in Northern California. It is. It's very appropriate. Fruit boots is good. Inline skating. Nobody you've ever met. It's like, that dude is awesome. Hey, man, what's going on? On. Let's strip on the skates and take a. Let's go over to the circle gate again. No, we're just walk. We're just gonna walk. It take forever. Put your wheels on. No. Hopkins. Yeah. If Doug hops like, hey, John, you want to meet me over at the Moose? Yeah, Cool. Let's skate over, like, what did you just say? We're gonna skate there. We're not skating there. Sam's getting to put Sam in my backpack and we're gonna skate over to the Moose like Yoda. Yeah. Just riding along on Hopkins. Anyway. There you go. I would. That I would. If Doug Hopkins wants to go inline skating to the Moose, I'll go. That would be hilarious. Because people would be like, isn't that TV's Doug Hopkins inline skating? I'll do it. Yeah. Any guys out there right now are like, it's awesome. It's great exercise. You're right. But it's also the gayest thing of all time. Time. They've never invented a gayer thing to do with your feet. 93. 3, the home of inline skating. There's your Brady Report. It's 98 Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. Still streaming morning sickness [e-mail] let's not forget Pantera looms. It could happen any moment now. And you got to get on that. Be ready for the Pantera sounder and get yourself all loaded up on that phone. [phone]. You call that number and you get yourself a chance to be part of Pantera security. Coming up here for their concert, walking from their room to the stage. Get, like, better than front row. You'll be in the photography pit. Hell of a prize we're giving away in Pantera. We thank you. Oh, you get your flash, you get security junk. Get a flashlight that you got to use to walk him up on stage. That's a memory forever stuff nobody else gets. Can't buy that. I mean, you could buy a flashlight and put Pantera security on side of it, but still, you'll know the difference. A lot of weird stuff goes on at people's workplaces, and it's, you know, we're. We're pretty hard on Brady right now because somebody has to be. He's not doing it to himself. But if he doesn't want to live, that's fine. All these people emailing love you, you're looking loved, and you're just thumbing your nose at all this love. But we do have to say, when somebody's really good at something, they deserve an award. And in this building right now, there's a lot of emails going around congratulating Karen over there at KSLX for being nominated for Marconi Award in radio. It means nothing to anyone outside of radio. And also, it's fraudulent because you nominate yourself. So. But besides from that, nobody's really honoring you. You. You. You've you basically audition, and then you kiss the right ass, and it's good. Good for her. That's great. But what really needs to be acknowledged is when somebody does something great and the world notices, and then you have to praise that person. And I'm going to do that right now. This is not any. There was zero solicitation. There was not a package that put together that said, please nominate me for being awesome. I find that to be fairly repulsive, but people do it. I think even Fitz is thinking about doing that later. He's putting a package together to get nominated for being great. But if nobody notices that you're great, you can't be the one to tell people about it. I always look at it like J. Lo's ass. We'll tell you when your ass is great. Stop going on Instagram and pointing to it. But there is something happening in this room right here that we need to say congratulations. And I know, Brett, you don't want credit for this, and I, and I know this is sort of of embarrassing. And that's just because you're humble in your own weird way. But our own Brett Vesley should get praise because last night on the news, I saw that Arizona is having a huge spike in unidentified bodies. There's 200 of them. We have not figured out unidentified bodies. And I didn't know this also right here. And that's just getting it done, man. Of the 15,460 open cases in the United States of unidentified bodies, 2,132 of them are Arizona. Brett Vesl, everybody. That's fake news. I am, I am so impressed. And you didn't realize, look, Brett, you didn't send me these numbers for me to look over and compare to other mobsters that kill quietly and leave. Leave no fingerprints or trace, can't even identify the bodies. You didn't do that.

[Brady Bogan]

And I know you're like, Yeah, I know. 2001.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I know. Yeah. Of the 15, 4 60. Well, now here's the thing. We do know that 2132 of the 15,000 are unidentified are in Arizona. So that's been done. But the fact that of 15,000 bodies in the country that they can't figure out, that type of percentage is right here in Brett Fesley's backyard is just mind blowing. Excellent job. Excellent. Thing is, I didn't nominate myself either. No. And that's the thing. You, You're. I will say this with the utmost honesty. Brett did not come to me. Can we talk about my numbers? No, we didn't. There wasn't a moment where Brett came to me and said, hey, I really need people to know about this. It just didn't happen that way. It didn't at all. That we have in the whole nation. There's 50 states divide. I don't even know what that number would be. 50 into 15,000. I don't even know how that works. It's 15. Who's second?

[Brady Bogan]

Texas? California.

[John Holmberg]

50 equals. There's. That's 300 per state. If you average it out to all 50. And California has 34 million people in it. Brett's still Brett's people. Top of the screw California. I agree with that completely. It's their population politics. But I will say that is something that needs acknowledging and we should send it out like we do. All these false awards that are being given to people for Radio Personality of the Year. If you have to ask, you're not the Radio Personality of the Year. I would never once submit this show for consideration to any of that stuff. It's all a scam, but good. If it means something to you, go crazy. What you really want is acknowledgement from your peers and acknowledgment from people unsolicited. And I'm giving it to you. Is there a company email going out later? Yeah, I'm putting it out later. I'm putting it out later because I'm proud of you. Thanks, buddy. I mean, this is. I didn't do anything. No, I don't know what you're talking about. And you did so much. And that's the. That's the beauty of it all. We have a ridiculous problem in this state of unidentified bodies. No one, when the news brings this up, no offense, no one in all this reporting. And we've got the Cronkite building downtown. It's the number one broadcast. Like it's the place to go. It's the Harvard of broadcast journalism. And not once in the story did they say, you don't suppose it's because we were the home of witness relocation for a while? No one breaches it. No one ever says that. No one asks that question. And why? Because you'll kill them. And that. That's exactly why they get away with it. Wit Location showed up here 40 years ago in the 80s and 90s. It was gangbusters. When the whole Gotti thing was going nuts and they had to get rid of a ton of people, they came here and it's no coincidence that in that time. Unidentified bodies. We lead the league by, like. We are the Ichiro of base hits when it comes to dead bodies. We're the Ohtani. We're the. We're awesome right now.

[Brady Bogan]

Now that's why you have that hand clicker in your car.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, no. We got. We got the west side. It seems like it because he clicks it a lot, but no, it's amazing. It's the west side. Just shoots and identifies. That's Lucia stole my money. You guys are getting it done. That's horrifying. 2,000 of 15,000 thousand unidentified bodies. Open cases, Arizona. That's. Think about that. Think about our water donations this year. It's incredible. Everything is different with you.

[Brady Bogan]

Pay it off.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I don't mean that. I'm just saying everything's different with you. It's Outstanding. And I'm proud of you for it. And I just wanted. It needed to be. It needed to be looked at because. Damn it, man. Man. Nobody else is getting this done. And you can have your silly awards. You know, I learned that when the New Times names you, like personality of the year, you're like, oh, that's nice, because it seems unsolicited. But then afterwards, it's just. They're testing to see if you'll buy the plaque, and when you don't buy the plaque, you don't win it again. And then later, I bought a bunch of plaques, and I won twice. And I, like. I see. What's this? It's a plaque company's game. I see what's going on here. Tripp's got a whole wall of your plaques. I know. I bought 10 of them. And then next year, I was nominated again. I'm like, I see what I. You guys didn't even know who I was. And that's the same magazine that named Ian Campfield morning show of the year, and he didn't even have one. Was he doing middays, though? He was doing middays. We. We asked our listeners to do it, and they did, and for the whole.

[Brady Bogan]

Reason, because that's what I was.

[John Holmberg]

Because it showed it. But there are. You know, there are. There are people sending out their work to. And it's. You know, call it what it is, and. And they'll say that I'm bitter, but it's because I never nominate myself for things. I think that's weird. But you guys go ahead and have that. It's very strange. But congrat, man. Dude, seriously. Do you have anything to say? No. Marconi award, but do you want to. Do you want a.

[Brady Bogan]

Coming your way?

[John Holmberg]

How humble he is, though. He doesn't even want to talk. You doing nothing.

[Brady Bogan]

Will you put the plaque up when we get.

[John Holmberg]

If we get you a plaque, would you? Yeah, I would. Hang that up. Just the numbers? Just the numbers. It's like 20, 25, 15,000 unsolved cold cases where bodies have not been identified. Arizona number one. It said number one. Arizona 2132. Still don't know who they. That's. I don't even know what that. Percent. I got to do the math on that, too. Beautiful thing. What is the percentage? I don't even know how to do that. How do you find that out?

[Brady Bogan]

Like, percentage out of the 15,000.

[John Holmberg]

Divide 15,000 into that. No, wait, the other way.

[Brady Bogan]

7%, maybe.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. 21, 32. Divided by 15,000 equals 14%.

[Brady Bogan]

14%.

[John Holmberg]

14,000. 14% of the cold case. Yeah. You got to do it like you're tipping. Yeah. 14,000 or 14% of the 15,000 Arizona's on. Congratulations, my man. People want to blame the cartel. I know who to play. Don't let the big ragu get all the fame on this one. You were the one saying over and over that people could go ahead and hand Bretton envelope full of cash. You had hand in this too, so you should take a bat. You know what? Thank you for my acknowledgement. My meager. I was basically holding the microphone for the. For the Maestro. I was the stick in the Maestro's conductor's hands. It's. This is Brett's work. Brett's work, people. No one, and I mean no one will utter the phrase. We all know really why this happened. Right. I don't know what talking about you. Of course you don't. But come on. And it's not just unsolved, it's unidentified. We haven't even gotten into what you guys have done. That hasn't been solved yet. Where we have identified the bodies. These are bodies that don't have identities. They've stripped them of their humanity and left them for dead and found them. And still there's no away. You've changed DNA. And it's amazing. And the word allegedly is involved in all of it. And that's where you guys get away with. We have an email that came out from our owners. Careful with that word. Allegedly. Yeah. You didn't see that? No, I missed that one. Cuz some station we've got in another city got in trouble for mouthing off about somebody and saying allegedly over and over. It was a big deal. It was like that girl that she was in a court case where everybody said that she. She had been. I don't know if she was saying that she had slept with somebody's dad or some of that college girl and they outed her name. And none of it actually happened because.

[Brady Bogan]

McAfee got in trouble.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, McAfee got in trouble, too. And I think that's what our. Our stations guys were doing is basically saying what McAfee said. And then they'd fire off allegedly and they made a couple jokes and then allegedly. And that didn't. That didn't fly. And then everybody was going to sue everybody. So we got an email saying knock it off. A few. The allegedly. But when it comes to. Right. Well, if you look, we're not giving out names and I'm not sitting back going, we've got a problem with the witness relocation. I'm saying you guys are killing it. And I mean that in a metaphoric and real way. I'd like to hand this macaroni award to Brett because that's what this is. It's the. They can have the Marconis. It's the macaroni or awards we need to give away. We need to have the. I'm gonna go over to that. That place on Maryland or wherever. 12th street in Maryland. The Italian Center. Yeah. And I'm gonna have. We're gonna give away the macaroni awards for the witness relocation guys of the year. The you guys of the year. And they'd be like, hey, I'd like to bring up Jonathan Smith. Oh, that's me. Oh, hey, I couldn't possibly. I don't want it. No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want the wood.

[Brady Bogan]

Is your Columbus statue.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they get a little statue of Columbus just. Just giving you like an A. Okay. And he's got his horn on. And then at the end for, you know, like man of the year, you get the golden. Stupid golden Italian horn chain. Oh, this is beautiful. Of course, I don't know what you're talking about, but this is a lovely award. It's. It's pretty impressive. I'll take the macaroni award over the macaroni. The Marconi award is. Look, nobody's ever heard of it except for rad people. And then everybody does. Oh, there's emails everywhere here. Karen's been nominated. And here's what I don't like about it. Nominated alongside of Karen over there. She's a very pleasant lady. Is Dave Smiley, who I've hated for 25 years. Plus, he's just one of the worst human beings I've ever met in my life.

[Brady Bogan]

He knows how to put the package together.

[John Holmberg]

And so he's nominated for that. And I'm like, I wouldn't want to win that award if he's nominated for it. The people doing the nomination have something wrong with him. I do not know how I have won this award. I'm like, oh, just hit him. Hit him. Best. My best moment in life was getting to Dave Smiley. Was at my friend's. Was a one year anniversary of his passing. My friend Kevin and Dave and Kevin knew each other and he came to my house and I'm like, I'll be nice to him and stuff. You probably want to hit me. Do you have a. Do you have a feeling you would like to hit Me. And for some reason he took his shirt off because he's not funny and he was around real funny people and he didn't know what to do. So he started to vaudeville it up a little bit. Took his shirt off. And I'm like, I'd love to hit you. Said, I'm not going to. If, if, if I get to hit you, you can hit me. And I'm like, take your best shot. And we stood in my backyard, and I remember Kevin's sister Aaron going, this is not good, Dave. Because I think he thought I was playful and. And he gave me a little smack on the face and I. I laid him down. It was pretty much, oh, I didn't knock him out. I hit him real good. Open hand. I gave. I did not know we were really hitting each other hard. Like, well, you should have thought of that when you were making the rules, dumbass. So he's nominated for it. I'm like, oh, my God. It's the old Groucho Marx line paraphrasing. Because I don't remember it exactly. It was like, I would never want to be a member of someplace that would accept me as a member. So congratulations for the Macaroni Award. That's a real thing, bro. That's a real thing, my friend. And I'm proud in Arizona. Yeah, everybody's off on that DNA thing. Good part of the system. Don't be part of system. Do you realize how many witness relocation people around here love when you say that? Get your DNA, get your fingerprints, do something today. And speaking of, did you see? AI is now going to. They have the technology now to identify you by retinal scan at 15 to 50ft. Wow. Yeah, it's. It's minority report. So soon? And this is just me being Alex Jones. The scam of the entire deal will be, let's get your kids retinas scanned in case they end up lost or something. We can find them easier. They'll play it off as safety, but what they're really doing is databasing your ass. And it'll end up being your phones as well. Your phone will be able to read your eyeballs. It's even better than facial recognition at your eyeballs. And that goes into a speed system. And then Brett's people will have an even harder time. But think about all the technology that goes on in this. Still have 2,000 unidentified bodies. You're Mark Macaroni Award recipient this year. Mr. Brett Fesley, everyone. And we talked about HOAS earlier this morning, and a guy said hey, I'm the president of an hoa. And he said. And we had to take one of your employees and talk to him about it. I don't know if that's come up at work, and it hasn't, but evidently, Susan had to take down her Iron Cross flag. HOA made her drop. That a lot going on in this building right now.

[Brady Bogan]

That's a shame.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You mean I can't fly my flag? I have bought several of these flags. I'm giving them away to the top salesperson for the Slump Bastards. Anyway, congratulations to everybody nominated for your fake awards and Brett for this year's first annual Macaroni. Oh, my God. Look what you've done Award. Great job, buddy. Thanks. I mean, I don't know what you're talking about. That's. Of course. Of course. I don't know what you're talking about. I accept this word on behalf of my wife and my gama, my dogs. My wife, who couldn't make it tonight because she got a black eye from her dogs, of course. Dog's got a hot head. She's, you know, bending over. What are you gonna do? I told her, I said, there's only one reason to bend over in this house. Otherwise, you can have. With a black guy, you're bending over. If you're bent over and I'm not there, you better have a black eye. I said black guy, not black guy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Noah's not coming over. Exactly.

[Brady Bogan]

Anyway, they're going to celebrate this weekend on Lake Pleasant. On the Stugach.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. We'll be up in the Stugach, passing the award around. My day with the Macaroni. I saw that last night in the news, and I thought that's. That's definitely. It's definitely Brett. Nothing to do with it. Anyway, congratulations to everybody nominated for something, especially if you signed up for the nomination. That's just weird to me. Pantera looms, everybody. Keep your ears open. It's got to happen in the next hour. Pay attention. It could be you. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect.

[Brady Bogan]

98.

[John Holmberg]

Still streaming home. Morning sickness [e-mail] we got our winner. What is the name of the winner? Oh, boy. I can't believe this. David Vasquez, one of the most horrific human beings on the planet, who emails us on a regular basis, has snuck through and gotten to be the 10th caller. And that's scary. Now, again, the one rule in this contest is you need to be sober to participate with Pantera. Is he capable? He said he is. That's one thing I got from him. All right. But I'll be there with the breathalyzer, so it doesn't matter. I mean, if he's not. Yeah, we're gonna breathalyze. We're gonna make sure that's legit thing. You're gonna. Yeah, because you're gonna. They want us to, like, turn your ass around.

[Brady Bogan]

You're gonna blow Brett. I mean.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. Yeah, blow into Brett. He'll tell you whether or not it was good enough. Look, you get a little toothy. You're not walking Pantera anyway, so congratulations, Vasquez. Man, oh, man. Jesus Christ. I get nervous about him every single time you start laughing and print out an email. I'm like, oh, God, what did Vosquez say? Getting emails again. Brady. Everyone loves Brady. Everyone's trying to help Brady, and he just won't help himself. Except for Doug Fairchild, who just emailed us his fifth piece of bacon this morning. Those days are over, my friend. Your bacon's gone. Says, have you guys all been tested for kidney comparability for Brady? At some point, he's going to need one. He's not taking care of this the right way. And I would like to donate Toledo's whether it's a match or not. Not, hopefully. And that will help Brady sign Paula, the Toledo hater.

[Brady Bogan]

Nice.

[John Holmberg]

I, however, would not want that. I don't want you to have Toledo's kidney in there. It's just. You're going through enough. You don't need to. You know, there's no way that that thing's going to bring life to you. It's the opposite.

[Brady Bogan]

I start, I'll. I'll end up starting, like, woodwork.

[John Holmberg]

No, you won't. He says his woodwork has never once seen any woodwork done. And, yeah, you just. You're just going to end up being. It's going to. To. It's the dull organ, and it gets a dull person putting a dull organ. And you're just going to. You'll be like, you know, at the end of Cuckoo's Nest when they lobotom. It's the closest thing to a lobotomy you can get is having kidney from Toledo put inside you.

[Brady Bogan]

Head to Thailand.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Want start to travel to Thailand, take dialysis? Screw that. Go to Thailand. No way. Viet Shack will be too spicy anyway. And now. Now Jimmy Bongiovi, the other enabler, along with you. I'll keep an eye on Brady tomorrow. Like you guys aren't Going to do any. Don't take him there. Why take him there? We have an arrangement with Tom. It's ridiculous. Yeah, you know, that's another thing. Bacon is out. Your future with bacon. Don't you curse at him like that. I'm just saying. Have you thought about that?

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And you didn't think about that? You haven't thought about that for a second.

[Brady Bogan]

I think about how good it's gonna taste.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I just keep talking, keep talking. Every time you do that, a tear runs down your daughter's face. That daddy doesn't care about it at all. Hey, man, how come you're not. How come you're not trying, man? Back off. I already got a wife, Kirby. Either way. Yeah, bacon's out. That's got to be a of part. Punch the bacon thing is, cuz you can't just take a nibble of bacon. That's crack. Telling you, just a little bacon is like taking a crackhead to show them where they filmed the wire. Just a bad idea. Yeah, it's out. I didn't think of that one. Yees. All right with that?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You're okay with no more bacon for the rest of your life?

[Brady Bogan]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Well, no, you can't. You're not one of those guys that can just nibble on bacon. That's not a good thing.

[Brady Bogan]

I can nibble them.

[John Holmberg]

No, you can't. Yeah, for hours and hours and hours, but just like take a bite and put it down and never have any more. That's out.

[Brady Bogan]

I got this, bro.

[John Holmberg]

No, you don't. You don't. You really don't. You've got. You've got it for sure as a diagnosis. Will you help me with this a little bit, Brett? I'm keeping an eye on him. I'm doing my part. I don't see you doing anything. Yeah, I'm doing everything. You should be there. Or anything. What, knocking food out of his mouth? Yes. All right. People care, that's all. I would love to see you there. Who won last week? You did, right? All right, go ahead. What do you got with the sousaphone? Oh, that's right.

[Brady Bogan]

With trivia.

[John Holmberg]

Forgot about that. You sousaphone? Yes. All right. What is your. Do you have a topic yet?

[Brady Bogan]

Chair.

[John Holmberg]

Why not? All right, go ahead. Let's do Brady's farewell song to his prior diet. Yeah, that's right.

[Brady Bogan]

I got this.

[John Holmberg]

I know you do. And we're banning any song called Bring it on or Give me more or I'm fat or Eat it or Doctors are Wrong or. Oh man, Winston said my. I'm kind of with Brady on this one. My dad passed away when I was 10, and I'm. I'm like my youngest. He'll be in 10 and two months. Months. And if the doctor said no more steak or bacon, my son's gonna lose his dad at 10 as well. Winston, you're fine. I'm not worried about the dying part. I'm worried about you dragging ass around here sick all the time. Go ahead and die, but don't suffer. You bring on your own suffering, and then it leads to heart problems. They get a stroke, half a kidney, knee. I gotta come over. And Ronnie's out on that, and I don't blame her. And the next thing you know, I'm there with a drool towel.

[Brady Bogan]

We got time.

[John Holmberg]

We don't. No, no, no, we don't. Look, your heart is like your heart just took a sigh. Don't say your heart's okay either. I saw your blood press yesterday. That's with pills. All right. Somebody's got to be. I liked how he changed it because it was one point difference. Now it's better. 140 over 85. Oh, wait, sorry. 140 over 80.

[Brady Bogan]

84.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, stage two hypertension on pills. That's good. You don't know what you're talking about. Okay. He text. Is that bragging?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. 140 over 85. Excuse me. 84. Boys just dipped another point.

[Brady Bogan]

Smooth sailing.

[John Holmberg]

No, it isn't. And dipped another rib into sauce too. Smooth sailing, said everybody on the SS Arizona. All right, Brett's the song for Brady's former diet is the goodbye to what he used to consider normal. Yes. Or the hello to keeping it alive. It's 9:23. If you got any suggestions, Holmberg, at 98kupd.com you can text 97936. We'll find out what Rock War selections we have next. Holmberg's morning sickness. Holberg's morning Sickness. Morning sickness. It's time for this week's battle of musical supremacy known only as Rock Wars. And it's brought to you by our friends over at Mo Money Pawn. I learned that this morning that Mo Money Pawn will build you a ring. If you're looking for jewelry. I didn't know they had that going on. Shorter long term collateral loans from $10 to over 100,000American dollars. No credit needed and top dollar paid. With the entire process just taking several minutes.mo money pawn.com. the topic is Brady having to have some tough love. Say goodbye to bacon. Say goodbye to salt. Say goodbye to proteins. Even though what he heard was his doctor saying, look, your kidneys were bad. Anyway, have at it, son. Which no doctor would ever say. So we have to be the monitors. Even though Brett's a terrible person, I'm monitoring it. That's why I'm tomorrow. So is Jimmy Bon Jovi. I know you're both dicks. Listen to. Com. You got two Italians taking you out for lunch. You know. You know how that always ends. We take you to lunch in the middle of the week. Huh? We're planning out with Ton. Whatever you will say. Jimmy. Jimmy, you need to use my freezer. Go ahead. Might need to use your restaurant for a little bit time. Yeah. I had a guy who said, I work for a guy. I'm not going to say, but it starts with an M and ends in Arcianos. He said it in the back. There's always a dude with slick, greased hair, smoking, who works here. Never does anything because. Does Brett know him? I'm like, he's working. From what I understand, he's got something going on. He's. He's a backdoor expert. He's a backdoor man. He's a union delegate. That's right. That's right. They're so important to the back of restaurants. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Who would you like to go first? Brady was. It's his topic. He was right on it right away. So let's see where this goes. He's. He's indignant. He's put up a. He's put up a force field thinking that he's gonna. We're just our tough. Love is love first, Brady. But go ahead.

[Brady Bogan]

Appreciate that.

[John Holmberg]

Lie to yourself.

[Brady Bogan]

It's really simple. The song that I picked.

[John Holmberg]

I bet.

[Brady Bogan]

Go ahead and talk Alito. You've been ripped. Never gonna give you up.

[John Holmberg]

Being let down. The bacon industry would be let down. It's like when my friend Kevin Manion died. I'm pretty sure Coors Light saw it in the stocks. Like, I'm pretty sure, like, what happened in the West. We're not selling any Coors Light. That's right. Okay. In moderation. No. Oh, is that what he said now? Earlier this morning, he said that. He said everything was just fine. Suddenly it's in moderation, which means. She said, you can't have it.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, it doesn't.

[John Holmberg]

So dumb. It's just stupidity.

[Brady Bogan]

Moderation is not zero.

[John Holmberg]

Moderation for you is cutting.

[Brady Bogan]

Never going to give you up.

[John Holmberg]

To a normal person. And a doctor's pattern would be. Look, you know you need to eat in moderation. You think moderation is cutting back what you eat? What moderation is, is cutting back what a normal person does to almost nothing. You can have some. I mean, very little.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, you got that right. That's right. Not giving it up.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. It's a cocaine addict. You got to quit full. You can't have any. No, I have a little bit alcohol. We worked with this guy before. I'm fine. I got no problems. Anyway, Me next. Yeah, go ahead. I don't know if you're gonna be able to beat that one. Look, it's so sad. I had so many options. Boys to men came to mind. It's so hard to say goodbye. But at a certain point, it's like we can say all we want and try to help our little friend who we care about dear deeply. And he can keep spitting in our faces. So you know what? To you, I give you this. Goodbye, Brady. Let's just start the farewell tour. Not wheeling you anywhere. When the inevitable stroke and heart explosion comes from you not listening. Your body's going to be under an incredible amount of stress. I'll get the hover around, okay? Yeah, I hope you can hover from six feet under a hell lot of heavy dirt. Cuz that's where you're going to be. We haven't played Europe for a while. The final countdown in moderation. Idiot. Go ahead, Brett. It's a sad day. Yeah, that Brady's got to give up the bacon and got to go. Just, you know, the salt and everything else. Good man. The four boys from Philly, home of the cheesesteak, said it the best. Yep. Boys to men. It's so hard to say goodbye. We were on the same page. Tong may be singing this to Brittany tomorrow too.

[Brady Bogan]

Like an angel.

[John Holmberg]

I want if when Brady dies in November, I want Tong to sing this. I miss you, Brady, for being a claw. We be crawling now close up. How come you're doing it to me, Brady? He's gonna be crying over the casket. Why are you doing it to him? I have wife and kid from Michigan anyway. All right.

[Brady Bogan]

Pulling out the soy sauce.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. He's tipping one. You're not allowed to have any of that either. Not even the green one, which is just low soda. He's gonna tell you. Yeah, I was just gonna say he's gonna call that one that's less than the red. So it's fine. Well, can we get a doctor who's like no idiot. Like your body is under an Incredible amount of stress. We have to treat it incredibly right to keep all the other organs happy. The kidney's redlining. Man, that one's going to be working overtime. A little soy sauce Can't. Can't kill a man, can it? Yes, the old sim can. Innocent. Can't have salt. Can't have sugar. Get in the box. Anyway. All right, you want to vote [e-mail] you can text 97936 and that still works the same way. Brady wars, right? Yep. So if you want to vote for Brady, Brady Wars, John Wars, Brett Wars 1T. Or you can call us 585-9800 for a final call. Will it be be so hard to say goodbye by boys to men. That's Brett. Will it be my final countdown? And won't be. Brady's never going to give you up. Salute to bacon. Even though he's. He's dropping dead in front of us.

[Brady Bogan]

In his shaky pizza.

[John Holmberg]

Exactly. Look, I mean, Superman, we're talking about a big 180 here. We're turning an oil tanker around on a dime. Yeah. And we got to turn the Titanic from the iceberg. And we've seen how that ended it. That's it. All right. It's a. It's a herculean effort, but we'll see who wins next. John Gordon, you're responsible for this as well. Just in case. Find out who wins rock wars after this morning morning sickness. Holg's morning sickness. All right. In the middle of rock horse here and, you know, trying to help our friend out whether he wants it or not. It's an intervention and he won't go to rehab. Brady's diet is going to have to be totally revamped. So in order to say goodbye to it, Brett chose so hard to say goodbye. I chose the final countdown. And of course, Brady, who's got the most gain and lose here, chose. Never going to give you up. As he stared through the window at bacon. I was also gonna pick. Somebody suggested it was very funny hello by Lionel Richie. But you have to remember the video. And instead of a little blind girl, it's just a cake inside. Hello. He'd be putting his hands all over the cake. Yeah, he's just making a Brady face out of cake. He's blind.

[Brady Bogan]

Honey baked ham.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he's turned his. He's. He's hand sculpting a honey baked ham into himself and then he can eat it or into a kidney and he's trying to replace it. I don't Swallow it. I might just find its way. Anyway, the votes are in and emails are everywhere. Paula is really campaigning heavily for Toledo to She's got a good thought. Scott Haynes actually had a good thought. We take Toledo's kidney out and we put it inside you and maybe no and then maybe Brady will get satisfaction from just watching people eat. You can start cucking the thing he loves the most. Food C. Yeah. This one says of course my vote goes. Vote goes to your song, John. If you haven't done this yet, make Britney's or Britney Brady's kidney a square. We'll call it Britney the kidney. We'll have a voice for that. Sure. We'll have the good one and the bad one. I vote for you, John. God damn it, Brady. Cutting sodium doesn't mean slicing it into smaller pieces. It means it's gone. The surgeon's fixing your kidney, not giving you a new life. Cheat code. Try dropping the salt. Make serious changes for we've had RSVP your funeral buffet. It's a good point, but Tong does serve a nice buffet so it's kind of a mixed bag there. Says I missed the announcement and just hear pieces now. What type of cancer is Brady have? Is the prognosis good? Well, it would be going to Utah Friday for my brother in law who just died of it. So I hope Brady does better than him. His nickname was bacon boy.

[Brady Bogan]

What a God.

[John Holmberg]

What all great choices, boys, but for the first time ever, I'm going with the Italian wap stallion. You nailed it. Nailing this million dollar bacon from the restaurant with every bite I take. I'm thinking about you, Brady. Considering this might be his last one. Let's just give Brady the win this week. That's true. Maybe we do that is it next week. Next week will be got next week. Next week and then that's it. Probably Brady's gonna cha ching Chavez people must be nice to be able to eat that double meat BLT jerk. This one says what are you eating there? There's a toss up between you and Brett, but I'm voting for the ginzo. Brady's arrogance is astounding. It's a good thing that he has his affairs in orders. Thank you, Trajan Wealth. Yeah, it's. That's true. He's living up to the endorsements. Craig. I don't know. Craig's saying something I've never read before. I've never liked Brady that much. But since it's close to the end, I now realize I will miss him. He gets my vote for the first time ever, because it's probably also the last time I'm going to vote for him. So go out like Johnny Sack, smoking when he had lung cancer. Brady, never give up. That was a moment in Breaking Bad as well, where Walter lights up a cigar and Hank goes, walt, what are you doing? Got stage four lung cancer. You think it's gonna get worse? Thank. All right, have at it. This one says, I vote for you, Holmberg. Awesome work. This one says, you do you, Brady, to be real, you've already done decades of irreversible damage to that body. So at this point, just pig out, grab the swine, and eat as much bacon as you can muster until you're comatose. It's a better way to live. There is that attitude, Brady. There's a line and never going to give you up that says, never going to say goodbye. But I got news for you. You keep this up, you're going to be saying goodbye a lot sooner than you think, because this indignant dumbass will simply not give up on malnutrition. Your song works perfectly, John. The final countdown. Goodbye, Brady. I love you. I just wish you to listen to us. Dibs on Ronnie. Yeah, there's a lot of that. A lot of that going on. What do you got over there on your Toledo?

[Brady Bogan]

Fresh here.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, by the way, Brady. Brady's got the emails. 10 to 6 over me and 5 over Brett. And he's crushing it on 10. All right. He's got that. Well, you know, people are feeling. It's an emotional vote right now. John Gordon, one through five, I'm assuming one through five. Number four. Number four is John Gordon. Come on over here, Johnny J. You get to choose. All this for not John. Go, Gordon. Make your choice, my friend. How are you feeling, by the way?

[Brady Bogan]

I'm feeling good.

[John Holmberg]

That chair fits. You think you do all right in there? I think you are about the same height, not the same type of. Put on about 220 and you're gonna make it. You're gonna. Yeah, it'll be like you're never gone. Same color goatee. I could chub up a bit. You could chub up a little. We could. We could thicken you up a little. But you can't. You talked where the mic was supposed to be. What'd he say?

[Brady Bogan]

I can write him a program.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm gonna follow that. Be able to read it, but you know he'll write it for you. Well, nobody picked the best keyboard song intro Separate Ways. What is that? Oh, Cuz it's got to go. You got to go. A separate way's got to go this way. But the best keyboard intro goes to the final countdown. Okay, that's it. That's not the topic. I don't know what he's talking about keyboard intros for, but okay. And I won, so it doesn't matter. Final countdown is great. I see what you're saying, John. It's a beautiful thing. And never going to give you ups in the middle. Hopefully we don't get Rick.

[Brady Bogan]

Appreciate that vote.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's good.

[Brady Bogan]

My last rock horse.

[John Holmberg]

Second to last. Second to last. I'll vote for you next week. I hope this plan in the. In the thing, the surgery.

[Brady Bogan]

I'll request it.

[John Holmberg]

You're gonna hear the doctor say he's more bacon and salt than man. Doctor. Doctors wear double gloves so you don't get high cholesterol cutting into Brady. And by the way, when you cut Brady, don't. Don't be surprised if a load of Filipinos stand outside the door because they're used to that smell getting cute open.

[Brady Bogan]

Here's the problem. Wasn't a tumor. It was a piece of bacon.

[John Holmberg]

It's just a giant softball wad. It's the final countdown for our little friend Brady. Better change or die for other reasons. Brett, I'm gonna have you handle. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect 90X. Still streaming Homberg's Morning Sickness online at 98kupd.com Europe. For Brady and his relationship with food, the final countdown. It has double meaning there too. See? You're gonna follow his doctor's advice on the food or not listen at all and do whatever he wants. Brought to you by Shaky's Pizza. I love that. That's a good one. This one says, hey, Brady, Karma's a. Just heard about your diagnosis. Thanks for being a complete dick to me. Signed, Fred Goldman. Oh, that's right. When he saw you at Nordstrom's. That's right. Fred's been paying attention, waiting for this day. Brady asked Fred Goldman where the gloves were. This guy said, damn it. That song actually made me tear up a little. Get it together, Brady. Brady. Signed Churchill. That's right. People are crying. You're making people cry. Tell him you love him, Brett. I love you, Brady. See?

[Brady Bogan]

Thank you.

[John Holmberg]

We all love you, Brady. Not everybody. Especially crazy. There's a few people that don't like him. That Craig guy said so. Viet Tong. Oh, my God. Anything you want on menu, Brady? Fruit. What? This Become a chief. This is a dilemma. It's time for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by [e-mail] the home of tactical black self defense training. And we got ourselves another day for me down there. I can't wait. Did the hostage training on Monday. Loved every second of that. Busting out of zip ties and fighting and having the time of my life. And then I felt it the next couple days. I was sore because a good work, it was hard work. It's a great workout. And also, you realize, man, I never knew I was capable of that before. I did ask Jay one thing though, and he laughed at me. I said, what if you get, like, knocked in the back of the head and somebody straps you up with barbed wire? Like, how do you break out of that? And he goes, you're gonna die. Don't get hit in the back of the head. Just start fighting. But I mean, come on, where are you? Come on, man. What have you done to get wrapped in Bart like you're an idiot? He's right. And there are answers to everything. You can get into some trouble. And that's the thing. You just got to figure out how to not be in trouble. We did a thing also where it was knife defense, where I wasn't allowed to fight back, to see how many times you get stabbed just by trying to block with your elbows. And then you realize, oh, all he's doing is stabbing me in the arms. Because my technique is good. But everybody goes crazy and chases knives and stuff like that. You try to grab a knife, it's everybody's reaction to bat the knife away. You get stuck like a thousand times. Amazing little tricks they teach you for situations that probably will never happen to you, but if they did, you'd be like, I got this. It's crazy. What's it what they know. And it's from experience, from headlines, from stories throughout the world, from military training, from all these guys that have had all these stories that say, what do you do if this happens? And they've got a system for it. You got to get up there and check it out. It's great for you. It's great for your wife. It's great for everybody you love and care about. College is back up. If you got somebody who's a year away, Brady, yours got to see senior in high school, and she's probably going to want to run off to college. And does she have any brains at all in social settings? Does she know what she's thinking? Does she know how to not be a target, you got to think about all these things and they'll teach you that. Become a sheepdog. Stop being a sheep. It's right there.

Kevin Hart is teaming up with Netflix for a new competition series to find the next big stand up comedian. And he'll be joined by a group of comics.

[John Holmberg]

It's called Kill Tony.

[Brady Bogan]

They'll announce it later this year. Who are the comics that are he's bringing on to help mentor?

[John Holmberg]

It's called Kill Tony. That's what's happening there. You take a bunch. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Week after week because Tony still has the same.

[John Holmberg]

Did a lot of the same guys but like Cam, he's killing. It came off of that just a minute of Kill Tony and to give you a chance like an open miker.

[Brady Bogan]

Got a celebrity death.

[John Holmberg]

Who is it?

[Brady Bogan]

Danielle Spencer.

[John Holmberg]

We talked about this yesterday after the show D from what's happening. Yeah, we didn't talk about it on the show. She died right after we got off.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. 60 years old.

[John Holmberg]

She had like a rough run at the end too.

[Brady Bogan]

Cancer, right?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, kidney cancer. She just. And then she just could not lay off the pork afterwards.

[Brady Bogan]

No, it said bacon. She died from bacon. She died eating bacon.

[John Holmberg]

You say that, that, that like it's not a thing. You say that like I just said unicorns are real.

[Brady Bogan]

Eddie Murphy talked about an intervention that happened. He put it together. He had Rick James head over to Todd Bridges apartment.

[John Holmberg]

Who was he?

[Brady Bogan]

Who's fixing sober right at the time? Well, kind of. And evidently Rick goes over the apartment and Todd tells him, you know, you, you need to cut down on this. He's like, let me. He noticed there's a stash of drugs.

[John Holmberg]

Over there that Todd had. Drugs?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. And he's like, that's a lot. So the intervention ended with Rick taking half the drugs. I'm out of here.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you. Well, that's kind of a lesson for you, Brady. Todd Bridges was trying to get sober but still had lightened his load on drugs.

[Brady Bogan]

And then Rick Knighton it up.

[John Holmberg]

He took half of it. But the intervention was to stop Rick and Todd wasn't fully sober. It's what I always say about like sex rehab. And they say that it's the only rehabilitation that they still allow you to do the thing that screws you up in moderation. They say it's like, no, this guy couldn't control himself. You got to cut it out completely.

[Brady Bogan]

Eddie Van Halen's 1982 Kramer electric guitars had the auction.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, boy.

[Brady Bogan]

What do you think? That'll fit.

[John Holmberg]

Fetch. What's it from? Is it the black and red one? Yeah, the OG million three go. 700,000.

[Brady Bogan]

They're expecting over two mil.

[John Holmberg]

He says two. John Gordon said two.

[Brady Bogan]

He saw a paper.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, I guess we can't. Guess he's just pissed he didn't get picked by, you know.

[Brady Bogan]

That's it.

[John Holmberg]

Probably true. All right. You're still holding papers up like you want to read, though.

[Brady Bogan]

There's nothing on there.

[John Holmberg]

Put them down. All right. There you go. More thinking about you. All the emails. Everybody's just his love. Just send all the cards and flowers to the late Brady bubble. You got leftover bacon. Tip it out onto the streets in honor of our homie. That's how that works. We're gonna stay on you. Still mad at you. You're not going to Viet Shack tomorrow, are you?

[Brady Bogan]

I thought I was, but are you going? Let's go.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not going. Be three of us keeping an eye on them. Too much salt.

[Brady Bogan]

Want to go to Honey Baked Ham today for lunch?

[John Holmberg]

No, I don't. They still have those?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, there's a couple of stores. Come on.

[John Holmberg]

What are you doubting, Larry?

[Brady Bogan]

Chills away from everybody. Easter.

[John Holmberg]

No, I know on Easter, but I'm not thinking about commercials on Easter.

[Brady Bogan]

Go right to the store and pick them up. There's one on power and.

[John Holmberg]

Calm down. Calm down. Power and where?

[Brady Bogan]

Power and in between. Baseline and superstition. Oh, jeez.

[John Holmberg]

Man. Those are off limits now. That's. That's off limits. Right by his house, too.

[Brady Bogan]

It's right by his house. There's also a barbecue joint over there.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, that Honey Baked Ham is. You're done with that?

[Brady Bogan]

Picking up a 12.

[John Holmberg]

Can we start there? Can we start there and just say no more. Honey Baked Ham. That's the saltiest thing in the world. That's it. All right. And we can't buy Pringles anymore either, boys. That's enough of that. Oh, yeah. I. I don't care if anyone dies.

[Brady Bogan]

About the Sun Chips. Are those.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. I just don't want them all over the studio. And can't control himself. So rooster tailing.

[Brady Bogan]

We need to go get, like, a.

[John Holmberg]

Cabinet with a lock on it. Put our stuff in there. Yes. Yep. And keep that head of lettuce and that cruddy apple out for him. And we have rot.

[Brady Bogan]

We have to make that cash register downstairs in the mercantile not recognize Brady.

[John Holmberg]

Absolutely. He's done. Sorry, Brady. Heads of lettuce. That's all you get from here on out. Save you from yourself. Larry is coming up next. He can eat whatever he wants. Larry needs to eat everything you're doing now. You need to. We need to. Freaky Friday. You and Larry's daughter diets. Whatever he's doing, like you just get PB and J and that's it. And he gets all the rest of it. And he's put some on him and takes some off you. It's going to work. Salt in the peanut butter, though. A little. It's. It's a start. Brett.

[Brady Bogan]

Keeping them off the protein sprites and cheese crisps.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, no, he doesn't do that all every day, though. Yeah, okay. Not every day. And he gives that food away. I've never seen him eat a bagel in my life. He comes in and hands it to everybody. Everyone. We call him the generous Jew around here. It's unbelievable. Never once seen him take a bagel into his own mouth. Maybe today's the day. See if you can get Larry to eat one on the air. That's it for us. We're all done. You guys have yourselves a grand Wednesday. We'll see you tomorrow in the morning. S. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said, fully erect.

[Brady Bogan]

88.

[John Holmberg]

Can you be?

[Brady Bogan]

Yes, Mr. Gecko, you're a huge inspiration to us all. But who was your muse? Oh, my dear old Nan.

[John Holmberg]

She imparted many wise words to me. She would say, never let the fame get to your head.

[Brady Bogan]

Always remember who you are and let.

[John Holmberg]

People get more than just savings. With Geico's fast and friendly claim support, I lived up to her advice, and.
