Let's not forget Pantera looms. It could happen any mom, and you gotta get on that. Be ready for the Pantera sounder and get yourself all loaded up on that phone, 585-9800. 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 flashlight. Oh, you get your flash, you get your security junk. Get a flashlight that you got to use to walk them 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 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 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 a 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 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 embarrassing, and that's just because you're humble in your own weird way. But our own Brett Vestley 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, Brady. 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. Congratulations. That's fake news. I am. I am so impressed. And you didn't realize, Brett, you didn't send me these numbers for me to look over and compare to other mobsters that kill quietly and leave no fingerprints or trace. Can't even identify the bodies. You didn't do that. And I know. You're like, Yeah, I know. 2001. It's. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Of the 15, four. 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. I don't know about that. Excellent work. The thing is, I didn't nominate myself either. No. And that's the thing. 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 1500. Who's second? Texas. California. 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. That's their politics. But I will say that is something that needs acknowledged acknowledging and our. 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 there. I would never once submit this show for consideration to any of that stuff. It's all a scam. But good. You know, if it means something to you, go crazy. What you really want is acknowledgment from your peers and acknowledgment from people unsolicited And I'm giving it to you. Is there a company email going out later today? Yeah, I mean, I'm putting it out later. I'm putting it out later because I'm proud of you. Thanks, buddy. I mean, this isn'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, Brett. No one. In all this reporting. 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. Witness relocation 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. We are the Ichiro of base hits. When it comes to dead bodies, we're the Ohtani. We're awesome right now. That's why you have that hand clicker in your car. No, no, no. We got. We got the west sides. 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 laquisha. Bitch stole my money. You guys are getting it done. That's horrifying. 2,000 of 15,000 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. Pay it off. 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, 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'm like, I see what's. This is a plaque company's game. I see what's going on here. Tripp's got a whole wall of your plaque. 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 the year, and he didn't even have one. Was he doing middays? He was doing middays. We. We asked our listeners to do it, and they did. And for the whole reason, that's what I was. 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 congratulations, man. Dude, seriously, do you have anything to say? It's no Marconi award, but do you want to? Do you want to. You got a plan? You got a plaque coming your way. Humble he is, though. He doesn't even want to talk. I ain't doing that. Will you put the plaque up when we get. If we get your plaque, would you? Yeah, I would. Hang that up. Morning sickness. 28 KUPD. Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with my friend Wayne from AMCO. Let's talk about back to school TLC for your car, Larry.

Holmberg's morning sickness. 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's a number one. Arizona 2,132. Still know who they. That's. I don't even know what that. Percent. I gotta 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? Like, percentage out of the 15,000. Divide 15,000 into that. No, it's the other way. 7% maybe. I don't know. 2132 divided by 15,000 equals 14%. 14%. 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 blame. 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 Brett an envelope full of cash. You had a hand in this, too, so you should take it back. 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 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 to talk 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 way 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. Oh, I missed that one. Because 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 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 McAfee got in trouble. MacAfee 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 at the allegedly. But when it comes to. Right. But 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 Awards we need to give. We need to have the. I'm going to go over to that. That place on Maryland or wherever. 12th street in Maryland. The Italian Center. Yeah. And I'm going to have. We're going to 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. I couldn't possibly. I don't want to know. I don't want. The award is your Columbus statue. They get a little statue of Columbus just giving you like an aok 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 pretty impressive. I'll take the Macaroni Award. The Macaroni. The Marconi Award is. Look, nobody's ever heard of it except for radio 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. He knows how to put the package together. 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 nominating have something wrong with them. 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 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. Cause I think he thought I was playful. And he gave me a little smack on the face and I laid him down. It was pretty. Oh, I didn't knock him out. I hit him real good. Open hand. I gave him a N. And I 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. And 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 though. That's a real thing, my friend. And I'm proud of you in Arizona. Yeah, everybody's off on that DNA thing. We'll get 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. Jesus. Wow. Yeah, 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 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 Besley, 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 one. A lot going on in this building right now. That's a shame. Yeah. Fuck 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. 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're gonna put a black eye. 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. Anyway, they're gonna celebrate this weekend on Lake Pleasant on the stugats. That's right. We'll be up in the Stugats 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 gott in the next hour. Pay attention. It could be you. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. Mr. Gecko, you're a huge inspiration to us all. But who was your muse? My dear old nan. She would tell me, always remember to be true to yourself and to use that fast and friendly claim support on the Geico app. I follow her advice to this day. Get more than just savings. Get more with Geico.
