[Dale]

Morning sickness.

[Brady]

You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil. Sitting right here.

[Dale]

Come on. No, no, he's not.

[Brady]

He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. Wow. Brett just hit me with some news. Dale won't care about this, but the guitar player from Mastodon just died in a motorcycle accident.

[John Holmberg]

They just got news for Brent Hines.

[Brady]

One of the co founders. Yeah, Larry's just finding out as we speak. About it. How about that?

[Dale]

Wow.

[Brady]

Dale, welcome. Welcome aboard. Yeah. Look at that. You sell your motorcycle. I say Brett immediately. No. God, it's crazy.

[Dale]

Do you wear a helmet, Brett?

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yes.

[Brady]

Have to wear a helmet.

[John Holmberg]

I got yelled at one time when I wasn't.

[Brady]

By John Who?

[Dale]

You out of here, you son of a bitch.

[Brady]

Right, I forgot about that. And then I got mad at you for the whole thing. Yeah, well, you're an idiot for not wearing a helmet. That's why I said that. Yeah, well, that's crazy. So, yeah, we'll. We'll keep our eyes open for that. That's not great news. But he's not part of the.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he just left in March or something.

[Dale]

So they'll have.

[John Holmberg]

They already had a replacement. But he's a co founder. He's been there since.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Dale]

Is Mastodon a pretty good.

[Brady]

Pretty good rock band?

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Pretty. There. You would hate them.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Yeah, you would hate them.

[Dale]

You put them on this station.

[Brady]

You would. Let me give you a little taste of Mastodon real quick. Here's what this is. This is Mastodon. So great band song called Show Yourself.

[Dale]

Yeah. If I listen to this every day, I would be a mass murderer.

[Brady]

This isn't even. This is. This is poppy.

[Dale]

Just a beat.

[John Holmberg]

If I listen to Luke Bryant every.

[Dale]

Damn like right now, I want to just punch Brady in the face. Well, yeah, but that's not gonna kill.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

You'll break every knuckle.

[Brady]

Yeah, that's. Show Yourself. That's a poppy song.

[Dale]

Yeah.

[Brady]

If I listen to Luke Bryan, I'd kill the guy I was having with too.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

It's road rage.

[Brady]

That's right, Dale. You heard me.

[Dale]

You are so.

[Brady]

I'd pull out and I'd kill him.

[John Holmberg]

He go and dry.

[Brady]

Yeah, I go and dry. I'd rather have a guy go in dry on me than listen to country music. What would you rather have? Just a gaggle of gay guys in the desert with sand all over their penises or listen to country music for the rest of your life? Bring on the Twinks. That's right. Give me that. Give me that.

[Dale]

Twink pyramid.

[Brady]

I'd dress up like a pharaoh. I'd be.

[Dale]

Wow.

[Brady]

Anything's better than country music. So how dare you disparage Mastodon? It's awesome. Dealers games at 4 o' clock today. Dale playing the Carolina Pants on Thursday. On a Thursday, a little Thursday night.

[Dale]

Aaron Rodgers taking what, 50, 60, snap.

[Brady]

Yeah, he's probably gonna go the full pull on today. I don't think he's playing. They're not playing Anybody. Which makes the pre. See, we talked about that in the podcast that Dale and I are trying to start, but is nowhere yet, but might be today. That sports thing we're talking about how bad preseason is, it's pointless. The practices are important. These games are just money grabs.

[Dale]

Well, understand the thing about preseason and. And I'm. It's always fascinating because the owners are giving up preseason games for regular season games.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Dale]

I kind of understand that. I've heard it. That each week of a regular season is almost a big billion dollars.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Dale]

But in preseason, they charge you regular season prices. They don't give you a discount on beer. You have to buy whatever and you have to buy them to get some tickets. And they only have to pay the players like 2500 bucks a week.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Dale]

Now, again, just for easy math, if you're making $17 million a year, that's a million dollars a week.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Dale]

Or $2,500 for a preseason.

[Brady]

Come on.

[Dale]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And it's crazy because they're like, the Steelers played the Buccaneers all week last week.

[Dale]

Right.

[Brady]

So they got real one on one starters on starters and practice. And then they played their meaningless preseason game. And I'm like, they don't need this. They're just selling tickets.

[Dale]

Yes.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

And it's.

[Brady]

The preseason has gotten to be worse.

[Dale]

Than I said when we did the podcast. I. I've talked to the coaches. Joe Avzano was a close friend of mine. Hudson Hou, the offensive line coach for the Cowboys. So coming into camp.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Dale]

53 guys on the roster. How many roster spots are open on an average year?

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Dale]

Two or three.

[Brady]

Two or three spots. The guy might surprise her. They need a place that this guy's.

[Dale]

Going to find her, whatever. But going in, you've got 49 or 50 of your guys already vested.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Right.

[Dale]

And back then, we used to do six weeks of training camp.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Dale]

And now it's.

[Brady]

So it was all 100 players currently on each team or thereabouts.

[Dale]

Yes.

[Brady]

And they got to cut back to. They're going to cut 47 of them after this weekend. And you're saying that only three or four maybe had a chance at a chance.

[Dale]

Unless somebody just absolutely shocks you and you got to make matters worse, my first three or four years in the league in Buffalo.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Dale]

There's no roster limit, so there'd be 160 dudes out there. So now if you're. If you had the teammate, it was great because your offense line was five deep.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Dale]

You know, starter, you do 20 plays a team. You're doing four or five plays and you're done. Now.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

Don't they have practice squads?

[Dale]

They do now. Yeah.

[Brady]

You put a guy in the practice squad, though, any. Anybody can take them.

[Dale]

Right.

[Brady]

They're available to the whole league. So you be careful with that. If you've got a guy who's like, he's in development, but we're not, put him on the 53, put him on the practice squad. Someone else can steal them.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

And how many are you said, like 6 or 7?

[Brady]

8 right now.

[Dale]

But you have the chance. If somebody claims him, you have the chance to sign him yourself if you want.

[Brady]

Then you got to put them on the roster. Yes. And keep them off. Or put them on ir.

[Dale]

Right.

[Brady]

Which is even more stupid because then he can't play it off. You know what?

[Dale]

I was going to say that what was so fascinating just jogged my memory for the first four years. Last preseason game, they literally told four or five guys, hey, you're going to sprain your ankle. Hey, you're going to hurt your knee. You're going to do. And somewhere along the line they go down, trainers come out, carry you off because they're going to put you on injury reserve to keep you in the rough. Yeah. And then bring you back. It was crazy, guys. Nobody's good at faking injuries. Rooked sons of bitches. It's like, you know, it's my right ankle, but you're limping on your left ankle and bastards have been lying to.

[Brady]

Us the whole time. Anyway, it's time now for the entertainment drill. What else going on in sports? Anything while you're here? I don't think you got anything.

[Dale]

Diamondbacks. How about your Diamondbacks?

[Brady]

You know, I went to a game the other day. It was a morgue. It's just brewed on.

[Dale]

But how about the Catal Marte stuff?

[Brady]

You were right, man. You give Dale his flowers on that one. You were absolutely 100 right about it. Should have traded him.

[Dale]

Yep.

[Brady]

Because this is weirder. It got weirder.

[Dale]

Well, I didn't realize until recently that after. So he took the Sunday game off before the All Star break, which they needed. And they were in the wild car race at that point.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yep.

[Dale]

And then his house got broke into All Star break, but instead of coming home to take care of that, he went to Dominican Republic and didn't tell the team.

[Brady]

Yeah, they found out after he came back. And that's the crazy part.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

Somebody emailed Rodman.

[Brady]

Yeah, some. Well, no, Rodman told Phil Jackson. Everybody knew. Yeah, everybody knew. He's going to Vegas Disappear. No, he went to Vegas and they said he has to. He can't be in Salt Lake City for four days.

[John Holmberg]

He was gone longer than he should.

[Dale]

They were worried.

[Brady]

They were worried he was. Because he didn't check into the morning practice. Day of gain. Then there's pictures of him with Carmen Electra naked in a hallway and like, he ain't coming back. They were worried. And then he just showed up right at the game time ready to go.

[Dale]

Like, okay, but this crazy.

[Brady]

But the Marte thing, somebody emailed and said, isn't it like finding out, like something happened in Scottsdale and then you go to Baltimore to feel safe? Like it's.

[Dale]

It made no sense.

[Brady]

None.

[Dale]

It made absolutely no sense. And so evidently that stuff's been going on. They fired or they removed their third base coach.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yes.

[Dale]

Had a rough year.

[Brady]

Trade Marte would have been a huge thing. You're absolutely right. Crazy. But they're hanging in there a little better than you expected. They're still around 500. They're not going to do any damage.

[Dale]

Well, I mean, I'm expecting it here in the next week or so to see some little homebird come up there in pitching relief or something like that.

[Brady]

I think you might be right.

[Dale]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Bring up anybody. I'll get out there on the bump. I'll take the beating. I got no problem with that. It's time for Brady to entertain us all. On top of the news that the guy from Mastodon just passed away, which is very meaningful to this crowd. What was his name?

[John Holmberg]

Brent Hines.

[Brady]

Brent Hines. So people who like Mastodon are kind of like, well, I was. What? That's a shocker. But Brady's got all that other stuff.

Sean Williams Scott is going through a divorce. Has been Stifler and yep, Stifler from American Pie. Wondering he's been in a couple of movies. How's he Doing Well. He had to submit all his income because there's a custody battle and child support.

[Brady]

He's on that new Tim Allen show. It's terrible, though.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

Well, he gets $110,000 a month, $45,000 in royalties, 31,000 additional in dividends and interest.

[Brady]

Just from American Pie or just from his career?

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

From his career.

[Brady]

Okay.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

And then he also has 12.2 million in stocks and bonds and 18.8 million in property.

[Brady]

Good on him.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

He invested his bugs.

[Brady]

Now he's got to hand it to some bro. Split that up, cut Stifler in half. There's going to be an American Pie adults movie coming out here soon. They're going to rehash that to get that money back.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

Paris Hilton's new animated kids show, Paris and pups, debuts on YouTube. That's right. The girl that you learned about.

[John Holmberg]

It's better in her porn video. No matter how bad it is, it's.

[Brady]

Sexier to watch her pet puppies than it is to watch her really see.

[Dale]

What?

[Brady]

Oh, damn.

[John Holmberg]

Miserable.

[Dale]

Really blow up.

[Brady]

Dolls move around.

[Dale]

Really?

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And it's not that you're looking for some sort of circus, but some sort of feign interest emotion. Oh, my God. I've never had a. Like, you know, you've had a dead lay. I've never had a dead jerk before. It was impossible to even tug to my dick's like, really find something else. Turn it to give me a break or what's happening or something.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

Dale's got a big story.

[Brady]

All right, go ahead.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

This is really cool.

[Dale]

You see? He sets me up for failure.

[Brady]

It's true.

[Dale]

Dolly Parton has her own Coca Cola flavor right now.

[Brady]

This sounds great.

[John Holmberg]

That fits you.

[Dale]

What are you talking about?

[Brady]

Yeah, it's country music.

[Dale]

I'm gonna send my guys over to your guys.

[Brady]

Yeah, you both have huge fat cans.

[Dale]

It's perfect. Dolly Parton is the author of several books, a line of baking kits, and has a new hotel coming to Nashville. Hotel Johnny.

[Brady]

That's right.

[Dale]

You ever been to Nashville?

[Brady]

I have. It's a great city.

[Dale]

It's great.

[Brady]

One of my favorites.

[Dale]

A lot of. A lot of country music.

[Brady]

I didn't like that. I found a rock bar.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

A lot of rock music, too.

[Brady]

Well, it's mostly country now. They've ruined it.

[Dale]

But this achievement might stand above the mall. Dolly now has her own signature flavor of Coca Cola. It's called 40th pop fizz. And so celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dollywood.

[Brady]

Oh.

[Dale]

Which turns 40 next year. But if you're going to go travel to Pigeon for Tennessee. You want to try it?

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

It's only available at home.

[Dale]

Yeah. Pigeon. Pigeon in Dollywood.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Brady]

Well, that makes sense that you would only get it at the place where Dolly is, like, most famous.

[Dale]

I. Brooke and I. My wife went. The one you'll never meet. Went to Nashville one time, and we took the. And we took the tour just to see what the natural thing. And my wife's a little gullible.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Oh.

[Dale]

And so we're going by the fool during the Mariner. No. Well, maybe. But that. But the Titan Stadium.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Dale]

And the conductor or whatever is given little snippets here and there. Edge, because. So that's where there's. When there's tornado warnings, that's where we take everybody to the Titan Stadium. And Brooklyn looks at me, goes, there's no covering on that. The guy goes. Because the Titans never score. No. Never touchdown. Never touch, like a hurricane tomato.

[Brady]

There's no touchdowns there. That's brilliant. Your. Your wife didn't get it. Oh, now, that explains so much. So very, very much. And I will meet your wife soon. I will.

[Dale]

At my funeral.

[Brady]

That's right. Count on it.

[Dale]

Hi. I'm John Holmes.

[Brady]

I'm the one you've been waiting for. Do you know who Stifler is?

[Dale]

I do. You do? I do know, but.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

Nice.

[Dale]

Oh, I was gonna say the names that you're talking about with that comedian dude, Brian Posay. Yeah. You were throwing out names. I'm like, who the hell are you talking about?

[Brady]

Bob Odenkirk?

[Dale]

No. Who's that?

[Brady]

Better Call Saul? Breaking Bad?

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

Nobody.

[Brady]

He was. He was one. He was Saul. Nobody. The movie. And now nobody, too. Vinnie Paul. Vinnie Paul from Pantera.

[John Holmberg]

Huge Cowboys fan. Pantera singer, drummer from Pantera.

[Brady]

You know Pantera? No.

[Dale]

I know this song.

[Brady]

That's them. That's them, yeah.

[Dale]

Huge cowboys. They wore their.

[Brady]

They wore their homosexual jersey. The. The stars. What do they call? Oh, Cowboy jersey. They wore those all over the place.

[Dale]

So your team got beat by homosexuals in the super bowl once, but I.

[Brady]

Think we still have the upper hand.

[Dale]

Was I on there? Have I ever lost?

[Brady]

I don't know that you ever played.

[Dale]

Have I ever lost to the Steelers? Did you? I don't think so.

[Brady]

You've lost to the Steelers even in the regular season?

[Dale]

I don't think so.

[Brady]

There was a game. You guys clobbered us and opened the season 37. 7. It was awful. The rider. That's one time I walked away from the game. I think the Ryder Cup Was on at the same time. I'm like, I'm not watching this switch. It was brutal. It was a beating. I think we had Ohio State gem Mike Tomczak at the hell.

[Dale]

Oh, my goodness.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

Tzak.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Don't bring back those memories. Anyway, enjoy. Do the Cowboys do anything, or is this all just. They're living so much in nostalgia. There's nothing.

[Dale]

It's a weird feeling to be in as a guy who played for 11 years for him. The fact that. Do you kind of want them to do good, but the further away it.

[Brady]

Gets, it's like, just don't care.

[Dale]

If you don't care, number one. Number two, it's like that. That was the glory days. I mean, even the 70s when they became America's team, they only won two Super Bowls, and they lost one or two to Europe.

[Brady]

They were. There were three and two, I think.

[Dale]

In Super Bowls back then, but.

[Brady]

Or two and three. Sorry. They were in five.

[Dale]

They won and then three, zero with Palestine.

[Brady]

Well, all right. Whatever happened, happened, I guess. Do you want to say goodbye to Brady? Just in case.

[Dale]

Oh, when's the surgery?

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

Tuesday.

[Dale]

Good luck.

[Brady]

I was shaking hands.

[Dale]

It's been nice. I'll give him a hug after.

[Brady]

Don't be. Don't squeeze too hard at my pop.

[Dale]

I wouldn't. I wouldn't do that. I wanted to pop out like a.

[Brady]

Human zit right now. You don't want to squeeze around on Brady too much.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

You never know.

[Dale]

So when we see him next, he's going to be lean and mean. Diets changing.

[Brady]

You tell him.

[Dale]

Diets changing.

[Brady]

Yeah. 100. No more sodium, no more salt, no more processed foods.

[Dale]

You'll feel better. I promise.

[Brady]

No more pizza. No more cheese?

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

No. Not on that.

[Dale]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Brady]

Well, no, that's exactly what we're talking about. You can't.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

It's processed foods. No, not if I make it.

[Brady]

You're gonna do it.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

And there's some good pizzas out there that are okay.

[Brady]

I will say, I've read that white flour is better for you. Normally, that's a terrible thing to put in, but white flour is good for you to help your kidneys.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

It's not a ton of sodium.

[Brady]

Your kidney?

[Dale]

Yeah. We're working at 15, and we're barely.

[Brady]

That thing's barely functioning. If it was a car, you wouldn't drive it on the freeway because it can't go fast enough. But he wants to drive it as fast as he can to the pizza place. Keep her. Keep her cool, kid. Say goodbye to Dale just in Case.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

It'S nice knowing you.

[Brady]

Is there anything you'd like to say to each other right before just.

[Dale]

You know, Brady, I, I, I, I know you come through with flying colors and you have two ways to handle these situations. Right. Another friend who's going through. You can either deal with humor or you can go, yeah, be the saddest.

[Brady]

Guy in the world.

[Dale]

Yeah. And, and I, I would deal with anything with you.

[Brady]

I agree completely.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

That's how we do it.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Yeah.

[Brady]

No, look at that. There's love over there. See that?

[Dale]

I, I might be you when he wakes up. I want to be in the hospital. Right there in bed.

[Brady]

Why would you do that to him? He's been through so much. Why would that be a. You think he died and went to Frankenstein hell, Brady, you can't be the first person people see coming out of anesthesia at all.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

Are we in heaven?

[Brady]

Yeah. His other kidney will just leap out of his body.

[Dale]

So we're doing the podcast also the main I do that was Steve McCollum.

[Brady]

Look at you promoting away the sports thing. The main event with Steve McCullough. And we'll get the other thing up later today. I'll have Toledo post those on our Facebook at the very least. Right now, however, go to Shane Gillis.com and use the code live. Presale tickets for Shane Gillis's show on December 5th are on sale just for you guys right now. Now Gillis has his deal. No, no, Brady, listen to what I said. There is an SG Live. They're trying to track how many people listen to us and get it through us. So live is for us. If you hate us, then go SG Live. If you don't and you want some credit to go CUPD's way for the Gilla sales. They're doing this one just for you guys anyway. So live is for you so they can make sure how many KUPD people get catered to faster. I am telling you, the fees on these tickets for everything now, but this one really was surprising. It'll kick you. So just be ready. Be ready to spend a couple of bucks for a one night only event for probably the hottest comic going.

[Dale]

And he's at the Sunsplash.

[Brady]

Yeah, the Phoenix Arena.

[Unidentified Male Caller]

Pretty big.

[Brady]

It's going to fill 18, 19,000 seats for that. That's pretty good. We're done. Larry's next. You guys have a great Thursday. We'll see you tomorrow on the morning sickness.

[Dale]

It's not weird. It's pretty cool actually.

[Unidentified Male Caller 2]

No membership fees.

[Brady]

I have heard enough of this.
