[Big Red]

The best of homework's morning sickness. This is the Big Red radio.

[Brady]

Anyway, it's time for the entertainment tool. It's brought to you by our [e-mail] that is the home of tactical Black self defense training. Get involved in this thing right now like we said yesterday and got a couple emails today saying, well, if I'm in terrible shape, they'll take Me. They'll take you in any shape you're in. The world takes you in any shape you're in. And you got to defend yourself each and every day from possible jackasses. They don't care what kind of shape you're in. Bad guys look for people who don't look like they're in shape. They look weak or they look troubled. They don't expect somebody who's in bad shape to have something in their pocket to go, you picked with the wrong guy today. So they're great with beginners. That's actually where they thrive and make you feel tons of confidence within the first 15 minutes going, oh, I see. So yeah, they're awesome with people who always email me and say I'm not in good enough shape. You're in perfect shape because you walk around like this every single day. Take that body of yours currently into react defense, learn some stuff and get in shape in the process. But before you get in physical shape, get in mental shape and start being a sheepdog and stop being a sheep. It's self defense. It's the best way to prepare yourself for something that probably won't happen, but if it did, at least you'll be ready. It's reactdefense.com it's the home tactical Black Brady Entertainment.

[Richard]

These reports come out once or twice a year. It's people giving feedback of working with famous actors and who are the worst.

[Brady]

I don't know why everybody wants to know. That's a question people always ask like who's the worst person you've ever worked with?

[Richard]

Well, they threw it out to the people that working in in the industry. Ellen Blake Lively, most entitled snobbyist and rudest person to deal with through tantrums. Dr. Phil. I can imagine that he has a no eye contact rule we always hear.

[Brady]

This about because his eyes look like they're burning out of his own head.

[Richard]

One of the nastiest, most self absorbed people.

[OJ Simpson]

You're nasty self absorbed bitch. Who's just calling me nasty self absorbed Brady, you gotta understand something. When you deal with bitches, you gotta call them bitches. Simple as that. You're a bitch.

[Richard]

Scarlett Johansson, very high maintenance, demanding things left and right. Ben Stiller and John Cusack.

[Brady]

I feel like Scarlett Johansson's one of those people that if you get on the wrong side of her thoughts, she'll start yelling about like the environment or something for an hour and a half. Like I think if you just kind of tap into her. Remember when she went nuts for feminism and Shaved her head and all that and that weird short haircut. And I started screaming at everybody about the way things need to be. I think she's. That she's passionate, but maybe it's a.

[Big Red]

Little bit over the top.

[Brett]

I've heard that about Kanye too. I had a guy that worked the backstage area too. And you're not allowed to look at him. Like if he walks down, you got to look down at the ground or what?

[Brady]

I know. If you fired me. If you fire me for that. Good, I'll. I'll tell that story. Yeah, that's hilarious.

[Richard]

Russell Crowe, super arrogant, self important. Chris Pine just says massive D bag.

[Brady]

Wow. See, I think this too. I think the people that are willing to say that are insecure brats that don't like watching celebrities get extra attention over them. Well, I think the people that get mad are like, what's so special about you? So when you act like a celebrity, cuz you are one or people treat you like one, other people see you as spoiled and entitled. And it's just the way people treat those superstars.

[Richard]

The one that topped that in the D bag word was Steven Seagal, grade A D bag.

[Brady]

He's just. You can see that, See that? And again, we'll. We'll name them dicks when they've got like a career like his where you're kind of sitting there saying, what gives you the right to be this big a dick? It's been a long time since under siege.

[Richard]

O.J. simpson was cremated just now. Yeah.

[Brady]

Stuck around for a while.

[Richard]

Yeah, he kept on ice for a while. Well, he chiming in. Hopefully.

[OJ Simpson]

It's been a while. There's a smoker in here now. I thought hell was hot. Man, oh man. They stuffed me in that box and then they burned it up, Brett. Oh, man, I didn't do that to that. That was. Oh, that was overkill. That's exactly what that is. I was already dead. It wasn't like I was gonna do anything else. But they, they burned me up there, Brady. And now I'm just a OJ in a box.

[Richard]

I think it's cool with what you did with your remains.

[OJ Simpson]

Well, you know, I sent it off to the Goldmans and choke on it. I wrote on there. But I did that a long time ago.

[Richard]

I'm not sure if a choker was involved, but the four kids all got cremation jewelry.

[OJ Simpson]

That's right. Yes. Because I. In fact, I wanted to have a matching set. They have their mother's head on the man, so why not put A little piece of me on their ring.

[Richard]

They all four got chokers or do they get.

[OJ Simpson]

Everybody gets a choker in my family. Oh, let's get with, you know, choker. We get you something. We made all sorts of things. We made moccasins out of their mother. And we. We did just, you know, we had a bunch of soups and things like that. Like a gazpacho. She was bleeding like crazy. So we have. We have memories of mom and why not dad as well. So Sydney and. And the son.

[Brady]

Well, I've forgotten his name.

[OJ Simpson]

He got something.

[Richard]

You got Sydney and Justin.

[OJ Simpson]

Justin. He's the one who helped me kill Nicole. Oh, wow. So, yeah, a lot of people don't know that, but the search for the real killers was right down the street. Was right with me. The DNA matched. You should probably go arrest him. But anyway, just saying, if you want one, Brady, we can have it made up. I'll have a little oj. Dust to dust. Brought your way.

[Richard]

Can I get a C ring?

[OJ Simpson]

That would be nice. I don't think it'd fit you, but we can burn up my deck and.

[Big Red]

Give you a ring.

[OJ Simpson]

This would be like a hula hoop to Brady. I'm just saying. Actually, a hula hoop to Brady is just called a belt A. That's true. It's a fat joke. All right, I'm going to go there.

[Richard]

Good one, oj.

[OJ Simpson]

Hey, thanks. And I'll see you guys a little while here. We get your will done right here. Just saying. I'm just saying. Just saying.

[Richard]

So all four kids got the cremation jewelry. Sydney and Justin.

[Big Red]

Yeah.

[Richard]

And then Arnell and Jason from his. They were.

[Brady]

They were Nicole's kids.

[Comedy Announcer]

Marguerite.

[Brady]

That's right.

[Richard]

His first wife.

[Brady]

Sydney and Justin were the kids. Sydney was the last play he saw of. That was the day he killed her. They went to Sydney.

[Richard]

Two or three, it looks like twice. But I didn't know this. They had a third child. Ian, Marguerite. Named Aaron. But he drowned in the family swimming pool in 1979. True, OJ. He's only 2 years old.

[OJ Simpson]

He's back again. Tell you what, I could use some water a couple days ago and put me out. It was just burned up. So, yes, he drowned. It was tragic.

[Richard]

You don't seem that broken up.

[OJ Simpson]

I'm over it. It's been a while, you know. You know, you move on, Richard. This tragedy in life. Sometimes your kid ends up in the bottom of the pool. Sometimes your wife's head falls off. You just gotta keep going, keep on trucking. As I like to say, you just keep stabbing along till you find something else. That's all. Anyway, I didn't know I was so. I'll talk to you all in a little bit. See you later. Bye. Bye. Just say, close the door behind me.

[Big Red]

There.

[OJ Simpson]

Exit. Push. I'm just saying.

[Richard]

Not sure how the kids feel about the jewelry.

[OJ Simpson]

Yeah, thrilled.

[Richard]

Did they even want it?

[OJ Simpson]

Are they going to wear it?

[Richard]

They'll be calling buyers innocent. They got that. Oh, Channing Tatum hates doing laundry so much that back in 1999, he had, quote, the year of the fresh white tea. He wore only new white T shirts the entire year.

[Brady]

That's pretty fun. By the way, Sean asked the question, if they cremated oj, does that make him concentrate? I think they have to freeze him for that, don't they? Isn't that.

[Richard]

Yeah, that's frozen, more like.

[OJ Simpson]

That is a great joke.

[Brady]

Yes, I've ever contacted concentrated oj. It doesn't really make sense, but neither does Brady, so. It's a good point. It might be a break.

[Richard]

Marty Freeman from Megadeth once got a call about a possible gig as the new guitarist for Kiss.

[Big Red]

That's right. We wanted to get another Jew on board.

[Richard]

They passed on him because he was 5 7.

[Big Red]

That's right. You need to be super tall to be in kiss.

[Brady]

What?

[Richard]

No.

[Brady]

You must be this tall.

[Big Red]

There's a sign outside of the KISS door. You have to be taller than Paul.

[Brady]

Oh, he's 5 8.

[OJ Simpson]

Okay.

[Big Red]

Marty looked like a child in the makeup. It was weird.

[Brady]

He looked like a. I'll Stanley.

[Richard]

Six foot.

[Big Red]

That's right.

[OJ Simpson]

It's a big man.

[Big Red]

What?

[OJ Simpson]

Yeah.

[Big Red]

Well, I didn't know. I thought he was much shorter. Because I'm a giant. I'm Gene.

[Richard]

I'm not sure what. You know, Tommy Thayer. He must be six foot.

[Brady]

But there everyone in Kisses, at least freely.

[Big Red]

You look giant on the stage. When we dressed up Marty in the makeup, he looked like a. Like one of those Kabuki girls or.

[Hooters Announcer]

A. Gene, couldn't you just give him bigger heels?

[Big Red]

We could have, but he had trouble walking. Oh, he looked like a geisha.

[Brett]

It looks like you got to be over 6 foot to be in Kiss.

[Brady]

Right?

[Big Red]

He must be 6ft to be in Kiss. It's a sign outside.

[Brett]

Must be this tall.

[Big Red]

Must be this tall to be inside. Kids. Those are ladies as well.

[Brett]

Marty, Moose is out front.

[Big Red]

Sorry. Sorry. Marty, the moose out front. Should have told you you can't be in kiss. We didn't know you were that tiny. We appreciate the Judaism, but You must.

[Brady]

Gonna give him some platforms.

[Big Red]

We tried that, Brett. It's like walking on stilts to make him six feet. Every man under six feet is useless. We know this. Sorry, Brandon. By the way, Andrew Mima did write a song for Kiss.

[OJ Simpson]

What?

[Richard]

This guy named Brian Danzero had been working at the Conjuring house in Burlville, Rhode island, where the movie was filmed and he was fired where Roadhouse was filmed. Where the conjuring.

[Brady]

Oh, okay.

[Richard]

Conjuring house.

[Hooters Announcer]

Okay.

[Richard]

He was fired abruptly last month because he was caught stealing by a ghost. Oh, Christ.

[Brady]

That's Brady. You're spewing Both.

[Richard]

The current owner claims that the spirit of John Arnold, who owned the home in the 1800s, told her Brian had swiped $3,000 from the cash box because you can go there to visit.

[Brady]

So this lady communicates with the former owner of the house. Yeah, and this is the verse we're hearing of it. When he rats someone out, Brett's people.

[OJ Simpson]

Will be on this.

[Brett]

Unbelievable.

[Richard]

Brian denies he stole anything and he doesn't think Arnold's ghost would rat him out like that.

[Brady]

You're gonna find a ghost tied up in thrown into the Pine Barrens. I guess this ghost's got a big mouth. You know, you can go anywhere you want in the universe. You decide to haunt your own house. You're the dumbest mother on the planet. You lived there when you lived here, you dumbass. Go haunt something else. I don't get that. Why people think. And then I've asked people who believe in ghosts. I'm like, why would a ghost go where he was? He wants to visit his old family. Can't he do? They're not there anymore. They're upstairs with you. It's 1860. And also. Yeah. Then the next thing is they're trapped there. Then who's he telling?

[OJ Simpson]

Purgatory.

[Brady]

Okay, then who's he telling? So he tattles. He's in purgatory and he hasn't learned his lesson because he's still a Seward throwing. You know, Mr. Surveillance, if I'm going.

[Brett]

To haunt a house, it's not going to be somewhere in South Phoenix or something. I'm going to be at the Aaron Spelling mansion.

[Brady]

And you don't get a choice that I'm going.

[OJ Simpson]

I'm moving.

[Brady]

I'm going to Dua Lipa's house. I'm hunting.

[Richard]

This ghost is moving.

[Brady]

I am hunting.

[Brett]

Dually be George Jefferson.

[Brady]

I'm moving on up. If ghosts can do it. And I get the. I want to go to Purgatory So you're like, you have to haunt something and you're not allowed in heaven. Dua Lipa's house. Please. I'm gonna haunt the out of her do. It would be levitating every night, I guarantee. I don't know what's going on. This is amazing.

[OJ Simpson]

Straight do.

[Brady]

It's my ghost. And I was allowed to hunt one thing. I chose you, my ghostly D. That's heaven. Yes. Like if God said, where do you want to go? I'm like, dua Lipa's house. I'm got it. Go nuts.

[Big Red]

Like.

[Brady]

All right.

[OJ Simpson]

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

[Richard]

No membership feed.

[OJ Simpson]

I have heard enough of this.
