You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil sitting right here. Come on. No, no. He's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude to you. PT Smiles to know where they. Sorry. I got posted. I had to get it out of my system. Or I just shouted it on the air. I had to Tourette's out a curse there real quick before we got it. This kind of professionalism you get around me, Brett start feeling that moment, you got to puke one of those big boys out. And I threw it out right as I turned the mics off or. And then I'm spun them back on. Gotta yell it. Sometimes when people are acting like that, you gotta say it. I think you're. That's how it works. By the way, Jay from Tactical Black, who is a huge proponent of de escalation being the best self defense you could ever put into your life. You're in a situation. Let's say Brett and I are at a bar. Guy comes over to us, gets Brett to bow up. You know, you've been looking at my girl's ass. And every guy's like, what's your problem? Like you. You immediately become. And you realize, no, let's not do this. De escalation is a huge thing. It's a guaranteed win. Your pride takes a punch. Big deal. But Jay even said, you spit on me, all bets are off. Even Jay. That is the. It's the universal bodily fluid. N word. He said we have prison guards that have trained with us who are bit in fights and come down with hep cities. The human mouth is the worst. Yes. Oh, that's a rough one. That's. That's. That's too far, man. Yeah, I'm with you. That is. It is. It is a hard time to walk away if someone spits on you. Still probably the smartest thing you can do. But damn it all. Tough walk away. Real tough. I'm going to get into something with you guys a little bit that is more of a discussion about what should or shouldn't be done. And it'll be more of an opinion based thing. I'll tell you right now. It's not political, but politics are involved. All right? And I'm trying to. I'm trying to navigate this road. Okay. We'll get to that in a second. And it's really. It's tough for me. I'm. I'm struggling with this in a huge way. It's a huge thing. We'll get to that in a second. Otherwise, we're talking about the biggest news in sports. Caitlin Clark is out for the season. I'm kidding. Nobody Knew she was out the whole time anyway. Anyway. No, the big news is Angel Reese was suspended. I'm just kidding. No one cares about any WNBA playoffs right around the corner. No one even knows who's in it. The league is a mess.
Brady
When does their season end? I don't even know. I thought it was over.
John
This is how badly run the WNBA is. You know, football kind of does well, wouldn't you say?
Brady
I would say, yeah.
John
Ratings have been the number one television show for the last 12 or 13 years. By far, Sunday Night Football has been the dominant ratings winner on television yesterday.
Tyler
According to the, you know, researchers saying.
John
48% of people are interested are checking this out. That's football. Huge. You have a product where half of America are actually actively interested and the other half is probably passively paying attention. You've got. They have got us on a rope for football. So what's the WNBA do? Time their schedule, their playoffs start right around when football gets going and a lot of their games are on Sunday afternoons. They are by far the dumbest group of business people I've ever seen in my life in the world of sports, unless you count this mix. Mike Tyson's going to fight Floyd Mayweather in a few. I mean, come on. Did Mike Tyson not see his last fight with the YouTuber? He can't do it anymore. He almost fell down walking into the ring.
Tyler
I was wondering if they're going to incorporate, you know, like is he going to do a one man show, some of his standouts.
John
I would much rather watch Mike Tyson recreate his as as Tony Award winning one man Broadway show which was phenomenal. Hbo, I think he got an an Emmy for it too because HBO did, Spike Lee directed and helped him with. It was a great show. And now this idiot 60 year old man keeps walking back into a boxing ring with Floyd Mayweather who by the way, when Floyd was in his prime made fights boring on purpose because he was a defensive gem. Go no further. Then watch Floyd Mayweather went to Japan for an exhibition fight with a Japanese kickboxer and it's the most embarrassing thing you'll ever see. Floyd throws like a punch that wouldn't knock a three year old down and the Japanese guy throws himself on the ground and starts rolling around and Floyd raises his arms. I'm like oh, Floyd Mayweather is in my opinion the greatest defensive boxer I've ever watched. That doesn't make for good fights ever. He makes someone look foolish for a few rounds, they get tired, they start chasing him around and he just Jabs and taps and jabs until it's ready to put him away. He lets the, he lets the rabbit run himself out. He's had a few good fights, but not many. He's a great defensive fighter. He also is a thief. He, he, he knows how to fake. And Tyson's the same way. For a while there, Tyson wasn't dumb. He played the bad guy really well. He got a little out of control sometimes.
Tyler
So the freak show happens. Are you paying?
John
No, I will not pay for this. I will not pay for this. No. I watched the Tyson Paul fight last year mainly for the spectacle. It was huge. It was in a huge stadium, it was a massive event. And I'm like, why? And the off chance that Mike Tyson landed a punch and you heard me here, like, there's no possible way a 60 year old man and everybody, have you seen him work the bag? You see him work the gloves? I'm good at that. I'm, I'm good at working a bag and gloves. You give me every day for a month and watch me work gloves, mitts, bags, all that stuff, I'm going to be really good at it. Doesn't mean I'm good fighting. In fact, I get my ass kicked most of the time by somebody a little better and definitely younger than me in a controlled setting. But I'm great on mitts, especially if I do it a lot mitt. It doesn't show you anything about boxing, but everybody was all enamored with Mike Tyson's training and training. He looks great. You go over to jabs, the women's boxing thing, you're going to see a few ladies in there, you're like, wow, then put them in the ring to fight. It's a different beast. You're not hitting any, nobody's hitting you back with mitts. Nobody's hitting you back with a bag. You can still hit hard, but you're not afraid of getting hit. You can load up a little more. So I've never been the person that gets fooled by a training, you know, like, wow, he looks really good training. He looks good because that's what he's been doing all day. It's like, he looks great jumping rope too, but he's not going to win a jump rope championship. He's not all of a sudden that qualified to double Dutch for the world championship. He's a really good jump roper because it's part of his training now. Start to punch him while he's jump roping and see how he does. So watching mayweather and Tyson try to steal your money. And that's all this is, is going to be on us. This, this one has to be like what I'm going to call the last action hero. For a while there, Arnold Schwarzenegger could release himself on the toilet, just straining in the late 80s, early 90s. Here I am in the can. Yay, yay. And for two hours we'd be like, arnold, Arnold. We loved action movies. I will kill anyone who tries to break into the bathroom and try to kill me while I drop the tubes. Poopies. And then the last action hero came out. We're like, we're done with this. We hate this. Now, now you're just. Now it was like he was like, I don't even have to have a script. I just show up. We do the songs, we do the dance, we leave. The little boy doesn't even have to be an actor. We just, people will come and we're like, we're done with you. That's the last one. And the last action hero was the one that killed the action movies because we, we as a group said no more. This has to happen. This has to happen with Tyson, Mayweather. This has to happen. I do not buy this fight immediately. And we'll probably advertise on the station because we have huge mail numbers and like that.
Tyler
I'm like, is there an additional hook to this?
John
No, it's two names right now. It doesn't look like two branded names. We have established that the general public, especially 50 year old men, and I'm in that category and guys, we need to talk. It's not impressive. With one of our own, does something good in sports, it means the sport sucks. When a 50 year old man does well in a sport, something's wrong with the sport. Period. End of story. That's it. If you can't get young people to dominate, something's wrong with your sport. It's not good. So when a 60 year old boxer wants to fight, 59 and 48 wants to fight a 50 year old boxer, why two completely wildly different weight classes? It's just dumb and it's stealing. And please, for God's sakes, let's send the message as a group. We don't want to watch this. I don't want to watch old men doing much ever. I don't want to watch. Look, I play basketball in my backyard. I ain't selling tickets to that. Nobody wants to see that nightmare. I don't even want to film it. I can still shoot, but I'm that's.
Tyler
Why I was wondering what the hook might be is it's going to be a show, a series up until a fight where they're going to follow the training probably.
John
But don't fall for it. Don't fall for it.
Tyler
Floyd had that. I mean.
John
You mean when he was relevant?
Tyler
Yes.
John
And he had a show about like a real boxing match.
Tyler
Man, this guy is talking smack.
John
And he was selling the fight beautifully because it had consequence. And it wasn't just they're going to.
Tyler
Try to do that with this.
John
It doesn't matter if they win or lose. Nobody. If a 50 year old man beats up a 6 year old man, it's expected. If a 6 year old man beats up a 50 year old man, it's sad. Nothing good comes from this. There's no belts exchanged, there's nothing good wwe, it's worse. The WWE at least admits their entertainment.
Tyler
They're going, but there's enough. Now you got something.
John
If they go bare knuckle, I might watch because it's at least a little different. But I'm still not interested in old men fighting unless it's on the streets. The only time I want to watch old guys fight is in a parking lot at Circle K. Why? It's hilarious watching two old slow dudes try to fight. It's horrible when two dudes are pretending they're professionals anyway, they're done. There's a reason you retire from the sport. You're no good at it anymore. Nobody retires from.
Tyler
And it's only two minutes or less.
John
Which is mind boggling because if they're such professionals, they should hit the three minute mark. It's not easy to do two minutes. Go do two minutes of boxing right now and you'll make it through around 82. It's hard. But you retire from a sport because you're slow and old in your 30s, not because you're just like, well, I could keep doing it. I just don't feel like it. Some guys do. I know you'll throw Andrew Luck at me, but most of the time, and even you look at the roster of, you know, some of the teams, like even my Pittsburgh Steelers, I'm wearing the jersey today of cam Hayward, who's 36. He's old man Cam on the team and that's with Aaron Rodgers who's 41. And everybody's laughing because the quarterback's 41 years old. He shouldn't be there, but he is. He might have one last hurrah in him. Maybe. But the odds are against it. It's a young man's game. Boxing is a young man's game. UFC doesn't. The good thing about UFC is they're not dragging Rampage out anymore. So you're 47 years old. Do you think you could take one of these kids? Rampage is like, no, I was getting my ass kicked when I was in my 30s by guys closer to my age. You think I got better in the last few years? I'm terrible. I'm old and slow. That's what happens to all of us. You may think you're still good at tape yourself. You're old and slow and that's why there's age divisions. Brady doesn't play tennis against 20 year olds. It'll be a disaster. You go out there and play guys your age. Yeah, of course you do. That's stupid to try to play people who aren't. So please do not, for the love of God, pay for this fight. You can't do it. And I guarantee you something weird's gonna. Here's my prediction. And this will be proof that it's all, something weird's gonna happen leading up to it. Like, no, it won't be an injury. It'll be something strange where Mike Tyson knocks out Deon Deontay Wilder in a sparring match.
Brady
That's what I'm saying. This is wwe. It's ridiculous.
Tyler
There's enough that you could hook.
Brady
Absolutely there is. Because of the names dumb Americans themselves.
John
Jake Paul, you're right. Makes $70 million. He's not a fighter. Morning sickness medicate. Can you P.D. holmberg's morning sickness. He's still better than Tyson at 60. And the dude's an off the street guy again. I told you back then last year, Mike Tyson's last fight 15 years ago was against a guy named McBride. Kevin McBride, I think was his name. He got his ass kicked by this dude badly. And he was a horrible journeyman fighter. It was designed to see if Mike could still even stand in the ring with somebody. Got his ass kicked badly by a doughy white dude who couldn't make his mark in boxing. If. If everybody threw their fights, you would. He was terrible. He thinks 15, 16 years after that, Mike Tyson's like, well, I found the magic again. No, you got worse. Floyd Mayweather's last few fights, horrible, because he knew I'm not as quick as I used to be. I may not have this, but I know how to defend. And he didn't fight, he dodged. And he wore a dude out by letting him punch Him.
Brady
How old's Floyd now?
John
48. 48. And Floyd's still athletic, but he's not in the game.
Brady
But he's 48.
John
There's a reason he's not in the game. He's smart enough to know that it's just not beneficial to him. I never like when old people are good at stuff. Ever. An old man good at stuff.
Tyler
He spent the cash. You spent more cash, Floyd, or why.
John
They'Re doing more money. I'll tell you right now. Mike Tyson has. Floyd Mayweather's been actually fairly smart with his money outside of bailing himself out of things for rape and like. Like jail stuff.
Tyler
Because I thought this the last Paul fight for Mike might have just.
John
The last. The last fight cruise for a little bit. Well, it brought him back to zero, I think. Yeah, I think. I think Mike. Mike's blown a lot of money.
Brady
He's real big into the weed thing now.
John
Yeah, he got into some good investing. Yeah. Yeah. And he's an old man pothead. This is like Cheech and Chong having a boxing match. Come on. I don't want to watch it. Hey, man, I'll fight you, man. Come on. And we're supposed to be excited for this. No, it's not a thing. Another thing I wanted to talk about that I actually love. Pete Buttigieg might have been faking it. Do you see that?
Tyler
No.
John
Tucker Carlson has gone out of his way to claim that noted homosexual politician Pete Buttigieg is actually straight. And another guy has backed him up, saying, oh, yeah, straight as an arrow. He's faking it for political gain. And I am appalled. Who would do such a thing, faking being a homosexual just to get away with stuff? That's insanity. There's a guy named Michael Knowles that's saying Tucker Carlson isn't crazy because Tucker said that Pete Buttigieg is fake gay. He's doing the thing. He's heard it from a gay friend that Pete told him, I'm not really gay. I'm faking it. And he's, like, been with women and stuff. Tucker's podcast, he said that Pete's faking it for political gain. And Michael, this other guy, says that he takes Pete at his word that he's gay, but he's got no problem amplifying the idea that Pete's full of it because he kind of avoids the whole topic. Like, I don't want to talk about it too much. There may be. And I'm not saying I know one way or the other who's right. Or wrong. I know what I'm rooting for is that Pete Buttigieg faked it the whole time. I think that would be hilarious. Pete wants to run for president, right? And there's pictures of him with his friend Chaz. Pete and Chaz? They're like, a couple, but it's a Chuck and Larry situation, possibly. That they could be, like, faking it for the gains. And. I don't know, Brad, I don't know if you've ever met anybody who's fake being gay so he can get away with stuff, but that person is appalling. And I don't know. Gotta think about that one. That is gay hand Jewish. How does this. Oh, my God. Could you imagine who would have the gallery running around saying they're a gay Jew? That's a slap to the star and the rainbow Howard Stern wannabe. Exactly. That's all that person would be, is just some shock jock. But if he's faking it, that's a whole lot worse than when I did it, because he's actually been in really important positions. I'm a jackass for a living. It's okay for me to do it. Dude's in Biden's cabinet, and he's, like, running the Department of Transportation. And, I mean, he could make tons of mistakes. And you can't really get too mad at him, especially when he was doing it, when everybody was on eggshells about political correctness. And you're like, the gay guy just screwed up the entire freeway system with something he did. And it's like, what a dumb. Can't say that. Oh, yeah, yeah. Don't yell at him or anything. He'll get in trouble with the LGBTQ people. You don't want to get. Just ignore it. Ignore it. Pete's sitting back, laughing, smoking cigarettes. It's the biggest thing I've sucked on in a while.
Brady
So Pete's straight then?
John
Apparently, possibly. I'm not making that claim. Tucker Carlson made it. Now people are backing it up and saying maybe Pete's faking it. I know what I'm rooting for. It's all I'm saying.
Brady
Next thing you know, they're gonna say Big Mike's real name is Michelle. I mean, come on.
John
What's going on here? Yeah, let's get to the real brass tax. Who's faking what? Around. There's a press conference. Prove it. Yeah, we're have to ask you to suck on this, Mr. Buttigieg. I would. I just. My boyfriend would. No, no, no, no, no. You Got to prove it to us. Mr. Buttigieg, please, for the sake of the American people and the office that we hold so dear, suck that right here on TV and prove it to us. And then he would do it. People like, he's terrible at it. He's never done this in his life. He reminds me of my wife.
Tyler
We have gay experts on right now.
John
He looks a little uncomfortable around the ball sack. I say not gay. I am praying this gets legs and Pete has to go on TV and prove he's gay. I am dying for this to be real. Thank you, Tucker Carlson, and your weirdness for making this even a thought in my head. Because if it, we win no matter what, as an audience. And I'm telling you, I'm here for the laughs. I don't care about politics anymore at all. I'm here for the laughs. There's nothing we can do. We can't be all in an uproar constantly over what Trump said, what the Dems did. I know. I hate half of them here, and I hate half of them here. Some ideas are okay. They'll screw it up somehow. But if one of them faked gay and we caught him and we have to have him prove it, and he either does or doesn't, who's the winner in that?
Tyler
We see him out. He's dressed like Captain Fantastic.
John
Yeah, he's got his. He's got a boa. He's got a ramp up the twink to proceed. If I was straight, would I wear this feather boa? No, probably not. We still need you to see. We still gotta see you give a hand job or something. And not to yourself. One of those over the top jobs to the dude next to you at a movie theater. Well, that's just uncouth. Come on, come on, come on, come on. We need to see it. I've said it for years. One thing the American people hate in unison besides the wnba is being fooled. We do not like being fooled. It's universal. And if you pulled the wool over our eyes and we were nice to you about something and you'd find out that it was fake, we're gonna make you prove it. And this is one I want to see proven on stage. Where are the big winners here? Oh, I want to see it. I don't know. You look a little uncomfortable around the ball sack. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to take in the answer. Gulp. I just. I. And just have a doctor come out later. The way they do Trump all the time, it's like, we don't think he's healthy. And then that weird doctor comes out. This guy is like a.
Tyler
Like a center further examination.
John
He's like a half man, half mule. He's amazing. And the doctor comes out like we need somebody to go investigate Pete Buttigieg's back door. And Tucker Carlson was right.
Tyler
The doctor comes out and just said. You just hear him say platinum?
John
Yeah. Not using it. Or his boyfriend's got a micro. That's what we've just. We the viewing audience win this argument and this battle all day long. It should it matter? No. But he made it matter. We're the ones who get involved in whether or not people are gay or not. I don't care. But if you say you're gay and you lie about it, I need to know. You're the Rachel Dolezal of BJ's.
Tyler
Usually, usually they do a little expose on their life and here's what it is. Outside of politics.
Brady
Took my first crank.
John
What do you think about that? I can make that look super easy. The only way to prove it is one way, Brady. There's only one way a straight man with everything on the line who's been fake and gay can make the American public rest easy. You got to take one in the trunks on TV for us. Paper. I don't want to see Floyd and Mike fight, but I'd pay 60 bucks on a Saturday night to watch Pete Buttigieg prove it to us. It's like a Black Mirror episode. And I absolutely love that this is in the ether. I don't. Look, don't email me your side and all the other stuff. People hate being fooled. And if Pete pulled this off and I'm frankly, I'm rooting for him to having had faked it because I'd like to see him break down and apologize for it. That would be amazing. Jussie Smollett still hasn't said he's sorry for and he's. He's digging his heels in. They got video footage of him with the dudes that he hired to do the thing to him and he still says it was an attack. You know, he's O.J. simpson without the murders.
Brady
It's Rafael Palmero about exactly screaming at Congress.
John
I look at you pointing his finger. I never did this, you sons of bitches. And they're like, oh, here's a video. You doing it. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Nevermind. Besides that, I never did it. Besides that one video you got of me. Oh yeah, exactly. People hate being Fooled. But if Pete Buttigieg is straight and he's gonna still, like, I'm hoping this goes crazy. This erases the Epstein's to me. I don't care what happens after that. That's still entertaining. There's too much going on there. This is a one on one moment. He's got to take Chaz deep. Sorry, it's just the tip. We're not impressed. Can you take the whole thing or not? Pete, look, if you want to be president, you got to do this. I try to go down to the balls, I guess. All right, Would we be satisfied if he went balls down things? If we go balls deep? Well, we'll leave you alone about this, Mr. Booty Judge. They made such a big deal out of it. He's the first gay. This in the cabinet. He's the first gay. They're the ones who made a big deal. I've never known who's blowing who when it came to the Department of Transportation, ever. I remember Trump put an Asian lady in charge of it, and I got nervous for a little while. Well, yeah, terrible. That was the only time I actually knew who the Department of Transportation person was. And I saw a lady go, ah, Ross, be safe now. Like, oh, no, Boo Yi Poon was right on it. I take care of buses. Oh, yeah, you will. Just get behind the wheel. You'll take care of all of them.
Tyler
But couldn't he, I mean, really, in a way, combat it by saying, you know, I was gay, now I'm no longer gay?
John
I don't know. You got a lot of political gain.
Tyler
I didn't want to change it because what does it matter?
John
I'll tell you this right now. That gets him blown up by everybody, including the lgbtq, because that's a poor choice of words. Later, maybe it was Freudian, because the LGBTQ people would come after him going, it's not a choice. You can't just choose not to be anymore. So the best case scenario is he comes out and says, I'm bisexual, which I don't believe. Second, you're eating another dude's mayo. The word buy is dropped from your resume. That I stand by. That should be on a coin that should be on the bottom of our money.
Brady
D ot do us or whatever we.
John
Got for Arizona State. Now that what I just said should be a state motto. The second you take another dude's mayo, the buy gets dropped from your resume. That's the great State of Arizona, 1912. But if he's faking it, I know I'll Be thrilled. Hilarious. And I like that this is a thing, because he did benefit off of that. Joe Biden hired him screaming out, I'm going to have a diverse cabinet. And he's a white man. He wouldn't have gotten the job from Joe if he wasn't gay. Fact. Joe wasn't just hiring random whites for his cabinet. He made a point to say, there's going to be a gay guy. There's. Remember that dude that was in the lipstick and the red dress, started stealing stuff from the airport? He was like a nuclear physicist. Joe appointed him to stuff. Until he started swiping bags out of the Dulles and still have that admiral. Right. Or Justin says, this is not the classiest way to ask me this. John, what do you think gets bigger ratings? Tyson versus Floyd or Pete getting bf'd for proof? Oh, I know the answer to that. Pete. Pete. It's gross. Yeah, I think we got to do like a. DNA swabs inside and out on the guy. And if it's real, then it's still hilarious that he had to prove it. If it's not real, it's hilarious that now he's got to explain himself. It's the best. Remember that congressman that said he was walking the Appalachian Trail for like a week and really just took that plane down to Brazil to nail that check?
Tyler
Yeah. Yeah.
John
Honey, I'm gonna be gone how long? Six or seven days. And I'll be in the woods. So there's no chance you could call me or I can call you. So bye. Okay, I guess that makes sense. Bye. He gets on a jet and flies down to South America and hammers the life out of a chick, then comes back dirty. He. Roll. He. The best part of that story was he rolled around in the. In the woods after he got back from the airport. Before he went home, he had to. He probably ran and got some sweat. I bet you in the car he had the heat all the way up, so it looked sweaty. And then he rolled around in the dirt.
Tyler
I forgot how he got caught.
John
It was because the girl told on him, didn't she? Yeah, the chick down there said something like, he's not in the woods, he's banging me the whole time. Sickness. And then he had to go up behind that podium and his wife standing behind him for a little bit. It wasn't really in the woods. Everybody. It's like everybody went ooh. As being a hot side piece down there. I met her in Central America. I don't even know how this happened, but. And the first question, couldn't you come up with a better lie than I'm gonna just walk in the woods for six days. Doesn't that seem suspicious? Wife seemed to eat that up though. So you gotta give me credit for it.
Tyler
It's been two years.
John
Yeah, I've been doing that a lot actually. If you make a habit of the walking in the woods for six days, your wife seems to be like, he goes to the woods a lot, always comes back dirty. So it must be real to one.
Tyler
Of her friends are like, really?
John
Yeah.
Tyler
For two years.
John
Again.
Brady
Was he Kane from Kung Fu? Just walks the earth.
Tyler
Needs time. Time alone.
John
I guarantee it happened too. He'd go like, I'm gonna go walk in the woods. And he'd leave for six days and come back all dirty. How was your walk? It was great. And like a couple days later, he's in bed with that wife of his and he tries to make a move on her. She goes, stop it. I'm bloated. And he lays there kind of pissed off. And then tomorrow I'm gonna go back to the woods.
Tyler
I need time.
John
I'm gonna go back to the woods. Probably five day trip this time. Into the woods. Okay. You just got back from the woods. I think I dropped my watch or something. I gotta go look for my watch. Can I come with? Hell no. I'll be in the woods. It's my time to think by myself for a week. All men do it. You should see it. The woods are loaded with us. It's men wandering all over the place. Appalachian Trail's not little. I want to see it all. And he got caught. And he never once stood behind the podium and said what he should have, which was, you guys don't think it's kind of impressive that I did this for two years? Boys. It's a hell of a lie. And you know how much work I had to go into it. I was sneaking out of the airport. That was like Al Qaeda. And another question should have been, could you find some local ass at least in the Appalachians? Like you couldn't have kept it where you didn't have to fly to it. Probably, but you ever seen a Brazilian's ass? He makes a good point. That's a good point. Anyway, I just want to thank my love, love of my life, my wife. She'll be getting a nice ring. Big four karat deal. I gotta pay for this.
Brady
He Kobe's it?
John
Yeah, he has to. It's gotta save it. But we love that one too. Even though we forgot about Him, Anthony Weiner. We love these dudes that go out and go, I'm a family man. I do this, this and this. And then the next thing you know, their dick is on a little phone screen. Some 20 year old girls like, he's been doing this for a while. Oh, my God.
Tyler
Wide stance at the airport bathroom.
John
Oh, that guy is my favorite one. He's trying to tap toes with the dude in the stall next to him, see if he could get a random BJ at Minnesota's airport. Then he went on TV with his wife crying, I know why I do it. I know why you do it. You love the D. You can get jobs for it with the Biden administration. Anyway, I got my fingers crossed. I'm praying to Brady's God everything all right.
Brady
Goddamn approval stuff with this.
John
Oh, he's trying to get his email shooters. Ask for an approval right in the middle of it.
Brady
Anyway, trying to get the.
John
I understand. You get all the people contacting and the thing shuts you down the middle. It's a terrible system. Thanks for being so diligent. Brett does not like technology.
Brady
No, this is ridiculous.
John
All right, here's my dilemma. And I need this to be something you guys solve. So Halloween's coming up. The Halloween Show. October 31st. Doing it at Desert Ridge, Night of the Singing Dead. It's on a Friday or Saturday, I don't remember which, but it's on a weekend. So Halloween's gonna be awesome.
Tyler
I think it's a Friday. It is.
John
Okay. Doing it on Halloween, which will be great. The big party and the Fun will be October 31st. So usually about this time of the year, I start going through ideas for what I'm going to do for a costume and I have to order. From a company. No, from a company that does prosthetic stuff. Now last year it was awesome. It's like these rubber masks that are. They feel like skin. That my makeup lady, and she's available to all of you, by the way, any domey, look her up. She's outstanding. And if you've seen our Halloween shows, you know that the. It's movie magic what she does. She is excellent. And I sit in that makeup chair for a few hours at a time. And I really enjoy, like the, like, it's fun. So she sends me some stuff and I start looking at the things that are possible. And it's a website of a company and I'm not gonna give the name of the company yet because I gotta hear from what you guys think. And I go on their Instagram page. I'm like, oh, that's awesome. So I fire, like, a picture of that back to Annie, could we do something like this? And there's chest pieces that kind of glue on, and it looks like human skin or bones. Makes you look like half your head's missing. Like, there's all sorts of really cool prosthetics. So I'm going through their Instagram page, and in the middle of their Instagram page, they say, sorry, we can't do a certain thing. We're a very small company, so we can't afford that. I'm like, oh, that's. It was just something minor where someone was asking for extras, and they're like, can't give those away. We're kind of a small company. We can't do it. Oh, it was. Some influencer was asking them, can you give us free samples if I give you a push on my thing? Is it. We're not. We're too small to give things away. We need the money. We're just a little company. I'm like, oh, that's, you know, a classy way to handle it. Two posts later, on their Instagram page, it says, keep in mind, this is a small company. They don't have a ton, evidently, of money. They throw out a post that says, if you support Trump and his cruel cabinet, delete us as a follower. We won't change your mind, and you're not going to like it here anyway. And I'm a big believer and giving people money who deserve it and stuff. I'm not a Trump supporter, but I'm also not a person that believes you're a smart business for telling half of an audience to go away. Take it from Howard Stern. He did it, and his audience dwindled to 125,000 people. People like being told, and here's the problem. Okay, so it's Trump. Big deal, right? You vote for Trump. You don't vote for Trump. What about you find out. I have a belief that you don't agree with. Can we not do business again?
Tyler
Yeah.
John
Do I give this company my money? Now, keep in mind, some of these prosthetics are like a thousand bucks. This is a good chunk of change. If it said Biden or anything else, I'd feel the exact same way. I don't like anybody who says, my business is small. We can't do anything for you, and then says, unless you believe exactly the same way I do. I don't want you to follow us or be part of my business. I kind of want those businesses to go out of business. Because isn't that in a weird way, saying no blacks allowed.
Tyler
More or less.
John
In a weird way, isn't that the exact same thing?
Tyler
Go away.
John
They do incredible work, but if they've got this opinion where they're gonna cast off people for having a different thought process, do I still give him my money? Would you?
Tyler
I'm looking for another company.
John
Would you?
Tyler
Yeah.
John
Would you?
Brady
I'm with Brady.
John
That's kind of my dilemma. That's where I was sitting on that. I just.
Brady
There's other people that do the same thing, though, so it's not like they're the only company in town.
Tyler
A little bit of a pain trying.
John
To find, oh, these guys are especially good, I'm sure.
Brady
But I can't believe that there's not another company making prosthetics like that.
John
Why is it bad to take somebody's money that disagrees with you? Why?
Tyler
I don't understand. Well, it's just confusing. I mean, I know that the passions are obviously there on the belief system, but you're just turning down someone because you're a small company.
John
Yeah. You shouldn't turn anybody down.
Tyler
Then why you. Are you looking to get out of the business? Because that's a pretty good plan right there.
John
You vote red, he votes blue. Everybody's money votes green. Everybody's business votes green.
Brady
Like I always say, vote with your dollar.
John
Yeah.
Brady
I mean, you know, come on.
John
Their post underneath that, their comments said, if you don't treat folks how you like to be treated, you are not welcome here because of your lack of humanity. And, you know, I'm not a staunch Trump supporter by any means. I don't care for a lot of the things he does. There are some things I really like that he does. Same thing can be said about Biden. Although I will say that side of the aisle has gone insane. And their ideas that used to be good are now just seemingly lash outs. So I think they're a little lost, and I think their own. If you can't admit that. I definitely think the Republicans are a little bit lost, but at least they've got a direction. They may not like it, but at least they're focused on something.
Tyler
They're not as gay as they say they were.
John
Right. And then you get into that.
Brady
Is Pete running this company? Is this his new buddhajedge.com?
John
I'M struggling with this, though, because I don't know where my money goes most of the time. But if you announce it, then I have an Opportunity to make a decision. So if you announce, like, you know, if you voted for this person, you can't eat our food. All right, well, I don't like that. I didn't vote for the person you're talking about, but I don't like that. I don't like setting that standard because that's just not what we're supposed to be doing. And I thought maybe that would fall under, like a civilized go.
Tyler
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, well, this is what I need, Right?
John
There's stuff that good. It's like when Chick Fil A hated gays. Even gays were like, we gotta eat those waffle fries. Even Pete Buttigieg was there. I think that's what they like. During that whole crisis, Pete was eating there every day. I'm like, is he really gay?
Brady
Isn't like the. The gays that were suing that bakery? Yeah, because they wouldn't make him a wedding cake.
John
Right.
Brady
They said it up front, you know, okay, fine. Why would you give them your money?
John
Right. Yeah.
Brady
I don't care how great that cake.
John
Exactly. If they don't like you, why would.
Tyler
You want that cake being made?
Brady
Right.
John
Yeah. If. Because I've had taken the stand on people who scream out, if you did this, I don't want to be your friend anymore. And I'm like, I don't want to be anybody's friend who says that. If you can't see past anybody's differences. That happen a lot to me, that's the exact same thing as saying, I don't interact with blacks. And if you do, I'm not interested in you either. It's the same mentality. It may not be the same target.
Tyler
I hear that a lot with families. Like, I don't talk to that cousin anymore.
John
Yeah. Because it's ruined. Yeah.
Brady
It's ridiculous.
John
And I understand if it causes conflict in person, you know, I get that. But if you just basically say, oh, Brady's a good friend of mine. I like him a lot. And somebody goes, who did he vote for? Nevermind. We're not. I don't want to know you.
Tyler
Yeah.
John
Like, if you're not even gonna give this, it doesn't matter. He's still a good person. He's still fun. He's nice. I like him. I don't. Honestly, I think I know who you voted for, but I. We don't talk about it. It's not something. Brady, who did you vote for? Run it down the line. Because if it's. If anything's different on that page, you're out. You'd be like, I don't want to work for you. I don't want to work here. It doesn't make sense.
Tyler
So some of it, you go down the list and like, well, I like this name better than the other. I really didn't know this judge. And the voting.
John
I don't know any of the judges.
Tyler
Like, and then, oh, I'll just pass.
John
I didn't know you could skip it. So I used to always just sit there and labor over each judge. Yeah. Oh, I did.
Brady
Dean Martin got my vote every time. Or even the only one. I don't even know what he was running for. But Dean Martin, I'm in.
John
I voted for D. Martin.
Tyler
Yeah.
John
Brand. It's Brand Loyal. Yes, absolutely. I know this guy. Everybody. How you doing? Hey, guilty as charged for being hot as sin. I love this one. I plead insanity up here. I'm drunk. Your honor, please. Look, I'm Dean Martin. I get away with anything when the moon hits your eye. Court adjourned. I'm bored. This one says, yeah, John, the plight of the MAGA crowd is the exact same as the civil rights movement. Incredibly succinct point you made there. I didn't say it was the exact same. I don't know if you're yelling at me or if you're giving me credit. I didn't say it's the exact same. It's not the plight of the MAGA movement either. It's the tribalization of thought that you can't even. You're so weak you can't do business with somebody because what if they're just wonderful people who happen to have different political views? Is that possible in the mind of this company? It's like, they're amazing human beings. I hate their politics and they don't lead with it.
Tyler
Bottom line. It's disappointing.
John
Yeah. Because I really like their stuff and I've bought it in the past, but I don't really want to. I would do it the other way. So if you're yelling at me about the plight of the Magara, I'd do it the same way. If you're like, if you vot for Biden, I just think that's dumb. And I don't want to give money to people who are thought policing customers.
Brady
Especially when you say you're a small company just trying to make it. You can't afford to give away to influencers. You should be taking every dollar that comes in. Doesn't matter who it's from.
John
It's weird and it's the. Yeah. And it's odd because it comes from the group who are screaming about tolerance and acceptance.
Tyler
Does the owner know that the person.
John
I don't know. I don't know if it's the owner who does it.
Tyler
I know if it's. It sounds like it's small, that the person's doing everything.
John
Yeah, I don't know. I'm struggling with it because I'll tell you this, the struggle is really because as a guy who's in the middle and get crap for that, like, people want me to be one way or the other. And I'm like, well, some good ideas on both sides. I think they're both nuts. I think you got inmates running their asylums over there. Like, if you thought Biden was good, you're wrong. If you think Trump is good, most of the time, you're wrong. He does good stuff sometimes, though. And so did Joe or whoever was signing things. That pen of his. I don't know.
Brady
Hunter did.
John
Yeah. Maybe some stuff happened that was good. But.
Tyler
But then I can, you know, I can also understand, like, well, I'm still gonna buy the.
John
The stuff that's kind of where I'm at because it's so good. And then I gotta search and what if I find a company that's not as good, but they're like, they'll take your money. I don't know. They're so good. Their stuff is so good and it's comfortable. That's the worst part is, like, their stuff is light. You glue that crap all over your face. The last thing you want is it slipping or being heavy and you don't even know it's on. It's so good that the next day sucks because taking it off is hard because that. It just melds onto your face. And some of the stuff we've done for those Halloween shows have been high end, like super costumes. There's been a few that I'm like, in that chair for a long time. Anyway, we'll do it again. So you're saying, stop, don't do it. You wouldn't do it.
Tyler
That's enough to yes way me. It's like, why would you do that?
John
Best barbecue ever puts up a sign that says, you can't have our food. If you voted for yeah, Biden, you'd stop.
Brady
Go to number two.
John
I don't know. Food's different.
Brady
Yeah, if Brady saying it with food. Come on.
John
I don't believe him. He's in a life crisis with food right now. We can't really talk to him about.
Brady
He's wearing a shaky pizza.
John
Yeah, yeah, he's got a shaky pizza. He's going to eat that shirt before he's not allowed to have pizza. Adverse morning sickness. 88. Can you PD Holmberg's morning sickness. So it's tough for him. He's in a transcendental. Like, this is a. This is a moment. This is like his menopause.
Tyler
I'd like to say. I'd like to think. I would. I know I would. If the best. I mean, if you're saying the best barbecue, like, if we turn around and all sudden someone like steak 44 ocean 44 comes out and says this.
John
Yeah, you can't do this unless you voted the same way we did. Like, I'm out. Yeah, I think I am. All right. I think you can. Made up my mind. I agree with Tyler. All politicians are awful. Left, right, up, down. It doesn't matter. They don't care about you.
Brady
That's why they're politicians.
John
Exactly why they got into it. How those inner cities looking, Those politicians that always promise they're going to clean them up. Ever? No, never once. Okay. Yeah. That's all you need to know.
Brady
Joseph says that company is practicing bigotry.
John
That's what I think. And I don't want to look, that guy that emailed might be mad at me. I couldn't really gauge it off the email. I'm not comparing MAGA to the civil rights movement, but I was against the idea of the civil rights movement. I wasn't alive then. But when I see it, I'm like, why not let people announce they don't like blacks? If I was black, I'd want to know if the people inside hated me before I ordered a burger from them. If they had a sign that said no blacks allowed, I'd take my family. Like, we're not going in there. I'll spit all over our food there. And now. Thank you for letting us know. So, but this is a different one because it's kind of still discriminatory, but in a weird, like, acceptable way. I don't know. Let's just get back to whether or not Pete. See, and this is the thing. You're not. You're not helping. But it is funnier. That says, all right, Holmberg, those libtards, don't give them your green money. They can go to Russia and get some money if they want to be communist Nazis. All right, that's not helping. That's not an adult way. That is funny. Let's get Pete on the pole, for God's sake, can we just have some fun again, Nick? I says it's a new Christmas gimmick. They have elf on a shelf now. Pete on a pole. There you go. That's the way we work things around here anyway. All right, so I've made my choice. I will not be ordering from that company. Damn it. I got good stuff. Michael Jordan caught crap for that in the 90s. He was right. Republicans spend money, too, is what he said about. They tried that with him back in the 90s. Like, you're give a political statement. He's like, no, it'll screw things up for my business. That's terrible. Republicans spend money, too. And I'm selling shoes. That's all I'm doing. Like, you don't need to know about me that way. I sell shoes for a living. That's pretty much what I do. You never do that when you. Like they made Michael Jordan doing. He's a shoe salesman. You never go over to the Tom McCann and while the guy's like, what size are you? 12. But before we move on, who the hell did you vote for? Shoe salesman. Huh? And he's not asking me either. We just selling shoes.
Brady
Anyway, didn't he say it was. It's not about black or white.
John
It's about green. Yeah, he said that several times. But his big quote in that thing was, republicans spend money, too. I don't want to piss him off. They're like, coward. Look, I kind of just told you I'm a Democrat. And can you read between the lines on that statement?
Brady
I think he won.
John
I think Michael, look, that's how you win.
Brady
Yeah.
John
He kept his political beliefs to himself for the most part. Not really. We knew, but he didn't go screaming, don't buy my shoes if you didn't think like, I think it's dumb more than anything else. All right, Brady, I'll follow your advice and I'll get it. I'll get some cruddy stuff from some crap company that voted for Trump.
Brady
Halloween's open right now. You're fine.
John
Yeah. Spirit Halloween never has the signs of Spirit Halloween. Unless you voted for Trump, then get out. They wouldn't make any money.
Brady
There you go again. Tribal.
John
This is what it says. I bet if you order a mask that makes you look like you have down syndrome and ask for a MAGA hat on it, they'll do it. That's actually pretty funny idea. Maybe if you order their mentally retarded mask, it comes with a MAGA hat from Them, which I would find hysterical if they're going to go to that great length. But anyway, I saw that last night and I was like ready to click on buy. And I'm like, no. I don't know.
Tyler
Weird that they just. That now that it's out there.
John
Yeah. Well, frankly, that's the first time I paid attention.
Tyler
The epiphany for them. They're like, you know what? That's it. This is how I feel now.
John
Yeah, just delete us as a. Don't follow us and don't buy our stuff. Like, that's just dumb. And are they.
Tyler
Whatever article they saw or news thing or whatever or person they talk to.
John
But do they feel like I'd rather go out of business than take the money of somebody who thinks different than me? I think that might be apparently the dumbest. I don't think they teach that in business school. I don't think that's over there at W.P. carey here in town. They're like, look, only deal with it. That's why I got. Remember we did that one thing. We did that golf tournament and I was in that men's group and the guy that gave the speech ran insurance companies and said he only deals with Christians.
Tyler
His insurance company.
John
Yeah, he owned it. It was his deal. But he's like, and the good. The good Lord has only brought me Christians. That's not true. There's no way you can. But he asked. And only good Christians. So he was only giving insurance to people at his church and he was proud of it. And there I was, an atheist.
Tyler
He was blessed to be able to.
John
Do that as an atheist that needed his overpriced insurance. And I had to sit back and listen to that. And I. Well, you're off the list. That's dumb business. The good Lord has only brought me Christians for my business. I'm like, that's not what he does.
Tyler
You could have asked to got business from him. John, if you'd bend the knee.
John
Exactly. I need insurance. And I would have he give me a good rate at the time. I'd be like, does that come with a cross or should I buy my own? You're a good little soldier. Yes, I am. Lamb of God, 30% off.
Tyler
Sorry we can't assure you, but I remember companies we work with.
John
Yeah.
Tyler
Don't work with pagans.
John
And I remember people were like clapping and I turned to you and I'm like, that guy's a dick. Why? He just said he won't deal with you if you don't Think exactly like him. And it's insurance. That's against what he's. That's against his God. The last person that would say that.
Tyler
What he was saying was like, you don't realize what you're saying is you. You're only working with people of faith.
John
Yeah. And. And you could.
Tyler
So you're turning everyone else away. I don't think that's what he.
John
In the middle of the speech that he gave, I heard this thing in the sky just go. And it was Jesus hitting his. Of course it went. Because the hole in his hand. But then he hit himself right in the forehead. Yeah. I just don't get that. So. All right. I won't give the name of the company out of fairness because I think that's doing the same thing they're doing and that's done. Nobody needs to bomb them. But I think it's dumb. If you're running a business and you're playing that game, I don't know, you're gonna stick around. And if you do, good for you.
Tyler
But better think about giving out samples to that influencer now.
John
Yeah, maybe. Well, you've got to ask the influencer.
Brady
Depends on what they believe in.
Tyler
Yeah.
John
Yeah. I don't know. What if it was a Trump mask? What if I wanted a Trump mask? Would they build it or would it just be too abhorrent to try that?
Brady
It'd be like that guy said. It'd be downsy. I guarantee it.
John
Mental down. Hilarious. Anyway, it's just dumb. Stop being so dumb. Everybody.
Tyler
Curate. That makes me curious to throw that out there.
John
What?
Tyler
That idea.
John
Oh, yeah. They will.
Tyler
See what they respond.
John
Can I have a. But I want it to be really good. Got Melania one. Would they make Melania as pretty she actually is, or would they have some sort of a goof in it? Melania's hot. She sat in there yesterday with those billionaires. See that? So the billionaires met Trump and they're bending the knee. Zucker, schmuck. Remember him?
Tyler
Yeah.
John
He's sitting right next to Trump at this table. Tim Apple. I always call him out. I don't know his last name. Tim Jones. Tim something. Cook. Cook. There it is. And Bill Gates. And they're all like, you're doing a great job, Mr. President. I'm like, these dudes. What? Wow. This is a thing. Thank you very much. And Tim Apple's like, I'm gonna give $600 billion to America. That's really nice of you, Tim Apple. Thank you so very much. Excellent work. You guys are Very smart. Even you. Zucker Schmuck. It was right next to him. They're like, praising him. I'm like, but in the whole thing, all I saw was Melania. Melania should teach posture to everyone, right, left, and otherwise. That woman that is royalty sits up nice and straight. She's hot. But if I went to this company and said, I want to look like Melania, would they? They do like a one of those Genesis videos versions and make me look like Sid Marty Cr. Anyway, I just don't get it. I don't like the world that way. I'm just one of those innocent little lambs trying to walk through Make a Day Brady. And nobody's pushing you. Look at her yesterday. Look at how straight up and down she sits. Especially because Trump's such a slob. His posture's horrible. But Bill Gates is a good foot and a half shorter than her, and she is just towering. She's the only lady at the table that I can see, and she is a stunner.
Brady
Tim Apple.
John
Turns out Tim Apple's been faking it. Him and Pete. Tim Apple's faking it. Look at that. Zucker Schmuck's laughing. I call him Zucker Schmuck. I have no problem with him. I just think that's one of the funnier nicknames any president's ever given anyone. Then I gotta deal with Zucker Schmuck. And the next thing you know, they're sitting next to each other at some dinner praising each other. That's how you know right there is how you know your politics don't matter. They hated each other a half hour ago. But when they're greasing each other's palms, it's, everything's fine. I don't care about you. Why you guys all get wrapped up.
Tyler
In his resting face Jumps.
John
Oh, yeah, look at him staring at my gorgeous wife. Jealous Melania whispering, look at how hot she is now. I don't care if you're left or right. You can hate her all you want. She's hot. I want to ask everybody out there who's super far gone, left, if Melania offered you a bj, would you take it? Well, yeah.
Brady
I mean, I'm not, but yeah.
John
Joe Biden. No, no, Jill. Nancy Pelosi in her prime.
Brady
Well, maybe back in the 50s or.
John
Something when she was some sweet meat hooks up top. She's in that picture with Kennedy. She was trying to get Kennedy to banger.
Brady
He was banging everybody else. Figured, why not?
John
I. I'll be back for you in A couple of years. You're young. I'm 15 years old. All right, one year. You have to be able to drive yourself away from the White House before I stick it in. She was trying to ban Kennedy and he would have done it. She looked good in that picture. I mean, it's 1960, so it's. That's the, you know, the weird hair and the too much clothes, but still. I don't like Pelosi's politics. I think she's insane. Put out a rifle to her panty drawer. She gave me the chance in the 60s, well, 70s maybe. Probably too. She's probably.
Brady
Yeah, but not in 2025.
John
You know what? Just for fun. Yeah. That weird lip licking thing and those gigantic earlobes. I don't know. Stop it, Brady. Nobody can see what you're doing and it's disgusting. He's trying to do his impression. No, he can't. I just see it. Stop doing that. Yeah. At 7:34, what do you got in the big board of musical treats? Now that we've solved my dilemma?
Brady
Wake Up Song brought to you by Action Ride Shop. And they don't care how you voted. They're going to sell you a new pivot. They're going to sell you a new bike. And don't forget they got the big Labor Day special going on.
John
It's.
Brady
Well, it's going on through the seventh there. Snow gear on sale, all the bikes used new and of course, all the gear to go along with it. Both locations right there at Gilbert Road and Southern the og and of course the brand new one at power Road and McDowell. Check out the. All the socials to find out the specials. They got. They got some great deals going on right now.
John
Action rideshop.com Guy says, I don't care if Putin wants to buy children's caskets for me. Whatever puts fuel in my boat, I'll deliver them myself. That's right, Bass. Both those kid caskets over to Russia.
Tyler
Get the Pivot Donkey bike or the Pivot elephant bike.
John
Huh? Oh, I see. Yeah, Political bike. You get a red one or a blue one and scream out who you voted for in the mountain trails and nobody cares. You're making a fool of yourself.
Brady
On the list, Black Sabbath.
John
Slipknot.
Brady
Spit it out for Dak. Saliva your disease. For Dak, new disease from Spine Shank for Deck Lightning crashes for the game last night. Ride the lightning. And of course, you know this one was going to come up. Judas Priest Turbo for Pete Snot. My balls for Pete. And Spinal Tap. Big bottom for what Pete likes.
John
We're not playing the big bomb. Static X loves big balls is not for Pete. We're hoping that he's not gay because then they'd have to prove big bottom.
Brady
Is what Pete loves.
John
I know he likes the big bottom. My balls. I know they're going on the ass thing. I want him to. I want him to be straight. I want him to be straight and then have to awkwardly fumble around with some nuts on pay per view to prove that he deserved this. That's just my dream. I know it's not going to happen, but make them prove it has to come up here.
Tyler
The fact that it's thrown out there.
John
Please make this a big deal, everyone. Write your congressman today, immediately. Let's get this on tv, please. This guy said, I didn't know. I just looked up Nancy Pelosi when she was in college. Yep, I on that one. All right. Thank you for that, Kyle. Classy. Let's do a little Slipknot. Spit it out for Dak and Jalen's thing last night. Spitting on each other like crazy. That's a good one. Slipknot's always a good way to start a Friday, too. I don't think so.
Brady
I don't think you get it.
John
I know I don't. Actually. There's no way that's in our system.
Brady
Spread could be from Toledo.
John
No, I just have all the. Nope, I don't have it. You have to pull up the lyrics. Oh, I will. All right, we'll get that together. You have it ready? I'm worried. Now you got me scared.
Brady
I'll have it here in a second.
John
Now we're on. This is how we're. We're making sure that we don't cuss at you, even though it's fun. All right, I got it. I'm ready. Ready. You ready? I'm ready. Okay, I think we're good. All right, here we go. Knock it out. I'll get it. No cussing. So far, it's slipknot, everybody. It's 98. It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fees. I have heard enough of this.
Title: Mike Tyson Announces His Next Fight · Tucker Carlson Claims Pete Buttigieg Isn’t Gay · Should Your Money Go to Only Companies You Align With
Date: September 5, 2025
Host: John Holmberg
Co-Hosts: Brady Bogen, Tyler, Dick Toledo
Podcast: 98KUPD – Arizona
This episode of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness is a freewheeling and irreverent discussion covering major headlines: the spectacle of Mike Tyson challenging Floyd Mayweather to a fight, Tucker Carlson’s odd claim that Pete Buttigieg is secretly straight, and the ethics of spending your money only with businesses that share your political or social views. The crew jumps from sports lampooning to political absurdity, and then into a challenging contemporary debate about business morality, all with their signature sarcasm and edge.
"When a 60-year-old boxer wants to fight...a 50-year-old boxer, two completely wildly different weight classes, it's just dumb and it's stealing. And please, for God's sakes, let’s send the message as a group: we don’t want to watch this.”
— John [10:47]
“If one of them faked gay and we caught him and we have to have him prove it and he either does or doesn’t, who’s the winner in that? The audience. Because I’m here for the laughs, I don’t care about politics anymore.”
— John [21:10]
“I don’t like anybody who says, ‘my business is small, we can’t do anything for you’, and then says, unless you believe exactly the same way I do, I don’t want you to follow us, or be part of my business... In a weird way, isn’t that the exact same thing [as discrimination]?”
— John [36:40]

The episode is blunt, satirical, and unapologetically irreverent. The hosts approach politics, sports, and culture with a hybrid of dark humor and social commentary, provoking laughs as often as critical thinking. They take few things seriously, except for their distaste of groupthink, exclusionary attitudes, and public hypocrisy.
For listeners new to the show:
You’ll get irreverence, open debate, unfiltered humor, and a willingness to say what others only think — all in pursuit of entertaining, provoking, and sometimes disturbing the audience.
