Main Discussion: Processing the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

1. Impact and Reactions to the Event

[00:00–10:50]

• John opens the show expressing how the previous day's events "knocked me on my ass," reflecting the impact of witnessing the assassination from multiple angles via circulated videos.
• Multiple hosts discuss the emotional toll of seeing such violence, referencing how news and internet culture amplify these events, leaving people demoralized and anxious.

Notable Quote:

“Yesterday knocked me on my ass. I kept getting people to send me videos and... it was awful.”
— John [01:07]

• John compares his feelings to post-Columbine and 9/11—a fundamental sense of societal vulnerability and the difficulty of returning to ‘normal’ banter in the aftermath.

Notable Quote:

“I called my boss and said, we should probably take tomorrow off. It’s going to be hard to do a morning show when everybody’s got this black cloud. Plus it’s 9/11.”
— John [06:57]

---

2. Free Speech, Open Dialogue, and Campus Culture

[02:02–06:57, 16:23–18:57, 33:14–35:09]

• John praises Charlie Kirk’s debate skills — even as someone who doesn't always agree with him — and warns against the rising inclination to cancel speakers or suppress opposing viewpoints, particularly on college campuses.

Notable Quote:

“If anything comes out of this, to me, as people who are well-spoken... more of you need to speak, not less. I already saw yesterday that college campuses are canceling speakers and seminars... that is the exact opposite of what must go down.”
— John [02:41]

• The team reflects on the danger of silencing dissent and how “Truth loves scrutiny.”

• The relationship between emotional (as opposed to logical) responses and violence is explored, including the observation that anger at others’ words often signals insecurity in one’s own position.

Notable Quote:

“If you feel... angry, that’s always meant to me that you don’t have an opinion, you have a thought.”
— John [04:24]

---

3. The Role of the Internet and Media Exposure

[14:50–18:57, 38:20–39:39]

• Widespread distribution of the assassination video is seen as not only traumatizing for those directly affected but also “normalizing” such violence for the public.
• Concerns raised for younger generations—kids and teens are exposed with no filter, which may have lasting psychological impacts.

Notable Quote:

“In today’s world, a nine-year-old kid just watched Charlie Kirk get half his head blown off on Instagram... What is this psychologically doing to regular people?”
— Listener Jeremy (read by John) [38:20]

• Brady, as a parent, discusses the difficulty of protecting his daughter from such content and the importance of talking about these events as a family.

---

4. Division in America and Historical Parallels

[11:50–16:11, 141:01–142:34]

• The team discusses how 9/11, initially a unifying event, ultimately exacerbated political and social divisions—a pattern echoed in today’s violence.
• John notes the cyclical nature of outrage and polarization, warning that “the domino trickle effect from that very day [9/11] I think... divided and divided and divided.”

Notable Quote:

“We built a new building. We didn’t win that. That was a big L. And it remains a big L. And stuff like yesterday, I think, the domino trickle effect from that very day.”
— John [14:20]

---

5. The Unintended Weight of Public Commentary

[06:01–07:50, 60:49–61:16]

• John opens up about his own anxieties as a public figure, feeling vulnerable to threats simply for expressing opinions on air.
• The assassination feels chillingly close to home for those in the ‘arena’ of public discourse.

Notable Quote:

“I live in that world... It weighs on you because that one person... might just say ‘I don’t like that he says things I disagree with.’”
— John [06:01]

---

6. Callers’ Perspectives & Fireside Chat

[44:41–51:31]

Listener calls add immediacy and depth, including:

• Donovan (Veteran): Warns about the dangers of “othering” and recounts his traumatic experience in Iraq, arguing that glorifying violence leads only to tragedy and loss of faith.
  “If people saw what I saw, we would all be a lot calmer... there is nothing glorious about it.” — Donovan [46:01]
• Tank (Call-in): Pushes back on jumping to conclusions about motive, cautions about assumptions; discusses how with free speech comes responsibility and consequences, drawing a line at true incitement.
  “As an American, yes, we have the freedom of speech, but it doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want.” — Tank [47:52]
• Mike (Late-life Christian): Offers his faith perspective, saying that his turn to God improved his life, but reaffirming the importance of respectful dialogue.
  “I had a blood work done... prayed to God... That was a turning point... I got baptized soon after and left the sport of bodybuilding... I’m a better person because of it.” — Mike [54:43]
• Jake (Caregiver): Struck by the video’s violence, expresses his own sense of fragility and the shock he and his young friends feel—“that can just happen in an instant.” [57:16]

The hosts emphasize letting all viewpoints air out—without shouting others down.

---

7. Living With Difference — The Crew’s Personal Code

[30:04–32:20, 33:14–35:09]

• John and Brady discuss the foundation of their 30-year friendship: profound disagreement on faith that never devolved into anger or disrespect.
• The capacity to “hear” and even respect—but not necessarily agree with—opposing views is depicted as a key social value.

Notable Quote:

“We’ve been friends for 30 years... I’ve never been like, ‘I can’t hang out with him.’ That’s dumb. Dumb people do that.”
— John [31:46]

---

8. The Power (and Dangers) of Viral Video

[66:02–68:15]

• The group ponders whether catastrophic events would feel as poignant or divisive without repeated exposure to violent videos.
• Parallels are drawn to historical events (Kennedy assassination, Ray Rice incident): seeing violence has an outsized impact compared to only hearing about it.

“You see it... and it changes things. It changes your perception on what you saw.” — John [66:09]

---

9. Audience Emails: Free Speech, Gun Rights, Blaming “Sides”

[38:20–41:50, 41:50–44:13]

• Listeners write in various viewpoints:
  • Defending Kirk’s past pro-gun stance, even as some conflate it with the manner of his death.
  • Pushing back against the "both sides" narrative, demanding John name right-wing shooters.
  • Others thank the show for acknowledging the pain and divisiveness, but urging that people’s right to openly celebrate or condemn should still be protected—as long as it remains non-violent.

---

Lighter Segments & Comic Relief

10. Surreal Arizona Localism & Humor

[74:37–79:50, 81:22–84:44]

• A blend of news-of-the-weird (e.g. Chinese bathroom toilet paper dispensers that require you to watch ads), office bathroom “butt crushers,” public pooping etiquette, and more.
• Local in-jokes (Phoenix traffic, office characters) and relentless friendly ribbing between crew members.

---

11. Special Guest: Keegan Tindall, Comedian

[108:15–130:55]

• Keegan, in his first time west of Texas, entertains with stories about his Philadelphia family (including his dad’s roommate “Bones”), being a burn survivor after a horrific accident, and how trauma shaped his comedy.
• Even in heavy weeks, the show maintains its tone: dark comedy, self-deprecation, and warmth.

---

12. “Fireside Chat” Rules and Tone

[33:14–35:09, 51:31–62:11]

• Holmberg’s policy: listeners are welcome to express any viewpoint as long as it’s calm—whether it’s “I’m glad he’s gone,” grief, or something else.
• The show provides catharsis by being a (slightly) safer room than the internet. “If you got something to say, say it. You’re not going to get shouted down here.” [33:14]

---

Reflection, Moving Forward, and Closing Messages

[67:05–70:03, 167:58–171:40]

• John urges listeners to self-reflect before firing off angry responses online or in public.
• Affirms the show’s basic contract with its audience: “laugh or turn it off.”
• Encourages everyone to “start with exhaling,” respect differences, and realize how volatile and fragile society currently is—for better and worse.
• On “taking sides”: John closes by rejecting the idea that “the shooter represents the left,” instead demanding we see madness for what it is: “He does not represent that side of America.” [72:09]

---

Final Thoughts

In a uniquely difficult moment—both for the nation and for the show—the hosts of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness demonstrate how local radio can serve as a lightning rod for grief, debate, venting, and ultimately, community solidarity. Through their humor, honesty, and commitment to airing even uncomfortable views, they model the kind of dialogue America strives for but often struggles to achieve.

Transcript

[John]

You're listening to the HMS Podcast, brought to you by MMP Guns.com, your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories. Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Thursday. It's 5:45. This is the Morning Sickness. My name is John. There's Brady, there's Brett, and there's Big Dick Toledo. And off we go. Oh, what fun it is to have a wacky, fun morning show today. That's for sure. I'm just going through the emails and the one that stands out right away, we all know what happened says I'm over the Internet, man. The events. After today's events, I'm just leaving myself, trying to feel better about stuff. I caught myself feeling bad for you while listening to the podcast, knowing what was going on and also knowing you've got to wake up, try to talk about this and get around it. So I appreciate all you do and stay strong or don't. Everything is absurd and pointless. Yeah, nihilism is winning the day. Thank you, Kenneth. But it's just, yeah, yesterday was a. Yesterday knocked me on my ass. There's been times when, you know, stuff happens and you're like, oof, that was a tough blow. That was a punch. And you know, new level. Go through all these stories every day and pay attention to the news and most of the time have fun making fun of like local news stories or somebody who did something dumb. And it's all kind of like temporarily meaningless or silly like that Yesterday knocked me on my ass. I and I think part of it has to do with the fact that I saw it from six angles. I kept getting people to send me videos and I. It was awful. And Charlie Kirk, who agree with him or disagree with him. I always admire people who are incredibly articulate and well spoken and there's maybe nobody currently like him morale or was who could be that articulate, well spoken, well founded in his argument and bringing, you know, bringing what we all say.

[Brett]

We should all talk, we should all.

[John]

Get together opposing viewpoints and all this stuff. And that's exactly what that dude did. You didn't have to agree with him. I found myself, you know, as an atheist, seeing that Charlie Kirk leaned too much into religion for his argument. I'll tell you this, watching him debate on those college campuses, that is a human being who was probably the closest if not accomplished person on changing my mind completely and making me see that an argument about abortion falls apart so very easily. And I'm not an anti abortionist and I'm not, I'm like, I've said for years, my argument for abortion is it's your choice, whore. And that's my mean way of saying you have sex, you run the risk of having kids. That's how you make them. So take responsibility. But I also don't think it's my place to do that. But I watched his argument on abortion and it is so incredibly good and so smart and brings up points that make it so the average person's argument falls apart against it because it's not emotional, it's logical and emotion comes into play and starts making people angry. And that's what one thing. So if anything comes out of this, to me as people who are well spoken, people who do have thoughts that are clear and cogent, but also are willing to listen to someone else, more of you need to speak, not less. I already saw yesterday that college campuses are canceling speakers and seminars. And I'm like, that's the opposite of what needs to happen. That is the exact opposite of what must go down. College campuses suck. And they always have. Everybody's like, this is a place where freedom of speech. No, it isn't. It's a place where people who think they've figured the world out at 19 finally get to scream out. So they'll yell about Palestinians and they'll yell about things they don't even know on a map, but they just want to be active. They want to say something. That's the healthy part of it.

[Brady]

You know, in fairness, for years on college campuses, that's.

[John]

No, that's right.

[Brady]

That's what it's supposed to.

[John]

That's what it's supposed to be. You yell and scream, but that's the thing. You're wrong a lot of the time. But that's okay.

[Brady]

Yeah, they let it. They let it happen.

[John]

That's okay.

[Brady]

I think of the movie. It's stupid, but it's that one that politically correct, I think, where he's on the college campus, it's PC.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Pcu. They got all these different factions doing all.

[John]

It's making an exaggeration, the whole thing. It is, yeah. I also think that if you, if you get mad at what somebody else is saying and it's expressing a viewpoint that's a little different than yours and you're angry. That has always meant to me that you don't have an opinion, you have a thought. And if you don't have an opinion that stands up to a couple of questions, then you have to look at yourself and say, oh, I don't know what I'm Talking about this isn't holding up to scrutiny. Truth and scrutiny are best friends. Truth loves scrutiny. Truth loves questions. It holds up to it. So if you feel. Again, my argument always goes back to two plus two is four. If somebody wants to tell me it's five, I'll listen to him for a second. But I'm never going to get mad because I know it's four. And when you know your answer and you know your feelings and you know your thoughts and you're solid in your foundation, you don't get mad, you don't scream, and you certainly don't kill anyone. Watching that dude yesterday who was just doing what we all would should be doing, maybe he's a little antagonistic, and maybe he's a little angry, and maybe he's a little for some people's taste. But it doesn't matter that no one. I don't care if it was Kamala Harris, far left. If it was, you know, aoc, like socialists that Zoran Mandani got, nobody deserved to be shot for just saying, here's what I think, and I'll be honest. I think the reason it knocked me on my ass is because for years, without even realizing it, and I do this when I walk to my car or walk from my car in the morning. We all sit in here. We're all in that sort of.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Not.

[John]

Not to the extreme of Charlie Kirk, but we're in that arena where we get emails from people who have lost their minds. Oh, yeah, we get. And I. And it, without realizing it weighs on me. Yesterday made me realize it weighs on me that every morning I get out of the car before I get out of the car. I look around every day. I will wait in the car if there's someone in our parking lot. And it's not out of fear. It's like I don't know this person. I don't know what. I don't know what that unhinged human being out there heard me say took wrong and might be standing right there. I'm an easy hit, and it's on my mind. I walk out of this building every day pretty much same time. I get here about the same time from I'm easy to find. And it weighs on you because it's like that one person that just doesn't have anything connected might just say, I don't like that he says things I disagree with. I live in that world. Charlie Kirk was much better at it than I'll ever be.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John]

But I live in that world and that I think that's why it knocked me on my ass. It reminded me in 1999 when I first started radio on the mornings. It was August of 98, and it was fun. And I'm goofing around and, you know, I'm 26, whatever, and I'm having a blast and goofing on this and having fun with that. Getting paid to do jackassery that I had done my entire high school life, all through my days at Tony Roma's, my friends, I was. I was finally the guy that could, you know, hey, he's finally fun and funny. He could now found a way to work it. And then the world said, hey, jackass, handle this. And Columbine happened. And I remember that same feel. I had that same feeling yesterday. Columbine had to do with this. And I called. I called my boss. I'm like, we should probably take tomorrow off. It's going to be hard to. To do a morning show and be fun and goofy when everybody's kind of got this black clown. Plus, it's 9 11, which isn't exactly the most, you know, happy anniversaries. And I remember calling him and he just said, look, you're gonna have to face these things if you're gonna be up there doing this every day. This is. This is not. This is not. It was. Paul Peterson, who worked at KDKB for years, was my boss. And he said, this is not something you're not gonna have to get used to, because unfortunately, this happens. This is the kind of crap that happens. Talk to my buddy Chuck Powell about it. He goes, the worst day he ever had in his life as a. As a career was being on a news station when Sandy Hook happened. And he goes, I realized I was so out of my depth, I didn't want to talk about this stuff. I didn't want to report this news as it was coming to me. I hated it. And that's what yesterday did. Yesterday was one of those things. And everybody's got a. Everybody's got a thought.

[Brady]

You could see a couple of those reporters, you know, a different news service, all sent, kind of, you know, couple breakdown.

[John]

Oh, it's breakdown worthy. Yeah, it really, truly is breakdown worthy. But the last thing this needs to do is make people quiet. Here's the other thing that's going to piss people off. Let the people that are celebrating this do sucks. But there's people on the Internet with signs that say, yay, Charlie. Kirk's dead. Finally. I love this. There was like a little dance on this. Let Them do it because your beliefs are not affected by their idiocy. So you have a strong feeling about how you feel. Let them do it. You can be angry about it. You can be like, that's gross. But that's them. So long as they're not doing anything violent or anything like that. It's the exact same thing as saying something wonderful. That's the world we live in. You have got to allow everybody to say things no matter what those things are. Freedom of speech is freedom to say things other people don't like. And we all sit and rally around the flag and scream about politics and everything else. But if you really are a freedom of speech person, you have to allow people to say things that you don't like. The Klan is allowed to say stuff. Terrible people are allowed to say things. And we have to allow that because we've lost the plot when it comes to somebody we disagree with making us mad. And all that says to me is, you don't really know what you believe or you wouldn't be angry when somebody says, you should believe different. It's a fact.

[Brady]

That was the first time for me yesterday when it happened in my, you know, you guys can high five each other for not having kids, but my daughter's dead. Did you see Charlie Kirk getting shot?

[John]

And she's got, she's got the phone in the videos.

[Brady]

All those angles.

[John]

Brutal.

[Brady]

It doesn't, I mean, whatever the age is, you get out of phone.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brady]

You saw nothing pixelated. And there's everything from distant shots to close up. And it's just weird. I'm like, I don't know how I feel you're looking at this. But then again, she's, you know, 16 years old, 17.

[John]

I didn't even know it happened until you guys sent that stuff over with these dicks sending that. Whoa.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

On our thr, on our thread, right. I was, I was blown away. And I, I, I got a text from a cop friend who had like an angle I hadn't. I, that was the first angle I saw. And then everybody had that far away one. The first angle I saw, I'm like, oh my God, he's dead now. Yeah. Like there was no. And, and I honestly think that he, he didn't make it to the hospital. Very Kennedy esque in the. He's gone. Let's just figure out how we're going to present this to the family and then let somebody make the announcement because. And it was Trump who made the announcement. Like, he basically was the one who said he's gone. And I think that means that they all knew that. I mean, it was. No.

[Brady]

The cars to get out of there, because where they had the park to the side because everyone was running.

[John]

It's.

[Lisa]

So Alex's buddy Kyle that he went to. He went to high school with was. He goes to school at that, at that university.

[John]

Oh, no kidding.

[Lisa]

Him and his mom were there and another buddy of his was there, and his buddy was. Was closer up front. And Alex was talking to them and said, it's.

[John]

They're.

[Lisa]

They're pretty scarred. Oh, it's because, I mean, you see it.

[John]

Yeah.

[Lisa]

And then Kyle's mom doesn't know how to. How to, you know, have the conversation with Kyle because they were both there. They were just wanting to. To see what. What it was all about.

[John]

Yeah. And I, Yeah, I can't imagine having been there and all those people whose lives, you know, and then I, you know, I have my moments where I'm watching people say things that bother me beyond belief, which are, oh, he's with Jesus now, looking down, smiling. And I'm like, could Jesus have done this a little quieter then? Because it ruined a lot of lives, what happened. I mean, his wife and two kids. I didn't realize they lived in Scottsdale. I. You know, so, I mean, those things bug me. But it's okay to say it. It's whatever comforts that person. And you have to just kind of reset your brain. We have got to. We won't. I'm going to be a cynic again. We won't. Nine, 11. I remember for two days, everybody's like, enough bull. Enough. Let's stop all this. This is. This. This. Everybody's like, oh, it's more divided than it's ever been. We had a civil war. We've always, We've always had division. There's been. Ask a black guy if it's more divided today than it was then. Ask somebody, you know, back in, you know, when immigrants were here if it was more divided then or now. We've always been a divided group. In the 90s, I remember it was incredibly uncomfortable. Rush Limbaugh show screaming about how don't do anything if a Democrat asks you. It's always been like this. It's just louder because of the Internet. So we feel, we feel it more. Yeah, we're just inundated with info. But 9, 11, for two solid days, I'm like, wow, this is actually the first time I've ever felt like we're all on the same team. Like, we're not adversaries. We're teammates. And then I flew back to my house in California or drove back, and my neighbor had a sign that said, nuke him till the ground glows. And somebody was yelling at him in his front yard. And I'm like, we're not gonna last. We're not gonna make it. Like, this dude might have a feeling. He might just be angry and have. That he shouldn't put that sign in is one. But he did. And then somebody. Lady took it upon herself to walk to his house and start screaming at him about, that's not how we handle problems. You can't kill people because they kill. I'm like, oh, boy, we're fragile as ever. And it's gonna be about another week before this turns into my side, your side. And we're doing exactly what was designed to do on this day 24 years ago, which was, let's piss them off, make them fight each other. And we fell for it. 911 was a win. Not for us, for people who hate us. It was a complete win. It still is. It caused a housing crisis. It caused us to fight harder than we've ever fought with each other. Divide everything about our thoughts and beliefs, plus politicized, tribally. Politicize each other and. And then just move on. And they sit back and laugh and we're like, we won. We built a new building. We. We didn't. We didn't win that. We did not win that. That was a big L. And it remains a big L. And stuff like yesterday, I think this. The domino trickle effect from that very day, I think that was one of those. So we divided and divided and divided.

[Brady]

I'll go so far. I don't think there's anyone that won on it. The people that we think that won.

[John]

They won ideologically, but ideologically they won. They are the results.

[Brady]

What they wanted for where they're. I mean, it just created more war.

[John]

All they wanted to do was divide us. Anything happened after that, they didn't care if they died after. They were happier, but it didn't make.

[Brady]

Their situation any better.

[John]

They didn't care. Their goal was to knock it down and watch us run around like, you know, rats with lights on. They search for freedom. Yeah. Yeah. They weren't fighting for land or anything else. We went over and started to blow them up. And they're like, look what we made them do. They're furious and they're. They're lashing out. They look like lunatics are standing in the world looked worse. And it Continues to kind of be that way. That was a win. That was 100% win. And it's a shame because a lot of people died just for that nonsense. And yesterday I think was, you know, it's not directly correlated, but there's definitely a vibe in the, in the country that divides us to make it to where dude who can't sit and just debate. College kids who are the loudest wrong people on the planet. Young 17 to 234 year olds are the loudest wrong people. I was one of them. You were one of them. We all think we had it figured out because we were allowed to be adults. And so you'd go scream at colleges like, I've learned something new and I'm going to. This is my foundation now. You just learned it. You don't know what you're talking about. And unfortunately now there's like 55 year olds and the Internet will give them a headline or MSNBC or Fox will give them a headline and they're like, I've just learned this. I now have this feeling about it. But it's an emotion. It's not.

[Lisa]

Not only have you not learned it, you haven't lived anything.

[John]

No.

[Lisa]

At that point. So you have to have both in order to kind of have any kind of an experience and really kind of have a valued opinion on what's going on.

[John]

No, you don't. You have a thought.

[Lisa]

Yeah. You have an idea.

[John]

Don't have a foundational like opinion or feeling about it. Like you don't have a, a solid concrete.

[Brady]

And that's what the, the professors are there too, supposedly. You know, they're introducing to those ideas.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And that's where they're getting it.

[John]

No, they're getting it from the Internet. The Internet is what I'm saying.

[Brady]

When you're going to that class, you're being taught. And I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just saying you all sudden are inspired by. But there's a lot of the.

[Lisa]

But there's so few of those teachers. Like, you're going to university for math, you're going to university for English. You have to be in a pol or like, you know, a philosophy class or something like that before anybody presents you with any kind of ideas along those lines.

[John]

Internet information has made us all crazy and it's made unhinged people not know how to handle when they hear something they don't agree with. Instead of being rational going, I disagree. They lose their minds because what they feel deep down inside has no base right so they're angry that somebody's trying to change their mind and maybe making sense. So then they're just saying you're dumb. That's all dumb people here when they're being disagreed with is you're dumb. And when you get angry at someone else's thoughts, you are dumb. You're being dumb because you're being emotional and not logical. And that is where this stuff accelerates. With a really stupid person who happens to be a sharpshooter. That's a dangerous combination. But they're out there.

[Lisa]

You're being concerned that your foundation is crumbling. Like anything that you. You try and stand on. When somebody has a different opinion of you, that takes a little brick away from your foundation and people can't handle it.

[John]

Yeah, I just, I just don't like, you know, bring it back to. And I don't want to sit and talk about this crap. I don't know. I'm here for the jokes. I always say that this is one of those. Is one of those things you just don't. You don't ignore. And I just emailed this says, Charlie Kirk assassination really is one of those world altering events. As a cop, I feel very uneasy with what the effects of this will be. Charlie Kirk was an advocate for the First Amendment. And being taken out while fighting for freedom for all Americans should be concerning for everyone. Thanks for acknowledging how important this is. That's ex. David, thank you. Or Derek. I'm sorry, that's. Yeah, that's. This is important for some reason. This is not old man important. This isn't. This is like an important moment. It's not about a side. Yeah, stop it. And that's the thing I'm most worried about. Republicans fighting back. Unhinged. Right. People taking out one of theirs.

[Lisa]

Well, they already did two senators in Minnesota. Well, I know there's been that kind of political strife on.

[John]

They're going back and forth on things. This one's different. This one was an accomplishment. This is the first political assassination that succeeded since I think either was it rfk. Yeah, I think this is the first one. They actually did it. And again, the Internet's no good because we all got to watch it from multiple angles. We all got to watch his body get charted out of there. He was dead then. And it's just awful. And it's like, you know, and somebody, you know, a person I like very much who is politically a little bit different than me, you know, I mean, takes a hard line on one side and I'm just not that. And that's fine, too, by the way. And I get a lot of crap for that on the emails.

[Brett]

Take a stand, man.

[John]

Pick a side. No, I don't want to be on either side. This is the reason why I don't like either side. He texted me and he said, is anyone really surprised Charlie Kirk is dead? That's not the response, but because I respect him, I. I said, I am. And I don't ever want to lose that feeling as a human being. I never want to lose the feeling where I look at somebody and go, well, he deserved that for talking, for his opinions. And I kind of told him, I live in that arena a little bit. So this one hits me differently. And he said, no, no, I didn't mean it that way. He say, is anyone really surprised in this culture that some idiot couldn't hear him and had to do this? And I'm like, nah, that's a different question. Is anyone really. Am I surprised someone did this? No. Am I shocked? Absolutely. Yeah. Am I surprised he got shot for his words? Yes. Because I want to remain that person. I want to remain the person that says, guy's just talking. He's just saying what he believes. And he's actually so insanely articulate, so well spoken. And I admire that more than sports, which is a weird thing, because I love sports so much. But I admire somebody that can go up and make a cogent point and look at you and say, man, that dude not only has educated himself, he's well thought out. He expresses himself. This is why I hang out with Brady. Just. I like articulate people. No, it's just. It's a. It's a thing where I had to throw that in there. But, like, I admire that so much. I admire somebody who can use their words so brilliantly that it can manipulate you in positive or negative ways. I find it fascinating. I find all that stuff amazing. Wordplay is. Is a gift. We are. We have language. We have the. It's unbelievable to be able to take words and do things with them and make people's brains start. You know, that hamster starts running. Unfortunately, in this culture, the brain. The hamster starts running, and he starts running to a gun or a rock or whatever. It doesn't matter. And then I hear gun control arguments. I'm like, I'm out. I'm not listening to any of this. You're hindsight policing the hell out of this. But it does. I. And it just. It makes me think to myself, how many days I've sat in that Car in the morning and done a 360. Okay, we're good. And I'm not scared, and I'm not doing it like, oh, somebody's gonna get me. I'm doing it because it's just a natural moment for me to go, I might have said something yesterday. I'll get the email. And usually I get an email from somebody who's mad, and then I'll just. Oddly enough, we'll Charlie Kirk it. I'll email him back and I'll be like, look, I get it. You're angry and you have every right to be. That's fine. But let's talk about this. We had an incident here at the station a while ago, caused a huge fight between Trip and I. Owners was a mess. And the reason that I was angry was because they were speaking on my behalf insanely badly. They were doing a terrible, in my opinion, a terrible job of defending or representing me. And then came to me and said, here's what happened. And I disagreed with all of it. And I had some job to do and I didn't do it well, and I wasn't gonna do it. And it was basically like, look, allow me in the conversation. I'm okay. I'm pretty good at this. So if somebody's mad at me, they still may be mad at the end, but give me a chance to say something. I'm not. I'm not a lunatic.

[Lisa]

What anybody should have the right to do.

[John]

Yeah. And it was a big problem. But there's the thing. Allow it. Somebody emails me mad, I'll email them back. And not. It's not 100% across the board. I win them over. But sometimes at the end, they'll at least have heard me. Hopefully have heard me. Some people are blind. They'll scream, typing, screaming angry things. They missed the point or whatever was going on. Email back and I'm like, hey, just for. Just for letting you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, will happen back. And you. You can still be mad. That's fine. It doesn't bother me. But just know this is. This is kind of what I. You're an. Okay, we're not getting through this guy. He's just mad. He's. He's running around screaming. He's. He's a. You know, something burned him and he's running. And I get it.

[Lisa]

There's something else in his world that's.

[John]

And usually. Remember that guy that emailed me one of my. It was. It was the Gilbert goons. Dad lost his mind, was calling, trying to get me Fired. He didn't ever listen to the show. He's like, you're an asshole. You're the. He's the one who caused the. The. What do you call me something? Juneaus. Howard Stern want to be. And we made fun of that for a little bit, and I got him on that. And then a year later, he emails and says, I was drinking a lot. I was angry at this. I had this going on, and I took it out on you, and I just. You're not going to. And I told him, I won't accept your apology, which I have a right to do. Also, I didn't. I still don't. When you tried to destroy me because you have problems at home, that's where we lose it. That's where it's all gotta stop. Hey, this is Sarah. Look, I'm standing out front of a.m. p.m. Right now and, well, you're sweet and all, but I found something more fulfilling, even kind of cheesy, but I like it. Sure, you met some of my dietary needs, but they've just got it all. So farewell. Oatmeal.

[Brett]

So long, you strange soggy. Break up with bland breakfast and taste.

[John]

AM PM's bacon, egg and cheese biscuit.

[Brett]

Made with K tree egg, smoked bacon and melty cheese on a buttery biscuit. AM PM too much. Good stuff. Hberg's morning sickness.

[John]

So, you know, this whole thing, I. I would hope at least you controlled it.

[Brady]

You don't go down there and try to.

[John]

Right.

[Brady]

Take somebody out.

[John]

Right? And that's where it has to. It has to end. It has to end. Anger for somebody else's words has to end. That means something's wrong with you. You don't have to like what somebody says and what people always. People in radio always have the same thing. Turn it off. If you're getting angry at something, turn it off.

[Lisa]

Book a Mormon.

[John]

There's. There's. But that's different. There things different. But you go through the. There's 48 stations in the city. KSLX does a fine show. They'll never make you mad. They don't go that road. I do. They never make you mad. So if I'm making you mad, turn it off. That's fine. You have an out. If it's. If it's something you absolutely love, turn it up. But don't get angry. Because the second you're angry, it's you. You're losing it. And it can't be that way anymore. But I say all this the day after, which is what we always do. Yep. The day after we all make sense. The day after we all say the right things, and then somebody will say something and you'll look at him and go, that guy's an asshole. And it starts all over again.

[Lisa]

Tomorrow's a.

[John]

Tomorrow we'll start having the nuke em till the ground glows argument in somebody's front yard. And the next thing you know, we've polarized again because we really don't have foundational thought. We have Internet, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, the news, all telling us what to. What to think today. Two days ago, before this happened, I was watching the news and they were screaming on one channel, crime's on the decline. This is a murder. It's tragic, but it's just one. We have no problem with crime. It's being weaponized against us. Trump wants to put this in there. And they were making it about Trump and crime. And the numbers being up yesterday, that very same channel. We have a gun problem. We have a violence problem in the United States. And I said, that's the issue. People watched yesterday and thought this, and today they're telling them something else and they're harping on it. And that's today's belief. And then tomorrow's belief will be whatever they manufacture the news cycle, the news cycle will be what? People who don't really have time to think about all this but are getting inundated with information will take what they see today, and that will make them mad because you got no control over it. And that's the big. We don't control the. What's going on out there. So it's. It's frustrating. I just, I just don't want to. I don't, you know, I don't want to ignore this. This. This is a. I don't want to compare this the way it's being done. This is an MLK moment. When he got shot, people on both sides went, that shouldn't have happened. I hate that guy. I love that guy. That shouldn't have happened. And that. I think most people feel that way. The dude on MSNBC got fired yesterday for saying maybe it was just somebody celebrating shooting their gun in the air. And then he said, you know, this guy, he said bad things, so he's got to expect bad things to happen. And they booted him. They fired him. Good for them. Because that was like, you're not reading the room, man. And by the way, there's no Yosemite Sams anymore that just fire guns into the air. That's the best words I've ever heard. That was a stupid comment. This one said, john, it doesn't matter if you're left wing or right wing. We all belong to the same bird. It's time people realize. That's very true. But, you know, I've been around a minute. Yeah. We don't know. It would be wonderful if something like this occurred. We all got sad and we all changed our minds and started to be different. I don't. History tells me that's not going to happen. It says, how can you label this a political assassination when they haven't caught the shooter without knowing the shooter's motives? I don't know. I have just assumed. I guess you're right. It could be a political assession. What else? Just a murder of a guy. Then he just had no real political motivation from a rooftop. I mean, the only reason anybody would want to shoot Charlie Kirk is because politically he's loud. He's not. He's. He's a. He's a citizen. He's not a politician. Right. He's a political activist.

[Lisa]

And in that sense, you're right. It does make it more closer to mlk.

[John]

They haven't caught him. But, I mean, it's pretty fair to assume, and you're making a decent point. It's pretty fair to assume that this was politically motivated. It silencing a voice that you didn't like. Now there'll be conspiracies that come out of this screaming that this was, you know, a false flag and we put this together on purpose so now we can have military rule the street. There'll be people who. And again, they have a right to feel that way so long as they're not lashing out, hurting anyone else. It's just. It's. I don't know, it's crazy. It's. It's ugly. It's just. Sad. Yeah, that's the word that just should be, is just. This is just sad, really.

[Brett]

Mirror.

[John]

Really. And I don't like being that person that says all the thoughts and prayers and he's with Jesus. And this is awful. You can comfort yourself with he's with Jesus, but his wife isn't, his kids aren't. All those people in the front row aren't the dudes that were best friends with him aren't the people he worked for aren't. So that doesn't bring me any comfort at all. And you have to understand that some people just don't get comfort from that. Because if you believe that he's there with Jesus, And Jesus called him why? Couldn't even done it in his sleep. Why did we have to.

[Brady]

But it is comforting somewhat if you come from that.

[John]

Sure, I know this was a horrible.

[Brady]

Death, but I know he's in a better spot. You know, you just want to say, okay, that's great. He's in heaven.

[John]

Or yeah, but blown away on national TV where his kids can see it someday. The actual. I mean that to me.

[Lisa]

Your daughter saw it, my kids saw it. His buddy was there.

[John]

The hypocrisy of that to me is disgusting. Is that, oh, good, he's. He's okay. What about everybody else? Why did it have to be so disgusting if that is what the end result was? Just so Jesus could have a new friend. That's my argument. And again, I'm saying stuff a little bit on purpose to say, hear me out. You don't have to like what I say. I don't believe in that. And it shouldn't make you mad if you do, because if you do, you should believe in it yourself and I shouldn't affect you at all. But unfortunately, my emails tell me different. Is that it does affect people if I say something. And that's. And I never emailed people that believe in that.

[Brady]

That. That is. That is comforting when they hear someone say.

[John]

But you know, who I'm talking to exactly is the people who feel that way aren't affected when I say I think it's awful. Yeah. They're like, mom, I don't. Because I feel the same way when you say it. I'm like, okay, that's for you. I find that abhorrent and almost disgusting. That's my feeling. Doesn't make me think less of you.

[Brady]

Look how long we've known this about that. I've known you.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And the feelings. And it's like I know exactly where you're, for the most part, coming from.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And you know, even if I don't agree with the beliefs or whatever.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brady]

I respect it.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Well.

[John]

And I learned, and I'll be honest with you, you don't even have to respect it. You can just know that you have foundational thought and you don't understand it.

[Brady]

So then.

[John]

And I understand yours. I totally disagree with it. Yeah. For me. Yeah. You do whatever you want. Yep. And we've been friends for 30 years and this has never been like a. Well, I just can't hang out with him because he doesn't believe in God or vice versa. It's like, that's dumb. Dumb people do that.

[Lisa]

Lisa, And I talked about it last week, about how respected you are in holding true to your faith or whatever.

[John]

You need to call.

[Lisa]

Well, but you do.

[John]

But you.

[Lisa]

Like you just said, you try. You don't. You don't go one way one day and change your mind the next day. You pretty much stick to it.

[John]

Yeah, I kind of want to have. I kind of want to put my money where my mouth is with this and basically say, if I'm saying, let everyone talk. Everybody wants to talk about this. Yeah. Like, just get it out of your system. We should let everybody, like, for the next break, just have everybody call in and say, what do you think? Are you. And I don't care what. You're not going to get shouted down here. So one of those things where I'm just. I might disagree with you, but if you can keep your cool, and we've had those, just, you know, if you got something to say, say it. You can call us 585-9-800. Just let it go. But why not Fireside Chat with Intelligence. Exactly. Fireside Chat the day. But, you know, we ask him on the Fireside Chat, come up with something, right? Yeah, yeah. And it's giving him something. I said with intelligence. Yeah. Call up and say it if you're. If you're like, I'm glad he's gone. We'll hear it. I want to. I want. I am one of those people that wants to hear from that. Where is your brain?

[Lisa]

I get it.

[John]

I get it. You're not changing me, right?

[Lisa]

Me either.

[John]

So I'm not gonna get mad at you. And that's the two plus two equals four mentality. I know it's four. I know what I. And sometimes I'm wrong. And I believe strongly that I'm. But then I listened to somebody say something. Charlie Kirk on abortion, talking to that girl at the University of Tennessee. His argument made so much sense that I'm like, john, you've been wrong a little bit about this. That's the. That's the correct and proper logical way to see this. It doesn't mean I'm anti abortion like he is, or I believe that Jesus has something to do with it. I do believe, though, that his argument against, you know, somebody just saying, well, I shouldn't. I should be allowed to do it, falls apart when logic's brought to it versus emotion. And he did it a couple of times. And I'm like, that guy isn't being angry, isn't yelling at this person. He's not even really disparaging them. For what they brought to the party. He's basically saying, think of it this way. I'm just giving you an idea to think of it this way. Cuz I'm right and I'm bringing facts to this party. And Charlie Kirk didn't always bring facts. Sometimes he was on his own. And that's part of being able to say what he wants to say. But I will say he listened to people. And we don't do that. And all we scream about is we need to have this open dialogue. We need to have. Look what happens when you have open dialogue. Because that's all the dude was doing. He never once pulled a gun on someone. He never once threatened to fight a guy. He was adversarial, he was in your face. But it wasn't in a I'm gonna fight you way. It was, if you want to bring an argument to me, make sure that it's pretty sound. A lawyer would do that in a courtroom. If your argument's no good, he's gonna pick it apart. And that's essentially what he was saying to college kids.

[Lisa]

Mad at anybody. In that instance, you gotta get mad at yourself because you didn't prepare properly.

[John]

He was essentially saying to college kids, you don'. Have it figured out. You got to hear some other people. You're kind of in your bubble.

[Brady]

And he's not that far removed from.

[John]

No, it was a wonderful, amazing thing. And unfortunately our first reaction yesterday at the very least was have college campuses shut down all political speakers. And everything that they had planned is like, no, no, no, we can't have that. Violence may happen. No, no, we have to do that. That's the thing. We have to. If you want to talk about it, you can. If not, I'm fine with that too. But a lot of people, the emails from yesterday on to right now, blowing up about what people, and you just want to lash out. You don't have that. Most folks don't have that kind of platform to start saying, here's how I think or here's what I want to say. So we'll take a break. If you want to talk about it, you can. We'll take some time to let you guys fireside chat with Intel, Intelligence. Intelligence. That's the key. Yeah. Five at five ninety her. If you don't. I get it. If it's something that's like, I don't want to even deal with this anymore, that's cool too. I get it. But just let, let us have our moment. We're human beings too. I know you're sitting there going, get on with the thing. Do fart jokes. We don't come to you for this. We're human beings too. This is affecting us as well. And again, if we ignored it and started doing fart jokes, everybody'd start coming at us going, you're just going to ignore this? And no, this one's too big. And on 9 11, a lot of people with that kind of mindset, that little black cloud that sits over us on days like this. So I've said my piece. If you got anything to say, we'll let you say it. That's how this works at 621. Let's get that going and maybe even throw in a request or something along the way and we'll do a wake up song along it. It's 98 KUPD. It's out of control now. 98 K upd's morning s morning sickness. There's another thing is that I. Look, I. We're flippant nonsense most of the time, but we also have this awesome thing called radio that unites a local community. Like, you can't do this with the podcast, which is great. We got people waiting online and stuff like that, but I don't know how people are going to do the. The answer is C Consultant radio this morning. I just don't know how you do it. And that's just a fear of being in this mix. But, you know, I don't know how anybody does that. I don't know how you can't be human and come out and go, oh, my. My daughter's paper. Let's read kids papers from school. Like, you do that on fun days where there's nothing else going on. And you're going to. Now, I think from this, and this is the objective of this is to hear people you might disagree with. And that's got to get. That's got to be something you get used to and you don't get mad about it. I'm getting a lot of emails already to tell Toledo to shut the f up. And it's. It's not. That's not the goal. Although I sometimes I agree. This guy says, Jeremy says, I've been listening to you since I was a teenager and I'd like to email from time to time. I'm 37 years old now. I'm a father of two. Is that possible? He's a teenager and now he's 37 now. I admire your stance on politics. You and I are nearly identical in that aspect. I despise A division and refuse to take sides because I have a brain in my head. But I'd like to address something Brady said at the beginning. Cell phones. We all grew up at a time where our parents could protect us from some of this. It was an R rated movie. We couldn't watch it. None of us had cell phones. None of us had the Internet till the 90s. But in today's world, a nine year old kid just watched Charlie Kirk at half his head blown off on Instagram. Multiple views. How does this affect people? What is the psycho? What is this psychologically doing to regular people? Charlie Kirk's wife probably watched the video of her husband being brutally assassinated before anyone told her about it. As a society, we're normalizing stuff like this because we get to see it. Think about that for a minute. I'd like to hear that. And Brady as a father, like that had to be something. He had to.

[Brady]

Well, she's, you know, like I said, it was a, it was weird because I had never felt that impact. Like this video right there. She's 17 years old. She's, you know, you still see her as a 9 year old kid and it, and, and it impacts you.

[John]

You want to just kind of smother that and protect it as a parent.

[Brady]

But I, I know I can't put in. She needs to start seeing these things. She needs. Well, the big thing is, hey, let's talk about it.

[John]

Yeah. She doesn't have to see it, unfortunately, whether she wants to or not, she's probably gonna. And the thing you think about with that is, you know, I watched somebody very responsibly last night say, I'd like to talk to all the Internet providers and websites and everything else to make sure those videos get taken down because they're young now. But if those things live on the Internet, Charlie Kirk's kids will eventually get to watch. What I was saying earlier, it's absolutely going to happen, but just gross. Yeah. This one says, John, I'm honestly heartbroken and I don't know why I did not know him. I'm angry. He was just talking. Not a police officer, not a soldier in combat. Just a guy trying to make the world a better place with words. And he got killed for it. What the f is wrong with us? I think that's how we all feel and that's the hopelessness and helplessness we kind of all feel when something stupid like this happens. This one says, please turn off that tool Toledo's mic. See, that's the opposite of what we're trying to do here. You have to hear people you disagree with roll your eyes and then recognize if I'm getting mad I have to get a better foundation of what I believe. And then somebody said get ready guys says I think it's worth it. Quotes in quotes it says I think it's worth it. It's worth. It's worth it to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year so we can have the second amendment to protect our other God given rights. Charlie Kirk said that. That's his quote. And he did say that and that was his quote. And people are combining those two things saying he was for gun rights and one took him out. So how does he feel about it now? I think most gun people would say it doesn't change the argument. Andrew says it's not a both sides thing. John none of us as Trump supporters or followers of Charlie Kirk have done any of this type of stuff. It's never our side. Never. Toledo trying to say it's both sides is disgusting and shows how far out of reality he is. Please name a right wing mass shooter. The right wing murderers. There are some. I can't name them right off the bat because you can't name them. There was a guy who tried to kill what's the. The governor of Pennsylvania tried to burn his house down. And things like there's been. It's not getting their voting records. Yeah, yeah. If Republicans ever do this, it's 1% of the violence the left does. And see this is what we got to stop doing. Your side didn't win or lose yesterday. Some nut shot a guy, you know and maybe, maybe it's left this right that. But what it was was a crazy person who can't understand how society works and kill the guy. Lewis says super sad. I think he's gone because that dude was intelligent and articulate and he might have been a great president someday. And people saw that as a threat. Maybe this one says it's sad no matter what your beliefs are, nobody deserves what happened. You actually enlightened me though. You're completely correct when you say people have the right to say that they're happy about this as well. Because I never thought of it that way. Yeah, that's the one thing you got. The one thing that you should walk away from and say is I'm watching people celebrate that guy's death. And that's okay because that is the freedom of thought and expression that Charlie Kirk was doing and a lot of people didn't like it. So you can't get mad that somebody shot him for saying what he like. And then watch somebody say something you didn't like and say, that needs to be stopped. All of it needs to be. Okay. This guy says, john, calm down. He was a YouTuber. He said if a surgeon was black, he'd think about getting surgery from that guy. How articulate is that? He believed Trump when Trump said transgender mice, did I want the guy dead? Of course not. He had a wife and a couple of kids that said, but praise him. We had two school shootings this this week. And it's amazing how the movie Don't look up is so right. Conspiracy theory. Trump had him murdered to distract from the Epstein files. He can go. We'll make another one. Thank you. I mean, it's a point. The point don't have to agree with it. You can sit back and do it. That's Ray. That's just his feeling today while we.

[Brady]

Got him on the phone.

[John]

Huh?

[Brady]

While we have them on the phone before the phones go haywire.

[John]

Oh, that's a good point. Yeah. They're gonna go now. You're absolutely right. We should probably go to those immediately. Yeah. This one says, john, it doesn't matter if you're left or right wing. We all belong to Saint Bird. I wrote down, he said, you can label a political assassination. How do you do that without knowing the motives? And that email that I read there turned into this. What if it turns out Charlie Kirk was whoring around with some other dude's wife? And this isn't political. It's a personal vendetta that throws a wrench into things. And that is true, that you do have to say before. I mean, it's assumed a political. That's why cops are always like. We won't want to say the, you know, the motives. We don't know them yet. Because you don't know. I don't see that being the case. That would be a real risk. I think it'd be more a personal thing.

[Brett]

But that's.

[John]

I know this one says, my opinion is he was sacrificed. Another psychopath. The powers that be use death to scare and anger us, make the dummies more dumber. It's a point. I don't. I don't buy that. No, but I, I. But you can say that. I can. I can see why you think it, but I don't believe it. All right, grab. Who's on? Let's start with Donovan. Donovan's always solid. Donovan, are you there?

[Caller]

Good morning.

[John]

Hey, man, what's going on?

[Caller]

It's living to love and loving to live.

[John]

There you go. What's up, Donovan?

[Caller]

So this whole Charlie Kirk thing. I know how people feel. I have my feelings about him, too. But what is scary is these people celebrating and cheering and, like, happy that he's dead. I mean, I get they have the right to do it, but when you start othering people and when you start celebrating it, that's how you end up people getting loaded on the box cars being shipped to camps, and it's terrifying.

[John]

Why do you say that? Hold on. You say that that leads to a. Like a. Like a Nazi thing. I think we got to stop with that. That, too. I think we got to stop saying everything's going to turn back into Hitler. No, I'm talking.

[Caller]

I'm. I'm not talking nuts. I'm talking genocide. If you other someone.

[John]

If you.

[Caller]

If you other them to the point where they're. They deserve to die, like, celebrating it because he's subhuman, that's how you end up with genocide. And it's terrifying you. I saw in Iraq what people are.

[John]

Capable of doing to other people.

[Caller]

And I can't explain to you in words how terrifying that is and how scared I am that there's nothing glorious about war.

[John]

Combat.

[Caller]

It's. It's brutal, it's disgusting and should never happen. I. I can't even tell you how terrible it is.

[John]

Yeah. Oh, you and I have talked on the. On the emails a lot, and you've kind of opened up on some things and you've been through some stuff.

[Caller]

I was part of the lost combat. Last combat operation in Iraq in 2009-2000-2008-2009.

[John]

Yeah.

[Caller]

And I mean, even the little that I saw, I mean, you know, I got IED and rocketed a couple of times, and it wasn't much, but I never want to go back there. And everyone seems to be in a rush to start killing each other, and it hurts me. Like, it bothers me.

[John]

If you.

[Caller]

If people saw what I saw, we would all be a lot calmer.

[John]

You think?

[Caller]

I think 100. I know. Because there is nothing glorious about it.

[John]

It's disgusting.

[Caller]

It is. It's a tragedy. And. And I honestly, I lost my faith in Iraq. I used to be very faithful, but after what I saw, if there's a beloved being that loves me and lets that happen, they don't deserve to be worshiped. That's just my personal opinion.

[John]

Yeah. And that's all we're here to do. Just let it off your chest and Let people talk. And personal opinions are. Are just that and shouldn't make anyone mad because that means they don't have a very good foundation. Donovan, you're always fun to email with and thanks for being like that, open about stuff, man. And I appreciate you, brother. Yeah. All right. Thank you.

[Caller]

I'm scared.

[Brett]

You know what?

[John]

That's one thing we can't do. Don't be scared. You have to. You have to just recognize that the world sucks a lot of the times and just got to bravely walk through it. You'll be all right.

[Caller]

Thanks.

[John]

Thanks, buddy. I can't imagine the stuff he seems no there though. I know. And I don't want to imagine it, to be honest with you. I know a couple people who came back from that a different man.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

Yeah. John's online too. It's Tank. Tank, Tank. Online to take. Go ahead, get it off your chest.

[Caller]

Hey, yeah, no, I appreciate Dominant Donovan and thanks for his service.

[John]

Yeah, no kidding.

[Caller]

I think war is stupid too.

[John]

But.

[Caller]

So there's two points that I want to make. Number one, as a human, I do not condone any sort of violence. I'm a tree loving hippie through and through, and that should never happen. And it's horrible. Now, as an American, yes, we have the freedom of speech, but it doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. And again, we don't know the shooter's motive. And that there's so many people already claiming. Including you, John. Yeah, but there's so many people claiming that this is political.

[John]

Yeah.

[Caller]

And that is part of the issue is the assumptions we make based on the words we've heard.

[John]

That's true.

[Caller]

And I think that at the end of the day is really a. A function. People need to learn what the words are. And if I say as an American, we go back to that for just a second, which was the Constitution gives us a freedom of speech, but not the freedom to say whatever. When it incites violence or causes damage, there are consequences, or at least there used to be. Right now we live in a society where there are no. There's no accountability for one's actions from the highest level.

[John]

Yeah, well, Tank, the thing for that to me is we've. We've lost that line for inciting something violent has dropped so low that it means that if I don't like what you say, I can punch you. And that's different.

[Caller]

Well, yeah, I think I totally agree with you on that. And I think that's the problem is that because we've lost that line because there's no accountability. Again, I think this starts from the highest levels. Like, capitalism is the greatest system in the world, but when you remove the guardrails from it, then all of a sudden profit becomes more important than people. And that takes a really nasty turn. Like, I'm capitalist. I love it. But I also think we need to have guardrails. Same thing with freedom of speech. Got to know what the rules are and we got to be willing to respect each other. Which is the whole reason I called in. You guys said, hey, if you have an opinion, like, shit, I got an opinion. Of course I got one of those.

[John]

Everybody's got one. That's the point. If you start shooting people with ones you don't like, you're gonna start shooting a lot of people. So, yeah, I agree. I think you hit something, you hit something on the head when you said you're. You should be able to say whatever you want and, and with respect. And that's the thing, and that's the deal. Like, a lot of people hear you talking and disagree with what you just said. But it doesn't mean you should be shouted down or screamed at or beaten up or physically assaulted. You have a thought, you expressed it, and somebody could maybe articulately change your mind or maybe make you feel crazy. But I do believe that the people who are celebrating this have a right to celebrate it. And you do have a right to say whatever you want, but that doesn't mean it's consequence free. You can go in a theater and scream fire. If there's no fire and it doesn't cause anything, it's just fine to do it. But if you try to tell everybody you don't see it there's a fire and create something. That's what they mean by that. That's what they mean by freedom of speech. Unless you incite violence or riot, you can't entice people to believe this is actually happening when it's not kind of thing and make a frenzy and cause it. You can get in trouble for saying that. But it's totally legal to say fire in a crowded theater. But you can't. Yeah, it is, but it depends on the actions afterwards. Because if you scream fire in a theater and the place turns into a.

[Caller]

Mess, you're responsible for depends on intention. That's why men's in the courtroom is so important. What was the purpose by which you did it? Yeah, and I think that's where we really get into, like, the motives on the left, the right, whichever's like, oh, I disagree because I'm this political whatever. Like, we start thinking we understand their mindset and why they're doing it, and then we take offense at that and then all hell breaks loose.

[John]

And that to me says you don't really even understand what you think you believe. So it's easier to just quiet a voice against you because it's going to make you question yourself. And that's where you lose me.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[John]

All right, Tank, you're the man. Thank you for calling. I appreciate it. Hope you got that off your chest. We're getting it off your chest, Mike. This is a little experiment. I did not intend to do this, but I kind of like the idea of saying, hey, everybody should have a voice. Let's let him have it on a day like this, crappy day. And you know what? It's starting to make me feel a little better. Starting to move forward with it. Who you got? Mike. Mike. Mike's on three. Mike, go.

[Caller]

Oh, hey, John, just want to say I listen to your guys show every morning and I really enjoy you especially, I think.

[John]

Yeah, I'm the best one.

[Caller]

Yeah, yeah. Your satire and our comedy, dark comedy kind of line very closely. And I really enjoy it.

[John]

Thank you.

[Caller]

But one of the, one of the things you said kind of stuck with me. I wasn't a believer in God for the first 35 years of my life, and I am a believer now. And one of the things you said is, you know, you know, people believe or certain people believe that Charlie Kirk is with Jesus, you know, but you mentioned like his wife and his kids are not. And I just wanted to say as a, as a believer, I'm a late life Christian and a new believer. But, you know, I think, I know they believe that. I believe that and I just, I believe they are with Jesus and the whole family. You don't believe that? Yeah, but I just, you know, I like you guys so much. And like I said, every time you say something in the morning, I've been listening for the past. I don't know what it is, four or five years, but you raised some interesting points. And it makes me think like, man, John, it thinks all the things I thought before. And I guess now that I'm a believer in God and in Christ that, I don't know, I felt like it just. You gave me the opportunity to call the radio station and here I am.

[John]

Well, there it is. And I have no issue with that. And if it, you know what, to quote the song whatever gets you through the night, I'm fine with That I don't mind anybody. I admire anybody who has a belief so long as it doesn't make it so they react violently or angrily towards me not having one. I'll have a conversation. Brady knows we'll have conversations about Godness net and it can get louder, but he knows that it's respect and I know that it's respect and we can be disagreeing because it's never going to end with, you're a jerk, I hate.

[Brady]

You, and I'm going to change you on this.

[John]

Yeah, yeah. And it's like, look, I'm challenging a few of the things you say because they don't make sense to me. And if you don't have an answer, it's not that I'm winning an argument, it's just like, think about it. Because when you get to me, I'll think about it, you know? And what, what was the thing that, what won you over? What happened that made you swear? Stop not believing.

[Caller]

My personal story was I was a competitive professional bodybuilder for 20 years and I had a blood work done and you know, was basically doctors would tell me, you know, kidney dialysis right down the road. And I decided to stop everything that I was doing and hang everything up and prayed to God and I, I feel that God spoke to me. And the. I know that might sound hokey to you, but that was, that was a turning point in my. And I got baptized soon after and left the sport of bodybuilding and cleaned up my act and cut. And it started my process of cutting all the drugs and bad things I was putting in my body. And it's been a long, it's been a long process. Like I said, I'm a late life Christian.

[John]

So you're a better person because. Yeah, you found this. Right. It just made you a better person.

[Caller]

Watching Charlie Kirk on those college campuses and hearing them scream and yell and all these things. And sometimes the college kids would come up and they'd give it and I'd be like, yeah, good point. Answer that one, Charlie. And then he would answer in such a way and then his faith and he would pull from just the verses and it just solidified my belief even more. And I just really enjoyed the dialogue.

[John]

So. Well, keep speaking. And that's the thing. Just keep talking because that's what we need more of. And talk with respect. Be respectful. And you can still be a jackass and be respectful. I've made a living out of it that I thought some people don't think I am. But for the Most part, it's.

[Caller]

You do a great job.

[John]

Well, thank you. I appreciate that. And good for you. I'm glad your life's on the right track, no matter how you get there.

[Caller]

Yeah. Thank you.

[John]

Yeah.

[Caller]

You guys make me laugh out loud every morning. And I go, I work at a Christian organization and driving to work. I listen to you guys.

[Brett]

Sure.

[John]

They love that. Yeah. Your python is in the room. All right. Thank you, brother.

[Caller]

I'm originally from New Jersey.

[Brett]

I know.

[John]

We. We can hear that. We hear that. Thank you, brother. Thanks, man. All right. Okay. One more and we'll be done, my peeps. That's your man. All right, Jake. Jake, are you there?

[Caller]

Yes, sir.

[John]

All right, Jake, go right ahead. This is a. This is making me feel better, and I don't know why. It's just letting people have their moments. Now imagine. Just real quick, Jake, imagine that. Last caller. If I said, oh, he believes in Jesus. And I started to, like, you know, I. I don't believe. Listen to us. I am a staunch atheist. Yeah. I believe in the way I think, not the way I believe. That's the way I think. And it makes sense to me. And I didn't once. And he didn't once sit back and say, you're an idiot. You're wrong. I heard him. He heard me, and we both are fine. We can do this. This isn't hard. It's just. We got to pull our heads out of our asses and stop saying Toledo's so wrong, even though he is. All right, go ahead. Sorry, Jake.

[Brett]

So.

[Caller]

So, like. And I completely agree with you guys, like, whatever religious belief or whatever you have in your. In your. If you can talk it out civilly, then that's how our society runs, and that's. That's a good thing. And so with. For me and my mother were both caregivers, so we're no strangers to our rendezvous with death quite a bit. And so when I saw Charlie Kirk yesterday, my buddy sent me the video, which I wish he didn't.

[John]

Same for me. Four of them show before I knew what happened. Yeah.

[Caller]

And because I was just minding my business in my days, like, hey, did you see that Charlie Kirk died? I'm like, I've been watching that guy for. For years, just as I've been listening to you guys for quite some time. And he sent me the video. And I'm. I'm only 25, but I'm pretty desensitized to a lot of things that I see on the Internet, sadly.

[John]

Yeah.

[Caller]

But I saw that, and I'm like, man, that. That is horrifying to see that that can just happen in an instant. And I got two different sides of views from my buddy. He's like, you know what? Like, it makes me. It completely fucking very sorry.

[John]

That's the only one. I was gonna let them all go today because I don't care. Find me, but it's. Yeah, I have to kill that one. Go ahead, start again. Not. Not from the beginning. Just from your effort.

[Brady]

Don't do it again.

[John]

Stop it.

[Caller]

I wanna. Like, he was saying, like, oh, it makes me want to pick up my gun and like, we should destroy all the liberals. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[John]

Like, I. I don't know about that one.

[Caller]

And then hearing my mom's side, I. I told her about it and she goes, I know. I was. I was listening to this and I was in awe of how much she had a relationship with Jesus. And that's also my viewpoint as well. But with the whole, like, it's weird to see someone who is such an advocate for the first and Second Amendment to be killed by someone who is utilizing their Second Amendment not in the correct way.

[John]

Right, but that's not the amendment. Yeah, Right. To own it, sure.

[Caller]

But to see someone so. So just horrifyingly, in front of hundreds of students, their lives have been completely altered from today because they'll never get that out of their mind.

[John]

Yeah. And some will use it for their own. Their. Their own kind of. Oh, my God, I was there. Make it about them moments. But there are people who witnessed what I. You know, what you said you saw also, Jake, was that video. The couple of them that popped up, like, I. I'm with you. I didn't know what happened. And I got a video from a friend I trust very much, and I clicked on it and I'm like, this is. And then I saw. I'm like, you got to be kidding me. Like, this is how I find out about this. And right as. And it was right as I was popping in the car and I had popped the radio on. It was on the NFL Network, and they were talking about it. And I'm like, oh, my God. Like. And I had just seen it. I didn't know what to do. And Brett, you said you thought it was AI. Yeah, but your brain doesn't want that to be a thing. No. Yeah, and that's. You're right.

[Caller]

Even I thought it was the AI. And I'm just like, there's no way. I mean, he's such a Public figure. He's such, like. He's always in the open. He's like, no, no, no. Like, this is real. And he. And he showed me, like, the. The really far shot and then the shot where it was like a kid that was like, they're in the third row, basically.

[John]

Saw that one, too. Yeah. And I think what you're saying is that it speaks to how fragile we actually are. I think that's why this scares everybody. I think that's why this hits so hard, is that somebody who really wasn't doing anything and a citizen just like you, just like me, speaking their mind in a public setting. And it can be snuffed. We. We are that fragile, and we are that out of control that. That. That. That can be. You know, the dude was in the middle of a talk about gun violence, so that'll conflate into some sort of a conspiracy, I'm sure, soon. But it's. It's weird to feel that for your. Go ahead.

[Caller]

Sorry. Like, with you kind of saying, like, you know, this morning, I kind of, like, look behind me. Yesterday, even, I was in the comfort of my own homes. Like, am I at risk?

[John]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Of something like this? Like, shoot. Like, I like speaking my mind sometimes.

[John]

Yeah. Civilian.

[Caller]

I try not to get angry at anybody. I'm. I'm human. It happens. But I'm like, have I pissed off anybody that much for them to want to do that to me, to take me away from. From my fiance, from my mom, from my family and all that? I'm just like, shoot. That's.

[John]

Yeah, it's. It's fragile. Startling it open. And you're only 25. You know, you don't need to feel this way yet. You don't need to feel like It's. I was 25 when Columbine happened. And it was the first time I took that punch in the nuts and felt like, what do I do? You know? And. And that's that fragility of Sandy Hook.

[Lisa]

For me, when I. Oh, it's horrifying, dad, at that point.

[John]

And that changes everything, too. It's. It's horrifying to think, oh, my God, at any given time, some lunatic can change the course of it all. And so. Yeah, but speak your mind. Keep that way. And it's. Yeah. And you know what? I just got an email that said, thank God for football, because that'll make us all feel a little better later. I agree. All right. Thanks, man. Thanks, Jake. See you, buddy. There you go. Yeah, little exhale there. That's. Ah, you Want to say anything? No, I'm good. I don't have a lot to say.

[Lisa]

No, I've been told not to.

[John]

People be telling you. You know what? After all is said and done, I think everybody should be allowed to say what they want except Toledo. I think that's probably a good idea. The listeners have spoken. We took a vote. Freedom of speech applies to all of us except you. You have to kind of fall in line, please. But it is true. Think about that next time you're fuming over Toledo's nonsense. Every boy's at it again. You start fighting on the Internet next time you start. That's the lesson we'll take next time you start firing off an email about how angry you are at someone you don't even know who said something you didn't like. And now you're in a firestorm of comments on Yahoo. With somebody named, you know, Dick Swinger 69. You realize what you're doing is insane and stop thumbing out the letters. How about that? We start there. That's better. I think that's the smart thing to do because I've done it. I've been on Yahoo going, is this. And mostly it's Steelers talk. Pat Meyer is the worst offensive line coach. And I'm like, here we go. And you'll start seeing people. You're racist. He's. Thanks a lot. Obama was the fourth comment. Although I used to go through comments and count how long it took for any story to go into a politic kind of rant. 4. That's pretty hot. Yeah. Yeah, that was. I got through three good ones. I can't believe that. I've seen a lot of people celebrating what happened. And I say to myself, seriously, a husband, a man trying to change things for the better, died at the hands of another person. It doesn't matter what the problem was. The man died and will not be there to support his family. And it's sad when words have more impact than thought provoking ideas. That is a great way to put that. Crandall. And Crandall's insane. Yeah, that's a great way to put that. Words have more impact than thought provoking ideas. Thought provoking ideas should wake us up, not make us mad. And sometimes you hear things you don't like from someone and you're like, ooh, that stings. But I hear it. I see that point. And then you just. People. Sometimes I'm. That person says something just bananas and you just take it with a grain of salt. But I'm telling you we all say the right thing. Remember September 12, 2001, everybody was saying the right things. Everybody was like, yeah, I gotta do something about it. It's like losing weight. I gotta stop eating. I gotta start doing better tomorrow. I'm gonna start eating right. And then you just. You say all the right things and you. Then you go, didn't do a thing. Yeah, this is. This is one of those moments. And I also wonder if it would be so poignant if we didn't see it. The Kennedy assassination made everybody sad and miserable. I'm from the generation that wasn't there, so I don't know what that was, but I do know that I've never known the Kennedy assassination without having seen it. That was 13 years before anybody saw this approuter film. All those people just went with it. Other than the people in.

[Lisa]

You saw Oswald shot before you saw that footage?

[John]

Yeah, well, yeah, yeah. You saw Lee Harvey get taken out, and people are like, yeah, we got the guy before we knew any of this stuff. But it was this. This theory of, like, what just happened.

[Lisa]

And RFK before you saw that.

[John]

Nobody knew how bad it actually was till they saw it. Video changes things. There's a weird comparison, but when Ray Rice punched that girl in the elevator before the video came out, the Ravens came out and said, we don't need to see any video to know this is wrong. He suspended for a game or two. And then they saw the video, and they're like, he's gone. Right. And one reporter said, I thought you didn't need to see a video to know how serious this was. And Harbaugh was like, the video is pretty extreme. It changes things. It changes your perception on what you saw. And it does. It does. Like this. Yesterday, you heard Charlie Kirk got shot. You're like, that's terrible. With no video. Like, this is a terrible story. You see it.

[Brady]

And look what we've done with videos on the other side, where they just take a segment of it.

[John]

Sure.

[Brady]

You know, and change things that, like.

[John]

But even if they didn't change it, even if it is exactly as you see it, it changes. Yeah, it changes. And, yeah, you can manipulate video with how much you show. So anyway, good job. Disgusting videos all the time on our videos. And this one just. This one actually got me. Oh, like, wow. I'm. I'm. I'm floored. I was. I was put on my ass. There was a 10 count. I didn't get up. I just sat and took it. I don't like this, for one. Say it Reminded me so much of how I felt after Columbine. It was so strange, that feeling like, I got to get up and do this tomorrow. I don't want to, but you got to and keep going. And I promise you this, I'll continue being America's favorite jackass. I'll keep saying stupid stuff. And you guys either laugh or turn it off. That's the agreement. We'll make a little handshake with the city. Now, I say that today, I'm guaranteeing you in October, I'll be getting an email from somebody telling me that I want me dead. Or they're trying to get. I know where you are.

[Brett]

You want to blow up to me, big boy.

[John]

Those kind of things. And I'm like, I look, I made fun of something you didn't like. You've probably laughed at something that somebody else didn't like. There's 70,000 different topics. One hit you today, you've laughed at the other 69,999. But this one suddenly has made me the bad guy. And think about that every day. Somebody else is probably offended by something I say, but I don't now. I can't say that's true. I was going to say I don't mean it in a way to offend. I mean it in a way to be thought provoking. But sometimes I mean it to offend. That's true. Just to be honest, sometimes I am trying to offend someone. Like our bosses, the bombs. If I can offend them at all costs, I will. I think they're idiots.

[Lisa]

You know, the irony of today is, is that we're going to have all the Bobs look at this and go, you see what?

[John]

Homework?

[Lisa]

No, they want a great thing putting. Putting listeners.

[John]

They'll wait a couple of weeks to see if there's any pushback on ratings and say. Well, he went on and on about the Charlie. I don't think people are interested. That's true.

[Lisa]

That way they can be. Right.

[John]

If you.

[Lisa]

If the meter doesn't move, there's a.

[John]

Group of people that can say what they want and aren't going to change my mind about anything. Yeah, we did some research. Did you? Good. Good for you. Do you have a thought in your head? No, not really. Papers have to tell me what to think. It's 708. We'll get to it. We have a wake up song at all. You want to play something special? Yeah. We don't have. All right. We'll just go to a bathroom, be normal. All right. Thank you. Everybody. That was nice of you for everybody to be respectful of each other and hopefully we can walk away at least for 24 hours and say I had to exhale and reset. I think that's a nice thing. So other than Toledo, you all made Great points. It's 98 Kup. It's out of control now. 98 K U PD.

[Brett]

Morning Sickness Radiate.

[John]

K u p d before we move on and I never know when to leave well enough alone. I appreciate you guys dealing with it. I didn't. I didn't intend to do that. But as I said the words more people need their voices heard. I thought we can do it. Thank you. Fixing Brady's collar so he's not Dracula anymore. Toledo, you're a good man. You're not going golfing today, are you?

[Brady]

No.

[John]

Okay. You're in your golf club. No, I can't. I was gonna say don't do that yet, but yeah, I just. I like that you guys, you know, it was. That was nice. That actually helped me. So thank you. You guys. Do you don't realize that you're my morning show. That's not one of those gay consultant. No, it is a little gay, but it's not one of those consultant ready to tell the audience that. You guys literally are. I don't get a morning show. We don't get one. Your emails and when we have moments like that are my entertainment in the morning. And Brady that and Brady sometimes Brett. Brett's my morning show but he's all day. Brady's my morning show and says. Says stuff like this.

[Brady]

Liquid death produced 11 packs of. What's it called?

[John]

Liquid death still funny. So. Yeah. But this is. Those are my moments where it's like. But I never need. I always have that one last email that comes in. I'm like this guy says, I know you don't like things that get political, John, but I have to say when you do talk about those things, you say that one side is as crazy as the other. But I hope you can put that neutrality aside and see the left for who they really are and that they never have been about tolerance or coexistence. All of the people that celebrated the death of a great man is beyond everything and they showed their true colors yesterday. I hope you have a great day and remember the heroes too. We lost on 9 11. Here's what I want to say about that and then I'll got to stop because I can do this all day and I've got a billion emails and I'm Trying to get through. And I'm sorry, I don't get you. I don't believe that that person represented the left. He represented craziness. Now, is he a byproduct of politics and the anger that comes from it? Yes, but he doesn't represent the left. That's what we have to stop doing. One bad actor, they say, can spoil it all if we keep assigning his beliefs to everyone who he said he did this for. He does not represent Toledo in any way. And Toledo's a lefty. He doesn't represent Tripp in any way, and Trip's a lefty. He may resonate with some people, but he does not represent that side of America. So the faster we stop doing that, the quicker this polarization side will end. And Hector, you make a great point for your side, but let's stop the sides and start saying that guy didn't represent anything but a lunatic who can't hear information and process and that we can't stop. That's all that guy represents insanity, Everything that's wrong with the world. And yes, he may have been influenced by something, but that doesn't mean he represents anything more than a guy capable of this. Now let's get back to. Did you print another one?

[Brett]

No.

[John]

Did I? No. Oh, it's just a second page of a disclosure thing. That's fine. Let's get back to what the show is about. Farting and praising me. Oh, here's one. John, I know your job can't be easy today. You do a phenomenal job of pulling your listeners away from the fringe on either side as best you can. Cable news channels try to keep pulling them back. This is the first American assassination of my lifetime. Brett's gonna hate to hear this, but it was a great move, putting listeners on the air and reading these emails. I don't think I appreciated your abilities to manage the show and direct the interviews and callers until I was in studio with you and listened back to the podcast. This is from Sean Rockefeller, our blind listener, and he said, now here's my suggestion. And I think we should all go with the great blind Shaun Rockefeller on this one. Let's have Toledo practice a moment of silence starting now, and we'll tell him it's over in five years and we'll all be better off. Thank you, Sean. That's a glorious idea. And I don't think there's anything wrong. Maybe I used to like Sean. A five year moment of silence. And then Tina says, and I'm letting it go. I just Want to let you know how much appreciate your perspective and conversation on most subjects. When you came on the air this morning, I could tell you were saying what you said from the heart. Thank you so much, Tina. Yeah. Well, you know, contrary to what's been reported, I'm a human being. I actually feel stuff sometimes. I get knocked down just like the rest of you. And I don't want to come. I honestly don't want to do this today. I don't. But it will make me feel better once I get going. But I just. It's just one of those things. I kind of want to sit in my own filth for a day and come back normal.

[Brady]

But let me get you some liquid death.

[John]

Yeah. Thank you, Brady. That's it. But then something will get me out of it, and I think that little chat did. So thank you for all that niceness. It's time now for Brady to give you the rest of the news we missed yesterday that hopefully is a little lighter. Maybe not. It's brought to you by our [e-mail] it's time to make shade in that backyard. You got shade, you got comfort. You got lower temperatures. They can make your house beautiful. It's not like the old days when they'd stick that thing on the back of your house and make you look like you're living in a Swensons. You got a nice shade that actually, you know, accentuates your property, raises property values. It's another thing you got in your house that people want, and that usually makes it so you can sell your house easier. It's another one of those tools. Check them out. All prochet.com and get shady with Brady in his backyard. Brady reported.

[Brady]

Good Thursday morning to you, Phoenix.

[John]

Hello, world.

[Brady]

Happy Patriots Day.

[John]

Is that what this is? Yep. The Patriots Day was in April. Calling it that's when they run the Boston Marathon.

[Brady]

It's what I have.

[John]

According to the fight. You. I just know that Patriots Day is when they run the Boston Marathon in April.

[Lisa]

Today.

[John]

Patriots today. Did they move it or do they just have Patriots Day in it?

[Lisa]

Doesn't say Patriots Day. It says Patriot Day.

[John]

Oh, so it's not for all of us? Yeah. Just for a Patriot if you're one. I guess if you're individual, you don't want to get into a group of Patriots.

[Lisa]

Patriots Day is April 19th.

[John]

Okay.

[Lisa]

Patriot Day is today. So I don't know where the marketing got a group.

[John]

A group of patriots can celebrate in April. You have to go out alone today.

[Lisa]

Much like a Cornucopia of slugs yesterday. Yeah, this is a cornucopia.

[John]

I think you just drive around your car like this. I feel great today. Good luck feeling that way today.

[Brady]

Couple of basis fun facts. The idea of free refills dates back to American coffee houses in the 19th century. But taco Bell is credited with being the first fast food chain to make it mainstream. 1988.

[John]

All right, that was 88.

[Brady]

1988, huh? Game of Thrones and Friends had roughly the same budget at $10 million per episode. Friends cost that much because of the cast?

[John]

Yep. 10 million an episode. Man, that's where they rushed those last two seasons out so fast. All those actors would have wanted raises.

[Brady]

Holy.

[John]

Next contracts come up. That was a 20. 20 million would have been the. I'd have killed them all off with my pen and gotten all new actors.

[Brady]

Al Greens. Take Me to the river was a big hit, but it made its biggest chunk of royalties from the big mouth Billy Bass electronic.

[John]

Oh, wow. It made some more money off Billy Bass than it did as a song. Yep. Oh my God. I mean it's. Oh, Cracker Barrel.

[Brady]

This is a little follow up from yesterday with John. Today, Google says pumpkin spice searches just hit an all time high.

[John]

Oh, yeah. Something's wrong with us with that pumpkin spice. Yeah, one in that line. We talked about it yesterday. Dumb.

[Brady]

If you walk into a public bathroom in China, there's a chance you'll have to watch an ad in order to get poop tickets. It's an automated toilet paper dispenser.

[John]

Oh, that's coming here.

[Brady]

And you gotta watch an ad, then it'll release the paper for you.

[John]

You know what? Good. That'll discourage people from taking dumps in public. Go home. They need that here. Ladies, you should start wandering around with your own. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We need to have like you have to watch the Shawshank Redemption before you can get. I'm not going poop here. Yeah, that's right, Taylor. Go home after the old morning show across the hall was here. Evidently. And I won't give a name out because it's a girl. If it was a dude, I'd do it, but girls are sensitive and this can cause like an HR issue. But evidently there's one downstairs that all the ladies talk about that when they see her go in, they know the bathroom's off limits for about two hours. We got a butt crusher downstairs and it's a female. It's more fun to work with just guys. No, really, he just lift out who he Thought it was. And the end. Your answer is incorrect. I can't believe that I'll pantomime. Okay. The listeners can't see it. Thank you very much. I wish you guys could have seen. It was almost like it became her.

[Brady]

Have you.

[Lisa]

Well, you wouldn't notice because you don't go in the one up here, but somebody's been lighting matches in the one up.

[John]

Well, at least that's an attempt to fix it. But Scott Taylor has been down. See, that's the thing about working with a bunch of dudes. You can call out the. The mad crapper. And Scott Taylor is currently the guy down. He comes upstairs sometimes. You see him walk up. Hey, guys. And he always looks like he's in a hurry to make a business meeting. He's not upstairs doing business. He's not wrecking the toilet for people downstairs. And I've seen him with his little wing tips. And when I walked in that time, he tried to lift him up and hide that he was in the stall. But I saw it said, I saw your shoes, Taylor. I know. And that's when you just turn the lights out. Turn the music up.

[Brady]

The silver on the wing tip.

[John]

Yeah, he has to. He has the. The gold buckles and all that. He was in there twice, evidently the other day. Morning sickness medicate.

[Brett]

Holmberg's morning sickness.

[John]

And he comes in early to do that. Yeah, he comes in to poop. I mean, I'll give him respect for that. He doesn't try to kill everybody else downstairs because there's nobody down there yet. I agree with you. I agree with you. But he's not doing it midday. Where you got to set your wife's.

[Lisa]

At home when he needs to do it at home.

[John]

Yeah, I don't think he's allowed. Get a bigger house then. Yeah, I mean, Jesus. Yeah, yeah.

[Brady]

I think the mid morning one, there's always one that's irregular. Like Dale back in the day was always like nine.

[John]

And that's a gross. Done that here too. Yeah, that's a gross one.

[Brady]

I think they. They look forward to that. Like, I can't wait to hit the restroom this time.

[John]

Show an ad. Show an ad for the toilet paper. I like that.

[Brady]

Got a couple in Shanghai, China, they filed for divorce after two years of marriage because they had a baby boy last year and they couldn't agree on a name. My time might sound minor, but both sides insisted on the name, refused to budge. And without a name, a birth certificate couldn't be issued. So a lot of important things were stuck in limbo, basic medical procedures. And that year started a lot of fights. Yeah, I'm like, let's just call it quits.

[John]

Yeah, that's great. All right, good. You take them? Yeah. I'm out. I like that. Here.

[Brady]

But now we've got a custody battle going on.

[John]

Wow. You imagine being in a custody battle, Brett? No. Oh, man. Mine would be like, oh, no. Yeah. I can't imagine life without him. But you win. You'd be like, will, no. Don't do it. I can't possibly stop. Oh, I'm going to miss you so much. All right, well, you live with your mom forever now. Sorry. When you come visit. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. What was your name again? Kevin or something?

[Brady]

No, we got a dude that jumped off a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. Jumped off? He jumped off in Puerto Rico last weekend because he wanted to skip out on the gambling debt. $16,000.

[John]

Over 16,000, you get markers on a cruise ship.

[Brady]

He ran up at the casino. Yeah. He was caught on surveillance jumping into the water near the shore. He's picked up by a couple people on jet skis.

[John]

They have your name? Yeah.

[Brady]

Authorities didn't.

[Lisa]

Oh, they put it right on your trial.

[Brady]

Tracking him down. He was arrested and now he's facing fines up to $250,000. Five years in prison. He thought he could slip out on the tab unnoticed, but now he owns around. He owes around 15 times what he lost at the casino. For what it's worth, when they found him on shore, he had 14,000 in his.

[John]

He was so close. Another two grand. Another. You spend one more time on that roulette wheel and you might have gotten it. That was on Carnival. Was that a carnival?

[Brady]

It was a Caribbean Royal Caribbean.

[Brett]

Royal Caribbean.

[John]

No. Yeah. If it was Carnival, you just give the carnival people your hellcat and call it. Here's the keys. Yeah, here's the keys to my Hellcat. We're even, right?

[Brady]

Screw talks. Procedures is on a rise. It's becoming very popular to smooth out.

[John]

Your balls like an eggshell.

[Brady]

Yeah. Some of the benefits they're talking about, it is just, you know, whether it outweighs. There are some risks, sure.

[John]

Putting needles in your ball is always risky. Putting any sort of botulism in your body is risky. Especially your nut sack. That's right, Brett. Excellent retort. That was Toledo, okay? I couldn't tell. I don't know your Mr. Ed impressions. They're so good. Each of them, them. But you're 100% right. Is the answer to that great news.

[Brady]

For the koala bears in Australia. Australia approves the first chlamydia vaccine for quality.

[John]

They've been struggling with that for a while.

[Brady]

It's been ravaging the population.

[John]

How they get in the clap over there. The cause some dirty bogan rolled over there and banged them. Now women will have sex with me, but these little koalas seem easy to catch. Tried with a kangaroo and almost lost my life.

[Lisa]

How was it, though?

[John]

It's pretty. Pretty remarkable. Worth it. Yeah. The best part about sex with a koala that's comparative to a female is that you never hear a koala say no. It tends to be the sheilas yell at a lot.

[Brady]

The toughest thing they're having is trying to figure out a way to reach the koalas to walk into the clinic to get the vaccines.

[John]

All right.

[Lisa]

Took it too far.

[John]

Yeah, man, that was dumb.

[Lisa]

Brett was breaking his mouth on that.

[John]

And he knows. Yeah, that was Brett pounding his computer mouse. You ran with that. You're okay with that? Maybe. Freedom of speech is bad.

[Brady]

What's your guess on the population of koalas in Australia?

[John]

My guess on how many there are?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Lisa]

300, 000.

[John]

No, there's more than that. It's a big. It's a big area, but I don't know how. I don't know if they live in the Toledo.

[Brady]

You're right in.

[John]

Yeah, I was going to say, ma'. Am. You might be right, because that middle part is not where they live. It's all dirt.

[Brady]

So they're estimated between 224,000 to 524. Nailed it.

[John]

I would have guessed 5, 600,000. It's a great point of pride for you. Hopefully you get a broadcaster of the year award for that. Why don't you do a video that says you're the number one. Whatever you are in the. In the country. We'll have a party.

[Lisa]

Will you guys join in? Will you carry a bat next to.

[John]

Me while I. Oh, yeah. It will definitely be in your Instagram video of your false claim.

[Lisa]

Awesome. Textures clarified everything for us. He says, guys, Patriot Day is in remembrance of Those lost on 9 11. So relatively new. Patriots Day has been around long.

[John]

Yeah, I know. Patriots Day is the Boston Marathon day. Yep. I never. I don't know that I. If I have heard of it, it hasn't resonated. I don't. I. Patriots Day is new to me.

[Lisa]

Oh, the difference.

[John]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. You.

[Brady]

Sorry, I added the s on there.

[John]

No, it's right. I don't. I. Look, I didn't you didn't know. I just know that Patriots Day is in April.

[Brady]

Just so you know, it rolled out September 9th, but Shake Shacks got a French onion soup burger.

[John]

That'S probably pretty good.

[Lisa]

And this matters because.

[John]

Yeah, you can't have one.

[Brady]

As you can't have one.

[John]

You can't have.

[Brady]

There's also the French onion shroom burger.

[John]

Throwing us all bastards while he's saying it too. Brady, give in to temptation. Try that little mushroom burger full of salt, phosphates and Ralph, you can do it. I think it'd be fine. You know you want to. Hot garbage that you're not eating like a champ anymore. I'm proud of you, Brady. Don't end up like me, laying under a hotel bed jacking the box breath. That's exactly how it went down. I'm gonna leave me with them burgers. I'll eat two. I eat one for you, buddy. Bye.

[Brady]

Gotten faster.

[John]

Yeah, well, he's. He's made of ether now. You have any videos? No.

[Brady]

Taking it?

[John]

No, the boys are taking the. And the boys took the day off. That's actually quite respectful, gentlemen. That's.

[Brady]

I went in briefly yesterday, but every other thing was a Charlie Kirk I.

[John]

Now we've seen enough videos. Somebody just said, can we have Brady, the Australian bogan. G', day, mate. How are you? Into my trailer and let's have ourselves a four star. Don't you hate when women scream? No. Nothing better or funnier than this. You're gonna take this further than I mean it. But I understand where you're gonna go. Then when you do something to an Australian woman she doesn't want done to her and she screams ner Somehow or another, that O turns into a R. A hard R again, maybe not the best phrasing, John.

[Lisa]

Can we reprimand Bert? Because to this day, every time I pass a hellcat, I look to see who's driving.

[John]

All right. And it's not all right. He's the one that loves it. But it's the Internet what taught Bert that.

[Brady]

Yes, that's true.

[John]

He didn't come up with it. Carnival Cruise. Yeah, I know Carnival. The Internet taught Brett. Carnival cruises have a specific targeted audience. Yes, and they drive hellcats to the boat. What?

[Lisa]

They're not giving out casino markers at Carnival.

[John]

I'll never forget the dominoes on this day where freedom of speech is important. Let me tell this story because it's hilarious. Ralphie May told me a long time ago, years ago. Read the room, Johnny. And I remember. I always do. Ralphie that's like a tell you man. Read that room. Always. I used to think I could get away with anything. Read the room. I'm like, what are you talking about? I think we're on the phone. And he said, I did. I did one of them cruise ships. You know about the cruise ships, Johnny? Like, what are you talking about? They're all black. I didn't know that. Yeah, the ones in the Caribbean are all black. And I got hired to do a week. I thought that would be fun. I got my, my room, I walked out and I'm like, what the hell says I had a show to do that night. But I was blown away. So I opened up with like, I ain't seen this many black people on a boat since I went and saw Amistad. He goes, when they're in a group on a boat, they aren't funny. They did not like me at all. And I started. I was pissing myself that he told them they're on the Amistad. And they were all like, nope, not here. Out. Maybe in a comedy club, but not on the boat.

[Brett]

Too close.

[John]

They started booing, screaming, revving their engines. I had to get off stage early. Then I had to be on the boat with him for six days. It was hilarious.

[Brett]

So read the room.

[John]

Nice job by Bailey and our content providers for the horrible weird sex videos Crandall and Bailey. Nice job at 7:53. Look at it, Toledo. Guess what?

[Lisa]

We're way ahead.

[John]

We're early today. I know. This show's actually have another round of phone calls. No, I'm done with all that. We're churning. We have a comedian today.

[Lisa]

Yes, we do.

[John]

This dude's job. This dude's job's not easy. Trust me, I know. Keegan Tyndall will join us a little bit. It's 98 KUPD. There goes your Brady report. It's out of control now. 98k u PD.

[Brett]

Morning Sickness.

[John]

Cruise through Thursday. Getting through it, getting through it. When I say we're cruising through it. I was just telling the boys last night after watching all that news and stuff. I one thing I did kind of have a moment with last night was on Fox News. I flipped over and started to watch that. And there's a dude with two blue of eyes and I don't know his name, but he's got the most beautiful silver hair I've ever seen. And his eyes are really blue. Trace something. And he's at the end of the day and he turned and he goes, we have to turn to our panel. What did you think of that? Peachy Keenan. And I'm like, what the hell did he just say? And then the name Peachy Keenan came up and some lady started talking.

[Lisa]

That's her actual name.

[John]

Her name is Peachy Keenan. Oh, my God. What do you think of that?

[Brett]

Rip roaring.

[John]

Good times. Is that the guy's name?

[Lisa]

Maybe we don't have Peachy chime in on the tragedy stuff.

[John]

Well, no, PG Keenan came in and everything was PG Keenan. Like, get rid of your radio name for this serious news gig. On days like this, it comes across kind of weird. And on days like in the next day, I want to say I'm sorry.

[Brady]

How about you, Cherry?

[John]

Yeah, Cherry Bomb. Any thoughts?

[Lisa]

That's pizza.

[John]

I agree completely with Peachy Keenan. That's what I think. How about you, Cinnamon? What do you think about it, Peachy Keenan? Cinnamon in Dakota. With today's thoughts, I have to apologize to both Brett and Toledo on this day because the show has been so focused on obvious events and things like that. This is a day that you boys have your own personal celebrations. And I know it's not.

[Lisa]

Yeah, Brett was first to congratulate me. I missed my opportunity.

[John]

And Brett and Toledo have their own separate Judge them, if you will. Happiness about 9 11. That has nothing to do with 24 years ago. It has everything to do with. I don't know how many. 10 for you, probably thereabouts. 20, 15. 11 years. 10 years. 10 years.

[Lisa]

And you're 2008 and then official in 2009.

[John]

Okay, so you're 16 years for happy 911 day for you two. Both of their divorces finalized on September 11th. I was told on mine. Mine finalized a little bit later. But that was the day that it was. Oh, today's the day you got the bond.

[Lisa]

We got told.

[John]

I thought you both were finalized.

[Lisa]

Mine's finalized on tax day.

[John]

You were at my house on the 12th. Yeah, no kidding. Came over to my house the next day. Hey, you just gotta get out of there.

[Lisa]

I called you on. On the day, the day.

[John]

Wait, did you come over that night?

[Brett]

No.

[John]

The next day you went to Katero's place? Yeah.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

Okay. Because it was his birthday. His birthday is actually today. Happy birthday to Chris Catero and to my friend mark. He's got three kids and two of them were born on September 11th. One is 25 four and the other is 17. Wow. Anyway, so I, I, I, I, I mean, to do a, you know, cogent show on days like this that are a little heavier. But let's not forget, people live Their own lives. And you two are having quite a day.

[Lisa]

Oh, man. Huge fan of divorce.

[John]

How do you celebrate?

[Brett]

How do you.

[John]

How do you celebrate this glorious remembrance? I'll be doing a few shots this evening. Now, does Matthia get Lord or Sambuka? Malort. He's not doing Malort. You would do him, a lord, as a celebration. Isn't that a loss? No, I know. I just got through saying, you saying do whatever you want, not my Lord. Everything's a win when it comes to that. Does Mathia involve herself in your celebration? She just laughs. Do you get to go take her to dinner or anything? No, no, no, no. You don't get anal on this. You should get anal as like a good wife. Well, she's listening, so hopefully she's. You should give up the Miss New Booty on this because this is a great day for him. And if it weren't for this day, there would be no Brett and Matthias. That's true. Very true. This is. Remember that. This. Yeah, this kicks off. So you have. You better remember that. Better believe. Yeah. Because it's five across the ass tonight. Damn right. She should give that ass up in celebration as being the good wife. 911 is her day to go. You're in heaven now, baby. How about that? Toledo? Does Lisa Celebrate your 9 11?

[Lisa]

Not recently. We can change that though, tonight.

[John]

Yeah, I remember I woke up up this morning and I was going to the car and I heard and I realized that was Dawn. That was your ex wife. She celebrates 911 as well. So you got the bomb dropped on 911 too.

[Lisa]

Yep, because we had just come back from member of certain Member got married that previous weekend.

[John]

That was that weekend. Okay.

[Lisa]

That was the previous weekend. And then that Thursday, it was a Thursday after she texted me during the show, hey, can you come home after the show? We need to talk. And I kind of knew right there.

[John]

Because you said that that Vegas trip we all took as a station, it was good, was great.

[Lisa]

You had a good time, Reconnected a little bit.

[John]

Yeah. Because you were having a little trouble going into that, that you weren't connecting. You reconnect. And then on the way back, she basically says, you know, this isn't gonna be the way it is.

[Lisa]

She was silent on the drive home. Like we had this great weekend when. And just the whole drive back. Yeah, there was like, I'm getting this weird vibe. And I'm like, okay. And then it took until Thursday, came home, sat on the couch, she goes, I think I'm done. I'm like, okay.

[John]

Yeah.

[Lisa]

And it made her mad that that.

[John]

Was my response, because I was, like, identical to mine. We've. We've.

[Lisa]

We've done this. Like, what are we. What am I supposed to do here?

[John]

Yeah. Okay.

[Lisa]

Fight for something that we've crumbled twice.

[John]

Already and done with you. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That seems about right. Really?

[Lisa]

You're okay with this? I have to be. You told me you're done.

[John]

Yeah. And you got. Yours was pretty much the same thing on the end. Like, you're going out. And she's like, I don't want to do this anymore. You're like, yeah, we were supposed to go out to Katero's birthday, as a matter of fact, birthday dinner. And then all of a sudden, I got to talk. I'm like, oh, all right. Guess we're not going to dinner.

[Lisa]

Guess that changes things a bit.

[John]

Well, your stories and so many others out there. And Tyson just text this over, and he couldn't be more right. It says, louis CK Said it best. No good marriage ends in divorce. That's true. Never does. A good marriage is like, this is working out too well. We have to. Everything about that marriage was great, and now it's no good marriage ends in divorce. And that's so true. And that's the other thing. Divorce, like, what you guys say. Louis CK Also said that thing too. You never go out for beers with a friend of, like, a year later, and he's like, I don't know. I'm just been working on this divorce, and it's just not working out. And it's like, it's never, like, a. Like, a year later. It's never a dude who's just. Ah, man, I can't. I can't. I can't do this divorce anymore. It's a great thing. Well, congratulations to the two of you with all the nonsense. Oh, yeah. Salute. I'll. I'll pop one for you tonight. Thank you.

[Lisa]

Some Malort. You're gonna pop some Malort?

[John]

I'm not drinking Malort. Why do you keep bringing Malort to the party? No one wants malort. It's disgusting.

[Brady]

Oh, it's a year ago.

[Lisa]

Is it just a Chicago thing?

[John]

That's a Chicago. Very Chicago. And it's also evidently, a South thing, because remember that girl here, Madeline, knew exactly what it was, and she said that her and her hillbilly friends down in Georgia used to drink Malort. I don't know what it. I'm not having it. I've had it once, and it's awful. I Drink the hell out of it. You do? I do. Why?

[Lisa]

The hell out of it.

[John]

But why? Why? I don't know. Is your dad. I just like. No. Well, you don't drink. Oh, that's true. Okay.

[Lisa]

Like warm or on ice or what?

[John]

Just a shot. Oh, you can't sip. That is not a sip. Yeah, but. Same you with that sambuca, too. Yeah, that stuff. I love that. I'll be doing that tonight. Oh. Oh. Italy's been wrong about a lot in the past. You know, they sided with Hitler, but they jumped the other side, too. All right. Yeah, they did quit. People don't know that about Italy. In the middle of the war, they switched sides. It got a little noisy down there. But I can tell you this pretty much without doubt in my mind, of all the things Italy's done wrong, never won a war, by the way. Think of that. Not one. No.

[Brady]

Wait a minute.

[John]

Sambuca is their worst, but every. Every culture has that version of it. The Greeks have it. They have Uzo. The Jews have one, too. I don't remember what that one's called. They do?

[Brett]

No.

[John]

They do. Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

No, no, no, no.

[Lisa]

That's why I don't know what it's called, but there is a black licorice.

[John]

We call it Chewbook. That's what we call it. We do. Black licorice is not a flavor that's good to eat, let alone. And then there's one that's. There's a Middle Eastern one, too.

[Brett]

That's.

[John]

That's a black licorice flavor, too. I don't want to know what you call it. I know, right? No, I won't.

[Lisa]

Thank you for stopping that in time.

[John]

Yuck. Anyway, congratulations. Thank you.

[Lisa]

Thank you.

[John]

Now I want to get into something else that's freaking me out a little bit, but I kind of like it. We do this game day men's health thing, and as you know, through the commercials that I've said that when I went there, the thing I liked the most about him was when I got my blood checked and testosterone levels, they were high. They were good, and they didn't try to let go. But you can be even better. They're like, you don't need it. And I'm like, wow, that's refreshing from a place that does this, like, try.

[Lisa]

To make you into $6 million, man.

[John]

And the. And the lady that was talking to me was just an action figure. She was. She was in such great shape, and she had, like, great muscles, but they weren't, like, oversized. She wasn't but she looked, like, really fit. And she goes, you look fit. And I'm like, not like you. And she goes, what do you want? And I'm like, what you got going here? Like. Like, your definition is good. And she goes, oh, we've got something for that. And I'm like, oh, no kidding. So she gave me this synthetic thing that I've been taking for a while, and it's working. Like, I've noticed a very. I'm also not drinking soda in honor of Brady having been. And again, super proud of Brady for being so diligent about what. I don't see him behind the scenes, but I believe he's doing what he's doing. He's staying off the bad stuff.

[Lisa]

Is this a forever thing with soda until he hits.

[John]

No, no, no. I'm trying to just get. I was doing too much of that. Okay. It was a lot. And I wasn't feeling bad about it. But I've noticed that since I quit drinking soda for the last one week and a half. Maybe two weeks.

[Brady]

Two weeks.

[John]

My skin's tighter. Yeah. I don't feel like when I eat that. I was drinking a lot of soda and I always have, but it was weird. Like, my skin feels better, my body feels better. It's not like I'm like, wow, what a difference. I'm losing weight like crazy. It's not that I just feel better. But I'm taking this thing called Samoralin, and I did the research on it, and it's really super good, and it's healthy, and it's like a good thing for people my age who wanna still, like, work and see results when they do. I don't wanna be huge, but I just wanna, like, actually see results. When I work out, my feet are bigger and I don't fit in my shoes anymore. My left foot, I'm like Barry Bonds. Remember when people were like, Barry Bonds had a new shoe size when he was older. He's doing something he shouldn't be because he was on the illegal. Yeah, he was on Super Hulk plan. And I looked it up, and the stuff I'm on says, you're not. You shouldn't be seeing any of that. But human growth hormone, if you. Basically, what I do, it stimulates human.

[Brady]

So you don't think it's the Coke Zero, you think?

[John]

I don't think my feet were, like, stymied. Like, we were going to be 15s. But you started drinking so much Coke Zero. But my feet are. I'm now at 12 and a half. My left foot is now a 12 and a half. Half. I don't fit in a lot of my shoes.

[Lisa]

So you get a.

[John]

Like, it hurts. Well, I've got. Literally, when I went on my rampage of shoe buying. Yeah. I have 230 pairs of Nikes.

[Lisa]

Oh, my God.

[John]

Size 12. And now most of my left feet don't fit in them. Oh. And then most of my left foot shoes don't fit on my foot.

[Lisa]

You want to get rid of any.

[John]

No, I'm not gonna get. I'm not giving you. I'm gonna have to shrink my foot. Drinking Coke Zero again. It'll go right back. That's what I'm wondering. Do I have to go? Was Coke Zero California combined with this? But my left foot is getting huge. And it's not swollen. It's growing.

[Lisa]

John, I know you didn't mean this to be a Ching Chavez moment, but my last Testosterone check was 12.

[John]

Jesus Christ.

[Lisa]

Go to game day. Men's health today.

[John]

12.

[Brady]

12 is.

[John]

How are you even. I gotta get a nap. That had to be everything. You. I'm just gonna need a nap. Stairs. Are you kidding? How about that? Man 12.

[Lisa]

You just have to feel.

[John]

Are you a woman? Maybe it's a woman. Like, yeah, you're getting sexy. That's. That may be okay, but then why.

[Lisa]

Is she getting checked for testosterone?

[John]

She might have been growing a mustache. Okay. She's Italian. Yeah. There you go. I knew it was coming. I was gonna jump right on that one. You swung at the pitch before it got to the plate. Brett. Anyway, See? And I kind of like that, but I'm getting. My feet are getting bigger again. Now, here's the other thing. I'm playing a lot of basketball. And when I used to play basketball, I Wore A size 13. And I don't know why that is, but when I stopped playing basketball way back in the day, my feet shrunk to a size 12 and then to an 11 and a half for a little bit, and then they went back to 12. And now I'm at 12 and a half on the left foot. It's weird, and I don't know if this is the basketball thing.

[Brady]

I'm leaning towards that now that you said that.

[John]

I don't know.

[Brady]

It grew when you're playing.

[John]

No, I. I was. When I was in high school, I played tons of basketball. And my. I was a size 13. Can you imagine my candy apple head on this stick body was 13. I was sideshow Bob's feet. Oh, they were so. I was a size 13. And it was mind blowing. I couldn't play shortstop in the men's league because my feet were too big. The coach was like, we don't put people with size 10 or bigger at shortstop. And I'm like, really? I said, but I'm sure yourself. Yeah, no, I'm like, okay. So he moved me to third base. That's why I played third base. The. Because my feet were too big.

[Lisa]

John, have you found that past 12, there are no half sizes I have to wear? I have one size foot that's a 13 and a half, but I have to get size 14 shoes to wear it because there's no half.

[John]

You don't have 13 and a half?

[Lisa]

I don't know. He says, have you found that?

[John]

I'm new to 13. Oh, there you go. I'm new to 12. 12 and a half. 12 and a half's a thing. I got. I can get 12 and a half.

[Brady]

Sorry.

[John]

12 and a half's a Thing? Yeah. I don't know. 13 and a half has to be right.

[Lisa]

Testosterone. 12 says because of prostate cancer and hormone therapy, they say testosterone feeds the prostate cancer, so they gave you a shot. So your body can't make testosterone because it's giving me cancer.

[John]

Oh, go ahead. It'll push you one way. You gotta be careful with that. I see. Okay. Anyway, well, try some of this nasal spray. Some Moreland they put me on. And your feet get huge. But it might be basketball. But I am noticing a pretty quick difference with this stuff.

[Brady]

Are you noticing stuff, you know, working out?

[John]

Yes. I have no aches and pains. I recover real quick. Like, it's nice. It's really good.

[Brady]

And that's the design of it.

[John]

Yeah, Right? Yeah. And I don't. And I do feel like the. Like. Like, like. Yeah, everything kind of activates. Sometimes when you're working out and you're doing something, you're like, I don't even know if I'm doing this right. Like, I don't feel this one. Like it activates the muscle you're supposed to be working. And it feels good. And my calves got real weird. Like it's. It works.

[Lisa]

John, am I sensing a little excitement from Brady? Because it sounds like Kirby's getting some new shoes.

[John]

That's true. Does she wear 12 in men's? Because I got 230 pairs to hand out. Or she's still a 10 and a half.

[Brady]

She wears a. Yeah, 10 and a.

[John]

Half or 11 and men's shoes.

[Brady]

Yes.

[John]

That's some big ass girl feet. Is that right? And so she's one size behind me. One and a half in men. Yeah, one and a half on the left side. That's true. Good point.

[Brady]

You're pet. You're lapping her now.

[John]

Yeah, I'm trying. I gotta pace myself. Kirby can't catch my shoe size. That's crazy. Kyle says, did anything else grow? They said, not your wang. I'm talking about your gigantic Jew nose. No. And I was worried about that when I started to notice my. My shoes don't fit. I looked into the tips and they say that your mandible is that. Oh, no, that's your mandible. What's this thing? The thing Crusher for brow. Yeah, your brow. Whatever that's called. It's got a name. The thing over your eyes that's supposed to shut out and your nose gets bigger. Because Barry Bonds. Remember when Barry Bonds was doing it, he had.

[Lisa]

He did become more.

[John]

He had it. Well, because people in the Giants were like, nobody's head grows when they're 28. Barry, what are you doing? He's like nothing. And he had a new hat size.

[Lisa]

Oh, we talk about all the time. Look at his rookie baseball card.

[John]

He's tiny, but his head grew and his feet grew. He had new shoes and a new hat.

[Brady]

Drinking a lot of water.

[John]

That's not it. He wasn't bloated. I'm worried, but I kind of like it. But yeah, if my. Thank you, Kyle. If my giant Juno starts growing, the only. Like the guys, I'm sure in here will notice. Hey, is your nose getting bigger? Like that was possible, but thank you for being so sensitive about it.

[Keegan Tyndall]

There you go.

[Lisa]

It is.

[John]

Yeah. Barry was a different. But again, you go back and look at a lot of guys, rookie cards, and say, oh, like Giannis Antetokounmpo is a tiny stick man. And then he's just a massive beast. Barry's head grew. That shocked the. Well, you can tell in that picture. Even Barry's. Barry's forehead. It's just a different face.

[Brady]

Immature.

[John]

And his feet went from like a size 12-14s. That doesn't happen as an adult without help. I like it. I like it. Anyway, it's 8. 27. Who's coming in here?

[Lisa]

Keegan Tindall.

[John]

Keegan Tindall's gonna be here in just a second. He's got a job that no one wants. Stand up comedian on September 11. The day after the other thing. You know what? We need him more than ever. So hopefully Keegan comes in here and. And does great. Yeah, it's just a crusher. Otherwise, it's a tough day for Keegan. We'll have him in here in just moments. It's 98. It's out of control now.

[Brett]

Morning sickness.

[John]

98 this already. I'm curious about if you want to wear headphones. Pull that mic down. This is all you. Keegan Tindall is here. He's at the Desert Ridge Improv tonight and tomorrow. And start it all off. Keegan. First thing you said was this is the first time you've been west of Texas. Yes. You have never seen cactus. Never seen it anything but on tv.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Anything but. Nope. Just never in person. I was taking pictures in the Uber and he was making fun of me.

[John]

No kidding.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[Brett]

So you got.

[John]

So immediately went tourism them. Oh. Oh. Like you right away. You couldn't just, like, calm down knowing I'd be here for a couple days? I'll probably see more of these.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I stepped out of the airport and started taking pictures.

[John]

And we have cactus at the airport.

[Brady]

We got to get you a Coco Pellet.

[John]

Yeah, we. Oh, you got to get that.

[Keegan Tyndall]

What is that?

[John]

Cocopelli is. Though you may have seen these.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I don't take things from strangers, guys.

[John]

Oh, no. It's not a drug. Don't worry about it.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I don't know the name.

[John]

Put it under your tongue. Put it under your tongue. You'll be fine.

[Keegan Tyndall]

What is it? A Coco Pelly.

[John]

Cocopelli. It's a Indian thing that. I think it's a Native American who used to be able to blow himself.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Right.

[John]

And they made statues of him. And then they. But evidently it's this flute playing thing. And all tourists come here and leave with one because it's like Indian artifacts. So they feel like that because it got turquoise and stuff like that on it.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I don't. Can I say something?

[John]

I don't want one. Okay, good. That means you're normal. Because most cocoa pedal. Yeah, yeah. They're very strange catcher. Nobody who lives here has one. I don't understand what you mean.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Take one. They're like little figures. Like they're.

[John]

Yeah, you can buy them. They sell. Sell them to tourists who are blown away at the adobe and the like the western stuff. And they have stores filled with stuff like that. Brad, take them to Gilbert Ortega once they get done here. Brad, when you're done, take them to Old Town Scottsdale and he'll. And you. You'll just come out.

[Brady]

You'll get one.

[John]

You'll. Turquoise rings and everything. And a rain stick.

[Keegan Tyndall]

That's awesome. You Guys kind of decided for me.

[John]

It's been predetermined.

[Brady]

Or you can get a little potted plant.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brady]

It's got a cowboy figure in it with a cactus for a dick.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Right. Okay. Well, I've been sitting out there waiting for like a draw to happen.

[John]

I've been waiting for. Yeah, that will happen if you're. If you wait long enough, son. You'll see.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Every time you wait for the bus here, Tumbleweed goes by.

[John]

What is your opinion of. Of the west of Phoenix?

[Keegan Tyndall]

Dude, it's hot. I know that. Yeah, I know it's hot.

[John]

Yep. I love.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I mean, it's like, it's. You can't walk anywhere. I know that.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

At least where I'm at.

[John]

Because you're in New York, so I'm in New York. Just getting up, walking.

[Keegan Tyndall]

So you walk and there's one man yelling at another guy and they're eating each other's arms and, you know, and there's not enough excitement, but. But yeah, I love it.

[John]

Yeah. It's kind of nice, right? Yeah. Think about that. You also told us that you're an Eagles fan, so congratulations for having championships and feeling great about you. Thank you.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Thank you.

[John]

And your dad is a ponytailed. How old is your dad?

[Keegan Tyndall]

He is. He. I think he just turned 60.

[John]

Okay. Just turned 60. And your dad is a ponytail, which means he has to like the Eagles. We determined that.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Ponytail. And he's. He's vocal about how much he likes the Eagles.

[Brett]

It's.

[John]

It's in him. Yes, it's in him with the Steelers. Yeah. But you also said he's ever thrown a battery.

[Keegan Tyndall]

He's thrown everything he's thrown. I've seen him thrown it. Throw a tv, the whole television. I swear to God, it was over his head. He picked it up and two hand.

[John]

Threw it because of the Eagles.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I think just because of the show was bad. Whatever he was watching, he didn't like.

[John]

That the American Idol results were not to his liking it.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I'm unpleasant.

[John]

You can't say that. Sorry. It's a good move, though. I wish I could. Could do that. Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Can you bleep that?

[John]

I got you.

[Brett]

You're good.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

All right, all right. Don't worry about it.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I feel like I'm in class. Like, I'm like, oh, no, I said a cuss word.

[Brady]

You know what?

[John]

Get in the corner.

[Brady]

Nose in the corner.

[John]

Terrestrial radio still has that issue. It's dumb. It doesn't make any sense. But you can't.

[Keegan Tyndall]

You have comics doing that often.

[John]

Oh, we do it all the time. Okay. I'm the worst. Like, yeah, I'll have. I have a button I hit for when I'm gonna cuss.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

So I kind of get ahead of myself.

[Keegan Tyndall]

What's that Philly in me? It's my.

[John]

It's your Philly.

[Keegan Tyndall]

You're talking about my dad. I got pumped up.

[John]

Yeah. And your dad is so Philly that he's a 60 year old man. Where's your mom?

[Keegan Tyndall]

She's off somewhere.

[John]

Do you know where she is?

[Keegan Tyndall]

I do know where she is.

[John]

Did your dad toss her around, too?

[Keegan Tyndall]

No, she tossed him around.

[John]

Oh, is that right?

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

Yeah, she beat him up.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Tough lady.

[John]

Yeah. And so they're. They're not together, obviously, because your dad has a roommate.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah, he has a roommate named Bones.

[John]

Okay, go.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Bones is a. Is a 70 year old man. My dad promised Bones father that he would watch over Bones.

[John]

When?

[Keegan Tyndall]

I have no idea. This is what my dad tells. Maybe they're lovers. I don't know. I don't know. But Bones has been known to one hide knives around the house.

[John]

Oh, God.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Which is very fun.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And then he also talks like a cave. You're like, what's up, Bones? You're like, okay, I don't know what you're saying, brother, but at one point.

[John]

In your dad's life, he promised another man to take care of his son. Even into his 70s.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Even into his 70s.

[John]

Like, this guy's not self sufficient enough to be like, I don't need your help right now.

[Keegan Tyndall]

My dad is Bones boss. Okay, so they worked together forever, and then they got close. Like, everybody's families at work knew each other.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And Bones, dad died and been like. He was like, hey, Bones isn't all there. Okay, Bones has eaten seven batteries this morning.

[John]

Can you.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Can you hold his hand a little bit?

[John]

And so he's like, if I don't take care of Bones, take Bones in, he's gonna. He's gonna wander off into traffic if your dad's not there.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

What does. What does your dad do that Bones works with him?

[Keegan Tyndall]

He's, like, in charge of, like, the custodians at a school.

[John]

Oh, okay. So he's his head janitor and Bones is a janitor.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yep. And you know what?

[John]

Oh, fun fact.

[Keegan Tyndall]

They hate that word, janitor.

[John]

Oh, no. They hate it. Why custodian?

[Keegan Tyndall]

Custodian is what you do.

[John]

I know, but why is it bad to be a janitor?

[Keegan Tyndall]

I don't know. I mean, I don't.

[John]

Yeah, you didn't Ever ask him? Because Bones would have gotten all fired up. I don't want Bones coming out from the pillows.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Bones haunting my dream.

[Brady]

Bones don't go there.

[John]

When you go back, does your dad, do you stay at your dad's place?

[Keegan Tyndall]

I'll stay at my dad's place. Yeah.

[John]

And Bones is there.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I'll lock my door.

[John]

No kidding. Oh, yeah. You fear the Bones and you're like.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I don't know what you're saying. Creeping down the hallway in the, in the, in the front yard, sitting, looking at people.

[John]

Yeah. Do you ever talk to your dad about Bones and how awkward the situation is in normal society?

[Keegan Tyndall]

No, they, they, I, no, you don't bring it up.

[John]

You don't ever look at them and.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Go, well, yeah, I've brought girlfriends back. And then I don'. Say anything.

[Lisa]

And they're like, hey, who is that?

[Keegan Tyndall]

Who's that man? That's too young to be your grandpa, but also not your dad. I'm like, don't worry about. You're nosy. You're being nosy now. Now you're, now you're poking.

[John]

Questions lead to answers and maybe you don't want them.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Exactly.

[John]

Yeah. I, I, I don't like this because I, I want to go all the way to Philadelphia and meet these people like immediately. I've never known a six year old man that's taken care of a seven year old by the promise of.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

His father.

[Keegan Tyndall]

They are exactly what you're picturing and better.

[John]

That's awesome.

[Keegan Tyndall]

My dad once there was a complaint about him on, like, towns will have like Facebook, neighborhood watch groups. There was a complaint. Complaint about him. He was scaring cars.

[John]

That's what that sounds like.

[Keegan Tyndall]

He was like that.

[Brady]

Your dad was scaring cars?

[John]

Yes.

[Keegan Tyndall]

My dad loves Halloween, so he would put like masks on and like jump.

[John]

Out at cars on Halloween or just all the time.

[Keegan Tyndall]

All year, bro.

[John]

Oh, geez.

[Keegan Tyndall]

All year. And he's like, this is fun. This is a great time.

[John]

This is a beautiful time.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I love it. And I'm like, dad, you can't do that. You're, you're 900 years old. You can't be doing.

[John]

It's not normal.

[Keegan Tyndall]

It's not.

[John]

There's really no age to that outside of nine. That makes that still normal.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Exactly.

[John]

He never got past it.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

Tends like they were too old to scare the cars anyway.

[Brady]

It sounds like you'd come home today. Today I scared of Vega, so.

[John]

Do you think a tree.

[Brady]

It's unbelievable.

[John]

He and Bones will say that, like, let's Go, Scarecrow. And they get up and they do it together.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Well, Bones doesn't say much, but he's up for anything.

[John]

He will do anything. Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

My dad's got him on a leash.

[John]

Are you.

[Keegan Tyndall]

He puts bowls out for him at night, and he sleeps on a towel.

[John]

You. You wouldn't be surprised if your dad and Bones were lovers.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I mean, I.

[John]

Or have at least tried it.

[Keegan Tyndall]

It's my favorite joke. My dad. My dad hates it. And I'm like, dude, if I come out here and you guys are kissing, I'm gonna be angry. Well, I'm gonna be happy, but, yeah.

[John]

I'm gonna be happy. You found love.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Happy you found love, but angry. You hid it from me for so long.

[John]

What does your mom say about your dad and Bones?

[Keegan Tyndall]

My mom doesn't give a hoot.

[John]

She doesn't care.

[Keegan Tyndall]

In her own life.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

She's got a husband.

[John]

She. She lives. Is that a normal situation?

[Keegan Tyndall]

Somewhat. Yeah.

[John]

Yeah. What does your mom do?

[Keegan Tyndall]

What?

[John]

What does your mom do?

[Keegan Tyndall]

She. Something with numbers.

[John]

Something. Okay, you don't really know these people very well.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Because I can't go back to them.

[Brett]

Get out of there.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

You know how easy it is to get stuck there.

[John]

That's so true. Yeah. She does someone numbers, so she's Asian. I don't understand.

[Keegan Tyndall]

She's trying to be.

[John]

No, she's. That's her goal.

[Keegan Tyndall]

She's getting the gym more. Yeah. Doing a couple sets of.

[John]

Of Asian whips. Yeah. Keegan Tindall was at the Desert Ridge Improv tonight and tomorrow. And you have. I read about this. I know. Tell people what they're going to see when they see you. You have something that has happened to you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. A lot of.

[Keegan Tyndall]

A lot of. A lot of silly stuff that you're going to see. And then also, I've got, like. I've got some burn scars I talk about.

[John]

Yeah. What happened?

[Keegan Tyndall]

I got hit by a drug driver. I was. I was 19. I was in college. No kidding. Hit me at about 100 miles per hour, and only my car. Like, the car gets hit. I'm with a girl. She's fine.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And only my side of the car explodes. Not fair.

[John]

You were kind of hoping maybe she'd take some of the brunt of this.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And I mean, like, not like the front of the car exploded.

[John]

In the back.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Didn't. The left side of the car exploded.

[John]

Just you.

[Keegan Tyndall]

That's the weirdest thing I've heard.

[John]

Maybe you exploded.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I think maybe I just. I was too excited or something. Yeah.

[John]

Spontaneous Vapors coming off your body. So you lit on fire.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I lit on fire. I went. I went into a coma for about two months. I woke up. I went to sleep in August, woke up in October, and then I spent about six months in the hospital.

[John]

What is that like, waking up?

[Keegan Tyndall]

Oh, crazy. Here's a fun thing you love.

[John]

Okay.

[Keegan Tyndall]

My dad. First thing, I wake up from a coma.

[John]

Did you see Bones first?

[Keegan Tyndall]

No.

[John]

Okay. Thank you.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Only in my nightmares, I wake up, my dad looks me in the eyes, and I know I have new skin on my face. And he goes, dude, they put your sister's butt skin on you. I am on. I'm so, so out of my mind that I start crying. My eyes.

[John]

Yeah. Is it true?

[Keegan Tyndall]

No.

[John]

Oh, they didn't.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I'm so sorry. I was kidding. But that's the. I just opened my eyes. I've been asleep for two months. And he goes.

[John]

They put.

[Keegan Tyndall]

It's. You got a butt face Himself.

[John]

There was no. I'm happy to see. He's been living on this joke.

[Keegan Tyndall]

He was trying to make me laugh.

[John]

Your eyes open? I got one. Keeping it light. Wow. But when you woke up from a coma. Yeah, like, you didn't know.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I didn't know. What I started asking. Is it my fault? I couldn't even.

[John]

Did you remember the wreck?

[Keegan Tyndall]

Barely.

[John]

Yeah. Okay, so you knew why you were waking up.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I knew why I was waking up, but I couldn't.

[John]

1.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I couldn't ask any questions because I had a thing in my throat, like a tube. And then also my hands were too weak to write anything, so I was just kind of stuck in, like, information people would give.

[John]

Oh, my God.

[Brady]

And what was the, like, pain level? No matter what? Because it lasts a long time, right?

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah, it was like. It was. Well, that's why they. They put me in a coma, because they couldn't give me anything more for the pain, or I just die.

[John]

Yeah. So you were induced into a coma. Yeah, my wife once called that seduced into a coma, which I wish they would do more. Do the dance.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And.

[John]

Yeah, she starts to genie.

[Keegan Tyndall]

They bring Bones out in a dress.

[John]

And they seduced into a coma. But you have. You have. So you get to. This wasn't that long ago. You're not that old again.

[Keegan Tyndall]

No, it was. I'm 25 now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John]

Holy smokes, man. And you just lit him for. So when you woke up, you're like, I know. I was in a wreck. Did you have any concept of time passing or did you think you just, like.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Cuz I was on. On, like, Dilaudid, which is like.

[John]

Yeah. They drop you down.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah. Which is really up there. And then you have to go through withdrawals.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And then after the icu, I had to go to rehab. Rehab. So I'm walking through and, like, learning to walk again, man. And I, like, I wrote my first five minutes in there.

[John]

In there.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I would, like, test it out. I knew, like, if I could make the nurses laugh.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Because they hated me. I was being a jerk.

[John]

Well, you had an excuse.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah. If I could make them laugh, I had something.

[John]

No kid until. Were you looking to be a comedian before all this?

[Keegan Tyndall]

I did. I. I went into. I loved comedy movies. Grew up on Will Ferrell. Adam Sandler. Went to school for film, discovered stand up in college, did a mic, and then got hit by one Mike night. One Mike night.

[John]

No kidding. One.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Well, one mike. One mike night. Covet hits.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And then. Then I get hit by a car.

[John]

Oh, my God.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And then. Yeah.

[John]

Yeah. Geez Louise. And here you are. Yeah. This is a product of resilience. Like, you're an inspiration.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And then my favorite thing that I was like, oh, I really want to do this is I go to a. I go to a mic. I got hit by the car. Right. And I tell this guy what happened, and it was, you know, peak 2020. He's like, well, you should have been quarantining. You should have been inside. It's a good point.

[John]

It's a Covid accident.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I should have been inside.

[John]

Had you been inside and behaved, I know. If I would have been putting up.

[Keegan Tyndall]

With Bones next to a fire.

[John]

What did your dad. Bones care. Your dad and Bones, during COVID did they lock in?

[Keegan Tyndall]

I think they. I think they locked in, and I think so.

[Brady]

I think he let Bones wander around.

[John]

If your dad said, we're going to get gay married, would you, like. Would you be his best man?

[Keegan Tyndall]

I think it'd be awesome. And I think the wedding would be so camouflaged, you couldn't see anybody.

[John]

I want to go so bad.

[Keegan Tyndall]

It would be such. It would be camo and, like, Phillies hats and people fighting.

[John]

It's a Philly wedding. Same thing as always.

[Keegan Tyndall]

They'd probably put it in for a two for one with, like, somebody's funeral, you know, Uncle Bill died.

[John]

Side.

[Keegan Tyndall]

We're gonna use the venue for the wedding.

[John]

Yeah. That's awesome. What a story.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

25, and all this is going on, and now here you are in the west for the first time. Yep, here we are. Right. Were you dating the girl that was in the car with you.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I was.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And she was fine, so I had to be on. I had to be on fire. The most handsome I could be. She was like, does that hurt?

[John]

And I was like, you kept it together while you're. No, come on. This hurt me. I'm a man, by the way. I'm just gonna eat all the fire. So you're okay.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah, exactly.

[John]

It's like putting your coat down over a puddle.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I do remember she burned her feet a little bit.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And she was like, well, I got burned, too. And I was like, I will fight you. I will fight.

[John]

But you know what's kind of weird? This is weird. It's an attractive burn.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Oh, thank you. Yeah.

[John]

It's almost like you look good because of it.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. I've actually heard that before.

[John]

Yeah. Isn't that weird?

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah, it is.

[John]

Is that an insulting thing to say?

[Keegan Tyndall]

No. I had a woman come up to me once after a show, and she was like, man, I wish I was a burn victim. I was like, I can make that happen tonight.

[John]

Yeah. Do you have a job? And like, I make your dreams come true.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I'll do it right now. We'll go to the kitchen.

[John]

What's the one part of it that you're like, oh, boy, this got messed up. Everything downstairs is good.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Is everything downstairs?

[John]

No burn.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I had a buddy. I had a buddy who, Because I couldn't talk, couldn't ask any questions.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And my sister had people send in videos. And my best friend Connor, he sent me a video telling me that everything downstairs was fine. Because he's new.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

He's my age. He's like, dude, I want you to know. Nobody's told you. It's your family. Everything's fine.

[John]

He took a peek or he just asked.

[Keegan Tyndall]

He didn't come. They. I don't think they would let him do that.

[John]

Okay.

[Keegan Tyndall]

They would get out of. What are you doing?

[John]

Just under the sheets. Maybe it's my boy. Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

It's my friend in there. You let me look. You let me. You get out.

[John]

But everything downstairs.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Everything downstairs is fine.

[John]

Just. I think it might be fireproof.

[Keegan Tyndall]

It might be fine.

[John]

I don't. I think. I don't know for sure.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Well, I was using it at the time, and then.

[John]

Was it. You're getting a roadie. Did that happen? Is that true? Please tell me that's. Damn it. I wish that was true. And that since you burst into flames. And she just sat back and went, what happened? Wow.

[Brady]

Her head protected it and then how.

[John]

Did she break up with you?

[Keegan Tyndall]

I broke up with her.

[John]

Did you really?

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

What did you do? Why, I just did that burned feet thing.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

Disgusting.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

It was a foot thing.

[John]

Yeah. You make me sick. I can't date a burn victim. No, I think we just.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Like, I wanted to work, and she wanted to have a relationship.

[John]

Ah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

She was like. I was like, I gotta go.

[John]

You didn't love. Love her? Yeah, that was what you just said. I want to do something. She didn't. I didn't love her, so I left. That's exactly what happened. The lie to yourself, Keegan. That's exactly what happened. I don't love you to hear this.

[Brady]

It's not you.

[John]

So you broke up with her?

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

And so she was, like, all in on sticking around and everything else after.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah, it was like. It was like she got pretty tired of me not being around. And then, like, she was like, hey, we could do this again, but it feels like you don't want it. I was like, I don't. And then she gave me a Lego Batmobile on the day of Cool. I know, right? I was opening it, and we broke up in a car. It was near my birthday. She gave me a Lego Batmobile. And.

[John]

And then you said, I don't want this, and I don't want you either.

[Keegan Tyndall]

No, I wanted the Batmobile. That's why I put the breakup off. I was like, do I get to keep this if we. What's the rule on keeping this if we break up?

[John]

Yeah. Yeah. What is that?

[Keegan Tyndall]

I think you get to keep the gift.

[John]

You left the car with the gift and her broken heart in your hand.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah, but I had.

[John]

That's cold.

[Keegan Tyndall]

But I had the Batmobile, and I was opening it during the argument, too. So you heard the crinkling of the rappers.

[John]

You know, oh, my God.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Putting a little Batman together, doing the voice. Is it because I'm a selfish lover? And she said, yes. Yes.

[John]

Yeah. That is it.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

Wow. And then when she. Did she get mean after you guys broke up, or was it pretty? Okay.

[Keegan Tyndall]

No, she's nice. She was me not mean, but she was like.

[John]

She's grumpy.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Correctly grumpy. When I was, like, not around much. No, I wasn't. I was around, but I wasn't present because I wanted to be doing stuff. I was.

[John]

I was focused on Keegan.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I was fresh out of the hospital, and I was like, I need to get my light. I want to start doing this again.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Because I was going to college for film it all halted.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And now I'm like, the fact that.

[Brady]

You could continue doing it was the biggest thing.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Exactly.

[John]

Yeah. Do it.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And I felt like I lost so much time. I was like, yeah, to grind.

[John]

This is a great question. And I got this because I read the book years ago and it changed my life. Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. Up till that point, what was the worst thing that had happened to you? Like, what was the thing you're like, oh, man, that was like the worst day. And then you realized how trivial this can be.

[Keegan Tyndall]

The day Bones moved in, I would say. I would say it's so much stuff. I can't say because it's like family's business. I'm not allowed to put out there. But I would say just like, I lived with my grandma for a little while. A trailer with 12 cats.

[John]

Oh my God.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And that really did a number. She used to name her cats after her ex boyfriends too. That's a real thing.

[Brady]

She got around.

[Keegan Tyndall]

That's a real thing. Yeah. You ever give tuna to a kitty named John Paul? Makes you feel weird. Does not make you feel good.

[John]

Sounds you can remember John Paul.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

And he had the cat. Did. Or the guy.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Both of them.

[John]

Okay.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Well, they were. They had a communication thing going on. John Paul and the cat, they were roommates. They would share.

[John]

So I'm sorry to have said that this was the worst thing that happened to you. That clearly the cat and grandma thing is by far.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Well, I'm looking back and guess who's the drunk driver?

[John]

John Paul the cat. Yeah. Like Toonstas. Oh my God.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah. They're driving.

[John]

Driving cat. Yeah. That's crazy because I always think of that when somebody's got something that they've persevered through, and then you think about all the trivial crap that used to bother you and you realize, man, you can get through so much.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

In your life. And it's.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Well, the problem is when you get a physical injury and you get back to living, all those things are still there.

[John]

They're still around. Still around.

[Keegan Tyndall]

But now you have trouble in the sun. You know what I mean? Like, it's like you still have problems.

[John]

You've added one more thing. One more thing. It's a tough thing as an earthling to have the sun as an enemy. Yes, exactly. That really is. And like you like you have go to like albino's meetings and stuff like that. I've never understood why we. We knew a guy, we called him Snowman.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Right.

[John]

Listen to the show wasn't allowed out in the daytime. I'm like, why do you live in Phoenix? And he said, my parents moved here when I was a kid. And I'm like, they took an Albin to Phoenix. They hate you. Yeah, they absolutely hate you. And he stayed.

[Keegan Tyndall]

He's not allowed. He's a wizard.

[John]

The sun would burst him in. He'd just go.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I don't know if he was like misbehaving in the daytime.

[John]

Yeah, well, there's that. Yeah, well, you don't know that. When sunlight. They're like gremlins. When sunlight touches them, they lose their mind.

[Keegan Tyndall]

They kind of sparkle and then they're blinding everybody. And then they're accidentally harnessing the power of the sun. It's a whole thing.

[John]

Yeah, they're like solar panels, but they use it for evil. Yes.

[Brady]

Grade it in the night, cuz you can. They glow.

[John]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, and they're great because you can see them at night. They're fine. But yeah, I never understood that. So, like, the sun hurts.

[Keegan Tyndall]

It doesn't hurt. It's just if I get. Especially now, like, I'm pretty okay. But now it's like if in the beginning, if I got sunburned, it would have been permanent.

[Brady]

I can't Im.

[Keegan Tyndall]

So it was like you had to.

[John]

Like really avoid super careful of any sort of sun.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yes, exactly.

[John]

Were you walking around with them beekeeper hats and.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Well, I, you know what I was doing? I was doing like. I was standing inside all day and being like an angry old, like peeking through the blinds, yelling at sun.

[John]

People, get out of here. You daytime, get out of my yard. Wow. And they were completely nocturnal for a while.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I was nocturnal and I was recovering inside during. This was like during that period where Covid was ending and everyone was celebrating going outside. So every commercial on TV was like, we're back outside. And I'm like, I'm not, I'm not. You're back outside. No, I'm not.

[John]

You're rubbing it in. Yeah, exactly. Where did they get this?

[Brady]

I'm gonna write some comedy.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah, it's. It's from my leg.

[John]

It's your leg skin.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah.

[John]

Because I've seen that before. I was like, very concerned that they took it off your sister for real. But I still asked.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I cried so hard.

[John]

Yeah.

[Keegan Tyndall]

And he felt so bad.

[John]

But wouldn't it have been better as a comedian to have your sister? No.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Because then my face stinks.

[John]

Oh, no, no. You don't get the anus. I'm dirty as your sister. That are as cheeky are smelly.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Well, also, I just. Like.

[Brady]

He's talking crap.

[John]

She is from Philly.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I could never. I could never. Dude. I wouldn't. They'll. They'll round up here. They'll. You'll have a band of Philly outside. I'll do. I'll.

[John]

I've done it before.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I'll play a little bit of Toby Keith. And they are outside right now cracking bells. They're in the back of trucks. Nobody's driving. They're just pushing. Give it a push. Roll down the hill.

[Brett]

You don't get momentum.

[John]

Yeah, there you go. That's crazy. Your story is fantastic. Hey, you need to start making it out west more often.

[Keegan Tyndall]

I will try. I'll certainly try.

[John]

Beautiful thing. You are the same age as this show.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Oh, really?

[John]

Makes me somewhat hate you.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yes.

[John]

Because it makes me feel ancient.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Makes me hate myself.

[John]

Yeah. But that's okay. I think we all deal with that a little bit. But that's crushing. But I'm rooting for you. That's awesome. Your story's amazing. Inspirational. You're very funny as well. And the hair is pissing me off too. I think that's the bigger thing. Nice. Hair is insane.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Well, it's a wig.

[John]

Oh, good. Tell me where you got it, because I need one of those. Keegan Tindall at the Desert Ridge Improv tonight and tomorrow. Leave us with words of wisdom. Wisdom. Save the planet, guys.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Live your life. Watch adult films as much as you can.

[John]

That's right.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Alone in a dark room with crackers in a crummy bed. That's my advice. Every young man.

[John]

Bones. Very much the advice. Bones Keegan. Pleasure to meet you, man. Awesome. It's 98K upd. It's out of control now. 98. Okay. You P.D. goldberg's morning sickness.

[Brett]

Morning sickness.

[John]

That almost sounds like a country.

[Brett]

No, now that. The ending. Can we just listen to.

[John]

The ending was fine, too. There you go. Look, it's Dale Hellister.

[Brady]

Everybody moved by the ending on a.

[John]

Thursday morning where we need football more than we've ever needed it. A nice distraction will feel great.

[Brett]

You got that, boy.

[John]

Is that a fact? Huh? Do you have any. We did this this morning. I talked about this saying the last thing we need to do is now quiet people. If they have something to say to let them talk. You know, instead of, you know, because they're talking about, oh, we gotta stop, you know, speeches at schools. And it could incite violence. And let's keep everybody quiet. Like, that's exactly the opposite do you have anything that. Like, what was your reaction to yesterday's nonsense?

[Brett]

As a human being, do you want it? First of all, as a human being, if anybody celebrates that. Yeah, I'd like about three minutes with them in a room.

[John]

See, you can't do that. Yeah. I'll tell you this, because this is the thing.

[Brett]

Why can't I.

[John]

Part of the freedom of speech is the right to do things that other people don't like. And you can't match it with violence.

[Brett]

I can't?

[John]

No, no, no, no. See, that's. That's the problem. When an individual takes it upon themselves to say, but I can't, then stuff happens. Like what happened yesterday.

[Brett]

What I'm saying is, again, why would you celebrate anybody dying?

[John]

I do not understand.

[Brett]

Mass murderer or something like that. Okay, whatever. But a normal human being who you don't agree with. I'm sorry. I'll discuss stuff with you.

[John]

Sure.

[Brett]

I'll debate you. Now we're going to get into a fist fight over. I don't need to talk to you. I feel horrible for his family. Horrible kids that are going to grow up without a dad and all that. That just, It's.

[John]

It punched everybody. It punched everybody in the guts.

[Brett]

For a person who was not, you know, a president or something like that, he had that kind of. Kind of effect on. On people. So thoughts and prayers go out to his. His wife and. And family and all.

[John]

It's just weird that. That it hit everybody as hard as it did, you know, because you didn't even have to pay attention to Charlie Kirk that much. It didn't matter what side you were on. Either his side, the other side. Yeah, Normal people all depend. It doesn't matter what they believe. Think this is awful.

[Brett]

Yes.

[John]

So let's get to football.

[Brett]

I mean, we got the Steelers, but wait, wait. We got a Steelers, Cardinals, super bowl, looks like.

[John]

You see, they're both one and. Oh, man, half the half the league is undefeated.

[Brett]

And you know, 68% of teams that win their first game go to the playoffs.

[John]

Well, it's exactly what I was thinking. And also, by the way, you can't win them all if you don't win the first one.

[Brett]

That's just like you can't par all 18 if you don't par the first.

[John]

Exactly. So you're off to a good start. One and O is all you can ask. You may not have looked pretty, but you walked out with a win. And that's all that. Tell me this. Cardinal fans are watching that thing against the Saints. And the Saints are not going to be a good team this year. That's clear. Cardinals almost gave that game back. Like, did everything they could to not put their foot down, but they walked out with a W as a former player. By the way, it's Dale Hell Street. Oh, yeah. And I got a. How about this? Oh, yeah, your sponsor, Dale Sports Report. Yeah, that's what this says. Brought to you by Diamond Coatings and Grinders. Grinding. They're coming to my house.

[Brett]

Grinding.

[John]

Yeah. Not that way. What's up? They do. They did Brady's garage floor and pavers and stuff.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John]

Working on my garage floor, too. Amazing. And so. Yeah. Oh, my God, the unreal how good the work is. So it was so good at Brady's place. I called him up, have them come to my house. They're looking at my pavers, and I was going to get those, like, kind of touched up. And they see my basketball court and they're like, do you want that thing to be that color? Because I have it black and gold. Of course. Course. And I said, absolutely. And he goes, that's going to fade, and we can fix that. And I'm like, really? And so they're putting this thing on there to make it so the paint's not going to fade for years and years.

[Brett]

Get my garage done. All right.

[John]

We got to get you in warranty. Lifetime warranty. If you're tired of looking at boring.

[Brett]

Beat up lifetime warranty for Brady's.

[John]

I mean, that's a pretty safe one.

[Brady]

That's why they came to me.

[John]

They're like, hey, yeah, you get all you can eat at every restaurant for life. Yeah. Everybody's pretty much giving. You've got the double D in you now. I remember there was a guy who had two strokes in this building.

[Brett]

Well, you got to finish my.

[John]

Oh, yeah, that's right. Okay. If you're tired of looking at boring or beat up concrete, call Diamond Coatings AZ and schedule your free estimate right now. Mention KUPD when you book and get $200 cash gift card after install. How about that?

[Brett]

Really?

[John]

Your floor deserves a diamond finish. Thank you. Diamond coatings and grinding. I'm telling you, Brady's place looks great. The plan they have for me is unreal. And they're doing your garage, and that's great. So, yeah, get it now.

[Brett]

Do you got a single carport or you got a garage?

[John]

No, I have a three car garage. How big's your car?

[Caller]

Car?

[John]

How big is your garage? All right. Oh, yeah. Should we talk about the garage in my new house, 40 by 70. Yeah, yeah. All right. Let's not swing our garage addiction.

[Keegan Tyndall]

There we go.

[John]

Good Christ. That's at my old house. Excuse me, I'm sorry.

[Brett]

And then the guy's going to want some tickets to a Raiders game.

[John]

I asked him and he said he's working on. All right, all right. So here's.

[Brett]

I can get them. I just not sure if I can transfer them.

[John]

They'll give them. Well, that may. May be only because you don't know how. How.

[Brett]

Right.

[John]

Once you have them, you can give them to Brett.

[Brett]

A lot of they have the, the small print, the Cowboys.

[John]

This is Dale only.

[Brett]

No, it says that they don't want. They don't Want to pass 75 EX players getting 2 tickets a piece and giving it to every slap dick friend out there. You know what I'm saying?

[John]

It's a good point.

[Brett]

Yes.

[John]

All right, okay, I digress.

[Brett]

That's a good point. But you're right on the fact that I wouldn't know how to transfer. I'd have to have somebody else.

[John]

I've seen that before with you. Would you just stand outside? I never take it to my phone. And I went, all right, well just go in like that. So let's talk about this, the football. So you walk out one and oh, as a former player, see if you can remember as long back as that was, first week, the overreaction Monday, all the things that happen, everybody loses their minds. But is there some validity to the idea of we looks like crap but got the win as a player, is that easier or harder? Would you almost rather lose and go we got now we got our back. So I know you want to win all the games. Games and stuff. But it's like you see teams that kind of no stink. No it might morally be defeated.

[Brett]

Especially when you go on the road.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Again, there's no team this year to go oh and 17. The teams are there going to be teams that win game and you go on the road the season over again. I, if I'm the belief, I'm looking at the 49ers now. Purdy's out, KD's out. Don't play during the preseason season. Yeah, your body needs to absorb some hits. It needs to, it needs to exercise. It needs to do all those things. I think you could steal two to three wins in September if you play your guys.

[John]

If you take more seriously. Yes, but isn't preseason more. The four days before the game we see you guys are already playing football games that we don't Know about.

[Brett]

Well, you, you have, you practice usually Cardinals practice one time against Denver or whoever.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

They didn't have one day. Yeah, it used to be. Yeah. Hey, three days of practice you'd go two a days you had.

[John]

The Raiders would come down. Yeah.

[Brett]

You scrimmage each other and all that. So yeah, you got all you needed. But now you have one practice and it's.

[John]

Yeah. Because the Steelers played the Buccaneers for three days and on the, on the third day they locked it down and it was one on ones on ones.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

And they played a half of football.

[Brett]

Okay, well, so you get to see all you want.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

When we used to go against the Raiders, they were. Was we do a full practice. We do inside run against each other. That's everything but tackling the running back, which sometimes they would do anyways. You do team period, full speed. You do one on one pass rush against each other, one on ones on the outside.

[John]

So when you get on the field week one.

[Brett]

Yes.

[John]

You're a little more prepared. So that's kind of why. But which was surprising was there weren't a lot of terrible games last weekend as far as like performance. Like these guys are out of sort. Although I will say maybe the Bengals would be the one and they played their guys in the preseason.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

Dolphins are an awful. That. That was. I might argue, they might go, Owen 17. They got something.

[Brett]

Mr. McDaniel, my. And I love. And I loved him when he first got there, but he's lost the team.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Yes. He doesn't have any discipline.

[John]

Yeah. But he'll be a great coordinator when he leaves. So you look at the Cardinals and you say, all right, you're one and oh, that wasn't pretty. That's not good. Does it matter to a player in the locker room to say, okay, let's just put that behind us. We're 1 0. We got lucky being 1 0. It doesn't weigh on you like the next game to go, oh, here we go again.

[Brett]

But one thing about football that is great, I think, and is also bad is the fact that you have one game a week. So you play on Sunday. Now you got six days to analyze.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

And get really high, really low. All of a sudden. When baseball, you lose the game, but you're playing the next day. You. You talk about it for two minutes. It's on the next day behind you. You got the whole week. I think that the Cardinals, you look at them, that the performance you found a way to win wasn't pretty awful. I wouldn't say Awful.

[John]

The ending was pretty bad. They were floundering. They got lucky that the Saints were floundering, too.

[Brett]

Okay. At the end of the day, they won the game.

[John]

Right.

[Brett]

And so now you get to watch film you. The thing is, now you've played 60 plays. None of these guys. You can say I practiced for two hours. But you don't. There's no way I've in my mind for time. I was 8 years old. Practice like it's a game. Practice like it does not. Do it happen that way? That's why you see groins and hamstrings. Oh, I think he's okay.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

He's going full speed and practice. And then, boom, game comes.

[John]

Oh, pops out.

[Brett]

Yes. So something happens. So I think that the Cardinals. You'll see a. A great improvement this week in that. In that.

[John]

Because they got real tape on 60 plays. The guys that are going to play all the time played.

[Brett]

No.

[John]

So you can correct.

[Brett]

Yeah. But what's crazy, you're sitting here on a Thursday and I. Valley sports fans who've been stomped on for Gears. My. My question is, what happens? They go out and look the same.

[John]

That's what I'm saying.

[Brett]

If they go out and look the same now all of a sudden it's like, ASU loses. Here we go again.

[John]

I didn't realize this. And you brought this up a while ago, and I think it's absolutely true. Arizona sports can't have nice things. Arizona State finally got some recognition after last year. Dillingham's a thing. And I didn't ever put this. I've never seen a team of mine right. Have this happen to them. And I've never seen something. I'm, like, kind of passively interested happen to them. It hurt me to watch the Mississippi State fans pull the goal posts down and march them out.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

Beating you meant something.

[Brett]

There was. They won one game last year.

[John]

Beating you Miss. That's a terrible football program. And this. And ASU not only struggled, but lost.

[Brett]

Yes.

[John]

And then it wasn't like it was a fluke. They looked bad through. They looked evenly matched from kickoff on.

[Brady]

And going into that game. Kirk. Herb street picked the upset.

[Brett]

Oh, did he?

[John]

Oh, my goodness. Because Arizona State's. But then you watch a team goalpost you. That can either motivate a team team or just send you into absolute freefall. And I. I hate to say it, Dale, you've been right the whole time. Can ASU repeat this?

[Brett]

No, that's. And I'm cheering for them for the first time in My life since Frank Kush didn't recruit me, I'm cheering for them. And. And I love the coaching staff. But again, the quarterback. Are you Heisman Trophy?

[John]

No, that's all Heisman Trophy. That's over.

[Brett]

Really? Yeah. It scares me that death. And now you look at the Cardinals. I think the Cardinals are going to be fine.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

I think the 49ers, they're old. They've already. They're already missing guys. I think that NFC west is going to be very interesting. But I think the Cardinals have a chance.

[John]

I think they can win that.

[Brett]

But now they go out there and poop the bed on Sunday, then it's like, oh, my.

[John]

They proved me wrong last Sunday. Because I was watching and I'm like, I had this team taking the next step and maybe winning this division.

[Brett]

Right.

[John]

And then I watched him and I'm like, they're not doing it. Not going with that now. Well, I still think if you're based.

[Brady]

On week one, right.

[John]

Week one, they're not. But that's week looking. I mean, that's it exactly. Is it possible that we've already had the best game of the year?

[Brett]

Buffalo. Baltimore.

[John]

Oh, the Buffalo. Baltimore. If that was a Super bowl, it would be the greatest super bowl ever played. That was unreal.

[Brett]

Now, was it good to you because high scoring, exciting and all that, or is it good because the Baltimore Ravens lost?

[John]

Because I watched Lamar Jackson start to cry again. I love sad Lamar Jackson. I love even more. And I took the time to do it the next year to make sure I sat through all 30 minutes of John Harbaugh's press.

[Brett]

Did you really?

[John]

Of course I did.

[Brett]

How do you even find these things.

[John]

On the Internet, Dale? They invented this thing in the 90s and it's like amazing how much information is in here. It's like encyclopedias came to life, Dale. But yeah, I went to that and I watched the whole press conference and all the questions and all the pain in his eyes.

[Brett]

Joy.

[John]

Great joy.

[Brett]

You texted Nash and I and you said. Said you actually get more enjoyment out of a Ravens loss than the Steelers win.

[John]

Not even close.

[Brett]

The truth.

[John]

It's not the truth. Even close. The truth. The Ravens losing, especially in that fashion. Absolutely. Themselves on tv. That on the highest. On the highest rated show in America.

[Brett]

No, it's not the highest rated.

[John]

Yes, it is.

[Brett]

Well, you know what the highest rated show last week was? No Star.

[John]

What was it? Thursday beat Sunday?

[Brett]

Well, if they set records for Thursday night, yeah.

[John]

Not Sunday was the number one show.

[Brett]

Just put the star Everybody calm down.

[John]

Sunday night. No. And Dallas was. What do you think of that? They were impressive. I.

[Brett]

For all they've been through, the number one, they. They impressed me. They're more physical up front. But I'm also sitting here going, the loss doesn't bother me. They're on the road, Phil, Philadelphia, all that. But Carter being out and. And I told this story. So I was starting for the Buffalo Bills. We're playing the Raiders late in the season. We're going to the AFC playoffs in 1988. And Howie Long is questionable now how he longs be lined up.

[John]

Maybe homosexual.

[Brett]

No, questionable is for. For the game.

[John]

Oh, I see.

[Brett]

And he had a calf injury. He had a calf injury. And. And he's gonna be lined up over me a lot.

[John]

Okay.

[Brett]

And for those of you who don't know Howie Long, you're not old enough probably to remember it's the same age as me. He's a pretty good defensive line. He's a pretty good defensive.

[John]

I look that much better. You little baby face.

[Brett]

35.

[John]

That's a dig on you. There's Dale Hills paper. Thanks for coming in.

[Brett]

But he was questionable oh week. So I don't know if I'm going against him or is schlup backup, which, you know, I've kept my fingers crossed. Yeah, that's how he's acting, the backup.

[John]

Right. He's.

[Brett]

Holberg's back in. How we walk.

[John]

Oh, you wouldn't want that. That little nightmare.

[Brett]

And I'll never forget walking out pre game and seeing Howie in street clothes. And I went, oh, yes, sir. When Jalen Carter spit coward on Dak Prescott and he didn't play one down in that game. I promise you. Center and the two guard from the Cowboys.

[John]

Exhale.

[Brett]

We're very excited.

[John]

Huge exhale now.

[Brett]

What are you showing over there?

[John]

Just got an email. He needed to see the. It's a thing to have him pull something up.

[Brett]

Okay.

[John]

The Cowboys won that game. Yes. And then CD Lamb dropped the ball twice. And that's when I start to wonder you had this on your team and Michael Irvin was never going to drop a clutch pass.

[Brett]

No.

[John]

Ever. And that. And. And it doesn't matter. Week one or otherwise. You Michael Irvin never walked away going, I blew that one. Sorry, guys.

[Brett]

Right.

[John]

So that's that difference between superstar and like dude who you will never let you down. And what I saw was a lot of dudes who think they're that level. And there is another step and they haven't hit it yet. They're They're.

[Brett]

And, and that is one reason I try and tell everybody who I come in contact with, because most people who are Alive in the 90s think Michael Irwin was there. Again, he was this, he was that, and you know, the first down signs and all that. The reason it didn't bother us was because we knew how hard he worked during the week. We knew what a great teammate he was, and he was not going to let you down. And you look at that Cowboy team. Jay Novichek, he never dropped a pass. Yeah, they call him Johnny Paycheck. Guaranteed first down, third and five. You're gonna throw the ball to Jay. It's gonna be a first down. Michael's not gonna drop a pass. And, and so you have that kind of accountability to your team. Team. Now, again, it would have been a really, really good catch, but you pay a guy $25 million.

[John]

The one that he dropped, that was a big one. That was a, like, that's a tough catch. Another one hit him right in the four and he dropped it. And so I, I look at that and I think of Michael Irvin doing the first down thing and, and, and.

[Brett]

I piss everybody off.

[John]

Because I remember in the beginning of the game last Thursday, CD Lamb was shushing the Eagles crowd after he made a couple catches, got in the end zone, he's shushing them. And I'm like, yeah, you're not Michael Irvin.

[Brett]

No, you're not.

[John]

So if you drop a ball, this comes back and grabs you. And he dropped two.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

And Michael Irvin never, ever had to go, I was a jackass with all my, all my, you know, flamboyant crap.

[Brett]

Now what?

[John]

And then I, and then I dropped the clutch back.

[Brady]

That's the difference, I think, in a lot of the play in the last. I mean, with the way they do it, they, they get burned on 20 plays. And the one they make, they're celebrating and you're down by 30 points.

[John]

But the showboating early, when you're a superstar, you have got to continue to be that all the time.

[Brett]

You better back it up.

[John]

He announced to me last week he doesn't have.

[Brett]

But now, I don't know if you saw this, but evidently he showed up the facility and was catching balls out of the jugs machine.

[John]

Good. He has to Friday. But he doesn't have the mentality he can catch. He didn't need more jugs work.

[Brett]

Right.

[John]

He needs his brain done.

[Brett]

But see, because it was a clutch.

[John]

Time when he dropped the ball.

[Brett]

But see, Michael did that when there Were not cameras around and people not know it.

[John]

He did it all the time.

[Brett]

We knew it. But.

[John]

But Michael ever.

[Brett]

Never.

[John]

Michael never would have dropped a ball and go, I need more jugs work. He would have. He did jugs work catching all of them or not.

[Brett]

Yes.

[John]

CD showed me. Oh, he's not mentally capable of handling the big moment. And that's just week one. That's not an overreaction, though, because he's not a new player. But if that was a rookie, you'd give it to him.

[Brett]

But overall, I'm going to look at the Dallas Cowboys and say, I think this team is as a 8, 9, 10 win team. I think they're going to be a little bit better than we thought they were going to be. But now sudden and again, you look at Jerry. Nobody. Nobody backs him.

[John]

No.

[Brett]

It's a. It's a Robert Sarver thing to where he didn't sign Amari Stoudemire.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

That ended up being a smart decision eventually. It's a five year, $100 million deal. He played two years that were really, really good.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

And the other three years. Yeah. The Knicks can pay him. And what. Whatever you. You paid to Ron Bland. And now he's out. Yeah, for a couple weeks. You gave him a contract last week.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

And it's like, now what? Don't you become a little gun shy?

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

You know, things like, I'm not giving.

[John]

All that money with you. I gotta go to town. Dale's here. Dale's here. The last couple weeks, he missed you. Toledo. He missed you. Dale is brought to you by diamond coatings and grindings. Their polyaspartic floors. I did that. Are five times stronger than epoxy. That's all you need to know. They're putting that kind of stuff in my basketball court. Get it out there. Everybody's garage looks like crap until it looks like this. And I. And mine looks like garbage. Me too. So I'm thrilled about this one. We got diamond coatings and grinding. Get on that right now. You can head over there. What's the website? Brady diamond codings.

[Brady]

Diamond coatings.

[John]

AZ.com. there you go. All right. Head on over there and take a look at it. And they're awesome people, too. And John, Both of them. Great. We'll get more Dale in just moments. It's 98 Morning Sickness. 98 K U P D H's Morning Sickness.

[Brett]

What?

[John]

We got a song. Whoa. You want to hear a song? Yeah. This is a good song. You want to hear this?

[Brett]

I don't Think I do.

[John]

Let's see if you like this. This is the country song I think I can get behind. You know this? Do you know this person? See if you recognize who this is.

[Brett]

Sounds like a pretty girl.

[John]

Jesus. That was ridiculous. In a grin trying to make it ready? Slide your hardwood in.

[Brett]

Come on.

[Keegan Tyndall]

You pulled up smiling with a 12.

[John]

Inch treat I said, boy, that ain't gonna fit between my cheeks you said, don't worry, darling I'll slow But that monster look like it came from a rodeo. Too much pole for my whole. Do you recognize this song? Too much pole for my whole.

[Brett]

I can say it's not been on K and I X lately. No.

[John]

No, it's not your favorite country song? Too much Pulp.

[Brett]

It might become one.

[John]

Would you ever play this for Brooke?

[Brett]

No.

[John]

Why? You both love country music.

[Brett]

Holmberg and certain songs Brooke will never hear.

[John]

Or C. This was from Molly Farton. Molly Farton sings this?

[Brett]

No.

[John]

Yeah. You don't know. She's a country music legend.

[Brett]

But I like her. I go look her up.

[John]

Country music hall of Fame.

[Brett]

She's pretty. Are you kidding me? Come on, Johnny.

[John]

It's Molly Farton. Too much pole for my hole. There she is right there.

[Brett]

I think that. I think that you would like country music of Molly.

[John]

Let me tell you this. I would for sure if the only way to like country music was this. Which is artificial intelligence. This is all fake.

[Brett]

Oh.

[John]

Trying to shove a barn down a rabbit hole. Yep.

[Brett]

Oh, well, that's. That's disappointing.

[John]

Man.

[Brady]

Did he deflate?

[Brett]

That's disappointing.

[John]

You killed him.

[Brett]

Yeah, that just. You didn't have to tell me that.

[John]

Now we did.

[Brett]

Dale, don't look up Molly Far.

[John]

No, I should have waited for that anymore from her. See if you find her greatest hits. If you could.

[Brady]

How many friends you think you would have sent that to?

[Brett]

Oh, my God. A few.

[John]

And you won't play that for your wife as a. Like a fun joke between the two of you?

[Brett]

No.

[John]

Too much pull for my hole. Brook wouldn't laugh at that.

[Brett]

She lives there. Oh, you know what I'm saying, Johnny?

[John]

Well, yeah, she does know Michael Irving. That's true. She has seen too much pull for the hole. Get out of here. With.

[Brett]

No, you've seen too much.

[John]

I haven't seen it. I've heard about it.

[Brett]

Oh, I thought you saw it in the shower.

[John]

No, that was that Brad Marcus guy. Yeah, he came running out of the shower. Ghost white goes Everybody run.

[Brady]

Pole shock.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

No, he was actually staring. And Troy and Michael were talking and he was Staring. And he looked at that. He. He saw them. They both just got out of the shower. And he realized his jaw was open.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

And he turned. He turned real quick, and the security guard was standing right behind him with his jaw.

[John]

What is that? Yeah. That's got to be awful.

[Brett]

Yeah. I mean, you don't want to go through life.

[John]

How far away was Michael's Locke from yours?

[Brett]

Probably about 15, 20 yards.

[John]

So, yeah, it would still hit you.

[Brett]

He would walk through the middle of the locker room without pants, a towel on, without anything on, and he would. He would let things hang out.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

And all I had to do to him is go, hey, Michael. Michael, have you put on a couple pounds? Because he had to weigh 209 or something was the weight he had always. And he'd look at me. Seriously. I got him probably 15 times in 10 years. He'd run in, he'd get on the scale, he'd come back, go, Helly, you got me again.

[John]

But you just wanted to see him run around with that dog.

[Brett]

No, I just wanted him to be a little less confident, for crying out loud.

[John]

Yeah. That is a confident booster. All right.

[Brett]

Imagine you with that with a unbearable.

[John]

With a big.

[Brett]

Yeah, you'd be unbearable.

[John]

So, you know, is pretty close, because I'm just barely unbearable.

[Brett]

Zach doesn't count.

[John]

Zach does count. That's a great band name. Sack counts. Molly Farton opens for sack counts.

[Brett]

I like that.

[John]

Yeah. So talking football with Dale and then. So what was your takeaway? Like, what team did you walk away from week one and say, oh, there's something or one that you're like, oh, that's going to be. And the Dolphins, I think everybody just walked away and said, I think that whole game, Indianapolis was like, who are they?

[Brett]

Right.

[John]

But is it because they're playing that horrible Dolphins mess, or are the Dolphins. Did they just get smacked around by a team that nobody expects?

[Brett]

The thing about Mike McDaniel is he's a great quote. He's. He's kind of fun and all that. And that works for. For a year or two.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

And then once the players start realizing they're kind of want. Running the show, which they are now.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Things are going to go down hill quickly there. Indianapolis. I don't know what to think of them. I. You look that seriously, Pittsburgh putting up.

[John]

As many points as 34 and playing kind of sloppy to do it right.

[Brett]

I mean. Yeah, you got to be. If you're a Steelers fan, you have to be somewhat excited, because in years past, it'd be 21 to 17.

[John]

Tempered excitement.

[Brett]

Yes.

[John]

That we put up 34 points, won the game and played bad.

[Brett]

Right.

[John]

Defense was horrible and just horrible.

[Brett]

And obviously Aaron Rodgers made it through the game. He's. Hey, I saw him interviewed after the game. He's. He almost seems like he's matured 10 years in a year. When I hear him talk now, he's.

[John]

He's seemingly okay.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

And again, that. That could change in a week. But I'm just saying, as of right now, I don't know, he seems. He seems to enjoy Pittsburgh. He looks weird in that uniform.

[John]

That is. It is strange. I remember when Tony Dorsett was a Bronco for half an hour and Franco Harris was. Smith was a Cardinal. It doesn't hit. Even Peyton Manning was weird for a while as a Bronco and then that got normal.

[Brett]

Right.

[John]

But you see, Joe Namath was a Charger or a Ram or something like that. OJ Simpson was a 49er and then a murderer. It all seems so strange, right? Yeah. Joe Montana is a chief and then he ends up in the championship game. Like some of those guys work. Brady is a buccaneer, but when you see Aaron and the Steelers thing, it does really well.

[Brett]

The black and gold just. It's a unique look.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

You know, and. But again, you put up 30 plus points in your first game.

[John]

Only two games went over 60 on the under overs.

[Brett]

Okay.

[John]

Which was the Ravens and Bills and the Steelers and jets.

[Brett]

Was that 4140?

[John]

I don't know. So much heaven, so much joy. And I really. I'm sitting there and I just remember I was in a room of people and somebody goes, john, stop. And I'm like. I master my baiting. We have company. Didn't even realize. I didn't even know, guys. So sorry.

[Brett]

Were you being a Charles Haley?

[John]

Oh, I. Charles Haley. I just gave the old tug roo and look and I finished. I'm like, I'm not stopping. This is the greatest. This is the greatest adult film I've ever watched. Derrick Henry just fumbled in. Lamar is sad. I am thrilled.

[Brett]

Now, how about Derek Henry?

[John]

Awesome.

[Brett]

God, no. No. I take away the fumble.

[John]

No, I won't.

[Brett]

180 yards rushing.

[John]

So what?

[Brett]

Are you kidding me?

[John]

That's awesome. I can run for 180 yards and then crap all over myself too. Awesome.

[Brett]

No, you can't. You get it.

[John]

Once you're out, run for 180 yards and just go. I'm dog tired. What? He force gumped at the end. I'm done running here Gave the ball back. That was great. Oh, what a.

[Brett]

What an opening weekend.

[John]

What an opening weekend win.

[Brett]

Ravens lose.

[John]

Oh, God. It's just fun to say it. Arizona State plays this weekend. I don't know who. If they lose, what happens? Does it all. Does it all go away? Does all of last year's goodwill and fun. They lose this week.

[Brett]

Yeah. If they lose this week, it's all over. Yes.

[John]

You've erased last year.

[Brett]

Last year it goes away immediately. Texas State and they struggle as Texas State. Last year they did.

[John]

I remember watching Texas State and that was early in the year when middle of the year, I guess. But people were kind of like, is ASU any good? That was the game I was watching. And I'm like, this Cam Scoo is legitimately good. I remember watching a year before and saying, there's a guy ASU has that you can't take your eyes off of.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

And then last year against that team, I was like, oh, my. Like, this kid is ridiculous.

[Brett]

But they somehow came back to win that Texas game on the road. Whereas against Mississippi State looked like they were coming back. And then they give up the. The big touchdown.

[John]

In fact, they had to keep coming back. Fan. So if they lose, though, and is that how fast it is as fans will just race last year completely. ASU goes away again. And they were so close to the spotlight.

[Brett]

And they were so close. They're exciting team to watch. They had national, but they're on the top 25 or they lose one game, they're gone. They're gone.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

And if they would happen to lose against Texas State, then, I mean, again, it just goes back to me. We can't have nice issue.

[John]

They can have nice things. Now. Did you see the thing about the top 25 voter in college football rankings? That was woman who had a. Was it Florida who lost? And she moved him up too.

[Brett]

I did see that.

[John]

And. And people are like. And she's like, ah, what are you gonna do? It's got a system. And it's like, I'm reading a lot of comments on that and said, how.

[Brett]

Did she get a vote?

[John]

How did.

[Brett]

How did this lady. How they pick her?

[John]

Yeah, well, how do they. Why?

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

I mean, they could have picked Toledo, for crying out loud. You watch college football.

[John]

Was she the only woman?

[Brett]

No, I think there's more than one.

[John]

Okay, good. That's what I was wanting to know. Because if there's more than one, it's okay. But if she's the only one. Oh, she's just immediately airhearted job. And she's going to be dudes forever.

[Brett]

It's amazing in this day and age how, how you can, how you can find that out if that's the one voter who did that immediately, you know? Yes.

[John]

Anyway, Dale, I want to do a thing here real quick where we're going to, we're going to build a parlay, a fanduel parlay.

[Brett]

Okay. And I get the winnings and.

[John]

No, we'll split them. I'll pay for it, but no, we're not splitting anything. Do it yourself. We'll build the parlay. You either get involved or you don't.

[Brett]

No.

[John]

Your spot sponsored. You've got diamond coatings and grinding as your sponsors now. So you use some of that money. Dale's here because of them. And I'm going to have a better basketball court because. And it isn't even that basketball court was bad. They have the special stuff.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

Oh, my God, I'm so excited it starts.

[Brett]

I can't wait to get my garage done.

[John]

Oh, your garage.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

Well, you got to call them, dad. You got to make it happen. I want to do a parlay where each of us pick our own team. Right? And then we build that parlay based on facts, whether or not we can do it. Brady will stay. Start with the bungles.

[Brady]

Got a cat fight this weekend.

[John]

The Panthers Jags.

[Brett]

Oh, Panthers in Arizona, huh? Nope, Panthers in Arizona.

[John]

Oh, they're here. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. Jags, Bengals, who do you got?

[Brett]

Ooh, Jags.

[Brady]

It's in Cincy.

[John]

Jump up and get you.

[Brady]

Jags aren't didn't look too bad. I, I, I gotta go with Cincy.

[John]

Going with your banks. Right? Put it, put it on the board.

[Brett]

After that seven yard second half that they have.

[John]

Yeah. They all seven yards.

[Brady]

I think that's going to change this week.

[John]

That's pretty safe bet right there. Over under on yards in the second half. Eight, I guarantee.

[Brady]

Fourteen.

[Brett]

Yeah. All right.

[John]

They're going to double it.

[Brett]

$150 million when the quarterback and two receivers.

[John]

Your Bears. Who are they playing? The Lions in Detroit. Yeah.

[Brett]

Lions are going to be mad.

[John]

Do you pick your team and put it in our parlay? Are you kind to the parlay?

[Brett]

Are you are. Do you want the parlay to win?

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Or is your pride gonna cost us money?

[John]

Exactly.

[Brett]

Pride.

[John]

You're going pride. You're picking the Bears. Only because I'm watching and watching the game with one of my good friends. Keep in mind, Lions fan, I can't. When you say pride. That's what you call a group of Lions. Maybe you pick the pride. I'm taking the Bears.

[Brett]

Point spreads.

[John]

I think it's six on that one.

[Brady]

It's six.

[John]

Six and a half. Yeah. Okay, thanks.

[Brett]

Well, there goes our parlay.

[John]

Who the Cowboys play. I don't even know who they got.

[Brett]

Giants.

[John]

They got the Giants in New York?

[Brett]

No, in.

[John]

In Dallas. Okay. Four and a half easy. They're four and a half. You're gonna take your team.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah. How can you not after that showing last Thursday? They got 10 days off.

[John]

I got a tough one. Steelers have the Seahawks in Pittsburgh. That's a tough one. Seahawks are pretty good. They're pretty good. I'll say. Take Steelers though. I'm going to take the Steelers cuz.

[Brett]

They'Re going to win better than the Steelers. I would take the Lions. I would take the.

[John]

He's the only one screwing us up.

[Brett]

Screwing us out of money.

[John]

All right, you might be screwing us out of money. I'll put it in.

[Brett]

I think. I think that there should be some penalty if you pick your team.

[John]

Yes.

[Brett]

And that's what loses the parlay.

[John]

Exactly.

[Brett]

There got to be some punishment. Your quarter of the parlay.

[John]

Whenever we do win, you're the ones that you screwed up. Okay, I like. Okay, I like that. And that's true for all of us. Okay. All right. Seahawks beat the Steelers. It's like I'm down 25 of the hundred.

[Brett]

Yes.

[John]

Okay. I like it. I'm good with that. All right, we can do that. You're all right with that? I'm all right with that.

[Brady]

It's a plus. 1077.

[John]

How about this? If you're the lone wolf that loses the parlay, you owe the other guys 25 bucks.

[Brett]

I like that.

[John]

Yeah. Even if the parlay loses just based.

[Brett]

On you, you and you only you.

[John]

Pay the other guys 25 bucks. You.

[Brett]

You pick the damn Bears against the.

[John]

You pay us back. That I like a lot. That's if you're the lone wolf, which you are staring directly at this one. What could happen? Seahawks could be Steelers.

[Brett]

Well, you can work the overnight and cover that.

[John]

No, no, I wouldn't take a month overnight. All right, so this one says you can't mate Dale's wife, but he'll gladly take your handouts every Thursday. F you, Dale.

[Keegan Tyndall]

Yeah, that's true.

[Brett]

You don't want to meet my wife anyway.

[John]

I would love to meet you. I would love to meet her and give her Dr. J. Schwartz's card. And then I have a therapist that she should probably Want to see? No chance at all. Never.

[Brett]

You can meet my son in law. You can meet my daughters.

[John]

Your son in law's as acerbic and awful as I am.

[Brett]

Yeah, but he knows how. He knows how to play the game.

[John]

So do I.

[Brett]

No, you don't.

[John]

Dale. I would be such a gentleman into your wife.

[Brett]

See you. You would walk away, but the whole time, my stomach would be.

[John]

I know. That's why I want to go use.

[Brett]

The C word just to be a jerk.

[John]

I don't. He does that normally. It's not just to be a jerk. That's every day.

[Brett]

Boon Valley. I invite you out to a nice country club and you're talking to the car girl.

[John]

And I said the C word.

[Brett]

Acceptable.

[John]

I said the C word. And she goes by C word, you mean. And I said. And she said, oh, yeah, that's what I thought. And then she opened her mouth and started to try to kiss me. I'm like, no, that can't happen.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

I said, I know you're excited because all these old men are afraid of me.

[Brett]

I got three notes from the management company. You got nothing to allow Holberg out here again. Your memberships.

[John]

No, that's not true. All I have to do is go over there and be racist for a second. They'll welcome me right back in. It's a country club. I love racism. Well above the Seaworth and baseball ball. Do you even care? Do you watch the Dodgers with their.

[Brett]

You know, dimebags are only three and a half games out of one. Remarkable. Yes.

[Brady]

And there's 20 games.

[John]

Tori Lavello is the most underrated. Give me nothing. I'll do something with it. I'll at least keep you average.

[Brett]

But it's one of those things like John and you know this. The fact that, hey, if a football team's out of the playoffs, all of a sudden they win three of their last four games.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Everybody's like, oh, this is going to build up for next year.

[John]

Does it?

[Brett]

Not really. Yeah.

[John]

I.

[Brett]

Are they playing better? Because there's no expectations. When you go into the season with expectations. But then you look at it, they've lost 92 people.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

You know, a lot of their really good players, they traded away people.

[John]

They're always competitive. Yes. And that says something about who's in charge, because it's different guys all the time. That's a. That's a. That's a team that just doesn't get incredible.

[Brett]

Your sons. I can't believe you're gonna re up your already did.

[John]

Rah.

[Brett]

Rah la la.

[John]

I don't know if I'm gonna do any of it. I'll go. I like to. I like Anthony and my. My crew and Kevin is fun. And I. I. You're right. Now just. Let me just say you're right. It's gonna be. It's gonna be a slog, but we'll go. We'll have some fun. We'll go for.

[Brett]

Why get invited back this year if you bring Brooke? Absolutely not.

[John]

Can I take Brooke to a. Can I take your wife to a sunscreen?

[Brett]

John, Pull up in front of my house.

[John]

Oh, my God. In a little bow tie. Flowers. Can I take Brooke to a sunscreen? Why can't I get to know her without you? Then you wouldn't be nervous.

[Brett]

I. I'd be. My stomach. I'd be throwing up. I'm more nervous than playing the Super Bowl.

[John]

All right, we got an entertainment drill coming up. Dale's done it. We've got our pics in. We'll put them up online. You can get in with us, but that doesn't mean Brett has to pay you. Just us. When his parish lose. It's 98. It's out of control now. 98. People are very upset that you are so insecure that you won't let me have a dinner with your wife.

[Brett]

You're not meeting her, John.

[John]

I could take her over to the Global Ambassador.

[Brett]

What's that?

[John]

It's a nice hotel over here on Fort Hotel. It's got a beautiful restaurant in it. It's known worldwide. Now we have a nice dinner, huh?

[Brett]

Why don't Megan and you, Brooke and I go out?

[John]

No, no, no.

[Brady]

That's why I say in the Sun's game.

[John]

No need for that.

[Brett]

How about the four of us?

[Keegan Tyndall]

No.

[John]

Because you got a real problem with one of these things. We got to straighten it out before any of that.

[Brett]

Can I have a huge problem with one of these things? And it's. I'm looking at it.

[John]

Before any of this stuff can happen, we, Brooke and I have to be in the same room and make sure we have chemistry.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

Would you allow Brady to go out with Brook?

[Brett]

Yes. In a heartbeat.

[John]

That's ridiculous.

[Brett]

I. I would even play with the idea that you and her.

[John]

I am so sexually dynamic. These two guys do not threaten you in any way, shape or form that your wife will fall for them.

[Brett]

It's not falling for. Is that I will not have.

[John]

What about Toledo? Yeah. Would you let Toledo go? I don't know.

[Brett]

That shirt looks a little too small.

[John]

For him and well, it's not the shirts. Let's not blame this shirt. That's, that's so sad that John, you've.

[Brett]

Known that for a number of years.

[John]

That I'm very sexy compared to Brett and Brady. And the wives would run to me over that. Yes, I understand.

[Brett]

So Brady would be polite. I know Brady would treat her with respect. So would I. I know Brett can turn it on for a little bit. I know you can, but you wouldn't because you want to get me in trouble.

[John]

And the problem is I would turn it on and she'd be like, this is awesome.

[Brett]

And then you'd say, and then say the C word.

[John]

They have rooms here.

[Brett]

They'd say the C word.

[John]

Yeah, I would not say the C word. She probably would.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

You know what I want? I'm like, wow, C word was involved in that.

[Brett]

I'm going home to Dale.

[John]

Yeah, no, she' just keep blinking and I'm like, I don't do Morse code. What are you telling me? Save me. Well, I understand that you're threatened sexually.

[Brett]

Yes.

[John]

And that's why your wife is not.

[Brett]

That is all it is.

[John]

Probably a good move considering I, I.

[Brett]

I would allow you to take Megan myself.

[John]

Brooke. Dumb. Nobody likes dinner dates with couples. It's disgusting.

[Brady]

I love it, though.

[John]

It's the worst Plate of dates with with couples is awful.

[Brady]

You can take my wife and I to stake 44. Allow that.

[John]

I don't want that. No, I know. Did you hear what he said? He gets them. I don't want to buy you anything. No, that's fine. Brooke and I can go make sure it's okay.

[Brett]

Hey, well, let's make it through one more year.

[John]

Has she even had an opportunity to google me?

[Brett]

No.

[John]

You've never given her a name?

[Keegan Tyndall]

No.

[Brett]

She doesn't know what radio station I'm on.

[Brady]

What if he'd start out? What if he'd write her a letter first? What if I wrote like an introductory letter?

[John]

Like Brady could write her letter and she's like, oh, a make a wish kid wrote me the letter. How can we help?

[Brett]

I, I, I saw Brady writing. I think he's actually identifying as a left hand rider. He's a right hand.

[John]

Yeah, he just put it in his right.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John]

Are you sure you're left.

[Brett]

Dear Dell, I love you.

[John]

His handwriting, horrible. Yeah, it says it's not cheating if I use my Jew nose. Maybe. Yeah.

[Brett]

It's not the looks. I mean, she's seen ugly people before.

[John]

I know. Every day. Every day. Don't walk into that trap every day.

[Brady]

She's numb that.

[John]

She's numb to ugly. All right, it's time for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by my [e-mail], the home of tactical black self defense training. We did some great stuff yesterday, and I accidentally. My knee landed where Josh, one of the trainers, one of the. He's a superman. And we were doing a ground fight thing and his. His taint hit me in the knee so hard, hard, I thought I smashed his balls to squishy flat. I don't know how I missed his balls, but you're uncapped. And here's what I learned. You know how when you brush up against a woman's boob and you feel it on your arm that you shouldn't have touched? Like, if you hit a girl in the arm, you just know a boob touched arm and your arm kind of like radiates. I touched a boob for like 12 minutes. When your knee hits a man's taint, which is the f. 53 years old and never put my knee on a man's taint before, and that kind of force, you know exactly what happened. My knee would not stop letting me know we touched another man's tank for like 15 minutes. I'm driving home, I'm like, when will the sensation go away? Josh was okay, but it was great. We did have a conversation, though, because obviously yesterday is a, you know, a crazy day and the day before with the girl on the train and the self defense things and little things you can do differently in that situation that would maybe help, I don't know. But we talked about, like, how easy it is for people to. To get in on stuff. I said it this morning, Dale and I, like, every morning I get here at pretty much the same time. I didn't realize it till yesterday afternoon that every day I look around, is there anybody out here? It's going to be trouble for me. It's dark and I'm in that world and I'm like, that's pathetically sad. Tony the trainer. Yes, Tony the trainer. He's great. He brought up yesterday. He goes, did you ever see the YouTube? Have you ever seen the YouTube video where the guy just carrying a ladder around and it gets into everything? Everything? You carry a ladder. No one questions you. He got into a stadium. He. He gets into everything. Walk around with a ladder and like, I'm here for the ac. Oh, okay.

[Brett]

Well, I just know when I saw that. I know, like when we go out to eat Brooke and I, I, I need to face the door.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

I always need to be facing the door. I need, I need to know what's.

[John]

And make sure there. What's behind you. Just be spatially aware. Yeah. And aware of your surprise surroundings. That, that ladder thing freaked me out. And it was like, wow, I never thought of that.

[Brett]

I throw a vest on and get in anyway.

[John]

The guys that walk around here, just one of those orange vests and say, hey, we're here. Somebody called about the toilets. Boom. And so you got to keep your. You never know when crazy's gonna get you. And two last two days, boy, the news has let you know that it's. We're fragile and anything can happen. It doesn't mean you should use fear to go try this. But why not put a little something in your back pocket and have some training and some planning and some thought. Thought about your safety and the people around you. It's an unbelievable way to go about it. But man, it's, there's no harm. And learning on how to go into a room differently. Even little things like Dale said, they're sitting with your. Your facing a door or have your back to a wall and not a person. Little stuff like that. It's just spatial awareness. And then you learn how to go. We had some good, good fighting yesterday and it was a blast to get in great shape while you do it. Just check it out. It's worth your time and it's definitely possibly life saving. Reactdefense.com it's the home tactical black Brady. Entertain me.

[Brady]

Yesterday Bloomberg said that Oracle co founder Larry Ellison is overtook Elon Musk and he lost again. Yeah. And then Forbes claims, well, no, Elon.

[John]

Still on top, made $101 billion yesterday when his stock like had a 30% bounce. Yep. And he went to like $374 billion which would have overtook by 4 billion. Yeah. And then he lost a few billion. At the end of the day, it was a little drop off. So Now Elon's number one again. These two guys are battling over who has more 350 billion or $351 billion. And to lose 2 or 3 billion and go, I lose like astronomical amounts of.

[Brett]

Wouldn't you love to be in that conversation? Damn it. I'm in second place.

[John]

I'd love to be the guy who lost $3 billion and went, Geez, tough day that I would like to have $3 billion to lose. And I could do it.

[Brady]

Hulk Hogan left his estate to one beneficiary because Brooke the daughter says, I don't want to be any part of it. All goes to Nick.

[John]

The son.

[Brady]

Yeah, the son. Which is $5 million in assets and then another 11 million in real estate.

[John]

Hulk only had $16 million. Yeah. How you been done better than that? 40 years of being the face of wrestling and merchandising.

[Brady]

Bad investments maybe.

[John]

Or that divorce money that took a chunk. Cut him down. Bubba's a love sponge. Ton of it.

[Brett]

Wow, a love sponge.

[John]

That's a guy he was best friends with. He was a radio guy. You got to read the paper some days.

[Brett]

No, I don't.

[John]

I know Dale's got a great story.

[Brett]

This is. This is eye opening.

[John]

Okay.

[Brett]

All right. Ten successful artists not in the Country Music hall of Fame. Oh, can you believe. I mean, some of these names, it's. They're. It'd be like keeping Terry Bradshaw, Joe Green out of the hall of Fame.

[John]

Okay.

[Brett]

Blake Shelton.

[John]

He's not done yet.

[Brett]

Yeah, but you get put in while you're still singing. Dwight Yoakum.

[John]

I like Dwight Yokum.

[Brett]

Clint Black.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett]

He should have been the very pretty. The very pretty Faith Hill. Troy dated her before she, did he? Oh, yeah, a couple times.

[John]

Did he finish that off?

[Brett]

John Michael Montgomery. Now you look. Come on. Jmm.

[John]

Sing one of his songs. What does he sing now? We've reversed roles here. What the hell is these?

[Brett]

What?

[John]

It says song.

[Brett]

I don't know.

[Brady]

Is the guy behind Wild.

[John]

That's a.

[Brady]

Similar name.

[Brett]

No, no, no, that. That's not John, first of all. Horrible.

[John]

Yeah, that's It. Something.

[Brady]

I don't think it's. No, I don't think that's.

[John]

It isn't. I don't know.

[Brett]

Here, let me see.

[John]

Here's a little John covering.

[Brett]

There you go.

[John]

My sister looks real good in them pants. I think I'm going to do the pants dance. I wasn't wrong. Exactly what he sounds like.

[Brett]

Boy, I tell you what you're rating. They played you. By the way, are you now the second highest rated morning show here?

[John]

No. Well, it depends on the demographic. There's a lot of people.

[Brett]

Yeah, started off that way. Yeah.

[Brett]
