  • (Multiple “rock concert” and parody scenarios continue up to 24:00)

  • Quote:

    "My first one was Emmylou Harris at the New Mexico State Fair ... it was terrible." – John (30:28) "Uncle Mike took two young boys to go see Bread. I wanna make it with you." – John (31:59)

• Running Jokes:
  John mercilessly teases Brady’s wholesome first show, joking about “Uncle Mike,” and likening going to see Bread to something creepier.
  • Quote:

    "Uncle Mike likes when little fellas up against him like that. Just sway with me." – John (32:29)

• Contrast to Megyn Kelly Live:
  They quip about the absurdity that some kid’s first “concert” experience will be a Megyn Kelly arena show, as opposed to a real band or performance.

---

5. Final Riffs: Sports, Fashion, and the Absurdity of It All (53:15 – 55:23)

• Arena Events vs. News Events:
  John answers a listener: he’d rather see the WNBA than Megyn Kelly live, since "at least it’s entertainment that makes sense in an arena."
  • Quote:

    "I don't like making news people super celebrities. WNBA is at least trying to put an entertainment package together ..." – John (54:22)

• Childhood in the ‘Old West’:

  • Quote:

    "I was homeless. Cowboy hat and Walter Payton sweater with boots on ... If it wasn't for my mom, I'd have had chaps on." – John (51:09)

[Radio Host 1]

You're listening to the HMS podcast brought to you by MMP Guns.com, your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories.

[Radio Host 2]

You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? There you go. It's miles to nowhere. Thank you, Katie and the Hobbs getting us started here Wednesday morning. And I hate to break it to Brady, but watching the news last night here in Arizona and they've noticed that. And I'm not saying it's your fault, Brady, I'm saying it's the people's fault. You have something to do with this. Though they have noticed a massive amount of Arizonans removing themselves from the organ donor list in the last four weeks. I can't figure out why. I'm like, I know why. There's a 35 year old lady that says she's living proof that organ donations save lives. She's undergone two life saving liver transplants. Transplants. Two. Said the first donor allowed me to grow up, attend high school, go to college, study abroad, meet my husband and continue to make memories with my family. And the second one allowed her because it failed, evidently midway through there to get another one. Got it to her. She's good. But Donor Network of Arizona is, for some reason, since end of July, noticed a massive amount of registry removals. I know what it is. And it's documentaries and the Internet once again saying that doctors are just taking organs out of people right before they die, like in car crashes, because there's big money in organ donation. I saw this documentary, it was online so you had to kind of look for it. But it was basically saying there's a lot of conspiracy, that they'll steal your organs from you if you're an organ donor. If they notice you're an organ donor, they don't try to save you, they try to take your organs. I know a guy who does this for a living and I kind of jokingly said that to him. And he goes, no, never do. No doctor would ever do that. I'm like, that's what a bad. That's what a bad guy would say. That's what he'd try to convince. You can't win in a conspiratorial argument because everything you say to defend yourself sounds like you're covering up the conspiracy. Because a conspiracy doesn't need facts, it just needs craziness. But so, yeah, they've started to pull off.

[Radio Host 3]

And the other news, you know, that they're throwing out there too, like Oh, I think within five years, we'll be able to 3D print certain organs.

[Radio Host 2]

Don't get your hopes up for that. If it's there, it's there.

[Radio Host 3]

We got pig kidneys now.

[Radio Host 2]

When I got my shoulders replaced from my mess, all the doctors talked about was what was going to happen to me. And I is a pretty extensive surgeon. Now, keep in mind they take. Take your bicep, tendon off, they take your. Your. One of your strapped on to your chest muscles, your pec gets pulled off, your tricep gets detached, your shoulder gets detached. They cut the bone in half, they add this little ball on the end of it, and then they put plastic in and then try to put everything back together. Yeah, and it hurts for. It's not a comfortable, like, recovery the whole time. The doctors are like, in a few years, we should be able to do this through any sort of, you know, what they call a stem cell stuff. And it should go in there and it can repair the bones itself. And we should have the technology in five years. Should be amazing. And I'm like, well, should I wait? Well, now you need this now. Well, then quit telling me about how great it's gonna be and chop me up old school. I know when doctors start telling me how things are gonna be someday, it's like going to a car dealership and going, what's this? Oh, this is nothing. In five years, this thing's gonna be self driving. I'm like, well, I shouldn't buy one then. Oh, no, you gotta have a car. Stop that. So don't get your hopes up for that, Brady.

[Radio Host 3]

Just inject you with nanobots.

[Radio Host 2]

It says there's over 2,000. Oh, I heard about nanobots too. They cure everything. And I'm like, I don't even need it. Won't. Won't do bone work. You're way too far gone for that. And I'm like, thanks. Quit telling me about this. More than 2,000 Arizonans desperately waiting for organ transplants, and this guy's on the list right here. He's going to get on there soon. And with the news of Brady needing a kidney, people are just leaving in droves from the program. So terrifying. How many people do you think left the registry since you've announced that you needed a kidney? Just take a shot.

[Radio Host 3]

What do we got? I'd say 5.5 million.

[Radio Host 2]

That's right. It holds the whole. That's exactly the number, Brady. Sorry. That's exactly right. All of Phoenix said nope and pulled no. Since July, 2500 people have inexplicably just gone and said not doing it. We have a pretty popular radio show here. This is starting to add up because It's. In our 25 years on the air. This has never been a thing where we've heard that people are, like, in droves running from it. It's either you.

[Radio Host 3]

I thought they liked me.

[Radio Host 2]

It's either. No, yeah, they do. But they know you, and they know that there's a good chance you're going to get their super healthy kidney and then just go right back into being terrible. I'll tell you this, at least in front of us, Brady has been very good. I haven't watched you snack on any dusty, gross snacks since. Not one. You used to eat those terribly unhealthy dirt snacks that you thought were almonds. Well, there's cheetah, but you would bring roasted almonds in that were covered in super salts and roasted in dirt. And those are terrible for you. And you always, you know, had like a homemade bag of some sort of treat your hands were just fumbling around in the whole time. And you had dirt on your face from the ranch or parmesan, whatever was all over it. You haven't done it since then. Those dot pretzels. Those dot pretzels. And the worst part is in the morning when it's dead quiet in our office, you know, just every once in a while, you'd hear for like 11 minutes while he gets his little paw covered in dust.

[Radio Host 3]

Family bag.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah, well. And you're the family family bag of I.

[Radio Host 3]

Look at that. Yeah, I am in the family now.

[Radio Host 2]

Family bag of food. Think of how gross that is. And nobody ever pours the family bag out. The whole family puts their booger hands in there anyway. So I can vouch for Brady at least what I've seen. To all you people that are running from this program, if you give him one of your kidneys or you're. You know, here's how it works. You would be on the list, and then you'd be in a horrible rollover crash. And then you'd be dead. And then your kidney would go into Brady. He's not going to abuse it. At least it appears that way. As of now, he's treating his one remaining failing kidney pretty well. The new one you're going to have to get if you keep this lifestyle up. What you're doing in front of me, I don't know if you're driving over to Viet Shack and eating out of the trash on the way home. That's Something I haven't seen.

[Radio Host 3]

I haven't dumpster dives yet.

[Radio Host 2]

He probably thought about it.

[Radio Host 3]

There's been, you know. Have there been temptations? Yes, sure.

[Radio Host 2]

I'm sure of it. This is a drastic change for you. Have you lit up any VH shack since?

[Radio Host 3]

I have not.

[Radio Host 2]

Because the big concern was you would. Ronnie told me that every day after work, you would go to lunch with somebody, and she didn't know where you were going. Yeah. And that had to.

[Radio Host 3]

No, I've been pretty particular when we. You know. I've had lunches with some people.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 3]

And they know.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 3]

Where do you want to go? Here's a good spot. I went to a new one yesterday.

[Radio Host 2]

Where'd you go?

[Radio Host 3]

Kava.

[Radio Host 2]

I don't know what that is. Oh, the Cava.

[Radio Host 3]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah. I've been to Cava.

[Radio Host 3]

It's like a Mediterranean chipotle.

[Radio Host 2]

You just have to be very careful. Good with salts and stuff.

[Radio Host 3]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

There's a lot of restaurants are all sodium based. That's what their food tastes.

[Radio Host 3]

And I look at the menu before I go, saying, like, if I'm going out, what can I do? I got invited to the Cardinal game to a suite.

[Radio Host 2]

Nice.

[Radio Host 3]

This past Sunday, and it was all stocked and everything.

[Radio Host 2]

You can't do it.

[Radio Host 3]

Not going.

[Radio Host 2]

Can't do it.

[Radio Host 3]

It's too traveling. But just saying. Yeah. I just.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah. You're basically kind of the same as.

[Radio Host 3]

Charlie, there to watch Cardinal football.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah. Charlie Sheen's got his hiv. You can't bring him into a room full of whores. He's gonna spread the hiv. You're the same way, only you're the whore and the food is the disease, and it's gonna spread into you. You can't do it. I'm proud of you. But, yeah, for all the people you know, it's okay. Take a breath and then hop on over and go back in and check. Organ donor. And hopefully you die in a horrible car accident and Brady can live on. That's what. That's the. That's the dream of organ donation, really, Is. Every time you check that box. Every time you check that box, an organ kneader starts to weep and pray for your death. That's essentially how the organ donation program works, especially if you're young. Oh, one of you young, healthy workout people. Brady sees you. That's why Brady's going around. I noticed that the other day in the office. He's like, hey, we have this new girl downstairs, Jessica. She's pretty young.

[Radio Host 3]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

And she's got a daughter that's young. And Brady was talking to her, and he goes, how you doing? It's nice to see you. I'm Brady. I work in the morning cup, so can I see your driver's license? And she was like, sure. I do this to all the new recruits. Hands a driver's license over. And he goes, nice. Gave her the license back. She's an organ donor. Oh. So now Brady's rooting for Jessica to get into a terrible mangled metal crash of.

[Radio Host 3]

So you could just do version like in Hunger Games.

[Radio Host 2]

Well, I saw him, and I know something happened. Yeah. Oh, it'll be great in the sky. And I saw. He was. He asked her too, as I was. Because I was talking to Joe sits next door downstairs, and I heard Brady go, what kind of car you got out there? And she said it. And then. And then I looked out the window and Brady was cutting the brakes. It's terrible. But he's got to get that kidney and soon.

[Radio Host 3]

It's got a nice engine in it.

[Radio Host 2]

Push it.

[Radio Host 3]

Push it real hard.

[Radio Host 2]

Push it as hard as you can. Try not to get into a fiery crashes. It screws up everything. You're young. I like your kidneys.

[Radio Host 1]

Did you check anybody else's kidneys, like Har or anybody Ed?

[Radio Host 2]

No. You want somebody healthy.

[Radio Host 1]

Oh, okay. So Moynihan, everybody's out.

[Radio Host 2]

All the dudes downstairs look like they need more organs than Brady does. Gotta find one of them healthy young ones. None of those postmenopausal broads down there. And Brady comes up here with all that estrogen, all emotional and.

[Radio Host 1]

Oh, that would be great, though.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah. Be awful. Can't have that. I don't know I'm looking at in this building. I think you gotta root for Jessica. She's young. Jen Gardner's on her last legs of wanting her organs. Yeah, the promo staff. No, no, I don't think you want anything inside of them. They have some time, the promo people.

[Radio Host 3]

No, as far as.

[Radio Host 2]

I don't.

[Radio Host 3]

I'm not.

[Radio Host 2]

I know, but these people down here are not getting any younger. I know, but I'm looking for people who. Look, you'll be able to get in there earlier than that if it starts to drop.

[Radio Host 3]

No, because of the cancer.

[Radio Host 2]

All right, but if the other one starts to fail, they're gonna make it.

[Radio Host 3]

They're gonna make something.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah, they're gonna.

[Radio Host 3]

Well, you'll get dialysis for sure.

[Radio Host 1]

He's gonna kill Dustin.

[Radio Host 2]

Dustin's a good one. Yeah.

[Radio Host 3]

I'll take it.

[Radio Host 2]

I bet you would. That's what Dustin said, oh, yeah. All right. I'm rooting for that now. Let's see how that ends up. See, it ends up. Also, I've discovered what our problem is as a society. I figured it out and it took literally. This is the power of radio advertising. It's still functional and it still works great. The problem with our society is Megan Kelly live at Desert Diamond Arena. She's a news person. She's doing a concert that it takes comedians years to achieve. The full room of a hockey stadium. Megyn Kelly is live coming up and I heard the question. Megyn Kelly live at the desert. We have made our news presenters super celebrities to where we'll pay money to whatever she's gonna. I don't know what she does live.

[Radio Host 3]

She does a podcast, doesn't she?

[Radio Host 2]

Okay. In an arena, she's doing news podcasts. I'm not sitting there listening to her. Like she's, wow, this is something I really need to see live. I don't care to see Megyn Kelly sitting in the upper deck of hockey. I wouldn't go to a Coyotes game sitting up in.

[Radio Host 3]

Not go to the website and get a couple of tickets for free maybe.

[Radio Host 2]

But it's still, it's in an arena. If again we talked about Larry King, Larry King Live at Phoenix Footprint center, you'd be like, why the what? And that was just 20 years ago. Why the would I watch Larry King do his show at all Live? Glenn Beck used to run around doing stuff. Sean Hannity does live shows. Will Kane, Anderson Cooper, smart enough not to do it because it would turn into a full out YMCA thing. It would be a crazy show if I'd probably go to that just for the laughs. But I mean, there's our problem. We've made. Tom Brokaw was never going to do the. He was never, ever, ever going to do a live performance of the news. Yeah.

[Radio Host 3]

And hockey speaking engagement.

[Radio Host 2]

But it wouldn't be advertised this Sunday. Sunday, Sunday. Megan Kelly live at the hockey stadium. No, not a bitch. Highlights never have him come out. And actually, you know. All right, bitches, welcome to the show. Here's a number I'm about to do tonight in Afghanistan. Yeah. Tom, Tom, Tom. Exactly. I'm kicking ass, taking names here at the Tom Brokaw Live show. Yeah. Tearing it up live on stage at the Tether Diamond Arena. Tom Brokaw. Hi, you must be Glendale. Hey, Glendale. Hey, betcha. Tombroka Live. Let's do a little local news. Yeah, that's where I live. Let's bring out a guest the former congressman. This should kick ass. Arena.

[Radio Host 3]

Another stage set up in the center of the arena to weather H's morning sickness.

[Radio Host 2]

Hol's morning sickness. Let's take a look. Here's special guest. Bring him out. Lester Holt. Yeah, news people. We are paying money and taking nights out of our lives to go to arena shows where Megyn Kelly happens.

[Radio Host 3]

I'm texting Curtis Curtis live.

[Radio Host 2]

Mark Curtis. Let's bring him out here. One of your local heroes, Mark Curtis. Yeah, Froco's kicking ass tonight, man.

[Radio Host 3]

Came out for an encore.

[Radio Host 2]

I remember when I was a little boy, wanted to be newscaster and I saw the glorious Walter Cronkite on stage and I said, mommy, Daddy, that's what I want to do. And now I'm here. Let's bring out my other special guest rival from cnn, Larry Klee. That's right. Kicking ass and taking names here in an arena setting. We're news people. What happened to you guys? Entertainment at its lowest. I like Megyn Kelly. Greg Gutfield is at least a comic doing a comedy.

[Radio Host 3]

I saw her go to town on a girl on Not Go to Town.

[Radio Host 1]

I'm interested now.

[Radio Host 2]

Now I have to step up my game for the Brokaw show and blow a fella.

[Radio Host 1]

Now I'm interested.

[Radio Host 3]

She was unleashing on this girl that you know, she'll play a bit audio bit from the woman that's protesting something and just destroys this person. That's the big thing.

[Radio Host 2]

Okay. But that's not arena worth live. Megyn Kelly kicks ass with a guest. I wouldn't have gone to Jerry Springer in an arena. And that kind of has arena vibes. It doesn't add up. And as I'm driving in, I hear that commercial like, there's our problem. We've made news presenters, celebrities to the point where they can sell tickets. This guy says, John, you mentioned Gutfeld. He's doing an arena in Prescott next month. Tickets are more than the concerts that come here.

[Radio Host 3]

Imagine the merch.

[Radio Host 1]

I would go see Gutfeld though.

[Radio Host 2]

Gutfeld's a comedian.

[Radio Host 1]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

He has a live audience every time he does a show.

[Radio Host 1]

Right.

[Radio Host 2]

It's a little different because it's a talk show that isn't like presenting news. It's. It's a. It's a. It's a. It. It's the Daily show, that kind of stuff. That's. But Meghan Kelly was a like, it's like an opinion based news show kicked off the news. I don't get it. We would never have done this. When we were sane as a society, we would have never done this. I mean, Tucker Carlson.

[Radio Host 3]

Wonder if they'll take CBS MORNING on the road and end it with a two minute nature. Just music playing.

[Radio Host 2]

And we'll be right back with CBS Sunday Mornings.

[Radio Host 3]

Then burge at the Riparian in Gilbert.

[Radio Host 2]

For like a minute and a half. Gilbert, yeah, you getting like Megyn Kelly concert T shirts and stuff like that. I saw broca back in 85. Sold out. Dude blew the roof off the place. It was incredible. Tom Brokaw live. And yes, I do realize it's a very similar voice to Joe Arpaio. Joe just hated Legos. Very similar. Oh, he goes anyway, yeah, this is not something that's going to get me in a fury. Oh, he's about to hit the stage, man. I'm Tom Brokaw. I'm plaster drunk and I'm going to do a live performance tonight of news Step it up.

[Radio Host 3]

You get Joe Perry to play that scene.

[Radio Host 2]

Ladies and gentlemen, playing the NBC news team tonight, Aerosmith's own Joe Perry. Joe, that's Batman. Joe. Yeah, I don't get it, but I heard that and I'm like, well, there's where we've gone off the rails. We're not supposed to have anchors with the devil horns walking out onto a stage with pyro. Not a thing. Not a thing. But we're so tribal. We're hoping that Megyn Kelly comes to town and the next thing you know, Kerry Lake's on stage, Joe Arpaio's on stage and all your favorite run them outs on the right. We are so politically strange now we've made it a rock show. That's not normal. Trump kind of started this stuff with his little arena tour speeches that went on for three hours and you had to stand in line for 10 to get into. And I don't get it. We've been around here for a quarter of a century. If I went downstairs and said, we want to do a live show, people be like, yeah, that's great. Where the hockey stadium. I get laughed out of the room. And then Tripp would be like, yeah, what do you think you are a news star? Like, what in the world has happened?

[Radio Host 3]

They've curtained off most of the arena. There's 500 seats.

[Radio Host 2]

The Joe Perry project couldn't feel like a 1500 seat arena as Megan Kelly is popping off to a hockey stadium. I'd have been blown away if she'd have done the Mullet Arena. I'm like, that's a lot of seats for a news show. Is there singing? Is there what goes on there?

[Radio Host 3]

It's got to be a variety show.

[Radio Host 2]

It has to be there. Has she like Megyn Kelly has to come out and just do. Why do birds suddenly appear? Is Megy Kelly singing the Carpenters right now? Yeah. And then this leads into her Billie Eilish stuff. Dude, she kills. Ladies and gentlemen, my special guest, Tom Brokaw. Every time you are near Just like me they long to be close to news. I don't get it, but there it is. And if you have tickets to it, take a good hard look in the mirror and what the hell's wrong with you? And say what happened to my life? I used to be cool.

[Radio Host 3]

Find out a price. Brett.

[Radio Host 1]

No.

[Radio Host 2]

Go to the Megyn Kelly kick ass world tour. Stop it, you guys. This is your fault. Sorry, man, can't make it. Megan Kelly's in town. Like, can't you just watch that on YouTube tomorrow? But it's different live. Like, no, it's not. Meg Kelly live at Stand Up Live. I'd be like, maybe that's 600 seats. That makes about right high demand.

[Radio Host 1]

Event inventory is limited.

[Radio Host 3]

Are there pit seats? I mean, you know, what's that like?

[Radio Host 2]

I mean, you get down in the pit. Yeah. 241. To watch a woman do news and give her opinion on it.

[Radio Host 1]

Row 20.

[Radio Host 2]

I could do that for free at the Circle K if you want to meet me there. Homer doesn't get it. Live at the circle Cage humbroco NBC near 376. Ladies and gentlemen, Trent Reznor. I wanna you like an animal.

[Radio Host 1]

Here's the fourteen hundred dollar seat.

[Radio Host 3]

Brokaw lobs a cake in someone's face.

[Radio Host 2]

I'd like to see Brokaw lose it. Like he brings out a guest he disagree. And now I'm gonna bring out a guest I totally disagree with. Is Mark Kelly. You Kelly you. How about had it with you and your politics. Get him, Tom. Yeah. Yeah. You're lucky. You're lucky I don't kick your ass right in front of everybody.

[Radio Host 3]

Now some magic.

[Radio Host 2]

And now I'm going to make rabbits appear. Turning into Nicholas Cage.

[Radio Host 1]

There you go. 2100 bucks each.

[Radio Host 2]

2100 dollars.

[Radio Host 1]

I mean, granted you're, you know, row six, row four at a new shelf.

[Radio Host 3]

That's a Super bowl ticket.

[Radio Host 2]

It's a bad super bowl ticket. I get $2,100. And you know what, everybody? The economy's fine. I don't want to hear how you're struggling. If you're. If 2100 bucks are going out the door to see Megyn Kelly Talk News.

[Radio Host 1]

Two tickets will cost you 4,226.

[Radio Host 2]

That's absurd. That's absurd.

[Radio Host 1]

Got nine minutes, 30 seconds. You want to buy?

[Radio Host 2]

No. I don't ever want to go watch someone from a news channel, no matter how entertaining they may be.

[Radio Host 1]

Homburg at 98K PD.

[Radio Host 2]

Don't. Don't. Don't do it, man. We saw you were interested in the news shows. You like all of them? Because I'm bringing my tour to town with the Insane Clown Posse of news. He comes out with a makeup on. I want to rock the news all night. Tom Broco live spraying the crowd with Faygo. Yeah. Openers Blitzer. Yeah.

[Radio Host 3]

All the opening acts.

[Radio Host 2]

Maximus Gigantis, they call me. I'm the lead serum. Shoot my big wiener at you.

[Radio Host 3]

You going to the News of Palooza.

[Radio Host 2]

And what do you guys think? Let's head on over to Russia. What do you say? Yeah. Tom Broko's gonna do some international news, man. That's why I'm here. Don't get it. I know. I want to close. I want to give you all something to take home. A little song I call Pure Imagination. If you want to feel paradise, simply look around and do news. I don't get it, man.

[Radio Host 3]

Newchilla.

[Radio Host 2]

It'll be a two weekend and people are screaming from the crowd. Do Israel. Do some Israel. You guys want to hear some Gaza Strip stuff? Yeah. Yeah. We're going to the Strip. Bring me some Strip news. That's where we're gonna head now. Brokaw going to Israel. Yeah. Yeah. Stop going to this stuff. Stop it. Stop it. This guy said great ideas. Brokaw goes full Gallagher at the end of his show and just smashes news awards into the. You guys want to see the sledge of the Broco Sledge? O Matic. Get your plastic off. You're about to get some melon squishins on your face. Stop it. I'm looking at you. Freedom. Looking out the window. Brady. You can see me. I'm actually pointing to the city. Stop it. Too late. No, it's too. I don't ever want Brett to go. That's a high demand event. Do you want $2100 tickets to watch Megyn Kelly talk at a hockey. No, I don't. Is it Cirque du Soleil? Is it her other talents? Is she. It's the Red Panda going to come out. If not. It's just a new knock it Off.

[Radio Host 3]

What she bring into the party?

[Radio Host 2]

Nothing. It's nuts. It's nuts. You've all lost your minds. Just it. And the other thing I saw in the news yesterday is that one of the two, Ben or Jerry, quit the ice cream. Yeah, they quit because the. They sold their company to Unilever. I think that's right. And Ben and Jerry are still, like, active in it. And the one thing they said when Unilever bought them, and everybody even said, like, you guys are just Republican entrepreneurs. If you sold to massive company, you were supposed to be Ben and Jerry forever.

[Radio Host 3]

We'll give you five years.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah. And they said, you can hang around here for five years and basically kind of do your. Because they're very hippie. You can do your silly politics and stuff with your ice cream and make, like, statements. And one of them quit. And people on the news I saw were crying because Ben and Jerry sold their company. And then Unilever's like, knock it off with the. It's enough time. Knock it off with your policy. We're not gonna do Gaza Strip Barry. That's not happening, so quit it. And then so they were like, well, you gotta give us the company back because you said we were allowed to do that stuff, and we're not doing what you. That's dumb. You know, Free Palestine. Rocky Road is not gonna be something we're gonna sell.

[Radio Host 3]

He quit and they canceled Cherry Garcia.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah, well, that. They were kind of like, all right, that was cute, but that wasn't. Now you want to do Benjamin Netanyahu. Bubblegum, it's not a thing, so go away. And now he's just. He just flat quit. I don't. I don't know if it was Ben or Jerry, but one of them just bailed on it. There was a lady on the news crying. No, the whole thing's rude. Like, fat America can't. Like, we need better stars.

[Radio Host 1]

Go get some Blue Bell then, and shut up.

[Radio Host 2]

Blue Bell doesn't bother me with, like, by the way, every bite you take is one bite you take out of the mouth of a starving kid in Ethiopia. I'm like, well, I don't want to eat this. Why is this. This is just ice cream. I'm supposed to indulge on this and not remember horrible things that are going on the world. That's why I'm eating ice cream. I'm an American. I have the ability to just kind of check out, guzzle the fattest, grossest thing in the world and not think about click clock over there in Ethiopia. Not eating. That's why I'm here. It was Jerry. What? Quit? Somebody just texted me, and some lady was crying, crying her eyes out.

[Radio Host 3]

Had to been up in Vermont.

[Radio Host 2]

You know, Brady, the world's so different now. I don't even know what to think that Jerry quit the ice cream. I wonder what Megyn Kelly has to say about this in a live setting. Stop it. You've all lost your minds. Do like I did. Do like Brett did last night. Pick a music show. Yeah. And watch people on stage, you know, in Brett's case, perform beautifully and in my case, stumble all over themselves in a drunken rage. It's awesome. I just. I. I don't get it, but I heard that commercial this morning. I'm like, well, we're sitting here trying to figure out how to unite the world and solve stuff. Everybody stop. If you've got tickets to Megyn Kelly Live, I'm gonna tell you right now, you're wrong. You're just doing it. You're doing it wrong. To each of them. Humberg. No. Stop it. All this morning sickness. Negative. Holmberg's morning sickness. You're lost. You're a lost person, and I'm here to help. This is an intervention to anyone who spent any money, let alone $2,000. If $2,000 was the price to see Megyn Kelly live and she doesn't show me her in the middle of that show, I've been ripped off to the tune of $2,000. Nothing is. There's no reason to see her live ever. Kyle says, does she stage dive? She just jumps up, bro. Call. Yeah. Catch me, bitches. Check it out. I'm surfing the crowd. Surfing the crowd like the Internet. And so many social media users that are depressed. We'll talk suicide after this. Great news, people of the past, Dan Rather wouldn't have done an arena show. Brokaw wouldn't have done an arena show ever. This reminds me when I was a kid, my dad took me to the McNeil Lehrer show, and I. Man, I was crying. That was my first concert. That's the danger of it all. Some, like, what was your first show? You remember? That's. It's not an iced tea. Okay. Well, that's pretty damn good. Wow. That was your first celebrity theater. Yeah. God damn, Brett. That's good. I remember seeing Brett there. It was a nice little. It was a nice deal. We had Brett out there, and we were talking whole time. I put him on my album using my liner notes because he wrote me a letter afterwards. Brett's good.

[Radio Host 1]

Kid, who was your first?

[Radio Host 2]

Well, my first one was Eric Sevur. He was the CBS news guy for a while. And then I saw Peter Jennings when I was 11. See how stupid it sounds? That's some kid's first live performance is going to be Megyn Kelly because you know there's going to be some lunatic that's dragging their kids to this. My first was Emmy Lou Harris at the New Mexico State Fair. You have to remember, my dad grew up in northwestern Pennsylvania, then lived in Indiana and West Virginia and had never been west of Chicago. Right. So his idea of what was the west was all John Wayne movies.

[Radio Host 1]

Oh, okay. Yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

And so when we got out west, he started dressing funny and wanting to go to country stuff and, like, he was trying to assimilate, not realizing that we lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And the way to assimilate was to put a feather in your head and start rolling corn onto a rock.

[Radio Host 3]

Check out hot air balloons.

[Radio Host 2]

It was more Indian than it was Western. Like, it's where. It's where all the people my dad watched on TV who lost in the movie, they moved to New Mexico. And no cowboys, all Indians. And I think it was a little disappointing because the setting looked an awful lot of, like, what he watched on TV when he was a kid. But there was no dusters and no dudes walking by going, man, there's just a lot of people going, I'm drunk. And there was a ton of that in Albuquerque. You're not getting on the train. Like, what? What's he talking about? This isn't what the movies did. So he was upset, so he drug us to the state fair and tried to get us in on that lifestyle. And Emmy Lou Harris was my first concert. And it was terrible. Just. I think my dad hated it, too. I think he was trying to force that. It wasn't iced tea, that's for sure. First show we went to buy my.

[Radio Host 3]

Bought the tickets to iced tea.

[Radio Host 2]

Or did you.

[Radio Host 3]

Did someone have them? Like, hey, you want to try?

[Radio Host 1]

No, I bought them.

[Radio Host 3]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

My first show I went to by myself was Motley Cruelty.

[Radio Host 1]

Probably back in the day.

[Radio Host 2]

15 or 16. Yeah.

[Radio Host 1]

Brady.

[Radio Host 3]

Well, I went with my cousin.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 3]

For a music project on Sunday.

[Radio Host 2]

Bread. That's creepy. Oh, you and a teacher, right?

[Radio Host 3]

No, it was my Uncle Mike.

[Radio Host 2]

Oh, Uncle Mike. Yeah. Uncle Mike took two young boys to go see Bread. I wanna make it with you. Is that not them? Yep. Yeah, the three. An uncle. Uncle Thumbs was probably his name.

[Radio Host 3]

Guitar Man.

[Radio Host 2]

I really think that we could make it.

[Radio Host 3]

I'm Like I recognize this song.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah, this is bread. We made fun of Brady for this years ago. Uncle Mike.

[Radio Host 3]

What's this?

[Radio Host 2]

Little boy, lean against me.

[Radio Host 3]

Why do people have lighters up?

[Radio Host 2]

Lean against your uncle. Uncle Mike likes when little fellas up against him like that. Just sway with me. Okay. Uncle Mike, are you singing? I am. Shh.

[Radio Host 3]

Sunday dozing off.

[Radio Host 1]

How did you turn straight?

[Radio Host 2]

I had no idea. I'm like.

[Radio Host 3]

I didn't even put the two and two together. Like I've heard this song before.

[Radio Host 2]

If it's not a kidney, something a Dustin is going in you.

[Radio Host 3]

First paid ticket.

[Radio Host 2]

Uncle Mike took two. How old were you?

[Radio Host 3]

I was in fifth grade.

[Radio Host 2]

Two ten year olds and he was.

[Radio Host 3]

Then Jeff was sixth and that was his music project report. You had to go to a concert and basically do a report of attending this show.

[Radio Host 2]

Man jams. Yeah. Okay. Why don't you. Why don't you two kids do me. Do uncle Mike a little favor? What's that? Uncle Mike? You touch him and he'll touch you. You guys like that idea? No. Do it anyway. Brady, do me a favor. What is it? Uncle M. When this song's at the chorus, pull your pants up to your. Make me see your crease.

[Radio Host 3]

Walk like a Frenchman.

[Radio Host 2]

Walk like a French. Give yourself a little baby fifth grade moose knuckle. Uncle Mike likey. Like this? Oh, yeah, like that. Pull them apart. Do they go over your. Can you get them over your big fat. Oh, God. Squeeze those things together and now say it. Say it. I wanna make it with you. That's right.

[Radio Host 3]

Jeff Brady, you want to meet the band?

[Radio Host 2]

Did you get to meet Brad years later?

[Radio Host 3]

I did.

[Radio Host 2]

You met Brett.

[Radio Host 3]

I met David Gates because he didn't.

[Radio Host 2]

Remember David Gates because it's a big moment for him.

[Radio Host 3]

Country music. And so when I was working in Milwaukee at the country station, Guitar man, I think is one of their.

[Radio Host 2]

When you met Brad, was your uncle backstage? Passed out on the couch, covered in milk? There's Uncle Mike. Oh, my go. It just keeps getting. I gotta be honest with you, Brady. I would rather go to a news concert than this.

[Radio Host 1]

Bring on Megan.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah, Where's Megan Kelly? Holy cow.

[Caller or Listener]

There's a lot of texters that want you to explain the difference between paying money to see Corey Feldman and paying money to see Jill Perry and paying money to see Megyn Kelly.

[Radio Host 2]

Two are trying to entertain me with music and dance and song and like energy.

[Caller or Listener]

Trying to say that back to him.

[Radio Host 2]

Megyn Kelly's presenting opinion.

[Caller or Listener]

They're like, wait, dude, you paid money.

[Radio Host 1]

To see Corey fell.

[Radio Host 2]

I did. And if you go, you'd have been wildly entertained. If Megyn Kelly picks up a guitar, I'm going, it's her face with the mic. I'm going. And she. Yeah, she Ow, my teeth. Like, if she has that every night, like Corey does, I'm going, she's going to sit there and talk to people.

[Radio Host 3]

In a hockey arena.

[Radio Host 2]

In a hockey arena. Have you ever heard the hockey ring? You can't understand them. Anyway, it's news presenters. What my point is, it's news presenters, so don't fight me on this. You're wrong. You're wrong. I'm going to Megyn Kelly, bro. She might bring out Mark Kelly and they might fight. Or better, they might. They might have so much sexual tension, they might start on stage. Now. If that was a thing, I'd be like, you know, maybe these shows are pretty good. She's going to talk about.

[Radio Host 3]

Political fighting is not working out right now.

[Radio Host 2]

Okay? But I don't care. Like, when I go to see Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder's like, we have to do something about the Palestinians. Shut up.

[Caller or Listener]

What do you mean not working out? She's getting $2,100 a table.

[Radio Host 3]

I know the timing of things.

[Radio Host 2]

I don't want. I don't want rock stars to go on and on about their politics in the middle of me wanting either Jeremy or Black. I don't. I'm only at the Save the Rainforest. And here's the next eight minutes of your concert dollar going to me telling you what I think. Like, no, no, if it's free. No, it's still a hockey arena, so.

[Caller or Listener]

Rally where it's free.

[Radio Host 2]

I'm telling you, you don't want to.

[Caller or Listener]

Go, but when you're paying 20 $100 tickets.

[Radio Host 2]

No, none of it. Don't waste your day making these news people and politicians. Rock stars is the problem. You can make rock stars rock stars. You can make wannabe rock stars feel like rock stars and then taunt them from the crowd like I do Corey Feldman. I made Corey Feldman stop a story with one word. Because I've seen him before, and he told the same story. In the middle of the story, I said, we all know your bassist was in Meatballs 4. Okay, you guys have heard it. Here we go. I'm the comeback king. It's terrifying for me to think that people are equating that. You know, we're days away from Ladonna and Sharp thinking, this is a good idea. And they'll be at Celebrity Theater live. Live. Ladonna Harvey and Jim Sharp battle live. It's Liberty Theater. It's a cage match. I'm gonna put that cuck Sharp to sleep. Opening up Broomhead. Broomhead. Tactical. Tactic. Tactic. Tactical. Tactic. Guns. Thanks, Broomhead. That's my Broomhead impression. Guns, Guns. Tactical. Tactical. Guns. Guns. Border. I'm fair. I love Mike. Tactical. Tactical. That's all I hear him say in that commercial. It's the word tactical. I don't know why. Tactical. Tactical. Guns. Tactical. Tactical.

[Radio Host 1]

Bruce and Gatos will show up as special guests.

[Radio Host 2]

We're the openers. I guess it's you and me.

[Caller or Listener]

Somebody just asked if I can book Mullet Arena. Will you moderate between Ladonna Harvey.

[Radio Host 2]

Yes. And whoever else. And I want all the money because there's a bunch of dummies that pay to watch news live. I don't get it. Channel 12 tried this for a little bit. Remember when they did their town halls? No, no, no. They had that wide open glass fishbowl.

[Caller or Listener]

Oh, yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

What? They were trying to hip up their newsroom and called it EVB Live. And it's like it's news. And they expected people to stand outside and watch them do news.

[Radio Host 1]

Didn't they start having to close the curtains because people were doing stuff?

[Radio Host 2]

Because I showed up in a devil's mask once at 10 o' clock, I was alone. And that was back when I had. I had DirecTV so I could record things. My phone could tell my tv, record this. And it was just after Halloween and I had the most awesome devil's head. And I put it on and my friend Collins with me and we were right there. I'm like, what do you say? He's like, yeah. So I just stood behind Tram Mai and Mark Curtis for like 30 minutes with just alone. And every time, because you could see the cameras that they have TV screens outside. And when they'd cut to like a one shot of Mark, I'd just kind of scoot over to the right and the devil would just be in the shot. And Colin was dying. And then we watched. We went back to my house and watched the recording of the news. And I'm like, now that's fun news. Shortly after that, you know, the folks from All Pro Shade showed up and knocked out the windows. And then they stopped doing those shows in front of the. It was dumb. They expected crowds. I've struggled with the fact that people go to the Today show and stand up Fox Mornings.

[Radio Host 3]

That's where it all that window.

[Radio Host 2]

But at least the Jonas Brothers would perform for those people. Now and again or 30 Rock, they're.

[Caller or Listener]

Going outside and doing something.

[Radio Host 2]

They'd walk outside with like Josh Brolin every once in a while, and the crowd would get a taste. Megyn Kelly better have some goddamn guests on there that are more than politics. Can't make politics rock shows. That's my point.

[Caller or Listener]

Does it say if she's bringing openers like Brady asked?

[Radio Host 1]

Doesn't say anything like that.

[Radio Host 2]

I don't get it, man. And Megyn Kelly's kind of hot too, so I get that part. But yeah, this one says it reminds me of Bill or Hillary speaking on campus and getting paid millions of dollars to speak to Libtard students. Okay, here's the problem. As you're. You're already mad at other people who have done this. And. And this is where the divide is like nobody's. You shouldn't be that mad. If I go to see, you know, Nine Inch Dales and your favorite band is Aerosmith, and then we. Brett and I aren't in a fight because I didn't go to the show he likes and he. You went to that Libtard show. They paid the millions. No.

[Radio Host 3]

Well, you won't hear music about hearing Biden.

[Radio Host 2]

Well, no, he's not saying yesterday. No, he can't get a gig a speaking engagements with Biden. You're wasting your money. You have to give him a script. Yeah. Live shows are for live entertainment. And I don't know that we've started to make news entertainment, and that's dangerous. News should be just news. It should be information. It shouldn't be entertainment. It shouldn't be a raucous crowd of folks screaming at the TV news. And I've. And I think Megyn Kelly is seemingly fine for what she's doing, but maybe Stand Up Live, you go watch her do her podcast. I went and saw Kevin Smith do his podcast at Stand Up Live, and it was terribly boring. I mean, I've done Adam Carolla's podcast three or four times live, and it's. There's certain parts of a podcast that it's different. Yeah. It's not like for a live banger. It's weird. But I certainly don't want to watch Ladonna and Sharp and I don't want to watch. I love Troy Hayden. I think he's a great guy. But if he told me, hey, man, I've got an idea. I think I want to do some live shows. I'm like, oh, yeah, would you start playing guitar or something? No, no, no. Just deliver the news to an Audience of thousands. And make them pay for it. I'm like, it's free. It's free everywhere. Holmberg's morning sickness. I got too much news. Why would I go find more and pay for it?

[Radio Host 1]

Maybe Brian Gumbel will come out of retirement.

[Radio Host 2]

Oh, no. Is Brian dead? No, it's Greg's. Yeah. Greg did Life at the Desert Diamond Arena. Brian Kubble can't wait to get in there. But Megyn Kelly's in the Casa de Bow wow because she crossed me and we're gonna fight. Yeah. You know, can you imagine that, though? Like, you said, your first show was Ice T. Yeah. There's. In 20 years, there's a kid that's gonna be, I don't know, broadcasting from his hovercraft. I don't know how the future looks. Telling everybody his first show was the Megyn Kelly Experience over at Desert Diamond Arena. I don't get it, man. I just don't get it. Yeah, Broomhead opening up for. And he'd do it. Because I'd do it, too, if you're paying me to do. That's silly. I don't know. Broomhead can go out there. Tactical. Tactical guns. Guns. Tactical. They're like, man, that Broomhead's up.

[Radio Host 3]

And who's that? Show Broomhead stole it.

[Radio Host 2]

Stole the show, man. I think the opener was even better. What was that dude's name? Broom Dick. No, it's Broom Head. Tactical. Tactical. Tactical guns. Tactical police support. Tactical. Tactical. Broomhead. Broomhead. Tactical guns. Okay. That guy's pretty good. Anyway. Stop it. That's all I'm saying. I'm not wrong. Not if. Even if somebody said you. Hey, man, I got free tickets to a show tonight. What show? The Megyn Kelly. No, leave me alone. Stop it. I wouldn't even go to Regis and Kelly live.

[Radio Host 3]

There's people following touring.

[Radio Host 2]

It's the Grateful dead. It's my 44th show, man. And the only thing about that is that it's different. Maybe she does the same thing every night. Trump started to do that when he was doing his tour. I'm doing the same bits I did in Milwaukee. Unfortunately, Fox is broadcasting all of them, so my material is getting stale. I don't know. I don't get it. And I understand that, you know, with the Charlie Kirk situation, more voices need to be heard, but that's what the Internet's for. I don't understand making news. People superstars. I just don't. Especially rock star style superstars. We went and saw Joel Osteen, you know, and at least Some traveling, sure.

[Radio Host 3]

Pastors.

[Radio Host 2]

You know what? He had a live band.

[Radio Host 3]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

He knew the audience worship crew. They sang some Jesus stuff. They, you know, knocked out a couple things. Then he'd come out and give, like, a weird sermon, and I'm like, all right, the audience is into this. I mean, I don't know if it's to the tune of 175 bucks, then a Home Depot bucket goes down your roof. And they filled Home Depot buckets with cash. Every aisle. Remember that? That was the most amazing part. When we sat, we got into our aisle.

[Radio Host 3]

Yeah, the system.

[Radio Host 2]

And you see a Home Depot bucket at the end of your aisle, and you're like, wonder what they're gonna do with that? And sure enough, the dude at the end of the aisle picks it up and hands it to somebody. And then I just want everybody that.

[Radio Host 3]

Yeah, you pass it down the road.

[Radio Host 2]

I know you're here and you bought tickets. And I would just love it very much if you would pass that down. Put some money in there. Reminds me of a joke. Here we go. And then he told, like, a joke while everybody's just. And then that bucket, we were in the middle was about three quarters full by the time it got to us. And I'm like, he's gonna make another, like, grand per row.

[Radio Host 3]

At least it got a little heavier. I put a couple of bottles.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah. Brady sauced him and. Thank you, Brady. Thanks for that. Reminds me of a joke. Brady got a kidney. That's the end of that joke. God's cursing, you son of a. But, yeah, so if you do the math on that, and everybody gets 500 a row, the whole sun's floor was all seats, rows. Wow.

[Radio Host 3]

Well, that's what I said to you. I'm like, for the amount that you're paying for the tickets now, to ask.

[Radio Host 2]

For, I was 175 bucks a ticket where we sat. And the average cost of tickets for that thing was $100. And it was full. Place was packed. And then to, you know, just figure, 500 a row and vibrate at a minimum. And I had that butt plug in the whole time, and it almost set me off.

[Caller or Listener]

I don't know if you've mentioned it before or not, but the texters are starting to come chime in now with that. Megyn Kelly has apparently been talking that she wants to pick up Charlie Kirk's mantle. She's gonna have open dialogue at this show.

[Radio Host 2]

It's gonna be a good. Charlie Kirk was doing it in college campuses for, like.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah.

[Radio Host 2]

So, like, a microphone you didn't have.

[Radio Host 3]

To buy a ticket.

[Radio Host 2]

No, he just showed up and it was like, you know, a couple thousand people at a time. And I even found that to be strange. Why you would volunteer to go debate an incredibly smart person who's well verse studied, and you go up there going, line them up. You know what you're talking about. Put it out.

[Radio Host 3]

College kids are idiots. They think they know everything.

[Radio Host 2]

His point was you. You have votes and you're dumb, and you come up here spewing headlines. You don't have any substance. And occasionally the people would have substance and you give them credit for it. Just don't get it. Does Megan Kelly, like, point to someone in the front row and go get that guy? And then one of the. One of the stage hands goes and gets her back there. And then he. Megan Kelly backstage like he's a group because Megan wants a piece of that. A guy in the front rows eyeballing me. And I'm gonna him after the show because I'm on a high. I got a stage. Performers. Hi, man.

[Caller or Listener]

What's her writer?

[Radio Host 2]

I don't know. A gross of condoms and cargo shorts. Like seven.

[Radio Host 1]

This guy. This guy says, speaking of first concerts, why is it that Brady's first concert was a type of food?

[Radio Host 2]

It was not good for you either. Just not wheat bread either. Just bread. We know what I'm talking. My next. My next show was rolls. And then Asiago came to town and we knocked that out of the yard.

[Radio Host 3]

Meatloaf.

[Radio Host 2]

I bet you went to. Did you go to see meatloaf? Oh, man. That had to be a. That. That had to be a struggle not to go.

[Caller or Listener]

Another guy in texter says, says, john, I feel for you. My first concert was at the fair also. But at least I saw Donna Summer and there were hot chicks all over.

[Radio Host 2]

I would have gone to that. I didn't know who Emmy Lou Harris was. My dad's like, we live in New Mexico now. This is how these people operate. I'm like, oh, my God. It was. And it was the Ruidoso Downs, I believe, is where we were. The horse track. Yeah. And then. And we went to the fair, like every day. Yeah, it was weird. We had just got working there. No, we just. Like every chance we got, we went to the fair and my dad just loved it. There were. There were horses. And it was the West. He was dying to have a movie come to life. And it had to be ultimately wildly disappointing.

[Caller or Listener]

Didn't have horses in West Virginia.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah. But it wasn't like this. It Wasn't the dust and the mountains. And West Virginia was like, people used them for transportation and the horses were sick. Like they never looked healthy. Like you'd have to go to a ranch. Like, he was hoping, like, there'd be trading posts and people tying horses up outside and water bins and the general store. He thought he was going to be.

[Radio Host 3]

So much coal in West Virginia.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah, West Virginia. West Virginia was ultimately wildly disappointing immediately. But he grew up in that area. He had horses when he grew up. But he wanted the West. He wanted, like, Roy Rogers kind of stuff. He wanted shootouts in the streets and Black Barts and that kind of stuff.

[Radio Host 3]

Cactus.

[Radio Host 2]

Yeah. Old were you again when you.

[Caller or Listener]

When you hit New Mexico?

[Radio Host 2]

Eight. Eight or nine. But yeah, it was Emmy Lou Harris. Right. To Emmy Lou Harris. Like, we landed in New Mexico on Christmas Eve. They quick found the Christmas tree and the moving boxes, put up a tree and then just. We got cowboy hats and boots and, like, I got gloves up to my elbow, and I'm like, that's how the kids dress here.

[Radio Host 1]

Little cap guns and everything in your holsters.

[Radio Host 2]

I had a holster with guns. I had weird gloves. Like, he dressed me up like a Western gloves. Western gloves on it. Fringe or didn't have the tassels that had, like shark fins, like, kind of thing on the bottom. Okay. Almost like Batman's gloves, only they were white and they were turquoise and they went past my elbow, and I just remember putting them on. And my mom was smart enough. She got me a Walter Payton jersey, which I. I just love shirts with numbers. So there's a picture of me on Christmas day in New Mexico. I could bring it in. And it wasn't even Walter Payton jersey. It was a sweater with a 34 on. It was orange, and I just thought it was great. And I had the gloves on, the cowboy hat, boots up to my knees, and a Walter Payton jersey on. And I was retarded. There was no question if you just sent me to school, because I think my dad were like, that's how they dress. There you go. I only have a special needs boy coming up here. And I couldn't walk in the boots. Very good. So I was like Frankensteining around in my eight.

[Caller or Listener]

So you didn't have any choice in your clothes, right?

[Radio Host 2]

Well, I got what they bought me. Right. And my dad went to Sears.

[Radio Host 3]

And out of those, you'd pick your favorite.

[Radio Host 2]

I didn't have a favorite sweater.

[Caller or Listener]

Man, you lived a life.

[Radio Host 2]

Wranglers. No, that. That's a full. That's. That's Ralphie from a Christmas in a full cowboy outfit now. Same type of look. Similar look, except I was in Wrangler jeans and a Walter Payton. I was. I was homeless. I was homeless. Cowboy hat and Walter Payton sweater with boots on. Look, if it wasn't for my mom, I'd have had chaps on. Marcy drew a line because he was losing it. He started dressing me up. And then all my shirts. Those don't have fringe now. All my shirts had arrows on the pockets. All of them. For, like, two months, I was like, I don't like this anymore. And I just wouldn't. I would wear the same thing every day. And when we go do something like, put your hat on. No, I'm not wearing a cow. I'm not a cowboy. I don't even know why you're doing this. But then he kind of calmed down when he realized it's mostly just defeated Indians. Albuquerque was a wild disappointment to my dad. I am convinced. And if you asked him that, he would say, when we were moving from Morgantown to New Mexico, he was so excited. And he thought, when I get there, I'm gonna get a horse. I'm just gonna ride that to work. He thought for sure that was an option.

[Caller or Listener]

Straw in his mouth.

[Radio Host 2]

There was no Internet, so we couldn't, like, research Albuquerque outside of encyclopedias. And they were, like, pretty Western, like, you know, people ride their horses place. My dad was, I guarantee you, thinking about, when we get there, I'm gonna find somebody whose last name starts with Q, and I'm gonna buy a horse from him, and I'm gonna just ride that to work every day. And then he realized, oh, it's just. It was just a bunch of defeated Indians.

[Radio Host 1]

Just think if he made you move to Gallup, New Mexico, that's even worse.

[Radio Host 2]

Well, if we look, I wouldn't be here. I'd be a statistic. It's true. Anyway, it was. And I. And that was Kyle Pierce said your dad was trying to make you gay. I'm like, I don't think he realizes that that was the other option in the cowboy gears. Like, I'm either gonna embrace this cowboy lifestyle, or I'm gonna be a pretty flamboyant homosexual if you keep dressing me up like this. And luckily, I'm on, you know, Kupd and not 93 3. That's my horse. Yeah. It's a disappointment anyway. What do you got in the big board there, Bert?

[Radio Host 1]

I don't even know. Let's pull it up here. All right. Wake up Song Brought to you by Action Ride Shop, of course. Time to jump in there and pick up a new bike. The weather is getting nice, and no reason not to hit those trails. And Action Ride Shops got everything to get you out there. The bikes, the gear. You name it, they got it. Lots of stuff going on sale right now. They got all kinds of demos and used bikes and everything. So if you're not ready to make the big jump, you can also rent a bike, check it out, see if it's for you. They got E bikes. You name it, they got it. Actionrideshop.com Two locations right there on Gilbert Road and Southern. As well as. You're screwing me up.

[Radio Host 2]

I'm sorry. As well as the brand new right.

[Radio Host 1]

There on power Road and McDowell, I got two.

[Radio Host 2]

I got a guy who says, what would you rather go to, WNBA or Megyn Kelly? And the answer is wnba. I don't like making news. People. Super celebrities. WNBA is at least trying to put an entertainment package together that is sport that makes sense in an arena. Megyn Kelly can do this, but it just doesn't make sense that we're filling up brains for. And then the other guy says, my youngest brother. This has to be one of those deals where you're like 27 and your dad has another kid Late. Because my youngest brother was eight. His first show, I'm not kidding, was Bill O'Reilly with my dad. That's brutal. At least Bill O'Reilly had the decency of groping the chicks backstage. That's why he can't have a job anymore. But, my goodness, that poor kid. Hilarious.

[Radio Host 1]

Sorry, Brett, what do you got on the list? Prodigy, Velvet Revolver, Primus, My Name Is Mud for Joe Perry. Sleep, Token, Exodus, Pantera, Coheed and Cambria. Iron Maiden, Run to the Hills for Joe Perry. Metallica, New Limp Bizkit, Airborne, Slipknot and Slayer.

[Radio Host 2]

We haven't heard the new Limp Bizkit on the air.

[Radio Host 1]

I think there's a clean version.

[Radio Host 2]

Is there? Do we have it?

[Radio Host 1]

I think Larry has it in there.

[Radio Host 2]

All right, let's. It's Making Love to Morgan Wallen is the name of the song, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We do have it.

[Radio Host 1]

So it's got everything there.

[Radio Host 2]

All right, we'll do that because I haven't heard it all the way through. It's very Limp Biscuit.

[Radio Host 1]

If you like Biscuit, you'll like it.

[Radio Host 2]

And the last minute of it is very funny. And. Oh, well, I don't know if it's funny or if it's just kind of like fun.

[Radio Host 3]

Cheeky.

[Radio Host 2]

Making Love to Morgan Wallen. Which I don't understand the title, but Fred sort of embraced his jackassery, and I like him Again, it's new Limp Bizkit. Here you go. It's 98k, upd, Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.
