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. Thank you. Miles Tono or Katie and the Hobbs. Beautiful thing. All these people are emailing like crazy. Dave Portnoy has a tweet out and I disagree with Dave Portnoy. It says, with Kimmel getting canned, I'm seeing lots of people talking about the hypocrisy of cancel culture. To me, cancel culture is when people go out of their way to dig up old tweets, videos, etc. Looking for dirt on somebody they don't like in an effort to get them fired. If Kimmel got canceled for stuff he did on the man show, that would be cancel culture. But when a person says something that a ton of people find offensive, rude, dumb, and in real time, that person's punished, it's not cancel culture. That's the consequences for your actions. So I don't actually disagree with that. Yeah. But in this particular case, to me, cancel culture is a group of people that aren't that don't like you digging up your past and saying, we've got to get this guy. And it's usually a citizen uprising when the government strong arms your employee to fire you. It's not cancel culture. That truthfully is some sort of a totalitarian type thing. You can't have the government going, oh, hey, Hubbard Radio. We don't like Brady so. Well, we just don't like him. So if you don't want trouble, you know what to do. That's not cancel culture. That is definitely a strong armed government. You can't have that. That's not. I hate cancel culture for the same thing.
C
But wasn't it. I mean, it was the pressure. I mean, the FCC was upset at the one guy and I don't know if they apologized or they.
B
What are you talking about?
C
The Kimmel deal?
B
Oh, yeah.
C
It was because it wasn't because of nexstar mostly saying, we're going to pull our markets. And they started feeling pressure.
B
First said, abc, punish him or we will. The affiliates said, we'll do it. And nextar was the first one to go, we're not going to air them tonight. Then ABC said, we're pulling the whole thing.
C
Yeah.
B
So the FCC was first to the party to say, you do something about this, because if you don't, we will. That isn't Cancel culture.
C
But I don't know.
B
That is definitely different if cancer culture, something about that.
C
The fcc.
B
Yes.
C
What did he do?
B
Especially when they have all the power. Of course they can. They can and they, and maybe they.
C
Can'T, but I think you could fight that all day long.
B
They know they're not going to. So they basically called their shot. And that's where I don't like it. A group of, of, of Gilbert moms can get together at Postino and yell and scream that they don't like this show and then say, I found a tape from 2006 where John said blah, blah, blah, get them. That's cancel culture.
C
Yes.
B
The government saying, we don't like you. We don't like. And we're going to find something you said and we're going to tell your employer that they're going to lose money immediately. The government. Not, not advertisers or anything else. If a group of people get mad enough and start calling advertisers for us, it starts rocking the boat. If the FCC does it, we're gone. It's not even going to be close because the way the arrow points down for terrestrial radio as a whole, even these little singular successful moments like Phoenix here and like what we're doing, that gets its legs cut out from under it real fast. If it's like, well, we don't have. The future is not bright for this. We're not fighting. We're not gonna lose money on that show too. It costs us too much. It's a strange thing. People are right. You know, I don't, I don't agree, I agree with what Dave Portnoy said. If that's what happened, but that's not what happened. If this was a group of angry nuns or a bunch of citizens that rose up and put enough pressure on abc, then you know, that's the people causing trouble. Somebody. This is a great one. This is a great email and it's perfect. It says right wing libertarian here. John, you're correct. The right has been fighting against government crackdowns on people and cancel culture type things. Just think about Joe Rogan during COVID Anyone on the right celebrating this needs to have a forward thinking brain and think they would like a Democratic president using the FCC to shut down their thing. If in fact, and it's the exact same thing when, when Joe went on and made claims now it wasn't on broadcast television. He wasn't under the FCC's umbrella but made claims that he made at the time about COVID that were not provable or potentially incorrect and dangerous. And they're like, we're just going to shut it down. People would have been screaming that I can. I have a. I have a right to be wrong. I have a right to listen to someone who doesn't get it right every time. And you don't like. You know, trust me, the FCC and the government isn't always right. That's a great email, because it's a good point. Just stop. The pendulum never rests in the middle. It was crazy one way, and now it's going back the other. I don't like this at all. Now, this one says, damn it, if being right is a problem, the FCC wanted to get you guys. All they have to do is listen to one Brady report, and they'd have you for misinformation and unchecked facts all day long. You guys are doomed. Very true. If the Brady report was held to a standard where it had to be correct all the time, Brady would be burned at the stake in the town square, staring at the ceiling tiles. I'm not sure you guys are allowed to do this.
C
I said that.
B
And then Alex says, let's be honest with each other. If either of us got the power like Trump has, we'd probably use it for the wrong reasons. We'd go on some revenge tour. You'd probably finally do something to Dave Pratt. Taxes, whatever else. Throw him in jail. I'd use it for revenge on anyone who wronged me over the years. Anyone from. I used to work in radio, he says. Anyone from Iheart, all the way down to the girl in fourth grade who called me fat. You hear me, Mary, you whore? You better hope I don't become president, Mary. That's why we can't and shouldn't be president. But you're right. If I had that kind of juice and somebody said, you know, we could get that guy, I'm like, can we do it with a. And get away with it? Yes. When you think the Clintons did. Wait a minute. We can kill people? Yeah, if you want, we can do that. Holy smokes. Hang on. I'm gonna go get my phone book. Just start circling names. How many? What, is there a limit? Is it like fishing? No, sir. You can kill as many as you want. Hot dog. I'm gonna kill everybody. Hillary, did you hear about how we can kill people? I want to be president. I know. It's great, isn't it? How do we do this one? We just get, like, bright lights in somebody's mirror and drive them off the street in a cliff. Do that to that guy. I would abuse that.
C
They're doodling his lists every day.
B
Mr. President, we have to do something about this congressional hearing. I am sorry. I am all locked up right now. I'm just writing down people I want dead. I can do it, and I'm going to. Mr. President, you've killed 30 people today. I know. Isn't it great? No, it's not. Sir, you've got to slow down. I don't think I do. And you're on the list, Mr. Naysayer. What are you looking at, Brett? He's out. How do you spell Vesli 2 ease? He's dying today, Bernie. I would abuse the power as well. Now, all this cancel culture stuff, I don't like it, but it does serve a purpose. There are times when there are things that happen where the community has to stand up against something that is drastically wrong. And I think that's the beauty of it now. Digging in someone's past or being stupid and saying, this person did this in 2008 and we let it get away. Or, you know, just trying to get them for revenge. One thing that I do think, and I've never had this power before, so I will use it. Actually, I've had it. I just don't know how to use it. You know how when you watch the news and they say media outlets are calling for blah, blah, blah, you know, we're a media outlet.
C
Yeah.
B
If I call for something, will it make the news like local media outlets are? You know, they never say who.
C
I think that's how it's done.
B
I think that's how it's done, too. And I've done this for far too long to not know how to use it. But I would like to call out to the Arizona Cardinals to suspend, at the very least, Kyler Murray. At the very least, punish Kyler Murray.
C
Report.
B
Well, the guy decided, and I would like Kyler Murray to check his resume real quick. And I've been on the. On the Kyler train for a long time saying every Cardinal fan is too quick to dismiss this guy. He's got a ton of talent. He's been mishandled as a quarterback from jump. He's a little bit dumb with the whole video game thing that came out and all this other stuff. So check your resume, Kyler. You've accomplished only getting into the NFL, which means you're talented in the NFL. You haven't done anything to make it. So you're the voice of any. Win something, then Maybe start talking. He puts on his Instagram page, he's in a vintage Michael Vick Virginia Tech jersey with a pit bull, clearly trying to antagonize or make some sort of statement. He's in a Vic jersey with a pit bull. Now it is that redemption. It's designed completely to infuriate people who. Who have, you know, animal rights activists and everything else look at this and go, no, no, we don't combine those things. We don't do this. And if Kyler Murray had been outspoken at anything in the past, you'd be like, oh, that's Kyler. This was clearly just him stepping over the line, going, look at me. And you guys, the Cardinals need to do something about this. This. This is a. This is way too far for a guy who is, you know, hanging by a thread, really, as the team's quarterback. Why? The biggest question is why? Why? It's like holding up a rifle and a picture of John Kennedy. Why? What are you doing? What's the message? What are you. What message are you trying to send? That we should forgive Michael Vick, that you're on his side. Read the Michael Vick book. Read the book about what he did wrong. And I'll. I'll say it every time someone wants to bring up. He did. He did his time. He used to pick up dogs and over a rail, break their spines by smashing them over the rail in the middle of their back. These were the dogs that weren't winning fights in his fight club. He would make puddles in his backyard and attach dogs that weren't healthy because of the fighting. They lost a fight. They were not going to be able to fight again. And he would. He wouldn't just euthanize them. He would put them in a puddle and attach electro. Electric cables to them and a car battery or something and electrocute them to death in the puddle while the other guys laughed and danced and thought it was great. He picked up a dog once and smashed it into the ground until it died. This is what you decide to put a jersey on and stand next to a pit bull and go. These things are synonymous and good. No, no. Kyler Murray needs to be brought to task on this one. And this isn't cancel culture. This is a moment where you're like, what are you? Explain yourself. I'll give you that opportunity. Explain what this is. Why did you do that? Why in the world. I understand you can be a Michael Vick fan. As football goes, you can do that. Like when Lamar Jackson a couple of weeks ago said he was. He idolized Michael Vick. I would suggest if I was his PR team. Net. Let's not go down that road. That's not good for business. But you can do it. I think you're an idiot for doing it, but you can do it. But I'm gonna order a Michael Vick vintage Virginia Tech shirt, walk around in it, and post pictures of me with pit bulls. And you know you're doing that on purpose. That's a. It's not even a passive aggressive way to try to piss people off or be some sort of subversive tough guy. You're not Kyler. You. You need. The Cardinals, at the very least, need to have some sort of a. A moment to come to Jesus moment with Kyler going, hey, buddy, you've accomplished nothing for us, and we've stood by you. We pay you a lot of money. Do not bring this to our party. Explain yourself, Kyler. Murray, immediately. Get on there. I'm not even asking for an apology. Tell me what you wanted to. This.
C
Accomplish with this.
B
Yeah, what did you want to accomplish with this? What was the end goal? And if you're going to be brave enough to do it, be brave enough to talk about it, be brave enough to come on this show and say, here's what I wanted to do. Go on the news somewhere and go, here's why I did that. And I stand by it. I'll give you that. But if you're going to be this dickhead that decides to go out and do this kind of stuff, you deserve a nice kick in the nuts from your employer. If anything, we're sitting here talking about cancel culture, but there are certain times when it's like, that guy needs. That guy definitely needs a talking to, and it needs to be verbalized by. By a group of people who live right down the road from us, who charge you guys an extraordinary amount of money to go watch their product. And that is when we as a group need to get up and say, what are you doing? You're a dog guy. And this is. It's. I mean, it is. Again, why. Why would you do that? Why in the world would you do that? You know, you can be against something. You can say that Michael Vick didn't do anything wrong and whatever, but don't stand next to a beautiful. By the way, it's a beautiful dog in the picture. Did you see it? Yeah. It makes you sick immediately. You're like, why'd you do this? Why did you do this? And evidently, he's already taken it down and apologized publicly. All right, Explain yourself. I don't want your apology. I want to know what you were doing. I want to know what you were doing, tough guy. And again, I'm all into dark humor and stuff like that. If you did this for a friend and you just sent it over through a text and you're like, oh, Kyler, you dick. I can handle that. I can handle the darkest, most inappropriate stuff ever. What's the post say?
A
That wasn't his.
B
Oh, that's somebody else reposting, pushing it up, going, this is what the Cardinals. This is what the Cardinals stand behind. Those are those moments where you know you're going to sit down a game and you just did this to the team. Holmberg's morning sickness, and he made sure to turn around and show that Vic's name's on his back. Now, again, if you want to be funny and take this picture in a Michael Vick jersey with a pit bull, send it to your friends. No problem with that at all. I still think you're probably a dick, but if I know the true you. But when you do this as. And it's a modeling shoot, by the way, it looks like. It looks like these are professional photos. Like, he got his hair did for this. You don't have the resume for this, Kyler Murray. You don't have. You don't have the reputation. You don't have the smarts. You have the ability to explain it. And it says he was forced to apologize. If the court. Cardinals need to do more than that, for sure. The Humane Society. I know you're listening. You need to be all over this dude right now. All over him. I totally think that was the apology. Well, if they say it was forced, a forced apology, but he took it down and he left it. And if that's where we leave this, he got away with something. That's all I'm saying. So as a media outlet, and I really don't know how to do this as a media outlet, I'm calling for the Cardinals to do something about this. I'm not saying fire him. I'm not saying anything else, but definitely the Cardinals need to step out and say, we handle this. The proper, proper thing would be that they come forward and say, way too far. He's the face of our team. We do not at all agree with this. He is going to be fined. He's going to be. He's going to sit a game one paycheck and one game out. This is not what we've. We signed on for. And Kyler has hurt the team. And we're going to take that punch because we, you know, take a stand, make it more about, you know, always saying sports franchises pissed me off with that when we're so big in the community, we love the community, we do this for you guys. We're charitable, we're this and that. And then they will, you know, stand up to this and be like, man, we didn't do anything about it. We just said we're sorry. And I'm fine with you. I'm sorry, but I want an explanation. And I think a lot of people do. And I think a lot of Cardinal fans are like, all right, that's enough. We're done with Kyler. He's done nothing for us, and now he's doing this crap. He, he. He's too stupid to be the quarterback of this team. If I was a Cardinal fan, I would most definitely be like, I'm not doing this. The only games I haven't watched, and it's my choice, you can disagree with it. Or the only games I haven't watched are the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since 1992 were the Michael Vick games. I just didn't watch them. Didn't have people over the house like I always do. Didn't do. I just turned it off. Didn't watch. And it was the great Chael Sonnen, who's made mistakes of his own, came in here and said, you can't cheer for stuff when guys do this because eventually you're just cheering for laundry and you don't have any, like, real attachment to the people involved. And I really want to get attached to the people. I want the laundry to lead. But if they stand behind stuff like this, I don't want to cheer for that. I definitely don't want to cheer for that. Yeah, but I don't think anybody really knows the Michael Vick story because. No, it's the same thing as the Charlie Kirk deal. The people who haven't seen the video, I think, are the ones who are like, I don't understand why he's such a. This. That Neil, when it changes the game, when you know the details and this.
C
I just pulled up the report on 2008 ESPN when the whole story came.
A
Out.
C
And you, you mentioned the three dogs. There's another one where he says it was he three people, Vic.
B
Yeah.
C
Peace.
B
Oh, there's more than what I mentioned.
C
I know, but you know, they approximately drowned approximately three dogs by putting their heads in five gallon buckets of water.
B
Held them in water yeah, yeah. Upside down and drown them. You want to know about what you're supporting with Michael Vick? Read it. Read it. He's allowed to be out in society, but never forget that that was what he was. And. And never ever wear his jersey and walk around with pit bulls and post it as some sort of a kick ass, cool guy statement. Because it isn't.
C
Tyler Dick initially said, I didn't kill any of the dogs.
B
He lied about it.
C
Polygraph. Okay.
B
No. And he went to jail for racketeering and obstruction of justice fines. He didn't go to jail for the dog thing. He pled out of that. So everybody says he did his time. He didn't. He did his time for the bad news kennels being a money making thing and then some obstruction charges that he got. But he never went to. He never did it for the animal. He got out of that one. Probably paid some fines and whatever. So is he fine to be free and have job? Yes, but don't support it and don't act like Michael Vick and dogs can be in the same room.
A
There was his press conference.
B
Oh, is this what he said? They asked him Kyler off the field. I saw you took that post from last night. Did you get some blowback online? Yeah. You know, he's smiling.
D
In no way, shape or form do I, you know, condone, you know, animal cruelty or dog, you know, dog fighting, whatever it is. What were you doing for me personally, y' all saw me wear the Michael Vick jersey. The player that I admired very much growing up and then, you know, being home with my, with my pup who, you know, my dog trunks and swoosh, they both get treated like kings. So it's not like, you know, in no way, shape or form am I condoning that.
B
Yes, you are.
D
I saw how it affected people and, you know, decided to take it down.
B
You're an idiot. Period. End of story. That's dumb. My dogs get treated like kings. If you love dogs, you wouldn't wear Michael Vick jersey. You can still think he's a great athlete, but you don't support him anymore. That's just stupid.
C
It's a tough wear.
B
Stupid you can't get. You can't explain your way out of it. Oh, I love my dogs very much. That's why I keep my Michael Vick jersey on. You don't. You know, I've got Dahmer posters over at the orphanage. You think the orphanage is going to last for a while now? It's like, you know, I got John Wayne Gacy stuff at my. My basement factory. No, I don't think that's going to fly.
A
We've all talked about dumb jerseys we got, and Vic, obviously a Steeler at one point. You never went out and bought one of those?
B
Lord, not even as a joke? No. You get rid of some of those. Like, oh, my God, I saw a guy yesterday at the Brady, and I went to the baseball game, and dudes walking around in Bonds jersey still. And I'm like, geez, that's. It's not like, you know, socially unacceptable, but you're still a fan, knowing all you know.
C
And there's a lot that are still.
B
I know, but they're standing up still, like, I'm a Cubs fan still deep down from the olden times. I don't follow them as much anymore since my love had to die a couple years ago. And I'm getting a pretty successful love killing because they're great this year, and I'm not watching them, but I'm not wearing a Sammy Sosa jersey because it's, like, tainted. And that was just him breaking baseball's rules and lying about it and just being kind of synonymous with, you know, not being on the up and up. Certainly not gonna do it for a dude like that. It is. It's laundry at a certain point. And that's just a stupid way to say, well, man, my dogs get. My dogs are treated awesome. So I did a professional photo shoot with a Michael, and nobody in the room said, you think the Michael Vick jersey's a good idea with the dogs? You know of anybody in your life that said Kyler? Maybe not the best choice of outfit?
A
Well, he got up immediately after that answer and walked out. That was the next question coming, I'm sure.
B
Tough guy sat in that room and said, I don't care what people say. Take the picture. And they took it. And then he got the blowback, and somebody called him from the Cardinals and said, I don't think you want to do this. You better get that down now. And it's too late. Tyler, at the very least, deserves a nice fat round of boos and barks at the game. Next home game if he starts. And I think the Cardinals are not brave at all if they don't stand up and say, hey, what he did was really wrong and we're knocking him for it. At least come out and say that. That's the face of your franchise. The face of your franchise does something like that. That egregiously dumb. Then you have to go up and say we've taken care of this as a company because that's how the NFL works.
C
It's the second one or third. Basically like you were saying. Yeah. You have the video game story that just kind of backfired.
B
He just doesn't have the resume. He doesn't have the resume. He doesn't. This wasn't a one off of like Kyler's not that bright. This is a constant. And then this is like just a bridge too far. You wouldn't wear an OJ jersey walking into the stadium. You just wouldn't. You don't have to be with a blonde woman. You don't have to do you wear an O.J. jersey hanging around football or post it online? O.J. was the goat. You're in trouble. He no longer represents the talent that he had. And O.J. was talented, period. End of day was great, if not the greatest running back of all time in the argument. Dude ran for 2,000 yards in a 14 game season where the defense was allowed to poke your eyes out and do. They didn't have rules back then. He still went for 2000. You can't wear his jersey. You can't. If you do, you got heat coming.
A
What about people wearing Ray Rice or Ray Lewis jerseys?
B
Ray Lewis is slippery.
A
That's. That's what I'm saying.
B
Apparently they never got him.
C
Yeah, nothing happened.
B
They never got him. They never got OJ. But we all raise is even more cloudy. OJ's wasn't cloudy. OJ just got good lawyers and that's all that happened with oj. OJ did it. We all know OJ did it.
C
Well, pretty good lawyers.
B
Ray was around it. We're not sure what happened that night. He. He sat for obstruction of justice too. Never gave up names. Sold out the two dudes that died. You know, he basically checks and wrote some checks. Yeah. I gave him, you know, helped out and his sit down was for obstruction of justice because it's essentially that's really all he did. But he was there and didn't. Didn't really tell the tale. Raise a very raise a touchy one. He got away with it. Basically. He's. He's. He Teflon through that one. And it was also while he was playing. So it was a little weird that they're like he's so great. Is there anything we can do to make this like. And they did they. I mean he got free of that. But Kyler Murray isn't Kyler Murray not going to any ring of honor. They're not putting statues around the stadium. This was just really stupid. He can redeem himself, but it's got to be better than that. Whatever. I just watched. Screw you, Kyler, Murray and Cardinals. I'm waiting for you to say. Something to A media outlet has called for the Cardinals to act. That's us talking about us. That's me. You don't have. KUPD doesn't have to if they don't want to. I'll do it. Media personality calls for Cardinals to do something.
A
I think Gambo's going after him yet.
B
That's one thing a guy said. It's weird that Cambo. They're gonna touch him always. Yeah, but they're always talking about how wonderful Kyler is as a person. And up until this, I didn't ever question that. I don't think he could still be a good guy. It's just a really stupid thing he did. And if you're the face of that billion. What is that? A $6 billion operation, and they stand back and say, we're fine with that. That's. That's egg in their face. That's just bad. Now, if nobody said a thing about it, if it all just went away, then that's exactly what kind of capitalism is. It's like the market didn't call for anybody to say anything. Nothing bad happened. But he took it down for a reason, because enough people were pissed off, and he, you know, he sort of, I guess, apologized because enough people got pissed off. So it needs to be out there. We shouldn't just turn a blind eye to that kind of stupidity, because he'll do it again. Cardinals should be worried he'll do it again. He's. He doesn't have the track record to have done this if he had, you know, 15 years under his belt to be in. Like, guys, this is a one off, a really kind of goofiness. I. You've. You've known me as. And plus, I've got all these playoff wins, and I am the face of the franchise for a reason. And you guys know that I'm the guy, and I've handled this perfectly from jump and, you know, never then maybe give him a little grace. But this. This is not a guy who has that cachet. Fact. Just a fact. Weird that they're finding it and some guy from Cardinals says, I think he'll get in there. They put Carson Palmer in the ring of honor. I bet you a couple more seasons and Kyler gets in just for sticking around. There's a chance Cardinals will stick. People in that ring of honor that I don't understand. Ring of honor, to me means you got us somewhere. Without you. This team doesn't. You know, I don't think of Carson Palmer immediately as like, wow, Those were the glory days of the Cardinals, man. They were perennial. You know, they were going to the super bowl and NFC Championship games were pretty calm. And they had one nice run with him, and then he got some yards. But. So maybe they're right.
C
He did all right with the Bengals.
B
He was good with the Bangles. I think he's in the Bengals ring of honor. No, he had some numbers. I don't think so. I don't know. Could be. This one says radio stations still play Michael Jackson songs. That's true. And for a while there, they didn't. They won't play the. The Dukes of Hazzard on tv. You're not allowed to play that because of the racist car. Come on. Yeah, the Michael Jackson thing is kind of a. A slippery one. But after he died, everybody loved him again. It was weird.
C
What was he guilty of?
B
Well, that's the thing. It was all speculation. He never really. I mean. And we all kind of know something went down.
A
It's like O.J.
B
We know he did it. Holmberg's morning sickness. I don't know how much he did, though. And I think that's it. Because there's still a gray area you can argue that his music can live. Bill Cosby's show isn't exactly flourishing. People don't like to mention that as the greatest show of the 80s. Okay. Still, that got some. Got some taint on it. I don't see Subway going well. Jared was good for business. I'm pretty sure they abandoned the old Jared things. Not saying you gotta get rid of again.
C
They're guilty.
B
Right. But that gray area, they still probably would have.
A
Here's your ring of honor.
B
That's just in the Cardinal's ring of honor. I got some. Night Train Lane's my favorite one. Just because that's the best nickname. And he used to clothesline everybody. Night Train Lane would have been arrested in today's game for what he used to. How he used to tackle. Used to try to run at guys with a clothesline. Necked guys. Yeah. It's not. I don't know who half of those dudes are because it was the 30s. Pat Tillman deserves it.
A
Yep.
B
Roy Greene, Carson Palmer. And I'm sure that Larry's getting in there pretty darn soon. So Roy Jetstream, Green, Jim Hart. He put up Some good numbers, but they were never really competitive back in the 70s with Jim Hart. Hardens don't have a lot of options. Put in vice at Kahima just because it's a great name and people would have to look it up. It's a great punt returner like Nitrain. Nitrain Lane's my favorite. Just do yourself a favor and Google old clips. In Night Train Lane, the dude ran at people with his arms stiff out trying to take their heads off. And he succeeded more often than not.
C
I watched a little feature. One of the trainers for the Oakland Raiders was a pad specialist. And it was the old forget the quarterback's name, but cornerback Lester Hayes. Basically it wasn't Lester. It was a guy that I didn't recognize. He's like. He basically could form with the pad material, create the ca build cast. He was showing all the different techniques that they had.
B
Yeah, that was that way it would.
C
Allow me to get under the chin strap.
B
Yeah, just a punch, dude. Yeah. Well, they allow you to play football with a cast on. That's the craziest thing in the world. You can play with a cast. It's like you can't grab anything. Good luck. They're going to knock you in your broken arm. But it's. Yeah, pretty crazy. This guy says took two days for Kyler to remove that post, which shows a lack of moral integrity and judgment with Kyler. He's still a child then. That's what I'm getting at. You want to be the face of franchise. You know, he didn't act because he wanted to do it. He did it because he was slapped in the hand. Silly. Anyway, we're going to do. And all this could have been different if we had. Oh, you know, by the way, all the pictures I very much appreciate of. Who would you rather, Melania or Kate Middleton? Because they're over there at the UK with the. With the Royals duo. There's people saying all over the Internet that we want to talk about false information, that that's not the real Melania. That that's a, you know, body defend. Bob. A double. It's what. It's a double that they have Melania doubles. Now. I believe that there are doubles for presidents. I think Joe Biden had a few. That one dude was six. Six and I'm pretty. And he could run.
A
Oh, man. I was like, in the Olympics, he had track shoes.
B
He ran across the White House lawn. And I'm like, joe Biden can't walk. This dude's running. And he's clearly like 6ft, 6 inches tall. He's huge. So I started thinking, like, why wouldn't we have doubles for a press? Of course we do. I don't think you can do it for the women. Because if there's a woman out there that looks like Melania Trump, how much would you have to pay her to stay quiet about being Melania's double?
C
Where do you stay? Where do you live?
B
Also, yeah, you're getting attention everywhere you go. And she couldn't keep her trap shut.
A
Broad nowhere.
B
If people would tell her, like, what do you do for a living? I can't say you look a lot like Melania Trump or you were a double or something. And then it would get leaked in her heart. Too many dudes would be after a Melania Trump look alike. You can't hide her. And the reason they're saying that this Melania isn't the real one is because she's holding hands with Donald and she's all smiles and she's like, really? She's not stoic like the Melania we've come to know. She's kissing Donald. She's loving it.
C
I'm like, way too affectionate.
B
Yeah. You got to remember. I don't remember. I don't know what country she's from. Slovenia or something like that. She's some girl from some small village in some dump who's sitting at the Castle Windsor with the royal family. This is probably going to make a few people smile. So I don't, I don't buy that there's a.
C
Could have been a last minute replacement. You think she couldn't make the trip?
B
How do you get double Melania on the plane if real Melania doesn't want to go? You have to have her on standby. So she's got to be on the plane. You got to have her in bags or a cage. Like, no woman's going to put up with this. There's no way there's a double Melania.
C
Is she wearing sunglasses the whole time?
B
No, she looked amazing. Did you see her in her yellow dress with the. Oh, my goodness, she looks beautiful. But if there's another Melania, she could make so much money being a model or an actress or something. We're just going all over the talk show circuit as fake Melania.
C
It was an honor. I was a double for the President. I was a double for the how much?
B
And there had to be. There'd be books. She'd be blabbing them. And trust me, after he lost in 2020, this isn't new double Milani, because that would mean there's three of them. There's not that many women that look that good that can fool us, like. And plus, she wouldn't want to look. You ever seen women that wear the same clothes? They get mad at each other. You want her to look and have no identity.
C
They would be on the. Who wore it better?
B
Look at her, man. Now that looks like the real Melania. Like, she looks miserable. She's pretty, but she doesn't look happy to be.
A
He doesn't look happy either.
B
Well, they're taking pictures together and she won't touch them, and that's crazy, but there's shots of them coming off the plane, and she's grabbing his hand and smiling and full of beans and loving every single.
C
I did notice the one I saw. I saw one where they're holding hands like, oh, good.
B
Yeah, yeah. It's like, good to patch it up. Yeah. I can't believe there's a second Melania. There's no way that woman would. In 2020, after he lost, second Melania would have had a book written by 2022. I was Melania's body double. And it would be like, oh, we knew it. That. Then they have to call her back in 2024. We need you back. The real Melania won't go to England with me. I need somebody on my arm. That is the real.
C
That's her.
B
Yeah. You're not. You're not faking that. No woman wants to look exactly like another woman. Although the Kardashians are starting to prove that theory a little wrong. They hate that. Oh, look at that bitch. Same outfit. They'd be catty. Melania would say something to her. It's like, I feel that dress out a little better than you. Let's get some cushioning up. And you're. You don't look exactly like. My breasts are bigger. And then the fake Milania be like, bitch, my breasts are just fine. Nobody's gonna. Your face. You've got flaws. Watch this. They would. They would eventually fight. I betcha. If there is a fake Melania they've never met, and if that were the case, then Melania would come out with something and going, who's this bitch that. When I don't go someplace, you drag her out there. It looks exactly like me. You think Donald is gonna know? I'm gonna try to get both of them to pee on me. There's no way that. There's no way there's a Melania body double. No way. That woman would be. There would be a fight within 10 minutes.
C
There are two towers next to.
B
I guarantee. Well, I mean, it's not that Queen. She's Queen. I don't know. They have a name. Queen something or other. I don't care about them. But yeah, the. Can you imagine? Like, Melania would have to approve that. And she's sitting in a room and they're bringing in potential Melania doubles. There had to be an audition process.
A
Oh, yeah.
B
And the Melania body doubles. And then Melania would sit there. I don't see what. You see this woman is. That's not me. Women have all false. Every. Everybody kind of does. Has a false sense of what they look like. Thanks to Instagram and ring lights. So some broad comes in and she's kind of like got bags under her eyes a little bit. She looks just like you, ma'. Am.
C
What are you talking.
B
She doesn't look anything like me. She's dumpy. Move. Next. And then that bitch would hear that. And then she'd go like, I'm gonna tell. I was supposed to be a Melania double, but she didn't like it. Cause she said, but she knows deep down that I'm prettier than her. And God forbid they brought one in that was a little better looking or had better boobs. She wouldn't want that around Donald. There's no way there's a body double for Melania. Melania's doing the Melania work.
A
Imagine the tryouts at Postino's for this.
B
Oh, man.
A
It'd be br.
C
And also private.
B
She have friends that before. My God. You should be Melania's body double. You look just like her. She'd be mad. I look like Trump's wife. Is that. What are you saying? Like, there'd be. They'd be catty about this from jump. Can't happen. And then they expect them to coexist quietly about it. Have you met women? Hi, I'm Earth. Reality is here. And it said, this can't happen. I was at the Cardinal cheerleaders auditions in 2003, and they almost started fighting with the people telling them they couldn't dance. We were the judges and the. I think it was Bidwell's daughter. And then some other lady was in charge of the char. The cheer team. Yeah. And they would say things like, you know, we're not even going to bother scoring this. You're not ready. You're not ready. Like, they'd get mad immediately. Like anybody told them they weren't pretty enough or good enough to be cheerleaders. And they said it in real tactful ways. It was hilarious. But they were catty in that deal. And they were just trying to make 50 bucks a game. That was over 50. Imagine the Melania body doubles paycheck. We need you to stay quiet. Don't ever bring it up. Even that. Even when we're all dead? You can't write a book about it. You can't. No.
C
And playing the wife. You have to do everything the wife does.
B
I gotta make a run at this prima noctis, they call it. I believe I got us. I gotta find out if you're exactly like her. So here, I'm gonna lay down on this glass table and I need you to take a huge. I need to know that your Wagon wheel B hole is exactly the same. So I don't get confused. It's for national security. You've got to take a huge. On me. Right on my chest. And then we'll play with it. Just like Melania. You want to be like her, you gotta do what she does. I don't want to be weird about it, but I need you to pee in this cup. And I'm gonna pour it on my head and you're gonna rub it in. And I want you to do it the way Melania does. Melania, show it. He would definitely. He would slip. That's not the real Melania. He would just flat say it. That's a fake one. The real one didn't want to come. She's got a headache. So we brought the fake one. The Royals won't know. Don't say anything. He would say it in a second.
C
He goes to the stable.
B
Yeah.
C
He would fire so many of them.
B
He would. This one's a little lippy. Yeah. There was. There's no way we have girl body doubles. They can't handle that. Especially if it turns out that the press. What they're doing to Melania in the UK right now. My God. You can disagree with the politics, but she is absolutely glowing in that yellow dress. I've never seen her look better. And if that's the fake Melania and that headline rolls to the real Melania. Fire that bitch. She doesn't look better in that yellow dress than I do. No way. Melan is not letting her borrow her shoes. She's not letting her wear her clothes. It's not happening. Although the argument does.
C
Servicing the president. Okay.
B
She. Oh, she doesn't care if she blows Donald on tv. It's so out of character. There is something to the argument. And she was a little too happy compared to what we've seen from the real Milan. I think Melania is beautiful and when she smiles, it lights a room up. I think she's stunning. If there's multiple Melanias out there, those women can marry billionaires too. I don't know what they'd be doing hanging around pretending to be Melania Trump. That's not. If you look enough like Melania, all you have to do is go to millionaires.com and why would you even put yourself in a position to have to risk like life and limb essentially hanging out with Donald Trump. You go marry some guy who runs some private jet company, live in a back of mummy mountain in luxury and not lift a finger. That's better. And then let people tell you you look like her. You look so much like Melania Trump. Oh, thank you. I know. Anyway, I married another millionaire because I look this good. That's what we do. Hot chicks don't get hard jobs. That's dumb. Hot mid-50s women, they're not humping it. Waking up going, oh God, another day in the makeup chair. I gotta go pretend to be Melania and put myself out there and not screw this up. That's too hard. All she has to do is wander around El Charo one night without a ring on and she's got 10 or 12 dudes with tons of money ready to make her theirs.
C
At least 10 weekends flown somewhere.
B
The audition process unbelievable that they see they're not paying her enough that would she could get at El Charo, roll her over to French laundry in California and all of a sudden you got billionaires from the tech. No way there's a fake Melania. No way.
C
I have a friend, you know her as well. But she meets the guys and every time that she's gone through the couple relationships, the first date is, oh, we're going here for the weekend flies.
B
It's like being on the Bachelor. Yeah, her first dates are planning dates.
C
Are just unbelievable weekends.
B
Like, you could take my private hot air balloon. What? You have one, I got three. We'll jet up to the Napa and my house in Napa and we'll hot air balloon for a first date. I was thinking maybe Applebee's just to test it out. Maybe a coffee. This dude's blinded in Napa so you can hot air balloon in his private hot air balloon. Okay, he wins. Melania. Look alikes have that option. Nobody else. Holmberg's morning sickness. And I'll tell you Right now, there might have been like 11 Michelle Obamas because those chicks weren't making any money on Those dudes weren't making nothing.
A
Those dudes weren't making nothing.
B
I did that solely so Brett would say that. I was expecting you to go. All you got to do is go into any NFL locker room and say, I need 11. I need 11 strong men. Put this dress on. I was doing it strictly for you. Don't say anything. They'll know if you talk. Put this wig on. You're her. Just for Brett. Ain't that a bitch? Brett loves the Big Mike stuff. Brett revels in Big Mike stuff. I find it hysterical. I don't believe it's necessarily true that Michelle Obama is a man, but I find the Internet winning this battle in a funny way. But I don't necessarily believe and occasionally.
C
Come across someone that actually.
B
Oh, there are people who are actually think this is one of the biggest cover ups. I root for them to be right because that's funnier than it being wrong. But for the time being, the Big Mike memes, which Brett, by the way, will send you every time he gets one. If he gets one, I get one. It's basically, we might as well have the same phone for a big mic meme, because that's coming to me. And almost always they're hilarious. But yeah, all you had to do was just go into like Grambling locker room and say, because those dudes weren't going to make any money, the ladies over there aren't going to make any money. Isn't that right, Brett? Anyway, this guy says, what kind of sissy cries for a man to get in trouble for making a Michael Vick joke? Because he didn't say it was a joke. Grow a pair of nuts, homeburg, you hack. Grow a spine or get off the radio. Calling a football player tough guy doesn't make you any tougher either. This is the more. This is the morning sickness now. No wonder you had to steal radio bits from Q and A. Oh, and a Opie and Anthony. Old crybaby hack. All right, well, you left your phone number on there. I might call you later. He didn't say it was a joke. If he said it was a joke, it'd be like poorly timed joke. You love Kyler Murray. I get it. That's cool. You're a big fan of what he did, okay? You have every right to do that. You know how I know you're wrong? You called me names. You're mad about it. You started to resort to personal Attacks on me. Yeah. I called him a tough guy because he was trying to be a tough guy. He had his pitbull. He had his Michael Vick jersey, and he was flexing. That's what tough guys do, I guess.
C
If you put it out there and the initial picture and you're saying this is about redemption. I've met Michael Veck, who I liked as a football player. Finally met him. And I. And I truly believe.
B
Right.
C
He is not doing that. You know what I say?
B
What did I say? Explain yourself.
C
Exactly.
B
Explain yourself. That's all. Yeah, yeah.
C
This is what, the Morning Post picture up there.
B
By the way, I've never once listened to Opie and Anthony. I think. I think that they're probably pretty good because I don't know if we stole anything. It was inadvertent. So good accusation. But I've. I don't even know how to access the show. And that hasn't been a show for years, has it?
C
I don't think so.
B
Anthony's been off for. Or maybe Opie's been off for ages.
A
Big Mike's double was.
B
Don't do it. See, he's. He's lost Billy. He said.
A
I thought it was Michael Clark Duncan, but he died last year.
B
No, he died long before that. This one says, keep bumping your gums about the king of the United States and our second first lady. You can end up like those other comedians through the second first lady is not a thing. Though Fernando did put. Just kidding at the end of that. Then somebody says, if Carson Palmer's in the Ring of Honor, why isn't Edger and James or Emmett Smith. Edgerton. James is in a Super bowl with the Cardinals. They did as much as him with the cards, which is nothing. Edron James has a better argument than Carson Palmer anyway. Maybe we do. You know what? If we're. We did steal something from Opie and Anthony, it must have been great, because those guys were pretty successful.
A
Who's Julio Gomez?
B
I don't know.
A
That's. That's another body double that they're saying.
B
Okay, stop. Stop it. You're done with this. I shouldn't have. I knew what I did. Oh, there he is. Yeah. And to the guy that doesn't like me for the Kyler Murray thing, that is. That does sort of look a little like Michelle about.
C
Oh, man.
B
Kind of. That's not right. But see that. The guy that doesn't like me. Tell me exactly why you're supporting Kyler Murray. I'll hear you out, because I don't see it. I do not see it. So tell me while you're calling me names. He calls. His name is go screw. I think he's, you know, he's brave enough to email this thing over, but he's not going to do it on an email with his name or actually sign his old name. You can call me names all. All he wants Old. Try baby hack. Okay, you're a tough guy too then because you didn't put your name out and you didn't do anything. She wanted to yell and call people names because you disagreed with him. Go ahead, email me. It's holmerg@90kpd.com I would love to hear why you support Kyler Murray for what he did there. Let me know at 7:32. What do you got in the big board of musical treats there, Bert?
A
I'm still looking at.
B
I know what you're doing. Gotta distract you. All right, wake up.
A

B
Scott Haynes is right. He says don't forget the Cardinals have the problem that one of their ex running backs just got arrested for dog fighting. That's right. Lashawn Johnson got arrested this year for dog fighting. Says Kyler is a lot like Nathan Sutherland doing a remake of the Beach Boys song Vegetables after yesterday. That's true. Yeah. If Kyler Murray started to sing or not Kyler Murray, Nathan Sutherland started to sing Vegetables. Or if you dressed as Nathan Sutherland and walked around in the vegetable aisle and like held them passionately and took pictures up on the Instagram. It's funny, you're gonna rub some people the wrong way. If you're Kyler Murray, you're not a comic. That ain't gonna work for you. You don't have that. So yeah, I want to hear from that guy. I really do want to hear from old go go screw. I want to hear from you on why you support that.
A
Give us a call.
B
Why you're okay with it. Yeah, you can call. I'm not gonna go through the phones on that one, but you can. I have an email here. I assume it's a fake one. I'm not going to call you names. That's a losers. That's a loser's result. You start cussing at somebody or start screaming out you're a jerk or you're this, you're that. You know you're wrong. Why else would you have to personally attack. What do you want? There's a couple of them all right on the list.
A
Sabaton, God, Smack, Rage against a Machine. Hell yeah. Skindred, Electric Call Boy, Pennywise, of mice and Men, Soul Fly, Sublime. New Danko Jones got released. Papa Roach. And then we were talking about it earlier. 34 years ago yesterday, the use your illusions got released.
B
Unbelievable. 34 years ago. By the way, J. Todd Himes has a great theory about body doubles for women. He goes, you know, you're right. They would never use women for body doubles. For politicians. I bet you they use trans men. They keep it quiet.
A
Well, no, I'm not gonna stay out of this.
B
Let's just pick a sign. I wanted to do that again and go at you. Oh, Hunter's right. He emailed. He said, guy. I know, I know the guy that emailed you. He's defending Kyler because he's the mayor of Munchkin land. He's protecting his own. I'm like, oh. I say, okay, that makes sense. Thank you, Hunter. Tons of sense on that one. Tons of sense. Yeah, the use your illusion 1 and 2. Did they both come out the same day? Yeah, yeah. 34 years ago. And I told Brett the story before my friend Brian Rendall and I. And this was my fault. I went to my friend Joe's. We hung out in Joe's basement, and it was Friday, and I had just either heard or read that the new guns was out at midnight and Tower Records was opening up there to stay open for tomorrow's world. Like, early copy. Walk in the door, told my musical friend Brian, brian, new guns is out. He goes, tonight. I'm like, yes. Hopped right in Brian's car, sped over to the Tower Records. That was on Alma School and Southern. Oh, yeah. Like, there's nobody here. We're first charging the door. All right, you believe it? No lines. And we asked the guy, where's the new guns? He points over to the display. It was LA Guns new album. That was a weak wrong. Plenty available, tons available. And they had some other thing they were doing. But I had heard that the New Guns album was out. Ran to the. We sped to the tower, all the way down Longmore. Just speeding. Get over on Southern, make the right head Got flying to all my school through the parking lot of the Black Angus Park Sideways running in Gotta beat the, gotta beat the Mob why is no one here yet? It's 1204. Because it was LA Guns. So it was 34 years and maybe two weeks ago that I was running through a Tower Records parking lot. The New Guns is out. The new Guns is out.
A
Did you push John Gordon out of the way to get in front of him?
B
John Gordon was working at that tower. Calm down, everybody. There's enough for everyone. Tracy, Guns will meet your needs. Where's the Good Guns? What are you talking about? This is the Good Gun. It's LA Guns. Right, man? Bitchin', he said, I remember it was.
C
The midnight release and I was at the Zone at the time. We had nothing to do with Guns N Roses as far as playing the music. But there are a couple of people at the sales that went there for the night thing came in.
B
It's an awesome album.
C
Had to wait, lined up. But I told you guys that the thing that I saw Yesterday being the 34th year, they said it released at midnight and by 2:30 already 500,000 copies were sold.
B
It's crazy. That's the way it used to work. And November Rain was already all over MTV at that point. And it's. That's my favorite song off of that whole thing. It is such a great song. It's seven minutes, but it's three songs in one. And they get two guitar solos that I remember my dad and I watched that video and he goes, this is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. He loved the guitars and that was how good that album was. It's like, as far as music goes, it's perfect. Toledo, get November Rain in there. Let's do that. Celebrate 34 years of Guns N Roses. How about that? And 34 years and two weeks of LA Guns release in 19. By the way, what album was that awful album? I don't know, whatever. What came out in 91. Awful album. I mean, just dreadfully bad. It wasn't like LA Guns were. And we bought it because we didn't, you know, we're like, well, we're here. Oh, so bad. I don't know their albums. Do they have multiples? Oh, yeah. I don't know when what was. That's a. That's the re release. Yeah.
A
Like, everybody's glamming for that.
B
It wasn't good.
A
Damn.
B
How many albums have these guys put out? I have no idea what this one is. Jesus.
C
This is like the same songs on everyone.
B
Like 11 or 12. At this point.
A
I'm trying to get to the 90s. All right, here we go. Vicious Circle.
B
I don't know. I don't remember it, to be honest with you. It went away real quick in my car because two weeks later Guns n Roses came out. What was I doing?
C
It's got to be that one.
B
Yeah. I don't know what it was. I have no idea. I don't think it was Vicious Circle. I don't. It doesn't look familiar. Wasn't a live album, I'll tell you that.
A
I'll bet it was this one. Hollywood Vampires.
B
That might be it. I think that is good for a midnight. There's nothing on it. There's literally nothing on it. It was such a bad record. I think that is it. The art looks right on that. I don't know that I want to hear it. Oh, yeah, you do. Come on.
C
Maybe we'll bring back some fond memories.
B
I think that is it. That artwork with the five guys on the front looks right. Oh, I tried to like it too. That was the worst part. We tried to, like, get into it and it was just dreadfully bad. She kisses like a desert flower in the morning. Oh, wow. God, she's well awake. John Gordon is waking up. The boner and his disturbance in the falls. I know. I want to hear any more of that. Literally jogged out of the car to go inside. Man. I can't believe there's nobody.
A
After hearing that, I could see why nobody was there.
B
No one was there. And why was Tower Records open at midnight? It was one of the releases. They had two or three other. But they were just staying open. I think they were open till midnight anyway. They stayed open till, like, one.
C
Well, that was a big way to roll out to the. The midnight release.
B
Yeah, terrible. I did one for Pearl Jam at Virgin Records when they. When they released Yield. And I sat out there as the radio station and we were doing giveaways for.
A
That wasn't even that good of an hour.
B
No, it wasn't good at all. It's really not good. This was, though. And this came out 34 years ago yesterday. November rain. Guns n Roses use your illusion one. And if you put the the hits off of both of these albums together, you got a greatest hits. It is unreal. This song is so good. Oh it's ridiculous. Every bit of it. And hearing it live. When they got back together and I was at that first show in Vegas and they popped this out, place went bananas. There you go. Makes you feel a little bit old. Today it's Guns n roses. It's 98.
