[Brady]

Word out about how important therapy can be. I struggle most weeks to, like, get.

[Larry]

Up, get myself up and ready, and go to therapy or, you know, whatever. Like, even like to open the laptop to talk to my therapist. Sometimes can be really difficult. But I do it because I realize how important it is for me to continue to feel good. I felt the best I felt in a long time through therapy.

[Brady]

[Larry]

The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. All right, fine, Rich. Now we'll go. It's time now for the entertainment drill, and it's brought to you by our [e-mail] the home of tactical black self defense training. And I just text my friends at React Defense, and I have a plumbing issue at the rental house. It's gross. The bathtub is filling with water sometime during the day or night, and I don't know. And it's. And then, so I'm like, oh. And then it'll drain, but it leaves, like, dirt. And so I just push that back down there, rinse it out, it drains again. And then later, like, if it's. I don't know, like two days later, I'll go back and I'm looking in there, and I'm like, what the hell happened here? None of the other drains are doing it. So I just looked online, and it basically said it's dirty water. And I don't know what that means, but evidently there's a sewage issue. So I've been slopping around, and somebody's poo. It's coming up. Well, gee, sorry. What, Brett? Maybe it's that hippie dude's wife squatting at your house or something. Which one? The cleaner? Yeah, that guy didn't have a wife. So I gotta take the day off. And I'm very disappointed. I wanted to go wrestle, but, yeah, it's. I don't know if they have a defense for that, but I don't even know what dirty water is. I plunged the thing seemed to fix it all the water went away. I'm like, that's it? Poured Drano in there? Nope. So I got big trouble. My landscaper text man told me, you got something going on back. I go, no, Al. So that's my day. Instead of doing What I want to do, which is go to react defense and do what I do. Get in good shape, help out. Watch. Watch me become a better me right in front of my eyes. You can do that anytime you go down there. Got an email from a girl who said that she's doing it. She's the one who told us she drives like four hours a day to go do this. Every time she goes, it's forever drive. That's exaggeration. But still she's like, it's the best place in town and you can't beat it. She's become confident, she's become stronger. And that's all you can get from your workouts. Workouts are designed to make you more confident about yourself. Now give yourself some skills to go along with that. Forget about it. You just become better at being yourself. Reactdefense.com no defense for plumbing, but they'll help you in your self defense of your everyday life. It's the home of Tactical Black, which I think is the nickname of the stuff coming out of that drain. Brady Entertainment.

[Brady]

According to a report, Disney's market value has dropped $3.87 billion since suspending Jimmy Kimmel. But that's one report. There's another girl that starred in that she Hulk, Tatiana Maslany. She's calling for a to boycott.

[Larry]

The hell is she Hulk? That's a movie.

[Brady]

That was that spin off that came out of the Hulk series.

[Larry]

Well, everybody's listening to her. Nobody even knows what the hell it is.

[Brady]

I know. I think that's why she wanted to.

[Larry]

Get I know what she Hulk is as a. As a theory. They made a movie.

[Brady]

Attorney at Law. John.

[Larry]

Why do I not remember this?

[Brady]

I saw one episode, of course.

[Larry]

Oh, it's a show. Oh, yeah.

[Brady]

It was a series on. It was bad.

[Larry]

Here comes Larry to review Series Awful. It was a Disney TV series. I could have told you that by the title. Well, yeah, I mean, but you had to watch it just to laugh at it. And it was bad. It was really bad. Really?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Larry]

That's Tatiana Maslani, the she Hulk Attorney at law.

[Brady]

Yes.

[Larry]

Oh, I see. I see by your haircut. I see what's going on here. I'm not watching it.

[Brady]

Priscilla Presley has a memoir coming out. Softly As I leave you, Life after elvis.

[Larry]

It's been 50 years, lady.

[Brady]

Yep. So she's going around interviewing, telling about the book and someone asked her about, did your daughter Lisa Marie have a physical relationship with Michael Jackson?

[Larry]

That's in the book. She said she did in great detail.

[Brady]

Yeah. But she didn't approve of the marriage.

[Larry]

Because he was black.

[Brady]

She felt that she's a racist. She said she felt like Michael wasn't marrying Lisa Marie, he was marrying the Presley.

[Larry]

No, she married too.

[Brady]

Because you were. What?

[Larry]

Cuz I'm black.

[Brady]

What?

[Larry]

Black. Like the night you heard me. And then she married that Mississippi hillbilly and they hate black. So I tried to marry their daughter and they threw a big fit that they used to scream at me all the time. Out of my house, Tyrone. And I'm like, my name's Michael.

[Brady]

The other chapter she talked about is when Elvis called her and she was in bed with Robert Kardashian.

[Larry]

Nice.

[Brady]

It was long after they, you know.

[Larry]

Well, yeah, she wasn't with them very.

[Brady]

Long, but she divorced him randomly. Kardashian. Slade.

[Larry]

Yeah. It's 51 years literally since they were together and 50 since he's been dead. And you're still writing books about. You know, it's been tough. It's been a tough five decade.

[Brady]

There's some stories you haven't heard of.

[Larry]

Yeah, get over it. You've moved on. Right. Life after Leslie Nielsen would be more apropos. And you only did a movie with him. It's not like she apparently loved him.

[Brady]

Who?

[Larry]

Leslie? What do you mean?

[Brady]

Like, just thought he was awesome.

[Larry]

Oh, sure. Who? How could you not? He was awesome. But I mean, writing books 50 years after life after Elvis. You got a 50 year book there. You only did 13 with Elvis. The book of life after is longer.

[Brady]

Matthew McConaughey has a marriage tip. Ditch the king size bed. Opt for the queen instead. So you're closer to your spouse. No. Nope. No, no.

[Larry]

No. Thank you. No. Absolutely not. Read it again just to clear it up for everybody who didn't quite catch it, but he just make sure we just cement that.

[Brady]

Matthew McConaughey's Marriage Tip is to ditch that king size bed.

[Larry]

No.

[Brady]

Opt for a queen. Nope. Nope. All right, all right, all right, I'll know.

[Larry]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I tell you what, I'll be in the other room doing what I do in a bed of my own. There is no reason. I've had this theory for years. You spend your entire childhood trying to get your own bedroom. Then you spend your adolescence trying to escape from a house full of people with parents and other kids and all that other stuff. You get your own place with roommates. Then your goal is to get rid of the roommates all the time. You're trying to be independent and isolate, have your own Space. And what do you do when you get married? You cram into one bed. It's the opposite of what you've been doing your whole life. Sleeping.

[Brady]

Hollywood had it right originally.

[Larry]

Two beds.

[Brady]

I just saw one of those movies the other day.

[Larry]

It's what Seinfeld said. How did sex and sleep get all mixed up together just because it happens in the same room? Freeways and garages are completely different, yet there are cars on both. And that's not just us. I'll bet most women are going to say the same damn thing. They don't want us in there. Absolutely not. Yeah, it's awful.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Larry]

Sleeping in a bed with someone. You know how I know it's bad? I don't go to a vacation with Brady and go, hey, well, we'll just cram into the same bed. It makes me feel comfortable about our friendship. We hate it. It's a dream come true to have your own bed. It's just like being nine and your sister gets her own room and you get your own room. You're just clogged up. Oh, I love every second of it. Last thing you want to do is share a room.

[Brady]

Pretty sure Lisa would agree with no. Bigger bed.

[Larry]

A bigger bed. Bigger bed. Do you think? Remember your grant? I don't know if you had them, but remember your grandparents?

[Brady]

Allegedly.

[Larry]

Yeah, you had. That's the room. Remember their house and the bedroom was like eight by nine. It was a reasonable. And then as time went on, twin beds. They had a full bed.

[Brady]

That they. They had a full bed.

[Larry]

This is regardless.

[Brady]

At their house, too. On mom. On my mom's side.

[Larry]

Good.

[Brady]

Yep.

[Larry]

And then what did we do when we started building houses faster? Let's make these bedrooms bigger and put bigger beds in it so we can be further apart. And then it was just like. You've seen new houses. Master bedrooms. They're massive.

[Brady]

Couch seat over in the one corner.

[Larry]

Yeah, you got. You got a sitting area. You got someplace else to be. Oh, Lucy and Ricky had it right. Separate, bad dad. Right on the money. I don't understand, Matthew. Connie can suck it. All right, all right, all right. I know what I'm doing over here. Sex with a lady and sleeping right on top of each other. Terrible.

[Brady]

You see, Gary Busey was sentenced to two years probation for groping a woman at the one of those monster cons conventions.

[Larry]

We have to be more definitive.

[Brady]

It happened in 2022.

[Larry]

The monster definition has to be clearer because I think he might have confused that.

[Brady]

It was at a horror film convention.

[Larry]

Well, I Just thought I was a monster. Brady tried to kill her. Just a bitter. She looked like delicious honey crisp apple. So I did it.

[Brady]

And finally you can get paid. $666 to watch and rank and review five scary movies. Applications are right now open right now. October until October 7th. Cable tv.com. they give you a list of 13 movies. You pick five of them, you'll get a $50 Uber Eats gift card. One year subscription to Screenbox.

[Larry]

Hey, there you go. Get a bunch of terrible. $166 to watch no horror movies. Or like there's like one out of.

[Brady]

Every 100 list is, you know, like a Nightmare on Elm Street, Candyman, the Evil Dead, the Exorcist, the original one. It's all classics. Halloween.

[Larry]

Yeah, those are good ones.

[Brady]

You get 6002017 it.

[Larry]

Yeah, so long as you're not watching any of the new horror movies. Those horror movies are horrible.

[Brady]

The Jordan Peele ones have been pretty.

[Larry]

I don't know. Him's not looking too good. No, it's getting terrible reviews.

[Brady]

I thought it had good reviews. Get out. Was.

[Larry]

Wasn't that, you know, was great. But since then. All right, most horror movies are. When that was a thriller that was more of a suspense movie than it was a horror movie.

[Brady]

The Shining Zone.

[Larry]

Like, I look at Freddy Krueger as a horror movie. Yeah, that's a monster chasing you around.

[Brady]

Ones that you see as campy now.

[Larry]

But at the time, Nightmare on Elm street still not number one.

[Brady]

Horror for me was the worst.

[Larry]

Nightmare on Elm street, number one is absolutely insane and how deep and thoughtful it actually is. Then Freddie got what about the thing?

[Brady]

1982.

[Larry]

That's how much dumb. The Kurt Russell one. Yeah, I like that one a lot.

[Brady]

Wilford Brimley, Wasn't he in that?

[Larry]

Yeah, he looked like he was 31. He still looked the same age he was. It's. Yeah, it was dopey. Wasn't great. Wasn't really. Horror movies are dopey, though. I know, but I mean, that's what I'm saying.

[Brady]

Mutated Grizz.

[Larry]

See, and that's the thing. It was. It got silly and I just got a sneaky. Yeah, Bear in Antarctica. But like, that's why I like Nightmare on Elm street so much, is because it was actually horrifying after you left. Very possible. The thing inside your mind can kill you because if you die in your sleep, you die in your. Or if you die in your dreams, you die. Sounds like Exorcist put a murderer hell out of me. Oh, exorcist still gives me chills. It's slow now, but that's a good one. Yeah, thing. Yeah, I guess if you're gay. I suppose it's good mental. Here.

[Brady]

There's one on the list out of the 13. I didn't. Martyrs came out in 2008.

[Larry]

I don't know. I didn't hear that one. And pay me shows.

[Brady]

Your movies not that great.

[Larry]

Yeah, that's not that great. Nobody knows. That's it. We're done. Larry's coming up next. He's got you guys covered. If you're nice to Larry, he might give you all sorts of stuff and it'll be free because Larry loves you. That's it for us as long as the studio stays together. We'll see you tomorrow right here in the morning sickness. So long.

[Brady]

Hey, it's not weird. It's pretty cool actually. No membership fees.

[Larry]

I have heard enough of this feeding.
