I don't care for anybody. That's the guys who came before me, you know, Harvey Keitel, Christopher Walker, these kind of guys. Not these new guys, you know, they're not, they're not like us. They're not the real guys like Morgan Freeman. You've sort of enjoyed Morgan Freeman's work. I like Morgan Freeman in the penguin movie. Okay, understood. All right, now over to the top ranked square, President Trump. How are you, sir? Unbelievable. So great today. Absolutely fantastic. Yeah. Been busy week. I'm sure a very busy week.

I need a place to stay. My wife kicked me out. You're like the Freddy Krueger of pillow sales. If I dream on your pillow, you show up. If it happens in real life, it happens in your dreams and vice versa. Oh, my God, that's horrifying. I'm buying a pillow. I am a pillow. Over now to the middle square, Pythagoras Brady. How are you doing there? Yeah, I was doing some math earlier. Yeah? What'd you find then? I'm not good at math, basically, is what I found that. Do you remember I told you that 87 out of 100 things, what's the percentage of that? Can't quite do 87%. I don't know if that's accurate. I'd have to look into that. I have an Asian friend I'm gonna ask later, but I'm not real sure which one. Do you know any math, Jonathan Kite? I know that 87 is 87 out of 100 is 87%. I don't know. I'd have to look into that. I am the math expert on the show. Correct also. Yes, very correct. Thank you. Other me. It's very true. I was doing math earlier this week on the air. That's one of the best radio bits ever. Middle aged man doing math. I think that's a solid bet we're gonna do probably every day. Hey, Jonathan. Jonathan Kite's here. Cool. All right, now over to the middle right square. Tom Hanks joining us. Hi. Oh, hi. Guys, let me just say this. I am not here to play this game. I am here to say release the Epstein files. Well, because I am the only name that people associate with.

Bottom right square. Our Lord and savior, Tripp Reeb. How are you, sir? Yeah, no, I'm fine. I'm enjoying the show. Okay. I like it. And I'm surprised that President Trump didn't tell you. What? That it just a little Tylenol and you'll be all better. I think it works in reverse for guys like you. Yeah, I haven't heard that yet. Is that true? I don't know. Guzzle as much Tylenol as you can tonight. And let's. Wait a second. You just don't want to pay me, is that right? No, I think that's not it. You can guzzle as much Tylenol as you want as long as you're not pregnant. Okay. As long as you're not pregnant. And I am not pregnant. Despite the Gut. That I wear around me that looks like I'm wearing. Excuse me, an Eddie Murphy clump fat suit. Okay. Eddie Murphy clump fat suit. Okay. This is all pure bucket of chicken. So I could take all the Tylenol. Okay. I can take. And I said. Excuse me. I said, the women take the Tylenol. You'll be better at math. The autism is better at math. Okay. I'm going to tell you, Brady, take some Tylenol, okay? Maybe you could do the 87%. They said my mom a lot of Tylenol. There is a rumor that my mom was a Tylenol. A lot of Tylenol. Okay. She loves trains. She freebased Tylenol. She can't make eye contact. All right, David's on the phone because our phones are broken. He's the only one because the phone's actually shut off. If it works, he'll be the only one that we can do. Yeah, technology. It works great. They were all ringing, then the phone shut down. That's you, Jonathan. We know that when the phones stop working, it's because too many people have called in. They shut our phone lines down. I appreciate it. Yeah. That's a beautiful thing. David, are you there? Beautiful thing. I'm here. All right, David, pick a square that isn't Brady Tripp or the secret square. And if you get it right, you get tickets. If you don't, you're out. Anthony Bourdain. There it is. That's the one I wanted to. Nice job, Anthony. There you go. All right, over to Anthony there. How you doing? I couldn't be better. All right. A wonderful day and a beautiful day. Just having a drink right now. A scotch. It's a good start. It's a great start to a great delay. 10am you got time. And I've had 14 cigarettes. I'm ready to go. All right, question for you here. All natural diamonds are at least 525 million years old. True or false? I would say the pressure of life that presents us all every day. That turns the coal into the magnificent rock, the diamond that lives inside us all. Aladdin, Prince Ali was once called it as. Well, a tale as old as time. I would say that is false. Wow, okay, you're saying false here. Now, David, do you agree or disagree with false? Oh, gee, that's my fault. David, do you agree or disagree with false? I agree it's false. Correct. Okay, that's it. That's all he needed to do. Congratulations. The phones rang again and then cut off. Everybody again. So before this thing shuts down, David, Brad will get your information. You're going to win prizes. That's how it works. See how easy it is to just promote how great Jonathan Kite is and what he'll be doing at Desert Ridge Impression this weekend. Love every second of it. Every time. So silly. Yeah. If the phones work, this would have been a lot better. This should have been. I've been here before when the phones are working. Yeah, it's great. But there, you know, what will happen is if we start picking it up, it'll drop everybody else because we've spent a ton of money on Internet phones. How much? These phones, they've had a lot of Tylenol. Our phones are not great at communicating. Okay. Not great at all. Socially awkward phones. Socially awkward, yeah. It's tough. It rings. They love trains, though. They love it. They love it all, you know, Biden. These are. These phones are from the Biden administration. Sleepy Joe. These phones are asleep. Wake up, phones. America's calling. Who's your new favorite one? Well, I said I was bringing out. I was trying to bring out Mickey Rourke because I was trying to do. We were. Alex and I were talking about this in the way over. I will attempt anybody new, like if there's something. But I'm doing a little bit more Vince Vaughn right now. Okay. Because he's back with that known as show and then Bad Monkey. Yeah. And. And. But I'm trying to do sort of whoever's in the. In the news. Hey, my man. I. I'm trying to bring the energy right now, you know, I'm saying, like, it's kind of early in the day right now for Vinny boy. I just went to bed, but I just had a little. You know what I'm saying? And I'm up. Daddy's up right now. Daddy's up right now. You know, but. But you know, I tried. Or RFK Jr. You know. Yeah, yeah, he's fun. Yeah. I said I look like if RFK Jr saw me on the street, he'd be like, all right, I guess I'll get the vaccine. What was the thing you said about he had a vibrator? Yeah. He always sounds like he's deep throating a vibrator. His campaign slogan was I'm coming. I'm coming. People suck on skull. That guy's downing aquarium gravel. Who was his running mate? R2D2.

Your stomach hurts. That's how Marisha Tomei felt in that scene. And I was banging her in the butt. And now the wrestler. That's an hour and a half of hurt. Mickey Rourke. It's just so bitter to any other actor. Well, no, that's what it is. I said, will you hear him talk about any other actor? I was saying this off air where, like, they brought up Tom Cruise and he was just like. Pierce was like, oh, aren't you excited that Tom Cruise is like, top Gun is bringing back the movie industry. And he was like, tom Cruise is not a great actor. You're just like, what? Like, he would just. So I'm trying to do a bit that I'm working on for TikTok that called Cooking with Mickey, where he. He's always on the phone about to start, and then he goes, like. He goes. So the story was, you know, I said, I don't want the part. So they gave it to Meryl Streep. But then they made Sophie's Choice. He turned everything down. You know what I'm saying? He had a shot at everything. Yeah, he had a shot at literally everything. And then he's like, yeah. He goes. So, you know, I had a pretty deep voice, but I said, I don't know anything about soccer. Give it to Morgan Freeman. So they made Invictus. Wait, you were going to play Nelson Mandela? He goes, yeah, Elsa Mandela. I was gonna do the accent and everything. Give milk to pen. Yeah. So just like. It's like anything. I was supposed to be Alfalfa. I was supposed to be Buckwheat.
