Transcript

[John Holmberg]

You're listening to the HMS Podcast, brought to you by MMP Guns.com, your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories. You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil. Sitting right here.

[Brett]

Come on.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. I screwed something up. I got curious. That's all that matters. Curiosity killed the cat and evidently kills your technology. I just realized, Mike. Yeah, we gotta call. We'll get our computer expert up here. I just realized that, I don't know, I'm not well versed in the control letter. I hit Control P to print on my computer. Then I'm like, I wonder what all the other letters do. Then I didn't look first. And you were the problem, Brett. You encouraged me to just try. In fact, your words were, what's the worst that can happen, right? Well, I hit control something or other. I remember which letter it was. And now I can't use the mouse. Why would that turn off. There you go. That's it. Here's all your shortcuts right here. That should never be something. Oh, I fixed it. You said to restart. Okay, there's all your shortcuts. Control C is copy. I knew that when I never need it. Geez, there's a lot. Yeah, I only use Control P. And I'm like, there's gotta be. And Brett just told me this little Windows button. I never even seen that one. I don't even know what that's for. By the way, those of you keeping up, Doug Hopkins keeps giving me updates on the. On the Suns in China preseason game. Let me tell you right now, suns are up 5 in overtime with 10 seconds left. Amazing. All those Chinamen are getting a eye full of American basketball this morning. And I'm sure Kevin Ray is thrilled that this game went to overtime. So he could have gotten up at three in the morning to prep for this, broadcast the game and have it go till 8:30. He probably had plans with his kids to go get breakfast at 8. Hell, he could have walked away from this preseason game at fourth quarter. I gotta go, Eddie. Dinner with the kids. Son's gonna win the game. Son's gonna win the game. Don't worry about that. He's almost Charles Barkley. Eddie Johnson.

[Brett]

Kevin.

[John Holmberg]

Son's gonna win the game. It's if you gave. If you hit Charles Barkley with an elephant tranquilizer, it's Eddie Johnson. Tell you right now, Sun's gonna win this game. I don't know eddie. They're down 35. Sun's gonna win the game. They're gonna get a shot at the end, and they're gonna win the game. K. Right? Smooth shooter. Says so. Must be a thing. They gonna win. Kevin told me. He said, I had a problem with Eddie for a while, watching other games while he would have his phone and an iPad and he's watching football or something else. I have to give him a little elbow, like some. Something great just happened. That was great. And then he'd just go right back to being normal. We got something on the screen, too. Oh, my God. Well, yeah, but imagine Brady brought his own screens. Like, hey, we got to take those away from you for a little bit.

[Brett]

Your what?

[John Holmberg]

Your ability to multitask is not good. I know breastfeeding is exciting, but you can't do that all day. Before we get to the Brady Report, James Strong has emailed in and said, I need advice for a ticket. At the Van Buren last night, my friend paid for my parking, and I came out to see the notice on my truck after the concert. Was never handed the notice it was paid for. It's not even my license plate number. Do I ignore it or dispute it as it says on the bottom? Well, if it's not your license plate number, that means somebody took it off their car and put it on yours.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

So I would have dismissed that. I don't know. I might go down just in case something weird happens and show it to the court and go, hey, this. Somebody just put this on my car. It's not my license. It's not my car. So here and then. But I think you're safe to ignore it. But it would. It wouldn't be a bad idea to just take it, because since you're so obviously innocent here, you'd be doing that.

[Brett]

The person who has the ticket belongs to.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Kind of a favor in a way. Either way, I guess they're turning the ticket, then they can say, oh, the car.

[John Holmberg]

I guess that's true. Because in the city would be like, oh, the guy we gave it to. Well. Or they'd say, contact you, put it on somebody else. But you can't prove that. So the whole thing gets dismissed.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You're not on the line. You know what? I think that's the right thing to do. I might ignore it, but I also just might take the few minutes. Here's what I would do. I don't know where you take it, though. The court.

[Brett]

Yeah. If there's no one in the, you know, Booth on the way out.

[John Holmberg]

Because sometimes it's a booth, sometimes it's not. They do a lot of paid prepaid parking stuff downtown. There's no booth. You go online, you pay, and you get a spot assigned, and you go to that. And it's usually a pretty way the.

[Brett]

Guy is gonna get something, even the guy that got the ticket, because it's a triple hit form or whatever. They still have it on record.

[John Holmberg]

But I would go down to wherever you go to pay to, like, the municipality. I don't know what it is. You go down where they tell you the courtroom, courthouse. And if there's a line or something, I just ignore it. If it's a quick bounce in, I.

[Brett]

Think if it's not my license.

[John Holmberg]

And you might just ignore them.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. All right, two options. Both good. Ignore it. Heavy, leaner, probably 56% in favor of just throwing it out. I put another 35, 40% on the idea of going down there and just seeing if the lobby's full. There's too many people there right back to ignore it. But if there's nobody there, you go up to single. This isn't mine. It was on my car. And then the old lady will be like, give me five minutes. And then it'll be like, 18, 20 minutes later, she comes back and says, you can go. Yeah, Brady's right. Brady. Brady consults. Jesus. Ignore it. What does the law know? Screw them.

[Brett]

Oh, this person was dodging it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Yeah. There's somebody who tried to. You know, that's kind of a cool move by the other guy, too. Take the ticket and put it in your car and hope you don't go through the details and pay his fine. Yeah. Anyway, okay, the game's over. The Suns have won, 132 to 127, and they covered the spread. And if you're betting on preseason basketball, you've got a problem. Text Next Step immediately. Yeah. No. No bets on preseason basketball. It's time now for Brady to give you all the news that only he knows after he crumples up all your speeding tickets and just chucks them. And it is brought to you by our [e-mail]. get that shade together. You don't need it today, but when you do, my goodness, it'll make every day feel like a nice little cloudy day, that you can sit outside and enjoy your patio if you've got a space in your backyard you'd love to use more, but there's too much glare, too much sun, and anything else they'll make it look great and they'll get rid of all of that glorious, glorious sun. They'll put that shade on it. It's like what man's been trying to do since the beginning of time. Blot out the sun, see? Montgomery Burn style. So if you want to do itAllPro Shade.com is the place to get it done. And get it done right head there right now. Brady report.

[Brett]

Good Friday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello, world. We've made it.

[John Holmberg]

Hi.

[Brett]

Happy World Egg Day.

[John Holmberg]

Cool. Eggs are great. It's the perfect food.

[Brett]

The International egg Commission started 1996, so it's the 30th year it's been celebrated.

[John Holmberg]

Prior to that, we didn't have a commission on eggs. They were just running rows.

[Brett]

Happy World Egg Day.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's what the commission was started. They started just to get a day together for eggs.

[Brett]

It put the commission together. Hey, let's have a celebrate.

[John Holmberg]

What the world is clamoring for is egg day. And here we are 30 years later. It's the first time hearing of it.

[Brett]

84% of Americans like or love eggs, according to a recent poll.

[John Holmberg]

How do you get your eggs, Brett? I'm sunny side. Your sunnyside. Yeah, Brady. Over easy, super gooey, sloppy.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I like beyond the yolk. Like, do you like them a little bit snotty?

[Brett]

I'm okay if it comes back and it's over medium.

[John Holmberg]

Oh.

[Brett]

But most of the time, full yolk.

[John Holmberg]

I'm rare. I'm rare with eggs too. Sonic side. What I mean, like, I'll crack them out of the shell and just gulp. What are you, rocky? It's. It's delicious and it cuts out all that cooking. You get your food immediately. It comes right out of the little shell.

[Brett]

Ketchup on eggs?

[John Holmberg]

No, not a fan.

[Brett]

A third of us are on board with that. It says 32.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they're very wrong. I like eggs to be eggs. Yeah, I don't need like all that extra on them. They're good by themselves.

[Brett]

What about deviled eggs?

[John Holmberg]

I like deviled eggs. I don't like when they over mayo though, or they put whatever that goo is. I like to take over easy eggs and scoop them up from underneath and keep the oak intact. Put the whole thing in my mouth and push my tongue up on it and pop it like a zit in my mouth.

[Brett]

Nice.

[John Holmberg]

It's good. Try it. I'm not kidding. You'll love it. I eat like six eggs and I. The plate goes away dead clean. Looks like dogs licked it because I never Break the yolk. I break it in my mouth like a male hooker.

[Brett]

Gotta have the toast and sop that stuff up.

[John Holmberg]

No, I'm not a hillbilly. I. I chug it like somebody shot a load in my throat. So you're not a hillbilly, but 93. 3. Let's have eggs. Oh, there you go. That's what it sounds like. John's eating eggs again. And it's a skill, by the way, to take a fork quick, slide it under the whole egg and shove that little thing in there, and it's quivering around like the bottom of a catfish. And then you got to get it just right on top of your tongue. Roof of your mouth, quick push up, and the thing goes in your mouth and you got egg. I think they call that egg in your mouth. I'm not real sure that's mine.

[Brett]

Couple of baseless fun facts.

[John Holmberg]

There's somebody trying that right now, but making a mess.

[Brett]

Nachos are called nachos after their inventor, Ignacio Nacho Anaya, the host of a Mexican restaurant called the Victory Club. One night in 1943, some U.S. army wives came in late, but the chef had already left. So Nacho went into the kitchen, threw something together for him. Essentially nachos as we know them.

[John Holmberg]

No one had ever put cheese on chips before.

[Brett]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

No. Nacho just claims that that. Had the first Mexican refuted it. Yeah, I call it the. The inventor of. Of nacho is a man named Ultimo Hombre. The last man. He was the very first one, the only guy, the first Mexican put cheese on cheese.

[Brett]

And evidently they were the first to eventually just put them on the menu as nachos.

[John Holmberg]

What were they doing with chips before cheese? Just eating them.

[Brett]

Plain salsa.

[John Holmberg]

You invented salsa after cheese after cheese. Ernesto Salsa made those. No way. Yeah, There is no way salsa came before cheese on chips. No way.

[Brett]

Maybe, maybe they were dried out tortillas. He just crumbled them up and threw some cheese on.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they've done that before. There's no way. The Spanish showed up and they're like, you guys haven't put cheese on these yet. Yeah, nobody eats a bag of Tostitos without putting it in the microwave and making that weird gum on top. Morning sickness. 98 KUPD Holmberg's Morning Sickness.

[Brett]

When the A E network launched in 1984, it came on after Nickelodeon signed off for the night, so it was on the same channel. You might have done this one before, but Amtrak started in 1971 and has lost money all 54 years. And it's been in existence.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Survives mainly on a one billion dollar government subsidy.

[John Holmberg]

Joe Biden loved that thing.

[Brett]

He kept alive, wrote it every day.

[John Holmberg]

I was Scranton all the way down to D.C. i was good every day. Then Delaware. I want to build a train over to Hawaii. It's a good idea. I was gonna build a train away. I had that plan. Remember that, Brady?

[Brett]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

That was a big deal. Yeah. Kamala, we're gonna take a train all the way to Hawaii.

[Brett]

I said, because the guys building the.

[John Holmberg]

Tracks, they need Mexicans for that. That's why we let the borders go open. They love swimming and they love building stuff for us. I thought it was double down. That was his plan. You Mexicans like swimming. See, you like building things. See, Train tracks to Hawaii. Symbiosis. Big deal, Brady. Big deal. And girl, smells good.

[Brett]

Serve nachos on the.

[John Holmberg]

No, they wouldn't do that. Nachos. That's a bull. That's a bull story. Ignacio invented him. He just named him. Let's say that he named. Same way that, you know, there was never a discovery of gravity. Somebody just named it. Newton was like, what the hell? How do we stay here? And then he's like, I'm doing a little math. And they go, wow. Then he invented trigonometry. You want to talk about feeling lazy? Look at Kirby later today and just shake your head. Because Newton not only invented. Invented trigonometry and started to invent quantum physics, he kind of figured out not only what gravity is, he named it and then came up with a mathematical equation. Then he turned 25. I mean, think about that.

[Brett]

That's. That's the second one I've heard. Like, Nacho was invented by a guy named Nacho. Right? He just gave it a name. Caesar Salad. A guy Caesar.

[John Holmberg]

And that's Mexico. Yeah, yeah. It was a thing before. There's. What do we call this? Like, it doesn't have a name yet. Name it after me.

[Brett]

Google released a list of the top trending Halloween costumes, and it's dominated by the characters from the movie K Pop Demon Hunters. They've got the entire top five. Other popular one is the chicken jockey from Minecraft movie.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Labubu dolls are huge.

[John Holmberg]

You go, it's that. It's the people are collecting them. They're going nuts. And it's a thing kids are losing minds over. They've been doing it for a while now, and they're going. They're like the same way that kind of Beanie Babies got the way they just Became valuable just for being.

[Brett]

Oh, okay. And the little Boo Boo is now the number one for dogs to put them on. Dogs.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, man. To have the Labuba costume. Okay. Yeah. The Boo Boo is gone bananas. And you go online and try to buy Labubus, and there's chances, like you get four or five hundred bucks charged for a stinking Labubu. They're everywhere.

[Brett]

Stupid.

[John Holmberg]

They're hard to get. Well, all those things are stupid, but it's, you know, every generation has a thing, so.

[Brett]

So now we're going to have a market crash on Labubu.

[John Holmberg]

Like, ours was the Cabbage Patch Kids. When you had the original sewn Cabbage Patch, those things were going for like a thousand bucks in the 80s.

[Brett]

Beanie Babies.

[John Holmberg]

No, Beanie Babies was a massive one that got crazy. Pokemon. Those weird. What were those? Flip chips. For a little while, people were pogs. Yeah.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

It's just dumb little trends.

[Brett]

Funko Pop.

[John Holmberg]

Things were good for a minute, and they cost your parents a fortune. And then they just sit there and you're like, what the hell did we do here? That was 800 bu for that rainbow Beanie. That was so hard to get. Now they're everywhere.

[Brett]

John, say what you want to about Newton. Dude died a virgin.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he was a nerd. He had a lot of time on his hands. You don't invent gravity unless you're, you know. You know. No woman will touch you. And he talked about him. No woman could relate to him. Back then, they weren't even allowed to educate women. You think a date with Newton was fun for them? Those women barely knew what water was. And he's like, I understand the thermodynamic properties of, like, ah, this guy. I need an idiot.

[Brett]

People online were sharing the strangest rules their parents had growing up. Like, no turning on the lights during thunderstorms.

[John Holmberg]

Really?

[Brett]

Someone said no wearing clothing with faces on them. So no Mickey Mouse shirts or kitty cat shirts either. Plain shirts were okay with no graphics.

[John Holmberg]

Mickey Mouse shirts, I'm guessing.

[Brett]

Mickey Mouse shirts. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You said Mickey Mantle.

[Brett]

I did.

[John Holmberg]

It's like, why would that be a thing? They're often confused, though.

[Brett]

But they could wear a shirt with a soccer ball on it or a pumpkin.

[John Holmberg]

Unless it had eyes.

[Brett]

But what about. Yeah, Jack o' Lantern.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. No.

[Brett]

We had one drink cup by the kitchen sink. If you're thirsty, use that. Drink up. Put it back for the other family members.

[John Holmberg]

You were poor.

[Brett]

They would wash it every few days.

[John Holmberg]

You were wildly poor. You shared bathtubs.

[Brett]

The curtains had to be open. First thing in the morning so the neighbors wouldn't think you were sleeping in.

[John Holmberg]

Well, because he had to keep up appearances. I'm sure Brady's neighborhood had a lot of goddamn business. Well, Brady had that neighborhood.

[Brett]

Someone had opened the curtain.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well. Yeah. You would always have a helper do it. I mean, please.

[Brett]

Yeah. We had to leave the room to fart. And fart was a curse word.

[John Holmberg]

That's one thing. That's totally different. Now kids are just able to cuss all they want in front of their parents. That was big doings when I was.

[Brett]

You didn't do it.

[John Holmberg]

You didn't do it. My rule at home was. No, that was my dad's rule, and I've said it before. No pens or pencils in your pockets. And not because of what you think that the Inkler lead would get on. He thinks they would fall out of your pockets on the couch. And the next time he sat down, it would go in his ass. Can I get a Bic up his ass? He always said that. No, go, follow. And he would tell you every time. We would do it on purpose. Sometimes put a bunch of pens or pencils in our pockets. Don't you sit on this couch with that. What? What? Oh, you got pencils in your back pocket. It'll fall out of your pocket and it'll drive itself right up my ass. What kind of life fear is that? I'm not kidding. Get those out of there. Have you seen this happen before? No, but my friend Dick Dale had that. The guitar player? No, just a guy. Like, his parents love Dick Dale. So anyway, he had friends named Davey Dick and Dick Dale. One town of like 1200 people had two dopiest names kids ever. Yeah, he had that. Had a pencil drive right in his anus. And he died from it. I don't think that's an act. And that didn't happen. You'll see.

[Brett]

This person wasn't allowed to watch anything that depicted a defunct a dysfunctional family.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, wow.

[Brett]

Maybe in case he realized it was them.

[John Holmberg]

My dad's thing, too, was. I used to love this. It was hilarious. It's a pencil in your pocket. You said. You forget you had it. You had a goddamn pencil in your pocket. Keep messing around, buddy. Like what? Keep. Keep. You know, keep it up. Keep what up? You keep screwing around. Like, that one's going in. You're insane.

[Brett]

Person said I wasn't allowed to invite a friend over for a second time until they invited me over to their house. My mom kept track of how many times I invited friends over and demanded they reciprocated.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Before I could invite them over.

[John Holmberg]

That makes sense.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Otherwise you're feeding some strange person's kid and giving them a break from children. It's a. Sleepovers are. What you don't realize is it's babysitting duty. Some family doesn't get their kid for a night. They finally get to have sex and have a nice night with dates. They get to. They get to do terrible things to each other in the kitchen because you. You. You and your. Me and Mike Burkhart were hanging out so Glenn and his wife could go bone each other for the first time in a year and a half. So it was only fair that they took me in every other weekend to have a slumber party and play on Mike's Commodore 64 so my parents could have at each other two. Two times in a row. Parents noticed that. Wait a minute. We took that kid in last week.

[Brett]

And now it's time for some science news.

[John Holmberg]

Brady, do kids still do slumber parties? Does Kirby have a slumber? Every once in a while.

[Brett]

Every once in a while?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, that's right. You had that one where there were boys involved.

[Brett]

He takes him across state lines. Tax.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. Brady will drive you around the country for weeks. But you had the boy sleep over that time.

[Brett]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you did. You told us about that. You said you had the boys coming by and you made everybody stay in different rooms and.

[Brett]

No, that was her birthday party. But they. It didn't. It wasn't a slumber.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, they didn't get out? No, they had to get out. Too much drinking and drugs. Freddie had to move them. You not had a boy sleepover?

[Brett]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, good.

[Brett]

And Halloween related. Related science news. A study prove that large bats sometimes attack and eat birds in mid flight.

[John Holmberg]

Cool.

[Brett]

Researchers in Europe recorded one doing it.

[John Holmberg]

Do we have the video?

[Brett]

Doesn't know. Oh. Oh. Renewable sources like wind and solar now generate more electricity than coal for the first time ever. That's. Globally. We've got the first ever shot of two black holes circling each other.

[John Holmberg]

No, we don't.

[Brett]

In Toledo.

[John Holmberg]

I was going to say, I know they shut down pornhub, but I've seen this. I have seen this several times.

[Brett]

And Starlink satellites are now falling out of the sky at a pace around two per day.

[John Holmberg]

Wow.

[Brett]

I looked into Starlink's Elon Musk. Elon Musk's company. They fired up over 8. There's 8,000 satellites up there.

[John Holmberg]

Each one of those rockets. When they say it's to get rid of satellites. They've got tons of them on there. It's not just one.

[Brett]

They only last five years before they are decommissioned. And they've been doing them since I think 2019, or maybe a little before that. Naked mole rats had a big week. They look like rats, but are hairless and uglier. They live up to 40 years and that's 10 times longer than most rodents. And they rarely get cancer.

[John Holmberg]

And one of them is named Lamar Jackson because if they're ugly and gross, that's exactly what I see when I see him. He's a naked mole rat to me. Holmberg's morning sickness.

[Brett]

The study figured out the specific genes that repair their DNA. Experts say it could lead to new anti aging treatments to help humans live longer. I'm sure Putin's on this.

[John Holmberg]

Sure.

[Brett]

A separate study found naked mole rats have specific jobs within their colony. Some dig, some breed, some spend all day cleaning poop.

[John Holmberg]

Don't look at me like that was a laugh line.

[Brett]

You said poop, you're an adult janitor.

[John Holmberg]

Mole looked at me like. Did you catch that gem of a closer?

[Brett]

That's you dropping your bomb. Poop. That's your science.

[John Holmberg]

Man, that last one. If that was the goal, to get through the naked mole rat story, just to say poop, that face that Brett's making right there says it all. Delete that next time. It's a long way to go. But at the end I get to say poop. Then you eyeballed me. Get it?

[Brett]

A couple in Florida is facing charges after they left their 16 year old son by himself on the side of the interstate. Told him to fend for himself. They only left him some cash and a bag of handguns. Oh, well, you know, a bag of handguns, sure, like a bag.

[John Holmberg]

That's how it works. A duffel of handguns.

[Brett]

Never gone to MO Money pond or MMP Guns and gotten a bag of.

[John Holmberg]

They don't sell them that way, but Brett would give you a bag of handguns in a heartbeat. I'm sure he's dealt with a bag of handguns before.

[Brett]

What do I do with this?

[John Holmberg]

No, he knows what he's doing. It's a delivery.

[Brett]

So the teen got home from school, walked the dog. He came back to his parents frantically packing, saying they were going on a trip either to Guam or Idaho. Tough to drive to Guam. Not according to Biden.

[John Holmberg]

Get a train there, go to either one.

[Brett]

A little while into the drive, they kicked the boy out of the car with the cash and guns, when the police found him, took him home. Where the front door and garage door were left wide open. But no one knows. No one was home. The couple was later found another address in Florida, and they were charged with child neglect and allowing a juvenile to possess a firearm. Sounds like they were running away from something.

[John Holmberg]

The story is incomplete, too. What's wrong with you? The story is they found a kid. Something happened. Is this all the same story? Yeah. The naked mole rat got found with guns.

[Brett]

An 18 year old sibling or an 8 year old sibling.

[John Holmberg]

Why don't they 23andMe.

[Brett]

Were they both on the side of the road? Nope, just the older one. Well, as a parent, you do have those moments where you're like, you want to get rid of the kid?

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's just a toy. They're born. Yeah, that's in your blood.

[Brett]

Road trip.

[John Holmberg]

You were a trip.

[Brett]

And we were getting into a hotel one time in Utah, and Chris was throwing a fit, and so I said, get out.

[John Holmberg]

You kicked him out?

[Brett]

He laughed. No, I kicked him out of the hotel.

[John Holmberg]

Oh.

[Brett]

I put him outside and I shut the door. Like, at least it's like, what did you do? And I'm like, I told him to get out.

[John Holmberg]

Time for us to move. Yeah.

[Brett]

Can we go out the back door?

[John Holmberg]

Got any handguns? Yeah. Give him a bag. Here's a bag. I call Brett. We need a bag of guns. That story didn't have a finish either.

[Brett]

More details.

[John Holmberg]

That's what I'm talking about.

[Brett]

On a special episode of. They're holding off on the details.

[John Holmberg]

They're the worst cliffhangers I've ever heard in my life.

[Brett]

Wait for the followup on.

[John Holmberg]

No, I don't even care about that kid. Some Guamanian boy got found with a bag of money. Parents were nowhere to be found, and something happened. We'll be right back with sports and weather. Dodgers played the Phillies last night. And there was a score more to come later.

[Brett]

One guy hit a home run.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Another guy caught a ball. It's pretty awesome.

[Brett]

According to new research, Americans lost an estimated 15.7 billion to Porsche Pirates last year. Man. All right, that's 241 million stolen packages. The average loss isn't huge. 65 bucks per package, and 85% are under 100 bucks.

[John Holmberg]

It adds up.

[Brett]

Most common, commonly stolen packages. Amazon 72% UPS 31%. Scott says FedEx and USPS are about the same.

[John Holmberg]

Scott Haynes says we should apologize to Brady. We got to give him a break. And I didn't even think about this. That poop line's been going huge for the last few days. He spent a whole week with Kirby, so he just. He forgot where he was holding on to. That changed audiences. And he thought that that's been getting big hit laughs with his last audience of a teen girl. And the r words from Ohio probably got a kick out of it too. And then he came back to society and it's like, oh, yeah, he's got a reset. I'm sorry. That was. Yeah, you had curvy humor going for a while. Poop. Oh, now you're laughing. See, now you're feeding into it. It was the look he gave me. I wish that was on TV or on the radio. You guys could see it and clean their own poop. Big pause. Eyeballs keep down on the thing. And then they just raised up till his head didn't move at all. Did you guys hear that? How come nobody's laughing? I did that in Ohio and the place fell out.

[Brett]

I just have two quick radio videos.

[John Holmberg]

Knock them stuff.

[Brett]

First. First one's this lady that makes a weird sound on her throat. I had listened to it a couple of times because I thought, she's not actually making the sound.

[John Holmberg]

No, that's called talking. They all do it.

[Brett]

Well, it over dubbed the sound that she makes with her mouth.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brett]

Pronouncing Rs.

[John Holmberg]

Huh.

[Brett]

RDR. Or thinks.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I'm not sure I want to play this video.

[Brett]

Rolling. An R. Are we getting into something?

[John Holmberg]

Rolling?

[Brett]

I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

It's a woman just doing something strange with her throat. Science news going, you can't get the. What do you mean? That's what she says. You don't think it's real? Did you watch the video?

[Brett]

Oh, yeah, I watched it. I think it's real. But she said. She opens up. She said, these are ours. What? You'll have to watch.

[John Holmberg]

No, no. That's why you're trying to explain it, making it harder. All right. I think she's just laughing. No, she's not speaking English. She didn't say anything about these are ours. She's just a pig who makes a funny noise when she laughs. You're saying these are ours?

[Brett]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

It was really early when you watched that. Yeah, that one took three days off. I'm gonna take four days off next week. Ah, this is how this lady says ours. Kirby, they're weird over there in Chinatown.

[Brett]

Hey, man, I don't think she's saying us, man.

[John Holmberg]

I'm pretty sure she's just making Noise. No, Chinaman. Make funny sounds. Write that down. Get it in your notes.

[Brett]

Next one's a mountain lion going for a bowl of candy.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my gosh. This is like last Halloween. They left the bowl of candy out. Oh, and then the jack o' lantern that comes to life. Motion detection scares the mountain lion away from the. The Three Musketeers. That's pretty cool. That's a good one.

[Brett]

I like that.

[John Holmberg]

Bad idea. By the way, if you live in mountain lion territory, to leave sweets on the porch.

[Brett]

Heck of a hike to get candy. I can imagine that neighborhood.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, I don't think a lot of kids are going to show up for that, but thanks for decorating and involving yourself.

[Brett]

We'll put it out anyway.

[John Holmberg]

Rough night there in Halloween ville, too. Is that the kids have to jump over mountain lions to get their.

[Brett]

Watch out for the mountain lions.

[John Holmberg]

And as I always remember, there's mountain lions everywhere.

[Brett]

Sure, we know that.

[John Holmberg]

Yikes. My mom wouldn't let me go out if it was cloudy, let alone a mountain lion in the area. All right, Bert's Friday. Go get them. All right. They're not as.

[Brett]

Can you toss that, Bert?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. Jesus. Why'd you yell that? My ears just exploded. All right, go ahead, poop. All right, there is one F bomb in this one. So just when you hear after source, you know the word after source or right around source. So here we go. Just kill the word after source. All right, here we go. The lady's naked butt aimed at the camera. It's kind of a thick ass. I'm gonna let you sniff straight from the fucking. Nope, I missed it. I missed it. I missed it. That's right. Oh, she's farting in the guy's face. And she's not got green hair like her. Algae in the pool.

[Brett]

This is what you deserve.

[John Holmberg]

Her chemicals are off and she's standing on him, too. Oh, God, she is. Her feet are up on his legs. Oh, man. That's how she says ours. That's exactly how that woman says R.

[Brett]

I think he's doing raspberries. He's blowing.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe. Maybe yes. Mountain or B. Hole. Either way. All right, we'll just continue on to this. Here we go. Oh, it's a. Oh, God. It's a African American nun performing oral sex on a black parishioner. And there's a naked lady with her head backed over a toilet and she's throwing up on the lady on the ground. It just doesn't. I don't like that at all. I don't like the puke ones. So she's given one guy a mouth hug, and then when it gags her, she throws up on a friend's face.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

All right.

[Brett]

All right.

[John Holmberg]

Here's a lady birthing a blue thing out of her butt. We don't know what the blue thing is yet, but here it comes. Mario Rubbery.

[Brett]

Oh, no.

[John Holmberg]

Found the blue cube, fell out of her ass. And then like a load of. That's about it. Watered down mayonnaise came out behind that one with this gem. There's another lady birthing something out of her butt. Oh, it's a big silver ball. Oh, not just one. There's two coming out. Oh, she's like a magician. Like when magicians pull eggs out of mouths. Here's the second one. A beautiful mirror, lots of lubricant leaking out. Here's a third. This is something I'd pay to see in Vegas.

[Brett]

Christmas ornaments.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well, they look heavier than that. There's three. And just the goo that four. Are you kidding me? She stacked these. These gigantic. They're about the size of a softball. And each one that if there's a fifth one, I'm gonna get up and clap.

[Brett]

All right. Tapped out.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Four is as far as you need to go with that. I'm impressed at two. That's all we got. We're like, today.

[Brett]

So.

[John Holmberg]

She'S going to win that Crystal Award at the nab. That's. That's. Submit that to Susan, who's asking.

[Brett]

She's a giver.

[John Holmberg]

Susan is asking us for information that we can give to win the Crystal Award for radio. And I think that's one of them we give to the community. Do you think that'll work? That's how they hand the awards out up there in Vegas for the radio stations. And the Crystal Award for most charitable radio station in America is KDKB. What?

[Brett]

John, Bloomberg, Bluetooth with over 10,000.

[John Holmberg]

Here's the winner. Let's. Can I have the award, please? Thank you very much. Here it is. All right, Sam Talon coming in. Yep. All right, beautiful. We'll talk to him next. There goes your Brady report. It's 98.

[Brett]

It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee.

[John Holmberg]

I have heard enough of this.
