Morning sickness. Thank you very much. Miles to nowhere. That's Katie and the Hobbs. We're getting closer to that word. I'll just give it to you now. 7:00am Code word for taking it in the app is green, as in the color green. Green is the word for seven o'. Clock. That'll come up in a couple of minutes. You can get on that thing, hop on the app and start qualifying yourself. And that's it. Your job is done. You qualify and it's done. Let's get right to the rat killing on this. Yesterday we were teasing Toledo for getting A little bit ahead of the game, watching his Mariners go to the World Series. He's already bought tickets for the World Series. I would never buy super bowl or in fact, I've had my team in AFC championship games several times in my life and I have never once said I'm going to get the tickets. Now I would have felt like it was my fault. Well, last night after Toledo bought his tickets and we teased like there's nothing they can do, boy, they got blasted last night. The Mariners got killed at home. And that's fine, you know, you throw a clunker out there. But now I'm sure Toledo's ass is tightening up and hoping that, you know, his Mariners keep going and that he isn't the reason why they jinx. The biggest jinx I've ever seen in my life was Bernie Mac. And he paid for it. When in the seventh inning stretch of the Cubs Marlins National League championship series in 2003, instead of saying root, root, root for the Cubbies or just turning the mic to the crowd like most people do to get the big, the whole Wrigley Field crowd to say Cubbies in unison, Bernie Mac says root, root, root for the champions. And that was the moment we all knew. Oh, there's the black cat. Not meaning him. There was a history with the Cubs. Look, you got. No, no, let me, let me explain. In 1969, the Cubs had a nine game lead over the Mets going into September and a black cat crossed the third baseline and went through their dugout right by Santa. And yeah, in horrible, they lost a nine game lead to that very same Mets team. And the miracle Mets of 69. People don't remember that the Cubs actually came in third place. They fell apart so bad since after The Black Cat. 3rd place. Baseball people are superstitious. The black cat, not Bernie Mac who became the modern day. You know what I mean? Brett, stop laughing. You know I can't say black cat about what? He was an unlucky cat because he was black. I don't know why anymore. See, there you go. I can't fix it. Anyway, when he did that, you knew. Oh boy. And then Bartman happened a couple of inning later and I remember telling my.
John Holberg
Is that the same game?
Brady
Same game. Oh, I didn't realize it was the same. My ex wife was in the house and the Cubs were leading with five outs to go after the Bernie Mac thing, which made me very unsettled. And I remember turning to her when she said the words, oh my God, they're gonna do it And I said, I've been a Cub fan my whole life.
John Holberg
Shut.
Brady
That's what I said. If there's any thing you can't say is it's over. They've got five outs. And then Bartman. Then it was just eight run inning. The Marlins just. You can't jump ahead. Toledo's already done it with this. We're going to the Series, guys. We're up two. Oh, what bad can happen? All of it. All of it. Here's my beef with last night. Former friend of the show. And I say former now because this is just brutal and you should be ashamed yourself. Toledo, not Toledo's wandering in there. It's just a. It's embarrassing. Hi, Richard. That you jumped ahead of the game and you jinxed your own team for last night.
Toledo
To be fair, I never said we're going to the World Series. All I said was you have to.
Brady
Be saying that if you're buying World Series tickets.
Toledo
All I said was there's a chance to buy World Series tickets.
Brady
Were you going to do that if the Mariner. Stop. Stop saying words. Are you going to. Are you going. And never ever in your life have you just bought World Series tickets because they've a. Thank you. Thank you.
Toledo
The Last time was 24 years ago.
Brady
Where I had a chance because the assumption is my Mariners are in and you didn't. 2, 0. You bought those tickets because you were already assuming your Mariners in.
Toledo
No, no.
Brady
Yes.
Toledo
24 years ago I was. I was at the ALCS. Game two. I think it was game two. Maybe it was game.
Brady
And you bought World Series tickets right after. Yeah.
Toledo
Couldn't afford them.
Brady
That's right.
Toledo
Four years later I can afford these. Kinda.
Brady
Yeah. So you jinxed your team because you have a better financial situation. Yeah, you did.
Toledo
We'll see.
Brady
Here's what I'm upset about. And here's where your real jinx lives. And I'll say it right now because he's not in town. And if he was, I'd tell his big, gangly, tall ass the same thing. You Randy Johnson. He was out there last night at Seattle Mariner legend. Randy. Nope. He works for the Diamondbacks. You can't go put the Mariners gear back on and walk out there like, I love this team.
Toledo
And not only that, next year is the 50th year.
Brady
So of. Of what? The Mariners of the M's. And yeah, and I understand being part of the. The greatest players that have ever played there. You forego your spokesman of the Mariners thing when you have.
Brett
Clearly you Would have been out there.
John Holberg
You roll King Felix? No, you don't roll that.
Brady
You've got other guys.
Toledo
Well, they had Jay Buhner out there.
Brady
Buhner's a lifetime Mariner.
Toledo
Rolled out Ichiro.
Brady
Edgar Martinez.
Toledo
Ichiro Bugger Martinez is on the staff now.
Brady
So you then. He's your guy. Yeah. Where's King Felix? He gave you a lot of life in a team that couldn't win.
Toledo
Great.
Brady
You had his jersey on yesterday. You're not wearing your Randy Johnson Mariners jersey. Because I think all Mariners fans know he not only moved on from us and he was great. He moved on and won a World Series for someone else. Yeah, that's when you lose your ties to that. That was. That's Randy pandering for good tickets. That's all he was doing.
Toledo
Wear our Spike owen.
Brady
Spike's a great 80s player. I like Spike.
Toledo
80S player. You can wear Alvin Davis. You can wear Ichiro. You can wear King Felix.
Brady
Can't even wear Ken Griffey Jr. Really, you can.
Toledo
But he came back.
Brady
He's in their ring of honor. As is Randy. But that's the sad thing. That's what the Cardinals would do. How you like them apples? That's something the Cardinals would do. They'd roll out a dude who went on to be great somewhere else as their own. That's a. That's a bush league team move. You take lifers, you know. What is Randy Johnson most remembered for in his career?
Brett
Hitting the bird.
Brady
Well, there's that. What's the second most memorable thing in Randy's career? If you ask Randy, what's the highlight of your career for the Mariners was. No. You're not even going to bring it up. No World. Winning a World Series with the Diamondbacks, living in Arizona. This is his home. He didn't love Seattle. He jinxed you. He totally went out there and like, I'm just gonna play pretend. I love it here. Toby.
Toledo
I'm starting to blame Craig Gas.
Brady
He's there, too.
Toledo
He wasn't in Toronto. He was there last night and he told me he's got tickets to all three games.
Brady
And I'll tell you this, Randy. Randy's blindly going through the motions. And we proved that when Brady and I went to him in that autograph session last year. And he knows Brady well. They slept together and I was in a. He knew me well enough because we hung out a few times and we hadn't been around him for a long time. And we go through the line of the autographs, get up to the thing and I. And I said, I Love your work, Mr. Stinnett. And Brady said, hey, Johnson, you my sister? And he's just signed. He looks up and he looks back to you two yahoos. And then, and then he said, they do something about our radio show. They still let you do a radio show? And then what do you say? Oh, come on. Oh, come on. And then I'm like, what time are you on? I'm like, well, in the morning. It's a morning show. Oh, I'm not doing that. Pay me. Basically.
Brett
That came close because he's had that coffee book that he wanted to.
Brady
Oh, I'm all for having Randy in here, but don't think I'm not going to. Awesome. Yeah, I'm getting all over his ass for wandering up there pretending to be a mariner because he's on the bandwagon. Come on, stop.
Toledo
You notice he's in Brady's room now, too. He's got double ear.
Brady
Oh, he's got hearing hearing AIDS. Well, he's 60. You know, you might not be able to hear very well.
Brett
Sound doesn't travel that high up.
Brady
Yeah, maybe that's it. What's your excuse?
Toledo
Yeah.
Brady
Somewhere between you and Randy is sound exists. So five, five to seven feet.
Brett
I'm too low.
Brady
Yeah, you're under the radar. Like we can talk over you. That's what that means. Anyway, watching Randy Johnson parade is that happy ass around out there is stupid. You don't do that. Ken Griffey. A Rod's not going out there.
Toledo
Well, he wouldn't be invited.
Brady
Hey, Rod would not be invited. Why? Because he went out and got rings in New York. New York. Well, he did. Well, he's not going to walk out Rolex. He would go out there as a Yankee. The Yankees. And. And Randy's a diamondback.
Toledo
Yeah. A Rod isn't going to Texas either.
Brady
No, because he went and succeeded somewhere else. And the Yankees wouldn't have anybody who didn't win championships for them roll out. There's like, isn't he great? He played with us once. That's a Cardinal move. The Cardinals would parade Emmett Smith around as their own.
John Holberg
Is he in the ring of honor yet? Sure, it's next.
Brady
It's coming. Jackasses. Yeah, they'd put Emmett in the ring of honor. All time leading rusher and former Arizona Cardinal.
Toledo
He didn't get the record here, did he?
Brady
Just padded here, I think. Oh, he did get it in New York. And then he did pad Heavily. Heavily padded here. But it wasn't a ton of Yards. It was just a lot of cash.
Toledo
Edwin James, you know, they offered him the ring.
Brady
Edron went to the super bowl here. So if anything, Edron's highlight of his career is as a card.
Toledo
He was on that super bowl team.
Brady
Yeah, he was their running back. Why do I not remember Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald. No, that was a. They were pretty stacked on offense.
Brett
The Cardinals offered Emmett the ring of honor, but Emmett charged too much.
Brady
In order to own my name, you must pay me a monthly fee. Emmett's the king of tariffs. You thought that was Trump's idea. Ask Emmett to do anything. He makes you pay either way. I don't like it. I don't like when bush league franchises do bush league stuff. It's John Holmberg here shailing away from my friends at New Vision Auto Glass. Brady just had his windshield replaced. Toledo just had his windshield replaced. And Brett evidently got jealous because his windshield got cracked on his drive to work the other day. New Vision Auto Glass, they're. They'll fix that ugly busted glass, then give you up to $375 back and you'll get dinner at the world famous Brazilian steakhouse, Rhodesio Grill. Go to new vision auto glass.com, see what you qualify for, then get it fixed. Call 480-210-9090. New Vision Auto Glass, proud sponsor of the Arizona Diamondback. Holmberg's morning sickness. The bungles. If Joe Montana ever played for the bungles and went off to San Francisco. The Cubs, they're a bush league team. They retired Greg Maddox's number.
John Holberg
He's a Brave.
Brady
He's a Brave. He. We won championship. He started with the Cub. One of Cy Young and you wouldn't pay him, right? And then he went to the Braves and his career was flourishing. Then he came back at the end of his career to the Cubs for a little BIT. He was the 5 starter on the 2003 team. He wasn't even. You know. And they retired his number. It was. And they already got his number retired with Fergie Jenkins. They retired it after he. It didn't.
Toledo
It.
Brady
None of it makes sense. It's a bush league move. You put Ichiro's ass out there in the middle of Seattle. By the way, Seattle is almost all Asian. They'd have lost their minds if Ichiro went out there and threw the first pitch. And you didn't even have to get the real Ichiro. They don't know. He goes out there. He's like a. Ladies and gentlemen, Ichiro Suzuki. We're pretty sure you're saying we could throw Kevin. Kevin Berry can go down there and just wave. Ichiro got a little chubby. And then he throws the pitch. And then he goes you theater. And then he walks away. You could have Shohei Ohtani go out and say it's Ichiro Suzuki. Nobody.
John Holberg
Everybody'd be.
Brady
Everybody be too afraid. It doesn't look like him. But I'm not going to say that out loud. I. That might be him. Whitey won't know for sure.
John Holberg
No.
Brady
You could put an Asian woman out there. Go Ichiro Suzuki. Not saying a thing. I'm pretty sure that's a lady. Don't want it because if I'm wrong, I lose my job. Randy Johnson waving to the fans. Remember how I screwed you, Seattle? Yeah. They look at my ring. It's got. It's got the Diamondbacks on it. You can't do that.
John Holberg
Do you wear that out there, too? Why not that World Series ring?
Brady
Why not throw the first pitch out? While he's fingering the town of Seattle. While he's fingering the town of Seattle, he's going, careful, don't get any on my awesome ring from Arizona. Could you take the ring off? Never out there. Just. And you guys bent over for it like a bunch of. Johnson belonged to us for a little bit so we wouldn't pay him. And then he had to go to Houston and then Arizona again.
Toledo
That's the team. The team bringing him back, Right? I know fans had a choice.
Brady
It probably wouldn't bush league. Oh, the fans, they were jerking off. I saw it. They were beating their meat like.
Brett
Is it snowing?
Brady
What could have been. When you don't pay a player and he leaves your franchise, you can't bring him back to the ring of honor if you never won anything with him. Welcome, Seattle legend whom we wouldn't pay. Randy Johnson. What's up, suckers? I told me. I told me. Anyway, I hated it. And that's your true jinx. You proved why your franchise has never been to a World Series. Yesterday with your we've never been there, you know, lap around the track.
Toledo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it. Toledo's an. What's the word?
Brady
I told you already. It's green. With envy of the Toronto Blue Jays, who are going to the World Series now that Toledo jinxed it all. Green. Come on, don't be a dick. I gave it to you early on. This one, too.
John Holberg
It's got Kurt Warner, Cardinal or Ram.
Brady
Reef?
Toledo
Ram, MVP at the super bowl with the Rams.
Brady
Although the Cardinals can parade him around because he got to. He. He took that franchise to places it had never been by himself and almost got one. But deep down, if you ask him, my. He says my Rams a lot. He's got the rings there or a ring. He should have had more. But he's, He's. He's a tweener because the dude did it two times. You know, like, Tom Brady is not a buccaneer, but there's an argument to be made. The dude brought him a Super Bowl. Yeah. So it's like if they paraded him around, that's just a thank you. We know you're a Patriot, but that's a thank you.
Toledo
Well, the year after he retires, they fall off.
Brady
Oh, well, I mean, what were they doing? They had to figure out quarterback. Patriots did, too. But that's the thing. It's like, there's very few guys who have the championship. Robert Horry is one. You don't even know. Lakers, spurs, everywhere he went, he won a championship. But the Suns can't roll. Robert Horry out. They had him, too.
Toledo
Jesus Christ. That's right. I said Jesus, Jew, Bird. You don't believe in things like ghosts or karma, but you believe in luck and jinxes.
Brady
No, no, my man, baseball is loaded with superstition. Has nothing. Has nothing.
Brett
Seven, bro.
Brady
Okay. Thank you, Brady, for indulging the youth. The luck and superstition have nothing to do with ghosts. Ghosts are fake. Superstition is sometimes something that gets in your head and it plays mind games with you. I'm just saying, when you start parading that, when you bring out a guy who couldn't get you to the next level as a celebratory thing, as you try to get to the next level, it enters into the minds of a lot of people. It's like, man, we're celebrating failure here. You don't do it. That's why if I was the Cardinals, I wouldn't. If we're in the, you know, if they go to the NFC championship game and they're like, welcome Kurt Warner. It's like, oh, no. Yeah, we didn't win one with him. We came close. Are we celebrating just being close or are we celebrating winning at all? You bring out Larry Fitzgerald, you bring out your lifers. This guy says, as a 40 plus year Yankee fan, I would never, ever buy World Series tickets before you got some balls as a Mariners fan to jump the gun like that. It's proof that this guy just isn't good with money. That's true. That's why that's why he had full.
Toledo
Refund if they're not there.
Brady
But if the Dodgers aren't, you don't. I can sell them. Yeah, you think you can sell them. You hope. You got those terrible bleachers.
John Holberg
I was just gonna say sell them to Trip, but he's not saying there.
Toledo
Terrible bleacher seats. Yeah, because the World Series games are the first one there will be, you know, poorly attended.
Brady
No, but it's going to be cheaper tickets you're not going to get. Anybody's going to willing to spend a lot of money. We'll see. No, I know for sure. Bleacher seats. We spend an extra 500. We don't sit there. It's like, yeah, let's do it. It's the World Series. You only live once. You might get face value for those when the Dodgers play the Blue Jays. We'll see. I'm just giving you guff because you jumped ahead of it.
Toledo
You're right, Homburg. I don't see the suns rolling out. Robert Ori.
Brady
That's what I said already.
Toledo
You did?
Brady
Yeah. He's so busy jinxing his team, he didn't hear me.
Toledo
Well, the Dexter didn't hear you either, apparently.
Brady
Yeah, the sun said Robert Ori after he won with the Rockets, comes to the Suns, doesn't do anything here but cause fights. They trade him away.
John Holberg
Sunset Shaq, too.
Brady
Well, that doesn't.
John Holberg
Well, the sun's ever paraded Shaq around, it's Phoenix. They probably would. They celebrated their loss to the Bulls.
Brady
For a whole season. He's right.
John Holberg
Yeah.
Brady
And who's the only one in the room going, what are we doing here? Everybody was all, ah, it's a great year. No, it was the Bulls year. You guys lost. You guys celebrated their losses.
Toledo
They do a parade.
Brady
The whole season was the. Was the 30th anniversary of the Suns championship run, which they lost in six games. And they were having throwbacks to the old court in 93. And I'm like, what are we celebrating here? Are we thinking they should have had.
John Holberg
John Paxton out there?
Brady
Yeah. Bring out the champions. Here's former son Oliver Miller's like, yeah, he was one of the losers on the team that lost to the Bulls. Stop it. I don't think Utah celebrates their 97 loss. And they've nothing to cheer for either. But you could bring Carl and Stockton back. And even though Carl was a Laker for a little bit, he's a Jazz, right? Carl Malone, Utah Jazz. That's all he says to people.
Brett
Hi.
Brady
How many in your party. Carl Malone, Utah Jazz. Okay. Are there any other people joining you? The Malones. I'll just do a head count myself. Thanks, John Stock, and join us later. Okay. Thank you, Carl. Carl Malone. We heard you. Utah Jail. Here's the thing. You want some nightmare fuel? I've got it. And I have it in video form. A friend of a friend of a friend sent me a thing and said this lady he works with has a Tesla. And you know that people have been abusing Teslas and stuff lately.
Toledo
Still.
Brady
Well, it's kind of died off, but little do we know what's going on. If it wasn't vandalizing or, like, using the hyper mode. Shut up. I'll tell you, the cameras are all over. Guy walks by her Tesla and she doesn't catch it for like a couple days after, walks by her Tesla with a spray bottle, Pulls it out of his pocket and sprays it on the handle, Puts it back in his pocket, walks away. And she sees it like, a day later. She shows it to some people and what do you think this is? Everyone's reaction's the same. Oh, that's poison. Like, we're moving on from just burning them up or doing something stupid. And then you wonder, is this. Because I showed it to a cop friend, and he's like, first thought some sort of a substance. It's either poison, or if it gets in her system or on her blood, it'll knock her out. And then he'll just follow the car. You know, she goes home. He waits 25 minutes, he knows she's asleep. And since the Bill Cosby, he goes, those are my first thoughts. Could also just be urine. Weird little vandal doing baby stuff. But. And then I. And then the cop told me something. He's like, you know, we have to worry about that. We work in a restaurant. Does he. You know how many people have these little moments in their life where it's so easy spray bottling our cars if.
Brett
They have Maguire's protected car spray.
Brady
He's not helping out with just that little section of your car and trying to put it. Oh, that looks like that might be a. The sun might be getting that a little bit. I'm gonna help him out. It was just. I have the video to. It's. It's all over the handle. And then he walks. And then you wonder, is this somebody doing that to multiple cars? And just the Tesla caught him and is there some sort of a thing going on? That is horrifying to think that you.
Brett
Never think about ever yeah, everything.
Brady
And plus, if somebody's got it out for you, Holmberg's morning sickness, you know, my Jeep, people know, is parked in the same spot every day. And whatever, you go out and you just hit that handle with something. Fentanyl, for God's sakes, that gets in your bloodstream can screw you up if there's somebody wanting to do terrible thing to you. And so I looked at this, I'm like, is this new? And my cop buddy said, actually, no. And I'm like, oh, come on. He goes, yeah, it's not. It's not new. And I wished it was, but it's. It's something that's been going on for a little bit. It is relatively new. But he's like, yeah, we've seen this a few times. And one of them was in a city overseas. It was Europe. A dude was doing that and raping chicks. It was. It was. They were. They'd get it on there and then he'd follow him home and he'd wait and they'd like, stagger out.
John Holberg
It's like some kind of roofy type.
Brady
Some sort of weird substance that gets on your skin and makes you high, makes you susceptible. I don't know that you pass out. But he's like, yeah, that was a problem. In Europe, a guy was putting substances on things of girls, cars. They'd touch it, they'd get in the car. If it worked, he'd notice it when they, you know, they'd weave a little. They'd get into their. And he'd sit and watch them and wait a few minutes and then go in the house. So it's. Somebody's watching you is basically what he said, is that. Or it's just some lunatic with a bottle of pee being a jerk. But you gotta start worrying about that crap. That needs to be a psa. Always have little bleach wipes in your car. Wipe your hands off as you're sitting in there just in case somebody hates you. Brady. Good thing is you've got a loaner car, right? You rotate cars so often people can't chase you, but for crying out loud. Bad guy with intentions. You don't even have to, like, stand outside and fight anymore. They've got this stuff in it. And the dude, I mean, it was a clear thought out. He's walking by the car and as he's going by, kind of looks over, pulls the thing out, hits the handle and keeps walking. And why hit the handle if you're just going to spray pee on somebody's car, you know, I don't know if it does anything or if you're gonna put like acid on there or whatever. I don't know. But isn't that crazy?
Brett
Yes.
Brady
Yeah. It's chemical warfare, so nightmare fuel for everybody out there. Next time you open the door, just know. Keep your eyes open and don't touch your face and just immediately wipe off everything. Just. Yeah. Everybody needs to become Howard Hughes for a little while while lunatics run the earth. But there's good video of him. And she didn't call the cops because she didn't, you know, she's like, I'm still here. I feel okay. But is this weird or is this me? And she's. She's an older lady, so she was kind of like, is this a. Why would they do this to me? And the Tesla makes you think maybe it was just vandalism. But nothing happened to the car. Maybe it was just a lunatic who shot water on her car. Who knows? But it made me invest in. I'm gonna buy some stock and Clorox bleach wipes. And I'm going to talk about this every day because that. It was horrifying. The video is crazy.
Toledo
Here, look.
Brett
Buy some driving gloves here.
Brady
It's so completely obvious and. Driving gloves. Yeah, be like one of the local weathermen that think that they should drive the driving gloves.
Toledo
And again, this is someone you know.
Brady
It's someone I know. It's someone they know. Do you see that? It isn't. I mean, the dude is a tiny little. It's a tiny little squirt gun. Yeah, he sprays it all over.
Brett
It almost be pepper spray or something.
Brady
But then. But then, you know, then you got to wonder why. Yeah, you'd probably pick that up and watch this. It's really strange to see somebody do this. So just keep your eyes open for that kind of stuff. And Tesla people, knock it off. The Tesla's didn't do anything to you. The person who bought it didn't do anything to you. And also, ladies, be aware, they come up with new ways to be terrible people regularly. That one scared the. That. That's. That's truly coming from a gym or something. I don't know. I don't know what the dude is.
Brett
I don't know where it looks like it.
Brady
I thought it was a cvs. He's either that or he's homeless. He's just got a bunch of stuff with him. Isn't that nuts? So little public service announcement there. And if you. Especially if you're a woman and you're in the same place all the time. Like, you know, we park in the same spot a lot. You know, I'm announcing how easy it is to get us, but it is. And then they hose off your handle, and the next thing you know, you're in Sodomy Gulch and you wake up like, where's my car? What happened?
Toledo
Damn.
Brady
Crazy, right? Clorox bleach wipes. Two for 99 cents, hopefully at today's CVS. And then when you go back out at CVS, starts carbon that up. Here's another thing. I haven't been to a CVS lately. Anywhere in the city, good, bad or otherwise, where there isn't the most awful vagrant I've ever seen in my life standing outside. I the. Some. Something's going on at drugstores where they feel super cozy. I was at one in that big.
Toledo
Awning that they have.
Brady
I don't know, maybe it was in Scottsdale. North Scottsdale. Like, this is like the nicest cvs. As I pulled in, I walked up and there is like. And it wasn't just an average homeless Joe. This was like if I were to draw the worst one I've ever seen and give it to, like, this. This dude was a mess. Just standing there like this makes me uncomfortable immediately. All these empty cars.
Brett
Gilbert. I noticed that on the.
Brady
Yeah, like, they like drugstores. Well, that's where I saw that dude trying on deodorant in the store and putting them back. And that changed my brain into just only buying the ones that are already pre. Like buy packs of two that are wrapped in that plastic, because I don't think he could get the top off of those. And. But he was applying Old Spice Fiji, which was the one I was using at the time. And I watched him put it back, and I'm like, did I just see all of that? And sure enough, he had enough wherewithal that he must had a job interview or something. He didn't look super clean, but didn't look awful yet. He was bad. And he just tried on some deodorant and put it back. Switching deodorants today, and it was the last two of the Fiji. And then I'm like, well, I'm not doing any of the individual ones ever again. And then I became that lunatic that told the manager at the cvs, can we lock up the deodorant? If we're going to lock up all the acetaminophen, can we lock up the deodorant? Too. Why? What? Did you see that? Dude putting deodorant on. We can't have that. Put a little padlock on the top of it. It works. Lunatics everywhere. You just never know. And I don't want to give lunatics an idea or anything, but Dave Har works here. He's got a Tesla. Just saying, be careful out there, Dave. It's blue, I think, right? And it's the blue one. Be careful. Don't want to start hosing that off. Toledo has a Yaris for those of you who are interested. With your spray bottle.
Brett
Powder blue.
Brady
Powder blue Toyota Yaris, which is. They got a sticker.
Toledo
World Series champions.
Brady
It's got a sticker on the back that's says, mama, wife loves me. I love my wife Anyway. Yeah. Mariners 2025. World Series champs. Get your merch. Go for it, Toledo. I'm gonna order him some merchandise. Seattle Mariners tattoo this week. Get a tattoo. Seattle Mariners, American League champs, 2025. That's pretty safe. No, you won't do that. No, it's cheaper than those tickets you wasted money on.
Toledo
Oh, it is.
Brady
What was the score last night? I turned it when it was like 12 to 2.
Toledo
12 4.
Brady
Okay, well, they got a couple at the end there. It's fun to razz. I wouldn't had you not made that move.
Toledo
I know.
Brady
Oh, boy. Anyway, once you get a Bears championship jersey, they're looking pretty good. Three in a row.
John Holberg
Nope.
Brady
Yep. See, that's smart. That guy gets it all.
Toledo
That's like asking me to get World Series tickets in April.
Brady
You might as well have.
Toledo
If he makes the playoffs, it's a better thing. Plus Super Bowls one game.
Brady
You might as well. You might as well just every year buy World Series tickets. If the end goal is just to make money selling bleacher seats in la. How much do you want for those? Like right now they're 20.
Toledo
Face value.
Brady
Yeah. 2400. How much do you want for your tickets?
Toledo
Yeah, 2500.
Brady
So you just take face on this. I charge 3000 at least to make 500 bucks just for having them.
Toledo
Yeah.
Brady
If anybody wants to buy Toledo's World Series tickets. If you're a Blue Jays fan, you're going to need these.
Toledo
Well, it's the second game in la, so if Toronto wins, it will be game three. If LA wins, it'll be game two.
Brady
I gotcha.
Toledo
Because Toronto has a better record.
Brady
So it's the second game in LA which would be game four.
Toledo
I think the way that it was on the LA website was either way, Second game in la, Whichever one.
Brady
So it would be game two if Seattle wins. Yeah. Game four of Toronto wins because they wouldn't have hope.
Toledo
Yeah. Game. Yeah, game four.
Brady
Either way, you can buy Toledo's tickets now. D toledo98kupd.com make an offer. Reverse the jinx. The word is green. It's in your promo code for 7:00am Brett, what do you got on the big board of musical treats, my friend?
John Holberg
All right, Wake Up Song brought to you by, of course, Action Ride Shop. It's going to be in the 80s this weekend, so now's the time to get up on the trails. And it was 59 this morning. I know. I grabbed the flight. I think it was 49 in this studio when we walked in. But time to get those bikes up and running. And they got the best wrenches in town over there at Action Ride Shop. With two locations right there on Gilbert Road and Southern. Of course, the brand new one on power.
Toledo
You bastard, McDowell.
John Holberg
I think there's only one song on there that we should play.
Brady
Yeah. Kill Switch Engage. My Curse. That's for Toledo. Great suggestion.
John Holberg
Everybody else, thank you for putting those.
Brady
In, but guy said that spray bottle thing on the car happened to me. The cops said it was Crazy Juice and I couldn't control myself saying Mark Sanchez. Yeah, I guess it's been going on for a little while. Gene Simmons just texted and said, somebody sprayed my car too, and that's why I fell asleep. Alec Baldwin is soon to follow with his excuse as to why he smashed into that tree. My Curse by Kill Switch Engage. Because that's what Toledo just did. Terrible, terrible idea. Starting to trade championship stuff around before you're even in it. Oh, it's just bad.
John Holberg
Henry Rugs called into Henry Ruggs.
Brady
Somebody coated my car in Hennessy, so much so the fumes got me drunk. So I started to drive 300 miles an hour and run people over. Caitlyn Jenner just called. She's got hit with Crazy Juice on her car that day. It is weird though. And it. When you see it, you're like, oh, do I have to think about this too? This just opened a whole.
John Holberg
It was just so casual too. It's not like the dude was in there.
Brady
And it begs the question, is he mad at Tesla's or is he doing this all the time and that he forgot the Tesla had cameras?
John Holberg
Yeah, dope.
Brady
It's my curse, everybody. It's Kill switch engage. It's 98K50. Wash your hands. It's out of control now.
