Episode Overview

This morning’s episode delves deeply into the emotional rollercoaster of sports fandom, using Dick Toledo’s heartbreak after his team (the Seattle Mariners) lost in devastating fashion as a springboard for hilarious and heartfelt conversation. The crew reflects on sports superstitions, why men stay loyal to sports even when it’s emotionally punishing, and draw vivid parallels between sports teams and tumultuous relationships. The latter half pivots into a discussion of a polarizing new documentary about neighborhood disputes, before touching on news, pop culture, and the tribulations of Arizona's public schools. The show crackles with the hosts’ signature blend of dark comedy, self-deprecation, and rapid-fire banter.

It is 5:45 this the morning sickness. My name is John. There's Brady, there's Brett. He's here somewhere. But poor guy.

[Brett]

Rough night.

[John Holmberg]

Rough night indeed. Rough night indeed for poor Dick Toledo. The one oh pitch high fly ball. A Rosarino watches it go. The Toronto Blue Jays beat the only team in base that has never been to the World Series in game seven with a three run homer late in the game. Oh my goodness, that was so pathetically hard to watch knowing you've got a friend who is all in but a friend nonetheless that we all admit jinxed his own team a few short days ago. And it's very real in baseball. I'll get people who email and say you don't believe in ghosts. You know that, you know they're not. All things have to be all combined. A bunch of different things can be part of a human structure. That's called nuance. I'm a very new. I'm a renaissance man, really? Sure. I think ghosts are silly. That's a separate argument than believing that sometimes you can lay the juju down on somebody. And I think Toledo did it. We called him on it. Poor Toledo's gotta wander through this building today. Listening to that noise over and over and over in his head. Just constantly hearing that high fly ball, left field arose. Arena watches it go. Oh, it's just awful. And I've been there, but it's, it's miserable.

[Brett]

It was 4:3, final. Yeah, but when it was 3:1. Yeah, I went out like 15 minutes, about 20 minutes.

[John Holmberg]

You missed it.

[Brett]

I'll take the dogs on a walk. I'll come back and catch the last two.

[John Holmberg]

You missed it. Yeah, those were the last two innings, man. If you went on a walk, you knew you were gonna miss something. You just walked right in after it was over. Well, here, if you missed it here, Brady, here's what it sounded like. One pitch high fly ball, left field, a Rosarito. You just got flipped off. You got flipped off for not watching. You were the jinx. It was 3:1. While you were watching, you decided to leave. And then.

[Brett]

Cuz it was halftime of the, of the football.

[John Holmberg]

Football game. He's. He's watching something else. Brady's passive back and forth full display last night. Larry, I don't really care. I just want the boys to have a good time kind of. And then he went out and walked the kids. And Wolf, I watched all three both.

[Brett]

Well, back and forth, two football games. Yeah, go to commercial, check out the ball game.

[John Holmberg]

Got to get that multi view, man. Do you have to. You know, I don't. Oh, you got to get on that. That's a dream. That's a dream come true. Because that way you can hear like you can. Like let's say this is on here in the background. Like you got left field. Great moment though. Great baseball moment. Just have to have him come out there and he gotta reverse this juju or it's going to continue on forever and ever. I mean that was brutal. You. I know, I'm sorry. I have to, I have to just buy. Maria. Hi, Richard. How, how did it. Do you need me to replay that real quick just to see if you could here, let's just see how your reaction is when you hear me. The one, oh, pitch one zero pitch high fly ball. What's going through your mind? You're watching the game. Up three one.

[Brett]

Is Lisa alive?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. How many black eyes does she have? I mean it's domestic awareness on the.

[Toledo]

Couch and I stood Up. And the first thing she says, she goes, don't punch anything.

[John Holmberg]

Sports sucks. We have talked about this. Sports sucks. Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we put ourselves through this? Risking it isn't worth it. We would never risk this kind of emotional trauma with anyone in our life. When I say to Brett after, what would Brady do? Comes in, goes, my wife hasn't blown me in a year.

[Brady]

Cardell.

[John Holmberg]

And Cardell, he wants out. Yeah. He wants to leave immediately. Screw this. I won't tolerate any more emotion. But baseball, football, basketball, she really loves me. Yeah. It's just. It's this constant depression, these highs and lows. It's a bipolar girlfriend. And you won't leave her. Like, you're so incredible. It's the most love and loyalty you can feel for anything in your life. And then it does this to you and goes away for ghosts you until next March. It's brutal.

[Toledo]

You see it coming. There's a base open, putting the F on.

[John Holmberg]

Then what, though? The next guy does it.

[Toledo]

Springer. It's the guy that's got nine friggin home runs in the postseason.

[John Holmberg]

George Springer, go ahead. Home runs fire right now. Yeah, he's. Yeah, he is on fire. And then you throw him a meatball. It was, for me, it was hard to watch. And I, you know. You noticed none of us text you last night. We started a new thread of just me and Brady and Brady. No, no. Wasn't to make fun. It was to just to be like, so what do we do when he's gonna kill himself? Like, there's no possible way he's coming to work tomorrow. And just get it out. Just bleed it out. You can't. And now you got those tickets.

[Toledo]

They're already on the marketplace.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. For game four at least. Now maybe it's a closeout game. That would be nice. Or maybe it's just, you know, 1. 1 and the game means nothing. People still buy them, but. Oh, Richard, I was feeling for you last night in a huge way. And it just made me question why we do this to ourselves. Why?

[Toledo]

I know, because I'm sitting there looking at. Alex is there too. And Alex is finally, like, he's come around. Like he was all in on the. On the Mariners this year, too.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, boy.

[Toledo]

And I'm like, dude, this is you. You haven't suffered, like, get it. I get it. I appreciate you on the bandwagon. But let's see if you're there in a year. I don't recommend this.

[John Holmberg]

If in fact, you had a friend let's say Brady's got a new gal, and she seems to be pretty darn fun, especially lately. Like we first met her. You're like, nah, I don't see this going on too long. But as. As you got to know her, this girl is fun. You're like, man, this is good. Brady seems really happy. And then she just absolutely blows everything up, breaks Brady's heart, and disappears for like, five months. Five months from now, February comes around, five months from now, she's back, and he's just as involved and even more excited now that she's. That ain't gonna happen again. And he climbs right back in. As friends, you got through holidays. We will tell you. Good Lord, man, she's crazy. Why are you. Why are you getting back in this? It's gonna be different this time. We got. She went out and got this, and she did one of these. Really?

[Toledo]

Seriously.

[John Holmberg]

She shored up her bullpen. Like, the whole thing comes back to us looking at each other going, I get it. When. We should be doing the exact opposite with sports, we should be doing late.

[Toledo]

March where they look, aw, great.

[John Holmberg]

Look at them. They're awesome. And you're locked in. You're locked in. And it's.

[Brett]

It's the friend that ties up in that relationship keeps going back.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

You get to a point, like, I've given you. I'm washing my hands of this.

[John Holmberg]

Course, relationships aren't nearly as emotional as sports. It's not even close. Women hate hearing this. And men will kind of go, well, we will abandon a human being much faster than we will ever abandon a sports franchise. It is. I mean, that's just a fact. Anybody that treats us, puts us in the position Toledo's in today and just makes us feel horrible, just awful. And for a long time, like, this is. You're going to watch. You're not going to watch the World Series, probably. It's not even something that you're. You'll.

[Toledo]

I'll watch it for show.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Peer in and you'll be like, yeah, I hope they kill the Blue Jays. But then you just lost another team. And then. And then you climb right back in, for starters. With people, we're like, man, she wasn't right. Wasn't treating me good. I didn't want to deal with any more of the emotional swings, the ups and downs. We'll abandon a woman that does anything that makes us feel like this on a regular basis. Toledo's woman has never been a winner, ever.

[Toledo]

Touch the tip four times.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she just Goes off on her own, quietly ghosting you for months at a time, and then comes back and expects you to not only keep paying for her.

[Toledo]

Always calls back in March, but never.

[John Holmberg]

Questioned the thing before.

[Toledo]

I don't know if I can do it this time.

[John Holmberg]

And you go in. That's what you're saying you're gonna.

[Brett]

Oh, I know that's what you're saying Every March.

[John Holmberg]

Men are idiots when it comes to sports. Last night, I'm sitting there thinking, women have this figured out.

[Toledo]

They don't get that involved. I'd rather be where you're at with your. With your baseball team.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah. I'm just chilling.

[Toledo]

There's no.

[Brady]

No expectations.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[Brady]

No expectations. I'm good.

[John Holmberg]

I hate to break it to you. You're exactly where his team's at.

[Toledo]

Oh, I know.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. That's the worst part.

[Brady]

Watching the World Series.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Watching the World Series with White Sox fans, because they're not there either. It's horrible. I can tell you this, that when the Diamondbacks killed that bird and I made that false proclamation to be like, I'll be a fan of the Diamondbacks if they go to the World Series again. And then they did it, and I started to get rid of my Cub stuff, there was something a little bit freeing about me leaving this relationship as heavily invested as I was now. Still, when they were in this thing this year, and I kept, like, going, no, you're not a Cubs fan anymore. And those uniforms would flash in front of me. It was like a great set of cans. I'd see the Cubby uniform, and I would have.

[Brett]

You still got a closet full of it, though.

[John Holmberg]

I've got a closet full of jerseys. I don't have any of my stuff anymore.

[Brett]

But the jerseys.

[John Holmberg]

The jerseys were mine. And it's not even because of that. I. They're. I don't wear any Cubs gear. I have stuff.

[Brett]

Was it tempting at all?

[John Holmberg]

No. Yes. A little. It was at the. And I. And I only caught myself once, pca, sitting there thinking, good players hate him. The good thing is I can't stand Pete Crow Armstrong's face. He looks like Machine Gun Kelly. He drives me insane. And if he was on any other team, I would hate him. And he's on the Cubs, and I hate him. And I'm like, jon, if a therapist would say, you're letting go. This is a healthier place to be, I wouldn't trade it for the world having fandom. But we are. It is too much. It is way too much. And now you've just sat here.

[Toledo]

It is too much because two years prior, we were one game away from the. From the playoffs.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

We fell short by one frigging game. Made it this year.

[John Holmberg]

And I knew. I knew you didn't know. I knew you had. You bought a wedding ring and put a down payment on a dress when she was kind of looking like, you know what?

[Brett]

You booked the venue.

[John Holmberg]

Yes. You booked. The whole thing was set. And she goes, nah, I'm leaving. And now you won't hear from her again for four months.

[Brett]

And you'll be back. And you're like, you know what?

[John Holmberg]

And you got to sell all the stuff you bought and. Yep. And you're going to say. You're not even going to say that. She's never going to give you that. You're just going to go again. You're just going to get in bed with her and like, no, you're never going to go like, hey, home.

[Toledo]

And she's going to be there.

[John Holmberg]

You're never going to have that text like, hey, we need to talk. No, you don't get that chance. They show up in their new uniforms, their new cool hats. She expects you to buy those. And you will alternative jersey. And you will.

[Toledo]

The city.

[Brett]

And there's the city connect and all.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. But never forget Rich. Never forget more. Look at him. The 10 pitch. The 1 pitch, high fly ball. And some dude from Toronto jabbed her in the ass in your house.

[Brett]

So friendly.

[John Holmberg]

And shook your hand and said, yeah, watching it happen. You're watching it happen. And then in the end, you have to shake hands and go, good game. Go get him. I hope you win it all. That's the worst part. You can't kill him. Oh, so sorry, Richard. But it got me thinking about sports fandom and what it does to us, and it's probably healthy in some regards.

[Toledo]

You know, I'll be honest. I thought you were going overboard when you said you were done with the Cubs after they won. I'm like, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? And now, like, I'm not even there. I didn't even get what you got.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

And I'm. And I'm like, what am I doing?

[John Holmberg]

You're feeling that now. March rolls around. Trust me. Cubs were in the National League championship series in 2015. And you're like, you're ahead of schedule. That's pretty good. Like, we lost badly. And we're like, that's the Mets. Just a guy named Daniel Murphy just tore the brakes off the Cubs and It's like. Well, it's pretty good, though.

[Brett]

Still.

[John Holmberg]

It's depressing. But, you know, we weren't even supposed to be there. Mariners fans already start making. Excuse me. Yeah, she took that big crank in my house. But look, I mean, I wasn't even supposed to be there. So she, you know, this other guy, he's pretty great. It was his year. Like, oh, we would abandon a woman that made us feel the way we feel about our sports.

[Toledo]

And the worst part is we're more critical of this woman than anybody else in the world.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, we tear apart and we're still there. But. But when I say to you back in September, what's going on with your Mariners? Awesome. Right now, man. Oh, it's like Tripp came in, he.

[Toledo]

Goes, are the Mariners gonna make the playoffs? And I'm like, hey, hey, hey.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Yeah. You don't want to jinx that, do you? You dumbass.

[Brady]

And what happened?

[John Holmberg]

And you know, you got to deal with.

[Toledo]

Oh, I know.

[John Holmberg]

Old snow capped mountain down the hall is coming in here.

[Toledo]

He's gonna win it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. He's gonna have a dodge Pug again.

[Toledo]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

My girl treats me great. I got tickets to the front row in the family section. Cause I'm friends with Dave. Oh, Dave Roberts, manager. Do you know the owner of the Mariners? Oh, yeah. Or the Blue Jays, who are actually in the World Series? He's gonna skip today. Oh, yeah.

[Toledo]

Bouncing a step we haven't seen.

[John Holmberg]

It's gonna. But would have been worse had you gone to the World Series and then the Dodgers beat the target.

[Toledo]

I don't know. Because I fully expected him to get waxed by the Dodgers if they made it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

Because they. They showed in the. In the NLC or the ALCs who they were. And they don't have the bench to hang.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. That's why they're not in the World Series.

[Toledo]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

And it just. It started with. With this the one oh pitch. The one oh pitch oh. There it goes again. Sorry. I'm rubbing it in a little bit because it's funny, but I say dump that bitch. You can't do it. You can't do it.

[Toledo]

I agree.

[Brett]

I agree.

[John Holmberg]

Good solid advice is why do you do this to yourself?

[Toledo]

Because now free agency is going to open up about. And there's going to be excitement because there's going to be a new ring on the bench.

[John Holmberg]

You'll end up with Kyle Schwarber or something, and your whole world again. She just comes back with breast implants.

[Toledo]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

And a Mommy makeover. And you're gonna be like, this is different.

[Toledo]

And a bbl.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And then the next thing, and then you go through all this and, you know, Woo busts his arm and Kirby hurts himself, and you got injuries now, and you got to blame that. I'm sorry for you. I'm so sorry for you. I feel bad for Richard. I wish the word for 6am this morning was devastation or whore, but it's not. Brett does have it easy right now. But guess what. Guess who's coming back into Brett's life a little bit. The bears.

[Toledo]

And he knows the bears. He'd be out there.

[John Holmberg]

She, for the first time ever, just reached over and unzipped Brett's pants.

[Brett]

Was that just four in a row?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Brett looked at her like, where's this years? What are you doing? I don't know. I just thought maybe it'd be fun to unzip your pants a little bit. Oh, my God. Are we gonna. I don't know, slow down?

[Toledo]

We're having fun, right?

[John Holmberg]

We're just gonna.

[Brady]

No, no. We're on this week.

[John Holmberg]

She's telling jokes. She's funny. And Brett's like, this is the reason I liked her. She's back.

[Toledo]

You guys don't understand.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Yeah. And we've all been like, why? And why would you ever do this to him, dude? You don't know, like, right now. You just don't know her. You don't know her. She's different at home. We are idiots. Idiots. I've got a team that constantly takes you to the edge and then just caps it off and leaves. Are you about to. I'm. Oh. Oh, yeah. I'm about.

[Brett]

All right.

[John Holmberg]

I'm gonna go home now, and it's going to be ugly because, like, right before you're. You're going to bust, she just starts batting it around for a little while and then punches you in the balls and walks out in the playoffs. Like, what just happened? How did we lose a playoff game? 48 to 13. We were pretty good this year. Ow. And then she leaves. You didn't even finish. I did. I'm done. Oh, Toledo next year. Yeah, Toledo's just getting out. She just started biting it after she got him back into the trust tree. I mean, this was an edging sensation. Just edges, coronas, tips, balls, you know, maybe even back door a little bit with that finger thing. That's pretty nice. And then right before she just bites down, starts chewing on it like beef jerky. Holmberg's morning sickness. Holmberg's morning sickness. It's John Holmberg here from the morning sickness. And it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of My Home Group and Doug Hopkins dot com. Sometimes Doug Hopkins can be a savior for people in bad situations. Doug's there to help and the process will go fast. Cash offer for your home as is, no matter the circumstances and a straight offer, the deal's done.

[Toledo]

That exactly that.

[John Holmberg]

That and all those people in Seattle had to sit there. And the best part, I opened up T mobile. The best part was, man, you didn't probably watch this. Is that on? The Seahawks were playing at home last night while this was going on. And they came back from commercial.

[Toledo]

Yeah, I saw it.

[John Holmberg]

They just announced to the crowd that old place was a morgue for about eight minutes of the Seattle Seahawks. Just, just told the crowd that the Blue Jays won it all. And you get a pin drop in.

[Toledo]

This place and like, oh, they panned the crowd. Everybody's watching on their phones.

[John Holmberg]

But he was miserable. Anyway, I don't know why we do it. So ladies, you win, you win that battle in a big way. Because I don't think ladies have actually put all of their heart and soul into people. Their emotions are for dumb, for people. And that doesn't make sense at all. Not really at all. I don't think anyway the world.

[Brett]

Imagine if they had that sports drive. They'd kill everyone on top of what.

[John Holmberg]

They'Re already bringing with menopause. Plus this, the psychosis.

[Brett]

This is why we don't want them.

[John Holmberg]

This is why you go down to title nine and you see, look at those lesbians. And they just look like us. They look like a bunch of middle aged men frustrated with the world. Yeah, you can't blame them at all. I mean, they're just like, I got into sports and chicks and it's just killing me. It's killing me. Yeah, they, they tried to be as much like us as possible. And the real good ones cut their hair like Toledo's right now. They all look like Kurt Warner without a beard. And they're just sitting at a bar just going, when I do this to myself. And they're the same as us. Us and lesbians are the same. One more, Mick. Yeah, just one more. I don't know what just Happened. But one more. I mean, I don't know if they get that kind of vibe off of the Mercury losing. I don't know if there's. I don't know if any of them go home and like, I just slept. Because it's a.

[Brett]

It's from a different. It's from another team.

[John Holmberg]

It's another sport. It has to be because it's a 30 game series or season and you can't even get that attached thing.

[Toledo]

They play 30 games and then seven in the final.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

You play a quarter of your games.

[John Holmberg]

The whole season is the playoffs. They're morons. They're poorly run. But anyway, today, 6:00am Code word for the. Tap. Yeah, tap. Take it in the app. Sorry, Rich. Entry is the code word for 6am entry. E, N, T, R, Y entry. Like when the Blue Jays entered the Seahawks entry.

[Toledo]

Seahawks.

[John Holmberg]

I'm sorry, I'm moving on to the next part. Oh, Richard. Well, anyway, we all have it. We all have the disease. But if you saw a therapist who didn't know about sports and you told him about this, the first thing you do is, we got to get you out of here. This is not safe. We all talk about mental health being so important these days.

[Toledo]

Oh, we have a new mental health provider on our system. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

In the company we're allowed to, like, they pay for that.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Hot diggity.

[Brady]

Let us know how it is.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, no kidding. Because you're gonna need it more than any of us. Yeah. And then we've got, you know, we always want to make sure everybody's in a good state of mind. And, you know, we put people on pills for being. And then we dive into this crap.

[Toledo]

And does Katrina even take calls from men in like October and probably not.

[John Holmberg]

Like, you're doing it to yourself and I'm not going to waste my time. You know, it's funny and I know Cardinal fans won't understand this. Bears fans won't understand this. Bengals fans won't understand this. You might a little Seahawk fan, when your team does win at all, it's not that euphoric.

[Toledo]

No, it was.

[John Holmberg]

It just feels nice that it's over and you. And you kind of got one. It's like going to sleep. It's like, okay, that's done. Thank God that stress ball has ended in the positive way. Because there's. When they win it all, you're like, okay. When they lose, it's just this massive, you know, fall off a cliff. You're pretty happy when they win, but you almost have to fake to make up for all the pain you went through getting there.

[Toledo]

Football's different than this friggin sport, though.

[John Holmberg]

Baseball is almost all year.

[Toledo]

It's just.

[John Holmberg]

It starts in the end of February. It goes all the way through. And then God forbid, you had no expectations, this was possible and they did it.

[Toledo]

Diamondbacks general manager said, you know, we're good. Winning 54 of our game, right?

[John Holmberg]

He was happy being a 540 team.

[Brett]

What?

[John Holmberg]

Anyway, bring that back. I was thinking about you last night. We started a new text thread without you because we didn't want Suicide Boy in our jokes. So it was pretty. But you jinxed him. And that's one thing you have to take responsibility for. And you know better as a sports fan that around buying World Series tickets to when your team's just up two oh. Like I said to you in the hall when they were up 2 oh. And I jokingly said 2o lead in the ALCS. Nothing can go wrong here. And you went and bought World Series tickets. And I'm like, you did that? I was kidding. And you went out and actually exclamation pointed that thing. Sorry, Rich, but I have to blame you for this. You and all those people who didn't wear their hats backwards properly. Or the guy who forgot shoes on their heads. The guy who forgot to put the quarter in his shoe that morning, which is. He's been doing it since September. All the people that had their superstitions and they didn't do them properly, it's your fault. Because we think that's how close we are to this. We actually think where we sit, which TV we watch, how we're. What we're drinking has some sort of input on the outcome of the game. And I don't know what your superstition at home was.

[Brett]

You can change your underwear now.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Toledo]

I didn't wear anything like the clothes that I wore.

[John Holmberg]

Clothes. Christ, I'm glad they lost.

[Toledo]

Clothes that I wore in the three losses.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

Were gone. Like I made sure and set those aside.

[John Holmberg]

You changed your shirt from the winds.

[Toledo]

The winds. I didn't wear anything. I didn't wear my jersey. I didn't wear anything.

[John Holmberg]

Right, but you wear the exact same thing you had on during the winds. You didn't wear the same outfit. Oh my God. That's superstition 101. I mean, what the hell? The first two games you go up 20 on the road and you changed your clothes. What are you thinking? What is wrong with him? Well, clearly there's another reason you wear the same thing. My friend John Sharp. Nick stands next to me and he's in his Steelers Joe Green jersey. And he goes, when we play the Packers, I have the new throwback jerseys Sunday night, but ever since I've been wearing this, we haven't lost. And I'm like, well, what do you wear on Thursday? Yeah, so they lost and I can change his shirt.

[Toledo]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

So it was like, yeah. Had nothing to do with it, but I got it. I understood that. In fact, I have a. A cheap Steelers necklace that I put on. It's really weird, but Mike Tomlin used to wear it. And I'm like, I gotta get me one of those. And I got. He's his probably had real diamonds. Mine are all fake. And I wear that on game day, and I couldn't find it on Thursday. And so I moped around a little bit Thursday after the game, go, well, we all know why this happened. I up. I can't find that necklace.

[Brett]

So on the first two wins, I understand the third win, you're wearing the same thing. And they lose.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

You'll go back, wear the same thing on the first.

[John Holmberg]

You mix it up. If you. If you go to your superstar. But he didn't. So that's why they lost. Had he worn those clothes, Brady, they would have been up3.0. Then they would have swept.

[Toledo]

I didn't concentrate on the wins. I just concentrated on what I was wearing. On the losses.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

Made sure I didn't wear.

[John Holmberg]

Never went back to the championship gear that you initially got a 20 lead with. And meanwhile, you're online buying merchandise. You might as well been in africa. Seattle Mariners, 2025 world champ shirts. I mean, what were you thinking? Meanwhile, you know one of Bob Ross's cabins with the white snowy roof is going to come in here going, how's everybody else's night? I got plans to go to the World Series.

[Brett]

What are you doing?

[John Holmberg]

Kill you today.

[Brett]

Are you going to set up in his office? Oh, you'll see him painting. Dave?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, painting like his ninth championship trophy. And Dave wants to fly us to Toronto. I don't know if I'm gonna go to that one.

[Brett]

Dave who?

[John Holmberg]

Roberts, manager.

[Toledo]

Maybe I can have chat GPT create maybe a picture of Dave Roberts flipping him off.

[John Holmberg]

Dad, that's just sad. That's the best you got? No. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Don't be so quiet over there, Brett, because she's about to start. I'm gonna pull.

[Brady]

I'm not saying a goddamn thing.

[John Holmberg]

Who do they play this weekend?

[Brady]

Ravens.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, well, the Ravens are in trouble, but that's not the team you want to have Lamar come back on.

[Toledo]

Yeah, Lamar's back.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I'm rooting for the Bears.

[Brady]

He's got nothing else, though.

[John Holmberg]

He doesn't. There's not a lot going on there. Boy, if they beat the Ravens, you guys are going to get a little. Like, if she pulled it out of the zipper.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah. And then she's just flicking it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. She's just licking it. You're not 100% correct yet, but you're like, this is going the right direction. Hi, Brett. Hi, Bears. What are you doing? I don't know. I just thought I'd come in the bedroom and see what you're up to. You've been in here for years. I know.

[Brett]

What?

[John Holmberg]

Why are you doing that?

[Toledo]

In fact, you kind of got fat for a while.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you got fat and dumb. I was dating Eberfluss. Things are different now.

[Brady]

Oh.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's awful. It's awful. Anyway, Rich, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry for your family. I'm sorry for you. You have to. I told you yesterday you'd be at work on Monday because you're not going to any stupid games for the World Series. And that. That was real. And, gosh, I hope you can fill your time with somebody.

[Toledo]

Could have been Seahawks once Saturday.

[John Holmberg]

Seahawks won last night.

[Brett]

Seahawks looks won.

[John Holmberg]

That doesn't matter right now. That was kind of a weird game. I mean, Cooper cup chucking interceptions and weird stuff going on the whole way, but I hate this two Monday Night Football game thing.

[Toledo]

Yeah, I'm not a fan of it either.

[John Holmberg]

Coming through there, huh?

[Brett]

Is that it? Or do we have another one? One more double Monday night?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know.

[Toledo]

This next one is doing.

[John Holmberg]

It says Christopher DeWitt says that's it. Toledo has to go, that lessons have to be learned. People think you should be fired for this. This one says, my God, you're. You're gabbing like a bunch of hurt lesbians, talking about your superstitions in sports. The broads talk about their chakras. That's no different. No, you're right. When it comes to whatever you say, we turn into bitches. No, that. That's my point and my point exactly.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Is that we're normal until then. That's why I said in the middle of that. You know what? You're a typical man. You just don't listen. I said in the middle of it. Women have this figured out, and we don't. We turn into Crazy people, we turn into them. Everything we complain about a woman is too emotional. Highs and lows, we turn into that. With sports, we could learn a lesson from this, boys. We can learn a lesson and go, you know what? I'm a little too rough on her sometimes about her emotional swings, because that's me. I'm still down about last Thursday. I'm still not having good days. I don't start the day well. I got to watch the Mike Tomlin press conference. I don't have to, but I'm going to. I watched the All 22. I watched the entire game tape of the Steelers and Bengals and break down how bad Broderick Jones is. That's how invested I am in this. It's hard for me to hear Megan's day, but I'll spend two hours watching. Well, she starts talking about it, says it, but. Yeah. Yeah, right.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

She's. It's in the air. Right, Right. Oh, I hate her, too. Nice family. Oh, wait, you're right.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

She's the one I like. Oh, that. She's a. Oh, no, no. Yeah. No, that's the one we. The short one. I've known her for eight years. I'm hungry. You don't get anything. I don't care to talk all day. It's the all 22 I have to watch, and I do.

[Brett]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

I break the game down at least once on that game tape thing they provide on the NFL Network or the NFL app. I will go and watch silently because there's no sound on it. Every single play is played twice from two different camera angles that show all 22 positions. And I watch it. I assess it. I wonder why we play this Cover two and Cloud three coverage on clear running downs. I'm like, what are we doing? I know it up and down, and I'm invested, and I don't know why I do that.

[Toledo]

What's your answer to Jamar Chase?

[Brett]

I asked the same thing.

[John Holmberg]

Oh.

[Brett]

About friends. Like, yeah, you.

[John Holmberg]

You've got it figured out, too. Not being passionate about anything is the way to go.

[Brett]

Well, I watch. I watch them. The reaction that they're ruined for the.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

A championship. All that. I'm like, this just isn't worth it. But then I have the thing.

[Toledo]

I mean, I'm quiet, too, with your Ohio State in your national championship.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I.

[Brett]

The national championship's one thing, but the thing that looms every year is you. You. You win them.

[John Holmberg]

But here's the thing.

[Brett]

Your softball games, the first four. Now you've got a couple of Wins. Yeah, but one's lurking.

[Toledo]

You can lose guys and still win.

[Brett]

The.

[John Holmberg]

You've chosen wisely. In a rigged sport where teams are constantly given gifts to be part of the finals, you picked one. That's brilliant. That is brilliant. That is the smartest thing you can do is go, which sports are rigged? Which sports needs six or seven of these teams to constantly be there? And you choose when you're not going to win every year, but you're going to be in it all the time because it's rigged in your.

[Brett]

And I was born into it.

[John Holmberg]

Exactly.

[Brady]

I just watched wwe.

[John Holmberg]

Exactly. But it's genius. People who like WWE cry sometimes. We're dumb.

[Brady]

It's real.

[John Holmberg]

It's real to me. Damn it. I saw one just recently. Where I know it was Cody Rhodes or something. Did something. The whole front row is in tears. I'm like, what the hell? Oh, it was. The Undertaker was out there once. This was a clip from a while ago. And he just looked at the crowd and I think he just announced, it's the last time he's going to do anything. But it's not. It's like kissing. They're done with concerts. And he just started to shake his head and the front row. God damn it, don't go. They were losing it. And I'm like, we're all this way.

[Brady]

Hey, toledo. What's the 6am Word?

[John Holmberg]

Mushroom. It's entry. As in the Blue Jays have booked their entry into the World Series entry. Anyway. Chris DeWitt wanted Toledo fired for this.

[Toledo]

Yeah, that guy. He's never known the love of a sports fan.

[John Holmberg]

It is ridiculous. But yeah, I now go home. Oh, my God. I was on the phone with Becky. Becky is smart. Oh, no. Yeah. No, that's stupid. That was really dumb of her. No, I don't want to turn it off. I can watch and listen at the same time.

[Toledo]

All of our friends were texting Lisa, like not checking in on me, but they were checking in.

[John Holmberg]

Nobody wanted to talk to you.

[Brett]

Right?

[John Holmberg]

Your phone did not beep at all.

[Toledo]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe you and Craig Gas and a couple other Mariner fans.

[Toledo]

Gas, Gas. Text me before the game.

[John Holmberg]

Was he there?

[Toledo]

I don't think he was there.

[John Holmberg]

Oh.

[Toledo]

He said he's got to go to Australia, I think.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Just to get away. Just to get away from this. They won't show the World Series there. Yeah. Yeah. This guy says, I can honestly tell you, John, if my Cowboys ever reach the pinnacle again, many of us true long time Dallas fans will let out such a huge, massive sigh of relief. And then go crazy. But the idiot bandwagon Dallas fans will ruin it for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's what comes with winning, is a bunch of people who just jump on board and then jump off. The smart ones, the ones that I. Now I'm starting to envy, the ones that can abandon. Abandon a bad season instead of absorb.

[Toledo]

It all and then come back in a year or two after they've done everything, revamp the team.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And then they're back in your house, brand new shirt on. Yep. I remember I got upset. Who was the comedian that came in? I remember if it was. Oh, it was Bill Bellamy, and I was in a Steelers shirt. And Bellamy goes, oh, man, you're a Steelers fan. I'm like, yeah. And he goes, this is good. This is good. Who's our quarterback this year? I'm like, I'm not talking to you. If you don't know that you're not. Don't. Don't play like we're out. Just don't. That's stolen valor. Do you know what I've been through to get to this? And you're gonna ask me the quarterback is. That's like me being in a Marine outfit. And then you just go put one on and come in and say, hey, man, what's the last war we were in? It's like, are you kidding me? Like, are you. Get out of here.

[Toledo]

About that Iwo Jima thing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, the Iwo Jima. That's still pictures of us separate, Finn. No, it's Semper fi. What are you doing? Anyway? Entry is the word, and you can win some money on that Toledo. I'm sorry. That's the last we'll hear of it until I start playing that clip again.

[Toledo]

No, no.

[John Holmberg]

I am a little bit. I feel bad because I have been there, and I know the last thing that anybody wants to deal with. Look at him. That one zero pitch. It hurts when I play one zero pitch. But you know what? High fly ball, left field. A Rosa Reina watches it go. You're watching in the. I see you looking at it in the reflection. You're trying not to watch. This is the best way to do. It's like Clockwork Orange. Prior eyes open and watch it until it doesn't hurt anymore.

[Toledo]

And it's in reverse. So it's like.

[John Holmberg]

So he's running from third to first. The reflection of trying to go back in time. You're seeing it go the other way. If I could just reverse it. If you would go. If you could get a time machine and go back in time and do something that makes it so the Mariners go to the World Series. Or how would it be that Alex has a degree in college?

[Toledo]

Oh, God.

[John Holmberg]

See, the fact you're pausing is enough for me to show me where your love really is.

[Brady]

Which one's more likely?

[John Holmberg]

No, no, he's got a. He's got a. He's got a magic thing that can make the Mariners world champions or his son have a master's degree.

[Brady]

I'll take the Mariners.

[John Holmberg]

I would take the Mariners. I mean, I don't even. Not even a Mariners fan, and I'd like to let the Mariners have it. That's like you. You would not. You don't know, probably Mariners. There you go. That's some honesty right there. Yes. That kid will figure it out.

[Brett]

He will.

[Toledo]

He will.

[John Holmberg]

Those are overrated anyway. Who doesn't have a college degree? It doesn't get you anything.

[Toledo]

20, 25 masters.

[Brett]

He's milking you for some more money.

[John Holmberg]

Well, still, though, what if you didn't feel the pinch financially? He just has one. It doesn't mean he's doing anything with it. He just has one. He could disappoint even more with a master's degree, living in your house.

[Toledo]

Bring on the World Series. Come on.

[John Holmberg]

And working over at the Choco Taco or wherever he is. That would. It would piss off even more. Ah. Anyway, let's get a wake up song for poor, sad Toledo and his Mariner nightmare. 585-9-800. We'll scream it together. It's 98 KUP. Wake up. Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station. 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 very much. Miles to nowhere. You can check their video out for make the Rise with the Sun. That's that song right there. They're pretty proud of it, and they made a little video about it, and it's on our Facebook page. I'm sure we're not in it. They didn't ask us to be in it. They just did it and then said, play it.

[Brady]

So there's little pictures of us that pop up in it.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, are there?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I see. They didn't ask our permission. They're getting sued. Says, hey, John, love the show. Seattle was up two. Oh, and then they lost four of the next five. Reminds me of the bad lieutenant betting on the next game that you think would be a lock. Thankfully, I'm not financially involved with that series, I believe I just heard a slap of heads on the executives that realized the World Series will take place between two teams that are not only across country from each other, but are in different countries that far away. Thanks for starting my days with laughter, John. I think baseball won this battle because the last thing they wanted was Seattle to take out. Toronto's a massive city. There's like eight, nine million people in Toronto. It's the Chicago. It's the biggest city in Canada. So as far as ratings go, I don't know how the American ratings will be good because the Dodgers are in it. You get the Canadian dollar in there, anything international is going to be better. So I think Major League Baseball's pretty happy with this because Seattle is not. That's a regional team. Other than Toledo, nobody. And the good thing about Toledo right now is he can wander around in his Mariners gear and not run into any Blue Jays fans at all because they don't exist. They're just none of them. You would be. And I don't want to hear from the one you're not going to. You run no risk of going to Total Wine to drown your sorrows and come and run into a bunch of Blue Jays fans just dancing us. It's not a thing. Now this one says, man, John, you hit it right on the money. I'm way too emotionally attached and invested in sports. I was thinking this past Cardinals loss on Sunday just crushed me and it crushed more than even the Titans collapsed the week before. Then I started to think, why did it hurt more than that? It was a horrible loss. And then I just realized it's week after week of heartbreak adding up. Yeah, that's you've chosen to be a Cardinals fan. This guy Hawk makes a good point. For all you local folks, I'm thrilled the Mariners lost. That means the Diamondbacks won the trade. That's right. Eugenio Suarez, Josh Naylor. They were integral parts of the Mariners making the run and in the end they're watching the World Series just like the Diamondbacks. Robert says. I was married for 16 years. I suspected my wife was having an affair. She was never a big sports fan, but then started watching Cardinals games and come to find out she was seeing a Maryvale Cardinal loving douchebag and ended up getting pregnant by him. Well, she's dating a guy in Maryville. That was inevitable. And then he went and got milk and she never saw him again, I'm guessing.

[Brady]

Anyway, that hellcat was gone.

[John Holmberg]

She ended up leaving me. I was at my lowest for sure. I prayed to the heavens above and said I won't kill myself as long as they stay together. And the Cardinals never win a Super Bowl. Jinx or not, every single loss on a Sunday is a little super mini bowl to myself. True story. Yeah. So every. That's. That's putting a silver lining on a miserable situation. Your wife banging some Cardinal fan, leaves you, has some Maryvale baby with him and you know deep down, every Sunday at their house, they're miserable. And you're happy. That's getting it done. That's a win. I say congratulations. Happy for you. 7:00am we're going to have the code word for the promo code there at 7. It will be peso, P, E, S, O. And I looked it up. $1,000 translated into the Mexican peso is 18,400 pesos. That's insane. That's an incredibly terrible currency Mexico has down there. 1800 pesos is 100 bucks. That's insanity. You gotta figure out how to buy $100 worth of stuff. But a hundred dollars worth of stuff in Mexico is like billion stuff.

[Brett]

500 bucks. You're gonna have 35 pounds of notes, paper.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I mean if you. Jesus. Do they have the Mexican Express card? Because I can't carry all this money around. Mexican. Never leave someone else's home without it. They have an American one. I'm gonna go get one. Do they have the Mexican Express card? I mean, they're American too, technically North American Express card. But I bet you they just use the American Express. Are there Mexican credit cards? I know there are Mexican credit cards.

[Brady]

Of course.

[John Holmberg]

Are there prominent Mexican credit cards?

[Brady]

Of course not.

[John Holmberg]

I'm. This is just dawning on me as I say it is the United. Am I so USA centric that I assume that the world just uses our credit cards?

[Brett]

That.

[John Holmberg]

That they don't have their own Visa? Well, Visa is right.

[Brett]

And MasterCard and American Express.

[John Holmberg]

But is that in Europe? Do they look at that as American cards? And they've got their own we don't know about? I don't. I think we're all too stupid to know.

[Brett]

Bank of Mexico.

[John Holmberg]

Well, sure, that's what I'm saying. But I think cards that are bank backed. But I'm saying, is there a American Express in Canada?

[Brett]

Yeah, that version.

[John Holmberg]

I'm American. That's right. Brett's 100 right about that. Screw those other countries that can't figure out how to be like us. You heard it Lee. Take it over, buddy. I do. I think I'm so kind of American. Ameridom. That I never really thought that they don't have their own credit cards. Isn't that weird? I just assumed that those are the ones that like, even in Africa they probably just adds American Express or Visa or whatever. But that's, that's my American brain thinking that we're just everywhere. We, I mean, we can use our cards there, but weird. You know, China's got its own credit card set. Set up. They probably don't even take American credit cards. But how come their cards don't work here? Because we're American, that's why. God damn it. That's exactly it.

[Brett]

It's all American Express, Visa, MasterCard. Well, I know that just with their bank. I mean, they don't have like in the. I'm looking up like Canadian.

[John Holmberg]

Canada might not, but like your China has to have their own China Express card. They have to have like, not necessarily called that.

[Brett]

Panda Express.

[John Holmberg]

It's a Panda Express car. Bigoted and hilarious. Brett.

[Toledo]

I think the biggest card in Asia is jcb.

[John Holmberg]

What's that? I'm not done with Panda Express yet. That was goddamn funny. Panda Express card. Never leave a home with that idea. Panda Express card. More bamboo. Let's hear a bamboo level instead of platinum. That's great stuff, the Panda Express card. And they think it's awesome. And then we just turned it into, you know, number seven, the orange chicken that tastes a little bit like Lysol. So they have one. You've been over there.

[Toledo]

Jcb.

[Brett]

Yeah, I think.

[John Holmberg]

And that's the big card for them.

[Toledo]

That's. That's huge over there.

[John Holmberg]

I wonder why JCB wouldn't advertise here because, you know, we're all over advertising in Europe and stuff for the American Express, Visa.

[Toledo]

I think I've seen him advertise in Seattle places. Yeah, the big Asian population, they're being.

[John Holmberg]

Used right now for ropes and hang themselves and kick the bucket out from under them. Anyway, that's an ad. Didn't even dawn on me there, but I know they use our. I know our cards are used. The guy. John, did you just asked if they use our cards in other countries? Yeah, Mexican use our cards all the time. That's called identity theft. All right. That's mean. That's not the most used credit card in China's union pay and that's theirs. Yeah, yeah, I can imagine that. God, that makes me just so small minded that I just. It really does. Like, I just thought, oh, our credit cards are going bad.

[Toledo]

But you're also right. I mean, we've got Got three or four here that are major brands worldwide.

[John Holmberg]

Sure, but how come China or. You know, I know China is probably a bad example, but somebody like Europe doesn't have one that they fire over with us all the time. I guess they've got that one Scottish bank, occasionally that'll pop up, but that'll go under.

[Brett]

Yeah, but they'll put that under Visa and Master.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's a bank backed thing with a visa. You know, attachment. Interesting. I don't understand anything outside of this country. And I don't care to, but I'm.

[Brady]

It doesn't matter.

[John Holmberg]

It doesn't matter. And that's exactly right, Brett, because why? Oops, that's the wrong thing. Never mind. Sorry. That's because we're American. You want to use your Mexican Express card, you can take an express train right back to Mexico. Although Panda Express was very funny. It's not welcome here in the state. That's true. The Panda Express. I have only a Panda Express to pay with. That's right, you're Chinese. Of course you're impoverished. That's what we think of you. Everybody's texting over Canadian south park references for Toledo. Watch it, potty. Who are you calling buddy, pal? Oh, this one's Mexico. Who are you calling? Moosehead. Who you call Moosehead PJ Canuck. I don't know what that means, but thank you for that. That's tons of people saying, hey, Toledo. Shut your face. Uncle. The Uncle Effers are out. The Terrence and Philip quotes are coming his way because Canada is in the thing and he's.

[Brady]

Oh, the Ho Chi Minh Express too. They have that. Is that Vietnamese card?

[John Holmberg]

Okay, I was gonna say.

[Brady]

Now they're all coming through.

[John Holmberg]

He's swinging it all.

[Brady]

No, no, no.

[Brett]

That was.

[Brady]

That was thrown to me.

[Brett]

So.

[John Holmberg]

I guess Discover card is a low rent cousin from Europe. I didn't know that. Yeah, I just. That's kind of a weird. That's kind of an odd thing in my brain that I never really put together that of course they take all of our cards. Our cards are valuable. They know. Probably don't even have them. It's like when you say that to people. And I honestly, this was on this show years ago when they said they had an airport in like the airport in Africa. And my brain just went to like some dirt field with a shack and then they showed it on the thing and I'm like, that's a beautiful airport in Africa. And I'm like, well, that's my fault. That's me being indoctrinated into the belief that Africa is just a bunch of starving people running torches out there for.

[Brady]

Landing lights and stuff.

[John Holmberg]

And they're afraid that the plane is from the gods. Like, I have no. Like, because in the gods must be crazy. The plane would go over and they'd praise it because they didn't know what it was. And then a bottle falls out of it and they, you know, it was a gift from God. That's how I saw the whole continent. Then you get a little older and you realize, wow, they really pushed that whole everywhere else sucks thing. And it's true, everywhere else does suck, but not as badly as I initially thought. Instead of PayPal, they use Payway. The Chinese jokes are hilarious. Good stuff. Seven o' cl. The word is peso. And you can do it right now. If you go to the app and tap on that, take it in the app 7 o' clock box will be peso. P, E, S, O is how you spell peso. I wouldn't want to think about that too much either, but there you go. Yesterday we talked about Ozempic vulva for a second, and Ed downstairs said, I learned something today. Like, what's that? Ed. Not Ed Gein, because you think he's related, but he's not. He said, I learned about oic vulva. I'm like, no kidding? He goes, isn't a day goes by I don't learn something from you? And I'm like, crack a book. This is not the place to do some work, get a hug. Yeah, but this guy says, my wife is taking OIC and she's down about 30 pounds. She wasn't huge, but it was going the wrong direction Anyway. To all the men who think after the weight loss your wife has on oic will make them fun and sexual again, you're wrong. She now has a million new complaints about her body, including what I heard you talk about in the podcast about her vagina. That thing flat, deflated like an old football. Yuck. So weird. She wants to get mommy tucks and makeovers and all that. So if your wife's thinking about going on Ozempic and she's about 40 pounds overweight, say no, because it's gonna cost you about 70 grand. And fixing her after she's done the Ozempic made my wife look great in clothes, but naked. She looks like a wax figure standing by a heat lamp. My life is now more miserable than when she was fat. Naked, Awful wife. Signed Stephen. Yeah, I've heard that that is a The rapid weight Loss is not great for your skin elasticity and all that other stuff, but it's still, you know, it's better than the alternative. But if you're deflating vagina, which we found out about yesterday, I didn't know that at all. Not even a little bit. So if you're on the Ozempic, there's a new one.

[Brett]

Researchers are using a hypnosis based weight loss surgery. They get you on the table like you're getting the gastric bypass.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Or a bariatric surgery. And this doctor does this hypnosis. And so far, out of like 964 patients, the average is they're losing 10% of their.

[John Holmberg]

So are they knocking them out, cutting a hole in their stomach and then sewing them? Right.

[Brett]

No cutting.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's what they just.

[Brett]

They walk them through that procedure. Like, this is what's happening.

[John Holmberg]

We would be doing. I wonder if you just did that. If you put somebody down, knocked them out, cut a hole in them and they thought they're getting a gastric bypass.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And so I'm back up. If they'd start losing weight because mentally they thought, well, I can't eat. You know, you would, you would definitely mentally change your ways. Like if they. I don't know that they didn't.

[Brett]

That's basically what they're doing without doing the cut.

[John Holmberg]

But would be effective because you actually come out going, oh, my surgery scars.

[Brett]

Because what they found also is the people that get that. The sleeve deal.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

That those people are even eventually bringing the weight back.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, everybody. Well, because it's a habit. It's not your body. It's not your body's fault you're fat. I mean, you did that. You did it to you. But that's the, the weird thing is that I don't have any proof that they actually stuffed new parts in my shoulders. But I went through all the. I'm assuming they did. But I went through all the stuff and then I did all the PT and got better. But I mean, deep down, if they'd have just cut me and said, here it is. I'm. I'm pretty sure it would have still hurt. But I wonder if my brain would have been like, no, that's just the surgery stuff. Get past it. And then I block it. And I wonder if like, you know, gastric bypass surgery and all that other stuff would make you feel like, well, I got the surgery, so of course I'm going to lose weight. So then your mind changes. That's an interesting idea there. I Like that yesterday, speaking of, you know, interesting thoughts and things, right as the show ended, said, all right, see you tomorrow, folks. Here's Larry. I take a look at my emails here in the studio and a guy said, and I had said something earlier, and I don't remember exactly the line. I said something earlier about blowing Brett for something. And we all giggled and whatever. And then a guy said, that's it. I can't listen anymore. He said, your liberal agenda and your, your, you know, your full on crazy liberal ways of supporting this gay movement and being all for fine with your world of twinks and trannies. I can't listen to you. And I'm like, because I joked about blowing Brett. That's funny, isn't it? Like, no, you meant it. I'm like, okay, I guess I meant it. Never mind. I thought, I thought it was a joke. But yeah, I guess I, I guess I am. You know, by saying, oh sure, I'd blow Brett for the right price. I mean, everybody, we all have a price. So. But he's gonna email back, see, it's your twink agenda. And so he starts bashing me for being too Liberal and I'm Mr. Lefty and all this. I go into my office a few seconds later and Tripp comes in and he goes, I gotta talk to you about something. And I'm not bothered by it. Like, okay. Said, just curious. I'm like, what? And he said, I heard you mention Charlie Kirk this morning and then a couple other things, and I'm kind of wondering if you're sort of going that way. And I'm like, what are you talking about? He goes, are you headed towards like. Because you've always said you're in the middle, but I'm hearing you're more to the like, what are you saying, Tripp? Are you a magatard? And I'm like, what are you talking about? And he goes, yeah, I'm hearing that. I'm like, I just read an email saying I'm too liberal and I'm too twink friendly. This guy can't listen to me because I'm, I'm too left. Oh, well, I heard you're making fun of the no Kings march. Yeah, cuz I can't stand when they clog up traffic. I've done this forever.

[Brady]

Oh, same when I have the pride parades. It doesn't matter.

[John Holmberg]

I don't. Traffic. Yeah, I hated the Tea Party. Don't clog up the roads on nice days has nothing to do with politics. But we had a nice long discussion yesterday and kind of came to the conclusion that everybody's political stance is so dug in that they have to assign me something because I'm the least brave. I will admit that. That I don't want to get in bed with either party. I'll lean one way for certain topics, and the other, I'm totally socially a liberal lunatic. There's no question. I do whatever you want. It's not going to bother me. I'm pretty secure in what I am. You want to be gay, that's great. Don't force it on people. That's a big thing. And then on the other side, I'm pretty happy with certain things that go on with them, too. But people on every day, every. Every couple days, I'll get one. They're going, you're a liberal piece of crap. You love Obama, Biden loving, like, what the hell? And then somebody else, you're a mockhatar. Do this. I'm like, okay. But it is an unbrave stance for me to take the middle because it's real easy to hate both sides, which is what I do. And Tripp and I were talking about that, and he said, why did you bring up Charlie Kirk? And I said, oh, we were talking about Hitler, and if he was a baby, we would slaughter him as a baby. He goes, all right, never mind. That's enough of that. I heard the Hitler baby talk, and then I heard Charlie Kirk, like, see, that's it. We are so triggered by words that if you say anything favorable about Charlie Kirk, who, by the way, I think is a wonderful person who may have some views I disagree with and some views I agree with. And that's. I thought he was just an incredibly. I admire articulate, well spoken, ambitious people with good direction. I don't have that. I can talk a blue streak, but I don't have direction and ambition the way I should. And then I see somebody that has it I admire, and I don't care what their message is. I watch a lot of religious, like Joel Osteen, like, this dude's got a goal. I feel like he's a shyster. The dude's got a goal and he's. And he's good at it. I like to watch a man manipulate an audience. I like to watch someone get up on a stage and just own a room, no matter what their message. It can be scary, but I admire it.

[Brett]

You appreciate it?

[John Holmberg]

I appreciate the hell out of it. It's an amazing skill to get on a stage and say, all right, everybody, me and and by the way, it's gonna be good. And not just stand up. Stand up. Comics rely on jokes. You go there with an agenda to laugh. As an audience, you go with an agenda. So I started to think about that, and we were talking, like, do you think in the future? And we both don't know the answer to this. And I'm wondering that you can have any sort of show without politics, even if you don't want to. Like, I don't think we get this current stage. You have to. You can't help it. Like. Like, just mentioning Charlie Kirk made Tripp go, oh, he's talking about Charlie Kirk. But I wasn't. I was talking. I mentioned him, but I wasn't talking about Charlie Kirk. It was weird. So whenever you say something like Trump this or. Or, you know, Kamala that or whatever, people just assign you a space and then make the topic political. When I started, because Toledo and I talked about it, when are we talking politics? When are we doing. But if you mention politics, people get triggered and say, they're talking about politics. I'm out.

[Brett]

Yeah. Or they're in. Or they're trying to get it.

[John Holmberg]

Or they want you to be on a side. Yeah. Yeah. They're baiting you to be like, get in my camp. And when you're not, it frustrates them. And they're like, oh, I don't like talking about politics.

[Brett]

Politics.

[John Holmberg]

It's a weird world we're in with that, because it is. And I've said this for years. It's our only commonality. Like, I wanted to talk about the Ed Gein thing a week ago, and you can't, because not everybody's caught up, but everybody's caught up on politics. Like the old joke that comedian had, which was like, we. We all talk about politics a lot. And it's frustrating because nobody's saying, hey, quiet down. I'm only up to the 2024 election. Like, no. Like, nobody's behind. We're all in the same boat. It's the only common sports, live events, and politics are the only things. We're like the water cooler talk. That's it. Because it used to be we all American Idol. It used to be Sopranos, right? Yeah. We'd sit, oh, my God. You watch Breaking Bad on Sunday night or Monday night, and you'd come in Tuesday and talk. Now it's like, no, I'm only on episode two. I'm only on season one. You don't have that open free forum to say, did everybody watch this? I remember When I was growing up, Bruce Kelly, who did a morning show until he whipped his dick out at Disneyland and then wasn't allowed to anymore. God, I hope he calls me again. His calls are off the off. They're unhinged. I still have it saved. I'll play it for you. I don't want to play it because I don't. He called a different line. So it's not permissive for me to do so. But he's unhinged and he's mad because that is not what happened. Mike, you whipped your dick out at Disneyland. Oh, it was an alcoholic. I mean, I understand that all these things I covered. I just find it hysterical that you did it anyway. Wouldn't want to do it. Back when I was a kid, my mom used to listen to Bruce Kelly and Maggie brock on KZZP 104.7 FM. You get a free sticker every time you got a Domino's Pizza from them. They were brilliant back in the day. And then you put it on your car and they chase you around and give you money, which probably is some. Our lawyers would never tolerate that nowadays. But they would have the prize patrol go out. And if you had a case, remember in the 80s here, KZP stickers were on everything. Car in the city. They were dominant. Pratt might say he dominated. He did not. KZZP was a monster. Anyway, on Wednesday morning, Maggie and Bruce, who kind of had on the air a Will they won't they vibe like you kind of thought, I know Bruce has got his wife over there in Dobson Ranch. I knew where he lived. And Maggie's a single gal. I'm not sure what she looks like, but she's got that sultry kind of raspy voice. I think they might be doing it. So Moonlighting, the show with Bruce Willis was kind of the same way with the Will They, Won't they with Maggie and David on Wednesday mornings, he did the Moonlighting update. The night before, everybody in America watched Moonlighting the day after, we all talked about it on the air. We could not do that anywhere near close today with anything outside of sports or a political speech. Because if there's a show that's on right now, and even that, you get 10 people in a room, get 10 people in the room that have seen the same version, like, seen it all. There's some people that can just binge it all in a day. I'm not one of those. So you're on episode four, you're on episode six. We'd ruin it for each Other. So what happens? It sneaks in. Are we blowing up drug boats? Like, that's. But people think it's because it's neat. But people thinks that's.

[Brett]

And you find that out. I mean, it's just. It's. There's so much to cover.

[John Holmberg]

Well, sure, but you think that's politics. When really, all I'm saying is I kind of dig blowing up Venezuelan drug boats. I like the visuals. I think that's a neat thing. Then I'll say, and I've gotten letters on both sides of this. Can't believe you support a president that would blow up. I'm like, I didn't support anything. I liked the videos. And then I said, it's bad news, though, because eventually we're gonna do something where we blow up a plane of nuns, like they did in the 80s when they were doing planes. They were knocking planes out of this guy with drugs. And I said, so it's gonna end badly, but for now, it's pretty cool. That day, I got letters on both sides. You know, we've got to stop the drug trafficking. You're so liberal. I'm like, oh, my God, Everybody has to calm the F down, John.

[Brady]

Right, left, doesn't matter. Fart jokes for the win.

[John Holmberg]

Exactly. And usually we go down that road. But it was an interesting talk I had with Tripp when he asked me if I was mogatard, and I said no, but you're a libtard, so it doesn't make sense that you'd be so angry at me. Well, I'm not a libtard. Oh, you're libtard. And I'm compared to you, probably a Moga tard. Well, I mean, even mentioned Charlie Kirk, like, that doesn't make me a maga tard, but I do like that we're both debating our. Our tardisms, but I don't think you can. I don't think the next generation can have anything that doesn't dabble in that. You look at all those podcasts. Call me Daddy or Call Her Daddy. And Marc Maron. And what made Marc Maron's podcast huge? Obama went on. What brought light to the Call Her Daddy podcast. Kamala went on. On. Eventually, Joe Rogan, for God's sakes, became part of the election. You can't even have, like, goofs on it. So the reason I'm telling you this is because I'm going to start faking it pretty hard, and I'm going to go strong hard Magatar, just to make Tripp crazy. I think that's the goal right here, is now that, you know, I'm going to be all Rush Limbaugh all the time here on the EIB Network.

[Brett]

You believe these libtards?

[John Holmberg]

What? Flunting around there, queer all day long, tired, looking outside and seeing nothing but queer on the eab. So, yeah, I started to have that. But Tripp thinks I'm a mogatar. And to be honest with you, I just learned yesterday he's a libtard. I am neither. You guys can do a song together. Live together in perfect Tartary.

[Brady]

Bring him out to the night of Seeing the Dead.

[John Holmberg]

Neither of them are dead. Ebony and Ivory gotta wait for one of the guys to die. Stevie and Paul.

[Brady]

Yeah, close enough.

[John Holmberg]

You've seen Paul lately? He doesn't look good. No, he looks like my grandma. Yeah, but on that note, I do want to talk about something that everybody is watching. And if you're not watching it, I don't care. I'm no longer going to care if you're caught up or not. Brady and I were talking before the show about a documentary that's kind of blown up called Good Neighbor. And you want to talk about polarizing people. Everybody grew up in a neighborhood with one. That was the. The appeal to To Kill a Mockingbird, which we all had to read, was the Radley House. And I know I'm getting all, you know, literary. You're losing literary on your ass.

[Brady]

Go back to fart jokes.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. But if you go. If you. If you go into that, it's a. It's a show. It's about kids. And they're, you know, their summer. And they have this strange fascination with the Radley House. It's the house on their street. And their dad was a lawyer. The whole. The whole thing is basically civil rights. And their dad stood up for a black guy who was accused of raping Llewella or Llewellyn or what was her name? Lma Lul or something like that. Anyway, so he raped this white girl, supposedly, when all he was doing was helping her break up some old furniture in the front yard that she asked him to do. And then when she made her advances towards Tom Robinson, he said no because he knew better than to bang some white broad. He was just a black guy with polio who was strong. And so Huell was her last name. Huell. I loved it. It's a great show. It's a great book. It's a great movie. Holmberg's Morning Sickness. But on the house was the Radley House. And there's some hillbillies and there's some prominent people on the same street. And the kids were told never to go to the Radley House, but they were curious about it, so they'd always go run over to the Radley house. How close can we get to the door? How come? You know, and everybody grew up in a neighborhood like that. Then they started to see in a notch in a tree that there were little gifts, little carvings of the kids. And they were like, what the hell's going on? The Radley House has a little presence in it. And they started to recognize that, oh, it's a. The whole movie is about judgment towards what you see and what is the reality. So the Radleys represented, you know, your initial feelings about black people until you recognize they're human beings. And it may not look the same as you, but they have, you know, human emotions and all that. And then the other side was actually the very obvious black and white version. So in this. In this documentary, Good Neighbor, there's a crazy who lives on a street with families. And the families have a ton of kids. Now it is a mixed neighborhood ethnically, of blacks and whites. And I didn't see anybody else, did you?

[Brett]

And they're quad plexes.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Well, not single.

[Brett]

Famous.

[John Holmberg]

Well, there were houses across the street and then the lady was in a quad.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

So across the street you're in one of those neighborhoods. Yeah, you're. You're in one of those neighborhoods where you live in a house. And directly across the street is like Section 8 housing. It's like inexpensive, one bedroom, 900 square foot, little tiny condos. Tempe's loaded with them. College cities always have that. When there's like seven in a. In a. In a. In a little strip and there's big.

[Brett]

A big yard.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. There's general area, sort of an open space. And then usually those things have like a 10 foot setback and then the open areas there. But you got the bread. I don't know where you actually grew up, but you had a crazy effort on your street. Yeah, we all do. Everyone does. And we all, as kids, mess with that person. Sometimes your doorbell ditch. Some people egg. Some people throw stuff. Some people tease. Some people try to get their goat by getting noisy in front until they come out and go, yo, kids, get off. And then you moon them and everything else.

[Brett]

Even if it was walking by the house and the person would yell at you. Yes, because they're crazy.

[John Holmberg]

Loved it. You're like, yeah, let's Go walk by over and over. You'd walk by to try to just.

[Brett]

Like, ah, that's hilarious.

[John Holmberg]

That person insane. Well, almost inevitably, and having 25 years on this show, listening to the Brady Report and things like that, if you do it too many times, eventually they come out with a weapon. It's. It's. It's just textbook behavior of the loony on the street. Well, this documentary, these kids are playing in the common area and loud and noisy. And the single weirdo lady, and she is a weirdo, is in her house and goes nuts every time they do it and goes outside and screams things at him. Racial slurs occasionally. Says all sorts of terrible things to him. Meanwhile, the kids who in the documentary are just angelic kids trying to play. And nobody's doing anything.

[Brett]

They're being kids.

[John Holmberg]

Occasionally they mentioned or show on, and a lot of it's on videotape. Show them, like, kind of waving their ass at her, smacking their ass. And then the cops would come and say, can you just stay out of it? There's plenty of places to play.

[Brady]

Leave him alone.

[John Holmberg]

Can you just leave her alone? You're gonna make our lives a lot better. And they're like, yeah, yeah, we'll do it. Sure enough, two days later, those kids are back in her area, screaming. And it's nighttime, screaming and yelling, doing all sorts of stuff and being loud. And everybody's like, they're just kids. They're just kids. It's like, yeah, but she's a lunatic. Just because you want her not to be isn't the case. So I'm watching this documentary and they try to make this about race, which in a way it is, and it also isn't. It's about a lunatic. And then one of the days, the crazy lady picks up a roller skate and chucks it at one of the kids who was admittedly antagonizing her near her porch. He was yelling things to her and trying to get to her. She picked up a roller skate and chucked it at him. Now, she'd done it a few times. The mom didn't like it. And evidently she had said some things. They went back and forth verbally. The mother of the kid didn't like it, went over, started to pound on her door, right. Started to scream and yell at her. And getting involved again.

[Brett]

This is all, again, eyewitness account. There's nothing just take place?

[John Holmberg]

No, no. But in that part wasn't videotaped, but everything else was on cop cameras and.

[Brett]

All this other thing is amazing.

[John Holmberg]

When did this take place just a couple years ago?

[Brady]

Okay. So there were ring cameras and things like that.

[John Holmberg]

The cops have. They're much. That they made a documentary out of all the footage.

[Brady]

Because we didn't have that when we were dicking around with the jerk down. Down the road.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. We could lie. Yeah, yeah, I wasn't doing that. But now you got a ton of.

[Brady]

Bring out a big VHS camera was the only way.

[John Holmberg]

But even the mother that she said, yes, the kids go over and all the cops kept saying were just, just don't go over there.

[Brett]

We tell them to stay out of that.

[John Holmberg]

Just don't go to that spot. She's nuts.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And he. And the one cop's like, we know. Oh, she's crazy, but just to avoid problems, just stay away from her. Well, no. And for months, this goes on and on. Finally, it boils up to the point where the lady's banging on the door and the crazy woman inside fires through the door and kills her. Kills her dead. And instead of anyone saying, you know, two things needed to happen. One, everybody needed to admit they were wrong for pushing this lady to her limits. And two, the lady needs to go to jail. Yeah. For just firing a weapon instead of calling. She was on. And then they had some timelines of her calls that didn't add up at all. She just. She shot because she was angry and wanted to kill someone. But everybody I read online and I'm doing all this stuff, and they're like, it's. It's white this, it's black that, it's white this. And I'm like, no, this is like, we can unite over this. This is all of us, black, white, or otherwise, that have a crazy on our street. We have got to. I'm sure you've got one. You don't even know it. And if you don't know it, you're probably the crazy C word.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

If you don't know who the person is, it might be you. But everybody's got that house that. I have one in my neighborhood that every time I go by, I'm like, oh, I can't wait for them to move. Like, they park up.

[Brett]

We've got an old couple that. She's Italian and he's English, and they. Their door is never close, so they're yelling at each other.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they're the nuts.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And you stay away from them because if you go up, I'm very like most people do. Hey, I hear you guys are getting kind of loud. Happy domestic violence month. What the hell eventually you're gonna. The people who are nuts.

[Brett]

I try to stay on the good side.

[John Holmberg]

Why even stay on us side. Leave them alone completely.

[Brett]

Well, don't. I'm just like, wave to him where he says hello, whatever.

[John Holmberg]

But you're hearing them yelling.

[Brett]

But there's some people that. I've gone over there and confronted them about their noise. The noise. And then he does. He's one. They have a kit their grandkids come over to.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, you've told me about them. And that's the one that snuck in and out of the way.

[Brett]

They're moving some merch.

[John Holmberg]

They're moving drugs. So everybody. So you've got accused. Everyone's got one. Was that the one where the cops were there and the kid crawled out of the window or something like that Multiple times. Okay. And what?

[Brett]

You know, I'm waiting for the documentary.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, Kirby, you and your friends stay away from that house. Right?

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

That's just like. That's it. And if Kirby goes over there and bad things eventually happen, you tell Kirby, knock it off. That is not the fault of the homeowner who's nuts. It's the fault of the kid who can't stop bothering them.

[Brett]

Yeah. So the good thing about that one is, even though they have their deal, kids aren't going over there and fueling that.

[John Holmberg]

Of course, because they've been trained properly. Well, dumber kids would go try to get a rise out of those loud old people who are easily angered. So watching this good neighbor thing, I got frustrated with the response back that everything was racial, when really all it is is people who are trying to make someone mad who's easily angered and that person hitting their level of intolerance and starting to shoot. And it's just this weird kind of vibes. Like we should be able to get on that without being racially divided. I don't see color here. I actually might side some with the shooty lady. Up until the gun play.

[Brett]

Well, yeah, if you were playing. Oh, they were pushing her.

[John Holmberg]

Right.

[Brett]

And having to them. It's fun in a way.

[John Holmberg]

Harmless. Nothing bad's gonna happen. She just goes nuts and throws a skate at us. We'll be fine until. Until you're not. Did you see the video of those kids that were dressed up as horrible Halloween figures, telling people in their ring camera they were going to come back and kill them?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

It's scary as hell, but you don't know who's on the other side of that door. And somebody unhinged. What they're packing War veteran. What they've got, what. What they. What they're currently going through. And you start dicking around on ring cameras, going, we'll come back and kill you later. Next time someone's at my door, I have something in my hand. I don't know who you are. There were kids at my place the other day. I was playing basketball, and they're running around, and then they banged on the door for some reason. And I'm outside. I didn't hear it. I'm like, what are their kids in my. And they're. You know, I have the playground now in the backyard. So I think maybe they're thinking that, you know, it's open for everybody. No, to everyone. It's not.

[Brett]

You got the new rec center.

[John Holmberg]

I got a rec center. That's for me. It's the Johnny Solo Dome. But, yeah, so I. You know, and you just start going like. And they're screaming and yelling, and I'm like, all right, if this was an everyday thing where I got kids screaming and yelling, I am definitely gonna go, all right, guys, none of you live here. Don't go back to wherever it is you live and play there. Why are you at my house? Which is what that lady did. I kind of get it. I get kids being kids to a certain point. But if I asked you to be quiet and you're not, and then you come back and do it again the next day, and I say, hey, come on, shut up. You're killing me. I sleep, you know, Brett, you did overnights. There'd be nothing worse than a bunch of kids playing outside your house in the daytime, not knowing the guy who lives in that house, stays up all night for work and trying to get sleep in the daytime. When everybody says, oh, they're just being kids, it's like, guys, I work all night. I need this time a little peace and quiet. Go play in your area. Would drive you crazy.

[Brady]

I literally threw the Arcadia door open one time.

[Brett]

Shut up.

[Brady]

I literally. It was like 11 o' clock in the morning. Yeah. It wouldn't shut up.

[Brett]

But you know, to a degree that I like, you see it, and that's how you become the guy. You keep doing that. Then you become, oh, I know. Lady turned into. And. But you know better, right?

[Brady]

No, absolutely.

[Brett]

And. But there's friends that, you know. I have a one neighbor. Like, man, you're creating this stuff.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

And what happens?

[John Holmberg]

But I have to watch.

[Brett]

This place gets teepee.

[John Holmberg]

It's really easy to say, oh, that lady was crazy and shot, but it's like, you brought that on. You stay away. What happened to us that we try to change the minds of the crazy person on the street? That's as old as time. I got an email that says we have a guy in our neighborhood that just stands in his yard and insists on talking to us every time we go by. Signed, everybody in Brady's neighborhood. Yeah, there's that. You know, to avoid that. Laser told me he looks out his window first to see if he can go outside on days you might be standing there. And I laughed for a half an hour at Suns game like you do. And he goes, yeah, sometimes I just don't want to talk. And I'm like, is he ever inside? He goes, no. Like, oh, my God. Which is where the whole myth of Brady standing in his yard bothering people starts. But if you don't like that, it doesn't mean you hate that person. It means, I'm just not in the mood for this. If I go outside and I see somebody standing out there, I go back in. Like, I'm not gonna go wander around. Or if Michael and Troy are across the street, and I'm like, all right, I gotta go. I'll wait for them to go back in before I. You know, Because I get that awkward thing where if you don't say hi or a jerk, and then you gotta, you know. And they're the same way, which is good. We're like, I don't have time for this. We're both that way. It's great. They say hello to each other and we do what we do. And it's not like something you have to stand outside going, geez, it sure is beautiful outside, isn't it? We had some rain there for a bit. It's like, oh, Christ, I'm trapped in small talk. Hell with weatherman.

[Brady]

I had a neighbor one time, I would. I was out washing my car, and I would hear his front door open. He's coming out. I just went back in. Leave the soap on the car. I'll deal with it later. You know, I'm done. That is a true story.

[John Holmberg]

I had one that used to watch me mow the grass. And as I would start to drive the riding mower down the front yard, I'd see him walk towards me, and I just turn it off. I'd get up and I'd walk in the house and I'd stare out the window until he went home. And he would wait. Sometimes, like, he just needed people. He hated being in his own house. He must have hated his wife. But he did not like being in there. He had no one to talk to, and he took strangers, like being outside as an invitation. It's awful, but I'd avoid him. I didn't want to fight the guy. Just didn't want to be around him. Yeah, there are. I just don't see in this particular situation that. That it was racially motivated other than she was frustrated by a bunch of black people and she was a crazy white. We made it racial when really all it was was a bunch of people bothering another person. And that person snapped and should be in jail. She's not. Which is the crazy.

[Brett]

And it wasn't only, you know, it wasn't all black kids. It was a.

[John Holmberg]

No, there was some white kids in there.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

But the woman that died was black.

[Brett]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

So it looks great.

[Brett]

She had four kids.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And she was evidently like a princess. She was in a wonderful human being. But she snapped, too, because you threw a skate at her kid. And then she got mama bear and went over and started. She had had it with that crazy, too. And then, you know, they shot. So I was sitting there watching them, and I went on, you know, went online. I'm like, the comments and things like that. I'm like, everybody thinks this is, like, this is America 2025, that black kids can't play in a front yard. I'm like, no crazy people of any color. It doesn't matter. You don't bother them.

[Brett]

You don't.

[John Holmberg]

Everybody's got that one house, the Radley house from To Kill a Mockingbird, that you tell your kids, don't you, over there. I don't think good things are going to happen if we interact a lot with that group.

[Brett]

There are also, you know, there was a point of making the stand your ground law that also, you know, it was a Florida thing.

[John Holmberg]

Well, she used that as her defense.

[Brett]

And then at the end, they put.

[John Holmberg]

Up a stat right, and it's wrong. Yeah, but that's the thing we've lost, is we can't watch that and say, oh, my God, everybody in this was wrong.

[Brett]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

But we don't have that. Everybody has to be assigned a role of right and wrong, righteous and bad. And I saw that whole thing. I'm like, crazy. Announced herself for like a year as the street crazy. And after a while, you realize, oh, stay away from crazy, because she's gonna lose it someday. Same as any office building. You stay away from a couple of people at work.

[Brady]

There's a few here that we stay.

[John Holmberg]

Away from when they get mad. You know not to go waving your ass at them. It's morning roller skates coming your way and it doesn't matter what color they are.

[Brett]

Don't poke the bear.

[John Holmberg]

Do not poke. When crazy says, I'm crazy and I live in your neighborhood and I'm gonna be crazy every day. Let's go play in their front yard.

[Brett]

Never.

[John Holmberg]

What do you do with. It's a failing on so many levels. And then unfortunately, we as people get to watch it on the cameras of police officers, which is how many times the cops were called. So in a way, the crazy bitch was doing the right thing way too often of calling the cops. And then the people with the kids were all great to the police going, yeah, we know she's nuts. We'll stop, we'll stop going over there. We'll stop. And then the next day they're like, I thought, I thought we agreed that we weren't gonna. Well, that's a common area. Like, yeah, but yesterday we said we're gonna, we're at least gonna give it a break. We're back today. Like, just stay out of that space. Well, we're allowed over there. It's like yesterday we said we were not going over there. Okay. And then the cop got back in the car, said, I'm here every day. He told his partner, he goes, this is every day. She's a crazy bitch. This is not gonna. Gets back in his car.

[Brett]

There's one thing that's missing, and you might think it's stupid, but. But when you first move into a neighborhood, you can have that confrontation. Like, this person's crazy. You're told that person's crazy. You go over there and you have your first confrontation. Like, oh, I had it when I moved into one house. This neighbor, you know, lectured me about keeping my property together. And this guy said, I'm the self professed neighborhood police. You gotta, you know, and like, not.

[John Holmberg]

A great first impression, right? Yeah.

[Brett]

No one. I don't know. There wasn't really stuff that I, I finally, I reached out to the guy again and said, well, can you help me with this?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Lo and behold, in fairness, your yard had gone to crap.

[Brett]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

So you were at least self aware enough to know why the guy was there.

[Brett]

So in fairness, my kids are going over there disrupting this lady's neighborhood.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, back to the.

[Brett]

Did anyone really reach out? That's the thing that was missing that, you know, what if you went over there and said, hey, I just want to say, apologize for my kids. I made you something or whatever. You know, just a thing of gratitude.

[John Holmberg]

And then when she's crazy again, you.

[Brett]

Just address it as like, okay, aren't.

[John Holmberg]

Allowed in that spot. Yeah, we. I had a couple of places I wasn't allowed to play when I was a kid because it was too close to the crazy person's house. Yeah. There's a Crazy lives by the rich family, the riches. Don't go over there. Just kind of avoid it. Go around it. There's two ways to get to Mark's house. Crazy. Or around the long way. Ride your bike the long way. And I would. Because crazy hated kids. To the point where she stood outside, threw stuff. Get out of here. Like, Jesus, I'm. I'm literally just going by your house. But in all truth, we would go by an awful lot to make her crazy. Flip her off. Yeah.

[Brett]

You know, you're still probably gonna.

[John Holmberg]

We were pushing it, knowing she'd announced crazy.

[Brett]

But as far as the adults, I never saw that. And I know that was in this deal, that none of them really came over there and said, what is the real problem? Well, if you can keep your kids out of my place.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And she tried that with the cops. I watched that whole thing, and I'm like, we gotta stop doing this to ourselves. This is a slanted documentary about race. And I know that is kind of not the right thing to say for trying to not make it about that. We have to start making people who are crazy out loud crazy again and stop trying to.

[Brett]

And that's the other thing that's changed over the years is the people's moment of snapping.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. Like, this one took a long time.

[Brett]

I know. But, like, road rage.

[John Holmberg]

Oh.

[Brett]

And stuff like that. You like you. There's times that you. You hear something like, Ronnie maybe was really upset at someone like that. You got to be careful about that.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You don't know what the other guy's got.

[Brett]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

Some people. You know what kind of day they're having. This guy says people didn't learn from the Travis Alexander thing. Stay away from crazy. Crazy. Announce themselves fast. 100. Almost. Almost immediately. You're like, whoa, red flag. But she's hot. And that'll kind of temper it for a minute. Crazy bitches announce crazy immediately. And especially when they're old and alone. Oh, my God. That's the one you truly stay away from. It's a good documentary because of how it's filmed, which is very uniquely done from the body cam of officers. They were there so much. They made an hour And a half documentary out of it.

[Brett]

And it was good on the fact that the police were filming there. And you don't really say all the.

[John Holmberg]

The.

[Brett]

The police did a terrible job of handling.

[John Holmberg]

There was nothing they could do.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

They continually went back to a place and said, this is. This is easily solved. Stay out of the crazy yard, please. Or. Or adjacent to it. And they're like, okay. And then the next day, they're like, what's going on? Why are we back here? Well, those kids like it over there. Okay.

[Brett]

Then they caught the heat from the community pressure.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Of saying, you gotta arrest this person.

[John Holmberg]

Like, we can't. We got to figure it out. It's worth a watch. But, man, it's weird how that thing kind of in a secondary way, polarizes everybody into having to pick a side instead of just going, everybody in this documentary is wrong. This was leading to trouble from the beginning.

[Brett]

There is one thing that the lady being interviewed. Crazy lady.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Saying. Did you know they're saying. Did you use this verbiage?

[John Holmberg]

She's like, oh, it might have slipped out. Yeah.

[Brett]

Yeah. But I'm in the heat of battle.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Did you say.

[Brett]

They said some things to me.

[John Holmberg]

Did you say the N word? Maybe she did.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

A lot. Yeah. It's crazy. It was nuts. Yeah. Anyway, it's interesting to watch, but we. I think it's just a little. A little quick check of ourselves to say sometimes you can watch something and go, oh, everybody in this is wrong. And then it led to a murder. So somebody's going to jail and somebody's dead. Was it worth it to play in the yard? We can all figure that out. You got a crazy person on your street. Stay away from them. And I'm talking to everyone on Brady Street. If he's outside, run away. I like that. You would just, like, go over to their house just to confront it. I got a crazy person in my neighborhood. Like, they stay crazy and they stay far away. I don't want them getting eyeballs on me. The last thing I want to do is be the one they like. Because then when the whole neighborhood starts to fall apart, suddenly they are leaning on me. And I'm like, well, now I'm on your camp. Now I'm going to look like I'm on the nut, too. I'm the first one to go. That person's insane. And I climb on board. I can repair that. If you're insane and I'm your friend, I got to try to get out of that. Oh, here we go. John, you Liberal, cuckoo. Just kidding. Just wanted to throw it out there. Oh, thank you. Yeah, I live in the middle too much. I watched that and I hated everyone in the documentary. Get your goddamn kids off the crazy lady's lawn. This is over.

[Brett]

I would. I was thinking that, you know, if I'm not lady, like, why. Although it's easier to say that that why not just move?

[John Holmberg]

It's too hard to do that. And plus, I gotta be honest with you, you. There were like 31 kids. Her big mistake was. Her big mistake was looking at that house going, oh, this is nice. And not going back the next day or a couple days after to see how the neighborhood operates. Go hang around there. Because all that thing was, was a kid playground. There were. I've never. That was a absolute ton of kids.

[Brady]

Time to move.

[John Holmberg]

And that would have been like, oh, I'd have moved into that, except the kids. There's too many.

[Brett]

And that would be tough too, because there's not much of a. I don't think there was much of a curfew going on.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no. They were pretty late out there. Yeah. Kids were allowed to work there a lot. Yeah. And I think that's every time you buy a house. You go by in the daytime when you're. When you're even considering it, like, this is a good one. Go buy it. We'll come by at night, see what it looks like. At night.

[Brett]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

And you go by at night, if you got some weird dude just wandering around with like eight cane corsos and no shirt on, you're like, oh, it's like, well, I like dogs, so maybe he's okay.

[Brett]

You just see that it's great advice if you're looking for a house to do that, to get a feel for the neighborhood.

[John Holmberg]

Of course, that's the best advice anyone can give you. Don't just snap by something and find out later you got 31 kids living across the street. Casey, you son of a bitch, just emailed me, goes. Did you notice the red hellcat parked on the street? I did. And I did laugh at that. Yes, I did see that. And if you're a racist white woman and you go to buy a house, drive them down the road and look for hellcats. If there's one or two of them, you're probably not going to the place you want to be. I like the hellcat. I got no problem with it. But if I was a racist old white woman seeing hellcats and stuff like that, I'm probably not going to move into that neighborhood. It's just nothing good for me is going to happen here. It's crazy anyway. Hilarious. It's already 7:40. My God. Peso was off the bar. We're almost just. Let's just get this thing over with. And I know I'll get emails saying I'm a libtard or a magatard from that, but what I am is a person who looks at everybody and goes, you're all wrong.

[Brett]

But the thing you're missing about the neighborhood, if you're in the neighborhood and there are a lot of hellcats, awesome. You get yourself a hellcat.

[John Holmberg]

Hellcat. You blend, adapt. Brady's a big one. Brady and Brett would say, you don't move in there. I don't get a hellcat. I just move in and admire the hellcat.

[Brett]

I'm not going anywhere.

[John Holmberg]

I'm getting hellcat. Brady tries to keep up with the Joneses and I don't. But I'm well aware that if I'm in a neighborhood of hellcats and I don't like hellcats, I probably shouldn't have moved into this neighborhood. I'm gonna have some problem that's my fault. Take some personal responsibility.

[Brady]

If you walk by a house and a fire alarm's chirping, if you can.

[John Holmberg]

Hear multiple fire, if it sounds like a Christmas carol of chirps, yeah, you're probably. And you're racist. Probably not. For you, it's. It's a weird documentary because I kind of saw everyone is wrong and then the murder, obviously it's like, okay, well, you're the most wrong. Then you're gonna go to jail. But somebody died because. And that's Brett. High five. Kids kill. That's what I learned from that at 7:41. What do you got on the big board of musical treats there, Bert?

[Brady]

All right, magatard, here we go.

[John Holmberg]

Wake up song. Get them, Brett.

[Brady]

Wake up song. Brought to you by Action Ride shop. Getting you guys on the trails right now because the weather is turning and it is turning nice. You need to pick up a new bike.

[Brady]

They're all great here. Brian and H. Mariners too long. That's minutes long. So we can't do that one.

[John Holmberg]

I like absolute zero. I also like. I don't want to. I don't necessarily hear Rowness. Crazy Nights.

[Brady]

But play it for Trip.

You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. But the pellets were wrong with you. It's called the perfect neighbor. I did call it the good neighbor. It's called the perfect neighbor. That's true. Brady and I were just discussing a part where the lady tried to explain what the N word meant to her and it was very funny. She was. It was. It was a bad job interview. 8am code word for today is gig. And I do hide you. I would recommend that documentary. It sure. It's good to watch and it's kind of.

[Brady]

Thank you.

[John Holmberg]

Those app numbers sure were great. What a great promotion you guys are Real healthy station. Thank you. We knew that going in, but you've confirmed it now with your word contest. It's great stuff. It's great engaging money.

[Brett]

I'm glad it's on.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I love it. We're buying.

[Toledo]

Love.

[Brett]

Yesterday we had a little glitch that thought, oh, there might be a temporary stop on the contest because we had a computer issues. But we got it figured out.

[Brady]

When you get the email.

[John Holmberg]

No. What'd it say? Was it during Fitz's.

[Brady]

Because there. No, because it. Well, it was right after we got off the air. Oh, there was that nationwide. Oh, that aws. And it affected. Apparently us as well.

[John Holmberg]

Didn't affect me. Yeah, well, I did my part. I don't know anything about it. It's. Everything good. It's all clear. Toledo's coming in.

[Brett]

We're good.

[Toledo]

So yesterday was wiped off the map app.

[John Holmberg]

What?

[Toledo]

Yeah. Nobody. All the contests yesterday was. Was gone.

[John Holmberg]

Are we supposed to be telling people this? Yes. Okay.

[Toledo]

Because we.

[John Holmberg]

Shouldn't we be lying about it?

[Toledo]

We extended it. Extended the contest a day. Oh, it took out yesterday because of the AWS outage. That affected our app. Affected a bunch of stuff.

[John Holmberg]

I just threw away all the words from yesterday, come up with new ones. Okay, good.

[Toledo]

Oh, yeah.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

All right.

[Brady]

So basically, you wasted your time yesterday.

[Toledo]

Sorry about that, everybody, but everyone wasted their time.

[Brett]

Time.

[John Holmberg]

Sir. It's killed some time. I wouldn't say it's wasted time. I didn't know. And as long as we didn't know, it doesn't. It's Schrodinger's cat. Really? At this point, you were playing a game that was already dead. So when did it actually die? Okay, well, it's working today. Am I wasting my time now or are we good?

[Brady]

Yeah, we think it's working today.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, man. So we're going with. All right, Gig. Keep trying to. And so it broke. Yeah. So all that stuff that was going on with Amazon and stuff like that, that affected us.

[Brady]

How about that? Yeah. Our service.

[John Holmberg]

Amazing.

[Brett]

How many companies had affected. Oh, like I didn't realize that platform.

[John Holmberg]

Or whatever, it got a lot. All right.

[Brett]

American Airlines.

[John Holmberg]

I had no idea we were in that kind of company. Hey, when you go down, go down with the big boys. I'm egg. Nice job, kupd. Also, there is a thing that if you're putting it in and it says it's not taking it. That for some reason has been explained to me twice and Brett said the same thing this morning is that if our. If our app or our server gets hit too hard, it'll start booting individuals off. So just refresh the app. Remember when you just turned your radio on and it all worked just like your streaming signal?

[Brett]

My picture's not coming in all the way.

[John Holmberg]

Turn it on, turn it off. Everything kind of comes back. Gig is the word that we're wasting your time with at 8 o'clock today. And it could all be fruitless. I did not get that email. I don't pay attention to company emails. They're usually stupid. I just ignore them or delete them. Hey, it's from the Bob's Read immediately delete trash can. Double delete forever gone. Did you read that email about our gonculators versus the gininkinniks? No, I didn't. I don't care about what you're studying. Oh, it's fascinating. Turns out we should play more of the cult sometimes, but sometimes not. Oh, that sounds real decisive. Great work, Bob's. It's time for Brady to be decisive and give us all that news that he knows. We call this the Brady Report and it's brought to you by our friends at All Pro shade.

[Brett]

Good Tuesday morning to you, Phoenix.

[John Holmberg]

Hello, world. Hi.

[Brett]

Happy Back to the Future Day. It's official.

[John Holmberg]

Yesterday was a thought of it, but today is the day.

[Brett]

Happy National Pets for Veterans Day, National Apple Day and National Sasquatch Awareness Day.

[John Holmberg]

I'm aware of it.

[Brett]

A new report ranked the places where in America were statistically, you're most likely to spot big.

[John Holmberg]

I know where he is all the time. Time. I know 100 where you can find him. Your imagination. You found him. Congratulations. Search is over.

[Brett]

Here are the top states. US states, all in the south, the top five.

[Brady]

And Washington.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah.

[Brett]

Washington.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Washington, West Virginia.

[John Holmberg]

What's he doing there? The Appalachians. He's not Snowbird. It's horrible there. It's worse.

[Brett]

Oregon, Michigan.

[Brady]

Oh, Michigan. I didn't know. Okay.

[John Holmberg]

Michigan's got a lot of woods.

[Brett]

Ohio's number nine.

[John Holmberg]

Well, those people just like to be involved in stuff. We'll do it. Ohio is the neighbor that buys the car. When you buy a car, we are.

[Brett]

Number three on least likely.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I doubt Sasquatch wanted around 120 degrees with that coat. You don't have to believe in evolution, but you're pretty sure he's not hanging around here.

[Brett]

If you'd see him here, he'd be molting a lot of people.

[John Holmberg]

He'd look like me. He'd be bald and like not that great looking. A little clumsy, big feet.

[Brett]

A couple of baseless fun facts. It's possible that Prince was one of the first kids to play Oregon Trail. It was created for an eighth grade teacher in Minneapolis in the fall of 1971. And at that time, Prince was an eighth grade student at that school.

[John Holmberg]

Well, we can't ask him.

[Brett]

Nope.

[John Holmberg]

We just figured this out. Can we cure cancer, please? And stop wondering if Prince played Oregon trail in the 8th grade.

[Brett]

40% of cats are left handed. Another 10% are ambidextrous.

[John Holmberg]

To 40% lefty. 10% both 50, right?

[Brett]

Yep. It's possible.

[John Holmberg]

And they both have, no matter what they come from, better handwriting than Brady and Brett.

[Brady]

That's true.

[John Holmberg]

You could teach a cat to write. I guarantee you, if I could do it, I could teach a cat to write five words better than you two. If I trained, I would tape a pencil to its hand.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You shouldn't. I. You should not. I would diligently work 24 hours a day to get the cat to just write my name is Brady Bogan and then surprise you and say, can you write this phrase down and then have you write it and then compare the two. Say, which was written by a cat. Thousands of scientists would fail. No one would know. I'm not even sure Brett's is better than Brady's. They're both mine's horrible. Michael J. Fox could write and it would look like the declaration compared to you too.

[Brady]

The best part is my. The crazy part is my parents both have amazing handwriting.

[John Holmberg]

Did not pass it on.

[Brady]

No.

[John Holmberg]

You could write better if you wrote my time right. If you. If you tried. I could be a professional basketball player if I put an effort into it.

[Brett]

A group of parrots is called Parrots.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, A buffet. Just checking.

[Brady]

Retarded.

[John Holmberg]

Retarded. Retard of parrots.

[Brett]

Pandemonium.

[John Holmberg]

I like those. There's a couple of the ones that are pandemoniums.

[Brett]

New analysis just looked at airlines. Worst customer service satisfaction worldwide broke down. They had a bunch of categories. Cancellation delays, lost luggage safety, poor customer service, poor traveling experience. They crunched the numbers. It came out. Here are the top five worst airlines. Ryanair number five. Air France number four. United Airlines number three. Wow. Frontier Airlines number two. Spirit number one.

[John Holmberg]

Come on. Spirit.

[Brett]

American Airlines.

[John Holmberg]

No way.

[Brett]

Spirit was not even in the top 10 airline anymore. Is that true?

[John Holmberg]

They folded up? Yeah, they're pretty close to folding up. They've like filed for bankruptcy and then took all the seats out and then they sold about allegiant British Airways.

[Brett]

Wiz Air was number nine.

[John Holmberg]

Whiz Air. No thanks. I'm not. I'm skipping it on travel drive.

[Brett]

Flying the Whiz.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You would see disappointment on someone's face on the prices, right? If they're like, you won an all expense paid trip on Wiz Air and just show the guy's face like, ah, no. Get on Whiz Air.

[Brett]

Speaking of airlines, according to Google, I found the best time to buy your plane tickets for Thanksgiving. It's right now. Oh, 35 days before your travel date.

[John Holmberg]

Susan. I fly Wizz Air every day. I'm Susan for Wizz Air. Get on board. We'll allow your little dog too. The Wiz Air better. Better have brooms on it. I don't know if there's a giant broom shaped plane. That would be hilarious.

[Brett]

And speaking of Thanksgiving, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation, America's turkey flock has decreased to the smallest size in 40 years, partially due to another resurgence in bird flu cases. Also reduced production.

[John Holmberg]

You think that's going to slow us down?

[Brett]

Yeah. Prices are about 40% higher than they were last year.

[John Holmberg]

Save some DNA. If we eat them all, we'll just start over next year early looking at.

[Brett]

$1.32 per pound average.

[John Holmberg]

Is that good?

[Brett]

It was 94 cents.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's not fair. That's much better. Last year. Yep.

[Brett]

We're expected to be 4.8 billion pounds of production, which is down 5%.

[Toledo]

Doesn't sound like it's down.

[Brady]

Just sounds like they got enough.

[John Holmberg]

Wait, we have a shortage. Hold timeout. We have a shortage and we're going to eat 5 billion pounds.

[Brett]

We're down 5%? Yes. And that's down.

[John Holmberg]

Did we. I need more than 5 billion pounds of Turkey for Thanksgiving, or is that just for the whole year?

[Toledo]

I don't know. I saw plenty at the store last year.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they're fine. They're just expensive.

[Brett]

Now, if you're willing to pony up. Good news is both Butterball and the National Turkey Federation say there will be enough frozen turkeys for Thanksgiving.

[John Holmberg]

We got plenty. It's like if you had $5 billion and you're down to 4.6, you're still doing all right. You're just a little disappointed. You went the wrong way. We got plenty.

[Brett]

Study at San Diego, San Diego State found that people that drink warm drinks in the winter have a better. Better mental and physical health.

[John Holmberg]

Take that, Mormons.

[Toledo]

Joseph Smith said.

[John Holmberg]

Now, I had a lady try to explain that to me a little bit ago about the coffee.

[Brett]

Hot food.

[John Holmberg]

Completely lost interest in mid sentence of it's so cut and Dr. If you're drinking coffee, I'm like, oh, if your God cares about what you drink, you're not going to win this fight.

[Toledo]

Meanwhile, he's turning water into wine.

[John Holmberg]

Well, look, look, there's poverty, there's cancer, there's war. And he gives a flying F that you had a cup of joe. You picked the wrong one. No, you can't have coffee. He's furious about it, but he's not furious about child cancer. He wants you to go to hell for that. But he's taking. Still, Come on, get involved in different ways.

[Brady]

Or fentanyl or.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, fentanyl. Exactly. It's like, yeah, it's probably not good. I'm sure that they're not, you know, going to heaven pretty much for the fentanyl thing. But that coffee deal is a big. It's a big one. Homburg's morning sickness.

[Brett]

I've got a Real quick. Wild America.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brett]

Hello, my friends. Brady Bogan here with your Wild America. Isabella Orduna was surfing Wednesday at the streamer lane in Santa Cruz. And this is her experience was she was on the surfboard. The next thing you know, she felt something bite her toe. And then an otter jumped on the seat.

[John Holmberg]

Nice.

[Brett]

On the surfboard, wouldn't get off.

[John Holmberg]

Cool. And she was still on the board with it. That's impressive.

[Brett]

Remained on her board for 20 minutes.

[John Holmberg]

Wait a minute. That can't be right.

[Brett]

Before being driven away with help from.

[John Holmberg]

Other beachgoers, she was laying on the board. I was picturing her actually surfing. And then it turned into Scooby Doo, that she rode away for 20 minutes.

[Brett]

She basically was on the board just laying out to the friendly Nip. Did not break skin on the toe, bruh.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you did that.

[Brett]

Hello.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, hi. Don't worry about me. I just. Friendly nip Otter.

[Toledo]

Hi.

[John Holmberg]

What are we gonna do here? I just got a new place. Her ass.

[Brett]

He played on the board.

[John Holmberg]

Want to play cards? Yeah, I'll play cards. You're friendly otter. Yeah. I just give you friendly.

[Brett]

Nice. Evidently, there's one aggressive otter.

[John Holmberg]

Just one.

[Brett]

Dubbed Otter 841 because he had tag on him. And that tag has come off. But since then, they feel it's still.

[John Holmberg]

That's an impressive gang member. You can tag an otter.

[Brett]

Yep. And he's done it to numerous surfers.

[John Holmberg]

He's tagged them as well.

[Brett]

Yeah. One guy had it. He got onto the leash of a.

[John Holmberg]

Board, just took off and works his.

[Brett]

Way up the leash. And then.

[John Holmberg]

Otters are adorable, but mean.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[Brett]

This one seemed to be biting or clawing the servers. Just wants to get on the board.

[John Holmberg]

Just roll over and start cracking clams on their bellies. It's adorable. Then you realize how strong they are, that they're just mashing clamshells.

[Brett]

I don't know if you saw this, but Saturday night, the San Jose Sharks hosted the Pittsburgh Penguins at the SAP Center. During the game, it was the Hispanic Heritage Night. And during the game, they posted a sj. Sharks fans love ice. Go get him, boys. It was a pro ice.

[John Holmberg]

In the game.

[Brett]

During the game, Hispanic. Hispanic Heritage Night.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, geez.

[Brett]

They apologized for the message. And.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it was inevitable that the word ice was going to be used at the hockey rink. So it could have gotten confused pretty quickly.

[Brady]

Sounds like something the Bobs would come up with.

[John Holmberg]

We should have ice night. I mean, in Mexican. Yeah. Great job, Bob. You. You announced that. Hi, I'm one of the Bobs. Welcome to Ice Night, Mexicans.

[Brett]

Finally, Kohler just debuted a new toilet camera that watches you go and when. It uses an algorithm to analyze the results and track your health. It's called Dakota D E K O D A. And it costs about 600 bucks. Fits on the side of most toilet bowls. And it uses optical sensors to scan your waste. Then it spits out the stats on your phone. You sign in on a fingerprint fingerprint scanner. It knows who's wasted scanning. It can tell you whether you're dehydrated, your percentage of sessions are regular each week, and it looks at signs of any blood.

[John Holmberg]

Huh.

[Brett]

They say, don't worry, there's no chance of your junk showing up on camera down into your toilet.

[John Holmberg]

My balls are down there.

[Toledo]

I was gonna say you might have some.

[John Holmberg]

They're riding around the logs like Frogger.

[Brett]

On top of the $600, there's also an annual subscription fee of $70.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's interesting. You gotta.

[Brett]

And if you want to add another.

[John Holmberg]

If you want to give a sniff. There you go.

[Brady]

All right.

[Brett]

If you want to add another family member on there, it's another hundred and thirty dollars.

[John Holmberg]

Another one hundred and thirty or goes up to one hundred first.

[Brett]

It's one hundred and thirty dollars for the family plan.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, so. So seventy for you, one hundred and thirty for family.

[Brett]

Yeah. Kohler health dot com.

[John Holmberg]

Got a couple of radio videos, by the way. This guy wants to see if Brett can do the new KTAR slug line. Have you seen it?

[Brady]

No.

[John Holmberg]

I'll write it down. Ready? Go ahead.

[Brett]

All right. First one's a little.

[Toledo]

Hang on.

[Brett]

We got vet work on a cat. Cat's got something in its eyes. You'll like this one, John.

[John Holmberg]

All right. I don't like eyes. Go to.

[Brett]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

Go to. Go ahead. No, no, go ahead.

[Toledo]

I'm not done writing it because I have connections issues.

[John Holmberg]

All right? This guy thinks you can't do what they're slaying saying at KTR now. You'll see. All right, let me get my news bed for Brett. Not Brady's. This isn't a breaking news story. If I can find it. Oh, I don't know where the hell that's. What's the over under 0% chance he can say this?

[Brady]

Oh, come on.

[John Holmberg]

Here's my.

[Toledo]

Concentrate, Rhett.

[Brady]

Confidence in me.

[John Holmberg]

And now breakfast. And they say, I'm Brett Vesely.

[Brady]

I'm Brett Vesely. KTR news, all news, slant.

[John Holmberg]

See? Say it. I didn't.

[Brett]

Try it again.

[John Holmberg]

Hold on. No, no, no. Do it. Do it. All right, here we go. Go again. Here we go. He can't do it. He can't see the word written down. I didn't know that. Go ahead, Brett Vestly. We go to Brett Vesely in the field. Brett. Brett Ves. Oh, my God.

[Brett]

I'm seeing it. Coming up.

[John Holmberg]

All.

[Brady]

All news.

[John Holmberg]

No slam.

[Toledo]

Man.

[John Holmberg]

Do it. He can't do it. He's a child.

[Brett]

How are they getting away with it?

[John Holmberg]

They have billboards that say all news, no slam. I had wrecked my. It's going to kill people on the road if they told you we work with a baby. What are you talking about? You couldn't even, like, button it up. Well, then I read ahead. I know, but that's the problem you have. You get ahead of yourself, son. Terrible people. Oh, there's a cat with goopy eye on the tv on top of all this. Toledo's so sad today. I don't even like him in the room. Look at him. It's a big puddle of. Of misery. All right, go ahead. Come check this. Oh, they're reaching in with tweezers into this cat's eye, and they're pulling out. What is that?

[Brett]

Foxtail?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it was. It looked like a bug or something. It's a foxtail. Got stuck in this cat's eyeball. Oh, my God.

[Brady]

Poor cat.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, is he okay? He's okay.

[Toledo]

Yeah, he said he's okay.

[John Holmberg]

That's being pretty darn good. Most cats wouldn't tolerate that. But he must have been in misery. Yeah. Oh. Oh, I can't stand eyeball stuff.

[Brett]

Next one's the most disturbing mouth I've ever seen. This girl is yelling.

[John Holmberg]

She's almost. Oh, my God. Her teeth are set back in her mouth. Too far. She's got something wrong with her goofy eye. Her lips are about 3 inches ahead of her teeth. Her lips are literally 3 or 4 inches ahead of her teeth. Her mouth is set back behind her lips. Two, three inches. Yeah. She is creepy. Man, that's Halloween. Look at that. It looks like I'm. It looks like the alien when it had the mouth inside the mouth.

[Toledo]

Something's weird with her hair. This might be.

[Brett]

Yeah, I'm thinking it. I kept looking at it.

[John Holmberg]

Look at her hair. Well, her eyeballs are goofy, too, like she's got a disease.

[Brett]

Weird, too.

[John Holmberg]

She turns her head, she looks a little like Dave.

[Toledo]

Looks like she's got snakes.

[John Holmberg]

Snakes.

[Toledo]

It's not like, silky or anything like that.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I don't like that. Whatever that is. It's nightmare fuel. Oh, for Christ's sake. Every picture between the pinky and fourth toe, they are scraping out some serious Gouda on this guy's foot. And it is exactly getting deeper and deeper. Oh, my God. It looked like massive amounts of dried earwax. Remember.

[Toledo]

Remember that? That Jif. Mushroom. Mushroom.

[John Holmberg]

All right. What did you say? Brett, you're up. Snake.

[Brady]

Oh, okay.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Wow. Mushroom.

[Brady]

Snake.

[John Holmberg]

I saw a snake. All right, here we go.

[Brady]

All right, we'll start with this one.

[John Holmberg]

1.

[Brady]

Mine aren't too bad today. We'll play it. Okay, what's going to happen next?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, we're going to play what's going to happen next. All right, it's a guy with an Edgar haircut in an IOD T shirt and another guy who got birthday cake there at and T shirt.

[Toledo]

He's going to get buried into the cake.

[John Holmberg]

He's got a massive birthday cake. Oh, we're playing right now. What's going to happen next. All right, Brady, go ahead.

[Brett]

I think someone is going to get bukaki.

[John Holmberg]

Wow. Write that down as. I didn't expect that, but I hope you're right, because that would be pretty awesome.

[Toledo]

They're in a grass hut.

[John Holmberg]

They're in a grass hut. Grass hut. Bukkake is a great band name. All right, the grass hut tells me that we're about to have a massive fire starting with his stupid Edgar haircut.

[Toledo]

Oh, I like that. Okay.

[John Holmberg]

Toledo.

[Toledo]

I just think he was going to be smashed all the way through the cake, too.

[John Holmberg]

It's a big, tall cake. All right, let's go and see if Edgar. What happens to Edgar Bukake? Fire or smash? Oh, they just smashed him in. Oh, there's a dildo in it. They smashed his face. In the great picture, he's throwing it at people, and then he gets a huge. Oh, he's mad. They mush him down there, and he pulls it out with his mouth. It immediately goes in his mouth, and he gets furious at everybody. Terrible throw. Bounces off the roof. And then he throws it again. That's great. It went right in his mouth. That was a perfect shot. Hilarious.

[Brady]

I don't know. I don't even get this one.

[John Holmberg]

All right, here's stupid. A girl taking off her shoes. She's holding her shoe. Guy's got his pee pee out. He's gonna pee in her shoe. It appears he's gonna pee in her shoe. Is he peeing? Yeah. It's a serial killer. He's peeing in her shoe, Filling her shoe with pee. She's gonna drink that. Is this what happens next, too? She's gonna drink dishes, is she? No, she's just gonna put it right back on. Full of urine. It's one of those sketcher slip ons. Yeah. There's an additional. Yeah. I don't understand why. And she.

[Brady]

I don't understand why.

[John Holmberg]

She's pushing down into it. And then there's just pee in her shoe trend. Gross. What the. All right, next.

[Brett]

It's a new soft shoe.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I guess I was. Nothing worse than a wet shoe. All right, we're on top of a building, looking down at a guy who's hanging off a ledge about two stories below us. He's hanging on. I don't know if he wants to. Oh, he's. Oh, somebody's holding him. Somebody's holding him. Oh, he's been let go. He let go. Oh, my go. We got the whole thing on tape. Oh, who films this stuff?

[Brett]

Two more feet who have been in the hedge.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it was so close to just a Disney ending. But no, he missed and cement won. Geez Louise, put the phone down. Okay, here's somebody lighting a firecracker out of there already. Just wrapped around the crank. Oh, my God. They're wrapped around his penis. They're tied to his penis. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. And the girl's just laughing, having the time of her life. Yeah. No, that thing is blown up. Oh, my God.

[Brady]

Kids these days.

[John Holmberg]

Come on, man.

[Brett]

No slant on that.

[John Holmberg]

I don't use no slant.

[Brady]

Here's a little spinner for you.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, where is she? Cute girl, walking along some train tracks. Just went to the do not enter area. She's getting down on the train tracks. It's like some sort of subway. She's running down there. Here comes the train. I bet we see her again. But she's gonna be going fast the other way. She's off the screen now. I don't like. The anticipation of. This is brutal. It's just a surveillance camera of train tracks, and a girl is now missing. Here she comes running back. Here comes a train. Oh, it's too late. But watch. There's more. Oh, she shoots out into the. Oh, she's just rolling and trips.

[Brady]

That trips that one.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And as the train goes through the next entry point, she's still attached to the side of it, rolling along and knocks another girl over. Oh, my Lord. Why? Oh, my God. Ha.

[Brady]

This one's just dumb, AI. All right, well, we could watch.

[John Holmberg]

Sure. An Indian speedrunner. He's gonna win. Chased by deodorant. All right, that's just awful. I like the shower Olympics, this guy says. I'm Matt, your local Mormon LDS expert. The Mormon doctrine dictates that they cannot drink hot and cold drinks and partake in drugs and stuff like that. It's called the Word of Wisdom. And the Word of Wisdom came about about when Brigham Young's wife got sick cleaning up spittoons after the meetings. And she bitched at them enough that he finally wrote in a church doctrine to stop chewing tobacco. I don't know enough about it to tell you that how they added hot and cold drinks. But there you go, your Mormon fact of the day. Okay, I didn't know that Brigham Young and Joseph Smith's wife, they. They seem sort of out on the whole thing. Mrs. Young's been nagging me pretty heavy about the whole spittoon deal. If you guys are gonna chew that stuff, don't. You know what? Let's just make it so God hates it. Yeah, I just heard from God again. He told me no more chewing tobacco. Oh, but we love it. I know. God hates it, though. Stop doing it or you're gonna go to hell. Is that better, Gladys? Are you happy now? Thank you, Brigham.

[Brady]

Can you give the word again? All these idiots miss gig.

[John Holmberg]

First time Gig. It's gig. Gig, Gig. There you go. Anyway, that, my friends, is your Brady Report. Stay off the trains and stay away from coffee. It's 98 Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station. You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you here in this glorious thing? This guy emailed me and he said, talking about that the neighbor documentary. Perfect neighbor we were talking about earlier said he had a neighbor that was crazy that shot one of the kids in the neighborhood when he was younger back in New York. He said we always were told not to bother him. Of course we bothered him and he snapped and shot one of the kids. I'm like, oh, yeah, that documentary, it's a strange one because just leave. Leave people alone who. Leave people alone. Who has to be left alone? Especially when your kids are involved because somebody's. They're gonna snap. You're gonna lose everybody like they are in this contest. Gig is the word for eight o'. Clock. Guess what? That's over now, too. Here's me crumpling up that paper and we go on to the nine o' clock word in just a little bit, which hopefully will be a precursor. I still didn't understand what happened yesterday, but evidently we. One of the Days we had everybody. Because I just got Donovan just text me. He goes, you prick. You told me that was computer was working yesterday because his. His app said it wasn't registering. And I said it's working for everybody else. Just reset it.

[Brady]

It was for a while though.

[John Holmberg]

It was working. So in our defense, the whole thing was on and then something happened where it all got deleted. I still don't understand any of that. I don't think anybody does. And then. So we'll add a day. So yesterday was a wash. If you entered yesterday, Toledo just wasted your time. It was. It's a tough one. Tripp Reeves already come in this morning. Not in LA stuff. Credit to Trip for being a good.

[Brett]

Sport wearing the LA blue.

[John Holmberg]

Well, he's. Well, he's. He's.

[Brett]

It's.

[John Holmberg]

But it's subtle. You wouldn't know if he was. If you. Yeah, he's cripping. If he was out at a restaurant, you wouldn't go, oh, Dodger fan. But he still came in. Wasn't necessarily a huge fan of the Wake up stage song this morning of Loudness, the Japanese tribute to Shohei Ohtani. And of course, Toledo had to sit quietly while one of the members of this gargantuan radio station is celebrating his team's trip to the World Series. While Toledo sits back in a puddle of his own misery. It's a tough one. It's flat out tough. Maybe we can give Toledo the money from yesterday's goof. No, no, wait. He's got to sell those tickets. I still think we to need. We need to come up with an idea for Rich to get his money back for those tickets, but have to somehow or another punish him for the jinxing of his team. We all know as sports fans, you cannot buy because somebody just emailed me and it makes tons of sense. He goes, hey, the Seahawks look good last night. Did Toledo get tickets to the super bowl yet? True, you would never do that. But he bought World Series tickets after The Mariners went up 2.0and now he's just got World Series tickets. He's got to unload and hopefully that benefits him financially in some way, shape or form. First thing I'm going to do is consult the IRS and make sure that Toledo is up and up on this. I think the first thing we should do is make sure the IRS is aware of Toledo's wins and losses on this ticket sale. So we'll keep a close eye on that. But they're only 2,400 bucks because they're way out there. In right field, like 12 rows of up. You know, when the. Like when Vin Scully would watch a home run go over right field, he goes. There's a deep drive deep into the night sky. That's where Toledo's sitting. I was like, that. That's. That's his seat. Deep into the night sky would be. I think that's the section he's in. Well, here your seats deep into the night sky. Row 12, seat Z, right behind that pole. But he's gonna try to get rid of those poor bastard. And it's hard to be in a room with somebody who's just had that happen, you know, kicking the nuts. It is. It's just brutal. Like they just. It's just a tough one. And he's clearly not happy today. He's not angry. It's just a sadness that kind of follows him around like the girl from inside out. And I know I've gotten a few emails from some people who don't like Toledo that are relishing his sadness today. And my personal opinion.

[Brady]

Paula.

[John Holmberg]

Paula has been. You know what? I gotta hand it to her. Paula has not emailed in and said anything terrible. I'm sure she wants to. She may be too euphoric to type, might have to take a day. But knowing that Toledo is at least sports suicidal today, it's a tough thing. We're gonna give you another word in just a little bit, the nine o' clock word. So you can.

[Brett]

She could have celebrated too hard last night, too.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it could be. She might have right after the home run. She might have just gone crazy watching the Mariners whiff it all the way through the night, then striking out the side, and then the Blue Jays celebrating. She probably hit the H pretty hard right then and there. So Paula's probably not up tomorrow. She'll be back tomorrow. The word coming up at 9 o' clock will be the last one for the morning. And then of course, you know, you can take it in the app starting at 2 later today with Shan or. Nope, Shan, man's gone. Fitz is back, back. Fitz is back now. And he'll have the words for you. Also at 2, if you haven't been playing along, all you got to do is hop on there, stick the word in the promo code, and guess what? You're automatically qualified. There's no more hoops to jump through. Brett, do we have tickets to Dunham in there today?

[Brett]

We did last week.

[John Holmberg]

Did we today? And just to be nice for yesterday, I think right now we should hand over if they're in there. I'm pretty sure they are. Eh. Are they? Oh, we're waiting for the computer to load up because we screwed you yesterday. We wasted your time yesterday morning. I thought maybe just a nice gesture for us. No.

[Brady]

We have a day to remember tickets.

[John Holmberg]

We'll give you a day to Remember tickets. How about that? You call us right now, we'll take the 10th caller. 585 9, 800. 10th caller. As a makeup for our screw up yesterday that I really wasn't part of. But I'll fix it. Our computer's broke. Everything you did yesterday didn't matter. So how about a day to remember? If you want to go 585-9800, you can do the 10th call right now and we'll hand those tickets directly to you. It's 98 Holmberg's morning sickness. There we go. Oh my God. I woke the beast up there. Toledo. Sorry, Paula, the Toledo hater has finally emailed him. She goes, did you miss. Did you miss my first email this morning? She goes, I'm not gonna give a dumbass Toledo a dumbass pass. But that guy Chris who emailed in wanted him fired. And then bwaha is written all over my screen, says nothing could top this. Have a nice day. Toledo signed Paul the Toledo hater taking a swing at you on your worst day response.

[Toledo]

Eat a dick, Paula.

[John Holmberg]

That's right, Paula. Eat the dick. And a few other people have tried to take swings at you and we've been.

[Toledo]

There's a lot. Last night.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, were they hitting you good?

[Toledo]

Oh.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. See, that's where social media is just evil.

[Toledo]

It was email.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, they just took time to email you at home. Oh, you had your phone email on your phone?

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, man. And you checked it?

[Brett]

Yeah. Put that.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, put it down.

[Toledo]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

Why dive in? Anyway, Toledo's having a rough day because the Mariners fell, succumbed to his jinx and the Emerald City turned Tory last night. Toledo did it. It's his fault. Have you bought super bowl tickets like that guy? Because the Seahawks won last night. I'm going to go watch some. I don't know, Brad, if you want to go with two, me and a friend of mine are going to watch some Fall league baseball today if you want to tackle. Like, I know you love baseball, so you want to come watch some.

[Toledo]

Like I said to Paula, eat a dick.

[John Holmberg]

There's some guys still playing if you're interested in watching.

[Toledo]

And like I said to you, why? So in five years I can see the people who are going to crush my Soul again.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know who's playing for the javelinas or the Solar Sox, but a couple of them probably are Mariner prospects. So you can. Your uniform on a baseball field actually. Still playing, if you're interested. So you can jinx those kids as you mush your way onto that stadium floor. Also, I don't want to. I don't want to insult the injury, but your wife's a teacher.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Didn't we give them a raise a couple years ago?

[Toledo]

Well, brief race.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brett]

It took it back.

[Toledo]

It's fallen back.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it did. We only gave.

[Toledo]

It was only a temporary.

[John Holmberg]

We gave him a loan.

[Toledo]

It was only temporary.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't know that. Well, good, because we got no results from that little temporary bump. I know the. The. The results are in from last year. And most. This is not a good headline. Most Arizona public school students have failed the state standardized test. Most. Not some. More than half.

[Brady]

I just make the test easier. What the hell?

[John Holmberg]

That's exactly what we need to do for the teachers. So I'm glad they lost their money. I'm glad. Teachers, I'm glad you lost your money because when we gave you the money, you begged for and clogged our streets with market.

[Brett]

So they got the bump and then now they're making less money.

[Toledo]

Well, the bump was temporary.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it was just a little bit steep. Let's see how you do.

[Brett]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

And they went from like 47th in the nation to 49th. So we took the money away. And rightfully so. Teachers, you're doing a terrible job because the headline says most Arizona students have failed. Now, I know it's not fair for a lot of these teachers who are good at it to combo up with the Chinle public high school system, because I imagine that one's not too well funded. So if they're bringing the curve down, it's time for you to get loud. But, yeah, I'd like your. I'd like your wife to start a payment plan back to me for kicking in on that hole. You guys are going to do a better job. I know. If I gave Brett.

[Toledo]

Wait a minute. If I. If I show you the results from her class and they're better than that, does that mean she gets to keep her money?

[John Holmberg]

You know what? On an individual basis, that's not a bad idea. A little one on one action, nothing will ever happen. You know what? I think I'm going to go one on one with every teacher in Arizona's public school system, and then I'm going to get Some of my money back.

[Brady]

Back when we get Super Nintendo on this.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

What's going on?

[John Holmberg]

Why is she Maricopa county bog. Super Nintendo bogs.

[Toledo]

I don't know. I think it must be Maricopa County.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Because the state guys, that Tom, the dude whose suits are too big for him now because he lost some weight. I don't know if he got sick or he lost weight. I want to make fun of that, but his suits are way too big. His neck, it looks like a Wallace.

[Brady]

And Tom, skim a little money and get some new suits.

[John Holmberg]

What are you doing? Yeah, do like other politicians do, Tom. Skim man. Anyway, most of your kids are dumb is what. I just read a headline, and congratulations. Now I don't have to listen to all you people talk about how smart your kids are, yours are different, or anything else. Stats are in. Odds are. If I say your kid's dumb, I've got something to back that up. Standardized test box. So I want my money back from the teachers. You can start a line here at 1100 North. 50 seconds.

[Brady]

Bring your results.

[John Holmberg]

I want to see. Show me your papers. I want to see your test results for your classes. And if. And if. Look again. I think I'd quit if a headline read, most morning shows beat Holmer's morning sickness. That would be like, oh, geez, there's like, 46 of them.

[Toledo]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And that would mean 44 are winning, and I'm like, 45th. I'd be like, I don't think I'm cut out for this. So if most of my students have failed the test, I'm gonna quit.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You'd stick around if.

[Brett]

Well, no, most of. Well, if you're. If the employee that you're working for still wants you employed. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

But they suck, too.

[Brett]

Most. You're gonna walk away?

[Toledo]

I don't know if that points to a bright future.

[John Holmberg]

I was gonna say it doesn't, but.

[Brett]

What. What are you doing replacing that money?

[John Holmberg]

Because Home Depot, they don'. Money.

[Brett]

If you're at that level, Amazon probably can't afford to lose the job.

[Toledo]

Amazon?

[John Holmberg]

No, you can go get any job and replace teacher money. They don't make enough. It's an entry level.

[Brett]

I think it's bank of America. They've gone to 25.

[John Holmberg]

25 bucks an hour. I heard that commercial, too. Oh, yeah. You could do that. Yeah. I mean, and a bumper stickers. Most of them failed the standardized test, too. Yeah.

[Brady]

You fit right in.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you'll know. These kids, you probably taught a lot of them how not to be adults. It's pretty good stuff. But yeah, if most of the things.

[Brett]

You'Re at that point in the radio side of the it, you I don't think you'll have much of a choice. That company's saying if most of them are beating you, you're not going to be there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well, you would hope so. But if most of the students are doing it, they need and they can't fire anybody because nobody's coming up, it's the same as radio. Nobody's coming up through the ranks. So you're stuck with these deadbeat loser teachers who can't get it done. And now most of the kids are failing. Donovan has an interesting take. It said it all went to hell the second Britney Zamora went to jail. Jail. That's true. I mean there is statistics to point to the fact that once we arrested that little angel, the score started to fall. I mean at least the kids used to be motivated to try before they wanted to impress their teacher. Man, that be she puts out, they.

[Brett]

All are way above the average.

[John Holmberg]

Do we Sexy teachers put her away. Better grades for sexy teachers. I don't know how it works, but I know I want my money back. I remember you guys clogging up streets and again, I hate those marches. Clogging up streets on a holiday, if I remember right, wearing your stupid red shirts and wandering around and it might have been a Suns game that day. It was pretty hot. I remember they did it in June and I'm like, ah, marches. And they got their way. To their credit, they had an agenda, they had a goal and they got it. And then they teacher that did the.

[Brett]

Shirts was able to retire.

[John Holmberg]

That's not. Yeah, the guy that made all those red shirts was like, I can finally see. Stop being a mother teacher. That was horrible. Yeah, Brady's right. Bank of America's running ad saying they, they kick in 25 bucks an hour at their minimum wage and you're just.

[Brady]

Kicking Toledo in the nuts today between the Mariners. And now he's gonna go home and.

[John Holmberg]

Deal with the wife and his thieving wife. You're right, man. And I love Lisa, but she stole money from me. Cuz she was out loud about it, that I could afford it. You could afford it? I'm like, sure, I could do a better job.

[Toledo]

She said that to you?

[John Holmberg]

No, she said it to you. And you told me, oh, oops, take money from guys like John because he can afford it. It was a joke, but still. Okay, well now you can.

[Brady]

You want results for your Money is what you're saying.

[John Holmberg]

You get a dollar for every. Every f student, two for every d, three for every. And I'll be. You know, we get like 14 bucks by the end of the day.

[Toledo]

I just want my money goes back to you. Year Covid plan. Parents just want the kids out of their house.

[John Holmberg]

This is an awesome thing guy sent me goes in Indiana. They just did a study. And all the schools in this particular group, it's got this big chart of things. It's like, you know, school spending per student and school enrollment and shows all the number of the kids. And it says number of students who are reading proficiently for their grade. And it's just. Just all zeros down the. Not one of them can read. Indiana can't read. But I'll tell you this in fairness. Indiana, I went to school there when I was a little kid. Indiana's never been able to read. I don't know if you've ever been there before. They can't read.

[Brady]

Well, they're holding strong now. They're just keeping in a level playing field.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they. They're consistent. Yeah. But Arizona wants. I want my money back public or quit your jobs again. This my call out to the public school teachers to finally quit their jobs. And then w I n Win. Win. I know I'd have to read that to you. Or an Arizona public school teacher win. If you're proud that you beat Mississippi in a learning derby, you've got a low bar.

[Toledo]

Have you been to Mississippi?

[John Holmberg]

No. I know. And we're just barely beating them.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[Brady]

I mean, we're losing to, like, Alabama and Arkansas.

[John Holmberg]

49Th. Oh, they wanted more money.

[Brady]

We got a bunch of dump.

[John Holmberg]

If I. If I gave Brett a bunch of money and said this is temporary but start performing it, maybe it's permanent. And Brett actually started to decrease his volume and his output. You can expect that to go away, right? We give raises to people who are losing. So more importantly, Brett, high five. We don't have dumb kids like 53% of Arizona's public school school parents. It's pathetic. It's 919. We got hot releases coming up. Oh, what happened?

[Brady]

If they can afford preemptive world series tickets, then they make enough.

[Toledo]

They. They.

[John Holmberg]

It would be you and your wife. Yeah, that's true.

[Toledo]

I never asked for your money.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no, that's true. Well, Toledo never says, hey, I want more from you. You have asked for loans in the past. That was a long time ago when that other wife of yours was swiping the world Blind. At least Lisa had the different time. Lisa had the decency to ask. Your other wife just took it. She went to the who scow. We got the hot releases coming up in just a little bit. Put it in the promo code box. Win W I N. That is the 9 o' clock word. Hot release is coming up next. Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station. You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? Flying through the 9 o' clock hour. You got three more minutes to put the word win in for the 9 o' clock code and take it in the app. Then Fitz is gonna come back here at 2 o' clock and start doing it all over again. So a couple more minutes, get wind if you haven't done it yet on the app and knock that silly. I say knock it silly. Good luck to all of you. Winners will be announced someday. Welcome, Pearl. Even times now, I got him in my head. I used to have to run public affairs programs for koi, the jazz station. Coyote, another urban station that Brett loved so much. Kiss 12:30, the rhythm of the city. I was the voice of that station. Somehow, occasionally I was on that radio station.

[Brett]

I had numerous clients.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, and Brady would sell a lot of bridal fair and diapers and baby shoes to that stage.

[Brett]

Live music. Shars has the blues.

[John Holmberg]

And there was a guy we had who was his amazingly kind man. I used to have to do this tape for him. And it was brand new in radio. His name was George D. And George did Phoenix Urban League. I still don't know what that is. I don't think I was ever invited, to be honest. But he'd come in and goes, hello, John. We had a record today, like, hi, George, ready to go? Oh, I'm always ready to go. And this was like 1997, 6. And George would grab the newspaper and open it directly to the weather. And you'd hear that, hey, welcome to Valley Urban Towns. I'm George Dean. Had the Phoenix Overland League, let's take a look at the weather. And he'd open it up, he goes, today is going to be 80 degrees. I mean, a nice night tonight. Gonna be about 62 tomorrow. Expect more of that beautiful day and by the time Sunday rolls around. Now, keep in mind, he was taping this on a Wednesday and it would air Sunday morning at 6. So he did the weather from Wednesday to Sunday even though all those days were already way past him. And we never told him that that was something he should Stop doing it. Took up like the first 11 minutes of the Valley's Urban times, as he called it. Welcome Urban Times. McCollen and I, my friend Colin and I still can't walk into a place that has the word welcome on the door without looking at each other and go, welcome, welcome, Colin, welcome. John, he was the nicest person ever, but he gave the. The weather report for days that had already happened. So it was super accurate for the most part.

[Brett]

It wasn't like a review. Let's take a look at the weather. Here was happened this past week.

[John Holmberg]

Here was the risk. And we ran into this a couple of times on Wednesday. It might have been nice and they might have been projecting nice days ahead. But sometimes, as we all know in Arizona, there's a surprise. So he would say, Friday going to be about 85 degrees of heat coming back and be a nice day. Friday, come in. Well, it wasn't. Friday was like 68 and it was pouring hail and it was a nightmare. It was terrifying. Like winter weather came rolling in early and. But on Sunday, Friday was a nice day. Friday gonna be beautiful. And I don't know why he gave that weather report. We never stopped him ever. For years. Nicest person I've. I think it was because he was so nice. He might have gotten upset. If we're like, George, what do you do that weather for 11 minutes? It airs on Sunday. You're given the weather for the week. That was already. Nobody understands. I guess my show's not very good then I should quit. No, no, no, George. He only had weather to talk about. He was so nice. I don't. There's no way he's still with us. He was an older man, but man, oh man, do I miss doing those public affairs. And I used to have to run that show's tape all the way down the hall to run it on Koi and then get it on Kiss 1230. There he is. There's my man. Is he still around? It looks like it. All right. George, one of the nicest people I've ever met in my life, raised to run his show and the Sunday morning at 4:30 and 5, back and forth, switching tapes at other stations. And then I just skipped Kiss 12:30, the rhythm of the city, because it was again, like I said, it was six in the morning on a Sunday. Nobody was listening to R and B. Just gonna enjoy some quiet here while John runs around trying to get the tapes of the Irving League straight. George Dean says It's to be 65 yesterday and he was Right. Nailed it. George is excellent at yesterday's weather today. John's still running up and down the hall like a madman, but he seems to be ignoring Kiss 1230, the rhythm of the city for some reason. I think he assumes you're all still asleep. Well, Lou Rawls doesn't. He's about to sing to you and your lady while you snore right through. Post that as long.

[Brett]

That needs to be a billboard. Yesterday's weather yesterday, weather today.

[John Holmberg]

George Dean will give you yesterday's weather today. Maybe George wasn't old. Maybe he just seemed old to me. But he was, man, he was. I. He would never remember me, but I would. I would love to have, like, just a moment, his email here just so you would go whack him. Of course I remember you, Jimmy. All right, close enough.

[Brady]

Happy birthday.

[John Holmberg]

Happy birthday, Jimmy.

[Toledo]

Hate when this show goes on.

[John Holmberg]

Political rants. I know. Libtard mega freaks. Anyway, it's time now for the hot releases. Gotta do them quick because I wouldn't shut up. Brett's faulty. Reminded me of sorry, though I used and I did. Maybe it was bigotry, Brett, that I would skip 12:30 because I'm like, no one's gonna notice at 6 in the morning if I screw the tapes up on that one. But coyote and boy Koi notice if. If Pat McMahon's God Hour ran one minute late, that phone lit up.

[Brady]

Well, that was lunchtime to them. I mean, six in the morning, it's.

[John Holmberg]

Pat McMahon and this is the God hour. And the worst thing about Pat McMahon's God Hour. Two tapes, half hour, half hour.

[Brady]

It was like Frampton comes alive double album transition.

[John Holmberg]

We'll be back with more God hour in less than eight seconds. And my hands were just speeding through it. And then there was another one where a preacher just went on after Pat McMahon for 30 minutes and yelled at Homer Simpson. He was so. He was so mad at the Simpsons. His whole show was like, welcome. I forget religious freedoms. Homer Simpson on Sunday said something that I think just destroys the family fabric. And I'm like, well, he's mad at Homer again. Oh, with his doze and his strangulations of his bar. Is this really where society is going to go with the Homer Simpsons of the world screaming out dough every time they blow up the kitchen oven? I don't think that is the direction we choose.

[Toledo]

Homo Simpsons.

[John Holmberg]

Homo Simpsons. I was tired of it. Yes. I did not care for that episode. I like the first three seasons. Santa's little help always makes me laugh. Half he was so pissed at the Simpsons. I would sit and listen to that guy. Anyway, it's the hot releases are brought to you by our [e-mail]. you can save thousands, save time. Buy online. New ac.unit.com brings you the hot releases. Toledo. We'll start with you. Bring it out. All right.

[Toledo]

You remember, I think it was a couple years ago, we found this game called Power Washer.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah.

[Toledo]

Well, power Wash Simulator 2 is now.

[John Holmberg]

You know, I was so excited about getting it. It's just you power washing.

[Toledo]

That's all it is.

[John Holmberg]

With super power washers, like roller coasters and fun parks.

[Brady]

Train these kids for their next job.

[John Holmberg]

Yes, but they don't work. They do it on video games. And when you're done, there's like a satisfaction of how clean everything is in your filthy room.

[Toledo]

What do you get rated? You missed a spot or something?

[John Holmberg]

Like, do you have a timer? I don't know.

[Brett]

You can take your time.

[John Holmberg]

You just literally hose dirt off of old buildings and probably it just gets a little harder. As you would pants.

[Toledo]

Like, how filthy is this stuff, man?

[John Holmberg]

But look at that. It's so beautiful at the end. Look at that. Piano Tower Wash. Piano Mary.

[Brady]

Bill's looking good now.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that house looks nice now. This is the Doug Hopkins after he buys your house.

[Toledo]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. How about that? Yeah.

[Toledo]

So that's out this week.

I don't remember. Oh, yeah.

[Toledo]

The him.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Adam.

[Toledo]

Whatever.

[John Holmberg]

Something. The guy from the OC and of course, the answer is gonna be no.

[Brett]

Brody.

[John Holmberg]

Brody. Adam Brody. There you go. Breaking news. You're in a psychotically annoying relationship. Way to make all our single listeners feel bad. The relationship isn't solid until you're out of the honeymoon phase. When you merge your lives and you blend your front. This is about girls. Just girls writing.

[Toledo]

I think it's. I think it's for your people because I think he's Jewish in this. Yeah, I think he's Jewish. I think he's a rabbi, actually.

[Brett]

It's for your people.

[Toledo]

It's not.

[John Holmberg]

Rabbis don't make out with Gen teals.

[Brady]

Well, they do produce this or what?

[John Holmberg]

Yes, they do. They make out with all sorts of different types of ladies on a tapestry of puss. A quilt, if you will, of different pussy.

[Toledo]

Stick with tapestry. That sounds you like the tapestry of pussy.

[Brett]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

That's a good opening band for Kiss on hbo.

[Toledo]

This debuts on Sunday. Welcome to Derry. Kind of an amalgamation of all Stephen King's stuff.

[John Holmberg]

From. From Dairy Maine. Right.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

It's got Shawshank in it. It's got the dog Cujo. Got the cemetery. It's got all of.

[Brady]

It's Christine roll up too, in the parking lot.

[John Holmberg]

He's not part of this. Outside of giving them permission to write. Welcome to.

[Toledo]

Yeah, I think so.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I. Yeah, but it's a bunch of horrible things that happened to the residents of Derry based on a bunch of Stephen King.

[Brady]

Doesn't look too bad.

[Toledo]

There's a.

[John Holmberg]

It's a good idea. It's sort of what Fargo did where they took the ideas of what the Cohen brothers have done and incorporated into a show. You don't like him much down here. Welcome to Dairy. And that's on what?

[Toledo]

That's on HBO on. Starts on Sunday.

[Brady]

He didn't do it right. He did most of his movies.

[John Holmberg]

No, they're terrible. He just gave him the thumbs up and said, take my ideas and go.

[Brett]

No.

[Toledo]

Another author is out with her latest. Anne Rice's Talamaska, the Secret Order.

[John Holmberg]

Isn't Anne Rice, like vampire? Thousands of years old, though.

[Toledo]

Or maybe she's not.

[John Holmberg]

That was Twilight. Well, we appreciate that's what I mean.

[Toledo]

She didn't write those.

[John Holmberg]

No, I don't think so.

[Brett]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

And this is about.

[Toledo]

I can help you with another vampire type show.

[John Holmberg]

There's only so much I can share. Your spy?

[Brett]

No.

[John Holmberg]

CIA. MI6. We want to hire you.

[Toledo]

Check several boxes, you're orphaned, secretive, smart.

[John Holmberg]

And live a rare time. Espionage.

[Toledo]

Latest addition to the immortal universe and follows up on the groundwork laid in. Interview with The Vampire, Season 2. The series focuses on the titular secret organization that tracks supernatural creatures across the globe and stars Nicholas Denton as an aspiring lawyer who suddenly finds himself becoming Talamasca's new recruit. So, Immortal. CIA, I guess. This one debuts on Netflix and I think it might be on Apple. Or it was produced by them. This is a house of dynamite. This is Katherine Bigelow's latest movie.

[John Holmberg]

Keeps the world Straight. She did the Bomb Heart Locker. They see how prepared we are when.

[Toledo]

A single unattributed missile is launched at the United States. A race begins to determine who is responsible and how to respond.

[John Holmberg]

We'd know in seconds.

[Toledo]

Well, that's the point of this. Like, they don't know exactly who the perpetrator is. Even though it came from. From Russia or Eastern Asia.

[John Holmberg]

Approximately three minutes ago, we detected an ICBM over the Pacific.

[Toledo]

Just one.

[John Holmberg]

It's North Korea. It's an excuse to get whoever you hate in the continental United States. Yeah.

[Toledo]

It's supposedly. That's what. How. How this deals with.

[John Holmberg]

Is this real? I hate how they always make the people who do this for a living scared when the missiles come in. Yeah.

[Toledo]

That's what they train for their whole life, you know.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

We're short on time, so that's all I got for you.

[John Holmberg]

There you go. Go ahead. You grab that.

[Brady]

My turn. All right. I'll try to make it quick as.

[John Holmberg]

New.

[Brady]

Something for a new music from the Acacia Strain. This is Holy Moonlight.

[John Holmberg]

A guy I rode bikes with once had this on his handlebars. I wanted to go the other way. It's too much anxiety when you're trying to concentrate on something that can hurt you.

[Toledo]

Didn't you do this with Terror, though?

[John Holmberg]

Terror is not like this.

[Toledo]

Oh, no.

[John Holmberg]

The Acacia Strain is actually fairly melodic for this style. But it gets.

[Toledo]

I don't know what style this is.

[John Holmberg]

When you're just trying to enjoy the day. Yeah. And maybe get a little extra energy.

[Toledo]

Aggro.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. This is.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

This gets to be that. What do they call that? Toxic masculinity. Lubed hard. I know. But it is.

[Toledo]

It's just being political.

[John Holmberg]

Too much testosterone.

[Brady]

Here's Deez Nuts.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Five gold chains. That's why I picked it.

[John Holmberg]

Let me kill. I got a guess.

[Brady]

Let Me kill that one.

[John Holmberg]

The name of it.

[Brady]

Yeah. Tell me if you can think of who this. What song this is.

[John Holmberg]

It's an AI song.

[Brady]

It's a rap song.

[Brett]

Oh, no.

[Brady]

Done in 70s hard rock.

[John Holmberg]

Does it lose yourself.

[Brady]

Oh, you're gonna. You're gonna ask yourself.

[John Holmberg]

Damn it. Parents just don't understand. Damn it. Easy. Nope. Double damage, Houdini. All right, stop what you're doing. Digital Underground. This is awesome. It works. This is AI. Come on. Come on. I'm getting to where I'm liking the AI world more than my own. It's scary. That's awesome. Damn it, Brett. Every week.

[Brett]

Yeah. The intro is so hard get when you get into it.

[John Holmberg]

I just kept hearing the D and it was repetitive. I'm like, that's like Eminem. But nope, not even close.

[Brady]

Here's country boys in the hood.

[John Holmberg]

Is easy E. Is this clean?

[Brady]

Yeah, I. I don't know how clean it is.

[John Holmberg]

Woke up quick at about noon Just thought that I had to be in Compton so I gotta get drunk before the day begin before my mother starts bitching about my friend. All right, I'm gonna leave it right there.

[Brady]

We need to play that for Dale. Yeah, he won't catch that one.

[Brett]

All right.

[Brady]

[John Holmberg]

Dad, Daddy.

[Brady]

Oh, let's go.

[John Holmberg]

That's. Lil John is in this. I'm gonna say F word, Brady.

[Brett]

Angry N word.

[Toledo]

Okay, well, I guess that leaves all the kind.

[John Holmberg]

Colloquial or the mother.

[Toledo]

No, I'll go colloquially.

[Brady]

And it comes up like they're both back to back. Just which one's first?

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady]

And it is kind of quick, so.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, here we. There we go. I got it.

[Brady]

Who had the F word?

[John Holmberg]

I went again, man. And it was. Yeah, There was only one word separated. Yes. The F from the angry end.

[Brady]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

Tight, tight battle this week. But once again, I come out on top. AI, you are becoming my best friend. Yeah, no, I'm going to listen to that with you. We got the entertainment drill coming up next. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful, powerful, rock rich radio station. You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you, pd? Damn you, Brett. Double damage. All right. He just made me picture. What? Oh, yeah. Inside business. But Brett just hit me right as the mics came off. Damn you, Brett. It's time for the end. I can't stop picturing he just put someone in charge of a position that they have no business in. And it made me laugh hysterically to think of this insane Bostonian in charge of our entire sales operation. It is time now for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our [e-mail] the home of Tactical Black. Where's your home? I'll tell you where my home is. Oh, no. Oh, our manager's drunk again now. I hope it's the home of Tactical Black.

[Brett]

Michael Keaton was paid 2 million for a cameo and Batgirl movie that never got released.

[John Holmberg]

Did it really? I remember she was Batgirl was not.

[Brett]

But we saw Michelle. She was.

[John Holmberg]

No, that was a Catwoman. Oh, okay.

[Brett]

Was she Batgirl with the one with Chris o'? Donnell? It was Batman and Robin.

[John Holmberg]

She was Batgirl. Then they made the movie. I don't remember it. But being. I don't know. That's why I'm asking. I don't remember it. I wouldn't have gone to seeing that.

[Brett]

Benicio del Toro got 5 million for a movie called American Gangster. He wasn't even in it.

[Brady]

Great.

[Brett]

The movie got delayed, then he was replaced. But he had a pay to play deal.

[John Holmberg]

Isn't that the Denzel movie?

[Brady]

Yeah, Denzel and Josh Brolin. And they scratched him.

An anonymous cyber squatter has owned a slipknot.com since 2001 and has been using it to make money off the band. Slipknot is suing to gain control of the website and are also seeking financial damages. The Slipknot has been forced to use slipknot1.com. But since this guy's been making money off the band, they should have just.

[John Holmberg]

Gone with the vin Diesel. We're slipknot.com. good one, Vin. That's a take. All right, that's enough.

I know the Flash movie. I'm just saying I didn't know any of that. Imagine they had the wherewithal back in the day to shelf a movie that they didn't think was good. Hey, D.C. and Marvel. What happened to that?

[Brett]

Because I remember Steve Batgirl, Alicia Silverstone and one of those Batmans.

[John Holmberg]

But.

[Brett]

But how bad Never did the spin off.

[John Holmberg]

How bad did it have to be that they released Daredevil and shot this one down? Half the movies they've put out are horrible. The DC world was bad. That's it. Larry would tell you different. He probably liked that one. He didn't like Suicide Squad. I don't think. I don't remember.

[Brett]

I played her one time.

[John Holmberg]

You're Harley. You did it. Yeah. That was great. And you looked as good as most of the people who tried. That's it.

[Brett]

It was tough to find the outfit.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you had to knit it yourself. I remember it was very soft.

[Brett]

The shirt I got, it came like.
