Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Allergy Solutions & Online Medicine

2. Pop Culture News – The Entertainment Drill (03:00)

  “I dabble in Botox, but I gotta be careful because I need my forehead to act.” – Brady quoting Jennifer Lawrence (04:48)

Kourtney Kardashian's “Vaginal Health Lollipops”

• The crew pokes fun at Kourtney Kardashian’s newest business: lollipops and gummies aimed at vaginal health.
• Teasing ensues about flavor, with John quickly clarifying:

  “They don’t taste like that, do they? They're not the flavor of these things?” – John (05:35)

• The segment turns into extended jokes about the product and its marketing angle.

3. Toledo’s World Series Ticket Fiasco

Final Update and Resolution (05:42 – 11:06)

• Toledo finally sells his extra World Series tickets at a loss:

  “Toledo salt is done. Off the hook. How much? Yeah, two grand. So you’re down 400 bucks.” – John (05:44) “Down six, 20.” – Toledo (05:50)

• The group mercilessly analyzes Toledo's process—offering the tickets to “Thriller,” a friend, then selling them out from under him when a buyer materialized.

  “Would you have done that if Thriller said yes and they sold like, oh, yeah, you’re out.” – John (06:22) “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right away.” – Toledo (06:30) “What a dick.” – John (06:33)

• Banter about etiquette and remorse follows, with the crew painting scenarios where Thriller books flights only to be let down.

  “Pulling the rug out from under a one legged man. What an asshole.” – John (06:35)

• They compare the emotional stakes to kidney donations in escalation parody:

  “Hey Brady, I got a kidney I want to give you. No, wait, I sold it to someone else.” – John (08:29)

Hypothetical Regrets and “Best Game Ever” Anxiety

• The team dreams up nightmare scenarios for Toledo, like missing out on the “most epic perfect game” or Shohei Ohtani befriending the ticket’s buyer with wild benefits.

  “I hope this is the most epic perfect game...like a terrorist attack gets stopped heroically and the game goes on.” – John (10:41) “And the guy that bought my tickets gets a home run ball...Shohei’s home run ball...Any auto...Shohi’s like, come over to house...” – John (11:09)

4. Classic Mockery & Group Dynamics

• The group riffs on Scott Haynes’ (another friend’s) small stature, joking about organ transplants and Micro Machines toys.

  “That kidney would be like...It’s like leaving a fair at Food City and going to Disneyland in the same day.” – John (09:52)

• The camaraderie shines as they alternate between roasting each other and expressing mock sympathy for Thriller and Toledo.

Tone, Energy, and Takeaway

The episode is classic “Morning Sickness” fare: raucous, irreverent, and conversational, with quick jokes, self-deprecation, and zero filter camaraderie. The main event—Toledo’s ticket drama—provides most of the episode’s energy, with the group dissecting his decisions and playing “what if” games that take the concept of FOMO to comic extremes.

Great for: Fans of radio-style, boundary-pushing banter, listeners curious about ticket scalping shenanigans, or anyone who loves zany Arizona morning radio.

[C]

It's great. It's time now for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our [e-mail], the home of Tactical Black. And I just got a text message from Josh at Tactical Black, who sent me a AI song about a woman with a little air in her private areas. And the song is hilarious, but it's an AI song about a woman, front button. And I want to thank him for that right away. There's no defense for a bad text, None. But it had me laughing. And I happened to be in the bathroom while it was going on. So I really appreciate, appreciate that I've gotten to be buddies with Josh and all the gang up there at Tactical Black because it's just a good group of people. And they have one thing in mind. They just want more sheepdog on the streets. The more of us there are, the less of them they will be. So if you've got a bunch of wolves out there that want to start attacking, you better be a sheepdog. That's how it works. And these guys teach you how to do it. Just be aware. I mean, the biggest thing is everybody thinks it's about fighting and running around. You get in good shape, you do the workouts, but really what it's about is Awareness and being, you know, sound in your environment. Knowing what's to your left, right, front and back. You'll figure it out from there. And then if some. Something does go crazy, they'll get you to the spot where you need to get your brain out of the way and just do what you do becomes muscle memory. And they are amazing. It's tried and true. It's been cops, military, border patrol, all these guys that will come up there and train there and get extra training from the training they already have. It's just, you can't beat it. They're. They're about to. About to start dabbling in their 25th year of doing it. And that means they've been doing something right for a long time. You don't just get to do this for 25 years.

[A]

Years.

[C]

They're the best. Reactdefense.com that is the home of tactical Black Brady Entertainment.

[D]

Jennifer Lawrence is getting the boob job. Really Being interviewed a New Yorker. And she admitted, after having two kids, she said the first one was fine.

[C]

Second one grossed him up.

[D]

Need help. And she goes, I got no problem doing it. She also says, I dabble in Botox, but I got to be careful because she needs her forehead to act.

[C]

Yeah, that's true. Yeah, you can't overdo that. It's a good Botox. Person will make it so you don't. Nobody knows.

[D]

Kourtney Kardashian is selling lollipops to promote vaginal health.

[C]

She's the best.

[D]

Get your mind out of the gutter. You orally pick these lollipops?

[C]

Well, you don't have to, but you do not have to.

[D]

It's basically these lollipops are. They also come in a gummy form that contain a probiotic that helps combat things like bacterial vaginosis, you know, yeast infections.

[C]

They don't taste like that, do they? They're not the flavor of these things.

[B]

No.

[D]

Okay, tickets just sold.

[C]

Toledo salt is done. Off the hook. How much? Yeah, two grand. So you're down 400 bucks.

[D]

Down six, 20.

[C]

Okay. Still not good.

[D]

Not good.

[C]

You could have just held off, right?

[D]

I probably could have, but I wanted to see if they were going to sell it.

[C]

All right, you got, you got. They're off your mind. So Christian, the teacher's out. The liar who beats up guys in straight jackets is out. Oh, this is all good. Well, congratulations. Thriller turning them down. Turned out to be a 600 loss. I guess he continued.

[A]

Thriller would have taken him up on it. Would he have sold the tickets? Anyway and kind of bitched out.

[D]

Yeah, he would have bailed.

[C]

That would have been easy. You think?

[D]

Trip's not happening.

[A]

That's a dick move.

[C]

That's a dick move. Would you have done that if Thriller said yes and they sold like, oh, yeah, you're out.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right away.

[A]

Absolutely. What a dick.

[C]

Pulling the rug out from under a one legged man. What an asshole.

[A]

He's used to.

[C]

He is used to disappointment, but that's rough. And you can go up to him and say, hey, I prematurely asked you and you're used to premature stuff.

[D]

Would you be mad? I mean, the guy's offering you a World Series ticket.

[C]

Yep.

[D]

But I completely understand that.

[C]

Okay, Brady, let me ask you this. We're going to this point now. So Toledo's got his tickets online, Thriller's thrilled. Oh my God, yes. Runs down the hall, starts booking stuff, canceling his day, all that stuff, Only to have this douchebag come back in and go, nevermind, I sold him.

[D]

Yeah, if he had booked.

[C]

But he. Why wouldn't he have if. If Toledo had told. He didn't go down and tell them they're still for sale.

[D]

And then you said, did you book anything? Would you have checked with them at least?

[C]

No. Remember how he said I did to rip those right away? Toledo doesn't want to go.

[D]

He doesn't book it this quickly. Yeah, if it would happen, I would check with him.

[C]

Yeah, no, you wouldn't. You'd have gone clear. I got it.

[A]

Hey.

[C]

And then you'd had to pay him some of that money.

[D]

No.

[C]

To pay back his airline ticket that you made him buy.

[A]

That's why you buy the refundable ticket.

[C]

Sorry, bro, that is mean. You ask somebody to do that, you're on the hook. Unless you'd have told them at the end, hey, if they sell, I'm gonna sell them. So just, if I'm going, you're going with me. If not. Yeah, that way at least he didn't say anything like that. Well, that's. Maybe Thriller didn't want to go, but that's. I'm with you, Brett. Yeah.

[B]

Dick move.

[C]

Thick move. Dick move. But he didn't say. But he didn't say it.

[A]

Poor crippled guy.

[C]

Yet.

[A]

No, I wouldn't either.

[C]

I would have went first off, you.

[A]

Know, you offer it to the man.

[C]

Time out. Let's go back to square one. I wouldn't have bought tickets to the World Series before. My team wasn't anywhere.

[D]

That's fair too. What if you did?

[C]

I get it, Scott. Haynes just said, hey Brittany or Britney. Hey Brady, I got a kidney I want to give you. No, wait, I sold it to someone else. You can sell yourself back.

[D]

I understand.

[C]

No, you don't.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Now if you to the point where you're on the slab and it's happening today. He changed his mind. The donor changed his mind. No, it's the same Brady. It's almost exactly the same. World Series ticket pull out and a kidney get same. It's true. Bastard Thriller. Poor thriller, man. And I'd have given him the money and you'd have. That's rude. Would have been rude. Sorry. All those listeners, they got their hopes up too. But they. You could pull on.

[D]

We said it from jump this morning.

[A]

They are still for sale.

[C]

Yeah, but still. All right, we got it. Anything else? We're good wrapped up. Well, I hope Haynes gives you a kidney now because that was just rude to joke. Give them one of your tiny baby kidneys, Scott. Imagine that little tiny guy wouldn't take up any room. Scott Haynes's five foot body gives you one of his.

[A]

Gonna be able to keep up a.

[C]

Brady though, like an M M. Little kidney. Yeah, but it would grow to great sizes.

[A]

Well, he hasn't.

[C]

Not Scott.

[A]

Oh, that's what I'm saying.

[C]

Brady would take it. It would become a big boy.

[A]

Oh, I got you all right.

[C]

Kidney wouldn't know.

[D]

I grew mine like crazy.

[C]

Yeah, if this. Yeah, Freddie blew his up like a hot air balloon. That kidney would be like. It's like leaving a fair at Food City and going to Disneyland in the same day. I didn't even know this existed. Kidney blows up. What did they used to call those little tiny toys? Micro somethings.

[D]

Shrinky.

[A]

Micro Machines.

[C]

Micro Machines. That's what Scott Haynes is as a human. All of his little parts inside are Microman. He's a Microman. You've seen him. Yeah. Ah, that's it. We're done. Toledo's staying, I hope. Now I hope. This is the most epic perfect game. Shohei Ohtani throws the most of his story. Yeah. The announcers are like, I would love to continue broadcasting the game, but I can't stop crying. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. And like a terrorist attack gets stopped heroically and the game goes on.

[D]

It would have to be pitching because Snyder ain't throwing at him tonight.

[C]
