[Brady]

I mentioned earlier this morning, but Predator badlands had a $40 million weekend, which is pretty good. And considering the Sydney Sweeney boxing, how'd that do? Bombed.

[John Holmberg]

Did it really?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Girl boxing, the one about a true story. To me, that is a movie that should be on Netflix, right? That shouldn't be a theater film. Like nobody's gonna know. Yeah, exactly. Nobody's gonna go watch this. And it is, by the way, as a boxing fan and you know, as a constant, you know, people think of misogynistic because I call the WNBA suck because it is not because it's women. Christy Martin was one of the finest fighters I've ever watched in my life. Now, her competition level stunk. There is truth to that. But I mean, you make her look even better. She was spectacular and you could see the difference. But she was beating up tomato can after tomato. There was nobody fighting when she fought, but she was still like unbelievably capable. Her side story is so great that there's. It's movie worthy. However, I'm not going to a theater for it unless Sydney Sweeney is shaking those things all over the place. And she probably is. But I need that at home. I can't have that in a theater.

[Brady]

If you want to see the trailer for the newly cut Kill Bill, the whole bloody affair.

[John Holmberg]

They put them all together.

[Brady]

It'll be four hours long with an intermission.

[John Holmberg]

Worth it.

[Brady]

Ryan Reynolds is remaking Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, the Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges movie.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, man.

[Brady]

Hey, man. And then I.

[John Holmberg]

That movie, man. I know what I'm doing out there, man.

[Brady]

Hey, dad, maybe you can bring Zoe with you.

[John Holmberg]

Brings over Live Together now, man. I don't know why everybody's so down on that, man.

[Brady]

Did you hear anything about Nikki Glaser's monologue on snl?

[John Holmberg]

I read. I didn't see it, but I read that someone said that she was trying too hard to be contained jokes about.

[Brady]

Sex trafficking and pedophilia.

[John Holmberg]

She did her stand up.

[Brady]

I saw it. And the person the article was saying, oh, my gosh, it's unbelievable. It's really bombed the. The reaction of the live audience. So I listened to it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Any good?

[Brady]

The reaction was pretty. Yeah, she was. She basically is joking like Nikki Glaser does. They try to create style, and she's not. She wasn't forcing it by any means.

[John Holmberg]

They did it with Shane Gillis's monologue when he hosted. It was really good. And they're like, who? Have the audience checked out? Yeah, they did.

[Brady]

It was one of those same thing.

[John Holmberg]

It's just false drama. I don't think anybody's ever that upset about. I really don't think anybody's that upset about committees, I think. Right. And I think the news tells you, oh, you should be really upset. This was. And later it is like, if I'm. If it's breakfast and I'm reading about sex trafficking jokes, I'm like, well, this is inappropriate. But Saturday Night Live. Okay.

[Brady]

Her pedophilia joke, if I remember, she opened up and said, went over to visit her sister, and sister has a kid. And I was staying there, and I was gonna take a shower, and my nephew comes up to me and said, I want to shower with you. She's like, he's 18. Oh, he's really 4 years old. And my sister was like, he still takes showers with mom and dad.

[John Holmberg]

Sure.

[Brady]

She's like, well, I'm not really too old, even if you guys are supervising, which I think you should be.

[John Holmberg]

Sure.

[Brady]

She's like, you're not a pedophile, are you? Like, no, I wouldn't be, but I'd be answering that if I was the same way.

[John Holmberg]

Right. Also, if you're in a shower with a kid, there's a good chance if the kid isn't yours, you might be leaning into pedophile.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Signed Kevin Johnson. I mean, Kevin Johnson evidently didn't do anything to the people he was in the shower with, but he was in the shower with them, and automatically eyebrows start going up like they're on a string.

[Brady]

Well, the water bill was getting out of hand.

[John Holmberg]

It was serving some water. Kevin Johnson was so pruny through the late 90s, it was amazing. When he retired, he just became pruning.

[Brady]

Kendrick Lamar leads the Grammy nominees with nine, followed by Lady Gaga. He had a monster here. You know who else got a nominee, a nomination? Fabrice Morvan. Did you say me?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I was just curious. He said it like I was supposed to know. That's a guy from Milli Vanelli.

[Brady]

Ye do nominated in the category best audio book narration.

[John Holmberg]

He wrote a book about being a fake.

[Brady]

He wrote his memoir and he narrated love.

[John Holmberg]

How you say that? Memoir.

[Brady]

Yeah. Now you know. It's the real Millie Vanilli story.

[John Holmberg]

So he's going to win a Grammy again. Did he actually read his tape? Did the book on tape or was it a janitor again?

[Brady]

It was him.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady]

So much better if it's somebody else.

[John Holmberg]

That would be. The funny in the book is if he had someone else pretend to be him the whole time. The Milli Vanilli book as read by Fabrice. But it's not. That's hilarious.

[Brady]

His competition in the category includes Supreme Court Justice Gitanji Brown Jackson. She's for real.

[John Holmberg]

That's right.

[Brady]

And the Dalai Lama.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's actually. Did you read that?

[Brady]

What's that?

[John Holmberg]

She's for real.

[Brady]

No, I threw that in there.

[John Holmberg]

Did you?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady]

Because that.

[John Holmberg]

She is for real. If you're gonna do it, do it. Commit, man. Don't go.

[Brady]

I didn't think I had.

[John Holmberg]

Don't get all Fabrice. You do.

[Brady]

You had to.

[John Holmberg]

She is for real. If you're gonna do it, do it not. She's for real. Play the game. Don't fabrize it. Commit.

[Brady]

Sorry, Ms. Jackson.

[John Holmberg]

I'd like to hear Brady do that. You can include that in your memoir.

[Brady]

Memoir.

[John Holmberg]

That's. Oh, no, I'm not saying. I just like the way you say it. Memoir. He gets excited about. We all kind of get like a lift.

[Brady]

It is very. It is a little heavier on the.

[John Holmberg]

Huh?

[Brady]

The end. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You bring it up. Yeah, yeah. Very gay and exciting.

[Brady]

Yeah. Ukraine.

[John Holmberg]

Gay word. It's like when people say talk gay word. Like. Yeah, it's French. He's right. 100, right? Frog word. We don't need that crap. I surrender to memoir. It's like when people say Taco Bell.

[Brady]

Taco Bell.

[John Holmberg]

Tempe. Tempeh. Tempe. Tempe.

[Brady]

Like Chuck. Like Chuck. Told you.

[John Holmberg]

Tempe. Muggy on Rim. He would yell that at me. I need people on the air that know Arizona. Tim P. Muggy on Rim. Stop it. Drove him nuts when somebody said the wrong stuff. Come on. Canyon to Shelley. Well, that's what it says. Muggy on Rim. Stop it. All right, that's it. You're from here now. God know where it is. God damn it.

[Brady]

There's four Wheel on the Mongoloid Rim.

[John Holmberg]

No. Oh, Mongoloid Rims a hell of a band name, though. Mongoloid Rim job.

[Brady]

There you go.
