[A]

I find them on YouTube.

[D]

That's it. You just search like. But you specifically search a song as well.

[A]

Sometimes I do. Sometimes it's just coming up in my algorithm now because I've been looking so many from so many of them, so.

[D]

Because I'll get a few here and there. But you seem to get, like, totally great ones.

[A]

There's some clunkers that I do that I do find, you know, there's no doubt about.

[D]

And I've seen them, like on Instagram and stuff. They pop up. But I. I don't know how to search it.

[B]

Pretty big. It's called fake music on Instagram.

[D]

Yeah. And I've seen that.

[B]

And they're about. I don't know.

[D]

Brett has the ones I haven't seen yet. Like, you seem to You. I. I guess they're.

[A]

That one was great. Straight out of Compton. One was amazing.

[D]

Most of them are awesome.

[A]

Even the one that. And you don't. You're not a big fan of the song, but that. The Danzig version of Mother was great, too.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

The. The soul version of that.

[D]

I'm seeing a few country ones, and I don't know the songs.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And I like them because they're not country songs, but, you know, song you.

[B]

Sent us the other day.

[D]

The beer.

[B]

Yeah. Has gone viral.

[D]

Has it? Yeah, it's the thing I cut out every time the country singer says cold beer or beer in a song, and made a song out of all those clips, thousands of them. And that's called Beer. Cold beer. Cold beer. I could sing a country song all day. I watched the thing last night on the. After what was on? Something was on. And then. Oh, it was. Dancing with the Stars was on. And then afterwards they had. By the way, Dancing with Stars is exciting this year. I was watching for Corey Feldman, you know, who's really good and a super. It's almost like we.

[B]

It's almost like, still in it.

[D]

Oh, God, no. He was off. Terrible. Nobody liked him. He was going fast. The crocodile hunter's son, Robert Irwin is like the nicest, most likable dude on the planet. Like, I think you'd let him, like, if you just came over. Get. G', day. My hell are you. It's, like, great to see you, Robert. I'll come over here to finger your wife. Have at it. Like you would let him do anything. He's just so nice. You don't mind if I sink a couple digits in it, do you? No. Have fun. Did you redo my friend? But that. And all the girl dancers look good. And there's one of the Mormon wives got booted last night, and she was great. Like, everybody who's still in it is like. It's sexy. Alex Earle, the podcaster, she looks amazing. The guy she dances with is great. Everybody on TV on that is just beautiful. And they're doing this dancing thing. You call it gay all you want, but it's hot. It's like they're basically. And it was Prince night last night, so the music was really. Anyway, end of it. I watched. They had some country show on, and they interviewed Kenny Chesney about how he got going in country music. And he's just sitting there going, well, you know, I went to Nashville and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Then he starts telling a story, and then they show him singing Beer and Dogs and trucks and hot dogs. What happened to your voice? Nobody sings like that. That's fake. And then I went over to St. John's and I married Renee Zellweger. I wrote a song and she laughed. Cause I'm gay and I don't tell. Why do you all sound like that? If you just made those noises and put a guitar behind it? Dogs. And she left me. Gotten a flag and a gun, cold beer. You don't need words. Just make that weird trumpet sound with your nose and say, God. Guns, beer, Trucks. Dogs. She left me and she left me Beer. Idiots. If there was a civil war, I'd fight the country music people first. I. I actually booed at a charity event when one of the events was one of the auction items was the day at Country Thunder. Boo. I'm like, geez, I said that pretty loud. Didn't go for much either. And that's not good. The charity didn't win. It's time now for Brady to give you all the entertaining news he knows. We call this the entertainment drill. And it's brought to you by our [e-mail] the home of tactical black self defense training. Not to be a scare fear monger, but I saw on the news yesterday a guy passed away from an unprovoked knife attack in downtown Phoenix. And when they tried to figure out what had happened, a dude just got up, started mouthing off to another guy. That dude didn't recognize that the dude he was talking to was not. Someone's gonna hear him. He was nuts. He was in his own world, threw a couple of knives on him, and next thing you know, he's gone. De Escalating that thing would have helped a lot. Walking away from that when a homeless guy. My dad did it that time. A homeless guy looked at me and started saying, my dad turned out goes what? Like leave? He's not home. You don't do that. There's a lot of that stuff where your manhood comes into play and you start thinking, I've got to defend you. Don't. Defending yourself by leaving is better. A lot of the times in fighting, you should, Mr. Miyagi, only do it if it's absolutely necessary. Don't ever turn around and chase a knife. Don't ever turn around and chase a fight. Walk away. You're not going to prove anything by beating up a homeless dude. So just a warning. They're out there. They lose it every once in a while. It's not your job to defend everybody in the world. Because most likely you're going to get stabbed by a nutball. They're everywhere. And there's nothing wrong with being prepared. Your mindset will change the second you start going to react defense. Because when you're there, you'll realize, you know what? That is the smarter thing. And having somebody approach me who I don't know fighting them proves nothing. Except for I'm stupid and I might get killed by a crazy person. You just don't know. The thing I'm most afraid of, by the way, when I, when I see a crazy person talking, isn't a knife, it isn't a gun, it's a needle. I, I can't see it. I don't know what he's done with it. And they're in their hands a lot. You get stabbed by a Neil, you don't even know, and it's horrifying. And so just leave careful if you're.

[B]

Walking by someone sewing.

[D]

Yeah, that's exactly right. It's your grandmother knitting cross the street.

[A]

If Betsy Ross comes across you.

[D]

That's exactly right. She's making a flag. It's a fact. You do not want that. Anyway, so just to keep your eyes open, the news will tell you every once in a while, it's like, you know what? It's never a bad idea to learn how to protect yourself. And in the worst case scenario, if you do have to fight, boy, it's a good idea to learn to punch and learn to defend yourself and learn how to defend against something crazy. Crazy's out there. Not saying it's going to happen to you, but if it did, would you know what to do? Become a sheepdog. Stop being a sheep and do it for 89 bucks for an entire month of training. That is outstanding. Reactdefense.com that's the home of Tactical Black Brady Entertainment.

[A]

She said she'd be perfect for Jeffrey until he seen the video and says, no, no, no, I'm out, I'm out.

[D]

No, nothing.

[B]

I'm out.

[D]

Lame. Yeah, Even on that one you're like, yeah, Jeff, skip this. Yeah, but I'm a pervert. I know. Trust me.

[D]

Okay, he's done that. Well, he can build a fun park. I asked Frank that the other night. I'm like, hey, Kelly, you know how much do you make in a arena show? One of these guys that does these basketball. He said it yesterday too. Actually. Here it's like 4 or 5 million. I'm like, no kidding. So Koi's gonna pull 4 million this weekend. He said, maybe. That's crazy.

[B]

[D]

No, that's what I want. And I'm happy for him if you're getting 4 million. He did 22 shows in a row in Hawaii. Sold out every show. So you're talking, you know, seven, eight, nine million dollars complete for that because it wasn't a huge plus. But still, that's.
