Episode Overview

Theme:
It’s Day One of PLAYDIO, Holmberg’s annual battle of the (unsigned) bands, forming the backbone of the full show. John Holmberg (host) and his regular crew—Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo—sift through two dozen local band submissions, scoring, mocking, and bantering their way through Arizona’s best (and worst) musical hopefuls. The show blends biting humor with genuine commentary, raising the stakes for local music and capping things off with several standout tracks.

Key Segments, Discussions, and Takeaways

A. Sports Recap & Bidwill Controversy

[03:59–15:28]

• Armchair Quarterbacking: The hosts open with NFL and college football picks, lamenting their teams' losses or wins.
• Michael Bidwill Rumor:
  • Holmberg launches into a detailed, deadpan rant about seeing Michael Bidwill (Arizona Cardinals owner) at a Phoenix Suns game minutes after the Cardinals’ own game went to overtime.
  • The hosts speculate, with tongue-in-cheek seriousness, that Bidwill is checked out, possibly preparing to sell the team:
    • “If you're a fan of this team, and you see the owner doing something else during the game… My speculation is he's selling the team. He had to meet at the RahRah Room to somebody in Jacksonville with money's here.” (John Holmberg, 09:03)
  • The hosts poke fun at the Bidwill family’s “tourist” efforts to fit into Arizona, and contrast with exemplary hands-on owners like Jerry Jones.
• Fan Call-ins/Texts: Listener feedback pours in; most find Bidwill’s early departure offensive, some defend him with faulty analogies.

Memorable Quote:

“There’d be a ding dong the witch is dead party you can’t imagine, at all. I get more attention in the Rah Rah room from people who recognize me than Bidwill.” (Holmberg, 15:53)

B. Comedy, News & Brady Report

[28:43–44:09]

• Brady’s Oddball News & Factoids:
  • National Sardines Day, Louis Vuitton history, North Korea’s unpaid Volvos.
• Viral News:
  • Woman charged for pocketing a $20 bill at Walmart in PA, legal technicalities discussed.
• Wild, Wild World Segment:
  • Bald eagle in North Carolina drops a cat onto a moving car windshield—hosts riff on animal misfortune.

  • CableTV.com offering $2,500 to watch 25 Christmas movies.

Memorable Quote:

“That might be the worst day a cat has ever had... A bald eagle steals him. And then a car does!” (Holmberg, 37:00)

---

C. Playdio 2026: Unsigned Local Band Competition

[49:37–213:02]

1. Rules and Humor

• 40 unsigned bands submit one original song.
• Hosts listen, critique, and score each entry. Poor songs are “gonged” early via sound effects; best are marked for the finals.
• Top five advance to a live showdown; winner writes next year’s show theme and wins $2,000.

2. Early Frustration: The Parade of Mediocrity

• The show’s first hour is filled with “sloppy,” “dated,” or poorly produced entries.
• Too many bands have long intros; several get roasted for lacking rhythm, pitch, or even basic audio quality.
• “Use a metronome!” becomes the group’s refrain.

Timestamps & Standouts:

• [52:29] AG Session – "Reflection"

  • Dinged for out-of-sync drums, generic pop-punk vibe.
  • “Someone needs to get your drummer a metronome or a click track.” (Holmberg, 56:08–56:20)
  • Score: 4/10

• [58:10] 1 Star Night – "Piss Ball Pete"

  • 16 seconds long; crude, hilarious, instantly becomes a show favorite, gets played repeatedly.
  • Quote: “This is the best Playdio song I’ve ever heard. Oh my God.” (Holmberg, 58:45)
  • Score: Raised from 7 to 9 after repeated listens.
  • [67:04]: “Let me tell you a story / A man named Piss Ball Pete / His dick so small he pissed on his balls!”

• [65:47] Demonic – "My Burial"

  • Prodigy/industrial vibes, criticized for long, cliche intro and weak vocals.
  • “You’re an unknown band. You have not earned the right for us to wait for you.” (Holmberg, 69:31)

3. The Breakout: Bands That Actually Impress

• [123:04] Veins of Aether – "Siren"

  • Well-produced; voice compared to Shinedown or Miles Kennedy.
  • “They sounded like a real band... I heard a lot of nothing more and Shinedown.” (Holmberg, 123:22–123:42)
  • Scores: 7s (across the board)

• [138:06] Reckless Eden – "Skeletons"

  • Not eligible for finals due to band member being abroad, but universally praised for production and songwriting.
  • “That was outstanding... Just really—you know those are pros right there.” (Holmberg, 143:28)
  • Scores: 10s (Perfect)

• [150:21] Witness Protection – "Breath of Poison"

  • Full, modern-sounding industrial track, briefly suspected AI, but confirmed to be (mostly) real musicians using studio help.
  • “That was spectacular—spectacular. That, I want to go to a Witness Protection show right now.” (Holmberg, 153:52)
  • Scores: 10s (Perfect)
  • [211:55] “I’m not kidding when I say that that’s one of my favorite songs I’ve heard in a long time.”
  • [154:52] Listener: “For a couple of dudes throwing something together, that was great. To keep the theme though—I bet they’re gay. Stabbing Rammstein rocks!”

• [158:49] Graves of the Monuments – "Suffocate"

  • High-energy metalcore, strong but overshadowed by segment leaders.
  • “Had you played before the last... the positioning for them stunk. But... they’re very good at what they do. Production was good.” (Holmberg, 161:49)

• [174:43] Thomas James Band – "Stone Cold Killer"

  • "Huey Lewis meets the Cult," classic riffy rock, surprisingly catchy.
  • “I found myself... nothing revolutionary, but that was kind of the fun of it.” (Holmberg, 178:20–178:37)

4. Ongoing Themes and Jokes:

• Long Intros:
  “Again, everybody out there, you have to know by now. The intro—what are you doing with it? Come on.” (Holmberg, 86:26)

• Production Standards:
  “If you didn’t, and you heard what we have in our top five, you should know that you didn’t fit in for a reason. The difference... drastic.” (Holmberg, 216:15)

• GAY Joke Overload:
  Running bit: Listeners (and hosts) drown the text line with “that’s gay!” in response to nearly every band, escalating to parody.

• Listener and Crew Fatigue:
  “Why does Brady always start with a 4? The catch will be if Brady goes below four this morning.” (Toledo, 91:53)

---

D. Closing: Playdio Results & Reflections

[209:01–216:59]

• Top bands of the day replayed and reevaluated. Most see Witness Protection and Reckless Eden as the likely winners if they perform live.
• Playdio Day Two awaits, but after a strong final run, expectations are high.
• Holmberg wraps with gratitude, some jokes at the expense of failed bands, and encouragement for improvement.

Memorable Quote:

“The difference between our top five and people who didn’t make it—drastic.” (Holmberg, 216:19)

  • “Some of these, even their mothers wouldn’t sit through more than thirty seconds.” (paraphrased, multiple segments)

  • “That was spectacular—spectacular. That, I want to go to a Witness Protection show right now.” (153:52)

  • “That was outstanding. Those are pros right there.” – (Holmberg on Reckless Eden, 143:28)
• Response to Listeners
  • “If football team owners, I’d leave a game early to catch those last three bands.” (165:32)

Top Bands Identified (by Host/Listener Consensus)

1. Witness Protection – “Breath of Poison”
2. Reckless Eden – “Skeletons” (not eligible due to member location)
3. Veins of Aether – “Siren”
4. Thomas James Band – “Stone Cold Killer”
5. Graves of the Monuments – “Suffocate”
6. 1 Star Night – “Piss Ball Pete” (purely for novelty/humor)
7. Rattlesnake Suitcase – “Love Ain’t Free”

---

Conclusion

Summary/Tone: The show is equal parts mean-spirited and genuinely passionate about local music. The hosts revel in roasting bad bands (“He recorded that in his car... I heard traffic in the background!”), but heap sincere praise on worthy entries. Near the end, several high-production tracks leave the hosts delighted and hopeful for Day Two.
Overall: For local bands, the bar is higher than ever: “That’s how it should sound.” (146:24) For listeners, it’s the most entertaining kind of radio roulette—sometimes a trainwreck, sometimes unexpectedly great.

---

For New Listeners

• You’ll enjoy: Relentless sarcasm, real local music discovery, and genuinely funny sports/media critique.
• Skip if: You dislike mean jokes, love all local bands uncritically, or want advertiser content.
• Don’t miss: The Piss Ball Pete bit (58:29), the reckoning over Michael Bidwill (09:03–16:25), and the show’s sincere appreciation of “real music” from the standouts (esp. 143:28, 153:52, 211:55).

My name is John Holmberg. How are you? Hope you're well. Happy Thanksgiving week. There's Brady. He can't hear you, Brett.

[E]

What?

[D]

Yep, and of course Toledo. Hanging around the outside here somewhere as we start PlayDoh Week 2026. Technically the search for an unsigned band that we can try to be the reason they become super successful. So far we're over. But here we go. We are ready to go once again for Palladio. Now, before we get to that, you know, always Mondays, usually armchair quarterback post game. Congratulations to Brett's Bears for beating my Steelers. I'm okay with it because Brett picked the Bears for our football pool Thursday. I picked Pat Fryermouth to have a touchdown. Both occurred in our game. Brady, of course, the easiest picks all year will pick against the Bungles to lose every game they've got. Patriots. He got his. Dale went out on a limb, picked the Cowboys to beat the Eagles. I had to kind of talk him into it because I thought that was a good pick. I picked them as well in my normal one and it didn't look good. We get it. So the boys walked out of here with our second win for the FanDuel picks on Thursday. Three grand. Boys. That's pretty good. Pretty close to at least 2,800 bucks. So we're pretty happy about that. Nice game. Now, I had my day yesterday with the Steelers not winning, disappointed how mediocre my team actually is and another year wasted, right? So I'm down. And we all know when you get involved in sports, you're invested. You. You put money in it into your team with jerseys and, you know, time and whatever else. And you're like, man, you just kind of want. You kind of want to know that the team is down, too. Cardinal fans understand every week is another punch in the guts. And you've got your, your jerseys. You probably have a Kyler Murray. I saw a few of those last night. Suns game. You have your Slovis Coleus Campbell. Get your Slovasters. You've. I've been calling that one. And he played a little bit yesterday. He played a little. He's going to start in. But, you know, you got your Calais Campbell jersey. Some people still walking around with Patrick Peterson's. But you put some time and money into it and all you would do is hope that the owners do the same. I am going to start a wild rumor. I'm going to be responsible for this rumor. I am going to speculate irresponsibly. So the Cardinals game began at 2:05pm yesterday. My friend Brian did the math on this. It lasted 3 hours and 22 minutes, which means the game was officially over at 5:27pm I believe it was in overtime, right? It did go to overtime. I didn't watch the whole thing.

[B]

It did.

[D]

Yeah, it did. So my friend Brian says I walked past a bar downtown when the game ended, 10 minutes before you text me, John, that you Were already at the Rah Rah Room waiting with Marty. My friend Marty and I and his son Zach went to the game last night, met my friend Antony and Brian was going with me. So he was meeting us. So 10 minutes after 5:27. So game ends at 5:27, he takes a walk. So let's say it's 5:35, for argument's sake. We were in our seats when the Suns tipped off the game at 6pm we saw who we saw in the Rah Rah Room before then. It would have taken him 20 to 26 minutes to drive from Cardinals Stadium to the Suns arena at 1:30 on a Monday with no traffic in the morning. There's no way he got out of the Cardinals traffic into the Sun's traffic in 20 to 26 minutes to be 15 minutes early for a son's game in the Rah Rah Room. Who am I talking about? Michael Bidwell. I saw him at the Rahra Room before the Suns game ended. And if the, if the, before the Cardinals came in, if the Cardinals game ended at 5:27 and I saw him at 5:45, he left that game early. The owner left the game early to go hang out. Is he getting an award downtown? Come on. So one of the girls who works at the Rah Rah room told me the other day she's a Steelers fan. So we talk Steelers sometimes. She said that she was going to the Cardinals Jags game. She's got a family member, works for the Jags. And then surprisingly, I see her walk by me in a rush in her uniform for the Rara. I said, hey, I thought you were going to the game. And she turned, she goes, I scrambled out of there and I got here just in time. Now this was probably. I didn't see her. It was probably quarter to six at that point. I don't know if she'd been there for a little while. Let's say she got there right on time and change. So let's say I asked her later, I said, how did you get here so fast? She goes, I left in the middle of the third quarter. And I said, she goes. I Ubered like a madman at the. Took like 40 minutes. Like, huh? So doing the math, that Michael Bidwell decided to go, you know what, gang? Tide game, I gotta take off. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna hang out at the Suns game, go grab a quick bite.

[C]

I bet you didn't go to the stadium.

[D]

I'm wondering.

[C]

Probably came to the, you know, from.

[B]

The house, just watching this, it's more entertaining.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

But might as well go to Sun's game.

[D]

Think about that. If you're. If you're a fan of this team or the owner. If. If I'm. No. If you're a fan of this team and you see the owner doing something else during the game. I got two. I'm. My speculation is he's selling the team. He had to meet at the Rahra room to somebody in Jacksonville with money's here. And he had to. He had to schmooze him. There is no Jerry Jones doesn't leave the game early. It would be a. It would be a massive controversy if a Cowboys owner. Jerry Jones wasn't in his booth at the end of the game. They do shots of him all the time. If he didn't do his postgame press conference, if he just left. Michael Bidwell lives in anonymity. The league doesn't care about the Bidwells. They don't care about him at all. And he knows it. And he left that game before it was over unless they choppered him in. And I don't remember seeing that landing anywhere near the arena last night. We'd have seen it. This dude doesn't care. And more so doesn't care that there he is. And people see him like, shouldn't you be somewhere else right now? Shouldn't you be at the stadium talking to the team? This is reminded me when Urban Meyer said, hey, guys, sorry, we're 06. I'm gonna hang out here in Cincinnati for a little while. You guys fly back without me. And then he went over to Columbus and boned some waitress in front of a steakhouse. But again, what did they. Urban Meyer walked in there like, shouldn't you be somewhere else? And was, yeah, that's fine. We got a bye week. Shouldn't you have gone back with your team? And then he's sitting on, you know, people see you, egregious, terrible behavior. And the fans sit back and go, I'm putting my time in. I sat through the whole game to watch him lose. You left a tied overtime game to go eat dinner. What? Terrible.

[C]

To buy one of those trailers in the end zone.

[D]

Terrible.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

You spent a million dollars on one of those stupid, you know, storage facilities. They turned into a Thai restaurant at the Cardinals game. And there's Bidwell going, well, I'm going to check out of this when I got to beat traffic. See ya. Why do you care if he doesn't again, imagine if Jerry Jones wasn't anywhere near the Cowboys Game at the end of it yesterday, which was a tie game.

[C]

And you're absolutely sure that was him?

[D]

100% came by. Because my Brian goes, well, because that.

[C]

Would be hard to do regardless. It looks like.

[D]

I feel just looks bad.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

My buddy Brian goes, is that Michael Bidwell? And we're leaning on the bar. We're probably 15 minutes, 16 minutes before, like, we're going to go to our seats. And I look over and I'm like, no. And he goes, I think it is. And then he walks by me and I'm like, it sure is. He went in the bathroom like, that's Michael. What is he doing here? And then we started looking up. That was an overtime game. He had to leave before it ended. Like, no. And I'm like, maybe it isn't him. Maybe. And he comes out of the bathroom. My friend, my buddy Marty's there. Cardinal, lifelong Cardinal fan. Brian, lifelong Cardinal fan, goes by and he's like, you got to be kidding me. What's he doing here? And immediately I see these two, like, really? Like, I wasted my whole Sunday planning this to watch your team. And you're here. I'm here too. And I had. And I watched the whole thing, but not at the game. Kinsey the waitress had to leave in the third quarter to get to her job on time. By 5, 5:30, she missed a whole quarter of the game. That's bad. That's really bad.

[C]

So I'm speculating my wild Ishiya putting together a consortium.

[D]

That's what I'm wondering. That's exactly what I said. That's what we were talking about last night. I'm. Well, there it is. Ishbia is gonna buy the team. That's my. That's the dream. This guy says, you can't say stuff like this, that John, that Bidwell's meeting someone to sell the team. You're gonna get my hopes up. Please. Yeah, I'm. That's the best thing I can tell you. But I mean, there it is, their flagship station, 9087. The sports station is for both the Suns and Cardinals. He's going to run into Vince Morata. He's going to see some sports people there. Or like, what are you doing here? Like, that's the question you ask. How did you get here so fast? Oh, I left early. It's just a terrible look and absolutely terrible. And I don't want to hear his excuse. Here's the deal. On Sundays, I don't make plans for 17 weeks around Steeler games. Bye week is the only week I'm like, I've got that weekend free if the sun. If the Steelers play Sunday night, I can maybe manage to squeeze out a Saturday afternoon. Sunday, I'm back by three in the afternoon on Sunday. I'm watching the whole thing. My friends and I sit and at my house and watch the whole game. If I was the owner and I'm, you know, even if at my house I have people over, I'm like, in the third quarter, I'm like, all right, everybody out. I don't feel like watching anymore. They'd be like, john, what's. We gotta watch the whole game. That's it. It's enough. We're done. It's not even a blowout.

[E]

It's a tie.

[C]

And I'm like, everybody, did you sing the anthem?

[D]

He didn't have to shoot the opening night free throw. Kevin Ray did. And poorly, by the way. He was. We've been giving Kevin quite a bit of guff. He missed. He missed the rim. Oh, he hit the backboard and missed the rim. Try that. Try to hit the backboard and miss the rim. Because Kevin did.

[C]

That's coming hard. That's coming hard.

[D]

It wasn't. It had a nice arc. It was just so far to the right. It missed the rim. Just banged off the side and then it bounced back to him and he shot another one and missed again. So he's been catching hell on my text threads for me. And I'm sure we're not the only ones. Then he's in a suit. It wasn't fair, But K. Ray. I mean, it was bad, but either way, maybe that's what we're saying. Maybe. But again, you just say no. When the Cardinal. When the sun's calling. Go. Hey, we'd love to have you as our man of the night. Like, I got a game on Sunday. Out of your mind. I got a. It's terrible. So I'm gonna. I'm gonna scream the dream to all you Cardinal fans. Scream it. I think Bill Bidwell is meeting with buyers.

[C]

Could be an amazing Christmas.

[D]

You heard it here from Uncle Johnny. This could be that Bill Bidwell is. And Bill Bidwell. If you're mad that I saw you and I'm saying so, give me a call. Explain yourself. You owe it to your fans. You owe it to your fans that not only did you leave early. No way. You didn't. That you are not even.

[E]

You're not.

[D]

I can't do things if it's. You know, if I watch my team lose an overtime Game at home like that. I'm like, I'm just. It was hard enough to get me to go to the Suns game yesterday. If the Steelers were in the afternoon game, I would have never gone to that. I'm depressed now, but after the game, I'm mumbling and mad and pissed off for two hours. I can't go hobnob unless somebody's got a couple billion dollars for me. Ishpia. I'm just saying, Cardinal fans, you can keep your fingers crossed and say Holmberg saw him there. Something's going on, and that's your best case scenario. Because if nothing's going on, that dick just left an overtime game to go have fun somewhere else.

[C]

Can you imagine the tailgating hbo?

[D]

Can you imagine? This city would act like AIDS was cured, like completely. Like STDs were all cured in the same day. There'd be a ding dong, the witch is dead party that you can't imagine at all. I get more attention in the Rah Rah room from people who recognize me than Bidwell. And a couple people walk over. Hey, John Love show. Big fan. I'm like, yay. And I'm like, no one. Everybody just goes, there's Bidwell.

[C]

Is that him?

[D]

There's Michael Bidwell.

[B]

Yeah, he caught the warning playing the halftime show and then bounce. It's like, all right, I'm good, I'm good.

[D]

I saw that maybe the warning in him had dinner plans at the Rahra. And by the way, don't you have like Brady mentioned six or seven restaurants in your stadium? Don't you have that high end super restaurant? You should. You should be seen in that at the end of the game, not the Sun's arena. It was bad, really bad. I don't know who the Bears owner is, but I bet you he's not over at Smith and Wolinsky in the fourth quarter of yesterday's game. I betcha. I betcha because Bears fans wouldn't deal with. What the hell are you doing here? Game ended five minutes ago. Get back over there and talk to that team. You almost blew it to a team led by Mason Rudolph. Get your ass back over there. I got a question for you there, chief. What you doing here? Having stakes at the Smith and Woolley and teams out there. You know, on the bus going over here, team. He said, oh, I'm just gonna. I keep saying Bill Bedwell. It's Michael Bidwell. You keep saying Bill. It's a stupid ass son. Mike, you're right.

[B]

It doesn't matter. At this point. Yeah, they both.

[D]

You know what? They're the same.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

One and say, chip off the old block, because Bill would have done something dumb like, I'm wearing a bolo tie because I'm a desert guy now. Yay me. No, you know what they remind me of? The Bidwell family. Radio guys that move into a town to do mornings. Hey, we're from Philadelphia, we're from Tuscaloosa, we're from Grand Rapids. And suddenly they're in Diamondbacks jerseys. They've got a Gilbert Ortega Kokopelli. They're trying to fit in, and they don't. And that's exactly what Bill Bidwell did when he moved here in the late 80s. I'm gonna wear a bolo tie. Cause I'm from Arizona. Now, look, I'm dressed like you guys. Like, none of us wear that, you knob. That's a tourist thing. Old men and tourists do that. But it's. Look at me. His son, for a little while at least, kept his hand. Kept his hands off of it.

[C]

But some potential, too, when the new blood was coming. In a minute, we'll wave. All right, let's mix. Move.

[D]

This guy says, now you're just defending. He goes, are your owners of the radio station at the station event every time or even there the whole time? Logic. Use it. You're telling me that a guy who has everything invested in his life, 18 events a year, and that's his job? Yeah, if my owners.

[C]

How many at home?

[D]

My owners are at work every day. I'll tell you that.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

How many? Cut that in half there. Use logic, Johnny. Oh, that's John Eaton. He's the. He's the mouthy one.

[B]

I know, but.

[D]

Yeah. How is that using logic, John? How many. How many other owners in the NFL are just not at the game or leave early? How many? It's only the teams no one cares about.

[C]

If that happens at all, family member, whatever, you probably have a pass. But for the most part, what if.

[D]

It was your quarterback? What if Jacoby Brissette was at the Suns game and you're like, he had to leave early. Like, he didn't stay with the team. He didn't stick for a team meeting. Well, Kyler Murray, that's where I would. Okay, what if. And people would drill him if he left that game and went and did something else? And you're like, hey, Kyler Murray was down there before. People would destroy him in the media.

[C]

Well, that would tell me. I mean, if not like you were going to say, Kyler's Here.

[D]

Oh, he's checked out. And then you know who else gets in trouble for that? The coach.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

You know who else gets in trouble for that? The quarterback's coach, the offensive coordinator, the whole staff.

[C]

Owner. Yeah, all the way up.

[D]

The owner not being at the game at the end of the game. Use logic. John Eaton says, are your owners there every day? If we were running 18 shows a year and the entirety of the team's or the station's meaning was on those 18 dates, I guarantee our owners would be here every day. I guarantee it.

[C]

Just because, I mean, you know, on top of it, another event, different sport. He made sure he's there. I mean, if it was like a no Kings march or something, right?

[D]

He's selling. He's selling.

[C]

Gotta be.

[D]

How about that? Anyway, I'll throw. I'll throw it in there. This one says, john, it's like you being at the Swizzle Inn during the Brady Report. People would be outraged. Yeah, it's true. If I'm like, well, this ain't going anywhere. I'll see you guys later. It is. It's like me leaving this early without telling you and you. John's got better stuff to do. I feel bad. We give the KSLX ChatGPT show guff because we'll sit and do our dumb show and look out the window and see them getting in their cars at quarter to 10. You bastards. Mainly. A little jealousy creeps in. It's like, how do they get away.

[B]

With that and start after us?

[D]

And they start after us. The half a show drives you bananas. Anyway. Just saying there's hope, you guys. Cardinal fans. Yeah. This guy says, wow, John. Just wow. I was there until the very end. Just wow. Yeah. The owner needs to stay there. There are nine home games a year, if you count preseason.

[C]

Maybe he alternates with his sister. You know, he doesn't do any game. And then she stays. You know, you have gotta have one of the family members.

[D]

One of them's like, oh, is it your week to stay at this crap the whole time? Even they don't want to be there. Is the message, why are you. Why are you paying for it? Even he doesn't want to stay through the UN Overtime game. This team doesn't get a lot of wins. He might have left right after. He might. But still, he's like, I got to get out of here. I got plans. I don't make plans.

[C]

Can't believe traffic.

[D]

I don't make plans. The Steelers game starts at 11 and ends around 2.

[E]

Right.

[D]

I don't make plans for 215. I just don't. And it's just me watching the game at my house. I keep buffers. Anyway, so the hope is that he's selling. So there you go. This one says the Colts owner. The new one stands on the sidelines with a headset on, for God's sake. Guess what? They're good. She's new and already better than our prick. Yeah, you're not wrong, Ryan. You're not wrong. Writer. Sorry. It's true. Anyway, just thought I'd point that out. Wandering around the city with your.

[B]

You heard it first.

[D]

You heard it first. Breaking news, sports news. A lot better than what they're doing. And they and 987 won't be allowed to talk about this the way I will because they're under his thumb. Like, he'll call him and go, knock it off, or I'll pull all the advertisers. Yeah, I don't. We don't got any of that. We're free to speak. They act like they're able to speak freely at Arizona Sports because they can make fun of the team, whatever, but if they knew that Bidwell wasn't there.

[C]

It's always been that way.

[D]

Yeah, always. Because there's a lot of money at stake. So those radio stations that are the flagship, they have to toe the line a little bit. They can't bash the owner, that's for sure. I was on that station. I bashed the owner once, and I was no longer on that station. I used to do the pregame for the Cardinals, and it didn't fire me for that. But they said, let's put an earpiece in you. And then when you start getting down that road, we'll have somebody go, all right, pull.

[E]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[D]

Yeah, exactly. I'm like, no, let's not do that. It's crazy. So there you go. Just thought I'd throw that out there. And the hope is, is that I'm right and that he's selling with me and Matt Ishby is buying. That starts your Monday. Cardinal fans enjoy that. And John Eaton. Use logic. Just because radio and football are two totally different things, you moron. If our owners were here every day, there's something really wrong. The fact they're not here tells you everything's great. They live in another city. If Bidwell lived in. Matt Ishpiel lives in another city and he's in a lot of Suns games and he's got 41 to be at, and he's there a lot I think he's at most of them. And from the cavalcade of broads, he had their Friday. I don't blame him. My God, Brady was there to. Brady was in the rah rah room with me Friday. And it's a. It's the Playboy Mansion when Ishpi is there.

[C]

I think it was the spillover, I told you, from the Miss Universe.

[D]

Oh, it was all the. We're sitting there like, what is going on? Like, this is weird. And then you see Matt Ishbi and you're like, oh, I see. And then he leaves with like nine, 10 of them and they get into this party bus together and it's like four or five straggler dudes who are like, well, he's gonna. We're gonna. We're getting fall off.

[B]

We'll take the leftovers.

[D]

And here was the logical lady brain that I used on that at the end. I'm like, yeah, but you know, because this is what people say when they're not part of something awesome. I said, yeah, but what happens to that girl when Matt breaks up with her? She can't ever date anybody again. A billionaire. And then she's got to go back to Brady me.

[B]

I think when you're out in that upper echelon, you just move to another billionaire.

[D]

You think at least a millionaire. She's going to be fine.

[C]

Move to a. You're still in a secure area. Might not be to the, you know, the billion.

[D]

Yeah, she's going to look over it. Yeah. It's a tough one, though. And even the, Even the multi millionaires are like, oh, you, you dated someone else before me. Who was that? The owner of the Suns. And the guy's like, geez, I only have a couple hundred million. Now all of a sudden he feels like us.

[B]

I mean, he. She might have to go from a Bugatti to a Ferrari, you know, I.

[D]

Mean, she makes hundred millionaires. Yeah. Feel inadequate.

[E]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

Because she's been with a billionaire. Just saying. Anyway, so Bidwell's. I saw you. Nice job. His wife was with him too. She's. I hope that was his wife, if not rules. Anyway, I thought he had a billion dollars secretary. I. I'm. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Say, hey, so I'll start your day off with that. And then we get into Playdoh. It just gets worse from here.

[B]

I was just gonna say, man, all.

[D]

Right, we're gonna get right into Playdio this morning. We're gonna do. Brady's. Gonna have a quick abbreviated Brady Report coming up in just moments. We'll get that. And then right about 6:40, we're gonna start playdia. We got 20 songs to get through this morning. Stop it, Brett. Don't start with a bad attitude. You did this last year. We're gonna have good stuff this year.

[B]

I'm gonna pull a bidwell. I'm gonna.

[D]

I'll see you guys later. This is the year. Yeah. We have to sit through all the Playdia. We can't leave early this.

[C]

Local legends do that.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Let's go for breakfast.

[D]

This is the year we find the winner. Like, this is the year we're like, holy Christ, this is a great band. This is the year that we only have five bad ones and we got to choose to. That's right. Brett, Pollyanna over here.

[B]

Toledo's even.

[D]

I know. Stop it, Richard. He's already heard. That's not a good sign. He's already listening.

[C]

Why would he do this?

Good Monday morning to you, Phoenix.

[A]

Hello, world.

[E]

All right.

[C]

I had the pleasure of playing in the Sanderson Ford Operation Santa Claus golf outing yesterday with our trip re Joey B. And Tripp says to me the first thing in the morning, by the way, tomorrow, National Sardines Day.

[D]

Is that right?

[C]

So happy National Sardines.

[D]

Well, he goes to Maryland a lot and it smells like sardines all the time. Yeah, he loves the smell of sardines or he wouldn't have bought a house close to Baltimore.

[C]

Couple of basis fun facts. Louis Vuitton started out as a trunk maker in France 171 years ago.

[D]

Well, man, that was kind of like the dresser drawers back then, right?

[C]

I always thought you have one of those and you're hauling around with the suitcase.

[D]

It was the old luggage. Those people, I think that's like a God.

[C]

How long does that luggage last?

[D]

I don't know. How dumb are our ancestors? How dumb. Traveling by trunk, traveling with trunks they had wheels. I mean, cavemen had wheels. Put wheels on it, you dumbass. It was six.

[C]

Gotta have my closet.

[D]

Remember in Planes, Trains and Automobiles, John Candy had that trunk. And then in the Natural, everybody getting off the train when Roy Hobbs struck out. The whammer. Yeah. And they had to get off. And everybody's walking around with giant trunks like they're moving dead bodies. It was like a casket of clothing. Put wheels on it, you dumb pieces of. Can't figure out wheels. It's a box, like. Yeah, you put wheels on it.

[C]

North Korea bought 1,000 Volvos from Sweden in 1974. They still haven't paid for them. The amount they owe is now up around 400 million with interest.

[D]

You're not gonna see that money.

[B]

Good luck with that.

[D]

You might get a nuke first.

[C]

Wonder how many of them are running The Volvos. Yeah. 74.

[D]

Saying that the North Koreans aren't very good at mechanics.

[C]

Or they're really good, or.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

They kept them alive for the whole time.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Free Volvos for an entire communist nation. My people, my Swedes, handing it over.

[C]

The Dark Knight was the first Batman movie that didn't have the word Batman in the title or any bats in the movie.

[D]

There were no bats, not even in the cave.

[C]

I didn't remember that.

[D]

But great movie. I like that villain the most, too. That was. Was that the one with Bane? Was that. Oh.

[E]

Oh.

[D]

Because you're right. Because I'm thinking of the first one. The first one was with the scarecrow. I like Scarecrow the most. Yeah. Dark Knight was Bane. And then you had. Well, no, Dark Knight was. That was a Joker. Oh, yeah, that was a Joker and two face. That one got a little wobbly.

[C]

You shouldn't make your bed when you wake up in the morning. After. After you wake up.

[D]

I agree. Women should do it.

[C]

When you sleep, your body gives off heat and sweat and soaks into your bedding. And if you make the bed, the second you get up, you seal all that grossness in. I said let it breathe for 30 to 60 minutes before making it.

[B]

You're gonna get back in it anyway. There's no reason.

[C]

It's your own witch's brew.

[D]

All right, Just, you know, the. The old rule that you wear your clothes for eight hours a day and you put them in the washer. You sleep for, let's say, six to eight hours a night. And you do that. You give it a week, and you give it, like a week or so. And that's clean, people. It's not like jeans, soft Cotton is totally different in the. The hardened denim. It can handle some. You know. Although I'm wearing the same jeans I had on yesterday. Another. They're like. They've. They've grown to like 38s. I don't know what's going on. I wear 33s. I gotta hold these thing up.

[B]

These seem to stretch after the next day.

[D]

Brutal. I put them on this morning walking. My pants are down around my knees.

[C]

This woman in Pennsylvania has gone viral because she said she was charged disorderly conduct after finding an abandoned $20 bill at a Walmart and pocketing it. Evidently in Pennsylvania, if money is left on the ground or anywhere else, it's a crime if you don't take it or take it without making a reasonable attempt to find the owner.

[D]

Cash.

[C]

So they charged her with a summary offense of disorderly conduct.

[D]

Geez, they hate her.

[C]

She posed an update saying that she got a lawyer to get the charge dismissed. Dismissed. Promised. Provided a return for the 20 bucks.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

That's brutal. 20. But she pissed off everybody to. They wanted her to get in trouble. OJ Wasn't framed as hard as this lady. That's.

[C]

I got a couple of wild worlds.

[D]

All right, let me see if I can find your music. There you go.

[E]

Hello, my friends.

[C]

I'm Brady Bogan, and this is your Wild, Wild World.

[D]

I don't know where it is. Everything's broken. Stuff. Thank three.

[C]

Elephant or wolf?

[D]

There it is.

[B]

I can't do the elephant.

[D]

Supposed to do the elephant.

[B]

Pretty close.

[E]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

There he is.

[C]

There we go. The first one happened in North Carolina. This lady was in on the highway, and all of a sudden, boom. Hits a windshield. Cat through the windshield. Front windshield. An eagle had it in its talons and it lost hold of the cat.

[D]

It's like a bad beer commercial.

[C]

Luckily, they went through the passenger side. No one was hurt. She was able to pull that to the cat.

[D]

Brady.

[C]

That the cat was the only one not to.

[D]

It did not do well. That's the worst day a cat has ever had in the history of cat.

[C]

I would say if I'm gonna drop. If I'm getting taken out by an eagle, at least it ended quicker by hitting the car windshield than a long. Jesus.

[D]

What are you struck out devil, for even saying that?

[C]

Eagle lands with it still alive and he just starts eating it.

[D]

So you're telling me you'd rather just be carried around by an eagle's talons, torn into your neck and back and then thrown at a great distance into it and then being eaten?

[C]

You're still alive as you're getting eaten.

[E]

Okay.

[C]

Or boom. It ends in the windshield.

[D]

It's not death. Boom. It ends. It's ah. Something's digging into my back. I'm flying. I'm. Oh my God. I'm sinking to the earth. I've been hit by a car. It's the worst thing. I'd rather get eaten alive than I would thrown about the world. That's a horrible thing. At least he might break your neck or something while he's holding you down to try to eat you.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

So you die while that's going on. You fly for a second. Oh, he let me go. I'm free. I'm free. And then you go smashing into a windshield of a car knowing that you're a cat.

[C]

There's a pretty good chance you could land the jump.

[D]

Oh, he was going to try to land it, but he didn't realize the thing he was landing on was going 75 the other direction. He went through the windshield. It had to be terminal velocity. Had to be at 120 something miles per hour while the car's going 80. He was in a cat car collider. He went through the windshield.

[C]

Tough day.

[D]

Have you tried to throw a baseball through a windshield? It doesn't go through. It'll.

[C]

Well, 70 miles an hour.

[D]

Yeah, it won't go through if he's going 70. If the car's going 70 and you're throwing 90, maybe. That's brutal. That's some bad. That's. That is. I'm gonna go ahead and say it. That might be the worst day a cat has ever had. Minding his own. Just a house cat. Walked around the backyard and a bald eagle steals him.

[C]

We got a 57 year old dude in Japan. He's a ramen chef. He's gone viral because he was in there making noodles first thing in the morning.

[D]

See something kind of racist.

[B]

I think I was gonna say the same thing, but I'm staying out of it.

[D]

Go ahead.

[C]

Notice the shadow. And before he could get closer, see what the shadow was?

[E]

Boom.

[D]

Cat.

[C]

It's a four foot bear.

[D]

Oh.

[C]

Jumped, clawed his face. But the dude used his judo skills.

[D]

Okay, that's racist for sure.

[C]

Punch the bear.

[D]

So the guy, the Asian making noodles, also judo expert.

[C]

Yes. Well, it kicked in his training. Sure kicked in. The bear did scratch, cut his eyelid.

[D]

Got his licks in.

[C]

But he dipped the bear pretty hard where it took off. Owner comes in much longer after that.

[D]

Happened and there's some pictures, took a couple photos. I'M sure.

[C]

I'm sure he did because the guy was just. He still went back to work making noodles. And blood's running down his face.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Good worker.

[D]

About an hour later, he's hungry to do it again. That's right.

[C]

He said to his shock, the bear got to his feet and ran back to the mountains.

[D]

Sure. That's your wild America, Brady. That's the story he told his wife of why he had unexplained scratches on his body. Oh, what you talk about your back covered in scratches. What you do? Oh, fight a bear. You what? Oh, God. She's believing it. Okay. Must run with it.

[E]

Yes.

[D]

A bear breaking while I make a noodles. Make noodles Races.

[C]

Employee of the month.

[D]

Yeah, that's it. They better have. In this day and age and in Japan, there's no camera footage of this.

[C]

They might. They might ask.

[B]

They.

[D]

They don't. Because. Oh, you got a nail. Don't.

[E]

She's so hot.

[D]

And she scratched him up. And the wife saw it. And he had to come up with this bear story. He didn't expect it to go international. No way. Then I use a judo skill. A fight off bear.

[C]

They've got a still shot of the photo.

[D]

It's a drawing. Oh, come on.

[B]

That's like a video game rampage.

[D]

And I finish the noodles, I go right back to work. Oh, I believe you. Good, good. Holy crap. I get away with that one. Holy crap. That's the biggest lie that's ever hit the news since COVID Okay, I just pissed a lot of people off. It is that. That didn't happen. She have a screech of face from a bear.

[C]

5Am the cameras. It's dark.

[D]

She's dumb. Cameras. In Japan, there are 800 people would have taken photos of that. They wouldn't have known what to do with all the pictures that they had at the news for this.

[C]

This village could be a very small. Small village where they have millage.

[D]

The dude cooking the noodles had a camera. This is on tape. If it's real.

[C]

Bear came down for the mountain.

[D]

Yeah, just to fight the noodle man. No. Nope. He got scratched up by his. By his affair partner. And he lied to his wife, who happened to her dad happens to be the editor of the cruddy Tokyo Times. No, look, you're the one that brought the story up. If you cared, you wouldn't have done this at all. Did you hear about Quan Lee? You got attacked by bear. I'm not knowing nothing more.

[C]

Again.

[D]

Did the damn bear come back? You'll scratch me Again. But I use a strong judo skier. You have a surveillance camera? Oh, no, none of that. Why must we be so proficient with camera?

[C]

That's your wild America.

[E]

All right.

[D]

Finally, I see the truths and things, and that certainly is not it.

[C]

[B]

There's a couple car guys dicking around.

[D]

The garage, fixing a Toyota. Couple of white dudes. Surveillance cameras here. He pulls on some sort of a. Whoa. Another car comes blazing through the door.

[C]

He got through. And that one guy getting mad.

[D]

Missed everybody Missed everybody. The car blew through the wall and hit the car they were working on, and these two guys barely got out of the way. Oh, my. Yeah, it is. It's Larry's car.

[B]

He was on an excellent adventure.

[D]

Wow, that was horrifying.

[B]

This is a little dash cam action.

[D]

All right, Guys on bicycles. There's a car behind him. That's the camera we're looking at right now.

[B]

Little rock set in the background.

[D]

Oh, something bad's gonna happen to these cyclists. They're going running out. We're going up a hill. Deer, I'm guessing.

[A]

Oh, no. Car.

[D]

Oh, just a car. Missed the turn. Coming head on at these bikes and just woof. The wind knocked them over. What happened to the driver? He's dead before he goes to the next one.

[C]

Can you see the munting? The term munting?

[D]

Yeah, munting. It's a necrophilia. Digging up a semi decosed, decomposed corpse. One person then goes, oh, down on the corpse, whilst the other jumps on the dead person's stomach, causing juices of the decomposed organs. What in the world is going on?

[B]

Look at me.

[D]

The definition of munting. The old Ted Bundy. You go back and play with the dead body.

[E]

All right.

[B]

What is this one? Yeah, this one's not that good.

[E]

It's okay.

[D]

It's a guy on a beach playing with something. What is that? Looks heavy. Picking up a heavy thing. He's very strong. Middle Eastern. He's gonna try to throw it over his head. Oh, it lands right on his head.

[E]

Stupid. Is he stupid?

[D]

Yeah, dropped right onto his head. I think it might have killed a Middle Easterner.

[C]

Drop some IQ points there.

[B]

How about this one?

[D]

All right, here's a. It's not a Ladies performing oral sex on a man with her split tongue. Oh, that's kind of cool. Yeah, I've never really seen that in action before.

[C]

Like mandibles.

[D]

I'm intrigued with that. That was neat.

[B]

And let's just prepare for Palladio.

[D]

Okay. Okay.

[B]

There's a little preparation.

[D]

Guy with his legs open and. Oh, someone is standing on his balls on a wooden floor. Oh, stop it. Oh, my God. She's got her heels on the bag.

[E]

Explode.

[D]

She's got her heels on the bag. Oh, yeah.

[C]

How does that stay?

[D]

It has to blow up in the bag. Oh, my God. Stomping it out like a cigarette.

[B]

That's what we're going to feel like.

[C]

In a couple hours for a race.

[D]

Damn it, Brett. No. We're going to do. Well, yeah. 35 of the 40 bands will be good. And today, you shut up. 17 bands ready to take your Rosecard glasses back. Fantastic. I have to have this attitude.

[B]

I'm a realist.

[D]

Platio, for those who don't know, congratulations. Your life's about to be changed. We take unsigned, unknown bands and we give them their chance on a number one radio station in the city. Unless you count Beth Christmas.

[B]

Well, AI might help out this year, so.

[D]

Well, we'll see. And these bands, which live music is something we should all be behind. We should all love it as rock fans. There's no bands that can play in bars anymore. There's no local live rock scene. Palladio takes on more significance than ever for bands that are like, come on, get our foot in the door. We want to try to help somebody out there find their way through. We have snake suitcases back, Rattlesnake suitcase.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

All right. Ag Session is back. So when we come back from this break, AG Session 1, Star Night, and Maguire, oh. Or Maguaro will be the first three that kick off this competition, this battle of the bands, this local, and then some awesomeness that could happen right here. Are we ready, gentlemen?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

20, 26.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Now, here's how it works, too. You'll get a prize if you win, right? Like two grand. $2,000. $2,000. We don't know if we ever got studio time this year. Nobody's called back. Larry doesn't want anything to do with us just fine. All right, so you get $2,000, you can do us what as you please. And then, of course, you get to be the band that writes our theme song for next year. And we'll play it every single day, good, bad, or otherwise, if you win Playdoh. And we will play it every day next year like we did this year for miles to nowhere. And everybody was happy with that. And they got their name out there, and they are synonymous with quality. They were great. They were great, and we couldn't be happier having had them for the entirety of this year. Let's hope next year is just as good. And we're going to find out who's going to write our theme song for next year. Next. Palladio is here, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. All right, HMS Podcast, time again to let you know where to go for some great comedy in the Valley this week. All right, Josh Johnson in the Flower Tour is going to be downtown at Stand Up Live, east side of the Tempe Improv. Tony Rock is performing. And up north of Desert Ridge Improv, you have Langston Kerman. And next week for the holidays, Dion Cole, Eric Griffin, and Greg Fitzsimmons are coming to town. For the complete lineups and for tickets, go to standuplive.com desertridgeimprov.com and tempeimprov.com hey, everybody, it's John Holmberg here from the morning sickness and you hear me all the time talking about my friends at Lost our home pet rescue. We do the pick of the litter and it's brought to you by our [e-mail] Every week I head over to lost our home pet rescue, and I meet a brand new beautiful animal that needs a home. The work they do at Lost our home is unbelievable. Not just your average pet shelter, that is for sure. They help people in a lot of situations. Look them up online. Lostorhome.org and check out everything we do at 98kupd.com in the pick of the litter section. Still streaming, hombre morning sickness [e-mail] all right, here we go. I'm gonna turn into Chris Collinsworth. All right, everybody, here we go. We're gonna make this thing work. It is time for Palladio 2026, the band that wins. Get some money and the unbelievable honor of so many bands before them that we don't remember to have our theme song for 2026. They will write it just like Miles to Noah did. And let's hear it for Miles to Noah, who put out a hell of a theme song for us this year. Kept us happy every morning. You heard it. It's great. Katie and the Hobbs. I'm disappointed only in that they didn't get involved again this year.

[B]

Going out on top, you know.

[D]

Yeah, you know what? One and done. You walk out with a championship and you leave, you retire with a ring. So here we go. If. If the song is played, that means that you are One of the 40 people that have gotten yourselves involved in this thing. We are looking for the top five to play tomorrow night downtown at Copper Blues. They will do two songs for us live. The competition is the song that they submitted on the radio. We take the top five from that, we put them in a battle of the band scenario. Tomorrow night at Copper Blues Wednesday, we name a winner. Part of the winning of the live show is that you bring fans on a Tuesday to Copper Blues and fill it up. It's glorious and I cannot wait for tomorrow to see the top five. But in the meantime, we have to sift through to find the top five and score accordingly. Now, if Brett does not like it, you will hear a drop from the Sopranos in the middle of the song. It means Brett is checked out and does not want to hear any more of the song. It'll sound something like this. The cows or oh, the man's trying to eat. Something like that will happen. If Brady doesn't like it, he goes to his patented gong. Racism. Robin. I'm going this year with this one. I like a lot. Just screaming no. Top of our lungs doesn't end. Gives you a few extra seconds before you realize that your band is about to be. I think he takes another breath that he does. He hits the ground and then starts again. Christ, it's one of my favorite things ever. When he takes a breath, It's never. Are we ready? Bio for band number one, please. Enter my hands, please. Toledo. Band number one is Ag Session or Ag Session.

[C]

Silver Session. I don't know.

[E]

Huh? I don't know.

[D]

He's going, that could be.

[A]

That true?

[D]

Yeah. Freddy's going all science on us and stuff. Breaking up the periodic table. Can't hear. But he sure does know his gold and silver. And I'm the Jew. Ag Session is a three piece rock band from Phoenix, Arizona. The song Reflection explores addiction and the courage it takes to seek help. Look inward. Inward. Brett and the life. I tried to get through that. I tried to be a complete professional. But you get laughed at. Inward. Lifelong struggle of overcoming dependency while working out to rebuild relationships. By the way, speaking of the quick interruption, I had the top off the Bronco the other day. I'm on 20th street in Camelback. Beautiful day. And I'll tell the Disney version of this. This is the Disney version. And there's a guy in the corner. I'm second in line to turn right on 20th Street. Guy in front of me is going straight. So I gotta wait for the lights to turn. So I'm not. There's a dude walking towards me. He's got a sign. It's a black guy. It's got a sign. And there's no. Like I can't read it. So I'm squinting, trying to read the thing, and I hear, what you looking at, Tigger? Like, what am I gonna get killed? You're not gonna make any money that way. You gotta have a better attitude. And I laughed for 15 minutes after I realized what had happened. I was trying to read your sign. Maybe it would have moved me into giving you money. But then you called me The N worth 20th street in Camelback. This sign is like. It's like when Mexicans ride on rice. Anyway, you gotta get more to the point. I don't have time to read that whole thing. I tried. Then he called me the N word. Anyway, it says A Reflection is out now. The song on all streaming platforms. Check out Facebook and Instagram for upcoming live shows, music, and more. Thanks to the morning sickness for making us laugh every day and giving reflection a spin. Ladies and gentlemen, song number one for Palladio 2026 is Reflection by AG Session. 2 minutes, 36 seconds. So let's see if they can make it. It's 98 KUPD. Here we go.

[E]

But I don't like what I see? Staring back at me? But I won't turn away? Cause if I do? Then I will make that change? Only the pitiful man shall pass. Do you lean down on your knees? Down on your knees? The world is not where you have been?

[D]

Down on your?

[E]

The world is not enough Unless you believe? Do you believe? Come out of the shadow.

[D]

Oh, man. We got rid of them. We got rid of them fast. All right, Brett, I'll start with you. Ag session. Why did you gong it so. Or why did you do that?

[B]

So, you know, at first, like, musically, I'm like, all right, it's kind of pop punky, and I'm not a big fan of it, but the music was okay. Singing live left a little bit to be desired for me.

[D]

No.

[B]

And then Toledo said, same thing. Is that a new singer for the band?

[D]

I'm not sure they've been in this before. And that's what I'm saying, though.

[C]

Yeah. I don't remember. The vocals are kind of weird, and I just thought it was kind of messy.

[D]

Yeah, well, that's because the drummer is off time. Like, almost the entire song. Ag Session sounded also very friend. Steam song.

[B]

Yeah, I said that. I was like, oh, good call.

[D]

You guys can chime in on our Facebook and our. And my homework@98KUPD account.

[B]

Apparently, it's crap 182.

[D]

All right, stop it. All right, let's. It's not too early to start that. That's day two behavior. You guys, knock it off. Don't do that yet. That was hilarious. Don't do that again. That says I want to hear that song again, but after the singer's balls drop. All right, guys. Ryan, that's enough. They were the first ones in. Yeah. I just think someone needs to get your drummer a metronome or a click track that seemed like he was. Brady said sloppy I think that's a good way to put it. Not that he can't play drums. He just can't stay on time. And a lot of drummers have that problem. One is named Lars Ulrich. He's horrible.

[B]

He made it work for himself, dude.

[D]

For the. For Allison Chain. Sean Kenny struggles to stay on time. And it. And it works. So it can work. You don't have to be pitch perfect and, like, right on. But you have to. That song's just not. Also. That's good. All right, so I give that one. Just because they're first out of the gate and they took the first two punches, I'm gonna give them a four. I'll go with that, Brady.

[E]

Four.

[D]

All right. All right. Thank you, Ag Session. We appreciate you, but we didn't like the song very much. This one says, put them on 93.3. And you know why? No, that's not true. It just. It sounded dated and messy. All right, Number two is a band called One Star Night, and the song is called Piss Ball Pete. Here's their bio. Band name One Star Night song Piss Ball Pete. Bio. Justin on vocals and bass, Jacob on guitar, Josh on drums. Let's rock.

[B]

I like that to the point.

[D]

You're really gonna like this. The song is 16 seconds long. I like that a lot. All right, here we go. Here's Piss Ball Pete from One Star Night. The band is one starter. Let's see what they get. They're gonna make it through all the way, I guarantee you. Piss ball Pete for 16 seconds. Let's go.

[E]

Let me tell you a story. A man named Piss Ball Pete, his dick so small he pissed on his ball. 10.

[D]

This is the best Playdoh song I've ever heard. Oh, my God.

[C]

My favorite 16 second song.

[E]

Let me tell you a story. A man named Piss Ball beat his neck so smiley pissed on his ball. All right.

[D]

I have no critique of this song. It could have been a little short quarter. That's all. Drug on a little nice work for no reason at all. I don't even know what to do with the score on that, but I'm gonna give it a seven.

[B]

I'll go with six.

[D]

All right.

[C]

I'll go seven.

[D]

All right. They might be there tomorrow, and that would make tomorrow even better.

[C]

Makes me want to hear a little more.

[D]

Yeah. You know what the. The error that so many bands make, you go get on with it. These guys are like, what else you got? I'm impressed with that. Nicely done. Piss Ball Pete is. That's a champion song, right There. I'm proud of it.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

I'm looking at everybody else still.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

That guy Kyle even says, I heard the same thing you heard by a freaking metronome. First band. They're 25 bucks.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

You got to get the timing right. You can't. And after you play a song, you should have a producer that. That puts a metronome on your track and says, guys, we're way off.

[A]

Pro Tools.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Pro Tools will do it for you.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

I don't know how to say this. Next band's name. Maguaro. Nobody knows Maguaro.

[E]

Maguaro.

[D]

Yeah. And they made a. They just sent a picture of a bong they made out of a couple of. It's this. The song is called Dirt Bag and it says it's got references to water hole and power line parties. Even I don't know what that means. Maguire. Is that some sort of weed reference? I don't understand.

[A]

No idea.

[E]

Looks like.

[D]

Did you look it up real quick?

[B]

Ryan says about Piss Ball Pete winner end it now. No need to hear the other 38.

[D]

Yeah, it's. They are good. It says.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Kyle says. What the hell was that? First time you've ever played a Plenio song Twice. And I liked it both times.

[A]

It's true.

[D]

All right. Let's try with Maguire. Oh. They are substantially longer than the Piss Ball Pete song by almost three full minutes. It's a lot of nerve when you realize that winning this thing the 16th. Can you imagine if they just redid that for a theme song? Meg Waddle song is called Dirt Bag. Let's see what they've got. It's Platio. It's 98 KUPD.

[E]

That goes where the ice reside. Painted purple dragon wagon.

[D]

I don't want to hear that word here again. Have you ever heard of Timbuk3?

[C]

Oh, my God.

[D]

You remember Timbuk3. Future so bright, gotta wear shades. That's immediately what I heard. When he started, I heard Timbuk 3. Future so bright gotta wear shades.

[E]

Ah.

[C]

Just didn't have enough chpa. Just kind of flat. It was definitely stone or rock.

[D]

Not by today's standards of stoner rock. It was just. It was just.

[B]

It sounded like early Kiss. Like those.

[D]

Album. I was gonna give him a five, but you just made it a four. Boy, oh boy, oh boy.

[E]

Hear the words you say sometimes.

[A]

I mean, who talks like that?

[D]

98 KUPD. Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with my friend Wayne from AMCO. And Wayne, if my car has an extended Warranty. Do I have to take it back to the dealer for service?

[E]

No, Larry.

[D]

If you have an extended service contract, you can use it at any amco. Well, it's nice to have other options. I'll say. Amco has dealership quality rental cars, no hassles and faster service. Amco does more than just transmissions, right?

[A]

Right.

[D]

If you need car repairs or hear, feel, see, smell, or even think you have a car issue, call Amco first. Just Google Amco for your nearest location. That's Amco, Double A, MCO Transm, and a whole lot more.

[E]

Feed a family, make a kid happy and win a new car.

[D]

It's the 25th anniversary of Operation Santa Claus, presented by Sanders and Ford. Sanders and Lincoln, U haul and ABC15. Make a donation of food, new toys, child sized clothing or money and you could win a new Ford F150 truck or Lincoln Corsair SUV. For more info go to give to TheClaws.com Lincoln and ABC15 Hol's Morning Sickness. Tim, book three. This one says, when did Alice in Chains get gay? Don't. All right, Brett, what do you give him? Four. Four. That's what I did.

[C]

Five.

[D]

Five. All right, that's generous. All right, let's try another one. We're moving fast. Next one is Demonic. They have a K Where the sea goes. They've been in several times. Yeah, Demonic's played before either fourth or fifth time. Demonic is back. It says Eric Adams, D.J. the mayor. Huh? Oh, is that the former mayor of New York was Eric Adams?

[E]

You're right.

[D]

DJ Steven Seward is on vocals, Lyle Berryman is on drums. Our music is inspired by and full of Easter eggs and references from our favorite movies, video games and bands. This is my burial off of our album the Industrial Nether Core. The band is called Demonic. Demonic. And if you want anything to do with this, you guys can. What's the thing? Just go on our Facebook. Is that what you're reading? And then the text. You can also text.

[B]

I'm guess I'm checking emails and stuff.

[D]

Yeah, text us 97936 and you guys can get your comments and be nicer. And somebody actually said, well, that's it, this is over, Piss Ball Pete. Just retire. It's Playdoh person personified. It's exactly what we should want. Pistol Pete's in the clubhouse here. I like them.

[A]

John. Look ahead. Look. Or look above. I think Three Eye Atlas is coming in. Depending on this next song and whether or not it's a direct on Phoenix.

[D]

Somebody also Said Brady's got a figured out the world. So the guy decides to go fully deaf right before Palladio, which is the smartest thing anybody's ever done. If you saw Brady and I this morning, a little after 5am Outside, I was trying to get Brady to hold the door for me from a distance. And I was shouting at the top of my lungs like an old married couple.

[A]

And it's to. To give context, it's not a great distance.

[D]

It's 45ft or yards, I should say. Yeah, I was gonna say 45 yards. 50 yards. Yeah.

[E]

Open the door for me.

[D]

Just staring. And I looked at him, I said, did you get that? And he goes, I couldn't hear a thing. Like I was shouting at the top of my lungs.

[E]

Let me tell you a story. A man named Piss Ball. Pet his dick. So Smiley pissed on his ball.

[D]

They're going to win.

[B]

I'm going to change my score too.

[D]

All right, what do you guys give it?

[C]

I'm going eight.

[B]

Yeah, I'm going eight too.

[D]

I am too. That's three eights. I like it. The more and more I'm away from it. All right. Demonic is number four. Boy, did you guys have single handedly dismiss. It's the tush push of Paleo. It can't be stopped.

[B]

It's just.

[D]

Damn it. Demonic is My Burial is the name of the is the song. Let's see what they've got going. It's Palladium.

[E]

It's. Me. My mind's red.

[D]

Can you comprehend it to you play.

[E]

Pretend all the world burns.

[D]

All right, we've all checked out on that one as well. And demonic song's called My Burial.

[E]

Jesus.

[A]

Fast and Furious 12 just came out with their soundtrack.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Jason says, after all these years, when will a band learn to cut down the intro a little for radio? Even while we're off the air, Brett's like, Jesus, get on with it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There is a little three changes in it.

[D]

You are an unknown band. You have not earned the right for us to wait for you. And again, one of the reasons this started is because bands kept like local bands think that they can submit this journey for 28, 30 seconds. Program directors, music companies, everything else. Gives your song about seven seconds to grab them. That's it. You've done it. Yeah. You haven't earned that. So you have to understand, if it doesn't jump out of the gates and get you, no one's gonna like it right off the bat. It's new. People don't waste their time with new. Way too long an intro. And then his voice had no authority. Not for the song, it seemed.

[C]

Cramming it in there.

[D]

Yeah, it might have been shoehorned in a little. And I think that's more that his. His voice was just like. Just some dude at Circle K talking to you over a song.

[A]

John, I swear to God, you're gonna force my hand. I'm gonna call the Bobs, and they're gonna get a hold of their lawyers, and I'm gonna make sure that Katie and the Hobbs are returning for 2026. Because this cannot be the way this ends.

[D]

Oh, but it can.

[E]

Me tell you a story. A man named Piss Ball beat his dick so small he pissed on his ball. Come on.

[B]

We all changed our votes.

[D]

Actually, I changed it to a nine anyhow. Yeah, it's Prodigy. Demonic's good. It's Prodigy. But the singer sounds like your teenage son.

[B]

That's what Crandall said. He said drum track.

[D]

Solid.

[B]

Firestarter was already made, though, when I was.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah, It's. Yeah, it's.

[B]

When did demons go gay and techno stop?

[D]

Just. Yeah, that's the only thing. A lot of times, band, like, the guy's got good lyrics, the song was put together well, and then the voice just doesn't match. Maybe that's it. It's less authority. It just didn't match. It felt softer.

[C]

Get to it quicker.

[A]

So this is why the Neutron Movie did so poorly, right?

[D]

Because Trent let his son sing. I'll give it a five. Because it actually is.

[C]

I'm a five.

[D]

Well done.

[B]

But I'm a four.

[D]

All right, we'll try one more. Our last laugh. And then we'll take a break. Is that right?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What are we in the movie Blade now? What is this?

[D]

Yeah, People. People are mean, right?

[A]

Not Blade Runner. Blade.

[E]

Yes.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Blade five four.

[D]

This is demonic. It says. This is 93.3 Goth Twink champ. John's neighbors had this playing on Halloween. That is just no reason to bring Michael and Troy into this. This one. So let's get what you got. Prodigy is rebranded as Prodigy. Lil Prodigy. Hey, it's Lil Prodigy. Wow. I thought I hated Demonic because of their effing nerd ways of describing their Easter egg and putting a K. And then I heard their song. That's why I hate them. All right. There's no reason to be mean.

[A]

I didn't mind Powerman499.

[D]

Ouch. This one's good, too. Teemu. Prodigy. This one says I'm hiring Piss Ball Pete for my Christmas party. If they win, I'm gonna have to rearrange my schedule Tuesday. I need to hear that song live. Yes. This song sounds like when Brady eats Taco Bell and his body starts to process the food before it all turns into Brady diarrhea. All right, it wasn't that bad. Next band is called Our Last Laugh. And by the way, it's easy to lay on the couch and yell at these guys. Everybody's putting forth an effort. And you know what? We're. We're that group of people who aren't your friends. We're doing what people do when they don't know you to your songs. Your friends love you, your family loves you. Nobody's going to be honest you with. With you. So this is. Take it for what it is. Yeah. Follow your dreams for sure. But listen, when people say here's the reason your dreams die, man.

[A]

John, you really hate to see the tariffs affecting industrial music so. So badly.

[D]

Trump ruined them. I'm tariffing Prodigy Teemu Chinese Prodigy. I won't have it. This is our last laugh. It's a four piece band from Phoenix, mixing the best of hard rock and pop punk. James Rivas leads the vocals. David Nunez shreds on guitar. Henry Cota Jr. Holds down the bass. And Eric Amparan keeps it tight on drums. Loud shows, catchy hooks, honest lyrics. That's what we are about. Popular Disaster is the second single to be released in December. I don't know what your first one was, so let's not start talking about your second release.

[B]

I hate when they describe the guitar shredding.

[D]

All right. All right. Maybe he shreds.

[B]

Okay. Yngvang.

[A]

Leave the superlatives.

[D]

All right. No, yeah, exactly.

[B]

That's what I'm saying.

[D]

We're still early in the process. I'm still have a great positive attitude. Brett.

[A]

John.

[D]

Baseball Pete happened. Come on, man.

[A]

For the record, I just saw a car accident. Somehow less horrible.

[D]

There were several deaths. All right, here we go. This one is our last laugh. It is popular Disaster. That's the song, right?

[B]

With shredding.

[D]

And they're gonna shred. And Brett already hates it because they said shredding. All right, here we go. So our last laugh. Good luck to our last laugh.

[E]

It seems a series have changed me I am overwhelmed Fighting urges to say things I become undone and now I'm starting to change Just to fit the need and now I'm starting to feel the way I should have felt so why do we change? We're not the same. We're not the same. So why do we change? It's just a blissful feel. And now it's become so trendy. All the things you need Buying things for the glam with things you never need and now you're spending and you spent because of all your greed for all the things that you want.

[D]

I feel like I've been stabbed on the heart. All right, all right. Still going.

[C]

I was looking for your shredding.

[A]

Brad.

[E]

Brett.

[B]

I couldn't find it either.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

It'S kind of flat.

[D]

Yeah, I wanted it to go somewhere. It just didn't. Brett or Brady. I'll go with you. People are accusing Brady that we influence your score, so they want you to always score first.

[E]

Okay.

[C]

Five.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Well, Brady influenced me because that's where I was going to go off to.

[D]

Yeah, I was going to go about there too. It's not a. It wasn't horrible, but just didn't do anything.

[B]

Yeah, it was just there.

[D]

I think there's like. I don't know. It was a thing. Shouldn't we have a little dandar? Let's have a dandar break. And then, of course, the solid memories of Ouch. My balls from Faustian gems from the past.

[C]

Every time I hear this, I try to get in the morning wake up song. How he do that.

[D]

Every year now? Let's go roller skating.

[E]

This is the mic. Why don't we hop in the car, find out who we are.

[D]

Still probably would win this year.

[B]

We got Blood Eagle army in there.

[D]

Still no.

[B]

Oh, damn it.

[D]

I won't do it.

[A]

I have it.

[D]

I have to dig it up. All right, all right. We got get to the chopper. Is that right?

[E]

Yep.

[D]

Get to the chopper. Withering heat and magin mood coming up in just a little bit. And so far we have a clear cut favorite. I can play it a lot.

[E]

So smiley pissed on his ball.

[D]

I already know all the words.

[E]

Power.

[D]

But we were talking about budget stuff. I'm like, what do we pay that guy? And he told me and I'm like, I can do that. Yeah, well, for free. I'm like, sure. Just a. Why not just do this all the time? Westwood One and Wrangler Jeans. You could actually. I think I kind of sparked his interest. His inner cheap management kind of kicked him.

[E]

Hey.

[D]

And I told him, I said, you can't trademark a voice. We can do this. And I'd add something to it to make it seem like it's not a copy. Like, yeah, Temporary Phoenix. And then David Lee and then David. That's not my work. Never said it was. The next band is called get to the Chopper. Is that right? Yeah, get to the Chopper. So straight out of the scorching desert wasteland of Phoenix, Arizona, get to the Chopper is the musical equivalent of a bemuscled and mulleted action hero. Dual wielding Uzis and smashing alien faces in your favorite Nintendo game. Fueled by a love for the 80s and 90s pop culture, VHS tape, Saturday morning cartoons and the sweet sound of a documentary. Dial up modem.

[E]

Guys.

[D]

Yeah. We're the band. Your inner nerd didn't know it needed our sound. Picture punk rock crashing a party with rap, metal, funk and rock. All while Weird Al, our spatula scepter deity, nods approvingly from the heavens this is gonna be stupid.

[B]

We already had Austrian Death Machine.

[D]

Yeah, from face hugging riffs, lyrics or to lyrics that would make a wookie weird sweep. We're here to save the day with power chords and plus five charisma bonus. That's a video game reference. Grab your walkman, dust off your he man figures and get to the chopper because we're about to roll a natural 20 on your eardrums. You ready, boys?

[B]

There's a lot of guys have to offer.

[D]

These dudes that are just my age are ready to go.

[E]

All right.

[D]

Get to the Chopper Songs called Bounty Hunter I I'm rooting for you boys. It's 90.

[E]

I was created, I am a clone only my father I have known. Camino is my home system. Let him come the launching pad I control slave war. You better watch out cuz here I come in the galaxy, what's my name? Galaxy is my game. Better pay off your deb.

[D]

That I'd say it again.

[E]

What the is there to think of? Bye.

[D]

All right, all right, all right. Bounty Hunter by Get to the Chopper. Just. It just took forever to get to the chopper. When do we get to the chopper?

[E]

Hurry up.

[B]

Was 37 seconds.

[D]

37 second intro. Way too long in the intro, which bored us and wasn't what I was expecting. Yeah. Then when 311 started rapping. Cheer, cheer, cheers you. You know the way to my heart is not through white guy rapping.

[B]

Well, it sounded almost like when you do your Darth Vader speaking into a cup.

[D]

Like, what are you talking about, Brett? That isn't what I do. Don't give away the secret. What in the world was I singing that for? I don't have my cup right now, do I, Brett? Get to the chopper. Bounty Hunter. It sounded dated. They're probably having a good time. I don't think they're very, you know, I don't think they're very serious about, like, being the next big thing. So says damn it. I wanted the old guys to suck so bad, but they had to just take it one step further. Rap rock, dad, bands don't work out ever. Some of it doesn't seem so bad when it comes into the studio. The intro is the exact same thing over and over. The intro could be cut in half for sure. It says the intro they gave the you gave to them. Hey, Chat GPT make our band sound hip, trendy and gay. Stop it. Stop that. It's the Yeasty Boys.

[B]

Travis said that started good, but then I punched my kid.

[D]

Oh, then you knew you didn't like it. The kid puncher, Sean Rockefeller, who's blind. He hears better than all of us. Especially it's like. That was like listening to my grandpa eat a nectarine. Oh, God. To him, that has to be like. Thomas says, you know, Limp Bizkit gay. All right, enough telling everybody they're gay. Another example of being of the intro being just way too long. They lost me before the song started. Yeah, that's very true. That's very true. True. You know what? They talked up a good game. Maybe they should get into the PR field for the other bands and try to stop playing music. That's not a bad idea because that was a hell of an intro. Limp Biscuit meets stp. All right, I didn't hear that. Cody Brady. What do you give?

[C]

Get to the top 4.7. Because we just didn't get to the chop.

[D]

7. Giving them a 5. Brett 3. That's what I'm doing.

[B]

The chopper was way too far.

[D]

It's a long walk to the chopper.

[B]

Could have crawled there in that amount of time.

[D]

And again, everybody out there, you have to know by now. The intro, what are you doing with it? Come on.

[C]

Why?

[D]

Christian Hernandez says new bands, long intros don't work. No one knows who the hell you are. It's the best advice we can give you. Don't. I know. You're like they're talking about. You're going to live in it. You're going to waste all your time. Just have fun being in a band.

[A]

Then I'm rethinking that open line.

[D]

Just cut in half. You're totally better just cutting it in half. None of it was necessary till you got to the actual punch and then it was nothing. Withering Heat is next one up. Their songs called Love My Addictions. It says, hi, Dick. We're submitting our song Love My Addictions for Palladio. Hope we make the cut. The withering Heat or Weathering heat. This is weathering here. Is it withering? Well, it's weathering here. And then they said weathering and withering. They said they misspelled their own band name.

[A]

I went with the with the first one.

[D]

Weathering Heat are a new Phoenix based hard rock metal band. We've been gathering steam by playing local shows and with the release of in 2025 of our first single, Love My Addictions. What makes this, this and us interesting, you ask? St. Paul from St. Pop performs on the electric ukulele.

[E]

I don't know.

[D]

No, it's St. Paul from St. Pop.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Oh, that guy.

[D]

Yeah, the electric ukulele player, you know.

[A]

Have we reached that age where. No, we don't know that it's a ukulele.

[D]

No one knows.

[B]

What is it? I'll see if I can find that.

[D]

Maybe one of the first heavy metal solos on a ukulele ever recorded. All right. You piqued my interest there.

[E]

There.

[D]

I just don't know what you've.

[E]

All right.

[D]

You spelled your name wrong. Your own band name. Hope we make the cut. I can be reached.

[B]

I'm out already then.

[D]

Oh, did you just look at it?

[B]

Yeah. If he's miss. No. If he's misspelling his own name.

[D]

Weathering Heat and Withering Heat.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

All right.

[D]

We went with withering because that's on the subject line. Weathering might have just been. They didn't just proofread Withering Heat songs called Love My Addiction. There it is. Let's find this and see if we like it. Good luck. To withering heat. It's 98.

[E]

Addiction takes you so hard Takes me so high yeah, yeah Take me so high yeah, yeah wow. There ain't nothing in it I know I can't see this I get no better I keep failing over and over so I'm just gonna love my addiction.

[D]

Oh, come on.

[E]

That loves, like sex, drugs and knees.

[D]

Where's my ukulele? Yeah, where's the sexy ukulele? You promise? We'll just get into the point there. No reason to roll. Break that down. It's the Bad John.

[A]

Did they submit lyrics? Cuz are they saying hey or gay.

[D]

No, stop it. With a gay, Withering, weathering weing. Whatever it is. It sounds like Dogs in Heat.

[B]

It sounds like their moms are addicted to Tylenol.

[D]

All right, all right. You guys are. Dude. Wow.

[C]

Got to hear the uk.

[D]

So there's a reason this is the first hard rock solo ukulele. No one wants to hear it.

[B]

Did they get their hant from a clan meeting?

[C]

It just. I mean, they don't know. But that intro is the kill. Yeah.

[D]

Guy comes down and says, I'm going to rub my ears against. I'm going to come down and rub my ears against Brady's.

[C]

Let's see if I can.

[D]

Maybe it's contagious.

[E]

Just.

[D]

That song's just not good. This one says they sound like Corrosion of Conformity. If those guys had down syndrome. All right, that's enough. They did. People didn't. People didn't care for that one. I. I heard Alice Cooper immediately when he started singing.

[B]

So you're giving a negative one.

[D]

Oh, I went the other direction fast. So I'm going to give that one a two. Brett.

[B]

I'll go with three.

[D]

Brady, four. Okay. I didn't.

[A]

The catch will be if Brady goes below four this morning.

[D]

Yeah. You got to get him to a two or a one.

[A]

I looked back at last year's score and he was. He must have goaded into 1 3. He had one once for a while.

[C]

That you show up, you're gonna secondary. Almost half second day.

[D]

It gets.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Another thing John you should mention in bios is promoting your band with people in other bands you've never heard of. I've never understood that either.

[A]

Right.

[D]

Like you're like. And then we had this guy show up and do a guest. I'm like, who's that? Oh, he's from a band. You've never heard of him. Like, then it doesn't matter.

[A]

You're just doing that for the other knobs in the local music scene.

[D]

Yeah. I mean, if you're like the dudes from ZZ Top, then yeah, you know, like they were our producers and they were our mentors and blah, blah.

[E]

That's great. Great.

[D]

Had the guys from, you know, My Darkest Days or whatever, something like, give me something. Oh, I've heard of them. Is that what they're doing now? Man, oh man. So like when you go back to the classics, John, and play the old ones. That's why I listen to this thing.

[E]

It.

[D]

It's forever. Piss on balls. It's going to be one of those forever. And yeah, it might be the winner.

[A]

Did Dan Dar grow up and shift genres?

[D]

This uglier kid Joe. It says, speaking of withering heat, I'm sure Japanese people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are glad they didn't witness this song. Actor. It wasn't worse than being nuked. Some perspective here. Next one is Magin Mood. M A J I N Mood. Majin Mood.

[A]

Kevin Falcone has texted it in. It's Yogi's dad, his six year old son. Yogi says Yogi wants to go box now instead of school because of this song. He hates it so much.

[D]

All right. Yeah, I just heard a lot of Alice Cooper pop out of the speakers immediately. We're cruising though, boys. It's doing pretty well. We're already on the eighth one area through 20 should knock this down pretty quickly.

[A]

21.

[B]

Good sign or bad sign?

[D]

I don't know. This one says we are Mage and Mood or Majin Mood. They put it in there. So if you got to do that you've already got a bad name. Margin Mood. Local metal band out of Phoenix. As many times we give band names out on this show, I have to have phonetic spelling of your thing to know how to say it. We've opened for Josie Scott and Sixth Sense at the 44. No, we've known that. We know Jose.

[E]

Yeah, okay.

[D]

That's. That's somebody we've heard.

[C]

44.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. You don't know. You don't know Josie Scott. He's been. What was. Band Sliver. Yeah, I was gonna say snot, but it's a lot. Another bodily fluid. And we've played many local spots around town. We are almost done recording a 13 song full length album with the guys at Full well Studios. Be out later this year or early 2026. You can find our EP on all the major streaming platforms right now. Majin Mood. I don't know what Majin means, but you're gonna make me look it up. Majin Mood is the band and the song is called Ultron.

[A]

No, it's gonna be like a nod to my grandfather or something.

[D]

Yeah, it could be Margin. Could be him.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

All right.

[D]

It's Ultron from Mood. Let's see what they've got. It's Pallad.

[E]

No doubt. You having a clue? No mercy. He's coming for you. Get away from me. Away from me. Not how I'm supposed to be. Not how I'm supposed to be. Keep away from me. Oh, the man's trying to eat.

[D]

I like the Sopranos ones. They get me every time.

[C]

Just clean up that corn a little bit.

[D]

Clean up the corn.

[C]

I heard corn.

[D]

Oh, you hear some corn in there?

[B]

There's a little bit of it with the drums.

[D]

The best part. Yeah, music was fine. That little riff is good. Would cut that whole intro out again.

[B]

You said it. The best. Would cut that first little guitar thing out.

[D]

Just start right when it goes.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

And then your singers no.

[E]

Hear the words you say sometimes. I mean, who talks like that?

[D]

It's John Holmberg here from the morning sickness for lifechangeloan.com I had a friend text me the other day and he was skeptical. He was like, there's got to be a catch, man. Math is absolute. It can't lie. So we went to the computer, put his info in the little equation. Life lifechangerloan.com and found out that his loan, which he owes $523,000 over the next 27 years on, could be paid off in eight years and he will save 389,000 in interest. That's insane. You should be skeptical. Ask questions, then you'll see for yourself. It's not magic. It's just math. Lifechangerloan.com hey, what's up? It's Mo and my friends at the University of Advancing Technology has been ranked the number one best college for computer science for not one, but two years in a row. Which makes total sense because UAT are always on the lookout for those who don't just embr technology, they live it. From advancing computer science and robotics to cyber security, gaming and artificial intelligence, UAT is where innovation thrives. So if you're ready to lead the next tech revolution, visit uat.edu.mo. and don't just study tech. Live it. Holmberg's morning sickness.

[B]

Yeah, that's about it.

[A]

No.

[D]

Yeah, that's it. The singer is not doing you any favors as far as, like, the way he's presenting. Maybe he can sing, I don't know. But I didn't like his performance.

[A]

John, you had me doing this last year. I was listening on my AirPods last year. I've switched to listening to the radio to see if I hear things differently. And I do. Yeah, things sound differently.

[D]

Very true. That is very true. Headphones. Well, I take mine off to hear this and back and forth to hear them in the speakers in the studio. It does sound different. It doesn't make it better or worse. I didn't like. I didn't like March and Mood, and evidently it's from Dragon Ball Z. I didn't know that.

[B]

Oh, this one guy said majin means can't sing.

[D]

Right. This one says it could be cut in half. The studio stuff sounded good. The singer's voice sounded drowned out. And I think that's what I'm hearing.

[E]

I didn't.

[D]

It just wasn't coming out of the song. It just kind of sat in the background.

[A]

Not to be that guy, but is it clear as it is to me that the guitarist paid for everything in that band?

[D]

Something about that. That's when you can start differentiating. Who had the money, whose dad's financial. Says, every. Every year, you guys remind me of why I stopped going to small local shows in 2001. I missed the basement at the Nile. It's true. Other band members have the ability to hear the lead singer, because I don't. It's true. Says, does anybody understand that songs can change tempo? Everything is the exact same speed, and it's driving me nuts.

[E]

Yeah, you.

[D]

You can. You can mix it up. That's just writing Again, not a great song. I'll give it a four.

[B]

Giving it a four for. For the music.

[D]

I like to be the same.

[C]

Five.

[D]

Five for Brady.

[E]

All right.

[D]

All right. These guys were in it last year and they were fun. Rattlesnake Suitcase. I got a rattlesnake Suitcase. Oh no. Rattlesnake Suitcase was a group of dudes that just. They clobbered it last year they were four fun. Or was it last year or two years ago? It was two years ago because they were out at.

[A]

Because they were in the finals.

[D]

Desert Ridge.

[E]

What?

[A]

They weren't in it last year, but yeah, two years ago they were in the final.

[D]

Say hey home boogers. We did miss out on last year, but we are back. We're the four piece rock and roll band Rattlesnake Suitcase from Phoenix. Taking influences from all your stepdad's favorite rock bands and taking beer from your fridge without asking. Here's our single Love Ain't Free from our debut Naa H. It's a deluxe edition. I don't know what that means. Much love. And we hope to see you guys. So I hope you see us drinking beers in the parking lot. That's right. When I was walking in two years ago to the. The finals, they were in the parking lot guzzling beers like a tailgate in the back. Back of a. Like a. It was like a mom car too. It had like car seats and stuff. Rattlesnake Suitcase is up now. Love ain't free. It's Palladio 2026 and so far we have a clear cut leader. It's loving free from Rattlesnake Suitcase. Let'.

[E]

I'm a smooth talking heartbreaking love making man Always aim to please and I do what I can but don't think twice about asking me to play Nice dress to the nines and I'm feeling fine Been on around the block about a million times if you want my recognition then do better than your scripted line so spare me all your little schemes Cuz my love ain't free if you look straight into my eyes you'll see my love ain't free. I'm a kid stealing, wheeling, dealing some of gum do not real bad I'm always on the run but don't be surprised if I'm not by sunrise New kid, new town brush on the ground nocturnal let them all hear me out I'm open up the mouth Let me show you what I'm all about it. In little sks cuz my love ain't. Free yeah you know what it mean to w me and I don't want.

[D]

To hear that word here again.

[E]

My love ain't free yeah, you. You know what it means so why me and d. Me is a privilege indeed. Don't anchor it down me with the face and see if you look in my eyes you see my love. My love ain't free yeah, you know what of me so why me and diamond is a privilege in me don't head going back with the face I see if you look in my eyes you'll see my love ain't.

[D]

They made it. Brady didn't check out of that one. Brett and I did. Did not check out. And deservedly so. You can tell when somebody cares. And that was good production and, you know, good performance.

[C]

Classic rock.

[D]

Yeah. Songs kind of a little bit.

[A]

Somebody tell Penny back that the Penny was discontinued.

[E]

It.

[D]

It sounded very much like that stable of bands Nickelback brought in.

[B]

Saving Abel.

[D]

Yeah. Saving Abel. Theory of a Dead Man. All those bands that Nickelback put under their wing and carried forward. It. That doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. The song didn't make any turns. It was linear.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

But it was good. It's. I think if you get the right producer, that's a country hit. I don't think it's as rock as jelly roll could. Jelly Roll could.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Jelly roll could crush that. Chris Stapleton could manipulate parts of that. It wouldn't be the same song because it needs more. It's very verse. It's 100% verse.

[A]

Is it just me? I. I didn't actually mind the song, but if I'm being critical, couldn't that song have ended in about three different spots?

[D]

Yes. And you wouldn't have noticed. This one says they were right. I could see my stepdad loving this. If he was gay. Christian. It's enough you guys with everybody being gay. Says. I don't know if it's just because all the stuff we've heard prior to it, but I felt like God gave me some sweet relief with this. Nothing's playing over the singer. The drugger drummer kept time.

[A]

That good mix.

[D]

The metal and country blues thing kind of works for them. It's like K rock. If he was a good musician. All right. Take a swing at Kid Rock through Rattlesnake Suitcase. This guy says, here we go. Clearly these guys know how to record a song. That's true. These guys need to move to the Midwest. The song would be huge. That is true. In Indiana. This would be a monster.

[A]

Oh, I was thinking Oklahoma, but I guess that's not.

[D]

Everybody kind of says, I felt. This is a great way. Said I felt trapped listening to that. Not trapped with the band, but it's like, yeah, you kind of are in it. And you're like, come on.

[E]

Where are we going?

[D]

Where are we going? This is almost a thing. You're very close to a song there, Brady. What do you give that one?

[C]

Seven.

[D]

Seven. From Brady Brett.

[E]

Six.

[D]

That's what I'm doing. As well as six. That puts them second place. Behind who? You know who.

[E]

Let me tell you a story. A man named Piss Ball beat his dick so Smiley pissed on his ball.

[D]

Really? All I need for the rest of my life.

[B]

Matthew said, so that's since that song went all the way to the end because of Brady. Are his headphones on? What's going on?

[D]

He's struggling to hear. Says a good production on that last one, but that homo song was boring. Guys, enough. Stop calling everything gay. I feel like I'm in an 8th grade school school bus. And the sad part is I laugh every time because I find it amusing. Because technically, I'm like forever 14. I don't know how old I am. I just know how old I feel. And it's way too immature to be. It's awful. All right, next one up is Bad Skin. No Plans is the song. So solo acoustic guitar artist. No plans. There's one Dude. Dude, apparently is the name of the song. Artist goes by Bad Skin. Real name is Chris Coombs. I knew that was mbs.

[E]

Coombs.

[D]

I'm gonna say Combs in the way you said it. Coombs, you're an idiot. And again, appealing to my 8th grade mate. Cannot wait to win this thing 100%. He says. That's what he puts in his bio.

[A]

That's a bold proclamation, buddy.

[D]

All right, kid. Well, song is called what's a. Was it no Plans is the song. Bad Skin is the person performing it. Solo guy acoustic. Let's find out what he's got. It's Palladio 2026 on 98 KUPD.

[E]

I've been waiting in line.

[D]

I'm losing.

[E]

My mind Trying to be chill.

[A]

I'm.

[E]

Losing my will Just back it up and I'll be on my way away.

[D]

I feel like I've been stabbed on a heart.

[E]

Asking if I have any plan. She calls on me.

[D]

She shows me.

[E]

The weed she gives me a price that one looks nice. Just back it up and I'll be on my way no offense. I just think of it.

[D]

That was legendarily terrible.

[A]

I think you're right. That is a new Jason Siegel in that.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Did he record that in his car? It took us all a second to realize we're not Brady. He was singing through the first 15 seconds. Nobody.

[C]

I didn't even know that.

[D]

The song is called no Plan. And Greg says, good thing he's got no plans because he can get some time getting music lessons or treating his bad skin.

[A]

All right, stop with the Cobain references.

[D]

Gay, gay, gay, gay, homo, homo, gay. Thank you very much. That was a shameless gay grab.

[B]

I know. John said, stop calling everyone gay, but.

[D]

Then he plays that sound. That's. You know what? It wasn't. It wasn't fair.

[A]

What happened to Lullaby Story time?

[D]

Bruce said, I believe I've just had my suicide song chosen for. For me or the one I'd like to play at my funeral after the fact. That was in a car. I heard traffic in the background. He claimed he was going to win this and he put a 100.

[C]

I heard a little bit of guitar. That was. That was it.

[B]

I've heard Adam Sandler sing better than yes.

[A]

John. I had one vision in my mind after you read his bio. Then the song plays, and all I picture is a solo guitarist sitting in his room, legs crossed over, staring in the mirror as he's singing.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of James Gum in that. I'm worried about making fun of him because he's gonna hurt someone. This one says, I think melanoma is a preferable thing to listening to that again.

[B]

Man.

[D]

Call Major Tom. Tell him we're going down.

[A]

Wow, John. I'd call that gay, but that's an insult.

[D]

Yeah. No, the gay thing is, John, you're a real a hole. Says, don't play anymore or don't say any more gay stuff. Then this pops up. Everybody yelling at me for the same thing. Type of music is what Kirby smokes weed to man to give Brady that song to take home. One personal. Like, that's. That was. Go ahead and put a one next to it on my name, Brett.

[E]

Phew.

[B]

I'm going a zero.

[D]

Going with a nothing.

[B]

Can't do it.

[D]

Ready?

[B]

Can't do it.

[C]

I'll do one.

[D]

All right.

[E]

Oh, wow.

[D]

It's down in it till they don't find the middle of that. When he hits the high note or hits that note, tries to.

[A]

John, come on. Be honest. You're of an age, and everybody out there right now has went to high school with this guy.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Thought he was playing guitar. Made him a singer. Who girls would swoon for. And then he plays, and it's like, oh, repellent.

[D]

There a reason why he doesn't have any other band members?

[B]

Reminds me of Animal house, where that guy's sitting there singing on the steps. And B, she comes up and smashes. Get the guitar.

[D]

Says, I never thought I'd rather hear a commercial with Toledo shilling away for bread than I want to hear right now.

[C]

I think the dude did it on purpose.

[D]

No.

[C]

I'm gonna win it 100%.

[D]

And he recorded it in his Kia.

[A]

Should we give him a chance?

[E]

Live?

[A]

He can be the sixth man.

[D]

No.

[E]

Wow.

[D]

That was just. It was more the recording. Who knows?

[B]

Mark writes, don't worry. He killed himself right after recording that. No longer in the running.

[D]

He loves Kurt Cobain so much. I don't want him to do that. But still.

[A]

This text I'm. I'm scrolling down, so it was in the middle of the song. It says, jesus Christ, Homburg, will you kill this dog already?

[D]

Come on. Let the guy love his dream. Dandar snuck back back in. They got a singer now.

[A]

Dude, he's playing at Starbucks in the Roosevelt district later today.

[D]

This guy says, holy Brady's God, Holmberg. All right. It's called no plans. Because now we realize he has no plans on getting laid anytime soon. Maybe he'll go to Charlie's. In that case, everyone will have plans with him.

[A]

Is Mo still around? Can we bring her in for some feedback, man?

[D]

No.

[B]

Holy. Yes. Brady gave it a one. That's beyond bad.

[D]

Brady. Yeah, it was more just the recording. I don't even know why you're wasting everybody's time putting a song in your car and then sending it to us with bravado attached to it. I'm gonna win this thing. Veins of aether, the woodworks, and whiskey famine. That's what's coming up right around the corner as Platio rolls on. Day one, I got. Got one song out well, too. We're okay, but. Oh, all right, Brent. We might have been right. I was. I told you I wanted to go 35 and 5, and it does not look good right now. Let's keep it going, though, Platio. We'll find that needle in the haystack eventually. I think. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect.

[A]

Grill for the best breakfast in Phoenix.

[D]

At 56th street and Thomas Road. Still streaming morning sickness online at 98kupd.com.

[E]

There it is.

[D]

Remember when Metallica did that thing with Lou Reed? This makes me. This makes me want to hear that Big Mistake album.

[C]

I think this is the first time I heard the vocals.

[D]

Yeah, and normally we'd make fun of you for being deaf because you are, but you're not. In this particular case, it's the thing. So somebody had a text that said, no, plan B. Should have gotten rid of that one early. Sorry, Chris, Somebody's got to tell you. And then Kyle, who listens to this every year, says, you know, I realized this is a historically bad start to play. Do you know, usually there's two bands or three bands in the first 10 that I could see. You know what? Maybe they're going to be in the finals. But outside of Piss ball Pete, who was really only in it for one reason, because that was hilarious, all these bands have sucked more than Troy and Michael on a Friday night. All right, last gay joke. That's enough. But Michael and Troy don't. I don't. I don't think they even perform like that. Veins of aether A E T H E R A ether Aether. I don't know what that word. Look that word up real quick, Brent. A E T H E are aether. Anybody know what that is? I'm not smart enough that says hello. The band Veins of Aether would be honored to participate in this year's Palladio. You sure about that? Veins of Aether, hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, carve their sonic path with hard rock infused modern metal and electronic text textures. Fronted by Sam Richardson, an emergency medicine physician. Nice. Whose experiences with life, death and loss bleed into deeply emotional lyrics, the band channels raw authenticity and narrative depth. Their upcoming debut ep, Fallen Hour, introduces Veins of Ether as a band intent on honoring the genres of hard rock and metal with uniqueness all their own. Find Aether.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

What is it? You don't seem excited about definitions. There you go. I'm gonna read it.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, it's long.

[B]

That's what I'm saying.

[D]

Ancient Greek personification of the upper air. Or primordial God. A discredited 19th century scientific theory of medium for light waves.

[B]

That's why I had you read it.

[D]

Or modern theoretical concepts that are compatible with Einstein's theories. Oh, lot going on there. It also is an obsolete spelling for ether and put an A in it.

[C]

That's what I thought.

[B]

We'll go with that.

[D]

Sounds better than wacky spelling, mythology and.

[B]

All that kind of stuff.

[D]

Anyway, let's see what they've got. They sound through their bio that it's a thing. Guys, we got a lot of songs to get through today. Bud, stop talking and BS and let's get through this. You know what, Junior? You're not right.

[E]

Wrong.

[D]

We do have a lot to do today, Junior.

[B]

All right.

[D]

Veins of Ether. I gotta find it. Where'd it go? Mage and moods. There it is. Veins of Ether is. The song is called Siren and It is number 11 on the day one of Paleo 2026. Here we go.

[E]

We drift on broken waves. Here I'm alone own you were myself in the world. Now you're gone, gone, gone But I try to find a way to turn the tide. You are here Never. Lost outside silence GR out your name all the time. When the sun sets on low the sun sets on low. We drifting broken waves. Singing down our girl Was it worth the cost? But I try to find a way to turn the tide Turn the tide. You are here never we say. Out your name all the same. When the sun steps are low the sun steps are low. Rise falls the sky Highs and close hearts are close all the sun sets unw the sun ram. The sun.

[D]

There you go. They made it all the way through. That was a close one. All right, boys. There you go. That is Veins of Aether song. Was called Siren. They sounded like a real band. You didn't have to like the song, but that sounded like a band that was actually trying, I guess sound like.

[B]

Real music in the middle there. It sound a little like that corn Skrillex thing.

[D]

Or a little corn. I didn't necessarily care for that little disparature, but it was something I heard a lot of nothing more. And then I heard Shinedown and a little weirdly disturbed sometimes. Like the vocals. At least I heard a lot of nothing more.

[A]

Little Miles Kennedy in his voice.

[D]

Yeah, that little Miles Kennedy kicking in there. They sounded like a real band. And I don't know if it's because they just followed this up.

[B]

Is that what he was saying?

[E]

If we have any plan.

[C]

Plans that can't be real.

[D]

That's real, Bry. He was convinced he was going to win. I. I actually didn't mind that. Brad, I'll start with you.

[B]

I guess if truly a 6. But going coming after that one, I would have given him a 7.

[D]

But you want to give it a.

[B]

I mean to go six.

[D]

Six. Brady.

[C]

I'll go seven.

[D]

I think I'm going to go seven. Also. This one says it's a nothing more sound. John. They sound very similar, but good. Production quality was good. I don't know if it's because of bad skin, but this just sounds so good after that. The voice has been done before by better bands, but it's much better than what we've heard. That's what I heard. I heard a band. I heard. I heard something that wasn't this. Is someone torturing him?

[C]

Do we know where he is?

[D]

Yeah. Somebody call?

[B]

Yeah, he's hanging out somewhere.

[D]

No, no. We need a wellness check. This guy said, I heard Queens right every. See, that's the thing about what we just heard from that band was Veins of Ether is that you reminded us of a lot of things we like and still didn't quite pinpoint what you are. Yeah, it sounds like a bad song by a good band.

[B]

Yeah, I can see that.

[D]

I think that's exactly what you're hearing there. I didn't think the song was terrible. It just wasn't crazy good. Seven's good. Next band. A nice job. Veins of Ether.

[B]

Gay or not, I'd crank this in my car.

[D]

All right. Proof that gay can be good, says Michael Michael Jones. These guys have a good producer. That was a good producer. That was a well produced song. But again, on the heels of what we'd heard, the words that he's saying are stop asking if we have any plans. But he hits the guitar so hard it says stop skin. If we have any plans.

[A]

Where he was, he was mid breath on the A.

[D]

You guys won't mind if we listen to that? You don't mind if we listen to that again?

[E]

Jesus.

[A]

You turn it up.

[D]

No.

[E]

No.

[D]

I'm gonna sing. Stop. I have poop in my pants. It's getting funnier. Sorry. It sounds like if the Bee Gees on their deathbed. Goodbye, Barry. We're gonna miss you, buddy. All right, next band is the Woodworks. We're the Woodworks, a heavy alternative four piece band from Tempe, Phoenix. Here's our song threat. Thank you.

[C]

That's it.

[D]

I love that, boys. It's a good one. I like that.

[B]

They already got points for me, for the bio alone.

[D]

The Woodworks song is called Threats. Let's see if they're any good. It's 98 KUPD. Good luck.

[E]

Didn't seem very far away. Oh, the man's trying to eat the out.

[D]

Oh, my.

[E]

That.

[D]

I feel like I've been stabbed in the hot.

[C]

I don't want to hear that word here again.

[D]

I'll say it again. What the is there to think about. In this case? I'm thinking we spare John's dress. Guys, what's happening? That's the same singer. That's Faustia. Yes, That's Faustia. We found him her.

[B]

311.

[D]

Faustia. That's faustia. That's. They're related.

[E]

They're.

[D]

They're twin brother and sister.

[C]

Right.

[A]

Now turn me up.

[D]

All right.

[E]

Ah.

[D]

Don't do that to me. I can't listen to that.

[A]

A little bit faster.

[D]

That. I don't know what that is. Like the beginning of 60 Minutes with a seizure. But yeah, they're now. I don't know what's going on with that one. I didn't like that at all. Brett hated that the second it started. Brett?

[B]

I'm giving him a one for the bio. Yeah, I said I would give him a point. So.

[D]

That bad.

[B]

But it was pretty bad.

[D]

Hey, tell Yoko to not submit anymore.

[A]

Everything about it, not just her.

[B]

Listen, toots, leave this singing to the men.

[D]

Oh, man. So this is actually Teemu Katie and the Hobbs man. Oh, man.

[C]

Three.

[D]

Brady goes three. I can't decide on whether to give it a number.

[B]

What the is there to think about?

[D]

No. Yeah, I'm just saying, like maybe just an R. I think I'm just giving an R. An unquantifiable thing. A shape, a circle, a zero.

[C]

Fail.

[A]

I'll put r down.

[D]

I. I'll give it a two. It's not good. It's just not good.

[A]

No, it certainly is not.

[D]

No. And then Ed Gein over here dropping his bombs. Oh, my God.

[C]

Tonight.

[D]

So what are you gonna do later tonight? I just want everyone to like me, that's all. Thanks, Ed Gein. Thanks for. And it's Bad Skin is the name of this.

[A]

I'm gonna win this.

[D]

Bad Skin. Mother said I would probably win it, so I think I'm going to. Thanks, Geen. Bad Skin. The song's called Bad Skin. It's harder to wear bad skin from a corpse.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Next.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Whiskey Famine. This sounds good so far in the attached file is our song Streams of Whiskey for Palladio. We are a bunch of hooligans who get together to make some music that blends traditional Celtic songs with modern punk and thrash metal. My brain started to put that together and that was like put some liver in that spaghetti.

[E]

Yep.

[D]

This spaghetti doesn't have enough fruity pebbles in it. Creating something unique to Arizona, where the only traditional Irish thrash band around. Maybe a reason for that. A lively bunch of musicians who are here to bring the ruckus. I am Chris Daly and I am the drummer of Whiskey Famine.

[A]

It's not Irish.

[D]

No, it isn't. That's right. I hope you enjoy our music. Let's hope we enjoy your music. Music too. Let's hope for the best. Here from our friends in Whiskey Famine. Right. Streams of Whiskey is the song. Whiskey Famine is the 13th entry for this year's Playo contest. Let's see what they got.

[E]

The last night I slept I tripped I got his big hand I shook him by the man now he passed the time of day question all his views on the crux of life's philosophies he had left his view clear and simple was to say he said I'm going I am going and let you in our winds when he blow it I'm going where I'm going With a screams of whiskey I'm flowing. I'll head down to the Chelsea I won't get on my feet But I leave that around my back Because I going I am going Bam. Trail wings baby blowing I am going I am going My strings are wish me I'm flowing it no.

[D]

The out.

[E]

That I'll say it again what the is there to think about the words that he spoke? When the world is dark and I need the light inside me I walk into a 50.

[A]

Sorry, I missed that one.

[D]

A bomb in the song. On top of it, we got a Kersey in there.

[A]

Bunch of mix.

[D]

That's right. That's your Drunken Mitch.

[C]

It should be called March 17th.

[B]

Expect nothing less. Yeah, I'm gonna give him an extra point now.

[E]

Why doesn't it.

[D]

Yeah, he just popped him up. Why don't they ever call themselves March 17th? That was 17. The March of 17.

[A]

Guys they have heard flogging Molly, right?

[D]

Yeah, but that's, you know, that's what this person.

[B]

Much difference you can do with that. I mean.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

Says they're Dropkick Murphy's retarded cousin. But you can't. That's what you're doing, though. That's what they do, right?

[A]

That's the intent. They told you that.

[D]

This one says. Okay, fun fact. If you listen with headphones, the bagpipes just beat your ears to death. I can't hear anything but bagpipes, but it's fun. From the stuff I'm hearing, I believe there's also a flute of some sort in there amongst the snares. Yeah, and it's just, you know, that's production.

[E]

John.

[A]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it needs more gang, vulgar vocals to make the chorus tolerable.

[D]

Well, that's what Irish music is. And people are like, oh, it sounds just like.

[C]

It is.

[D]

Irish music sounds just like the last Irish music song you heard.

[C]

They're pulling wenches at the Renaissance.

[D]

No, they're not, like, crazy. They're out there. That sounds like if Guy Fieri picked the song. Oh, man. Wow.

[A]

Was he singing in Gaelic as well? I couldn't understand a word.

[D]

But again. Okay, Matt Silcock. Enough. This drop kick Gay. All right, all right, enough. We get it. It's the word of. It's what they do, though. I mean, that's what that stuff is, I assume.

[E]

It's good. Yeah. I don't know.

[D]

I didn't like that one. This one says, I think we got a winner from Micah Slayman. Micah Slayman. I think we got a winner here. This one sounds exactly like what I like to listen to. The Irish music is ironically, only for the Irish. They're the only ones who like it. You very rarely see, like, Jenny from Africa hanging out there. Let's go up over to that Irish pub and listen to those guys. I love Irish music. Said no one in Africa ever. I'm not a fan of that. Brett, you're not either. They're good at what they do. Yeah, it's good for The. The. The bars that allow that. And on March 17, you've got a job for the rest of your lives. As far as this goes, I'll give you a five because you're kind of.

[B]

Oh, we got flogging homos that came in.

[D]

All right, let's see. Five. Five from Brady Brett.

[B]

I hate Irish music. I just can't stand it. But I'll give them a four because I think. I think they're good at what they're doing.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

But, yeah, at a certain point, it's.

[B]

Just not my thing.

[D]

All right, Reckless Eden is next.

[A]

No bio.

[D]

No bio.

[A]

All right, we have a personal connection.

[D]

We know one of the people in the. The band.

[B]

I have the bio if you'd like it. He. He sent it to me. We don't want to read it. Just go, no, no, no.

[D]

It's just legit.

[B]

Yeah, it's a legit bio.

[A]

Going to say he didn't to me.

[B]

I didn't send it, but if you need it, here it is. I'm like, no, we're good.

[D]

And the only thing we know about these guys is one of the guys we used to. That used to sort of do freelance work for us here is in the band. And also he worked in, like, real music, so this should be for years. High quality, at least production because he was pals with big bands, like, big real name bands. So let's see if Reckless Eden. The song is called Skeletons. Let's see if Reckless Eden's got anything for us here. It's 98 KUPD. Good luck. One can find.

[E]

Pain a smile we wear the mask so well behind this h It's a living hell we're all afraid of what they'll see the broken parts we try to keep we try to keep Building walls We're digging graves Hiding shame Drowning in the lame Shadows are the ones you know we'll never leave we're all skeletons in our buried deep shame.

That's what here we have to we have to preface this that I just remembered. Sanjay sent us that when it came out and asked if we'd play it as a wake up song and we did. Yeah, Long time. That was a long time ago. That was what it's supposed to sound sound like though.

[B]

This guy made up a good one. He says, I thought we were on commercial break and this was just a song on the radio. Like it's not bad.

[D]

This guy says, is this the Deadliest Catch crab fishing song? It makes me want to go king crab fishing. Says, who put this good band in here? This isn't gay. Is this Holberg sneaking in again?

[E]

No.

[D]

I wish I was in that song. We've snuck in before and made people mad. You know what you're talking about. We win it. That was outstanding. This one says, and just to keep the theme alive, they sound like a a homosexual. Blackstone Cherry. Oh, okay. Not gay. Why aren't they on the radio? Let's skip right to the chase. Plato is it's I agree. That song was great.

[C]

Love the ending too.

[D]

Oh, the whole. Yeah, it got to it.

[E]

It was.

[D]

That was just really. You know, those are pros right there. That was good. People are actually saying, I'm looking it up. What is that? Vance, Reckless Eden. It's funny because they came out of the closet to make room for skeletons. All right, the gay jokes have taken over for you guys actually playing.

[B]

Daughtery feel to it.

[D]

I can see that. I've told Sanjay this before with other songs he sent me. I'm like, I love the singer's voice. I want him to be even bigger. Like, it almost feels like he's holding back because when he hits that chorus and that's song. Yeah. That erupts. I was.

[A]

I was saying it earlier. If you give that to a country artist like Hardy or. Oh, Jelly Rolls or Jelly Roll or something like that, I think that song could be.

[D]

If Jelly Roll did that, it would be a massive hit. And because it's not Jelly Roll.

[A]

Yep.

[D]

It's. They've got to work for it. But if you just said, here, buy this, and he did that, that thing would be a beast. Sister five finger meets Disturbed. Damn good. From what I just heard mixed well. Feels like they love music. I'd book these guys immediately for a show. Genuinely potential. You may have something there. It says, yeah, that. Try to remember now, you did play that as a wake up song. So maybe we have to disqualify them, man. And also we have to disqualify me. Just realize Sanjay's in Lithuania. Yeah.

[B]

They can't play anyway.

[D]

But yeah, this one says that's a perfect mix. The vocals and instruments. They have a good producer. The member is a. Yeah. These guys have been hanging out with. I mean, Sanjay was with Shinedown for years. Years doing PR and photography.

[A]

He was their primary photographer.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Well, if they can't play tomorrow, you know, if they make it.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Scratch.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. And they said that in there.

[C]

In.

[A]

In his email to me. Want to hear it played?

[D]

I agree. People. People saying, skip them for the Palladio. Just get them on the air. Song's a perfect 10. It's a great song. Shut the contest down. That's the winner.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Says, I thought I'd heard this before. I was listening when you played it the first time. It's memorable to that point. And it's been months. I remembered it when we started playing it. I'm like, oh, right, we did this before.

[A]

John. You say it every November. So please hear me when I say this. Other local bands that have already been played this morning, listen to this track again, for production value alone. Pay for production.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

That is a great point that you're all local bands and we've been pooping on a lot of you because what we just heard was two songs after this. Tell me you're incapable of making something sound really good. There's a reason we're tough on you is because sometimes this stuff pops up. These are local guys, right? It's not like Sanjay's rolling in dough and he's throwing 10, $12,000 at a recording. He's not. Those guys put that together because they're. They're good at it and they got quality people around and that was great. I will give them an 9. Actually, I'm going to give it a 10 just because I think that's where I'm going. Yeah, you know what? Throw it up there, Brady.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, it's not. I mean that. It's a scratch, though. I mean, it's got.

[D]

Yeah, but still, it's a 10. That's our perf.

[B]

We've had bands that couldn't play before, and this is one of them.

[D]

That's just a perfect score because it deserved it. That was really good. Really good. It said 100 blackstone cherry and daughtery Mix sounded too good for. For Playdoh. Now if you're in a band and you're listening to this and you've already been played and you thought we were too hard on you and then you heard that, didn't you, deep down in your heart go, oh, I see. Now don't you have the self realization to sit back and go, oh, that's. That is what it's supposed to sound like. And don't yell at me. We don't have any money. Then you're not ready.

[A]

Then you're not ready. You don't magically find money and then get.

[D]

You're being too tough on us for not being good enough. Did you hear yourself?

[A]

Yeah, exactly.

[D]

Because that's how it should be, what we just heard. You don't even have to like the song that much, but that's how it should sound.

[A]

God damn American rock and roll. I just called Ice on myself after listening to that song.

[D]

Not Reckless Eden. Excellent job. That is one we're going to look at, I hope, and. And say, hey, we knew those guys.

[A]

Please understand when I say this, John, it's not a slight, but that song does not belong in the playo. It is a real song.

[D]

It's a real song. That's what we're looking for. Somebody to Pop like that. I did. My favorite part of that whole thing, just arrogance involved there is that a couple people thought it was me, you know, I would produce something excellent. But we're not in it this year. I was talking to Marty, the guitar player in the band I play in, and he said last night, he goes, you know what we could do? I could just show up tomorrow at like 3:30 and we'll throw something together real fast and throw it in. He said it'll be better than like 90% of it. And I'm like, unfortunately that just. That's true because Marty's such a good producer and that's what it takes. It's production, the quality of man. That was good. Reckless Eden. All right. I feel bad for this next band. Hopefully they're good. It's called Witness Protection.

[E]

All right.

[D]

And they had to follow Reckless Eden, which is one of our maybe two or three bands that have gotten perfect tens across the board over the years. Sanjay and the boys I'm proud of. That's outstanding. We are called Witness Protection. Therefore the names have been changed to protect all the Italians.

[B]

I like it.

[D]

We don't have a band name so we're working on it. We, meaning the two of us, have been around for a very long time. We post music on platforms. We have other stuff to do. We're influenced by everyone, so we're like a fruit basket at a funeral. The concrete, the concrete shoes of some of our former friends and the tides of the ocean. We've been around for a long time and made music to whatever has moved us. Vinnie, vocals, guitar, synths and a host of heart medication. Other Vinnie, more sense drums and sometimes the cowbell. The host and a host of heart Medication. For us, this is just a name in the name of fun and hopefully helping Palladio miserable again. Be miserable again this year. The takeaway here, even if we are buzzed, we still have four kidneys between us. Oh, and even amount of kidneys. You sons of of. Come on. Did you write that back? Toledo's response to this email was, come on, you can dummy up a decent bio and no names. Have chat GPT do it.

[A]

Well, he said. He said we don't really have a bio. And I'm like, come on, man.

[D]

You dummy it up.

[A]

Then he did it.

[D]

All right, going to reveal what the band is called. Witness Protection.

[A]

Oh yeah, don't reveal.

[D]

And the. The song is Breath of Poison. Good luck to witness protection. It's 98. We're in Pallad.

[E]

Satisfaction in the air tonight. World of Fools under flickering light Void of thought they swallow the sound Their lies of truth keep spinning around.

[D]

Endless.

[E]

Cries Mind deception of control it's all in me Marching blind me Other God still in mine. Headless leaders they stumble and fall Corrupt to their core they poison us all A puppet show on a hollow stage Words like smoke just fueling the rage Endless cross can't travel Pain Deception of control it's all in Marching blind Many other God still in mine. Eyes wide shut they dream of chains Whispers of freedom Lost in the rain A system built on a house of sand but who will rise? Who will take a stand? Endless cry can't stand the pain Deception of control it's all in vain Heard of shame Marching blind Media than God stealing mine. Hey.

[D]

What's going on? That's the best song cupd plays. What was that? Unbelievable. Witness protection. Breath of Poison. Toledo's convinced it's AI.

[A]

I'm not convinced. I, I, I just wonder.

[D]

It's fantastic.

[A]

No, I just wonder.

[B]

For having the displeasure of following Reckless.

[A]

And I'm not.

[D]

Oh, right.

[A]

I'm not crapping on it. All I'm saying is it still takes skill to get AI the right way to do that. We played around with it long enough. I know it takes some skill to put that out.

[D]

Guys, we're four removed or removed from that point. Wow. That was spectacular. Spectacular. Says for a couple of dudes throwing something together, that was great. To keep the theme though. I bet they're gay. Stabbing Romstein rocks. I want to go to a witness protection show right now.

[A]

So do I. Stabbing Romstein.

[E]

I love it.

[D]

Two in a row. We get back to back. Incredible produced bands that want their music to take off. Cancel this contest. We can't top these last two. How do we know? I would have said cancel it after Reckless Eden and then that happened. I liked. I liked that more than Reckless Eden. And that was a 10.

[A]

John. Please have Toledo reply back to all other 28 or 38 bands now. He got the number wrong. All of the bands with that track. And just say if you can't match this.

[D]

Yeah. If you don't feel good about yourself. That was outrageous. Breath of Poison is a banger. Witness protection. If it's not the Pistols guys, it's these guys. Yeah. Breath of Poison. Now this singer doesn't piss on his balls. Solid tracking production there. I mean, if that's AI. And that was great.

[A]

Somebody said, I think the guy nabbed it from. From an AI. This is what he says. F1 Studios Producer Edition. Which is an which is a new thing that came out. I saw it last week. Released a sample of what a band did on their program. The electric sound sounds just like this one with a copy and paste. Again, if it's AI that is fantastic.

[B]

He just emailed me back, says it's honestly not A.I. the only thing that is A.I. is. It is a studio help app. So kind of dialing stuff in.

[D]

It is not an AI song. You could. You could perform this. Yeah, I knocked out. That was that literally, to me right now, if that was on this station would be an around the blocker. I call it. As you get in the car and it starts and you're almost home. So go around the block to hear the whole thing. I. I'm going to give another 10 out. That's two in a row.

[B]

Yeah, me too.

[C]

Yep.

[D]

Can we reveal who that is? I just found out.

[B]

Oh, wait till the end.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah. Keep it a surprise.

[D]

I just found out.

[B]

Yeah, I did too. That's why I emailed him.

[C]

Like, what the.

[A]

He wanted me to keep it.

[D]

Keep it that. Honestly, that those last two.

[C]

I'm disturbed.

[D]

I want. Like that. I want both of the. That was amazingly good. Breath of Poison. We'll play that again. Just add that to the list.

[B]

Now that song's in my head.

[D]

That's a.

[B]

Play it again.

[D]

That. I agree. That is a smash rock song.

[A]

If I could say anything, I would only say that the lyrics are a bit cliche. But what song doesn't have a cliche lyric? It's how you remember.

[D]

Well, if you're going to be extra critical to everything, you're going to find something. And I agree. There's going to be something in there where you go, ah, they could have. This one says the only thing missing from that was an Irish flare. No one's ever said that. That's never been said.

[B]

That was amazing. So was the last one.

[D]

Wow.

[B]

This is actually going to be an awesome show. I'm going to.

[D]

Tomorrow night. Copper Blues will be down there downtown watching the top five bands. And I mean. And then one of them. We only get like 15 seconds out of it. You know what?

[E]

He pissed on his ball.

[D]

They Might Be Giants is mad they didn't write that, man. Two in a row. I don't even know if I Now I. Now I feel really good. Really bad for Graves of Monuments.

[A]

Right.

[D]

Everybody's guessing that it was Doug Hopkins.

[E]

It's not.

[D]

We'll tell you who it is later. But it wasn't Graves of the Monuments. I feel bad for you. Guys, because you just followed 60 points in two bands. Song's called Suffocate. You got a bio for that one?

[A]

Oh, you want to do that now? I thought you want to do.

[D]

No, I got one more. We'll go one more.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

Then we'll do the last four on the other end. Holy smokes, guys. Nice job.

[E]

Wow.

[D]

I'm sorry, Happy. Brett. I told you. Here's the. Here's a great bio for this.

[B]

We've had two. Let's not get carried.

[D]

Calm down. Don't. Why poop on it? Why poop on it? Brett. Thanks, Keen. Ed Gein with an entry this year. Here's the best bio of them all.

[C]

Hello.

[D]

We are Graves of the Monuments.

[E]

Love it.

[D]

There it is.

[B]

Got a point automatically.

[D]

Graves of the Monuments song is called Suffocate and they are following some really great stuff. Let's knock this down, see what they've got. Graves of the Monuments. Good luck. You're in a tough spot.

[E]

Sam. Wash out the blood from my eyes drown out the emptiness I am I saw my destiny for my eyes a casket parade and my chains out I. Am I fall into fuck when no one was around I'm despise, Memorize me, you never fail But I will keep on living it maybe I won't be afraid.

[D]

It's trying to eat.

[E]

Sam.

[C]

What is happening?

[D]

I'll let him finish. I don't know. No idea.

[E]

What's going on.

[D]

I should have played it earlier.

[B]

I would have liked it more.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Graves of the Monuments. Had you played before the last. These two guys, the positioning for them stunk. But not my cup of tea. As Brady says when he hates something. But they're very good at what production was good? Oh, everything about it was on point. Graves. Is it Graves of the Monuments. Yeah, they were really good at what they did. You can really hear that. Like, Toledo set off the air. You know exactly. When the Adderall kicks in.

[E]

Yep.

[D]

That dude hits that like he's at the. Suddenly he jumped to the hardest level of a video game and his feet just go.

[A]

Guy says, john, I have to be honest. All I can think of is, oh, that's just cute. They're trying to be tough.

[D]

See, I hear that with that music. Yeah, but I liked that one. And normally that pushes me out. Man, I liked it. If I'd heard that live, Brad. If we were at a concert together and we're down close and we're like, who the hell are these guys? I guarantee you the crowd would have started the mosh pit. Started rolling with that without thinking that these guys are just some local band guys.

[A]

I recognize that there are people who will like that song a lot.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Not in my house.

[D]

Yeah. Ain't allowed in my place. Yeah, it's.

[C]

I just thought a couple of the transitions were weird. The change. A couple we were talking about with the Adderall.

[D]

Kind of what that style does. Although it was a little abrupt occasionally. But look again, it sounded bigger than a local band contest, which is what looking for. I'll give them an eight. I'm gonna go seven seven. Brady. I'll go seven seven as well. I'm riding high on the last three. Guys. We're gonna take a break here. I don't know how we've done this, but Plato was actually. Kevin Falcone says, you know, I work out when I listen to your show. These songs are actually getting me going. Some of them.

[B]

Well, the last three.

[D]

Well, let's. Let's take a little. Did he hear it?

[B]

Sounds like an outtake from little Nikki.

[D]

Somebody said it sounded like when Buddy the elf tried to sing and he was like not real confident anyway. All right, it's 8:50. Palladio just had three songs in a row that I hope I hear again on the radio soon. Great job, guys. There you go.

[B]

Oh, did you read Ryan Howells?

[D]

No. Ryan Howell says Guardians give it a 10 if I'm reading their smoke signals correctly as I drive past the rest. All right, Ryan One. Guardians do love.

[E]

Oh yeah.

[D]

I guarantee if it was an all Guardian vote, that band is number one right now. Yeah. Graves of the monuments. Prepare for some Guardian love. Cuz it's coming your way. You guys are going to make it on the res. It's 8:51. Pleo is rolling along and I'm beaming. Great job so far. Outside of the first 10 or 11. It's 98, KUPD, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect with stays under $250 a night. VRBO makes it easy to celebrate sweater weather. You could book a cabin, stay with leaf views for days. Or a brownstone in a city where festivals are just a walk away. Or a lakeside home with a fire pit for cozy nights with friends. Or if you're not a sweater person, we can call it Corporation Corduroy Weather. More flexible. And with stays under 250 a night, you can book a home that suits your exact needs. Book now at verbo.com still streaming Homburg's Morning Sickness online at 98kupd.com Moscow all right. Is that legal that I'm doing that? Adding Moscow to the legal id?

[E]

Sure.

[D]

If it's me, it gets it. Yeah. I mean, legally, it's. I don't know, man. You guys are all asking us now. This one says, if I were an NFL team owner, I'd leave a game early to catch those last three bands. That's exactly. If you weren't listening to the opening of the show. I saw Michael Bidwell at the rah Rah room 15 minutes before the Suns game started, which was about 17 minutes after the Cardinals game ended. And somewhere another he was already@the matchup.com Center, America West Arena center center matchups, footprint mortgage matchup. That's right. So I've started the wild speculation earlier in the show that I think Bill Bidwell is going to sell the team or at least is interested in selling the team to the Ishbia brothers.

[C]

Michael Bidwell?

[D]

I said Bill again. Well, to me he's just Bill's chunk of Bill. Chunk of Bill's a great band name, but bottom line is the owner of the Cardinals is standing there at the son's game 15 minutes after an overtime game had ended, and there's no way he got there without leaving early. No other, no other owner in football would get away with that. Nobody pays attention to the car.

[C]

I'm going to let you in on something.

[D]

What's that?

[C]

He's the gorilla.

[D]

Oh my God. You knew this the whole time? You bastard. They made the poor gorilla walk on his hands all the way down the stairs the other night. That's mean. What? What is this guy willing to risk for entertainment?

[B]

Anyway, we had a suggestion from Dave. He said, if you guys have time, can you guys play the top three songs at the end of the show? Maybe.

[D]

We, during that commercial break just played Witness Protection again and people are asking where to get it. I don't know.

[B]

I got a SoundCloud link.

[D]

Oh, you're putting it up on our Facebook.

[B]

I will.

[D]

That was great. I'm not kidding when I say that that's one of my favorite songs I've heard in a long time. Metallica Avenged, Sevenfold. Anything else comes out new? That one got me. Maybe I'm overstating it for myself. It might wear thin. But I loved that song, Breath of Poison. Great stuff. And then we had Stuart from Mad TV pop in. He's the one that's gonna write email. The management really just have people on to make fun of them. No, we don't. We had you on to make fun of you. You did that. You could be a wonderful person. But stop that thinking that you're involved in this. It's like bringing a left handed mitt to a tryout at a baseball game. Like I'm right. I throw left handed, but I got a left handed mitt. So I'm going to use it for both.

[A]

Jim Abbott's one of my.

[D]

It's like a guy going, I'm going to win this pool tournament. What is that? It's my broom. You play with a broom? I ain't got a stick. You're not supposed to enter this tournament. Morningstar. Haven't that a band in the 80s?

[A]

Gangstar didn't.

[D]

Wasn't Morningstar banned in the 80s? Yeah, it was.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, Midnight Star.

[D]

Midnight Star, you're right. That's what I'm thinking of.

[E]

All right.

[D]

Morning Star is different. And they spell it out of the natty. Yeah, they spell it Sad sadness, Morning M O U R N. Mornings. Like All Star says, it formed in September 2023. Mixing thoughtful melodic hooks and heart rending.

[E]

Heart rending.

[D]

Heart trend. Heart trending courses. Is that a word? Heart trending. It's not hard. Hard for. It's heart trending. It says brutally heavy riffs reminiscent of the golden era of thrash. Morning Star is not limited to one genre. We create songs that get stuck in your head, deep with emotions and filled with power. This is our goal and that is our sound. Video for Imperfect Perfect is set to be released in January. Thanks, Casey. Casey has submitted his band, Morning Star. The song is called Imperfect. Let's see what they've got. And a nice little run here. We've been on a nice run, gang. Here's Imperfect from morning star. It's 98.

[E]

Sam. Me. To what you come true and how you feel today for what you did not do. All I see is imperfect all I know is I'm broken. I. Away from me and now we meet again. Just like baby sam.

[C]

Oh.

[D]

That is Morningstar Imperfect. And. Yeah, that one had me, lost me, had me, lost me, had me, lost me. That's. I guess I would say get a producer behind that one and make it less. It's meandering. It's a little sloppy.

[C]

Great riff.

[D]

Great riff.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Pretty good song. Actually. There's certain parts when it lost me, it lost me a lot.

[C]

They just went for too much.

[D]

Yeah, there's too much going on. Simplify that thing. And I think it's. I think you got a good one. And I did. I thought in the beginning, like something was Wrong with the vocal production. Maybe it was just me. I have to listen again, but sound a little screwed up. And again, in this day and age, no reason for bad production. None. None. You should have no production issues. And, you know, use. Use AI say, how is this? Clean this up for us. It's a tool. It's no different than Pro Tools or editing or a mix or a sample or anything else. We have to pay for that, then pay for it.

[A]

Pay for Pro Tools. You have to pay for everything.

[D]

That song is almost something. So I'm gonna give that thing a. I'll go six. I want to go higher, but I go six.

[B]

My five for the riff.

[D]

Okay. You didn't like the rest of it?

[B]

No, it's just good. Like you said, it just got messy.

[D]

Yeah, it got a little messy. All right, next one is Thomas James Band. I like the name Tom James. Thomas James Band. The bio says nothing. Song is called Stone Cold Killer. Band members are Tom Forsey, AKA Thomas James. Just be Thomas James James, man. The B member of the band because they listed him abcde. Tom depoy, known as Tommy D. Jeremy Rogers plays the drums. Christopher Marchant plays Key, Saxon Vox and Michael Morris's bass and vocals as well. Song is called a Stone Cold Killer. It's on Apple, Spotify, Amazon. Band is called the Thomas James Band, and they're ready to go. Number 18 for day one of Palladio, which popped, by the way, was kicking us in the balls for an hour. And then for the last hour or so. Can we say Brett?

[B]

Yeah, life.

[D]

So let's say the Thomas James Band puts one on us now. What do you say, boy? Stone cold killer. Let's keep the streak moving forward. We're doing all right. It's 98 KUPD Sally sad sit on.

[E]

The side of the road. At this for why not if you're still in now are you still in? Cap? Staring through love her boat left long ago having the skills doing B is a will said something I think you should know I'll give you survives I got a long time ago I'm a guy that was here before you youu say you leave your heart on the side of the road and pick it up when you through you know you got to be so cold then from the bottom of the D you do a stone cold killing machine it dies in your face you can justify the ends from the M.E. make him see what you are Two in the problem in the back D A getaway car casting all the money in the world wouldn't justify Things going far so we'll give you some go. What God was hearing from you, he said it. Leave your heart on the side of the road and pick it up when you were through. You know you got to be strong. You do a stone cold killing machine d in your veins you can just dip on the answer. See, they can see what you are. You. With in your veins you can justify the answer what you are.

[D]

What is going on with Palladio? God damn it. This is not bad. This is. There's another one that kind of had me dance, tapping my toes. Kevin Falcone, father of Yogi, says the Cult meets Guns N Roses. What was the one you had just a second ago?

[B]

Oh, yeah. It's like Freddie Mercury and Aerosmith had a gayer baby.

[D]

From the run of real music is over and the gay is back. Gayer than two boys kissing. You guys are just dying to make gay jokes.

[E]

This.

[D]

That was not that bad. So there have been good bands all along in Phoenix. Where have they been hiding? Brady, you called this while we were playing it. Craig agrees. He goes, that's Huey Lewis in the news. Brady off the air said, put a harmonica in this. That song's begging for a harmonica. I liked it. Oh, a lot.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Thomas James Band. I thought that was catchy, and I kind of found myself. It's nothing revolutionary, but that was kind of the fun of it. It's just kind of a driving rock song. What is happening? I want to hear more. I do. This song's gayer than aids. You guys just want to make the jokes.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

You're constantly saying, john, it's the greatest time to be alive. And you must be correct, because this is the least sucking Plato has ever been. Ben, you weren't listening earlier.

[B]

Thanks for just tuning in.

[D]

We had a nice comeback, but that's all it takes. Greg said, does the lead singer of that band have a speech impediment or down syndrome? Greg. He didn't sound like a Down syndrome. He did. He did do the whole rock band, I can't understand what you're saying thing Kyle says. Is he speaking English? I can't understand a word he's singing. Yeah, see, there's a lot of that. Oh, and then there's the Daniel says, hey, sorry to interrupt the whole thing this morning, but are there tickets to the show tonight at Copper Blues? The website says they're closed for kids construction. I haven't been to a show in years, but I want to see the three bands you've played. Me, too. And it's Downtown, not Desert Ridge.

[A]

Say, you got to be going downtown, not desert.

[D]

Desert Ridge is still working on their wall. Man, that. That was another good one. I like that.

[B]

Just turned on the radio and thought it was a real song.

[D]

Yeah, exactly. Michael Rasmussen said, man, I fear that this means tomorrow is going to be a long day. Oh, yeah. It's like a. It's like a. Hitting your stride in the middle the. Of the season.

[A]

I will say, there's.

[D]

Hey, there's people here. How are you?

[A]

Two gems tomorrow, at least.

[D]

Okay, well, calm down.

[E]

Don't start.

[D]

Don't taint the well, man, way to go. This one says, usually our tastes are very similar, John, but that singer sounded like he was gurgling horse seed. Okay.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Hey, just as you say that, there's two texts referring to gummy puddles.

[D]

Tell me Puzzles. Sing along.

[E]

At home.

[B]

I think that last song was played at the Double Deuce in Roadhouse.

[D]

Yeah, this guy says black crows, jet. That kind of thing. I actually like that song. I'm gonna give Thomas James.

[A]

Is that Dan Bickley's band?

[D]

Maybe Bickley's got a good band. I'm gonna give that a seven. I want to give it more, but I. Seven's good.

[C]

I'm going eight.

[D]

Eight. Seven for you. That still puts him in a good spot. Man, we've had a nice little run here. Double Blind is who we're looking at here. Double Blind is the next band. I don't know what's going on around here, but I'm enjoying this too much. This one said Stone Cold Killer. Is there a new Back to the Future coming out? That sounded like it could start the movie. It was very Huey Lewis. Morning sickness. Hear the words you say sometimes.

[A]

I mean, who talks like that?

[D]

Holmberg's morning Sickness. Double Blind just gives us. Oh, they've got a lady singer. Brett, prepare yourselves.

[B]

But Kitty and Hobbs are good, so I can't.

[D]

That's right. You never know. Double Blind song is called Window out of Here. Tresha Taylor does vocals. Roy Sandoval's on guitar. Guitar. Alex Zimmer is guitar as well. Noah Pfeffer on bass, and John Westcott on drums. There's just a picture of them. And then we play their song. Right. Okay, so we go with Double Blind, Window out of Here. The lineup is when we're smacking double after double. Let's see if we get another one. Here's double blind. It's 90.

[E]

Took the mark on the calendar. Two days, shows. Another year gone by. Look at Myself in the mirror My skin's older, a little dry Will I keep falling down? Down the stair to nowhere it scares me though I know, I know I've been here before Walk out the door of the fair life through the window out of here Leave the all out behind you and let the light of the future by you. Woke up this morning Try to remember the dream I had God, I wish I could make it happen? You got to give me a sign if you care to make a change Give me the strength of I want to change my life now Happiness is all I feel me no sorrow Walk out the door of the window out of here.

[D]

The man's trendy. All right, the obvious joke and I wrote this down is, yeah, leave it to a woman to wreck a good time. We were on a roll. We were rolling along, and I wrote down, okay, and somebody just put up a picture of Green Day, the elderly lesbian. I know. I said, all right, here's the problem with that. It wasn't bad, but it sounded local. And I think it's hard for what we just heard the last five or six songs that sounded better than local to hear local come back. And I heard local. I heard. You know, it's like when you see an artist who's going to stay in his area and you see somebody who's like, that's magnificent. You know the difference. And I. We heard the difference. They're good. The lady can sing, but the song was very local band. Yeah, I guess A to B, cut and paste, kind of.

[A]

How do you listen to. To that production and think that you've nailed it? When Thomas James and just went before you.

[D]

I didn't even hear.

[A]

Production was vastly different.

[D]

Terrible product. Just. The song was very muddy. It's so A, B, C. It was just a real hook.

[B]

Was welcome to or. Teen Spirit.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

That opening riff was standing. How do you guys get gayer versions of Bush on the radio like this?

[D]

All right, the gay thing.

[A]

That's what this said, too. Everything Zen. Rip off.

[D]

Okay, this is a good. Very good south park reference. Did I just listen to Steamy Nicks? Stevie Nicks was a Stevie Nicks thing. It just sounded like she was farting the whole thing.

[B]

Is that the chick from Wayne's World singing again?

[D]

Oh, my God, that's perfect. Nailed. That's Cassandra from that's All Right. You just made me drop at a point. It's Cassandra. I gave it a four. And that has more to do with where it's placed after those. Because it made me realize, okay, we have a higher standard now. The bar got raised. The bar got raised.

[B]

Oh, Brady.

[D]

I'll give it a five. And again, you're not bad at what you do. Double blind, you're fine, but it's. I think you heard it.

[B]

Just work on it a little bit.

[D]

Yeah, you're good at what you do. The songwriting's the problem there. It just wasn't a very good song. This one has this. Ryan says they have a career making commercials for Outbacks. They're gay is what I'm saying.

[B]

Jeff. Margaret said, I'd totally love this if I were a chick from Sedona.

[D]

Yeah, that one had that kind of vibe. It just felt like your. Your, Your aunt had a band and you're kind of liking it. But you have to. You have to. To go see them. But you're all very good at what you do. All right, next one is called An Awful Mess. Better off without you. Better off without you says. Good evening, this is Aaron from An Awful Mess, here to submit Better off without you, the title track of our brand new record for this year's Playdoh. An Awful Mess is an alternative rock band with influences ranging from pop to heavy metal and everything in between. Their latest record, better off without you. It's about overcoming trauma and abusive relationships. Fun. Find a way to move forward and break the chains of the past. All right, good message there.

[E]

I suppose.

[D]

It's called Better off without you. It's from An Awful Mess. Let's see what they've got. It's Palladio. 20, 25.

[E]

6. Try. After everything I've given you you trust keep smiling With a match in the battle for it's all that looks not for me started and we act like we never met I don't want be part of this I just want to forget Take me into the darkest part of your mind the darkest part of your mind. Leave this all behind Leave this all behind. Now I'm thinking about how perfect my life was before you came to break me down I'm thinking right now I'm thinking about how perfect my life was before you came breaking down. It's about time for me to make a choice what I won't regret. The darkest part of your mind the darkest part of your mind. Leave this all behind Leave this all behind I'm thinking right now I'm thinking about it how perfect my life was before Candy. Break me right down I'm thinking right now I'm thinking about.

[D]

I'll say it again what the is there to think about?

[C]

I think a few years later. And I think they're better off being without Stacy's mom.

[D]

Yeah, very much Stacy's mom kind of vibe. Marketable. There's a market for that.

[B]

Lincoln Twink.

[C]

80.

[B]

182.

[D]

You guys are celebrating the gay jokes too much. My Chemical Romance call. They said your band is gay. Dusty. Or that's from Kyle. Sorry. This band has MySpace era written all over it. Gayer. Bless the fall. Okay, I guess. Guess gay is going to be what we call everything. Domestic violence. Do you hear this lead singer? No wonder she beats him. The audience can be real pricks. An awful mess.

[B]

I'm kind of digging Blinkin Park.

[D]

Blinkin Park's pretty good. This one says it's like Nerf. Bullet for My Valentine. Lincoln Twink.

[B]

I can already tell the lead singer's pan are too tight.

[D]

A fitting name. The Trauma is the Trauma. The song in reference to him being gay. What? That didn't make sense. A Trey Light. Yeah.

[A]

Another day to remember.

[D]

Just another day to remember.

[B]

These guys would give shined down type speeches during a show.

[D]

Yeah. So change your name to My Chemical Castration. What this band needs is more domestic violence. All right, that's enough of you.

[C]

Bye.

[D]

That's enough of you, Brady. You gave it a five. Yeah, I'll give it a six. Because I think they were. They're good at it. They weren't. You know, they get a better producer. I think they'd be good. They were like. Brett pointed out while we're starting, it's a real high end sound. You didn't have any depth to that 80s production.

[A]

Very tinny.

[D]

Yeah. It didn't have any balls. It was good though. I didn't think it was terrible.

[E]

I don't.

[D]

I wouldn't. I don't think you're gay. Ish. Yeah, I didn't.

[E]

I.

[D]

It was pretty good. And again, that kind of sound is like. There's a. There's a space for it.

[A]

Yep. Festival around it.

[D]

Yeah. Final one for today. We can keep going.

[A]

You can do whatever you want to do. I think it's your show.

[D]

Oh, yeah. Got my name on it and stuff. Well, let's go until we hit a wall.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

You know, let's go until something. Let's not break this streak. You don't walk away from a heater.

[A]

Look at the title of the next song.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

Apostate is Active shooter. Mass casualties song. Oh, geez, Gonna cost me money. Apostate. Is that how you say that? Active shooter, mass casualty. He's about oh, is what it's about from the depths of your mother's a hole. Oh, God.

[B]

Well, that wall might have just hit.

[D]

Comes this giant talentless douche ready to blow the nipples off of lady boys everywhere. Inspired by family annihilation, Ozempic, and that anal abscess I had in 2017 that I swear spoke to me about Satan.

[B]

I was gonna run to the bathroom, but I'm gonna wait on this one. I'm gonna see.

[D]

All right.

[C]

You're looking for that wall.

[D]

Yeah, I think we might. I said, let's go till we hit a wall. The streak's been good. We've had a lot of good bands. In a row, maybe. Oh, I gotta go to day two already, don't I? It's not on my first page. There it is. Active Shooter, Mass Casualty is the name of Apostate is the band the song. Is that a terrible name? All right, let's see if this is the end of today or if we want to roll past it. All right, here we go. Apostate. It's 98.

[E]

You speak of Satan and selection.

[D]

You speak of monkeys and evolution.

[E]

You speak of this infinite. And I speak of a unique solution. Duty. Good as day.

[D]

I feel like I'm in. Stand in the house. Get another reason I don't live in Ohio. Good Christ.

[C]

Scared.

[E]

Hello.

[D]

Wall brought that up. I said, let's go till we hit a wall. And those guys are like, Kool Aid man said, hold my beer. Kool Aid man hit it and said, I'm not getting.

[B]

Robert Smith called and said, those guys are really gay.

[D]

All right, this song is a prostate, not Apostate. A prostate. I gave my seven year old, a kid, or kid, a Casio keyboard for Christmas. And he wrote the same thing first day. And I know Corey Feldman was trying to get into playdio.

[C]

Is Kip in the band?

[D]

Another guy said, how did Feldman sneak into playdio? It is very Feldmany. It was not good Apostate. That was not good Apostate. Man, we were on fire there for a second. Those are the worst. Satan. It's not even good enough to be.

[E]

Gay.

[D]

When he tells you it's Nine Inch Nails, but he only pulls out three. I agree with that. Thank you, Tyler. Two.

[E]

Three.

[B]

I'm a one.

[D]

You're a one?

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

That was not good. It's just a bad song.

[C]

Can't end it on that.

[D]

I don't want to be. Don't you start. Don't you start. But I don't want to get anybody who talks about you. Know active shooters angry. Do we keep going? Thanks. Trent Gazer when he tells you it's.

[B]

Nine inches but only pulls out.

[D]

I already said that one. Brett, what are you. You got Brady these ears.

[C]

Yeah. Well.

[E]

What.

[B]

I'm still. I'm still screwed up from that.

[D]

All right. That got a grand total of six points. What do you say? Let's go out on a high note. Let's go until we. Let's go till we hit glass.

[C]

We need to be vindicated.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

That. We got time for that, Rich. Oh, we're good.

[C]

Yeah. You?

[A]

I was just about to go check.

[D]

I'll run. I'll run one here. I'll run right here. And then we'll be all right. Then we'll play one more or two more. We'll see. We'll go. Go until we're done. That's.

[E]

Wow.

[D]

Wiser words. It's 9. 29. We're in the middle of Playdoh. Had a nice streak of about six in a row. I don't know that we've ever done that. That might be a record of really good ones. We're going to hand over a couple of these bands. Just say Larry, rotation.

[E]

This is.

[D]

They're ready to go now. Let's get it together, Plato. We'll keep going for a little bit.

[E]

We're.

[D]

We're way ahead of schedule. So this is good. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful rock and radio station. He said fully erect. Still streaming. Homberg's Morning sickness [e-mail].

[E]

All right.

[D]

Right in the middle of Paleo 2025 for 2026. The champion will be the 2026 theme song band. And they're going to write us a theme song. And that's. That's a great thing. People are questioning whether or not the bands that we've liked so far were AI. I've had a couple of guys go. I think that's an AI voice and things like that. We'll find out. That's why we make them play it live tonight. And unfortunately, tomorrow or tomorrow. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm jumping ahead, Brett. I'm trying to get out of it as fast as I can. Here's. Here's some news. Kevin Durant's here tonight with the Houston Rockets. And guess who just said he's not playing tonight for personal. Personal reasons. He's basically saying you to the fans of Phoenix one last time. And I got to give it to Kevin Durant. 28 points a night. Played a lot of games. Here. It wasn't his fault. This team stunk, but he didn't help. And he's gonna get. He's gonna get booed by the fans, I think when he touches the ball. And he doesn't deserve it. Bradley Beal took a beating. Oh, he's not. But I'm just saying, if he would. When he. If he's. If he's on the court, but he's. For personal reasons. Reasons. Come on. The NBA should make him come back. This is an interesting matchup.

[A]

So.

[D]

Personal reasons. Get over it. You're going to work. Everybody's got personal problems. Look, Brett's been going through hell. You don't even know half of what Brett's got going on. Areas. You got a. You got a few people in your family going sideways. Areas. Brady had kidney removed earlier. He missed a week. Personal reasons. Kevin, get your ass on the floor for an hour and a half. Deal with them after. Meanwhile, you got Bill Bidwell running around hobnobbing downtown. Michael. I'm calling him Bill forever. He's Bill to me. They're all Bill Junior. No, no, he's. Yeah, he's. He's basically Junior from smoking a bandit tick turd. Anyway. All right, let's keep going with this. I'm enjoying Plato a little lot.

[E]

Brett.

[B]

Oh, yeah, that last one was a gem.

[D]

All right. No, look, we're going to have some clunkers.

[B]

Yeah, the first 12.

[D]

Why you got to crap on all this? We had so much good happening. Let's try some more. Vindicated. How appropriate that the. Let's hear this guy again. There you go.

[C]

Top notch.

[D]

Nice and flat, too.

[E]

Sorry.

[D]

Vindicated is the band. Vindicated is the song. And after that last one, we may be vindicated. Let's hope you got a bio for Vindicated.

[A]

I gave it to you. Did you throw it away already?

[D]

Probably.

[B]

Oh, well.

[A]

Number 22.

[D]

Veins. There it is. There we go. I didn't know you handed me that. Vindicated is a high energy heavy metal band based in Phoenix. Rooted in the power of precision class. Classic metal band draws inspiration from legends like Megadeth, Van Halen, Fight, Pantera, Testament, Gojira, Metallica, Slipknot, Malice and Chains. Their sound blends old school aggression with modern intensity, delivering an authentic metal experience that hits hard and connects deeply with fans of the genre's golden era. Vindicated has shared the stage while it's going on for a bit. Shared the stage with major acts like Power Man, 5000 Camera, Fear Factory, and the legendary Marquis Theater. The band has headlined multiple Venues across various cities and recently earned the honor of performing as direct support at the world famous Whiskey Ago. All the stuff he mentions I'm gonna do with David Lane as a proud note. Oh, here we go with pride again. Vindicated has received support from members of Tesla and through guitarist Cameron Cummings and built a genuine firm friendship with them. A connection that continues to inspire the band to uphold the same level of pride, passion, professionalism every time they take the stage. And notes about the song. You can't check out yet. You gotta listen to the dams. You can't just hit the button. All right, let's go. Vindicated. Vindicated. Their bios too goddamn long. Here we go. It's vindicated, everybody. Let's see if they can do exactly that. The only Vatican is vengeance, a vendetta held as votive not in vain. For the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vicious smiles of verbiage fears most verbose.

[A]

So let me simply add that it's.

[D]

My very good honor to meet you and you may call me fellow. Oh, moron.

[E]

Your night voices. Why can't you just. Out all these days that I'd say it again. What the is there to think about?

[D]

That was just brutal. Your drummer's having a seizure. I would have stopped at the beginning part. I'd have stopped that song immediately. Got my wallet out and put it right in his mouth. He's something wrong with it. Metronome would be like, I quit. What's he doing? Now we're getting mean because it's the end of the day again. But that one deserved.

[B]

We hit the wall on the last one.

[D]

You decided to push forward. You know what? You're right. That's my fault. Let's stop there, shall we?

[B]

At least we got it out of the way.

[D]

Let's just stop there.

[A]

Probably good places any.

[D]

I'll give them. I'll give them a three just for taking all that time to write that. That book for about biography Brady. Yeah, three, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'll give him a three for their three minute intro before the song.

[D]

And there's another thing. Larry, our program director's in here and he goes, I want to hear a little Vindicated. And I hit the button and it starts. And he goes, I hate when they effing do this.

[A]

Just get to it has no place in that song.

[D]

This guy programs music for a radio station for the last 25 years. I think you getting mad at him is dumb. He doesn't know good music. I hear you guys. Please. Yeah, okay. We've been successful for Larry, Please explain yourself with that. It's even. It's even annoying when you do that on stage.

[E]

Yes.

[D]

I mean, people are standing there and they're waiting and you've got this long drone out right now. The only people who can do it are massive. Absolutely. New bands that screw around with that. We're bored. Got corn on stage. They have the right to do it. Yes. They've earned it. They didn't do it first.

[C]

Usually do it at the very first song, though.

[E]

For Christ.

[C]

Intro into the.

[D]

The Beatles gave you. I want to hold your hand before they gave you sergeant Pepper. They earned it.

[B]

Mild leather pants said this is gay.

[D]

All right, that's it. Threes across the board. All right, we'll stop there. That means we only got nine tomorrow. Oh, no. That's right. Ah, damn it. I forgot. There's an extra 10.

[C]

Keep going.

[D]

No. You want another one, Brady? Brady wants another one.

[B]

He can't hear anyway. This isn't fair.

[D]

That is. That's true. He's had an advantage.

[B]

Advantage?

[E]

What?

[D]

He's had a huge advantage. He can't hear any of this. Well, I tell you what I'm going to do before we go to commercial, and that is. And this is just. I'm tainting the pool here. I'm playing witness protection again. I want to hear this again. I loved this. I'm playing it into the break. Toledo. All right, I'm gonna play it right now. It is a great song. And I, you know, reckless Eden's another. We've had some good stuff here this morning. We'll get our little. Our score sheets together. Toledo will get our top five going into tomorrow. But I. The winner of today, in my opinion. My opinion is witness protection. Who's with me? Oh, yeah. Now, there are a lot of people who think this is AI. A lot. I don't know. We'll find out. We're talking to the guy who is in the band. He's like, I'm going to try to scramble to get this together. I don't know if we can play it live because it's just the two of us. We'll see. I like this one. It's witness protection. It's breath of poison. Today's leader in the clubhouse for Playdoh, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. Still streaming, Homberg's Morning sickness online at 98kupd.com.

[E]

Losing my mind trying to be chill I'm Losing my will Just back it up and I'll be on my way. Don't think they understand still stop asking if I have any plan. If I didn't know her, she be the lady I didn't know Very similar song. And my daddy, she went downtown, she bought some broccoli, she brought it home, she shot him properly.

[D]

I think we're on with something. He's just making it up as he goes. I'm sorry. I can't stop. I hit the wrong button twice. I'm dying over anyway. Palladio. We're halfway home, boys. Holy smokes. We're almost there. So we got to get it together and get ready for tomorrow. Just want to say thank you to all of our sponsors that normally have a part of our show in the morning. Like most money, Pawn Y and Guns. Action ride shop, react defense.com.

[A]

Black Friday sales at all of them, right?

[D]

No Black Friday, but the special going on for react defense, their 26th anniversary. $89 for the month of training. MMP Guns is doing their 100.

[B]

Black Friday. It's all on. It's all on Facebook. So there's. You just check out their Facebook page.

[D]

Tons. Tons of them.

[E]

And then.

[D]

All crocheted. We got that one in there. We're good. I don't even know where to begin. Let's get right to it. Our.

[E]

Top five.

[D]

You got seven of them on there. Because we got a couple of top five.

[A]

First two, we're not sure. Well, we know one can't play.

[D]

Yeah. The one is in Lithuania, so we can't do them. But they're good. Let's start with the number seven is Rattlesnake Suitcase. Loving free. Not terrible. Like them a lot. They were part of this a couple years ago. That's Love Ain't Free from Rattle Cake Soup. Rattlesnake Soup. Veins of aether, which I actually liked quite a bit. Those guys. That one was kind of a fun one. That was surprising. It's called Siren. Had that big intro. That was a big, big problem with it. But it gets going pretty good.

[E]

We drift on broken waves Here I'm alone, you were my cell in the world now you're gone, gone, gone But I try to find a way to.

[D]

Turn the tide this was before we hit our streak.

[E]

I will sing.

[D]

It's a good song. Nice shot there. Thomas James Band came in with Stone Cold Killers. That's got a great groove. I like that a lot. Stone Cold Killer from the Thomas James Band coming in, like, third or fourth. Wherever at Suffocate from graves of the monuments. We've got a good group already. If tomorrow sucks, we're good. Yeah, and it probably will.

[B]

It always does. The second day.

[D]

Isn't it weird that, like, really good bands? Submitted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Yeah, but they were, like, all in a row, One star night. Piss ball Pete.

[E]

Let me tell you a story. A man named piss ball Pete, his dick so small he pissed on his ball hollow.

[D]

You've heard it a couple of times times. Tied for first was witness protection. We just played fantastic song. Really like this song. And you played it for Larry already?

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

And he's like, oh, yeah.

[B]

He was digging it.

[D]

Hang on to this. There's so many people. I don't have it. I normally have a really good red flag or something's wrong vibe. A lot of people talking AI. They're trying to recognize them. People I respect musically better.

[E]

Listen. Breath of poison in the air.

[D]

Brett's gonna put that up on our Facebook page. A massive amount of requests for people who wanted that. And another one that was just fantastic. Fortunately, these guys can't make it because they're not even in the country right now. This is Reckless Eden. Skeletons. And this is another absolutely great.

[E]

There's a secret buried deep inside Locked away Where no one can find pain A smile we wear the mask so well behind this hurt It's a living.

[D]

Hell There you go. All right. That was our Palladio top seven so far with a few ties in there. I got no complaints if any of the five of those bands show up at the tomorrow night Copper Blues downtown to do our live battle with the bands playing. And that's the thing. People are like, well, it's a great song, but if they can't play it live, then what does it matter? And that's why we do the live show tomor it's a thing. Yeah. Let's get the heck out of here. That's. I'm not gonna entertain anybody. You want to do the entertainment drill real quick? You got anything good?

[C]

Sure.

[D]

All right. Go.

[C]

Three movies.

[D]

Reactdefense.com 89 for the month. Unbelievable. We gave them thanks before. They're the best in the world. 25th anniversary. They're giving you the special. Become a sheepdog. Stop being a sheep. React defense dot com. The Home Attack of Black Brady.

[C]

The three movies Eddie Murphy regrets turning down.

[D]

I know. One of them is Roger Rabbit.

[C]

Yep.

[D]

Because he was supposed to be in that. He was also supposed to be in Ghostbusters.

[C]

Ghostbusters in Rush hour.

[D]

Rush Hour. It's a big hit. But Chris Tucker pulled that one. He was. Yeah, Chris Tucker. That's Chris Tucker's movie.

[C]

He chose Beverly Hills Cop instead of Ghostbusters.

[D]

It's working out pretty good.

[C]

He did all right on that Roger Rabbit. When he saw the script, he thought, this is crazy. Then after he saw it, effing amazing.

[D]

Brilliant.

[C]

That's what. Yeah. Especially Romano took the couch where Everybody Loves Raymond wrapped up when it ended, and now they're getting it back for tonight's 30th anniversary show.

[D]

What?

[C]

Took it out of his home?

[D]

No, no. It's the 30th anniversary of everybody Loves Raymond. What? Oh, Robert.

[A]

Robert, we're old.

[D]

I don't know.

[E]

I don't know. Like this.

[C]

Macaulay Culkin once did a stunt on the Tonight show where he let the public vote on a new middle name form. They went with Macaulay Culkin. So his legal name is now Macaulay McCauley Culkin. Culkin.

[D]

I, like, just gave him his name back. That's solid.

[C]

And then Levy, Lenny Kravitz in Australia at a concert in. In Australia. In Australia.

[D]

That's right.

[C]

When he was doing Let Love Rule. That's when he goes into the audience.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Lady ripped out for the dreads of his hair. Yeah. While he's getting body surfing through the show.

[D]

Yeah. Just didn't know. I just wanted to make sure it was.

[A]

You think the carpet matches the drape?

[D]

Yeah, I don't know.

[C]

I hope so.

[D]

If he dreads his pee pee.

[C]

If I could, it's not gonna stop me. This is our moment. I'll keep. Keep doing it.

[D]

Yeah. Just tearing out some dreads. He'll grow more. That's it for us, Palladio. Day one. Brett, you're downer.

[B]

Yeah. First 13 were all right.

[C]

So it's a great day. It's a great day.

[D]

Yeah, it was a great day, too. It was really good. Thanks to everybody who participated, even the people who didn't. And again, if you didn't and you heard what we have in our top five, you should know that you didn't fit in with for a reason. The difference between our top five and people who didn't make it. Drastic.

[C]

Drastic.

[D]

Come on.

[C]

Got a 2 accumulation.

[D]

Yeah, I scored a 2 out of the 3 of us. Pretty good work. That's it. Larry's coming up next with stuff that's kind of established. So we're all right.

[E]

Right.

[D]

Tomorrow we play the last 18, 19 songs. Whatever was left. 20. I don't know. Who knows? We throw those in there and we make sure we've got five. I think we're going to be okay. But we'll maybe we get a couple more in there tomorrow and knock our socks off again. We'll see. Chances are slim. I think we knocked it out today. But that's a good thing. Larry's next. Have yourselves a great Monday and we'll see you tomorrow. Right here in the morning.

[E]

Signals. Hello.
