Hey, it's Brett Vesely, and I'm here with Byron from MMP Guns. Look, Byron, I have a friend wanting to sell some guns he inherited. What's the best way for him to do that?

[C]

Brett, the last thing you want to do is sell the gun to someone who can't legally own one. Tell him not to put himself at risk and come into MMP Guns where he'll get a fair offer and he can rest easy knowing it's not getting into the wrong hands.

Man in the box it is. Holy cow. 6:23. And we're gonna go early with a quick Brady report because we've got to have one. We've got to be informed. And I'm proud to say I made a guy throw up his when I mentioned that I drank the period blood rather than the cranberries. I don't drink cranberry juice. What's wrong? I mean, UTI drink it with vodka. I guess that's okay. But just don't keep those two things close together. And then Rochelle says, oh, that's disgusting. And then she sent me information about what a vampire facial is, and that's taking the blood out of your body and spinning it. Prp, which is really good for you. Prp. And then they put it. They inject it back in your body most of the time into an area that needs, you know, it's. It's Called healing. Well, it's pure blood. Yes, you can heal, but they also do it to where they'll spin it, put it in, mix it with something else. You can rub it on your body. That one doesn't bother as much because it's not menstrual blood. And then Rochelle says, I know, so gross. Menstrual blood has a bunch of other stuff in it, too. And I stopped reading the email right after that because I don't want to. I don't want a laundry list of what's in there.

[C]

Roots and stews.

[A]

More proof that if it can see it on tv, then we can do anything with cuss and scream and anything we want on tv. Nudity. Unless you have a doctor in front of your name, woman or not, you shouldn't know it's in period blood anyway. Yeah, yeah, throw it away. Walk the earth. David says, john, if you could rub period blood on your head and found out that it grows hair back, would you do it? What if Brady could rub it on his belly and grow a kidney back? Brady's got one. You're fine. Oh, he would. Oh, would you rub menstrual blood on there to grow a kidney back?

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like fun.

[A]

Disgusting. How are you gonna. How are you gonna survive the bullet, though, that Brett or I will put in you when we find out you're walking around here with menstrual blood all over your belly? Oh, we gotta kill him anyway. What a twist.

[C]

You know what it'd be like when you're wearing, like, Ben Gay or something like that?

[A]

No, it's not. No, it's nothing like that. The smell may be towards somebody else, but the second it's revealed, it's Ben Gay. Nobody goes, oh, my God, kill him. But you say, oh, it's my wife's menstrual cycle. I wear it on my belly. Oh, Brett, go get your gun. I gotta kill Brady. He's gone crazy. We'll get to that in a little bit.

[C]

Good Tuesday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello, world.

[A]

Hi.

[C]

Happy National Play Day with dad and National Parfait Day.

[A]

Sorry, Richard.

[C]

What do you mean?

[A]

Well, hi, Richard.

[C]

You can afford it with Alex.

[A]

Still though, deep down in his brain, he don't want to do that. You know what he's thinking? Yeah. You know what he's thinking? Yeah. God, I wish I never got this with my dad and his dad's still around. Like it could happen. That's true.

[C]

Couple of basis fun facts. The world's largest island in a freshwater lake is in Manitoulin on Lake huron. It's over 1,000 square miles. It's a big island.

[A]

That small.

[C]

All octopuses are orphans. Male octopuses die right after they mate and the female octopuses die right after they hatch their eggs.

[A]

Wow. They're on their own. By the way, Scott Haynes came up with a great idea is every time your wife rubs that stuff all over her face, take her out into the woods and let the bears have at her. I like that too. Let's go to the ocean and start swimming around.

[C]

Knew that.

[A]

Yeah, maybe. But yeah, just hey, look, let's go over to the SeaWorld and see the sharks.

[C]

Alec Guinness didn't like being in Star wars, so he suggested to George Lucas that he should kill off the Obi Wan Kenobi character to get him out of it. But he also made a fortune. Movies. His contract he negotiated two point. Well, two and a quarter of George's royalties.

[A]

He got two points on it.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Wow. That did pretty well. Man. Have found some other old man. That's pretty good. Yeah. Some other little cheaper.

[C]

You're doing that deal right at the beginning. You have no idea.

[A]

He was really the only star in it. James Earl Jones did the voice, but Alec Guinness was the only one. You're like, whoa. Harrison Ford was in a couple movies but nothing. Yeah. Like American Graffiti and couple of them but nothing special.

[C]

An etiquette expert says Thanksgiving host shouldn't have their Christmas tree up yet. Appropriate timing depends on whether you're you are hosting. If you are. She says, wait, let Thanksgiving happen.

[A]

Yeah, it's a separate tree. Give Thanksgiving it's due is what they're saying.

[C]

But a lot of people, I think, like, if they're putting up, they like to impress people.

[A]

They do that. You're impressed by a tree, that their.

[C]

Christmas decorations are up and it's Jesus.

[A]

How Jonesy are you? If that's the case, you can't go to someone else without getting.

[C]

Didn't you see him last year?

[A]

Yeah, yeah. It's like, oh, they have theirs up.

[C]

And we don't trees up in homes already.

[A]

Oh, sure, yeah.

[B]

But I mean, it's the same tree, right? Same tree.

[A]

But if it's for Jones factor of right, we actually got our work done first.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You move out of that neighborhood. That's weird.

[C]

Another survey of Thanksgiving Food said 40% of the people said, get rid of the green bean casserole.

[A]

Completely agree.

[C]

35 said cranberry sauce.

[A]

Don't get it. That's awful, too.

[C]

16% sweet potatoes or yams.

[A]

I go right back to my. I don't like that. I don't either. I write back to my argument. If you're not eating it during the year, it's bad food. It's tradition. You're eating tradition. You're not eating something. You actually like cranberries. You don't just pile down cranberries in June. Yeah, it's never happened as I eat. Do you? Yeah, here and there. But they're not even easy to find. They started making sweet potato french fries at places. Pissing me off. They'd mix them. Remember when they do that and didn't tell you some of your fries were orange. Like, what the hell are these? Oh, I didn't. Not on purpose, I didn't. I'm not a fan at all. Matthia loves those things. Rather rub menstrual blood on my food. Let's not get carried. Well, I wouldn't. I wouldn't eat either one. It's up there. I'm not. I'm not eating either one. But, yeah. Sweet potatoes are the menstrual blood of the potato family. It's that time of the month for the potato. That's why it's that weird orange stain. Yeah, that and the green bean casserole. Nobody whips one of those up in April. Yeah, you just don't tamales. It's back to my tamale argument. If there were. If they were as good as everybody says, there'd be tamale restaurants, and there's not. It's like the 10th thing you would order if you were at a Mexican restaurant. You're like, all right, I'll have a burrito. We're out of burritos. Oh, wow. How'd you do that? I have a taco. We are out of tacos. What do you have? Tamales? I'm going to La Pinata. I'm leaving. Like you wouldn't stick around for the pina? That they're not that good.

[C]

Let's take some of that paste and throw some meat in it.

[A]

Yeah, you got enough for that. Who made them? We pre make them in a bucket. Yeah, I know.

[C]

I see up in a corn husk.

[A]

I saw Abuela back there rolling them up. And you know we have Saran Wrap now.

[C]

See?

[A]

See, we prefer the corn husk. Oh, God. Worst food on the planet. Morning sickness. Hear the words you say sometimes.

[A]

Holmberg's morning sickness.

[C]

Finally, cops in North Carolina responded to a domestic dispute on Friday after a guy threatened to light a woman on fire when she wouldn't grab him a beer.

[A]

Where's the problem?

[C]

It happened in Silva, North Carolina, about 40 miles west of Asheville. Patrick Tyson was doing some day drinking or morning drinking in this 7:00am it's not clear if the woman was his girlfriend, but she told the cops he threatened to light her on fire and actually tried to do it. He grabbed a bottle of rubbing alcohol, poured it on the couch she was on and lit, burned the couch and set her shirt on fire. Luckily she was able to put that out. She didn't get burned too bad, but the cops said it was enough.

[A]

Was she asleep?

[C]

No, she was just sitting on the couch.

[A]

How fast I can get off a couch that's on fire? How big is this broad? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

[C]

He's facing multiple charges including first degree arson, felony assault with a deadly weapon. Now identify what Patrick Tyson looks like.

[A]

Patrick Tyson lit his fat girlfriend on fire. Couldn't get off the couch fast enough to not get lit on fire too.

[B]

Not to disparage him, but I'm gonna guess a little bit like Wolfgang Van Halen.

[A]

Okay. The old before he lost somewhere. Where are they at again?

[C]

North Carolina.

[A]

Oh, man. I'm go killer Mike size. He's gonna big black guy. Yeah.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

I'm gonna say he's real stringy, kind of almost children in the corn. Real hillbilly. Narrow, slender man look with bad facial hair. That's real gross. And then she's just.

[B]

I don't know if you're identifying both.

[A]

Just a beast. You have a picture of her?

[C]

I don't have a picture of her.

[A]

I don't think there's. I don't think the Hubble was working that.

[C]

They had one picture. They had a picture. It was burnt.

[A]

Okay. She's burnt. She started to eat herself. All right. Yeah. We all have different answers. Oh, it's a.

[C]

He's five.

[A]

It's George Jefferson. James Brown.

[C]

George Jefferson.

[A]

George Jefferson. I would have never guessed he is so black. He's opaque in the photo. Yeah. That is a dark human being. Oh, is he. Is that him or was he burned as well?

[C]

That was him.

[A]

Okay. I'm just making sure that that was straight up. Yeah. That's not soot. I don't know if it was covered in soot, because that wasn't. That wasn't your normal African American.

[C]

It does look like his hair might have gotten.

[A]

I think he's been burned a little bit because that is that photograph. Remember when they got mad because they darkened OJ in that time? This dude got the full treatment. His mug shot is OJ With a black crayon. Yeah. He doesn't look good. He looks like Bundini Brown. You got to Google that. But Muhammad Ali's hype man had the weirdest hair I've ever seen in my life. All right, Brad, I'm assuming you've got a couple videos for us before we get in. I'm looking at Bundini Brown.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[A]

Yeah, he's got Bundini's hair. You didn't see the Bundini Wasn't as dark as this. No. Yeah. Portrayal of him.

[C]

I did send one to Toledo. Didn't want. Sure. If we're gonna do it. It's just a. It's a new one.

[A]

Oh, you got a video, A new person, A new cripple.

[C]

Yeah. Not cripples.

[A]

Yes. You don't like to say that word, but yes, it is. What is it, then? I'll let you define it.

[C]

Facial problems.

[A]

Cripple.

[C]

I don't.

[A]

Crippling, facial problems. We can say that safely.

[C]

Say yes.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Crippling, diseased. Just the face.

[C]

Not sure if it's deceit. Yeah. As far as I.

[A]

Stops at the neck.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You don't know what kind of disease it is.

[B]

No, it doesn't stop at the neck. If you didn't watch the whole thing.

[C]

I watched it, and I blanked on a little bit of it. I just made sure it made the cut.

[A]

He's congested. Give him a break. Everything is congestion. He's dying because he's congested. Okay. She looks like Jabba the Hut.

[C]

Is that real? She does have nub hair.

[A]

She's got Jabba face. What is from North Carolina. She's got, like. Yes.

[C]

Got a nice black widow tattoo, though.

[A]

It looks like if I tried to draw Emma Stone.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

There's some sort of similarity there. Oh, good Christ, Brady. What are you doing with your free time? You have a Dragon Ball Z shirt on, too.

[B]

She looks like the Guy on her shirt?

[C]

Yeah, she does. That might be her.

[A]

What is that called? The disease, not the woman. It's Emma Stoneage. If she put an Emma Stone wig on, it's dark, but it's not redheaded.

[B]

She wears sunglasses straight into her sinuses.

[A]

Yeah, her nose has been.

[C]

I don't think she can blink. Is she blinking? I didn't.

[A]

Her hands are all lumpy. Yeah, she probably has to just do Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson. That was Michael Jackson's gold face.

[C]

I don't think they close all the way. I think they just make the gesture, the blinking.

[A]

I can't look at her long enough to know it's Jabba. She has Jabba the Hutt's eyes. All right. Okay. I can't look at this interview anymore. Put her on there. Got menstrual blood on class. Come on, Brett, show them what to do.

[C]

She made the cut.

[A]

I don't have to make fun of cripples every time, do we? Good Christ. That was gross. And she's kind of dolled up, so she might have some attitude, like she might be one of those girls that thinks she can get a fella instead of just take one where it offers.

[B]

She definitely is, because she got the tattoo.

[A]

Yeah, she's got her sunglasses on her head and her wig. All right, we'll start off mild with this one guy said, oh, no, he's doing something. He's smoothing out some wet cement. And the machine. He loses control of the spinning machine and he's out. Tanks him. Tools. All right, here's a motorcycle action. It's a lady on a motorcycle riding into What? Oh, she's trying to get off the bike. Oh, it knocks her down.

[C]

Snaps.

[A]

It snapped her. Her leg got stuck under the bike and turned it around. Oh, it's completely broken in half. Oh, she's got, like, olive oil legs, too. She dressed like Sailor Moon on a motorcycle. Okay, I don't like the way this.

[C]

Starts because what's next?

[A]

It's Alec Balder. It's a guy with his face in a fat girl's butt crack. She looks like Anne Hathaway ate Brady. Oh, these are just women farting on a guy's face. There's three of them now. All right, now that I know. Starting time for an ass attack. What's she eating? She's blowing. It's in his mouth. I knew Brady like that. Oh, my God. Sexualizing farts. Oh, my God. It's Brady's special planet. All right, then let's. Let's keep with some ass all right. There's somebody with a full fist in another person punching it. Yeah, Creekside. They're on vacation.

[B]

Are they floating? They're on a bass boat or something.

[A]

Oh, my God. That stopped right on time. You don't like the.

[C]

Might be on the Waverunner.

[A]

It sounds like an old man chewing beef jerky. We'll quit there because I know we gotta start. Yeah, we gotta. Nightmare. Gotta start. Platy up, Brett. Can't have you screwing around. Fist and people. How many times your dad say that to you growing up? Stop fisting people. It's time for dinner. We got pledio with 19 more left. 18 more. 17 bands remaining. Let's see if we can find a gem today. We found a couple yesterday, real good ones. So let's see if Platio gets going and we can have a nice day. And then tonight at Copper Blues downtown, we pit them against each other in a battle royale to see who comes out on top for Palladio 2026 and name a champion. Tomorrow morning at 6. 40. Palladio begins again next, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station, he said, fully erected.
