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?
Byron from MMP Guns
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 M and P Guns where he'll get a fair offer and he can rest easy knowing it's not getting into the wrong hands.
Brett Vesely
Okay, but what if he lives out of state?
Byron from MMP Guns
Easy legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it online. It' really that simple.
Brett Vesely
There you have it. MMP Guns or legalgunbuyer.com the safe and legal way to sell your firearms.
John Holbrooke

You had me cracking up the whole time. I honestly love your station. Had to share a little bit about me. I sing, rap and write my own music. I'm not AI but I do use AI tools to help with things like mixing and mastering. Nothing wrong with that. Some instrument production. I'm really an artist and writer first.

We got to sometimes reminisce about our old girl. Witness protection. Hang on. Let me hold my boom box up. Breath of Poison we accuse them of being AI as Brent Crandall. Good Lord. We're going to get to the point where William's right. 39 bands can't make it. And that Gein sounded guy with bats. Getting. This bumps me out.
Caller or Listener
Breath of Poison in the air.
John Holbrooke
This is such a good song. Brent Crandall nailed it. This is an opener for a live show and a closer for a live show. If it happened in the middle, it would bring the whole show up. Banger.
Caller or Listener
Endless cr.
John Holbrooke
Great stuff. Nice job. And then finally, the other one that can't make it, but we might as well play it as well. Reckless Eden and Skeletons. Man, we got some good ones this year.
Caller or Listener
There's a secret buried deep inside Locked.
John Holbrooke
Away They're everything Hardy wants to be.
Caller or Listener
Behind this hurt. It's so good.
John Holbrooke
All right, There you go. Those are the Palladio top nine. And we'll get as many of those as we can to show up tonight. That's a good group.
Brett Vesely
If Sanjay wouldn't fly in from Lithuania just to play our show.
John Holbrooke
Well, I mean, Beth Sheba's not that far away. She's still listening in her truck, so she's probably in Globe. Turn around. If it's Amazon packages, we'll wait. It's not. Yeah, you will. You got to. Sometimes you gotta.
Show Producer or Co-host
You're right.
John Holbrooke
Right. I won't. He's not wrong. If it's not the same day, you're not buying it. I don't know who to complain to. If it's a day, sometimes it just shows him. Sorry. Tomorrow. And that could be today.
Show Producer or Co-host
Somebody named Gary is emailed in and says, hey, John, just for you guys. So you know, the information about DJ Bathsheba is real. And she is a truck driver. I convinced her last second to put something into your contest. I can happily give you her number if you want to reach out to her. I get her released. Show up tonight. But she is a truck driver and she drives a semen truck.
John Holbrooke
Now she has to show up, get that semen truck over here.
Show Producer or Co-host
She has to work to support her family. But I am trying to get her released so that she can do it for tonight.
John Holbrooke
What's a semen truck? I don't understand.
Show Producer or Co-host
Siemens, the computer company?
John Holbrooke
It was a dark of the moon on 6 June and a Kenworth pulling logs Cab over P We're talking to you Jimmy. Hauling hogs we is heading for bay Is she hauling About a mile out of shaky Town all right. I says, Big Ben, this here's a rubber duck. And I'm about to put the hammer down. This was a hit song.
Show Producer or Co-host
It's okay.
John Holbrooke
You're not wrong. It was when from 1976 to 1981, America was addicted to CBs and truck drivers. I don't know why, but if they look like DJ Bathsheba, it makes sense. But none of them did.
Show Producer or Co-host
John. I'm a little heartbroken. Everybody seems to have forgotten the point of this contest. It was to help us feel better about ourselves when we hear the essiest bands ever. And we, as the listeners, get to go home thinking, hell, I could pick up an instrument and be better than that. All these good bands. Where am I gonna go here? I'm gonna go home and slip my wrist. Cause I can't compete with that.
Valley Chevy Announcer
That even the AI.
John Holbrooke
I got a lot of people emailing about DJ Bathsheba. And this one just basically said, you've been catfished. You bring on DJ bullshit. Because she's not real. The truck driving, beautiful black lady with the voice of an angel. The semen truck. When she's driving a semen truck. This is from the simulation. All right. Well, you're fantastic. Sorry we missed it. Convoy is going to be next year's theme song. All right, that's enough.
Show Producer or Co-host
I'm a driver. What the f is she Haul? And I'll fill in.
John Holbrooke
There you go. You were looking for work. Let's tap out. Bathsheba, pull over at Williams. I want to hear you sing. By the way, I said earlier, I can tell the difference between a girl's pea smell and a boy's peacemaker. Because my giant nose. Okay. And I think Scott Haynes has figured out exactly why. I said, of course you can smell women's pee. It smells like copper pennies. Jew. I'm like, I don't know. Reason to call me names, man. Anyway, well, hopefully get as many together as we can tonight. Still gonna be fun. We'll drink, we'll dance, we'll goof around, and we'll have a winner. And if none of them are any good, we'll let Katie and the Hobbs do again next year.
Show Producer or Co-host
So I. I said to the guys in One Star Night. Actually, the one guy on One Star night, I said, damn it, figure it out. And he says, trust me. I'M not happy with these other 2D bags. I call bandmates. It would be a blast to play tonight. I don't do the eff. Their problem is.
John Holbrooke
Yeah, they don't want to. I don't know that's the only reason.
Show Producer or Co-host
Or they can't.
John Holbrooke
John Gordon, can you fill in? John Gordon, can you fill in for 16 seconds to learn? You listen to it eight times, you can learn it. Hell, I'll sing it. That's a long line for that job. I can do that in a. Sit here.
Caller or Listener
Let me tell you a story. A man named Pistol Pete his dick so small he pissed on his ball. Can do this.
John Holbrooke
I forgot the holler. I'll get that in rehearsal. You got all day. You're fine.
Brett Vesely
You have.
John Holbrooke
I've got all day to work on it. We got a big old convoy. All right, we'll take a break. We'll do the entertainment drill. Thanks to everybody who participated, even the sucky ones. You know who you are. I don't want to shed a light on it, but. Stop it.
Show Producer or Co-host
I'm inviting him tonight.
John Holbrooke
You know what? Let's get Bad Skin down there.
Show Producer or Co-host
The one year the one kid showed up with his mom, didn't he? The one that we really trashed that.
John Holbrooke
We were worried about a little bit. Yeah, he did show up with his mom. Where did you record this?
Commercial Announcer
The car?
John Holbrooke
Maybe he's in the back seat of his mom's car on his way to school.
Show Producer or Co-host
Too big. That's a van.
John Holbrooke
You think him? He's pissing people off on the bus is what he's doing.
Brett Vesely
Shut up.
John Holbrooke
I can't do it. I can't do it.
Show Producer or Co-host
All right, I have an explanation from another member of One Star Night.
John Holbrooke
Oh, Drama.
Show Producer or Co-host
Hey, Dick, let me tell you a story and apologize for Jacob never mentioning that the band wasn't even a band anymore. And Piss ball Pete is 20 years old. With that said, thank you, guys for all the love, and feel free to use the song as. As if it's new as your new intro when none of these other jabronis can write a better song.
John Holbrooke
Not even a band anymore.
Show Producer or Co-host
20 years. That's why they can't make it. Yeah.
John Holbrooke
Yeah, but if he could go, guys, we're getting the band back together, it would be even awesome. All right, Anyway, let's do a break. We'll do the entertainment drill. Plio's over. And I liked it. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect.
Episode: 11-25-25 – Recapping Playdio To This Point and Listing the Finalists (and Possibly Changing the Finals to Next Week)
Date: November 25, 2025
Hosts: John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Brett Vesely, Dick Toledo
Theme: Recap of the Playdio band contest, challenges with finalists' attendance, Playdio’s evolving logistics, and plenty of playful banter
This episode focuses on reviewing the progress of the Playdio band competition—a signature event where local bands compete for a coveted winner’s spot. With Thanksgiving week complicating logistics and several top bands unavailable for the finals, the hosts navigate which groups are moving forward, recount memorable auditions, and riff about the contest’s spirit with their trademark irreverent humor.
Despite the chaos and absences, the spirit of Playdio lives on with the hosts’ trademark mixture of sincere music appreciation and sarcastic, irreverent wit. Whether or not the finals happen as planned, they celebrate the good, roast the absent, and remind listeners that sometimes, the magic of local radio band contests is as much about the personalities and the chaos as about the music itself.
