[John Holberg]

There's more of the best of homework's morning sickness. 98 KUPD it's time now for Brady to give you all the news that only Brady knows. That's called the Brady Report, and it's brought to you by all pro shade allprochade.com get you all together. And the great thing is, like we always talk about, you get those motorized shades, those motorized blinds, and the weather's coming this weekend. Gonna be some rain, gonna be some nastiness, probably some wind with that. When the wind gets going, these motorized shades have sensors that say nap too much and they suck themselves back in. Just like Trump and Clinton. They suck it in and then they put themselves away. Unlike those umbrellas that sometimes end up in your pool. And if you've ever been like me, pulling an umbrella out of a pool, that is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Ever. Patio furniture is one thing. I had a table go in once and I waited for summer to get it out because it was the Pool guys like, let's just leave it. I'm like, you're right. That is so hard to get. I was like an eight person table. The motorized shades, they don't do that. They're smarter than your average umbrella and you can get those right now from All Pro Shade. And because it's closing in on winter, on those beautiful days that turn into cool nights, you can still use your patio under your new awning from All Pro Shade because they're going to throw in a heater to boot. All Prochay.com Brady reported there's a guy.

[Brady Bogan]

Going viral on Tick Tock after he got into an argument with a Hertz rental employee. The man had somehow driven 25000 miles in one month in his on his rental, which included unlimited miles in his contract.

[John Holberg]

Oh man, was that around the world once?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. The employee said they'd be charging him $10,000 because of driving 25, 000 miles. Unreasonable. The guy argued that the contract says mileage was unlimited.

[John Holberg]

Limited mileage.

[Brady Bogan]

But the employee argued that the contract didn't prevent them from charging more. In this case, the clip generated more than 450,000 likes. Eventually, Hertz corporate stepped in and apologized to the guy. They said unlimited. Unlimited, yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

There's gonna be a clause in that new contract though.

[John Holberg]

Now, we don't mean you can circumnavigate the globe. Unlimited. Within reason. 25,000 miles.

[Brady Bogan]

A lot of times it's unclear why put that many miles on, but who cares? There could be he was doing a mind your business.

[John Holberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Trying to push it.

[John Holberg]

Hey, you gotta go back and forth across the States eight times.

[Brady Bogan]

Basically 800 miles a day.

[Byron]

What's your response when hey, why are you driving so many miles?

[Brett Vesely]

Why are you writing a goddamn book?

[John Holberg]

I don't remember hiring you as my biographer, Mr. Hertz.

[Brady Bogan]

Driving 16 hours every day and for.

[John Holberg]

No purpose, just to put miles on the car.

[Brett Vesely]

Probably deliver through Amazon or Grubhub or something like that.

[John Holberg]

25,000 miles. He's got to be making a can.

[Byron]

That guy show my kid how to earn some money.

[John Holberg]

Your kid would be living in a 10 bedroom house, running around Tucson doing that kind of mileage.

[Brady Bogan]

There's this. There's a new relationship hack is is on. But it's couples, especially young couples are doing this. They're using chat GPT to officiate their arguments to help them.

[John Holberg]

Oh, solve.

[Brady Bogan]

Or basically a little therapist. Yeah, chat.

[Byron]

Dpd tell me I'm right.

[John Holberg]

So you put in her nonsense and then it fixes it.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, the couple that is doing this, like just leave. And that's a big point. They go, you got to make sure you ask the, the question right correctly because you can, you screw up the argument. You can screw up the argument. You can have it also ask it in your favor.

[John Holberg]

Pretty smart.

[Byron]

Exactly.

[John Holberg]

You have to both agree. I mean, you're in a fight, but you have to both agree what to put into ChatGPT to settle the mess.

[Brady Bogan]

We're saying it could be a good tool if you just need to vent, get general advice or how to move productive arguments. But if you ask something in a biased way, it'll answer biased too, right?

[John Holberg]

It'll do whatever you tell it.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. So this guy was in a relationship with this girl, he's 25 years old. And she would say, hang on, let me go. She'd go in the other room to ask chat GPT the question here, who's right on the argument. But. And then she'd come back and tell him, well, that's not fair. No, you, you both need to be there together.

[John Holberg]

She's too stupid.

[Brady Bogan]

But it could create another argument.

[John Holberg]

Of course it would.

[Brady Bogan]

You're not asking it. Right.

[John Holberg]

When I get in arguments with my ex wife, she'd go in the other room and put her points down and like a PowerPoint bullet point presentation, I'll be right back. And she'd go on a computer and type, I don't speak well, so she'd type it out and then hand it to me and I have to read it in the middle. I'm like, oh, this number three. This is bull. What's wrong with you? And like I'm arguing with the paper. She just sitting there watching NYPD Blue. And I would fight with paper and then I'd be like, what's going on? How did I lose so badly?

[Brady Bogan]

This 27 year old man in Florida was arrested at 2:44am on Wednesday when Trump was emerging as the winner. He'd gone to a gentleman's club to get a lap dance and then he refused to pay the $40 fee. He tried to leave, but the manager called the cops and had him arrested. It's unclear if he was celebrating election day or just doing the Florida things. The man was charged with misdemeanor petty theft, was booked into the county jail and was released after posting a forty dollar bond. Don't have the guy's name. 27 year old man, time to play what does purpose look like?

[John Holberg]

Okay, it's time to play what color is this crime? Okay, give it to me. Headline again. Details.

[Brady Bogan]

27 year old man arrested for stealing a lap dance.

[John Holberg]

Stealing a lap dance. Arab.

[Brett Vesely]

What city?

[John Holberg]

I'm saying Arab.

[Brett Vesely]

Where's it at?

[John Holberg]

I don't know what that means. I'm just throwing that out there. I think that's my way of saying oriental.

[Byron]

I'm going full on whitey.

[John Holberg]

Arab. You say white. Stealing a lap dance.

[Byron]

White hillbilly.

[Brett Vesely]

That's for that magic city.

[John Holberg]

What city was it again? From Florida.

[Brady Bogan]

It's in Florida. Cuban.

[John Holberg]

Just rolled up. No, I'm staying with.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm going black.

[John Holberg]

Stay over there. If you say black, I'm going to live crew. White trash. I say Middle East. Brady. The winner is white trash.

[Brady Bogan]

That's white trash.

[John Holberg]

That's a Middle Eastern guy. That's tech support.

[Brady Bogan]

Damn it.

[John Holberg]

Abby. Dabby. No question that we don't need a name. We know that's I'm a winner.

[Brady Bogan]

Could be Cuban too. Puerto Rican. Cuban. But it looks right off the bat.

[John Holberg]

No, you put 18 other faces around him and you've got 9 11. You've got the headline. When they found everybody. The front page of that paper. When they put all 19 guys up.

[Brett Vesely]

They found a box cutter.

[John Holberg]

Well, the box cutter takes on a whole new meaning of box cutter at a strip club, baby. You want to see my box cutter?

[Scott]

Facebook cutter with a Q.

[John Holberg]

Calling that thing. You're cute.

[Scott]

What's your name?

[John Holberg]

Abadubi.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, the other guy that got busted on Halloween that happened in North Northern California. Got arrested. Well, dressed as an inmate. Kind of like our Scott here. He had the orange jumper and he got popped for a dui. So they show him doing the drunk test in the Department of Corrections. Orange jumpsuit on the side of the highway.

[John Holberg]

You know what? I wish Scott Taylor was instead of his terrible Scotty Scheffler costume. If he'd have just painted his face orange, he would have been that son's pedophile. The orange man. My friend Brian had a good point the other day. What if you showed up in that costume as Mr. Orange? Is it ruined for everyone? Like if Baxter for the Diamondbacks gets caught. If the dude in the costume gets caught being dirty little fondling or something. Is Baxter gone or do we put a new dude in the suit and I don't know.

[Byron]

That's depends on how.

[John Holberg]

Maybe not even more. Okay, so.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, because Baxter's already been.

[John Holberg]

We got busted for weed in his car. That wasn't. I'm talking about pedophiles.

[Brady Bogan]

That's not.

[Byron]

No, that's not.

[John Holberg]

Brady probably set Baxter up because he lost his job.

[Byron]

Because weed is legal now.

[John Holberg]

If I understand it, when Baxter got his dui, it's like he was at Porkopolis.

[Scott]

Just one more on the house.

[John Holberg]

He started driving around with weed in his car. Pay back some money. That, that isn't a. That isn't a thing. That ruins the whole costume. Now if Baxter's got a, you know, a young boy in his car, they do this back. Or the gorilla. I think you're right. If it's the gorilla or Sparky the Sun Devil.

[Brady Bogan]

Right.

[John Holberg]

I think they just give the suit to a new dude and accept it. But Mr. Orange, no fans can do that again.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, no. Yeah. Because that's a.

[John Holberg]

Because it's over.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holberg]

He not only is like Hitler's mustache, he wrecked that thing forever.

[Brady Bogan]

It wasn't big enough.

[John Holberg]

Mister. Yeah, he was getting there.

[Brady Bogan]

I mean, but everyone knew he was a fan.

[John Holberg]

Yeah, but he was. He was taking a lot of pictures. He became kind of a part of himself.

[Brady Bogan]

And that's exactly how the Cowboy, you know, for the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys.

[Byron]

The black Cowboy.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. And then you got the guy in Jets. Jets.

[John Holberg]

Fireman Ed.

[Brady Bogan]

Those guys. You don't replace that. There's another.

[John Holberg]

But that's because they've got faces. But they've got faces. That's right. Like if Fireman Ed, the Big nut for Ohio State. If the Big Nut ends up being Ohio State, people are just going to put a new dude in the outfit.

[Brady Bogan]

In the half and half. Yeah, that's right.

[John Holberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't know. They'd have to change it up a little bit.

[John Holberg]

It's not the outfit.

[Byron]

I didn't know about the Big Nut.

[Brett Vesely]

It's a Philly fanatic or something. Right.

[Brady Bogan]

They just.

[John Holberg]

They stuff another guy in there and go.

[Byron]

But that's also team sponsored. Like Mr. Mr. Orange just showed up.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holberg]

But he was getting some headway where I think the Suns were like, we can use him for some things. And probably gave him a couple bucks. We don't know about here and there. But you can't ever. Like, if I showed up dressed as Mr. Orange again, it's over. Right.

[Brett Vesely]

There's next year's costume for you.

[John Holberg]

I think. So give it a shot.

[Brady Bogan]

What happens if it's the team mascot? You know, like Bask Baxter or Philly Fanatic.

[John Holberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

And it's happened three times.

[John Holberg]

Like three different dudes do it.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holberg]

You gotta get rid of the outfit. It's the outfit what causes it.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holberg]

It's like a horror movie.

[Brady Bogan]

Brady.

[John Holberg]

Yeah. If you Touch the Philly fanatic from the inside. You touch. Yeah, you're right. If it's a third for the third, God, who's hiring these fanatics?

[Brady Bogan]

I mean, you look into the company for sure, but I think they're changing up the mascot, sir.

[John Holberg]

Hiring practices for the fourth time in three years. Dinger's nailing kids.

[Brady Bogan]

What?

[John Holberg]

I won't handle that language. No, no, I said Dinger. Dinger. Dinger. Oh, okay. Well, we can't have that either. Yeah. If any of the mascots do it and they're team sponsored, it goes on. Yeah, but if it's just a dude dressed as Mr. Orange, like, we could like. Because he brought that up and I'm like, that's interesting. If I showed up dressed as Mr. Orange for some reason you can't just. The. The outfit doesn't live. The dude in it ruined it.

[Brady Bogan]

Meanwhile, the purple and other stadiums that always have three or four characters dressed up like the Orangeman, but different color.

[John Holberg]

Right. But if you did Mr. Purple.

[Brady Bogan]

I think it's.

[John Holberg]

And just put a purple bodysuit on, it'd be okay because I think you.

[Byron]

Look at all those Raider guys that are in there. They're made up shoulder pads with all the spikes and everything on it. Those are all interchangeable. And you already think that they're.

[John Holberg]

Well, that main dude in the front row.

[Byron]

But I would.

[John Holberg]

Big spiky stuff gets dressed up every week for that.

[Byron]

You could see anyone like that and I wouldn't be able to tell you if that's the. The guy that is is the main Raider guy, Fireman Ed. I could pick him out.

[John Holberg]

But the Raider guy, Fireman Ed can't. But if Fireman Ed was just a big headed, like Mr. Met, the guy inside can commit crimes and the suit will live on. Mr. Orange ruined the orange suit with.

[Byron]

When the hair. With that.

[John Holberg]

Yeah, that mohawk and the glasses and that. He was kind of cool. I'd seen him walking around every once on the Mist. That's kind of neat.

[Byron]

Was he kind of cool or did he just think he was.

[John Holberg]

No, he was kind of cool. It was kind of a.

[Brady Bogan]

It was cool.

[John Holberg]

Like you'd see him stand up and I'm like, there's that Mr. Orange. And it was usually like he never stood up and things were going wrong. So you always had like a little endorphin rush going in the first place. And then there's Mr. Orange losing his mind. Like, he's on the camera. Sons found him a lot and it turned out he's hugging kids and now it all looks terrible.

[Brady Bogan]

The last little Halloween story is this guy from Oregon set a world record rowing in a pumpkin.

[John Holberg]

I saw that.

[Brady Bogan]

45 miles. Almost 46 miles.

[John Holberg]

Pumpkin is the size of the studio.

[Brady Bogan]

Huge. Yeah. Carves it out. The picture of him in it's pretty cool.

[John Holberg]

And he's. He's living in it like a canoe, right? He's like. Are his feet in there? I couldn't quite tell.

[Brady Bogan]

He started growing the pumpkin since 2011.

[John Holberg]

What?

[Brady Bogan]

He started growing giant pumpkins and 20. 2011 and then. Not this.

[John Holberg]

I was gonna say that.

[Byron]

Wouldn't it rot?

[Brady Bogan]

Jesus.

[John Holberg]

It's John Holberg here from the morning sickness and I'm thrilled to tell you about my friends at Turf Monsters. I got an email from a listener who said he bought a house with a turf backyard. Said the Turf was about 10 years old, maybe older. And he said it flat out stunk, smelled terrible. Turf Monsters went out, did a turf maintenance on it and fixed it all. If you can think of a backyard dream, they can do it. Sport courts, pergolas, lighting of all kinds, barbecue stuff, hardscape plants, anything you can think of. Turf monsters can do.

[Brady Bogan]

And then he started making the boats in 2013 to compete eating the west coast giant pumpkin regatta.

[Byron]

That means there's more than one.

[Brady Bogan]

So it took him 26 hours.

[John Holberg]

That had to come from a dude stealing a giant pumpkin and running from people and throwing it in the water and climbing out and realizing, hey, these things float. And then like a boat race ensued. You're not gonna get away with that pumpkin, buddy. I am gonna get away with it. I'm in a river.

[Brady Bogan]

And the other thing, the big part of it was the wind. That day was only 4-5 mph. So you weren't battling the elements too much because you don't have very much. You got about 4 inches, 4 or 5 inches before the surface of the pumpkin. Like if it starts leaning a little bit, it would take on water.

[John Holberg]

Oh, sure.

[Brady Bogan]

You got to be really smooth.

[Byron]

This is one thing you analyze.

[John Holberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah.

[Scott]

Delicate vessel. And I had to check its maritime properties.

[Brady Bogan]

Don't rock the boat, baby.

[Brett Vesely]

That's another super fan that got busted.

[John Holberg]

Chiefsaholic superfan pleads guilty to string a bank robbery. Oh, yeah, I remember that. But that wasn't the.

[Brady Bogan]

You can replace that.

[John Holberg]

But that wasn't the actual wolf. No, he's super fan. Yeah, he's super fan. So the super faster orange, but he dressed as the actual mascot, which is a giant wolf for no reason for the chief.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, I don't get that one.

[Byron]

But their. Their wolf is the cartoon wolf.

[John Holberg]

What's that like? No, no, they have him out on the field and stuff.

[Byron]

No, no, but he's not a fierce wolf like that.

[John Holberg]

Oh, that scared you?

[Byron]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Okay, well, you know what I'm saying.

[John Holberg]

Don't show Toledo that picture.

[Byron]

More comic wolf. Like that.

[John Holberg]

Like that Casey wolf. Oh, he's more friendly to the children. That other one looked a little wolf.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holberg]

This one looks a little. Yeah, a little dirtier.

[Brady Bogan]

Little aggressive.

[John Holberg]

He's the one who blows down the pig's house.

[Byron]

He's werewolf in London, that wolf.

[John Holberg]

I might give him a cookie and pet him. The other wolf. Ooh, he might slightly r worded. All right. Yeah.

[Byron]

Wiley coyote.

[Brett Vesely]

Chris Hansen.

[Brady Bogan]

He's got a creepy fanny pack.

[John Holberg]

Like a giant rat almost. All right, I'm with you on that one. Okay, I see what you see there. The friendlier wolf as opposed to the pig hating, house ruining wolf that got arrested for robbing things. Wouldn't it be funny if he robbed three pigs like fat ladies.

[Brady Bogan]

I mean there's a school in New York.

[John Holberg]

Yeah, I didn't mean real pigs. They don't have any money. Fat ladies don't have. They've got some cash usually.

[Brady Bogan]

Now it's time for some science news. Hello, I'm Professor Brady Bogan with your science news and rocket news. SpaceX planning to do another Starship launch November. November 18th. And they're hoping to catch it with those chop Giant chopsticks.

[John Holberg]

That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. I mean that is so sci fi the future. And that was the clumsy one because it was the first. Imagine when they start like technology is going to in five years from now when that becomes nothing to us and they're just chucking matchsticks into this one after another. That's. That is such a cool thing.

[Brady Bogan]

The world's first wood satellite arrived at the space station on Tuesday. We'll drop it into orbit soon to see how it holds up in the vacuum of space. And if it works, we might use wood on all satellites someday. Eco friendly. And when it burns up completely on reentry and it won't damage the ozone layer.

[John Holberg]

This is like a cabin satellite just floating around up there. Like Lincoln satellite.

[Brady Bogan]

Nice hardwood.

[John Holberg]

Yeah, I like that. An old, like an old timey 19th century wood satellite. That's what I'm looking for. Far off from the other satellites, the busy noise of the metal and steel in Pluto.

[Brady Bogan]

News it's still not a planet. But researchers think they found the best evidence yet that there's another planet. 9. It's out there somewhere. It could be three times larger than Earth. Hiding out in the Kuiper belt beyond Neptune.

[John Holberg]

Okay.

[Brady Bogan]

Researchers made vampire bats run on a tiny treadmill to study how they metabolize food.

[John Holberg]

And then did Toledo come and pay rent to 1? It's time for rent. But I have to work out first before the sun.

[Brady Bogan]

They're actually pretty decent runners. I saw the video of them on this little belt and they're all four. You know, you have the two legs and then their wings also have little hands on them. So they're like not crab walking but interesting.

[John Holberg]

They're crawling on treadmills.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. And why they got them up to like 11 miles an hour.

[John Holberg]

Please.

[Brady Bogan]

Pretty close.

[John Holberg]

No kidding.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holberg]

A bat can run 11 miles.

[Brady Bogan]

Vampire bat? Yeah.

[John Holberg]

No way.

[Brett Vesely]

Way.

[John Holberg]

I want to see it. Why would they.

[Brady Bogan]

There's a link.

[John Holberg]

When would they ever utilize running?

[Brady Bogan]

They'll scamper on the ground for food.

[Byron]

You don't know that, do you?

[Brady Bogan]

Sure.

[John Holberg]

You're just saying that now because you just two minutes ago found out they can run on a treadmill. You've not seen one running around?

[MMP Guns Representative]

Oh, yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

All the time.

[John Holberg]

You've seen a bat on the ground just grabbing food.

[Byron]

Not a vampire.

[Brady Bogan]

I've never seen a vampire bat. Like, out in the wild. Yeah.

[John Holberg]

Where have you seen one?

[Byron]

Because you would have snatched.

[Brady Bogan]

I had a pet vampire bat for.

[John Holberg]

At the bat zoo.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, a lot of bats. Where?

[John Holberg]

On purpose? Yeah, just in like a cave or something. And they'll walk around. That doesn't. That's not what they do, though. They're just. Those bats are mentally defeated. They're walking around because they've taken away their gift of flight. I've never seen the bat exhibit at the zoo before. I can't believe that's a thing. Assume some bats are hanging around.

[Brady Bogan]

Kirby. The first time she saw bats at a in captivity was in Denver, and she yelled. She was probably four or five. And she's like, no way. Mom, you. You didn't.

[John Holberg]

They're not real.

[Brady Bogan]

Joyce thought bats were the little rubber things. Oh, she didn't think they were real.

[John Holberg]

Well, he's a dumb child at the time. That's kind of a thing dumb children would say.

[Brady Bogan]

Check this bat.

[John Holberg]

This is a bat on a treadmill.

[Byron]

Yep.

[John Holberg]

Does it have wings? I think they've clipped its wings.

[Brady Bogan]

No, it's just a. It's.

[John Holberg]

Oh, he's walking on. Why wouldn't he just get up and.

[Byron]

Okay, this is double speed.

[John Holberg]

They got him running. Oh, there he is. Jumping and stuff. They've had to have given him a shot or something. Bat wouldn't do this. He would just start flying. But I know he's in the case. But wouldn't he. He doesn't know he's in a case.

[Brady Bogan]

Wouldn't he just resort to that squirrel jumping his head once you get to the bat?

[John Holberg]

But he's trying to get out of there, so it isn't that he wants to run. They wouldn't do what Brady said, which is run around if they didn't have a ceiling. You put a ceiling on it, he's going to be like, well, I have to run. That was just torture.

[Byron]

They can take off like birds can. I don't think they can just jump and go.

[Brady Bogan]

They hang upside down. They. They. I think they got a drop to catch air. Yeah.

[John Holberg]

Like Orville and Wilbur Wright bats as they get a running start. No, they don't. Bats hang upside down and just start Flying.

[Byron]

They gotta jump out of something and then.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

It's like the wingsuit that's flying. Yeah.

[John Holberg]

Everything just starts. This is dumb. Never once seen a bat run around. I'm going back ever.

[Brady Bogan]

After I took one out of camp.

[John Holberg]

Nope. You've never seen it take it back.

[Brady Bogan]

It's campered on the floor.

[John Holberg]

If you could drop off the rent sometime before the sun.

[Brady Bogan]

Can't. Yeah. When I was at Camp Akita back in the day as a camp counselor, we had a bat in the cabin.

[John Holberg]

And just ran around and ate.

[Brady Bogan]

No, it flew in at night. And so I took it out similar to what you did with that bird. That was a bat.

[John Holberg]

That was a bat. Made a bat in here. I never once saw it running.

[Brady Bogan]

This one did. I took it down and it still wasn't.

[John Holberg]

You batted it down. Had a pair of Jordans. Okay. You gave it a concussion. It couldn't fly. They hit the ground and then it starts to just kind of walk around.

[Brady Bogan]

I picked him up. I fed him bread.

[John Holberg]

Wasn't scampering. It was running for its life. You make everything cute. Walt Disney got him out.

[Brett Vesely]

He was skipping his way down the.

[Scott]

It was whistling or something. I forget what it was. Everything about it was great.

[Byron]

Was this the camp that your mom always threatened to send you to and she.

[Brady Bogan]

No, that was. That was just the reservation.

[John Holberg]

That was Chief Running Water. She did a racist thing. Said if you don't. If you don't behave, you have to live in a place of people who aren't white. That was essentially your mother's punishment.

[Brett Vesely]

That's before they had like talking stick and stuff.

[John Holberg]

Right. It would have been talking stick. Running Water was the one that she made you afraid of.

[Brady Bogan]

And she's worried about the country again. Yeah.

[Scott]

Look at the bat jogging. Does he wants to not because I hit him in the head with a broom.

[Brady Bogan]

Like chicken on a hot plate.

[Scott]

He's awesome. I understand that bats sometimes do exactly what's happening. It has nothing to do with me damaging his brain as he just decided to hit the side of the broom and then walk around namelessly looking for snacks. That's what I tell myself so I don't feel guilty at all for hitting it. Off you go, little runner. Scamper off, friend. Scamper is a word I use to make it seem like it's better thing. And then stumbling around like tuatanga violoa after a violent blast to this cranium. Look at him go out there. He doesn't want to fly anymore. He's expeditious he's saving us. Saving his energy for the big night run.

[Byron]

He's my friend now.

[Scott]

I call him Michael Keaton.

[John Holberg]

It's my way. And you throw it out there like a fact.

[Scott]

They run around, look for.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, fun fact.

[Scott]

Oh, fun fact. They sometimes scramble around on the ground for food.

[John Holberg]

The homeless ones got no cave man.

[Scott]

My arm hurts.

[John Holberg]

If you see a bat picking up snacks off the ground, it's dying.

[Brady Bogan]

Maybe it's a little hungry, a little hangry.

[Scott]

It's not dying. Jesus wouldn't put it out there like that. Looking for snacks.

[Brady Bogan]

Next one. Some smally pirates coming out of the.

[John Holberg]

Somali.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, them too. Somali pirates.

[John Holberg]

You said smally.

[Brady Bogan]

No, I didn't.

[John Holberg]

Oh, go to the tape. No, we will go to the tape and you'll hear Smalley. Because I thought Stuart Smalley was the pirate, and it's not. Pilots go to the tape. We always go to the tape.

[Scott]

And you always go, well, yikes.

[Brady Bogan]

Somali pirates.

[John Holberg]

That's better.

[Byron]

Bunch of slap jags.

[John Holberg]

Yeah. No, that's not what you said. Don't act like you're Captain Diction.

[Brady Bogan]

Turn your mirror.

[John Holberg]

Hey, over here. You're not Captain Diction. You make mistakes a lot. We catch you, we all laugh. And if the whole room's doing it, you did something wrong. It's like an offensive lineman. If one guy's not blocking, the coach is doing his job for the other guys. If two guys aren't, it's the coach's fault right now. Smally Pirates was your fault. That's why we all started laughing at you.

[Brady Bogan]

You're hearing things.

[John Holberg]

No, we're not.

[MMP Guns Representative]

Clear?

[John Holberg]

Yeah, we're here. Yeah, we are. We hear things. We are hearing things. We're hearing you say smally pirates. Nope. We're hearing things. All right, all three of us.

[Brady Bogan]

Get the video.

[John Holberg]

The hell's a Smalley pirate? Because you're good enough and you're strong enough and you're a great pirate, and people like you get out there and do some pirating. This is my boat now. I'm the captain now. Somali.

[Brady Bogan]

Keep trying to run over it. It was a little bit in that one.

[Scott]

Smally pirates. Smalley pirates. What am I saying wrong? It's your fault. I say words wrong.

[John Holberg]

There. They're just killing them. I love this. The approach when you see them coming in their little rowboats as you just start firing and they always miss. Like, I've seen several of these videos. Not that well. They had some explosives on that boat because that was just a bullet. Those dudes were Coming in hot. I have watched thousands of these. There was a whole dedicated stream of Somali pirates trying to get to boats. And the guys just shoot. And the dudes just start climbing the side of the boat. They got them there, though. They had an ex. They had a bomb. Oh, that blows them right up. This is great. You know what's great about it? Amazon packages will be arriving on time. Okay, okay, that's enough shooting. We've killed those smallies.

[Brady Bogan]

Plowed them.

[Scott]

We got a couple smallies out there.

[Brady Bogan]

Some.

[John Holberg]

Some smally Brady makes them sound like they have marshmallows in between them.

[Scott]

Ooh, smallies.

[Brady Bogan]

Put some chocolate on them. They already got that.

[Scott]

Graham crackers, Smiley. Yeah. They're made of chocolate. Dark chocolate.

[John Holberg]

My fave. Smiley's Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. It's John Holberg here for my [e-mail]. oh, my goodness. My backyard is perfect now that I've turfed it. No mud, no maintenance, no sprinkler repair. No sprinkler. I have a lower water bill, and I have a yard that looks perfect all year long. But that's not all. I've got a putting green. I've got a basketball play court. I've got an unbelievable situation. And I owe it all to turf monsters. If you can dream up a backyard that you've always wanted, Turf monsters is the place to call.
