I'm taking you home with me. I mean, you can't find shoes this good just anywhere. Find a shoe for every you from brands you love, like Burk in stock, Nike, Adidas, and more at your DSW store or dsw dot com.

[Brett]

You thought that was funny?

You were laughing like a hyena when he said it.

[Unnamed Co-host]

What the hell is wrong with you?

[Brett]

That's a solid one, Brett. All right, I'll. I'll let you win a late. A late season victory with that one. That's pretty good.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Yeah, me too.

[Brady]

Brady was solid today.

[Brett]

Yeah, I know. This was a topic he was afraid of. How did you find the song? What. What did you go.

[Unnamed Co-host]

I was listening to a couple of songs that I didn't like. I'm not sure by the title.

[Brett]

Okay.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Like, if I've heard this song, I kind of heard that one. No, I. I just went down a list of Aussie songs over the years, and. Same thing. A couple that you like when you're talking about Perry Mason. I thought that was a lot older than what it was.

[Brett]

Sure. But did you go to Apple itunes and just go down the list of songs?

[Unnamed Co-host]

No, I just went straight up Aussie songs and went down the list.

[Brett]

Not bad. You did well. Everybody did well. Kudos from all the emailers, too, saying, nice job, guys. That's a good one for Ozzy's birthday. A nice tribute to the.

Prince of darkness.

[Brady]

I might have to go back and listen to Osmosis now.

[Brett]

I know Osmosis. Look this embark at the moon, too. That's a good day to do it. Last time we did this, it was because Ozzy died and he's got his birthday today. 77. It's time now for Brady to give you all the entertaining news he knows. We call this the entertainment drill. And that's brought to you by our friends [e-mail] celebrating 25 years in business. And that is something we understand because we're going to do the exact same thing in 2026, and they're going to do it with a little deal for you. And that's $89 for the month. That's easy. Not just this month. Any month you want to get in. The month that you do is 89 bucks. So let's say you get it now and you give it as a gift certificate. That person can use it whenever they want. How about that? You go in there and you buy for yourself. You go, I can't start till February. You're in. It's okay. You don't have to jump right in today. I suggest you do though, and hop in on this thing. 89 bucks for a month of training there is absolutely unbelievable. And you can defend yourself from all sorts of crazy stuff like me getting roofied last night. Somebody put something in my drink. Now, Jay Ackerman up there has always said I always tell women, never ever leave your drink unattended and never accept a drink from someone you don't know unless they're like a server or something. Even then, it's kind of risky. Now they keep. They get your brain thinking different ways. And evidently I left my drink alone last night and I paid for it because something was in there. I convinced of it. I feel too normal now compared to how I felt last night. If I felt like that, the way I felt before bed and I woke up feeling okay, there should be something attached to this. Should have listened to Jay. That's what I'll do. You should too. 89 bucks for the month. That's nothing. Reactdefense.com the great presentation. The home of tactical Black Brady Entertainment.

[Unnamed Co-host]

HBO just started streaming Mad Men and 4K. You've jumped in on it?

[Brett]

Love it.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Apparently they used some wrong files that they sent over to hbo.

There are many files that didn't include post production work, so there's some interesting flubs. For example, in season one, the episode called Red in the Face, that's where Roger Sterling vomits in front of a group of prospective clients.

[Brett]

It's a great one.

[Unnamed Co-host]

You can see two crew members at the edge of the shot managing the puke machine.

[Brett]

Oh, really? Yeah, Now I want to watch it on HBO. I'm watching on AMC Store.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Oh, okay. Yeah. So on HBO and 4K.

[Brett]

Okay. I don't care about 4K. Does anyone go, well, I'm not watching that. It's not 4K. I don't know. All right. Just because it's 4K.

[Brady]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brett]

It's easier to stare at for it, I guess.

[Unnamed Co-host]

You may as well watch it.

[Brett]

Christina Hendrick's face, man, oh, man, she's perfect in that.

[Unnamed Co-host]

You'll like this. Leslie Odom Jr. Is going to adapt. Adapt the Rolling Stone article about Sammy Davis Jr's ties with the Church of Satan.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah.

[Unnamed Co-host]

He's taking that article and turning it into a horror movie.

[Brett]

Oh, cool. Eddie Murphy talked about that quite a bit. Sammy being a Satanist.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Yeah, I'd like to see the Roll Out a documentary on that stuff and.

[Brett]

See how deep it got. Yeah, like, did he try to summon him? I mean, if Ozzy was the Prince of Darkness, wouldn't it be odd if Sammy was like his right hand man? That was. Me and Sammy Davis are gonna go out and try to summon the beasts of hell. That's right, man. We're out tonight. Me and the ass man. Those are Sammy's. The Candyman. No, no, no, no. I missed a Tinker Train.

[Unnamed Co-host]

The Stranger Things finale. Netflix just revealed the 500 movie theaters that'll be shown on December 31st. They put the list out. There's like 10 or 11 cinemas here in town that'll be showing it. It's two hours and five minutes long.

[Brady]

No, I won't be there.

[Unnamed Co-host]

David Letterman just listed the new guests that he'll be interviewing on his new season. The three episodes include Michael B. Jordan, Mr. Beast, Jason Bateman.

Good list.

[Brett]

I love Letterman. Loved Letterman. He was never a good interviewer. And this show, my next guest. Yeah, I don't think is. I don't think he does a very good job. He had Kevin Durant on there and it bored me to tears. Dave's interview style is strange. It's not.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Watched a couple of them when it first came out and then like, I've just never really gone back.

[Brett]

The one with Stern was good. The one with Tina Fey was good.

[Brady]

Just because Stern was.

[Brett]

Stern was over it and he took over. Tina Fey kind of did the same thing. Yeah, it's. He's not a solid interviewer. Stern's a much better.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Oh, yeah, Like, Quentin Tarantino gave the list of his top 20 movies of the 21st century.

[Brett]

I read this. Okay.

[Brady]

Larry Mack.

[Larry Mack]

Okay. Yeah, no, he's the same. That guy. Okay. Paul Dano's a miserable actor.

[Brett]

I'm kind of getting him confused with Stern right now. Very late in the day.

[Unnamed Co-host]

We'll give the top five.

[Larry Mack]

Okay.

[Unnamed Co-host]

There Will Be Blood, 2007.

[Brett]

Great movie. And that's the one. He said, Paul Dano is a crap actor. It would be number one if they had a better guy than Paul dan.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Dunkirk, number four.

[Brett]

Really good movie.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Lost in Translation, number three.

[Brett]

That's his third favorite movie ever.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Yeah. The Bill Murray 21st Century.

[Brett]

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Toy Story 3, 2010 is number two.

[Brett]

It's brilliant.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Number one for Quentin. Blackhawk Down, 2001. Kidding. I like that one.

[Brady]

It is, but it surprised me.

[Brett]

That would be his first. You know, that list is all strange.

[Brady]

Yeah, well, so is he.

[Brett]

He's a weird.

[Larry Mack]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Unnamed Co-host]

He had Shaun of the Dead in the top 10.

[Brett]

It's a great movie.

[Brady]

Did he put any his in there?

[Unnamed Co-host]

No.

[Brett]

Was he allowed? He would have put them 1, 2, 3. Yeah, well, I mean, he would say that out loud.

[Brady]

I mean, once upon a Time in Hollywood should have been right up there and.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Okay.

[Larry Mack]

Making the Mayo movie.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Jackass movie.

[Brett]

Yeah. Jackass the movie is one of the funniest movies. School of ROC, number 14, Team America, Jackass the Movie are the two movies I've laughed harder at than anything in my life in a theater.

[Unnamed Co-host]

But Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is that good.

[Brady]

I loved it.

[Brett]

Me too. It took one time to love it and two times to, like, put it in the pantheon. It's in the top five.

[Unnamed Co-host]

He's a big fan of the Devil's Reject.

[Brady]

That's actually a good movie. Out of Rob Zombie movies, that's probably his.

[Unnamed Co-host]

The only one.

[Brett]

Yeah, yeah. The other ones are terrible.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Okay.

[Larry Mack]

I'm gonna be doing that all day.

[Brett]

Okay.

[Larry Mack]

Okay. Okay.

[Brett]

We used to have a guy here.

[Larry Mack]

Okay. No, what?

[Brett]

Okay, we had a guy here that named Larry Mack, who's down in Tucson still.

[Brady]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brett]

And he used to always say, okay, okay, okay, okay. And it's very Quentin Tarantino. And now when I. When I see.

When I see any Quentin interviews, I just see Larry.

[Larry Mack]

Okay, okay, okay. No, listen, listen.

[Brett]

Seriously.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Okay.

[Brady]

I'm gonna be driving to finish your tools. Doing that.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Okay.

[Brady]

I gotta take a break.

[Larry Mack]

No, give it a break. Okay. I'm gonna take a break. Did you go back? Okay, okay, okay.

[Unnamed Co-host]

I did Mornings a Week with I know.

[Brett]

After 9 11. He was Larry Mack's sidekick.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Do we have Cape of That.

[Brett]

What the hell are you saying?

[Larry Mack]

What are you talking about?

[Unnamed Co-host]

Okay. How have I not known that this.

[Brett]

Where is John? Why is he not back yet?

[Larry Mack]

Okay, 9 11's bad, Brady. Okay, 911 is really bad, Brady. Probably gonna make movies about it.

[Brady]

Was Larry B.

[Unnamed Co-host]

That time too? Oh, yeah.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah.

[Larry Mack]

Okay, let's fill.

[Brett]

Okay.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Okay.

[Brett]

Here's a local band. I know.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Okay.

[Brett]

Okay. Yeah, I left for a week and a half, maybe longer.

[Unnamed Co-host]

He did some amazing impressions.

[Brett]

I bet he did.

[Larry Mack]

He's the Quentin Tarantino.

[Brady]

Okay, okay.

[Larry Mack]

When you movie Jackie Brown, is that okay?

[Unnamed Co-host]

Okay.

[Brett]

Yeah. But Brady and him had to do the show together while I was off in New York pulling bodies out of the house.

[Unnamed Co-host]

JJ in the air chair.

[Brett]

Did he sit in there too? Oh, geez Louise. I'm so sorry 911 was hard on you.

[Brady]

What are you guys doing?

[Brett]

I don't think it's a good idea.

[Brady]

To have go into Brady's forgotten.

[Brett]

Oh, never forget. No kidding. I'd erased my memory too. I'm going deaf as fast as possible.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Okay.

[Larry Mack]

Bye, Brady. I miss you, baby.

[Unnamed Co-host]

Okay, I don't know about this radio thing.
