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 all online. It's really that simple.
Brett Vesely
There you have it. MMP Guns or Legal Gun. The safe and legal way to sell your firearms.

It's the best of Homburg's morning sickness. I'm 98 KUPD. It is time for Brady to give you all the entertaining news he knows. We call this the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by reactdefense.com that's the home of tactical black self defense training. And get in on that thing like I've been doing for the last, if you can believe it. Seven going on eight years. Although I've been lacking the last month because of my stupid schedule, I got to get back in there, start working. I love it and I miss it. And you get in there and you do all the cardio and all the work. You have fun with a lot of fun people who are there to help you. We're actually all training each other in the classes to be the same because the more of us out there means the less chances the wolves have of attacking the flock. That's a weird way to put it, but it's true. Bunch of sheep walking around, they're staring at their phones all the time. Bad guys look at that, they see it and they attack. You don't want to always walk around feeling threatened. But when you're kind of trained a little bit, you feel a whole lot less threatened because you got something in your pocket that makes you feel a little bit stronger, a little bit more confident. And bad guys hate confidence. Boy, do they ever get better at being you. For $89 for a month of training. That is amazing. And it's the best in the world, that's for sure. Celebrating 25 beautiful years. Reactdefense.com the home of tactical Black Brady. Entertain me.
Entertainment Co-host
Well, on Friday, before we signed off, we found out that David Soul from Starsky and Hutch passed away.
John Holberg
Very dead.
Entertainment Co-host
But not too much longer after that, another celebrity dropped. Who? Actress Cindy Morgan. Oh, Lacey Underall.
John Holberg
This is a big one.
Entertainment Co-host
Caddyshack. She was 69. All right.
John Holberg
Do you remember Lacey Underall from Caddyshack? You don't? No, no.
Entertainment Co-host
By name. I don't know.
John Holberg
Patty Shack. I know Caddyshack, but she's the blonde Lacey Underall. Oh. Oh, okay. You don't know.
Brett Vesely
Hang on. Remember the movie?
John Holberg
Do you remember Tron, the movie? Lacey Underall?
Brett Vesely
Just.
John Holberg
Oh, yeah, yeah. She was the one that wanted to smoke weed with Spalding and how. What was his weed? Bread.
Brett Vesely
Because some Negroes gave it.
John Holberg
That's exactly right. That's why he liked it. Good stuff. I got it from a Negro. That was the seventies. It was great. Lacey Underall showed her boobs in that, and I watched. Great. They were fantastic. 70s boobs. Beautiful lady. Was she naked with Chevy Chase in that when he was pouring oil with Danny. Danny. That's right. That's right.
Entertainment Co-host
I thought she might have went into the pool. Into Chevy's pool.
Brett Vesely
She did, but you didn't really get to see much.
Entertainment Co-host
It was just a quick.
John Holberg
When she's in the golf shirt. Ah, Caddyshack. Lacy Underall is gone. So long. Lacy. Is that her? In later years, I didn't know she.
Entertainment Co-host
Was in Falcon Crest, too.
John Holberg
Oh, Danny. Doesn't work out for any of them, does it? The horrors of aging. Wow, look at that. I'm sorry.
Entertainment Co-host
Sylvester Stallone addressed the question, who would win in a fight, Rocky or Rambo? And he did his response on Instagram.
John Holberg
I know the answer to this. Rambo.
Entertainment Co-host
He went back and forth.
John Holberg
Rambo wins this hands down. He's not what he said.
Brett Vesely
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah.
John Holberg
In a boxing ring, Rambo sanctioned, killed.
Entertainment Co-host
But if those just fought, if Rocky could land five shots and get it done, that's the only chance he has. Because once it goes to the ground, and once you take out the boxing and it goes to the street, sure, there's no way self defense training.
Brett Vesely
He kicked the hell out of Tommy Gunn. So yeah, on the street, in the.
John Holberg
Street, in the boxing. And the worst Rocky ever. Without question, terrible Rocky. But Rambo would destroy him for Rocky's.
Entertainment Co-host
Eyes and gouges them out.
John Holberg
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's. Look, you put him in a ring with rules and Rambo's gonna get killed. The two just fight in a bar. Rambo's gonna have his ass. Rambo took out full army.
Entertainment Co-host
Oh, yeah.
John Holberg
One on one with Rocky the heavyweight champ. Come on. Floyd Mayweather went to jail and got scared.
Entertainment Co-host
It surprised me how much Rocky or how much Sylvester Sloan said Rocky has a chance.
John Holberg
Well, it's like having his kids fight. You can't. Rambo would slaughter Rocky in a fight.
Entertainment Co-host
It looks like Beetlejuice 2 is happening. Brad Pitt's company, Plan B is now involved. And is Alex Baldwin gonna be in it, filming early this summer.
Brett Vesely
Somebody should have took the plan B pill before green lighting that.
John Holberg
I know exactly how to get rid of Beetlejuice. Give me the gun.
Entertainment Co-host
So far, Keaton's in, Baldwin's in. Say Baldwin Ryder is in. Tim Burton is back directing. Nothing about Baldwin.
John Holberg
Come on. Baldwin and Gina Davis have to be in. I know they kind of died in the first one, but they can come back.
Entertainment Co-host
They said they're gunning to get Alec back in the.
John Holberg
I'll.
Entertainment Co-host
I'll.
John Holberg
I'll do Beetlejuice too, but I have to shake the rust off.
Entertainment Co-host
Nice.
John Holberg
Thank you.
Entertainment Co-host
Thank you.
John Holberg
Proud of that.
Entertainment Co-host
Albums that turned 40 this year.
John Holberg
Oh, this hurts.
Entertainment Co-host
1984, Van Halen. That's right. Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi.
John Holberg
Wow.
Brett Vesely
That's runaway, right?
John Holberg
Yeah, that's the first one. Yeah, yeah.
Entertainment Co-host
Heartbeat City, the Cars. Born in the U.S.A. bruce Springsteen, Ride the Lightning. Metallica.
John Holberg
Another one turning 40 on the couch. Jen Gardner expires this year. When's your birthday? January. What? Oh, it's like two weeks, you're done. Then you start going lacy underall. For later years, let's go on a Tahoe to ski. You hit an age this year that unfortunately for women, and I don't think this is fair, people start saying this to you, and I've noticed this, you look great for your age. They add in your age at the end. They don't say, you look brave, you look beautiful. Yeah. I can't believe you're still wearing. That is a thing people will say that is daring. Yeah. 40 is a tough one for Purple Rain, Prince. That's 40.
Entertainment Co-host
Yeah.
John Holberg
Oh, man.
Entertainment Co-host
The Unforgettable Fire. You too. And your guy, Reckless Brian Adams.
John Holberg
And then you think again, like I do this time. Meld thing in my head all the time. Forty years ago, those albums came out in 1984. If we did this list, it was 1944. Glenn Miller's greatest spots. Go get them over there.
Entertainment Co-host
Maybe a Rolling Stones album.
John Holberg
Yeah, they might have been around still, but. Yeah, how about that 44.
Entertainment Co-host
So imagine this back when David Lee Roth.
John Holberg
She's an actress.
Entertainment Co-host
When David Lee Roth left Van Halen, yeah, a lot of people were hot. Not real happy that Sammy Hagar was the replacement. Right.
Brett Vesely
I was one.
John Holberg
I was, too.
Entertainment Co-host
Yep. But when that happened, Eddie and Valerie Bertinelli went to a Hall and Oates show. And they went backstage after the show and asked Eddie asked Daryl Hall.
John Holberg
Darrell hall to do it.
Entertainment Co-host
You want to join Van Halen? And he's like, yes. At first I was like, what? And then he was asking, and I thought he was half joking, but I think you're serious. And I really do believe he was serious.
John Holberg
The guy. Can I sing anything?
Entertainment Co-host
Seriously?
John Holberg
Yeah. Mary Effing Holidays from the Big Red radio. Hey, it's John Holberg from the Morning Sickness. When my beloved dog Dutchy started to slow down, I knew in my heart the time was going to come. That's when I reached out to Happy Endings in Home pet euthanasia. Once Dr. Fixler got to my house, he explained every step, answered all the questions, and created a peaceful, loving atmosphere right there. We were able to hold Dutchy on her favorite blanket. Happy Endings made it as peaceful and dignified as the moment could be. If your furry companion is getting close to that time, whether it's a dog or a cat, and you want the comfort of home, the compassion of professionals, and the dignity your pet deserves, call Happy Endings. Visit online Happy Endings euthanasia.com because every pet's life should have a happy ending. Hol's morning sickness.
Entertainment Co-host
But I went, I think I've got my own stuff going on. It just.
Brett Vesely
He made the smart move.
John Holberg
Yeah, but, yeah, that's.
Entertainment Co-host
They would have the same reaction as Sammy Hay 100. Probably worse.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
John Holberg
But now I have to hear Daryl hall sing. Even love walks in and think it would have changed Van Halen to be like, all right, Daryl Hall's our new lead singer. Some of these love songs make sense now.
Entertainment Co-host
Why wouldn't they have Eddie and Daryl's house back in the day?
Brett Vesely
Oh, that would have been great.
Entertainment Co-host
That then they could have done a couple.
John Holberg
I want to hear Daryl hall sing a couple Van Halen songs because he can sing anything.
Brett Vesely
Is Daryl's house still on?
John Holberg
I don't know.
Entertainment Co-host
I don't think so.
John Holberg
I haven't watched forever. I don't think so either. But it's worth revisiting. A few of them are just. It's mind blowingly excellent musicianship.
Entertainment Co-host
I played this for you this morning. The oldest recorded country song was originally 1927. They found a new one that dates back to 1891. Guy named Lewis Vasnier in New Orleans. Song's called Thompson's Old Gray Mule.
John Holberg
Is it terrible?
Entertainment Co-host
The recording's pretty bad. But you can figure out this song. Let's hear.
John Holberg
Oh no. This is a. More emo. This is a. This is the original country music. Still. The more to me it's still that guy. Now what did you have it? Toledo. The original. The very first country song ever recorded. That sounds like every song recorded in the teens and twenties.
Brett Vesely
Like it better cuz I can't understand it.
Entertainment Co-host
1891.
John Holberg
I don't believe that.
Byron from MMP Guns
That's enough.
John Holberg
Oh, gee, sorry. First recording ever. That's what they all sound like. Now here's a little number I recorded yesterday. It's a country song. I call it country because it's from the country. Here we go. There you go. Enjoy. I don't understand that. Why are we even listening to that stuff and then trying to say. And it's because they're trying to make it racial.
Entertainment Co-host
Yeah. Because the guy in 1927.
John Holberg
Yeah, the black guy.
Entertainment Co-host
Yeah.
John Holberg
So they're saying he invented country music, but we're only getting it off that.
Entertainment Co-host
Jimmy Rogers and the Carter Family.
John Holberg
Maybe he did, but every song back then sounded just like that. You can't say it invented anything. And I don't want to blame black people for country music. It's the worst invention ever.
Entertainment Co-host
Someone put up the. The money that the staff, the cast for the wizard of Oz made. The original wizard of Oz, Judy Garland.
John Holberg
What they made initially, yeah. $12,000.
Entertainment Co-host
She made 9,600, which would be about 218,000 today.
John Holberg
Still nothing. That's a Kenny Dillingham.
Brett Vesely
They get any residuals on that?
John Holberg
That's what I want to know. Did they get paid for the years and years and years that it got?
Entertainment Co-host
Was she doing wizard con in the 50s? Yeah. I'm not sure if they had.
John Holberg
No. Unless those were in the deep bars.
Entertainment Co-host
Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the west, made 21,000, which would be 476,000 today.
John Holberg
And she just kept showing up in the makeup.
Entertainment Co-host
She was a Broadway star. And she also suffered burns from filming a scene with fire. The studio kept her on for six more weeks.
John Holberg
Wow. I remember in the 70s when she'd show up and stuff. Like do coffee. Remember the Mr. Coffee commercial? Or the Folgers. She was. She was a Folgers commercial. Yeah. The wicked witch without her makeup. When you're a kid and the only thing you know her from is that. And then she shows up and you recognize her immediately as a lady that steals dogs. How about a little coffee?
Brett Vesely
There's that.
John Holberg
Folger. I start my day with it.
Entertainment Co-host
The scarecrow made 72 grand. Around 1.6ft degree in today's money.
John Holberg
That's huge.
Entertainment Co-host
He was already a star on Broadway. Yeah.
Brett Vesely
See? He made more than Judy Garland.
John Holberg
Judy Garland was 19. Nobody knew who she was.
Entertainment Co-host
Jack Haley.
John Holberg
She was actually 17 I think when they filmed her. Totally illegal. There's. There's Margaret Hamilton and the Folgers.

Maxwell House Coffee Voice

Maxwell House Coffee Voice
Like they say. Good to the last drop.
John Holberg

Entertainment Co-host
Was that a photo of Teddy Roosevelt too?
John Holberg
Because that was what she remembered as the good old days.
Entertainment Co-host
He was a rough rider.
John Holberg
That's when this country mattered. Back before you people could come in and sully my store asking for coffee.
Entertainment Co-host
You think?
John Holberg
Crazy green bitch. That's right.
Entertainment Co-host
A lot Going on in that photo. That is Teddy.
John Holberg
That's Teddy Roosevelt. She has a longing, loving photo of President Teddy Roosevelt on her wall. Nobody does that. This was when this country mattered and the right people weren't allowed to be in public like you two. Some coffee? Don't take any coffee from that crazy green. She gonna poison us.
Entertainment Co-host
The best was the second follow up commercial. They splashed water on it, melting.
John Holberg
Daddy wouldn't have seen to this. There she is again. Simple adjustment, Cara. That clock's as old as day. It is that David?
Brett Vesely
Yes.
