Brady
For the amazing people at the Core Institute, life can throw you a curveball now and again. One day you're trucking along, feeling great. Next day your dog smashes into your head and knocks you cold. Or like a KUPD listener told me this week, his dog did a sprint across the backyard directly into the side of his wife's leg and blew her knee up. She needed that need to get fixed and fixed right. Two years later, she's running like she used to again. And it's all thanks to the Core Institute. I went through it too. And you can get rid of your pain and start saying yes, I can to all the things you want to do.
Carmen
And.
Brady
And all you have to do is trust the experts at the Core Institute. Head there right now. The Core institute dot com.
Toledo
Grab some protection. Here comes the best of Homburg's morning sickness. I'm 98k upd time now. Preempted by the Bachelor talk by that crazy biatch on the Bachelor last night. If you watched it, it was as good as Margaret Perrin, only not quite as good. Margaret Perrin, of course, from me, I meet my. Or what was it? Trading spouses. Remember the crazy?
Carmen
Yeah, I rebuke it in the name.
Toledo
Of the Lord lady. Now she's reality, the reality network with Kennedy. Remember Kennedy from mtv?
Brett
Oh, she got her own show off.
Toledo
She does stuff Kennedy's I I've always had this odd fascination with mounting Kennedy, but I think it's just a shutter.
Brett
Up or it's a glasses. Maybe you have a glass.
Toledo
It might be the glasses thing.
Carmen
Her name helped her too.
Toledo
Kennedy was kind of. But she's annoying and I think it was just to shut Kennedy up. But yeah, she was on there with Kennedy Kennedy as a guest. And I'm like, maybe that wasn't real, but she was pretty good. If that was acting, it was pretty impressive. 7:26 in the morning sickness and time now for Brady to late. Better late than never. Give us the news that nobody else had the courage to give us. We call it the Brady Report.
Carmen
Brady reported the Consumer Federation of America just finished a survey where they ask Americans what's the most practical way to accumulate several hundred thousand dollars.
Toledo
Steal it.
Carmen
21%. I'm gonna say a whopping 21 said winning the lottery.
Toledo
That's our ambition as a nation.
Carmen
It gets worse. 3% of the most practical way to get several hundred grand is to get an insurance settlement.
Toledo
Oh. Lawsuits.
Carmen
I figured that's probably about right. 3%. On the positive side 55% had the right answer and said saving money and making wise investments. So about half.
Brett
That's probably a better bet.
Toledo
But if they're asking what's the fastest way to get a hundred thousand dollars.
Carmen
Or more Poor people most likely say winning the lottery is the most practical way to get rich. 38% of people who make under 25 grand choose the lottery option compared to 9% of the people making over 75. Lottery.
Toledo
The lottery is for you like a poor people.0002.
Brett
Yeah. Chance to win.
Toledo
It's the hillbilly pension plan tax on the poor.
Carmen
Except it's tax people choose to pay.
Toledo
Yeah.
Carmen
Personally I prefer putting my money in something more secure like betting on cock fights.
Toledo
Is that right? How you doing with that?
Carmen
Not good.
Toledo
No.
Carmen
I would like to never have yet.
Toledo
But before I die I will own and fight a you personally. I will be a owner.
Carmen
You gotta write that. These are things.
Toledo
I know. I know because I've only got like 30 years to go.
Carmen
I gotta keep the wood chipper. I need to get that written down because I don't want to put one step ahead of the other. You know? I don't want to. I put the wood chipper in. I put you in the wood chipper. After you're dead.
Toledo
After you put my corpse in the wood chipper and scatter my parts. Not my ashes. I don't want to be burned.
Carmen
Now where would you like to be.
Toledo
Scattered during a game?
Carmen
That's right.
Toledo
Preferably when the Phillies or Giants are on the field.
Brett
I miss Ogayo Guapo.
Toledo
I do too. I saw a rooster walking around down the street here in Guatemala. It's him. We had this knowing glance. Yeah. He looked at me and I looked at him. And then these little hearts bubbled out over his head. But there's a. There's a rooster down the way with no feathers.
Brett
I've seen that one.
Toledo
Yeah.
Brett
I was wondering if that was him.
Toledo
That'S what I thought. Somebody plucked him. And as if to disguise a Brazilian rooster, he's been shaved. He had a little strip on his back though the landing strippers. Ladies must love that he's been waxed.
Carmen
As men, we know there are many things that women can fake without men even finding out.
Toledo
Don't care.
Carmen
But sometimes men are so stupid, they won't be able to tell the difference between a home cooked meal and a takeout meal. According again, this is the UK. A survey of Britain's Department of Health finds that 40% of women have lied and said they cooked a meal that was really takeout or prepackaged. I've done that just to impress a guy. Only about half as many guys have done it. 22% have done the same thing.
Toledo
I've done that.
Carmen
But I don't really. I mean.
Brett
Cause we would just say we've done it. Yeah, I got to me.
Toledo
No, no, I've done the takeout and put it on plates and made it look good.
Brett
Well, yeah, what you do, you say. And then after the meal's done, you go, nah.
Toledo
But you know what else I did to go even further? I rubbed it around in my pots and put the pot.
Brett
That's ridiculous.
Toledo
That's brilliant.
Brett
You told her at the end.
Toledo
No, I did not. I'm telling her right now.
Brett
That's just too funny.
Toledo
And then I put the pots in the sink.
Brett
What happened recently?
Toledo
Well, last year.
Brett
What made you do something like this?
Toledo
I wanted some poo nanny.
Carmen
According to Ronnie, on the first go around, I came out with a. It was basically oven brick for shadow. And I guess I said, oh, yeah, made this.
Toledo
I remember you saying it on the air and we made fun of you.
Carmen
Yeah.
Toledo
That you went, would you forget about it?
Carmen
No.
Toledo
According to Ronnie, he knew and he was trying to pull it off on the air the next day because he knew she was listening. Yeah, I made a pizza for you.
Carmen
Made it?
Toledo
Yep.
Carmen
Queer.
Toledo
No, cooking is good. He just pulled it out of a box and stuffed it in his oven.
Carmen
To me, if it's good, it's homemade. That's careless.
Toledo
If it's homemade, it doesn't bother me.
Carmen
There is a difference on certain. On a lot of food. That boy, if you're getting homemade like.
Toledo
But I don't care.
Brett
You took it out of the box, you put it in the oven.
Toledo
I eat Costco pizza, but I'll eat anything.
Carmen
Trying to pull the wall over her eyes here, but she says, oh, yeah, you told me.
Toledo
I remember that.
Brett
So you're in trouble now. You're not getting any wound for a while.
Carmen
There's a magic. A magic aphrodisiac out there that we make women randy all the time.
Toledo
Called money.
Carmen
Close.
Toledo
What is it?
Carmen
Scientists at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas have found that pumping female rats full of money caffeine.
Toledo
Oh, really?
Carmen
Makes them desire much more mounting.
Toledo
Huh.
Carmen
There's only one problem. It really only works on rats that have never tasted caffeine before.
Toledo
Oh.
Brett
I could see that.
Carmen
The professor led the study says in humans caffeine might enhance the sexual experience. Only among people who are not habitual users of caffeine. Well, find that.
Toledo
Yeah.
Carmen
Needle in the haystack.
Toledo
No kidding.
Carmen
Now they got it. You know, if you can't get the caffeine, you don't like coffee and everything else. Yeah, I think they should. They might as well put caffeine and butter and everything else.
Toledo
I mean juicy up during your muffin.
Carmen
New egg beaters with caffeine.
Toledo
That's not a bad idea. Just load everything up with it. I thought I'd cut it out.
Carmen
Does it have a taste?
Toledo
I thought I'd cut it out completely. And it turns out that I've been guzzling more of it than I did when I was drinking a lot of pot. Where is it? Tea. And it's like double in the tea. It's like just as much in that. I knew there was a little, but I didn't know it was more.
Carmen
I don't know if you heard about this one, but I heard a little bit about yesterday. Applebee's restaurant. You know, they're. There's a lady that brought her five year old son in there. Her name's Cynthia Perales. And she took her 5 year old son Seth to dinner at Applebee's. He ordered himself an apple juice. Somehow the waitress bought him a Long island iced tea instead. It's sweet. So Seth drank it up, guzzled it. Cynthia didn't realize the five year old what he had basically equivalent of nine shots of alcohol. Maybe not many. Well, until his eyes glazed over and he started laughing uncontrollably. Cynthia, of course the waitress admitted the mistake and apologized. Wasn't good enough. Lady is quoting saying the trauma that it caused her son and asking him to quiet down and sit down.
Brett
What do you mean? He was happy?
Carmen
25 grand. She saw what Applebee for 75 grand. You know what it's not. I know the waitress is a employee of Applebee's, but it's not like she intended to do this.
Toledo
Somebody intended to do it. Brady, Long Island Iced Teas. Coming.
Carmen
But let me ask you this. If your son orders an apple juice or daughter, couldn't you tell?
Toledo
Yeah.
Carmen
All the fruit in it and the umbrella. Yeah.
Toledo
And the curly straw.
Brett
That does not look like apple juice. And it's on ice and it's in.
Toledo
One of those wavy Mai Tai glasses. Yeah, that's true, but I. That's an.
Carmen
You can put apple juice on ice, I'll give you that.
Toledo
Usually it's a little baby glass and.
Carmen
Maybe if it's unfiltered apple juice, some places serve that.
Toledo
It's a little thin.
Carmen
It's cloudier. It's thicker. Cloudier.
Toledo
I guess.
Carmen
But don't you think. I don't know. I take a sip of Long Island Iced Tea.
Toledo
Well, you wouldn't know it was Long Island Iced Tea. No, it depends on who the alcohol. You make a good Long Island Iced Tea. It just depends.
Brett
Yeah, you don't even. That's a good thing about Long Island Iced Tea.
Toledo
A good Long Island Iced Tea tastes like tea to you though.
Brett
Drinks once a decade.
Carmen
Well, that's what I'm saying. So my friend Seth must be pounding down the hooch then.
Brett
He knows all about the liquor.
Toledo
But if you make a good Long Island Iced Tea, you can't taste a single drop of alcohol, even if you're. Even if you're novice.
Brett
That's the drink. If you want to get a girl bar.
Toledo
Strawberry daiquiri. Little hint for all you 21 year olds out there. Those are the two. 75 grand for one Long Island. I could see if he ordered another one in apple juice and she brought him another. Then. Then it's just trouble, but one accident.
Carmen
And it's kind of funny in a way. Hopefully the kid, you know, come up with that number. Lawyer.
Brett
That's pain and suffering right there, John.
Carmen
You know, and I hope she's not dancing around her kid like you just drank a poison. Oh, my God, Seth, you're gonna be a wreck for a couple of years.
Brett
Maybe if he got like violently ill. Maybe.
Toledo
Your dad said maybe the kid's dad's an alcoholic. Sorry, go ahead.
Carmen
There's something good that happened at the Bengal Steelers game.
Toledo
Yeah, I know. 3117. There you go. Okay, thank you.
Carmen
Something good for a couple of Bengals fans.
Toledo
Chad Johnson was beaten to death.
Carmen
Sandy Emu and Jim reed. Back in 1991. They were dating and their first date. When the things got more serious. They decided they'd get married the next time. The Bengals made the Playoffs.
Toledo
Fifteen years. Fifteen years later, I think best bet he ever made.
Carmen
They tied the knot at the game, stupid. Congratulations. Cindy and Jim.
Brett
Now they should get divorced the next time they make the play.
Toledo
Yeah.
Carmen
Do you think that's a bad omen? You know, you get married on a.
Toledo
Loss, get married at a Bengals game. It's a bad omen to just show up at the Bengals stadium.
Brett
How trashy is that?
Toledo
Do you think they wore the tiger stripes?
Brett
Yeah, she had the dress.
Toledo
Who they say you're gonna marry? This guy.
Carmen
In Snow Hill, Maryland, 34 year old. 34 year old Eric Cowboy Littleton. Wacky DJ WZBH 93.5 FM, was having a promotional event at a restaurant where listeners could win the coveted ZZ Top tickets for performing crazy stunts. 27 year old Robert west, loyal listener, decided to take the challenge. He told Eric. Eric actually told him to expose himself to a woman at a restaurant and if he did that, he'd get the tickets. So Robert. Yeah, Eric.
Brett
I was like, I don't remember that.
Toledo
I didn't do this.
Carmen
Let's just call him Cowboy.
Brett
Sounds like something.
Carmen
Cowboy Littleton told the listener, Robert west to go expose himself to that lady. And he'll get tickets if he does. So Robert walked up to the woman, whose name has not been released, whipped out his testes, placed them on her arm. She freaked out, called the police.
Toledo
Was she part of the game?
Carmen
No.
Toledo
Oh.
Carmen
Arrested Robert for indecent exposure, second degree assault and fourth degree sexual assault. And because that Eric had put him up to it, he was arrested and charged with the same crimes.
Brett
See, we gotta stop these stunts.
Toledo
Gotta stop these teabaggings.
Brett
I did that. Don't you remember the.
Carmen
But Eric, you do it without people asking you, and that's.
Toledo
You're gonna. You did what? When did you teabag somebody?
Carmen
No.
Brett
And Freddy tagged that guy the closest.
Carmen
Thing that you were.
Brett
You don't remember that?
Toledo
No.
Carmen
For tickets that was on the bus.
Brett
No, it was on the air.
Carmen
No.
Brett
Yes, it was.
Toledo
Eric. No.
Brett
Oh, no, it wasn't. I don't remember this.
Toledo
That never happened. Yeah. These are not the teabaggings you're talking. No.
Carmen
The only thing I was gonna say.
Toledo
Give me the Jedi teabag trick was a spring training.
Brett
I don't know what. You talk.
Carmen
You payday. Stun him if he'd streak.
Toledo
Yeah.
Carmen
Spring train.
Toledo
You're crazy. You had a bad dream. These are not the tea bags. You wish to shut up.
Brett
We only had tea at the van. It was good.
Toledo
Yes, we have dipped tea bags in Delicious hot water. Don Holmberg's morning sickness.

Wayne
Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with Wayne from Amco and Wayne. Now that it's getting warmer, I turned on the AC in my car and the air is blowing kind of cool. But it really smells like a basement. What can I do about that, Larry?
Toledo
Your car's AC system should be checked and serviced. Plus replacing the cabin air filter helps the air blow strong and takes away any nasty smell. Nice.
Wayne
Is that a big deal to get done?
Toledo
Not at all. It takes about an hour and in most cases we can do it while you wait.
Carmen
That's awesome.
Toledo
I'll say. We're amco.
Wayne
Google AMCO for your nearest location. That's Amco double A MCO transmissions and a whole lot more.
Toledo
Holmberg's morning sickness.
Carmen
Back in August, Marilyn Christian of Leesburg, Virginia founder cat Cody was murdered. She suspected her neighbor's dog, Lucky. For some reason, the police decided that her case hasn't, you know, wasn't a priority. So Marilyn took it into her own hands. She took DNA from Lucky and Cody. Then paid a lab in California to test it. Sure enough, the lab found that Lucky did kill Cody. So Marilyn took the results to the county. They ordered Lucky's owners, Sean and Janet derabaggy to the a $50,000 in liability insurance for the dog.
Toledo
Wow.
Carmen
To keep him locked up, to keep him muzzled on walks. About 10 days later, Lucky was running free outside. Someone called the police. And now no, they paid 116 fine.
Toledo
That's not so bad.
Carmen
They have to get a fifty thousand dollar liability insurance. I'm Lucky.
Toledo
It cost you ten bucks.
Carmen
Not too much. Yeah. And Fort Sumner, New Mexico. This could be Carmen away. You told me about this a little bit yesterday.
Toledo
Is this the old man?
Carmen
81 year old man. Luciano Morris. He tried to kill a mouse he found prowling through his house. There's a mouse in the house? Cleveland state. He trapped the little guy and Raked a pile of leaves together in the front of his house. He set the pile on fire, threw the mouse into the burning pile to kill him.
Toledo
Go, mouse.
Carmen
But the mouse wasn't gonna go. Like a punk fireball, little Al Qaeda mouse. Fire. Ran out of the leaf pile, ran into Luciano's house, burnt the entire house down.
Toledo
The house down. Good for you, mouse.
Carmen
No one was hurt, but everything inside Luciano's house was destroyed.
Brett
Why do you say good?
Toledo
Because you don't burn living objects.
Carmen
I don't know what it is with fire and 80 year old men, but you smash it. I'm gonna top it.
Brett
You smash it.
Toledo
You smash it. You don't throw anything alive in a fire.
Brett
Yeah, that's kind of cruel.
Toledo
You smash it. I'm all for the smashing of the mouse. That's fine.
Brett
The head getting smashed in a trap.
Toledo
No, no, better you just hold them by the tail and you squash him with your foot.
Carmen
The zapper.
Toledo
Or zap it or shoot it point blank with a BB gun. But you don't throw them in a fire. You don't drown it and you don't throw it in a fire.
Carmen
Here's the geriatric topper. In Downey, California, a man in his 80s once again, whose name wasn't released, got into a massive fight with his neighbors over some parking spots. Of course, the only way to settle that, the old man decided the the wisest ways to get revenge. Detonate a homemade bomb in their house.
Toledo
Oh, my God.
Carmen
Unfortunately, people are funny. One of his bombs went off, set him on fire and killed him.
Toledo
Oh.
Carmen
No one else was hurt.
Toledo
You pay.
Carmen
I don't know, there's. All right, maybe a list of things that 80 year old men should not have access to. Fire prostates.
Toledo
That's probably true. Those are 1 and 2. 1 and 1. A driving and cars. Toledo hands me this. My mother shot a mouse in our. And I'm gonna replace the word house with trailer with the 22. When I was in high school, mom sitting on the porch with a.22.
Carmen
That's a good shot.
Toledo
That is an amazing.
Carmen
It says don't come out.
Brett
Stay in the room for a second.
Toledo
She's going to fire the weapon. It's Toledo.
Brett
We just had to dump him.
Toledo
What is going on? Well, he's remembering when his mother was firing a weapon in the house in high school, so I forgot.
Carmen
She talks like a pirate.
Brett
We're gonna have to cut you, you potty mouse.
Toledo
We need some soap. We need some. We need a lot of soap.
Carmen
Did your mom say that word for word. Wow, that got your attention.
Toledo
My mom shot a mouse in our house with a.22.
Carmen
Oh, you. You said that?
Toledo
Yeah, he said it. Okay, hold on, Little dick Toledo. Don't come out your bedroom yet. Mama's got a mouse to drop in the house. In the house.
Carmen
She used to wake Toledo up in the morning. Toledo would wake up and he'd have an infrared dot on his forehead or something.
Toledo
You ready for school?
Carmen
Oh, I think so. Wakey, wakey, ate and bakey mama.
Toledo
Move the barrel. All right. There might be a mouse in here. One over the bow. Where's your little friend Brady? Gunplay Brady. Yeah, gunplay Brady and Mrs. Toledo.
Carmen
Your mama sure takes your school seriously.
Toledo
Wow. Well, anyway, glad you had that kind of life. Forest wow. Mom shooting weapons. And she got.
Carmen
But shooting a mouse, that's one or two.
Brett
Explode all over the place.
Carmen
Holy Annie Oakley.
Toledo
And then you guys had.
Brett
Did she make you clean it, Cinderella?
Toledo
Did you get your banjo and celebrate, like, right away?
Carmen
Tell the rest of the story. She had the compact mirror holding it. And she shot it back over the shoulder.
Toledo
Get mama's corn cob pipe. We got dinner on the floor.
Carmen
A couple of new drug trends we should know about. Farming. P H A R M I N G. Farming. It's in the upcoming issue of Time magazine. Two of them that they'll talk about. Farming is one of them. What is. It's when kids get together and trade prescription drugs. They trade painkillers like Oxygotin, Vicodin, anti anxiety pills, Valium, Xanax, and add the meds like Riddler along with that.
Toledo
Nice.
Carmen
And with that way, the way we're doping our kids up with every single behavior problem, it's easy for them to stay supplied.
Toledo
Everybody's got a set of pills.
Carmen
The last one is. Or the second one is dusting. Dusting is a form of huffing. Basically. Dusting is using the cams that you spray your computer keyboard down.
Toledo
The thing I always spray on people.
Carmen
Yeah.
Toledo
You can do stuff with those.
Carmen
Well, evidently, people are. There's some. There's some side effects to it.
Toledo
I'm always turning this over. What?
Carmen
Slurred speech. Permanent brain damage and death.
Toledo
The thing that. To think about, the keyboard dust can. When I turn it over and I put my name in ice on my shirt.
Carmen
Yeah.
Toledo
I'm gonna have cancer from that.
Carmen
Pretty much.
Toledo
Oh, man.
Carmen
Well, if you're huffing it.
Toledo
I'm not huffing it, but I have smelled it. I mean, I freeze everything with that. Those are fun.
Brett
While you Were looking for ways to go out.
Toledo
That's a good one. Start huffing dusters.
Carmen
It's not going to surprise us here, but according to the U. S. Center of disease control and prevention. Johnny, you could probably give the rundown of the cities or the states that lead the u. S. Toothlessness rate. West Virginia, number one, 42.9. Almost 43 massive restaurants of its residents have lost six or more teeth.
Toledo
Bronze.
Carmen
Mississippi, Kentucky is second.
Toledo
Oh, I was gonna go. Mississippi, Ohio, Kentucky, 38.
Carmen
A.R. kansas, Tennessee is third. 32.
Toledo
Wow.
Carmen
Hawaii has the lowest rate, 13%.
Toledo
Nice job, Eric.
Carmen
This is a little study that you need to. A Study of 1300 Men and Women at Duke university finds that middle aged people with hostile personalities are much more likely to die of heart disease than calmer people. And the more hostile you are, more likely you are to drop dead.
Toledo
Damn it.
Carmen
That article's bull.
Brett
Bunch of crap.
Toledo
You got to get it out the anger.
Brett
Yeah, I agree. Release it into the world.
Carmen
Finally, on July 9, Leah Rebel Robles of Whittier, California and her husband Richard went to the local Presbyterian intercommunity hospital so Leah could give birth to their second child. But even though she was past her due date, bleeding, having contractions less than two minutes apart, the hospital staff told her she wasn't ready to deliver, sent her home. Fifty minutes after she gone home, Leah had the urge to use the restroom and voila.
Toledo
Sorry.
Brett
What the hell?
Carmen
She was playing the drums in the toilet.
Toledo
She dropped. She pooped.
Carmen
A baby let go of the Cosby kid in the toilet. Amazingly, the child, Richard Robles iii, was healthy. His dad scooped him up out of the water, cleaned him, held him. Then Leah wrapped her baby and blanket until help arrived. The Robles aren't planning on suing the hospital or anything like that. They say, quote, they're slightly irked. Why did they find at least, I don't know, like a farmhouse, a manger or something. The inn was full, so she dumped him on the grotto.
Toledo
How do you.
Carmen
How do you continue? Maybe three kings will come visit, drop off presents to Richard iii.
Toledo
Wouldn't you get off the toilet?
Carmen
I have heard more stories of toilet burst. At least. At least five or six. And I know of one that I know.
Toledo
The person who dropped the baby in the can.
Carmen
Yes.
Toledo
Who? Come on. Used to be.
Carmen
Well, no, it doesn't matter. But he used to be the wrestling coach of Ohio State University. His daughter, she didn't know it.
Brett
How can you not know?
Carmen
That's my still question of the day.
Toledo
She didn't Know that she was giving birth. What did she think was happening?
Carmen
She had like, showing it either she thought she really had to go to the bathroom.
Toledo
Was that one story that lady was wearing pantyhose and all of a sudden started crying?
Carmen
Yes. Oh, something's wrong.
Toledo
And she didn't know she was pregnant. Seven months into the pregnancy, oh, something's so wrong. And then all of a sudden she's like, something's pushing on my pants. And it was a baby's head blowing out of her.
Carmen
Yeah, this is the third one we've done.
Toledo
And toilets, though. Don't you think that you would get up and this lady knew she was pregnant, thought she was having the baby.
Brett
Maybe they saw flippers coming out or something. So they're like, well, get in the tub.
Toledo
Get in the tub. The baby is not gonna fit in a toilet. Get in the tub. How big is your toilet that you can uncork a baby? I have to double flush for a good dump. If your toilet can take an infant, I want that plumber.
Carmen
Well, you know, that's how our own Fred Pantorock was born.
Toledo
He got tossed into a toilet.
Brett
He's got gills.
Toledo
I didn't know that Pandrock was tossed into a toilet. Dad, how is it? Tell me the story of by birth. Well, son, your mother had gas dumped you in the can.
Carmen
We were at e lake. It was a pit toilet.
Toledo
Daddy, tell me again.
Brett
Were there steelers there?
Carmen
Your mother just got done. Your mother just got done winning the log rolling contest and the lumberjack game.
Toledo
Why you're picking on Fred?
Brett
You just picture wiping herself off with the terrible towel.
Carmen
He was just pulling in, and I thought, oh, he's gotta have the radio on.
Toledo
You just saw a car go through the parking lot. That guy was born in a toilet. That's just. You just start your life so wrong. They always born of a crapper. Things haven't really gotten any better since. Till downhill from there. When your head goes into the. Pull him out of the hole.
Brett
Oh, he's got to wear glasses. It could have impaired his eyesight. Slamming into the toilet.
Toledo
