Brady Bogan
Good Monday morning to you, Phoenix.
Ian Schwartz
Hello world. Hi, I was just talking to Ian Schwartz and talking about coconut, how it would work. Spell coconut with your hips. And it got me thinking. That had to be how Helen Keller had sex because she had to do all that stuff with her hands. By the way, I still want to be the proponent to let everybody know Helen Keller wasn't real. It's not a real thing.
Brady Bogan
I heard some guy.
Ian Schwartz
I've had this theory for a while. It's starting to. It's not my theory. It's something I've believed for a long time. It's catching massive amounts of fire. And it makes more, it's, it makes more sense that Helen Keller isn't real than that the Bible can be argued. We've been thousands of years trying to figure out what's real and what's wrong at the Bible Helen Keller is less believable than anything in the Bible.
Brady Bogan
On the bus shuttle to the WM Open, guy's about two rows in back of me. The guy was giving him the. There's no way she wrote those books.
Ian Schwartz
She didn't write any books. She didn't write a book. Not even close. Do I believe Helen Keller existed? Yes. When she was six. They taught her. She first started in with the hand talk. She published her first book at 11. She Come on first six years banging into wall screaming for Wawa. Somebody teaches you some hand words. A couple of them. She's writing books by 11. Come on. A book not even like Wawa is good. Not that her book was like published by a college. She's like six degrees. Everything that was given was because and books. And she tra.
Brady Bogan
Stop it.
Ian Schwartz
Again. The theory just as simple as. It's as simple as an. I don't know how I got started on this. Thinking of Helen Keller grinding out coconut like. Like the way she used to spell into hands. Look blindfold Brady, right now. And I can tell him you're at the end of the page while he's typing and he'd still go past him. You can't be blind and deaf and work a typewriter. Right. Can't do it. Bull to Helen Keller all the way around. Didn't happen. And another thing, one more thing while I'm at it. Mad dog on Helen Keller. How come this system doesn't apply to anybody else? Hmm? Mm. I beg of you. Where are the blind deaf people that have the Keller system in place that kicks ass, that can teach a six year old to write a book in five years? Brady, you remember Kirby when she was six, fully sighted and could hear? No way that five years to a published book by Columbia.
Brady Bogan
There still would have been a pretty good chance of over 2000 references to Wawa, right?
Ian Schwartz
If she wrote it.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
Ian Schwartz
The trials and tribulations being blind end up. You're 11, you're not. Stop it. It's time we all stop the bull that is Helen Keller's story. Never happened. Fakest thing that's ever been on the planet. A la the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Jesus, the Mormons. None of you guys have a hold a candle to the farce that is the Helen Keller read.
Brady Bogan
Made for a lot of jokes.
Ian Schwartz
A lot of great jokes, funny jokes. That's why. And that's my theory is that that's why her story lives on without her. From second grade to sixth grade. You got no basis for comedy. And she's. She's a reference that doesn't die. Nobody ever says, I don't know who that is. She's before my time, I was important. Look, everybody's made Helen Keller jokes, and sometimes they're hilarious even still. Like, you'll get thrown over the cliff with a Helen Keller. You haven't heard? It was pretty good. She couldn't even handwrite a book. She doesn't know when the paper's over unless you put, like, parameters on there. Banging her hands up against the sides. How does she then know where the next line is? Horse. Sorry, I'm angry about this, but I just put my palm out like I'm feeding a horse and have her right coconut in my hand with her thing. See if she's valuable or not. Did she have kids? Did somebody nail that?
Brady Bogan
I think she got married.
Ian Schwartz
I don't know. What a weirdo. That dude's worse than Nathan Sutherland for no reason. Damon says, you know, Helen Keller was immune to flashbangs. That's true. She couldn't. Cops couldn't get her to. If she was barricaded up and they tried to flashbang her out, nothing would happen. And by the way, most of the time she was barricaded up. Couldn't let her loose. She'd walk right into traffic. That was when cars first started. Helen Keller. The farce must end. Sorry, let's spell coconut in your hand. And the best reference to do is to say, you know, like Helen Keller used to spell words, only using your. Your big V and pretend my wiener is Ann Sullivan's palm. Get on there, miracle worker. And get to get to get to grinding millionaire. I would even have her start with wawa. We'll have the grind out wawa with you. Like, just, let's go the Helen Keller route of do Wawa. Nobody knows her second word. If you start with wawa, you're a whole lot more than five years away from publishing a book. Garbage. Sorry. I'm very angry about the Helen Keller lie. What else have we been lied to about?
Brady Bogan
A study in France found that refined carbohydrates make us noticeably less attractive within two hours of eating them. That includes things like donuts, bagels, pancakes, muffins, white bread, sugary cereals. Researchers had volunteers rate how attractive people's faces were before and after they ate breakfast.
Dick Toledo
Aren't you offended, Brady, by this?
Brady Bogan
Yeah. Beautiful. Some healthy foods that ate the healthy foods and others that ate the carbo heavy meals. The people who ate the carbs were seen as significantly less attractive two hours later.
Ian Schwartz
Right?
Brady Bogan
They're not sure why, but I do. True with men and women.
Ian Schwartz
They'd put on a few pounds that day.
Dick Toledo
They're eating a load of crap.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah, you very rarely look better when you're dig dug. You're puffed up and you're floating around. I ate too many donuts and then I had salsa and chip for lunch. You're looking a little thick there, Bob. I had a donut for breakfast. You don't think I'm pretty anymore?
Brady Bogan
In a new poll, 52% of young women between the ages of 18 and 35 said taking showers is the only me time they get in a given day. Take a look at the car next to you, the eyes rolling. But they're saying to process their stressors and emotions and ups and downs of daily life. They just get too busy during the day and the time to get their downtime or their me time. Yes, females between 19 and 35, boo hoo. Shower.
Ian Schwartz
Then you're mismanaging your time. That's your fault.
Brady Bogan
Someone asked this question and they pulled a bunch of people on it. 2,000 people weighed in on this. Would you rather get a lifetime 99 discount on certain categories? Concerts, gas or luxury goods?
Ian Schwartz
Never have to pay for concert gas. Get a 99 discount on one of those three things.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. So that or luxury goods would be like jewelry, designer clothes, iPhones.
Ian Schwartz
Oh, you get 99 discount on any of those things. You get to pick one.
Brady Bogan
Yep.
Ian Schwartz
Gas.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
Ian Schwartz
Oh yeah.
Brady Bogan
Transport was the gas thing. Would be like Uber, Uber's flights. But you said gas.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
And even car repairs.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
So 32 went with luxury goods.
Ian Schwartz
That's dumb. You don't buy luxury goods all the time.
Dick Toledo
No.
Brady Bogan
20 went with transport, which was the gas. 16% went with utilities.
Ian Schwartz
Gas, electric, water, stuff you're using all the time.
Brady Bogan
It's a bunch of broads that went with the luxury ones.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah. Because they know their man's gonna pay for the gas. And by the way, ladies, you have, if you're good looking enough, a 99% discount on luxury items anyway, we're gonna buy it for you.
Brady Bogan
Well the other one said, well, I would buy, I would get those luxury goods and then resell them. Some of the people said, but 6%.
Ian Schwartz
To pay for gas.
Brady Bogan
6% said entertainment stuff like concerts, movies, streaming services, fine dining and cruises.
Ian Schwartz
There's an argument for that because you use it every day. But gas is the one.
Brady Bogan
Here's an air disaster that was prevented, John. It did.
Ian Schwartz
They have a whole series of that on air disasters too. Almost.
Dick Toledo
So not disasters.
Ian Schwartz
Oh, they're disasters. Oh, well, Brady doesn't consider it a disaster if it's a Chinaman hanging out.
Brady Bogan
They all lived.
Ian Schwartz
They all lived. But that was a disaster to that dude hanging out of the plane.
Brady Bogan
We have a flight in China that was delayed by more than four hours on Wednesday after a passenger threw coins into the engine.
Ian Schwartz
How?
Brady Bogan
The idea. They were lucky coins. Guy says, I throw them in there every time I'm flying for good luck.
Ian Schwartz
How? Roll the window.
Brady Bogan
I was gonna say.
Ian Schwartz
This is what I was just talking about.
Brady Bogan
They still must have the stair up on the stairs.
Ian Schwartz
And the guy just chucks change at the planes.
Brady Bogan
Must be some Hill tenant went to him and said, allegiance out there. Did you throw coins? I did. How many? Between three and five.
Ian Schwartz
You can't do that.
Brady Bogan
He was arrested. China Southern Airlines. See, they were able to retrieve the coins. And they checked it out.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Cleared the jet to fly. Yeah.
Ian Schwartz
They got the coins out of the engine.
Brady Bogan
Doesn't make sense. So it's too much like. I think this should be good luck to throw a coin in.
Ian Schwartz
Well, especially if people are watching it. And he says he always does it.
Brady Bogan
I know.
Ian Schwartz
Which means wherever he showed up from, nobody saw him chucking coins. And I would stop that guy immediately in line. Hey, what are you doing? We don't touch the engines. He's a good rock. No, bad rock.
Brady Bogan
Someone pulled 3,000Americans from all walks of life and asked if a poor fashion choice or two would make them say no to a second date.
Ian Schwartz
Then they listed how poor the choice would be. Overalls, number one, Lizzo and yoga pants. Yeah. No. A guy in overalls.
Brady Bogan
Because number one was wearing a full tracksuit.
Ian Schwartz
Oh, I wouldn't bait you twice.
Dick Toledo
Anyway, where's the Italian American pig?
Brady Bogan
Number two was a full designer outfit, head to toe.
Ian Schwartz
If you're anywhere near 12th street in Northern right now, you just heard that's where that is. When they heard the tracksuit news inside the little Italian American Center.
Brady Bogan
Is it gonna pick up my breakfast date right now?
Dick Toledo
Does breakfast in the parking lot there look like a start of a marathon?
Ian Schwartz
Yeah, of course. It's the Boston Marathon sitting right there. 1972 Boston Marathon. Everybody's in Adidas tracksuit. Brady breaks the news.
Brady Bogan
Number three. Crocs.
Ian Schwartz
Crocs are. That's number one. That is a dude in Crocs showing up. But no lady should like you. And if she does, something's wrong with her. Holmberg's morning sickness.
Brady Bogan
Number four was oversized sunglasses.
Ian Schwartz
Especially if it's at night like Harry, Carrie. Gigantic joke. Why would you wear those? What do you mean? Oversized and I think novelty.
Brady Bogan
I think it's got to be more of the women thing because they were big lens.
Ian Schwartz
Oh, I thought it was women with a deal breaker for men. I thought that's what you said. Oh, I thought you said it fashion.
Brady Bogan
Because they said, you know, like a full designer outfit. Head to toe. That was up. That was the second one. Anything with huge logos on it. A shirt that's way too tight.
Ian Schwartz
NASCAR stuff.
Brady Bogan
Ankle socks and sneakers. Ripped skinny jeans.
Dick Toledo
I feel attacked.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah, they're describing you.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, I won't on my, you know, second dates from now on.
Ian Schwartz
What?
Brady Bogan
I won't wear the.
Ian Schwartz
Would it be the first date? That's how you get it.
Brady Bogan
They're saying that you can wear the.
Ian Schwartz
Crocs on the second day if you show up in Crocs on the first day. Well, that's what the thing was.
Brady Bogan
Any date, I'm out.
Ian Schwartz
Well, that's what she's saying. They're saying on the first day you wear that, you're not getting a second day.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, yeah.
Ian Schwartz
Crocs are out.
Brady Bogan
Oh, yeah.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah, you could. I could be married to you for 20 years. I see in Crocs. This is over. You're quitting. Crocs are worse than a wife in sweatpants and bad hair. Oh, yeah. She just does not care anymore. You put Crocs on, that's it. I don't expect you in lingerie every day, but no Crocs.
Brady Bogan
Yesterday was National Snack Day. And a market research company released the map. It shows the most searched for snack at every US state. Rice Krispie treats were number one in 18 different.
Ian Schwartz
Well, how to make them.
Brady Bogan
And spicy Doritos was preferred snack in 16 states.
Ian Schwartz
WHO searches for Doritos online?
Brady Bogan
They don't break that down.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah, but why? Why? No, you said what state? Like there's an entire state that I.
Brady Bogan
Go to Safeway and get them.
Ian Schwartz
Right. They're just. They're everywhere.
Brady Bogan
Geo state breakdown. Yeah, they do.
Ian Schwartz
Well, that's who I asked. Who's searching for Doritos?
Brady Bogan
Okay, Arizona is Cheetos.
Ian Schwartz
So there are Doritos.
Brady Bogan
Is. You got Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia.
Ian Schwartz
Just Google searching Doritos.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
Ian Schwartz
That does not make sense.
Brady Bogan
I can go to QT and get it.
Ian Schwartz
What am I Googling right now? His news feeds different than ours. This is what weirdos do with their spare time when they're not eating Doritos, they're just reading about them. Take a look at Dorito news.
Dick Toledo
Brady's been searching for Doritos again.
Brady Bogan
Montana's check mix.
Ian Schwartz
Kirby, is there E on the end of Doritos?
Brady Bogan
Utah's got crispy treats.
Ian Schwartz
There's no E on the end of Doritos. Sounds Mormony. Usually that's where I tear the bag where the E would be. But I guess there isn't one.
Brady Bogan
Was it rkts Utah?
Ian Schwartz
I called it.
Brady Bogan
See?
Ian Schwartz
Yeah, they gotta cook for a thousand kids. I can't just buy a bag of Doritos. Be gone in a second.
Brady Bogan
Also Washington, Oregon. Those are Wheaties up there.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah. I just can't imagine. I get searching for Rice Krispies because you got to have a recipe like some people might not know.
Dick Toledo
Searching for the recipe to Doritos.
Ian Schwartz
That's what I'm saying. I don't know why you would do Doritos. I get Rice Krispies squares. There's a functionality to making.
Dick Toledo
Right.
Ian Schwartz
You're making Doritos at home. And if you are, get in the box. What a waste of time.
Brady Bogan
They'll take your package Cheadle.
Ian Schwartz
Go to the convenience store and grab one of the millions.
Dick Toledo
If you could buy a bag of.
Ian Schwartz
Cheadle, though, Brady Brady would be trump orange. Yeah, I found where they sell Cheadle. I quit.
Brady Bogan
He'd be like, but you got a Scarface just as covered in it. Little bump.
Dick Toledo
Just a little too.
Ian Schwartz
Hey, little. Oh, God.
Brady Bogan
Give him a little taste of that.
Ian Schwartz
Hey, buddy.
Brady Bogan
Wendy's is still scrambling after their AI deal. The price surging.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Right now until April 10th, you can get a $1 Dave single and a $2 Dave's double anytime. Bringing the fatties back in.
Ian Schwartz
That's right. Pissed off the fats.
Dick Toledo
We're sorry.
Ian Schwartz
They're gonna hand them some free food.
Brady Bogan
To California and they'll get you dialed in on the dynamic pricing later on.
Ian Schwartz
They'll work that in there. But in the meantime, enjoy your distraction chunks. You'll pay that extra dollar.
Brady Bogan
Cops in Denver, I guarantee you.
Ian Schwartz
The Wendy's boardroom's like, don't worry about it. They're not going anywhere. Give them a free sandwich real quick. They'll quiet down. I was pissed off until I got the Dave double and watch the price go up a buck. And they'd be like, wait, that happened behind my back while I was eating. That freebie.
Dick Toledo
Ray has given us an example of why they might be searching for Doritos. Googling why, John. I have to go to a certain Walmart to get my taco flavored Doritos. So I search out where to get them right.
Ian Schwartz
You should walk to that Walmart.
Dick Toledo
Maybe give up the taco Doritos.
Ian Schwartz
Guarantee you that dude's in a Rascal dragging a cart full of Doritos home.
Dick Toledo
What are you pushing, Ray?
Ian Schwartz
You have to search. You have such a need for taco flavored Doritos that there's a Google search before you go shopping for them.
Dick Toledo
F you, John. I can't search for new flavors.
Ian Schwartz
Just go to the aisle, man. You're so dialed in, you'll recognize the new bag. That's an old one. That's an old one. It's like guys who go through like museums, they know everything about what's on the shelves. Chunks in the Dorito aisle. Now this is a brand new. And it's elephant dung Dorito. I'll try it.
Dick Toledo
Brady. Putting the feed in.
Brady Bogan
News feed.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well done. But wait, there's more Dorito news.
Brady Bogan
We got a collab. Coffee mate and Dr. Pepper. Now you can finally put the cream in your soda. They're teaming up together to.
Dick Toledo
Nope. It's like a float.
Brady Bogan
But I mean like the vanilla Dr. Pepper they put out and stuff. Dirty Dr. Pepper.
Ian Schwartz
You pour like little cream in your soda pop.
Brady Bogan
Do it in the seventies. They do coke.
Ian Schwartz
I never did that.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, maybe it was a Midwest.
Dick Toledo
Like a soda stand. Yeah, you'd get those.
Ian Schwartz
It's a future diabetic. No kidding. And you just pour cream into a hop.
Brady Bogan
Ugh. That sounds pretty tasty, bruh.
Ian Schwartz
Very desserty. Sweet. Didn't they make the Dr. Pepper Cream Ale or whatever that is just recently and it was. Yeah, man. It's like, it's good for the first.
Brady Bogan
Sip and then it's like, whoa.
Ian Schwartz
It's like liquid cake frosting.
Dick Toledo
Seems like.
Brady Bogan
I know you've done this. John. Wondered why. Sticks of butter. You got skinny ones and you got ones that are like just stubby. Fatter. John, you remember thinking about that?
Dick Toledo
Remember all those times?
Brady Bogan
The skinny ones are called Elgin sticks.
Ian Schwartz
I don't think I've ever seen a skinny.
Brady Bogan
They're named after Elgin, Illinois.
Ian Schwartz
They're long.
Dick Toledo
And the other ones that are like fat, they're the same amount.
Brady Bogan
They're just the reason why it's got more girth.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
The skinnier ones are from the Midwest and California. Started to get into the dairy business.
Ian Schwartz
Man. What about this did you think would interest you?
Brady Bogan
Like they're making long.
Ian Schwartz
I wish right now your heart would stop.
Brady Bogan
I wish that's why they're stubbier.
Ian Schwartz
Here. I've never. I've never looked at you and thought cardiac arrest now.
Brady Bogan
Oh, my God.
Ian Schwartz
It's the first time literally wondering what goes through your brain to think this is a good one to include.
Brady Bogan
Do you like the Elgin stick better?
Ian Schwartz
I don't know what the is wrong with you sometimes that you think this one I'll tell. I want to knock your teeth out with my foot.
Brady Bogan
The stick started changing John in the 1960s.
Ian Schwartz
No one cared.
Brady Bogan
He's still rolling.
Ian Schwartz
He's got to finish that butter story. He did a lot of research on that one. The one he does research on.
Brady Bogan
You got any questions?
Ian Schwartz
Yeah, Any questions? Yeah. How. How. Why is your heart still beating? Just drop dead, please.
Brady Bogan
The cops.
Ian Schwartz
Are you trying to hypnotize us and take our wallets? Because it almost worked for a little while. Like 20 of the city's like, I'm in a daze. That story was so boring.
Brady Bogan
Take their wallets. Perfect.
Ian Schwartz
Kerbin herbs.
Brady Bogan
We got them. Join me for butter sculpting?
Ian Schwartz
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
This Saturday competition.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
And now it's time for some Wild, Wild World.
Ian Schwartz
Okay. Why. Why have I not done these? There you go.
Brady Bogan
Hello, my friends. I'm Brady Bogan and this is your Wild wild world. Police went on a wild ostrich chase in South Korea at the local zoo. And ostrich got out, started running the streets of South Korea.
Ian Schwartz
Wild ostrich contained ostrich.
Brady Bogan
Well, it was kind of like a wild geese.
Ian Schwartz
Oh. The chase was wild like Bob Hopewell.
Brady Bogan
But it was actually an ostrich. And it got down the. Ran the streets for a while. They chased it for an hour. There is a video of it running down the street and they finally run.
Dick Toledo
It next to a bus video of an ostrich running.
Ian Schwartz
Pretty cool. South Korea in the middle of the road. If there was an ostrich running down the road, you act like that would be nothing to you. Go yourself. That's an amazing thing. If you're driving down the 202 and you look next to you and there's an ostrich sprinting along, you're telling that.
Brady Bogan
Story and you're told to, you know, catch that ostrich.
Ian Schwartz
Look at Toledo over here, man. That's a thing. Yeah, that's a thing. It's a huge thing.
Brady Bogan
You go crazy when there's a hummingbird.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Do I?
Ian Schwartz
Probably. They probably circle your head on a frequent basis. It's home.
Brady Bogan
Some lady in San Francisco called the police because she said she saw a mountain lion outside of her home walking along the fence. It was a large cat. You're like, if you look at it. But I appreciate the call, but they used the ring camera and look at it.
Ian Schwartz
Oh, they looked at.
Brady Bogan
It was the neighbor's cat.
Ian Schwartz
It's a big cat.
Brady Bogan
Then another lady in England thought she was rescuing a baby hedgehog, put it in a box, took it home that night, put some food in there, some cat food. And then called animal rescue the next morning, right? Said, can I bring this? And I think I captured this baby hedgehog. They. She brings in. They open up the shoe box. It's a faux fur pom pom off the top of someone's hat.
Ian Schwartz
He's an idiot.
Brady Bogan
Oh, yeah. Take a look at the picture of this thing.
Ian Schwartz
Okay. That's pretty hedgehog you, though. Yeah, I know, but I mean, they do ball up. I guess I might think this is a hedgehog too. I'm not gonna lie.
Brady Bogan
No way.
Ian Schwartz
I'd kick it to find out.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, you're.
Ian Schwartz
I might think that's a hedgehog. It's pretty hedgehog. Ian, come on.
Brady Bogan
You know.
Ian Schwartz
Look, I'm not listening to you, Mr. Unimpressed by the ostrich on the freeway. You see that thing hedgehog out here. I'd give it a boot and it would ball up and roll like. I think that's a hedgehog. I don't know that.
Brady Bogan
I think you would have been able to find out. Before you call.
Ian Schwartz
Here's the other thing. It was a hedgehog doing just fine on its own. Why'd you got to pick it up?
Brady Bogan
Could be young enough you would pick it.
Ian Schwartz
What are you gonna do? What are you, a hedgehog's mom?
Brady Bogan
Back to.
Ian Schwartz
To who?
Brady Bogan
Leave it there at the Wildlife Brady.
Dick Toledo
Much like Toledo Savior complex.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, I'm sorry. I gotta rescue that.
Ian Schwartz
Much like Toledo's parents, they didn't care enough about it to not leave it alone. What are you gonna do different? There's something wrong with that.
Brady Bogan
For the most part, let nature.
Ian Schwartz
Yeah, leave it there. You picking up a hedgehog and giving it cat food, that's not good it. I'm looking at you, Brady. Stop picking up animals. You're gonna end up with one of those ski caps at your house.
Brady Bogan
I will rescue that coral snake.
Ian Schwartz
I know. And it doesn't need rescuing. It's already home.
Brady Bogan
That's your Wild Wild World.
Ian Schwartz
We learned something today. There's Skinny Butter and Fat Butter. I didn't know that. I knew that. I didn't know. What an exciting moment that was.
Brady Bogan
The Elgin stick.
Ian Schwartz
Oh, yeah.
Dick Toledo
I just want to replay your reaction.
Ian Schwartz
You know, I didn't realize it until I was talking to normal folk.
Brady Bogan
This is a story that's just for.
Ian Schwartz
Me and my kind.
Brady Bogan
Biggest story of the day. I want to go home now.
Ian Schwartz
It is? It's. Yeah, I do, too. I mean, and then just what else.
Brady Bogan
We got to learn? I want to throw some butter.
Ian Schwartz
Throw darts at Brady's face. That's all I want to do. It's out of control now.
Holmberg's Morning Sickness - Arizona
Episode: Best of HMS Podcasts - Monday, March 10, 2025
Host: John Holmberg
Co-Hosts: Brady Bogan, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo
Release Date: March 10, 2025
[00:34 - 05:52]
The episode kicks off with an intense and controversial debate led by Ian Schwartz, challenging the authenticity of Helen Keller's life story. Schwartz vehemently argues that Helen Keller's achievements are implausible, stating:
Ian Schwartz [01:56]: "She didn’t write any books. Not even close. Do I believe Helen Keller existed? Yes. But the way her story is portrayed is... Bull to Helen Keller all the way around. Didn't happen. And another thing, one more thing while I'm at it. Mad dog on Helen Keller. How come this system doesn't apply to anybody else?"
Brady Bogan interjects with personal anecdotes, sharing a dismissive encounter:
Brady Bogan [02:16]: "On the bus shuttle to the WM Open, guy's about two rows in back of me. The guy was giving him the. There's no way she wrote those books."
