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.
Eric
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.
Lori
Chew and poop.
Brett
That's all they do.
Lori
That's all they're good for. Chewing and pooping the rest of Homeburg's morning sickness. This is the big Red Radio. Time now for Brady to give us the news no one else will. We like to call it the Brady Report. Brady, please report.
Eric
I take you to the island nation of Cyprus. It's a Greek island. Uh oh, we're a mature minx. A MILF happily gave the business to 10 Greek soldiers based on the island and one all night long train pulling romp.
Dana
That's a good woman.
Lori
For the military, ladies. For the military.
Eric
Apparently she was insatiable. It wasn't like the soldiers ganged up on her. On the contrary. According to Cyprus newspaper.
Lori
That's good newspaper.
Eric
The soldiers formed an orderly line outside the room waiting to have sex one by one. At one point, two soldiers came along and served food.
Lori
Nice.
Eric
The soldiers, who ranged from fresh recruits to commanding officers, could have hit it and broken away clean. But one of them recorded some video with his phone and sent it to some other recruits.
Dana
Boy, it sucks to be at the end of that one.
Eric
The army bigwigs heard about the video, saw what happened.
Lori
I drew number 10.
Eric
Punished the soldiers by banishing them to remote parts of the island, away from all the delectable and Desperate Housewives.
Lori
Cyprus isn't that big. You can walk back to her house from wherever. Remote part of the island.
Eric
Yeah, swim.
Lori
Oh, whatever.
Eric
By the other islands.
Dana
By the time number 10 gets there, she's covered.
Lori
Yeah, she's just.
Dana
She looks like a Krispy Kreme.
Lori
She's nice and warm probably too.
Dana
Yeah, she's warm, all right.
Lori
I like Krispy Kremes. What the hell?
Eric
And it's Christmas. And it's Christmas catalog. This year, boys, Neiman Marcus is selling a Sky Car like a Krispy Kreme.
Lori
My visual on that is nasty. Eric. Thank you.
Dana
I'll never look at a donut the same again.
Lori
No, I'm not gonna eat Krispy Kremes anymore. Say that again, Brady. Because Eric's ruined Krispy Kreme Dog nuts.
Eric
Neiman Marcus is selling a Sky Car, which is a flying car.
Lori
I saw that on the news the other day.
Eric
Going for 3.5 million.
Lori
It works.
Eric
Oh, it works, my friend. This car has a vertical takeoff and landings just like a Blackhawk helicopter. Goes 350 miles per hour, gets 21 miles per gallon.
Dana
Wow.
Eric
The Sky Car isn't being mass produced yet, but Neiman Marcus is actually selling off the working prototype. The catalog claims that this car should become available over the public for the next three years.
Dana
About damn time.
Lori
Yeah.
Eric
Downside of the Sky Car is you have tons of permits to use because.
Lori
You gotta be a pilot.
Eric
One from the FAA got a picture of her.
Lori
I saw that thing. The Neiman Marcus catalog. It's the. The cheapest thing in. It's like 35 and it's this dumb pencil. But then everything else is like a million bucks. But I saw the Sky Car and it looks cool. It's bright red, it's got two big fans on the back, and it's just float. They only have a drawing, though. I don't actually see it like the.
Eric
Real one working in the world of road rage. Just put this one in the, I don't know, piss off basket. The line, he's developed a new black box for cars that actually will tell. You will monitor your speed and then narc on you to the cops when you break the speed limit. They're going to use a GPS type box in there. And it has a rundown of all the speed limits in whatever area you're traveling as soon as your car goes over the speed limit of whatever, maybe they give you a 5 mile per hour allowance. The box sends a signal to police and you get a ticket automatically sent to your house. They don't have to patrol the roads anymore.
Lori
The cops don't have to do anything as far as. See now that's the only thing about the cops job I think is absolutely necessary is they gotta catch me.
Dana
Yeah, really. You know, can't make it that easy.
Lori
Speeding, you can't have a. Your car can't tattle on you. That's terrible.
Eric
The Limey department of transportation has commissioned a company to work on the black box. But they haven't said when it might start going in the cars again.
Dana
Can you imagine how many tickets there would be?
Lori
You know how great the state of California is for the speeding thing. It's like all of every citizen of California got together and said screw the speed limit. We're gonna go as fast as we can. Just keep up. Everybody knows that rule. Just, just keep up. And the cops gave up. The cops don't do tickets on the freeways anymore because it would slow things down. You go like 80 on that freeway, nobody's gonna move.
Eric
You can move along pretty good on our, you do pretty good here.
Lori
But then you run into the people that are obeying the laws that are wrecking it for the rest of us.
Dana
Whenever you see that cop on the freeway.
Eric
And what's amazing is the accident that happens. And then when you finally go, you're like, traffic's been slow for a while and you finally get up there and still it's on the side of the road and it still comes to a.
Lori
Yeah, there's a dude changing a tire with another car behind him on the 143 the other day. And it backed things up for like.
Dana
People get freaked out here.
Lori
Oh my God.
Dana
A little rain, a little, little rain.
Lori
Somebody gets down to 20. Why is he pulled over? Should I pulled over? I don't know what's going on. I better stop the car on the freeway and take a look. Just everybody goes 80. That's the rule. Some people are going to go a little faster, but don't go slower than 80. And the cops will just say, look, we're outnumbered.
Eric
Next lane over can be 70.
Lori
No, everything's got to be 80. Because Brady, you got those people like Dana Bodine, our sales manager who followed me home yesterday.
Eric
I wouldn't put it at 80.
Lori
Why?
Eric
Because I don't. I think there's just not enough skilled drivers to Handle a go to California. It's unbelievable trying to do the 55 out here.
Lori
It's hard. It's harder to drive here than it.
Eric
Is drive effectively at 55, get off the road.
Lori
I see. But I think the problem is you got too many people going 70 and then too many people that think 55 is as fast as they go. Dana Bodine, our sales guy yesterday, a sales manager. Super general sales manager Dana Bodine. He had to follow me home. I'm going 56 miles an hour. 56.
Eric
Which is speeding because you don't want to lose him.
Lori
Well, no, it was speeding. What was I on like 48 Street? Yeah, it's 45 miles an hour. So I slowed down a little bit. I get down to 50 and he's still falling behind. I'm like, all right, well, whatever. So we get to the light, we get on the freeway. The 143 start going. I'm up to 63 miles an hour and I've lost him.
Dana
He's a cruiser, that Dana.
Lori
He's a big. And he gets to my house and he goes, I had a hard time finding your place. Cause you had to speed all the way home. Like Dana was going eight miles an hour over the speed limit. It's not what I had you clocked at. What, your speedometer's off? And then driving with him to the place we went was just brutal.
Eric
Tell you you're all right. You have a couple of fast lanes like the Audubon in Germany, and it hums along.
Lori
Well, you let you know. And then it just becomes common knowledge that one lane is first. But people don't understand that if you had two lanes at a certain speed and another at one. This place out here, everybody, Nobody'd get it.
Eric
Across the country, companies are having their employees sign love contracts. What are those? When two employees start dating, they're expected to report it to their company and then sign a contract that promises the relationship is consensual and neither person is being sexually harassed. The whole reason behind it and why More and more companies are jumping aboard Visa. On average, a legit sexual harassment suit against a company or employee cost a company around 250 grand. So more and more companies are having these love contracts since, you know, in office dating.
Lori
Still the reason why women should never have been in the office. Office. That's the biggest reason why women should have never been allowed in the office. I'm right, Eric. Cuz all it did was cause guys to get boners at work.
Eric
Career builder survey finds. Keep them at home.
Lori
Yep.
Eric
50% of U.S. workers say they've dated a coworker.
Lori
Yep. And it's nothing but trouble.
Eric
14% dated their boss. Almost 33% have dated two or more co workers.
Lori
Cuz it makes it uncomfortable for everyone else too. We've been there.
Dana
But it's so easy to pick up chicks at work.
Lori
Yeah.
Dana
Cause there's chicks at work readily available.
Lori
In the olden days, there was just one chick at work and the boss had at her and that was it. Those were the good old days.
Dana
It is kind of funny though, the drama that ensues in the workplace since.
Lori
Women have been at the workplace.
Dana
Yeah.
Lori
Remember the old days when guys would just go out and have scotch for lunch, come back to work. We're not gonna do a thing today because no one's here to nag us.
Dana
Yeah. If we went back to the 50s, things would be much better.
Lori
Oh, Eric, you and me. Hopefully our God Zeus will take us there. Yes.
Eric
Saying till death do us part. It's part of a wedding vow. It's been around for that, I don't know, a long time, but it's all now. Around the country, more and more people are leaving till death do us part out of their marriage vows and hedging their bets. And in this place, they're saying, for as long as we continue to love each other, or for as long as our love shall last, why bother? Or until our time together is over.
Lori
Wow. Talk about quitting before you start.
Eric
And then there's this one. For as long as our love shall continue to serve the greater good.
Lori
So long as it's. As long as there's something in it for me. Why don't they just say what they mean?
Dana
Just say, all praise Zeus, so long.
Lori
As I still get something out of you.
Eric
All praise Zeus.
Lori
That's ridiculous. Is that real?
Eric
That's real. There's a lady New Jersey wedding expert, Sharon Naylor. She's the author of a book, your special wedding vows we're hearing as long as our love shall last. A lot. She says, that's. I personally think it's quite a statement. In today's times, people know the odds of divorce.
Lori
Wow. So people are just basically saying that their weddings. Now, now.
Eric
Until the good time is over.
Lori
Yeah, Until I'm pretty much finished draining you of everything you've got.
Eric
Let's take your parents for a little ride in this reception.
Lori
Exactly. Let's just throw a $20,000 party and roll, baby. Till this party is over.
Eric
In a new study, more than 11,000 people that partook in the study University College of London. Hello. Hello. 10% of women said that having a job, a husband and kids has destroyed their sex drive beyond all recognition. In fact, those 10% say they lost all interest in relations for at least six months last year. 4% of married working women with kids also say they have serious problems achieving a climax.
Dana
Come on, women.
Lori
It's your own fault, ladies.
Dana
Ridiculous.
Lori
Pull your heads out and do what you were doing 35 years ago, which is hanging around the house waiting to get laid rather than this jobby job Haver.
Dana
Here's why this happens, ladies. You don't give it to him. So he's got all this build up and finally when you do, he's blowing in a minute.
Lori
Yeah, it's true. He's a two. He's a two pump chump. And then you're just laying there going, this isn't what I remember.
Brett
Where's the magic?
Dana
You give it to him consistently.
Lori
Yeah, where's the magic?
Dana
You'll be getting your lights banged out.
Lori
The magic disappeared the minute you let your ass get huge.
Eric
Yeah, because Eric's been a veteran, right? Married.
Lori
I. You know what? He's right. I'm telling you, as a veteran of marriage, he's right.
Dana
Thank you, John.
Lori
He's absolutely right. It becomes a treat rather than just a thing that you do for some. No, for a good portion. There's a nice portion out there and then the guy. You know what's even worse? When you see a guy defeated, who just says, I don't have sex, I'm married. And we've. We've just quit on it.
Eric
Yeah, there's some guys that like to say that.
Lori
I know some dudes love it, it's pitiful. And then the next thing you know, they're blaming you. Oh, we don't ever have sex.
Dana
That's why you go get it somewhere else. That's exactly why they stray, guys and girls.
Lori
Why? Mostly, though, why men do. Because that lady at home has made sense sex, a big deal and won't give it to you.
Eric
Lori Blake, you want it?
Lori
Derek, lay down John 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's blowing kind of cool, but it really smells like a basement. What can I do about that, Larry?
Unknown
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.
Lori
Nice.
Wayne
Is that a big deal to get done?
Unknown
Not at all. It takes about an hour and in most cases we can do it while you wait.
Eric
That's awesome.
Unknown
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.
Lori
Holmberg's morning sickness.
Eric
Lori Blake's a judge in Sherman, Texas. She's achieved every parent's dream. I guess. She's made it illegal for a teenage girl to have sex. The girl in question, 17 year old old. And they don't give her name of course, but she was convicted of an undisclosed drug offense and as part of the probation, judge Blake banned her from having sex for as long as she's living with her parents and going to school. Yes, apparently it is legal.
Lori
How do they enforce that?
Eric
There's the.
Lori
There's the rub.
Eric
Yeah, that's fine. You can mandate that.
Dana
But what about self pleasure?
Lori
Good question. That's like probation time. Is it?
Eric
I think game's on.
Lori
She can play that. She just can't. What about girl on girl?
Dana
Yeah, girl on girl band.
Lori
Oh, it's banned.
Dana
Is that if they have physical penetration?
Brett
Yeah.
Lori
Or if they don't, anything goes in that girl. She's going to the.
John Holmberg
She's going to the.
Eric
Why does that sound just extra slimy when you're talking about it?
Lori
Almost picture him in a trench coat.
Eric
Just like.
Lori
Penetration. Eric says penetration during a football game.
Brett
They can't get penetration.
Lori
Oh, God, Eric, why do you have to be so graphic?
Eric
Richmond, California Their money grubbing street cleaning scam may have just killed a man. 49 year old Ron Coleman and 42 year old Juano De so De Sosa.
Lori
All right.
Eric
They were neighbors. They didn't get along. During one day a week where the street was having to get clean, Wano would park his car in front of Ron's house. Ron hated that because every week they had to scream each other. They went out for it went on for an entire year until this week. The argument got physical.
Lori
All right.
Eric
Ron wound up going into the house, grabbing his gun.
Lori
Oh.
Eric
He shot in the head.
Lori
Oops.
Eric
Quano was critically wounded. He's on life support and is not expected to survive. Police arrested Ron for the shooting. Could be charged with murder. If Juano dies.
Lori
All because a dude would. Who cares if you're street cleaner gets in front of your house? They don't do anything anyway, do they?
Eric
Well, every. You know, it's street cleaning rage, I guess every that one day a week, Ron has to park his car in front of his street cleaner and make him go around.
Lori
Wow.
Eric
Knowing that it.
Lori
It's pushing a button, Doing it on purpose.
Eric
A lot of people like to push buttons.
Lori
Boy, you'll play that game get shot by the street cleaner. They clean the streets in Guadalupe more than the people clean themselves. Have you noticed that here in the Guad, that street cleaner goes through two times a morning?
Eric
Pretty good.
Lori
You know what I'd like to see is the residents of Guadalupe just laying in the road one day, and the street cleaner just goes over and gives everybody a bath.
Dana
They need to figure out a way to. Yard cleaner or something.
Lori
They need. Isn't that odd?
Dana
Yeah.
Lori
Of all places, they have bad landscaping. Guadalupe.
Eric
Remember when we used to care about Afghanistan?
Lori
It's true, Eric.
Dana
We do care, Brady.
Lori
I still care.
Eric
Do I want to let you know that Afghanistan just opened its first shopping mall? And inside the mall, Afghanistan also got its first escalator. Osama's got a store scaring the baala out of people. They won't use it.
Lori
No, it's a tool of the devil. It takes them upstairs and then down.
Eric
Maybe Anwar Hussein, the guy who manages a hotel.
Dana
Hussein, Correct.
Lori
A bunch of those. That's like Smith.
Eric
He manages a hotel that's building the mall and says, quote, people are afraid of the escalator. They just stare at it. They're amazed. And there's like, this is the devil.
Lori
We need to bomb this guy.
Dana
Wouldn't that be crazy? We're looking for Osama for all these years, and he's in the mall.
Lori
What? He's just got a Slurpee and an Orange Julius.
Brett
Sup? You guys got dispensers today? Hilarious.
Eric
Now, if you were. Let me ask you this. An escalator. And if you wore, like, a long dress.
Lori
Oh. Get caught in those metal teeth, maybe. That's true. They're in those burkas. Those ladies are gonna swallow it. Up.
Brett
What you have, Osama? I drinking on Julius. It's good.
Eric
That's all real, dude.
Dana
Every other go to the food court.
Eric
There'S like 29 kiosks of orange Julius.
Brett
You know we were wrong about America. Orange Juliet kicks ass.
Dana
We're all running around in caves looking for his ass.
Brett
What do you have on your iPad, Osama? Oh, Nelly. Getting hot in here. I'm taking off all of my clothes.
Eric
Nachman, look. Cinnabon.
Brett
I got the Cinnabon. Made my tummy hurt. We'll bomb somewhere tomorrow. My tummy aches too much. Cinnamon bun. They're opening a steak escape. Kick ass.
Lori
Let's skate. They're just skate rats at the mall now.
Brett
Osama. Is that a pal Peralta? Yeah, I just picked it up. Food school pal Peralta gotta push his.
Dana
IV all over the mall.
Brett
Let's go hang out at Wet Seal and watch the horse change into dirty, dirty burkas.
Eric
They're wearing a hurly burka.
Brett
Where did you get that? Chess king.
Lori
That's hot. They got a maw.
Brett
Don't go down the devil's stairs. You mean the moving stairs? Yes, I know. The ones that take you to heaven and hell.
Lori
Frightening.
Brett
I'll do it the old fashioned way.
Lori
Thank you.
Eric
Look now, would you like to stop by Abercrombie?
Lori
Abercrombie? And who's saying?
Dana
Boy, they hate us. But then they copy all our stuff.
Lori
Well, we're over. They're kind of pushing it on.
Dana
Are we?
Brett
What?
Lori
In the effort. Dillard?
Brett
I don't know, man. Go ahead.
Eric
In Jacksonville, Florida, 29 year old Benjamin Glover, 25 year old Desmond Ross were arrested for showing an adult movie on their TV screens inside their hoopty, in their pimped out ride where children and two other cars could see it. In Florida it's a felony. You ready for this? A felony to display obscene materials where kids can see them. Both guys can get up to five years in prison. Wow. But Benjamin says he was wrongfully arrested because he wasn't watching actual porn. He was enjoying the 1998 ice cube Jamie Fox classic the Players Club.
Lori
There's some nakedness in that that I.
Eric
Don'T know what's worse. Five years in prison for admitting it. You were watching the Players Club?
Lori
Yeah. That's naked. I don't remember. Vivica A. Fox, Probably. Was she in that?
Dana
I don't know.
Lori
I would assume so.
Dana
But she's a hot black girl.
Lori
Yes. She got naked in. She could. Naked? No, she was just in a thong. In Independence Yeah. Looked good though.
Eric
According to New York magazine, 25 year old Natalia McLennan was Manhattan's number one trollop. She was pulling in 1.5 million a year in revenue. She worked for New York Confidential. The ultra high end call girl service in Manhattan. And her rate was 2,000 bucks an hour. At 1.5 million she built 750 hours a year.
Lori
She's lonely.
Eric
That's less than three hours a day for five days a week.
Lori
That's impressive.
Eric
She got to keep 45 of her take. So that's 675, 000 a year. Lutalia let the money go to her head and went bragging about her income to the media. She was on talk shows in the papers and the COVID of New York magazine. And an article called NY's Number One Escort Reveals All. But with that much media exposure, the cops got wiped. Lies to her. Went to the NY Confidential wrestler for money laundering and prostitution. Yesterday. All that big talk how much cash she makes selling her body. Natalia. But not guilty. Really to the charges. If convicted. New York's number one piece of street squish. You get 15 years in the canned heat. Caged heat. Excuse me.
Lori
You can be candied.
Eric
I'd rather be caged.
Lori
Yeah.
Dana
Candy doesn't sound.
Eric
2,000 bucks an hour.
Lori
Somebody is lonely. $2,000 grand an hour.
Dana
Boy, she better be doing all of it.
Lori
Some tricks that I don't know about for two grand an hour that I'm almost curious to see. And then just for. If she's just giving you the sex for $2,000. It's just stay home and masturbate.
Dana
And you better hope you don't.
Lori
It's freezing.
Dana
Get off too quick with that.
Eric
We gotta pay for the whole hour. Baby. Shoot.
Dana
Damn it.
Lori
Will you just hang out here for the next 54 minutes then. Thanks. We'll get a picture of her up.
Dana
You're all trying to recuperate real quick before your hour runs up.
Lori
No. I'll tell you what. For $2,000 an hour it's going to be tough to get me aroused. That's it. $2,000. You can't. All right.
Brett
I'm doing all I can.
Lori
$2,000. You better do the splits with your face.
Dana
Ow.
Lori
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She better be able to perform oral on herself.
Eric
Two thousand bucks an hour. And I guess if I that means I'd have sex once. Once a year.
Lori
That's your budget?
Eric
Yeah.
Lori
Pretty good. I bet you mine's about the same sex budget. How Much would it be? It's a good point. How much do you think? Oh my God, that's. It would be ridiculous. She's not worth 2,000 an hour. We got a picture of her we'll put on the website. She's a crack whore. She might weigh a hundred pounds if she told me 2,000 bucks as I leaned my head out my desperate car window. 2000 for the first hour. All right, so long, skinny.
Eric
But then again, that's New York dollars. So factor in the Phoenix, it's still probably 1500.
Lori
Go home and shake out some knuckle children. $2,000 an hour. Have some pride.
Dana
New York dollars.
Lori
What? Cost of living at 6:42 in the morning Sickness. There is your Brady Report. What's the most you'd spend for sex?
Eric
It's a stupid question for me because.
Lori
I. I'm not talking about with a hooker.
Eric
People pay me.
Lori
Oh yeah, there he goes. There he goes.
Eric
Hello Phoenix.
Lori
So that's why you don't have sex.
Dana
Now if it was some like, piss, like a hot Asian, really, I'd go up to a grand maybe.
Lori
Really?
Dana
If I had the dough.
Lori
Come on. Sad, sad young man.
Dana
Just for the hot Asian.
Lori
I was gonna say 40 bucks.
Eric
Nah, you'd go a grand for penetration.
Dana
No way.
Lori
I can say that again.
Dana
That's if I had the money. Now I don't have the money. So based on my income, I would have to go about fifty hundred dollars.
Eric
For the hot Asian and a two for one. Buy one entree, get one maybe.
Dana
Yeah, maybe they have discounts for me or something.
Lori
I'd microwave a healthy choice meal, read a movie.
Eric
Eric goes to the Chicken Wing Ranch.
Lori
You give her 40 bucks.
Dana
10% off with your red card.
Lori
Yeah, that's your Brady report. Yeah, 40 bucks max. If you're spending more than 40 for a little tail, you're doing it wrong. It's 98 KUPD, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station.
