Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Mystique of the Rah Rah Room

• Secretive, Members-Only Experience:

  • John describes the almost mythical access to the Rah Rah Room, emphasizing its hidden, exclusive entrance and the sense that only members understand its "symbol"—“like the Batman” (02:02).
  • The room itself is reminiscent of a Rat Pack-era lounge, adorned with photos of Sinatra and the classic elite ambiance. "It looks like 1940s, might have a Hoffa or two." (04:07)

• Navigating Exclusivity:

  • John and his friend Mark bluff their way past security staff who treat them like returning VIPs, despite it being their first time (02:23–03:14).
  • Describes the process with humor: “I'm just the bald friend… I paid top dollar for this. Where's my ass kissery?” (02:45)

2. Brush with Celebrities and Sports Elites

• Famous Company:

  • John casually details encounters with Suns owner Matt Ishbia, renowned golfer Jon Rahm, WNBA player Sophie Cunningham, and post-game mingling with Draymond Green and Steph Curry (04:05–05:02).
  • “I have no business in this place. It was incredible.” (05:02)

• Impressions of the Elite Social Scene:

  • The crew jokes about how little they fit into this world, nerdily embracing their ‘outsider’ status: “We just got liquored up the whole time. Phenomenal.” (09:52)

3. The Double John Holmberg Mystery

• Unexpected Identity Crisis:

  • When attempting to make dinner reservations, John discovers another “John Holmberg” in the Rah Rah Room database—with a different phone number (06:16).
  • The group riffs on possible dual identities and speculates about running into his “bizarro” self:
    • “There's another John Holmberg inside the Rah Rah room. That isn't me.” (06:32)
    • “This could be a moment. What if we're the same dude?” (08:14)

• Running Jokes and Listener Theories:

  • The idea spirals: Is the other John a wealthy yacht owner, a doppelgänger, an evil twin, or someone secretly using the name?
  • “You don't muck up another dude's name.” (09:19)
  • “If there was a Brady Bogan that just showed up… you gotta meet this guy!” (08:01)

4. Social Hierarchies and Who Gets In

• Who’s Deserving of Entry?

  • The hosts banter about which friends–and even family–are “Rah Rah Room material,” playfully ranking themselves and each other.
  • “You guys have to pick it up a little bit to get into that. So far, Stebbings is just my only friend that gets in.” (21:43)

• Attire & Ambiance:

  • Attendee dress is observed to shift as the Rah Rah Room scene acclimates: “The ones that came prepared... it was Phoenix Open type.” (23:58)
  • “Surprisingly not much Tommy Bahamas... there was not much douchebaggery.” (24:24)

• Exclusivity Amplifies the Bit:

  • “You look the part. It's like an Italian mob restaurant—it's awesome. I haven't even eaten yet, but I will.” (34:04)

5. The Experience – Food, Drink, and Luxury

• Opulence and Service:

  • Descriptions of the food, $483 drink tab, self-serve candy room (“like Willy Wonka’s room”), and state-of-the-art features (hidden TVs turning into mirrors) illustrate the surreal luxury (16:41–32:33).
  • “There’s a room of candy... all the candy you could ever imagine... And the girl turned to me... ‘anything you want.’” (32:06)
  • “At the end of the game they're coming by... meatballs on a tray... none of it is just... some sort of hillbilly festival that you guys would go to.” (34:12–34:44)

• Financial & Social Perspective:

  • John keeps comic perspective about being the “poorest in the room” among billionaires and sports stars: “The guy standing next to me has four and a half billion dollars invested in the team and he’s not broke.” (36:27)

[Radio Station Announcer]

Putting the fu back in funny Homburg's morning sickness. 98 KUPD.

[John Holmberg]

My Thanksgiving was just fine. It's, you know, normal, this, that, the other. But I've seen something now that has changed my life. There I was Saturday night in the Rah Rah room. Son's new.

[Brady Bogan]

Not the Boom Boom Room.

[Brett Vesley]

No, no, I didn't go to the Boom Boom room.

[John Holmberg]

I only went past the Boom Boom room. Exclusive. My friend Mark and members only. That's right. And I am a member.

[Brett Vesley]

Good story.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I joined. I joined a long time ago.

[Brady Bogan]

Deals gonna be jealous.

[John Holmberg]

Long time ago. So I tell my buddy Mark, he.

[Brett Vesley]

Goes to the game with me on Saturday, and I said, I got the Rah Rah.

[John Holmberg]

So here's the fun part, Brett, you'd have liked it. There's an exclusive entrance to the arena.

[Brett Vesley]

For Rah Rah room members. You don't know that. You won't ever find it. It's just for us, like the Batman.

[Stebbings]

It'S a symbol that only Rah Rah room members know.

[Brett Vesley]

I can't tell you. It's like your stupid handshake fraternity. Only mine means something.

[Stebbings]

You're in.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. So we walk to that because I.

[Brett Vesley]

Gotta park at the apartment crossweb.

[John Holmberg]

So walk to the thing, go in, and we've never been there. And Stebbings and I walk up and there's like six people at the door.

[Brett Vesley]

And this big, tall black guy starts.

[Unidentified Guest]

Going, welcome back, gentlemen. Welcome back. I remember you.

[Brett Vesley]

And I'm like, He thinks all those pink people look exactly alike.

[John Holmberg]

He goes, I remember you guys. Welcome back. And he's shaking hands. What was your name again? He's like, mark and you? I'm like, I'm John. Nice to meet you. Now I think he thought Mark was someone else.

[Brett Vesley]

He starts treating Mark like a God.

[John Holmberg]

And I'm just the bald friend. And I'm like, he's not the member. Where's my. Where's my ass kissery? I paid top dollar for this. So Mark said, well, I'm fine. We go into the game. We walk right through. We didn't have reservations.

[Brett Vesley]

You got to get reservations for the dinner time. So we walked in, and I'm like.

[John Holmberg]

We just see it. It's like we're at max capacity.

[Brett Vesley]

Very small. It's a cool room.

[Brady Bogan]

Can you get drinks or something? If you don't have.

[John Holmberg]

Well, if you don't have. It's not at Max Cap, but it was. And game nights are a little tougher than us. So I'm like, so we just want to know where it was. They let us in this side thing. This guy is like, you boys. I mean, good to see you again. Mark and I are like, we have never seen you in our lives. So Mark and I just start walking.

[Brett Vesley]

Around the bowels of the building because it's in this.

[John Holmberg]

Like, we're in, man. We're like, you want to go in the locker room? I know my way around this place.

[Brett Vesley]

Pretty good from the years of doing media stuff.

[John Holmberg]

And then we wander into one of the clubs. We have no passes.

[Brett Vesley]

We have nothing. We're just stealing stuff.

[John Holmberg]

Walking through, go to our seats, and we're like, all right, how do we.

[Brett Vesley]

Get back down in there? We don't have any. So I. We walk down at the end of.

[John Holmberg]

The second quarter, we walk down. We're like.

[Brett Vesley]

We're going into the Rah Rah room for halftime because dinner serving's over. We'll go to the bar. It's a beautiful bar. Hop in there.

[John Holmberg]

Go back down there. And the guy's like, welcome back.

[Unidentified Guest]

Look who's back.

[John Holmberg]

I'm like, how come this guy likes us so much? This is weird. We're going to go into the room for half. Sure enough, we walk into this opulent. You would love it. Pictures of Sinatra.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, man.

[John Holmberg]

You know, they got all the rat packs. Sammy Davis is driving a car in one of these. Beautiful. Looks like 1940s might have a Hoffa or two. Didn't. Didn't explore that. Looking around, I'm standing with Matt Ishbia, John Rahm, the golfer.

[Brett Vesley]

Mark and I are, you know, Cliff.

[John Holmberg]

And Norm at the end of the bar.

[Brett Vesley]

And he looked at me and he.

[John Holmberg]

Goes, never gonna watch another second of basketball in my life. This is it. This is where we go. And I'm like, we are staying. We went down there at halftime. We left at 12:30. We're staying in the Raha Room forever. Ishpi is hanging out. We're palling around with Sophie Cunningham and the Mercury. Oh, we had a nice talk with Sophie. She's veteran person. She's beautiful, fun. Kevin Ray comes in after the game's over, his son Zach. We're getting blitzed at the Rah Rah Room, looking around at celebrities. Oh, and then we're standing at the end of the bar, and I hear, excuse me.

[Brett Vesley]

Oh, I'm sorry about.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, sorry about that. Draymond Green and Steph Curry. I'm like, this is amazing. I have no business in this place. It was incredible. So I go over. My dad's coming to town in December, and the place is open for dinners. And so at first I like, what did I spend money on here?

[Brett Vesley]

What did I buy? Is this worth it?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, is it ever priceless? Go up to the front desk and I say, hey, my dad's in town and I want to have a dinner on an off, like, there's no Suns game. She goes, let's check. And it was coming up and December. She goes, oh, yeah, sure. And I said, so we're going to need reservations for that that night. And the guy behind the girl at.

[Brett Vesley]

The counter says, normally you have to do this online, but we will make an exception.

[John Holmberg]

And I'm like, eh, you'll do what I say. And I just kind of threw the.

[Brett Vesley]

Bomb out, like, I paid for that.

[John Holmberg]

You're going to.

[Brett Vesley]

You're going to do a little reservation. There's nobody standing at your desk. I'm not bothering it.

[John Holmberg]

And I said, and we're in the bowels of the arena.

[Brett Vesley]

There's no web down here. There's no Internet service.

[John Holmberg]

So she said, what's your name?

[Brett Vesley]

And I said, it's John Holmberg. And she goes, all right, Mr. Holmberg.

[John Holmberg]

Time this, blah, blah, blah, puts the reservation together. And she goes, and we will text you at this number. Is this your number? 480361? And I'm like, no, that is not my number. And then she goes, hmm, that's Interesting. So I'm looking over the counter at.

[Brett Vesley]

The computer, and she's got my name in there.

[John Holmberg]

And I said, that's my name. That's me right there. And she goes, this isn't your number. And I'm like, no. And she scrolls down a little bit, and there's me, John Holmberg, with my number. And I'm like, hold on a tick. There's another John Holmberg in this thing? And she goes, it would appear so.

[Brett Vesley]

And I'm like, I never met another one of those.

[John Holmberg]

Or did I get charged double? Right? And I'm like, where's Bizarro John? Oh. So I looked. I didn't. There's a John Holmberg inside the Rah Rah room. That isn't me.

[Brady Bogan]

Maybe it's the yacht guy or whoever you were trying to.

[John Holmberg]

That's what I'm wondering. Yeah. So I'm finally, maybe gonna get my dream come true of a John Holmberg convention, which was so quickly shut down by the Virgin Islands yacht Superman. With a one word, you could have your private party. I could have just he and I, and it would be like, hey, man, what the. Remember when I emailed you and said, let's get all the John Holmbergs together? And you just emailed back and said, no, big flower. Email. Hey, wouldn't it be great since I'm like, when you Google John Holmberg, you and I are the only two that come up. Wouldn't it be great to just contact all the John Holmbergs and have a convince this 20 years ago, have a convention of John Holmberg? Just throwing it out there. Hope your regatta goes well this weekend. Signed the other John Holmberg.

[Brett Vesley]

Ha ha ha.

[John Holmberg]

Email back. No, that was it that John Holmberg said. Now there's a potential that. That John Holmberg is in the Rah Rah.

[Stebbings]

He's in the Rah Rah.

[John Holmberg]

I got a Southern John Holmberg. And by the way, how in the world have we not crossed paths? How does he not want to meet me?

[Stebbings]

Maybe he's new in town.

[John Holmberg]

Must be.

[Brett Vesley]

You gotta want to know the other guy.

[John Holmberg]

If there was a Brady Bogan that just showed.

[Brett Vesley]

You gotta meet this guy.

[John Holmberg]

So to the other John Holmberg out there, I'm waiting. This could be a moment. What if we're exactly.

[Unidentified Guest]

What if it's.

[John Holmberg]

What if we're the same dude?

[Brady Bogan]

He listens to Beth or something.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe, but he's gotta be aware. Somebody's had to tell him, hey, are you related to that jackass on kupd? Like I'm unfamiliar with it. Tired of hearing about it, not asking again. You could be tired of it. You still wanna meet him?

[Stebbings]

You would have known.

[John Holmberg]

You would have known.

[Brett Vesley]

Yeah. Here he's on this.

[John Holmberg]

David Holmberg, that was the pitcher for the Diamondbacks, knew about me when I made contact with the Diamondbacks guy to try to get him to do stuff. And all I said was, don't screw up everything. The name's already kind of got a thing going here that's not so bad. If you come in and give up towering home runs and important games and become the Bill Buckner of the Diamondbacks, I don't want that. Nobody ever thinks about the people with the same name. Bill Buckner isn't the only Buckner in the world. There were Buckners in Kansas when that ball slid through his legs. And they call it the Buckner now, that this poor prick who's just got to go to work at some facility in Des Moines, had to deal with his whole life. You don't muck up another dude's name.

[Brett Vesley]

But the.

[John Holmberg]

The other John Holmberg is a thing, and he was in there. And I looked around for big noses and bald heads. Couldn't see it. They have. Didn't see. Did not see.

[Brett Vesley]

God damn it, no.

[John Holmberg]

I did look for waiters who were.

[Brett Vesley]

Looking at their bill going, oh, really?

[John Holmberg]

But that's him. He's a terrible tipper. To be the other John Holmberg, it was pretty amazing. So we stood in there and we.

[Brett Vesley]

Just got liquored up the whole time.

[John Holmberg]

Phenomenal. But now I've got a goal in.

[Brett Vesley]

The Rah Rah Room.

[John Holmberg]

But it was pretty cool at the end of the game, and there's Steph Curry and Draymond Green, and they're all walking through the Rah Rah Room. Ishbia's hanging out. This is cool.

[Brady Bogan]

Now, you can't see the game from.

[John Holmberg]

The Rah Rah Room, though, right? No. They have TVs, they're underneath the arena, and there's no windows or anything. If there's a fire, the Rah Rah.

[Brett Vesley]

Room is just a tomb.

[Brady Bogan]

It's a Great White concert.

[John Holmberg]

It is. Great White had better exits.

[Radio Station Announcer]

This is.

[John Holmberg]

You're in deep, deep trouble because there's.

[Brett Vesley]

No way in and out of this thing at all.

[John Holmberg]

Unless there's a door we don't know about in the kitchen, and then everybody's.

[Brett Vesley]

Got to run through the hot, steamy steak kitchen.

[John Holmberg]

But, man, oh, man, was that awesome. And I'm walking through the Rah Rah Room and this. Maybe this guy was John Holmberg. He. He's. I walk by and a guy goes, you said something? And I bow up a little. I'm like, what'd I do?

[Brett Vesley]

I don't know what he's talking about.

[John Holmberg]

And he goes, you said something a couple weeks ago. And I'm like, oh, the show. I said, I thought. You thought. I thought you were looking at your wife's cans or something. And he goes, no, no, no. There was some lady on the phone who was waiting for a food basket.

[Brett Vesley]

And I'm like, oh, yeah, no, that was a pretty great moment on the show.

[John Holmberg]

Makes me uncomfortable to talk about it. Rah, rah.

[Brett Vesley]

Room listener. Maybe he was the other John Holmer.

[Stebbings]

The biggest.

[John Holmberg]

How in the world do you go through this and not meet the other me? And then when we would hug, it would be two John Holmbergs coming together as one and maybe giving each other the perfect consistency of hug, understanding what the other John Holmberg needs more than anyone else on this planet ever has. And then we would lock into this embrace for a while and go, I've.

[Brett Vesley]

Never felt love like this before, before John Holmberg.

[John Holmberg]

And he would say the same. And then perhaps a kiss, a long, deep kiss that only two John Holmbergs.

[Brett Vesley]

Know how to give each other.

[John Holmberg]

One John Holmberg pleasing another John Holmberg. The only person that knows how to do it best is me. Weird. But he can't be doing too badly if he's a member down there. It ain't cheap. So he's not a deadbeat. I want to know what this John Holmberg does. Is he the most successful John Holmberg in the city? There's a good chance of that.

[Radio Station Announcer]

Merry effing holidays from the Big Red Radio. Holmberg's morning sickness.

[Stebbings]

I just put John holmberg.

[Brett Vesley]

That's me, LinkedIn other homes.

[John Holmberg]

You find him.

[Brett Vesley]

There's like 30 of them.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but that's across the world. We're all over Sweden.

[Stebbings]

Yeah, well, I'm just talking in. In the States and I'm trying to think, oh, there's, you know, maybe the guy just moved recently.

[John Holmberg]

Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and any enclave of Swedes.

[Brett Vesley]

Because what the Swedes did, my family, the dumbass Swedes, so much happier now.

[John Holmberg]

That I'm Jewish, is that they came from the worst weather in the world.

[Brett Vesley]

And then found a place that's equal to it and stayed.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know what they were thinking going to northwestern Pennsylvania and living by that lake, but it reminded them of Sweden. It's cold, it's miserable. Lake effect, snow. It's horrible. The weather is brutal. If you're leaving Sweden for the United States, why did you find a place just like Sweden? And then they didn't like Pennsylvania, so they moved up a little further up into the Minnesota and started St. Olaf. It's colder there than it is in Pennsylvania. Miserable idiots.

[Stebbings]

There's some Jon. John Holmberg.

[Brett Vesley]

That doesn't count. Okay, Johan Holmberg. It has to match.

[Brady Bogan]

When she found the other John Holmberg's number, was that actually Brady's number? Because you guys do get confused a lot.

[John Holmberg]

That is true. If it was a visual thing, I didn't. I didn't think to call it. Hey, hey, hey.

[Brett Vesley]

And then you got the. Oh, I thought that was Peter Gabriel. What is that?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. Did you celebrate me home?

[Brady Bogan]

That was something that just kept going.

[Brett Vesley]

Oh, yeah, there it is.

[Valley Chevy Dealer Announcer]

I'm the other John Holmberg and I'd.

[Unidentified Guest]

Like to get in.

[John Holmberg]

So here's the fun of all this. Now that I know there's another John Holmberg, technically I get 20 buddy passes.

[Brett Vesley]

Now instead of the 10.

[John Holmberg]

Because all I have to do is tell people and just come in and.

[Brett Vesley]

Say, you're on John Holmberg's tab. This is perfect.

[John Holmberg]

And they just didn't tell him. It's the phone number, starts with a three. The other John Holmberg is the one. And how also have we gone this far? 24 years on the air without somebody calling or emailing and saying, I'm friends with the other John Holmberg.

[Brett Vesley]

I have to know this guy.

[John Holmberg]

It's not common. I need a scapegoat. Something goes south and like, John Holmberg did it.

[Brett Vesley]

I'm like, that was the other one.

[Stebbings]

Could be a direct link to Ishbia too.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, come on. I'll tell you this. Jon Rahm did well for himself.

[Brett Vesley]

That golfer was sitting in there. ASU's John Rom.

[Unidentified Guest]

Not.

[Brett Vesley]

Not bad there, John. Good work, kid.

[John Holmberg]

It says, how could you not spot.

[Brett Vesley]

Another giant nosed rabbi in such a small venue? Oy vey.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's not funny, Vincent Thorne, but you're right.

[Brett Vesley]

Let's just.

[John Holmberg]

Let's put it this way.

[Brett Vesley]

There were a few Jews down there.

[Brady Bogan]

This one. I don't know if this is true or not.

[John Holmberg]

A lot of lawyers in that room.

[Brett Vesley]

I always tell you that.

[John Holmberg]

Says, I met the other John Holmberg. He's short like Danny Devino. He's the owner of Postinos. That. I don't.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't know if that's true or not.

[John Holmberg]

John Holmer Goes Postino.

[Brett Vesley]

Google that. Brady. Immediately. Brady went to his handbrake.

[Unidentified Guest]

Huh?

[John Holmberg]

How in the world has nobody said anything about me? I didn't even know there was another me out there. What a lucky kid. He's short like Danny DeVito, though.

[Brett Vesley]

Twins.

[John Holmberg]

Somebody's already Photoshopped Brady.

[Brady Bogan]

Batman's already got that up. All right, I gotta post that one.

[John Holmberg]

Waiting to get into places. He wasn't invited for turkey.

[Brett Vesley]

That's great.

[John Holmberg]

Anyway, yeah, I was very excited about that. That was a moment. But that rah rah room is awesome. Bert, you're coming with me. All right, now, I will tell you this. On top of it all, Mark and I drank from halftime till they. Well, they closed at 11:45.

[Brett Vesley]

We didn't get home till, like 12:30. And we waymoed home.

[John Holmberg]

So cars stayed. So we. We were down there for four and a half hours. And, you know, I start. I got drinks for Kevin and Kevin's kid Zach and Sophie, and me and Mark and Sophie stay for a second. Draymond. I didn't buy Draymond any drinks. Now, screw the Warriors. The Suns didn't pop in.

[Brett Vesley]

They were. I expected them to.

[John Holmberg]

And at the end, the bill comes. Oh, and our waitress's name was Jaleesa. She's white.

[Brett Vesley]

What?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

I'd have lost that bet.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, me too. When she said her name, I'm like, she's from Seattle.

[Brett Vesley]

So, you know, we're going on and on about this thing.

[John Holmberg]

And the bill comes at the end.

[Brett Vesley]

And we drank $483 worth of. Whoa.

[John Holmberg]

And I turned to Mark and I'm like, that's your fault for straying off the vodka and sodas and starting to do these half caf, double calf martini nonsense. Half dry espresso martinis. Whatever you're drinking was 40 bucks a pop because you wanted to. You want to have this special glass in the special room instead of being a man.

[Brett Vesley]

It was.

[John Holmberg]

And they got a little free candy room. You go over there, just grab as.

[Brett Vesley]

Many M M's as you want.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, and they're in the box. There's no. Like, they know. They're no digging in with it.

[Stebbings]

Looks like Willy Wonka's room.

[John Holmberg]

It does.

[Brett Vesley]

It's very wonk. Oh, it's beautiful. I wish I could take you guys with me, but.

[John Holmberg]

Sorry.

[Brady Bogan]

Gonna make Dale jealous.

[Brett Vesley]

Oh, Dale's. Dale's never going in there. Dale's never going in there. I'll get. I gotta keep it. I gotta keep it looking classic. Yeah. I can't have. I can't have Brady standing outside of.

[John Holmberg]

The Rah Rah room. Come on.

[Brett Vesley]

It was. It's nice.

[Stebbings]

The other John Holmberg will invite me.

[Brett Vesley]

Maybe gotta meet him first. I need to know this guy.

[Stebbings]

He meets me in boombox.

[Brett Vesley]

Oh, if you're standing, you gotta stand outside Postino's.

[Unidentified Guest]

We've been partners for years and you didn't even know in return.

[John Holmberg]

There's a little tiny fat man outside. He's trying to woo me with song.

[Unidentified Guest]

Come out, John Holberg.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. You look very nice. I have to be nice to you. Nice man. But please stop playing this music. It's still in the morning.

[Unidentified Guest]

You got leftovers. I know you do.

[Brett Vesley]

The Rah Rah Rah room. Oh, baby. Oh, baby.

[John Holmberg]

This one says, what if the other John Holmberg is your exact opposite. Small nose, full head of hair, way over six feet and not a Jew.

[Brett Vesley]

Might make me feel kind of bad if he's like sick if he's.

[John Holmberg]

If there's a really super hot John Holmberg out there.

[Brett Vesley]

Like he's a real good looking dude. Got his everything together.

[John Holmberg]

Says the other John Holmberg. Appears really old and lives in Sun City. You may be the only one left.

[Brett Vesley]

He's 98 and this guy just sent me his address. I'm not going over there now.

[John Holmberg]

That dude may have been alive the whole time because he's somebody I used to call and the phone book still came. I would call that John Holbrook, the Sun City one. And that was what, you know, 20 or 30 years ago.

[Stebbings]

There's a new Homburg in town.

[John Holmberg]

This John Holmberg has been old the whole time he was in Sun City then. But again, if it was 30 years ago, it's still.

[Brett Vesley]

He's still 68. So yeah, tick tock on the multiple John Holmbergs in this city, but he's.

[John Holmberg]

Not a Rah rah room guy. 98 year olds, I'd have noticed that.

[Stebbings]

Got the rest of his number.

[Unidentified Guest]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

The other. There may be another John Holmer in the Rah road.

[Stebbings]

And that screen came up.

[Brett Vesley]

For what?

[Stebbings]

And got the cell number.

[John Holmberg]

You know, you got part of it.

[Brett Vesley]

But you didn't got a piece. Yeah, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I don't like the Donovan says. Yeah, it would be the opposite, except for instead of tall, he'd have a small nose, a little head.

[Brett Vesley]

He'd be handsome. He's got a big dick.

[John Holmberg]

Just the opposite of you. Thanks a lot, Donovan. What if it's Dave Pratt pretending to be you and documenting experiences in his book, trying to wreck your reputation?

[Brett Vesley]

That Would be a. I got a.

[John Holmberg]

Pratt's not clever enough to do that.

[Brett Vesley]

That's a good one. If it's. What if it's a guy trying to wreck me?

[John Holmberg]

He just goes around telling people he's.

[Brett Vesley]

John Holbrook, and he just, like, pisses in the middle of the Rah Rah.

[Unidentified Guest]

Room and runs out, my name's John Holmberg.

[Brett Vesley]

And he leaves.

[John Holmberg]

Cancel that membership.

[Brett Vesley]

The Rah Rah Rah room was great. Sons have something down there. Only the classiest people can.

[John Holmberg]

I have to. You know, there's a vetting process to.

[Brett Vesley]

Even be a member. They tell me that they have to.

[John Holmberg]

Have an approval thing, so I have.

[Brett Vesley]

To have an approval to take people. And so far, you two aren't making the cut.

[Brady Bogan]

It could be Beth swinging a big D down there.

[Brett Vesley]

That would be hilarious if Beth said, hey, by the way, I used your name.

[John Holmberg]

Watch this.

[Stebbings]

If Stebbings made it in there, the standards are really low. You're telling us.

[John Holmberg]

I'll tell you right now. Stebbings is a. Stebbings is a name in this town.

[Brett Vesley]

He's.

[John Holmberg]

You know, he's been in the business journal. He's a CEO of something. I'm not sure what he does, but it's something. Guy's got some. He's got some cachet, and he plays the game. Wander your ass in there.

[Unidentified Guest]

Where's the buffet? This isn't worth it. What are you paying for?

[John Holmberg]

Like, I'm out. I'm out.

[Brady Bogan]

Where's the pinwheels.

[Brett Vesley]

And your powder blue tuxedo?

[John Holmberg]

Wander around. I'm not interested in that.

[Brett Vesley]

I got to keep. You got to, you got to.

[Stebbings]

Game's about to start.

[John Holmberg]

Hang on. Embarrass me and my new friend Matt Ishby. I got you wandering around with me. I can't have it, Ramy.

[Brett Vesley]

I would.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, and then you'd bother John. Rom, you gonna finish that?

[Brett Vesley]

Well, I was, but your fork's in it now.

[Unidentified Guest]

I'm just playing anyway. So you got leftovers at the house? Rom, I swing a.

[Brett Vesley]

That's what I need. Brady asking for phone numbers. Next thing you know that John Holmberg's.

[John Holmberg]

Guests are a problem. I gotta.

[Brett Vesley]

You guys have to pick it up a little bit to get into that. So far, Stebbing's just my only friend that gets in.

[John Holmberg]

I'll bring my dad. Maybe Trip.

[Brett Vesley]

I'll drag Trip into the Rah Rah room.

[Brady Bogan]

He's Hopkins.

[John Holmberg]

Hopkins has the pull.

[Brett Vesley]

Yeah, he's a little loud.

[John Holmberg]

I'll bring Hopkins.

[Brett Vesley]

Hopkins can go in. Hopkins is in the wrong art room. Well, that's a tight one though. I'll ask him to wear a hat. Gotta cover up that hair.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, or hairnet.

[Brett Vesley]

I don't really have any other.

[John Holmberg]

I would take Joseph from downstairs.

[Brett Vesley]

Cause he always looks so successful, you know, I can't be hobnobbing around with u tools. They'll put us in the kitchen.

[Brady Bogan]

Probably horror or something down there.

[Brett Vesley]

Oh, Dave Hart can't get in now.

[John Holmberg]

He's got his.

[Brett Vesley]

He's molting his hair's. It's in transition.

[Stebbings]

Leave a patch there.

[John Holmberg]

It's all.

[Brett Vesley]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And then Har's gonna have hair all over the food. No, it'll be because of us.

[Brett Vesley]

Because I don't know what's going on.

[John Holmberg]

He's losing it and keeping it at the same time.

[Brett Vesley]

What's that, Ed? Ed can't go. Ed can't go.

[John Holmberg]

No. Nobody downstairs can go with me, female or male.

[Brett Vesley]

Not a one of them.

[John Holmberg]

Yep, none of them.

[Brett Vesley]

I can't take anybody in the building except maybe Joseph. That's it. Gosh, that's. That's.

[John Holmberg]

Sorry, guys.

[Brett Vesley]

That's too bad. I mean, I don't fit in down there at all.

[Radio Station Announcer]

Merry effing holidays from the Big Red radio. Homburg's morning sickness.

[John Holmberg]

And then there was a moment where somebody came in my favorite part of the Rah Rah room Saturday night. Somebody came in with a child on their shoulders. And there was an audible groan. Ah. The whole crew's like, they allow those in here. Ruined Was ruined. Kids were behaved though. I'll give them that.

[Brett Vesley]

And here's the other thing about the rah rah room.

[John Holmberg]

You're gonna start seeing some stuff because the ladies in the rah rah room don't realize what it is yet. So the ones that came prepared, it was.

[Brett Vesley]

They were decked out. Wasn't Sun's game attire. They were, you know, Phoenix Open type thing.

[John Holmberg]

Yes, very much Phoenix Open. It's gonna turn into that. And so then you started to see the girls that were just in sons.

[Brett Vesley]

T shirts and jeans, like, oh, I can't come in here like this anymore.

[John Holmberg]

Every time you get in that place.

[Brett Vesley]

It'S gonna get a little bit more competitive. There's going to be a fight in the Rah Rah.

[Brady Bogan]

How much Tommy Bahamas going on in there?

[John Holmberg]

Surprisingly not much, really.

[Unidentified Guest]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

There was. There was not much douchebaggery, to be honest with you.

[Brady Bogan]

I figured it'd be people in there talking about, you know, cigars and bourbon.

[John Holmberg]

There's Some of that. There's some of that somewhere. I didn't.

[Brett Vesley]

We avoided it, okay?

[John Holmberg]

Mark and I had the Nikes popping.

[Stebbings]

All over the place.

[John Holmberg]

You're going to have.

[Brett Vesley]

You're gonna have some special people.

[Stebbings]

Rare.

[John Holmberg]

It's a good looking group.

[Stebbings]

Nikes.

[John Holmberg]

I'll tell you this. If there's anybody. Look, everybody in the Rah Rah Room.

[Brett Vesley]

Would be treating me the way I'm treating you guys. They'd be like, we're not inviting you, but I happen to get in. Now. I can't take you guys. I have to take people that look classy.

[John Holmberg]

For instance, as we walked in, the guy saw Mark and thought, well, he's clearly the member.

[Brett Vesley]

And they fawned all over him.

[John Holmberg]

I'm a schlub.

[Brett Vesley]

I look like a schlub. I act like a schlub. There's no reason for me to have gone in there.

[John Holmberg]

So they, you know, they look at us.

[Brett Vesley]

We're getting escorted right out. We're getting the velvet rope to the other side of the room.

[Brady Bogan]

Excuse me, sir.

[Brett Vesley]

You should be at the Boom Boom.

[John Holmberg]

Room, not at the Rah Rah Room. And I told Mark on the way.

[Brett Vesley]

Back, I'm gonna get this waymo to stop at the Boom Boom Room. 16th to McDowell.

[John Holmberg]

We did the Rah Rah Room and the Boom Boom Room in the same night.

[Brady Bogan]

Legendary.

[John Holmberg]

And I could have gone into the Boom Boom Room and said, well, my friend Draymond Green, who I was just talking to a second ago, he told me that he loves the Boom Boom Room and he might show up a little bit. You want me to call him?

[Brett Vesley]

You know Draymond?

[Unidentified Guest]

Do I know Draymond? I just talked to him.

[John Holmberg]

The Boom Boom Room. You silly, silly people.

[Brett Vesley]

I let him in here. I think that guy might know Draymond.

[Unidentified Guest]

Dude.

[John Holmberg]

Can you call Draymond? Oh, it's midnight. What's wrong with you? You're right.

[Stebbings]

It's too early.

[John Holmberg]

Wonder if there's a membership to the Boom Boom Room.

[Brett Vesley]

I don't know.

[Stebbings]

There might be a VIP lounge.

[John Holmberg]

What if the other John Holmberg is Mr. Orange? We never learned his name. It's in there in the public file when he went to jail for touching people.

[Brett Vesley]

Good point.

[John Holmberg]

Pretty awesome, though.

[Brett Vesley]

I enjoyed that.

[John Holmberg]

So, sons, Matt Espia.

[Brett Vesley]

Tip of the cap. That is a pretty cool place.

[John Holmberg]

Pretty cool place.

[Stebbings]

You'll be spending some time there.

[John Holmberg]

I'll tell you this. I'm not watching any more basketball.

[Brett Vesley]

Those season tickets for sale?

[John Holmberg]

Those are done. They have TVs in there. Brady. I've never seen this in my life. The suns were on. We're watching the game on the TVs.

[Brett Vesley]

They're.

[John Holmberg]

They're not like. It's not like Sports Bar. They're up on the wall when the game was over.

[Brett Vesley]

Mirrors.

[John Holmberg]

Cool. I've never seen anything like it. And they were mirrors that weren't like bad mirrors. They were really good mirrors, framed. If you walked in there, you'd never know. And when that thing comes on, you're like, what just happened? I haven't seen that before. And then all the TVs turn into mirrors or pictures of Frank Sinatra, and.

[Brett Vesley]

They look like art. It was the neatest thing I've ever seen.

[John Holmberg]

I really.

[Brett Vesley]

I enjoyed my time in the Rah room. I mean, it's such a shame I can't take you guys. You're such rubes. I'm sure Tripp's gonna tell you all about it. Cause he. It'll be great. I'm going to ask him to wear a sailing cap, though. Trip will probably know half the people in there.

[Unidentified Guest]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

He's going to walk in looking like the captain from Captain Tenille.

[John Holmberg]

Yep. Mr. Reeb, please. By all means. Yeah. Move, Admiral. Out of the way. Rom. Table belongs to me.

[Brett Vesley]

Yeah, it was pretty awesome. Admiral Reeb, welcome.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Move. Where's the other John Holmberg?

[Brett Vesley]

I got a bone to pick.

[John Holmberg]

So if you guys happen to know the other John Holmberg, He's.

[Brett Vesley]

He's like, wanna buy him drink?

[John Holmberg]

I hate to say it, but he's like the lady button of John Holmberg's.

[Brett Vesley]

He. I can't find him. Guy is elusive.

[John Holmberg]

He's avoided me for all these years. I would like to buy the other John Holmberg a beverage. Just say, from one John Holmberg to.

[Brett Vesley]

Another, here's the good friend tonight is Goddess Pet.

[John Holmberg]

Please go away. You got it.

[Brett Vesley]

John Holmberg.

[John Holmberg]

It's not like my name's Smith or something. I've never met another me.

[Brett Vesley]

Be great.

[Stebbings]

I'm the road manager for 311.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no. Oh, no. Damn it. Yeah.

[Brett Vesley]

Yeah. I know people changed my height and I'm getting that too. Like everybody, when you Google search me, somebody changed my height to 5:9, which is hilarious. But.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not, so. I'm not so small to go in.

[Brett Vesley]

And change that back. I find that to be hysterical.

[John Holmberg]

Plus, you're setting a bar so low, it's like, yeah, Internet said you were five, nine. You're clearly six feet tall.

[Brady Bogan]

They want to know if it's the other John Holmberg that Had the painting business and the party planning thing and everything else.

[Brett Vesley]

IRS nightmare. I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, the stolen identity guy.

[Unidentified Guest]

What if it's that?

[John Holmberg]

What if I unleashed what unlocked a crime?

[Brett Vesley]

Either way, I didn't get double charged. I'd have noticed that.

[John Holmberg]

Trust me, they would have noticed that when it all got declined the second time.

[Brett Vesley]

Stevie Cooper.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Be great. So much potential. These John Holmergs, they don't grow on trees. It's not like we're popping up all over the place. My name's also John H. It's not like I'm Brad smith.

[Brett Vesley]

You meet 20 of those in your.

[John Holmberg]

Life, you probably never met another David Brady Bogan.

[Brett Vesley]

You wouldn't know a David Bogan or a Brady Bogan.

[John Holmberg]

You've got two chances. You've never met a Brett Vesley? No. See, you'd be excited if you saw. Yeah, Dick Toledo hasn't even met Dick Toledo senior. I mean it's a pretty. No, this is. The odds of another John Homberg that's good looking are the same odds as.

[Brett Vesley]

Me having a big dick.

[John Holmberg]

What, you think the name is genetically flawed? You think that? Just cuz I didn't come out so great. The name screwed up all other John Holberg. Screw you. Says I like how it's only Brett.

[Brett Vesley]

And Brady you're considering to not take to the robbery room. You haven't even mentioned Toledo.

[John Holmberg]

We all know why that is.

[Brett Vesley]

Going to a rah rah room with Toledo, it's absurd.

[John Holmberg]

He'd start walking around with a hat asking for change so his son can have an apartment. That scene from Cinderella man when he had to go back into the club.

[Brett Vesley]

And beg for money for rent.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not bringing Toledo in there. Toledo gets a couple pops and next thing you know he's in a fight with Draymond Green because he's leaning on him. And you know what you'll play to.

[Stebbings]

Walk around with a hat on with the press tag inside.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it fit in in that room.

[Brett Vesley]

Pretty cool.

[John Holmberg]

There's a few listeners out there I would consider and that one of them he's already in. And then you know, a couple other.

[Brett Vesley]

People I'd consider, but you guys are down.

[John Holmberg]

They're low on the list.

[Brady Bogan]

You got David Vasquez will sure be right there with you.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not taking David. I wouldn't take David Vasquez in the Boom Boom room.

[Brett Vesley]

Yeah, you guys can't get in bad. It's really bad. I got. I got class up my friend group.

[John Holmberg]

How do we upgrade? I Don't think you can.

[Brett Vesley]

I'm going to be honest with you, pretty much set in stone the way it is. It's the.

[John Holmberg]

The D's been cast.

[Brady Bogan]

We're stuck with the rah Rah room.

[Brett Vesley]

No, no, you're stuck with the boom boom room. I was going to say you're going.

[John Holmberg]

Be stuck there if you want.

[Brett Vesley]

You're going to be cleaning it. We apply for a job, I don't think weekends. I looked at the staff. I'm not. Not thinking of getting in there either. Not in front of house. Not in front. For sure. Not front of. Not gonna happen.

[Unidentified Guest]

Candy man.

[Brett Vesley]

No, they don't need a person for that. It's all free. It's. There's just.

[John Holmberg]

I went in there, it was like it was 1930. And I'm like, there's a room of candy. And she goes, yep. And it's all in boxes. All the candy you could ever imagine. And then there's a old time movie, popcorn machine. And the girl turned to me and I swear it was like a 1940s movie. And she goes, anything you want.

[Unidentified Guest]

And the drawers are filled with soda.

[John Holmberg]

And I'm like, look at this. And I open all these refrigerated drawers and there's coke and non alcoholic beverages all through. I'm like, this is great. And she goes, and in 15 minutes I'm gonna pop some fresh corn. And she walked out of the room.

[Unidentified Guest]

And I'm like, nobody talks like this. Where am I? I'm in heaven.

[John Holmberg]

Nobody pops fresh corn. You don't say that.

[Brett Vesley]

Then it was great.

[Stebbings]

There's a pharmacist back there making the Soda.

[John Holmberg]

Sarsaparilla?

[Unidentified Guest]

Sure.

[John Holmberg]

$44, please. Worth it. No, the drawers of soda were like, oh, it's great. Anyway, I had an experience I'm just.

[Brett Vesley]

Sharing with you and I just happened to share it with another guy.

[Stebbings]

When you going back?

[Brett Vesley]

Next Tuesday, Tomorrow night.

[John Holmberg]

Stevin, you taking a guess going, yeah.

[Brett Vesley]

He'S got the bank ticket, so we're.

[John Holmberg]

Gonna be on the floor. I might roll my friend Colin out because he's a.

[Brett Vesley]

He's one of those college boys, you.

[John Holmberg]

Know, he's an academic working over there at asu.

[Brett Vesley]

He's kind of a big wig over there. I can take him.

[John Holmberg]

He'll.

[Brett Vesley]

He won't embarrass me. Not like you two. And again, you're right, listeners. I mean, listening to Toledo.

[John Holmberg]

And I know I'll get emails. Hey, you sound pretty hoity toity and high in my. Yeah, I know.

[Brett Vesley]

I spent a lot. I'M not bringing these guys. You know who to invite and who not to invite when you're in a room. I can't take them.

[John Holmberg]

Brady. A little more than Brett.

[Brett Vesley]

Brett scares me.

[John Holmberg]

Brett would fit in the room better. In fact, they might actually. You would work there. You could front a house.

[Brett Vesley]

The Rah Rah room. Cause you look the part.

[John Holmberg]

It's like an Italian mob restaurant. It's awesome. I haven't eaten there yet, but I.

[Brett Vesley]

Will and I'll let you know.

[John Holmberg]

And at the end of the game, they're coming by. Is you. Like some.

[Brett Vesley]

I don't even know what they call them. They were meatballs on a tray that.

[John Holmberg]

Had like parmesan and porcini.

[Brett Vesley]

What is that?

[Brady Bogan]

I don't know.

[Stebbings]

Did you eat it?

[John Holmberg]

You think it's a meatball and it.

[Brett Vesley]

Just blows up with cheese and flavor.

[John Holmberg]

And then the shrimp came by. She's like, these are good. They dip this into that.

[Brett Vesley]

I'm like, I can do all this.

[John Holmberg]

And none of it is just. It's all on plates. None of it's just like grabbing like.

[Brett Vesley]

Some sort of hillbilly festival that you guys would go to. Stuff for me and John Holmberg, too.

[Brady Bogan]

Is it like the scene in Goodfellas where they're going through the kitchen and all that kind of stuff? And it's like that secret entrance.

[Brett Vesley]

It's incredibly like that.

[John Holmberg]

It's Durant's only new.

[Brett Vesley]

Oh, wow. It's so cool. Just wish you could all get in, but.

[John Holmberg]

Sorry.

[Brett Vesley]

Well, and don't ask because it'll just be embarrassing. Yeah. Dale was trying to get in there.

[John Holmberg]

Last week and I'm like, yeah, let.

[Brett Vesley]

Me take a look at it first and see. He's not going with me ever. He just looks. He doesn't look the part. You gotta, you know, look. You'll just embarrass me.

[John Holmberg]

And he's.

[Brett Vesley]

Plus he sticks up.

[John Holmberg]

It's like bringing an ogre in there.

[Brett Vesley]

It can't do.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe on a non son's night.

[Brett Vesley]

But I don't see it, so stop staring at me.

[Stebbings]

Who want snails and spider webs?

[Brett Vesley]

Started eating out of his shire.

[John Holmberg]

I go back to the swamp.

[Brett Vesley]

Dale, you can't come with.

[John Holmberg]

I like to go to the Rah Rah Ru. No. Maybe if you dressed up Toledo like a make a Wish kid.

[Brett Vesley]

You can. I don't think they're allowed in there. I don't think they'll have handicapped caps in. I'm pretty sure it's just for able bodied.

[John Holmberg]

You're doing that.

[Brady Bogan]

You might as well, bring Alec and Caleb. Bring the real deal, you know.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, at least they're celebrity cripples.

[Brett Vesley]

Yeah, I'll take a celebrity cripple in.

[John Holmberg]

But I'm not taking and not blankets.

[Brady Bogan]

While they're walking around and stuff.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not dragging Toledo in a wheelchair.

[Brett Vesley]

Making one, but I got to meet that other John Holmer.

[John Holmberg]

Very exciting.

[Brett Vesley]

The Rah Rah. It's been on my mind since we left and I'll be back again tomorrow.

[John Holmberg]

And I probably won't watch any more.

[Brett Vesley]

Suns game, so don't ask me how they're doing because it's too tempting.

[John Holmberg]

I'm also gonna go broke in there. I'm the poorest one in there.

[Brett Vesley]

There's no question in my mind. I'm the poorest guy in there.

[John Holmberg]

The dude I was standing next to has four and a half billion dollars invested in the team and he's not broke.

[Stebbings]

So it's one of his investments.

[John Holmberg]

Right. He has more than four and a half billion dollars. I know for sure because that's what he had to spend to buy the sons. And there he was chatting away with us. And then the dude sitting next to him won more money in a golf.

[Brett Vesley]

Tournament than I'll see in my entire life. And he's won several of those tournaments.

[John Holmberg]

So it was. I'm most definitely the poorest one.

[Brett Vesley]

Yeah.

[Stebbings]

Join one.

[John Holmberg]

Most definitely the poorest one in there.

[Brett Vesley]

But I'm still in there. But I am the most. I am. I am the neediest.

[John Holmberg]

Except for maybe Sophie Cunningham, and she's got that WNBA salary. I know I'm. I know I'm. I know I got herpes.

[Brady Bogan]

So she gets a discount or something.

[John Holmberg]

She's got to, you know, she's the face. And the other thing I noticed is that Caitlin Clark was at the game Saturday, not in the Rah Rah room. And I'd have figured that they'd have tried paraded her around a little bit. They didn't.

[Brett Vesley]

But Sophie was in there. She's just fantastic. She's the face of the Mercury. Because the other faces.

[John Holmberg]

I'm a little worried bringing my dad in there.

[Brett Vesley]

Although he's. He's got.

[John Holmberg]

He.

[Stebbings]

Where's that cowboy hat and stuff?

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, if he dresses up like.

[Brett Vesley]

A hillbilly or a. I'll talk to him. I'll set that up. Hey, dad, no uniforms, okay?

[John Holmberg]

What are you talking about?

[Brett Vesley]

That's how I.

[Stebbings]

Don't embarrass me.

[Brady Bogan]

No spurs in the Rah Rah.

[John Holmberg]

Go to the Rah Rah room.

[Brett Vesley]

Dressed up?

[Stebbings]

Are you kidding me? You're asking me to not embarrass you.

[Brady Bogan]

Wearing his duster and everything.

[Brett Vesley]

And I'll ask you to leave. You know I cut family off when it. You know how I'll do it if.

[John Holmberg]

I wear a cowboy hat?

[Brett Vesley]

You're not wearing a uniform or a costume. Just dress like a goddamn human being. We're gonna meet the other John Holmberg.

[John Holmberg]

And you might like him better. You know, you might. You might get to upgrade. Hell, I might like him better.

[Brett Vesley]

Pretty neat. Yeah. Sorry to Toledo though. He's. He's not even if the.

[John Holmberg]

If the list of people to take.

[Brett Vesley]

Was in front of me, Toledo would be on the last page and it would look like a Manhattan phone book.

[John Holmberg]

I would scroll through a lot of.

[Brett Vesley]

Folks and I like Toledo, but I can't have him in public. That's embarrassing.
