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. And. And all you have to do is trust the experts at the Core Institute head there right now.

Brett Besley
You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself.
Brady Bogan
He's evil. Sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. 98 to you, PT that's a lot of cock. Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Wednesday. It is the morning sickness. Hi there. How are you? It's 5:45. My name's John Holmberg. There's Brady Bogan. There's Brett Besley. Somewhere around here is big Dick Toledo. We're ready to go. Glorious Wednesday to start off our first week of 2025. And off we run with just talking about that fire in Los Angeles. And it is a Pacific Palisades where our big boss man has a house out there. And he's. Yeah, it's crazy. So I talked to him yesterday a little bit and there everybody he knows in that area that he lived in evacuated out.
Big Dick Toledo
Man.
Brady Bogan
But I mean, that's just horrifying. I saw. I was watching the news last night that Pacific Palisades area would be like if Mummy Mountain was on fire. That's we're not joking around with like, you know, track homes here. These are high end, this is a high end area here. And they're knocking down some beautiful places. But it is, it's scary. It's. And it's not like you think of a forest fire, like, oh, that's up by pace. And all those poor people have been show low. It's like, no, this is Malibu's here, Santa Monica's here, and in between is Pacific Palisades. And it is, it's beautiful and it's, it's a, there's a lot of people there. There's, it's not like gaps or acreage and like it's just congested Los Angeles up on the hill. And it is, I mean it was crazy. I was watching last night and they had one of the news reporters at Will Rogers beach and she's little talking to a fire chief and the wind would blow and you could tell the microphones doing that thing. And she starts like falling backwards. And I'm like, oh, these reporters, they'll stop at nothing to make it look like things are ten times worse. And the fire guy grabs her and kind of pulls her towards him. And he looks like. And I'm like, come on. If he's not moving, you're. Then he goes over. Oh man. I'm like, okay, maybe there's, maybe something to this. It was 100 mile an hour wind.
Big Dick Toledo
It's like a Looney Tunes thing.
Brady Bogan
Like it got her. And as he grabbed and started to pull her back in, he started to stumble toward like, well, like, oh my God, that's legitimate. Because I thought the news lady was milking it a little. You know, her hair wasn't even whipping that bad, but it was moving.
Unknown
So the other reporter that's gone viral is the one interviewing Steve Gutenberg.
Brady Bogan
Oh yeah.
Unknown
Didn't know he was until the ear piece. So you're an actor.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. You're talking to a dude from Police Academy. Right. And I forgive anybody doesn't know who.
Unknown
The goot is, but he was, was.
Big Dick Toledo
A few years, was very concerned.
Unknown
He was like, will you tell the people in the neighborhood if they're listening right now, leave the keys in your car so we can move them because.
Brady Bogan
People can't get out because they had trapped them. So they're bulldozing cars out of the streets because they can't move. So in Los Angeles, I'll tell you right now, in Los Angeles, nobody's taking Steve Gutenberg's advice. First of all, anytime. Second, leave your keys in Your car in la. Not happening.
Big Dick Toledo
Does he live in that area then?
Unknown
Is that a must?
Brady Bogan
That's a Police Academy.
Big Dick Toledo
10 now. Unbelievable.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. When the insurance company won't pay for his house, we're going to get Short circuit three. Number five's alive again. And then that reporter will be like, he was an actor, the Goot. Yeah, I. And people were. I saw that last night. Like, he didn't even know Steve Gutenberg's an actor. And I'm like, I didn't even know Steve Gutenberg was still alive. Don't. Don't give anybody under the age of 40 any grief for not knowing who Steve Gutenberg is. He's never done anything that great in the first place.
Big Dick Toledo
If you're in Cocoon, I don't remember if you're still alive or not.
Brady Bogan
Right. Wilfred Young, you was Jessica Tandy in that. That might have been. Batteries not included. I. You're probably dead or forgotten. Yeah, I don't remember any of that. But, yeah, the Goot gets. They're like, geez, this reporter. I'm like, no, no, no. Not the reporter's fault. Gutenberg's career's fault for disappearing in 1989. But I just remember we used to play that game Guccoise, because it was just fun to say and to guess if it was Gutenberg, William Shatner or Patrick Swaz. And the one that I would have guessed if you asked me today, only because I know it's like, which one is for sure still alive. I'm like, Shatner. Otherwise, I know Swayze is dead and I'm not sure about Gutenberg. I remember he got all jacked, muscular, like crazy, steroid big for a minute, and then went away again.
Unknown
So might have popped up on a Sharknado movie.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, yeah. But again, wasn't even memorable in Sharknado, to the point where, like. Well, you know, Gutenberg's in that. People are like, yeah, that's a. I endearing. And that's all I remember from that. I know some other guys.
Big Dick Toledo
Tara Reid, right.
Brady Bogan
She was in the first couple. Yeah. It's crazy, man, that. That fire evacuation is a big deal, though. And they're. They're moving folks quick. It is. It's. Yeah. When it's on the TV and you're like, oh, some city's on fire or something. But when it's la, you're like, holy cow, this is a highly populated area. And then they're moving people to Brentwood, and everybody knows Brentwood from O.J. simpson's Run, you know, that's that, that's where they're saying the embers are floating. That's, you know, a couple miles away. And you're like, geez, there Brentwood goes out. There's the Goot on the TV right there.
Big Dick Toledo
No, it's not a video.
Brady Bogan
It's just a picture.
Big Dick Toledo
I wouldn't recognize demeanor, though.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, no, I wouldn't have known that. Steve Gutenberg looks like some dude. Yeah, it's just some guy whose house might be on fire yelling at the news. I, I would have. And I'm aware of the Goot. I knew the Goot so well. I actually saw Short Circuit 2. I don't even know if you're the one in that. I just remembered liking the first one because Johnny five was funny. The little Indian man that was married to Michelle Pfeiffer.
Big Dick Toledo
Was he?
Brady Bogan
Yeah, Fisher Stevens.
Big Dick Toledo
Nice score.
Brady Bogan
That was when he was. When she was hot. The Indian who ended up being on Succession here. And he looks, he looks painfully ill. But like when she was at her peak, the little fake Indian from Short Circuit was married to her. What? Wow. Google Fisher Stevens and the 1980s Michelle Pfeiffer and tell me.
Unknown
It just says jackpot.
Brady Bogan
First off, there's somewhere in one of those pictures, if you look close enough, there's a genie and he's just smiling and giving a thumbs up to Fisher Stevens. That was one of. That's one of Hollywood's biggest wins that, that tops. When Lyle Lovett was banging Julia Roberts after Pretty Woman. Like, wait a minute, what?
Unknown
The head scratch.
Brady Bogan
That was the big. And then, then you read stories that were like, Lyle Lovett had his pants specially made because his dong was so big.
Big Dick Toledo
He was the original Pete Davidson.
Brady Bogan
He was. He was exactly that. Because then they showed a lawn. Look at that picture of Michelle pfeiffer from the 80s. It didn't get better than that. Not even close. Scarface, Michelle Pfeiffer, Grease 2. Michelle Pfeiffer. Oh, my. And then she picks up on this 107 pound. It would be like if Larry walked in here with Dua Lipa. She banged Alan Alda.
Big Dick Toledo
I don't know.
Brady Bogan
I had to get a piece of that pie. That was good stuff. There he is. There's Fisher Stevens and that's him looking adult and stuff. He's not as bad now.
Big Dick Toledo
There you go.
Brady Bogan
But there he is. Back in the day, I remember I learned.
Unknown
Wow.
Brady Bogan
I learned that my hero, he went on David Letterman's show and said, would you like to tell the world who you're Dating. First question. Would you like to tell the world who you're dating? Because I just found out. And he goes, well, I mean, it's. Is it important? He goes, it's Michelle Pfeiffer. And, like, Dave was shocked. Like, I can't. Like, this is amazing. And, yeah, so Larry did. Yeah, Larry did. Larry runs in and goes, guys, by the way, is my girlfriend, Dua. And we're like, we know who she is. How did you do this? Where's your genie? Where's the lamp?
Big Dick Toledo
He had to have his pants specially made, too, apparently.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, yeah. Oh, Fisher Stevens. That's not a leg. That dude's an amputee. Just walks around on his dong. It's pretty impressive. So, yeah, you know, if that's the other thing. If you interviewed Fisher Stevens about the house fire, not many people would know Succession. You'd kind of look at him and go, are you a little Indian guy from Succession or are you Kevin from Discover Car? One of the two. But he's not even. He was culturally appropriating in short circuit. Wouldn't even be allowed to do it today.
Unknown
Eliminated.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, couldn't do it. You'd have to have Hollywood. No, you can't do it. That's just. You're wandering around doing the one. I am the only one in the world who can do this accident. No, that's terrible stuff. Can't do it. I was watching the story last night again. My new life of no alarm clock. Still had the alarm. Just in case. I'm still in the infancy of my new program. 2025 program of all night long. Do the show. Bedtime is after the show. No more alarm clocks in 2025 is the goal. And it's going very, very well. I watched. But here's what I. Here's what I discovered I can't do. Because coming into the show, you need a break if you're gonna, you know, veg out on something stupid before. And I started watching Lockerbie on Peacock about the Lockerbie air disaster in the late 80s, which I knew a little about from watching a lot of air disaster TV shows. That is one of the more depressing things to throw in front of yourself and then go, I gotta get to work in an hour. You can't. That's when you were doing overnights and stuff. You probably watched a lot of things. You're like, oh, this hasn't set much of a mood as I leave the room. No, no, really, you need, like a sleep break or some sort of a buffer a little. Sorbet of life and napping and maybe a dream and then kind of forgetting. You watched Lockerbie right before those 3.
Big Dick Toledo
O'Clock sideshow movies were not good. I mean it's time at three in the morning.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. You find yourself watching a lot of weird stuff but it's, it's more entertaining. So far so good. And as a grown man, alarm clocks are for, are baby stuff like it's for babies for me because I'm not a person who likes getting up in the morning. This is the end of the day for me now and it's working out beautifully. I really enjoy that. Otherwise I'm just crossing my arms like a six year old. I don't want to go to bed. I got to take a shower and then sleepy time. No, do it whenever I want. I took a shower last night about three. You know what? I'm going to pop up, get a shower now. Feel pretty good about myself. It's great. It's just great. A little too windy last night for a bike ride. So it's going very well. But while I was watching there was a show on BBC did a on their news. I like their news a lot and they did a thing about. I forgot what generation they call it the new one. There's Gen Z. And then the thing behind it has a name too and I forgot what it was. Do you know how they always do that study of like every few years or I guess every year they're like humans biggest fears usually is somewhere, somewhere in there is death and then the next one is public speaking. Like it's always up there. Our biggest fears in life and public speaking for years was hysterically number one. Death was second. And that was almost always a universal part of the study is like you know, being caught naked, you know, and then, and then you start getting into robberies like real threats and things like that. But number one has, has oftentimes been the silly public speaking. People are truly anxious and scared of it. The newest generation coming up, public speaking is now like, like in the seventh or eighth it's dropped pretty far because they never have to do it. And also they're very big on presenting themselves so they kind of like Instagram and stuff has kind of killed that. So you're like, oh, that's nice. That finally that irrational fear of public speaking has disappeared and death is in its proper place. You know what's ahead of death for that generation that gives them more anxiety and fear? Phone calls. Phone calls. No Internet was forced. Okay, no Internet. No Internet was fourth yeah. Phone calls put a fear in them that makes them feel scared.
Big Dick Toledo
Better tell Hopkins out so he doesn't keep coming.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, I know. And I'm like, Doug's gotta be careful that he makes a phone call to somebody in that generation and they end up hanging themselves. And it isn't a surprising phone call. It's having to make a phone call. You know, when you're like, oh, I gotta call this person. Like, this is. This is beyond text. Like when you have to make a call when you're actually. Or you're going to receive a call. Right. It brings them anxiety that they did scientific studies and, you know, stuck things on their heads and measured brainwaves that were akin to being robbed. Same exact dopamine and anxiety release in their brain. Was the same thing for somebody saying, all right, how about this? You're going to receive a phone call from a managerial position. You know, this and that. You have to. You have to be on the phone with this stranger or this person of authority for the next 10 or 15 minutes. And their brains reacted like they were about to get stabbed like that. It was a. It was a legitimate fear. And then they said, rank this on a scale of 1 to 7, 1 to 10, 1 to 12. And they'd be like, oh, that's definitely heights. It was number one. It wasn't even up there. Death, like the idea and chat of death they could manage.
Unknown
They're avoiding that, though, right? That's why it's Hallberg's morning sickness.
Brady Bogan
Morning sickness.

Brady Bogan
Two Holmberg's morning sickness. They could manage death. Like the talk, the understanding, the, you know, concept. It didn't scare them. They don't want to die. It was still in there. No. Internet also did that. And then the other thing that they always do in these tests, which I find fascinating, is take their phone away and then have it ding. I watched them do this with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes a few years ago, and they were measuring his anxiety level. Same similar type of test where they're asking you questions, but they're really doing another thing to make you. And they took Anderson Cooper's phone away and turned it on. And then somebody would randomly text on purpose. Anderson's phone. And it was sitting close, but he couldn't get to it. And he's in the chair and they're like, all right, let's talk about, like, obviously public speaking is not an issue for you. That's not going to be a thing. So let's talk about the things that's in ding ding. And his levels would just go through the roof. Like, I'm missing a text. Missing text, missing Internet. Those things. Those are new fears that are coming up.
Unknown
No, although it seems like, like I noticed Kirby handles it pretty good. She has. It dings like crazy. But it's all on, you know, a group chat.
Brady Bogan
Sure.
Unknown
So a lot of times she just lets that out, which I, I couldn't.
Brady Bogan
It's like going, no, no. If the phone dings, I look at it. And that was the thing that they did in that thing too, also. And this was true when they did that with like, people in their 40s are more concerned about that than younger people because they'll just get to it. That to that to them is like when we used to miss a phone call and we'll call you back. A ding that they're like, I'll get to you in a little while. But right now, people in their 40s are the ones 40 and above are like, oh, if I don't get, I got to have that, I'll forget. They get. And that's why Facebook was more dangerous to people over the age of 40 than it was people 20. And that's why everybody screams out, oh, the Internet is just destroying our kids. No, it's not. That's all they know. It's Making you feel uncomfortable because you didn't grow up with it. So you can't conceive of a world where that's raising you. And so you look at it like all these kids in this Internet, they're fine with it. You're the one uncomfortable with it. It's new to you. It's always been in their life. So you're adapting. They're not. And that was the thing. And so fear and people in their 50s and stuff, the fear of their. The Internet going out has now gotten into the top five. That was in every category except for, like, 70 plus. And you're a great study.
Unknown
You're taught to respond, to answer that.
Brady Bogan
Well, sure. Yeah. Or you're rude.
Unknown
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Or. And you feel like you're missing something. It's crazy. And then Brett found those AI songs yesterday. And that Skynet Man I listened to, if you haven't done it yet, Brett found Accidentally.
Big Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Because his algorithm includes racial slurs. Well, no, because you find them hysterical. We all have to admit. What, that the Internet is low. In fact, Facebook just did a thing. I was watching CNN yesterday. Facebook did a thing where they're no longer gonna censor. I couldn't stop laughing. I'm gonna tell you exactly why. They had a panel on a committee on CNN yesterday talking about how Facebook is no longer gonna censor certain things.
Unknown
One, and they admitted they were overseas.
Brady Bogan
Oh, yeah. No. Well, it wasn't even admission. It was basically saying, these things are banned from Facebook. And they're like, well, is that a free speech issue? Some of the things that were banned. Calling women household objects. That's now free. You can do that all you want. Facebook won't throw a flag on it. Certain groups of people being called farm equipment. And CNN's discussing this yesterday, and I'm laughing hysterically, like, guys, stop. Like, you're making it worse. The Internet doesn't have emotions. CNN telling people you're now allowed to use these slurs again is going to make that happen. It's not gonna make people go, this is terrible. It's gonna make them go, wait a minute. I can call a woman. Household equipment again. I'm doing it.
Big Dick Toledo
Yeah, the old dishwasher over there.
Brady Bogan
Exactly. And the lady at the end's like, I just don't even know why anybody would want to do that. And I'm like, step aside, sister. Hold this for a second. I can show you 20 people in my life that will not do it, but we'll pass on who is doing it to me, and we'll all go, oh, my God. Because the absurdity of that is out there. So. Yeah. So Brett has something on your computer says you like these things. And this was. This was. Trust me, I do too. I'm not gonna lie about it. I've got it too. The song that came up on there was a hilarious 1960s soul song that AI had recreated as a modern day thing about. And it's a. I forget who the rapper is. Has a song called I'm Gonna Slap Slap. A N Word is what the title of the song's called. This was. If you did it in a 1960s soul version. And it's hysterical. Then we stumbled across almost vinyl, which is AI is writing albums in the style of 1960s, 70s and even 80s stuff. But like the Beach Boys, old 40s songs. And they're just. Yeah. And there is soul. Anything like that. And they're redoing it. And I mean, the one.
Unknown
No, it's.
Brady Bogan
You wouldn't know it all. And the worst part is that the songs are great. They're modernized. There's a lot of cussing in them, which makes it seem even funnier because they would have never done that in 1950s and 60s soul songs. And then the one I liked the most was Ugly Baby, where a guy just sings about in a soulful way how he went over to his friend's house and saw their newborn and it's an. It's an ugly baby. And then the background singers are making jokes and I'm like, if AI did subtle jokes in the background, we're done. If it starts understanding the nuance of comedy and can do it in 10 or 15 seconds, we're toast.
Big Dick Toledo
Like that song effort. I'll start again tomorrow or something. Or try again tomorrow.
Brady Bogan
It's a great song.
Big Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Not only is it funny, it's a great song. F this day, we'll try again tomorrow. AI wrote. And the other one, the Beach Boys songs, which are just basically, if the Beach Boys had some trouble swimming, like if they weren't very strong swimmers and all the beach parties they'd go to, deep down, they had these fears that if they get in the water, they might die and all. Oh, they're so good. AI is the thing we should be afraid of. Not phone calls. Although I do get a little anxiety when my phone rings. I have to admit that when Hopkins face pops up on my screen, I'm like, oh, boy. Because the only reason my phone should ring is death. Somebody's in big trouble. There's a death. Or you know you're coming over or something and you're asking me like. And I knew it. Like, I should look and go, oh, something must. It's almost always something must go wrong. My phone only rings, and that's why I have anxiety if something's going badly.
Big Dick Toledo
I think we've known each other 20 something years now, and we talked on the phone like four times. I think maybe. Maybe four.
Brady Bogan
Four would be a. Under. Over that. I would be like, you're probably right on the money. If you went four, five, four and a half. I might take the under.
Big Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Might just. But, yeah, we'll never know. But I don't think I've talked to you on the phone. Maybe during your first couple days of your divorce.
Big Dick Toledo
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. Trying to figure out where you were going to end up. But I don't even know if we called each other.
Big Dick Toledo
No, I think we were. I think maybe once. And then I know two. My mom passed here with Brett, that you called him.
Unknown
Yeah.
Big Dick Toledo
But I wake up.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. Are you waking him up? Yeah, he didn't answer. He's scared. Yeah.
Big Dick Toledo
One time I did.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. Again, though, that something's really wrong. So there's. Where anxiety goes through the roof, is that you're feeling anxious when. Good Lord. When you've been awakened by your phone because you're late for work and Brady's.
Big Dick Toledo
The first thing you hear coming in.
Brady Bogan
Oh, no. Miserable. Hilarious. But there's nothing worse than your phone ringing to tell you, hey, you're a jackass.
Big Dick Toledo
Oh, yeah.
Brady Bogan
And you've got to answer this.
Big Dick Toledo
And your wife's in there laughing at.
Brady Bogan
You, of course, because you're an idiot. But I found that to be kind of a thing that just the discussion of, hey, you get a phone call. And so they're starting. So the one thing that they were starting, I think it was in Cambridge they're starting. And actually New York. It was Columbia as well. They're starting college courses to help ease anxiety for what they're calling older technology that still exists that they have to deal with. So the new technology scares older people. The old technology scares younger people because they're like, well, we do it. It's a better. Oh, there's another AI song. I drew a picture of my dick for you.
Big Dick Toledo
Oh, I gotta listen to that one.
Brady Bogan
And it's a love song, and it's based, like in. It's like an old Arlo Guthrie kind of folk song where a dude, just like, every time he gets a little confused by, like, this, the message he's getting from wound, he draws a picture of his dick and sends it to her in the mail and stuff. And then at the end, it says, I hope maybe someday in the future there'll be an easier way. It's just. AI figures it all out. But they're. Yeah, they're so adept to how to communicate their way that. That telephone. Like, why would anybody do this? And, man, I'm. I'm on. I'm on base with that. I agree with you completely.
Big Dick Toledo
Anytime my phone rings, I'm like, who the.
Brady Bogan
Who's that? Who's dead? And why are you doing this?
Big Dick Toledo
Especially, like, if, like, my dad calls. He does text, but sometimes he'll call.
Brady Bogan
And I'm like, oh, my dad now uses emojis. And like, yeah, mine does too.
Big Dick Toledo
And I'm like, oh, my God, the thumbs up.
Brady Bogan
Thumbs up. And. But it's smiley faces and. But if my dad's calling, something's going on.
Unknown
Either or it's like, yeah, you know, like, if I hear. Get a call from Bunny, does she text?
Brady Bogan
She a texter?
Unknown
Every now and then.
Big Dick Toledo
Oh, okay.
Brady Bogan
Is it a scramble, though? It's not really, no.
Unknown
And if I text her, you know, usually it'd be a couple hours.
Brady Bogan
Is it usually, I'm gonna call you later? No, no, she doesn't twitch that it's gonna happen.
Unknown
We've never really had detailed text, like, a discussion going on.
Brady Bogan
Oh, no.
Unknown
I'm just gets to the point.
Brady Bogan
Like, you just fire one off, saying, hey, I'll call you in a little bit. Are you available? Those kind of texts.
Unknown
Yeah, she's done that a couple times.
Brady Bogan
And that's a decent human being who texts you to warn you of the phone call. But I found that to be. I thought that was pretty fascinating. There's an entire group of people under the age of 21 that are like, that phone. And having to talk on the phone to someone scares them to death. They don't see it ever as a pleasant experience. Which means phone calls are now 90% bad news. And a whole generation has grown up on the idea that when the phone rings, it means awful stuff. And it's a fear. Like, oh, my God, if I answer that, my aunt, my uncle, my dad, my mom, my brother, my. Somebody's dead. There's been a horrible accident. There's been something terrible. That's what they associate with that. And I associate horrifying phone calls with TVs Doug Hopkins because his whole face shows up on my screen, and I'm like, oh, God. But he never calls, and Then I'll. And then now it's like Chicken Little. And Doug has the ability to call me every time I'm on the toilet. And I just send him a picture of my pants around my ankles. I'm like, you're amazing. Do you have cameras? Like, every time I sit down, you call me. And I'm not. I'm not talking to you during this. You never answer your phone. That's how people talk. I'm like, no, it isn't, Doug. That's not at all how people do it anymore. And then I feel bad now because when he texts, I know deep down he wants to. He's half hard wanting to call. He's like, really just dying. And then it's even funnier when I'm texting with him and then his commercial pops up on tv and I'm like, oh, what he wouldn't give to actually be in this room right now. But he loves it. Some people do. But it's a weird. Yeah, we're in a different. We're in that changing. Even 30 year olds were like, we don't understand. But nobody likes a phone call. So let that be a message to everybody too. If you're still one of those people hanging onto the idea that people like being on the phone, you are wrong.
Big Dick Toledo
Nobody wants to talk to you.
Brady Bogan
Number one, fear in a small study of people under the age of 21 ahead of death. But the good news is public speaking is now way down the list. And that was. That was an old Seinfeld thing. It's like public speaking. What I'm doing right now is someone would rather die or be around death than do this, like, stand on a stage in front of a bunch of people. Have you ever been around someone who is afraid of public speaking? They almost don't. It's like passing out kind of. Kind of fear. You got to coach them through. And like, it's. It's weird because I don't have it. Like, it was like when Ian Campfield worked here and he was afraid of dogs. Puppies. It was a real. All of them. It didn't matter. Small, big.
Unknown
I thought it was more puppies than it was adult.
Brady Bogan
It was only because we had puppies here when we discovered it doesn't matter the size, age, or anything else of the dog. He is afraid of it. Scared to death of it, puppy or otherwise. So when we had all those puppies in the lobby, we figured Ian would be all right with that. They're pup. Nope. Just the same exact thing as if a You know, a deerhound came in. So you start recognizing what irrational fears are. It's weird. Holmberg's morning sickness. Morning sickness 28 KUPD. Holmberg's morning sickness. The other thing I saw last night on the news, late night. And I'm loving this because late night news is different than regular news. Cause they'll tell you stuff that the rest of the news probably doesn't want to. They're finding, and this might be because plastic surgery is such a huge business that the COVID vaccine, much like the way Viagra was designed for heart issues. And they discovered everybody was getting these rock hard boners. They're like, hey, I think if we did just a slight alteration on this thing, it can become just boner medicine. Ozempic was, you know, has been discovered as. You know, it's a thing to help you out with type 2 diabetes. And then. But they're saying, yeah, it's a rotting food in their guts. And they don't get hungry. They're losing some weight. Maybe not the healthiest way to lose weight, but they're losing weight. And so it became a weight loss thing. They're finding that the COVID vaccine and the medical community doesn't want this. If injected into somebody of the right age, will grow your breasts. A woman's breasts like it three times the size.
Unknown
It's got to be the right.
Brady Bogan
Not. It's not. No. It's like an age thing and a developmental thing. So if you were given your 12 year old, 13 year old daughter the COVID vaccine and they used the example of a girl who was a teenager and got. She was 19 and they couldn't find out why her B cup breasts. Brace yourself, boys.
Big Dick Toledo
You said 19, right?
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
Big Dick Toledo
Okay.
Brady Bogan
We're all okay talking about it went to triple G. They couldn't figure it out. Like she. And nobody in her family. There was no reason to believe that triple G breasts were in the cards genetically for her. These massive triple G breasts.
Big Dick Toledo
I'm going to Walgreens right now. I'll be right back.
Brady Bogan
And they traced it back to. The only thing she did that could possibly alter anything in her developmental stages was five years ago. Taking the jab and her boobs were the.
Big Dick Toledo
Now there is a God.
Brady Bogan
There is a God and his name is Johnson. M. Johnson. You don't have to have those big plastic bags stuffed into your.
Unknown
They naturally grow.
Brady Bogan
You just shove that thing in your daughter when she's 14. And I know that sounds terrible, but if you want your daughter to have a good Life, that's. Hey, look, you can laugh. You can laugh at that. But bottom line is, I have two friends who are parents who paid for their daughter's breast augmentation because she was so depressed that she never developed. In this day and age, the pressure to have boobs and be physically attractive is higher than it's ever been, probably thanks to the Internet and all the physical, you know, manifestations of your kids. Like, they have to be. They have to be present as like little tiny models at every turn. And to somebody who is a little bit, you know, lacking in that department. Evidently, they're now taking a look at the COVID vaccine because remember when they started to say kids don't need it? So it was a rarity that a lot of teenagers, like, some kids got it. Someday they're finding that she's not alone.
Unknown
Girls are lining up.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, this will be a thing.
Big Dick Toledo
You're making it easier for your daughters out there.
Brady Bogan
You're making life like I've been saying for a couple years, and people don't like hearing it. College, the future of college. It's for ugly people. College will be for ugly people and older people. If your peak years 18 to 25. And if the vaccine, if it goes Ozempic and turns into. By the way, we're using it. Side effect. You might have some strokes in your 20s. We're not real sure what it does, but it is gonna grow your cans like crazy. America will do it without question. Suddenly, that vaccine has no. Like, I would never put that in my body. The Ozempic weight loss is a dangerous side effect of what it was originally supposed to be. And then they're like, but America wants to lose weight. They're fat as hell. They'll do this. They'll let food rot in their stomach for days on end, which is the opposite of what your body's supposed to do so you don't stay hungry. And that's. That's a smart thing too. It's a. It's side effects down the road of. That'll be awful, but current. Like, it makes you look better. People will do. There's side effects to the Viagra, you know, to lower your blood pressure. Be very dangerous for people who have.
Unknown
Blood pressure issues, what, like 10 or 11 years on the Ozempic thing? But that was for the diet.
Brady Bogan
Oh, yeah. They knew what it was doing, but it was a side effect.
Unknown
Interesting to see a lot of the.
Brady Bogan
Medication that we've been original Ozempic commercials. Oh, oh. Dangerous side effects include sudden weight loss. Now it's, hey. And some people even lost weight. Now it's like a great benefit because there's money in it. And when there's money in medicine, they don't care what it does to you later. If you're gonna buy it for the other reason, okay, we're fine with that. It's like if Jeep started to say you have to use it off road, they know that 90% of people who buy Jeeps are just getting groceries and going to work. They're not. They're just road warriors. They just make them look like, you know, I'm in a 10% category. Yeah, yeah, they make them and you buy to make it look like you're doing something. It's crazy. But yeah, so they started to do that. And I'm like, well, that's an interesting thought. Can we turn the tide on the COVID vaccine? And I would use the argument that a lot of you people are like, that's terrible. You're firing drugs into your kid so it doesn't get herpes.
Unknown
They're also. They did a study years ago about breast growing in young kids because of the dairy industry.
Brady Bogan
Cheese. Yeah, I remember. Well, that was government cheese. It was, it was the low end cheese.
Unknown
And I heard something about. They're putting, you know, the, all the steroids and stuff.
Brady Bogan
Well, because low end cheese, the low end government cheese and the low end dairy was like an unregulated amount of that stuff was just. It was sneaking through because the processing was gone away.
Big Dick Toledo
So Maryville cheese.
Brady Bogan
Or has it. Or has. Or. Yeah, Maryville cheese. So they were, they were discovering in small. And it was when they first found this in Southern California, it was people who were.
Unknown
They started getting breasts early.
Brady Bogan
Well, they started getting pubic hair at like four. Yeah. I started pubing up. And they couldn't figure it out. And they're like, well, the only thing that they're doing different than other kids their age in this little community because they're, you know, they check the water, they check power lines and whatever. What else? What's in their diet? We all eat this government cheese you guys send us because we're all poor. And they're like, oh, take a look at that. And then they just pulled it out and it was just like pube growing machine inside these. They're like, ah, well, this is the, this is the quick stamp cheese. This is the low end stuff that.
Big Dick Toledo
Gets, you know, Compton cheese.
Brady Bogan
It was less Compton cheese than one.
Big Dick Toledo
Straight out of Compton.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, like I said, it turned out it Was mostly affecting Latina.
Big Dick Toledo
Oh, really?
Brady Bogan
Latinx? I don't know how you say it anymore.
Big Dick Toledo
Who knows?
Brady Bogan
But triple G, I was. I went to school with a girl who was absolutely stunning and her breast grew to triple J. And she got her breast reduction her sophomore year of high school. Because out of nowhere, these just showed up. Now, that's what she was saying. And I took the Sam Kinison round. You got back problems. Lay down. You've been given the gift of life. You'll never have to work a day in your life when your back hurts. Lay down. No one's gonna go. Get up. Lazy. You've got the world by the ass. Lay down. But she had reduction. Her mom's boobs were huge. It made sense. Her sister had huge boobs. She was tiny and got the monsters. They were spectacular. Reduced them down to C's. By the time she graduated back up to double D's. So they were going to keep going at triple J.
Big Dick Toledo
Did she get married?
Brady Bogan
She did. I figured to what a guy. I call his name is Dave, but I believe most of us called him the luckiest prick on the planet. Yeah, she was. It was spectacular. And she was beautiful. She never took the jab. So if you. If you suddenly have jabbed the biggest boobs in your family and you're in your early 20s and you're like, gosh, that's weird. And you took the jab and you were like 15 or 16 while you were still developing, you can thank Covid for that. So the silver lining is it's free. Yeah. The government just bought you a pair of BO boobs. Biden said he can forgive all your student loans. You're not even going to need student loans if you've got triple G cans and you keep your waste in order.
Big Dick Toledo
Now, is it just cans?
Brady Bogan
So far?
Big Dick Toledo
That's cranks getting bigger.
Brady Bogan
Now. There's nobody who said that. I know boys developed cranks. Well, you're gonna have to look into that. It's a good.
Big Dick Toledo
I keep looking.
Brady Bogan
You do it.
Big Dick Toledo
It's the same size.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. Well, no, it wouldn't happen to you.
Big Dick Toledo
Oh, the younger, because.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. You had to be in your puberty phase.
Unknown
Developing.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. And they say that that's the only thing they could find. And the similarities between all these girls that went from nothing to this isn't human udders. Was. Did you take the vaccine? Which one did you get? And they're like, I got Moderna. I'm like, oh. And they're not looking to go, we need to fix this. They're looking to go, which one did you take? And they all took Moderna or Johnson and Johnson are gonna be like, it's a boob pill now. And they're just gonna sell it. And they'll sell it, modify it a little bit, and it's gonna be a tricky PR thing. They're gonna get the one because it's tough to sell to parents. You know, your daughter, we can make sure she's got huge cans. If you're worried about that, that's a tough one to go. For $800, we'll shoot this in there and pretty sure she's going to develop some massive cans in her life. And then you don't have to spend $15,000 on boobs for her 18th birthday. Or look around and see all the fake boobs. And tell me, how many of those women, if they could have been told at age 14, would you have taken a shot if it guaranteed that you had big boobs when you were older? Oh, yeah. And it's kind of a sad statement on the society, but take retro. Yeah, there's. Ask any girl with small boobs, hey, if there was a shot for that when you were 14, that would have guaranteed you'd have at least D cups. Would you have done it? And they'd be like, in a second. What if the side effect is blindness in one eye? Don't care. Do I still have one good eye? We'll throw all that stuff away.
Unknown
Just remind me of the other AI Song. I took a gas station pill.
Brady Bogan
Yeah, yeah. It's hard as hell.
Big Dick Toledo
Oh, great, John. Now I gotta have to worry about Johnson and Johnson commercials clogging up pornhub.
Brady Bogan
Great. But it's. But who's that aimed at? They have. And what they're going to do is try to figure out how it works in adults because you're done developing. So what they have to do is try to figure out how to kick start, develop. So a lot of people are going to die of weird cancers in their 20s where they try to modify the Moderna shot to go, let's see if we can make. If we can jump start an adult woman's breast growth again without, like making her heart blow up like, you know, five times too big. They'll do it. But right now. And again, I watch those commercials where you're like, are you worried about your kid getting herpes someday? Shouldn't you give him a shot just in case it gives them cancer? I'm like, what? That's a big business.
Unknown
What was the firing that Drug that was the side effect for. For men growing boobs.
Brady Bogan
Oh, there's a lot of those.
Unknown
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
That's a lot of like. Well, because you got to get hormones for a lot of things, so it makes your boobs grow. You have to worry about that with testosterone and stuff. Like, it'll make your cans get bigger if you're overdoing it or you're doing the wrong thing.
Big Dick Toledo
I'd never leave the house.
Brady Bogan
Gynomastia, but you have to be. You have to propensity for it. But, yeah, the. It's in. It's an interesting thought, but I. Yeah, those commercials that tell you your kid might get herpes someday. You might have a slot on your hands. You don't know it yet, but you might. And then her odds of cervical cancer go through the moon. You can do a preemptive strike when she's like 10 if you want. And that's kind of telling your kid, hey, I know you might be a whore, so put this in you. And in case you get some pumps. Well, at least slowing that down a little bit. So what's the difference between that and the moderna guaranteed cans shop? And that would be a great Christmas stocking stuff? You get a little gift card when you're 14. Oh, my God. My mom and dad got me boobs for the future. And then you just put a needle in. She just sits back and waits every day until she's like. And then when she's 19, she just wakes up with this. And she doesn't have to go to school. You save money on breast implants and a college education. If you're a good parent, you'll do this with brawl game. You're looking at your wife, who's got two plastic softballs under her skin because she never really had boobs, but she likes to play pretend that she does. Now she got two big fakies under there. And, you know, genetically, she's passed on the no boobs to her daughter. College is like, for a good college, you're looking at 40, 50, $60,000 a year that goes out the window. If your daughter's got great big cans, she doesn't have to work. You save yourself. My guess right now, $300,000 savings. One shot guarantees your daughter, according to my calculations, guarantees your daughter has an easier life. Probably marries an owner of a football team. You know what you never see next to an owner of a football team? A girl with no boobs at all. Not one. Even the dude down in Jacksonville who's from somewhere else he's still got, like, a lady with, you know, gigantic lips. And I mean, that's the other thing. If you could guarantee that it made you is some elixir that makes you look like you've got Kardashian lips and huge boobs. Forget it. I want to see triple G boobs on somebody who's in shape, though. I don't think I've ever seen triple G boobs on somebody who's like. You can brag. You have triple G boobs. To me right now as an adult, and I'd be like, oof. Yeah, probably got a triple G gut, too. Those are not gonna be pretty unless they came out of nowhere. And you're 20, so good job, medical science. Way to go, boys. Now that's the first time I've ever felt like I wish I had a son. Because then he could bring that girl over to the house and we could watch him swim from the window. That's his girlfriend. She took the Moderna when she was 11. Look at those. They're growing right in front of us. Anyway, perverts. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? 5 8, 5 9, 800 a good one and we'll scream it together. It's 98 KUPD. Wake up.

It's not weird.
Brady Bogan
It's pretty cool, actually.

Holmberg's Morning Sickness - Arizona
Episode: January 8, 2025
Title: Fires In Pacific Palisades Affecting Celebs - Fear Of Phone Calls Is Bigger Than Public Speaking For Latest Generation - AI Should Be Bigger Fear - 19yo Woman's Family Thinks Covid Shot Gave Her Size GGG Boobs
Timestamp: [01:54] - [08:15]
The episode opens with a detailed discussion about the recent wildfires in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles, highlighting the severe impact on both residents and high-profile individuals. Host John Holmberg shares a personal connection, mentioning that his "big boss man has a house out there" ([01:54] Brady Bogan). The conversation underscores the unexpected severity of the fires in a densely populated and affluent area, contrasting with the more commonly affected regions like show low.
Brady Bogan elaborates on the intensity of the fires, describing them as “if Mummy Mountain was on fire” ([02:00]). He reflects on witnessing news footage where a reporter was nearly overwhelmed by the wind and heat, questioning the authenticity of such dramatic representations ([03:07]). This leads to a humorous critique of media sensationalism, with Big Dick Toledo comparing the situation to a "Looney Tunes thing" ([03:07]).
The hosts delve into the confusion surrounding the evacuation advice, particularly targeting Steve Gutenberg, an actor from the "Police Academy" series. They mock the authorities' recommendations, emphasizing the disconnect between the advice given and the public's understanding of celebrities like Gutenberg ([04:05]).
Brady Bogan also reminisces about old pop culture references, mentioning "Short Circuit 2" and the transformations of actors like Fisher Stevens, blending humor with the gravity of the situation ([06:46]).
Timestamp: [10:37] - [27:57]
Transitioning from environmental issues, the discussion shifts to a psychological study presented by a BBC panel regarding the evolving fears of younger generations. Traditionally, public speaking has been ranked as one of the top fears, but recent findings suggest that phone calls have overtaken it, especially among those under 21.
Brady Bogan explains that while public speaking used to rank high, the omnipresence of social media platforms like Instagram has diminished this fear for the latest generation. Instead, the act of making or receiving phone calls now induces greater anxiety, equating it to the fear of being robbed due to the sudden and unpredictable nature of calls ([12:53]).
He shares anecdotes illustrating this anxiety, such as feeling that any incoming call signals something disastrous, likening it to an immediate threat or distressing news ([16:18]). Big Dick Toledo and other contributors add their personal experiences, reinforcing the idea that phone calls are now predominantly associated with negative outcomes ([22:11]).
The hosts discuss the generational divide in handling technology, noting that older individuals struggle with newer forms of communication, while younger people are overwhelmed by the persistence of older methods like phone calls. This discussion emphasizes the shifting landscape of communication anxiety and its implications on daily interactions ([17:43]).
Timestamp: [16:29] - [40:12]
The conversation veers into the realm of artificial intelligence, with Brady Bogan expressing apprehension about AI's advancements. He highlights instances where AI-generated content, such as songs, includes inappropriate language like racial slurs, which he finds amusing yet alarming ([17:59]).
Brady discusses the capability of AI to not only recreate music styles from past decades but also to incorporate modern elements, making them both funny and unsettling. He shares a specific example of an AI-created song titled "Ugly Baby," where subtle jokes are embedded in the background, showcasing AI's ability to understand and implement comedic nuances ([20:32]).
Further, he touches upon AI's potential to master complex tasks rapidly, suggesting that if AI can handle comedy in seconds, it poses a significant threat to creative industries and societal norms ([21:10]).
Big Dick Toledo joins in, lamenting the intrusive nature of AI-generated commercials and their pervasive presence across platforms, including adult websites ([39:08]). Brady continues to critique the reckless integration of AI in media, emphasizing the lack of oversight in preventing offensive or harmful content from being produced and disseminated ([17:59]).
The hosts conclude this segment by contemplating the future implications of AI, pondering whether its rapid development could lead to unforeseen consequences, including the erosion of creative authenticity and the amplification of societal issues through automated content creation ([40:12]).
Timestamp: [28:15] - [43:13]
In perhaps the most provocative segment of the episode, Brady Bogan discusses a claim that a 19-year-old woman's sudden and drastic breast growth (reaching size GGG) is attributed to the Covid-19 vaccine. He presents this as an alleged side effect, blending humor with conspiracy theory elements.
Brady recounts anecdotal evidence, mentioning that the woman's family traced her unusual physical changes back to receiving the Moderna vaccine during her developmental years. He humorously speculates on the possibility of pharmaceutical companies intentionally modifying vaccines for cosmetic benefits, drawing parallels to how other drugs like Ozempic and Viagra were repurposed for unintended uses ([30:06]).
He further satirizes the medical industry's potential motives, suggesting that vaccines could be engineered to meet societal beauty standards, thereby creating a market for cosmetic enhancements while disregarding long-term health implications ([33:04]). The discussion includes mock endorsements of these hypothetical side effects as "benefits," akin to marketing strategies that prioritize profit over safety ([37:13]).
Big Dick Toledo and fellow hosts engage in a back-and-forth, embellishing the narrative with exaggerated claims about the consequences of such vaccine side effects, including the notion that pharmaceutical companies might market these effects as desirable outcomes for teenagers and young adults ([37:22]).
The segment concludes with a blend of humor and skepticism, as Brady mocks the seriousness of the claims while simultaneously highlighting societal pressures regarding physical appearance and the potential misuse of medical interventions for cosmetic purposes ([43:13]).
The episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness delivers a dynamic mix of topical discussions, blending serious societal issues with humor and satire. From the immediate danger of wildfires in affluent areas to the evolving fears of communication methods among youth, the hosts provide insightful commentary interspersed with personal anecdotes and comedic relief. The exploration of artificial intelligence's impact on creativity and the controversial claims about vaccine side effects offer a provocative look into contemporary concerns, all wrapped in the show's characteristic irreverent style.

This comprehensive discussion ensures that even listeners who missed the episode can grasp the key themes and the hosts' perspectives on pressing issues.
