1. NFL Playoffs: Irrational Fandom & Emotional Schadenfreude

00:38 – 10:25

• John Holmberg opens with ultra-candid reflections on playoff rooting habits—sometimes wanting rival fans, not teams, to suffer.
  • Quote: "I realized I was rooting, not for this game, but the outcome to lead to a couple people I know wandering off onto the freeway and some sort of rage." – John, 02:12
• The guys discuss their emotional investments:
  • John supports the Steelers, hates the Ravens; Brett is a Bears fan but found himself rooting for the Packers purely to see friends’ misery.
  • They joke about wanting domestic disturbance and personal meltdown among rival fans.
    • Quote: "When I don't have a horse in the race, I root against humanity." – John, 03:29
  • They debate when it’s the uniform (Dylan Brooks, Rodman) versus when it’s really about someone you know.
• Gambling frustrations: the crew recounts a parlay lost because George Kittle was injured mid-game, launching conspiracies about the NFL being rigged just to spite them.
• Brett and John commiserate about rooting for outcomes just to tease or torment certain friends.
• John delights in the "sad Harbaugh" trope—loving the sight of coaches (especially the Harbaughs) flustered and failing on the sidelines.
  • "There's nothing better than a sad Harbaugh." – John, 07:20

---

2. College Football: Indiana’s Miracle & NIL

09:16 – 10:25

• Indiana Hoosiers football’s late success, aided by “adult men” (average age 23-25) due to transfer rules and NIL (name-image-likeness).
  • Quote: "It's like a softball beer league team in Indiana. They're just crushing people." – John, 09:24
• Discussion about how the new rules enable building a "grown man team."

---

3. CES 2026 – Tech of the Future

10:34 – 18:56

A. The Wallpaper TV

10:34 – 13:03

• CES' biggest buzz: a TV just 9mm thick (the “wallpaper TV”).
  • Quote: "Throw your TVs away. Chuck them. They're done. CES unveiled the wallpaper television. 9mm thick. Right on your wall—unbelievable." – John, 10:40
• Exclaims over how fast home entertainment tech has evolved from huge console TVs to today’s paper-thin displays.
  • "We had a 27-inch television that the neighbors came over to see...Now 9mm TV."

B. Wearable & Interactive Tech

11:49 – 13:03

• John recalls his ex’s brother working on fabric screens and electronic T-shirt tech—wearables decades ahead of their time.
  • "He had shirts that had screens on them—shirt material—and you could change it." – John, 12:56

C. Smart Legos, AI Pets, and Home Robots

16:19 – 18:47

• Smart Legos: New bricks that light up and guide kids through construction.
  • "Now Legos has smart bricks...they help you out, like light up to say that's the right move." – John, 16:32
• AI Robo-Dogs/Pets: The rise of non-allergenic electronic companions.
• Next-Gen Vacuums: Devices that can climb and clean walls, plus self-replacing Swiffer mop-bots.
  • "Vacuums that go up walls too...climbing vacuums is pretty awesome. Bachelor dreams. Replacement of all women is right around the corner." – John, 17:34
• Jokes about automation and "replacing women" with cleaning and sex robots.
  • Quote: "They're being replaced. Change their own pads. If we can get the sex dolls to...they are changing their own pads for the realism, I suppose." – John & Brett, 18:21

---

4. Tech Nostalgia: How Far We’ve Come

14:40 – 15:24

• Storytime: John remembers heavy-as-lead Trinitron TVs, entertainment centers, and now-redundant media furniture.
• Quote: "Think of the furniture we don't need anymore because of technology. Every room had an entertainment center." – John, 15:12
• Musings about book collections—now often decorative, not functional.

---

5. Bizarre News: The Philly Bone Collector

24:05 – 29:36

• News Break: Pennsylvania man arrested after stealing 100+ skulls (and more body parts) from cemeteries.
  • Quote: "He got to a hundred skulls before anybody caught him." – John, 24:05
• Hosts lampoon the lack of cemetery security (“just put up a Ring!”), speculate about the collector’s motives (hoping it’s not ‘for sex’ but suspecting worse), and riff on grave-robbing history.
  • Quote: "This dude was into...when we find out what he was doing with them, ‘cause we will, you're all going to throw up 'cause he's boning...he's boning your grandparents so bad." – John, 29:03
• Jokes about famous bodies (Waylon Jennings, Rocky Balboa—if real) being most at risk, and estimate that “25-30 people” in Phoenix may have illicit human remains at home.
  • Quote: "Somebody’s got a human bone. 20 or 30 people in this city have a body part they shouldn't..." – John, 26:25

---

6. Arizona/Kid Culture: The Heard Museum & Uninspiring Field Trips

35:02 – 39:47

• The Heard Museum Rant: Painfully dull field trips—“cartoons covered all this!”—focusing endlessly on corn grinding and Native American dioramas, lack of excitement.
  • Quote: "If IKEA was a museum for Swedes, you’d say the same thing. I wouldn’t even fight you." – John, 36:41
• Calls for more engaging content (mock weapons, fighting, fake history) and genuine storytelling, not just “corn and squash.”
• Critiques forced culture and lack of hands-on, truthful exploration.
  • Quote: "Your legs will fall off you if you're there for more than 30 minutes. If I hear the word corn one more goddamn time..." – John, 37:10
• Field trip nostalgia, sleeping in tents, misbehavior, and comically bad memories.

---

7. Archaeology vs. Grave-Robbing

32:00 – 35:28

• The blurred line between “archeology” (science) and collecting bones—sometimes it’s just treasure hunting.
  • "We do it all the time. Some people do it and it's considered science." – John, 32:00
• Tales of bones unearthed during construction (Superdome, Phoenix freeways), and the effort to keep such finds hidden to avoid project delays.

---

8. Notable Quotes (with Timestamps):

• "I realized I was rooting, not for this game, but the outcome to lead to a couple people I know wandering off onto the freeway and some sort of rage." – John, 02:12
• "When I don't have a horse in the race, I root against humanity." – John, 03:29
• "There's nothing better than a sad Harbaugh." – John, 07:20

• "Your legs will fall off you if you're there for more than 30 minutes. If I hear the word corn one more goddamn time..." – John, 37:10

9. Memorable Moments & Tangents

• Laugh-out-loud banter on rooting against frenemies, measuring TVs in millimeters, and confusion about conversions.
• The playful-yet-morbid debate about cemetery security, town body-part hoarders, and why anyone would rob Waylon Jennings’ grave.
• Spirited takedown of Arizona’s “cultural” field trips—“I’d rather just learn.”
• Enduring confusion, mock outrage, and the show’s trademark combination of wit, irreverence, and dark humor.

---

For listeners: Even without catching the episode, this recap delivers the show’s vibe—raucous, self-deprecating, and fearlessly comedic, with playful takes on sports, the absurdity of tech progress, and the quirks (and crimes) of humanity.

Transcript

[Brett Vesely]

You're listening to the HMS podcast brought to you by MMP Guns.com, your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories. Hey, it's Brett Vesely and I'm here with Byron from MMP Guns. Look, Byron, I have a friend wanting to sell some guns he inherited. What's the best way for him to do that?

[Byron]

Brett, the last thing you want to do is sell the gun to someone who can't legally own one. Tell him not to put himself at risk and come into M and P Guns where he'll get a fair offer and he can rest easy knowing it's not getting into the wrong hands.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay, but what if he lives out of state?

[Byron]

Easy. Legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it.

[John Holmerg]

Really?

[Byron]

That simple?

[Brett Vesely]

There you have it. MMP Guns or legalgunbuyer.com the safe and legal way to sell your firearms.

[John Holmerg]

It's John Holmerg here from the morning sickness and I'm absolutely thrilled to tell you about my new [e-mail] here's the proof that me talking about something on the radio can be trusted because I purchased a 2024 customized Ford Bronco from the gang at Lifted trucks. That opened my eyes to who and what these guys are all about. They not only have thousands of trucks to choose from, they also have nationwide shipping and they can get anything anywhere. My Bronco's been customized. Countless other pro athletes and celebrities. Little old me. Choose lifted trucks and liftedtrucks.com work hard, play hard, drive harder. Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Monday. It is 5:45. This is the morning sickness. My name's John. How are you? There's Brady, there's Brett and big Dick Toledo. Brett's riding high off of that Bears win this man. Yeah. And I discovered a lot about the Bears, you know, and how I feel. I. I was telling you guys off there. I started rooting for the Packers. I know it's communism. I. I agree. I didn't care who won, but I started rooting for the Packers. I have a friend named Jeremy and Joe and a couple other guys that I have friends who are Packer fans and I have friends who are Bears fans. My buddy Jim. You. Yeah, all this. But then there's a couple people and you have to weigh it. And I didn't realize I did this is that I was rooting against the team that I thought would most likely lead to self harm to people that I don't care for. And they were. And. And I thought about. I'M like, my God, I'm rooting. I'm rooting not for this game, but the outcome to lead to a couple people that I know wandering off onto the freeway and some sort of rage. It was weird because I know that those same people celebrate Steelers losses in my world. And I'm like. And it, like, infiltrated my mind without me realizing that that's what I was doing. I wasn't rooting for any game or football or anything else. I was rooting for domestic violence in three houses in Phoenix that would result in the arrest of people I don't care for. It's amazing. And the thing that started to happen, it was just because I was talking to a friend, texting friend, and we were bringing those people up. The only good thing about this is blah, blah, blah and blah, blah, blah and blah, blah, blah are all potentially going to burn their own homes down. And we started laughing. And then I'm like, you know what? That's exactly what I'm doing. And I felt terrible about it. And then I'm like, well, this is kind of added to it a little bit. I don't have to the Packer Nation and you're. I do not have anyone I know who roots for the packers who I'd like to see on the news with a mug shot for running someone over, hitting their wines or something. I don't know. I don't know what it would be.

[Brett Vesely]

Other than people on the team for me, but, you know.

[John Holmerg]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I get that as a Steeler fan. It's Ravens. I like watching them fail. Like, and I still have that. But when I don't have that to root for, when I don't really have a horse in the race, I root against humanity. I root against the. The lifestyle of a person I don't care for falling apart to the point where I. I hope they become cutters or maybe attempt. Maybe not die, but make an attempt on their own lives. I don't know why that. And I was so happy in the first half of that Bears, packers came. Then at the end when they won, I'm like, hey, that's a good win, Brett. And I think of you. I'm like, brett's happy. That's a good thing. And there's nothing I can do. But, man, I was really kind of self evaluating that pretty heavily Saturday night. And then I. And then I realized, all right, who do I have? And sometimes it's people I know, sometimes it's people who I know, like that team.

[Brady]

Sometimes it's the players.

[John Holmerg]

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes it's. But I don't root for them to harm themselves.

[Brady]

But you're watching the game and you kind of lean to the one team because.

[John Holmerg]

Sure. Well, that. That players behavior that goes without saying. And that's just the uniform is going to. You know, if they were in the uniform that you chose that player, you'd probably like to. Dylan Brooks with the Suns. You cannot watch him on any other team if he's not on your team. He is the most hateable human being alive. But because he's on the sun, it's fun. Rodman was another one. Like, you know those guys who were like, yeah, there's just dudes. If they're not on your team, you hate them. That makes sense because it's the uniform involved. I'm talking about like a dude getting up for work today. And I was rooting for him to have like the. Like have to go to court because of what he did Saturday night to his kids and his family stuff. Like, I was rooting for the worst things to happen. And I've got four people I know who are Bears fans that made me kind of go down that road. I'm like, gosh, I didn't realize I did this. And I do. And I know that those same people want me to burn in a fire if the Steelers lose. And that's fine. It's just strange. It's strange how much that matters. And I also think that the NFL is rigged completely and scripted and not the way you think against me. I think they actually are just paying attention. Specifically have meetings and say, how do we screw John out of any gambling wins whatsoever? Because yesterday, Doug Hopkins, our make a Wish kid, Sam, we have a friend who's very, very, very crippled. Brady probably hasn't it made it very sad. And he hangs out at Doug's house on Sundays and Saturdays. And we made a bet between the Niners and Eagles and we had. We picked four. We each picked a guy. And then we all agreed on someone together as a fourth to score touchdowns in that game. It was right down the list. We hit a Dallas Goddard. We were knocking them down, right? And George Kittle was the only one left when his leg blew up and he'll never play again. And it's like, God damn it. Like that did that on purpose. They did that to us on only one. Missed by one. Once again. And it's just coming at me. They did that on purpose.

[Brett Vesely]

I think the NFL goes against Dale as well.

[John Holmerg]

And Dale, yeah. Because all of our picks For Thursday hit. Except Dale, who picked against his own team. He was a Buffalo Bill. They drafted him. He went no pick against that and he goes against it and they get. They win. So he picked the Jags. And as we all know, God hates Jags. So why would you do such? Now the Bills are in. So Steelers tonight. We'll see. I'm still riding high off the Ravens and again last night the Chargers played horrible football. Fantastic to see another mouth gaped open. Harbaugh standing on the sidelines not knowing what to do as team just craps all over the. Oh, it was great football at its finest.

[Brady]

If you had the under on that one man.

[John Holmerg]

Either way, it could be 80 to 77 or, you know, 16 to 3. A mouth breathing Harbaugh looking miserable and sad and confused and screaming at referees because they, they can't control their own players. They just blame referee. I love when Harbaughs are sad. There's nothing better. There's nothing better than a sad Harbaugh. And maybe he went home to my delight and cut his legs or something. Well, it became a cutter last night. I didn't know about cutting until about 10 years ago. I didn't know that was the thing. And I don't think anybody in my high school ever did it. I don't think we had cutters. And when that happened, I think it's a newer thing.

[Brett Vesely]

When we were in high school, not to go.

[John Holmerg]

But now I root for it, for my enemies now I root for it to just kind of crop up, be part of their lives. I'm all fine with that. Chop it up. Oh, bitterness, anger, love it. It's a beautiful thing. So tonight we find out if the, if the Steelers move on and there's a chance I'll be quite far. That the Steelers could host if they win tonight, go through New England next week and then Buffalo beats Denver. That the Steelers will be the hosts of the AFC Championship game. There is a road to. That should be awesome. Gotta win tonight, though. We'll see. That Texans team ain't easy. But no Harbaughs, I mean, they're moving forward. Bears are in and you guys go to. We're home. We're at home. That's right. You don't go to school.

[Brett Vesely]

Take the Rams.

[John Holmerg]

That's right. Oh, the Rams are coming to Chicago and in January. That's going to be interesting.

[Brett Vesely]

But I'm like, I'm like you with the Steelers. I'm kind of like, you know what? We beat the packers, knocked him out of the playoffs.

[John Holmerg]

I'm good. Everything's a bonus. Everything's gravy. I get that completely. Because you didn't expect anyway. Not at all. Yeah, now you're the two seed. Now you got to start thinking, nothing to lose. You got a chance here. Yeah, why not? Off football, it's great. And then my home state of Indiana is celebrating the glory that is the Indiana Hoosiers, who Friday night moved on in the college thing. Man, oh man, did they ever too.

[Brady]

With the help of God.

[John Holmerg]

Is that how. Oh, they talk about God a lot. Yeah. That bothers you now? That's not a good thing.

[Brady]

It's great. He leads off.

[John Holmerg]

Oh, yeah. Mendoza and the coach and everybody else first off, shut up about God. He doesn't care about your football game that much to where he sits back and goes, you mean I helped you win and you're not even going to thank me in the post game press conference? Like, how insecure is that God that he has to hear that afterwards? But either way, they're all 41 years old. It's a hell of a team. It's like a softball beer league team in Indiana. They're just crushing people. Stat. That blew my mind, though. In the history of Indiana football and the ranking system I always laugh at because it's so arbitrary. They were 1 in like 71 against teams ranked 5 or higher in their entire existence. And now if they've beaten them, beaten all of them this year, it's crazy how that turned around. Indiana is the. Is the school that took the best advantage of the nil. And they're doing it by putting adult men, like you said, a good system. They're all. The average age In Indiana is 23 years old. And there's football teams that are 24 and a half and 25. They're almost there.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmerg]

So he just went out and said, how long have you been playing? I've been seven and a half years in college. It's like a bunch of doctors. But, yeah, football dominated the weekend. Just.

[Brady]

You look good.

[John Holmerg]

Awesome. Just.

[Brady]

I mean, I just iced it for him to be number one in the.

[John Holmerg]

Draft, I think, yeah, it was pretty great. And you watched on a regular tv. I did, yeah. Just like, you know, normal. And Brett, you watched yours on a regular TV. Throw those out. Just throw your TVs away. Chuck them. They're done. Because that CES. Over the last week, they unveiled the wallpaper television. Did you see it? 9, 9 millimeters thick it is. And it just. Right on your. Right on your wall. It's Unbelievable. Clean, clear as like, just perfect. It's got little outlets on the.

[Brady]

What's it starting head? 5.

[John Holmerg]

$5 billion. I don't know what, but it's worth wallpaper television. So it's just going to be.

[Brady]

We were talking about that, like, we kept on saying that it's going to thinner and thinner. Well, and then you had. Saw it. I mean, well, it was a couple of Olympics ago, right where they put it. They had kind of the ribbon screens it was in. We've had those at Beijing where they had the floor.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah, well, they can do that with floors, but that's projection. And then. Yeah, that's like they can. I don't know how they do the projection thing without shadows and stuff, but they can do that too.

[Brady]

But it looked like they had some almost thin material screens.

[John Holmerg]

My. My ex wife, years ago, her brother was an industrial engineer and his projects were to build housing for electronics. So Sony would be like, here's a new, like electronic device which is like a DVD player at the time here. We're building them like this now. And all he did was build the outside to be aesthetically pleasing for sales. So you'd like, he'd take the guts and then they would build the outside, the case and everything and all the buttons and all the things. So he's like, this is what we do. This is what the inside. And then he would build the outside of it, which is kind of a cool gig. I didn't realize he didn't know that he knew the electronics but didn't know how to like, he wouldn't build in them, but they just send him over, here's what TVs are and here's our idea. And then they would make it pretty. So he had a project, this was in 2002, where he was making shirts that had screens on them, but they weren't like heavy screens. It was made out of like shirt material. And he had these. And you could. Instead of like, like, I'm wearing a TJ Watt jersey right now. So I could just turn it on and it would be a T.J. watt jersey.

[Brady]

You know, almost like a separate screen.

[John Holmerg]

Like, it was. The material was a screen. And then I could change it so it had a little outlet on the bottom. The outlet was kind of like a.

[Brett Vesely]

Change it to Aaron Rodgers if you wanted to or whatever.

[John Holmerg]

Wow. And then. And then also it had like a scroll if you want to like T shirts. The more adaptable one was a T shirt that like you could throw like Adidas would just roll across it would be like. You'd be like. It would be scrolling. Yeah. Or you can just have it dance. And he said, yeah, this is years from coming out, but we're working on this because right now we can't figure out how to make it. So the charge or the thing you play, like computers weren't quite there yet to where you could plug in. And then just like now would be really to put a meme on it or something. Back then it was just, you know those dancing bananas that were everywhere. That was all you could do. And it was the coolest thing ever. So I kind of forgot about it until I saw the CES thing. Wallpaper TV is the future. So all this crap we're seeing here on our walls in the studio. These sticking out. What is that 8 inches off the wall? That's going to be cumbersome. The way those old console TVs were at your grandma's house. Crazy. What 98? No way. Homeberg's morning sickness in my lifetime will have gone from that gigantic five foot by three and a half foot box with a 19 inch screen in it. We had a 27 inch television that the neighbors came over to see. They couldn't believe what was sitting on our shelf. 27 inches. My God, you're gonna go blind. It's too much. And then I think it was the Burkharts. I don't remember. They had like a 35 inch TV. Rockefellers.

[Brady]

The first Sony Trinitron I saw.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Unbelievable.

[John Holmerg]

Oh, did you ever try to lift one?

[Brady]

Oh yeah.

[John Holmerg]

I helped Larry move his. He had an old TV in his bedroom. Were you there when we helped him move out of that condo years ago?

[Brett Vesely]

No, I didn't make.

[John Holmerg]

The TV was a hundred and forty five pounds and it was like picking. It looked normal, it was a flat screen but the back end was massive. And we picked it up and like I'm this. We had to go downstairs. I'm like, nah, I'm not do. This stays this house. It's exactly what I told him. I said it for the next guy because this is. You get new put a steel beam.

[Brady]

In in order to put it up on your wall.

[John Holmerg]

Oh, you could. Well, these were the ones you didn't hang. You put it on a. On it. That was back when. Jesus. Think of the furniture we don't need anymore because of technology. Every room in our house when I was a kid had an entertainment center.

[Brady]

Built around the cat. You had to build around that. Especially when it got to the like big screen. Sorry. It was just a mini theater.

[John Holmerg]

It was massive. But then you'd build around it. DVDs and shelves, CDs on shelves. Think of the wall books nobody has. Nobody has that. You don't go to anybody's house anymore and see a wall of books. Trip's house has them, and that's the only one. But again, that's for looks. Yeah, I know. He's just, you know. That's another one of my amazing books. I've never read. Who knows? I don't. He's not much. I don't think he reads. I don't anymore. Maybe he's Old house.

[Brett Vesely]

We've seen some of those books.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah, Mein Kampf in there. But he bought that house, as is. The guy who sold it to him said, you can have the furniture. And he goes and at his Christmas party, realized the old owner of the house had Mein Kampf. He had Hitler's movie. We gave it right to Larry. Larry's a fur. Like, look at this. Larry Wheaton. I gotta get rid of that. No, you don't. This is a talking piece.

[Brady]

It's autographed.

[John Holmerg]

But think of all the crap that used to be in your house. That CES thing I watched this week. And the two. Oh, and your kids are gonna get dumber because now Legos has this thing that the. The bricks are smart.

[Brady]

Smart bricks.

[John Holmerg]

And they help you out.

[Brady]

Saw that.

[John Holmerg]

And they start like. Yeah. I don't know if they light up or start glowing or something like that when it's like.

[Brady]

If you put it in properly.

[John Holmerg]

Well, if you're building something, it kind of lights up. The next one to say, that's the right move or the. This isn't. Where this goes. It'll. It tells you. Instead of that monstrosity I used to build the multicolored monster that had. No. I couldn't even build. I always got. I got a wall up and then another wall, and then I'd run out of the same. Then it just became this hodgepodge. Everything looked like a Tim Burton movie when I built it in lego.

[Brady]

What's good, it's not only lights up. It shocks the kids when they put it perfect.

[John Holmerg]

I think that's like Operation or what. Yeah, yeah. It's. Operationally, the user takes a volts. I love it. But, yeah, your kids, they don't have to think. And I don't know what I'd rather have. Like a perfect thing that I didn't really do or like the crap I built, which was horribly ugly and stupid. But I Did it myself. Like there's some personal pride in that. But easier is always better. But yeah, that CES thing had some stuff.

[Brady]

Get your AI companion dog.

[John Holmerg]

I saw that too. Yeah. And hypoallergenic pets, because they're not real. The vacuum that goes up walls too. It goes up a certain height on walls and turns around. I'm like, it's got the ability to make a turn on a wall and vacuum the lower half of your wall. You know what? I saw the replacement of all women. They had a thing, stuff that cleans your kitchen. They had the vacuums. They had a mop vacuum and the mop thing that it'll. It does the vacuuming, then it goes and resets itself. All you have to do is put like 60 Swiffer pads in it. Right. Close the door. It goes back to its home after like 10 passes, changes its own pad, pops back out and finishes the job.

[Brett Vesely]

Women are really being replaced.

[John Holmerg]

They're being replaced.

[Brett Vesely]

Change their own pads.

[John Holmerg]

If we can get the sex dolls to. You know, I don't even why we'd include menstruation. But they are changing their own pads for the realism, I suppose. Unreal. Yeah. I'm watching that thing. I'm like, but. And then the 130 inch 1 inch television, which has been around for a minute, but it's just perfect. I'm like, oh, God. Eventually it's just going to be your wall.

[Brett Vesely]

You call Best Buy already in order one.

[John Holmerg]

I've. I've been. I've been inquiring. Wallpaper, tv, and it doesn't go on with glue and stuff. It's still a television.

[Brady]

It still gotta hang it somehow.

[John Holmerg]

I don't even know what 9 millimeters is. Is this 9 millimeters thick? My phone. What? How thick is. I know it's not much. Maybe an inch. How many millimeters in an inch? Does anyone know? Does anyone know? No one knows. No. No souls know that? No. And you can email me if you want, but you had to look. There's no way you just pull that up out of your head. Now. Nine millimeters is blah, blah, blah, or you're European. Maybe a European can help us out. But I don't know how many millimeters are in an inch? Don't you dare, Brady. You're reaching for it. Don't. Don't do it.

[Brady]

I gotta guess.

[John Holmerg]

Your little hand. What is it? Guess how many. How many millimeters in an inch?

[Brady]

I'm gonna say 1,000.

[John Holmerg]

A thousand millimeters in one inch. That's got to be Way off. What about you? I've already looked. Okay, I'm out. I'm gonna say millimeters in an inch. 10.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, I. I was actually just doing the. The iPhone thing.

[John Holmerg]

Okay. How many millimeters is an iPhone?

[Brett Vesely]

IPhone 12. 12. Pro to 15. Pro is 8.25 millimeters.

[John Holmerg]

So this is about 9. About a thousand millimeters a meter. Yeah, that would be. That's what I was thinking. Miller is a thousand. So I was thinking. Man, he nailed that. That's a thick tv. Larry's old Drinatron. Yeah. Yeah, that's three feet thick. Okay, so how many are an inch?

[Brady]

About 10.

[John Holmerg]

Like, we'll be like 18. Because this has to be about half an inch.

[Brady]

9.

[John Holmerg]

My phone's about half an inch.

[Brady]

20 then.

[John Holmerg]

So around 20 millimeters to an inch equals 0.0393.

[Brett Vesely]

I know, I know.

[John Holmerg]

How many millimeters in an inch? 25.4. And don't go firing off that email that you knew that because you didn't. Without me doing exactly what I did. So think of that. Nine millimeters is a thick third, basically, of an inch, and it's going to go up on your wall. I cannot wait. What's. What's next? Eventually it's just gonna. I don't know. I don't even know how they do it. Like, they'll just come and perform. The holograms are where I'm thinking we got to be getting close to, like, the live 3D. The way they played chess in Star Wars. That's gotta be. We gotta be close. Gotta be close. Yeah. It's just the climbing vacuums thing was pretty awesome. And all I thought was, wow, all this stuff that they've got for cleaning your house. Bachelor's dreams. A woman wouldn't want, I don't think most the robot to clean the house because all they do is get mad at it. It missed this. Guys don't care if you miss a corner or whatever. Like, I didn't math around the thing. It kind of skips that. You just go and scrub it yourself. Women lose their minds. Like, a maid doesn't do something. They go inspect afterwards. Like, guys never go back through. If you hire someone to clean your house, that's a gift. Like, I had that homoglow thing come clean the rental a couple of times. And you know the one dude, the dude that showed up was terrible.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmerg]

Oh, he was horrible. The girls that have shown up have been spectacular. Unless another girl comes and looks at the house.

[Brady]

Like, I had it the other way around.

[John Holmerg]

You had the guy, that was good. The girl was bad. I'm sure there's going to be a few. Yeah, I'm going to clean your house spotless. You look like a sexy little thumb. Yeah, but, I mean, we don't care. Even if it's a dude that does it, and he does kind of an average job. He did some stuff. Like, my guy didn't do anything. Like, he. I'm like, nothing. Like, there were dishes in the sink, and, like, just two. I'm like, you didn't even put those in the dishwasher. There was food on the counter. You didn't even wipe them.

[Brady]

Well, that's extra.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah, that's. Yeah, but I'm like, what did you do? The floor still had, like, dust and dirt and didn't. I'm like, all right, you didn't. You did this. You sat in my house for three hours while I left you there. But for the most part, a dude would let a machine clean the house, come home and go kind of close enough, so long as it's not, like, a filth box. And a lot of people's houses are disgusting filth boxes. So somebody goes in and does a decent job. But CES has all that, and the replacement of ladies is right around the corner. Then the other fun nose this weekend I was following is that dude who stole all those body parts out of that Pennsylvania cemetery to see that. Hundreds. He had hundred. 100 skulls and a bunch of mummified body parts that he had. And, yeah, they caught him because they're like, somebody said his car was close to the thing, and he's like, yep. And they went and pulled him over, and he had skulls in the back seat and, like, femurs and all this stuff. And he's like, yeah, that's it. So he leads him over to the places, and I expected this to be like, man, this guy's been at it for. He's been at it since November. That's it. Nobody saw this. A hundred skulls since November. It's January 12th. That's 45 days of him going, you know what? I'm gonna start stealing heads. And he got to a hundred of them before anybody caught him. And then they took him back. They looked back at his house. He had a few of the bodies hung up. A few of them had been reassembled with other stuff. Like, he's playing with him. He is. He's an ambitious man. A hundred skulls and, like.

[Brady]

Yeah, since about 100 body exhibit.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah, it's. I thought this would be forever. They Said the bones and skulls visible in the back seat of a car near a cemetery in Philadelphia's outskirts led police to a basement filled with body parts. It says hoarded by a man accused of stealing 100 sets of human remains, including every one of their heads. So Tuesday the, the. The arrest culminated a months long investigation. Two months into break ins at this cemetery. Kept breaking in. They didn't put a camera up. How many break ins does it take for you to put up a ring?

[Brady]

We're missing the first 10 bodies gone. Let's put something up there or control it.

[John Holmerg]

Have some guy standing out there one night. Higher security, like vip. We do it for concerts. Just keep an eye on it. Just have them sitting up top, put a camera on the thing and just watch the guy pull up out in the parking lot. But he's breaking into this thing.

[Brady]

Almost had him.

[John Holmerg]

They're out there with us.

[Brett Vesely]

That's Philly. I mean, you know, it's kind of expected.

[John Holmerg]

Well, that's the one thing I said to somebody from some. He was from Philadelphia and I said, well, you know, in Philadelphia you got your choice. You can bang a Philadelphia woman or you can go get something out of the ground. And it's probably better looking. It's skinnier, that's for sure. I'll tell you that. You wait for it to die, you give it like a year and a half, that thing's going to be a lot thinner. It might, you know, still have a little ass left. So you keep that on.

[Brett Vesely]

It's water weight.

[John Holmerg]

Yes.

[Brett Vesely]

What it is, it's water weight.

[John Holmerg]

She ate too many Huggies. That's what they should put on your tombstone.

[Brady]

I wonder if he was going after a particular, you know, year. Like it's got to be, you know, because if you, if he's collecting the.

[John Holmerg]

Skeletons, he's just digging them up. 100. He was just at it. He was just collecting. They should put your weight on your tombstone for these guys because they're out there. How many people in this city? We're almost. We're pretty close to the same size as Philly. I would guess there's probably 25, 30 people in this city right now that have a human body part they shouldn't have in their house. And not like through grandma's. Like they stole us.

[Brett Vesely]

Not like ashes.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah, yeah, like that. They shouldn't have. Like somebody's got a human bone.

[Brett Vesely]

I think it's that high.

[John Holmerg]

20, 20 or 30. And then one dude stole. Well, because somebody's there. People stealing all the time. Like Body parts and stuff. Like, there's cemeteries. Nobody's paying attention. Somebody's got Waylon Jennings in their house. He's buried in Mesa. My ass. Somebody took him a long time ago. Nobody's ever gonna report that Waylon Jennings got stolen. But you can't bury Waylon Jennings and have everyone in this city know it and not have some hillbilly in Apache Junction try to dig that up. There's no hill exhume.

[Brady]

There's just a bottle of bourbon inside.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah, there's nothing there. I would venture to guess as many rednecks that live in the vicinity of Waylon Jennings dead corpse, which is right there. Over there off center by Ho. Hokum Stadium. Yeah, he's right there. That. There is no way he's still in there. There is no. Somebody took that 98. What 98. No way. Hol's morning sickness. And then they go, hey, you want to see something? Like, yeah. And then you're in their trailer and you're like, you got a basement? Sort of. They dug a hole underneath their trailer and there's like Waylon Jennings with a cowboy hat, some candles and a guitar and a skeleton. And you're just like, what's that?

[Brett Vesely]

Kind of like Norman Bates at the.

[John Holmerg]

End of Psycho in the. In the root cellar, there's pictures of him and his album is always playing and it's kind of like, yeah, I gotta reset that. No way. Weylon Jennings is still there. So I'll say maybe 30 people have stuff they shouldn't have in their house that should be in the grave or a mausoleum or something. I would venture. We're a big city and this dude had a hundred skulls before anybody figured it out. In two and a half months.

[Brett Vesely]

Anybody famous, as they said?

[John Holmerg]

No, not yet. Yeah, nothing like, who from Philly? Could it be Mike Schmidt still alive? I mean that. Oh, please.

[Brett Vesely]

Rocky.

[John Holmerg]

If Mike. If Rocky Balboa was real, and I know Brett, that's hard to hear. It's like Santa talking about it. If Rocky was real, best fighters in the world and that story was real, there is no possible way somebody wouldn't steal that body out of the ground. No way. They have like 24 hour security at Forest Lawn. And in California, I used to go there. It's one of the most beautiful places. They've got art exhibits and all sorts of stuff. But you go by and like, there's Stan Laurel, there's Walt Disney. Like, they've got all these things in the. And you're just walking along. I saw Brittany Murphy. Right after she died, the grass was still not quite grown in. Yeah, she's right on the edge of the road, too, which wasn't a very good spot, but she's in there. And I'm like, yeah, people would. They're always.

[Brady]

What about the other stuff? I wonder if they got him with the, you know, the rings and whatever they're buried with. Because a lot of people. That's why people do it. They loot the girl.

[John Holmerg]

This dude seemed. Yeah, but they're. They just steal off the body. They don't take the whole body. This dude was into. Oh, and when we find out what he was doing with him, because we will. You're all gonna throw up because he's boning. He's boning your grandparents so bad. Oh, that's so hilariously bad. But, yeah, what are you gonna do? That's why you should get burned up. There is nothing about that that's appealing. Eventually, somebody's gonna dig you up and collect you or.

[Brady]

Yeah, I have to move you.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah, for sure. There were on my grandpa's property in Pennsylvania, you'd wander around and you'd find stuff from, like, the 1800s, and you just, you know, drift off. My and my dad knew about, like, this was a cemetery, like a grave on. Wherever somebody died, they just put them here, stick them here.

[Brady]

Family land.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah. And they'd put a thing in there and etch, like, into the rock. The name and the time. Like, whoa.

[Brady]

How many Waltons were up in the mountains in the 70s?

[John Holmerg]

Oh, there was one that just had this weird name, like Alfred something. And then after, it just said 1845. And you had to move a bunch of grass was just a stone that they'd carved to name it. And they buried him right there. And I'm like, he's not still in there. There's no way. These rubes in Mount Jewett, Pennsylvania, long ago dug his ass up. Teenagers in the area. I'd have been in on that. I have a hard time going by that cemetery on Lincoln, because I've been in there when I used to run that, and I get tired, and I'd wander into that because I don't want to be. I just see what's there. They have all these Baha' I faith people, and I didn't know what that was, so I wanted to.

[Brett Vesely]

What is it?

[John Holmerg]

I have no idea. It's a weird religion.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay.

[John Holmerg]

And then in the back of it is just people who died in the 1800s, and I'm like. And they're Mounds. They even like put them in the ground very deep. Oh, man, it's right off Lincoln. And all I thought was, how far do I have to dig? They're right there. You strike me as the type of person that if you found a skull in the ground or something like that next to like 1845, you'd keep it.

[Brady]

I went by with our buddy Thomas Wells when we were in Scotland and it was a cemetery and had pirates. Like 1647 had the skull and crossbones.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah, they're in there. And the stone, they're not. They're gone. They're long gone.

[Brady]

People have unmarked, a lot of them. It was just the skull.

[John Holmerg]

And people dug that up years ago.

[Brett Vesely]

Jack Sparrow's still down there for 400 years.

[John Holmerg]

No, there's no way. No way. That's like a hundred different generations of 17 year olds that know where that is. Thomas. Probably fool me. I'll tell you where the pirate graves are. Like, oh, those. Those are just stones. You guys dug those up a long time ago. I'd be curious about that if I found a grave from the 1600s. I dig not for sex like this guy probably did, just to see if it's still there now. Good. Their skills were. We do it all the time. Some people do it and it's considered science.

[Brady]

Well, they.

[John Holmerg]

Archaeologists, they consider that science. I'd just be collecting.

[Brady]

Wow. Her diet, she ate a lot of.

[John Holmerg]

My dad used to tell all the time his construction. You know, they build big buildings and stadiums and stuff. And the second they would say, oh, we found a bone or an arrowhead or something, they'd have to stop everything. So it was kind of an unwritten rule that if you find anything, just put it in your pocket, keep moving. And in New Orleans, when they built the Superdome, my dad's old boss, Jimmy, oh, we found all sorts of stuff. Treasure chest, bones, heads, bodies, girls, boys. Like what? They just dug it.

[Brady]

Clunk.

[John Holmerg]

Another thing would hit and like, just keep scooping.

[Brady]

Got deadline.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah, got deadline. They were late on the Superdome as it was. Let alone. You're not screwing around with the, you know, finding a body down there in that swamp. They'd investigate for months and then the Superdome can't open. Super Bowl 9 was supposed to be in the Superdome, the Steelers and Vikings. But it had to get played in like, like an outdoor stadium at LSU or something. Or Tulane. I don't even remember where it was because the Superdome wasn't done yet. They were like, nah, we found treasure chests and it Stopped everything. They find. One stops. He found. He said they found hundred hundreds of bones.

[Brady]

Another one from Jean Lafitte.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah. Ask anybody who did this freeway, the 101 Indian bones like crazy. They didn't say up. They didn't make up. Probably like full T. Rexes. Eating an Indian like it's still in the Indian's mouth. When they both got killed, nobody said a thing.

[Brett Vesely]

Keep that bobcat moving, yo.

[John Holmerg]

Go, go, go, go. Run it over. They could hit a T. Rex. Just get it up out of the ground, put it in your house, do whatever. Go. Nobody's going to know about the T. Rex eating the Indian. That would be great. Little skeleton hanging out of the mouth of the T. Rex, half gone, little bones in his throat. And I don't know what happened. The meteor. This iced them both at the exact same time. Who knows? But they were. Yeah, they. We had mcc, for God's sakes. We got to go to an archaeological dig. When Price and Southern, they found a piece of a pot. The whole goddamn freeway just shut down. In 1991. Like, shut it down. And me and a bunch of community college kids got to go traipse around there. How important are those bones if you're letting little feather dusters out? We had to watch. We weren't allowed to touch this stuff. We got to watch the people do it. And then they tried to explain it. And let me tell you this also. It was like May or April was hot as it was. Horrible standing there before that freeway was done while they're dusting for more pottery. And I'm like, didn't the Indians get new pots? Yes, but this would tell us so much about their lives. I'm like, ask an Indian, they know about it. They've been passing these stories down forever. Yeah, Gilbert will. I'm going to go out on a limb. Lots of corn. That seems to be maize. I even know the word for it. You guys are still looking for them to eat something else. Some javelina, a couple coyotes, corn.

[Brett Vesely]

Maybe that's where they stash their peyote in there.

[John Holmerg]

You know, maybe bison wandering around the elk, the desert, I don't think maybe. But yeah, maybe a rogue bison was eaten on Price and Southern once they did takeout, I think, like Indian door dash of the 1700s. I don't know. But you're gonna come up with corn. You're gonna. They used to make. Because I've been to the herd museum, which is, by the way, the worst museum in the history of museums, where you get to roll that corn on that rock. And I'm like, yeah, we did that.

[Brett Vesely]

It was terrible.

[John Holmerg]

The worst field trip I've ever been on. Slept in a tent, Got in trouble. Me and a girl named Charla Hartfixon and a girl named Amber Hunt.

[Brady]

You hid in the village.

[John Holmerg]

There's like a thing. You got to go into a teepee.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmerg]

And pretend. And we were the last ones. And we got out. And then the class. Okay, follow me. And we just popped right back in there and laid down. It wasn't even like we were just bored. I mean, it was. We needed to lay down. You talk about mall legs. The herd museum. That's the. The Indians are getting us back for the heard museum because they're white. People walk through there trying to get culture. That is the invention of mall lakes. That herd museum is a thanks to the herd family. Yeah. Thank you. Her sharing their collection of man, the.

[Brady]

Stuff they got from those savages back then.

[John Holmerg]

They used to eat corn from that. They ate corn from everything. I get it. And here's a. Here's a reenactment. It's just an Indian with a bow and arrow and another little Indian. And they're shooting it at some sort of bobcat or something. And I'm like, all right. I could have. I've seen cartoons also. This is unnecessary. And then they would go home where the ladies would make corn or maize. Okay. What else did they do? That's about it. They didn't need to build a bill. This is too big a building for this.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm going to bash.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmerg]

They slept in a teepee. Yep. Cartoons covered all this. I don't want to take away from their culture and stuff, but it ain't museum worthy, that's for sure. It's like the way if. If IKEA was a museum for Swedes, you could say the same thing. I wouldn't even fight you. And it's in downtown Phoenix. It's like. It's almost rude. We took it from them. And this is what used to be here. But now look around. Oh, there's beautiful buildings. The mall. There's the zips across the street. The Indians would love that.

[Brady]

There's some dance parties here every now and then.

[John Holmerg]

Here and again. Oh, yeah. And then they got it. And then they go through that, and those dudes put the dance. And that's actually the good part. Start with that. But your legs will fall off of you. If you're there for more than 30 minutes. Your legs leave. You stay. And your legs are like, I'm out if I hear the word corn one more goddamn time. What they do with these rocks? Oh, they rubbed corn on it. And they rubbed corn. Everything was corn.

[Brady]

It's a field trip.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmerg]

And squash. Squash was another one. They talk about a lot like, good Christ. It's like going through Safeway's vegetable islands. Like it's making me a vegetable and turning into one. Sorry. Herd museum. I. I will say that if even free, it's not worth it. The grounds are beautiful. Walk around the outside. The second you're in there, just go over to, you know, quit being so sc. Scared. Go knock on the door when you're at the casino. Next time, go down like that side street. Just pull in, knock on the door and go tell me some stories. And you'll just hear, God, do I have stories. And then you crack open a Budweiser. And this dude will tell you everything about his ancestors and none of it. He'll never mention corn and what they did with cobs after. Like, I'm sure, like, hilarious, like, but we don't ever ask that. I want one of those. I want one. I want an authentic Native American to be my tour guide over at the herd museum who understands how boring it is. Make something up. Then they would take the corn cups and they'd use them as sex toys. Yeah. Here's a reenactment. Holy cow. Here's what we think of Whitey. And they just reenact what you wanted to do to Whitey. Here they are. Here we are. Cutting head off of soldiers. Oh, right. Now we got something. And then we used his skull to make corn. All right. I'll give you that. Eventually, some corn was gonna get involved. We call it maze. All right, we get it. Go. Next thing. Next. Kill another guy. The bows and arrows, they should make you do that. You can go out back to the herd museum and you can start shooting at stuff.

[Brady]

Make the arrowheads.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah, yeah. Weapons of war. That's what I want. Heard Museum. And when you sixth grade. Is that when you went after sixth?

[Brett Vesely]

Sixth grade was somewhere in there.

[John Holmerg]

Brutal Grisman Elementary.

[Brady]

Brutal.

[John Holmerg]

Every elementary school has some sort of weird contract to drag you through the Heard Museum. And it's. Have you been there as an adult? Oh, why.

[Brady]

Why moved out here?

[John Holmerg]

Oh, people forced, you know, Me too. And it was the only field trip. You're like, oh, no, I'd rather just learn. I'd rather be in a classroom learning. I'd rather read, like, a big book. Like, the whole thing. Now follow me to the next thing where we made corn. Like, oh, Christ.

[Brett Vesely]

And that damn flute that plays the entire Muzak system or whatever the whole time.

[Brady]

Where? The massage tables, that's what.

[John Holmerg]

Yeah, get a massage. A masseuse in here and rub these sixth graders. Oh, that's a bad phrase. Don't say that. Let's get ourselves a Wake up song. Start Monday off proper as we just prepare for the Steelers and Texans tonight. Or at least I do. Give it to us good and strong we'll scream it together. It's 98 kupd wake up. Italic and control map.
