In this episode, John Holmberg and the crew return after an action-packed football weekend over Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. The group reviews NFL playoff drama, laments the Arizona Cardinals’ decline in the coaching market, and, in trademark fashion, goes off on tangents about leadership, fan resentment, and the epic new “Booger Program” for Arizona sports’ most hated.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Weekend of Football and Unity

• The hosts open celebrating what felt like a national weekend of laziness and sports over MLK holiday.
• [00:38-02:19] John jokingly credits “MLK’s Dream” with unifying everyone—“I have a dream of not moving off the couch from Saturday starting at 10 until Monday night at 10pm...MLK’s dream has come true. We are all black, white, all getting together, doing the exact same thing. That was a unified weekend.” (John, 00:55)
• The Couch Potato lifestyle is championed, bonding everyone through NFL and NBA games.

2. Intense Playoff Reactions

• [02:19-05:14] The crew reviews Bears, Seahawks, and 49ers playoff heartbreak and glory.
  • “Caleb is starting to show that that was a legitimate...This is what Kyler Murray was supposed to do. Change the franchise. And he is a legit...Dude is clutch. And he’s proving it week after week.” (John, 02:24)
  • Rams and Bears fans try to find bright spots despite losses; Richard “Toledo” is teased for prematurely shopping for Super Bowl tickets.
  • Honorable mention for the joy in rival teams’ suffering—hatred for rivals bonds fans.

3. The New England Patriots: NFL’s ‘Evil Empire’ Returns

• [05:14-08:24] John bemoans the Patriots’ swift rebuild, fan arrogance, and lucky breaks.
  • Anecdote: Seeing a friend on the golf course in full Patriots regalia during a game—“Golf looks like a jackass. So they’re back. Payne Stewart, they’re back.”
  • John proposes elaborate NFL conspiracies after Bo Nix’s injury—“There is no way we got told the truth...I think the real reasons are to say that somebody from the NFL went in there with a bat and cracked his ankle during the celebration. So the Patriots should get back in the mother Super Bowl. They love them.” (John, 07:18)
• Discussion of missed calls, controversial plays, and memes about Bill Belichick’s involvement in NFL outcomes.

4. NFL Officiating Conspiracy Theories

• [08:43-09:33] Frustration over inconsistent officiating in the Bills-Broncos matchup.
  • “If ever you have been in a situation where you think football is rigged, look no further than that Bills Broncos game...” (John, 08:58)
  • The same play called differently in back-to-back games deepens suspicions.

5. Coaching Carousel: Cardinals Fall Further Down the Ladder

• [09:34-12:32] Cardinals’ job gets bleaker after Buffalo fires Sean McDermott; Arizona is now among the least desired vacancies.
  • “This is the biggest loser. This weekend, after the Bills fired McDermott, was the Arizona Cardinals; that job got less—somehow managed to get—less desirable.” (John, 11:27)
  • Holmberg proposes owner Michael Bidwell should coach next season just to publicly absorb abuse.
  • League trend: teams with top QBs (Ravens, Bills) get first choice in coaching; Cards pick through "scraps."

6. Analogies & Local Leadership Rants

• [12:35-19:47] John likens Michael Bidwell (Cardinals’ owner) to clueless, slick radio bosses from his past, riffing on the way both organizations mismanage leadership and repeat bad decisions.
  • “He should work for the Cardinals because he was equally as stupid and oblivious as they are.” (John, 17:34)
  • Extended, colorful storytelling about radio station hirings, firings, and personal betrayals—more than just radio, it’s a metaphor for Arizona football’s mismanagement.

7. Phoenix Sports’ Most Hated: Michael Bidwell

• [23:08-28:10] Discussion pivots to how universally disliked Cards owner Michael Bidwell is in Phoenix.
  • “Everyone hates him. No one likes him…He walks in a room, everybody’s like, ‘ew.’ He’s gotta feel that. We need, and you know what? We need to do it worse. I don’t even like the Cardinals, but I need to be like, boo. If he walks by you, just boo him.” (John, 24:10)
  • Comparison: even Jerry Jones draws awe/respect; Bidwell only disgust.
  • Holmberg jokes about social schemes to ensure Bidwell feels hated at every turn—from restaurant staff to fans.

8. The Infamous ‘Feed Michael Bidwell Your Boogers’ Program

• [28:10-38:52] John introduces (jokingly) his grassroots campaign for Phoenix:
  • “Now do something for the football team…Feed Michael Bidwell your boogers.” (John, 27:47)
  • Elaborates on appropriate methods (“just slap it up against his lips when he makes a face”, “rub one on him or on his suit”), drawing laughter and some mild queasiness.
  • Notes that collective hatred might prompt long-overdue change: “Hate will force him to realize that his biggest weapon in his brain is that he’s a big deal. And if you take that away from him, he might change.” (John, 29:38)
  • Crew is (for the most part) on board with booger plan—Bret and Richard support, Brady is less enthused.

9. Real-Life Booger Art: The Rental House Story

• [34:25-36:11] John shares a true story of a renter who, in defiance after being evicted, wrote his name and “FU” on the walls in boogers and blood.
  • “He wrote his name in the last two weeks he was there on the front wall in boogers and blood...I mean, we’re talking foot and a half, long letters...It was booger art and I hated him. But right now, boy, could I use him to follow Michael Bidwell around and hand over some of those boogers.” (John, 35:02 & 35:37)
  • Crew howls at the “Van Gogh of South Scottsdale” reference.

10. The End: Final Laments and Coaching Laughs

• [40:53-end] John predicts more misfortune for Cardinals fans—a likely bad head coach hire—before signing off.
  • “Enjoy. What I predict is the next announcement coming out of Cardinals camp: Cardinals are introducing their new head coach, Matt Nagy. Have fun with that.” (John, 40:55)

Transcript

[A]

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?

[B]

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.

[A]

Okay, but what if he lives out of state?

[B]

Easy. Legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it online. It really that simple?

[A]

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

[C]

You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? There's. It's the morning sickness. My name's John. There's Brady. There's Brett. There's Big Dick Toledo. Let's do this thing and get through a Tuesday, shall we? I don't know if it's. Oh. I don't know if it's supposed to be this way, but Martin Luther King weekend is all about the sports. I don't know if that was his dream. Man. Oh, man. What? What weekend for him. Okay. Yeah. Because he was a man with a dream. I have a dream of not moving off the couch from Saturday starting at 10 until Monday night at 10pm that's pretty much what all of us did. That was amazing. Football, every second of the day, if you wanted, it was on. And then yesterday, all day basketball. Leading up, it was just. MLK's dream has come true. We are all black, white, all getting together, doing the exact same thing. That was a unified weekend. I had a lovely evening. Sunday at Talking Stick Resort and Casino. Wonderful people, everybody out there. Just glorious. I had a dream, and they handed it over. It was a really nice. I'm just happy. It's almost like the Ravens lost again. I had such a. Just a nice weekend. It was really nice. Anyway, and then. Sorry to Brett. You know what, though? The Bears, they go down in a game that was, like, almost over, and then they almost did it again. It was fun to watch. They're a year ahead of schedule. Enjoy your run. That was fun. It was a great game.

[A]

I mean, other than the outcome for Me. But I mean, that last pass that he threw to get overtime, like, wow.

[C]

Ridiculous. Yeah. Caleb is starting to show that that was a legitimate. This is what Kyler Murray was supposed to do.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Change the franchise. And he is a legit. I didn't think he had it in the beginning. And in college, I'm like, don't trust the USC quarterback doing too much. He's just. He's just a USC guy. And they're like. Some of them make. They're just. They're flashy. They can put up numbers. They're not clutch. Dude is clutch. And he's proving it week after week. So Bears fans have something to be happy about. Right. That's miserable to go. Yeah. Miserable to go out, but. You mean.

[B]

Brett's painting his nails and he's drinking Matcha Tea.

[C]

We're in the 18. If I'd have told you back in September you're going to lose in the division round of the playoffs in overtime.

[A]

I'd have told you you're full of.

[C]

And you're like, there's no way. And you're like, would you take it? Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, would you take being that close a field goal away?

[A]

And again, it's kind of like you. You know, we. We beat the. We beat the packers two out of three games this season. Knocked them out of the playoffs. I'm good.

[C]

Yeah, I'm good. That's where your joy lives, isn't the other guy's hate and pain? And it's. It's great that you had that. So Toledo's it. Toledo is all we've got.

[A]

And did you buy a Super bowl ticket?

[C]

We have been through this once before with Richard where he kind of gets a little ahead of himself when his team does well and Seahawks look pretty good. Pretty dumb. I mean, I would. I wouldn't. I wouldn't make fun of him too much. Here he comes. Here we go. Oops. That's not it. It's the other one. There you go. It's the wrong happy. Here he comes. Julio's happy. There you are. You did not buy super bowl tickets yet. Are you going to?

[B]

I have looked at the price.

[C]

You're an idiot. Stop it. Did you not learn? Don't get them until they're in it. I haven't done anything yet. Cuz if you start doing that, you're the jinx. I know you learned that with the Mariners.

[A]

What are. What are the tickets going for right now?

[C]

I don't know. I didn't look. That's why no, no, no, I didn't look. You started to look. You did look. You're lying.

[B]

I look like six months ago.

[C]

Oh, wow. That's a little presumptuous. That's silly. He's planning. You thought the Seahawks had a chance months ago? No, no, no. I just wanted to know what the. What the pricing was. Congratulations to you. That team looks they're on fire at the right time.

[B]

49Er fans cry all you want to about your third string team. That's all you keep yelling at me about.

[C]

Hey, that's all they field.

[B]

That was exactly. They were the ones on the field.

[C]

Yeah, they constantly put a third string team out there because for some reason they can't stay healthy and have a choice. But I noticed you didn't when you beat Philly. Yeah, yeah, take that. It had to feel good. I mean, imagine that, Brad. Your main rival and you knock them out of the playoffs.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

I mean, you did that. But I mean, this was on the way to the Super Bowl. Now here's the one thing. I'm gonna bring everybody down, especially Cardinal fans. It would appear that the New England Patriots have rebuilt an entire operation in about three years. And the evil empire's back.

[B]

Oh, it's back. Of course.

[C]

One of the architects of it, Vrabel, is at the helm. Yeah. And they came marching off that field and I'm like, could this team be more blessed with bigger assholes as fans? Like, there's no fan that's worse than the mass holes of New England. None worse. And they're. And I'm starting to see it again. All your stupid little stickers are back and they're brand new because we know how to win. They are shiny and they're back screaming wearing their Patriots. I got golfing Sunday. I went golfing with my friend Sunday afternoon while the Patriots game's on. He's in a Patriot sweater hat, blue like knickers, rant a pair of pull up red and white socks and I'm like, the game's on right now. Yeah, go Pat. Like you're not watching it. You're not a. You're not a big fan. You're an angel. Golf looks like a jackass. So they're back. Payne Stewart, they're back. And could they get more blessed that Bo Nix blows up and Denver has to go with Jared Stidham in the AFC championship. Not on the nail. All lies. Oh, it is. The NFL is lying. He was not injured at the end of that game. He went and did the post game presser and kind of bounced out of there. And he got hurt celebrating in the locker room. And they don't want to talk about it because that kid was fun. You're telling me if he broke his foot on one, on a kneel down, he wouldn't have been in a blue tent. They're not parading him out there to go shake hands with anybody going to the AFC championship game. If he's like, coach, I did. You don't just go, maybe I broke it. You. You know, wow, stop playing that.

[B]

So why then? Because they broke it on the celebration.

[C]

That gamblers would hate it. The NFL can't have that. They want the celebrations to be legit. You can't. You got to say something. He might have twisted a little. That dude broke his foot in the. I watched the post game. He was fine. He would have said, yeah, I did something. I tweaked. I'm gonna go check it out in the tent. He kind of jogged off. And I'm like, you know, if he's got a surgery riddled ankle, nobody standing near him like he would. Are you kidding me? Bo Nicks. That would imagine.

[B]

You can walk around on a sure.

[C]

Fracture, but you go. If they knew in. In Peyton's press conference it was a broken foot. No, he heard him.

[B]

He.

[C]

It was an ugly break. Surgery break. An ugly break in the locker room. There is no way we got told the truth. Absolutely. He was definitely.

[B]

But looking at him when he did that final. There's a little stumble tweak.

[C]

There was two.

[B]

Two little tweaks.

[C]

But to break your ankle, break it. To need surgery and know that and then still go out and shake hands with everybody, you're protecting that quarterback. If he's got this, if he's got a hangnail at that point, like, is your foot hurt? Yeah, it hurts a little bit. You walk. If he had enough to tell somebody, hey, I need to go get this checked right now. There's no way he was celebrating. There is no way that happened on a kneel down. That's just a lie. And I don't know. I don't know the real reasons why, but I think the real reasons are to say that somebody from the NFL went in there with a bat and cracked his ankle during the celebration. So the Patriots should get back in the mother Super Bowl. They love them.

[B]

What does some of the memes. Bill Belichick stands with the camera.

[C]

Bill Belichick shot that kid in the foot. My work here is done. Back to North Carolina and my sweet, sweet young poon yeah. There is no way I'm buying that. That story came out as Bo Nix was running around the end of the game and, you know, two seconds later.

[B]

It's tougher for the Bronco fans, too. Not only that.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

The fact that they're saying, you know, want to say that that game should have been over earlier.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Because of that safety that they missed the holding call when Josh was in the end zone. That would have been over.

[C]

The Bills just. Roger Goodell hates them there. If. If. If ever you have been in a situation where you think football is rigged, look no further than that Bills Broncos game, because the reception. The very next game, they had the exact same play. They reviewed it. Yeah. It was. It was the same place. Said it was an incomplete pass.

[A]

It was the same play.

[C]

And then it was the exact. Like. It was almost like the glitch in the matrix. Change the jerseys.

[A]

That's about the only difference play.

[B]

They said it was a complete pass.

[C]

Or they said it was complete pass. I said, right. It was a complete pass. But he was down on contact.

[B]

Down by contact.

[C]

I mean, the arms were in the same spot. Everything was the same. They didn't even look at it in Denver. They just calling the field was what it was. We're not even going to. No. No need to assist that. You're like, are you kidding me? They spent no time on it. And that next one. I mean, the Bills and. But here's the big loser for this weekend, and this is typical of NFL weekends, the biggest loser this weekend. And I'm going to go ahead and say it. It's going to hurt people. Your Arizona Cardinals. There's another great job opened up in the NFL in Buffalo with Josh Allen at quarterback, which puts the Cardinals coach. They are in the worst year ever to be the crapp franchise looking for a coach because you're getting scraps.

[A]

They just lost to the Titans, too.

[C]

Yeah. Robert Salah went to the Titans and the. I don't know what Miami just did. They hired the DC from Green Bay with all these. I don't. I wouldn't have jumped on that. But now Sean McDermott is probably somebody you might go get. He's not going to change a franchise. But all. Now everybody's like, hold on, Cardinals, we don't need your call. The Bills job is open. I can coach Josh Allen and then. Or come here and coach Kyler Murray maybe or John Harvard or whomever you like. Damn it. Yeah, I. That's what I was thinking. Oh, the Bills. I didn't Know h. Morning sickness. Disgusting. They smell, they're sticky. They say things that are horrible. Holmberg's morning sickness. But, yeah, you have got to get to the super bowl. As a head coach in the NFL, if you're. If you've got a MVP quarterback, you get like one or two runs at it and then you're out. So the Bills job opens up, the Ravens job is open, the Steelers job is open. And the Cardinals sit back like, yeah, yeah, we're going to interview a couple of guys. Michael Bidwell is going to have to coach that team next year, and that's what I think he should do. That way he can get pelted as well.

[A]

Yeah, but how's he going to get.

[C]

To the Rah Rah room? Well, he can leave early. Buddy Ryan used to do it. You throw beer and hot dogs at him and you can actually hit him instead of having him up in his Roman suite. Yeah. This is the biggest loser. This weekend, after the Bills fired McDermott, was the. The Arizona Cardinals, that job got less. Somehow managed to get less desirable. You have Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen looking for coaches. You think the Cardinals phone is ringing off the hook? No. Some homeless dudes, like, oh, dude, that's what Bidwell's going to end up with. It's going to be a cruddy hire. It's going to be a real.

[B]

It's going to be like Ghostbusters over there. We got one.

[C]

That's it. And you're going to get up, just some guy standing on the sidelines for a year going, well, who wants that job? And the coach that takes. It's going to be like, oh, I'm the least desirable head coaching candidate because the Cardinals were the only ones that hired me. With all of these jobs open, even Tennessee is more favorable because they've got, you know, nobody knows if Cam Ward's any good yet. Anyway. Football.

[B]

Does Gannon get back into the mix?

[C]

Not as a head coach. I don't think the Cardinals kind of. You know, when you bathe your own feces for three years, you got to go to the showers. So he's got to take a step back, clean up, and then come back. He's got to. If he's a head coach, Cleveland brings him back, wouldn't be surprised. Remember. Remember that terrible boss we had? His name, I don't want to say it out loud because I don't want him to sue, but his name was Marv Nyon, and he's one of the worst bosses I've ever had. One of the dumbest people I've ever met. Made a ton of mistakes. I still have paperwork of his lies, but Marv was, you know, slick. He's one of those slick guys, look.

[A]

Good, guns out and everything.

[C]

That was another dude named Clancy. He's equally as awful, but throwing guns out and lying to you to your face. And you're catching them with lies, and they just smiling. We'll see you next time. Catch on the flip side. They say stuff like that. They're like, guy Fieri before he was Guy Fieri. Hey, put on a flip flop. We'll catch you on the other end. Like, yuck, you slimy bastard. Anyway, I don't want to disparage him by name, but his name was Marv Nyren. And I remember we had a program director at the Zone, our old radio station, and he came up and he. He was the first person I ever worked for. His name was Chris. And Chris was. I only met him once, and he was fired. Boom. Gone. And he goes to Los Angeles to be an assistant program director. Essentially, they called the music directors for his girlfriend who ran a radio station in Los Angeles. That's how radio works. Your girlfriend can hire you. It's very rare. So she hires him. So about a year later, maybe a little longer than that, I'm now doing the morning show at kzn. And Marvin, I. Slick. Boom, Bam, Bam. How you doing? Catch me on the flip side. How you doing? I'm a slick man. Is this your wallet? I'd my end get in there. I don't know how I did that. I stole that. Comes to me and he goes, hey, because I got rid of the program director, a friend of mine named Paul. But that's okay. It's business, right? So he comes and he goes, we got the best. Like, this is how oblivious this idiot is in the bidwell sense. We got the best. The best dude coming in. I'm like, all right, good Mike Scratch. He's coming out of Los Angeles. He works at Star. I'm like, oh. Said, I know a guy who works there. He's like, oh, yeah? He said, yeah, he's this. He's the music director there right now, but he's had some program like Chris Abbott. And he goes, you know him? I'm like, he was the program director here before you fired Paul, and his eyes just got huge. He's like, what? Like, did you not look at his. No. Did you not look at his resume? You just hired back the guy we fired to put in the guy you just Fired. And I'm like, 24 or 25 at the time. I'm looking at him like, am I the smartest one in the room right now? That scares me. And he looked at me. He goes, I'll be right back. They had no idea that they had hired a guy that used to be the coach I did in sales.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You lived with him. This wouldn't surprise me if Bidwell just hired Gannon back, is what I'm saying. Like, if it would just be like, let's do it like Billy Martin for the Yankees. Let's do it again. He might be. Yeah. Oh, Gannon might be the only guy left. And then we have to. Marv Nyman on our way back into this. That dude was so. That dude was so bad that me as a young boy new to the business, Green, they call you, went to him and said, hey, I know we just went through an ownership change. Like, a lot of weird stuff happening. And I'm like, I'm not really cement here in my morning. I think we're doing okay. But I'm. I just bought a house thinking that this was. And I'm. But I can get out of it. They're building it. I can get out of it. If. If you say, yeah, it's. It's. Just be my friend right now. Just be. It's a little like, I wouldn't do this right now. Just. I asked him, and he goes, not only should you do that, I'm gonna. Because the Beezer Homes needed confirmation that I was gonna have a job, he wrote a flowery letter to them saying that I was part of the future. January 1st, I'm gonna get this, this, and this. And he's good. And they're. And so I'm like. I had. I literally had $26,000 to my name that was going to this build, and I had to give it to him on a specific date. Asked him, he said, go get him. All I would have lost was five grand had he just said, don't do this. So I give him that. I give him the note that confirms my everything. I still have.

[B]

You go all in.

[C]

Still have this letter. Go all in. I'm like, thanks, buddy. I appreciate that. I get fired January 6th, five days after he writes, and. And I'm out the 27 grand. I'm done. Everything's over. Didn't have the. And then, so a year later, he comes up to me. He's like, hey, we're good, right? And I'm like, oh, we are far from good. What what did I do to you? And I'm like, you're a piece of, is what you are. And he's in this little Fiesta bowl jacket. Then he tried to hire me to Chicago a couple years later. He was always trying to scam his way back in. Crooked pile of garbage, that guy. That's my personal opinion. Some people might like him, but I've been on the other end of him. Thus my hatred for the Bob. And you should hate your Bob's too, because they reach in your pocket all the time. But yeah, he. He should work for the Cardinals because he was equally as stupid and oblivious as they are.

[A]

There's the Cardinals, last phone call.

[C]

Apparently O got coach of the Cleveland Indians. Can't say it. He's the coach of the Indians from major league. I don't know.

[A]

I got a guy on the other line for some white walls.

[C]

Get him the heater, Ricky. I don't know. He had a guy that lied about some white walls. You want to coach the Indians? He's get. No, he wanted to buy some tires. That's who they're going to get. And I feel bad. The Cardinals have.

[A]

Maybe Bidwell should hire Marv for his gm.

[C]

Oh, he should be the GM Slick there with her. Hey, cool. I get to go to. I get to play golf for free with everybody. And I have no. I'm just building relationships. Hey, your team's terrible.

[B]

Tyler, you're solid.

[C]

Yeah. On your watch.

[B]

You're our guy. I'm sorry. We gotta.

[C]

Yeah. Hey, Kyler, you're the man. You know what? You should buy a space shuttle. You think? Yeah. Kyler. Oh, man, my new ball's cool. That's my impression of Kyler. It's been a minute, but yeah, he'd fit right in over there with them putting suits on and slicking their way through. Hey, where people love us, right? Like. No, you know what they are? They're Harley Davidson lawyers. The dudes that ride around on nice days. The lawyers that bought Harley Davidsons. And they're like the fringe and the tough look and they're loud and they ride by the cafes and they annoy and they look around. Everybody thinks that they're. Hey, we're the ones. Everybody. And everybody's looking at you going you.

[A]

The Paradise Valley Riders.

[C]

The PV riders. Wasn't that a song in Greece too? The PV Riders P E E E.

[B]

V Rider Live to ride. Ride the brunch.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, that. He's one of those. He'd put the brand new jeans on and maybe like, scuff it up against a tire on his way out of the garage, make it some stains, put his cool glasses on. He'd have one of those weird skull bells, because that's what they do. And then he'd fire that thing up nice and loud and think that everybody's looking at him like, man, where's that male model going next? And I have an answer for that. Brady's Hell. That's usually the next stop. Sometimes I think of people like that.

[B]

And I'm like, john, I'm sorry, but the. It was a sudden firing because the.

[C]

Focus groups came back and I didn't have time for that. Here's the fun thing. It just popped in my head. Dear, dearest of Brady's gods, could someone be a donor for Brady's kidney that we're talking about? Could that have. Could we get someone out there who could accidentally run one of their brand new motorcycles off a cliff and then their kidneys go into Brady? That would be the ultimate. Thank you, dearest of Brady's gods. Lord almighty, baby Jesus. I don't want to name names, but you know who I'm talking about. I think we both know you can read my mind, right? All right, good. Thanks. God, that would be awesome if you got his kidney. Oh, man, would that be great. That would be worth 30 grand I lost. Oh, yeah, that would be pretty sweet.

[B]

It's worked out pretty well.

[C]

All right, calm down. It still hurt. Let's not rose. Don't do that to me right now. Of course it worked out pretty well for both. He's still doing all right, too. I'm waiting for his failure. He's waiting for mine. There goes Brady in his rose colored glasses. What are you complaining about? Things went great for you. I love to go wandering.

[B]

Man, you gotta hate people.

[A]

Come on.

[C]

Yeah, come on, man. I tell you that story and you still give me. It's gone. Well, could have gone even better. Who knows? Homeburg's morning sickness. Disgusting. They smell, they're sticky, they say things that are horrible. Updated. Holmberg's morning sickness, Maybe that mountain I had to climb early on to the next game. Well, it's right, but I. And I won that next game. But I didn't like. I didn't like the floundering part. I was winning the first game. Anyway. This guy says, john, don't worry about the Seahawks. Will be just like Toledo's dad. They ain't showing up. I hope, actually Toledo. I hope he gets in the super bowl this year and then loses to you. Just want to crush the Patriots again. I don't know.

[B]

I don't want the Patriots.

[C]

They're in. They are in. Jared Stidham is not going to win an in throw football in a game since 2023.

[B]

There's a really good chance that they're.

[C]

Oh, they're in. Pretty much. They're in.

[B]

And if they win it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

There'll be endless Dave Portnoy video.

[C]

Oh, my God. And I can't look at him anymore. He's. He's the face of.

[A]

I thought I was getting sick of him. I thought I was the only one.

[C]

Oh, no, no, no. I can't look at his face. He is the epitome of a Boston sports fan. And I love what he does for the dog.

[B]

Stirs it up on purpose, of course.

[C]

He's a troll.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

He's. He's figured the Internet out.

[B]

He's.

[C]

He's a troll. And then he did something to where you troll and you're like, I hate that guy. And then he brings out Ms. Peaches.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And the dog stuff. And like, all right, he's not that bad. They're like, nope, still a troll. Yeah, it's rough, but, yeah, it's going to be tough. The Cardinals are the big losers this weekend, and I don't know, they're sitting there smiling, golfing the city. No, they don't. Like, you don't understand. How do you get how hated you are? Does he understand that? You know what I hate? I. I went to lifted trucks the other day to do a thing with the guys, and a guy inside there is like, hey, you, Homeberg? I'm like, yeah. And talking to him, he goes, oh, I listen all the time. Yeah, that's what. He didn't scream.

[A]

Well, Mark was.

[C]

Mark wasn't with me.

[B]

No.

[C]

So I put. I put my arm around, do a picture, and he goes, oh, man, this is awesome. Like, thanks. And he goes, my wife's gonna hate this. Like, why? Because she hates you. Like, thanks. That's a great way to close her up. And then we start laughing. I'm like, that's all right. That bothered me for, like, a few minutes. Can you imagine being Michael Bidwell? Like, everyone hates him. He doesn't have anybody in the city's like, ooh, there's Michael Bidwell. It's all, ew. It's like when somebody shows up with, like, and, I don't know, everyone hates his wife.

[B]

People that are oblivious to a lot of the reason why. It's people. People aren't Big fans of him.

[C]

Oh, everyone hates him. No one likes him. No one in the city gets excited when he walks again. It's the same thing. Like, if you and Brett and I were in a restaurant, there he is, and Toledo was dating some horrible woman, and it was just supposed to be the four of us. And Toledo walks in with the horrible woman. We would all go, oh, mother. Broader. That's how everybody feels. When Michael Bidwell walks in.

[B]

He's the Yoko.

[C]

Oh, you're Yoko. You're Yoko without Lennon. Like, you didn't even have the Beatle by your side. You're Yoko pre John. Everybody hated Yoko before. Yeah. And he walks in and was like, ugh, there he is. I've. Yeah, if there was a rap song, it would be called Ugh, there he is. He's. And, like, is he oblivious to it? Wouldn't you want to change that? I do a lot for the community. I'm like, you have to. Like, you're an NFL owner. Tons of. I do a lot for the community. Do something for the football team. The community. It's. You know, you're one of the billionaires in town. I would hope that you do a lot for the community. That's nice. Good for you. Now do something for the football team. Everyone hates you. Don't you feel it at stake 44. When you walk by and everybody goes, yeesh, Matt Ishbia walks into the rah rah room down there at the Suns thing, and people are like, there's Matt Ishbia. There's Matt Isbia. They whisper, Bidwell's wandering around. Oh, there's Bidwell. Somebody's poisonous food. Like, everybody. Nobody's got seats taken. Yeah, nobody Let him. You're gonna stand here. I know it's Michael. I don't care. He's his dad's chunk. I call him Bill because they're apple tree. He's still attached. He's still as bad. Somehow he got worse than his dad. I may be doing Bill Bidwell a disservice by saying Michael is the same as him. He walks in a room, everybody's like, ew. No. He's gotta feel that we need. And you know what? We need to do it worse. I don't even like the Cardinals, but I need to be like, boo. If he walks by you just boo him. He doesn't. Jerry Jones in Dallas, people out loud just scream, you need to die. They want him dead. Boo. Just boom. When he walks by. And still when Jerry Jones walks in a room, people like, there's Jerry Jones. Holy cow, there's Jerry Jones. Like, they're still starstruck a little bit here. You feel. You feel, no matter what, you could be, you know, the dude who just gets the tires off the rack at discount tire, and you feel more important to this city than Bill bidwell. When you walk into a restaurant, you can go to qdoba and if he's in there, like, move, Bidwell. I'm next. And I love the queso here because it can't be beat. Qdoba queso is great anyway. Move, bitch. Move, bitch. Everybody needs to say that. If he's at Starbucks and he's in there in his little suit, Michael bidville's got that dumb smile all five foot four of. And he's standing there looking at the counter. And the Starbucks barista needs to go next, bitch, and just scoot him over and make sure everybody gets taken care of before him. And even if ever he goes, I'll buy for everybody. Everyone in there go, no thanks. Your money's poisoned. Make him feel it till he does something right. I'm not even a cardinal fan, but I've got too many friends who are that. I see their faces when you just say the name of the team. I was like, yeah, but you're a cardinal fan and just see him deflate. It's like saying your wife is ugly and by default. Don't you rose color this? Don't you rose still go back and get well, you know, because there's the worst part. Now you're. Now you're playing on people's emotions. Now you're harming people's emotions and you're taking advantage of it. And, yeah, these people will. They'll march back into that fire thinking, maybe this is it. And then you got to realize he's not done anything different. This isn't going to change until he goes away, until this city makes him feel like I should move. Yeah, he should feel like a minority in the 50s moving into paradise valley. He should. He should feel like an alien. No one should ever go, hey, it's great to see it. Waitresses should go. You got a lot of nerve. Well, four. I'm like, you got a lot of nerve. Like, I'm in control of your food and you're in public. Okay, what do you want? Because it is going to be covered in boogers, and that's for sure. How many boogers should he eat a day? 10? 12? Foreign boogers.

[A]

Oh, at least.

[C]

Yeah. I'm not suggesting it. I'm demanding it. Give me a cease and desist from a lawyer now. Stop saying people should put boogers in my food. No, I don't have to say it. Everyone should just do it. You should have boogers every day until this team does something where you're like, hey, he's figured it out. Boogers. Everybody should. You know what? It shouldn't even be on his food. It should just be on it. On your finger. Just slap it up against his lips when he makes a female. Yeah, yeah. When Kirby. When Kirby was playing Harlem Globetrotters with that ball of booger that she pulled out lo. Those many years ago. When was that? Ten years ago?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Blinding, horrible memory from that moment. I have that photographic memory when something weird happens or terrible, and I'll remember details of that whole day. I remember the entire conversation with your sister driving back from Sedona thanks to Kirby's booger because it scarred me and opened my brain to go absorb the entire day. You've never seen anything like this crazy, but, yeah, feed him a booger today. Well, next time you see Michael Bidwell, hey. Walk up to him in a restaurant, go, hey, how you doing? He's like, hi, I'm Michael Bidwell, and I'll shake your hand. He'll think you're there as a fan, and she go, that's awesome. And then stick your finger in your nose and pull one out and start to reach for his face. What? What's going on? Like, I'm just gonna feed you a booger. You need a booger. Stop it. Why does everyone try to feed me boogers? Because no one in this town likes you, and we need you to know that. I need you to show some humility and get behind a podium and go, I know you all hate me, and it's my job now to fix that. I know you all hate me because we need to. Brady's staring at me like, why the. Why the hate. Hate him because hate will force him to realize that his biggest weapon in his brain is that he's a big deal. And if you take that away from him. Him. He might try. He might change. It's the 98 KUPD. And, yes, they're on board. Feed Michael Bidwell your boogers program. We don't have a promotion staff anymore, and we don't pay for anything. I will fund this. This is a grassroots program. I mean, pulling money out of this company is. It's not happening.

[A]

Tripp's just sitting there going, oh, crap.

[C]

All right, well, cue the checks. I'll start right. Right now feed Michael Bidwell your boogers and say it. Do it. Hey, this is from Holmberg's morning sickness in 98. KPD. It's the KPD feed you boogers program. What's this? And then he'll find out about us and be like, what?

[B]

What if he likes.

[C]

I bet you he's like a little rat with him. What if it makes him stronger and.

[B]

We got a winner?

[C]

The boogers of the youth. No, it makes him stronger at being himself. Somehow managed to get worse. Anyway, Cardinal fans, I'm sorry. After this glorious weekend of football and I'm watching these games, and as a Steeler fan, my team was in the playoffs. I looked at these teams, and I'm like, my boys weren't even playing the same sport as the teams that are left here, save for the 49ers, who just got trounced because it wasn't fair. They were. I mean, they literally are a mass unit. All birds, morning sickness. Disgusting. They smell, they're sticky. They say things that are horrible. Holmberg's morning sickness. The Seattle Seahawks are playing a football game that I did not recognize because what I watched all year was subpar. The Bears were playing. The Rams are playing at a level. The Patriots. That Bills, Broncos get. That's. Those were teams that I.

[B]

That.

[C]

That was just better than what I've seen. Cardinal fans. What are you even watching? It's like, it's. You might as well watch Pop Warner soccer. Feed that man your boogers. So the girl I saw on the freeway yesterday who had her. Never seen it. Had her thumb in her nostril. She was thumb picking. Like, I can do it, but, I mean, come on. I can park a Hyundai in this thing. But she had pulled it forward, too. Her nose was stretching out like Cyrano. And I'm next to her in a. And I'm looking like, Jesus. No pride.

[B]

She look at you?

[C]

No, she was deep. She was. I think she thought, like, she was like the lost Dutchman Windfall Willie from the lottery. She was picking and digging. Get her over there to pull one.

[B]

Pulled out a five or six.

[C]

Yeah, you had a Wade, you know, Feed that to Michael Bidwell. Save those thumbnails, picker. I've never seen a thumbnail pick by a woman before. Dudes will do the sideways thing. We just clear the. Clear the. You know, the cave's entrance. Yeah, but I've never seen anybody go thumb in first like, she was deep. Feed those to Michael Bidwell. Every Cardinal fan should be on board with my program, not just My program, Hubbard broadcasting's feed Michael Bidwell boogers. Brought to you by. Brought to you by ownership of Hubbard broadcast. I'll just say that all of us. All of us are on board. How could they be against me? They can't. Probably have to do a disclaimer later. But right now, we're all on the same page. I think we're all on the same page. And I love that Toledo hasn't run in and go. The views and opinions of Joan ohberg. No, shut up. The views and opinions of John olberg are everybody. Find me anyone in this city that goes, I love him. One person. He's been great. Like, Jerry Jones will at least say, yeah, the old man's lost it, but we still get a lot from him. Find me one person in the city that says, oh, man, that Michael Bidwell. Where would we be without him? Feed that man your boogers, Baristas. Wipe it on that white cup top. Just gross. The house I have over here, the rental house, the dude that lived in it before when I bought it was a renter. His mom died, and he was a. He was. What do they call those? A stay at home son. I guess he was. He was. He wasn't doing much of much.

[A]

I call him scumbag.

[C]

So he thought he had inherited the home. And then it's like, no. And so my buddy Sam, make a wish. Sam bought it. And then he's like, I'm not gonna have time to flip this. So I bought it off of Sam, and Sam was letting the guy live there. Rent back for dirt. And he thought that was going to be the same deal with me. But I'm like, no, you got to go. What do you mean I got. It's my mom's house. I'm like, no, you. A, you can't. You're done. And b, like, sam was making your rent. I don't want you to rent. I'm gonna reno it. So he wrote his name in the last two weeks. He was there on the front wall in boogers and blood.

[A]

Oh, class act.

[C]

Yeah. And we didn't know what it was, but he had written words on the wall in boogers. That's what he did with his time.

[A]

His last two weeks.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And you're like, what in the. And you recognize boogers and blood on a wall? Like, immediately. It's like, this is disgusting. And then I'm like, I gotta give it to him, though, because he didn't take any of this time being industrious and trying to find a job. This took a lot of work. I mean, we're talking foot and a half, long letters.

[B]

He had time.

[C]

He. He. Well, he didn't. He did have time.

[A]

It's like Van Gogh of South Scottsdale there, man.

[C]

It wasn't pretty. Yeah, it was. It was booger art and I hated him. But right now, boy, could I use him to follow Michael Bidwell around and hand over some of those boogers. The big, you know, fu, that was written right as you walk in the door. And it wasn't like I cut my thumb and wrote in blood like. Like, you know, Manson's. It didn't say, like pigs and stuff like that. It said his name at FU and it was slimy, dry.

[B]

You could rent it back, man.

[C]

Yeah, that was, you know what I. And he. What did he think? That he's like, the new guy's gonna now he'll see. And then I should have called him gone. Boy, I didn't realize how mad you were until I saw those boogers. You want the house back? Like he thought that would win me over.

[A]

Mad respect, bro.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. No, I really. I didn't realize you were gonna get me like that. That I'm spinning. I got respect.

[A]

You.

[C]

Yeah, you're a good dad probably. I respect you, bro, but I wrote my name in boogers on the wall. Brett got me there.

[B]

God bless.

[C]

God bless. I respect you. It says maybe Bidwell is the joker and just loves to live off people's hate. Probably goes home and burns cash and piles too. That could be. He would. You know what, though? In this day and age, if he was. That he'd. He'd send pictures of it. Him burning his money. Anyway, I want to keep doing a. Like an all day you to Bill Bidwell, but I think this booger picking campaign and just rub one on him and it doesn't have to be in his mouth or just his suit, you know? And again, it's assault to touch someone, so make it like, hey, so Farmer.

[A]

Blow while you're walking by him or something.

[C]

No, no, that's an assault. That's. He just got in the way. You didn't see him because he's short.

[B]

There you go.

[C]

Oops, I'm sorry. I didn't see the Cardinals owner there. We were talking. I know. I'm sorry. I can't see you. John Cena can't see you. Yeah, fake sneeze on him.

[B]

Do like.

[C]

Do like from Chasing Amy and give him a stink palm. Reach down into the crack of your ass and shake his hand. That Kind of stuff. I'm highly encouraging it. And there's probably some legality to this, but I don't care. It's time someone did something. Something. Oh, geez. That's it. Yeah. Every time he walks by. Go to hell. Hi. A table for four. Go to hell. That door swings open, I want to hear the whole crowd. Go to hell. Jesus Christ. The second you recognize him, don't say, is that Michael Bidwell? Just go to hell. Even if you think it's him. And to people who look a little bit like him, when you get used to this. Not him. Not if it's close. I understand what you're doing, though. I get it all the time. I feel sorry for dudes who look like him. That's got to be rough. And he's got to walk in. I'd move. I'd move away. If I look like Michael Bidwell, I'd move away like, I can't live here. Everybody hates me.

[B]

They always confuse me.

[C]

My name's Todd Staley. I'm not. I'm sorry. I'm not. I don't believe you. Go to hell. Yeah, it's terrible. It's terrible. Brady's probably not for my booger picking idea, but give me a thumbs up on it. Stand behind it. Come on. Get behind my Brady. Hate Brett. You with me?

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Brett's here.

[A]

Oh, yeah. And I don't even care about the Cardinals.

[C]

I don't either. I hate them.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You with me? He's on board. Hi, Richard. Two thumbs up, Brady. You're the last. Your last one standing. And make it a unanimous vote to put boogers on Bill Bid or Michael Bidwell. Come on, man. It's okay. It's okay. Everyone hates him, Brady. Oh, even God chimes in.

[B]

I'm more like Jay Cutler in this deal.

[C]

Oh, boo. Boo to you. That's emotionless. That's dead inside.

[B]

You're right. There's a part that something needs to be done.

[C]

Be dead inside. Come on, man. People are sending me this guy. Says the girl that had her thumb in the nose, Are you sure it wasn't a Seinfeld episode where she was just scratching, not picking? Did she. She was not scratching. Her nose was moving.

[B]

She was scratching the inside.

[C]

Yeah, like in Seinfeld. He's talking about the episode where Jerry does a. It was just a probing. He didn't pick. It's not a pig. Not a pig. No pig. And he lost the model. This girl's nose was forward, and the only thing in there was the thumb. And it was. She had something big in there.

[B]

Probably a nice long nail too, to scrape it.

[C]

I don't know. She looked like one of those. Gotta play with herself a lot. Probably doesn't do a lot of. Never trust a girl with short nails. Yeah, she keeps them trim. Girl with too short of nails, nobody wants to touch it. You gotta do it herself. She's DIY downstairs. Anyway, I digress. Cardinal fans, I'm here for you. I might be the only one not getting this over to Arizona Sports. That's for sure. Bickley would be for it. I know he would. I could text him right now. Bickley, let's join forces. I had dinner with Bickley's boss the other day, Scott Sutherland. I think if I told him, I'm like, look, Sutherland's on. He wants you to do this campaign with us. We're gonna team up Bonneville and Hubbard to rub boogers on Michael Bidwell. I think that's a huge. Get enough media outlets behind this, maybe he'll start to change.

[B]

Suits.

[C]

But in the meantime, stuff that can.

[B]

Wash this stuff off.

[C]

Enjoy. What I predict is the next announcement coming out of Cardinals camp. Cardinals are introducing their new head coach, Matt Nagy. Have fun with that. Yeah, have fun with it.

[A]

Lived it. Yep, I know all about it.

[C]

Or Eber. Fl something terrible heading.

[A]

DZ needs to go over there.

[C]

Derek Zellner's got some health issues. He had to step down in a high school football, but he's still even DZ in hospice if he goes that far. And I hope that's not true. Would be a better coach because he's got at least a brain cell. I hope he's well though. DCs. Yeah, he'll cure. What? Whatever it is DZ's got will get cured by DZ's body.

[A]

Oh yeah.

[C]

DZ is the man. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? A good one to start off this Tuesday, this glorious three day weekend that went by. It was an awesome one. We need more three day weekends. Let's scream it together. It's 98 KUPD. Wake up. Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.
