Episode Overview

This episode of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness dives headfirst into two unexpectedly hilarious and revealing topics: the viral headlines over WNBA star Sophie Cunningham’s on-air herpes admission, and an avalanche of listener feedback on the show’s smoke detector sound effects, including a particularly memorable email from a listener named Davis. Packed with banter, cultural commentary, and trademark irreverence, the crew unpacks media sensationalism, social stereotypes, and the everyday annoyances that unite us all (like that damned smoke detector chirp).

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Sophie Cunningham & The Herpes Admission (01:26–06:39)

• The "Herpes" Bombshell

  • Bret brings up that Sophie Cunningham, highly regarded as one of the most attractive players in the WNBA, "went on a podcast yesterday and said she has herpes."
    • “I have to straighten this out because the news is out there now, and I don't know if I can. I might contact lawyers. ...Sophie Cunningham went on a podcast yesterday and said she has her feet. So now you guys know. I do, too.” – (01:26, Bret, tongue-in-cheek)
  • John and Bret lampoon the clickbait:
    • “The headlines say, Sophie Cunningham stuns and divides fans with herpes admission.” – John (02:46)
  • The reveal is anticlimactic and commonsense: She had a cold sore, which literally is herpes (simplex), but headlines play it up.
    • “Sophie had a cold sore, which is herpes.” – John (02:56)
    • Co-hosts note that shingles and chickenpox are also herpes viruses, demystifying the stigma.
    • Explains the difference between oral “herpes” (cold sores) and genital herpes, calling out tabloid-style reporting.

• Media Sensationalism and Overreaction

  • Bret points out the harm in misleading headlines and jokes about mass panic among Sophie’s presumed recent partners—
    • “How funny would it be if you did know a guy who’d been bragging to you, ‘I was with Sophie Cunningham a couple weeks ago,’ and then this comes out? The next day, his phone would ring immediately.” – Bret (04:46)
  • John: “Big deal. They sell a Breva at Walgreens for that very reason.” (04:42)

• Herpes Stigma & Honesty

  • Panel agrees most people carry some strain of herpes and joke about how dating would work if everyone announced their cold sores.
  • “It’s like having a period, only it’s not as consistent. You got to tell people at any moment now this could happen.” – Bret (06:05)

---

2. Smoke Alarm Stereotypes & Listener Backlash (06:42–17:32)

• The Davis Email (07:12–08:08)

  • John reads an email from a listener, Davis, who finds most jokes hilarious but can’t handle the recurring smoke alarm sound effect—
    • “Your cracker ass with that damn chirp sound is gonna be the last of me. ... My mother never fixed it. I changed the batteries in my smoke alarm every two months. …You found my line. You made me write you a letter complaining about you being a racist. You big nose liberal juke Huck Stern wannabe. I can't quit you. Sign, Davis.” – (07:12)
  • Everyone cracks up over how universally annoying the chirp is and how it transcends race, yet maintains cultural stereotypes.

• Discussing the "Smoke Alarm Chirp" Stereotype

  • The crew riffs on the stereotype that smoke alarm beeps are a “Black household” thing:
    • John: “White people just take it down. Right when it starts chirping, you can't figure it out. We just disconnect them.” (09:24)
    • “I'd rather house burned down than listen to that all night.” – John (09:41)
  • They recount stories about friends’ apartments and how different cultures handle the noise:
    • “My friend Tony was the first one, ...just allowed it. I didn’t know it was somewhat universal.” – Bret (17:33)
  • Jokes about rap music using the smoke detector beep as a beat, and the universal struggle to locate and silence chirping alarms.

• White Folks' Approach: Just Take 'Em Down

  • John and Bret laugh about keeping de-installed smoke alarms in a kitchen drawer, “wires hanging out of the ceiling.”
    • “That’s the white move. I gotta hand it to the black people; they just let it go. Yeah, it’ll happen—I get used to it as I turn up the radio.” – Bret (16:43)
  • Houses as “gas covered” due to lack of functional detectors.

• Universal Annoyance and How Everyone Copes

  • "Pay your insurance" becomes a joking catchall:
    • “And the odds of you burning your own house down are very minimal. Just, you know, do what most white people do.” – John (16:10)

---

Memorable Quotes & Laugh-Out-Loud Moments

• Bret’s faux-reveal about Sofie Cunningham

  • "Other than when we exchange herpes…” (02:26—Bret, joking)

• On tabloid headlines:

  • “You can’t just say, ‘Sophie Cunningham has herpes.’ That’s clickbait.” – John (03:21)

• The Davis Email:

  • “Your cracker ass with that damn chirp sound is gonna be the last of me. …You found my line. You made me write you a letter complaining about you being a racist… I can’t quit you. Sign Davis.” – (07:12)

• On smoke alarms:

  • “White people just take it down… If place isn’t on fire and it’s warning me, it’s just annoying. So I’m getting rid of it.” – John (16:10)
  • “All rap music should be on the beat of the smoke detector.” – Bret (16:43)

The episode blends raunchy morning radio humor with cultural satire and a knack for finding joy—and comedy—in life’s minor humiliations and social stigma. Regulars banter with easy chemistry and spike the show with self-deprecating commentary, affectionate teasing, and boundary-pushing humor (in the classic 98KUPD style).

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

You thought that was funny?

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

You were laughing like a hyena when he said it.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

What the hell is wrong with you?

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Getting emails from people. And I just saw two, and I want to clear it up.

[John Holmberg]

Now.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

You guys know something about me that you shouldn't, and it's not my doing, but I have to straighten this out because the news is out there now, and I don't know if I can. I might contact lawyers. I don't know what I'm going to do, but this has been leaked out, and I've been trying to keep it under wraps. Sophie Cunningham went on a podcast yesterday and said she has her feet. So now you guys know. I do, too. I mean, it's just not. I mean, it's not. Now everybody knows, and so does Dua Lipa. Yeah, but, oh, my God, I'm spread. Jesus. Yeah, because it's real to me. Damn it. So here's the thing. Sophie Cunningham, the, like, by far prettiest girl in the WNBA contest, There's a couple of them in there that you could add in. We. We give them a bad rap. There's a Don't do it.

[Host]

Don't know. I'm gonna. Now I gotta find it hottest.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Sophie's very pretty and she's super sweet.

[John Holmberg]

And she did The Sun's broadcast, and.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

I don't know her well by any stretch. I mean, other than when we exchange herpes. But Kevin Ray and I sat down with them and we've had talks, and she's incredibly nice. I like Sophie a lot from the little exchanges I've had with her. She went on a podcast yesterday and.

[John Holmberg]

Said out loud, I've got herpes.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

And everybody starts goofing on the podcast.

[John Holmberg]

Well, the headlines say, sophie Cunningham stuns.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

And divides fans with herpes admission. And you're like, oh, boy.

[John Holmberg]

Then she said, if you listen, don't.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Just read the headline.

[John Holmberg]

Sophie had a cold sore, which is herpes.

[Additional Guest or Contributor]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

So are shingles and all sorts of different things. Everybody immediately saw this pretty woman and.

[John Holmberg]

Thought, oh, my God, she's got the genital herpes. Now when you got it in your.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

System, you can spread it. Yeah. I'm telling you, there's a couple.

[Host]

This is number 20 on this list.

[John Holmberg]

What?

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

That's not accurate.

[John Holmberg]

But you can't have. You have to have.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

You know, in the headline. You can't just say, sophie Cunningham has herpes. That's clickbait. No, they always make that girl the. Cameron wants her name hot. She's just not that great. There's a few of them that are ridiculously built up, but Sophie's fun. Yeah, there's some really good ones.

[Additional Guest or Contributor]

She's got one leg.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Oh, yeah, that girl Sophie's still hired the Minnesota Links girls. Hot Angel Reese is not hotter than Sophie Cunningham. That list is wrong. And you got that one from the Dallas Wings. Like the tampon has wings. The Minnesota. That's the Minnesota Links girl I was thinking about.

[Host]

Okay. Yeah, she's not bad.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Miriam. What's her name? Miriam something Badiani. I don't know. But yeah, she's good. Paige Buckers is not hotter than Sophie Cunningham.

[John Holmberg]

Although with the herpes headlines, maybe she dropped a few dumps way down.

[Host]

This chick.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

No, she not even play. She's French. She not even playing. That place for the Liberty. Elizabeth Kitley for the Aces. There's a couple of good ones in there. You got some good ones. But bottom line is, this is. I would sue if I was in. Because all the headlines say Sophie Cunningham has herpes. Nobody associates bad herpes with a cold sore. Almost everybody's gotten a cold sore at one point or another.

[John Holmberg]

Big deal. They sell a Breva at Walgreens for that very reason.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

They're not selling the ones for your genitals over the thing. But. So everybody who's flipping out Over Sophie Cunningham having herpes. You can calm down, but don't judge me now that you know I also have it since Sophie announced our problem. It's terrible. Sophie should have consulted with me. But how funny would it be if you did know a guy who'd been bragging to you? And yeah, I was with Sophie Cunningham a couple weeks ago where we had a good time. Like, oh, man, lucky. That's great. Good for you guys. Good dating. I don't know if we're dating. I think we're just physically involved and having loads of sex. And then this comes out. The next day, his phone would ring immediately.

[Host]

How's the bumps, pal?

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

How is it down there?

[John Holmberg]

Any of them weeping?

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

It's a canker. Sores. Got a cold sore. Big whoop. People get cold sores now and again, and it is a form of herpes. But there's like.

[John Holmberg]

So I think, aren't the chickenpox a form of herpes?

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

All that stuff is. We all kind of have that in our system. It's just don't go spreading it around, that's all. And if you've got the herps and there's a lot of out there with it, you're fine.

[John Holmberg]

Just don't go trying to bang.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

It's like having a period, only it's not as consistent. You got to tell people at any moment now this could happen. Keep cool when it flares, and then.

[John Holmberg]

When you got something brewing, just, you know, keep it under.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Have a weekend binging, some Netflix. That's all. Nobody needs to know that. But if you got one on your lip, big deal. But he got them all over, and I'm talking about your face, lips, ladies. I don't want to get crazy. Be smart, Brett. You're going to like this. Do you have, like a. Like a. A rap bed? Like a no music kind of?

[Host]

Yeah, give.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Was there one in your. In your old file in here?

[Host]

I don't know if I have a.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Rap one, but I'll.

[Host]

I'll get you one.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Give me something real quick. It's only fitting that this happens the right way. I really don't have any urban stuff and just get me anything. Anything will work. Just. No, no lyrics. I just want to read this email I got about earlier when we were talking about Rico Blaze, and we had the, you know, the sound effect that is, you know, this. That's perfect. Thank you. Email says, holmberg, God damn you.

[John Holmberg]

There's literally nothing about you that bothers me. I find your jokes and stereotypes hilarious. And as a Black man, you can do chicken, watermelon, fat white bitches, Old English, gotta go get smokes, whatever jokes you want, but your cracker ass with that damn chirp sound is gonna be the last of me. I grew up with that goddamn noise in my house.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

My mother never fixed it.

[John Holmberg]

I changed the batteries in my smoke alarm every two months. I will never, ever, ever be in a situation where I'm on the phone or a zoom call where my black ass is talking about that and that thing. So you did it. You found my line. You made me write you a letter complaining about you being a racist. You big nose liberal juke Huck Stern wannabe. I can't quit you. Sign Davis.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Thank you, Davis.

[John Holmberg]

It's the one that got him. Hilarious.

[Host]

That's the one everyone asks.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

And I gotta tell you, you get mad at me for the Stanton, but I'll be on you right now.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

The smoke detector deal is real.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

And you're changing them every two months, which means you're just. They last longer than that.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

But your people are so worried about it.

[John Holmberg]

Isn't that right, Red Robin? Red Robin.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

Let's. Let's.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

We have a.

[John Holmberg]

We have a live camera in Red.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Robin's house right now.

[John Holmberg]

See?

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Everywhere.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

I mean, do they not sell 9.

[John Holmberg]

Volts at Dollar General?

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

I don't understand. In other words, change you change them accordingly.

[Host]

But I just wait to say. I jumped to the scat pack, went over to the Dollar General, got my 9v.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

I don't know why it's a stereotype.

[John Holmberg]

But it is and it's hilarious.

[Additional Guest or Contributor]

Newly discovered.

[John Holmberg]

Now here's the thing, though.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

White people, you're getting away with this one because, you know, it's newly discovered that it's for me, that it's universal.

[John Holmberg]

I know I have had a couple.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Of incidents where I've been in my African American friends apartments years ago and I kept telling him his name was Tony.

[John Holmberg]

Like, Tony, you don't hear this?

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Yeah, man, I gotta fix that. And that's.

[John Holmberg]

It just went off, over.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

And I'm like.

[John Holmberg]

And white people just take it down.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Right when it starts chirping. You can't figure it out. We just disconnect them. So a lot of, A lot of white people have wires or like the, the mounting devices on there, but this thing is not attached. I have one of those in my house because I couldn't figure this thing out. New batteries.

[Host]

I'd rather house burned down and listen.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

To that all night.

[Geico Commercial Voice]

Disgusting.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

They smell, they're sticky, they say things that are Horrible.

[Geico Commercial Voice]

Hello. I'm here during the lunch rush with Janice, who owns her own food truck.

[Janice from Food Truck]

Best cheesesteaks in town.

[Geico Commercial Voice]

Janice traded up to Geico Commercial Auto Insurance for her food truck business. We're here where she needs us most.

[Janice from Food Truck]

They sure are.

[Geico Commercial Voice]

We make it so easy for her to save with customized coverage that grows with her business. Sorry, I just get so emotional talking about saving folks money.

[Janice from Food Truck]

Not this onion I'm chopping.

[Geico Commercial Voice]

It's just so beautiful. Oh, yeah. Nice.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

The onion.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Get a commercial auto insurance quote [e-mail] and see how much you could save. It feels good. To Geico Holmberg's morning sickness. I blew on that little sensor. They say there's dust on there. It'll go off. But if that's a black stereotype that finally got you. Hilarious. And you owe it to all of your friends, family members to get on that schedule. You're on of the every two months. Because there is nothing funnier than. There's that one. It's that Instagram thing going around. This guy's doing a job interview and he's sitting there and he says, really appreciate it. This looks like the resume looks great. So I noticed you didn't attach a picture. Is that a. And he's like, yeah, I think my resume speaks for itself. I think I'm more than qualified.

[John Holmberg]

All right, well, I guess we'll have a meeting.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

We'll be back to you later. It was hilarious. Anyway, so if that's a thing that we did, I. I think that's a safe one. I like it though. Sorry, Davis.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

I like when they call me the. The Howie Stern wannabe. Gives me an opportunity to introduce you to. To Red Robin.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Yum. My friend over here. Bre. And then.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

And where's Baba bastard? He's just wandering around looking for his dad.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

And it.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

It's not going to happen. In other words, Sophie Cunningham has herpes.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

And, you know, she probably runs from this sound. A teammate sound. Call me that all day. That guy remembered the exact quote. Reminded me of it. Big nosed liberal.

[Host]

So you don't even remember.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

I. I gotta. What do you call me? Big nose, liberal Jew.

[John Holmberg]

They call me a cuck.

[Host]

I thought so.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Was cuck in that?

[Host]

I thought so.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Maybe not. Let me see if I can find Davis's text email.

[John Holmberg]

Big nose liberal. I just threw it away too.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

I had it in my hand.

[Additional Guest or Contributor]

I thought it was too.

[John Holmberg]

But did he say cuck? I thought it was liberal Jew.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

I don't know. Either way. Howard Stern wannabe.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

That's exactly right. And you know what? You're not wrong. I am a Howard Stern wannabe.

[John Holmberg]

He's got summers off.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

If I could get an entire season.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

And not go to work, I'd do it now. Look, it's spring, see, in three months.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

I mean, how great is that? We just got excited over a three day weekend.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Imagine a three month weekend. Anyway, says, did you know why smoke detectors use. Detectors use nine volt batteries. Ask an intelligent listener why they use nine volts. I don't know. Is it because they asked Davis? I don't know why that is.

[Host]

That's Davis. He's got experience with changing them out. So.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

He said this is a thing we need to talk about. He says, I live in an apartment complex and the black family that lives next to me, Smuggler beeps every single minute of the day. They fixed it once, but it's starting to do it again now. When I walk by him, I don't even say hi, I just say beep. Foreign. It's fun. And Kyle just sent me a picture of his mounting device with no, that's the white people thing. Look, we can make fun of black people for having the chirp. White people just take it apart. Our houses are, they might as well be gas covered. We are. Most all of us have taken down one or more of our, of our smoke detectors because man, they've made them very technologically annoying.

[Additional Guest or Contributor]

I just replaced them about two months ago.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Mine has a brain and it's the highest, it's the highest part of the ceiling. It's the hardest one to get to. And that thing warns you when another one's got a battery issue. And so you'll go, it'll chirp. And you go to get that one to chirp and fit and you think.

[John Holmberg]

You'Re fixing that one, but it's just.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Telling you, hey, the other one's gonna start going. And then you take that apart and the other ones start going off. I almost killed myself at two in the morning once because I had a.

[John Holmberg]

Smoke detector next to the closet.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

And I got on the little ladder and I took it down. I didn't fix it. I took it down. I took the battery out and the.

[John Holmberg]

Thing was still chirping. It was like how it was like grandma after you unplug her and she.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Still breathes, but it chirped for a little bit and then it finally went away and I went to stand back up to put it back onto the mounting thing and I hit my head on the top of the closet. Whatever. The little, the cutout for the closet is the door was open in the closet. And when I stood back up, I hit the back of my head. And I was on that ladder and I just start going, well, this is it. Because I couldn't. I was going out. I smashed my head on the top of that. What do they call it, like a threshold for the eve. Whatever the top of the closet is called.

[Host]

They always go out at the worst times too.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

In the morning. Yeah.

[Host]

Well, me, when I was doing overnights, when I was. When I was renting my buddy's house when I got divorced, he had the early versions of the nest alarms.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Oh God.

[Host]

And they talk.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Yeah.

[Host]

At, you know, 9:30 in the morning, which was my time to sleep. All of a sudden I hear smoke detected in the bedroom. And I'm like, what the. I grabbed my 12 gauge, I'm like, somebody's in here. And then it's like. And then I hear it again and I'm like, mother, I'm in the bedroom.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

You imagine if that was the stereotype. They never changed that. Smoke detected in the bedroom. All right, Rico, blaze alarms. Oh, it's a five alarm fire.

[Additional Guest or Contributor]

Just replace them all.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Additional Guest or Contributor]

The problem is you never have that many 9 volts.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

No, take them down. Your house is probably not going to burn down. You'll be fine.

[Host]

Pay your insurance.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, pay insurance. And don't worry about.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

You don't live in a forest.

[John Holmberg]

And the odds of you burning your.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Own house down are very minimal. Just, you know, do like most white people do.

[John Holmberg]

Do them for the inspection. Have them in a drawer somewhere. There's a drawer.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

Our apartment downtown, the H and H ranch, Hopkins and I, Both of them are taken out and they're in a drawer in the kitchen.

[John Holmberg]

Because I went to fix that thing. There was no fixing it. There's two plugs. Batteries. I took the batteries, I changed the batteries, I plugged it back in, blew on the little sensor, put it back on there.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

A few seconds later, I'm sitting in there. I was like, ah, that'll do it.

[John Holmberg]

God damn it.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

The other one was going off, so.

[John Holmberg]

I just took that one down and then put them both back and they both started chirping.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

I'm like, if place isn't on fire and it's warning me, it's just annoying. So I'm getting rid of it. So they're in the drawers and there's wires hanging out of the ceiling. Not fixing it. That's the white move. I gotta hand it to the black people. They just let it go. Yeah, it'll happen. I get used to it as I turn up the radio, listen to their goddamn music so loud. Get rid of that chirping sound. All rap music should be on the beat of the smoke detector. Should been like two, four time. So every once in a while, do this one. It's on.

[Another Co-host or Guest (possibly Red Robin)]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

You do it with that? Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it cut out perfect.

[Co-host or Guest (possibly Brett)]

I posted. I like it anyway. Well, thank you, Davis. Thanks for listening. And I can't quit you either. Yeah, says my wife as a project manager has white employee that had the chirp for over a year on zoom calls. And they made fun of him because he's white. They just said, take it down. Ah, yeah, I've had a couple of here. My friend Tony was the first one, and that was back in the 90s at his apartment. Just. He allowed it. I didn't know it was somewhat universal. But we're not getting away with this one, crackers, because we just take them down. That's the way to do it. There you go, everybody. That. That'll help you out. The seedling birds have been solved. Just knock it down with a broom. It's a perfect thing. We got rock wars coming up a little bit. Get ready for that. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.
