It's John Holmberg here, seeing clear as a bell, thanks to my friends at the Schwartz Laser Eye Center. Well, here we are looking at a brand new year. Can you see yourself in 2026? Can you see it all? I mean, really, maybe in 2026 you should see yourself seeing. Fix those eyes. Vision changes are gradual. You might not even know how bad it's gotten. I know. That was my story. So start the new year by seeing clearly. Visit Dr. Jay Schwartz and his team at the Schwartz Laser Eye Center, 480-43-Eyes Schwartz Laser Eye center, the official eye center for your Diamondbacks and sons. You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? JB's the man. I like having him in here. Little pencil mustache. He says I should grow.
Al
I'm interested. I think it'll be better than.
John Holmberg
I'll try it.
Al
I think it's gonna be better than the. The Johnny Cakes one.
John Holmberg
I had the. Yeah, I had the fireman mustache for a little bit and I looked super gay.
Mark
You got a lot of comments on.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. By comments, you mean slurs. That's one way to say loads of comments.
Mark
Johnny Cakes one back.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Mark
In the Bronco.
John Holmberg
I did like it. Oh, yeah. Well, again, let's clarify with Mark.
Al
Somebody asked.
John Holmberg
Fine. Well, what I'm saying, Mark's the only one. I can't have. That Johnny Cakes mustache was immediately bad.
Al
Somebody asked yesterday earlier in email, but we changed subjects. Any comments yesterday with Market?
John Holmberg
No.
Al
At Barrett Jackson?
John Holmberg
No.
Al
Did you guys take the Bronco?
John Holmberg
No, we waymoed over.
Al
Okay.
Mark
All right.
John Holmberg
And he was late. He showed up late. We did have a. We did have him over. Anthony. Anthony has a beautiful watch. And we're standing there looking at cars and Talking about. I forgot what. We're talking about something. And. And Anthony's. Somebody came. Oh, first off, a girl went up and said, oh, it's like a Rolex Daytona something. And he goes, oh, she goes, that's a beautiful watch. She named what it was and goes, oh, most people don't even, like, recognize that particular shit. Oh, it's fantastic. And so liked his watch a lot. And then we're wandering around, and then these guys come up and they've got this big camera. It's like we're wondering about. We were just curious if we could talk to you a little bit about something. I'm like, anthony didn't know anything about cars. Why are they picking him out? And Anthony's like, sure, I don't know anything about this ride. But he says that, no, we're not interested in that. We're interested in your watch. And so me and Jeff. Dr. Jeff walked away and said, what do you think the first question should be? How many men have you today wearing that watch? Because we were like, that was the most brilliant British thing you could do. This is an announcement. Should it have a rainbow flag behind it, I believe. And so he turned down the interview. But, yeah, he got it. I think Mark was clear. I don't think he got any. Any eyes turned towards him. Maybe. Maybe a couple. But I didn't hear it like we do when we're in the car. But, yeah, the Johnny Kicks Mustache doesn't.
Mark
He got outbid on that Miata? It was.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that Miata was nice, though. $3200.
Al
I still see the videos up in the. In the. The entrance. Entrance way when they're playing videos of the different stations. And there's a couple of you still in there with the Johnny Cakes stack.
John Holmberg
With the Johnny Cakes mustache. The Johnny Cakes mustache was. What do you mean? Jesus, The Johnny Cakes was awesome. I'm great with that.
Al
I thought it was the KUPD one, but it must have been on the Al.
John Holmberg
KDK Grow back. We could do that. Pencil. State mustache. Go back to Johnny Cakes. Get yourself some Johnny Cakes. Go back, Johnny Cakes. That's what you got to do. That's what I will do. I'm going, Johnny Cakes. I'm not doing pencil. I'm gonna shave off the Johnny Cakes.
Al
And take the Bronco out with Mark. And we need a video of this too.
John Holmberg
All right. We're gonna get raped.
Mark
That'll be on radio. That'll be a couple video. Yeah.
John Holmberg
Don't wait up. Be careful out there.
Mark
Standing. Oh, standing Tall bronco.
John Holmberg
All right. I'm gonna grow it out. One thing JB Smooth says I need to do is grow a little mustache with the edges. I'll try it. He's smooth. His fashion is ridiculous.
Al
That was the first thing you said when he walked in.
John Holmberg
What are you wearing? He looked fantastic.
Thriller
It was just.
John Holmberg
It's too early to look that good. Anyway, it's time for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our friends over at the Schwartz Laser Eye Center. You want your eyesight to be better. You want it to be perfect. If you can get it there and. And the only place that can get you close is the Schwartz Laser Eye Center. You can get on this thing. If you're squinting again, do my test. Look at the car in front of you. Can you read the license plate? If you are squinting, if you're straining, if you're trying to read the license plate, you probably need your eyes checked out. They'll do lasik. They've got the clear lens exchange. They got the all the stuff that they can do to make your eyesight better. If you're tired of glasses and you're tired of contacts and you're tired of squinting and you're trying to figure it all out, do like what I did and head on over there and get your vision back to great. And again, it's the difference between LED lights and old light bulbs. You will see a massive change when you get this done. If you do the lens exchange, if you do the lasik, you're cheating yourself every time you squint. Get those things fixed and get your complimentary consult at one of their three locations. They are the team eye doctor for the Suns and the Diamondbacks. Let them be yours as well. Schwartz Laser Eye Center. Teamidoc.com Brady Entertain Me Sinners broke the.

No, I didn't think. It's like one of the greatest movies ever, which is what the awards would. It's good.
Mark
Yeah.

John Holmberg
It's about time.
Mark
He said he was open. It was an educational part point talking about it with his son. Said his son laughed really hard.
John Holmberg
Should had Eugene Levy come over dad.
Mark
He goes, you did a pretty good job acting.
John Holmberg
There was an acting son.
Mark
So the 7 year old's not ready for it yet.
John Holmberg
But.
Mark
The other one, Jason Siegel, talked about his full frontal and forgetting Sarah Marshall. He brought his parents there for the premiere. His mom started crying because it's so. And she got up and left. Then she. Because she was just like, oh, because.
John Holmberg
This little willie was me of dad. Then she said, now everyone knows.
Mark
She ended up writing the relatives a letter. Oh, I assure you that this is not a gratuitous thing. It's essential to the plot.
John Holmberg
Right.
Mark
FYI wants to know.
John Holmberg
It was a funny moment and a very vulnerable character being extremely vulnerable.
Al
She said, see his bank account.
John Holmberg
Yeah, exactly. And that was the worst part of it was that when you're. When you're naked and your mom starts crying, she's. She feels bad. What she did. What she did you. She did you dirty.
Mark
Did you see the new Masters of the Universe trailer?
John Holmberg
He man's back again. Are they gonna let me do the voice this time? Is Kevin Smith.
Mark
I don't know. That's what I was looking. I didn't. So eventually Fox News must have exploded because in the trailer that dropped, he man has an office job. And the name plaque says he. Him has his name. What's he man's name? It's Adam.
Al
Adam. Yeah.
Mark
Yeah. Prince Adam.
John Holmberg

He man was an awesome again. Kevin Smith redid it a few. I offered to do all the voices for free.
Mark
Yeah. And I thought this might have been his deal. Did, did that movie ever come out?
John Holmberg
Yes, it was a full six part series on some streaming service. You're right, he was. And then he came back and I said I told you I would do all of them free. And then he said, do Skeletor. Done. I did him. And he goes, oh man. Like yeah, I told you, Dumb dumb.
Mark
That's when he, he didn't use you. You're like, come on.

Mark
Speaking of Fox News, Kid Rock stirred up the nation. Fox News liberal folks. Because he's talking about the reason why our birth rate is down in the.
John Holmberg
US because liberal women are ugly. Yeah. Yeah.
Al
That's one way to put it.
John Holmberg
Is it cursey?
Al
No.
John Holmberg
Okay. Kid Rock, the voice of generation somehow in America.
Kid Rock
And it all made sense to me. It just hit me right now because who's going to sleep with these ugly, ass broke, crazy, deranged tds liberal women? I mean you look at these rall. It's like a bunch of women that no guy wants to sleep with and a bunch of dudes that want to sleep with each other.
Michael
Have you seen what comey and you.
John Holmberg
Know we have this.
Al
He's not too far off.
John Holmberg
Every time I look at those protests.
Mark
It'S going down the line and punching.
John Holmberg
As a guy, as a guy who lives in the middle, I look at protests. I very rarely see a protester that's attractive either side. When the Tea party was going crazy for a while, I'm like, oh, that's a group of weird people. I don't want to hang out with anybody that's got a that kind of time and is that angry at air. They just yell and it's 2 degrees. It's like 30 below in Minnesota, they're protesting today.
Al
What a bunch of morons. I don't believe in anything that much.
John Holmberg
I have, in this weather, nothing in my life that means that much to me, that if it drops below 40, I'm not. I'm not going to be that. I'm going to be angrier at being cold than I am at whatever I was mad at. I can't do it. I mean, literally, Al Qaeda could come and take over, be like, oh, let's wait till, like, spring, and we're gonna get mad, but not now.
Mark
In the past, I don't know, 10 years, has any of the protesting worked?
John Holmberg
No, not a thing. Well, because it's 50. 50?
Mark
Yeah. So it's.
John Holmberg
One half is screaming one thing, one half screaming the other, and then they just yell until they get tired or it gets too cold, and then they go home. Nothing got fixed. Absolutely. You're right. Nothing.
Mark
I guarantee you things get wrecked.
John Holmberg
Oh, stuff gets destroyed. And then people have arguments for years over, remember when you did that? And then when your side tries to do it, I just don't understand how you can be on either side and you just can't shake your head logically and go, ugh, I'm just gonna mind my own business. If everybody did that, the world would be a better place. Just do your own thing. And then nobody will care. She gets so riled up over silly stuff to run around in streets and then go home and go, like, what happened? Absolutely nothing. It's too cold.
Mark
The Eagles greatest hits album is the first album to hit 40 million sold copies.
John Holmberg
Man, that's pretty good. It's a big. It's a big album.
Mark
And it's a 50th anniversary.
John Holmberg
And that's the other thing. Like Kid Rock's thing. He's not wrong. Like most. Most of the ladies who are loud and on those videos are very unattractive, but they are the one. People get mad when he says that then. But they're always screaming about how maga tards and ugly hillbillies and white toxic this, that, and the other. I'm like, yeah, you're right. Like, you're all ugly. You should. They should date each other. By the way, there's a. This guy took a picture, said this was in Gilbert on Tuesday. It's like nine white people that just have wake up and smell the fascism abolish ice signs. Bunch of whites. Ugly white people.
Mark
Buddy of mine sent me who's gonna clean your house article from my high school in Columbus ua. Over a hundred students didn't show up for school.
John Holmberg
Well, that's because anytime you give kids the right to not show up to school, I'm for whatever.
Al
And those protests and those professors don't care.
John Holmberg
No. Still getting paid.
Mark
Doc Martens is doing a collaboration with Metallica. They're doing a boot collection and shoe collection with the. Using the 80s artwork that Metallica had.
John Holmberg
Yeah. When we had our MILF contest and they put that note out from high up that said, if you're uncomfortable with having the beauty contest upstairs, we'll give you a free day off. Doug. Doug Fairchild, who's the biggest pervert in the building, took the day off before he came in here. And it was like, see, Even Doug was offended. And I'm like, no, no, no. You guys said, there's an open door. You get a free vacation day. You think people want to come in.
Al
But he demanded pictures.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And he was watching online the whole time. But then we had to stop because no one showed up to work that day except us and the milfs. That was great. You missed out on those. Thriller. You never saw a MILF contest, did you? Son of a.
Al
Let's bring it back.
John Holmberg
I don't want to. Because at this point, we could bring.
Al
Ken Rock out here to be a judge.
John Holmberg
Oh. If we could manage Bob Richie and that would work. We'd have to have like a huge prize to get good ones.
Mark
Phil Collins share the News. He turned 75 next week. He is now has a 24 hour live in Nurse to make sure he.
Al
Takes what's wrong with him again.
Mark
But pull up a picture. I think they showed this picture. I'm like, if that's living nurse.
FanDuel Announcer
All right.
John Holmberg
He's got a nice living nurse. He's. Does he have Louis body? He's got some sort of a. Yeah, he. It's.
Mark
Not to mention feelings in the hand. So he can't.
John Holmberg
Neurological.
Mark
Yeah. Can't hold a drumstick.
John Holmberg
It's not like it's like a form of Parkinson's or.
Mark
Where is it?
John Holmberg
Brett will find it.
Al
What he's sick of.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Well, I don't know.
Al
Let's see.
Mark
Sustained a spinal injury in 2007. The damaged vertebrae in his upper neck caused lasting nerve damage that makes him unable to hold a drumstick.
John Holmberg
I thought he was sick.
Mark
Well, he pretty much says, I've. Anything that could go wrong went wrong. I got coveted in a hospital. My kidney started to back up. Everything started to go.
John Holmberg
He's a mess.
Mark
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Getting bonked in the back. But he's got a hot living Nurse.
Mark
Now, I had five operations on my knee. Now I've got a knee that work works. And I. I can walk, but I need crutches.
John Holmberg
Yeah, he's a mess. I like what Tom just emailed me. Every protester is a weirdo. I think that's true. We should protest. Protesters go down there and just a bunch of decent looking people just going, you're too ugly to be outside.
Mark
Well, there's where the problem happens. Then the fighting starts.
John Holmberg
That's fine. That's what they want. Beautiful people. Against protesting. I can't be part of it, but I can. I can start it. I can help you guys. I can organize that. Be like Obama. Anyway, it's 9. 28. We got ourselves a Guadalupe squares on Friday morning to get through. We'll get you through it, get you guys out.
Al

You're gonna like this thriller. So just about time for the Guadalupe squares. Before we get to that, I got one. Like, I got one thing. We'll take a break after that, but I got an email from a lady that said she has a neurodivergent daughter. 22. Yeah, don't, don't.
Thriller
Okay, okay.
Al
It's getting creepy.
John Holmberg
And she's like, is Thriller taken?
Thriller
I would need more information than just that.
John Holmberg
But what do you need? You need pictures, photos.
Thriller
You gotta know who she is as a person, not just she's 20 and alive.
John Holmberg
She's neurodivergent. What more do you need to know? Very focused.
Thriller
Being on the spectrum is your focus, though. You love that stuff.
John Holmberg
I do love that stuff. I'm not dating somebody on this spectrum. What's wrong with you? Just. She offered up her daughter. I thought it was a nice thing.
Thriller
I. I'd rather the person offer themselves up and not be half their parents. Oh, well, then moms do that.
John Holmberg
Too shy.
Thriller
Oh, too shy. How convenient.
John Holmberg
Shy. She's very sweet. Oh, sure. I don't know. You want pictures is what you're. Yeah.
Thriller
Really? No.
John Holmberg
You don't care about pictures. What if she's really hot? Good for her. Oh, man. What were you saying?
Mark
Why not?
Al
Boy, what a picture.
John Holmberg
Jesus.
Thriller
I want someone doing.
John Holmberg
I want a. I want to see what she looks like, too. So. All right.
Al
Some pictures of d. Toledo and 98 KUPD.
John Holmberg
Well, she'll send them right back to me. Yeah, her name is Randy, if I remember right. I can't remember. What's the email? I just remember getting it and thinking, you know what? I'll ask. She's not like, crazy, huh? She's just got a little spectrum thing. She's a little shy.
Mark
She's like.
John Holmberg
Is Thriller available? Simple question. Is Thriller available?
Thriller
I'm available.
John Holmberg
Yes. Aren't there? That's all we needed to know. And what is your type? You like them thick and juicy?
Thriller
Not really.
John Holmberg
Yeah, a little bit of small.
Mark
Little Asians. Yeah, it's you chasing some big.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you like a. You like a Brady? Brady size?
Mark
Yeah, I'd be right in your wheelhouse.
John Holmberg
Brady had longer hair. Oh, yeah. You put a vagina on that guy.
Mark
I'm feeling the energy.
Al
I can see Cook and everything else. I mean, man, what else can you ask?
John Holmberg
Weird wedding picture.
Mark
Oh, yeah.
Thriller
Wake up the next morning, you see Brady's face.
John Holmberg
Oh, that's. I'm sorry for that.
Al
That's a little too far now.
John Holmberg
All right. Anyway, well, I just wanted to put the offer out there. You turned it down. I wasn't expecting that. I thought you'd jump.
Thriller
You can still send pictures. We could see.
John Holmberg
All right, so it's more pictures than it is personality.
Thriller
Well, you know, both of the pictures.
John Holmberg
Is a good start, but we'll start with pictures. If the pictures are good, you'll go out with her.
Thriller
I can't guarantee that.
John Holmberg
Why not?
Mark
We'll pay for it.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, it's covered.
Thriller
I would rather we just meet naturally and not have to get the whole parent.
John Holmberg
This is natural. This is not a Notebook Pals. Yeah. How are you doing on your plan?
Thriller
I'm doing fine on the apps. I'm going through them.
John Holmberg
All right. That's not natural.
Thriller
When was the last natural?
John Holmberg
It's a little natural, but at this point it's natural.
Al
Well, this is just as natural as that.
John Holmberg
Exactly.
Al
Finding somebody you don't know.
John Holmberg
Exactly.
Thriller
But when you do the services on the apps, though, no one's parents are involved. That's very strange.
John Holmberg
I want to cook it. Can I get.
Thriller
When you nail her, you can cook. Yes.
Mark
I had a question. If you naturally met a girl and you hit it off, what would you do? What would be your first date?
Thriller
First date, let's say. Well, you just do like, you know, drinks, like a coffee shop, whatever. Get to know who they are first.
Al
Sure.
Thriller
Go for, like, a fancier, you know, dinner for the first real date, and then go from there.
John Holmberg
She's kind of. Get to know her.
Thriller
Yeah.
Mark
So you do it.
Thriller
Try to weed out the crazy early on.
John Holmberg
Right. Like you do something fun.
Thriller
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Maybe throw axes or something. Nah, you shouldn't do that.
Thriller
No.
John Holmberg
Why not? Well, your balance isn't good.
Thriller
Well, my arms are fine.
John Holmberg
Yeah, but if you go off balance, then your arms are fine.
Al
You're throwing it.
Mark
I wouldn't do any extremes.
Al
Brady's first pitch.
John Holmberg
Yeah, Brady's first pitch. Oh, you want to do a first pitch this year?
Thriller
That'd be funny. I wouldn't mind that.
John Holmberg
Let's get him out there for a first pitch. Thriller from kupd.
Thriller
That'd be very funny.
John Holmberg
Oh, all right. We're working. We'll get that guy. No, he can't throw a rope. Use a rope. Can't throw a rope. We got the Guadalupe Squares coming up next. The girl, the guy are on the line. We've got those ready to go. We're giving away Death punch tickets. We'll do that next. Try to get Thriller engaged before it's over. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.
Date: January 23, 2026
Episode: Entertainment Drill - FRI - Jason Biggs, Kid Rock, and More
Hosts: John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo, with guest "Thriller"
This episode of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness features the crew riffing on the latest and strangest bits of entertainment news, including Jason Biggs’ questionable parenting moment, Kid Rock’s theory on America’s declining birth rate, cringeworthy parental moments involving star nudity, He-Man’s new job (and pronouns), and an unusual matchmaking request for co-host Thriller. True to the show’s irreverent, unfiltered style, the team unpacks celebrity antics, cultural absurdities, and personal confessions with sharp wit and memorable one-liners.
The episode is a rapid-fire exchange of pop culture news, outrageous opinions, and unscripted off-color humor, with the crew often poking fun at each other and spinning wild hypothetical scenarios. The original irreverence and banter are preserved, showcasing the group’s chemistry and sharp comedic timing.
If you want a stroll through the strangest bits of showbiz, the joys and horrors of internet culture, and the best (and worst) of unsolicited parental advice, this episode is a classic HMS roast.
