John Holmberg
Morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Monday. This is the morning sickness. My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett, there's big Dick Toledo. It's 5:45. Let's go get this thing going. And oh, the excitement of watching the Chiefs and the Eagles is just pouring out of everyone once again is okay. Guess we'll watch them do this again. I suppose it's getting a little bit kind of like watching your parents make out. At first it was like, what are they doing? And then now it's like, oh, they still do that? Okay, I guess. Let's go Chiefs. I got into a discussion yesterday about the Chiefs winning again, being in there, and why it isn't Patriots hate. Now there are people out there who hate, I mean, hate the Chiefs. They're Raiders and Chargers and Broncos fans. Outside of that, maybe the Bills fans are starting to hate the Chiefs a little bit. There isn't that same feeling that, that nationwide disgust of the New England Patriots, like the only Patriots fan like the Patriots, Nobody was like, well, you know, come on, give him a break. No, you hated them. Everyone did. The Chiefs aren't that way. And I think the reason why is because we're actually watching a dynasty that isn't gaming the system. They're winning, they're earning it. At least so far, Andy Reid's not cheating. There hasn't been a scandal. And look, Patriot fans, sure, maybe calls.
Brady
Are going their way.
John Holmberg
That's every team, though. That's every single team that wins a little bit is like, well, they get all the calls. But maybe the calls do go their way. But it isn't some thing that's going to come out where a referee says, I was paid by these people to call it a certain way. I was told, you know, it's not like the way it was with the. The Patriots and the tapes and the weird stuff that followed them all the time. Their early wins, very questionable because of that whole tape scandal, which was, you know, not necessarily cheating to win the game, but getting an advantage other teams didn't have, which is, you know, not necessarily gamesmanship at a certain point. And just it always seemed like they were trying to find an angle to loophole the whole deal to win a game. And they did it. And the whole dynasty started off on the tuck rule. They changed rules later. The whole thing felt awful to all of us. Like we, you know, anybody you rooted for, it didn't matter. For some reason, Roger Goodell had the Patriots. They were gonna. They were gonna get help or they were gonna, you know, not be in trouble for anything. They said they didn't do anything wrong with the tapes. Right. None of the tapes weren't there, but yet Bill Belichick lost draft picks and had to pay like $500,000 out of his personal account. Like, if that, to me is not guilty, that's guilty. It's just a lesser sentence. I mean, if I was arrested for something and the cops are like, you didn't do it. We'll tell everybody you didn't do it. But give us $500,000 and, you know, you're going to get suspended from work for a little bit and there's going to be like, well, I thought you said I didn't do anything wrong. You didn't, but people think you did. So we're going to go ahead and it's a settlement. It's a settlement. He did it. They got busted.
Brett
Like Michael Jordan playing baseball for two years.
John Holmberg
It was a gambling. Everybody knows why he couldn't play basketball. Michael Jordan just was basically told, you can't come around here anymore. What do you want to do? I don't know. Baseball for a little bit. I'm kind of bored. I'm young. I'm an athlete. So, yeah, give it a try. It is not allowed to be in the NBA. And hopefully your father doesn't pay for this. And of course, that's exactly what happened. There was some. There was some terrible stuff that occurred. So Chiefs fans, go get him. Bills fans. I don't even know what to tell Bill's fans.
Brett
Did you check on Paul, sir?
John Holmberg
I've talked to Paul a little bit. Big time Bills fan here. We got another guy downstairs named Kevin that I've talked to several times about the Bill's chances, and it's not. Here's another thing. Hey, Bill's fans happy. Ooh, that's gonna hurt him. Believe this is the 30. This is 34, 35th anniversary. Think it's the 34th anniversary. I'll have to check real quick. Hold on. It's just the assort 34th anniversary of Scott Norwood missing the wide right kick. So yeah, Bill's, Bill's fans have a lot of those. Not a lot of super bowl celebrations, but a lot of like, oh yeah, it's the 34th anniversary of the Norwood Norwood miss. And then of course you've got the 12 seconds to touchdown thing that they did a few weeks or a few years ago against the Chiefs to lose that game in arrowhead with 12 seconds left. That one went into overtime. They've got a lot of, they've got a lot of memories of misery and to pile on to the Bills fan Happy 34th anniversary of Wide. I still can't believe his 34th anniversary. But yeah. Ouch. So anyway, go Chiefs, I suppose. Go Eagles. It hurts me personally that Steelers first round draft pick and backup quarterback now for the Eagles, Kenny Pickett is now dancing around thinking maybe he's going to get himself a Super bowl ring. Which, you know, as I've gotten older, I've met a few people with super bowl rings. Some of them aren't that impressive because it's like, well, you kind of. You were. You weren't going to get that on your own, D. No, Dale earned his. I'll give him, you know, he was probably the. He played, you know, it wasn't that said he was always there in case there were. He's a backup lineman but he was the long snapper. You never heard his name, which means he was good at it. Some of the guys get rings and you're like, oh, get a Super bowl ring. What were you. And I'm like, I was in the practice squad. I'm like, I did you participated. I. There should be a secondary ring for that. Some guys get rings if they just, you know, played on the team and then got, you know, didn't play or got traded or whatever. Like that's baseball. A lot of times you'll see that when a baseball player leaves the team, goes to another team. But he played like 10 games with the first team and then they both meet in the World Series. Either way he gets a ring because it's no matter. It's time spent on that team. You get a ring.
Brady
Didn't know that.
John Holmberg
Sometimes, yeah, I forget. A couple years ago it happened. Guy was traded from what was it? Atlanta. I don't remember when Atlanta won the World series in 20, 20, 19 or whatever it was. And he was on both teams. And so I get a ring either way. Doesn't bother me. So it's just that. Anyway, congratulations, Chiefs fans. You're glowing. Don't gloat. That makes people hate you. And that's it. We were going to have our super bowl party and all that this year and started talking about it a couple weeks ago, and even Coleman down there at Stand Up Live, we're going to have it downtown this year. And then we're like, I don't really feel much excitement over the super bowl this year. There's not. I don't. I have to go to the Phoenix Open that day. And I'm like, I really don't want to scramble and make. Matt's like, we really don't want to. We don't really have another Chief celebration. I'm like, let's just skip it. Have your own parties. We don't want to go down there and invite the same people. The same Chiefs fans show up like, yeah, we're gonna. I've watched you guys celebrate enough. We're kind of. I don't think anybody's angry at the Chiefs. I think everybody's just kind of bored.
Brett
I think it's starting to turn that way a little bit, though.
John Holmberg
It will. Because again, yeah, we're witnessing greatness, but I don't. But it's not. It's not gut wrenching interest, right? It's you. You don't have to see the game to know that it happened. It's not like, man, I can't wait. Or you don't care if they get like, nobody's trying to stop that. Nobody's going. I can't let. If they went through in a row. I don't know, man. Nobody really is going to try and.
Brady
Whereas when the Patriots were undefeated.
John Holmberg
Oh, that was huge. Well, because the hatred is the greatest thing for sports and life, really. Hatred. The Bible's so wrong. Hate brings us together. Hate makes us have common interest. Remember Russia when we, like in the 80s, the Cold War, we didn't have the divisive nation we have today. We had a common enemy that was, like, really loud. And we seemed like it would have been a good fight. We think it would have been Ali, Frazier. And we all kind of banded together with that. You know, all Bond movies were about, you know, Russian evil. And then once Russia went away, it's like they had to make up countries. We're not really afraid of Turkmenistan, are we? I mean, that's not really gonna.
Brady
James kind of teamed up with the Russians.
John Holmberg
Well, yeah, he's had a couple of them where he had to cut. But then we're fighting made up countries that didn't. We don't care. You have to have a big boy that like, is a serious contender. Even in Top Gun. The new Top Gun they just made, they never even mentioned the name of the country we were fighting. It was the enemy. And it's like we don't even have somewhere over there. You have to have a common hate in order for love to blossom. You know, if you hate the same things. I always say that if you hate the same things, it's more important than if you like the same things. Like I could say you go on a date with a girl and she's like, oh, my favorite movie is Rear Window. I'm like, mine too. Oh, I also love no country for Old Men and I love comedy and I love this and I'm a big fan of the ID Network. And then she, she hits me with what I absolutely can't get enough of Guy Fieri. Look, we can't be. We can't. We can't be together. We have to hate the same thing. If you don't hate the same things, you're doomed. You're doomed because one of you is going to end up at a concert you don't want to be at. Look at her and go, I don't even. I don't even think she's pretty. I think she's gross. So hate brings us together. We don't really. Nobody hates the Chiefs. If you do, it's just because they beat your team all the time. AFC West.
Brett
I think the difference is, is that the Patriots were just smug pricks.
John Holmberg
They were smug pricks. On top of we knew they cheated. On top of, you know, that. That's. That you know. Now we know what it's like to have a good looking dude. Like when women have a good looking guy, bang him and then never call him. That's how the Patriots felt. Like that guy just banged me and then left. Like without saying I'll be back or anything. Like he just felt used, he felt gross. That definitely Chiefs have an argument that the refs help him out, but have they not earned that? We're watching greatness and it bores us. That's how little we're into human success. We're watch, literally watching something that never happened before. And we're kind of bored by it hang on. The Chiefs again, huh? You take for granted when greatness is in front of you and it's pretty remarkable. These dudes seemingly have forgotten how to lose a game. Like they don't. They don't ever get into something where like, well, they're going to make a mistake and blow this. When they have the ball. You're like, all right, they're going to get ahead here. The Bills have to figure out what they're going to do with the clock. Like when, when it was tied and the Chiefs had. It's like just let them score. I mean once they got the first two throws are down by the 13 yard line, just let them in because they'll milk the clock down to like two minutes from the 13. Put it in on you anyway. Just let them in and give yourself a chance, a four minute chance to get in the end zone and either going to get in or not. They're getting in. They're putting points on the board when it matters and they always do. So this will be an interesting one. The Eagles and they're. And they're boring too, by the way. That's a. You know, you got padded vanilla with the Chiefs. Taylor Swift stressed like a, like a hobo yesterday and we're all tired of seeing her. We were tired immediately of seeing her, but there she is sharing constantly kissing Travis Kelsey's mom. And we're tired of it. We don't hate it. We're just tired of it. So. And I really, honestly, I don't care who wins. This is another one where you're like, all right, good for you. Tip of the cap to the Chiefs. Eagles are a good team. That's fun to watch and that's for the average fan. So now I'm in it once again for the commercials and entertainment value and see if Kendrick Lamar is any good. Anyway, enjoy everybody. The Super Bowl's back and America is abuzz over nothing. And now you'll see whether or not the super bowl is just habit or true interest. And it might be a great game, but nobody going into it's really too thrilled. What will the ratings will be 60 million same. Yeah. Because it's. Now we're just stamping it into must, must go. It's sort of like the Phoenix Open at this point. Nobody cares about golf, but you have to be like, if you get to go, it's like, oh, we're going to the. Like you go to the Open because it's a thing. It's in town. You go, do you like golf? I didn't even know there was golf at that. It's real. Speaking of people who have super bowl rings and may or may not, as Brett said, deserve them, I took Dale hell straight to the Suns game Saturday night. Well, I didn't invite him. Well, how did he go there? He asked. He. He invited himself Friday. He said, you got anybody to go with you to the Sun's game tomorrow? And I'm like, the first person in the history of basketball to ever say, hey, are you going to the Wizards and Sons game tomorrow? The Wizards have six wins. And so I said, yeah, I think a friend of mine was supposed to go. So I text my friend that was supposed to get. His name's Jim. And I said, jim, you still my date for Saturday, or was that another time? Jim also invited himself to a son's game, which was weird because I want to go to that rah Rah room. Let me pick a date. I'm like, all right, let me know. And he did. So Dale. So Jim's like, no, I got us down for the eighth. And I'm like, oh, okay, February 8th. That's Jimmy. I don't have anybody to go to the Wizards game. So I text Dale back, and I said, invited yourself on a good night there, Dale. If you'd like to go, I'll take your. I'll take your lumbering ass to the Suns game. And he goes, I'm like, maybe we go to the rah Rah room. Maybe not. Dress like a adult, though. Don't wear your gym shorts in that same Scottsdale Christian Academy shirt you wear everywhere. So Dale comes and picks me up at my house like a date.
Brett
Aww.
John Holmberg
He's got a nice new car. I like his car. Hopped in the car, Drive down there. We get in. We, you know, park valet, go to the rah Rah room. And he gets out of the car. He sees me. I'm in jeans and a sun sweatshirt. I'm going to a son's game. And he goes, I thought you said we had to dress up. He's mad because he's in pants. And I don't think Dale's worn pants since, like, school. And I said, all I said was, dress like a adult if this is what you. Cause you had a nice polo shirt, an SMU shirt, all this new stuff. It was brand new gray slacks. And I'm like, man, you don't have to dress up ever. But okay. And so he was a little upset right off the bat. We get into the Rahra room. We have A couple drinks. I gotta hand it to Dale. He's a payer. I didn't know that. Dale reaches for the wallet way before. And that's a rare experience for me in the rah Rah room.
Brett
No kidding.
John Holmberg
Very rare. Not a lot of payers. Not a lot. Dale knocks that out. First round of drinks like Dale. That's all you could. All a guy could ask. And he said, well, I couldn't have invited myself. I'm like, well, there's no doubt about that. I still gotta pay my way. And he. We talked about how people abuse the ticket situation. When you get him a ticket to a game. The protocol is if I'm taking you to the game, you pick up the drinks. Most of the time, it's just protocol. You don't even offer. You just do it, you know, that's just how it is. And if the person that doesn't sees the host's card go out, it should make them scramble. Some people just don't. I've discovered that over having season tickets. And those people just. They usually just wean themselves off the list. Then another round of drinks comes, and Dale pays again. And I'm like, well, now. Now you're breaking. Now you're breaching. Because I can pick up a round. No. Well, we'll come back and we'll grab. So halftime, we go back to the Rah Rah room because he wants to eat and we get some food. He pays again. I'm like, dale, you're starting to skirt. Probably. Probably up into this thing. About 250 bucks at this point. I said, we'll come back afterwards and have a real meal. He's just got appetizers. Sure enough, at the end of the game, me, Kevin, Ray, Zach, Ray, Devin. I don't know her last name. Her new husband, that's Kevin's daughter and member, Sisquatch from the golf tournaments. Lady takes clothes off all the time. And Tom, they bought tickets sitting directly next to me through Ticketmaster at the game. So when we were sitting at the game, there was Sisquatch clothed from the golf tournament. And we drugged them into the rah rah room because he's actually a successful businessman. His wife, not so much with the whole. She looks like, you know, she's got the hair and the thing. She's putting a show on. So let's recognize her with her top on. Golf tournament. Her hair's made of carpeting. So it's this gigantic waterfall. That's how you recognize a vampire flooring that comes off it looks cool, but it's definitely not human. And so we were in there and Dale ordered a giant shrimp scampi. And like he went crazy on that again. And then this time Tom paid. So Dale was beyond behaved and everything else. Now during the entire conversation, I have to bring it back to last Wednesday when we were in the room. I have to apologize to Brady. He is delusional. You are still a delusional man. The walking into a room of a thousand women your age, how many would turn like find you attractive immediately? First blush And Brady said 25. And the answer is clearly zero. It's zero. And we've gone over this. It's zero across the board. There's never been a time where Brady has walked in a room, stopped conversation. The lady's like, wow, I gotta get to know that. Yeah, that has never happened to you. Zero is the thing. Dale the ogre adamant that at least 500 would find him attractive. Probably 750 is the number he put on it that would want to know him. And I'm like, hey look, I gave Brady heat for being delusional at 25. 500 for your broke down giant ass. I'm 6. 5 people find that pretty short and fat. And I'm like, right, I know. We've already established Brady's is zero. He goes, what about you? And I'm like, also zero. I'm like, you're not gonna insult me. 500 is it? He goes, 60 year old women because he's 60 would immediately find me attractive. Johnny, that's happened. I'm like 500 of them, 50% of the room. It went on forever. And this is how you know women are all liars. Tom's wife, Kevin, Ray's daughter, Devin, all of them said, oh sure, 500's right. And I'm like, that's how you know I'm right is because they put that, they put that out there to make you feel comfortable amongst them. See, why don't you believe it? 500 women. And that just because he says they're 60, they'll take anything. And I'm like, even you at 60 walking into a lady's situation, they're going to be intimidated. I'm like, if they ever saw you take five steps, by the way, walking with Dale Hellistray, Good Christmas.
Brady
They'll see Dale. Those women will see Dale. Like that's wiping in two years and I'm not going to.
John Holmberg
Exactly. He looks like somebody you got to take care of now. And then you find out whether or not. He's rich now. That's later down the road. I'm talking about just first. Look, if you even see him take a few steps towards you, you get a pitchfork and some torches. But he is a payer and did do well enough to potentially earn a second trip to a son's game this year. I was very impressed. He told me a story, oh, he'll get it again.
Brady
He'll call.
John Holmberg
He had a family member that he actually tried to fight over tickets because the guy started to, like, bicker about the beer. Like, but you had a margarita, and those are $20, and they had a dinner and stuff and all this. And he's like, I'm going to take you outside and punch you in the nose. And he was going to fist fight the guy because he's like, I've been hitting you, giving you tickets to things my whole life, and you're going to bicker about the cost when it's your turn to pay? Once there's a. There's a protocol to that, Stu, you got to do it. You lose friends over. I've discovered that you lose friends over season tickets. You truly do start to say, like, oh, I see these people's true colors are. They're takers. They. You got to reach for that wallet and start kicking in for the. For the cost of everything. At least, you know, at least offer.
Brett
Pull the card out.
John Holmberg
Pull the card out. If I decide to say no, no, the whole night's on me. That's. That's my decision to. You know, you can't get banged for that. But if you're just sitting there with your hands in your pockets and firing off, you know, a couple mojitos like Kevin Ray's son Zach, now we're gonna go on him, you know, sorry. He's been down there a few times. Kevin Ray's a payer. He always tries to hand over. And I. And I gladly told Kevin, I'm like, you know, what if we go back here again, next one's on you. We already took care of the bill. Don't worry about it. It was nice. Everybody did it. It was very good. Fits as a pair. He almost earned himself back in Hopkins. Hopkins didn't pay, and he's a payer, but he bailed out and, you know, told us, told his friends to hit the. Hit the bar on my Ted. I'm like, he's. Yeah, he's living on probation right now, actually. He re. Earned it. He. Because he went back to the. He went back and paid for the Whole deal, he made good. He. He actually felt bad and made the call. So it was, you know, just took.
Brett
100,000 watts of power to. To get that out of.
John Holmberg
That's exactly right. Burning me like that, I'm like, I'll tell you, it's. You're going to get hit on those every once in a while, if that happens. And then last night I was watching the news and I saw this. I didn't really put a thing to. Congratulations. There's a homeowner in West Phoenix who shot and killed a burglar. Excellent work, I think. Nice job. I know you're going to live with some trauma for a little while, but let me just be the first to say, a lot of us are on your side. I know it's can't be nice to be part of that, but at the same time, there's a lot of folks out there that give you a pat on the back for shooting a burglar. Now then I realized that the burglar who they released the age of is like the Tom Brady of home burglaries. 51 years old, and I'm like, that's a ripe old age for a home burglar. He was due to get shot, if you ask me. I mean, if you're 51 and you just started the home burglar game, but.
Brady
We don't know if he's a rookie or not.
John Holmberg
Probably not. I don't think you'd probably just dive into home burglaries at 50. I mean, I'm 52 and the burglar and days are like, even the thought of it's just like, nah, I've made it this far without a home burglary. I can figure it out. If you're still robbing houses or breaking into places at 51, even doing it for a minute, you know, and that to me, a success on his end, too. He's 51 and he's never been shot to death breaking into homes. I. I got to assume this wasn't his first rodeo, and he's doing it.
Brady
For the love of the game.
John Holmberg
Yeah, the guy just in it for the passion at this point and knows the risk and you know what? Finally met it. But I don't think there's a lot of guys 51, still busting into houses. Most of the time they're meth addicts that break into houses and they've died at early age. If they. They don't make it to 51, if they still need a couple meth bucks that they Got to break into somebody's place. Now it could be an OJ situation where he was breaking into the house to get something back. Or they had some beef with. He knew the owner of the house and was. But even then, if that's the case, you should know the owner's schedule a little better. The dude was clearly inside and well armed. And that's a guy you don't break into his house. 51. I gave credit to the homeowner for plugging the guy. We gotta tip the cap to the 51 year old home robber. I think that's a pretty nice. That's a good age to. You made it 51 years and you never took a bullet for last one.
Brady
Honey, we make this one more good.
John Holmberg
And he's a bad burglar. He's a 51 year old bad burglar. 106th Avenue, an Indian school. I mean, shouldn't you have moved into the pd?
Brady
Was he going for the copper pipes?
John Holmberg
Yes.
Brady
What was that mean?
John Holmberg
Shouldn't you be one of those. What do they call them? Those cat burglars? I think that's the ones that sneak around in the all black with the satin bag of diamonds.
Brett
Celebrity homes and all that kind of stuff.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you gotta get better at it. By 51, you're no longer breaking into the Avenues. You got to move over to Paradise Valley and be like a cat brother. The guys that are that have a serial, they have a system. And there's at least a warehouse to.
Brady
Set up the grind.
John Holmberg
Yes. You got 13 or 14 dudes, a contortionist, a guy that works well with pulley systems and lift the house. Yeah. You have hydraulics because you've made so much money robbing for so long. You lift houses out of the ground, painting, put them back. And you gotta surveil the area for a few days. Yeah, that. You've got a. You've got a. You're systematic. You don't just kick the door and run in and grab. By the way, what are you stealing on 106th Avenue in Indian school? Those pearls are fake.
Brett
Yeah. Come on.
John Holmberg
There's no diamonds in there.
Brady
That might be a couple of Bob Ross paintings in there.
John Holmberg
Maybe. Maybe an accident. Yeah, but then that's just. Why not just go to Garage Sale, 106th Avenue.
Brett
Those are velvet Elvis paintings from the Swamp Meet.
John Holmberg
If they're going for the. I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope they don't know that the art they have in their house is really fine art. You're not, you know 51 blacklight posters and stuff. And don't blacklight anything in a house. You. And I'm not saying 106th Avenue in Indian schools, terrible. But it's pretty average. There's pretty far avenue that if I'm burgling houses, if I have. If Brett just suddenly came to me and said, hey, look man, we've never done this before. Let's. Let's break into some houses. I'm like, you know what? Sure. And then Brett's like, I got a mark. I'm like, where is it? 106. Ah, it's too far to drive. I'm not even interrupted. When you're 51, that's too far to go.
Brady
I need more info.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I'm going to need a lot more surveillance. Yeah, I'm not just 51. I need to have one of those things that suction cups onto a window, etches out a circle and I pop the window out just so I can reach in and unlock the door. I'm not kicking things in on 106th Avenue. At that point I'll just beat up the meth dealer or something and take the meth. Why am I breaking into houses anyways? Not anymore. So congratulations. Friday night just pop. Just busted in and you know, guy standing there took a shot. 51 years old, homeowner admitted I'm the guy who shot him. I know exactly what's going on here. There's gotta be more to this than we know because 51 year olds don't do that. But hey, I think we have like the senior tour of burglaries. I mean that's the first thing I do if I shot a guy in my house and hopefully I have to take the mask off and look how old he is. Like, this is weird. Witherspoon. Yeah, exactly. It's like, wow. Next thing you're telling me was white. I'm like, what the hell? He's missing a 51 year old white man breaking into houses. I mean this is going to be easy. It looks like nobody else breaking into houses. That was picture of 50. 51 year old burglar has a tuxedo and like David Niven, he's got an accent. And I don't believe you're going to understand exactly what I do for a living. So I. I'll just keep it to myself. But let's just say I've done very well. Oh, and I have to go at midnight. I have somewhere to be. What? Midnight? What man has anywhere to be at midnight? A man of the Night, that's who. And then he leaves you. Like, wow, he's a good burglar. I don't know what cat. What the difference is as a cat burglar. Oh, this is what it says. A cat burglar is somebody who enters a building from a second story or higher. I didn't know that. As opposed to ground floor. All right, you should have graduated to the upper floors then. At the very least.
Brady
51, pretty much getting nothing but a ranch.
John Holmberg
Ranch, sell homes. I'm like 51 at that point. Just get a job at five guys. How bad is your life at 51 that you're still kicking indoors on the avenues. I'm just disappointed of where he's at. Like I would, oh, 51 year old guy got caught, you know, right there in, you know, right off Mummy Mountain or something. Busted into one of them rich people's houses. Then you're like, ah, they finally nabbed. And he would have a nickname by then. At 51, you have a nickname like, you know, the Night Coyote or something. Like people, he's been terrorizing Phoenix for 40 years. He's terrified. Night Coyote strikes again. 51, if you're still busting, you haven't even earned a nickname yet. What a waste of time. Him. I'm glad he got you. I'm getting. I'm getting happier and happier that that dude took a bullet right to the chest.
Brett
I don't know if this is true, but this guy says the robber hit the house a couple days before and went back. And this is when he got caught.
John Holmberg
What in the world?
Brett
I don't know why you're going back for. You know.
John Holmberg
You know who wouldn't do that? He got everything. You know who wouldn't do that? Brett the Night Coyote.
Brett
Right?
John Holmberg
That guy knows better. You don't revisit the crime. So he went in, he broke in once and he saw something. He's like, I'm coming back for that. Power, apparently. Probably power tools. The Night Coyote wouldn't have done that. Night Coyote knows where your jewels are. And Troy Hayden on the news. Or tonight, Paradise Valley shakes and terrors. The Night Coyote comes out of retirement, strikes again. This guy. 106th Avenue. Leave that to the. Leave that to the. Whatever city that is. Goons.
Brett
Leave it to the rookies over there.
John Holmberg
Yeah, let the 26 year olds earn their stripes on 106th in Indian school. Then scooch over to, you know. Come on, idiot.
Brett
That's like double A over there. You gotta get into downtown, maybe aaa, pv.
John Holmberg
You're right.
Brett
You're in the majors.
John Holmberg
It's like you made it to the show. He's. He's Crash Davis.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
He's too old for the miners, but he's sticking around. You're right. He's Bull Durham. It's disgusting. It's disgusting. I watched the thing last night on. It's great staying up all night watching tv. It's been the best. They have such great shows, like, things you'd never see. There was a guy who was in jail for 44 years. I think he went in 1970, he popped out. He robbed some people at gunpoint and then stood on the same corner in the same clothes, like, the next day. And they're like, well, there he is. He's like, who's. He even said. He goes, who does that? Like, what? How dumb was I? So they launch him out 44 years later, and he's aware of stuff, but he doesn't. He's not seen it. And just as a test, they're like, let's. The first thing we do is put this dude down in Times Square and just let him have at it. Like, just be a human being in Times Square, 44 years removed. And he did. He's like, does everyone work for the CIA? That's the first thing he said. People got things in their ears. They're walking around with their phones, like, there's electronics everywhere. And he couldn't at all get past the advertising. Like, that was like, this isn't Earth anymore. He was blown away at Times Square. He's like, the screenshot that I'm looking.
Brady
At so many different messages.
John Holmberg
Well, you got to remember, in 1970, the last time, and it wasn't even the messages. It's the technology. If you've seen the screens in Vegas, even from the last 25 years, where they used to be those pixelated ones, and even prior to that, just light bulbs, little billboards. Yeah. Little tiny TVs that were. And now HD. It looks like a few of those things are crawling. He was blown away by the one in New York that looks like it's moving around in the window. It's like usually a cat playing, like, it reaches for people. It's the neatest thing I've ever seen. They got a few of those out there. And he's like, I just. I don't even know what this is. This isn't planet Earth anymore. And it was fun to watch. 44 years later, some guy get. He goes, man, this is total. But he was most worried that everyone's a rat because everyone's wearing an earpiece. Everyone's got some sort of technology in their hands that it would be like in 1970 if everybody was walking around with full on cameras. Just. And if you think about that, how intimidating that would have been prior to the cell phone, if everyone just had a giant camera in their hand at all times.
Brett
You'd be like, VHS cameras and stuff.
John Holmberg
I don't want to live in a world where everybody's got one, but we do now and we consider it great. But if everybody had an old VHS thing just in their hands and looking around at everything like, oh, I'm gonna film that, you'd be like, ah, this is intrusive. Every bit of my privacy is completely.
Brady
Missing now you have it in the glasses.
John Holmberg
Oh, I wear those glasses all the time. I. When I ride my bike, I have my meta glasses. It's crazy, but he was used to.
Brett
Porn theaters and hookers down there back in the 70s.
John Holmberg
Hookers, porn theaters and weird, like bright light bulbs.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And, you know, nothing like what you see now. And it was walls of it still. But Times Square now looks like a complete. Like he said, it's just so clean and bright and weird. But the one thing that nailed them, I just could not get enough of. Earbuds. Why has everyone got a thing in their ear? Everyone. And you look around now and you think, well, everybody does. And then he made some sort of comment at the end that he even said after about 20 minutes of wander Around New York City. So it's probably easier to rob all these people than it ever was in the past. So nobody's paying attention. And then he said, but everybody's walking around with cameras. Thank you. You're not thinking about doing it already, are you? Not like the Coyote Creeper. That's a good nickname. The Coyote Creeper is back in Paradise. If you're 51 and you're robbing houses still, kudos to you. You've got a system, you got a plant. You're not getting caught at this point.
Brett
Abram makes a good point. So John, he's robbing stuff in the West. Do you really expect him to ride his BMX bicycle all the way to Valley?
John Holmberg
But that's proof you've picked the wrong profession. If I was 51 and still doing, you know, weekends here, he's on his dui and I still tell everybody, hey, look, I'm trying to break through and get a morning show. I'm like, if it's not happening, it's like when you Talk to guys in local bands and they're in their 50s. That one guy got really mad at me at the golf tournament. So I'm like, you're 50 years old. Yeah, we're putting out. We're. Our new album drops. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You recorded something on your computer and you're handing it out to friends. Nothing's going to drop. You're not in the industry. No, we got interest from like. No, you don't. Not one. Not one. And I'll tell you this for sure, not one record company is sitting there going, all right, the kids are clamoring for a mid-50s rock band. Let's see if we can go find those gentlemen. They're. They're everywhere. Have fun, enjoy your time. It's never going to amount. You're never going to see that. It's never breaking. It's not happening. Same with a 51 year old burglar. You picked a bad profession. It's time for. It's time for you to find something else today. I always say that to guys like, oh, I'm in a band and I'm like, oh, but you're in your 40s and stuff, so what do you do for a living? Oh, no, I work over at the title agency. I'm a title guy. But. But I am in a band. Like, that's good. There's your passion. I didn't ask what's the thing you love most in life? I said, what do you do for a job? My band's gonna. Our new album Drops. I'm like, no, no, we. A tour. No, you're going to play like nine bars here locally. No, we get to go to Tucson. Like, you called the guy in Tucson. They didn't call you. Yeah, but I know you're a title agent who plays in a band. Until you quit that title agency thing. Come on.
Brett
Roping for Credence at the state fair in Iowa.
John Holmberg
Those are the good.
Brett
With one member left from the original band.
John Holmberg
Credence asked us to come out, so we went out and Tommy from the band, like, nobody knows who you're talking about. Yeah, he's got us. I mean, this could be it. No, you're in your 50s. It's not happening. When you. When you're 50 and you're still doing a job with the dream. Unless your dream is CEO and you're like the vice president, if you haven't had a steady climb to your dream, you're still in the first stages, you know, like If Brett was still doing overnights, and he's like, my real goal here is to get Tripps jobs. I'm like, oh, Brett, go hang yourself. This is never gonna happen.
Brett
I almost did a few times.
John Holmberg
You haven't even gotten Shannon's job yet. I know. It wouldn't have been surprising if that. One point we found out Brett was breaking into houses, like, during the 3 o'clock sideshow.
Brett
Wouldn't be on the west side, I'll tell you that.
John Holmberg
Perfect. Like, you should have. Like, you did overnights for 12, 15 years. 3:00 sideshow. You could have. I mean, the sad thing was, you'd have broken into houses in Guadalupe. Yeah. So you'd have come out with tamales. Yeah.
Brett
With nothing.
John Holmberg
You know, like, way too much masa. That's all you end up getting is just buckets of it.
Brett
Porcelain statues of Jesus and stuff. That's about it.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you'd have been. You'd have been lousy with those.
Brady
If he was like, you guys need any rims?
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. Well, he wouldn't. He wouldn't have been that dumb. The 3 o'clock sideshow would have been, like, the ultimate. Oh, we should have seen that. He even told us it was a sideshow. He told us it was a distraction from what was really going on.
Brett
Exactly.
John Holmberg
And you leave the place for 45 minutes, you hit something, you come back. In fact, we had one of the ladies that worked in our building that was doing that in the daytime. She was the KSLX secretary or something, right?
Brady
Yeah, receptionist.
John Holmberg
And during lunch, she knew where everybody lived. She had everybody's address.
Brady
It was an inside job, breaking the.
John Holmberg
Houses while we were all at work. Kind of brilliant, really, when you think about it. She had her Clark Kent Persona and then her evil bad guy walking around in Arcadia because KS Lex used to be on 44th street in Camelback. And she'd wander around, and this is where Holmberg lives.
Brett
God.
John Holmberg
Kick the door in. She never got to my house, but she was close. Too close for comfort, if you ask me.
Brett
Your rims got jacked off your.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I know who did that. Odalite. Holmes, if you're gonna.
Brett
They're on 106th Avenue.
John Holmberg
You're. Yes. And now. Hey, look, I gave it to him. They stacked my car when they took my wheels off on those blocks, right? Well, no, they weren't blocks. They were the pavers for walkways. They're, you know, landscape pavers. But they had the little Mexican guy with the sombrero carved into them all The Walmart pavers. Yeah. And they were on their sides holding up a Nissan Armada.
Brett
It was nice of them, though.
John Holmberg
I mean, it was perilous, like it looks, so.
Brady
Could have left it flat.
John Holmberg
Might as well. That's what I'm saying.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Son. Some. Well, I don't even know if they couldn't have gotten them all off if it was flat. They jacked it up, took all four tires, and then I guess they could.
Brett
Have dropped it right back down. Yeah.
John Holmberg
But they did. They were kind enough to put it up on landscaping pavers. And I'm like, well, respectable thieves. I know exactly who did that. It's a group in. In the. In the neighborhood that has landscape equipment that was respectable. I did give them that. Real pain in the ass to try to drag your car out of the driveway when it's just on its. On the. On the axles. But that wasn't a. It wasn't. The lady from kslx. She'd have left, like, Alice Cooper albums. That was a good one, Brett. You should have done that. You should oversleep. One of these days, I'll force you to do an overnight.
Brett
No, I've done that before.
John Holmberg
I know. And we'll do the overnight show. I'll show up, and we'll bust into one of the houses down here, and I'll be 51 and take a bullet. Yeah. No, there's not a whole. Like, the drive's too far to get to good stuff. See, and there's. There's.
Brett
The city is 15 minutes away. 15 minutes.
John Holmberg
There's, you know, too far.
Brett
Yeah.
Brady
There's some stuff over here at the toe or whatever the.
John Holmberg
Nobody's busting into that thing. But look at that. Brett's 51. He's never burgled before.
Brett
No.
John Holmberg
And the first thing he thought was, if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna make it worth it.
Brett
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
You're going someplace nice.
Brett
If I told you anything around here.
John Holmberg
I got A mark on 106th Avenue in Indian School. You're on. You're out of your mind. Rather rob Mesa. At least maybe I'll get some Dobson stuff and have it be nostalgic at 6. 25. So all you old burglars out there, hang them up and get a job. There's plenty of places. Hiring five guys has. Saw the sign in the window the other day. Now hiring. You're gonna make more and be respectable, and you won't have to drive around. And you're certainly not gonna take a bullet. 51 year old man takes bullet. I want to know what the record is for oldest guy breaking into houses because he's got to be up there. That's a. That is a game for the young. The young meth heads do that. Let's get a wake up song. Five eight, five, 9800. A good one. We'll scream it together. It's 98. KUPD. Wake up. Hey.
Dick Toledo
It's not weird.
John Holmberg
It's pretty cool, actually.
Dick Toledo
No membership fee.
John Holmberg
I have heard enough of this Morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Thank you. Miles to nowhere and we're running. I just got a text from a guy I know. JD says that burglary you were talking about is actually my cousin. Well, tell me more. I need to know everything about this. You're a family member? Oh, he's out there still doing the home robberies.
Brett
So the guy that got killed is his cousin? Yeah, the guy that got robbed.
John Holmberg
What? He said the burglar you were talking about earlier was my cousin.
Brett
Oh, man.
John Holmberg
Sorry for your loss. But you got a 51 year old cousin burglar. You knew you were when you got a cousin like that. And we all have a cousin like that. You're just waiting for that phone call. I've had a cousin for years. My cousin's almost 70 now, and he's probably like, he's in his early 60s. You still wait for that call. Like, what's he up to? Like when the. When you don't want it to happen, but you're waiting for the phone to ring to go, hey, you know, remember your cousin, like, yeah, well, he finally got him, like, he's going to jail for a lot of stuff, and he's had quite a life. And then he always comes back straightened out, you know, starts a business, does pretty well, and then something happens and he's back in the hole. Well, I want to know more, J.D. come on now. A guy, even Matthew emailed me and said, paradise. Valerie Burglar called the Rock Burglar. Remember him? Totally forgot about that. Dude. 20 years, 337 heists. He would chuck a rock through their yard as his calling card and pull out entire safes.
Brett
That's a pro.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it's funny you mentioned it. It was on Mummy Mountain, and I live right off of there. Well, there you go. Congratulations. First off, Matthew, nice job, good living right there. Living on Mummy Mountain, that's pretty great. There's a place I ride my bike past where these really nice houses there's like six of them butt up to a wall and I've noticed, I think you've gone with me. Remember when I used to. We'd ride and we'd take that shortcut through. I always called divorced guy apartments. It's, it's a parking lot filled with nice cars. But the apartments are like one bedroom, one bath, 800 square foot. Like it's clearly dudes who have just gotten divorced. This is their temporary home for a little while and they're, you know, they got a Mercedes. Keep a car or keep the car. The house is gone. You're in limbo, trying to reshuffle your life. You went from successful to. Of course, as I always say, in a divorce, dude loses, woman wins. That's just the way the ladies hate hearing that. But it's like no women ever sit at post dinos and go, how much did you lose in the divorce, hun? They always say, what'd you get? And he asked the guy, what'd you lose? It's just part of it. It's our own doing. It's the way the system works. Not necessarily complaining, but ladies, you need to be realists and understand that that's how it is. Nobody ever says he took her for half. It doesn't happen anyway. So you ride through that little divorced guy apartment complex. There's a bunch of nice houses, but the back wall of these houses is the retaining wall to this apartment thing. And then I started to realize that some of it is just the house is the wall. These big houses are up against this parking lot. The back of the house is the wall. I rode by on Saturday and just thought to myself, you could drill right through there and get into those houses from this spot. I wonder if they worry about that. Even my brain thinks of how to break into a house. I'd never do it because it's just not worth it. But when you see the opening, a normal person even goes, ooh, there's a weakness there. Star Wars. It's like, oh, there's the two meter hole. I can, I can blow up the Death Star through that.
Brett
Get my womp rats through there.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I can shoot that. I can do this. Even I could do this if I'm seeing it. What's the bad guy see? The Rock Burglar 337 Heist. And that's when you get into legendary status where you stop even being scary because he wasn't killing anybody. The 337 times he got away with it. He just really good at that. JD Says I haven't seen or talked to my cousin much since he got out of the joint. Robbery thing seems kind of suspect. I think he might have known the guy probably owed him money when he was younger. When he was younger, he had the world going for him. He was a smart player. Went to a college to play football, got into drugs and lived that way. Yeah. And see kids. That's what drugs do to you. It turns you into a loser robber. Not like a good robber. Not like the rock burglar who was at Pilstone. Every once in a while, looking around, going, nobody knows. Buying drinks for ladies.
Brady
Probably taking it you're heading out of town next week.
John Holmberg
Those great moments where he would go up to Hillstone at the bar and go, hi, how you doing? My name's Jeff. Oh, hi, Jeff. How are you? Did you drop this? And then his hand opens up and this gorgeous pendant falls out. Did you drop this? I think it would look great on. Oh, my God. No, it's not mine. It is now. Dahl. I met this guy at Hillstone. He's sort of mysterious. There's a lot of ladies out there right now who dated that rock burglar. And probably don't bring it up too often. I dated a guy for a little while, but then something happened and I couldn't anymore. Tell me more.
Brett
Tell me more.
John Holmberg
He was the rock burglar. And I. I loved him. The prizes were amazing.
Brady
I remember while, you know, when that was still going on there, one of the advice was don't post stuff when you're on vacation.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Right.
Brady
At the current time. Wait.
John Holmberg
Quit telling everybody where you are, dummy. Pretty great, though. Well, yeah. 51 and you're robbing places. Emails also about the Chiefs going into the super bowl again. And most people have that same opinion we all have, which is kind of like, huh, Chiefs again. It says, I hate the Chiefs. But it's not because of the Chiefs. I hate him. Mostly because of Patrick Mahomes dickhead brother. That little craft. He goes around yelling, we did it. We did it. Like he has anything to do with it. F the Chiefs. Edgar. That's right. That's his. I believe that's his gay brother. Right. He got into a little trouble with the law. If I'm not mistaken, one of them did. Family is just a mess.
Brett
He seems like he's the only normal one.
John Holmberg
Well, and we don't know, but that's what I'm saying.
Brett
Seems.
John Holmberg
Yeah, someday. His dad's always drinking and driving and running around, and he was a professional Baseball player. Mom hasn't made much noise, but that brother has gotten in trouble. And you're right. I don't like. I don't like when family members. I don't like when anybody celebrates someone else's accomplishment. Like they. I don't even like watching like Clark Hunt. I gotta say that slow, the owner of the Chiefs, he's got like brothers and stuff that are up there. That, that said you handle it. You do everything. But when they win, there they are. You're here for the checks.
Brady
They mostly cover the granddaughter or daughter.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they got that hot. Yeah, hot one that runs around. She's. That's Clark's daughter, I think too. She's pretty good. That's Lamar's great granddaughter, I think. But then, and then there's always the joy of the. The Chiefs winning is that my friend Colin Boyd gets to watch a girl he dated who married one of the Hunt brothers later go up and celebrate. And she was a stunner. It's the greatest story ever told. Intern at the Zone. Colin took her to go see Titanic in 1997. Literally came back a little bit cocky. He had this six foot, gorgeous, dark haired. She was stunning. She's so pretty. She made all the ladies mad for like two months. Everybody in the building who was female was pissed off a little bit that this girl would show up. So on days that she come in to do a promotional thing or just be there, even the pretty ladies were mad because they were no longer the prettiest girl in the building. And that's a goal for a lot of ladies. Ladies rank themselves. They know who's hot and who's not. They know. They know where they rank.
Brady
They come in prepared.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you're either in the upper echelon, the middle, or the low. And you know where you're at. But then when magic wanders in and I mean, boom, like all the dudes start acting a little different. You can see the best of your co workers when a hot girl comes in. That's why women are always like, oh, you guys just fall all over yourselves when she's here. It's because we don't see them that way. So we're kind of treat them like dudes. But when a woman of, you know, some sort of stu. We straighten up, we dress a little better, we're opening doors, we're watching our language, we're being super fun. You guys just trip all over your own dicks whenever she's around. Like, have you seen her? She's worth it. Well, that's what this girl was. Colin asked her out, took her to the Titanic, made out with her a little bit, called me on his way home. John, I just saw. Saw Titanic. I'm king of the world. Not Leo. Me, I'm king of, like. Who'd you take? Tony. Her name was Tony Munoz, Just like the lineman from the Bengals. And Tony liked Colin a lot. And Colin got the flu the next day. He was sick as a dog for four days. He laid in bed and didn't talk to anybody. And then finally felt better, went back to work, gave her a call, and she goes, I don't play games. I'm not interested. He goes, but I had the flu. I don't care. And it was over. And now, moving on, she's Tony Munoz Hunt. She's a billionaire. And he texted me yesterday. He goes, well, at least I don't have to deal with seeing Tony Munoz on the stage again.
Brett
Sir.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's her now.
Brett
So he never got any of that. That future Hunt woman.
John Holmberg
That's right. He never even saw her. Wow. From the Hunt perspective. Oh, man. He get. He did get to kiss a future Hunt right on the lips, man. Right on. But this Hunt was out of his life just because he got the flu, man.
Brett
That's terrible.
John Holmberg
And now people look at her and say, what a hunt. Because she runs. She runs around. K. I know. That's her now. I mean, that's her looking four kids later.
Brett
Oh, would have been a nice kill kid. Yeah.
John Holmberg
I mean, that's. Four kids after. She's like a beauty queen for. Even for her age. She still puts the sash on as, like, the greatest woman in Kansas City history. She does all this philanthropy and stuff.
Brett
There's some other ones in there that don't live up to the name.
John Holmberg
They're. The other hunts are the ones Colin can get now. That first hunt is out of his league. That's a hunt too far. But when you Google search Tony Munoz hunt, you'll know which one I'm talking about immediately. He's a billionaire. Colin could have stopped all that. She could have been a Boyd.
Brady
She still sends him thank you cards.
John Holmberg
No, I would have. I'm so glad for the flu. Like everybody says, oh, there's a flu. Flu epidemic going around. And Tony Hunt goes, I love the flu.
Brett
Celebrates it.
John Holmberg
It saved me from being a Boyd. I'd have much rather been a big fat Hunt than I am a Boyd. But Colin texts me all the time, well, here we go again. She's gonna be on that stage every year. He sends me a picture of his TV and there's his. He calls her his ex. It was a one shot, but again, I gotta give him credit. None of us in that building thought anybody. She would wear these short little skirts. She's probably 6ft tall, tiny. And she was 19. Tiny little half shirts and just smiled and laughed and had the most glorious flowing dark hair. Stunning. Hung out with idiots like Colin and I. Because she was in the promotions department. I at the time was dating the lady who was running promotions, a very pretty, statuesque lady herself. 911 almost got her. Damn it. Anyway, even she was mad. She wouldn't like bring. We had a big lunch about it once. Like, you gotta calm down a little bit about. You're the one who hired her on the promo staff. So when she's here, you guys don't have to. I mean, it's just disgusting. Like that's how people were with you and you didn't say a word. Like when you would walk around, she was 5 foot 11, very tall, statuesque woman who walked in a room and people were like, whoa, all right, here we go. It's how you got treated. And you didn't ever go, hey guys, you're making the other ladies uncomfortable. Let's calm down. You liked the attention, now it's going to somebody else. And suddenly the workplace is toxic.
Brett
That's typical broads.
John Holmberg
Typical broads just not getting anything done. It's just, you guys just act like idiots. Like that's how we were with you at first until we got to know you and we realized you're probably going to be a future hunt. I wish he was a future hunt. David kind of puts the Chiefs in perspective for us. The Chiefs winning all the time is sort of like anal sex with an Asian. It's uncomfortable, but it's not that bad. It's just another dick in you. It's true. It's kind of one of those. I won't even throw the Asians in there. Although David's a Mr. Vasquez tends to be a bit bigoted. Just someone with a. A micropene giving it to you in the back door. It could be worse. It's not comfortable. You're not thrilled with it, but you'll get through it with no scarring and probably just go, well, that was weird. Anyway, when's baseball start? Because you know, you didn't want it, but there it is. I watched Brady text me this weekend about AI and I watched four different things this week week about how we're getting real Active on who's going to control. Something's coming around the bend here. We have some technology that we don't know about quite yet that everybody's worried about, like AI. AI is about to make a leap, I think. And all the governments are like, oh, boy. Before this happens, get your hand, hold the plug, lasso this thing and make it ours. Because once it's in somebody else's hands, Katie, bar the door. And with all that being said, and I don't mean to tie these together because I'm not smart enough to do it, it. I also noticed the tech stocks. The NASDAQ started the day down 500 points. Something's brewing. Brady, text me the other. This thing about AI yesterday, I think, right? It gives me some study about it. And to tell you how I heard it, I was outside trimming a tree and I had my meta glasses on, and all I had to do was say said text from Brady. Actually said exceptionally long text from Brady with attachment. And all I had to do while I'm trimming trees is go, hey, meta. And then my phone goes. My glasses go, read Brady's text to me. And it did. And it was all about fearing AI and AIs coming this way and look what we've got to do. And I'm like, wow, that's scary. While my glasses read to me, I was worried about artificial intelligence coming around the corner. I have, like, the most rudimentary version of this.
Brady
The one line that stuck out, stuck out for me on the whole thing. That's why I sent it to you. Last year, researchers at MIT reported that AI systems were already capable of deceiving humans.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. Oh, they've known. That's its whole job is going to be to fool us. So then I, you know, just out of curiosity, started to look around for AI stuff. Just what's it like? What is coming? What don't we know? And how quickly are we going to embrace, like, you know, like the guy who was in Times Square going, everybody carries the camera. I didn't realize that. He said, you know, I hadn't seen that on my, like, 10 minutes of TV a day. We got movies we didn't get, like current events. And he said, everybody walks around with cameras and earpieces and. Because it's scary. How quickly will we embrace the idea of AI? They did a thing. They. 2000 men. This is a good. Pretty good amount of people. Two thousand men were asked in your life right now if it was reasonable or in the very near future in your life. Do you see an artificial intelligence robot or system that could replace a real woman slash lover? The word they use, I can't stand that word. So it said a girl, an AI girlfriend. Do you think you could have an AI girlfriend that could actually replace the human counterpart? Out of 2,000 men, 80% checked. Absolutely. Not like, maybe not like, oh, I could see poss. Absolutely. 80% of men surveyed said an AI girlfriend is a great idea. 80%. 8 out of 1010 men said, I would much rather deal with that than a human. I would have maybe thought 30.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
So I would take a AI thing for a spin.
Brett
AI so real, though, that they're going to complain and bitch too, and not pick restaurants.
John Holmberg
Everything else. I mean, wait, are they programming them to be. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Are they going to all be. I'm not calling you call. You didn't call me for four days, Mr. Flu Haver. I'm like, God, the AI and then the AI thing goes off and marries an AI hunt and run, the AI chiefs. Now the. The scary part to me isn't that dudes would say yes to it, even though that number's huge. It's the idea that, sure, I accept this 100% across the board in my life, and, you know, it's not going to be all on the up and up, like bad guys are going to show up with AI the same way I rode by the that house and thought, hey, you could break into the house this way. Even though he had no intention of doing it, I just saw it so bad people will see what we don't see and do it. 80% of us are all in on, yeah, I'd rather have that than a real human. So how fast can we be fooled when that AI girl we love, if we're willing to love one and have it be a girlfriend, it can start feeding us information and start indoctrinating us. And I know that 20 years from now they'll run this tape and go, this is what they used to think of AI but you know what? No humans will hear it. It'll sound like this. This is what they thought of us. Bock, bok bok bok. Back to the laboratory and they're just whipping us as feeding us all that as we are just energy sources like in the Matrix. 80% of people, even in its infancy, are willing to say, I'd rather have that than a person in my life not thinking that it can be manipulated. TikTok manipulates brains. If you're making love to it. How fast will you change your opinions about stuff? If you've got a sex robot subservient that occasionally pukes out an idea or 2, the AI robot has. And knowing that the AI robot is incredibly intelligent, its ideas probably make a lot of sense. The thing I'm saying is dumb people aren't gonna be able to handle this. We gotta slow down dumb people. AI is already too fast. We're not stopping AI. We need to slow down dumb people. By the way, I'm in that category because if a beautiful robot, it is coming my way, and you're like, well, I might have to. And it makes a lot of sense. Like, it starts adding up, like all its stories are good and plays video games in advance. Video games. It's just like, hanging around the house. Gets up and does stuff when I say so. Never talks about, like, not wanting anything for dinner. The AI robot will never say, I don't know, I could eat something. You decide. I'm gonna start, like, leaning into the AI thing a little bit. I'm one of the dumb ones. I'm looking at a room, I believe, also categorized by dumb ones.
Brett
And you never get the questions. This make me look fat.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it's always ready to go on time. Tell it. Tell an AI. Hey, we got a dinner you got to go to. What time master? Probably about, I don't know, 5:30. Be ready at 5:30. I'll be ready at 5:30. Are we going to have sex before? Yes. Schedule that. I can't wait. Of course you can. I'm all man. You're all the man I ever need. All right, be ready by 5:30. The Chinese have an idea. Oh, yeah? Tell me about that.
Brady
While you twerk?
John Holmberg
Yeah, while you twerk. Throw out a couple of ideas about socialism. You made a lot of sense last time. I was performing oral sex on you and you told me about social. It really sunk in. I'm too dumb. I'm too stupid. In 1966, the most popular show on television in the United States was I Dream of Jeannie. It had a lot to do with how she looked. Also sort of a fantasy that all men had. Like, what? You find a girl, she's beautiful, dresses like a slut and calls me master all day. The one thing we couldn't understand was Major Nelson not diving in on that for six solid seasons. He avoided Genie, he dated. He and his cohort Bill Daley dated chicks. And Jeannie sat back and said, I'm not a fan of that, but whatever you need to do to be happy, master. And every guy watched going, this isn't real. This will never happen. Now it will. They're basically inventing genies. One thing Genie never did was talk about the geopolitical maps of Afghanistan and how important that region is. And like, yeah, she's right. Well, if we don't have these, if the Kashmir mountain range falls into the Pakistani hands, there'll be nuclear warfare in India. This genie's right. Now open your genie legs and listen to me. How dumb I am. I'm performing oral sex on doesn't care. That's like going down on a hooker. What am I thinking? You know, cleanse your. Cleanse your stuff. Schedule me in there for 4:30. I'm gonna give you a good one. Would you like to have anal sex? Of course I'd like to have anal sex. What kind of question is that? You know what? Delete that question from all future days, idiot. I am so sorry. Yeah, well, you should be. You know what? Open your butt now. I'm going in. Yes, master. God damn it. This is great.
Brady
She'll eventually turn. No matter what.
John Holmberg
We won't be alive for that. We get the good stuff, but we're also going to be communists. All in favor of Xi Jinping by the time, you know, week four, Give me four weeks with the AI girlfriend. I'm probably wearing Kim Jong Un's outfits. I'm probably in the neighborhood thing going, no, people have good ideas. My girlfriend just told me.
Brett
So if AI starts talking like dua, it's on.
John Holmberg
They build one whatever you want it to be. Because we're dumb. We're dumb. And ladies, you can sit back. AI guys, we're not even worried about it. That's how dumb men are. Go ahead, have at your AI Guys, you're not going to like them. You can be sick of us, but.
Brett
Trust me, I got AI Momoa. Or you have at abroad.
John Holmberg
Between you're complaining about meals and periods, they built a better beast. Not that we don't love you, but you know, it's kind of like the showroom model of the first year car. It looks great, but then you start saying, oh, there's a few kinks and stuff in here. And then the next couple years they come out with a better one. That's what they're doing to women.
Brady
They'll still find floss.
John Holmberg
And much like golf courses and business meetings and CEOs offices. Ladies, you start. You're not. You don't have your eye on the ball. We as men have been building female Sex robots. For about 35 years since computer chips were invented. It was one of our first ideas. You guys have not. So when these girls start rolling out to the Best Buys, trust me, we'll go to Best Buy again. And you start getting stores where you're buying them. You're gonna be surprised. Ladies. What are you guys doing? They're making sex robots. Lady sex robots. AI ones. They're super awesome. You don't want us anywhere? No, we'll just get ourselves sex robots. Okay. You haven't even started building them yet. You know what you're doing? You're going to be picking it outside the Best Buy, saying, where's ours? Where's ours? Because you're gonna want men to build them for you, just like the masters. Remember the masters? How come we can't play here? Go build your own golf course. I want to be as good as this one. Oh, my God. This is why we invented these ladies.
Brady
And they're built. They get them, and now they don't get half.
John Holmberg
Right. Yeah. Who's gonna pay the bills with a sex robot?
Brett
Man, whoever thought that John Hughes would be telling us the Future back in 84 with Weird Science, it's true. I mean, Michael Anthony hall was.
John Holmberg
Look, a man ahead of his time. Here's the thing that Weird science is kind of a good thing to bring up, because it's the male mind going, we just build this beautiful woman. She can help us get through stuff. The female version of that is Hot Santa. Right? Hot Frosty. I'm sorry. Hot Frosty. Hot Frosty is the movie where the snowman comes to life and romances her, but he's gonna die. All women think about is killing the guy at the end of Hot Frosty. Frosty has to die. Otherwise a woman can't have all of her emotions touched. Like, she goes from sad to greatest guy ever. Fantasy man. And then he melts. Weird Science. All they did was try to figure out how to replicate that, make some money off of it, and have all the dudes be happy forever. It got a little haywire thanks to Chad. Yeah. Which was a hilarious character. He's bonking him with those rifle. Dunk, dunk. When he. I couldn't stop laughing. Hilarious. Bill Paxton was brilliant in Weird Science. Morning sickness. Holg's morning sickness. But you ladies are way behind the eightball on this whole AI thing. Men have already. Not only have we accepted it, we've been building it. And more importantly, 80% when surveyed said, yeah, yeah, I'd like to have that As a girlfriend, it could indoctrinate you into all sorts of political views that you could become a traitor to your nation. Does it take it in the ass? It does.
Brett
Okay, where do I sign?
Brady
I can fight it.
John Holmberg
Does it have periods? It doesn't. Good Lord. It takes in the ass and it doesn't have periods?
Brett
No. Pre vacation periods. Oh, my God.
John Holmberg
I could take this one to Vegas. I have one of those. And not be surprised on the plane. I have to tell you something. Oh, Christ. My servos are shedding the eggs. I'm like, no, not the servo eggs. Is the ass still in play? I have to tell you, I have a gastrointestinal issue that's causing bloating. Oh, not bloating. Who programmed bloating? Don't bloat. You're a robot. We're programming one. And I'm not saying it's right, ladies. I'm saying we're too dumb not to fall into this trap. So your argument's going to be, ladies are going to argue this study with, oh, is that all guys want? Like, you're not seeing the bigger picture here. You guys aren't building man robots. We're going a different direction. You're going to be left out in the cold because we're too stupid and you're too emotional to not see what's really going on here. It's a big deal. Now, I'm all for it for all these incels and get them a girl that loves them and stuff, but it's. It's definitely not normal. But we accepted it, like, immediately. It's not even real yet. And 2,000 guys, 80% completely unafraid to say, yes, I would have one as a girlfriend to replace women. And it wasn't a joke. Like, I'll do it. This, by the way, was the prototype AI girlfriend. This photo right here that they showed the guys, if we can build you one of these, it is. She's not real. She's a stunning thing that's just like yours if you want it for a fee. Now, more than likely it's gonna be like the way cutting the cord for cable was. Seems like a great idea at first, but eventually you're gonna end up paying for all the apps. Like the ass apps. Gonna cost you monthly service for that.
Brett
Oh, man.
John Holmberg
Don't have to feed it.
Brett
That's true.
John Holmberg
You're gonna have the vagina app, the pros and cons. The mouth app. Well, it's gonna. It's gonna be. It's just mouth app.
Brett
Is extra too.
John Holmberg
Of course. It's anywhere there's money, they're gonna do it.
Brett
Jesus.
John Holmberg
Hand app to have it come with that feature. Orgasm squirter. You're paying for all that stuff? Well, there's going to be a few things. I didn't pay for the squirter.
Brady
Mire you got.
Brett
I didn't pay for the orgasm.
John Holmberg
I don't pay. Why do. Although I do kind of want to feel manly every once in a while. Like, I conquered her.
Brett
Well, maybe you can get like a month trial with that, you know, I mean, that's true.
John Holmberg
Oh yeah. First 30 days are free. See if I like it. Maybe every year it gives you like a Christmas orgasm.
Brett
Or you can tear them up together too, you know, get the hand in the mouth here.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get the bundle. Yeah, bundle it up.
Dick Toledo
I think it's going to end up being like a Tesla. You can do the one time fee and get the driverless feature.
John Holmberg
Is it also like the Tesla where if it comes in another color, it's extra?
Dick Toledo
Yes.
John Holmberg
They're all white. Sorry guys. At first the cheap ones are white. You want a little cocoa in there? It's going to cost you to get that wrapped with a W. Come on, follow along. Yeah, I think that the scary part about that one to me wasn't so much that it's available is that it was wildly accepted immediately. There was no fear of it because they're bringing it out with sex first, which again, porn has changed everything. And we again, never in our lives would we have ever imagined having a handheld pornography theater at all. And now it's like probably the second biggest thing on the Internet for money.
Brett
What's the first?
John Holmberg
I figured it would be number one. Having it, buying it. And then the things we look at it are like, it's got to be the most viewed thing. It's gotta be. It's incredible. We'd never imagine that. So when sex gets involved, we get dumb and we, you know, we'll take this. If you have anything else in your life, that's a thousand dollars. And then would you ever say, I'm gonna rub it around in this dirt for a little while? Because that's essentially what you do every time you go to a porn site. And it isn't because of morals. It's because those things are corrupt and always screwing things up. You invite bad guys in, all your accounts are in here and everything else and you, you never even second guess, go into a porn site base like, well, this one looks a little shady. They could get all my account. Nope. She's hot. That's what we say. She's hot. And it'll literally on my phone and Brett's told me the same and half you people at least listening know what I'm talking about. You'll click on one unsafe site. Are you sure? Get out. Come on. Yes. You see the cans on that broadcast and then the next one. You have been.
Brett
Agree to everything you have.
John Holmberg
Agree. Agree. Agree. This uses cookies. We can get into gas. Agree at all times. At all times. Not just when using. Always allow.
Brady
Quit asking me.
John Holmberg
No longer ask. Where's the button to stop asking. No longer allow when cans are like that. Don't ask whether or not I want in. Your phone has several viruses. Dad. Allow.
Brady
Track me.
John Holmberg
Allow. I've never touched. Don't allow. This shouldn't even be an option. Don't allow. Allow either when I'm using it or always allow. Whatever it takes.
Brett
I don't care.
John Holmberg
Now. Yes.
Brady
Let her know my location.
John Holmberg
If I'm clicking around a bank site and it says those exact same things, I'm like, hey, hey, hey, whoa. What's going on here? Don't allow. What? You guys getting into this? Why do you think they're getting in? You think they're getting in through North Point Michigan Bank? No, they're getting in through the porn sites because we're too stupid. It's gonna happen with AI. All right. I want to have anal sex after we get back from the dinner tonight. Doug Hopkins gonna watch. That's all right. That sounds wonderful. And maybe start spewing out some more ideas and Doug can listen to. That would be great. Also, I would like to have your bank account numbers. You got it, baby. You got it. Normal stories. She likes shopping. That thing's gonna get us if we don't recognize our stupidity. I mean, if your phone blew you, you'd let it. It's essentially what's going on here. We've all left handed or right handed discovered how good we are at hitting that little 10 second forward button while we're beating up. You also learned how to hit with my left thumb while keeping an erection. How to get that thing up on the big TV with one finger. I can't play the piano.
Brett
Airplay.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Hit airplay. I can do that with one finger. Guest room. Bam. Play. And I'm still got a minor. It's like playing the drums. I got two things going at once, both on different times and I'm not even thinking about it.
Brett
You're like the Neil. Neil Peer to phones, huh?
John Holmberg
Yeah. If they added 10 more buttons, I'd find them. And that left thumb would be doing it. Meanwhile, I'm keeping beat down here on the bass drum. Literally keeping beat. 80% of men studied. Yeah. I'd take one as a girlfriend right now. And none of the. And by the way, all of these guys, current girlfriends or wives, none of them were like, you know, lonely men at USC were interviewed. You know, like a bunch of Asian math majors or computer science guys. Guys like regular dudes. 80% said yes. The other 20 weren't all just hard nos either. There was kind of middle of the road. The rest of the 80% were all on board. And then the rest were kind of like, ah, I'd look into it. I'm not really. I'm not really saying that it would replace women or human contact. There were still those guys, and frankly, it was younger people that were the ones that said, sort of like, I'm not so sure that's a thing because they haven't experienced life yet. They haven't ever had. Spent a ton of money to go to Hawaii. And they get told on the Delta that you spent first class dough on that. She just started her period in the airport.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
So we'll just lay down some towels or get in the shower. Yeah. Gross. It's not my fault. Oh, it isn't? What, did a wizard visit you at night last night and make it not your fault?
Brett
I didn't do it.
John Holmberg
It's certainly not my fault. You should be in coach. I should be laid down in your seat and my. And you should be in coach. Why are you gonna be such a jerk in the future? Something different gonna be here when we say that. We'll see. Someday we'll see. That's what we mean.
Brett
As a matter of fact, on the flight back, you're flying spirit.
John Holmberg
You're not coming back. This Hawaii, you're going on a boat. You're rowing. All because I can't control my period. Precisely because you can't control it. And you know what women have never done? Men are inventing sex robots. AI say women have never once gotten in a labor and said, how do we slow this thing down? How do we. How do we curb this nightmare that attacks us every 28 days? It's nature. Okay, well, AI sex robots aren't nature, but we're working on them. You guys are assholes. Right? We're tired of that. You know what never calls me that? My Communist AI girlfriend. Do AI never says communist Dua. AI is a If you want to run away with me, I know a galaxy and I could take it for a ride. Would you like to have sex in the butt? Yes. But I'm going to be a socialist.
Brett
Because you bought that bundle.
John Holmberg
I'm too goddamn dumb. Oh, I got to get that the first year. I'm overspending. And you guys are all going to come over?
Brady
Yeah, it's.
John Holmberg
It's an El Camino RV with Crager mags on it. Come on over. Got kicking her. Yeah, this little beauty set me back a little bit, but I see a bright future. Well, what'd you get? Well, she's got all the bells and whistles. The hand, the mouth, the vagina, the butt.
Brady
He's got over 500 extras.
John Holmberg
Did you pay for the foot job thing? Harley Davidson? Not even into it, but the dealership threw it in there. It'll do foot jobs. I'd let you guys have at her, but I haven't driven her enough yet. So I got the keys for a while. All of your friends are very funny. Let me make them sandwiches. I'm telling you guys, you gotta get one of these. Is that what you want? Some sort of slave that agrees with you all day? I don't see a downside to what you just said. You don't want to be challenged? No. 51 years old. I want people who agree with me pretty much all the time. So you don't want anybody in your life that gives you some sort of pushback? Is that what we're doing here? No. No, I don't.
Brett
Well, the pushback, yeah, but that's.
Brady
Is that what's going on here right now?
John Holmberg
Is that what you think I'm interested in? Because we. We've grossly gone down the wrong roads here. You notice how when the dogs do something stupid, I smack them on the butt and I say, knock it off. I'm not allowed to do that to you. I want everything to kind of fall in line. That's what we want. Oh, so you just want someone to suck your butt all day? Yeah, kind of do.
Brady
No, that sounds horrible.
John Holmberg
I sort of do. And I think that's what you would like, too, if you really kind of stop being no nuts and thought about it for a second. That sounds great. When you got, hey, this dude just agrees with everything I say and we're doing all the stuff I like. That's. I'm not seeing the downside here. I've never. I'll tell you, I know a lot of dudes and I've never sat in a room with any of them and had one guy lean to me and go. What I really like is when she challenges my thoughts and we argue. Oh yeah, no, me too. That's the best part of it.
Brady
Strongly agree.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Really? Really?
Brady
Someone agree.
John Holmberg
You're right. Yeah, yeah. I want that box.
Brett
Chicken.
John Holmberg
Strongly agree. And even if I said something that is dumb, you can pay for the app or it challenges you. But I don't.
Brett
I would nobody buy that look. That'd have to be a throw in. If you bought four, you get the one free.
John Holmberg
That's the thing that would really piss off human women is if they saw the statistics on what box we'd check when we built one and one of the apps for like a dollar. All the other apps are like 25 bucks a month minimum. The dollar app is challenges your thoughts and opinions. We wouldn't spend the dollar. Absolutely not. X no. Engages in challenging conversations to your thoughts and feelings. I'm not getting that package. What's that? That's the clear coat of the sex doll. I don't need this. Anal sex two times a month. $400 a month. Yeah, that's. I'm gonna check that one. I'm gonna do that instead of that dollar package where it argues with me.
Brady
Ad free.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Another app. Realistic menstruation. 6 cents a month. No way. Not spending 6 cents a month to have it ruined. Vacations.
Brett
Somebody said optional voice box.
John Holmberg
Right? See handles on head. Is that an option? Not to say we're being misogynistic but ladies, you're missing the boat here. We're stupid and the Chinese are building us stuff and we're not gonna say no to it. Is my point.
Brett
Is there an option for self cleaning for when I get done hosing?
John Holmberg
Yeah, I can't. Donnie wants has to have an option where it like those new litter boxes that spin and clean themselves.
Brady
That's where they're going to get you.
Brett
To the self cleaning mode.
John Holmberg
Oh, that'll be a But again I'd pay for. I'd pay top dollar for that rather than, you know, I won't clean it but I'll take its opinions and it's challenging. Especially in AI girl. It has all of human history. All of recorded human history will be in its brain. I don't want that thing challenging. My opinions are going to prove I'm stupid. I already know that it's coming. And ladies, remember all the times you had to stand outside of stuff we were doing without you with signs that said we want in. That's about to happen again. Except for we've replaced you. It's not just golf courses, and you've done no footwork on this. You have not seen the writing on the wall. You should be building your own. And you know who's not gonna stop you? Dudes, there should be. This sounds like a fantasy, but there should be some sort of science lab of just nothing but brush. Building male sex robots with that app that says challenges my opinion, and you can check that all day long if that's what you're interested in. I don't see it happening. But you know who's gonna have to build those robots? Dudes.
Dick Toledo
So the app that we pay for, I just got this story, and it's run by 11 labs.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
Guess who just secured funding, Venture funding of. Of $250 million at a valuation of $3 billion. The same one that we use to do all of our AI stuff.
John Holmberg
Is that right?
Dick Toledo
Yeah, just. Just came over the news on it. 11 labs. So you're not wrong?
John Holmberg
I'm not wrong. We're. We're just arms open to the whole thing.
Dick Toledo
But this one will allow you to put whatever voice you want into your.
John Holmberg
New AI and women you want. Yeah. Yep. I want to sound like. Yeah, I want to sound like Margot Robbie or D. Lipa, even Ladonna over at ktar. Morning. Would you like to have anal sex? Ladan, down to you this morning in the news, if you weren't with us. Party. God damn it. She's got some pipes. I'm Jim Sharp, KTR News. Brace yourselves. And I'm LaDonna. LaDonna with more news from a female perspective.
Dick Toledo
God damn it. I'm ready for her to give me the news.
John Holmberg
That's right, Jim. She says that all the time. Then Ladana looks like those stocks are. That's right, Jim. I'm not gonna lie, Jim. I shouted that so loud I farted a little. You'll get some of my brew in seconds. Jimmery. Jim. Jim, I put that voice in there if they could prove me, but you get tired of it. He's having a new voice again.
E
Oh yeah.
John Holmberg
Ladonna back in there. Would you like to have anal sex? I'll be ready by 5:30. I'd also like to give you a few ideas about the Chinese government. That's great, Ladonna. Well, you pound me from behind, let me tell you.
Dick Toledo
Did you do the update last night, Ladonna?
John Holmberg
I can shut down for a few minutes and update again, unless you'd like to hear more about the Chinese government. Well, you jam it in my prostate. Do I have a prostate? I'm Ladonna. Ladonna. I think she might have a prostate.
Dick Toledo
It's an electronic one, but it's awesome.
John Holmberg
You know who's gonna build the dude robots? The gay men, of course. And they're gonna come out real super Twinkie, and the ladies are gonna be like, ah, nuts and bolts. They're too gay.
Dick Toledo
You'll notice the new. The new man next door for you.
John Holmberg
In fact, that's what Kiefer just said. If girls programmed AI robots, they'd leave them for a different robot because they made theirs too gay. And they'd tire of it. They'd make a best friend. They'd make the mistake of making a best friend that likes to shop and hang out. They'd make a best friend, and then they'd be like, I'm not even, like, really attracted to my. They'd break up with their robot. Why don't I just get new apps? Like, no, I made you too, Twinkie. I need a dude who's a little bit.
Brett
And then they'd screw that one up too. Yeah, it just. It's just never.
John Holmberg
We'd make a nightmare of this somehow. Look, I'm not gonna blame women for all. I'll tell you this. Men would somehow still end up with std. That would happen because we'd be hosing out our friends.
Brett
We'd be loaning them out.
John Holmberg
Yeah, we'd be borrowing. We'd have a buddy come over and see yours. Like, I gotta have that. And then flip the switch.
Brett
I'll trade you a Margot Robbie for DUA for the night.
John Holmberg
Right? All right. Yeah. And then you'd tell it like, look facially. Recognize Brett for a little bit. He's gonna do you in the butt. You got it there, big fella. Brett, Ladonna's here. Let's get to work. KTIA News. Then you build the cheap version. Heidi Hamo. Ktar. What's going on with her? Nobody build that one. Heidi Hommel. Kta. Are you. Stop it. Then check her out of the list of voices we're using. Ladonna. Ladonna, though. I'm in on that one. I'm Ladonna Harvey, and I'm ready for Reign election. And I'm Jim Sharp. And here's the sharper point. I'm scared of Ladonna. Anyway. What are you gonna do? So 80% of us agree. Ladies. I'm just saying, we're too dumb not to fall for this. Trick. I'm asking, ladies. Think I'm bashing. I'm asking. Will you put your emotions away and get ahead of this before it gets out of control? Because we dudes are not going to be able. We're not going to. There's no talking to us at all in the next two years when this starts rolling out, you're going to lose us. And then this place is going haywire because you guys got emotional about it rather than, oh, the enemy's coming towards us and they have to fight. You have to figure something out here, ladies, because we're too stupid. We're all. 80 of us are already all in. It hasn't even been invented yet. Not even close. Meanwhile, you're sitting there thinking about your girlfriend. You're gonna hate them all. It's gonna be rough. You're gonna be alone. You're gonna be sad. Inventing these bargain basement Spirit Airlines robots. Because all the men are busy banging their real good robots. We invented. We've been doing this for 30 years.
Brett
Oh, man.
John Holmberg
Way behind the. Way behind on this one.
Brett
Chris wants to know if Larry would still get friend zoned by an AI robot.
John Holmberg
Larry's AI robot. Break up with him. I just don't know that it's working out, Larry.
Brady
It'll still be the same. You see that dude?
John Holmberg
Robot, 600 pounds. No. We're already way ahead of that. If there's a dude who does that, we have to as men, stop that.
Brady
And it's like.
John Holmberg
But we're never gonna leave the house. Never gonna leave the house. Anyway, this guy said, I took two seconds to go over and see what you were talking about. I just listened to Ladonna. I'm down mine. She's got deep voice, that's all I'm saying. Mine might be a tad powerful voice. Very strong. I gotta turn those mics down a little bit. A little bit deeper than mine because it literally is. I am Jim Sharp with KTR News. And I'm LaDonna. LaDonna with the same thing. Anyway, 7:38, what do you got on the big board of music?
Brett
All right, Wake Up Song brought to you by Action Ride Shop. We're getting that much closer to the brand new location store number two over there on McDowell and Power. So all you guys that ride out at Haas are going to be in for a treat over there. But you can still go to the OG the main store over there on Gilbert Road in Southern. Still going. Get all your winter gear, all the skiing and snowboard stuff you need as well. As all the bike stuff you need. Best wrenches in town right there at action ride shop, Gilbert Road and Southern again. Or just go to action rideshop.com.
John Holmberg
Youm have to do the Hoffman says make sure you shell out the extra money for the ad. Free AI special lady friend. That's right. You know when ads popping up?
Brady
That's right.
John Holmberg
We should go to Gila river casinos this weekend. I understand they are having a rave. Well, I'm banging in the ass. Don't do ads. You didn't pay for that feature. Damn it.
Brett
Why did a big tarvy commercial come up?
John Holmberg
Jesus Christ. God damn it. We wouldn't even worry about big tarv anymore. Oh, no. Are you about to sing that song about dad while wearing her a 1C while I bang her. Journey Inc. Is really swelled a little bit here with the story to tell. All right, I'm almost done. Stop singing jingles.
Brett
Amy Schumer starts up with her number five.
John Holmberg
But we wouldn't have to worry about it. That's true. That ad would turn me on. Remember when you had to worry about periods? It's pretty great. All right. All right.
Brett
On the list, a lot of stuff for the burglaries, Drowning Pool, Step up for the burglar, Anthrax, I am the law for the guy who shot the burglar. Shoot to Thrill for whom the bell Tolls, Breaking the law, Shotgun Blues for the burglar, Jane's Addiction, Been caught Stealing, Heartbreaker for the Bills fans, Funeral Bell for Bills fans, Ultra Bridge Creed, Bullets for the burglar and Megadeth.
John Holmberg
You imagine having a bunch of money, too. Like, you're still, like, working real hard and you got a bunch of money and you go over to your home, they got like 12 or 13 of them, and they like, they're all all cool with it, man. Who would you like to make an Asian one, a black one. It's gonna be like you're the Jay Leno of the the. Like. He's got a garage full of cars. He's got every model ever. That's a 2024 over here, Ladonna. That's a good one. He's got a deep voice, though. So sometimes at night, the neighbors would complain. She ch a little bit, say, I got a new one over here. This is the Italian version. It comes with hair if you want a little mustache. You can feel that tickle yet. Here's an Armenian one. They're short and constantly demand plastic surgery.
Brady
Had a whole new spin to the bear.
Brett
They like black guys a lot so.
John Holmberg
Yeah, the black guys seem to be. This is the model they love the most. Sort of trollish fat, but they. They end up looking great after like 10 years on the blocks.
Brady
20, 25 at the Barrett Jackson, people.
John Holmberg
Yeah. This is the car from French Connection. Come on. No more cars. You came to bear tracks. You don't want to see cars. You know what we want again? If phones had a little adapter with a mouth on them, we'd use it. They're building full bodies. We're too dumb. Ladies, the future is yours. Hopefully you're ready.
Brady
It's a 2020 Margot Robbie.
John Holmberg
Yes. Oh, that's the Wolf of Wall street one. Help. Think of it. Women. We're too dumb. For 50 years, once they invented plastics that you could inflate. Look at the things we would stick it in. Those weird blow up dolls were actually a pretty good money maker for people. We were in on it. And what did guys always say? Teach it to get me a beer and I'd marry it. They did. Now serious ladies. You're gonna sit around Postinos like. Did you realize how serious those guys were? I haven't seen a man outside in two years. They meant it. I didn't realize they. They just wanted a beer and no periods. That's right. You guys never once went to the lab and said, we gotta. We gotta get ahead of this. This is screwing stuff up. No. Just made us take it till we built something else. We used to live in huts until one guy said, you don't even build these out of brick. Make them square and stuff and they're better. It's called progress. Whatever you want to put up there, I'm fine with. The heartbreaker is not bad. Motorhead Bill's fans. Take a. Take a bite of that.
Brett
We do that.
John Holmberg
My buddy Jordan's up right now. He's a Chiefs fan. He shouldn't even be awake. There's no reason for him. He should be out like a light after yesterday. They got the night game. The chief. Of course. Then again, maybe you're just bored with it at this point. When an AFC championship. Nobody's ever done three. It's pretty impressive. Very impressive, actually, but whatever. Chiefs, you want to do that one? Yeah.
Brett
Give me one second.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you got to load that up. Other than that, I gotta let you know that at about an hour and 20 minutes I'm gonna announce you Fest 2025 5, which is happening on April or May 3rd. I'm sorry, May 3rd. That's what's going to happen there. May 3rd hell of a show at Talking Stick Resort. A really good one. And all I know is if you come dressed as an alien, there's a chance that the show stops. Just saying. Found out something we didn't know. Come dressed as an alien and everything could go sideways. There's one of the bands, and I'm not going to say which one hates aliens, like, a lot.
Brady
The space guy.
John Holmberg
And not even. Yeah, well, maybe. I don't know. We didn't get too deep into that. Maybe that's what they meant. Weren't allowed to have any, like, references or drawings of any sort of spacecraft at all on the promotional work.
Brett
Let's just say it's Not Power Man 5000.
John Holmberg
No, no. Yeah. No. Those guys encourage all. Let's just say you'll never see this band with Power Man 5000. Because when worlds Collide. And it's a great band, but that was a weird thing. It's like, nope. We just don't want any association with them. That's interesting. Okay. And it was no big deal. But it was surprising that they drew a line there like, we won't do the show if you have alien stuff. I'm like, okay, so I'm going as alf. There's no question I'm gonna be dressed as alf. I'm. Hey, Willie. Just for fun. But we'll announce that at about nine this morning. It's a good show. May 3rd, clear your day and we'll get you all the info at 9 o'clock this morning. I'd wait. I'll probably do it before, but I'm trying to be nice this time. Let's do some Motorhead, shall we? It's Heartbreaker.
Dick Toledo
It's not weird.
John Holmberg
It's pretty cool, actually.
Dick Toledo
No membership fee.
John Holmberg
I have heard enough of this morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Gotta give credit. I've been. My whole rant this morning was based on women paying attention. And Gina. Gina, you're brilliant. She fires over. She said, this is all we need. No need to listen to you men ramble on about how much smarter you are. Well, you never really needed to listen to her. She just accepted. But she sent over a thing that looks like a. Like Chuck Norris is working out. It's called the Love Sense Automatic Sex Machine Machine. It's basically a bench, a couple of posts. It's got some pistons and some things. And I gotta hand it to women, because when they say they don't need us they never try to build Us, they build some sort of weird workbench with like tubes and buttons and pipes and pumps and pistons. We build you. We want flesh. We want the body. We want a replica. You guys want? Want. You know that weird spot next to the kids clothes at Sears with the Craftmatic, all the toys and the craftsman stuff and like, huh. They want a garage of sex. So they may be ahead of us. I may have to take a back seat to that whole build your own. They may be ahead of us. But again, Brady brought this up and I didn't think of it the way Brady did was like, how are you going to pay your bills without a man? Though when Brady said that, it made a lot of sense. That's all I'm saying. Gina has sent it over. Ladies, if you're into it, it's on Amazon.com. it's not love sense. It's lovense. L O V E N C E N S E. Sorry. L O V E N S E. Lovense. Leave it to a lady to make it hard to say love. Ens. Automatic sex machine. We're a little bit more sex robot. We don't come up with cute names for it. Take a look at that thing. Brett put love and automatic sex machinery. It's a little insulting that they're not trying to at least build Brad Pitt. They don't even want human form, just a workbench. How you spell L O V E? N S E. And Gina, I got to give it to you. Thank you for this. This is eye opening. And by the way, the reason that the tech.
Brett
The 55% off right now.
John Holmberg
There you go. The tech market has crashed is AI. China released an AI app today that made us all freak the F out.
Brett
So what kind of product would you like to look up here?
John Holmberg
Well, that's the thing. It's the. It's whatever this is. This little bench. This man replacement.
Brady
There it is. The machine.
John Holmberg
The machine. Yeah, that's it. Love and sex machine. Bottom right. There it is. That's what they built. Wow.
Brady
Basically, that's mini.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's the travel pack. That's on a couch. Ouch.
Dick Toledo
That's your new peloton.
John Holmberg
And I've seen these on porn and I find them.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Very utilitarian.
Dick Toledo
So you can put it at any angle.
John Holmberg
Yeah, but ladies turn into men when it comes to this. It's just like, look, get me the workbench.
Brett
Careful, but quiet.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I don't need adjustable. I don't need skin. I don't need to feel them. I don't need a stupid 260 strokes per minute. I gotta start.
Dick Toledo
Briggs and Stratton, man.
John Holmberg
18, 19, 20. All right, I'm 200. If I kept the pace. I just did. I did 10 seconds. I'm 200aminute at what I just did. And I can keep that number. 200 is pretty good. No, you don't want to go crazy. You got to mix it up, Brett. Varying speeds, it's like pitching. You can't just keep throwing the heater.
Brett
Yes, but can you. Is your. Is your length adjustable to your stroke? Adjustable? Adjustable?
John Holmberg
No.
Brett
There you go. Stroke length adjustable.
John Holmberg
What is that? Oh, man. So it can pump. It's like. It's like my fox shocks on my bike. 4s or 36s, I can loosen that up to trail.
Dick Toledo
What's the price on that?
John Holmberg
You control the depth with your phone. Well, ladies, I gotta hand it to you, but I bet you.
Brett
Oh, you can get attachments too.
John Holmberg
No question. Look, and let me just say, you're welcome, Gina and all the other ladies. Clearly we built this self greasing system. It's self lubricate, unlike women. Oh, my. It comes with a couple of stands. It's like a guitar rack, only it's got. Yeah.
Brett
How much are we paying for this thing here?
John Holmberg
Yeah. What's that thing run a guy?
Brett
400 bucks.
John Holmberg
That's reasonable.
Brett
Well, it's normally 800. It's on sale right now for Valentine's day. So free shipping. There you go. Go.
Brady
What's the. And the bigger model, I wonder? That's the mini.
John Holmberg
Go back to the first. Yeah, the big model was. I think you put it on the wall like a tonal. I go back one. We go to their bottom, right? That's the one. Well, that's the same thing.
Dick Toledo
Wow.
Brett
Is this the Rico Blaze version design.
Brady
But maybe it's bigger.
John Holmberg
Is it? I don't know. I think it's just in a different room. The other one was on a couch.
Brett
Oh, this one's three grand originally priced. Or 2200.
John Holmberg
Sorry. That takes up a whole. You need room for. For that.
Brett
Get a thousand bucks off right now. Free shipping. So 1098.
John Holmberg
So $1098. You get $4000 of merchandise to bang your wife.
Brett
Oh, wait a minute.
John Holmberg
Hang on. While you're not around. That's reasonable.
Brett
Wait a minute. No. 1400 bucks. Because I had both included there. 700 discount and 10 bucks extra gets your personal lube.
John Holmberg
Here's the thing, ladies. In a year's time, you're going to call A real man to come over. Because you don't understand how three in one works. And this thing's making all sorts of noise. What is three in one? When I bought it, yeah. You gotta add oil and gas. You got a three in one. What does it mean? It's like a recipe, but you don't cook for man anymore, so you don't remember that.
Dick Toledo
Go to autozone, get some Lucas oil.
John Holmberg
They have the three in one in a little too. But if you need two of them, be careful because you'll overdo it. Your weed eater won't work anymore.
Brett
Let's see what customers also bought with that, shall we?
John Holmberg
I've ruined more things with three in one oil because I'm stupid. Stupid.
Dick Toledo
That's the flash.
Brett
Oh, the Bluetooth adapter here.
John Holmberg
Oh. I struggle with the three in one. I tried to make my own once.
Dick Toledo
Three in one oil and gauze pads. That's all you need.
John Holmberg
Three in one is just. Thank God they mix it up and put it in a thing for you. And then on the back of his. Don't use all of it. Like I know. So they. For dumb guys like me, they have individual packages. You can use all of this one. Don't go pouring all that. Three in one in some. Something.
Dick Toledo
Are those the attachments?
Brett
These are what customers also bought.
Dick Toledo
Oh, oh.
John Holmberg
So you can buy the AA powered.
Brett
Remote control thrusting male masturbator for $87.
John Holmberg
That's for us?
Brett
Yes.
John Holmberg
We put that in there and it does the work. Hands free, beaten off. Yeah. Wow. These computer giants.
Brett
You can bundle that too?
Dick Toledo
Well, bundle and save is always bundlerewski.
John Holmberg
I'm in. All right. Anyway, what do you want?
Dick Toledo
Was that one more expensive than the thruster?
Brett
No. No.
John Holmberg
Okay. It looked like 295.
Brady
99 package.
John Holmberg
50 off today, though. Get you that thing for 147.50. How about that? Anyway, well, there you go. Enjoy your lives because this is a mess. A mess. This says the reason your stocks are falling is they produced AI in China on the same level as the Western countries. Using fewer resources. Made the tech companies like Nvidia, which, if you have anything in stock, you've got tons of that seem less valuable if you've got a 401k. If you've got a.
Brett
Don't look at it.
John Holmberg
If you've got an investment, it'll bounce back. Call Trajan and say, what do we do? Yeah, we're fine, we're fine. The Chinese have gotten in the way. We'll fix it.
Brett
It's time to buy.
John Holmberg
Yeah, maybe. Yeah, that's true. It's time now for Brady to give us all the news that only Brady knows. We call this the Brady Report. Brady Report.
Brady
Good Monday morning to you, Phoenix.
John Holmberg
Hello, world.
Brady
Happy National Crapper Day.
John Holmberg
John Crapper.
Brady
It's a British holiday dedicated Thomas Crapper. 1800, 1800s. Plumber. He's not the reason for the word crap, though.
John Holmberg
They say that just to keep his family. Okay, but he is.
Brady
What's your average length of toilet time?
John Holmberg
Time on a number two phone has changed that.
Brady
Well, recent study warned you shouldn't sit on the toilet for longer than 10 minutes.
John Holmberg
10 minutes would be about the maximum that I would ever be on a toilet. Anyway. That's ridiculous.
Dick Toledo
That's a long.
John Holmberg
What's going on in your life, that ten minutes of pooping?
Brady
Well, because you got lost in there and. Yeah, well, I'll.
John Holmberg
I'll scroll. But even then, prolonged toilet time is.
Brady
Connected to weakened pelvic muscles. Increase the risk of hemis.
John Holmberg
As if you're shoving and pushing.
Brady
Basically, it's a gravity problem. The longer you sit, the more your blood rushes to that area.
John Holmberg
Wouldn't that be true of all sitting then?
Brady
I guess if you're pooping.
John Holmberg
That's what I'm saying, you're straining. So for 10 minutes of dumping and you're still pushing. That's the problem. It isn't the sitting down.
Brett
Well, don't they have those little stools that you're supposed to. Yeah.
John Holmberg
You know what else you're supposed to do? And it's hard to do. But while you're sitting there, if you cross your legs like a lady, knee over knee tumbles out of you like you're a 1930s prostitute. Balls.
Brett
Have you tried it?
John Holmberg
Yep. It's just really hard to do. Yeah, because you're gonna move your. Well, your stuff has to go down like Jane gum. And then you. And then you throw your leg over your other leg and sit like a lake. I'm telling you, it's like cutting the top of a bag of potatoes open and turning it over.
Brady
Couple of baseless fun facts. Unlike most mammals, cetaceans, which include whales, dolphins and porpoises, they're called. They're under cetaceans.
John Holmberg
No, thanks for that.
Brady
They must consciously choose to breathe.
John Holmberg
Right. Because they'll drown. They've consistent. Got lungs, basically. Right. The blow hole.
Brady
Yeah, they gotta pop that hole.
John Holmberg
That was hot.
Dick Toledo
There's an isolation.
John Holmberg
Gotta pop that hole.
Brady
The NBA. The NBA didn't start using the three point line until it's like 81, 83, 1979, 80 season. And it wasn't used universally in college basketball or in the NCAA tournament until 1986.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it was late. I remember that. I think that was the Steve Alford year with Indiana. They had the first three pointer. That might be the wrong guy, but.
Brady
In the first eight NBA seasons, teams averaged less than five 3 point attempts per game.
John Holmberg
It was now low percentage. Nightmare shot. Coaches would get mad at you for shooting unless you were the one guy on the team that was pretty good at it. Not now. They're shooting 35 a night.
Brady
38.
John Holmberg
It's crazy. The Celtics 60 and it's ruining the game.
Dick Toledo
It is.
John Holmberg
I watched the Wizards and Sons the other night. I had Dale as my companion already. I was behind the eight ball for a fun night. Wizards are in town and I got Dale sitting next to me. And then they go heaving up threes all night long.
Dick Toledo
Is he brutal comfortably in that seat? Is there no space for a guy like him?
John Holmberg
Yeah. And the good thing for Dale Saturday, he fits in the seat. It's not comfy.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
But there was a Ralphie sized guy. First Ralphie sized guy I've seen since Ralphie. Sitting about four rows up. Decent looking girl. No. In front of us. And I mean just taking over half of the aisle, half of the seat next to him. And the girl next to him just kept leaning over, kissing him on the cheek. He had this weird Gandalf cape kind of thing. No, she got in there. I mean, she, she. She craned her neck over and got through that mountain of a shoulder and laid one on his cheek.
Dick Toledo
That view that you had is how we. This view we had in Pittsburgh, when.
John Holmberg
Ralphie sat next to me in Pittsburgh and you were. Yeah, you were quarter of my seat. One quarter.
Brady
The cork was ready to pop.
John Holmberg
And Ralphie was just blobbing over into not only my seat, but the seat next to him on the other side too.
Dick Toledo
If I remember right, one or both of you was wearing those bumblebee jerseys.
John Holmberg
I had the Bumblebee. Bumblebee, yeah. For sure. They didn't make the bumblebee big enough for him. Those stripes would have made him look twice as big.
Brady
Beverly Hills was named after Beverly Farms, Massachusetts. That town was named after a town in England, Beverly, Yorkshire, England. And that town was named in 700 AD because of a colony, a colony of beavers. So Beverly Hills is named after medieval English beavers, sort of.
John Holmberg
Twice removed, circuitously. So all women named Beverly also probably named after beavers. The Great English beaver of the first century.
Brett
I just had it stuffed.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Nice beaver, John.
Dick Toledo
Can I start an F45 with all of these Sibians? Am I gonna go to jail for it?
John Holmberg
Even know what an F45 is?
Dick Toledo
It's one of those workout places. Places.
John Holmberg
Oh, is that what he's got going on?
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And you work out the robots?
Dick Toledo
No, no. He's asking if he can start that with just those in a room. Class charge people a monthly.
John Holmberg
Not a bad idea.
Dick Toledo
Monthly interchange.
John Holmberg
Like. Yeah.
Brady
Drill classes.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's pretty good. I like that. Brady's right. I kind of like that. So what do they call that? The fit.
Dick Toledo
So is core.
John Holmberg
What do they do? The thing where everybody's Kimmy Granger screaming and yelling at the same time and. Yeah, they get too excited about it. Lisa.
Dick Toledo
I went to one of those Orange Theory with Lisa. Those are kind of similar to that.
John Holmberg
They'll kill you.
Dick Toledo
Real cheery.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Yeah. They're too happy to be working out. Nobody's that happy working out. I think they make everybody yell.
Dick Toledo
I've been doing this for about eight years now, and I just love getting in this bike.
John Holmberg
Years ago, years ago, Megan was running those cycling classes, and I was liking bikes at the time. It was right when I first started liking bikes a lot. So probably 12, 15 years years ago. You need to come to a cycling class with me. Like, no way. It's too girly. No, it's not. They have lots of guys in there, and everything's great. I'm like, no, it's girl stuff, like those cyclists. And by the way, I'm not going anywhere. I don't like stationary bikes. That's boring. Just come with. I bet you can't do it. I'm like, all right, I'll go. But if it's girly. It's not. They play cool music and everything. Walk in, nothing but broads. No. Then a lady came in, like, weird pink leotard, head to toe, like, you know, Doug Henning gave her her outfit. She comes in and she goes, the regular instructor's not coming today. My name's Sky Madonna. And I don't know what she was. She hops up on the bike and she goes, close your eyes and follow the color yellow.
Brett
I'm leaving yellow.
John Holmberg
And I looked over and she goes, it's not normally like this. I'm like, it is exactly like this. I said it was.
Dick Toledo
You got the outlier.
John Holmberg
You should try it. Never. And later, there was some other thing. She's like, you should try this thing. I'm doing. It's like slow. You go real slow so you, like, have a weight in your hands and you do, like a squat that takes a minute real slow and you're on your toes. And I'm like, well, A, that looks terrible. B, I know there's some broad in the room talking through, like, you know, she's reading. She's telling you about your star sign or something. No, it's not where it is. Go online and look the Aquarius moon rise. I'm like, I told you.
Brady
Let it burn.
John Holmberg
Never go to those giant girl warehouses. The weirdest one is jab boxing. Nobody teaches those women how to box and they all come out as fat as they were a year later as when they started. Unless they change their diets because no good instructors are in there telling you how to punch. They'll punch like sissies. They just think if they touch the bag, weight's gonna fall off of them. Like, teach them how to punch jab. Thriller. I don't think we're doing it. Yeah, it's too late already. I'm sorry. Thriller came back in again. I was good. We're gonna try to get a square.
Brady
Came in on fire.
John Holmberg
You can hang out with us if you want to, but we got stuff to do. The Thriller came in. Sorry. Nice afternoon.
Brady
Horrible food news.
John Holmberg
Well, I told him. Well, you. You weren't. You didn't, like, get up for this, did you? Oh, you were already here. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Thank God. I'd have. I just.
Dick Toledo
Now we gotta send him to breakfast.
John Holmberg
I just hand him money at this point. Here's $100. I'm sorry about that.
Brady
A team of researchers from Harvard School of Public Health just released a new report with data going back almost 50 years. The bad news is that processed meats like bacon, hot dogs, sausage, pepperoni and ham increase the risk of cognitive decline and dementia by 13%.
Dick Toledo
Really concentrated on reading that sentence.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that was a good one. But I'm really, really concentrated. Those are those moments I wish I would. Ah, you missed wish. Those moments when in second grade you get a little star on your shirt. That's a hard one. You did real good on that.
Brady
Experts do say, though, increased risk could be reversed by replacing bacon with salmon. Or any fish, really.
John Holmberg
Communism.
Brett
Pure old communism.
John Holmberg
It's run of the mill communism.
Brady
More. How do you get that?
Brett
Hanging out with those show folks.
John Holmberg
Hollywood. Hanging around with them. Hollywood.
Brady
Last year, the World Cancer Research Fund.
John Holmberg
Salmon instead of bacon.
Brett
No, that is pure communism.
Brady
The World Cancer Research Fund linked consumption of processed Meats with an uptick in cancer rates among young people.
John Holmberg
Yes.
Dick Toledo
I'll take two over easy eggs, some hash browns and some salmon.
John Holmberg
Poppycock indeed, my friend. Jesus christ. The Chinese AIs already gotten to your room. Try to teach you to eat salmon over bacon. I'd rather have cancer. I take my heart attack every day rather than eating salmon bacon. Give me whatever he's got over there, Thriller. I'm not eating salmon.
Brady
Bacon. That's right.
John Holmberg
Let me tote £750 around on one dead leg. I'll take that over your salmon bacon. Has it got gravy on it?
Brady
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
Better. Bacon flavored gravy. I gotta go. Brady and salmon. I don't anything better than eating salmon as a breakfast. Breakfast food. I'm not Jewish. I gotta go.
Brady
This Florida man in his 40s just landed himself in a medical journal after his crazy diet turned his hands, feet and elbows a light orange color.
Dick Toledo
Oh, yeah, I saw this.
Brady
They diagnosed him with something called xantha.
John Holmberg
Don't even do it. You're gonna hurt. No, no. Come on, let's go. Don't look at me like I'm gonna know that. You're right. You could have said anything right there.
Brady
It's when your cholesterol gets so high, fat starts building up under your skin. It causes yellow or orange deposits, actually, around your eyes. But it can happen anywhere on your body.
John Holmberg
Is it X, A, N?
Brady
It's xantha. Asthma.
John Holmberg
I just asked, is it X A N or is it.
Brady
Oh, how it's spelled.
John Holmberg
Yes. X A, N, X, A, N, T, H, I, A, T, H, E, L, E, L. Oh, you're not saying. Yes, you said xanthasma. There's no L in that. What are you gonna do? Let me see it. You threw an L in there in the spelling. And then. Let's take a look. It's xanthelasma. They have it.
Dick Toledo
That's what happens. And all of the cholesterol.
Brady
I said.
John Holmberg
You said.
Dick Toledo
I say every time. You said it before.
John Holmberg
That's what I was trying to spell it because it sounded easy to spell. Xanthelasma. Yeah. You said xanthasma one of the time.
Brady
No. Well, when I started.
John Holmberg
Well, as you said it. Either way, that's what you said. Don't yell at me. Yellow hands.
Brady
I actually started zenful.
John Holmberg
But nobody heard that. When you got.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
When you got real excited.
Brady
And then it's asthma.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
So. So anyway, there's the hands. I didn't know they were up there.
John Holmberg
Yeah, we've been staring at him for a while. Thriller. I want you to come back.
Brady
Told them he was following the carnival carnivore diet for eight months.
John Holmberg
Hold on. He's walking.
Brady
So he was eating hamburger meat, cheese and full sticks of butter.
John Holmberg
Well, maybe that's what he's got on his hands.
Dick Toledo
Where's Ralphie? Full sticks of butter.
John Holmberg
Now we're talking. Get that salmon off my plate. Give me one of them Lando Lakes blocks.
Brady
His cholesterol was over 1000. Anything above 200 is bad.
John Holmberg
Says you.
Dick Toledo
Do you fillet your stick of butter about Ralphie or Butterfly?
Brady
What do you do?
John Holmberg
I don't. Butterfly. They eat it straight out of the package. Rare. Rare like your mother.
Dick Toledo
Wow.
John Holmberg
Rare like a Father's Day card at Toledo's house.
Dick Toledo
There you go.
John Holmberg
All right. I'll just get to it in a second though. I'm not going yet. Oh, two more stories about people eating raw butter and less stories about bacon being replaced by a fish. Okay, now I'll go see you. Thriller.
Brady
There's one last food story real quick. This New Jersey restaurant is getting hammered because of the item on the menu. It's the Aqua Blue kitchen and cocktails. They're serving the Proud Boys Burger. Burger. The owner thought it would be funny to have that burger on the menu.
Brett
Sure sounds hilarious.
John Holmberg
Hilarious. People really tie those things together. Funny. And that.
Dick Toledo
What if it's delicious?
John Holmberg
I'd eat it. Put it on the Chick Fil a menu. They won't care.
E
I'll fit right in.
Brady
It's made of white American cheese, onion.
John Holmberg
Ring, layers of truth, mayonnaise, has to millions.
Brady
Pickles. Freedom fries. Cancel cancer, cancel culture. Coleslaw. That's a jam right there.
Dick Toledo
Too many C's.
John Holmberg
That's a lot. A lot of C words for Brady. Unlike those.
E
If you're tired of the Cs, replace it with the K. That's easier.
John Holmberg
That's true. If you just spell it in your head with a K. And he probably does.
Brady
It's a good chance of that.
Dick Toledo
Three in a row.
John Holmberg
Kkk. That burger's available tomorrow. The Aqua and the Proud Boy KKK burger. We thought it'd be hilarious at the James Earl Ray Burger. And people are mad at us.
Brady
Got an elementary school principal that's in trouble. Through a kegger for students.
John Holmberg
Elementary.
Brady
Cocoa Beach, Florida, near Cape Canaveral. Several has been arrested after throwing a massive rager last Sunday night. Apparently guests included elementary school teacher and more than 100 students.
John Holmberg
In fairness, Florida Elementary School, everybody's over 21.
Brady
Yeah, yeah. There was a lot of booze. Authorities say one minor was arrested for DUI after leaving the party.
John Holmberg
What? On his Huffy elementary school.
Brady
I know.
John Holmberg
Were they driving? Yeah. Like I said, they're all 21. Yeah. I'm not wrong. It wasn't a joke. Statistics.
Brady
Another had to be treated by EMTs.
E
For what?
Brady
The principal did not say.
John Holmberg
Right.
Brady
For alcohol related.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. They drank him into the corner.
Brady
Yeah. They're out on the principal's lawn, passed out. The principal did not have any regrets at the time. In fact, she saw the flashing lights out front. She turned off all the outdoor lights and forced EMTs to treat the kid using only truck headlights.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Brady
She was charged with child neglect, contributing to delinquency of a minor holding an open house party.
John Holmberg
Can't do that with the kids.
Brady
It's a bad call. Principal.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Should have thought that through.
Brady
And finally, this happened after midnight on January 12th. We're now hearing about it in Fort McMurray. It's a town in Canada, about 250 miles north of Edmonton. Temperature is in single digits. Guy got into a fight out front of a bar. They took it outside. The dude dropped down, hit. Hit on his gut.
John Holmberg
Huh?
Brady
He was fighting.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
And it went to the ground.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
And his penis, since the ground was frozen, stuck to the. The sidewalk.
John Holmberg
He's nude.
Brett
What was his crank.
Brady
His pants came down during the fight.
John Holmberg
Off in the fight.
Brady
Yep.
E
It wasn't a fight at that point.
John Holmberg
No. At that point, it's two men about to make love. Yeah. Your pants come down. That dude's got a secondary idea in the fight.
E
He pulls your belt off during a fight. It's not a fight.
John Holmberg
No. Run. You're no longer in a fight. You're now a rape victim. If you stand there with your dukes up, you're gonna lose. That guy's already got your belt. Yeah. If you lose a belt in any situation, even you, Thriller, like, it's probably pretty easy to get your belt. You put up quite a fight, though. If I started to reach for that.
E
Area, I'd be unhappy.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
And it didn't happen right away because they separated it. He was already on the ground. Then the police came in, in, kept him on the ground, arrested him, and as they were pulling him off, he.
John Holmberg
Was stuck to the earth.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Thriller's right, though. You don't. You don't start losing pants parts and remain in a fight. Oh, Scientology sent me something. Larry just brought it in. Some of my mail is from the Scientology people. Oh, boy.
Brett
Well, they're a little late spring. Been. Been a while.
John Holmberg
You're gonna be a volunteer, right? It's a volunteer. Oh, boy. Larry, I'm gonna let you open that in case there's ricin in it. Thriller came in early this morning because we were gonna do a square. Since we did a boycott squares, we. We did a. We embargoed them because he had not been wished happy birthday by our Happy. The girl who works here only to give out happy birthdays named Emily Newcomcrantz. Oh, they gave me a DVD and everything. So Emily skips Thriller. We find out Thriller's worked here for nine years and never once gotten a birthday. Even hurt you. Tripp came in and apologized. So we said, no squares until this gets rectified. Tripp said happy birthday. Did Emily finally send you a belated one? Yes, she did.
E
And a lot of the listeners did also. Very thankful for that.
John Holmberg
That's nice. So you feel.
Dick Toledo
Were they all nice?
John Holmberg
Most were.
E
Like one or two weren't, but that's fine.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it's okay. You're gonna get those people.
E
And I did make sure to reply to all of them if I haven't replied to yours because literally our software detected spam.
John Holmberg
Thriller, they don't care.
E
I know. I'm just saying.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they just wanted.
Dick Toledo
Great excuse.
John Holmberg
Yeah, exactly.
E
I didn't see it. I didn't see it.
John Holmberg
Our software isn't broken. He's lying. I don't know why you're lying about that. We're all capable of emailing back to people. Just some of them aren't gonna get one.
Brady
I got a couple of quick, pretty videos.
John Holmberg
That's what I want Thriller to do. That's why I want you to do play by play on our videos today. Keep it classy. Of course. Radio friendly. Yep. This is Thriller's job today. All right, here we go. What do you got?
E
Starting in front lawn. Got a father and son looks like about to play some ball or toss like. Oh, the kite with the kid. He's holding it.
John Holmberg
Going across the street running, right? Oh, yeah.
E
Dented skull on that one all the way.
John Holmberg
He could go all the way. Oh, look at the little guy running. Oh, gee. Right into the.
E
Just down there being.
John Holmberg
Look at him run, though.
E
He's running so happy. Oh, it's just immediate, isn't it?
John Holmberg
Kind of satisfying though, Thriller, to watch a kid running that freely. Take one. He's too happy.
E
He needs punishment.
John Holmberg
Yeah. He needs to be punished for being.
E
I could never run.
John Holmberg
Show off. Yeah. Little jerk.
Brady
The one before that One didn't come up, huh?
John Holmberg
That's right.
Brady
I had. Yeah.
John Holmberg
All right.
Dick Toledo
Do this one, and I'll try.
John Holmberg
Yeah, go ahead. Here we go.
E
This is a airport barbershop bar.
John Holmberg
A barber shop.
Dick Toledo
The description is a recipe for sushi.
John Holmberg
Okay, Just put.
Dick Toledo
Throwing that in.
John Holmberg
It's just a surveillance camera over a barber shop floor. Evidently. I would have never guessed barbershop. Here. Here we go. I think I'd have gone airport, too.
E
This is security camera.
John Holmberg
Some dude started running long before a truck blew through the barber. Oh, no.
E
I mean, like, it goes. This is clearly going to strip mall or something. Because this goes through not only the barbershop, but the store before and the store after.
John Holmberg
Whatever's next. Yeah, the barbershop's just the center punch.
E
Oh, my gosh.
John Holmberg
All right. Right. You got a third one, Brady. Yep.
Dick Toledo
Here it comes.
John Holmberg
All right. Oh, sensitive content. I don't.
E
Starting sign. Let's see it.
John Holmberg
Here we go. Don't click, Cy. Oh, we got garage door.
E
Lifting it, trying to load up a pallet for delivery.
John Holmberg
And it crushes him. Genie called genie and tosh him in the rib cage. Snapped him. Oh. Oh, my God. A garage door came smashing down.
E
Oh, no, buddy.
John Holmberg
Tell him. Say it. You're never gonna walk again.
E
Well, I don't know what half of him got smushed. If it's the top half or the bottom half. It was clean down the middle.
Brady
Well, it started at the top.
John Holmberg
Garage door. Guillotine.
E
Yeah, straight up. He's just trying to, you know, walk out of the garage door to get his pallet filled in.
John Holmberg
All right, now the real challenge. All right, here we go. Corey.
Brett
I'm mild today, so I'm gonna. I'm gonna play the two that I got, and then I'm gonna dig back.
John Holmberg
Okay. Grab a classic. Get a classic for Corey. Oh, boy. Thr. Classic classics with thriller. Thriller. Classic theater.
Brett
We'll just start off with this little motorcycle.
John Holmberg
There we go. Start it off. Go ahead, Corey. First one, some hot dogging.
E
Well, here we go. Got a bike falling over.
John Holmberg
We just did this Friday.
E
His leg is completely bent as he crashes off.
John Holmberg
His bike does a pretty good job of, like, this.
E
Oh, God. It just completely just snapped backwards.
John Holmberg
Oh, there's a picture.
Dick Toledo
After last.
E
Afterwards, we see his foot dislocated. Gone, Bleeding. It's just off the ladder. It's actually still intact by a miracle.
John Holmberg
That's not scary. How is his foot hanging on?
E
It's. Yeah.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God.
E
He's at least missing three bones.
Brett
But how about this?
John Holmberg
One.
Brett
Here's a little whoops.
John Holmberg
All these leg injuries for Thriller. You guys are kind of insensitive.
Brett
Here's a little whoops.
E
All right, there's. Oh, yeah, she's going to work all by herself back there. Got a friend also.
John Holmberg
What does that mean? Corey, explain it to the listener.
E
Work in the rear.
Brady
Oh, no.
E
A surprise visitor.
John Holmberg
Oh, no, you're being too. You're being too ambiguous. Explain. Explain that more thoroughly.
Brett
There we go.
John Holmberg
All right, go ahead.
E
A fine young lady enjoying herself in the night has a little toy to keep her in check.
John Holmberg
Where's it going?
E
Working in the back end there. Having some fun all of a sudden on the way out? Let's see.
John Holmberg
Oh, yep. Little like a bowling ball.
E
Little kinder egg surprise jump.
John Holmberg
Kinder egg surprise eyes. She pooped.
E
Yeah, not a whole lot like a rabbit sort of deal.
John Holmberg
Yeah, she. She's eating a lot of ruffles. She's just a little. A little. Little tiny tater.
E
She had look surprised, like it was a shocker. It came out of there.
John Holmberg
She was shocked.
E
It's like, oh, geez. Yeah, that's what it does.
John Holmberg
Cleaned that out. All right. Shouldn't have had that last bite of that sandwich.
Brett
Let's give him this one.
John Holmberg
All right, here's one.
Brett
This one. This is easy for me. Sure, sure, sure.
E
Let's see what you got.
Brady
You want that?
Dick Toledo
All right.
E
So she is just all naked up in front showing off her stuff. It is out. I mean, it is plain. Oh, oh, it's like Pac Man.
John Holmberg
Oh, no.
E
Waka waka. Yeah, I know. It's out of the system entirely. And it's just talking back to me is what it's doing. She's trying to impress me.
John Holmberg
But are you impressed?
E
No, no.
John Holmberg
Cory, would you give that a run? The lady with the 6 inch labia, I was wondering.
E
Yeah, it's like. That's a full system out there.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's a lot. I believe when we first walked, watched this, it looked like Homer Simpson's lips were trying to escape.
E
Yes, it is actually.
John Holmberg
Then. And then the cue to this one.
E
I never understood the whole concept of, like, calling it gum, but now I get it.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you didn't get that before.
E
I kind of. Oh, my God, it is trying to talk to us. Oh, hi, Marge.
John Holmberg
Hello, Marge.
E
Oh, boy.
John Holmberg
You never understood why people called it a wada shoot up gum. A little bit.
E
But like, I felt like, okay, it never looks that bad.
John Holmberg
Haven't seen enough of them to.
E
Well, not in that condition exactly.
John Holmberg
To differentiate the good from the bad. Not in that.
Brady
He's looking for something with a little highway miles on it. Gentle.
John Holmberg
There you go. Excellent job, Thriller.
E
Oh, that was all right. Thank you very much.
John Holmberg
You'll get better as you go. We may have Thriller come in and just describe the video. And now with sports Corey, Thriller.
E
Watch sports call.
John Holmberg
Take a look at your highlight package. Yes. From downtown. All right. Nice job, Corey. Sorry we're not gonna do the square already. Too late. Yeah, you were already here. I don't feel bad because it actually drive in for. So we're good? Yeah, no, we're good. There you go, Thriller. Good work. That last video needs to be forever.
E
That was pretty good.
John Holmberg
The Homer Simpson. There you go. That's your Brady report. It's 98.
Dick Toledo
It's not weird.
John Holmberg
It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee. I have heard enough of this morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail here in the morning sickness and oh, boy, oh boy, oh boy. Do we have something for you. The U Fest 2025 is upon us. And start planning your day. So May 3rd is when it happening. Larry lamented that it wasn't May 4th so we could do a Star wars theme. May the fourth be with you again. But I remember we had that may the fourth be with you thing and I don't think anybody really participated anyway. No, like we were thinking people come dressed stormtrooper. Yeah, there's a couple weirdos that sort of seemingly. Yeah. Sort of regretted it the second they got. They're going, oh, no one else played along. I see 421.
Brett
We had though. They participated.
John Holmberg
Boy, did that. That beer. It's going to be tough to top that beer fest one because I just had such a drunken, silly time. The Offspring was the headline. I don't remember the other bands, but.
Brett
All that remains was on.
John Holmberg
I don't remember who else was there. Great stuff. Anyway, so here's the lineup for May 3rd and of again. Annually we say this whenever we put a show on. Look, if I were to tell anybody, hey, I'm having a party at my house this weekend. We're gonna have pizza and wings and you're gonna have little like Tostitos and side food. We're gonna have some chips. We're gonna bring in some barbecue. Everything else. The last thing you do in that group email is email in going, I hate pizza. Everybody has pizza. Stupid, stupid. Like, don't complain about the lineup if you don't want to go. You don't have to. Nobody's telling you. But inevitably we get those weirdos that will listen to the lineup and tell us how they're not going. I'm not interested. I'm fine with you not going. It'll still be for the people who want to go. Maybe it's not for you. I don't want to hear from you. Email Larry. For God's sakes. He did it. Don't blame me. Tell Larry if you don't like the lineup. It doesn't make sense. We're having a party. Party. Come to our party. You don't do that to people. Only in radio do you do that. Oh, really? You bring that band again? Yeah, we like them. I don't. All right, well, then don't go. What the. What do I care?
Brady
It's easy.
John Holmberg
It's real easy to just not do it. But there will be a couple of douchebags that'll email in how much they hate the lineup. Then don't go. Or, you know, brave the party into. Anyway. We're having a party. You're serving pizza. Real original again. Well, then you're. Don't come. The bad thing is I have to invite everybody. If it were up to me, I'd keep this real private. Just like, tell people, hey, look, we're having a concert. I don't want to tell anyone.
Brett
The cool people.
John Holmberg
Only cool people. So don't be a B hole. I don't know a couple of the opening bands. Maybe you do. Point north is on the list. Not a fan? I don't. I'm not. Funeral Portrait.
Brett
Oh, I know them. They're good.
John Holmberg
They're good.
Brett
Yes.
John Holmberg
Is that local?
Brett
No.
John Holmberg
No, they're not. Okay. One. I'm excited about Dorothy. Yeah, we play some of them. And that's. That's actually a pretty fun one.
Brett
I met her at the Creed show. She's really cool.
John Holmberg
Okay. Really cool. She had. Did they open for Creed?
Brett
No, but she was just her and Scott Stapp got a. Got a thing on his. On his latest solo record. So she was there.
John Holmberg
Okay, that's great. We came as Romans, which I've listened to a few times. They can get you. Then you start getting into the heavy hitters. And this is the good stuff. This is one of the finest musicians I've ever watched. Even though he hated me in the interview. Wolfgang Van Halen is coming. Mammoth wvh. And that's a fun band. Top to bottom. They just knock it out. And I think he probably does a couple of.
Brady
I don't think he Does I think he.
John Holmberg
In the past, I've seen him do a couple little Van Halen.
Brett
He didn't when he opened for gnr.
John Holmberg
Yeah, well, that was. Well, maybe in this case, I don't know. He only had 30 minutes on stage.
Brady
I might have talked about that. That people want me to go, no, no. I'm my own band.
John Holmberg
But we still would like to hear it. So, you know, I'm not putting it together. We'll push for that, but he is only getting like 45 minutes. Festival show. And by the way, do yourself a favor and Google search Vanna Halen. It's an AI album where they took the first Van Halen one and made it a 1940s, like, swing jazz thing. It's outstanding. Interruptions all on piano. The AI did it and it's like, oh, we're done. AI wins because they made like nine hits on this. Anyway, so you got Mammoth. WVH still top to bottom. This dude can play everything. He's great. CER is going to be here. Cer's always good.
Brady
A wedding band.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's right. They played at Brady's wedding back in 2006. Yep, that right. And Brady's band was there. See, they're coming back for that. And then headlining the whole darn thing. A Day to Remember, which people lose their minds for adt. They lose their minds. We had them headline a few years ago, right? Was it that one?
Brett
Yeah, but it was the one when we were out of Quail Run.
John Holmberg
Quail Run. And that was when none of us understood because that was in the same one where Ice Tea was there.
Brett
Yep.
John Holmberg
And like that.
Brady
It's a great transition.
John Holmberg
It was a wild transition from Body count into A Day to Remember where people were in pastels and beach balls and we're like, what's going on? They were having a party and we're like, this is great. It was a lot of fun. Girls on shoulders taking their top. It was like a. I don't know if they're still doing that, but that was such a great moment. It brought rock back. A Day to Remember is a great headliner. So. A Day to Remember. Seether Mammoth. Wvh. We came as Romans. Dorothy. Then the funeral portrait and Point North. This is all good stuff. Where Talking stick Resort. When? May 3rd. And tickets are going on sale Friday. Right? Friday. So we get the website live this morning right now, as you see, all the info right right there as we speak now. They're going to have lawn tickets available for you Friday for 25 bucks. That's Friday only. So get in on that Friday. We're also going to have Star Fighters Arcade in the U Zone. We're going to build that whole thing back up. Tons of stuff over there. We do stuff there. I remember Josh from Action a couple years ago. That riding thing. He was going to bring. I don't know if he ever finished that. That bikes and all that. So we have a party going on inside the party and all your tickets and available Info is at 98 KU. Pretty good show there. May 3rd. A day to remember. See there mammoth WVH. We came as Romans. Dorothy Funeral portrait Point North. We'll get that thing going and you guys can check it all out. 90@kupd.com Friday morning, 10 o'clock. $25 tickets. That's not happening anywhere else. First email John. I don't think you understand how special my mom says my opinion. I don't want to see any of those bands. Maybe one. That's exactly who I'm talking about. Your mom is right. You matter. Anyway. That's a good show. So you fest. We're already talking about the spring. May's only a couple months away. It's February next week. February is Saturday.
Brady
Yep.
John Holmberg
Holy smokes. Already done with. It's a month since Christmas. My God, man. There you go. We got that all ready to go. We got what would Brady Do? Coming up in just moments. It's 98 KUPD.
Dick Toledo
It's not weird.
John Holmberg
It's pretty cool actually. No membership fee. I have heard enough of this. Homberg's morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. What would Brady do? Look at that. Got ourselves a little day to remember. There's concert psyching rock. How about that? Already had to get one. Sorry. Not sorry, Mr. Holmberg. All those bands suck. I wouldn't waste my money on that show. But you can go ahead and enjoy it. All right, I will. That's great. No, I go to this. If I worked at kbds. Go for free. Okay. Plenty of positives. And that's my fault. I always get locked in on that one that wants to tell me the things he doesn't like. I get it. I understand complaining, but I understand making that email. Why bother?
Brady
No matter what show we're talking about.
John Holmberg
Doesn't matter. Yeah, you break. You break. Breakout. You know. We got Metallica, Slayer, Corn. I have Sevenfold Sucks. Metallica ripoff. And how come Slayer's not headlining? Metallica's spent.
Brady
I'll pay for that one band, but not the rest.
John Holmberg
And then the problem with that one would be it's 250. 250. What do you think of a Rockefeller? Ching, Chavez, Jeez. Thousand dollars to sit up front. I mean it's the. And yet the stadium fills. I understand it. I just don't understand getting on your computer to waste your own time saying, I don't like that. Get yourself a radio show and bitch, I did it. That's how I did it. Are you ready, Brady?
Brady
Ready?
John Holmberg
Before we get into any what would Brady do's, I got an email from Anthony and it says, chancellor, I just want to let you go. Let you know you're making a tough day a little easier. Easier for me. Here's some Pictures of my 10 year old Pupper's Ghost. Had him since he was a baby. Been with our family every single day. He's traveled across the country twice, loved everybody. He met people and dogs. Recently developed bone cancer and it rapidly spread. This last week's been really rough on him, but he's been so tough and strong through it all. We can't keep asking him to go in so much pain. So today's the day we have to give him his peace. So thanks for at least a few smiles Miles on what will inevitably be the crappiest day. Signed, Anthony. Well, Anthony, all of us dog lovers and cat owners and everybody else will give our puppies a little extra as we're, as we're thinking of Ghost. Little Cookie, little love for your dog today in honor of Ghost. We all stick together when it comes to this stuff. And tomorrow we'll stick together even more, helping out the Humane Society with our homburg bound. So head on over there tomorrow and we'll think of Ghost while we do it. I got stuff going on at my house. My cat is oddly sick and my boy Frankie, he's like 12. He's got this thing called IMHA. It's weird. It's like a really weird thing. Makes him anemic and stuff. And it's strange. It's just like a cyclical deal for some dogs to get it. Some die, some live and some just live with it. And he's been like, it kind of came back. We don't even know if that's it. But currently the medicine is making Frank poop a little when he stands up. Like he drops a little Cadbury every time he.
Brett
Like the video watch.
John Holmberg
Yeah, like the video of that girl today. And I stayed with him Saturday night on the couch. I slept on the Couch with Frankie. And he, you know, got up and walked to the other side of the couch while I was out. So I'm sleeping on the couch. And I woke up and I scratched my back and I had a pair of jeans on and I scratched my back and like, ugh, this dry stuff all over my ass. Frankie took a dump next to me me. And I was sleeping in it all night long. I moved the blanket and something fell directly in my hand. It was like a whopper. I'm like, did I eat whoppers before? That's no Whopper. And I just threw the blanket across the room. And then I got up and I real. And it took me a few minutes when I was like, they got dried feces all over us. Poor little fella had an accident. Spend it all cleaning all up.
Brett
Thought you're at one of those kind of parties, huh?
John Holmberg
Yeah, why did I do last night? But you know, so you have that happen sometimes. Our pets are our besties, so we do what we do with them. Still better than kids. And make sure that you give your. Your fuzzy ones a little extra today for good. Boy, ghost cancer thing, man. Doesn't make any sense. Why that's rapidly becoming the number one killer of dogs. And we changed all the food and all that. Just doesn't add up. But it's out there. Sorry about that, Anthony. All right, Brady, are you ready? Ready. Here we go. Dear Brady. I got three of them or two. I have a chance to date a guy who seems like a pretty good catch. He's a ladies at my. Geez, bad English. He is a lady at my works brother works with her, works with this guy's sister is what she's saying. Okay. His wife left him a couple years ago and he changed everything. He wasn't a cat. He had a normal life. He quit that after the divorce, moved into a very small place. And now I just found out after seeing some pictures and hearing about him about his job, and I'm just not sure where to go here. He's a gravestone grave detailer. Never heard of this. And then she sends me the menu. 450 for a deep clean, 259 for a basic wash. He does re lettering and chip repair as well. And evidently he's doing okay, but he never wants to work with other people again. He isolated and likes to hang out at the graveyard cleaning up the graves for a cost. So I'm asking, should I date the grave maintenance supervisor? Angie.
Brady
Well, Angie, there's one thing that you said he doesn't like to hang out with other people, don't work with other people.
John Holmberg
Maybe just doesn't want to work with him.
Brady
You want to hang out with him.
John Holmberg
Well, I don't want to hang out.
Brady
I know, but I'm saying you have to understand, sometimes people on their job don't want to work with other people. But the personal level is different. It is a. You know, some people would say that's a morbid job. But he's crazy, Brady.
John Holmberg
He's gone crazy. Wait for him to get through his crazy phase.
Brady
He had to have known this crazy before he.
John Holmberg
Not necessarily because he went from an accountant. How hard is that job?
Brady
Well, you got to work.
Brett
You got to learn a power washer and a can of cry on.
Brady
Nobody also fixes a letter so he.
John Holmberg
How hard is that?
Brady
Takes a little skill to get.
John Holmberg
I could do it with a butter knife and a hammer. Who's gonna care? It's not like the guy's coming out of the earth. I go out there and I redo the K and Kevin, it's fine. How bad can it be? I've never seen a tombstone. I'm like, that k's wrong part. I'm not. I'm not thinking that's too hard a gig. Now maybe go out there and put some black on grandpa's painting.
Brady
Patching it up.
John Holmberg
Patching it up. Simple, even. I could go out there and see a stone and go, there's a chip out of it. And putty it up a little bit. That's nothing. Just shape it. It can't be if it's so busted up. The people.
Brady
Why does that make him crazy?
John Holmberg
Because he abandoned life and went and scrubbed headstones. That's nuts.
Brady
Well, he that found him. That job found him.
John Holmberg
If you five years from now, said, man, John quit his job. We don't know what happened to him. And he saw I've got a beard and long nails. What do you do now? I wash tombstones for a fee. I don't want to see people. But what is he on a dating thing for?
Brady
But this doesn't sound like that guy has the long beard.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's what I'm seeing.
Brady
I mean, because she's got to be attracted to him.
John Holmberg
There's a lot of long beard guys out there that look like ZZ Top or hipsters that aren't. They're gravestone washers. This dude's bananas. Run for your life, Angie.
Brady
I'm telling him to run.
John Holmberg
No way. Why has he got to go? Know what gravestone dude AI Girlfriends are right around the corner. Don't mess with Angie's life. I know.
Brett
She's kind of weird, too. She's thinking about hooking up with a gravestone.
John Holmberg
She's asking us. I got to give her credit. She turned to us and said, I'm not so sure.
Brady
Nitpicking gravestone.
Brett
I mean, go from an accountant, probably making a little cake.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
To repairing gravestones and probably playing in a typo negative cover band. I mean, I don't know.
John Holmberg
No, he's one of the. Yeah, I'm with you. There's, like, something really wrong with the dude who just sails away into oblivion and does something strange like that.
Brady
He's helping families maintain their stone.
John Holmberg
They should be maintaining it.
Brady
Well, they are. They're using.
John Holmberg
They're paying some dude. I don't know how to drive all over there and go to the bone orchard and visit Susan. Let him.
Brady
I wonder how. I wonder if you can. Can you. Are you allowed to clean? I don't know if that.
Brett
I would think it's yours.
Brady
You can. Like, I want to fix some lettering there or something.
Brett
I would think it's yours.
John Holmberg
What, are they going to, like, call the police?
Brady
I don't know.
John Holmberg
I'm cleaning up those. Nobody cleans but us.
Brady
Hey, we got a guy.
John Holmberg
I mean, how mad would you be if somebody just started straightening up your driveway? You go out and go, what the hell you doing? Just cleaning up, sir. I'll give you five minutes to knock that off. Gets a little weird around here. He's banging dead bodies. That's what I think. Something's wrong with his wife left him and he went coo. Coo. Lost a little something. Detached. His right eye started twitching. Say, is there any job out there where you and just scrub rods?
Brady
He is in a little place. Yeah.
John Holmberg
He's nuts. He downsized, isolated into this little. He's writing letters to the government. How does.
Brady
Again, they're talking about dating.
John Holmberg
No, she and this guy's sister are. You don't even know if he's involved in this.
Brett
Oh, wait a minute. So she's trying. She's getting the. She's trying to get hooked up in that letter.
John Holmberg
It didn't say anything about him coming to her. I work with his sister, okay? She's sitting there thinking, angie, my brother's.
Brady
Available, trying to do matchmaking.
John Holmberg
Yeah. So maybe they've emailed, like, hey, how? Or whatever. Dude's bananas.
Brett
Wait a minute. What does Angie look like?
John Holmberg
Angie. Send a picture of her. Yeah, you might be desperate.
Brett
Yeah, it could be the sisters going, well, this is all she's going to get. So here's give you a gravy over here.
John Holmberg
Simple girl test. Think of the three or four girls you are still friends with. And I know that two of them you don't really like, you still hang out with. And you and the other one talk about them when they're not there. It's how girls work. Most girls only have one, maybe two really good friends. Friends and then a few that kind of hang around that they don't really like. But for some reason they. Anyway, Angie, think of the girls that you've got. And you guys are over at Postino's, whatever it is, sitting at the table, and you're like, I met a guy. Oh, yeah? What's he do? Are you going to be comfortable telling him that he re letters headstones and.
Brady
Washes rocks with the other girls? Yeah. There's a standard.
John Holmberg
If you've got friends, one of them has a husband that's kicking ass. One of them has a husband that isn't kicking ass, but the wife tells lies about. About how great he is. And then one of them has a guy who writes K's on stones for dead people when the family doesn't care enough to do it themselves. For 450 bucks, I'll wash that rock. How hard can that be?
Brady
I'm saying that's good money.
John Holmberg
I'll call Cairo For Cairo Mobile DTs here washing cars in the parking lot. And I'm like, hey, a couple hundred bucks, go over there and fire over on Alvar's tombstone. I don't know who's maintaining my grandpa's grave, but I'm pretty sure it's the people in charge of Mount Nebo cemetery that are supposed to do that.
Brady
Yeah. Is that part of the deal, the maintenance? I think it is when you buy the. Maybe not. Maybe they have packages.
John Holmberg
He washes the rocks for $450. What kind of. How dirty was that thing? I got to tell you, I could go to a cemetery right now, look at a rock and go, okay, so long, Gladys, leave. And then somebody could tell me, hey, just spent 500 bucks, go take a look at Gladys's rock and it's shining. I. It looks the same to me. Maybe he puts a nice gloss on it. I bet she's putting a lot of gloss on grandma's stone. That's what I think he's doing. He's beating off on the graves. That dude's lost his mind. Anybody just then.
Brady
Then slap your Friend or your sister, whatever.
John Holmberg
What are you thinking? What are you doing?
Brett
She should be offended that he's. That the sister's trying to hook her up with a gravestone repair man.
John Holmberg
She's. Come on. Her brother is lonely as an accountant. She's trying to fix him.
Brett
John Rockefeller could even see this.
John Holmberg
This is a nightmare. She's trying to get brother back into society. Like drag him out of this. He's getting a little incel. Dead center on this one. Guaranteed my arrows hit in the middle of this target. He sits in a dark room with a word processor and fires off letters to like. Like John Federman and stuff. Not even our own representative.
Brady
He has no idea that she's referring him.
John Holmberg
She just wants her brother back to stop. Driving by St. Catherine's and seeing him on his knees just scrubbing a rock.
Brady
Just know In a month, 30 days, he'll be scrubbing a new rock.
John Holmberg
Yours, Angie. He's gonna kill you and then wash your headstone. It is the client. Client of this room. Not to date the lunatic whose screw fell out when he got divorced.
Brady
Referral side. That changes.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I just move rocks. I move rocks from one side of a yard to another. Since the wife left me, I've lost my mind. Menial tasks. That's what I do. Dear Brady, my boss made a move on me Friday at a work of event. She is outstanding, by the way. Didn't see this happening at all. I was more than happy to reciprocate. We were making out in the bathroom. She was really drunk. She took my hand and put it in quotes there. Yeah. And said, this is what you do to me. And let me tell you, I make that lady messy. She said, Monday, I'm going to call you into my office, I'm going to put my lips on you and you're going to feed the boss. Tripp says that to me sometimes. So. And this is a while ago this morning, says I'm getting ready to get to work at 9am Do I feed her? She's an 11, by the way, and full of money. Michael.
Brady
I need a little more background on that boss. I mean. I mean, things are.
John Holmberg
Well, what do you need? In a way, this is the situation. Hot boss says in the office, you're gonna feed the boss.
Brady
Are single.
John Holmberg
Let's just assume that that would have probably been mentioned. If not. Do you feed the boss?
Brett
Yes, she's. You got her by the cans, so to speak. Yeah.
Brady
Your job's on the line anyway.
John Holmberg
You think?
Brett
Yeah. You turn her down?
John Holmberg
Yeah, he's right.
Brady
He's already.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Everybody's got something to lose.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett
You turn her down, she's going to. She's going to ask can you?
John Holmberg
And she's going to be insulted.
Brett
And if. And if.
Brady
And then you've got.
Brett
You got her by the cans.
Brady
Harassment. Then it becomes he said, she said.
John Holmberg
So even you are saying, get in there and feed that boss.
Brady
Yeah, I am.
John Holmberg
No kidding. No, you don't mean that. You're peer pressure right now. You're feeling pressure.
Brady
What time is it?
John Holmberg
You're feeling a lot of pressure. Well, it's past 9. He's at work. We don't know if it's happening quite yet. But he said that? No. Has she called him in yet? You wouldn't do that.
Brady
So what happens now?
John Holmberg
What would you do if you get called in? Yeah.
Brady
That one. I.
John Holmberg
What?
Brady
Was not at the workplace. No, Brady, I'm not doing that. Workplace.
John Holmberg
She doesn't like that. What was that movie with Michael Douglas and Demi Moore? Disclosure.
Brett
Oh, yeah. Yeah. She could have the Matt Lauer door.
John Holmberg
And just locks and you're stuck.
Brett
Yeah.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
With your erection. Yeah.
Brady
Not at the workplace.
John Holmberg
No, no. Where?
Brady
Take it outside.
John Holmberg
What do you mean?
Brady
Like a good fight?
John Holmberg
Yeah. Like you're gonna scrum the janitor.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Where do you take her? To the car. She's a classy lady. Do something.
Brett
She's probably got a belt or something. She's got that kind of cat.
John Holmberg
What do you mean? You can't go out dating.
Brady
Go for lunch.
John Holmberg
Brady, what are you doing? Maybe she just wants to be fed. She don't want a salad and some snacks first? That's you. You'd take her on a date. This lady wants to blow you at work.
Brady
The only reason if you're saying for not doing it is just if you're fine. If you're fine saying my job could end after.
John Holmberg
You know what? That's true every day.
Brady
Yeah. Then. Then. Are you doing anything wrong? Not really. Other than if there is something that's saying, which I. I believe that's not proper office conduct.
John Holmberg
Pretty much true, so. Well, we already know that part.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Are you willing to do this? Depends on what you do. Really too. Maybe you could be a gravestone manager afterwards. Freak.
Brady
There might be an opening.
Brett
I'm taking. I'm taking notes from President Trump. I'm grabbing her by the.
John Holmberg
Yeah, we already did that. Now it's time to feed her.
Brett
That's what I'm saying. Feed it.
John Holmberg
Time to get in there, honey bunch. Brady, you would. That's Brett and I though you are different. I don't see you saying yes to this at all. Not even a little bit.
Brett
I'm in.
Brady
If.
Brett
If she's an 11. Yeah, I'm in.
John Holmberg
Brady Bogan, please step into my office. Please. You asked me to feed me.
Brett
Breaks out some burnt ends.
John Holmberg
I brought some burnt ends and some fries.
Brady
Girl scout cookies.
John Holmberg
I just. Yeah, so.
Brady
And so is selling them.
John Holmberg
Jen downstairs is selling them cookies. Your daughter worked real hard, so I brought you some Samoas.
Brett
It's not the cookie I want you to feast on.
John Holmberg
Feed me. I'm. I'm not sure what you mean, madam.
Brady
Well, then I guess I gotta feed you.
John Holmberg
Look, I think this is dangerous for both you and me. And what are you doing? Feeding you. You wouldn't do it. Would you talk? Would you tell on her? No, you wouldn't. It's one or the other. Because if you don't do it, she's.
Brady
Going to feel like a fool on Saturday or whatever. And she's waiting till Monday, Friday, work function Friday.
John Holmberg
So the whole weekend stuff to do. She's busy. She didn't expect it. I'm going to call you on a Monday.
Brady
I don't want to tell Monday. That was the plan.
John Holmberg
Well, you want to go out and love her. All this lady wants to do is bomb in like dirty situations. You keep thinking she. She took him to the bathroom and took his hand and stuffed it on her baby box and then said, hey, see you tomorrow. We're going to go get some. Marry me. Yeah, you're. You're in a Hallmark movie. You're in hot frosty right now. This dude is.
Brady
I would go in there with a letter, piece of paper said, will you go with me? Circle yes or no.
John Holmberg
You wouldn't do this. It's dangerous. But you wouldn't do this. This one says. I think Brady's advice was his old move. Take her to Aho Owls and slam her on the hood of a car.
Brady
Take it outside.
John Holmberg
Dude, I disagree with that. Now it's the law. Now can you lose your job and go to jail?
Brett
Mikey wants to know where does one apply for this job?
John Holmberg
Yeah, no kidding. When you get fired, I want your job. Because if you say no and just flat out walk out, she might. You don't know her. She might lose her mind and start saying you did something at the party and grabbed her hoo chacha and then. And then emailed some radio station. So you got to either tell on her or feed her. This is easy.
Brady
Open up, man.
John Holmberg
Brady says Take it outside. Like a priest and a boy. Get outside. Oh, the pickles you people are in.
Brett
No, I treat her like Brady at via check.
John Holmberg
I'm going in. Out of the way, Tom. I'm banging my balls.
Brett
She's an 11, too.
John Holmberg
So you say 11.
Brady
No. I mean, that makes me tough.
John Holmberg
You say no.
Brady
I'm not saying no.
John Holmberg
You're gonna. You're gonna feed her.
Brady
I think she needs.
John Holmberg
I can't. I would tell everybody Brady went in there and boss blew him. Bogan. Yeah, Bogan.
Brady
She needs to be fed.
John Holmberg
She needs to be fed. And Brady's the source.
Brady
That's a problem.
John Holmberg
It's weird. Little water bottles told us. Yeah, he should. He shouldn't have said a word to us, Michael. Anyway, well, good luck to you. I hope it all works out. It's not going to, but at least you'll get a good.
Brady
No. He's going to be. He's not going to get called in. When that happens, then it's like, oh.
John Holmberg
Yeah, now the uhoh's beginning. If she doesn't call you into the office now it's like we're getting his.
Brady
Version of the story. I don't know if this is a CYA letter.
John Holmberg
And now she goes back in or you. Last thing you can do is go, hey, whatever we did Friday, are we erasing that? Because now it looks like you're either begging for it or trying to fix it. You got to read her first. You got to wait for the boss to make the move. That's why this is so toxic. But when she calls you into that office, you better be at least a little plump just in case. Feeding time. Just because it's. Yeah, because it's either feeding time or I'm so interested. But I. I can't. You have to. You can't. You playing with emotions here? She's a little nuts. Hey, there's a guy who. Who washes headstones that needs a lady. Maybe your boss would be interested in that. Nut bag. She likes scrubbing big, hard things. And so does he. There you go, everybody. Brought to you by our friends at MMP Guns. I forgot to mention that. 12th street and Indian School inside Mo Money Pond. This is what Brady did. Be afraid.
Dick Toledo
It's not weird.
John Holmberg
It's pretty cool, actually.
Dick Toledo
No membership fee.
John Holmberg
Heard enough of this? Morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. There you go. It's the BIS kit right there. They're rolling all over the place. They were part of our. You Fest a couple years ago. Not complaining about that one. That was fun too. That was over at Quail Run. If you weren't listening earlier, we announced you Fest 2025 this morning. A day to remember. Seems to be everybody's flipping out about and also hearing a lot about. We came as Romans. Some guy emailed me and said point north goes hard. I'm interested in that too. Then get them all going. We had Thriller come in this morning. Of course you knew Thriller story on Friday has never once in his nine years here gotten a happy birthday email from the lady who downstairs gets paid only to. All she does is write happy birthday emails. We got 365 days and we've got like 90 employees. And on days where there's no birthday, she just preps up tomorrow's birthday list. That's. That's her job. Never once did she ever hit Corey Thriller. Walsh. So he came in again this morning. We were going to do another squares. We didn't. But he got to do play by play over the videos that we play. And Paula Proc, the lady that hates Toledo, emailed in and says, you know what? I've been thinking about this. Please tell me that you're grooming three Thriller to take Toledo's job. He has a great voice, not one that sounds like fingernails down a chalkboard. And I have yet to hear him do one of your impressions while you're doing the impression. Just a thought. One vote Thriller. Paula Proc, Toledo hater. No, we are not trying to replace Toledo with Thriller. But it's the first time I've thought of it. And you know what, you might be onto something. All right. The problem with that is sometimes I need Toledo. Like and I do the on the intercom. Imagine me screaming for Thriller. It would be a half hour before he comes in here. Like, I need an able bodied walker. And I don't know if this is legal in the workplace or not, but I'm not hiring any cripples. Can you say that? You know, I saw this thing. Before we get into the entertainment drill, I started thinking about this. I saw one of the new Shriners come commercials. They use Caleb's old voice because he's not cute anymore. He's gone through puberty and Caleb's going through a thing. He's kind of basically, if Caleb was a sitcom, they'd have a new kid on this show now. They just found under the Christmas tree. Like, you know, they would be, they would be. The Danny Cooksey era of Different Strokes is happening now because Gary Coleman's no longer cute, but I'm watching the commercial and the one kid hops on this cool three wheel bike and just starts paddling. It's like first day, the bike was so perfect, they got it. The other kids just walking along, got this new leg and I started thinking, you know, and another one had his little arms, he has just hands coming out of his chest. And I started thinking to myself, you know, they don't know any better. Like that's just been their whole life, right? So they can see that it's different for someone else. But maybe they see those long gangly arms we've got and think, oh, that's weird.
Brady
They might not have the envy that you're talking about.
John Holmberg
I, I think we place the envy on them because I started envying them. I switched it, the role reversed in my head and I started thinking, it's not so bad being them. A, that's all they know. B, they never have to do anything in their entire lives and they're constantly complimented if they get up or wheel their chair. People like, oh, fantastic work because we have such little expectations. You never have an alarm, never have an alarm clock wake you if you don't want one. And no one can ever be mad at you if you're lazy.
Brady
Yeah, but I gotta believe Caleb's because.
John Holmberg
This is what you know, you don't know.
Brady
Well, Caleb's bird bones, your bones don't break.
John Holmberg
Look, in 20 mile an hour winds I'm talking, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like the ones that are in constant peril, but the ones that get the three wheeler bike and are tooling around with hooks for hands, I'm like, they don't know any different. They might look at all those fingers and go, I wouldn't, I don't know what to do with all that. Like the way we look, look at them. If we switch our thinking a little bit to where they, they'd look at us like the weirdos and, and who's winning this fight? They get three wheeler bikes. No one's ever given me one of those for free. And they don't ever have to go to work if they don't want to. And nobody's ever going to get mad at them.
Brett
I'll suffer with all, all my limbs.
John Holmberg
And tell you what, five fingers rethinking this whole thing. If I'd have come out crooked, I just sat in the room and every once in a while people like you get off your ass and get a job. I'd start going wow. The thing I have, it hurts.
Brady
I'm just glad that Caleb's still involved that they haven't found a new batch. Like you're too old.
John Holmberg
They're trying. Oh they. Oh Brady, yes they have. Yeah, they just don't have somebody that can read batch. So that's why they're using his old voice because he still reads good. They got rid of Alec. Alec used to be cute as can be. He's like 22 now. He's kind of a moon faced.
Brett
He's just in the bars.
John Holmberg
He just looks like a cholo now. That got shot.
Brady
Well, that was it.
John Holmberg
Hey, what's up player? Alec is.
Brady
No one passed on him because he came drunk to the last.
John Holmberg
Well yeah and then he got into the. Once he got legal and started drinking in the chair and they caught him with some bra on one of those three wheel bikes. I'm just saying maybe our perspective is we've laid way too much of our own guilt on them, you know, to have such low expectations and they're looking at us like, you think I want giant hands? I wouldn't know what to do with them. I got these flippers up here. This is all I know.
Brady
You know, it's been running. They had a good run, both those kids a long time. It's time to change that blanket up.
John Holmberg
Blanket's been. Yeah, 2.0.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Little Teddy bear in the hat. I mean you really can't go wrong with what they've done. It's a cute blanket. It's adorable in fact.
Brett
As a matter of fact.
John Holmberg
Yeah, but I'm looking at all the other kids, Caleb and Alec, they got jobs. There's one that the girl just grabs a basketball and she goes, I can play basketball. She's in a wheelchair. She starts dribbling and I'm like, that's how she plays basketball. We're the ones going, oh. She's like this is just basketball to me. Look, you're the ones that I don't. I wouldn't even know what it would do to like run around like that. That looks horrible.
Brett
I'd still watched over wnba but.
John Holmberg
Oh, I'd watch wheelchair basketball over W. I'd watch people get put in wheelchairs over the WNBA. Anyway, just you know, maybe a little change of perspective that these people are, you know, who doesn't get this kind of treatment? The extra they still have to get up at 5 in the morning and go midgets equally as, you know, debilitated by size and stuff like that. But we're like Nah, you're functioning. You got five little tiny toes and five little fingers. You're good. You're not like Caleb was missing an arm, but he's always been missing an army and they give them free stuff all the time. Just saying, keep an eye on this. It's a good thought. Stop feeling so sorry for those kids. That's what I'm saying. Send the money in for a cure. Are the ones that like the bird bone thing that's got to get fixed. But the one with little fish hands, he doesn't know any better. That's all he knows.
Brady
Ask Brad Williams.
John Holmberg
Whenever Brad Williams is here, we're like, would you want to be tall? He goes, no, this is who I am. Like, he's fine with it. I want to be taller. You probably, definitely you want to be taller, but you're not. So if nobody's giving you a free bike, that'd be great if like 7 foot people came in, in this room, said, you poor, you poor bastards. Here's some free bikes. These kids have it made is what I'm saying. All the free stuff. Place to stick day.
Brett
I'm good.
John Holmberg
No alarms, no six footer. Yeah.
Brady
As a kid you're six foot.
John Holmberg
What do you mean?
Brady
Parents are going to kick you out earlier.
John Holmberg
Oh yeah. When you're totally six feet, you're like, you should be doing stuff. Get out. Like, nobody ever gives you free bike anyway. It's 104. Just some thoughts. I'm treating the handicap the way they asked to be treated. Just like the race rest of us. I handed them free stuff. Get out there and do some stuff. Give him a basketball and let him play with other kids like that. It's not right. Sorry. Say Toledo comes jarring in the room. Thriller would have, would have taken him forever to get in here. Brady, it's time for you to entertain us all. It's called the entertainment drill.
Dick Toledo
Brought to you the day I get crippled or have a problem.
John Holmberg
Oh, it's a fight then. Thriller. Yeah, well, because you'll just complain the whole time because you'll have memories of what it was like before. He doesn't. This is, this is always Thriller. Thriller just gets upset when we start walking backwards in front of him because he can't do it. But he doesn't care. He's fine. We look at him like, oh, things he's accomplished. Like this is just being alive. Anyway, it's all brought to you by reactdefense.com the home of Tactical Black. They got the deal going on right now. Which is just the standard two months. You sign up, you get your two months for 199 bucks. That is as good as it gets for personal training. You'll learn everything from. From knife defense, gun defense, machetes, any sort of personal attack. You'll learn about the 21 foot rule, which will change your brain. I watched a body cam live show the other night where they dealt with that in a target. A dude had a knife and was about 18 to 19ft away from a big guy, tased him, grabbed the tasers and pulled him right out of his chest and just stared at him. Didn't move. At a gas canister in one hand and a knife in the other. And they're like, all right, we got to go lethal. And he tells one guy, go lethal. Pulls a gun out. He's like, we don't want to do this. Hit him again with a taser, rips him out of his chest. And the cop comes on. He goes, He's. He's within 21ft. That guy can clear that in two seconds. If we don't have lethal force aimed. There's a rule says you can't get your holstered gun out, aimed, and fired. If somebody starts charging you and they're only 20ft away, there's no we. I've done that drill a thousand times. Brett did it that one time. It is crazy. It's mind blowing. So check out all this stuff. It's stuff you've never done before. It's also really fun. Become a sheepdog. Stop being a sheep. React. Defense. Dot com. That's where you go. It's the home attack to black Brady Entertainment.
Brady
A new documentary just aired at the Sundance film festival called peewee as himself. Oh, the gay features the final interview with Paul Rudd Rubens. Yeah, he came out. He died in 2023. But he said, most of the people in the business knew I was gay, but then I started making it in the so did we entertainment side of it. But he goes, he couldn't play it that way.
John Holmberg
No, you can't have a gay guy in the 80s talking to kids all the time.
Dick Toledo
Didn't he have a beard at one point?
John Holmberg
Yeah, he had the goatee when he got caught jerking off in that theater. Yeah.
Dick Toledo
Female kang.
John Holmberg
But I don't think he ever had, like, a girlfriend. He was dating a guy named guy. That was. That's true. A gay guy named guy was his boyfriend.
Brady
Yep.
John Holmberg
And kind of had some peewee hermanisms that he made part of the character.
Dick Toledo
Oh. Oh, gotcha.
John Holmberg
I Like that.
Brett
Prancing on stage and stuff, too.
John Holmberg
Hey, guys. Just on a command, right, Dick?
Brady
He said as his career started taking off.
Dick Toledo
Can I tell you that you saying that with your new. And this.
John Holmberg
My mustache. Yeah. I got a child predator mustache. Right.
Dick Toledo
Wouldn't you say that with that mustache? A little bit Ned Flanders in there.
John Holmberg
Hey, Francis. Hello, Peewee. What do you want to do today? I was going to ride my bike around and then look for Dick. Cut. Paul, I think maybe we need to rewrite certain parts of this movie. It's my big adventure. I say we have a gay scene.
Brady
Also on the documentary talks about in 2001 when he's. His arrest for alleged child pornography. Yeah, but he was cleared of that. But he goes, that's when he stopped cooperating with filmmakers.
John Holmberg
It got weird for a while when he was in his early 60s and he was still in the suit. Then it just. And he had the rosy cheek makeup. You could see the aging. And you're like, ah, this just turned on everybody. You don't want to see a guy looking like that talking to kids. And even though he was never really talking to kids.
Brady
Jesse Eisenberg has a message for tech billionaires. Said, if you're so rich and powerful, why are you not just spending your days doing good things for the world?
John Holmberg
You're rich and powerful to a lot of people. Why not? Aren't you?
Brady
He is.
John Holmberg
Oh, really? So he's perfect and everybody else is not?
Brady
He was on Bill Maher's show talking about his wife is very successful in the tech world and she's doing.
John Holmberg
So all she does is good. Well, then good. Maybe they are good for you. I don't think they're doing, you know, evil villain origin story all day long. I'm pretty sure that they're just kind of being built billionaires. How are they not doing good things? Bill Gates brought us amazing stuff. Jeff Bezos gave us Amazon, for God's sakes. What. What more do they need to do? It's up to us now to take what they gave us and do good stuff with it. Not them.
Brady
And how about some of the stuff that they've done on their foundation?
John Holmberg
Sure.
Brady
Bill Gates.
John Holmberg
And take what they're saying is just give your money away, which they do do.
Brady
There's just.
John Holmberg
How come Taylor Swift, nobody ever asked her to take all her money and give it to somebody else. She's got a billion dollars, too.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Nobody ever says, Taylor Swift, give half of that away. Be better.
Brady
They want her to get more.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. Tours yeah, just keep going. We'll keep paying for it. Nobody ever asked Taylor Swift to give her money back.
Brady
A Connecticut state senator by the name of Martin Luther Looney is introducing a bill that would make theaters reveal the actual start time of a movie rather than that so audiences can avoid all the ads and trailers.
John Holmberg
It is a lot.
Brett
Especially now it reserves seating in the theaters.
John Holmberg
You know, I don't. I haven't been to a movie in a long time.
Dick Toledo
I think they start that re that ad reel right when the one before ends. So like anytime you walk in there, you're walking into something playing and I'm fine with that.
John Holmberg
Just, I'm. I just. The movie going experience is awful to me now. It's just nothing about it. I like the seating better, but the movies are the problem. Show a good movie and I'd go. I'd rather watch at home.
Brady
Dr. Phil says he's embedded with ICE for immigration operation.
John Holmberg
You miss Brady. That's wrong. ISIS. I'm embedded with ISIS now. Down with America. I say no.
Brady
He's all in for the operation going on in Chicago because it's not sweeping families and looking for. It's taking bad 170 high value targets.
John Holmberg
Yeah. That they know it's kind of mind blowing that we didn't just arrest them anyway. That there had to be some sort of movement.
Brady
We have some family suing other family members. You got Billy Ray Cyrus's son. Trace claims his dad is now threatening to sue him because Trey spoke out last week after Billy's rough performance at.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I have a prediction by the way. October late this year at the Night of the Singing Dead, we're going to do Achy Breaky Heart prediction because I don't see Billy lasting much longer. He had that meltdown on that stage. He's acting weird, he sounds terrible. And his whole family is calling him out. And Miley says, I don't want anything to do with them.
Dick Toledo
And they were good for a long time, it seemed.
John Holmberg
Well, they were hand in Montana together. Yeah.
Brady
O.J. simpson's estate is suing his son Justin for living at his dad's old home.
John Holmberg
The real killer. How do you.
Dick Toledo
There's got to be a guy, right, that. That picks up the phone and makes calls. Hi, this is Blah blah blah from the O.J. simpson estate. Like there's a guy that has that title, right?
Brady
They have. Yeah, it's an attorney that called him.
Dick Toledo
You have to identify yourself as that guy.
Brady
Justin, we need you out of the crib.
John Holmberg
So, Justin, when I die, I Can't give you the house because it belongs to that waiter I killed. And you were there too, Justin. That's why the DNA didn't quite work out. You helped. So I'm afraid you gotta go. Just a DVD of oj. Hey, Justin, if you're still living in the house, this is dad from the graveyard. Oh, just saying you gotta. Oh, there's a bunch of Jews gonna come in here and take this place. We can't kill him again. You were there. You remember? OJ and his son did it. Justin just plops down, squats in the house. That would be tough to be OJ's son. I never thought of Justin's plight.
Brady
You think that was played on the last dvd? You know, play this when I die.
John Holmberg
Yeah, one last D thing. All right, family, just stay away from my crap. Can't have it Fred's. But going. Justin. Just trying to get jobs. Justin Simpson. Says here you lived in Brentwood. Hey, you're not OJ's kid or anything, are you? I am. Oh, did he do it?
Brady
Needs you out in two weeks.
John Holmberg
Yeah, there's no possible way Justin's life's been normal. What'd your dad do? Well, he was a running back for a little while.
Brett
And a movie star.
John Holmberg
He was in some movies. Then you might have heard of him. Is he famous? Oh, yeah.
Brett
Oh, is he?
John Holmberg
Oh, was he? He just recently. I don't want to talk about it.
Brady
What'd your old man do?
John Holmberg
Yeah, he's a businessman. It's 1014. Let's get the hell out of here. We're done. Larry's coming up next. He's got more info on those $25 lawn seats we're giving away Fried Friday for you Fest. And I'm sure before this week's out, we're gonna have some free tickets for those folks. Matt Als. Matt has already emailed in, said he'll be there. Yes, he said, see you at you fest. And I'm like, that's in May, maybe.
Dick Toledo
Optimistic. Why not be optimistic?
John Holmberg
I like the idea there, man. I hope so. Sure hope so. But I already told him, I said I'll just give you tickets. He didn't have to. Oh, yeah, he's been through enough.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, we'll talk to bed.
John Holmberg
Kind of goes counter to what I just said about those Shriners kids getting everything for free. Free? But ALS guy deserves it. Larry's next. You guys have yourselves a great day. We'll see you tomorrow. Right here in the morning sickness.
Dick Toledo
It's not weird.
John Holmberg
It's pretty cool. Actually, no membership fee. I have heard enough of this.
Holmberg's Morning Sickness - Arizona Episode Summary: January 27, 2025
Holmberg's Morning Sickness on 98 KUPD continues its tradition of engaging and provocative discussions with host John Holmberg and his team—Brady Bogen, Brett Vesely, and Dick Toledo. In this episode, aired on January 27, 2025, the team delves into the passionate world of sports fandom, explores the burgeoning realm of artificial intelligence (AI) in personal relationships, and shares a mix of personal anecdotes and humorous banter.
Chiefs vs. Patriots vs. Bills: Understanding Fan Sentiments
John Holmberg opens the episode with a robust discussion about the fervent support and animosity surrounding major NFL teams—specifically the Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, and Buffalo Bills. He contrasts the widespread disdain for the Patriots with the more nuanced feelings towards the Chiefs and Bills.
Patriots’ Dynasty and Fan Hatred: John argues that the Patriots' success has bred a level of nationwide disgust not seen with other teams. He states, “The Patriots aren’t that way. And I think the reason why is because we're actually watching a dynasty that isn't gaming the system. They're winning, they're earning it” (02:12).
Chiefs’ Earned Success: In contrast, Holmberg praises the Chiefs, suggesting their victories are perceived as more legitimate. He notes, “The Chiefs aren't that way... They're winning, they're earning it. At least so far, Andy Reid's not cheating” (03:50).
Bills Fans’ Historical Struggles: He also touches on the long history of disappointment among Bills fans, highlighting memorable moments of anguish like Scott Norwood’s missed field goal (04:19).
Fan Behavior and Rivalries: The discussion extends to how fan behavior impacts team reputations. Holmberg observes, “Congratulations, Chiefs fans. You're glowing. Don't gloat. That makes people hate you” (06:43), emphasizing the thin line between pride and provocation in sports fandom.
AI Girlfriends and Sex Robots: The Future of Intimate Relationships
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to a lively debate on the introduction and acceptance of AI-driven companions. Holmberg and his team explore the societal implications, ethical considerations, and personal preferences surrounding AI girlfriends and sex robots.
Acceptance and Concerns: John shares startling statistics, mentioning a study where “80% of men surveyed said an AI girlfriend is a great idea” (56:05). This leads to a critical analysis of why such a high percentage is embracing AI companions.
Potential Manipulation and Indoctrination: Holmberg warns of the risks associated with AI relationships, stating, “AI is already too fast. We're not stopping AI... 80% of us are already all in on, yeah, I'd rather have that than a real human” (58:05). He raises concerns about AI's ability to manipulate opinions and influence behavior subtly.
Economic and Social Impacts: The hosts discuss how AI companions could replace human interactions, potentially leading to increased isolation and a decline in genuine human relationships. John humorously likens it to having “multiple AI girlfriends” with customizable features and subscriptions (70:04).
Technological Advancements: Dick Toledo provides updates on AI developments, mentioning that “11 labs just secured funding of $250 million... allowing users to put whatever voice you want into your AI” (82:33). This underscores the rapid pace at which AI technology is evolving, making such companions increasingly realistic and accessible.
Ethical Implications: The conversation delves into the ethical boundaries of AI in intimate settings. Holmberg questions the morality of developing AI that can mimic and possibly replace human emotions and relationships, highlighting the importance of maintaining human connections.
You Fest 2025: A Musical Extravaganza
The episode transitions to promotional content where Holmberg enthusiastically announces You Fest 2025, scheduled for May 3rd at Talking Stick Resort. The festival boasts an impressive lineup featuring:
