Podcast Summary: Holmberg's Morning Sickness (98KUPD) – January 28, 2026

Episode Theme:
A lively and irreverent look at the viral video of a protester taking a bean bag shot to the groin during a demonstration, with discussions on empathy, humor’s boundaries, protest culture, and a spirited critique on Bill Belichick’s exclusion from the NFL Hall of Fame—tying all to the group dynamic and the show's signature edgy tone.

---

1. Viral Video Debate: "Is It Okay to Laugh at the Guy Getting Bean-Bagged in the Balls?"

Main Point:
The crew, prompted by listener Stacy’s email, debates whether it's cruel to find humor when someone gets hurt for "fighting for what they believe in," specifically referencing the video of the protester shot in the groin.

Key Moments & Quotes:

• [02:57] John Holmberg:
  “Do you feel any empathy for when hippies get hit in the nuts? And I can honestly tell you, no.”

• [03:00] Brady:
  “It’s like watching someone fall down. I can’t help it.”

• On Stance, Empathy & Context ([04:11] - [06:30]):

  • Holmberg highlights that himself and most people, regardless of political side, find slapstick groin injuries universally funny.
    • “If I met somebody and…they draw the line at hippies getting hit in the nuts being funny, I’m like, ah, we can’t be friends.” ([03:25])
  • Dismisses the protester’s “sacrifice”—“What’s his name? … Ask that guy if he’s proud of all he accomplished when that hippie got caught in the balls… I bet I haven’t seen him at any more marches as the nut dude.” ([05:11])
  • Points out that even if the protest’s cause is noble (“protect the puppies”), moment still ends up funny.

Notable Segment:

• Live rewatching of the bean-bag video ([05:37]), with play-by-play:
  • “It’s just. Bam. Oh. I mean, that is a direct… and to that cop that did it, you asshole. But what a shot.” ([05:58])

Philosophy of Ball Shots:

• “If you don’t think hippies getting hit in the balls is ever funny… Universally hilarious are nut shots.” ([11:02])
• Reference to working with “that guy”: “We were told not to talk about it the next day. Man, did we laugh at that.” ([11:41])

---

2. The Nature of Protest, Risk, and Responsibility

Discussion Points:

• When is protest worth it? Is it still worth it if you get publicly humiliated/hurt and nothing changes?

  • “If that dude’s name was like legendary… and then laws changed—but nothing happened. He got hit in the nuts essentially for nothing.” ([09:02])

• Who protests, and who doesn’t?

  • Jamie Rosales: “You know who you don’t see at these rallies? Us Mexicans. They used to be the ones maddest…but they know it isn’t going their way. Let’s come up with a new plan. Smart.” ([07:11])
  • “Yeah, unplanned blacks aren’t there either. It seems to be just a bunch of really angry whites.” ([08:01])

• Empathy Boundaries:

  • Cody email: “Not having feelings and not having feelings for idiots are two different things.”
  • Holmberg’s take: “Yeah, it disappears for dummies. That guy had it coming. I don’t trust anyone in a gas mask.” ([10:41])

---

3. Signature Show Banter: Food Revulsion Analogies

Strawberries and Coconuts: ([14:38] - [16:02])

• Holmberg on strawberries:
  “It’s like biting a homeless man’s nose. All those little seeds pop into your mouth like blackheads... Coconut—the other one—it’s just hair. Clip your fingernails, wrap them in hair, put them in your food. It’s the same.”

---

4. Musical Comedy & Listener Engagement

• Listeners suggest parody songs to match the viral video.
• “People want to hear that Palladio Ban Fazi or whatever, the Ouch My Balls song for that dude.” ([16:03])
• They attempt to sync song with video for comedic effect:
  “Here comes the pepper ball to the nuts… If he’s getting hit in the nuts is funny, 100% of the time!” ([17:13])

---

5. Hot Topic: Bill Belichick and the NFL Hall of Fame Snub

Key Discussion Points:

• Admission of NFL Punishment:

  • Holmberg says Belichick’s Hall of Fame denial is “punishment” and an implicit admission of Patriots’ cheating.
    • “His punishment is he can’t be a first ballot Hall of Famer. That had to be discussed when they burned all those tapes… This is the first admission by the NFL that the Patriots cheated.” ([18:06])

• Evidence and Legacy:

  • “When Roger Goodell said… ‘We’re going to destroy those tapes’, I knew… the guilt was beyond measure.” ([18:54])
  • Stories from former players (Heinz Ward, Jerome Bettis) confirm that the Patriots knew other teams’ plays due to cheating.
    • “Heinz Ward said… they were calling out our plays with our new language… They barely knew it. How did they get this?” ([20:51])

• Deflategate Sidebar:

  • Holmberg: “Once they got caught in the deflate thing, suddenly the Patriots weren’t holding the ball like they used to…” ([27:37])
  • “If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying. But don’t get caught, ‘cause once you get caught, you were cheating. That’s over.” ([28:38])

• On sports punishment culture:

  • “Plenty of assholes in the Hall of Fame. He’s an ultimate jerk-off, but him being denied…says so much more…there’s an admission.” ([22:48])

---

6. Digression: Belichick’s Relationship & Age Gap Jokes

[30:45] and on:

• Extended riff on Belichick’s much-younger girlfriend, played for shock/grotesque humor.
  • “Think the strawberry nose thing was bad? Picture Bill Belichick’s bloated body throwing it in that cheerleader. She likes it. Here’s my thumb…” ([31:10])
  • “He’s a hero because he went strive for… but the fingering part is the gross thing. Like, the sex is nothing. But any man in his 70s… It’s just gross.” ([33:11])

---

7. Closing Banter & Wrap-up

Empathy Revisited:

• Holmberg insists he does have feelings—just not for “idiots” actively provoking fate.

  • “People will say if a dog got hit in the balls, you’d be upset. I’m like, what the hell are you shooting pepper balls at dogs for?... People standing in the road with gas masks, probably gonna get hit in the nuts…and I'm gonna giggle.” ([37:00])

• Show’s philosophy:

  • “We all clutch our pearls and act like we have the moral virtue of a nun, and then we watch all that stuff and giggle at terrible things.” ([38:31])

---

---

Final Thoughts

Signature Message:
Holmberg and his crew lean into the irreverent, arguing that humor—even at the expense of protest “heroes”—is universal and draws communities together more than it divides. At the same time, they needle at the NFL’s own moral calculations in public scandal, using humor to mask but not erase true skepticism about power and justice.

Notable Farewell (to Stacy and all):
“To Stacy who emailed and said John doesn’t have any feelings… I think Brady and his dog Snatch can attest to the fact that I have feelings… And people will say stuff like, if a dog got hit in the balls, you’d be upset. I’m like, what the hell are you shooting pepper balls at dogs for?... People standing in the road with gas masks, probably gonna get hit in the nuts with something, and I'm gonna giggle.” ([38:00])

---

TL;DR

• Laugh all you want at dumb protest injuries—everyone secretly does.
• NFL’s refusal to honor Belichick is confirmation the Patriots really did cheat.
• Sometimes empathy has its limits—especially if you put a gas mask on and don’t protect the family jewels.
• Most important: If you get hit in the nuts on live TV, never live it down… and your co-workers definitely saw.

Comberg's morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Yeah, yeah. Feeling good on a Wednesday. Yeah. Getting through it. Smile on my face. Everything's good. Sons won last night in a game that nobody was playing. They had a, a tight one against Brooklyn, but they walked away with the W and another did another day without book under your belt and keep walking. I got to start thinking about basketball because we got one more football game left and then my life goes into some sort of weird, like, strange weight. I'm gonna, I'm gonna watch dudes in their underwear and couple weeks just running around in Indianapolis and the combine is going to become important to me. I have got a problem and it's called the football problem. And I ain't alone. One more game and this weekend is going to be the first test. You got the Olympics. That's true. You know, it'll kill some time. That's a good one. Stacy just emailed me and said my emails are like, everybody's like, you know, it's funny. You'll get Those. Stick to fart jokes. Don't. Don't be political. I'm not being political. I mean opposite. But I can talk about anything I want. And. But people say that. And then all my emails are about what's going on. Like everybody's. Everyone wants to yell at me and then tell me not to talk about it. It says homeburg. Stacey. I agree. I'm with you on this a little bit. I don't understand it. I'm going to answer this before I even read it. I don't know. It says, do you feel empathy for people who are trying to do the right thing and get attacked or then they get pepper sprayed or mistreated? It sounds terrible. When you and Brett say you like watching hippies get hit in the nuts. That is my favorite question anyone's ever asked me. Do you feel any EMP for when hippies get hit in the nuts? And I can honestly tell you, no.

[A]

0.

[B]

I could be on the hippie's side and I'm.

[C]

It's like watching someone fall down. I can't, you know, like, can't help.

[B]

We could be on the same side, guys. You're terrible people. I can't believe what you're doing. And then somebody hits the hippie next to me in the nuts and we are in. We're simpatico. And you would just hear. That's all. I would just. You get hit right in the nuts. Like, no matter what. That's funny. She says you. Yeah, it sounds terrible when you and Brett say you quote, like, watching hippies get hit in the nuts. Hilarious. I don't want to be friends with anybody who doesn't. If I met somebody and I'm like, hey, you're a good guy. You want to go golfing? He's like, yeah. Just one thing. I draw the line. If you think hippies getting hit in the nuts is funny, I'm like, ah, we can't be friends. He seems so great up until that. Yeah. Ask that guy if he. Anyway, she says that that guy was standing up for something and sacrificed himself for the greater good. I love you for jokes, but why don't you have feelings, Stacy? Here's what I say about that. If he stood up for the greater good. A, what's his name? You remember him? B, find him and say, do you wish he'd have moved when the guy with the pepper with the big beanbag gun said.

[C]

And nothing to say. But wasn't that there were people, what they call them, that they just went to the events to stir it up.

[B]

I don't care why. I don't care why he was there. He could have been there for, like, a dog. Cause which is my heart. And he's standing in the middle of the road, and a dude with a gun that shoots giant bags of beans at his balls is saying, move. And he didn't protect these puppies. The protect the puppies look. The protect the puppies thing for me goes. And you brought your dog snatch in today. What's his name?

[C]

Catch. Catch.

[B]

You brought Snatch the dog. I forgot for a second. And if I got a dude aiming a weapon at me saying, that's enough. Protect the puppies. Marching. I'm like, I think we made our point here. Go ask that guy if he. If he's proud of all he accomplished when that hippie got caught in the balls. And look, protect the puppies if a hippie gets hit in the nuts. Maybe I don't have feelings, Maybe I'm part sociopath, but I find it.

[C]

It was funn.

[B]

It's funny because it's not me. But I guarantee you ask that guy. He's not exactly sitting there going, I do it again. I bet I haven't seen him at any more marches as the nut dude. He's the bravest man we've got in Phoenix. I bet you that guy is like, I don't ever have that happen again. I got a little fired up over whatever. Whatever. I don't even know what he was marching for. I don't care. Doesn't matter, Trump.

[A]

I'm going to watch it right now.

[B]

There it is again. And look, everybody else moved, and he's kicking tear canisters. He's got a gas mask, which. Which means he wants to be part of this.

[C]

And they're telling him to leave.

[B]

He just takes it in the ball. I don't care if that was to save babies.

[A]

Oh, let's watch it again.

[B]

It's just. Bam. Oh. I mean, that is a direct and to that cop that did it, you asshole. But what a shot.

[C]

Just misses the wagon. And there's Kaepernick.

[B]

Then Colin Kaepernick comes out and saves the day.

[C]

Look at the guy with the wagon just going, mind his own business.

[B]

Just look at everybody else is like, dude's gonna shoot you in the balls. If I own a gas mask, I'm going places. They gas people. That doesn't seem like something I want to do. And no, maybe I don't have feelings. Maybe you caught me on that one.

[A]

My God, it looks like Doug Hopkins.

[B]

Or Is that hop? I don't think Hopkins would have.

[A]

No, no, I'm just saying.

[B]

Look at the guy.

[A]

Wait, watch after he gets hit.

[B]

Which one? Kaepernick? No, no, no, there's that. That guy goes down hitting the nuts. Hippie in the nuts.

[A]

This guy right here.

[B]

When they go up, Doug Hopkins is buying people's houses. Right there at. Right There it is. That's Hopkins.

[A]

I got five grand for you, bro. Got five grand.

[B]

What are you doing out there, Dougie? Ooh, there's the Doug Hopkins guarantee right there.

[A]

You know what? I've never gotten hit in the nuts with a pepper ball. Never been in a situation where I was going to.

[B]

Because if I'm going anywhere with you and I'm like, hey, what's with the gas mask? Just trust me. We're gonna have some fun.

[C]

I'm getting out, and let's cross the barriers. We're not supposed to.

[B]

Let's stand there when those guys with those giant guns are yelling at us to move. I'm like, I'm gonna move. Like, that is when I. I'm. I'm going home. Jamie Rosales says, you know who you don't see at any of these rallies? Us Mexicans. They used to be the ones maddest about this, but they know. They know isn't gonna. Isn't going their way. So let's come up with a new plan. Smart. And I do enjoy the fact of.

[C]

You going over there and getting detained. It could be a mistake. You don't want to take any chances.

[B]

Like, you're. Like, they're the ones that are showing true. Like, there it is. Because they're like, I'm scared of ice. I'm staying away from it. And it's all these hippies.

[C]

Can you afford taking two weeks away from work? Not intentionally.

[B]

Yeah, unplanned blacks aren't there either. It seems to be just a bunch of really angry whites. And I'm whatever, that's great. Go get them. But once the once the. Once you have to put a gas mask on, it's pretty much over. Live to fight another day, they say. Now the ref is stopping it. Sometimes your favorite side loses a round. But quit yelling at me about not having feelings, because if you don't think hippies getting hit in the balls ever is funny. I'm empathetic for the fact that I've been punched in the pills before, and it's, like, no fun. But also, I didn't stand there. Like, we have those videos Brett shows when ladies are just Kicking dudes in the balls. And really, what are you doing? I don't have empathy for when you put yourself in a situation that somebody could hit you in the nuts. And if you're wearing a gas mask, you know. You know, the dude shooting gas at you is like, well, we're not going to get to him. So what else you got? A sandbag. I could hit him in the balls with it. You know, give him one of those.

[C]

Well, you can plan ahead. March 28th.

[B]

That's right. Another march for not having kings, which we don't, but. Okay. And bring your gas masks. I just don't get it, so. No, I don't. And if that dude's name was, like, legendary because we had to build statues after he got hit in the nuts. And then laws changed, but nothing happened. He got hit in the nuts essentially for nothing. I mean, he just ran around in a city for a night or two and was mad. And people were like, all right, that's enough. You're allowed to be mad, but that's enough. And then they nutted him, and no one knows who he is. He's the dude. I guarantee he's the dude in the office that every birthday, like, hey, it's Brian's birthday. And then they show the videos, like, that is a joke between his friends and him.

[A]

His white elephant gifts. A box or a bag of pepper balls.

[B]

Bag of pepper balls. Or a thing of ice from Circle K. Sit on this. Or peas.

[C]

I'm forgetting. But what was that protest?

[B]

We don't know. And I don't even care. Don't even look into it. It doesn't matter because all the protests are the same. It's angry and nothing changes. So it doesn't work. Travis says, does Stacy's mom still have it going on? If not, shut up, lady, and get in the kitchen. All right, that's too far, Travis. Now, I got empathy for Stacy with. But it would be nice if you made us something. Something spicy, like peppery. This says not having feelings and not having feelings for idiots are two different things, Cody. I like that. Yeah, that's wisdom. I have feelings, but I guess I don't.

[C]

It loosens up for.

[B]

Yeah, it kind of disappears for dummies. Oh, that guy had it coming. I can tell you, I don't trust anybody in a gas mask.

[A]

But I think it was just as funny when she picked up the flashbang yesterday before.

[B]

Too soon.

[A]

So it's not just the dudes. It's, you know, it's equal opportunity for us.

[B]

That one Was great.

[A]

Idiots are idiots.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Medic.

[B]

Yeah. Medic. Medic. Ah, you're right, Brett. What's funnier? The hitting the nuts thing is universe, you could show that to a Chinaman. I'm not sure you're allowed to show them.

[A]

It'd be pixelated.

[B]

Yeah, but you could. Yeah. Would it? That's Japan, I think Japanese. I know the Chinese dude.

[A]

I think it's over there. That's fine.

[B]

But you could show the getting hit in the nuts to Chinaman and be like, oh, right in the pier. And you wouldn't have to explain the context. The lady running around screaming, medic. He go, watch that. So I think universally hilarious or nutshots. And then, like, just situationally funny as a woman picking up a flashbang and losing a couple fingers.

[A]

This guy Tom says, I worked with that guy. We were told not to talk about it the next day. Man, did we laugh at that.

[B]

Dude. Nut ball. Laugh out loud. I don't know if it's true or not, but it doesn't matter because you just know that he want. He comes limping into work. Well, I saw you on the TV last night there, Todd. Shut up. There was a memo says you guys aren't allowed to make fun of me. Oh, not to your face. Sure. I would walk by and give him one of those nut flicks. Dickhead.

[A]

It's still bruised.

[B]

Should have moved. You should have moved. You should have worn a cop. You brought a gas mask. You didn't protect your balls. Think you'd have been Iron man if that thing hit you in the nuts and you just stood there and went, you know, pulled the whole gladiator move. I'm King Kong up in this mother. I just. I get all my emails are coming because everybody's all fired up about it.

[C]

Just relax.

[B]

It's fun to watch people get hit in the balls. This one says, what I'm hearing is the whites are protesting because all the manual labor is being taken away and they don't want to have to do the work. Well, he's a Mexican guy.

[A]

There's something to be said about that.

[B]

Yeah, they don't want to pick strawberries. White people worried about their strawberry volume. It's something. Something. Check out Homburg's morning sickness [e-mail] the.

[B]

Sickness I don't like strawberries. They can sit and die on a vine. It's like biting a homeless man's nose. I have no interest in a strawberry. Next time you have a strawberry Old John Holmberg method. Close your eyes. Picture the dirtiest homeless person you can. And when you bite down into that strawberry, imagine it's his nose. It's the exact same texture. All those little seeds pop into your mouth like blackheads. You just know he's loaded with them like one of those Biore strips and you just lick it. That's what a strawberry is. They don't taste good enough to tolerate the gross. Coconut's the other one. It's just if you want just when you eat coconut, just imagine that it's just hair. Once you like a dude just cut his hair and picked it up off the floor and put it in whatever stew required coconut in it and then close your eyes and say, is this hair or is it food? And you'll quickly realize coconut has it's one of the biggest food Scams pulled on people ever. Coconut is awful. You should try it in your coffee hair. It doesn't disintegrate or anything. It just floats in there like fingernails.

[C]

The coconut flavor.

[B]

Yeah. No, no. Yeah. Clip your fingernails, wrap them in hair, and then put them in your food. Tell me it's not the same exact thing as coconut.

[C]

All right.

[A]

People are wanting to hear that Palladio Ban Fazi or whatever, the Ouch. My Balls song for that dude.

[B]

Yeah, it's. Let's see if that matches. Hold on, let me find those things. Where's the Palladio songs? There's that. Here you go. All right. Fire up the video, Brett. Let's get. I'll see if I can time it to where that kid starts singing. Singing. Hi. Here we go. The video is playing. Let's see if I can time this to the actual. Here it comes. That's gonna be right on time. Here comes the pepper ball to the nuts as loud as you can make it. That's how he. Used to be a baritone. Here comes the big note. If he's getting hit in the nuts is funny 100% of the time. Oh, man, that's good stuff.

[C]

Getty Lee wakes up and that's a nightmare.

[B]

Keddy Lee's like, too high. Stop singing like that. Here's a fun thing, too. The Cardinals coaching. They. Here's the first time I've ever seen this. The card Cardinals interview a guy to be their head coach, and then he leaves and goes, no, thanks. Like, what? Just take me out of consideration. But the best news I've seen, and this is the first admission by the NFL and by every facet of management and leadership that the Patriots cheated. It's. To me, everybody's like, oh, Belichick was a dick. I'm like, no, his punishment is he can't be a first ballot hall of Famer. And that had to be discussed when they burned all those tapes. Like, we're gonna punish you.

[C]

It's not Jordan.

[B]

No. And he. If anybody on on records should be first ballot hall of Famer, it's Bill Belichick. But the fact that he's not tells me that the NFL said it's because you cheated. We can't do it. And they didn't. Yesterday, the announcements came out of who's going into the hall and Belichick, he's out. And I, you know, look, I am a adamant hater of Bill Belichick up until recently when he became the coolest dude I've ever seen. But when he was The Patriots coach. He got caught multiple times. The tape thing is massive. If that happened today with the hand gambling we've got and there would have been. It would have been a massive scandal.

[C]

The evidence it was denied it.

[B]

It's already a scandal the way it was back in 01 through 04. But when they. When they. When Roger Goodell said I've seen all the tapes. We've come to our judgment and we're going to destroy those tapes. I knew the second the commissioner in football said we're getting rid of the tapes no one will ever see them. That the guilt was beyond measure. The mob would have killed everyone. Vegas would have killed everyone. And they admitted it. They admitted it was and they. Whatever they had done by and he lost like a couple hundred grand and draft picks and like they admitted what he did was they were just flat cheating. They just knew things they shouldn't have known. And yesterday when they didn't induct him into the hall of Fame first ballot I knew right there gotta be that's because of the tapes. Those tapes. You don't destroy them unless getting having them get out destroys your product. And I think that's what would have happened. I think. I think the NFL all got away with one once they realized what he was up to. Because when you know they're like we. They couldn't make it a bigger deal because then people would have gotten deeper into is scandalous. And he didn't need to do it. Which is the crazy part. They were cheating. There's no question. And every Patriot fans like you can't put I'm like yeah. The NFL said no. They're guilty of everything. And they got a huge fine and a year like losing picks and like their bosses said you cheated and then destroyed the tapes. If the tapes weren't any big deal, they'd be like it's not as bad as you think. We did catch them on a couple of things you can't. They destroyed the evidence. So it never went further. There was an agreement. There was a payout. I think the Italians got paid. But part of it had to be Bill there's going to be some odd embarrassment for you. You're not going to get any NFL honors and things like that until after you're gone. Maybe the Pete Rose thing that when you're dead maybe because if anybody that's.

[C]

Pushing it right now. I mean he's denied.

[B]

Yeah it's. And now I think he's going to want to come back to the NFL and get him might as well. And then. But I think the NFL would love that because they have to wait five years after retirement to put you in the hall. So if he comes back, it starts over, you know, like Philip Rivers now has to wait. Another fun. Unless they make an exception. And they could. But that was the biggest admission to me for the first time that he has a scarlet letter. And I love it. I love it. Especially as the Patriots head into their 12th Super Bowl. And I understand the dude was always looking for an angle, but that tape thing, I'll never forget. Heinz Ward lives here now. Now. And I'll never forget that interview. And bet us, too. And Ben Rothsberger still says, like, he wasn't there in the 2001 game. But Heinz Ward said they were calling out our plays with our new language we'd installed that week when we'd line up our new words. They were calling out the plays and like, we barely knew it. How did they get this? Because they were filming practices and they were just lining up and beating them to everything. And Jerome Betta said, there was one time we lined up and the nose guard, Vince Wilfort, called timeout and then ran off the field. He goes, nose guards don't run 50 yards unless they got some information or something's going on. And he said he ran off the field, talked to the coach. He goes, when's the last time you ever saw the nose guard stand up and go timeout? It's never happened because they had the wrong personnel in and they knew it. And there was a goal line thing. They come back out with a new personnel. And Betta said, all we did was flip the play to the other side because we're. He said. But then they came back and they knew exactly what we were doing. Said stuffed him at the line. And Tony Dungy and Peyton Manning wouldn't have meetings inside the locker room at Gillette Stadium because they'd go into the bathroom and whisper changes at halftime. They're like, I don't trust them. They bugged things. Yesterday was the first time the NFL ever said, we know that. And everybody thinks it's because he was an asshole. He was an ass. There's plenty of assholes in the hall of Fame. He's an ultimate jerk off. But him being denied into the hall, it says so much more than just, oh, we got you, you jerk. There's a. That's an admission.

[C]

Remind me. The Football hall of Fame is voted on by.

[B]

Oh, they have. I think it's just hall of Fame members. I think the press has some stuff to do with it. There's.

[C]

Because it's not committee press.

[B]

No, no, no. Baseball is.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Ridiculously stupid. And they're punishing people just for. For being like. Bonds is a jerk to the press. Yeah. And if you're a jerk to the press and you've had a couple back, they're gonna pay, but they're gonna make you wait. Pete Rose should have absolutely been in the hall of Fame, but they wouldn't give him the honor because, you know, he gambled. But are they now?

[A]

I can't remember with Pete. Now he's eligible, but he still didn't make it in this year.

[B]

I don't know. They're gonna put him in. Actually. I didn't know this. Clint just said coaches don't have to wait the five years like players. I didn't know that. I didn't. So then why'd they wait? I guess they didn't. He's only been. He's been out for five years. I saw yesterday it was his first year of eligibility. But some guy just sent me a picture of a strawberry and a homeless man's blackhead nose. It's the same. I'm gonna send that to Brett. We're gonna. He said, you got me again, you bastard. I just vomited in my mouth. And then he sent me a picture of a Biore strip covered. That's the grossest thing humans do. Whatever we collect in our nose pores. And. Yeah, we invented things like a micro prairie dog home. Yeah.

[C]

They're all popping out of those.

[B]

Pull it out and it's like you've got little maggots living in your pores. A nose like mine. There's like little baseball bats in there. Oh, it's so gross. I had a friend. Oh, this was when I first started boxing. If you punched him in the nose, all of his pores seeped. This oozing. It was off. I didn't want to get it on my gloves. He jabbed him. His nose would start to kind of pop and it was liquid plastic coating on your gloves. It was. Yeah, it was. He had a shield and. Oh, it would. It would. Like, I'd wipe my gloves on my shorts every time. Like, if you landed anything on him, his nose would ooze white pussy. But it didn't show until it got pushed. There was a kid at Tony Romans, he used to take his two fingers and put him in his nostrils and push out and a bunch of stuff. Christ, that's. It's gross. Anyway, back to Bill Belichick not that you guys don't want to hear more about Noah's Blackheads and that weird stuff that lives in your. And I bet you there's a bunch of people right now just going, you know what? Just grab their whole nose and squeeze and see what comes out. Because it's bleh. Yeah, we invented an. A whole shelf at the drugstore to pull all that stuff out of our. Our gross ass faces. That's why when you see those people who have that AI skin, like, ah, so lucky they're they'd take a biore strip and nothing. I do it, it's like sunflowers everywhere. At least I don't get like, if I push on my nose, a bunch of junk doesn't shoot out. But I'm. Yeah, I'm back to the thing. I'm happy that Bill Belichick is being shunned because he's a cheat. But the best part about it is, is that now the Patriots are going to get. I don't like that the media is handling it the way they are because they just think it's all, you know, behavior. It's not. There's something. Something. Check out Homework's Morning Sickness podcast at 98kupd.comberg's Morning Sickness. And so the Patriots have to go into the super bowl with this hanging over him a little bit, which is, yeah, some of your. Some of your din. You have to admit it, Patriot fans, some of your championships are in question because of that. They. You have to say, yeah, we probably. We probably. You won every game by three points. The first. All your Super Bowls early on were barely wins and it usually got off to a pretty good start, which is telling me that you knew the first 15 plays. That pretty much seals the deal that you got. And all right now we're in a real game, but we, we took advantage of the first 15 and we got a 60 lead. You spotted yourself a little and you have to admit that because the NFL just did. And I love it. We're on.

[C]

Indianapolis never fumbled.

[B]

Well, that was the deflate gate. Five years in a row they had a fumble rate that was triple second place. We just held on to the ball better than everyone else. That's weird because it just, it moved all. Nobody was consistently second, but the Patriots were first all the time. And that's when the Colts caught that pass and said, they're deflating the balls. When they have the ball, it's a little bit less. It's easier to hold on to just a Little. It wasn't about passing, it was about holding. It was the running backs and the receivers could hold it. The great debate. Yeah, it doesn't matter. It's just a pound. Like it does matter. You ever play basketball with a ball that's a little deflated? It doesn't bounce the same. They were doing that too. And for five straight years. And then once they got caught in the deflate thing, suddenly the Patriots are. They're not holding the ball like they used to. They're back in the mix of like, ah, we were 13th this year. You were first every year for five straight years in a category nobody's ever run the table on, there's two guys.

[C]

In the locker room. Get rid of them.

[B]

Yeah, they fumbled like it was like one fumble for every, you know, 67 touches or something like that. The next closest was like 23. We fumble the ball every once in a while. It comes out never. We're just better coached. No, because when we took your. When we re inflated the balls, you guys started fumbling it like everybody else. And that one, I don't blame them for. That's clever, that's smart. But again, everybody kind of lost sight of why they were doing it. Oh, it's Tom Brady can throw it better. It's easier. No, it's the other way. It's the dudes catching it can hold it after they get it and it's harder to notice. It's a great cheat right there. Again, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. But don't get caught because once you get caught, you were cheating. That's over.

[A]

How many years were they, you know, I mean, that's just it. I mean, it took them a while to catch them. Wasn't that got caught the first time?

[B]

No. And they kept getting involved. And again they were leading the league and getting caught doing stuff and everyone don't do anything. Why are you picking on us? Like, you keep getting caught. Everybody's doing something, but nobody's getting caught but you.

[C]

What's the lesson? You cheat, you get rewarded.

[B]

Right?

[C]

Tom Brady's got a nice contract with Fox.

[B]

He's got $36 million a year to tell us about football. Gronk, and he was great, and Gronk was great and they had a little help along the way. Every team does. But you guys got caught red handed a couple times. So Patriot fans, you have to sit back and say, yeah, we, we hammered a couple of those, but we got it. And when you got caught, they can't take it away. So it's kind of a wink and a nod like, you guys are bad. And we still got three Super Bowl. By the time you caught us, we had three Lombardies. All right, well, don't do anything else stupid, all right? And they didn't for a little while. They didn't go to any Super Bowls. Next thing you know, they start winning Super Bowls again. They're like, how come your footballs are all flatter than. God damn it. They're doing it again. Now I'm going to bone a teenager. This guy get away with. What a life.

[C]

It's boring. Needs to do something else controversial.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. I hope when he gets. Because he will get into. Maybe not when he goes into the hall of Fame, though. If they wait until he's dead. I hope that teenage bride of his goes up and does the speech because that'll just drive everybody crazy. And over the ultimate Belichick.

[C]

She's growing out of his.

[B]

Yeah, I'm gonna speak for my husband. Oh, God.

[C]

It'd be great if his bronze bust. She's just to the side.

[B]

I want her on it. And I want to hall of Fame bus with my girlfriend. She's hot. Doing a cheer. I want her in the background doing cheers. Nothing weirder then that dude smiling at a cheer contest. He is sitting in the crowd just like. I can still smell her on my fingers. This is gross. Think of that. That's happening. Bill Belichick gets to throw digits in that girl mentally. Picture that for a second. You think the strawberry nose thing was bad? Picture Bill Belichick's bloated body throwing it in that cheerleader. She likes it. Here's my thumb. I'm gonna put two in the pink. I learned that one from Gronk and she likes it. Gotta go to sleep now.

[C]

Phone conversations Gronk doesn't talk about.

[B]

Hey, Gronk, what was that movie used on that Guru. Two in the Pink and One in the Water. It wouldn't think I wanted to stink. Was that a pinky or something? It depends. All right, I'll practice on with my team bride.

[C]

It would have been funny if it first broke out that he was dating. She's wearing that cut off sleeve pull over, you know, because how the players got busted with the jersey.

[B]

Oh, wearing his clothes. Yeah, I gotta put on my. That's hot. I put my thumb in your butt because I'm 80 years old. I don't care about age differences. That one's a little far. Like 60 years, 58 years apart. Like I'M proud of him.

[A]

Problem is.

[B]

Oh, nothing. Look, I'm, I'm. I tip my cap to it, but it's.

[A]

He's making America great again.

[C]

It's only like 34 years.

[B]

She. No, it's more than that. She's 20 something and he's 70. Plus he's 72 or 3. I thought she was like, she's 25 or 24. I think they're 50 years apart.

[A]

48 years.

[B]

Which makes the finger. Which makes the fingering gross. I was like, sex for her. Yes. Yeah, she's the real hero here because she gives hope to man that you can turn 70 so long as you've, you know, succeeded a little bit.

[A]

But he's a hero too. I mean, it's something.

[B]

He's a hero because he went strive for. But the fingering part is the gross thing. Like the sex is nothing. But any, any man in his 70s going with his. It's just gross. Like fumbling around in his car, getting her on road trips. Like, ew. You don't want to picture real 70 year olds doing that at all. Everybody's got like a parent or grandparent in their 70s now. Picture Grandpa driving down the road, reaching over, going, yeah, and giving her the old captain hook. It's gross. But that's what Belichick's doing. And that's why he's not in the hall of fame.

[A]

And he should.

[B]

Oh, look at him. He'd be in the hall of fame for that. Look at that.

[A]

Come on.

[B]

Pulling up pictures of them together. It's just. Man, he's got all those. We want to feel a ring in there.

[C]

Buried.

[B]

I'm gonna bury a ring in this bra. It's gross. But you know what? They look happy. And that's the weirdest part people hate the most. He doesn't care. He's not in the hall of fame. She dresses up like a mermaid and does like. What's this for the video face? Yeah, it's for my Instagram, whatever the hell that is. Dressed like a Morton's fisherman and land a mermaid. I'll do it. And he's doing it. He's dressed up like the fisherman and he's landed a mermaid and he. Aren't you gonna put that up on the face? Face swap. Yeah. It's not what it's called, Bill, but yeah, whatever it is.

[A]

Look at that.

[B]

Put the mermaid outfit on. I'm gonna guess what I get to that mermaid. I got a finger. Her blowhole. It's gross.

[A]

He's just walking around all of us. Like, love.

[B]

It's jealous. Yeah. And we are. And that's why. Absolutely. The only reason people are mad is because it's gross. It's like, all right, you're thinking of what's gross. It's. You're the pervert. You're thinking of them doing it. What do they have to talk about? You're missing the point. Talk? Yeah. Why? See, he got to his 70s and.

[C]

He realized eventually, you have to.

[B]

This whole talking thing has been overrated my whole life. He's lost a couple. He's lost a couple of wives.

[C]

The answers, like a press conference.

[B]

He's lost a couple of wives. My guess is because they were age appropriate conversations going on. It's like, oh, God, how long is she gonna talk about her arthritis? If I hear another word about menopause. You're supposed to listen to. I'm gonna go to a beauty contest and see what I can pull when he did it. She seems nuts, though. But whatever. There they are. When they met. All right, Brett, put those pictures anyways, not in the hall of Fame. And I like it. I like it a lot. So sorry, Bill, Sorry, Patriots fans, but this is the first admission that the NFL. Whoa. Who's that?

[A]

Some Instagram.

[B]

Brett, turn off the tv. Wow. Yeah. First admission, the NFL said. Ah.

[C]

Would you like to go to the bathroom?

[B]

We got a punishment. Yeah, I'm gonna be in the bathroom either way. With that thing wandering around at 7:16. Let's get ourselves a glorious Wake Up Song. Brett, what do you got?

[A]

All right, Wake Up Song is right here. We got Sepultura on the list. Limp Bizkit, Making Love to Morgan Wallen.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Drowning Pool, Rage Against a Machine, Ministry, Mud Vein, System of a Down, Three Days Grace, Tone Sour, Iron Maiden, Run to the Hills for the Zip Zoners. Snot My Balls. For the guy that got hit in.

[B]

The nuts with the balls, let's go with Snot.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Snot, my balls, your chin, my ball, yours. It's a great. And again, to Stacy, who emailed and said john doesn't have any feelings. And maybe, you know, I think Brady and his dog Snatch can attest to the fact that I have feelings that Snatch and I, we got along real well right away. Snatch was a little. I came up the stairs and no, Brady was bringing his dog in this morning. There's a dog in the hallway and he goes, ooh. When I came up the steps, I'm like, we're good. And Brady goes, that's Snatch. Oh, that's horrible. And so I pet snatch. And then we. He leaned on me and we became buddies. He gave me little smooches and everything else, and I felt great. And that proof I'm. I care, you know? And people will say stuff like, if a dog got hit in the balls, you'd be upset. I'm like, what the hell are you shooting pepper balls at dogs for? Of course I'd be upset. Something's gone crazy. Haywire. If a dog's getting pepper balled in the nuts, he's not wearing a gas mask. Don't shoot dogs in the nuts. People standing in the road with gas masks, probably gonna get hit in the nuts with something, and I'm gonna giggle.

[A]

I'm sorry.

[B]

I like it. Brett likes it. I'm not alone. Hilarious. That video's been circulating. I got three people that sent it to me while we were looking at it. This is great. One of them is one of my cop buddies. Like, I still have the video. He sent it right over. Like that guy. That's. Most people find it hysterical beyond the social ramifications of why and whatever he was protesting. Someone don't care.

[A]

Someone looped it on YouTube where it just keeps hitting him. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Because see it on the top five.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Protest.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah. We. I've seen the Internet. We all clutch our pearls and act like we're. We have the moral virtue of a nun. And then we watch all that stuff and giggle and terrible things. Everybody's putting on a show, and the people who aren't get yelled at. Oh, you're horrible. Like, no, I'm not. Just not. I'm not auditioning for you every day. In a weird way, I am, but I'm not. I don't really mind if you disagree with me. That seems to be lost on culture now. But I'll tell you right now, we could unite over it, because that's ball shots. That dude could be on my team. It could be a relative, and I'd still find this video funny. And if you know him, I don't know where he. He's out there today. Oh, yeah. He's in Phoenix somewhere today going, pricks. Bringing it up again. That people are going to send me that. Send him the video today. I don't know what. What. It is chocolate cake day or whatever. It's also send guy who got hit in the balls the video day. If you've got it and you know him and tell me who it is, I'll send him the. I just got it from a cop. Great stuff. My Balls by Snot. This is a good one right here. And it's for you, balls guy. It's 98. It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee. I have heard enough of this.
