John Holmberg
Still streaming Homberg's morning sickness online at 98kupd.com Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Tuesday. It is 5:45. This is the morning sickness. My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett, there's Ladonna. There's big dictator. Because ladonna is everywhere. She is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. Count on it. You will hear her today. Another perfect day in paradise. So stick your head in it and enjoy this glory that we live in. Each and every day. It is just listening to one by Creed there. It's weird because yesterday I did the thing I was. We were talking about the Grammys and stuff and how boring music is to me. Like right now I should be angry at music. Ah, it's too loud. It's, you know, these kids today, I'm not mad at them. I want them to try harder. And I want it to be like more energetic. And look. And then last night, for whatever reason, I'm flipping through some stuff just looking for something to watch. And 90s, the 90s classics were on MTV. So I'm going to what they're playing. So I, I hit the button and there it was. And Sheryl Crow's Leaving Las Vegas was on. How did that song. How what were we do? How drunk were we in the 90s? Give me some of that Brett. Find it.
Brady
Give me a second.
John Holmberg
She's horrible. She can't sing.
Brett
I'm not sure I even remember.
John Holmberg
You'll remember it. It was, it's. And then I went back and listened to other Cheryl Crow stuff and I'm like, this is terrible.
Brady
The only one I remember was that something in the sun.
John Holmberg
Yeah. That's horrible, by the way. Also terrible. She couldn't sing. Like the recording's bad that it's. I mean, it's bad.
Brett
She talks to that song.
John Holmberg
Yeah. But it's talked. And then when she'd sing, she's just all over the place and it's just terrible. So I have to apologize to this generation because I went back to the 90s and started to look at what was nominated for Grammys after I saw that. This is just terrible. It's lazy. It's boring. She can't sing.
Brady
Sounds like the Joker almost. Peter.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Oh, there. It's got that. And there's also another song I think Sean Colvin sang in the 90s. Eternal. All I Gotta need on the Street. I mean, some producer should have said, you're off key. Like most of the song.
Brady
Oh, that's Sean Coleman song sucks.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. And you go through that was nominated.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
This one I went through and listened to a bunch of these and I'm like, this is. I. I can't complain. I guess I've forgotten that was Lilith power. Sonny Came Home. Now, this is a better song than that. Leaving Las Vegas. Yeah. Then cumbersome by 7 Mary 3 came on.
Brady
Don't mind that one.
John Holmberg
You think you do till you hear it again. She open it is boring. And it's about five and a half minutes long. I remember. I guess this one has a little more life kick. I'm not sure my dad would have screamed turn it down. But got a little more energy to it. Man, that Cheryl Crow. I went back and listened about six or seven of her hits. If she wasn't pretty, people would have laughed at her for trying to sing. She's horrible. This one's bad.
Brady
But Brady's right. It's like all that Lilith Fairpower.
John Holmberg
What was we thinking?
Brady
You guys were playing the hell out of it over there.
John Holmberg
The Zone. Paula Cole was another one. She won like, Song of the Year for that Cowboys. Then she had hairy armpits and all that.
Brett
Oh, yeah. Where have all the cowboys gone?
John Holmberg
Where have all the cowboys gone? I have to apologize. Yesterday, I was sitting there saying things about this music. Watching that and all the popular music and how boring and awful it is. I lived through the worst of it. I mean, this music today is 10 times better. And here's the thing to be warned about. Everybody I'm talking about came and went because they weren't that good to begin with. At least the people I watched on the Grammys a couple nights ago could sing.
Brady
How did you not hang yourself in the studio every day playing this?
Brett
He was. He had a box of Kleenex.
John Holmberg
He had a box of Kleenex. Because I'm like, should I kill it? Should I just end it all now? So I remember back in the radio days of first starting. It was terrible. Try doing this in the middle of the night, Brett. You understand overnight.
Brady
Oh, no.
John Holmberg
Back when I started in radio, there was no computer stuff running all the show. You'd show up and in a box with your name on it, there was a. About six pages of the music you were gonna have to play. Like the schedule. Remember the vlogs? Yeah, yeah. Oh, no, Brady, I'm. Don't lie, Don't. Brady was into this stuff. He was his own fan. He used to French Kiss Mary McCann and rebel. Mama and Brady were. They love touching each other and hip dancing, they like to call it, but the. God, that's terrible. Horrible. But I remember seeing stuff like that on my music log. I just going, oh, it's gonna be a tough night. Because that is a tough thing to sit through at 3:30.
Brady
I couldn't imagine playing that for the 3:00 sideshow.
John Holmberg
And people like.
Brett
And he got on the cutting edge with Tom's Diner.
John Holmberg
Well, Tom's Diner was at least early late 80s, you know, that was late 80s stuff. So it came out and kind of moved into the 90s because it was. But it was what a boring era of music, the 90s, where I think we're just in that cycle. I think we're in the same cycle we were with. With what was going on then is kind of going on now. Drag.
Brett
Yeah. Folky almost.
John Holmberg
Well, that's what now is. That's what's happening right now is that with a few exceptions, it was just a bad time for music, the mid to late 90s.
Brady
And we're still stuck with that goddamn Sarah McLaughlin with those commercials.
John Holmberg
And that's our fault for going through that. Weird Friends is great. You know, we were wrong a lot in the 90s. And I have to apologize to this generation because the 90s was horrible. Belly. Jesus, what were we? So coming out of that grunge time, we went into this weird, almost hippie revival. But bad hippies, the Jewel and like women solo artists that were just not very good. But we, for some reason, Fiona Apple, she had a couple of cool ones. Alanis came through, right?
Brady
Oh, Sarah, the song Just Let your.
John Holmberg
Love, this was on the radio like people were dry in the mornings. When I did mornings at the Zone, like, you got that ceremony. I'm like, this is going to. People going to kill themselves. They wake up wanting to feel okay. And we're like, all right, everybody Wake up. It's the Steph and John in the morning. Wake up. Here's this.
Brett
Driving with your coffee mug, sipping it.
John Holmberg
Oh, just pouring it in your eyes. There's no waking up.
Brady
Did you not just drive your car into the.
John Holmberg
Which one's this? Oh, for Christ's sake. I forgot all about this song. So this was in that Meg Ryan movie where she gets hit by a semi and I think Nicholas Cage is a ghost. Women at Work.
Brady
It had the Goo Dolls song on there too.
John Holmberg
Yep. That Iris women would cry and talk about it.
Brady
City of Angels something.
John Holmberg
Is that right? Something like that. That might be right. But she gets hit by a logging truck while she's on her bicycle and he finds her in the road and she looks great. She's dying. You just got hit by a logging truck, baby girl.
Brady
That was silly, man.
John Holmberg
How's my hair?
Brady
1998.
John Holmberg
That generation of women. Thank God for porn because this was a group of women that nobody wants to deal with. They were. What an emotional basket of nonsense. So my apologies to everybody who was like yesterday. Oh, the music's not so. It isn't so bad. We lived through the late. The 90s. The zone era, I call it. Oh, what a crud station. No wonder it failed over and over again. I sit back and I think, how come the Zone wasn't the biggest deal in radio? We were, you know, all the people that were on it ended up doing big things. And it's because the management and the music was just. Is an awful radio station. I apologize to everybody for even being part of that thing. For. Yuck.
Brady
Sorry. You listened.
John Holmberg
What a terrible, terrible thing I did to radio. And I bet you that radio's dying now. I helped kill it. I helped years ago by start by being part of that Zone radio station. Horrible, top to bottom awful. Yikes. Gin Blossoms is another one now. They were early 90s and we here, I think we were more excited about the Gin Blossoms. Yeah. From here, man, I think, hey, Jealousy is a good pop song. I think that's a song that kind of just. It's boring. But there was, you know, I said it was like all the music was. All these kids on Xanax. I didn't realize that, you know, 25 years ago, the Xanax revolution, it was. It was happening back then. What a boring era of. Then you get into like, what was going on that I didn't grasp. Telemetry, Tow the wet sprocket, Towed the wet sprocket.
Brady
I remember Dellamitri.
John Holmberg
They had a midget just it was just this weird back of the fair circus tent bands that came rolling in and I should have just jumped on Eminem. Eminem was the only good thing in the era. Eminem was literally. You go back to the like 95 to 2000 and Eminem was the only thing worth listening to, period. End of.
Brady
Roll to me. Is that.
Brett
Roll to me.
John Holmberg
Roll to me. This was a Scottish band that smells like they've been rolling around a manure. This was just ultimate 90s crap. And then I kind of sat back and thought, well, 10 years earlier than that. It was Bang Tango and Faster Pussycat. I'm like, jesus, has there ever been an era of music that's any good? But it's like going back and looking at movies in the.
Brett
Imagine going through the whole coffee house thing in the 60s.
John Holmberg
Coffee house music was always bad. But movies, like 1% of movies are good. It's like thousands of them released are horrible. Just terrible, unwatchable piles of garbage. And for some reason we place on a pedestal musicians and actors and stuff, and we allow them to call themselves artists. Everything we touch is art. And it's like most of what you do is absolute human on a piece of toast and you shove it down our throats. It is rare. That's why we got to really grab hold of the good stuff. And it is rare that something not only is good when you hear it, but like, you know, creeds one. You just played it, Brett, you know, 30 years later, still mellow, but still a cool song. Pretty decent song. Something that lasts. My God, the 90s were said. Remember, John, how empowered women felt when that Meredith Brooks bitch song came out. I do. And I also remember there was a 30 minute television show about how she was like leading the revolution for women in music and it was gonna be the greatest thing ever. And finally you had to take them seriously. I'm like Carole King, Linda Ronstadt. I'm like, why? When in the world did we just say we don't listen to that? Because it's good. We listened. We never cared. This song has some life to it. Just because she calls herself a bitch. Cussing. I remember there's a girl at work named Lisa that would just rank this in the studio. Like she was proud of it. I'm like, all right, you're done. It's my turn. Don't you call me that. And I'm like, give it. Been barking this the whole time. Like you want this to be you. Oh, my God.
Brady
Does she have a follow up song? I don't Even remember.
John Holmberg
No. And that was the other fun part, is that all of these revolutionary 90s artists just died on a vine after their one hit.
Brady
It's funny because, like on Spotify, she's got 246 million spins on it. And her next one is 2 million.
John Holmberg
Bitch has 246 million spins on Spotify. That's. Spotify is what, only 10 years old, right? So how. That song. She's. She's got a house. And that's the bad thing.
Brett
That's better than average, right?
John Holmberg
We take. Oh, it's pretty damn good.
Brady
Well, Del Metre only had like 22,000 or something.
John Holmberg
Because if you play Della Mitri too often, you will start to stink. Your body odor becomes corn nuts and manure. That's the smelliest group of people I've ever been around in my life.
Brett
Smell like a bog.
John Holmberg
I. Bogs are a cologne compared to Delametri. What I was smelling was decomposition. I was in a morgue when I was next to those.
Brady
Remember this, Jim?
John Holmberg
Oh, God, now you're getting me going. It's your song. This almost ended my time in radio. The Tangerine Speed Up. You know it.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
I broke the CD every time it was on my playlist. Then I got into fights with the music director. But this song was not. And it's probably better than half the crap I was playing. This is a mess. And they love this. And I remember screaming at him, you are making a huge mistake here. This is the worst. You cannot pin your. No, no. It's making us cool. Like we're that. No, we're not. You're going to go out of business. The Zone is going to go off the air. If this is cool to. You gotta quit listening. I hated it. So it was on. I'd break the cd, he'd print another one, I'd break the cd, he'd print another one, I'd break. I said, you keep doing this, but you better wait till I go home because it's gonna die the second I come back in here. And God forbid you put that on my list. Tomorrow I'll break it again. I'll have 20 of them tomorrow. All right, I'll break 20 then.
Brady
There was a band that we used to. I can't remember the band, but here, like when I was still doing part time, everybody would grab the CD and just rub it on the console. And then JJ'd have to print off a new one all the time till we got a memo.
John Holmberg
Stop wrecking the discs. A lot of work and research goes into what goes on this radar? Not very good stuff or you wouldn't be playing Tangerine Speedo. Once again, I've been complaining that the and it is the same people that are in charge today that were in charge then. So they're still the ones responsible for the death of this industry. But you know, they were the geniuses that did the research that Tangerine Speedo was a smash hit. And then a year later, like, that was terrible. And they start pointing fingers at the DJs for not having good ratings. You're fired. Carrie Edwards. You can't work here anymore. Why? If people don't like you, like I think it's you, they don't like you. Tangerine Speedo'd me to death. How many times can I play Sarah McBurn, Sarah McLaughlin and Tangerine Speedo? And you want me to be entertaining between the songs? This is on you. So many people in radio who were trying really hard to be good at it drank themselves into comas or shot themselves and their wives because of radio executives telling them that Tangerine Speedo and Sarah McLaughlin were a good idea. Here you played Leaving Las Vegas twice today. And then Those guys in 2004 had so much cocaine coursing through their veins, they'd go out to their Ford Fairling and shoot themselves in the mouth because they kept getting fired. And it was never their fault. DJs across the United States, it was never your fault.
Brady
Here's another.
John Holmberg
It was the Bob's from the beginning. I, I, this was a good, good.
Brady
Song, but good getting flown song.
John Holmberg
This was 1994 and my ex girlfriend, you played this and her mouth just went like she lost control of her jaw. If she's probably right now, if she's listening at all, doubt it. But maybe she is. I assume she's poor and has a, like a 1988 stick shift Honda Cor. She's blowing the stick shift right now. She dislodged her jaw like a boa constrictor. Like what? Just she's eating a rabbit.
Brett
I mean, there's a big push. There always is. On the marketing side of going after the women and music.
John Holmberg
Well, then women are boring.
Brett
I know.
John Holmberg
I mean, and they suck. Because if that's what they were doing and we were trying to target them.
Brett
Well, we went to, you know, like I said, a little bit the other way as far as guy music was.
John Holmberg
Venting and well, we were trying. When I came back to the Zone after I did Mornings did well there and then they were like, we need to play more Tangerine Speedo and Sarah McLachlan and Ricky Martin and Tal Bachman.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Then I'm like, this station sucks. And I was. I was propping it up like, this is the future. I don't know what. I was just blind by the paycheck, I guess. And it wasn't a good check. They brought me back and said, we got to target men more. We're blowing. They kept saying this was a meeting. I was. How did I not see that radio was filled with dumb. I sat in a room with executives who had resumes the size of a phone book telling me how they knew everything about radio. And I was on a show with a girl, and the girl's name was Stephanie. Stephanie Durant used to work with Pratt here at KUPD before, and she left because eventually everybody finds out Dave Pratt is a thief and a liar, and they leave. So that's what she did. So I'm working with her. I didn't know much from much about the business, so I used to kind of give credit to dudes in suits that they knew what they were doing. And they sat and they said, we're really kind of. Of trying to get the lady who loves Oprah to listen to us, because Oprah's got the biggest audience. And I'm like, okay, so we're. We're gonna do, like, Oprah shows. Like, no, no. You're gonna be, like, appealing to that audience. Like, okay, now, at the time, I'm pretty. Like, I'm pretty into the idea of being the host, but, like, I'll. I'll be a second. I'll do whatever. I'm just getting into this thing. So I'm doing impressions and things. Like, what things I do? And then the guy's like, now in the morning, when I listen, you're pretty, you know, out there. Like, you go after it. You want. You want to be the guy. And I'm like, I don't care who the guy is. Like, yeah, but, like, you're the one who always usually comes up with the funny line. And I'm like, well, that's because she's not funny. Like, the problem you have here, if you. If you're looking for two people to be funny, is that one of us isn't. Well, could you deliver, like, your lines to her and then, like, have her do those funny lines? I'm like, you think I write this? You think I'm, like, writing Regis Philbin says? And I'm like, what is she gonna do when I do it as a character? Well, that's the thing. That's gonna be the fun part. Her failing as characters is gonna be the fun part. Well, she just needs to deliver the. Because we think that women will find her funny, and that'll make it so, like, you can, you know, yin and yang it. And I said yes. I sat in the thing and she wrote for it. Well, occasionally I came up. So there were these dead spaces when I'm just panning out lines of lines like, say this as Regis Philbin. And then Steph got it. She's like, I'm not the funny one. He is. And it was just. And then. But these idiots. And then they came back, said, you're just not appealing to the audience. I'm like, we're number two with women. Your 1849 women demo that you've been shooting. We're in second. Our research says. All right, see you, suits. They've always been terrible at their job, and it's now that we're starting to see that all of. But it's dead. But. Jesus Christ, how in the world. I watched a guy named Freddy Snakeskin about take his life in front of me because radio had destroyed him. And he'd tell me, he's like, I can't do this anymore, man. I can't go bouncing from city to city. And I'm like, where's all your money from? The. You know. And he just pointed to his nose like, you've been doing drugs all the time. Yeah. It's because they made him play songs like Tangerine, Speedo and then blamed him for nobody. Listening, listening. You gotta get out of here, Snakeskin. What? Why? Because you just. Nobody likes you. Oh, man. We're gonna get somebody else in here like you to play Tangerine Speedo and Sarah McLaughlin and Tal Bachmann. And then when it doesn't go. Doesn't go. Well, we're gonna blame him, too. Poor bastards. Poor bastards. I was on a slippery slope to becoming one of those people who just agreed with the. Luckily, I saw them for what they were early and just did what I wanted. And look, I ignored them for 25 years. And here we are.
Brady
Brady should play this one, too.
John Holmberg
Oh, no. Oh, yeah. This is Deep Blue Something.
Brady
No, no.
John Holmberg
Vertical Horizon. Vertical Horizon. Somewhere there's Speed Pain.
Brett
Huge hit.
Brady
Yeah, I'm sure when your dad tuned in, Dan's like, I knew it.
John Holmberg
My son works at a radio station. Which one? Dan? I'd rather not say. He's in a homosexual. Now you're here and you don't know why.
Brady
Oh, man, you know it too.
John Holmberg
Of course I do. I sat there at two in the morning sometimes, my head down.
Brett
Haven't heard that one in a long time.
John Holmberg
Oh, thank God. And there's a reason why it didn't last longer than the four months. It was popular garbage. So my apologies for yesterday saying that the Grammys are filled with songs that I wasn't even saying back in my day. I'm just saying, where's the stuff that's supposed to make me scream that this is terrible? It was also slow and boring. But Jesus Christ. So were the 90s. And I think we're living a new 90s. I think we're. Everything's cyclical. I think currently in music, we're in the 90s again, where some of the stuff we like right now is just to fill time. It's not very good. And that's why Taylor Swift is the most successful artist ever is because that basic average woman is the best thing we got going. Because everything is so boring right now. Terrible. That's the reason why when I turned on Netflix last night, the number one show in America was the O.J. simpson documentary. We're dying for, like, something interesting to happen. And I hasten to say that, because last time I did that, I remember saying on the phone, nothing interesting is happening. And then 911 happened the next day because I. I was talking to my now ex wife on the phone about how everything felt so sort of weird. Like everything was. And it was because of this music. I'd been playing it for five years, and I'm like, everything feels so blank. There's nothing exciting in the world. It's all just kind of run of the mill Groundhog Day. One day after another, she goes, yeah, just feels like we're in the grind. I'm like, I know. But then I said something beautiful. I said, just so long as we know we got each other's back. None of this. We're going to be all right. And she goes, you know what? That's what matters. We are home. If you're somewhere and I'm somewhere because we were living in separate cities. As long as we know that you're there and I'm there, that's our home. We don't have to have the same house to be the same home. Oh, that's beautiful. And then the next day that terrorists tried to kill her. And then it got interesting for a little while, but Christ on a crutch, Boring. And it all started last night with me watching that Sheryl Crow thing. I just Put my hands over my ears.
Brady
Even the women are complaining. Like Jewel here.
John Holmberg
Jewel. Jesus. And there was one reason, one reason only. This Swiss Miss Hootie weirdo. Her cans were why she was popular. No man should ever have owned Jules, but we did. And it was just because we hoped at one point or another boobs would slip out of the cd. Like something. It's all about our cans. Nothing about this is good.
Brady
The A and R guy was like, that's genius.
John Holmberg
Whatever you do is what he was the original porn actor.
Brett
You're gonna make it.
John Holmberg
You mean you sing songs? Yes. What? They're so good. You're my stepsister. Listen to that. We found her in a small town in Alaska. I'm pretty sure she's the voice of a generation. What are you talking about? She's horrible. But look at her, man. You know what? You make strong points.
Brady
You have a point.
John Holmberg
Oh, it's so bad. Bad? Yeah. My dad had to think when I told him I'm working at the 115 zone. I've never listened to that because I have testosterone flowing through my body. I'm not a wild homosexual. Like, let's meet some of the people you work. Oh, he's a homosexual. There's one. And there's another one. It was horrible. And thinking back, I mean, I used to get excited about Matchbox 20 having a new release. Good Christmas. You know, It's a credit to all of them, the whole lot of them. They all knew they had done something terribly wrong to us, and they disappeared. Not one of them's still around. Rob Thomas, gone. Matchbox 20, gone. Goo Goo Doll's still hanging around. But they don't run. You're gone.
Brady
They play casinos near you.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they're. They're gone. And, like, zero have come out of it to still be around. No one from that era is still pumping out music at all. The early 90s. Pearl Jam still tries, but even they got lost in that. Yeah, Just awful. So my apologies. You know, I won't apologize to the Bob's of radio because you guys have ruined it. But I will apologize that I thought it was new, because it's not. You guys have been wrecking this business. You didn't just blow it up since the Internet. You've been chipping away at its foundation for about 40 years. So, Bob's. I apologize. I was wrong. You've been horrible at your jobs a lot longer than I've been giving you credit for. How do we get people to listen in the bathroom? Meetings. That's an idea they have give away shower radios. What are you asking me for? You guys are the shower radio. Yeah. Well, that's my answer. Give them a radio. You know what, John? You're gonna have to not answer that. Well, no, give them a radio. You're asking how come people don't listen to the radio? Because they don't have them. Because you guys ruined radio. So they got rid of their radios and they have phones now. So you want them to listen on the app like you're asking me to do your job for you. Stop asking the people on the air to come up with ideas on how people can show up. It's not my job job. It's your job to get people to show up to the station. It's my job to keep them. That's not a healthy outlook. I'm like, no, no, no. You're just trying to make me do your job for you. Go find out how to bring people you market. Bring people in. I'll keep them.
Brady
This guy Gary says he works for Safeway, and basically all the music we've played is what's playing over their intercom.
John Holmberg
Gary, I love Safeway, but I'm only in there for a few minutes at a time. Run for your life. Someone's trying to kill you slowly. Holmberg's morning sickness.
Brady
I make it through like one matchbox 20 song and maybe a half a vertical horizon.
John Holmberg
I'm out the door. Yeah, I go in, I grab my Coke. Coca Cola?
Brady
Yes.
John Holmberg
I'm not buying Coke. It's safe. I even know if. If I listen to that music all day, I'd be looking for that aisle.
Brett
Going through self checkout. Just the way it is, baby.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I think that's 80s too, Brady. You're pointing out that it sucked even before. Was that the.
Brett
No, that's the Rembrandts.
John Holmberg
I don't remember that. The Friends guys. Yeah, I thought that was the way it is. I don't remember that being 90s. Oh, he's got it. It's so bad. He's remembering B sides. I remember the year. Oh, right.
Brady
Oh, now I remember this.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. It makes me think. It makes me think to myself that they have been trying to slowly get us to kill ourselves. No wonder we're all on Xanax and Mood. This is terrible. And I know it was your friend Brady, but the guy that kind of started the Zone, he killed himself. It's the music. His was music. Oh, his was worse. Deeper. His was worse.
Brett
I mean, you're talking about.
John Holmberg
That was when the radio station was at its absolute worst that they were trying to be be. They did a segment called 10 songs you don't know in a row.
Brett
That was the marketing kind of slug things.
John Holmberg
You never seriously ten in a row. Why would you do that? Because radio executives have always been stupid. Here's tense. Because that was their clever way of saying we're cooler than everyone.
Brett
The whole premise behind it is you're playing music that people like to listen to.
John Holmberg
No, they didn't. But if you don't know a cult.
Brett
Following that knows it, but it just doesn't get radio play play.
Brady
But that too cool thing doesn't work exactly.
John Holmberg
Because the Zone had that in mind. And then the people that they hired didn't like the cult factor and they got deeper than the here's 10 in a row you don't know wasn't for an audience of people that knew. It was for people like, I know more than you. And that's exactly McCann. And all those stations altered. There was a guy named Toad Hall. They were nice people, but they had this thing that if you'd heard the song that they thought was unique only to them, they get mad. Mad. They said, oh, you know, that, like, it angered them when audience would say, like, yeah, that came off the. I know that song. Oh, really? Well, here's one. There's. I guarantee you that only music snobs.
Brett
Yeah, that's what the.
John Holmberg
But it became a zone.
Brett
It was like listening to, you know, like, where else can you get more of the Grateful Dead?
John Holmberg
Well, and it became stuff like, here's Grateful Dead songs. None of you know. I'm the only one who knows about it. Like, it was this big.
Brett
That's Widespread Panic, man.
John Holmberg
It was snobby snobs for snobs. Widespread panic. It was snobs for snobs. It was like, if I can find something that's so unheard, I'm the one who wrote it. Like, they would take credit for. It's when people send you a meme and act like they wrote it. You know, it's like they found it on the Internet and they're like, yeah, that was. That's one I found. Remember, I sent you that and like, you found it on the Internet. Like, anyway, you didn't do anything. The Zone was taking credit for, like, somehow or another writing those songs or, like, having some sort of connection to them and all it was.
Brett
Well, there's a. You know, there's a big. There was a station in KBCO in Colorado. Yeah, that kind of was that eclectic, the aaa? They thought, oh, yeah, this market, there's an opening for it.
John Holmberg
But again, the goal there was to have radio executives in Colorado see that the station in Arizona had found a couple songs they didn't know. The whole goal was to make them go, what's that? Because if it was totally unknown, it was cool. And. And then it just. It was so bad. It was. It was awful.
Brady
I don't forget when KDKB first change to what they are. Boy, the first program director made it like that exactly. Turn on. Like, who is that?
John Holmberg
I don't want to hear any of this garbage. Anyway, my apologies to people of today. And it's. That was. The 90s were maybe worse. Maybe it was just every 10 years in the barrel because we need to have. Well, it was revolution tweaked.
Brett
And being the sales side of it, you know.
John Holmberg
Oh, you're saying like four or five different.
Brett
Different. You know, they said they're going to change, but they kept a little bit.
John Holmberg
Of the old one, and it was failing.
Brett
Let's go. Yeah, let's go, Ryan Seacrest.
John Holmberg
You don't keep changing something that's working. And then when it would work a little bit, they didn't know what to do. They kept trying to be cooler than successful. I was in it for five years watching that thing just go, all right, now we got some traction. I'm like, nope, nope, nope. Now we're just doing something that everybody's doing. It's like, you're dumb. They were just dumb.
Brady
These guys suck. Widespread panic.
John Holmberg
Oh, they're horrible. This was awful music. And these people. God forbid, as a listener, you would call and tell the person, I love this song. Oh, you do? We'll never play it again. Like, if you liked it, they hated it. Yeah, it was jam bands. It was like Fish.
Brett
Yes, fish.
John Holmberg
Exactly. Anyway, my apologies. That's all I'll say.
Brady
You're apologizing for your past.
John Holmberg
Apologizing for my past. It was a terrible time.
Brett
Airplane.
John Holmberg
That's the widespread airplane.
Brady
All right, let me see.
John Holmberg
So bad.
Brett
That's one you're.
John Holmberg
Now you're talking about. Never made it. That there was never any success to it. And these idiots glommed onto it like that was going to be the next big thing thing. But their whole goal was to stay anonymous.
Brett
On the advertising side, it was.
John Holmberg
You made money.
Brett
I did.
John Holmberg
But you were also very young, so what you were making felt like more than you were making.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
If you went back now, you'd say, oh, we're A lot of people in this room are struggling. Their whole goal was to remain unpopular. That was cool. What business thinks that way? Only radio. If we can remain wildly unpopular and play things no one knows knows, that'll make us cool. And people will glavitate to that. No, you got a bunch of losers.
Brett
Well, no, no. I'm saying they played stuff that was different, that I.
John Holmberg
It's the worst station in the city. It was. There's no question. And then it changed into an even worse version of itself, and then an even worse version, and then they switched to, like, Alice in Chains and Widespread Panic. I'm like, you don't know what you're doing. I didn't know what they were doing. And I think maybe that the guy that you knew that. That we both worked for, I. Me briefly, and you knew him well, took his own life because of what he had done to our ears for so many years. He took credit for bringing us the Zone. Terrible. So many radio guys have killed themselves.
Brett
That, and being bipolar didn't help.
John Holmberg
Sure. But what made him bipolar? Probably what he had done through the. The people. Yeah. Not understanding that. It was just all. So many radio guys have been killing themselves for years. This industry drives people into the earth.
Brady
You guys played the Verve, too?
John Holmberg
Yeah. Yes. Oh, these guys. The only good thing about this song was it's a Rolling Stones rip. Didn't make money, and the Stones took all of it from them. All of it.
Brett
There's a penny.
John Holmberg
It was a. They had the. The sample. They allowed them, and they played the whole goddamn song underneath it. And Mick and Keith said, you know what? We get every royalty you've ever gotten. And then they started to sell the song to advertisers and stuff. Killed it. And now these guys are allowed to play it again.
Brady
Yeah, I think they gave it back to him after.
John Holmberg
After Nobo. Nobody wanted to buy it anymore. They gave it back. It was great. Ugh. So. What a mess. But, yeah, Sheryl Crow, look what you've started. And I saw her on the Grammys again the other night. She was in a band that was, you know, paying tribute to the LA Fire.
Brett
Yeah, she was in that.
John Holmberg
Yeah. That little Star Jam. Yeah. And she's. She looked great. Looked great. And I'm like, oh, Cheryl Crowe, I like her. She's horrible. Just horrible that Leaving Las Vegas thing's enough to want to. I mean, just rerecord it. Anyway. We're in the 90s again, musically, and that's what I watched on Sunday night. It frustrated me and then I did watch the OJ Thing over the weekend, and it's got some new revealing parts in it, and if you watch that, everybody's watching it. Evidently, it's number one on Netflix by, like, a ton. I was on when I saw that was number one. I'm like, what. What are the parameters to be the most watched on Netflix thing? And it's. You got to put some numbers up. Like, that's a pretty good amount of people watching.
Brady
So there's new stuff in this one.
John Holmberg
Four. It's four episodes. And, yeah, I'm. I'm one that has followed the OJ Thing pretty closely. And then. But I had forgotten, having watched the trial, like, pretty much every day at Tony Roma's, we'd sit and watch that thing. I'd forgotten how because I was too dumb then. I'm still not very smart, but I'm smarter now than I was then how badly bungled the DNA part was. And then there's a few things where, you know, just the evidence collection was bad. And I watching this, and I don't know if it's just the documentary or it's pretty even. It's pretty fair. And, like, it does both sides. Having watched that documentary, I'm like, yeah, probably in the jury told the. He's not guilty. I'm watching this documentary and everything they're.
Brett
Showing me, you come away thinking, he wasn't alone.
John Holmberg
No, he did it. He's just not guilty. Like, they proved beyond a reasonable doubt that what they're saying didn't happen. So they're saying this happened. And the defense was like, I don't know what they're talking about. What they're saying did not occur. And you start. They might have set him up. Like, they might have started getting. So, like, we have put all our chips in this basket. We gotta get this guy thrown in jail, because we don't have anywhere else to go after after this. There's a little of that. He killed her, no question. And at the very end of the documentary, one of his best friends reveals some stuff. And you're like, whoa, this is crazy. And this guy's named Mike Gilbert. He's done this before. But in the way he does it in this documentary, you're like, okay, that's weird.
Brady
Worth watching.
John Holmberg
Then, oh, yeah, it's great. He killed her. He. In the courtroom, he was knocked guilty, no question. Because what they were presenting as the case, he didn't do that. He didn't do what they're saying, you know, and then they Just blew it left and right. One, one, one after another. And it's the first documentary I've seen that kind of goes to the dude who saw O.J. in Chicago throwing a. A towel wrapped thing into the trash out of a duffel bag, and then going to catch his flight or leave his flight or whatever, getting car. But he threw something away in the trash. Maybe it was LAX. He tossed it out at LAX.
Brett
It was. Yeah.
John Holmberg
And a guy's like, there's O.J. simpson. He was waiting to pick his wife up. Think, there's O.J.
Brett
Simpson.
John Holmberg
Look at that. How about that? And he reaches into his bag and he looks around, he's got this thing wrapped up in a towel, and he shoves it in the trash. And then he runs into the airport. Be like, look at that. O.J. had to get rid of some stuff before he left. Nobody, of course, knew at that time that was probably the knife, but. And then his friend. Then one thing that was revealed, that his good friend that came over to his house. House the day after all of it happened as I g. To come over, and he's like, yeah, you should come over. And he says, O.J. what you do to your hand? Because he had that cut on his hand. And OJ Said, I dropped my phone in between the seat and the console in the car, and I reached down and sliced me up. And he goes, oh, okay. Didn't think anything of it. And then another person showed up a few seconds later and said, O.J. what'd you do to your hand? And he goes, I cut it on a glass in Chicago. And his friend Ron goes, oh, my God. He did it. Like you knew immediately. It already told two lies in front of him that day. He couldn't explain the cut on this thing, so it is worthwhile watching. And Mark Fuhrman, poof. I don't know why he keeps doing these documentaries because this dude gets drugged through it. Again, I had him. And they made him look worse in this one than ever before. That dude threw the N word out like he was a rapper that was. And he. He sued the city of Los. I didn't know this. He sued the city of Los Angeles, Angeles to fire him because he said I'm too racist to do the job. And he sued him because he wanted pension. He couldn't quit. He's like, I want my pension. And they're like, why, dude? If I could kill every black person, I would. I'm having fantasies about it. You got to get rid of me. I'm terrible for this. I'm like, no, you're staying on the. You fit into the LAPD perfectly. And he's like, I wanna. And then inward this, N word that. N word this, N word that. And they're like, nope, you're staying. And fact, we got a case for you to get on right now.
Brett
He was like, racial clinger, trying to get fired.
John Holmberg
He was trying to get fired, but he needed his pension. So they're like, why do you want out? Because the N word. N word, N word. And he's like, man, you're a cop. That doesn't surprise us. What else you got? It's like, damn it, that's not enough. I'm too big a bigot. I'm too big. He was telling them he sued them on the grounds of being too racist to work for them. I'm too racist to work here. You're a police officer. That's not even a thing. No, I'm more racist than most cops. Impossible. I mean, a guy sits there and does the documentary again. You just sit and shake your head, just like, dude. But he admits because of me that OJ walked free completely. And then he's like, he killed her. Like, there's no question, question button because of me. And all those detectives hate each other. It's weird. It's a, it's a. It's worth watching. But we are hanging out.
Brett
The dream team.
John Holmberg
Carl E. Douglas, who is the. I think that's right. He was the. Johnny's right hand man. He's in this documentary. And that dude's voice is awesome. He's pretty. Imagine you're eating a giant, giant big ass bowl of spaghetti. And if you're watching, you'll know what I'm talking about. He won't stop saying that. He's. He's pretty great. It's worth it. It's the best. Here, I'll say this. Best thing to come out of the 90s, OJ's murder. Because it wasn't music or movies, that's for sure. What a boring time. We owe OJ a debt of gratitude for not making that entire decade suck. At least he gave us two years of fun. The 90s were a drag, even in Austin Powers when they came back. She goes, we got to go to the future, baby. It's like, are we going to stop in the 80s 90s? No, we're not missing anything. And then he just moves right forward into the. Don't worry about. We won't miss anything. It's 626. Let's get a Wake up song not from that era. Yeesh. No.
Brady
Tracy Chapman was that. I don't know.
John Holmberg
Was that 80s or. That was fast car was like 89 or 9.
Brady
Was it?
John Holmberg
I think. Think so. I think that was when I was in high school.
Brady
Well, Luke Combs redid it.
John Holmberg
Yeah, he did it. And he did it right. He did it. He did it the right way. This the new version?
Brady
You want the new version? Here's the old version.
John Holmberg
A white man singing about being a lesbian. Because that's what the song's about. And that's why Beyonce went and did country. She's like, this is easy. Anybody can do country. And I'll make it great. Because there's the bar so low. Anyway, let's get a wake up song. 585-9800. A good one. We'll scream it together. It's 98, KUPD Wake up. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. Still streaming, Homburg's morning sickness online at 98kupd.com boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Thank you very much. Miles to nowhere. Stabbing westward was 1998 coming on. That was pretty fun. And then they disappeared. Because they didn't. They were no good. Turns out, as it turns out, out that wasn't. Was that. This says that was in 98. That can't be right. Stabbing Westward.
Brady
That's pretty close. Yeah. If it was before that, it was that. That was that kind of pop industrial thing that they were trying. But I don't remember. Gravity Kills was in there. And you know bands like that.
John Holmberg
I don't remember that being part of my radio days.
Brady
I remember that because you were playing towel bass.
Brett
Maybe you weren't there yet, bro.
John Holmberg
There. This one says, John, I'm feeling attacked. I loved the Zone. Some DJ let me in the studio once and gave me his own T shirt and a Spin doctor cd. Well, I mean, how could we ruin that? What a core memory. You ready for a good email? I got. This is a gem. We got a couple of these. Hang on. Oh, this guy said, this isn't it. This is a different one. Said, I recently moved to Texas from Arizona for work opportunities. Opportunities I'm currently working out before going to work. And I'm dying listening online. When that song came on and you said her jaw unhinged like a snake. Almost made me fall over on the treadmill. I love you and I'm still forever grateful your support for first responders. I'll do my best to get you to blow up East Texas. And I'LL never stop listening. Sending some patches and challenge coins your way. Keep it up, Kyle. Thank you, Kyle. Always nice to hear from those guys out there in East Texas. We're trying to be bigger in east Texas. Our corporate bosses have said, what can we do do to make you bigger in Amarillo, Fredericksburg and stuff? We'll try as hard as we can, but no. There's always a song that made a girl unhinge her jaw. The other one that the. There was a girl at the Zone who was an intern and this was like 97, who. If you heard Poe's Angry Johnny and you were just in the vicinity, you were going to have oral sex. We're going. You were. If you were at Applebee's, everyone had.
Brett
A copy in the building.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you're just. You were going to have oral sex with. I believe her name was Andy. You were going to have oral sex with Andy. I, however, never did because my friend was having most of it. But Angry Johnny was. This girl would drop everything like she went into a trance. And unfortunately, it's my name. I should have been the one getting most of the blowjobs. This is terrible. No, it gets going. It's kind of sexy. You'll get it. You've heard it. Hey.
Brady
All right.
John Holmberg
Then she paused and say away. This is a. Like a sushi house mix. This girl, if she was like. If she was juggling chainsaws and this song came on, they'd all hit the ground. She'd go zombie eyes and just find the nearest direction. Must smoke. Yeah, this. This one was. This. This one got her going.
Brady
She's not bad.
John Holmberg
Po is cute. Yeah, but that's all she had. She had a song that told us she was going to blow us away. And then she disappeared from the face of the earth. There was another one that a girl that I didn't ever. Well, of course I didn't, but I didn't. His. This guy that was dating this girl, man, called Star 69. And they had a one hit song. And this was one where he's like, dude, if I put that on, ask anything I want. Ask Mouth hands. All I have to do is ask. That song goes on. I've got three and a half minutes. Yeah, listen to a little pow. Yeah, I remember that girl. We would jokingly put the. Oh, here she comes. And we'd put it on in our rooms. Oh, hey, what's going on, Eddie? If she was eating breadsticks, she'd kill herself if that song came on because she'd just Jam it all the way in there. If she was. God forbid. She was sweeping a floor. The whole broom was going in.
Brett
She passed away at Sam's club at 19.
John Holmberg
Yep. Yeah, she died. She died at the. Yeah, the breadsticks they used to have. She actually passed away at the. She was giving some PVC pipe at the Home Depot and the song came on it. It was tragic, terrifying. I think it was called Star 69. I'm pretty sure that's right. They didn't have much. Another one was a band called Black Lab.
Brady
Oh, I remember we played them here.
John Holmberg
Black Lab had a. Had a. Like a kind of a rock song. Was pretty good. You don't know what that means. Listen to this. This. You're going to love this. Email came flying and you yesterday. Hey, guys. And it starts, hey, guys. And it's from a woman. I didn't know that because she doesn't actually sign it. It's from a Gmail address that just kind of goes haywire. Says it's your. Your biggest fan. And Tolisson is named Ken and he's a son of a. I've been married to him for 16 years. I just got my results back from the gynecologist and I have something that's incurable. Hepatitis. Hepatitis C. I'll tell you this because Ken gave it to me. She's throwing his last name in there. I'm not going to say it. She's trying to get him identified. Ken gave it to me. I haven't touched anyone the entire time we've been together. So I confronted him and he broke down and told me that our entire relationship he has had sex with men on occasion. He's not actually going golfing, as it turns out. He's spending a lot of his Saturdays with men. This dirty F word. N word word, homo F word. Has used me as a beard for the best years of my life. Never wanted kids. Now it's too late and I'm ruined for the future. So I hope you're listening this morning. Ken last name. And I hope all your work friends hear this, too. Ken is a dirty homo F word with hepatitis. Here's the best part. At this point, normally you get a sincerely or like, thanks for listening. F you guys, too. How did we get involved just because Ken found us Hilarious.
Brett
Yeah, that makes sense.
John Holmberg
Well, you deserve it.
Brett
Wow.
John Holmberg
I hope it rots and falls off. What did we have to do with that? Here's what I say to that.
Brett
We're telling them how to spend a Saturday.
John Holmberg
Yeah. After your Salutations Thank God for Ken. Good work, kids. Ruining her for the rest of society. Can't blame your homosexual husband's favorite morning show for why you have hepatitis. We didn't make him gay.
Brady
I mean, he started listening to you at the Zone.
John Holmberg
Maybe at the Zone. That kind of turned him gay A little bit. A little bit of that. That could be. All right, I take a little bit of that back. Anonymous lady, I'm sorry you've got hepatitis, but don't. Don't lash out at me. The world didn't give it to you. Just be mad at Ken.
Brett
Did you have some good times with Ken?
John Holmberg
Well, you know, it. I. I'll give her that. Right. It must be hard. Look. Yeah, because everything she thinks back of is like, remember when Ken went to the bathroom too long at that dinner we were enjoying? He was probably getting some dirty peen in there. I'll be right back. Andrea. I've got to go pee. Pee. Ken, I'm having the best night of my life, okay? And then he just goes, now I'm having the best night of my life too.
Brett
She had no idea. Yeah. What. What's with the feather boas?
John Holmberg
Why does he.
Brett
Like.
John Holmberg
You know when you meet a couple and you don't want to tell the wife that her husband's gay, but you know it, like, right away? Look, you see somebody who's dating a gay guy every once in a while, you'll see. Like, she doesn't know, does she? And everybody else seems to know. He's my best friend. Oh, God. Does he ever give you grief about stuff you want to do? No, he wants to do everything I want to do. You're dating a gay guy you don't like. That's not. Not normal.
Brett
Go shopping.
John Holmberg
I see it a lot. Like, you'll be like, oh, she doesn't know. She doesn't know. She's so happy. So you don't tell her, but you're gonna end up with a hep C. Because he likes to play nut clackers. You don't supply him the materials he needs for enjoyment. When he reaches around and feels air, he's disappointed. Ah, shh. He wants to come around a set of hips and go, bingo. There it is. But it's not my fault you got hep C. I'm sorry. You have it. But there were. There were clues.
Brett
It sounds like they're gonna stay together.
John Holmberg
I don't think so. I think. I think it's hard to stay together when your wife calls you a homo. F word. N word. Yeah, that's a tough one. Like, if I was ever in a fight. I don't think I've ever been in a fight with anybody that's said, you homo. F word. N word. Like, geez, those tough to come back from that. You kind of hate me. I think everything else is probably repairable.
Brady
So when he didn't have a Tupac CD in there, he had a Portishead cd and he just. That. Is that what the. One of the first signs?
John Holmberg
I. There's signs. But yeah, I think there's. There's some stuff you could see. Like you go back. She sits calmly and looks back and goes, oh my God. He knew more about purses than me. Like there's. There's going to be some signs over the last 16 years where Ken was letting you know, you know, if anybody mentioned the prostate. Ken had a lot to talk about. Like he knew every. The ins and outs of the whole thing. Every time he'd say, use two fingers, like that's what Brett reacted like my grandmother. Oh, John. Stuff.
Brett
Every time Cher was in town.
John Holmberg
Right? Right when he stood on the chair and you killed the spider. There were signs. You had to. Donovan says, all right. Oh, Ken. No. To be fair though, taking it in the ass is a lot better than golf. Golf sucks. I'm done. Yeah, there's days when I feel like you could take it in the ass and have a nicer time than a golf around a golf. He wasn't golfing, John, but he was putting it in a hole. That's true. And probably he got some filthy. 16 years. He was playing with fire and he finally brought it home to you. Listen. Says, hold on, Chancellor. So HMS made someone gay. Not her being fat and gross. Not giving enough mouth hugs. Gay guys don't need more mouth hugs to make it stop happening, happening. You can't blow the gay away, ladies.
Brady
I know I didn't email that in.
John Holmberg
Sickness medicate Holberg's morning sickness. But here's the thing. Some ladies think they can. I've watched a lot of TV shows and a lot of like those, you know, those old Sally Jesse's and Donahues and things like that where she tried to over sex the guy that was a little bit effeminate and was surprised he still liked men. She tried to just blow it out of him. That's a great scam, by the way.
Brady
Is that what it takes?
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's a great. Just start saying, I think I like dudes. You gotta try to blow this out of me and just fool her for a year or two. She goes, no, I'm still interested in butts. Dudes, butts. Oh, my God. I've gotta try harder. I know. I hate blaming you, but I think it's true. I think you have to try harder. You're the only woman I find attractive. Oh, my God. God, it's. It's working. It's. It's. Ah, no, it's not working. We got to do it again. But poor Ken. So, Ken, if, you know, you're driving around out there listening, because he evidently is a big fan. You got to have the Titus sea. And you're in a fight with your wife, just know that you have a home here. I mean, don't get too close. I mean, I want to catch it, but. And don't use my glass. Glass. And guess. Don't touch my stuff. But now you can live your true self. You are kind of a son of a. That is kind of mean. Break out the poop wiener for your wife.
Brett
You know, tough news.
John Holmberg
That's tough news. The gynecologist tells you you got hepatitis. Now, maybe. Hold on a second. Oh, he did confess. I was gonna say maybe she picked it up some other way, but he did say, I've been doing. I'm on the download. Dirty, sly homosexual behaviors for the last 16 years of our marriage. You knew there's signs. And, you know, it's a good time for ladies to assess the situation. Look at your husband and go, is he gay? And then answer a few questions. I mean, look, there's times when it's probably. I don't. I asked. I asked my gay neighbors. I'm like, I don't give off any gay vibes at all. Both of them are like, no. I'm like, really? I'm like, not a little. Like, because it was almost offensive. Like, none. And I'm like, would I make it in the gay community? And, like, people would want to bang you, but you're not. Like, really? Like, you're not what we want. I'm like, no kidding. Like, nothing about you is. Is game. Like, I'm afraid of snakes. Like, yeah. A lot of guys are like, okay. Like, I have fears that are kind of girlish. I'm not handy at all. My. Like, yeah. Nothing about it. Ken had a few. I'd like to have Ken call us and talk to us. Because I guarantee you, I think the call would start with. All right, first things first. Hello?
Brett
Yeah, Ken, put the top up on the Miata. We can't hear you.
John Holmberg
You can't he's poor and gay. He still has a Miata. The top doesn't go up. It's a 90. I got a 92 Miata. That's terrifying.
Brady
Turn down the Portishead.
John Holmberg
And I can't play Portishead any. Is it still on? Hey, guys. My bitch wife emailed you this morning. And I don't know what that whore's thinking. I'm all mad. She says you're gay, Ken. This is my favorite part. This makes my jaw unhinged like a snake. Leave it to the other girls. I just have one thing to say to you guys. Ken, you have to take that out of your mouth. We can't hear you like.
Brady
Ken told us she emailed the station.
John Holmberg
I can't believe. Sorry. As a rogue penis went by, I had to blow that. I don't know what she's talking about, you guys. I gave her the best years of her life. Sorry. I was at a bus stop for a second. I had to get some work done. Anyway, I was mostly loyal to her. I never had sex with another woman, so she.
Brett
Sorry.
John Holmberg
The bus driver gave me the eye. Anyway, I don't know how she got hep C, but it's not from me. I was a. I'm all man Brady. That's what you need to know. All men. Sorry, Homeless guy. Anyway, what a bitch. Calls me the homo. F word. N word. Hold on a second. Moon's over Miami, please. I'm at the Denny.
Brett
It sounds delicious, Ken.
John Holmberg
Oh, it's delicious, all right. You know, I cancel. My moon's over the Miami. I'm full. It's been a long morning and we're gonna hold my wife now. She never noticed, Brett. The whole time we were together, I made her face away. It's so gross to see those boobies bouncing around uncontrollably. Where's the hair? I used to always put a fur coat on her so I could pretend she was a like Brady. Oh, boy. Hey, Brady. Close your eyes through the phone. I'm a pro.
Brett
Wow.
John Holmberg
Sorry. I got married to have a beer. So what are you supposed to do about that? How dare you email my favorite station? Well, thanks for calling, Ken. I just drove by a soccer practice. I'm sorry. They're all.
Brett
Rising. Everyone's rising.
John Holmberg
The phoenix rising. Watch this. Like a seal blowing horn. She should have known I could get her whole foot in my mouth. I mean, please. The signs were there.
Brett
You going to the waist? Spanish open.
John Holmberg
Am I ever. I gotta find a new fella and maybe a new wife. But I've got hepatitis C, so wrap me up. Goodbye. Ken. That's enough. The porter's head too. Anyway, thanks for the email, lady, but we did not do that. Ken did it a lot.
Brady
Gulp.
John Holmberg
I wonder if Ken. Now I want to know more. I want to just sit with a. Do they go to couples there? Do they try to save this? Doesn't sound like it, but you're kind of now two hepatitis C people, so maybe my advice, you just accept that you married a guy who's got this. It's out in the open now. You got the hepatitis C, he's got it. You can't catch it twice.
Brett
What if Ken's like one of those dudes and Brett's video, The guy's in the back of the pickup truck in the mid afternoon in the hotel, mid afternoon fisting. Yeah, that.
John Holmberg
Maybe Ken's one of them. Let me ask you this anonymous mean lady with hepatitis C. Now, before the gynecologist, were you happy? Fair question.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Now you can keep all that happiness if you just accept that Ken's got to take a. Take a pipe every once in a while. And he's probably going to pull back a little bit now because I'm guessing that he was using your gynecologist visits to see if he had any sex disease. Guys do that, by the way. We don't know. I had a friend do that all the time, but actually used to work here. I wait for the girl I'm dating to have a gynecology visit. I don't ever take STD tests. I think that's dangerous.
Brady
Michael wants to know any chance at Kenza de High air traffic controller?
John Holmberg
Oh, I was up in the tower, but I wasn't working. I couldn't see the screens from my perspective. You know what I'm saying? So if you were happy to know everybody's got hep C now Ken's out in the open, you were happy before the gynecologist. You find out that your whole life's been alive. Maybe you just erase all that and you stay with Ken and swap H or hep C back and forth while he goes out and hands it to the world. Nothing. I don't know, it just seems like all the deceit is going to be hard to get over. However, were you happy before and now that you know Ken's true self, maybe you could show a little grace to Ken and say, you know, he's been living a lie with you for the last 16 years.
Brady
Also, the worst part is how many very well dressed Black men listening to.
John Holmberg
Portis Said, well, we don't know if he's going. Well, he's calling him the N word. I think she might just be me. Okay.
Brady
I was going to say, because Ken's in for it today with his coworkers, workers.
John Holmberg
My first assumption was also that, yeah, that's what I thought.
Brett
I don't know. I'm picturing Ken to be like Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds right now.
John Holmberg
That might. My immediate bigotry may be kicking in, saying, I don't think we're huge in the African American homosexual community, so I think maybe he's just a white guy and she's just throwing all the slurs at him right now because she's mad.
Brady
But the N word, I don't.
John Holmberg
I don't get it either. Maybe she likes rap. I don't know. But she's. She's bombing him with bad words in our emails. I can't imagine what he's heard.
Brady
Oh, man.
John Holmberg
Probably every. Everything in the book. So maybe you just.
Brett
She wanted kids.
John Holmberg
Well, if she wanted kids and he didn't, that's on her. Yeah, you can't blame people when you're with somebody that says, I don't want kids, and then 20 years later you're like, you son of a. Nope. You had a chance. You. You still stuck around. That's it. I. I've always thought. I hate.
Brett
That's why I was saying I don't know if she's always been, you know, that could have been just.
John Holmberg
Well, no, now she's looked over. Now she's looking at everything. Everything's got a spotlight on him. So now she's like, oh, that's why he didn't want kids. He only like butt babies and stuff like that. Yeah, I don't. You know, I won't go so far as to say that then. And if she's blaming him for no kids, that's on her. She should have left. Because if your whole goal was to try to change his mind, how's that different than what he was doing? Yep. Any woman that says, he wouldn't give me kids, he didn't want them. Oh, why did you stay? Cuz I thought eventually change his mind. Well, then he thought the same of you. Like, you may have wanted kids and he thought, I don't. So eventually you'll come. Come around to my way of thinking. How come it's wrong when he does it and not when you do it?
Brett
Don't settle on either side, either situation.
John Holmberg
You want kids? Go Find somebody that wants, wants kids. If you don't want kids, don't have kids because someone you want or someone you're with wants them.
Brett
And don't give them kids because you're like, you know what? She wants to have a kid.
John Holmberg
Guy said yesterday and what would Brady do? You told thirteen hundred dollar guy not to tell us he's going to lose a friend and now you're telling hep C chick to stay. Difference is $1300 stolen is not contagious. And it isn't going to happen every time. This is different. Now they've got hep C. I mean if I found out, you know, got the aids, I'm going to stick with somebody who's got aids. So we don't have to worry about that. You know, you got the hep C. Why farm it out? You're going to be. You got to tell everybody that. It just eliminates all those problems. Like the $1300 thief guy doesn't have to tell everybody he's friends with forever. I stole $1,300 from a friend once. You have to tell all your partners in the future that you've got hepatitis. You keep that thirteen hundred dollar thing secret forever. Can't keep hepatitis secret forever. Ken tried. Trust me. It didn't work. And it poured his head and it poured his head in forever.
Brady
Did you guys play that too?
John Holmberg
No. Probably. And I just blanked it out. I probably wasn't there when that was going on. In fact, I probably didn't know because you automatically get a BJ with every time it plays. So you don't even recognize when it's on. But thanks for the email, lady. That was again opening the doors. That happened before with this song. I. I don't even remember the first time I heard it. This. This is Florida said this time.
Brady
You've heard this song.
John Holmberg
Really?
Brett
I think so.
John Holmberg
Man.
Brady
This song was huge in that community.
John Holmberg
It was. And they're all high as a kite.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
The room smelled a little bit like bleach and feces and everybody seemed fine with like lava lamps and clothes. Yeah. I wandered into a bar in Scottsdale.
Brady
This was big for that.
John Holmberg
I remember this name.
Brady
Lounge music.
John Holmberg
Yeah. It was cat eye. Oh yeah. Remember cat eye. And this was on. And I'm like, I thought this was kind of a cool kids bar. And this is on. And there was a lot of dudes in fest. Just a lot of Ken probably was there. Then they wouldn't let me in cuz I had tennis shoes on.
Brady
Really?
John Holmberg
Yeah. You can't come with. Oh, and also had a hat with a logo. No hats with logos, no tennis shoes. I'm like, is it a gang thing? The guy goes, no. What is it? It was a fashion thing. Ah. Ken was early, but that wasn't a notorious gay bar. It's like an U. Tables and stuff. Yeah, but this was on in there and things got weird. Like, this was the. The siren to the anal corn.
Brett
Like, cat.
John Holmberg
Ey.
Brett
They spent some time in this cat eye corn.
John Holmberg
It. It changed night to night. It was. I was there twice. One time it was just a bunch of bros, and then the next time, it was this. I remember I asked who was I with?
Brady
They played industrial music one night they played. Played this another night.
John Holmberg
I was with a friend of mine named Chris. And he goes, we were here last week. This was cool. It's weird tonight. And I said, who the hell is. And he told me. And then I looked into Portisan because honestly, I thought I liked this.
Brett
Is that the one? It's awful. Like Stetson in that area in old town Scottsdale. Is that Canada?
John Holmberg
Yeah, it used to be over. Yeah.
Brett
Okay. Yeah.
Brady
Then I think they moved it down by, like, where babes was and stuff like that.
John Holmberg
Oh, did they? I don't know. Anyway, and if Brett's right and the guy. And she is appropriately slurring him for his race, he wasn't golfing. Come on. Brady would have known him. He was caddying. Who'd have been the one? Maybe he was like, banger vancing around.
Brett
Wait a minute.
John Holmberg
You know Kenny's the guy. You know, the black guy that golfs if he's regularly on a. You know, I've got another foursome today. Maybe even. Didn't say he was golfing just as soon. Hi. I gotta leave, Andrea. I've got another foursome today. Have fun golfing. What? I just told her I had a. What are you so surprised for? He's telling you every Saturday how to foursome at noon. I thought it was golf. Why would I golf?
Brett
And there's always short. One guy was always a threesome, and.
John Holmberg
Then she always had that his friend when they'd go to dinner. You must be great at golf, Ken. Why's that? Because your friend that you golf with always calls you Tiger. I'll be right back, Tiger. He's the best golfer ever, and I'm blind to what's really happening in my life. Can I call you Tiger? I'd prefer if you did it. I leave that just up to the guys in my foursomes. I get it. It's a golf thing. Yes. That's it. That's it. She's so stupid. Just keep washing those dishes, doll. And then I also noticed that Ken had a celiac disease or something. But instead of like, dairy or food, it seemed like every time he had sex with me, he threw up. And it was such a stomach disorder. Oh, God. I've got a grin and bear. I'm done.
Brett
Still walks out every day with the golf bag on his shoulder.
John Holmberg
He never had the golf. Never had a golf bag. Where do you keep your clubs? Well, I rent in my pants. You're so funny. He never went. He never told her golf. She missed. She misunderstood. Foursome the whole time.
Brett
Your friend with a longer shaft is on the line.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. He's got such a huge shaft. And he does balls. Go for. He sounds like he's really good at it. He is. I think he golf. He never says the word golf, though. And he doesn't have any clubs. Why do you think I golf all the time anyway? It's noon. I'm gonna be late for my foursome. They let you wear jock straps on the outside at the foursome? Not for long they don't. Don't worry about it. I'll take it off when I get there. Bye, Cat. I love you. Bye, you people in your lives.
Brett
That's a doozy.
John Holmberg
That's a doozy. All right. That is a doozy. Thanks for sharing. Once again, we really appreciate your time, but my Christmas, maybe. Ken is also Asian.
Brett
Oh, yeah?
John Holmberg
Does he be good at golf?
Brett
Like to golf? Yeah, a popular sport.
John Holmberg
This guy says, I was a guard at the supermax for a long time. It wouldn't surprise me if Ken was black. Almost all the guy on guy sex acts were black dudes railing each other, so. Well, in fairness.
Brady
See, I called it.
John Holmberg
There's a. I suppose if you want to. If that's your March Madness moment of the year. But the. In fairness, there's a disproportionate amount of black guys in jail. So all the sex that is in jail is probably mostly black choices. Yeah. I mean, yeah, you're limited in your options. It's either that or those angry Mexicans. And if you're going to do it, go for it, I say. Anyway, thanks, Anonymous lady who I don't know. And Ken. Ken, if I'm you, you know, keep it together. Thanks for listening. You don't fit the demo at all, but I really appreciate. We'll take all kinds. I have no problem with what's going on in your world, Just try to keep it, you know, don't spread the hepi any further. Poor Ken. 16 years. Why would you do that? Live 16 years of your life being gay but not wanting to be gay? That's how traumatic that actually nowadays. Well, I know back in the 60s.
Brady
And 50s, like Rock Hudson, but again, stuff.
John Holmberg
I went to that 1 in 10 thing and it kind of opened my eyes to the idea why people don't tell. And it's usually their family, like they're. They're worried that their parents will not accept. There's a lot of times religion's involved. A lot of the times there's. There's a factor of my mom and dad won't love me anymore. But they just can't help themselves, you know, so they play, pretend their life is normal and they go off on the side. So if you just sit and think 16, it's eventually gotta happen, right? How many people have done it till they're dead? Like on their deathbeds, they're like, whew. Got away with it the whole time. I can't imagine that it doesn't eventually just reveal itself. But yeah, that 1 in 10 thing was like crazy. You're like, I think same way as you was. Like nowadays it's almost cooler.
Brady
I mean, you got Lil Nas X out there doing his thing.
John Holmberg
Amazing. But there's a large segment of the black population, they're the ones who kind of invented the phrase down low that were doing it and it was, you know, it's just frowned upon. Like their friends would. They. They were worried their friends would leave them, you know, get their ass kicked by their buddies that, you know, they, you know, so they just kept it quiet. They're like, I guess that makes sense. But for 16 years, I don't know what Ken's. Ken, email us. We're fine with you. I don't care what color you are. But why is she calling you an N wor? Hey, what are you gonna do? Just makes me realize that my boring, mundane. Ride my bike, do nothing, Watch OJ Documentaries. Life ain't so bad.
Brett
Buzzer Network.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Love the buzzer. Love that match game. Love tons of it. Watching blockbusters and it all seems so easy. And then I worry about the things I see here where it's this. There's a hacker that was. Was on last night on a news thing I was watching, and he just. He gave up how easy it is to tap into your phone. My phone, I think, has been hacked again. I'm getting a ton of emails saying I owe somebody money for that. I haven't paid my icloud bill. And I'm like, my icloud bill? Isn't that part of the Apple thing? If you don't pay it, we lock out your icloud send money here. And I'm like, no. And then you have 30 minutes and your phone's going to close up. And then my phone shuts. Shuts down. Have you gotten those or just as your phone is inoperable for one hour, that's starting to happen quite a bit. I just. As you are not allowed to use your phone for one hour and my phone won't work for an hour.
Brady
What porn sites are you going to? I mean, just going to basics like.
John Holmberg
Ken, ain't nothing gonna stop. I got an infection too. It just happens to be. My phone has hep C and I gave it to it. I put my hep C is in that phone because of me and me only. I do the basic basics and still warns me. But now I'm getting all these weird mornings. So then I'm watching this thing about this hacker last night. He's like, yeah, you can sit and worry about what websites you go to. He goes, I can steal your stuff standing next to you. He says nothing, Absolutely. I don't need your passwords. Your passwords do nothing. He goes, all I need is you close to me and I can make it happen. I'm like, that's not good at all. And you're telling people that that's it.
Brett
That is so in the movies.
John Holmberg
Yeah. No, he basically said it. He goes, I don't even need you like in the same room. I just need you near buy if you ever got close to me, I can have it. He has a thing in his wallet that can grab all the information, your phone, store it, and then he can put it in something later.
Brady
That rfi.
John Holmberg
Yeah, whatever it is. And that's the, that's, that's the baby stuff. The things he's doing with just like grabbing your email through your email, he can get into your computer. It doesn't matter who you are, what your passwords are or anything. And just do it. And he's like, hackers are 10 steps ahead of the people trying to stop it. Great. So I don't really care about any of that. So we're all going to lose all our money from hacking. And so far, so long as my bank accounts stay the same and my credit card's not getting used like crazy, I'll Stick through it. If you're just in there to watch me beat off, have at it. I don't know. There's a lot of better options out there than you hacking into my phone and watching me. You're the one getting punished on that deal. No one, no one wants to see this thing. Getting it.
Brady
Getting it all with the Ken face.
John Holmberg
Oh, man. Once. Once I go full Ken. Oh, the burn. That's the hep C. You can really taste it right now. Oh, God. Oh, my God. Stir it. Put some sugar in it. It's good. It's hep C, not hi C. Thirsty kids. Oh. Mmm. It's filled with hepatitis C. That's what the astronauts eat. Yeah. If you're. If you're hacking into my phone to get into the. The camera and see what's what, have at it. All you gotta do is text me and go, hey, I'm gonna steal your bank account information. Let's just send me a few dick shots and you in the throes of passion and, like, prove it. And then move my bank account a little bit. And he moves it. I'm like, all right, here you go. There's a whole bunch of me doing that.
Brett
What do you need?
John Holmberg
How much do you need? Do you want close ups? Do you want, like, do you want me to pinky somebod out? What do you want me to do? I have no issues with that. So if you're not moving my bank accounts around, I don't care what you're doing with my phone. You're, you know, buying houses on my Social Security. That's going to come back. I'll figure that out. Just don't hit my immediacy. And I've had my identity stolen several times. It is kind of a pain in the ass. But so far so good that they haven't gotten any money. They've started fake businesses. That's the only thing I've had happen. I got two or three fake businesses. Businesses floating around Social Security numbers that are mine. And shows up on my taxes. Every year, I gotta write a letter. Every year. These aren't my businesses. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to tell you that. Every year, irs. And every year it comes out, still happens. Every year I get it. Every year I get paperwork, tax information on my painting company and my party supply house. And I'm like, for seven years I've told you, and this dude's making money.
Brady
I was gonna say, are you profitable?
John Holmberg
Well, the painting company has been fairly consistent I think it's. I think it's a front. I actually went on the party planning thing. He's changed the name of it since, but I went to his website. How hard is it for the IRS to go get him? Go. Stop this. Like, he's got a website. He's. He's. He's planning weddings. This is easy.
Brady
Oh, we should hire him to plan you fest for us.
John Holmberg
When, When I get. If I get my paperwork this year, I'll. I'll bring the name in and we'll hire him to do a job and then I'll just beat him into the earth because. Stop it. He's in Wyoming or Kansas or something. He's moved around. The painting company's in Wyoming too. It's easy. It's a pain in the ass at tax time. I have to write a couple letters. That's it. So if you're hacking my. This hacker on there, if you're hacking my phone and you're shutting me out for an hour and I come back and all my bank numbers are the same. I'm fine. Don't steal my money if you want to watch me beat off, okay? You're the only one on the planet that wants to see that.
Brett
You've got eight opportunities a day.
John Holmberg
You've got options. I mean, I'll open the blinds. Just come on. What's wrong with you? The weirdest thing about you isn't that you want to steal money. Like, I'm in your phone, Okay? I can see what you're doing. Do you want a close up of that? I like. Okay.
Brady
I got a pro, by the way. Yeah, pro. Here.
John Holmberg
I'll do weird stuff. Better cameras.
Brett
I want to be able to speak to you.
John Holmberg
Yeah, talk to me while I was gone. I'll put an earpiece in. Stop doing that with your thumb. Why? I like it. Don't put. Oh, God. Don't. Don't sniff it. Hey, look, you're the one eavesdropping. You get what you get. You don't go to the movies and tell them not to do the stuff that's on the screen. That's essentially what you're doing here. This is a reality show that you broke into. It doesn't bother me. But this dude, I mean, and I think I've just resigned myself to the fact that that's just what it is. I can sit back and go, I've got passwords that are really difficult. And it's like, okay, the dude last night on that thing, I don't need passwords. That's silly, because everybody's like, most people have it. It's easy. And if you. If you have an easy password, basic hackers can get you. You don't need that with the.
Brady
If your password is password, you haven't changed it, right?
John Holmberg
If you're, you know, your daughter's name, birthday, and an exclamation point, you're gonna get found out. You gotta have X's and like foreign words and all that crazy crap, but, you know, it doesn't matter. Like this dude, like, last night, he proved it. He said while the guy was. He was BBC again while he's sitting there interviewing the hacker, he goes. He goes, well, what could you do to me? And he goes, you want me to do it right now? And he goes, yeah. And he goes, all right. He put his hand in his. His hoodie, he reached out and he goes, I've got all your information. He's like, what? And he goes, it just buzzed in my hand. I got all your information. He's like, what do you have? And he goes, like, just a machine that's. That I carry around. It's like a little. It's about size of a cell phone. It just hits. Sucks out everything of the nearest phone. I got everything you need. And then he put it in a computer and showed him, you bank here. This is your history, these are your texts. And like, I got you. And I'm like, oh, my God, that's.
Brady
Is there any protection against it?
John Holmberg
Did he say, or. You have to wrap your phone in that foily stuff to keep it? Yeah, it helps.
Brett
Just like the wallets for credit cards.
John Holmberg
Yeah, he has to do work with that. But the other thing he's got, he's. He's in the hackers convention in Vegas. Yeah, they have one where they. They sell their latest things. It's amazing. This dude was. The dude literally had built a little machine that if you want, I can aim it at you and I'll. If you've got anything open, I get it. Like, if you have anything that's happening on your phone right now that you're just not. Like, if your phone is currently, you know, past the password, the face ID thing, he's in. And he did do that. He goes, open your phone. He goes, okay. So he opened it and he put it back. And the guy goes, I got everything. He's like, what? He goes, I got everything. Once you face ID open that, I got everything. He's like, really? He goes, yep. And he goes, how far do you have to be away. And he goes 10, 15ft. He said, there can be a wall between us, but it can't be metal. Like, holy Christ. And he wasn't like blurred out creepy. So we've lost that battle. My hope is that hackers, all they want to do is watch me tug it. Because that's funny to me. I've seen myself do that. I do not make good faces. Like Sam Kinison said years ago, you see yourself having sex, you think you look good until you watch it and playback and you realize that if it was at a zoo, they'd put you down because those polar bears are sick. Something's wrong with you. Make faces. Yeah, I'll put a video out for you that way. This one says, have you ever thought of submitting a video of yourself and your own depravity to Brett? Make it anonymous and see if anyone can recognize you. If Brett recognizes me by penis, there's.
Brady
Bigger problems than that.
John Holmberg
Huge issues. Or you get an anonymous video of a guy jerking off and you immediately come to me. Is this you? No. What are you like the risk you're taking by even asking me, like, why are you? Who is that? I thought it was you. Why? I don't know. I thought you'd do that. I would never send you a jerk off video. What is going on in your world that you're getting these hackers? Sure, sure can. I believe Brett's can talk. Anyway, just be careful out there. What do you got on the big board of musical treats over there?
Brady
Wake up Psalm brought to you by Action Ride Shop. And we talked about it yesterday. But. But soft opening happening today out at the brand new location out there on Power and McDowell. Grand opening is February 22nd. I think we're both going to be out there hanging out, but you can jump in and see what they got to offer over there at Action Ride Shop Part two. But the, the OG is still there on Gilbert Road in Southern. Get all your ski, snowboards, bike stuff right there at the original one. I believe number two is just bike. They're not going to do the. The snow stuff, so you have to go to the original location. So actionrideshop.com they're going to take care of you.
John Holmberg
Luke from ICON just text and said just threaten to send pictures of you doing that if they touch your bank account. Use it as a weapon. I'm like, okay, so you want one, Luke? I'll send one to Luke. I think Luke from ICON just asked me for a jerk off. I'll do it. What'd you shoot today, Ken? Another 69. Gosh, you're good at golf. What on the list?
Brady
Pennywise, Manson Parkway Drive. Anthrax Kill switch. Engage. Jerry Catchrell Down Danzig. Long way back from hell for Ken. I mean, that's kind of probably.
John Holmberg
Is it? I think so. It's extreme. You're gonna know. Look what he's dealing with.
Brady
He gave the hep C. He's being called the homo F word with the N word.
John Holmberg
Word.
Brady
That's a long way back from hell.
John Holmberg
That's a pretty strong coupling of words. Well, that's a lot of hate in two words. In fairness, she hates him. Yeah, so it's like a crime of passion. She's allowed to use those words because she absolutely hates that guy. So the homo F word. N word combo.
Brady
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
Seems justified here. Justifiable homicide. Verbal homicide. I think that's what that is. Whatever you want to throw up there, let's do that. You want to do a long way back from hell by dancing?
Brady
Ken needs it.
John Holmberg
Yeah, he does. He's listening. Probably burning when he pees. If you're in the bathroom right now trying to punch one of those coffee colored urines out, why, he's five minutes from teeing off. He sure is early. Tea time. Are you golfing? What? Why do you always question that? I've gotta go. Bye, bitch. He's so fun, Ken. All right, let's do a little dancing thing. It's a long road back from hell there, Ken. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. Still streaming. Morning sickness online@98kupd.com late. My bad. I'll never run a show on time for as long as I'm alive. It's never gonna happen. Not even close. Oops, I screwed someone. It's time for Brady to give us a news only Brady knows before he does that. Still talking about Ken and his hepatitis C. We're not sure what race Ken is. I'm assuming white. And he's just got a variation. Angry hep C filled ex wife to be. And that's why she called him the homo F word. N word in the email that she sent us. But if he does like golf and she is going after him with racial slurs because that's his race. Our funniest listener, Scott Haynes, said, I can think of one person in the Valley that hates Ken more than his soon to be ex wife, and that would be the cart girl. Gay and black. Black. She's not getting a tip. Ah, sorry, Ken. That's hilarious. And you Got bigger fish to fry right now. You don't have to worry about that being offensive. Ew. Fish. That's. Maybe that's why he's leaving. Why would I fry a fish? I'm leaving one. Ew. Gross. Gross. There's no way he was a golfer. You have to be on time for your tea times. All right, Scott, that's enough. Anyway, it's time now for Brady to give you all the news that only Brady knows. We call this the Brady Report. Brady reported.
Brett
Good Tuesday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello, world. Hi, Happy national. Thank a mailman today.
John Holmberg
Thank you, mailman man.
Brady
I never seen.
Dick Toledo
Not yours, just any.
John Holmberg
Any of you see one random? That one I saw crawling out of the water. Sodomy Gulch with that dude in pink terry cloth shorts and a tank top in August at 5 in the afternoon. It was 108 degrees and they had just had. Maybe that was Ken.
Brett
Couple of basis fun facts. If you have three quarters, four dimes, and four pennies, you have a dollar nineteen. But you can't make exact change for a dollar. And that's the maximum amount of change you can have without being able to make change for a dollar.
John Holmberg
Okay, I remember that. Somebody wants.
Dick Toledo
I don't even remember it.
John Holmberg
Somebody wants to make change for a dollar that bad? I'll just. You can have the dollar. Yeah. If someone asks me, all right, I gave you. I gave you change. You give me a dollar back. I'm like, you don't give me that change. I'll just give you a dollar. I don't need to exchange dollar for dollar in this situation. You got a buck 19. Okay, you can have that. Here's another dollar. Eliminate change. I'm with Elon Musk on this one all the way around. The penny's just the beginning. There's no reason for change at all.
Brett
Shakespeare became rich by hoarding grain and then selling it for ridiculous prices during a famine. Then he used that money to run a money lending business. Business. And he was once charged with tax evasion.
John Holmberg
Shakespeare was gouging people.
Brett
Yep.
John Holmberg
We're just now finding this out.
Brett
Side deals, man. In between plays.
John Holmberg
Ban those books.
Brett
The reason we capitalize the letter I because writers in the 13th and 14th centuries thought the lowercase I looked too weak for what it represented me.
John Holmberg
It does.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
It's a powerful capital letter and a very weak baby letter. What are the baby letters called? Capital and lowercase. Lowercase. I just called them baby. I forgot.
Brett
Minor case.
John Holmberg
Minor case. Ooh. All right. Thanks, Drake.
Brett
Happy 21st birthday to Facebook.
John Holmberg
Facebook is 21. Yeah, no kidding. 2004. Holy cow. That's right.
Brady
Before that it was MySpace.
John Holmberg
And just barely before, like a year, MySpace was local band heaven. And was it the Harvard Facebook that was invented? The one that we didn't know about for another year or so? Because Facebook didn't come out in 04 for all of us. It was like 05 06. Right.
Brett
It debuted them, you know, I mean today in 2004, it says. The only thing it says here is Napster founder Sean Parker famously got Zuckerberg to drop the word the a year later. Yeah, it was Facebook.
John Holmberg
It was just a local campus up there in Harvard.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, it's just a local.
John Holmberg
Where he was back passion on chicks and grading them.
Brett
Then the Van Winkle or Vaughn, I think that's her name.
Dick Toledo
Winklevoss.
Brett
Winklevoss, that's right.
John Holmberg
Van Winkle woke up and said, turn it off.
Brady
They wound up getting paid though, didn't they? Didn't they make a little bit of money?
John Holmberg
That Social Network is still a good movie. It's so well written. And the. And the Winklevoss twins played by Army Hammer by himself.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Before we knew he was a cat cannibal. The things we know nowadays. Nobody ever used to say that about, you know, back when the thing they used to say in the olden days said, oh, that was. That Rock Hudson. He was great. That was before we knew he was homosexual. Now we actually throw the word around. Well, that was Armie Hammer. He can't get job anymore because he's a cannibal. People don't. We don't bat an eye. He's not really a cannibal, but he was accused of it anyway. Let's go get some drinks. We just move on with our lives with a cannibal floating around amongst us.
Brett
Wallet Hub did the rundown of the top cities for NFL Fans. The top 10 this year. What was interesting is the Eagles came in at 22nd.
John Holmberg
Really?
Brett
According to WalletHub, the top NFL cities. Pittsburgh, Dallas.
John Holmberg
Number one. Yep, that's right.
Brett
Green Bay, Boston, Kansas City, San Francisco, New York, Newark, Orleans, Los Angeles, Minneapolis.
John Holmberg
And this is just general atmosphere of a football town of.
Brett
For NFL. But it changes a little bit on the college side.
John Holmberg
Nobody cares about that. It's just a bunch of drunken kids.
Dick Toledo
Changes how the.
Brett
The biggest cities are the best cities for NFL or for college football.
John Holmberg
Well, if you've got a great NFL.
Brett
Alabama was number one.
John Holmberg
Places without NFL team number five. Yeah, it's places without Happy Valley without pro football teams. In them.
Dick Toledo
Right.
John Holmberg
And the whole city lives for just that one college thing. A sad, desperate city is Happy Valley.
Dick Toledo
On the west side of Pennsylvania, also.
John Holmberg
Kind of in the middle. Oh, it's west of Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, and kind of between Philly and Pittsburgh.
Dick Toledo
Why do they call it Beaver stadium?
John Holmberg
Do you know Beavers?
Dick Toledo
Okay.
John Holmberg
Built by. Built by Beavers.
Brady
Nice beaver.
Dick Toledo
Nice beaver.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I don't know. Do they call it. Is it Beaver Stadium?
Dick Toledo
Penn State.
John Holmberg
I just knew it was Happy Valley. Beaver problem. That's Ken. He's got a beaver problem at his house. Wow.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, he does.
John Holmberg
His beaver's throwing up and smells funny. Yuck. Bye.
Brett
Bet some parents think we coddle kids too much. They're becoming too soft. And in the Netherlands, they're trying to correct this by making playgrounds less safe. Sort of.
John Holmberg
Finally, new policy. Weed out the pussies.
Brett
Yeah, they're not talking about the rusted slides and stuff like that, but metal monkey dome.
John Holmberg
Well, the. Here in Arizona, the metal parks were. We didn't. They didn't try to save our asses. Metal slides, metal handles. Everything was just like it was back east. But they just built it en masse and said stuff it in the desert. Kids were third degree burnt sometimes. Kid went to play in the monkey bars and then he'd wake up three days later in the hospital. No legs because the infection got so bad.
Dick Toledo
They didn't perfect plastic during your guys's time.
John Holmberg
They tried, but it was just, it was just as hot. They didn't have good even with the plastic. They still have to.
Brett
Now they dome, you know, in the neighborhoods.
Dick Toledo
Put the big, they put the shade sale.
John Holmberg
I knew we were in trouble when those soft ass little kids had to have bouncy foam to walk on. They couldn't just walk on regular. They had to have that. It's better for their backs.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, that service is better than an NFL field.
John Holmberg
Those bouncy things, it might as well be playing on a mattress.
Brett
The new policy proposal would increase kids access to outdoor play areas. To climb, play with water and fire, sword fight with sticks.
John Holmberg
Yes.
Brett
Build with hammers, rope or knives.
John Holmberg
I love it.
Dick Toledo
Build with hammers.
John Holmberg
It's called walk it off. Park. You'll be all right.
Brett
It's just, it's not just about making the spaces riskier. It's making them less boring. They say more kids are sitting inside being less active because playing on their devices is more exciting than finding adventure outside.
John Holmberg
You got to give them stuff to hurt each other with. Risk, reward is what they're saying.
Brett
Yep.
John Holmberg
And you know, they should do that. They should have Walk it off parks. You have the parks for your pussy kids with the foamy ground and the. All the songs.
Brett
They call them soft spaces.
John Holmberg
What you need is right next to that Walk it Off park with the metal monkey bars. A couple of giant. Like a whole bucket of sticks to hit each other with rocks.
Dick Toledo
Little tent with some burn salve in it.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Like somebody takes palm fronds and builds like a hut and they have.
Brady
Oh, that was Gilligan's Island.
John Holmberg
We used to take palm fronds and build huts. What so dangerous. Scorpions, rats. Not to mention the dried up hokies that would blow through your shoes. And we'd make forts and we'd chuck rocks at each other and see who had the best fort. And sometimes a rock would bust right through your palm fronts and knock it down. Good one, Mike.
Dick Toledo
How big of rocks? Baseball.
John Holmberg
Burkhart got a little Burkhardt got a little greedy. Once we had an agreement that it was no bigger than like the okay symbol in your fingers.
Dick Toledo
Needed helmets.
John Holmberg
Which is now white power. It used to not be. It used to be just the size of the rock. Can't be bigger than this.
Dick Toledo
I thought it was. If it was upside down.
John Holmberg
I don't know what it is. I don't. Don't do it anymore. But Mike hit me with one. My palm fronds blew up. That whole tent went down like a hurricane. And I clunk. Ah. Hitting the neck.
Dick Toledo
Burkhart says I won.
John Holmberg
My dad came home and they're just dirty palm fronds all over our front yard. You go home. You get in the house. Dad. We were going to clean it. Get in the house. And he picked me up by my pants from behind. I'll never. I was pretty. He's a strong man. Because I was like 12 and he picked me up by my pants and walked me into the house in front of you friends. Oh, they were getting on their red lines trying to get home. It happened fast.
Brady
Did your sister's boyfriend clean it up?
John Holmberg
Eventually he and his family came by and got. We can get this done, Mr. Holmberg. Or should I call you dad? You go back to wherever you live too. And I mean that.
Brett
We did stupid. We used to fight with the pellet guns. The air pellet guns. Three pump limit.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
Was the max.
John Holmberg
Always a kid took advantage of it.
Brett
Always.
Dick Toledo
What?
John Holmberg
And you get hit and no head shot. It was a 10 pump at least, you douche. That's what we need. We need tough kid Parks. And then you Know, helicopter mom parks. I don't want my kid to play over there in the Stick and Rock Park.
Brady
Be Puss Park.
John Holmberg
Yeah. That's CEO Park. And your kid's gonna be like, you know, need a beanbag and a video game at my office. Or I'm the toxic work environment. Meanwhile, well, future belongs to the bully.
Brett
This Chinese man was trying to do a romantic proposal to his girlfriend. He hid the ring in the cake that he made. She chomped it.
John Holmberg
He didn't tell her be careful.
Brett
No, it was a surprise. He wanted her to discover it. But she almost eating the ring.
Dick Toledo
She doesn't chew.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
Oh, she chewed and then got the ring. And you can look in the little picture there. She split the ring also.
John Holmberg
It was cheap. She was going at this muffin. Yeah, she was throwing some teeth on that. You bit through a ring. He knew there was a ring in the muffin, and he let her go. Just go ham on it.
Brett
Supposed to be the surprise.
John Holmberg
I know that's the surprise. But you as the person who put a hard ring inside of a muffin, you should be like, chew that carefully. There could be something in it. I try to be low, Max. She bite. Ringing hat.
Brady
Maybe she's a tweaker and didn't have many teeth. Yeah, I figured he was safe.
John Holmberg
Just gummed it.
Dick Toledo
Look out.
John Holmberg
Why can't Chinese people tweak?
Dick Toledo
They're gonna get stuff done.
Brett
A while back, this dude, Florida.
John Holmberg
The math equation's double. Can't sleep. Must do math.
Brett
This dude from Florida named Jason Vargasco went to a Hyundai dealer dealership to finance a new vehicle. They looked into it. They didn't and denied him. Jason got upset and stole a car from the lot. After noticing the keys were left in the ignition, he got away with it briefly. The authorities didn't have a problem tracking him down. Two reasons. One, the car had that GPS sensor on it. And two, Jason had given his address to the dealership when he was trying to get financing. He admitted to the police that he stole the vehicle because he was denied a car loan. And he said he had no choice because he spent his last $50 on the Uber to the dealership, and he.
John Holmberg
Was trying to buy a car, and he had just spent 50 bucks.
Brett
His last 50 for the month. Yeah.
Dick Toledo
His name was Alex Page.
John Holmberg
Yeah. How's rent going? First of the month. It's paid.
Dick Toledo
We have a new deal.
John Holmberg
Oh, no. We'll get to that in a second. Hold on. That is a depressed dad face. If I've ever. You know what? I blame. You know what I blame? Soft playgrounds. Soft playgrounds.
Dick Toledo
Not wrong.
John Holmberg
We got a new deal. February. You're just counting the days till June.
Brady
No, but the happiness is he's not living with me.
John Holmberg
And then what?
Dick Toledo
And then he's coming.
John Holmberg
He's going to live with. With you again? Yeah. He has to.
Dick Toledo
Yeah.
John Holmberg
He's not in school, is he?
Dick Toledo
No, he is.
John Holmberg
He is. No, he is. That could be the new thing. I don't know.
Brady
We've dropped Tucson community.
Dick Toledo
Hard class.
John Holmberg
He got rid of a class already? Yeah. He's a month in, and he's already dumped out of one.
Dick Toledo
Not even a month in.
John Holmberg
That's true. It's two weeks.
Dick Toledo
It's like it started on the 15th.
John Holmberg
So you have a new rent deal with your son. Yeah. You're. Which is basically. You're going to keep paying it till June, and then you move back in.
Dick Toledo
I'm going to pay all of it. That's all I'm paying.
John Holmberg
Well, that's the whole. We knew that from the beginning you were going to pay the whole time I've been bleed.
Dick Toledo
He's been bleeding me dry.
John Holmberg
Say that again real quick. For people with sperm that they shouldn't inseminate with.
Dick Toledo
My son's been bleeding me dry.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Hear that?
Brady
Call Dr. Lynn at sunrise. Ra.
John Holmberg
It's just not financially feasible to keep him there.
Dick Toledo
No, it's. There's. There's a whole bunch going on, but it's just the motivation and malaise is setting in and all that. So what?
John Holmberg
All that not working.
Dick Toledo
But rather than have this fight for every month, for the next four months, I just told him, look, I'm paying your rent, and that's it.
John Holmberg
Oh, he's got to pay for all the other stuff.
Dick Toledo
He's got to pay for everything else.
Brady
Doesn't his mom live down there, though?
Dick Toledo
Yeah, she broke.
John Holmberg
Oh, it is too funny, Brady. Oh, it's funny. Don't you say that's not funny. You know why it's funny. You know why it's funny? Because it's not happening to us. The only person that could say it's not funny is him. But it's funny. High five. Thank you, Dr. Lynn.
Brady
God's work.
John Holmberg
God work. So hold on. You have to pay. You've agreed already? I'm paying rent through. Through June.
Dick Toledo
Yes.
John Holmberg
Pack your stuff. End of May, you're coming home.
Dick Toledo
Well, that was his plan. To. To come home. He's. Get this. See if you haven't heard this refrain before. I'm gonna work all Summer. Dad, I'm gonna save up money and then when I get ready for school again.
John Holmberg
What about last go Back to issue. Right? I've heard this refrain before. Oh, boy.
Dick Toledo
Oh, and by the way, me and the guys, we're gonna go backpacking through Colorado sometime this summer.
John Holmberg
What? Prediction.
Dick Toledo
He's gonna find Bigfoot.
John Holmberg
Prediction.
Brett
You better save your money for that trip.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Prediction. It's 8, 18, February 4, 2025. Okay, call him a shot. When he moves back in with Toledo in June, he will be in toe. No. Yes. There'll be a young lasso. There'll be a lady that he has to have come with him, cuz nothing we could do. She's Catholic.
Dick Toledo
No, no.
Brady
Bro couldn't afford the condoms.
John Holmberg
He's bringing one home with him. And you're going to have some little hillbilly in a Sundress she wears three days a week. Mr. Page. No, no. I'm hungry. I'm eating for three.
Brett
I broke my butt here.
John Holmberg
I got the ultrasound back today. You gonna be a grandfather. Blessed two times over. There's two in me.
Dick Toledo
And I just think about you just bringing a Tucson baby home.
John Holmberg
Tucson babies? Tucson twins.
Dick Toledo
Twins.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. There's two in there.
Dick Toledo
F you.
John Holmberg
He's bringing that home. That little weird sort of dirty, like she doesn't ever look clean, even after a shower.
Dick Toledo
Oh, it's. It'll be his first crazy experience with Chris.
John Holmberg
He's gonna knock her up and he's.
Dick Toledo
Gonna fall in love.
John Holmberg
She's coming back. And guess what? She's gonna live there longer than him. Write it down. 8, 18, February 4, 2025. Prediction. I'm like Ms. Cleo with this one. I'm calling this. I know for sure. I got this one.
Dick Toledo
Hey, Toledo, Karma's a bitch. Signed everyone at Hooters.
John Holmberg
For not paying bills. Here's the better part. Now that you're paying his rent, he's gonna be free and easy. With a little extra cash.
Brett
It's gonna get worse.
John Holmberg
I don't know if.
Brady
Well, he's gone to Colorado backpacking.
John Holmberg
So he doesn't have to save up $1,200 a month, maybe four. So he's gonna have expendable money. Which means what? Chicks are gonna get drinks off of this guy and somebody's catching the seed.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, you, grandpa.
John Holmberg
I like your ideals.
Dick Toledo
That he's all of a sudden got gumption to go out and earn $400.
John Holmberg
Well, yeah, a good point. He does. He doesn't have any money at all. But now whatever he gets, doesn't go to rent anymore.
Brady
It's not.
John Holmberg
Well, unless he gulps, But I don't think that's gonna happen if he starts gulping for cash. He's gonna come back with Ken's wife.
Dick Toledo
With thriller to sell plasma.
John Holmberg
Then we'll talk. This is always a good story. Oh, Alex and mom can't loan him a couple bucks. She's down there just making it work. Barely.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, she's broke. The company had had a down year.
John Holmberg
Man, he is the Logan Roy of his family. That is pathetic. That is so sad. You're not serious people. Yes. I can't wait for Toledo to be a grandpappy this time next year. Pap. Pap. Toledo is going to bring that baby in every once in a while because nobody can take it to. And it's going to sit in a chair over there and I'd have to have a talk with him. You can't bring that baby in every day.
Dick Toledo
There's a nice villa in Italy that Lisa and I are going to buy.
John Holmberg
Just get out of here. Run for it. Sorry, Brady. I didn't realize that that was going to take.
Brett
That's huge story.
John Holmberg
Huge story. Sucking him dry. Speaking of sucking him dry. So is that little Philly down there in tu.
Dick Toledo
I said bleeding me dry.
John Holmberg
You're gonna be a granddad.
Brett
There's this tiny grocery store that just won a lawsuit trademark battle against Nintendo. Name of the grocery store is super Mario. Yeah, the guy's name is Jose Mario Alfaro. And Nintendo tried to shut him down, but the market's been open for a while. He made the point. Well, in Costa Rica, that's what you call grocery stores. Grocery stores, they're called supers.
Dick Toledo
Well, they're called super in Mexico, too.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Yeah.
Dick Toledo
And it was super.
Brett
Yep. And so they. His lawyer also pointed out that Nintendo's trademark is 44, 45 trademark categories. None of them selling food.
John Holmberg
Wow. I don't think anybody goes like they're just making money off of his. The name I get. Nobody goes to the supermarket thinking that super Mario is actually involved. Yeah, no Luigi.
Brett
We'll get a couple of dudes.
John Holmberg
But they have the carts. They probably have super Mario karts and stuff like that. So they're probably pushing the boundaries a little.
Brett
Two friends were hanging out in Salt Lake City. Ashton, man, 23. He was arrested after he was getting high with his buddy. And his buddy says to him, you know what? I can dodge a bullet. There we go.
John Holmberg
You think so, huh? Here we go.
Brett
Now. Here's where the story. You know so he says. All right, well, according to Ashton, he says we, we pulled out two guns, we emptied them and put the load of the one. And the deal was he could dodge the bullet. As soon as he says I'm pulling the trigger, he could get out of the way. He dodged five of them.
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Brett
But the sixth one hit him in the chest and he's dead.
John Holmberg
You're playing.
Brett
According to Ashton, we did it six times.
John Holmberg
So we did the matrix. Five out of six. That's hall of Fame numbers.
Brett
It is.
John Holmberg
Unfortunately. You're not going to play another game.
Brett
The last leap. Right in the chest.
Dick Toledo
No one to fold them.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. No one to walk away, my friend. People think that Alex should just wait a couple of years until Kirby gets her job at the record store and then they can just smoke weed all day and make kids.
Brett
Oh man.
John Holmberg
Oh my God, what a story. And he's smart enough to bleed you out. He never intended to pay for any of this.
Dick Toledo
That's where I'm at right now and I realize that and I'm. I signed on the lease, so check my own credit. Just paying.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you gotta pay it, otherwise you start taking a hit.
Dick Toledo
Moving him into a studio. So that'll save me at least about 1500 bucks.
John Holmberg
Oh, he has to move again?
Dick Toledo
Oh yeah.
John Holmberg
And he's moving into a smaller place. Did he have a two bedroom?
Dick Toledo
He had a one bed.
John Holmberg
Oh, okay. And now he's living in one room.
Dick Toledo
Well, it's probably to probably today. I'll go down there, move him.
John Holmberg
You're moving today?
Dick Toledo
Because we had to. We had to wait for the unit to be.
John Holmberg
Oh man, that is not how I'd want to spend my Tuesday afternoon down in Tucson. Moving some kid into a worse apartment than he's already in. I can't imagine a Tucson studio. The landlord is actually the rats.
Dick Toledo
I can't remember the history of his building. I can't remember what it used to be, but it used to be some. Basically like a homeless shelter probably. Then they renovated it because they realized they could make money.
John Holmberg
I'm your landlord and he's in some shaky, weird kind of half human costume. I will take either cash or cheese for rent. You want cheese for rent? Yes. Don't ask any more questions. Leave the cheese by the hole in the wall. Okay.
Dick Toledo
I need cheese.
John Holmberg
I need like $200 worth of cheese. Make it the burrata this time. He's fancy. Yeah, he's a landlord. He's an owner. Fancy pants. I like the buffalo mozzarella with the little Tin stuff on top cuts itself.
Dick Toledo
Pickled peppers and everything.
John Holmberg
You're not really a man, are. Come on, Ken. The chief at the door. Don't try to shake my hand. They're false. What's hanging behind you? My tail. That's enough questions.
Dick Toledo
The rat king.
John Holmberg
He's got a human outfit on. He has to stand on his back legs for a while. He tells Alex where to put the rent. You can leave the rent here. Oh, yeah, but never on the porch because the other landlords will get to it first, Right?
Dick Toledo
It's highly competitive.
John Holmberg
It's a highly competitive real estate market here in Tucson. I'm gonna tip over. Will you hold me up, please? It's very difficult now. One thing I hate is that terrible gray air. It's runny and it makes a mess. Don't leave that. That's not payment.
Dick Toledo
You're bougie about that.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. I almost halfway want to go down there with you just to laugh all day. But then I'd realize I'm in Tucson.
Dick Toledo
And you're in downtown Tucson.
John Holmberg
Oh, that's a curse. All right, Brady, go ahead.
Brett
I've got one real quick radio video.
John Holmberg
I just like the little rat guy telling him. Silence. My brain's working overtime on this scenario of your rat landlord. Silence.
Brett
If you're ever in this town in India, this is the super chicken center.
John Holmberg
Hey, that's nice. Yeah, it's next to the super Mario. Yeah.
Brett
You want to pick up some wings or something for the big game?
John Holmberg
Oh, they're on the ground. It's just dead chickens.
Brett
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
Wait a minute. Where's the dirty dining room?
Brett
You see the employees back there?
John Holmberg
Oh. Oh, my God. There's just people with dead bloody chickens everywhere. It is a super chicken center.
Dick Toledo
Barefoot.
John Holmberg
I saw the dirty dining report the other day where a bowl of uncooked chicken was above uncooked beef on a shelf. Not like on it. Like, there was a shelf in between, and the place got stacked, and it was on the news. Now I'm looking at the super chicken center, and there are seven or 800 chickens raw on each other.
Dick Toledo
Commenter says the middle ages wasn't even like this.
John Holmberg
Oh, yes.
Brett
No tables. That's butchered on concrete.
John Holmberg
Silence. Is that his new house? That's where Alex lives. Just above the super Chicken Center. I me what's just chicken center? That's the super one. That's the big one.
Dick Toledo
Say what you want. They're doing some volume.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. There are some. There's some buffalo wings going on or Whatever dump country that is. Oh, my God, my brain has got to turn this off. This cartoon that is running is so funny. I wish I could just project. Hopefully in the future they'll do that. You project a thought or I go, guys, watch this. And you say, my head just runs a film strip because this cartoon is hilarious.
Dick Toledo
Bring this up either. But last night he texted me. He goes, hey, Rat, I think I'm going to transfer to la.
John Holmberg
La? What does that mean, transfer? What?
Dick Toledo
There's a fashion school in LA wants to go to.
John Holmberg
That's money. That costs money.
Brady
Who's paying for it?
Dick Toledo
Yeah, yeah, that's what I said. I'm like, well, I guess you'll be on student loans.
John Holmberg
There's a fashion school.
Dick Toledo
Yeah, in downtown La Fidham Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.
John Holmberg
And you just walk in and you're a member.
Dick Toledo
ASU owns it now. So I'm like, well, first off, you probably have to transfer to asu and then you can go over there.
John Holmberg
You have to.
Brady
Then you definitely have to go to asu, right?
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Dick Toledo
Like, you transfer, you have to apply. You can't just say, I'm going to go. And go, yeah. You have to be accepted.
John Holmberg
You crush my ambition, Rat. Landlord told me you'd do this.
Dick Toledo
This is why I don't talk to you.
John Holmberg
You're always negative. Your father is a liar. He will live in the studio apartment forever. Keep my knee deep in cheese.
Brady
Fashion school in LA is definitely gulp at that point.
John Holmberg
And then he goes, oh, absolutely. Yeah.
Brady
There's no. There's no about it. There might be butts about it, but, you know, it's.
John Holmberg
There's the Silence Assassin right there. Wait a minute. Your boy wants to go to fashion school in Los Angeles? He'll pay his rent. Don't worry about it.
Brett
Welcome to Chapel City.
Brady
At least you want it to pay.
John Holmberg
I can't wait till he meets his landlord in Los Angeles. Here's the rent money this month. What is a handful of cheese? What are you doing? This is my last landlord took it. Oh, my God. He's in a little top hat and a monocle. He looks. He looks sort of diamond top. And he's got. Yeah, he's got a vest on. He swings a thing, but he can barely keep his feet because he's got to walk on his back legs all the time to try to prove Alex that he's. People got a little sign on his vest that says landlord, but the Ls are backwards. And he just. He's like a foot And a half off the ground. Alex has to pay him in cheese. I want to. I. Ah. Why does. Why brain? Why do you treat me like a drug addict? All right, Brett, what do you got? Fix me. That's. Shut up. I'm sorry. If you could see it, you'd be dying.
Brady
All right, this one's entitled. Wait for me.
Dick Toledo
I'm gonna buy some fabric that has cheese on it.
John Holmberg
Oh, God. The train tracks. Motorcycle. That was a center punch one. Guy crosses, he's fine. Get in the motor. Motorcycle.
Brett
What's with the gesture?
John Holmberg
Hold on. He just elon musk them too. He gave him a full on Nazi salute. That train was not coming in slow either.
Brady
How about this one?
John Holmberg
All right, here's a gas station. Where? Oh my God. It's an Indian crash at a gas station. All right, that guy's an idiot. It's just a crash at the gas. Does that thing explode? Eventually.
Brett
All right, out of gas.
Brady
Gas and let's. Oh, this should keep your kids off of drugs. Just show them this video.
John Holmberg
Oh, there's a guy with. He's flipping out on a bathroom floor and he is spinning like an alligator. He's in a gator roll and he's. He's had. And there's pee all over this public restroom. He's lost it. He's sliding around floor. So wet. Oh, it is prison, right?
Dick Toledo
Public to prison.
John Holmberg
It is prison. Ass over there. Get your ass over there. He's still threatening like he can control his movement. Ain't never seen human fish before. Better get your ass over there. Hey, this place has free rent. Maybe Alex can.
Brady
Yeah, maybe he can get his ass over there.
John Holmberg
Ass in there. He can transfer to that fashion school.
Brady
Let's do another car crash. We haven't had enough for the day.
John Holmberg
Helicopter and a high speed chase. They just pit pit maneuvered him. He's tumbling his car. Car hit the center divider. He shoots out the window into oncoming traffic. And then the oncoming traffic finishes the job. He rolls over three or four times. He shoots right out that window. He's in lane three. And then another car. Can't. Can't miss him. It just goes right over the top. That guy's all done. Wow. Well, what was he running for? He was running. The police were following him in the first place in that chopper.
Brady
Yeah, I'm sure.
John Holmberg
All right. Just the most R word porno plots ever. Oh, here we go. Number one. Stop. Who are you? What are you doing, guys? Planting carrots. This is my carrot.
Dick Toledo
Oh, no, no, don't do it.
John Holmberg
Fat guy in a red Speedo. My carrots. And he's pulling carrots out of the ground. He's a pretty big dude for his fat. And he's about 7ft tall. Really? I know, but I am very hungry. Carrots. Oh, no. The skinny hillbilly is threatening the big one with his carrot. A carrot? No. He makes him grab his pee pee. Not this. Yes. Oh, this is a full on homosexual. It's a real carrot. Oh, that dude's got huge, beautiful breasts. Oh, no, wait a second. Is that a woman?
Brett
Yeah, that's a lady.
John Holmberg
That's banging her with a carrot.
Brady
Right out of the ground, too. And then we'll.
John Holmberg
What's up, doc?
Brady
And then we'll just end with this one.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God.
Brady
Brady's really gonna have.
John Holmberg
Did you guys all think that was a man, too? Yeah, first. Yeah. Okay.
Brady
Brady's gonna have vegetable nightmares.
John Holmberg
Yeah, well, he always does. Oh, here's a gigantic zucchini. Is that what. That's it. She's tiny.
Dick Toledo
Aren't those like, Sandy on the side?
John Holmberg
Well, you can. You gotta clean them. She's starting to.
Brett
No, that's the Q inside me.
John Holmberg
This isn't about the food. This is so much about the. She is so little. She just. This can't be real. Okay, thanks. It is the biggest thing anyone's stuck in themselves. It does. Like, what? What are you doing? Like, there's no guy that can match this thing. She's gonna have an orgasm during childhood.
Brett
Gordon Ramsay.
John Holmberg
Weirdest thing I've ever seen. Gordon Ramsay shows up. He's angry about the use of the food. Now she's upside down on a pole, naked, fellating the giant zucchini. And I mean, this thing's three. Listen, listen. Three feet long, stupid. Now Gordon Ramsay yells at. It's a silly video, but she's having sex with a gigantic.
Brady
There she goes.
Brett
What are you doing?
John Holmberg
Come on, you're ruining it. You're going to kill someone. Donkey. Put that in there. Go get her a donkey.
Brady
She needs it.
John Holmberg
This month. I would prefer if you paid in excess. Trash. What do you want? What? What are you talking about? Brat. Landlord. Excess trash shall be scattered about the floor. I will clean it up with my tiny paws. My fan. I'll eat it off my belly in my room. But I don't want a portrait. Silence. Dad, don't come down today. I have to clean up. The landlord's all over me. Was there trash all over your floor for rent too? Silence. You're always judging me. You and Your large headed father can quiet down. Rent do.
Brady
Here you go, Toledo. This guy said I went to FIDM. It's expensive as f it was 125k a year.
John Holmberg
You're not going there, Alec.
Brett
Full ride.
Dick Toledo
While it's different now than when he went because ASU owns it. So he gets ASU tuition in state tuition now to go there.
Brady
Well, it's still gonna be 60k, I would think. Yeah.
John Holmberg
Don't you still have to like have.
Dick Toledo
60 better than 128.
John Holmberg
You have to have like a design book. What do you mean you can't? Like I can just sign up and want to be part of that school. Don't they have to accept you?
Brett
And a year into it he's gonna say, dad, I just joined a cheerleading school squad out in West Holly or anything.
John Holmberg
Gulp.
Dick Toledo
He's got a little bit of a portfolio. Yeah.
John Holmberg
Oh, does he?
Dick Toledo
Oh, yeah.
John Holmberg
Silent. I've eaten all your papers, dad. There goes my portfolio. The greatest cartoon ever is Rat Landlord. I wish you could see it. It's great. He's barely at the door. He's pounding on it all the time. Keep it down. My tender, very sensitive ears can't handle this new music. Kendrick Lamar's terrible. Oh, I love Rat Landlord. And I love that Alex is ruining your life.
Brett
He hits a big Tony.
John Holmberg
Tell me again how love is better than not having one.
Dick Toledo
Well, it's a real test, John.
John Holmberg
I don't understand. Like I love. I don't think I love anything, man. That much. I don't think that's. He's the best thing that ever happened to me. Is he? If he wasn't your son, would you allow this, anybody else to do this to you? You were family, right? Yeah. That didn't give you a right to make my life miserable. You got to drive to Tucson on a Tuesday afternoon. Yeah, I don't love anybody that much at all. My dad could call me. Been in a terrible accident in Tucson. You're the only one that can help. I'll meet you in Maricopa.
Brady
I'll send you an Uber.
John Holmberg
I can get you a Waymo in Tucson, I think. Can you make it to Chandler? I'll help you in Chandler. Please. It might be the last time you see me. I got an idea. Facetime me. I'm not going. Don't you love me? Not Tucson love. I don't have Tucson love inside my body. I just don't thought I could get beyond it. I'm sorry it's eating you life. But thanks for sharing because you know, you know who you just made feel better? Ken. He's having a better day than you. Epc. Gay Ken and his wife. And his wife. You know what? They might reconcile. At least we're not Toledo. That's right. What smells? Oh, I've got to go wash it. I was golfing. And there you go. That is your incredibly informative Brady Report. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. 98. Still streaming Hberg's Morning Sickness online at 98kupd.com man, that Toledo kid story has me just spinning. Hilarious. Just hilarious. Somebody, Phil said, man, you talked about Toledo's life story and I don't know if you did this on purpose, but you were talking about his situation and then you went right into a commercial where Toledo talks about low testosterone and losing his sex drive. John, that's diabolical. I didn't do that on purpose. In fact, Toledo's in charge of those commercials. Maybe it was a cry for help. What a morning between him and Ken and his crazy wife. This is just. This show's doing itself this morning. This is fantastic. Also for all you people who have emailed me over the last year and a half about how insane I am to trade Devin Booker and get. Huh? Mm. Uh huh. Now's the time.
Brady
But now he's the leading scorer in son's history and he will be for years.
John Holmberg
So it's time to jettison him. The only thing you can do now is add to that pile. Get rid of him now. He is the only trade piece you've got. This team has heartless. He he last night. For those who weren't paying attention, Devin Booker became the all time scorer for the Phoenix Suns. He's got more points as a Phoenix sun than anyone who's ever worn the uniform in the 55 years that's been a team. Nobody has scored more points than Devin Booker as a son.
Brett
Who was it at the time?
John Holmberg
Walter Davis? Sweet d. It lasted 40 years. This record, it's huge.
Brady
It's crazy. I didn't think it was that. I mean, think about the Sun's teams are like 92.
John Holmberg
Yeah, but nobody stayed.
Brady
I know, but Yeah, I mean, KJ.
John Holmberg
Would have been the one, but he didn't score 26 a night. Yeah, Kevin was in assists. Guy Barkley was only here for three years. You know, you forget like Tom Chambers was here for a while and he scored a ton of points, but he was only in his prime with the sun from 88 to like 92. Then he was a bench player. This is 10 years of Devin Booker. People forget he's been here for like this is year nine, I think nine. So he's like, he's been here for a minute and he's all time leading scorer. Last night that team could not get past Deandre Ayton and the Portland Trailblazers. For the second time in three days, this average ass Portland team beat him. And it's on Devin Booker's special night. Your all time leading scorer breaks the record. And you can't muscle up and beat the Blazers just for him. You can't do it. You're heartless. That's a heartless bunch. And Devin Booker, poor bastard, gets fouled at the end of overtime from the three point line. Three free throws to tie. Misses the last one. He was 12 of 13 from the free throw. This team is heartless. I've been screaming it for I don't know how long. Trade all of them. I'm a season ticket holder. You know how hard it is for me? Want to go to one of these games? Because this team's going nowhere. And I paid for a team that was supposed to be good. And I know I'll sit with a team and ride the ebbs and flows, but when, boy, when they are heartless, it's hard to be there and say, I see a future here. That's all I ask for with the team. I don't know how you do it with the Bears. You check out a lot. But you see a team, you're like training camp.
Brady
I'm out, right?
John Holmberg
I see a future. I know what you're up to. There's a plan in place. This is a disaster.
Brett
This year's different though, Brett.
Brady
That's what they say every year, but it's like being a Cubs fan for 100 years. Same thing.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Brady
This is.
John Holmberg
This.
Brady
This could be it.
John Holmberg
No, we knew the one when we started having this could be the year.
Brady
Well, then you got, then you got real nervous. What's his name, Bartman screwed it up for you.
John Holmberg
Well, come on. Why'd you hit me there?
Brady
Well, I'm just saying. That's when you thought it was gonna happen.
John Holmberg
Let's get back to ripping off. Let's. Let's get back to ripping on Toledo's kid. I didn't need Bartman to make an appearance this morning. Says, wait a second. Toledo said he's spending all his time down there in Tucson with dudes. Now he wants to backpack with dudes? Oh, he's coming back with a boyfriend and hep c sup. Hepsy is the theme today. David makes an interesting point. Vasquez is the one who sees it so clearly. Said, what if when Toledo's kid's girlfriend gets left behind when he goes back to school for fashion, and that chick is going to end up having a nightmare try to climb in Toledo's bed with him while she's living there like that lady from yesterday's. What would Brady. That's right. That's what Toledo's future holds right now. He's going to house the pregnancy pregnant girl that his son brought with and his son's gonna run off to la. That girl's gonna still live with Toledo and the next thing you know, like yesterday's what would Brady do? She's gonna have a bad nightmare and climb in bed with Richard. And the next thing you know, he's banging his son's pregnant girlfriend. I can only pray for that to actually occur once your wife wake up. She sleeps so sound. What are you doing? What are you. What? What? Oh, I can't wait. So anyway, also, people need to. If you're a fan of the Saints, maybe stop it. I don't know if you guys are seeing what's going on there, but it's all leaking out to le and I were looking into it yesterday. I read more. Evidently, the Saints, the New Orleans Saints helped the archbishop of New Orleans cover up a bunch of sex with kids. Like the like, they were asked, can you help us with some PR and some work? And like, oh, absolutely, we'll help you with that. What were you doing? We were raping a bunch of kids. Yeah, absolutely. Step in my office. We'll help you with that. We're the Saints. So I don't know how this isn't a bigger deal because it evidently has been going on for years. Years.
Brett
That's what I was saying recently.
John Holmberg
Well, a bunch of emails have just recently come out that said. And they've been denying having anything to do with. And these emails came out and said, no, like, you guys helped them, like, a lot. And you know who else helped the New Orleans Pelican? The archdiocese. The archbishop went over to the owners of two of the franchises in town and said, hey, you guys mind helping get some PR help getting out of this pickle a little bit? And they're like, yeah, sure. What do you need? Some money, some PR stuff. Help us out. We've been burying it in some children.
Brett
That this wasn't happening.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you can say that. All you want. But when the church comes over and says, we need you to help bury this child rape thing we got going on, and they're like, absolutely.
Brady
Father Dale can cruise over and be the commissioner league now.
John Holmberg
I mean, this is very quiet, but it should be super loud that a sports franchise is doing what they're being accused of. Like, what? They're not even accused. Like, the emails are saying. Yeah, no, they were. They knew all about this and sat back. I know. If Brett came to me and said, hey, I need a hand. I'm like, what do you need, buddy? What do you got? Got this child rape thing lingering over me. I'd love to. If you could. If you could back me for. No, I'm pretty much out on that immediately. The child rape was the phrase that pays there. I'm not going to help with that. I'm not helping anybody. When they say, can we just wait.
Brett
Until after the Super Bowl.
John Holmberg
Yeah, can we get through this playoffs right now? Because they made Daniel Snyder essentially sell the Washington commanders because of a couple of emails about cheerleaders being naked.
Brett
And Grude.
John Holmberg
Yeah, And Gruden lost his job forever for saying that a guy with big lips has big lips, essentially. That's why he's out now. It wasn't the most favorable thing, but he didn't like the guy. Did he have big lips? Yes. Are you allowed to say it the way he did? No. So both things can be true at once. So Gruden will never work again in the NFL. The Saints. That guy can still have at the team when he helped the local Catholic church cover up some child rape. No.
Brett
Only the church can get away with that.
John Holmberg
Right? Yeah. I'm not even. I'm done with them. They're. They're the ones that keep going. We didn't mean it. Keep acting like it didn't happen. You know, they didn't even change the uniforms. A decent franchise changes the uniforms after they get caught raping kids. You don't come out in the dress again.
Brady
The church didn't.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Brady
Still use the same uniform.
John Holmberg
That's what I'm talking about.
Brady
I mean, it's ridiculous.
John Holmberg
The dudes in dresses still show up in the same dresses. Like, well, this is tradition.
Brady
Like.
Brett
Yeah, but there's something they could learn from the NFL in college teams jerseys.
John Holmberg
You change. You change up. Call Alex and get some fashion advice. Because right now the hats and the dresses remind us something else.
Brady
He needs a job.
John Holmberg
I always say that. Even Papa John got rid of the Apostrophe. They changed something. And all he did was say the nword once. So the Saints thing's weird and it's quiet. You got to search for this story. This should be sort of blockbustery if you ask me.
Brett
We'll look into it.
John Holmberg
Well, yeah, look into it and you'll be like, oh, it's not the people. People poo poo. Because the way it is, it's like, oh, they didn't know. It's like, no, the email said, we're gonna say we didn't know about this if it happens. Like, they knew something terrible was going on. It ain't good, but it's the world we live in. A lot of money in that church and they seem to push their way around. But man, to get the Saints and the Pelicans both involved again, it would take me an awful. Ah, again. Don't know that I have that kind of love. My dad could come to me and go, I got this child rape thing hanging over me. I'm gonna your help. Peace out. No, what do you need me to do? Take you to the prison myself? Or like, you need a ride to jail, right? That's what you're asking for. No, no, no. I need you to cover it up with me.
Brett
No, you can go back to. I mean, it's been happening.
John Holmberg
Oh, it's that stuff. It's the tradition of the church. But get to get the NFL involved and they say yes. I don't understand it. So keep your eyes open on that one. I have a feeling that one's gonna be a thing. If it isn't, it's shocking because then it does scream that there's too much power in both of those organizations to sit and go. Yeah, yeah, it leaked out. We contained it. It's good. It's like, you know, if here's two.
Brett
People to sacrifice, right? Yeah, there'll be a couple involved.
John Holmberg
Probably. Jon Gruden will get fired again for another email in this mix, but yeah, strange. We get the hot releases coming up in just a little bit. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. Still streaming Homberg's morning sickness online at 98kupd.com Gorgeous Tuesday, it is time for the hot releases. They are brought to you by our friends@newac.unit.com 86 degrees today. Today. It's nice. We'll have another cool down. But think about it. Your air conditioner is not too far away from popping on. It usually happens at my house at spring training towards the end of spring training, I start seeing that AC pop on. I am confident mine will work every time because, you know, pretty new couple years old. If you're sitting there. Not too confident that this summer's air conditioner is going to pop on. Like that guy that in the commercial. I tell you what, emailed me started to smoke in it house. Should I get a new one? Yeah, you should.
Brady
Not a bad idea, bro.
John Holmberg
You got, you got a fire breathing dragon keeping you warm. That's a bad idea. New ac unit.com will take care of you right there. And they'll do it real well for a little while longer with my name. It's the promo code. Holmberg will knock another grand off there. How about that? So you're already going to save money and then put my name in the thing and save even more. New ac unit.com. that's the place to go. Save thousand, save time. Buy online. New ac unit. Brett, what's released on the musical?
Brady
All right, let's start with new stuff from Dream Theater. This was released like three months ago, the single. But this is night terror. It's 10 minutes long. So let me just skip into like the two and a half minute mark.
John Holmberg
Is there anybody in this that's still.
Brady
I think port noise back.
John Holmberg
Port noise. The drummer again, not barstool sports.
Brady
No, no, no.
John Holmberg
Ms. Peaches is not in the band. Is the rat Landlord singing?
Brady
This is one of those artist bands though. Like you got to be a musician to like these guys.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Oh, and every musician does.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
I've never got the dream other than Pull Me Under.
Brady
I liked that song about it.
John Holmberg
Outside of that, I just want to.
Brett
Turn fans on and have my hair blowing.
John Holmberg
Yeah. But even after a while you're just going to dry out because their songs are so long. That fan can't be on you for 10 minutes. Oh, I don't need that.
Brady
Here's the latest one from the weekend. This is Open Eyes, I guess Videos here the weekend.
John Holmberg
This dude's insanely talented.
Brady
You can only learn how to dance. Like I know do the Michael Jackson.
John Holmberg
Stuff he does for these videos and the thread of story that goes for his whole career. It opens a whole new door to what's going on.
Brett
Pilots.
John Holmberg
Yeah, 21 pilots does the same thing. It's too much to try to keep track of. It's like he's, he's. He writes some pop music that. But again, you're right. He's like can't dance. But his stuff age, work. The stuff he puts up there Is huge.
Brady
Here's new stuff from Saliva. This is with basically nobody left in the band from the original lineup.
John Holmberg
Everybody's gone.
Brady
Yeah. And Josie Scott's off doing his own thing now.
John Holmberg
Who's singing?
Brady
I think his name's Bobby or something. He's been with him for a while.
John Holmberg
But all the original members that trickled out.
Brady
Yeah, the last original one died.
John Holmberg
So. Yeah. That's weird when you think about it. It's like every member has kind of gone away and been replaced and over time they piecemeal a new Saliva together and they just stayed.
Brady
Quiet Ride's the same one.
John Holmberg
Yeah, there's all different dudes.
Brett
Y they're up to 100, I think.
John Holmberg
Quiet Ride. Look at that.
Brady
After their first three or four albums, I was kind of done.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's a little.
Brady
How about Electric Call Boy? This is Elevator Operator.
John Holmberg
Are they coming to town? I was talking to Josh Black yesterday and we were talking about. When they come back, we're going this. This band is fun. Top to bottom, this filthy. I'm sure you heard about a man, the left controller, the le thing.
Brett
I told you, hop in and let the journey begin.
Brady
Be a wake up song tomorrow.
John Holmberg
Maybe these guys are just flat. Fun Operator. This could be a dangerous live show. They evidently Josh was telling me, like in Europe they're selling out soccer stadiums and they come here and you see them at the marquee. I'm in this one.
Brady
The video came out two months ago from Square Squid.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Brady
This is crispy skin.
John Holmberg
It's terrible too. I'm intrigued mainly because I don't know where it's gonna go. Squid, squid, squid. Sweet.
Brady
Welcome to Katie kb.
John Holmberg
This is what my husband Ken used to listen to all the time on his way to golf. Quiet batch. I can't hear squat.
Brett
We call in.
John Holmberg
Something else.
Brett
I'm entertaining.
John Holmberg

It's only February, you know, but I think I've heard the quote of the year quote. I think my boner is confused. End quote. I knew it was can't do that stuff I go back to when I was a kid and I found this out. What, just four months ago, five months ago, that. When what's that chick's name that was dating Axl Rose in the November Rain video? Stephanie Seymour. Yeah. When she was in my house in California. I didn't know that she was 14, 15. I was a kid, so it didn't matter. But then her 42 year old boyfriend took her somewhere and they end up in Paris.
Brady
Hello, Roman Palance.
John Holmberg
It worked out for everybody. Poway, California. Stephanie Seymour. I wish, I wish I had pictures of myself in that legendary wolf howling at the moon. Half shirt and maroon op shorts with yellow and blue socks pulled up to my knees when she told me I look cute.
Brady
The corduroy op shorts.
John Holmberg
Corduroy op shorts. And then I'm telling you, man, this was a, an ugly half shirt with a wolf on it. And Stephanie Seymour, you look cute. You're cute. And then every time she came over, I go, put that back on. And then, and then. But I didn't know that she was interested in dudes born in the 50s. 40s at the time, early 40s.
Brett
That dude that was dating agent, that.
John Holmberg
Dude that was dating her, I'm not kidding. Right now is 80, 89. It was 42 in 1981. 82.
Brett
So it was like torp rolled into your house.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Oh my God. Holy smokes. Anyway, and she's like, here's like 57 now. She's few years older than me. 56, I guess sitting in my house, they're staring at some 14 year old. They used to do this all the time. Can't do that, that anymore. Freya. Sky. It's garbage. Anyway, I digress. It's time now for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our friends@reactdefense.com, the home of tactical black self defense training. Yesterday I was up there and I, I accidentally ordered six of those box bowling things. I don't know if you guys have seen that. Basically turns your head into paddle ball. Yeah. Yeah, you strap your. You strap the springy ball on your head and you punch it. And I, I meant to order one and I got six. I don't know how I can.
Brady
How do you do this?
John Holmberg
I don't know. And so I got six. So you don't have to worry about.
Brett
Buying a large shopping cart.
John Holmberg
I bought him. I brought him to the gang up there.
Dick Toledo
Oh, nice.
John Holmberg
And so yesterday it was just a bunch of highly trained, skilled trainers with paddle ball heads. And we're all punching at them. And of course, Josh just got great at it. My record was 16. Josh hit 32. And then I'm like, all right, I see what you're up to. And then I hit 32. But then it's. It's. We have a blast up there. It's too much fun. These people are incredibly fun. And then you realize, all right, don't bring them toys. They'll get better than you in seconds. Bastards. But, yeah, we had a great time yesterday. I did a lot of. You know what I learned yesterday? That I'm scared to death of something new. And it was great to train on it was having a being laying down and having someone place a long gun in my head. There's defense for that. You feel so helpless, and then you get put through it, and you're like, you're not helpless. Help us at all. Because they basically say, what would you do? They're like, oh, no. You're just laying on your back with a gun at different angles. It's all different. Depending on where the guy comes up, comes up over the top of your head or it's at your forehead and he's behind you. If he's next to you, if he's in front of you, there's like a thousand different options. But you are not helpless. As helpless as you feel before. They say, all right, let's try this, this, and this. And then as we were doing it, the really cool thing was, uh, going through a couple of the angles, like, that's not gonna work right. They worked out in front of me like, a better plan. It's fluid based on its basis. So it's like, it starts at the foundation, and you're like, well, but it can move because this guy's gonna move. It's not that traditional self defense where you go through the. This is what would happen if I stabbed you like this. It's like, people move and they do weird stuff. It was incredible. Again, another thing. I've been doing this now for, like six and a half years. Another thing yesterday where I walked away going, I learned something at a gym that doesn't happen ever. And I walked out of there with a situation that'll probably never happen to me, but I now have a plan. It feels good, you feel smarter, you feel better, you feel accomplished. And that's a good thing. A lot of times you go to the gym, you work out, you feel good. This is. You walk out, you learn something. And you're also. I was sweating like a pig. So we had A great workout. Just. I can't explain it to you. You do it. So get on up there and get your hands on training like I do. Reactdefense.com Price is unbeatable. 199 bucks for two months of training. And you are going to love everything they offer, all the classes and everything they do is on their schedule right there@reactdefense.com hop on it. It's the home of Tactical Black Brady Entertainment.
