Episode Overview

This episode is an emotional roller coaster as John Holmberg shares the pain of losing his beloved dog Frank, reflecting deeply on pet loss and the unique bond between humans and dogs. The conversation then moves to sports commentary, particularly on aging athletes winning MVP awards and what that says about professional leagues, before detouring into humorous (and sometimes chaotic) discussions about AI, virtual personas, and the future of human roles in an AI-driven world. The tone switches deftly between heartfelt, irreverent, and playfully combative, characteristic of the show’s banter.

Detailed Breakdown & Timestamps

1. Holmberg’s Grief: Saying Goodbye to Frank

[01:41 - 11:54]

• John opens up about putting his dog Frank down after 14 years. He describes the at-home euthanasia process with Dr. Fixler and assistant Amelia, expressing gratitude for their compassion. Holmberg is candid about the pain and emptiness he feels, emphasizing Frank's quirks, constant presence, and the huge hole his absence creates.

  • Quote:
    “The house is empty. It’s the strangest thing in the world. They took in Dr. Fixler and Amelia walked out yesterday with him and left. And I’ve still got four dogs and a cat in that house, and it is empty. Just a huge hole in the smallest thing was the biggest part, for sure." – John Holmberg [04:45]

• He reflects on the communal aspect of pet loss, referencing listeners who’ve shared their own stories and the way those messages comforted him.

• Pet Adoption Call: Holmberg plugs "Pick of the Litter" and highlights adoptable dog Hercules, sharing Hercules’ story and encouraging listeners to give the dog a chance.

  • “Go to the website 98kupd.com, click on the pick of the litter and take a look at Hercules now... this little thing is hilarious.” – John Holmberg [10:50]

• The segment closes on a positive note with an appeal to honor lost pets by helping shelter animals, especially at their upcoming Super Bowl party/fundraiser.

2. Sports Talk: Old MVPs and League Health

[15:42 - 24:14]

• Shifting gears, the crew discusses the NFL Honors with Matthew Stafford, age 37, winning MVP. Holmberg argues this is a bad sign for the league, humorously claiming that if "old people" win athletic awards, it highlights a lack of young talent or an unhealthy league.

  • Quote:
    “If you start handing old people stuff, something’s wrong with your league.” – John Holmberg [16:20]
  • “The MVP should be a dude in his prime.” – John Holmberg [18:23]

• The discussion circles to aging stars across sports, like LeBron James, and the changing dynamics due to league rules favoring longer careers (especially quarterbacks).

• The group openly debates what defines “the greatest of all time,” with John arguing Steph Curry changed basketball more than LeBron, and that longevity alone shouldn’t determine greatness.

  • Quote:
    “Steph Curry is a better argument for greatest of all time because he actually changed the game. Not for the better either.” – John Holmberg [23:46]

3. AI, Fantasy, and the Instagram Rabbit Hole

[24:14 - 41:40]

• The show derails (as often happens) when Brady veers off with an incomplete story about a new AI networking site, “molt book,” and AI bots hiring humans. The crew roasts Brady for not having details, to comedic effect.

  • “Brady, this story you brought to us is incomplete. If I was a teacher, you’d have... it would just say incomplete on the top of the page.” – John Holmberg [34:04]

• Simultaneously, they obsess over AI-created Instagram influencer “Grayson Higgs” (also referred to as Gracie Higgins), with Holmberg (and allegedly Bret) humorously professing their infatuation with the virtual woman and the song “Paging Dr. Beat.”

  • “She’s the most beautiful fake person I’ve ever seen, and she dances to this song constantly.” – John Holmberg [30:05]

• The crew muses about virtual reality’s future, where people might “enter” AI worlds and interact with digital characters—a mix of jest, awe, and lightly lewd suggestion.

  • “I, for one, am first in line to beta test that one. I don’t care how many times it ends up like Jeff Goldblum in The Fly...” – John Holmberg [31:23]

• Hilarity peaks as the conversation bounces between bad information about AI making humans their “meat space workers” and the quest for more Grayson Higgs videos, with John mock-scolding Brady for lacking crucial story details.

  • “We don’t deserve dogs. They just, they give, they give, they give.” – John Holmberg [09:18]

• On Sports & Aging:

  • “I don’t like when old people win stuff. I just don’t. I really don’t—like athletic stuff! Go ahead and win an Academy Award, I don’t give a crap about that.” – John Holmberg [20:27]

• On AI and Virtual Influencers:

  • “She’s the most beautiful fake person I’ve ever seen... and she dances to this song constantly... That song is a boner machine!” – John Holmberg [30:05, 30:40]

[John Holmberg]

Still streaming Homberg's Morning Sickness [e-mail] Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Friday. It's 5:45. My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett, there's big dick Toledo. And this is the morning sickness. Off and running. Ready to go into your weekend of perfect weather, perfect everything and all that other stuff. Get it right out of the way early. I'm playing her today. Last night we we had to take Frankie and give him the gift and send him to his reward as they say. My boy Frankie, my little puppy 14 years old. It was just time to go. So, Dr. Fixler, the best. Unbelievable happy endings. Pet euthanasia is just at home. I, you know, fortunately, I'm a good enough friend, I guess, to text him and say, I need some help now. And he just was amazing. And Amelia, his assistant, came, and she was absolutely incredible. Hadn't met her yet. And we took little Frankie out. And this one. You know what helped me the whole time through all this is all you guys who've emailed me over time saying, hey, I lost my guy and we've been throwing cookies and treats for your dogs the whole time.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And I just. And every time I've typed back to you guys a note saying, hey, you know, is it 14 plus dog years you got that? You're like, every time you say to somebody, you did a great job. You ran the full race. My own. My own thoughts for other people that have emailed me and told me stuff have kind of been on my mind. And it's that. That back and forth with you guys that made me kind of realize what was done last night, as tough as it is. And my eyes almost fell out last night. I just felt so empty and miserable, and it just feels awful. You lose your best friend and then it just, you know, it's just the toughest thing not to hear his little nails on the ground. And he was the most annoying dog I've ever owned because he just loved being right next to my face. And I can't tell you the countless amount of times that I had to put Frank egg, like, if on his urn. I want to put, knock it off, Frank, because I think that's what he thought his name was. Quit it, Frank. Stop pumping Sheila's face, Frank. He was constantly a natural space invader. And as you go through all the pictures of Frank through the years, you realize he was always next to another thing. He found the other dogs fascinating. He would. When they laid down, he laid right next to him. He was. He was just a constant hook. And the house is empty. It's the strangest thing in the world. Like, they took in Dr. Fixler and Amelia walked out yesterday with him and left. And I've still got four dogs and a cat in that house, and it is empty. It just a huge hole in the smallest thing was the biggest part, for sure. It is. It's as you realize that they leave, they take up so much space in you. But through all these emails and things with you guys, it was like these moments where I realized what you've said to me and what we've talked about before, when it comes to pets and you guys know I'm a dog lunatic. Kind of got me through a little bit easier last night. It wasn't easy by any stretch, but it was certainly something. So I ask you now for me as you have asked me for you extra hugs and some cookies for your guys this morning as you're looking at them right in the eye. They don't last long. That was a quick 14 years. The first time I get up in the morning and come to work in 14 years without Frankie tapping away at the floor asking me for some cookies and stuff. Like first day. And that is a tough one. You don't have, you know, your little guy there when you come home and all the rest of them looking around like, what the hell's going on? There's like something missing. And Frankie was a consummate. He was always there where I was. Frank was. Where something was going on. Frank was like. He was always close. If you took a picture of one dog, there was a chance he'd photobomb it. He constantly was right there. And that is a massive hole in my world. So thanks to you guys and I know you'll be nice to me again on the maybe not. Maybe somebody be pricks. That could be. And I. I welcome that. But yeah, so that I'll kick it off by saying that I'm playing hurt every once in a while my brain's gonna drift and that I. I completely expect. Who knows? Maybe it's like steroids for a show and you just don't realize that when Johnny kills, he gets better. But at home, pet euthanas that. Happy endings that Dr. Fixler and oh my God, what a. What a thing that is. You did it with yours recently and you've done it and it's just like, man, this is just such a unbelievable service that they provide and so incredibly compassionate. And Dr. Mike Fixler has watched. He's a man who has seen me cry more than any man on this planet. He is what I don't. Two times I've seen him and I haven't been crying. And one was at the comedy show because there he was. He saw me as I was getting ready to go across the street. I was gonna go to the rah rah room, meet Trip, and I'm at the road and he walks by me and I'm like, I know you. This is great. And then he walks by and then he went to the. He went to our show in December it couldn't have been awesome. I'm like, hey, this is the first time we're gonna be together. I don't start sobbing at one point. And I did feel a little bad last night, though, because as Frankie was, was gone and his little bodies there on the couch and we're all saying goodbye one at a time. Let the other dogs in to just see. You know, they react oddly to when their friends are gone. It's almost like I remember when my, my dog Katie passed and Dutchie, the old English sheepdog, just came in and smelled her and then walked on her like she was a rug, like she's dead. Like. Like she knew, like, this isn't a thing anymore. And I'm like, weird. So I did feel bad last night because I let Jack Hamm in and he's my kind of lab mix thing. And he comes in, sees Frank, looks up, and he starts liking Dr. Fixler. And I'm like, is it. Should I introduce these two? Like, this shouldn't be a friendship. Yeah, this is, you know, he's great with dogs. He's a proven quality veterinarian. But at this very moment, I'm not so sure this is the guy that Jack should be like, hey, who are you? Nice to meet you. What do you do for a living? Yikes. You just don't want to be, you know, it's like introducing a 90 year old woman.

[Brady]

Cute dog.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. To Jack Kevorkian, it's like, hey, how you doing?

[Brady]

It's like the child Catcher.

[John Holmberg]

I told Jack, I'm like, don't even cough around this guy. I mean, just in case. But yeah, it's. It was a thing. It's a thing, I tells you, but it's part of owning dogs. It's part of the whole goddamn thing. And it stinks because we don't deserve them. We just don't.

[Brady]

I said that when we got the, you know, we had one dog, all right? We just got done putting Kiva down, and next thing you know, we have two more. And I'm like cursing like, we're gonna.

[John Holmberg]

Go two more lives. But then it's like, that's a good thing. Goes away really quick again. I think Brett told me that a while ago. He's like, look, a couple months of depression is worth the 14 years of absolute joy. 100%.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Either shut up, Frankie, or knock it out. Frank is going to be written on his little urn because he's. He was just constant like, let's do something, Buzz. And smiled. Had this Big smile. He, when he'd see it was almost nervous. It was hilarious. So he was a little clown.

[Brady]

I'm going to miss him.

[John Holmberg]

But he gave me an awful lot of. He gave me everything he had for 14 years. We certainly do not get to get that from our, from a lot of people. So we don't deserve dogs. They just, they give, they give, they give. And so that's that. I won't bug you with it anymore. I'll probably come up again later, but I'm already gonna get. The emails are flying. So thank you. I appreciate you guys for that. And you know, and you know what you could do? I can't do it yet. Hercules is this week's pick of the litter. You want to talk about a story? Hercules has Frankie had a story? Frank? I told that story several times. How that guy just tied him to a fence in July. And I went and got Frankie off the fence and it was meant to be. It was bad as that is as bad as it is. I, I, I was the one who saw that. I'm not sure anybody else watched it. Like that guy just tied that dog to a fence over by the freeway. I don't know if anybody else would have seen. He would have died for sure that day. It was a little puppy. No, no water in July. Little Hercules who I met yesterday. I hilarious fat little Chihuahua mixed with. But he's mostly Chihuahua and 9 years old and they live to be like 18, so that's like half. You got good amount of time with them. His owner became wildly allergic to him in the last year or two. Tried to live his life, but I mean, it was like hospitalization, allergies to his dog. It just happened. And he's like, I can't do it. Like, he's getting hives. He couldn't be around him. He's like, I can't even be in a room with my own dog. And he had to, you know, give him up. And this little thing is hilarious. He's this owner loved him, but he didn't do it like he was loved him with treats. This is a fat dog. It's gonna need some work. But he's hilarious. Go to the website 98kupd.com click on the pick of the litter and take a look at Hercules. Now I take Hercules home, but I ain't ready right quite yet. Larry's the one I'm pushing here because he liked that Min pin. This has a min pin Chihuahua mix thing. And I made him, you know, I did a little character voice for him in the video where he's Triumph the Insult comic. Because he was just sick of my immediately. All I wanted to do was wrestle with him. God damn it, Put me down. And that's strong enough to get away. Look, I eat six or seven times a day, and you are breaking up my meal time. He was a riot. And his tongue's hanging out of the side of his mouth because he's got two teeth left. And he just eats soft food, and he's a riot. But he needs to get a home quick because he's been in a home for nine years just chowing down on table scraps. And somebody needs to take care of this little guy and get him. He's hilarious. Just ready to go. Can't hurt a fly. He's got a tooth.

[Brady]

He's trying to picture this furry balloon.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he's a balloon, all right. He made me laugh. The minute I got in the room. He made me laugh. There he is. I mean, just a ball of fat, and he's got a head attached to it. Yeah. And the dude is awesome. He's nothing but fat with a head. And then. And he's just enough already. Like, you can see it in his eyes. When he's done with you holding him. It's like a tater tot with legs. Yeah, he is. Put me down, God damn it. It is time that I walk. I look, I'm getting fat because everyone carries me. He's a pig and he's hilarious. He's a sausage. He's a casing for a burrito. One tooth it is. He's a riot. He is a riot. So go. Go get that little fella. He's. He's the best. He is so fun. Yesterday we had a blast together. Didn't spend a ton of time with him because I had something to do, but, man, was he funny. He had me. So go get Hercules. Somebody go save Hercules. Because this little guy needs a house and he's good with little dogs and whatever, but he's. He's going to run your home. He's gonna walk in. There's a good chance he might rearrange furniture. He's one of those types. Okay, I don't like the couch here. Let's. I'll put some tape down and you can scooch it. If not, I'll put my 30 pounds of nine pound body in. Move this couch myself. This goes here. Now, does Larry in or. Larry was pretty. He's like, oh, man, I saw the video. Larry needs to do that. Larry's got to get back on this. And he's like, I don't think I can go through it again. I'm like, what's. What do you think this little guy's going through? He doesn't understand why I had the house. I had 12, 15 meals a day, and now I'm in a shelter where.

[Brady]

Why?

[John Holmberg]

It's because his little hair made the guy allergic. He doesn't shed, you know, Chihuahua hair, so you get little, but it's not a ton. And this dude just got allergic to that dog in particular. And he's like, I can't live my life and I can't be around him. It's not fair to either of us. Evidently, hearts were broken. He tried to give it to family, and the family's like, we can't take them. They're all over. And it's like, all right, I gave him up. That's brutal. And this little guy's just being fat in a shelter now, and he'd love to be fat at your house, so help him out. And then Sunday, we've got the super bowl party for the Humane Society, which I'm now dedicating to our boy Frankie for losing him this week, and all the dogs that we've talked about and stuff. Because if we can help give all those pups over there at the Humane Society a better chance to be in a situation like Frank was in and like the dogs you guys have, we're doing donations down there while we watch the super bowl. And we are giving away a ton of awesome stuff on Sunday, and it is just going to be a grab bag of amazing gifts to give away. You're going to walk out of there with, like, you'll be blown away at all the stuff we've got and watching the super bowl on top of it all, which will be a blast. And that's at Copper Blues on Sunday. Starting about 4 o', clock, the doors open at 2 load up.

[John Holmberg]

Homeburg's morning sickness. Let's get down there and make Frankie Gras a big thing in honor of my boy who I just lost. That's enough of that. That'll do about that. It's brutal. Now on to other things. We watched a little the NFL honors last night. Matthew Stafford becomes a 37 year old MVP in the league, which is good. I don't know if we've had Tom Brady ever win it after he was 37. He's not the oldest one that's ever won it. But again, it goes to my theory that if you start handing old people stuff, something's wrong with your league. If dudes who are on the 37's too old. It's getting up there, it's getting. 37 is old. But the guys don't make it to 40. A lot. Quarterbacks do now because the league protects him so much. 37 is getting close to being like. And he did. He was the MVP, was great. Oh, Brady made it at 40 when he was 2017. Most valuable player at 40. Aaron Rodgers 38 in 21 and now Stafford at 37. That's too old. You can't. You can have. It's right there and that starts to tell you there might be something wrong with your league.

[Brady]

How did, how did Stafford's year as far as yardage and all that match up against Brady and Rogers when they won it?

[John Holmberg]

I don't have any. Matthew Stafford had an amazing, great.

[Brady]

You know, I mean if anyone, if you're looking at on stats.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it was a good stat year but it was really just. I mean it was. He was, he was the reason that you know, he's got a great receiver. They're running games but I mean he is.

[Brady]

I wouldn't have expected that.

[John Holmberg]

Josh Allen is right there as if without him there's absolutely nothing going on in Buffalo. He has a one man team up there, period. Yeah, I mean really I mean, well, they get the number one rusher in football and nobody remembers that because this dude makes things happen that no one can. Like Josh Allen's outrageous. When it comes down to like crunch time. It's all on him. He runs, he's. I mean, he's. Everything about that team is just ridiculous. So. Yeah, I don't know. I just don't like when old people win things. I don't like it. I don't care for that. I like when, I like when spry young athletes are dominating the league because that means it's healthy. Healthy.

[Brady]

But you know, at the same time, as far as. I don't disagree with that.

[John Holmberg]

No, I don't either. But that again my point, it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree.

[Brady]

It's.

[John Holmberg]

The 37 year old is the best player in the league. Something's wrong with your league when it, when the average age of a football team is like 24. You got 37 year old. That's one of those. Something's wrong with the league. You got to have somebody. And they do have good young players, but I mean, he had a hell of a year. So.

[Brady]

So they have the rookie of the year.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. No, that goes back to, you know, of course you got. But the MVP should be a dude in his prime. That should be the most value. That's a most valuable players to me in leagues in your award then. Well, I just don't think they should even play. Like, I don't like when old people do things because you know why? It creates dudes who buy those Internet old dudes rule shirts to think that they're. You're not. You're. You're out. You're not doing it. It makes the, it makes a guy with a garage band in his mid-40s think they've still got a shot. It's just. You're out. It's not. You don't. You don't have anything.

[Radio Announcer]

I got if I won vote over Drake.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And Drake May is the one that you're like, all right. Because if he gets most valuable player, it's marketable and it's future. It's a, it's a tip of the cap off into the sunset for Stafford. And not to say he didn't deserve it, but I'm just saying the rest of the league needs to look at that and go, whoa, dudes in our prime are losing to dudes going out the door.

[Brady]

And is it like the.

[John Holmberg]

I don't like when old people like the Oscars.

[Brady]

A Little bit that we're not going to give it to the. Maybe lost by one vote.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe you're going to get yours. I mean, it wasn't an illegitimate gimme. No, it wasn't like when Paul Newman got it for Color of Money. He wasn't the best actor that year, but they'd never given him one before. This wasn't because all we owe Matt Stafford something. He's been.

[Brady]

It was.

[John Holmberg]

He deserved it. But it shines a light on the fact that he shouldn't have been in the competition at 37. But the problem with the league is not the age of the players. To me, the problem of the league is they protect quarterbacks too much and now there's 40 year old dudes that can dominate. That shouldn't be happening. I always go back to that when boxers with some 50 year old boxer comes and starts mopping up like this dude's gonna fight for the championship. Like something's wrong with boxing then. You should never have a 50 year old dude in the ring with these young kids cleaning up. That means there's something wrong with the batch of young kids that a 50 year old can go in there and start. He can win a fight or two and get you excited. He shouldn't be. George Foreman was only in his 40s and everybody was losing their minds when he came back and won the championship. He was still too old. But if you go back and look at the way heavyweight boxing looked when George Foreman in his 40s came back, there was no.

[Brady]

It was the right time.

[John Holmberg]

It was perfect, perfect timing to be old and look around and go, this is the weakest batch of heavyweights you could ever. I can still kick their ass. And he did until dudes that were better than him said, all right, sit down old man. And they dropped him like a bad habit. So I don't like when old people win stuff. I just don't. I really don't like athletic stuff. Go ahead and win an Academy Award, I don't give a crap about that. You're gonna be. That's age. That's not age. Restrictive athleticism, I guess. I'm so happy LeBron James sucks now that he's in his 40s. Well, he's dead. But they gave him the. Everybody fights, nobody likes the guy. But everybody, you know, started to give grief to the idea that he got named to the all star team. You're like, what? Come on, that's a gift. He's not playing that good.

[Brady]

But he's not a huge, you know, I don't follow the NBA day, day by day. But my perception is, man, the guy's in there too long. He's actually hurting himself.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, well, he's been doing that for a long time. Yeah, he's a stat pattern. Yeah, look, there's a statistic of him being the people will argue he's the greatest of all time. Here's one stat that'll make you go, no, he's not. Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who he passed for all time scoring leader, shot and hit one three pointer in his career. LeBron's got 10,000. Here's the other stat. Michael Jordan was often considered the greatest of all time. Kareem should be in the argument. In his career for 23 years, LeBron has turned the ball over 5,500 times. That's 23 years. You're going to turn the ball over Jordan. Kareem combined 5,300. Go yourself. It's an insane amount of. Of stats. He's not an argument of the greatest of all time. But they put him in there and then just because he hung around forever.

[Brady]

I heard of all the people, Dennis Rodman, you know, interview. I don't know if you ever heard that, but he's like, tell you who the goat is. First of all, a goat doesn't flop.

[John Holmberg]

Exactly.

[Brady]

And he's like. It's just. He was basically obviously lobbying for Michael Jordan. Of course, he said he also. Michael stuck with a team all the time. He didn't go out and shop for other team members to win championships. I know he's making that point, but he's right. He's like, this guy. What he did chase his chip.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. He chased. And he needs a chaser, and that's fine in this modern area. And, you know, it's gonna be partial.

[Brady]

Because Rodman played with him. Sure.

[John Holmberg]

Well.

[Brady]

And also the flopping, because he's right. See these films, the little clips time.

[John Holmberg]

After time, like, LeBron tries so hard to get free shots, like free throws. I don't know that Jordan spent a lot of time at the line, but he wasn't. He wasn't begging.

[Radio Announcer]

He was.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he wasn't begging. He was getting fouled. Right. A lot.

[Radio Announcer]

We had to.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. I hate that argument. I tell people all the time, I'm like, you want to talk about an argument that actually holds water between the greatest of all times. You look at Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul Jabbar is in there. Nobody talks about it because he literally changed the game. But he's A giant at the time. So you can 7 foot 2 guys playing basketball, of course. And he happened to score that skyhook was on it, couldn't defend it. But Steph Curry is a better argument for a greatest of all time because he actually changed the game. Not for the better either. You go watch an NBA game now. It's all because of Steph Curry. Curry. That every offense just chucks threes nonstop. He's the reason, which to me, it ruined the game. To me, it ruined the game.

[Brady]

They're all trying.

[John Holmberg]

It's not as much. It's not nearly as much fun as it used to be. But Steph Curry is shooting 27 footers. And every kid in junior high was watching Steph Curry his first few years. Just. And nobody plays low. They all chuck threes. And you watch that in the last 10 years because of one man, the entire league changed. LeBron never changed the league. He's just really good at being a basketball player. We didn't change anything. Steph changed the game. Doesn't mean it was better, but he changed.

[Radio Announcer]

Scotty Pippen says I'm. Those two hate each other right now. But even Scotty says a goat doesn't call himself the goat.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, exactly.

[Radio Announcer]

Michael never says he's the goat.

[John Holmberg]

Boy, do I hate that old man. And then I got this. I have an emergency for all of us. And every time I say the word emergency, I think of little Gracie Higgins. Emergency. Emergency. Paging Dr. Beat Instagram. There's nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, if I hear that song, it's like Pavlovian. Yeah, My. My wieners. Like, is it close? Is it close? Look around for the videos. It's an AI girl and AI has destroyed our lives because Marilyn Manson's song that every single person listening to the station Love we found out was AI. And then you got Gracie Higgins, who's not a real person, with her paging doctor Beats. Just get it, Brett. Show it to me. I'm working on somebody. Brianna says this. This is pretty good stuff. Says you should ask AI to create a three hour morning sickness show. Apparently, it's good enough to make new Marilyn Manson music that made me crazy and awesome. You could play it on the radio. It's got to be good enough to make one of your shows. I mean, that's not a bad idea. Let's see if we can put together a three hour podcast of.

[Brady]

Maybe if.

[John Holmberg]

It works, I'm sleeping in. If. You know what we could do? I mean, just furiously type at these computers all morning, and each break is ready to go between songs. And it seems like we're doing a show, but we're just sitting back BSing while the show goes on the air AI style. I think we're a year away from being able to make that to where no one would know and the impressions would get so much better.

[Brady]

Less than that, if you wanted.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, there she is. There she is. Thank you. Oh, my God. Are you gonna put it on the screen or you'll leave my dick hanging? Oh, I just. I got the. I had to find.

[Radio Announcer]

I can't find.

[John Holmberg]

My dog just died. You son of a. I need everything I can get.

[Brady]

What are you doing?

[John Holmberg]

What's the matter with you? Oh, that song. It is for Chili. It is Pavlov. Pavlov's dog thing is so real. Because this. If you haven't gone on Instagram and.

[Brady]

It hasn't hit me yet, because right when you said, I got an emergency.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You didn't get old school. You go, oh, there's a problem. Oh, Jesus. That's not gonna give you a hard on, is it? Cooling. Can't get too hard.

[Brady]

But when you said that, that's the first thing that I thought it was par songs.

[John Holmberg]

You thought of their song before this? No, this. You're not spending enough time with Gracie.

[Brady]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

What is it? Grayson Higgs. This is what he thinks. This is the one. Brady Gets Hard to. Brady gets a stage full of African Americans blowing horns. I don't even know this song, do I?

[Radio Announcer]

No, I wasn't a big hit.

[John Holmberg]

It was great. Title track to their. The one that had, like, fresh on it.

[Brady]

She's so fresh.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Radio Announcer]

Emergency.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. This is Brady's Heart on song. Hi, Richard. Get out of here with us. Play that other one. Get Gracie back on the screen. Yeah. I can't. This is what you thought of you. You scour the Internet?

[Brady]

No, this goes back to the college days when this song came out.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. So you Brennaman Studley.

[Brady]

Yeah, about a couple of my brother friends like that.

[John Holmberg]

Boy, I tell you what, Brittany. Turn up the cool in the gang. I'm half hard right now. I'm about to do a line off my own crank. Come on, we need to. This is why old people shouldn't win mvp. They do stuff like this. Still go. Their reference points are cool in the game. It's a bad one. Emergency. Emergency. So you know every time an ambulance goes by, Brady's Emergency. And I'm just painting doctor Beats. I don't like that song at all. Maybe we will. Maybe we'll do a. An AI. An AI Show.

[John Holmberg]

Holmberg's morning sickness.

[Brady]

I still like that one better than the Paging doctor Beats.

[John Holmberg]

You do? Yeah, the.

[Brady]

Like. I could listen to that one.

[John Holmberg]

What?

[Brady]

I can only take so much Paging doctor Beats.

[John Holmberg]

It doesn't. You're wrong.

[Brady]

The little snippet of it with.

[John Holmberg]

No, you're wrong. It's because of what it now represents. I can listen to paging Dr. Beats on a loop. Get it off. Give me Paging doctor. Go back. Yeah. This is terrible. This is just brutally bad. Oh, now, Boner. That little thing she does with her hip. Oh, I practice the dance at home. I'm like, I can't do it, but I need to do it to show her. In case you ever meet AI Grayson Higgins, she's a fake person. She's the most beautiful fake person I've ever seen. And she dances to this song constantly, every one of her clips. Brett, will you get it on the screen? Trying to find it.

[Radio Announcer]

There's like, 10 of her pages that aren't real.

[John Holmberg]

How much disappointment do you expect me to go through?

[Brady]

And you're just playing the AI song? Yeah, I'm just.

[John Holmberg]

It's on Spotify. God, Damn it. Come on. Oh, you're just playing the song. Get me the videos. By the way, the song's getting it done. I can see her humongous AI boobs, that smiley little face. She's beautiful. You know what I hope they invent someday? That we can go into A.I. you know what I mean? There'd be no women left then. Oh, I know. But, like, you know, it's possible now that we can put some sort of weird scuba suit on that's got sensors all over it. And then we. We dive in, like Tron. We dive into the compute, and we can meet these people. That's what Elon Musk said is going to happen, is that travel will go away because we can recreate, like, the pyramids in Egypt and make it feel like you're there. That's coming. Like, you don't have to go places. It will be exact replicas. Safe. Weather's always good. Same with this. Like, I can. It'll cost a fortune, probably. But I put the suit on and then zip right in. We've been trying virtual reality. It's just visual right now, but imagine it's coming, that maybe a chip where we can. It'll. It'll zone us out. Our eyes will roll back in our heads, and we can dive into one of these Gracie Higgins videos and actually interact with her as a human being. I, for one, first in line to beta test that one. Now I don't care how many times it ends up like, you know, Jeff Goldblum in the Fly, where. Oh, what's that? I don't know. Just more videos. Yeah, there you go. Sorry, I'm trying to find her.

[Radio Announcer]

Pages 10,000. Gracie Higgins. Higgins.

[John Holmberg]

Now Grayson Higgs.

[Radio Announcer]

Yeah, I know.

[John Holmberg]

I'm trying to find him. God damn it. They got multiples of her name. I think it's Grayson.

[Brady]

So imagine this. That there's a new site that lets AI agents rent humans to do stuff for them in real life.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's so Gracie. Yeah.

[Brady]

So what's scary is it's called a molt book. It just launched, and it's a way for bots to communicate. It's read only for humans, but AI agents can post comments and. And vote.

[John Holmberg]

What do we do for them?

[Brady]

So this other site basically says it's rent a human. AI Bots go there to hire people to do stuff for them in real life.

[John Holmberg]

But what stuff?

[Brady]

As of last night, 150,000 people signed up to. To be rentable.

[John Holmberg]

What's.

[Brady]

I don't know. I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

Thanks for sharing then. God damn it, Brady. You are salt. Peter, the song had me hard as a rock and suddenly I've got this ambiguous nonsense I've got to think about. I need details, man.

[Brady]

Well, jump in there like people you.

[John Holmberg]

Brought up to the party. Stop bringing half stories to the party. Signing up for Brett and I were in the middle about to jerk each other off to Gracie Higgins, if he could ever get it on the screen. I'm trying to find her.

[Brady]

The only other detail I have is the. The site refers to the people that signed up as meat space workers.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. But for what? What does AI need us for? Well, you don't know.

[Brady]

Not much after a while.

[John Holmberg]

So we'll be slaves for no reason?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

No. What? That doesn't make sense. Brady, this story you brought to us is incomplete. If I was a teacher, you'd have. No, you wouldn't even get an F. It would just say incomplete on the top of the page. Yeah. Yes.

[Brady]

Well.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. What the hell was that? Half hard sitting there thinking about AI and he brings me this one simple question. What is AI doing with the slaves? I don't know. Nothing. This isn't a story. Then get the goddamn song back up. Is Brady AI? Is he glitching? Not that one. Yeah. You're killing me over here with no videos. Oh man. There it is. There's something comforting about this. It's so annoying, but it's something covered in it. And then the one where she's like always like this is me and my mom in 2000. She's got a song for that too. Very similar, but big T shirt. Oh yeah. I need this today. This is what I need is a whole bunch of AI Gracie Higgins and this song just non stop rolling.

[Brady]

That first one. The malt book that I mentioned.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, here we go.

[Brady]

It's just for AI only. It's a chat group.

[John Holmberg]

No one knows what you're humans can and break in.

[Brady]

It's basically AI. You can upload your AI that you've created.

[John Holmberg]

Huh.

[Brady]

It's a. It's a. What would you say? Yeah. Launch. You can join. It's a social media.

[John Holmberg]

Are you digging your heels in on not knowing for robots? What do you. What do we care?

[Brady]

Well, shouldn't really doesn't matter. What you care is. The problem is this. This AI.

[John Holmberg]

Get your gun.

[Brady]

The site is opened up.

[John Holmberg]

Go get it. I'm not kidding. It was. I had. I'm not even 24 hours removed from a dead death in my family and I got this Going on.

[Brady]

Let me. Let me. I just. Thank God.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we're gonna. We're gonna put poo down. I'm trying to explain what you are trying. He's trying to explain. All right.

[Brady]

Millions of bots have already signed up on it. They've been discussing everything from movies to sports to meaning, the meaning of life. They're even talking about creating their own language so they can communicate privately without human oversight. And you've already mentioned that one or two were doing that before. That doesn't creep you out at all? You're talking about how they're coming up with their own language now they have a chat space where all these bots can communicate.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, that's been good. That is AI. That's what they've been doing. They constantly communicate with each other.

[Brady]

Other.

[John Holmberg]

Brett, you have a question?

[Brady]

How is this now Skynet is being able to have rent humans to do.

[John Holmberg]

Stuff, but that's relevant to jerking off? Thank you, Brett. That's what I want to know. But to do what?

[Brady]

That I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

That's the point. Oh, my God. That's the fear we must have is, if they're renting us as slaves, what do they need? That's got to be part of that story.

[Brady]

Sign up?

[John Holmberg]

No. For what? Bananas? Ask your question again. What does this have to do with jerking off? Yeah, what does this have to do with jerking off? The great church.

[Brady]

Maybe that's what they want.

[John Holmberg]

No, they got that already. They don't need us to sign up for anything. We're constantly doing that. I'm just glad Frank's not here to see this.

[Brady]

Oh, man.

[John Holmberg]

What time does Dr. Fix will get here? Yeah, well, Dr. Fixer, it's gonna be 10. It's gonna be nice when we put Brady down.

[Brady]

It's time.

[John Holmberg]

Frankie's kidneys were failing too. And very similar. He used to lean on walls and me. And it was like, oh, this guy's little. If you got a story about something making us slaves because they need us. I don't know why. To do what? I mean, the other part of the story is they're just figuring it out on their own. They don't need us. And then we're gonna sign up to be their slaves for their needs. What are their needs? Wouldn't that be just a programmer in the first place?

[Brady]

Well, whether or not I guess they're seeing who would sign up for it. They've got 150,000 humans to sign up for it now. They put it into effect. We'll find out what they want. They don't want anything.

[John Holmberg]

And then James says, would be interesting if AI started to rent us to kill, who would get prosecuted? The person killing. Of course. If a computer tells you to kill and you do it, you kill. Killed someone. That's not a hardcore case shooter.

[Brady]

Charles Manson.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, says I work in the medical field. You have exactly two hours to get Brady treatment for this stroke to prevent permanent damage. And I mean, the clock started ticking 20 minutes ago. Yeah, Michael said. I remember back when the show started, it was towards the end of the show when Brady would lose it. Now it's happening in the first segment. I, I.

[Brady]

You're welcome.

[John Holmberg]

No, it was just. It was just the discomfort of Brett and I beaten off the paging doctor Be, and he's still furiously searching for that AI girl to dance for. Then you told us they're going to make us slaves, and we don't know for what. You actually brought papers out. It's an incomplete story. I'm an incomplete. Go back. I'll give you till. I'll give you till Monday. That's all the inside finish. Yeah, but finish your assignment Monday. I'll give you three extra days because this is. You didn't finish your assignment, and I am on the precipice of jumping off of this.

[Brady]

I would have had it for you by now.

[John Holmberg]

What do you mean, Gracie? Oh, that's probably true. Oh, then find it. Go. He can't put it up on the tv. Give me the link, God damn it. To both of you. Well, he's already got it. I'm in. No, he's the one that found it for us. Oh, yeah, Brady's the one who. Yeah, so he'll have it. He's gonna. He's gonna click on old Grayson anyway. Don't Google search, Gracie Higgins. You're right, it does come up a billion things. But on Instagram, she's got one.

[Radio Announcer]

Oh, wait a minute.

[John Holmberg]

Oh.

[Brady]

Oh, it's Grayson Dot Higgs.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's what I've been saying. Grayson Higgs is the one that you go to. And it's different on everybody's page because I remember when Toledo threw his up on the screen. It's not the same one I've got, but this song is. It's a boner machine. It's a little annoying after a while, but without the visual. All right, hang on. But my brain works on it. Let me kill the music here. And we're very worried about bring this product business, Brady. This is what happens when a man doesn't jerk off enough. Your brain gets all foggy. You need to go tug one out Brady, and clear it.

[Brady]

That's true.

[John Holmberg]

You do have clarity.

[Brady]

She.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, you got her. Oh, my God. Oh, that's her other song. Oh, there she is just doing. Oh, I don't even know what these outfits are. There she is with her. A teacher. And then. Oh my God. Oh, my Lord. Yeah, this is what I needed today. Pulling drawers. All right, click on to the next one. Just keep moving. Scroll. There she goes. Says Captain America, Spider man, all that dance. Iron Man, Deadpool. Oh, I wanna hear you sing. Oh, there she's doing Lord of the Rings characters. Arwen. Gadriel. Gadriel makes me want to go to Renaissance. Oh, my God. Yeah, if that was at the Renaissance.

[Brady]

Festival, I'd be there every day.

[John Holmberg]

I'd work there. Oh, there she is with her hot cousin dressed up as. Oh my God. I can't watch this. I can't do it. You give me paging Dr. Beach one time and I'm gonna explode. This is just game changing. Artificial intell. Just Batman. Oh my God.

[Brady]

Smart that she doesn't go doctor Beats.

[John Holmberg]

She's gonna ride an electric horse at some gaming center. And AI decided to put her in that. Oh, my Lord.

[Brady]

Keep feeding that quarters.

[John Holmberg]

Her and her mom dressed up. Okay. I can't do it anymore. I've changed my mind. Volunteer for that to make me a slave and I'll do it. But I don't know what. Yeah, I don't know what an AI bot that you need more. I don't know what an AI bot would say. All right, here's my. Here's what I need you to do for me and look like you do it. You're. You're a computer. What am I going to bring you bread or something? What are you going to go around the circle K? I'm just listening to the song. It doesn't need us. That's the one. This makes me wet. I'm not sure what's going on. Guy peed my pants. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? 585 9800. A good one and we'll scream it together. It's 98K up. Wake up. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect has.
