Date: February 9, 2026
Hosts: John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo

Episode Overview

This lively Monday episode brings John, Brady, Bret, and Toledo back after Super Bowl Sunday and the Phoenix Open weekend in Arizona. The crew discusses everything from the lackluster Super Bowl game, the divisive Bad Bunny halftime show, and the mass migration of visitors to Phoenix for big events. The hosts share irreverent takes on sports, pop culture, and local life, while taking listeners through their comically “honest” advice segments and riffing on current events. As always, the tone is brash, sarcastic, rapid-fire, and proudly unfiltered.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Phoenix Open & Super Bowl Recap

• [00:39-03:11]
  • Praise for the Phoenix Open’s festive vibe, but also a plea for out-of-towners to go home:
    • “It’s enough of you clogging up all the roads… house guests are like fish. After three days you start to stink. Time to go.” – John [00:53]
  • The Open’s "collapse-o-rama" finish is discussed, alongside a consensus that the Super Bowl was a slog.
    • “That Seahawks team is young and they’re really good and they’re going to get better… Cardinals are in trouble.” – John [03:45]
  • Humor and joy at Boston fans’ misery and a dig at “punchable” personalities in the NFL.

2. Super Bowl Halftime Show: Bad Bunny Controversy

• [05:56-12:38 | 13:54-18:40]
  • Hosts debate the backlash – was it racism, or just discomfort with a Spanish-language performance for an English-speaking majority?
    • “A foreign language film, which is essentially what they threw in front of us… doesn’t make you racist to hate it.” – John [06:26]
    • “I don’t know Bad Bunny’s songs… It looked like a fun thing. The wedding was a cool idea.” – John [08:00]
  • The hosts note that while some attendees enjoyed it, most of the crowd was disengaged, with a split in perception drawn along cultural/linguistic lines.
  • Brady and John agree that unfamiliarity, not animosity, drove the lukewarm response:
    • “People don’t gravitate towards stuff they don’t know.” – John [12:00]
  • NFL’s push for international appeal (Mexico as a future franchise site) is discussed.
• Memorable Moment:
  • Debate over whether Americans would embrace a half-English/half-Spanish set:
    • “Americans don’t like foreign language stuff.” – John [21:19]

3. Super Bowl Commercials & Cultural Reactions

• [68:22-83:39]
  • The hosts review and roast the commercials, noting few standouts.
    • “The one I liked the most was the Jurassic Park one… picked everybody up.” – John [69:11]
  • Most discussed:
    • The “Dirty Jew” ad for Blue Square, which the crew finds awkward and likely ineffective.
      • “When you see the words Dirty Jew… this is not gonna go in a good direction.” – John [77:00]
      • “Who’s racist and watches a commercial and goes, ‘Oh yeah, I’m not going to do that anymore’?” – John [82:34]
  • Other notable ads: AI-laden Dunkin’ spot, state farm with Bon Jovi, a bizarro manscaped ad, and a Budweiser Clydesdale & Eagle spot that gets a loving, slightly redneck breakdown.

4. Locals vs. Transplants & Arizona Identity

• [23:58-29:46]
  • John humorously rails against the Arizona influx:
    • “This is a transitional place for women who have been broken up with... If you move here from Buffalo, first question in the interview: ‘What was his name?’”
  • Local advice: don’t hire recent transplants.
  • Running gag: Make Arizona seem less desirable to keep “the pores away” and preserve the party for locals.

5. Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft, and Relationship Roasts

• [31:55-36:29]
  • Hosts analyze a “dig” at Robert Kraft: Belichick’s girlfriend wears a “Orchids of Asia Day Spa” t-shirt (site of Kraft’s old legal troubles).
    • “Bill Belichick smiles a lot now, which tells you all you need to know about what’s going on with him and his girlfriend.”
  • Extended riff on old men, age-gap dating, and double standards.

6. Listener Engagement & Giveaways

• [36:30-38:03; 94:56-98:07]
  • Launch of the Nine Inch Nails party suite giveaway for the show’s 25th anniversary; codes, app confusion, and self-aware radio promo banter.
    • “We’re just going to give you guys tons of cool stuff, as much as we can to celebrate 25 years of this stupid show…”

7. Honesty, Friendship, and the Art of Telling Hard Truths

• [127:51-129:16]
  • John reads an email from “Dylan” about tough love helping him lose weight:
    • “Get your fat ass in the gym. That’s what friends do.”
  • Extended riff on when honesty is (or isn’t) called for with friends and partners.

8. Irreverent Advice: What Would Brady Do?

• [135:13-158:37]
  • Real listener dilemmas, answered Holmberg-style:
    • Office politics and how to stay out of the trap: “Earbuds. Stop talking to people at work.” – John [139:38]
    • The father of a “whorish” teenage daughter wonders if a fake abduction will teach her to dress more modestly.
    • A man whose wife has cut him off sexually asks about hiring escorts (and using credit cards to do so): group agrees, “cash only” for prostitutes.
    • Perennial topics: “Better to cut the check in a divorce or keep the peace?” “How to deal with dead bedrooms in marriage?”
  • The tone is brutally blunt, mocking, and at times, outright crude.

9. Arizona, State Identity & Local Color

• [28:33-30:26]
  • John satirically claims Arizona is best as a “beautiful hotel.” He insists, “We’re full!”
  • Encourages spreading rumors (“constant human trafficking”) to keep out prospective migrants.

10. Pop Culture, Social Cynicism, and "Conspiracy" Rants

• [53:26-66:46]
  • John picks apart national headlines, especially the Savannah Guthrie ransom story, finding movie-script parallels and questioning authenticity.
    • “Her plea… ‘She is full of kindness and knowledge, talk to her and you’ll see.’” [53:53]
    • “That’s the senator from Silence of the Lambs…” [54:20]
  • General suspicion toward clickbait news, childhood “kids in wells” stories, and public safety.

Hello there. Welcome to Monday. It is 5:45. It's the morning sickness. My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett. There's Big Dick Toledo. What a beautiful weekend. The Phoenix Open was awesome. Now go the home everybody. It's enough of you clogging up all the roads. And get your asses back to whatever cold igloo you came from and get back in your stupid homes, turn the heat on and talk about how nice it is here. Get out. Get out. I am Phoenix Ice. I don't care what color you are. You're leaving. You're not a resident of Phoenix. Time to go. I've had was lovely having you for four days, but house guests are like fish. After three days you start to stink. Time to go.

[Brett Vesely]

Thanks for spending your money.

[John Holmberg]

Get out. Thank you. That's right. And the guy who can't wait to get out first. And the biggest sporting event of the weekend is Matsuyama. Is that who oh my God. The guy had the hole open in his hands and he, and he just effed it up twice on two holes. On one of the easier holes to 18. Wow, it was great to watch that Phoenix open was a collapse over time and yeah, just, just play it safe, man. But yeah, he, he ate poop on the. It was a very exciting finish and we needed some excitement because as we all know, the super bowl was last night and it was a boring football game and I mean like I'd take a blowout where there's a lot going on over what we watched for three quarters and then just kind of a thing. Now Toledo as a Seahawks fan beaming and I, you know my Steelers won a Super bowl against these Seahawks 20 years ago. That was dreadful to watch for everybody, unless you're a Steelers fan. It was a terrible game. Last night was no different. And great defense, terrible offense combining forces right in front of us. It was brutal to watch the super bowl party we threw downtown. People left like it was pretty full, like almost all the way full.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

By the third quarter, little more than half because it's like I can get some things done sitting watch nine to nothing football. I just have this on in the background. I'm not going to spend any more money on drinks and goofing around now. We gave away a ton of prizes though. I guess that made it better for a lot of people. But man, oh man, was that a bad football game for the non fan of either team. One thing I walk away from last night's game saying, Cardinals are in trouble for a long time. That Seahawks team is young and they're really good and they're going to get better and they already got one and they did it in the window of the what, seven rookies. And well over the last two or three years they've got like eight guys who have been drafted that are now starters. That team is not going to go away anytime soon so long as Sam Darnold is what he is. And my joy that there are so many people from Boston sad today is again, hate breeds happiness for me. I hate the Patriots. I hate little Josh McDaniel. I don't like Drake May Brett and I have the both. We both look at his face like, ooh, he's got one of them punch. And then I saw him standing next to that awful Little turd Josh McDaniel on the sideline and I'm like, oh, that's like the most punchable duo ever. And. And I'm happy because lots of Dave Portnoy clones are walking around.

[Brady]

I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready for that. To go to the next level.

[John Holmberg]

What to go. There are loads of Dave Portnoyes when they're sad, I'm happy. I love when I see little Bostonian troll. Like 5 foot, 6 inch, trolley bearded brah guys. Kid. Hey, kid. Don't call me that anymore. Portnoy's are unhappy. Bostonians are unhappy. And that makes me happy. I don't care who they were playing the Seahawks. I don't care. They're. I'm indifferent about that.

[Brett Vesely]

How many people were just crying about.

[John Holmberg]

Drake May's gonna win? 5. But Tommy. Tommy would have got that one. Ah, Drake, kid. Come on, kid.

[Brett Vesely]

Most punchable face since Jay Cutler rage back.

[John Holmberg]

I thought Jay Cutler was just like. He had a punchable face, but not like this. Yeah, he had more of that than Drake May has that smug little C word face. I just want to slug him. He's just. He just looks like. He looks like a central casting would make him the. The turd. Like the guy that. That is. You're supposed to hate. And the girl's supposed to date him and like our boyfriend's awful. And then she goes and finds a regular fella.

[Brett Vesely]

Be like Johnny from Karate Kid.

[John Holmberg]

Yes. He was just that. You're just a douche. And then his buddy is Josh McDaniel. So you got double toady.

[Brady]

Did you see the great interviews with Belichick about the whole game? I know.

[John Holmberg]

Well, no, they're not talking to him at all. He. He's turning everybody down. So it was an interesting, interesting dynamic between what was and what is but fun to watch. And then of course, everybody's screaming and yelling about the halftime show, which I think everybody made up their mind before they saw it. And there will be people who will pretend you're racist. And some of you are. That didn't want Bad Bunny to perform because he's not going to sing An English Letter. It could have been entertaining. Look, I watched the whole thing. I thought to myself, this might be good. But it's an awful lot to ask 90% of America to enjoy a foreign language film, which is essentially what they threw in front of us, you know, without subtitles. So you're like, maybe this is good, maybe this isn't. I don't understand. You know I'm Swedish, right? So if they put A Swedish life. If Per Korkaku was up there singing in Swedish, I'd be like, it's my heritage. But I don't know what they're doing. I don't. Everybody sat quietly. I got texts from people who were at the game, like, just kind of scanning across while Bad Bunny was singing. And the music's going in the background. Nobody. Everybody's kind of like, I don't know what this is. It doesn't make you racist to hate it. It just makes you. You're watching a foreign language film and try to try to find excitement in that. With most people, not one per.

[Brady]

There's probably six people in the room at our place, at our party.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

But I think it was one of the. His first time that halftime that I heard he. He better do this song.

[John Holmberg]

No one ever again. You were. And he's a wildly successful performer. The dude has got, you know. And evidently it. You know, if it's not what you listen to. I don't listen. I sing along to songs I like. I can't like. I don't like Rammstein. Like the German ones. I skip them for the most part. A couple of them I'll go through because I just find them hysterical. But I don't know Bad Bunny's songs. And I don't know that they're mass. Mass appeal enough to have people bouncing in their chairs. It looked like a fun thing. The wedding was a cool idea.

[Brady]

It was real.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And he signed the marriage.

[John Holmberg]

The cool part about that was they invited him to the wedding and he said, how about this? They just goof said, we'll just send an invite to Bad Bunny. He got it. And he said, what if I do this for you? So he actually did get married on the field, which is a neat idea. And it seemed, you know what, it seemed light hearted. It seemed kind of fun. I think people were angry going in, so they're gonna hate it right away.

[Brady]

It was cool the way they kind of filmed it.

[John Holmberg]

No, it was. Yeah. But again, we were at the. We were downtown at Copper Blues and no one dancing, bobbing their heads, nothing. Just kind of staring. There was a table of people who clearly spoke Spanish. Really enjoying it. I'm like, okay, if that's the target audience. You've accidentally politicized this with half of the country thinking that it's against them. And I think that was the big thing. I think people saw the Bad Bunny thing as being against them rather than, you know, pro America. He's from Puerto Rico. It's America. But it's the language a lot of.

[Brady]

People don't realize too is. I mean, Goodell during, you know, some of the interviews talked again, talked about the expansion.

[John Holmberg]

Right. He wants to be international.

[Brady]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

And Mexico is a target and that is a huge target. It's a great big 20 million person city that they're looking at Mexico City saying there's a ton of money down here.

[Brady]

Wouldn't be that hard to get games down there. You know, throwing it off. I mean, we're doing.

[John Holmberg]

No.

[Brady]

How many? Three or four or two.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, you get a couple down to Brazil. I mean, they're trying to get everything. And I, you know, I get it, I get it. But America is not. We're kind of notorious for. We speak slowly to people who speak multiple languages as if they're stupid when they're trying to learn English. We're like, listen to me. Oh. Like we, we are condescending jerks about you not speaking our language. But it is our language. And you know, so I see why people like, well, I'm just not even going to try. It makes you feel kind of dumb and out of touch and people want to make it about, you know, the trans thing. That's. That's you making up your mind way before. He didn't do anything like that. In fairness to Bad Bunny. He didn't. I didn't. I did not see politics. They tried to say that that little boy, which I found was hysterical, was the five year old detained by ice a couple weeks ago. And like, no. The news had to like, stop it. Everybody online. No, that's not because they wanted it to be political. Like there's a whole faction of people going get them and a whole bunch of them saying, he's gonna do this. It was meh all the way around. I just thought it was kind of remember the, the, you know, I mean, that was one of the best super bowl halftime shows ever. But Dr. Dre and Snoop and that how the room just bounced. Everybody was dancing, singing, place was going crazy. And that's what we kind of look for with those mass shows and nobody was singing. Everybody was kind of there. Telemundo probably had a through the moon night because that's NBC. They probably put that everybody was losing their mind. So at least he didn't go crazy with, you know, and I didn't think he would.

[Brady]

The politics because there's some heritage behind it too for that fact that like, oh, this is amazing. They're doing this here in the U.S. sure.

[John Holmberg]

But it's an awful lot to ask the United States of America to go, hey, here's a. There's tons of stuff you don't understand now, like it or Else. And I think people immediately threw their hands up and stopped it. Then you go over to the Turning Point USA Kid Rock thing. I only saw a clip. I didn't see hardly any of it.

[Brady]

Yeah, they said 4.8 million tuned in.

[John Holmberg]

They tuned in.

[Brady]

It's pretty good.

[John Holmberg]

I mean it's not a huge. It's not a name I'm gonna run to. Kid Rock is fine, but it's not something we're run. You had it over at Matthias Bar. You said it was.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, she had it on both. She had it on both. So people could go to this side to watch it, you know, so. Yeah, and there were some people that.

[John Holmberg]

Were just a. Nope, I'm going over to watch Turning Point. Yeah, of course, you know, okay, fine. That's because they saw it as an affront to their Americanism to have guys speaking another language.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't know if it was or not because I couldn't understand what he was saying. So I mean, you know, I mean.

[John Holmberg]

I don't think he would be honest with you.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm not.

[John Holmberg]

Just because, yeah, just because it was Spanish though. People are like, well this is against me. Right? That's not. He could have been screwed that it's.

[Brett Vesely]

Not for them because it's like I can't understand what he's saying. Which is kind of where I was.

[John Holmberg]

Me too.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm not against him, whatever.

[Brady]

But I tried to order.

[John Holmberg]

Well, Brady went right to the doordash and tried to get some Mexican food. But yeah, it's. Yeah, that's the big thing to me is that it's. Everybody wants to make it a huge deal and I don't know that it was. I tried to be open minded about it. Go, if this guy entertains me, I'm gonna walk away saying great job. If he doesn't, I'm gonna. It's not racist. But that's where we're at.

[Brady]

Is that his, his whole thing didn't suck?

[John Holmberg]

I just didn't like it.

[Brady]

His whole thing was to, you know, everyone's gonna dance. You're going to want to dance. When you see this show, you guys.

[Brett Vesely]

Didn'T see anybody dancing, did you know?

[John Holmberg]

We saw everybody going, when do we dance? Like. Because I can, I can hear tribal beats. I know what drums are. But if I don't, you know, it was unfamiliar. I think that's, that's radio's biggest. Like when we do research and stuff, the biggest knock against everything is they're unfamiliar people. People don't gravitate towards stuff they don't know. They push away most of the time. Unless it's like, just immediately, holy crap, that's great. And that's rare.

[Brady]

I did hear Ricky Martin look good.

[John Holmberg]

He did look good. Ricky showed up. Lady Gaga did not between the two of them, at a boned Ricky before. And I bet she's better at it. Yeah. So I don't know. But back to the game, which was just all Seahawks all the time. And congratulations to Seattle fans, you're harmless.

[Brady]

I missed him. But evidently Pascal was there in the mix.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. I stopped paying attention, to be honest with. I started a conversation with a dude down there as a cop, and we started chatting during the Bad Bunny thing. And it was more interesting to have a conversation than it was to pay attention to that. I watched for a little bit. I'm like, well, I'm out.

[Brady]

And Jessica Alba.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. But you know what I didn't hear last night? Anybody going, I hate that Spanish. Like, nobody was mad, but the news will make you think it was some big divisive thing. I think it's just people are like, all right. And Brady said off there, he's like, I think the news is afraid to say whether it was bad. And they probably are. They're probably afraid to go, that Bad Bunny thing sucked. You can say it sucked. It's fine. I. I thought the Black Eyed Peas sucked. Doesn't mean I hate black people or former prostitutes. Yeah. I just didn't think that was a good performance. The bass was bad. I mean, I was in the building. That show was horrible. Slash's guitar room. I thought it was gonna break the speakers. It was so overdone. It just over modulated. It sounded horrible in the stadium. Just horrible. And same thing happened there. I'm in the building. I'm like, I'm gonna go grab a beer. I don't care to hear another bit of this. And I walked into the concourse where it was a little quieter because, I mean, that thing was too. It was bad, but it looked really.

[Brady]

Good for San Jose. Oh, I'm sorry. San Francisco.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Well, Santa Clara, whatever. It's not anywhere near San Francisco. It's an hour away.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, is it that far?

[John Holmberg]

Pretty far.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

But yeah. Seahawk fans, congratulations. Patriot fans, suck it. No one likes you. No one has off. You're from Boston. I love it. I love it. But yeah, I mean, I saw a guy last night online, like, I. I'm Portuguese. I don't speak the language. So when my family starts doing stuff, I don't Understand? I kind of just sit quietly. And that's what I did with Bad Bunny. I'm like, all right, this is for someone else. And it's every year that this happens. Like, somebody's gonna hate Dr. Dre. Somebody said, this is not rap music. As always. It's gonna be a genre of music, country music. You'd lose me. The second one of those twangy hillbillies starts rocking something dumb about their family. Mang. Tank, bear, beer, beer. I'm out.

[Brady]

Do they go back?

[John Holmberg]

That's for retarded people. And I'm not interested in that audience either. Do they go back to Bad Bunny?

[Brady]

No, just a. More of an American thing, you know? Well, what I'm saying is the core audience that they figured the reason why they're not doing country, they go redneck. It's like, we've got that audience.

[John Holmberg]

They've got. Exactly.

[Brady]

Try to expand the audience.

[John Holmberg]

They've got to go a little bit more, appease the. The fans. But again, I guess it's going to.

[Brett Vesely]

Depend on if that 5 million that turned over to Turning Point means anything to the NFL.

[John Holmberg]

It doesn't.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

110 million people app. You know who probably is the biggest loser in this is Apple, because I don't know that a ton of people, like, normally there's a huge boost in sales for that. The halftime performers, records. And like, they go to Apple. I don't know that a bunch of people ran off to say, oh, my gosh, Bad Bunny sold me on all of his stuff. Probably it'll have a nice spike, but not like normal. I remember the one time Tom Petty, like, everybody downloaded everything. The next day is top five songs in the country.

[Brady]

That's why they do it free, basically.

[Dick Toledo]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

It's like you're gonna. You're going to sell some stuff. And I'm sure he did. And maybe internationally it goes crazy. I don't know. But I don't think here. I don't think anybody last night went to their phone and said, I'm gonna get a bunch of Bad Bunny albums. It's fine. It's good for what it is. But, you know, you ever go to one of those Mexican concerts down at the arena either. I don't speak the language, but I have been down there when bad money is at, you know, the mortgage matchup center Footprint America this week, and it's packed full of people.

[Brady]

The closest one I went to years ago was Gypsy Kings. Yeah, the fun show.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Did say that I just got this Bad Bunny on Apple Music had a surge immediately following performance. Streams increased seven times and three of his songs saw high spikes. The performance set new records for engagement. Wow, that's surprising. So the press conference garnered 63 million views. Again, that is the cell. That's good politics. That is the one watching to see if he slips. First artist to perform an entirely Spanish language halftime show. Yeah, I guess, you know, yeah, you get a nice bounce. It says, let's see. And this is the thing that I think they're just trying to sell me. It says, bad Bunny's performance is a major, unforgettable and global moment in music history. It's just you telling me how great it was rather than me having my own opinion. And I just didn't think it was. I'm sure it was fine to the point.

[Brett Vesely]

But what news outlet put that that? Because I'm sure I can go right across the street and find, you know, the exact opposite.

[John Holmberg]

We'll get stats that say, oh, compared to this, it was nothing. You know, I am. I don't know. But all in all, I think that was a real forgettable night. And that's the one thing about Bad Bunny to me was other than the political thing and other than the controversy, that didn't happen. It was just forgettable. It was just kind of like. And then we'll all go back and go, remember that one year Bad Bunny was there, man, to me, the thing you can suffer the worst when you are on a stage that large is to be bland or boring. And I didn't find it to be exciting, and I didn't think it was bad. So you're somewhere in that weird middle of just milquetoast.

[Brady]

And this one for me, opened my eyes more on why the network paid so much money to have the super bowl for NBC. The timing of it. I mean, to promote not only their product, but the Olympics.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it's on a rotation. It just happened to land.

[Brady]

Yeah, their timing was.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it worked out great. But again, you know, they can keep doing that. This one says, your boy Trump Tard. Not my boy. Your boy Trump Tard made it divisive like he does everything else. And MAGA followed suit and was quick to comment after the halftime show. He didn't even watch Robert James Richie Jr. He didn't. He was commenting heavily on the Bad Bunnies.

[Brady]

I didn't see any comment on that.

[John Holmberg]

Trump did. Trump went crazy. He went on Bad Bunny. Yeah, and which means he didn't watch the turning point, USA1, or if he did he did a tape delay and didn't need to.

[Brady]

I know Bob is going to do a great job.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. It's weird. This one said, I remember Rihanna's halftime show. It made me appreciate Chris Brown kicking her ass. And I'm like, that's too far, Carl. Carl, that's too far. But you know what, you're allowed to say stuff about things you don't like. I just don't like when people pre determine how they're gonna feel and then watch it to cement their feelings rather than just go in and go, let's see if he surprises me. See if it's any good. I, you know, it was.

[Brady]

I don't think there was. Was there a huge faction that was coming into, like, maybe he'll win me over.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no. I think people had their own minds were made up.

[Brady]

Preset.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Minds were made up.

[Brett Vesely]

I wonder what if it would have made a difference if he would have came in there and done half his set in English and half a set in Spanish?

[John Holmberg]

Well, if he did, yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

You know where other people can maybe go, okay, I kind of know what he's talking about. I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

You don't like squid games? No, because it's too hard to like follow.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't like subtitles.

[John Holmberg]

And you don't want to read, Right?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Americans don't like foreign language stuff.

[Brady]

I tell you talk about it's cut in half, maybe even higher.

[John Holmberg]

And I say Americans. He's Puerto Rican. That's America. Yeah, but you know what I'm saying? Like with our language, like English speaking everything, we, we get mad when they change signs. You know, we're going to put some Spanish on some of these. Hell you are.

[Brett Vesely]

So Iris says bad bunny looks like Latin. Screech.

[John Holmberg]

There's some of that. Visit Homeburg's morning sickness [e-mail] well, it'.

[John Holmberg]

Holmberg's Morning Sickness I did enjoy at the super bowl party last night at Copper Blues, and thanks to Copper Blues for helping us with that. How many people were wondering if the two or three black guys there were Rodney Brady's home servants? Yeah, a lot of people. I see. Yeah. Yeah. And if you were black last night and at Copper Blues, at one point or another, somebody said, is that Rodney to me? And pointed to you. So I apologize to anybody of color because Rodney Brady's indentured servant was not there.

[Brady]

And it's a fantastic job. Friday, did he.

[John Holmberg]

He came by Friday.

[Brady]

Even after all the way they open, I didn't pleasantly surprised. He says, hey, can I come over and do the house today?

[John Holmberg]

And you weren't home to make it really awkward because you were at the Phoenix Open on. Oh, fantastic work. Then.

[Brett Vesely]

When's he coming back?

[Brady]

Probably this Friday.

[John Holmberg]

All right. Yeah. The Phoenix Open. Man, what a weekend for the Phoenix Open. Scary, too, because it looked so good on TV and it really highlighted how beautiful it is here. And that always scares me that a girl who's just been broken up with somewhere in Buffalo.

[Brady]

It was a showcase.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Is looking at that or has it on with her deck because she's back with her parents because she's crying and had to move out of her apartment. And she goes, that's where I need to be. This is a transitional place for women who have been broken up with and then they come out here for a little while and wreck everything and then go back and never hire them. That's the key. If somebody says, I just moved here from Buffalo. First question in the job interview. Oh, what was his name? What? The guy who broke up with you that made you have to leave Buffalo because you felt like you needed a new start. Oh, Kevin. Yeah. And you're gonna work here for four months and you're gonna miss Buffalo and you're gonna say dumb stuff like I miss seasons because your untanned fat skin is not gonna know what to do with itself come July. So let's just get you through a year before you can have a job because you're just wasting all these employers time. You're gonna have to doordash if you're, if you're moving here from Buffalo or someplace. Freezing cold, miserable Rochester, northern Pennsylvania, Minnesota. If you're looking at our weather and you're like, oh, this is the place for me. A rude awakening coming your white way in a little bit. And also, you can't have a job until you've been here for a year. That should be. That should. Those are one of my Arizona rules. Unless you came in with a job, you can't just show up here and start applying because you're going home. You're wrecking it. Best advice I ever got from Bill Osborne at Tony Romas. When you're interviewing people for a job, make sure they've been here for a while and make sure that they're still not lamenting the relationship they left in Ice Coldsville. What does that mean, Bill? Well, you wanted to hire someone, so we let you get it. And who did you hire? A cute girl from Buffalo named Tanya. Yeah, well, dig deeper, son. She's here cuz her boyfriend bailed on her and she'll be gone by August. So start the interview process again. It's true. I miss Buffalo. That's all you started to hear somewhere around July 4th. I just miss Buffalo so much. Summer's in Buffalo. Like, oh God, I've made a horrible error. Sorry.

[Brady]

I'm gonna have to set you free.

[John Holmberg]

I'm gonna have to send you back to Buffalo. Am I saying it wrong? What's Buffalo? Buffalo no go home. And the ones who stayed are just angry they brought Buffalo with them. Yeah, so that. That damn golf tournament makes it look like 16.

[Brady]

Unbelievable.

[John Holmberg]

We look like we are having the greatest time of our lives in this city. The weather's perfect, everybody's drunk, we're all dancing and singing and having a party at a golf tournament. We can have that much fun at a golf tournament. The rest of the country looks at that and says, why am I not there? And then they drag their problems over. We're full. All full up. That's why I always want to, you know this. Make it happen. Keep whitey away. And then this. Keep the pores away. Make it seem like we're a bunch of rednecks fighting with Mexicans. That's all we need to be. It looks too Happy on tv. If we could drive around with the news doing that all the time. I've done this for years now. Please make it look like we are just lost. But I watched some of that tournament yesterday before I left the house. And I'm like, this is chamber of commerce awesome. And every shot of the crowd is all smiles, like I'm in heaven. This is great. Oh, no, you're silly.

[Brady]

They hit their tee shot on 16 and they walk through the desert landscaping there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Don't look real.

[John Holmberg]

All those people that sit at home with a cup of the hottest drink ever and they look out their window and it's all dead trees and a white like deathscape from the last snow bomb. What do they call the bomb? Cyclones that rolled through their house and they're barely alive and they've got ski caps on inside and they see that landscape, it's, oh, I'm going to Mars. I'm gonna go to Mars. And then they leave. They have the nerve to pull out of a shot and go, we'll be right back with more people's open waste management in Phoenix. And they show a shot of Sedona. Like, no, that's a different city. You can't do that.

[Brady]

My brother in law reached out to me. Are you on 16? No, I turned. I got other things to do.

[John Holmberg]

I'm so tired of that thing making me happy and having fun and drink. I go every year, but, yeah, I don't want to go every day. It's a hassle. How's it where you are in Cleveland? Gray.

[Brett Vesely]

Weird.

[John Holmberg]

Scary. Yeah, well, I'm gonna go outside in shorts now and wander around my top off, my car that I've had off all winter long. Yeah. I tell them everything's awful if anybody calls me. Oh, it's been terrible. The ice we've gotten. You guys have ice storms. We've just got nothing but political strife in the streets. We're so used to it, it doesn't even make the news.

[Brady]

Borders are crazy.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, My uncle's like, what? Oh, my God, we're right on the border. Those. Those people are flooding in here just raping and robbing everybody. And I keep them away. You're welcome, by the way. I'm keeping Indiana in Indiana. I talked to my aunts and uncles over there. Would you really like to visit? That's a terrible idea. I just get raped and abducted. It's human trafficking. It's all we do. I go in the house. It's too bad we can't enjoy the weather. We go in the house or we're going to get trafficked. I mean, you saw it. Savannah guthrie's mom, she can't even get. 85 year olds aren't even safe from the trafficking. We don't know what's going on. And they're like, geez, I better stay here. And then they start spreading that. Because that's what people do. They start telling, you know, I have a nephew who lives over there in arizona, says it's just constant human traffic. You don't say. And they eat it right up. And then they stay home. We are. We are what we are. What Arizona is, is a beautif hotel. This isn't permanent. We all stayed. Now you can. We're full. It's full. Five million's plenty. We don't need to jump up to seven or eight and bring your white skin and your terrible politics or your awful ideas or your weird, strange buffalo rituals. I'm sorry your recent breakup didn't go well. We're not a fresh start. It's just hot.

[Brett Vesely]

I was getting. I was getting text messages from my cousins in chicago about the whole guthrie thing, and I'm like, I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

Just tell them it's constant.

[Brett Vesely]

I said, they're in Tucson and that place is an.

[John Holmberg]

Here's my answer to that. If any. If any relatives go, what do you think of that Savannah guthrie thing? I'm like, man, I'm surprised it made the news because it's constant. Like, she's like one of 30. That day that got nabbed up, they're just eating them a lot, Especially elderly people. They just nab them up, and I think they're eating them and then just start the rumors and keep them away. Usually it's somebody with a fresh start mentality. And they're not. They're a mess. So they just got nothing but trouble coming. And then they're going to be your relatives. That pop box just, you know, I thought it was going to be better here. So brown.

[Brady]

I'm getting along well in my neighborhood because the guys, the cartel members that are my neighbors, are pretty cool.

[Dick Toledo]

Sure.

[John Holmberg]

For now. So they turn. They're gonna. They're gonna turn. And you'll hear it the day they drive away. Oh, boy. Enjoy your trip to the airport, everybody. You're welcome to stay and spend some money down at the arrogant butcher and stand up live and all that, and then get out. Go talk to two guys from Houston last night, like, you guys here for business? Oh, they can' Went to the open, like, yeah, we Showed up for the open. We got some work to do tomorrow. We're getting out of here. And I'm like, thank you. He's like, what? And I'm like, thanks for leaving. Like, what? Like you're from Houston. It's. You're good. It's humid, nasty. You get a couple of hurricanes now and again, but yeah, we need to start with. We don't have bad situations happen here where there's tornadoes and hurricanes. It starts weighing on you. Good stuff. One thing we did notice this weekend, that was probably best. The best part of sports ever. Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, went to a North Carolina basketball game dressed in a T shirt. That is the. It was basically the place where Robert Kraft got his hand job. Remember that? Owner of the Patriots got the hand job a few years ago. She found a T shirt. That is the orchids. It's the logo. It's the logo of. Of the place that he got the hand job. So it kind of was an announcement. It's the. Yeah. Orchids of Asia dayspa is the. It's kind of an announcement.

[Brady]

Believe it.

[John Holmberg]

Belichick.

[Brady]

Is this a. Is this Photoshopped?

[John Holmberg]

And Bill standing right next to her with a big smile on his face? And again, Bill Belichick smiles a lot now, which tells you all you need to know about what's going on with him and his girlfriend. He's happy. And, you know, a woman chooses an older man and it's preference. A man chooses a younger woman, and it is perversion. So some. Somewhere along the line, there's not a. It's a mix up. And then he's like, she went into that room, Bill, you want me to wear this T shirt? And he's like, the guy's an asshole. Sure enough, that tells me an awful lot about the Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick situation. There's a. There's some animosity there. That was a fantastic dig. And there it is. The Orchids of Asia Day Spa. She went and found that T shirt and then stood next to Bill Belichick at the school he works at and proudly displayed it like, F you, Robert Kraft. Now, keep in mind, nobody gives Robert Kraft guff. He's 84. His girlfriend's 53. Yeah, Belichick's a riot. He's getting fatter. Like, he's so happy. She doesn't look. She can be there for the money. She's making that man happy. And I think she seems pretty happy with the exchange. He seemed. I've never said this. He Seems so fun now. Look at. Every picture is like that movie where everybody gets that smile, that horror movie. It's him. He can't stop smiling.

[Brett Vesely]

Nice.

[John Holmberg]

And then he gets back in the car. It was a great dig. That's gonna make all the Internets. We're gonna be viral. Everybody's gonna be grouchy about that. I find it great. Let's go have a ton of sex.

[Brady]

Let's get on the team bus.

[John Holmberg]

Let's get on this. Let's get on the North Carolina bus.

[Brett Vesely]

And then.

[John Holmberg]

And then later, have lots and lots of elderly people sex.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm more impressed that she was able to find a rub and tug T shirt from that place.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, she probably had it. I don't think they're really firing them out over there at Teemu.

[Brett Vesely]

You get a free. You get a free T shirt when you spend 25.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, man.

[Brady]

Punch card.

[John Holmberg]

Whatever she did was like, billy had this made. That's hilarious. We're gonna use that everywhere. That's that hand job thing. Got in trouble with that.

[Brady]

You find out that's where they met.

[John Holmberg]

Fine, whatever. Look at how happy that man is. And I don't know if he's on erectile dysfunction. I think she might be the cure. You take all the Viagra you want. I think that. I think the key to a man's erectile dysfunction that would cure it is. It is a. An ego boost from somebody in their 20s wanting to bang you in your 70s. That's awesome. Robert Kraft. Look up Robert Kraft's wife. His ex wife has that.

[Brady]

The one he was rehearsing lines with.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, the actress. He married it. No, no, that was a different one. That was a different one. But this one's just as good. And she's in her. She's 50 something and it's still a 30 plus year gap. And people aren't really barking at that as much. She's beautiful. She's absolutely stunning. And if you look at his ex wife, who, you know, she's got tributes all over the Patriots facility. They had her initials on the arms of the jerseys for a while. And let's kill old man. Oh. Not only did he get her, he married it. And she seems happy to look at. He's all smiles as well.

[Brett Vesely]

Was. Was she prior to the hand jobs or was she after?

[John Holmberg]

It's a good question. But she's a tolerant woman. Either.

[Brett Vesely]

That's what I'm saying.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she's pretty tolerant lady. That's pretty good. So the patriot stories are all, look.

[Brady]

She might have been.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, here's the original one.

[John Holmberg]

There's his ex wife. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, he made the right move.

[John Holmberg]

Well, she passed away.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, it still made the right move.

[John Holmberg]

And then he was like, finally, I still got time. Yeah. Myra, they had the MHK on their jerseys for a long time. I don't know if they still do because the new wife's probably like, I don't like her being around this much. No problem. We'll get those right off. Well, your initials on the jerseys. I own the team. We can do this. And then he does. We're gonna put my wife's initials on your hats. She's beautiful and standing next to his old ass. And he's got the long flowing locks like he's got. It's pretty awesome for him. So is this today?

[Brady]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

We're going to do this now.

[Brady]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, oh, oh. Well, that's. It is 6, 6am yeah, you gotta listen to this. I'm gonna tell you this. Here's where we go. He's still, he's still. He was supposed to give me this.

It's the whole deal. We're gonna. It's loaded with food and fun and Great spot. If you've never been in the suites up there, it's a great spot to watch a concert. We got you covered. So downward. 97936. Get on that right away. I do have to give that back. Eric Cramsey has emailed and said, john, it's time for you to take it back. And you're not wrong. I said, never bet on a ginger to win a Super Bowl. It can't happen. It can never happen. Sam Darnold is the first. And nobody's talking about the glass ceiling he blew through. Nobody. The first ginger quarterback to win a Super bowl ever is Sam Darnold. Now, I never thought I'd see the day where a ginger would not crack under pressure, not just screw everything up and get wildly emotional. Sam Darnold did it is the first ever. We do this all the time with everything. You know, Bad Bunny's the first ever all Spanish halftime show. Tony Dungy was the first coach. You know, the black thing. Mexican Ron Rivera. You had Tom Flores back in the day. Every time we celebrate, gingers are not getting their due. And I was the first one to hate on them. And I still find them weird. But Ginger's winning a Super bowl needs to be a news story. First one ever. We didn't do any pre stories. We didn't go back to Sonny Jurgensen and, you know, Andy Dalton and all these redheaded quarterbacks that never had a chance to win a Super bowl because of their red hair. They tried. They were the ones who. Who built the. Who gave redheads hope that they could someday be a quarterback in the NFL. Because most redheads, they can't be leaders of men. They make everybody uncomfortable. This is amazing. For the ginger community, Usually a curse is involved. Always a curse is involved. Brady toads and cauldrons, tons of stuff like that. Every one of them has spent at least a month of their lives rubbing some sort of elixir on their face to try to get rid of freckles or change. They know. They know the Rudolph's red nose was really just basically red hair, like you're an outcast. Congratulations, gingers. I never thought I'd see the day. This is. This has to be what it felt like when civil rights was passed. I never thought I'd see the day. I never thought I'd see the day where a ginger hoisted the Lombardi Trophy and there he was. Now, he's not a. He's not a crazy ginger, but it's a step in the right direction. It's a step in the right direction for gingers all over. You have to be a little bit proud of the idea. We never had a red headed quarterback win anything ever. And there he is, a ginger. So congratulations, Eric Ramsey. I assume it says gingers unite in your email. That my preseason take was, you don't have to worry about the Seahawks because they've got a ginger quarterback, and as good as they could be, he will. And he did not fail them. In fact, he got better, so congratulations.

[Brett Vesely]

Marcus said the same thing.

[John Holmberg]

Ginger's rule. I'm a ginger. I'm proud of it. Congrats. This is a big day for you people. I mean, you're clearly a lesser sub species of humanity. Humanity. But my God, you've proven that you have kind of jumped up with the rest of us carbon based life forms of human and that you're not, as, I guess, unworthy as we all gave you. Yeah, you are. But either way, it's just. You got one. You got one, and that's good.

[Brady]

I'm gonna eat a carrot today.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you know what? Eat a carrot for ginger. You're not gonna eat a carrot.

[Brady]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Carrot cake. Maybe.

[John Holmberg]

He'Ll eat some Cheetos. That's Better. But the ginger's winning that. Go. Everything I have said downward is what you need to text 97936. And in the meantime, it's not work.

[Brady]

What?

[John Holmberg]

It isn't working. Yeah, it's not a text. I'm sorry. Yeah, you need to. You need to go off of the website. Downward. 97936. Website. You're not allowed to 97936.

[Brett Vesely]

No, because we're in a podcast now, so of course it's online.

[John Holmberg]

What? It's a.

[Brady]

You go to the.

[John Holmberg]

You have to go to the.

[Brady]

Tap that app.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, God. Making it harder.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, let's make it more confusing.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, good. All right, never mind. What I said is that you don't do the 97936. That's what I was told. Right out. You go to the app or the website. All right, never mind. It's going to be too hard. We'll just cancel it. Why? That's what we always do stuff. All right, all right. Why don't we do this anyway? All right. Exactly. All right. Go to 98kupd.com and do it. Or enter on the app so you can go download the app. I do that. That's a good idea. Anyway. That's good for us.

[Brett Vesely]

Can you do it from the app or do we even.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know yet. But right now. You got 27 minutes.

[Brady]

I'm doing it right now.

[John Holmberg]

There you go. Get on the app and do it. Oh, it's so much easier to do the other way. Don't tech. Don't do the text. That was my mistake. I'm sorry. I assumed. And that makes an ass of you and me. So you can go to the website or you can go to the app and then put him down. Brady got it, right? If Brady can do it, you can do it. I don't want to hear any complaining. I apologize. Give us a wake up song. 585-9800. We'll scream it together. It's 98k up.

[Brady]

It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee.

[John Holmberg]

I have heard enough of this. Morning sickness. You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. Alex. Crying about all that conspiracy that's going on. You can get. You got about eight more minutes to throw the word downward onto the app. You go on the app, you click on the suite that feeds. I'm getting it right now. You go to our website, 98kupd.com or you can go to the app, download an app. I got a guy who Said thanks a lot, prick. She made me download another app. Good. This one's easy. You download that app because it's where the podcast is found. The Homework's Morning Sickness podcast. You're listening to a live recording of the podcast through radio. If you're lucky enough to be part of that radio.

[Brett Vesely]

What's that?

[John Holmberg]

Well, it's an old fashioned thing people use. Congrats, assholes. I just downloaded another effing app. Thanks, Pete. Thanks for helping us out. Put the word downward in there and we'll get you in that suite that feeds. How about that? You go see Nine Inch Nails coming up here in March. The classiest way you can get in there. We're gonna get into the commercial thing. Louie, who usually comes in, the ad executive superstar, Louie Moses. Text me this morning. He's got a medical issue. He's got a saga. I can't make it. I don't. Something happens. He's fine, I guess he says, I'm okay, but I gotta deal with this. And I don't know if he. Lindsey Vaughned himself out of the house and busted an ankle or something.

[Brady]

I didn't get 13 seconds out of the house.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he just. He tried to ramp into his car and. And down he went. You know, I don't want to say it. I think Lindsey Vaughn's probably an amazing skier to get where she's going, but seems like every time I watch her, she falls or hurts herself. If I was a friend of hers, I'd be like, maybe this skiing's not for you. You win all the tournaments, no one watches. And every time I see her, I'm like, hey, there's that Lindsey Vaughn I've heard so much. Is he laying down? She's always laying down.

[Brady]

Hyped up story, that's for sure.

[John Holmberg]

I like it. She's always laying down. Yeah. This guy says, bad bunny. I got a lot of emails about it. I guess, whatever. Not my style of music. So I really didn't pay attention. I understand wanting to expand into a world product, but should you do it by alienating the home country? Again, the argument will be that Puerto Rico is part of the country. Second part of that, I know what you're saying, as you're alienating fans who have been loyal to you forever. But that's marketing 101. To basically say they ain't going anywhere, at least in Mass. But we got to get new money. The goal is to get the new money. So aiming this at an audience that feels like they've never had it Aimed at them before is smart in a marketing way. Nobody, none of us are leaving football because of bad Bunny. They. There's absolutely zero risk for the NFL to go, all right, that will bitch about it and cry and maybe a few people go, I ain't watching no more. But you weren't spending the money that they want anyway. You've already spent. They've already got yours. Like with me, the NFL has done very well. With me, if I stopped spending money right now on NFL stuff, they'd be like, that's cool. You gave us tons. You're. You're good to go. We'll take. They want 25 year old people who are about to come.

[Brady]

You're fully vested.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I am. Yeah, I am.

[Brady]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

They've got me like, oh, you hit your mark a long time ago. We're good with you. They want that 25 year old kid who's about to start a real life and then in five years time has a kid and you buy him clothes and helmets and jerseys and merch me like, that dude's already given us a ton of money. If he wants to keep going, he can still got him. And I still will.

[Brady]

We're not gonna get him to buy in on the flag football.

[John Holmberg]

No, no. With helmets. I watched one where they were in pads and wearing flags and I'm like, why? Well, they gotta protect them from what? They're. They're bulking kids up in pads to play flag football. I don't blame the kids. That's on the pussy parents and that's my generation. I don't know what we did to make it so. Kids are so fragile now. But if you've got a kid in a helmet and shoulder pads and somebody's got flags on his hips, that kid's one of them British smokes. I made myself laugh. It's true, though. Put your helmet on. It's flag football. Just what. And I guess it's the equivalent of when we used to ride bikes. Nobody ever. Our parents never said, wear your helmet. You look like a dork now. Good Christ. Kid on a bike without a helmet. It might explode if he hits.

[Brady]

Kicking in on those electric bikes because some of them.

[John Holmberg]

That is. Well, that's different. That's a motorcycle. That's different. That is a look. You were. Everybody said if you were mopeds and anything.

[Brady]

Helmet with training wheels.

[John Holmberg]

Look, that I even understand because you're brand new, but once you're riding the bike, you should be able to get from A to B without your cranium. Falling off. I don't know too many people.

[Brady]

Again, the person would say, well, it's not about the kid riding the bike. It's about the cars around.

[John Holmberg]

Well, then get out of the road, you dumbass. Learn that those things hurt. We have coyotes that cross 52nd street on a regular basis. We watch them. They're not wearing helmets. They look. They look both ways. You've seen, you watched me and you have sat out this window and like, look, the coyotes are going to cross 52nd Street. They look both ways, like the cars. We're good. Teach your kids go. Yeah, they do the go, go, go, go, go, go, go. And they both take off. It's kind of neat. And they're not in helmets. They're running the risk of getting run over. If your kid's in the road and the only thing protecting him is a helmet, I can tell you two things have gone wrong already. First off, he didn't know not to stand in the road. Second, that helmet ain't protecting him from anything.

[Brett Vesely]

Basically, you're a bad parent.

[John Holmberg]

We had a kid in seventh grade named. I think his name was Chad Hall. Do you remember him? Chad Nevers. For him, never run over by a car. Like three weeks later, he came back with scars all over his face. And he was a little bit dopey for a while. He got smashed, Showed up like, yeah, if he had a helmet on, he still would have had been smashed. I'm not saying you shouldn't wear a helmet, but I'm saying we used to not. And we were pretty. Okay. Football flag. Football with helmets. I'm looking at this the other day, I'm like, come on.

[Brett Vesely]

It's like you said, you'd be a dork or something if you were. You know, back when you're a kid, that was a thing.

[John Holmberg]

Relentless ridicule you'd have received. Taking your helmet, having it attached to you all day long. Oh, yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

But again, we didn't need the little neon green guy with the flag out there.

[Brady]

Slow down.

[John Holmberg]

We knew better. Yeah. Telling watch out for the car. Watch out for us. It's the other way, right? You watch out for cars. The guy in the cars might have had a bad day.

[Brady]

Found out my dogs go crazy on those green guys.

[John Holmberg]

They don't like those.

[Brady]

Just. We encountered one for the first time. They're weird and wanted to attack it.

[John Holmberg]

They're old school. Dogs are like, yeah, kids should. I don't understand that.

[Brady]

Is that strange green thing.

[John Holmberg]

Keep your kids running in the road. That's the key. And the ones that run on the road usually have a story later. Yeah, it's a strange one. Man 1 here's something I'm curious about with the Bad Bunny halftime show. I wonder, you know, they said I was surprised to see the. The pop for Bad Bunny on Apple Music. A lot of those downloads. I didn't expect it to be as good as what we're seeing. But I wonder this. And what can we get this report with all those hot Latina asses bouncing around on the screen? Did pornhub see a surge in Latina porn?

[Brett Vesely]

Had to.

[Brady]

Those numbers will be out.

[John Holmberg]

Much hot Latin ass bouncing around. I don't know. Cameras right in their butt. So it's not me being perverted. They were doing it on purpose and they had thick butted girls.

[Brady]

I saw a good mix.

[John Holmberg]

Did you?

[Brady]

I didn't think, yeah, I saw a.

[John Holmberg]

Lot of thick asses. I went back and watched it again when I got home. Just see, like, what do I do? There's a lot of thick asses in there. A lot. A lot of thick asses. Latin asses. I'm like, I wonder if pornhub saw a little bounce.

[Brett Vesely]

So then empanadas.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I wonder if dudes went home and went thick Latin broad just in the search line.

[Brett Vesely]

How can we find that out?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. There had to be a surge in thick Latin butt porn.

[Brady]

Sometimes they come up with a after stats on that.

[John Holmberg]

Pornhub has to. The pornhub has to. Because that was. Look, if we're talking about the commercials motivating you to do all this stuff, there's no doubt that that commercial that ran for 20 minutes in the middle of the game for thick Latin ass did its job. There had to be extra searches for thick Latin butts. There was a lot of really hot Latinas up there. I just curious if that was a thing because I thought about it when I got home, I'm like, well, there's this guy just emailed over. Somebody tweeted out. Could have been nice if Bad Bunny would have presented Savannah Guthrie's mom right there at the halftime. We found out you're terrible people.

[Brady]

Saved her for the half.

[John Holmberg]

You're just terrible people. All right. And we can get into the. Well, let's get into the Savannah Guthrie thing for a second because I am. Here we go. Here's my Alex Jones turning bright red. I'm getting a little fat. I don't know what. I'll eat your ass. We just offer our children up to.

[Brady]

The system with the fluoride.

[John Holmberg]

And the water and the gmo. I've been saying it for a little bit. Fat perverts grab them at the airport to train them for the pedophile government. Thank you, Alex. I've been saying the Savannah Guthrie thing doesn't pass the smell test for a while. And I don't know what it is. I don't know where I'm right and where I'm wrong with this. Here is Savannah Guthrie's plea to the kidnappers on TV the other day. Are you ready?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Here's her plea. Now, this is sad. Her mother's missing. This is not, you know, here's her plea. She is full of kindness and knowledge. Talk to her and you'll see. All right, here's the senator from Silence of the Lambs in 1991 talking about her daughter in the. Well, Catherine is very gentle and kind. Talk to her and you'll see.

[Brady]

They.

[John Holmberg]

They. Wow.

[Brett Vesely]

What the.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah, real quick.

[Brady]

Those are common lines.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, real quick. She is full of kindness and knowledge. Talk to her and you'll see. Senator, love the suit. Catherine is very gentle and kind. Talk to her and you'll see it's delivered the same way.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

The simulation is broken. We're. We're robbing movies to have emotional pleas to kidnappers. And I know Savannah Guthrie's going through a thing watching it.

[Brady]

Okay, I like that line.

[John Holmberg]

That's the thing that's, like, just so weird. Weird.

[Brady]

That is weird.

[John Holmberg]

Did you breastfeed your babies? Toughens the nipples. I mean, what are we doing? This one got me. When I saw this, I was. I'm a Silence of the Lamb super fan. I know the whole movie front to back. And when she said it, I'm like, oh, she is full of kindness and knowledge. Talk to her and you'll see. Catherine is very gentle and kind. It's so weird. Talk to her and you'll see. It's just so weird. Does that not make you guys go, wait a minute. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm turning bright red and getting fat and figured everything's fake. I can't imagine that someone. If I figured it out, someone didn't sit back and say, hey, little tight with the Silence of the Lambs plea to James Gum to let the little errors out of the well.

[Brady]

I mean, now, in the movie, was the senator coached to say that by the.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, they had a thing. Of course. Yes.

[Brady]

That's what I'm saying.

[John Holmberg]

Come on. But. Come on. It's like saying, hi, ho, Silver. It Might be the first time you're saying it's popular, but we know where it comes from. You can't quote something and act like some people aren't going to pick that up. You have to deviate and be original. You can't have template FBI talk, because then it's just like, okay, they're working with the FBI. I mean, if I'm telling you this works, if I'm a kidnapper, I'm like, oh, this is from Silence of the Lambs. They're going, this isn't an emotional plea. This is a script.

[Brady]

They're gonna hit you with a script?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they're gonna hit you with a script. It doesn't matter to them. Don't worry about it.

[Brett Vesely]

First, Hollywood's out of ideas. Now the politics are out of ideas, too.

[John Holmberg]

And, yeah, the guy said they even made Savannah sort of look like her from the movie. Yeah, they gave her, like, the. And then I got all you people. John, you're starting to see it. I know. I don't necessarily want to go down that road. That's where it is, where all the fluorides are. It's where the chemtrails. I found that.

[Brady]

That is spot on.

[John Holmberg]

It's weird. And maybe it is a template, but that makes it worse because then it's not emotional or personal or anything else. And then after that is said in the movie, they cut to the girls of the FBI and she goes, ah, making it personal. That's smart. Making her a human. Like, you're doing the same exact thing. You're hoping that the kidnapper see her as a human being and not just a product. You're starting to see it now. They're starting to steal from movies. Everything is a movie. They're wagging the dog.

[Brady]

You got one by me. I mean, I didn't put the 2 and 2.

[John Holmberg]

Well, no, not a lot of people would, but I happen to be a super fan of that movie to where, if you give me a line from it, I'm gonna give you the next three. Like, I have that thing memorized. I love that movie. And that's Senator Harris. And she's an impassioned plea for what we then found out was Jane Gumm keeping her in a well. Senator loved the soup. Yeah. His name is Lewis friend. Stands about 5, 11 inches tall. Said he was from Philadelphia, but he could have lied. Yeah, it's. It's a weird thing to me that that exists. And maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's not, but it sure did look awfully choreographed and not in a creative way.

[Brady]

Good delivery.

[John Holmberg]

Watch this thing and say the same stuff. This is a great. This movie's fantastic. What, did they just sit down and watch Silence of the Lambs while they were waiting for Savannah's mom? Oh, we should do that. That's a good idea. Talk to her and you'll see. And once she hit that line, I'm like, well, that's the senator. Then my brain goes. Toughens the nipple. Like, you can't. I can't be. I can't be empathetic and think of Hannibal Lecter, or as Trump calls him, the great Hannibal Lecter. It's just a man. It's weird. And no, I don't want to just be part of this, but I don't want it to be fake. I don't want it to be something. I'm like, oh, what's this? It's just that seven o'. Clock. Got to give you another word. Raw R A W. You go onto our app, you find that little suite that feeds thing for the Nine Inch Nails concert. We'll give you RAW for the seven o' clock hour. We're going to keep doing this every hour of the day, and then we're gonna give away sweet tickets. I think we got six of them. Six pairs.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

We're gonna fill that suite with KUPD listeners. Six pairs. And we'll give those away. That'd be great. David Vasquez says, I'm with you, John. Big booty to legal immigrants can stay. Everyone else get the out. That's from David Vasquez. That's a Mexican guy. That's not just me. I mean, if we have a standard for who can stay and who can't, it's them. Big booty imagination. According to David Vosque. He ain't rock. Crazy. Yeah, the world's just not normal. Did you watch the end? Scott ain't said. Did you watch the end of the tape when she looks into the camera and says, give me back my son. Like, oh, my God, it's the Mel Gibson movie. And then later she did one says, gotta get these snakes off this mother plane. Just quoting movies to try to get your mom back. It seems so insincere. Anyway, they got a five million dollar bounty that comes due tonight. The ransom is due tonight or else. And we don't know what the or else.

[Brady]

One that they think is?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, the legit one. They say there's a time that will pass if. How many ransom notes did they find? That's another thing. It's like, we've got a couple that aren't real. Where were they? And how quick did somebody dick around to get a ransom note? It was pretty fast.

[Brady]

Didn't one go to a radio station and do something?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. But they're like, yeah, this one. The time will pass on that. Who knows?

[Brady]

Might have been a news station, too.

[John Holmberg]

I. I hope that they find the lady and everybody's back in normal again, but this is just strange.

[Brett Vesely]

They went to Larry Mack in Tucson and.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, my God. They get this to the authorities and location. Okay, okay, okay. We can just. Okay, it's kfmla. Where did everyone stage nematic of it's Larry Mack down here? Tucson. Okay. All you people who are not familiar, go to Tucson and listen. That's dead on. We all do it. Okay, I've got a ramp. Since you're gonna kill somebody, gets his mom. It's for 4:00' clock here at KFMI. I'm gonna play a little. Wow. We're gonna play a little white Zombie and then we're gonna see if we can get this ransom taken care of. Okay. All right. On my job. So I'm gonna need you to do something. We're gonna have to stop the Nine Inch Nails promotion. We're gonna do a little ransom note step. Okay. It's one of those really good ones, too. Okay. With the, you know, letters cut out of the magazine. Okay.

[Brady]

Good to have you back, partner.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, it's good to be here. Dad was with Brady for a little while. Okay. John was gone. I filled in. Okay.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

Said her speech for the mom just made the kidnappers tuck their dicks between their legs and tell everybody they'd F themselves. Yeah, they're just recreating the movie. I don't want to be this cynical, but, man, you can't help it when it's put right in front of you. Like we're not even trying anymore. They're just not. I'm hoping again, I don't want to hear from anybody because I'm certainly hoping I'm wrong. I'm hoping that this is all legit and everything's on the up and up and we're gonna do the right thing, but, man, Ed from Jump. This thing seemed like a script. And I don't know that the Guthrie's are in on it, but it just feels like it's the oddest thing I've ever seen and making me question all sorts of stuff. Well, it's a boy oh, here we go. The voice came back. I turned red. I got fat. I don't even know if those kids in Wells when I was growing up that were so heartf beautiful if they were actually down in there. Nobody's fallen in a well since Baby Jessica. Why was that such a big deal? For a while, kids were in wells. Seemed like every couple weeks. And then wells didn't go away, but the kids falling in them dead. Remember that the kids in Wells thing? That was like a lot for a while.

[Brady]

It's a celebrity thing.

[John Holmberg]

Is it?

[Brady]

All big celebrities have wells now, do they?

[John Holmberg]

Well, there's no kids in them.

[Brady]

They're putting babies.

[John Holmberg]

Did he have one? Kids used to dip down in wells constantly. Baby Jessica was down there for weeks. They had to drill in from the side for some reason. Seemed like an easy get. If she can fall in, why can't we tug her out?

[Brady]

Oprah has 5,000 wells.

[John Holmberg]

I'm sure she's just eating babies like crazy. And her incubating wells of baby food baby. But then. But the whole country, like, united over this kid. Yeah, we're all nuts and like, oh, that's good. And then a few weeks later, another kid fell in a well. And I'm like, wait a second. And that was when I was younger, like the youth. This. Wait a minute. This is the same blueprint. Those kids and wells, they distracted us while they did other stuff while we watch babies in wells. That made it. And then no one cared. I'm telling you right now, I don't buy the kid in well thing. Go back and look. What was the government doing while we were watching Baby Jessica in that well? It's all smoke and mirrors so the pedophiles can touch all the kids and wells. I'm going crazy. Something's not right. Devin says, john, put your tinfoil hat on this one for me. We have trackers being put in us for health reasons. They say pacemakers now under the guise of an old person being lost. But they can find the them. And they can also know when they're not around, they're going to have something in there and just basically say, hey, your heart's no good. You're going to want this. And you, of course, are going to think, my heart needs help, so I'm going to put that in me. That is an unreasonable thought. Says from the trackers will start being metal rods and screws for broken bones, blah, blah, blah. Before you know it, we're all tracked. It's a trap. There's no way that this expired broad is commanding this much attention, she's probably gone. That's not a good thing to say. The amount of money that we're going to find, that we're using to find her is being used as money laundering. That's a different conspiracy. Anyway, have a good week. Start the fart jokes now. Devin, again, we're already trying to get phones. We volunteer. I agree. Once you signed up to get your phone, you said, I'll carry my tracker. You don't have to implant it.

[Brett Vesely]

Your laptop, everything.

[Brady]

Phones, cars.

[John Holmberg]

No, the phones were the biggest one. The phones were the one where we actually volunteer and pay a monthly fee to have a tracker with us at all times. The kids and the wells. I don't remember anybody. That's all go back to. I'm thinking maybe I'm going to dig around a little today and go, what was going on the week and a half? Baby Jessica was stuck in that well. And that was one of the weirdest things in my lifetime. That kid was like seven days old. The hell was it doing out there by wells? It tumbles all the way down there and bounces around to the bottom of the well, and they're like, ah. And how did they know to look to check the well? Like, oh, Jesus, no, let's go.

[Brett Vesely]

That's the one place I didn't look.

[John Holmberg]

The only spot I didn't think a baby could fall. Oh, sure enough, there it is. I see it.

[Brady]

And with the technology today, we could have just thrown a camera down there and watched for a year.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. We could have made all that stage. Yeah. Is that baby masturbating? Oh, my God. We're to make a fortune. It's an only fans. I don't believe anything anymore. And I hate my brain for doing this. I hate it. I don't want this. But it's happening. Yeah. Everybody's email. So whether Guthrie's mom just wanted to see if her kids still loved her. I wouldn't put it past my mom to try this. They stopped coming around and visiting, so she just staged the whole thing, and now it's way out of control. It's like the falcon, the balloon boy. They wanted to get a little attention, and it got crazy. Next thing you know, CNN's got a chopper up following that odd balloon that they thought a boy was in. Bad news, by the way. Torta searches evidently did go up. And that means that's some. Some sort of Spanish word for thick Latina ass. Is that it?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Do you call someone a torta?

[Brady]

I thought it was a pastry.

[John Holmberg]

Like, if you said it's.

[Brett Vesely]

I think it's a sandwich, actually. Is a sandwich. Like those kind of stuffed sandwiches.

[John Holmberg]

And you discover. I didn't even notice that the bride in Bad Bunny's halftime show was knocked up.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. Batman showed me that as a shotgun. Sent the picture.

[John Holmberg]

I'm like, okay, that's a shotgun warning. I didn't see that. Oh, my God. Okay, then he came from la. We just got the. More wedding.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

We're gonna play a bit little. Got a little Megadeth coming. Your direction. And hopefully no Megadeth tonight after five and the ransom note comes due and.

[Brady]

Okay. Okay.

[John Holmberg]

Learn that. Getting it done. Gonna do a little local band feature here at 7 o'. Clock. And hopefully that local band doesn't know anything about what's going on here in Tucson with Savannah. I'm okay. Yeah. So. Yeah. All right, let's get to the commercials thing yesterday with. With Louie not coming in, we can kind of go through our little list. And essentially, with a bad football game, you get bad ads. And it's not the ad's fault. It's Are bored while they go on and they're ranking the top 10. There were some that I enjoyed and some that I didn't care about. The one I liked the most was the Jurassic park one. I think that one kind of popped Xfinity. Yeah. Where they basically said if they had better Internet, it never would have gone sideways and it would have been a fun park. That just would have been awesome for everyone. But you'd have never had the fences go down, the dinosaurs, which I find great.

[Brady]

And that was directed by a. That.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it was pretty good. That was a good one. And then you got the State Farm one, which was the Jon Bon Jovi thing at the end there. And picked everybody up and visit Holmberg's morning sickness [e-mail] Holmberg's Morning Sickness.

[Brady]

Did you like the Goodwill hunting one? That.

[John Holmberg]

That creeped me out. Out with all. With how great AI is. The Dunkin Donuts ad with all the thing like, Sam Malone came out. It looked like Red Dead Redemption. Like his eyes weren't right.

[Brady]

There's a couple of weird AI I didn't like that seemed like. Although I did like the ending when Aniston put Tom Brady's face against women.

[John Holmberg]

I guess I don't like to see him either. That's one I don't.

[Brett Vesely]

There wasn't any. That, like, without looking at the list that I'm like, oh, yeah, that was A great one.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Pepsi was good there. The UberEats ones are kind of funny. I like that they're doing that with. You know that it's all about food.

[Brady]

The manscaped one grossed me out when the.

[John Holmberg]

When the pubes were talking to us. Yeah, that one got me, too. But it. But you know what? I remembered it and I thought to myself at the end, oh, that one's gonna get me. Because it's. It grossed me out to the point where I'm like, manscape had a commercial. Like, I'll remember their name. Pain.

[Dick Toledo]

Did the loosen your tight end hit me because it's that age.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I did watch that. It was the closest I'll ever get to having a prostate exam. When they did the loosen your tight end, it was funny. I'm still never going to do it because I think that that's a doctor's plan to finger me.

[Dick Toledo]

You don't have to.

[John Holmberg]

I know.

[Brady]

That's what the whole point of the commercial was.

[John Holmberg]

Yes, you do. They want you to loosen your tight end. You're supposed to get fingered. And with all the technology we've got to look inside my body, you still have to finger me to find out if I'm sick.

[Dick Toledo]

It's a medical conspiracy to keep proctologists in business.

[John Holmberg]

Business. It's a medical conspiracy to have doctors have one last piece of power over you, to just. It is. It's rape is what it is, and it's unnecessary anymore.

[Dick Toledo]

Do they still cup your balls like when we were a kid and you.

[John Holmberg]

Got the if yes nicely.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

When you had to get your.

[Dick Toledo]

That's rubber crack physical. I don't turn your head and cough.

[John Holmberg]

I think they probably squeeze your nuts or something for a physical. I haven't had one for a while.

[Dick Toledo]

Has it been proven that it's effective?

[John Holmberg]

Can he. Yeah. That. That is all my balls do. I coughed and just like. Does one go balls like, oh, you've got a herniated nut. I would have never known that. I've never had anybody go, I got a physical, and when I cough, maybe, like, you feel a BB on your balls. But I feel my balls all the time, always on those things. So I'll notice a difference if there's something different. I'm going in. I don't want you to go digging around, Doctor. Bend over. I'm gonna finger you like. And I had a trauma with that. You know, I'm like one of those people who, like, when they. They're kids, they had a traumatic experience and they fell under Some ice when they were. And then they're afraid of water forever. That doctor, when I was 20, fingered me so hard, I shot out onto the table. Not going back for that.

[Dick Toledo]

That was a good experience.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it was it. Mentally, it was not. It was the Ohio State guy. And I'm like, I don't know. That was a thorough physical, necessary exam. All I told you was it hurts to pee. I had a UTI and he fingered me. Jim Jordan was your doctor until I. And I'm like, ah. And he goes, that'll happen. I'm like that. To me, it's never happened. That's the first. I mean, you're essentially that you just took my ass flower. So I don't want to go back and have that embarrassing thing again. I'm triggered so Ron Wolfley can yell at me all I want. Put the dress on. No, I'm not doing it. No. If my ass breaks, it stays broken. I'm doing all right. Everything keeps flowing. Your prostate might be a problem. I don't think so. My prostate is worn out. My prostate doesn't have time to get cancer. It's. It's being abused.

[Dick Toledo]

Taking breaths.

[John Holmberg]

My prostate is lucky. My prostate is like a. Like a professional wrestler. If you pulled it out and put it up next, it would just be standing there like a little action figure, like I am. Worked regularly. There's an app.

[Dick Toledo]

You had one of those Apple fitness trackers on your.

[John Holmberg]

That thing would be humming 10,000 steps. Yeah, they rank everybody on tonal. Like, there's thousands and tens of thousands of people on tonal. And you can look and see where you stand. Like, how my workouts are doing. Like, how many I've done. I'd be in the top three with the prostate. Tonal. I think I'm in, like, 14,000th place on tonal. I'd be third if it was for prostate work. Because, man, and sometimes during a workout, I'm like, let's put the prostate in on this for half of the. And then I'll get back to working out. Can't help it. I'm in soft shorts and starts rubbing around. Like, I gotta do something about this. Prostate is fine. My doctor would probably finger me and hit the prostate. Ah, My finger would break his finger. What is that in there? Told you not to touch it. It's angry. So, yeah, I'm not doing that. But that was the closest I've come. That commercial.

[Brady]

Handcuffs.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no. It'll grab. It'll bite, and it'll break your finger, right? And have comes back. And the bones. Oh. Told you, man. Letting me go. Dude's a monster. I wouldn't mess with him. But that was as close as I've come to a prostate exam. I'm with you on that. Yeah. There was the manscaped one was gross. There was a couple others.

[Brady]

Bud Light keg rolling deal with.

[John Holmberg]

I skipped it.

[Brady]

And then I didn't see. I saw it beforehand. But the Budweiser ad where the Clydesdale.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And the Eagle. That was awesome. That was so redneck Cool. Like, there was something so incredibly. That's merc White trash. Awesome. About a Bud Heavy having an implied sales come over. Rescue baby Eagle. It's like, my God, Pegasus. Is him off of his bag. Like, oh, my God, an eagle riding a horse. I am in heaven. That was so cool.

[Dick Toledo]

What about the waste of money Coinbase did.

[John Holmberg]

Which one was that?

[Brady]

It was just karaoke.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

It was the Backstreet Boys karaoke.

[Dick Toledo]

Brett and I were like, like, is.

[John Holmberg]

The DJ doing this?

[Brady]

Where is this going? Where's this going? Until at the end, you're like, what?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I didn't. I didn't get that one. Brett pointed out the Cliff Booth movie from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The trailer for that looked like that was the thing that. I'm probably walking away going, that has my attention more than all the rest. There was a couple.

[Brady]

I thought the Mandal. I think it's Netflix, was like a. Is that a joke?

[John Holmberg]

It's a movie, right?

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

That's going to be a movie, too. Yeah. I, you know, I've got a few. The Meta glasses. I wrote them down. A Meta glasses was good. The exploding head energy drink from Liquid Death was like, all right, that's clever. But I didn't think it was super bowl great.

[Brett Vesely]

The Doritos even have a commercial this year.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't notice.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, I didn't either, because usually they're one of the big ones.

[John Holmberg]

Toyota pissed me off because they had those kids talking.

[Brady]

Miss that one. I remember seeing a dog drinking Red Bull going crazy.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, that was a good one. I also liked that Kendall Jenner admits that her vagina's poison. She basically is.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, I missed that.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no, it's a great one for Bet Fan. For betting. And she goes, you know, a lot of people say, I've dated a lot of guys in the NBA and usually after they're with me, they're cursed. They're cursed. And she goes, so basically, my vagina's poison. I can make the. I can Go bang a guy and ruin it and go on unders. And so basically, she's like, you think I can afford all this from modeling? And she's getting on a plane. So, like, I go and put my poison vagina. She didn't say this, but paraphrasing, put my poison vagina on a pro athlete. And then he caves, and you can start betting against him. And she played along with it, and I was like, that's pretty awesome to admit. Your vagina is absolute poison.

[Dick Toledo]

Pretty good in your ad. Follow me for more gambling tips.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And she's like, yeah, well, look, if I'm banging them, they're not gonna play well, so I'm poison. And then we get into the big one, and yes, Brett, you just printed it.

[Brett Vesely]

There's like, seven of those emails asking your opinion on it because.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, yeah. The way I was presented this one just on an email was, see the commercial with you in it? Like, what said you as a kid? It's like, you. You have hair, and you open up your locker and it says, dirty Jew. I'm like, oh, God, what are you going? He goes, I. I couldn't. I couldn't watch the rest of it because I thought of Brett, and I started laughing the whole time. I'm like, that's an anti Semit Semitic, like, against that. But then at the end, a black guy comes on and goes, I know you have to.

[Brady]

I got you.

[John Holmberg]

Like, don't do that. That was just uncomfortable. And I know it's supposed to be, but I'm not. I mean, you see the words dirty Jew, and you're like, oh, no, this is not gonna go in good direction. This can't possibly be uplifting in the end, can it? Then the little blue square comes on, and then, like, you know, Drew Ski pops up and says, I got your back, man. We good. I'm like, no, no, no, no. Don't bring the blacks into this. We've got. Let's keep all this separate for a second.

[Dick Toledo]

By the way, I've. I've looked for the blue square. I don't know where it is.

[John Holmberg]

What do you mean?

[Dick Toledo]

On your phone?

[John Holmberg]

It's hashtag, we have it. It's on all of our phones.

[Dick Toledo]

Supposed to be on. That's how you use it. You're supposed to be able to text it and use it and post it.

[John Holmberg]

But you're saying it comes with your phone.

[Dick Toledo]

I think it's part of the emoji pack, but I haven't found it.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, all right.

[Brett Vesely]

We can't even figure out our online contest, we're never gonna be able to figure that out.

[John Holmberg]

I have to take pictures of emojis and then. And then crap it. Well, then get bigger, because I don't know which one it is. Somebody sent me one the other day that I thought was a thank you, and I don't know what it was, but, like, a surprise. And I looked, and I'm like, is this. And then I had to look it up, so I spent, like, 20 minutes online. Like, what does this emoji mean? And it was pleading, and I don't know what that means, and I don't know why you would ever write that. And then it also says cuteness. And, like, I don't know what this is.

[Dick Toledo]

Someone sent you cuteness.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know know what it meant. It had, like, nine meetings, but it's just. And I'm like, okay. Because I didn't know which one it was. There's too many. It was a very sweet message. It was nice to say thank you, as, you know, Frankie and my doggie and all. That was a nice thing. But then that was on there. I'm like, is that. Is that crying? It's like, no, no. It's saying thank you in a very nice way. But I don't know. I don't know any of it works. But, yeah, the Dirty Jew commercial was not. That was one of those, oh, geez, I feel terrible.

[Brady]

10 million bucks a throw on a commercial.

[John Holmberg]

I know. And that's just to buy it. That's not even production. That's crazy. Easy. Yeah. I didn't walk away screaming that anything was great. The Dunkin Donuts one will get a lot of attention. It was okay. Serena Williams isn't fat anymore. She's got muscles. I thought that was good.

[Brady]

Chris Hemsworth had the idea.

[John Holmberg]

I like that one. I like when he wrestled the bear for no reason. That was pretty good.

[Brady]

He just chucked Serena Williams. Did you like.

[John Holmberg]

That's what I already said, Brady. Oh, what's the matter with you? I just said it like the sentence before.

[Brady]

It was a battle of the glp, too, because there was a lot of.

[John Holmberg]

Movies, a lot of fat pills. The Benson Boone one with Ben Stiller everybody lost their minds on. That was just slapstick comedy. It was fine. I still don't really know what Instacart got out of that outside of. There was some good stuff, though. And then the kids that were talking about retirement also made me mad. I don't like kid talking commercials. Yeah, I'm Trying to find one. I think the Jurassic park one was the best. William Shatner, that was the other one where he did the button that. That came out on the Internet a couple days earlier. But Shatner doing the, the Will Shat on the car. And they played the play on words about fiber or whatever. I don't even know what it was for, but I don't think I saw that. Yeah, it was a good one. And William Shatner running around and everybody's like, will. Shad is on the. Will Shadow on the car. And they just point at him and there's Shatner standing on the thing. And then he jumps into the. He's in a buffalo tailgate.

[Brady]

It was a cereal something.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it was like a fiber thing for cereal. Yeah, he, you know, and that's when.

[Brady]

The, when it was being filmed. Someone had a picture of him early on.

[John Holmberg]

Well, eating cereal in the car.

[Brady]

Yeah. And they're saying, oh, controversial. But it was all part of the.

[John Holmberg]

All part of the plan. Catch him, put it out there, act like it was an accident. So, yeah, I don't know. It was.

[Dick Toledo]

People are showing solidarity with you because there's. You can have the Star of David and the Menorah oh emoji on your phone.

[John Holmberg]

That's what those are. Yep. Anyway, I just don't like the. I don't like. Anti. Semitism's no good. We all know that. But during the super bowl, seeing that and then hearing people giggle because they did. When. Because it's uncomfortable. I laugh. I laugh. You definitely laugh at uncomfortable things. That one was extra uncomfortable. When you see the words Dirty jew on a 200 inch screen at a bar and you hear. It's like, oh, everybody's just uncomfortable. No, nobody's, Nobody's like taking. Everybody, calm down, take this in. And you're all like, we're all drinking, you're eating and having a good time. And then you see that and somebody's going to giggle. There's going to be. There's a Brett in every super bowl party that's going to break the silence of the discomfort of the racist commercial and go. And they're, oh, he's horrible. And then you. Then all the attention turns towards us being, thank you for hitting that release valve. But when the brother came on at the end, he's like, yeah, I got you. I've been there, man. Like, you've never been called a dirty Jewish. You have a whole new commercial. We can't write the words down on your locker. Whole world would explode. Basically, I'm asking the question, who's moved, who's racist and watches a commercial and goes, oh, yeah, I'm not going to do that anymore. Who are they aiming that at? Like, if you're. If you're about to write Dirty Jew on a kid's locker, don't. The commercial says it's bad.

[Brady]

It might have cut down. Might have cut down the bowling. Think.

[John Holmberg]

You think it worked? You think it was effective to the kid who hates Jews to go, well, that commercial made me really think. And then there's that black guy at the end.

[Dick Toledo]

Can I put this into perspective for you? David Vasquez just texted in the blue square.

[Brett Vesely]

Sanjay just texted it over to me, too.

[John Holmberg]

It becomes almost a laugh point because you don't want it to be. You don't want that much discomfort surrounding. We all know people are bad. You don't need a commercial to go, you shouldn't be. We know. And the ones who don't know don't know with or without advertising. What am I supposed to do with that? Nobody. Horrible. No. You know, we're not going to stop the next Hitler by going, that commercial moved me. I used to hate the Jews. It's not going to be a thing. There's got to be a better way. It's called parenting, I think, think. And parents who raise kids who write Dirty Jew on a locker, they're gonna make that commercial a joke at their house. They get loans.

[Brady]

Sometimes they really need loans. Buy houses. You know, all this SNL will be doing.

[John Holmberg]

No, they won't. They won't touch it. No, they won't touch it. But it's. Yeah. What was the Mike Tyson one? I didn't hear that one. Yeah, it was. He was talking about something and I'm like, all right. I don't know. I was giving prizes away. Oh, that was. That was one about being fat. Yeah, that was. Yeah. He was screaming like govi or something, like, knock it off. Be skinny. Knock off being.

[Brady]

So he ate a ton of ice cream.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you don't have to be fat anymore. That's basically what it was.

[Brady]

But, yeah, got up to 345 pounds.

[John Holmberg]

Tyson did.

[Brady]

That's what he said on the commercial.

[John Holmberg]

He was 345. He's 5 10. We'd have noticed. 345. That's Ralphie size.

[Brady]

Ralphie was.

[John Holmberg]

Ralphie got under 400 for a little while and he never looked. Really.

[Brady]

I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

About 345 is ridiculous. And see, this is what I get now. My emails. I Got like seven in a row that say Jew commercial. This is it did nothing. Yeah. And why not run that during the Turning Point event? That would have been more effective.

[Dick Toledo]

Yes, you would think so.

[John Holmberg]

Like, if that's what you're worried about, there's your audience. You know, I don't know. Dave Chappelle hates them. Right? I mean, maybe he should have been.

[Dick Toledo]

In it and forever. Like, a bunch of people were texting in that. The Turning Point thing was just a big ad. Like, they ran text. I'm like, like, so did Bad Bunny.

[John Holmberg]

Everything's a big. That was.

[Dick Toledo]

That was all to turn you on to his Apple Music Store and like you said 700 times his normal downloads.

[John Holmberg]

I. I don't know if anybody understands it. If you're watching it on tv, it's an ad.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

No matter what it is, everything is. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

NFL is a business.

[John Holmberg]

It's all a business. Everything's a business. You don't buy to, you know, expressing it. I am. And what's the goal with the blue square? Are we supposed to send money?

[Dick Toledo]

I don't.

[Brady]

No.

[Dick Toledo]

Does it automatically send money?

[Brady]

Just awareness.

[John Holmberg]

I'm aware of people who are. We've all.

[Dick Toledo]

We've gone over awareness and many things before.

[John Holmberg]

What am I supposed to do with that awareness?

[Brady]

Just knock it off before you.

[John Holmberg]

But I wasn't doing that. I'm not doing it, so I guess I don't need that. I'm not running around writing dirty Jew on people's stuff. I was raised right. My dad, like, don't write dirty Jew on things. I'm like, really? And that was never a conversation. Are you sure, dad? Like, I really like writing dirty Jew on things. Well, don't do it.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, man, come on.

[John Holmberg]

You ruin all the fun. He's like, well, I'm just trying to do the right thing by you. Never. And the kids who wrote Dirty Jew had parents that high fived them when they got home. This is more than just a commercial. Do a commercial and says, man, you people suck. Your kids, everything sucks. Let's bully back. Don't make the thing about not doing the Jewish. Let's turn and just have Jews going, hey, you redneck. Piles of. Start writing on their lockers.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Instead of acting like victims, turn around and go, if somebody wrote Dirty Jew in my locker, I'm gonna kick everybody's ass until I find who did it. Go full, like, you know, was that the Mossad Go nuts in that Israeli army goes Krav Maga. Everybody's ass to the ground until you Find the kid who wrote Dirty jute. That's how it should be portrayed. We're sick of it. We're not gonna tolerate it anymore. We're gonna go on. You like your Hamas. And we got the black guys on our side now. At the end, the black's like, yeah, man, we're sick of it, too. Like, all right, here we go.

[Brady]

Sit back. My buddy from college, he's Jewish. It's his birthday, and it was my birthday. We're on the basis a day apart. We had birthdays very close together. I'm fat and he's Jewish, And I go, hey, it's Fat Tuesday.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. All right, well, that's great. Good.

[Brady]

He laughed.

[John Holmberg]

Sure. Because it's a fun joke.

[Dick Toledo]

Circular way to get around.

[John Holmberg]

I'm fat, he's Jewish. Tuesdays on Fox.

[Brady]

I hate you, Brady.

[John Holmberg]

No, that's a good one. It's a good joke. Good jokes are still good. Jews appreciate that. They're funny people. They just don't like showing up to work with the word dirty Jew written on the door. I mean, that's basically what the commercial taught me. This one says, there's a Jew commercial. I passed that one over. Okay, That's enough. See, it doesn't do anything. It makes people. It makes people worse. Turn around. And you know what? It should have been that kid gets that this would have been better. Kid gets the locker, sees dirty Jew written on it. They show his eyes, they light on fire, and he's just hellfire through the entire school. And then he's standing at the end.

[Dick Toledo]

Just breathing sparks him like he's one of the boys.

[John Holmberg]

Just bodies everywhere square. And it's like. And then it just says, don't mess with the Jews, and that's it. And then blue square. That, and the blacks are like, jesus Christ. Okay, I got you, brother. I just. I just thought it was weird. Of course I'm. The commercial's not going to change you if you're a Nazi. That's. Oh, I feel bad about. No, you're not. Turn it up.

[Brett Vesely]

Turning in my swastika right now.

[John Holmberg]

Turn it up a notch. Yeah, yeah. It's a thing. Anyway, I'm getting all these people joking, says they should fight back. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Jiu Jitsu. No, no, no. It's a Krav Maga. We're not doing that. Anyway, Super Bowl's over. Phoenix Open is over. Everybody get out. Spring training's coming up next.

[Dick Toledo]

How did the Open do? Was it huge?

[John Holmberg]

On par?

[Brett Vesely]

It was good.

[John Holmberg]

Good. Poor. Good point. Pun. Yeah, it was a monster finish. Would have been very exciting if people didn't have their eye on something else, but, man, oh, man.

[Dick Toledo]

Somebody asked if Tripp was going to come to the super bowl party last night. I'm like, no, I think he's still on the green, and it's not over.

[John Holmberg]

He went every day. Yeah, that dude was. He worked it at the Open this weekend. He was there every day. I was there Friday. We stayed till the sun went down, hanging out, and it was fun. Kevin Ray and we went back up to 18 and started messing around with those. The gang from Toyota. And it was fun. It's a good group.

[Brady]

Pros were out working the men at the club I went to, you know.

[John Holmberg]

I. I kind of found it disappointing as far as it seemed this year to be more of a let's just stand around and see what happens crowd. Like, I think it's now it's no longer an active group. It's just stand and drink group. And then kind of look around and take pictures of yourself. Like, it was very boring. Although busy, you know. You know when you go to a place and there's just hundreds of people and they're just standing there waiting for one person to go, all right, here's what we're doing. There was nothing really going on. Nobody watches golf at all.

[Brady]

And then most backs I've seen turn.

[John Holmberg]

Towards, oh, my God, there's nobody watching. A couple of places I went, and I'm like, it's just a fun place to be, but it's just more just like everybody's sitting around waiting for something good to happen. And there's not a of lot lot. There's not a lot to do.

[Dick Toledo]

Does everybody just fight to be on 16?

[John Holmberg]

No. There's 40 different places you can go now. 16 is awesome, but it's. I mean, it's three levels. Greenskeeper's amazing.

[Dick Toledo]

Oh, it's in my time here, that thing has gotten.

[John Holmberg]

Bay Club, 18, 17. There's. There's place. There's tons of stuff going on. But I was. I was kind of like, on Friday, I'm like, everybody seems to be, like, waiting for an activity, but it's a great event. We. We house a great event. Now everybody go home. What do you got on the big board of musical treats here? While still go with the word raw on our app. Click on the suite that feeds. Download the KUPD app, get on that thing and throw the word raw in. You've got 22 minutes to do that. We'll give you another word at 8 o' clock and you might be in the suite for Nine Inch Nails, just packed full of food and fun. And get you up there. That is the first of many things we're going to be handing out for no reason whatsoever. Just wait for the next thing. My God, we got a big boy coming up in a week or so. This one's great. But this is just a basic radio giveaway. Wait until you hear the new next one. We're gonna keep doing it, 25th anniversary of the show. So we're taking credit for everything that gets given away on the station as if we had something to do with.

[Brett Vesely]

It on this podcast.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, the podcast. Yes, yes. Podcast. This podcast is going strong. It's huge. What do you got? All right.

[Brett Vesely]

On the list, Allison Chains, Chevelle, Volbeat, Kid Rock, of course. American Badass, Megadeth. Peace Sells for all the gingers out there.

[John Holmberg]

The fix.

[Brett Vesely]

Red Skies at Night for the gingers. But we had tons of emails for 3Doors down because Brad Arnold passed away this weekend.

[John Holmberg]

That was hu. It was a big news. He's 47 years old.

[Dick Toledo]

It was quick.

[John Holmberg]

Made me realize also that 3 Doors down had their success. He was 20. Yeah, 2000. Same. When I saw he was 47, I'm like, I played those songs at the other station. So that was at least 25 years ago. Found out it was late 99, early 2000 when Kryptonite.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And a couple. And I'm like, my God, that guy was 21, 22 years old when this hit. Wrote it when he was 20. And those are some heady songs for a 20 year old kid to write.

[Brett Vesely]

You know the hits that they had too.

[John Holmberg]

Smash. Ridiculous. You don't even realize how good it was. I went back and listened, just I was playing basketball and put it in my meta glasses and just started. I'm like, I don't remember all like Citizen Soldier and things like that where it was kind of half hits but you still knew it. But prolific. Like they wrote a lot of songs and a lot of hits.

[Brett Vesely]

So I saw them on their last tour through I think when they were opening up for Shinedown and they were great.

[John Holmberg]

You said that. You said this was just a hit factory one after the next.

[Brett Vesely]

You just knew every song they were playing.

[John Holmberg]

Lying. Yeah. Not My Time is the. I think that's a great song. That's a banger.

[Brady]

When we went to Vegas and saw Shine down, who was the opening band? Was that Three Doors Down?

[Brett Vesely]

No.

[John Holmberg]

No, I didn't get There we got.

[Brett Vesely]

I got there late, too. It wasn't them on that one.

[John Holmberg]

It's a great. I mean, they were. That's a great one. And he passed away from cancer. I think he announced it a year ago in May. Stage four. It's not good. Yeah. So three Doors down. We'll do a little three Doors down for you. Got an email from a guy, says, how about this marketing plan? Kid walks up to his locker, sees that filth written on it, and then they show him at home and he just starts plotting. Gets his dad's credit card, which I'm sure he could, and then he starts buying stuff. He goes, the next day, he's got all these packages wrapped and he's just handing out packages to all the students. They all open it up like, what's this? He buys them all beepers. And then later. Yes, yes. That'll show him. Show them fighting back. You need to see. I like that one. Nice job, Michael. Good plan, but the eye of the Jew from Beer Fest. Remember he got the little Star of David in his eye and he get mad and then he couldn't. It was undefeatable. It's kryptonite from Three Doors Down. This was a sad one. Got lost a couple people this weekend, too. The guy, one of the guitarists from Cake died, and then somebody from Blonde Blondie. 70s 80s disco, weird band, Blondie. So it was like a strange little triad there within a day. But this is a good one. It's kryptonite. We'll go with this for Brad from 3 Doors Down. 47. That's too young. It's 98 KUPD.

[Brady]

[Dick Toledo]

Would you call what we do here.

[John Holmberg]

All your ideas are terrible, Pops, just pipe down. What can we do? No, no, no, no. I do a show every day. What can you do?

[Dick Toledo]

What do you do?

[John Holmberg]

What do you do, Bob? We need to bring more people to. No, no, no, no. You need to bring people to the party. I'll entertain them when they come. Shouldn't we have more? Yeah, that's your job. What do you do, Bob?

[Dick Toledo]

What would you say you do, you.

[John Holmberg]

Say is your purpose? Bob, I have to. You need to come up with more ideas for promos. No, no, no, no, no. I sell your promos. You do that. Bob's. I can't stand them. Anyway, it's time for. Oh, by the way, I got this email before we get going. It says, john, FYI, because of what I said about the eagle flying on that. The most redneck, awesome thing I've ever seen. FYI, patriotism shouldn't be tied to white trash and the military. Some of the black and Latino soldiers were the most patriotic, and they loved that commercial with the eagle on the back. Just FYI, liberal media wants you to think white patriotic equals racist. Back to the fart jokes. All right, J.L. i agree that that's true, but let's be realistic here and tell me right now what race is buying the T shirt with a horse as an eagle riding it? It's going to be white people in Alabama, and it's a funny shirt. It's going to be sold at Walmart. It's going to. And there will be a few. Look, if you can't hear the example, as the averages have outliers on either end. So if you know a guy who. Who goes against the trend, that's what an average is. There's people on this side. There's people on this side, but the majority meet in the middle. Most people with a horse on their shirt and an eagle's riding a horse. Overweight white people. And that's fine. I think it's redneck. Awesome. If I saw a fat dude who had a horse with an eagle riding it on his shirt, I can pretty much describe it. We play that. What color is it? Yeah, come on. He was spotted. If they're looking for a missing person and they said, not real sure the details of him, but he was last seen with a Clydesdale horse had an eagle on its back. Like, it's a fat white guy. There's no. There's nobody out there. It would be surprising, albeit possible, that it would be a Latino or a black guy. But the odds are really stacked against you there. If I'm fandueling or Vegas. Odd in that it is two to one it's a fat white, but I'm gonna throw odds out there that it's possible it's 10 to 1 that a brother put on the Clydesdale Budweiser heavy shirt with an eagle flying on it. And come on. That touched my inner white in a big way. I mean, it's very possible that old English forties could have done a commercial with a horse with an eagle on its back and white people would have been like, I don't like that beer, but God damn, is that the coolest. You still wouldn't have targeted that audience properly. It's the reason why Billy Dee Williams did colt 45 and not horses and eagles.

[Brady]

They grew up together.

[John Holmberg]

John. It was beautiful. It was touching. It got me. I didn't know that was an eagle. When the little. When the little cult found, like, oh, a little bird found. And he's standing in the rain. Oh, oh, that little guy. He's out there and oh, poor fellow. And then the horse went and stood over him like, I'm going to protect this foundational member of American society, this representation of freedom. And the horse saved it. And the eagle was grateful and taught him to Fly. It was the best part. He didn't have a mother. Put it on his back, said, I'll run. You jump off and flap like the horseshoe. The horse mud. The horse knew your job is to fly. Eagle. And then that majestic shot of him jumping that. Oh my God, my inner hillbilly went bananas. Budweiser. Like I lost it. And I gotta give Native Americans they would wear that shirt too. Ironic. Exactly. A Budweiser shirt with a horse and an eagle on it. That's. That is, that's what you wear when you lose all your clothes and you have to go to the truck stop to buy stuff.

[Brady]

Clydesdale chewed up that chipmunk and fed the eagle. It was.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't see that part. I missed that part.

[Brady]

They cut it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, good. But yeah, the. If you, yeah, if you, if your luggage is lost and like, well, there's a Walmart down the street, you're gonna come out of there with one of those shirts and a pair of red shorts and then you gotta wait for your luggage to get found. But don't yell at me about. I know black people and Latinos can be patriotic towards hillbilly stuff too, but the, the majority of people are fat whites that like that. When I watch OP Live next and they're in Arkansas, the odds of a fat white guy getting out of that Honda that smells like weed and Hazen are going to walk towards the cops camera and you're going to see that shirt. It's not happening. So don't yell at me about the outliers. We get it. That's what averages are. I know a guy who's got. All right, you know one guy that's an average. That's of course there out there. Doesn't make the. Doesn't make the average change argument. Drives me nuts. It's eight oh seven. The word is music for eight o'. Clock. And we're here in the middle of the Brady Report. It's brought to you by [e-mail] if you want to get your shady patio, shady and pretty and beautiful, put a big TV back there, can sit and watch this glorious spring weather. Each minute ticks by.

[Brady]

Good Monday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello, world.

[John Holmberg]

Hi.

[Brady]

Happy National Pizza Day again.

[John Holmberg]

He does those a lot.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, this is pizza in general.

[John Holmberg]

That's always pepperoni, right?

[Brady]

Brad's got it.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. See?

[John Holmberg]

Just got a text from Winston and National Poop Day. Winston, my black friend says I ain't wearing it. Of course not. Thank you, Winston. Of course not. I would laugh hysterically. What are you, a fat white? I would say to him, why are you wearing a fat white man shirt? I don't, I, I don't expect you to wear it.

[Brady]

National Poop Day because it's day after super bowl. Toilets are getting worked extra.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Dick Toledo]

Weren't they getting worked Chicken Wings Day?

[John Holmberg]

Look at that. Somebody has superimposed me with wings on the back of a horse.

[Dick Toledo]

That's the one from the ad.

[John Holmberg]

I think that is. Well, because when the eagle spreads its wings, it's like, oh my God, he absorbed it. And it's a Pegasus now. Now. And then the eagle shoots off his back. I'm like, ah, yeehaw. I literally think I yelled yeehaw.

[Dick Toledo]

And then do you think they paid extra for the in game shot of the eagle on the field?

[John Holmberg]

So good. Oh, man. Yeah. Patriotism is for everybody. But let's be honest, the fat southern whites, they do it different. They wear the, they cut the sleeves off of it, but they wear the gear.

[Brady]

The term super bowl for the football game became a term on which game.

[John Holmberg]

I was three. Three.

[Brady]

The name is 1969. Other proposed names included World Series of Football, the ultimate bowl and Premier Bowl.

[John Holmberg]

Part of that was the AFC NFC Championship.

[Brady]

The term bull refers to the bowl of seats of stadium.

[John Holmberg]

Yep. But. But.

[Brady]

It was used by college football in 1902. First it was the east west tournament game in Pasadena, which later became the Rose Bowl.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

What's the other fun fact? First major headliner in the Super Bowl. We talked might have mentioned it last week.

[Dick Toledo]

Michael Jackson wasn't.

[Brady]

Was in 1991. It was not Michael Jackson.

[John Holmberg]

Which. It's the first Subaru halftime. No, it was 94.

[Dick Toledo]

Jesus. You know that one?

[John Holmberg]

No, because it was here and I had to sit through it. And I remember there was a girl I liked at Tony Romos whose mom was one of the dancers and I actually went to her house. No, no, no. They had these weird, like flag waving dancers and everybody could volunteer. And this girl named Elizabeth's mom was of. And I went over to her house. House. I struck out.

[Brady]

Michael, I believe, was 93.

[John Holmberg]

He was up there. The first. Yeah, I don't remember the first one.

[Brady]

1991 was New Kids on the Block.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. But I went over the house and her mom was dressed in this weird kind of pinkish orange. It looked like, like Buddhist monk clothes. Like, it's a big gown. And she's in the backyard and she's doing these dance moves by herself. Eventually, mom look not as good as her daughter, I'll tell you that. She had a high bar to set because Elizabeth was hot and. Yeah. So I went in the backyard and I'm like, what are you doing? She's like, I'm practicing for the hat. I'm part of the halftime show. I'm like, wow. All you had to do was show up at MCC and you could be in it. And like a whole bunch of. They took volunteers and it was bad. Yeah, that was some. Yeah, it was kind of that pink, orange.

[Dick Toledo]

Rockin Country Sunday is what.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I don't know what the outfit was, but she had a dance. Wasn't that. Nope, it was the orange one. I remember being more flowing. I guess it was kind of country, but it was. Everybody was dressed the same color as Patrick from spongebob. And she had that on.

[Dick Toledo]

It's like an odd.

[Brady]

Peachy.

[Dick Toledo]

Fleshy.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And then she spinning around the backyard and I think she had a flag. She had to raise a flag at one point. And then Diana Ross came out and did something. It was weird. Struck out with her daughter in a huge way. Huge way.

[Brady]

The term vague posting is trending.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, those are bigger girls. Yeah. Clint Black was at that too. I don't remember that. That's the one. Here you're showing us the 95.

[Dick Toledo]

That's what it says. 94.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's 94. 95 was the. Oh, that's right, the Steelers.

[Dick Toledo]

So that's the wrong one then.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Dick Toledo]

So let me.

[John Holmberg]

But it was the same colors. It was the weird pink. I just didn't remember it being hillbilly.

[Brady]

So the term vague posting.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Is trending. Vague postings. When you share something that's intentionally vague so you might seem like you're making a point, but you're not. Like, you say, Sabrina Carpenter was right just to drive clicks and make people say, what? What do you think it's what we're.

[John Holmberg]

Saying, right, about women. A long time ago. Started using Facebook when it first, my face hurts a little from the thing. And it made everybody go, what are you talking about? About like, it's an attention grab.

[Brett Vesely]

Worst day ever. Don't ask.

[John Holmberg]

Exactly.

[Brett Vesely]

Then shut up. Yeah, pack it in your ass. Get the hell out of here. I hate people like that.

[John Holmberg]

Pack it in your ass. That's a new one. But that's a great response to I'm having a bad day. Don't ask. Ah, pack it in your ass. You're the worst therapist I've ever been to.

[Brady]

Some dumb dumb in New Jersey needs a new truck after he did donuts on a frozen lake and fell through the ice. Someone called 911 last week after they saw the roof of the truck sticking out of the ice. Rest of it was submerged.

[John Holmberg]

That's never good.

[Brady]

It happened near Eagleswood, New Jersey, just up the coast from Atlantic City.

[John Holmberg]

That's. Yeah, it's never good. Have you.

[Brady]

Turns out someone got it on video. It was dark, but you can see the truck spinning around. Then it stops.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that was the one. Toledo just found the Super Bowl 30 halftime show. They're in the weird flowing gowns like. Like Buddhists. I guess it was more orange. I thought it was pink. Well, it's pink on it.

[Dick Toledo]

It's got multicolored, I guess.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. That was a terrible halftime.

[Dick Toledo]

Using the colors of the logo. Is that it?

[John Holmberg]

It was just an awful halftime show.

[Brady]

Robert Richards, 35 years old. He was arrested by the Thames Valley Police on May 30, 2025. He was in court and he's found guilty of murdering his partner, Rachel Vaughn. And his main concern was being arrested that he was going to miss the release of Grand Theft Auto 6.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Since he's gonna be spending time in.

[John Holmberg]

Prison, he's not coming out in October.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Well, on good behavior, maybe they'll pop you out a little early and get there by Christmas, but we'll all be done with it by then. I can't wait. Visit Holmberg's morning sickness online at 98kupd.comberg's morning sickness. Are they coming out with a new PlayStation for that as well? They're gonna get PlayStation 6 when grand theft Auto comes out.

[Brett Vesely]

So I think it's still on five.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they better not, because I never got the five because I didn't want to play any more games on it. So, like, there's one game I like, and it's Grand Theft Auto, and then the Second one is Red Dead Redemption and I iced both of those on the three.

[Brett Vesely]

When's four? When is the. Do they. We have a release date yet for GTA or.

[John Holmberg]

No, I think it's October.

[Dick Toledo]

Next November.

[John Holmberg]

What? No, it's this. Coming. Coming. Don't say next. That's 2027. It's this year. It's this year. Richard. Don't. Don't. All right, then I won't tell you it's this year.

[Brett Vesely]

Now tell us.

[John Holmberg]

It's 2026.

[Dick Toledo]

November 19th.

[John Holmberg]

Of this year. Of this year.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

All right.

[Dick Toledo]

Not next November because it was supposed to be May.

[John Holmberg]

Have to shut up. It's. No, it's supposed to be May of this year and they moved it to October. Now it's November, so it could still go. But right now. Jesus Christ. I'm going to jump over this thing and kill him. I know he's having a good day.

[Brady]

But Angry Orchard is doing a little promo for Valentine's Day coming up. You can trade your ex's junk in for cash before Valentine's.

[Dick Toledo]

Isn't it illegal to steal their stuff and sell it?

[John Holmberg]

Junk meaning his stuff or his penis?

[Brady]

Clothing. Oh, anything. What they're going to do is send you a postage paid package envelope that you can put the stuff in there, send it to Angry Orchard. In exchange, they'll send you some swag.

[John Holmberg]

So basically you whatever they left at your house after you broke up.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Pack it up, little spring cleaning, and.

[Brady]

Then they'll donate it.

[John Holmberg]

That's nice. To Africa.

[Brady]

Yeah. The other one is Natty Light. I got a promo going that's. They've released a new line of lawnmower lingerie. Cool. You drape your riding mower with this lingerie.

[John Holmberg]

It's different than what I expected.

[Brady]

You get a pack of Natty Light.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, Jesus. All right. If you want to email me again, Jo, about who's going to like that. What in the hell? It's just.

[Brady]

It's like a Drake this lace lacy Shaw over.

[Dick Toledo]

That's all they see is a sheet. I don't see lingerie in there.

[John Holmberg]

I have a cover for my riding mower and it's. It's black. I guess it kind of looks dominatrix kind of thing. Thing. It's just. But. Huh.

[Brady]

Silk.

[Brett Vesely]

That's not patriotic.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it ain't. No, it ain't. Eagle flying off my lawnmower would be better. Yeah. You get a free case of Natty Light and you've dressed up your lawnmower and laundry. You're telling me Mexicans are doing that. No, that's a white guy thing.

[Brady]

You pull that lingerie off, cut the grass.

[John Holmberg]

Don't see my lawnmower that way.

[Dick Toledo]

Texter wants to jump back a little bit. John, I can't let this go. You're being pretty vague when you say struck out in a big way. I think that failure is pretty epic. Epic.

[John Holmberg]

It wasn't good. She came over to my hair. Here's the story. Elizabeth was gorgeous. And I mean like, drop dead. Couldn't figure out how come she kept wanting to be around me, your son. Like, okay, and let's go to lunch. I'm like, all right. And so we go to lunch. Now I'm 22 and she's 16. So I went to her house and she took me to her house, introduced me to her mom and stuff. I'm like, I don't know what's going on here. And then. So went back to my house and that's the one where my mom came home and said, what are you doing? Come here. I'm like, what? She goes, get her out of my house. I'm like, what? She goes, you're going to get us sued. Because she assumed I'd boned her already, but so I had to tell her I have to leave because I. And I was dumb. My mom thinks you're going to sue. For what? I don't know. I give. She's not wrong. We have to leave. I don't. It's my mom's house.

[Brady]

It's complicated.

[John Holmberg]

So then when I took her back to the house, I made a really strange move. Head to the her hand to the back of the head, kind of pull in and got the resistance. And there was that weird kind of face fight for a second and then. Okay. And had a good time. Next time I saw her was like 10 years later and we had a little reunion and she looked even better. Her, she had some bolt ons which she didn't need, but she put in gorgeous girl and we sat down at a table and she, she says to me, so what have you been up to? This, that. And I'm like, I don't know.

[Brett Vesely]

What about you?

[John Holmberg]

And she goes, oh, I work in this job here. And she goes, it's good except for the N words. And I'm like, oh my God. And I'm like, shut up. We're in public. Like, oh my God, she's a racist. Like a real bad one.

[Brett Vesely]

She look good under her sheets and hood or what?

[John Holmberg]

I mean, did she look good under the sheets? I Mean, honestly, even a black guy would have been like, I can tolerate this. Like, it's not that bad. I couldn't believe she said it, though. We were in a restaurant and I thought she was, like, testing me. And I'm like, what the. What did you just say? She was, yes, we're at Black Angus.

[Brady]

Knock it off.

[John Holmberg]

Don't say that. And she's like, oh, I just can't take it. She meant it. I'm like, oh, man, you went full on racist over the last few years. And I giggled hysterically because I couldn't believe someone had that kind of courage. I paid for the chicken wings and we left.

[Brett Vesely]

Of course she had chicken wings.

[John Holmberg]

That didn't mean anything. It was. I had them too. But she was still hot enough to be like, all right, you're allowed one of those. Keep it up, though. She did. I don't. Like, I can't. Like, I'm gonna get spotted. This is trouble.

[Brady]

Got a couple of pretty videos. First one is dropping a £2,200 dry ice cube into the water.

[John Holmberg]

Cool.

[Brady]

I think it's. I don't think this is AI Right.

[John Holmberg]

This is dry ice in a. In a salt water or just.

[Brady]

It's on the back of a plane. So they have it elevated and they bomb. They basically just drop.

[John Holmberg]

They bomb the sea with a dry ice bomb. Now this has to be AI because the camera's following it and then goes back. There's multiple angles. How did you fall for this?

[Brady]

They can have multiple areas of setting up to see.

[John Holmberg]

There's a guy standing on a plane. What is wrong with you? Oh, I fear for the future.

[Brady]

Guy could have jumped out with it.

[John Holmberg]

And filmed it into two different. Two different cameras that, like Red Bull.

[Dick Toledo]

Pays a lot of guys to do stunts. I don't know anybody that's gonna try and do that.

[John Holmberg]

One holds. Look. That's gonna be a tough one. There's a lot of different looks. Looks at this. Maybe it's real, but I'm.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't think Spielberg has a film.

[John Holmberg]

Crew that looks pretty. And why'd you have to drop it from a plane to find that out?

[Brett Vesely]

Like, I could just roll it off the piers.

[John Holmberg]

Right.

[Brady]

Next one's a tough fall. Lady on a boat.

[John Holmberg]

She's getting into or out of a boat and she. Oh, she misses by a mile and goes between the boat and the pier. Holy smokes.

[Brady]

Pulling it into the pier.

[John Holmberg]

She's trying to get on the pier. She's. She's been charged with the rope over the edge of the Pier to pull the boat in. And the husband's like, just step over all way too big. I said, oh, she's down. She smashes face into the boat and then immediately starts crying, sell this boat. Remember. Remember when you said, you don't need a man? Look who's pulling you out of the water. She's in her thong, though. I got to give her credit for keeping it together as best as she. Well, never mind. She turned around. That's. That is not a thong body.

[Brett Vesely]

One piece.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, get one piece. What was the breath packing in your ass? Packing in your ass? Go to the.

[Brett Vesely]

She packed a lot.

[John Holmberg]

Go to that. Everything but water store and get yourself a bigger bikini.

[Brady]

We might have done this one before. This guy gets on a pallet of slump blocks.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. I don't remember it. Oh, being lifted up by a crane and all. He's riding along on the crane ride of slump. And it spins a little bit and hits going up, and it's going a little bit. This looks pretty good so far. There's a. Oh, he hits a wire. He hits an electric wire. Oh, no, he done. He gone. Oh, they lifted that dude right into electric wires. That's a murder. Didn't like working with him, man. That was bad.

[Brady]

Last one's for the Olympics. Guy practicing a jump. He's not for the Olympics. It's probably just a amateur skier going.

[John Holmberg]

Over a little rain.

[Brady]

He knows what he's doing until the landing.

[John Holmberg]

Lindsay Von's it. That's a tr. Oh, he's good. He's Olympic quality. And then just overshoots his last flip.

[Brett Vesely]

Almost have the triple Lindy down.

[John Holmberg]

All right. Fired up. I broke my. All right. He busted his back. All right. What do you mean by that? Your broke back is broken. Why do they do that when they do that? Spinal. Here we go. One, two flips, and then he tries to go for a fifth, and it's too late, and he lands directly on his back. And like Mike says, he broke his back.

[Brady]

What part of it.

[John Holmberg]

Final. All right, next.

[Brady]

That's it.

[John Holmberg]

All right, Brett, what do you got?

[Brett Vesely]

I'm real light today. We'll knock him out.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Somebody just said this coming November is the next November. Therefore the next November. If you're in November, you can say next November. Isn't it this November? Next November would be 2027. This November is 2026. Last November is 2025. This November is the one that's coming next. November is next year. Although it is technically the next November. Very confusing. And why did you do that? James, knock it off. You know what I meant.

[Brett Vesely]

This was just dumb.

[John Holmberg]

All right, Girl reporting in there. All right. I do this all the time. There's a crippled guy walking behind her. And then they put her to the beach. I have. Thriller was at the open.

[Brett Vesely]

Look at that.

[John Holmberg]

It is Thriller walking around the open crippled. And then you add a beat to it and it looks like a dance. It's why Thriller has his song. Cuz Thriller's natural gate is to the beat of the song. All right, next.

[Brett Vesely]

All right, this is. I heard this is like one of the worst jobs in the world. Changing those lights at the top of towers.

[John Holmberg]

Oh yeah, sitting up top. He's changing one of those red lights at the top of a broadcast tower. Oh, and he gets hit by lightning. Oh my God. Is this rain? Why would you do that in a storm?

[Brett Vesely]

I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

I guess you have to, right?

[Brett Vesely]

I guess.

[Brady]

Say I look like he made it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Is that one of our engineers? By the way, wherever there's an engineer that does that within about 500ft, there's. There's a. Usually a young Thai boy. There isn't an engineer out there that doesn't have a. Some small young. And you know why I found this out later? Because they can cram them into spaces. It's true. Well, not like. Well, and maybe that's true, but they always have like a they on call. Every engineer that does that work has a young, small Asian nearby. And they cra. They crash them up into small spaces to go get wires and stuff.

[Dick Toledo]

Who's ours?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. We haven't met him yet. But you know, our guy isn't. He's got a house in the back of his car.

[Brett Vesely]

That's true.

[John Holmberg]

He keeps him in there. I'm convinced of it. There's never. You and I both.

[Brett Vesely]

Super queen.

[John Holmberg]

Super queen. Had one guys that we worked with at the other one. Like he paraded him. Or like I'm like, how old is that kid? He's like, He's 15. I'm like, that's not better. Because I thought he was 8, but he's still underage and you cram him in stuff. No, he's my assistant. And I'm like, you can't have 15 year old assistants. And they jam them into real small spaces. When I had that one dude that did all the wiring at my house. House, remember Eric? And he had that Wade. And Wade. Wade would get in the attic and walk. You could hear him up there because he was, like, a foot tall. It was nothing to him. And then he'd go into corners of attic space that your hand wouldn't fit in. And he'd live there for, like, hours and just do wiring. They all have one or they're small.

[Brett Vesely]

Because we had Mike here.

[John Holmberg]

Remember Melo? Yeah. He was just a little person.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

He didn't need.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he kind of covered both bills there. But was he willing to get into the small spaces? Wow. Yes. He. Yeah, he fought back on everything. You going to climb up in there? No, I don't think that. Why are you so angry at everything? God, yes. All right, next. There's a lady vaping and dancing. She's large. Oh, she got. Oh, something's coming through the house. Something's coming through the house. It's a golf cart. And a little kid is driving a golf cart right through the glass and towing tons of stuff. So does that say tamales on the head? Looks like. Oh, my dear God, it's James.

[Brett Vesely]

It became.

[John Holmberg]

Does it say Jane's? Okay, May say tamales.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, there is a leaf blower up there and everything.

[John Holmberg]

It became the most racist thing I've ever seen. There's a Mexican lady dancing, and then through her sliding glass door comes a golf cart filled with lawn supplies.

[Brett Vesely]

And this one, they said, could have been a backup for Bad Bunny if he didn't show up yesterday.

[John Holmberg]

There.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, no, not this one.

[John Holmberg]

Hang on. All right, that one's dumb Bad bunnies. Okay. This is a. A skinny person in real tight shorts. Oh, God. Something. That's the creepiest thing I've ever seen. That's the entertainment on Toledo's next vacation. Guy pulls his G. Oh, that's all we got. Put that on Facebook. Put that all over Instagram for our pages. My God. I've never seen anything like that. Yikes.

[Dick Toledo]

John, I have to go against your argument because you wouldn't say the house next door is two houses down.

[John Holmberg]

No, I just say next door. Right, but it is the next door. Right, but if. Yeah. I don't know. It's hard. There's a reason to get on this. Jo says we call them IBMs, John. Itty bitty Mexicans. We all have one. You have to. There's those tight little crawl spaces. You got to shove those people in there. They've got them.

[Dick Toledo]

Brady's gonna own that IBM for the next 10 years.

[John Holmberg]

He already owns something else. He's got to own an IBM, too. Okay, it's 8:30.

[Dick Toledo]

What race is your pool guy?

[John Holmberg]

You do yourself. He's America is you. What happened? I don't want to know. All right. The word for 8 o' clock is music. We got 30 more minutes to get that one in on the app. Go to the 98KUPD app or 98KUPD.com and put in the word music for the 8 o' clock hour and qualify yourself for the 9 inch nail sweet that feeds means it's packed full of food. You got the sweet there at Desert Diamond. You're gonna be in good shape. Nine Inch Nails will be here in three weeks. Imagine that. Is that amazing. Nine Inch Nails for you are gonna give you tickets all day long, every hour on the hour. We are going to give you another word to throw into the app. Keep qualifying yourself, and maybe you'll be at the big show. This is just one of many of these we're gonna start putting together. Get ready. Celebrating 25 years here on KUPD. We're gonna start giving you guys all we're worth. It's 98 KUPD. There goes your Brady Report.

[Brady]

Hey, it's not weird. It's pret.

[Brett Vesely]

Actually.

[John Holmberg]

No membership fees. I have heard enough of this. Morning sickness. You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. 98K, the podcast that keeps podcasting right now for another 11 minutes, you can put the word music into the KUPD app for the sweep that feeds Nine Inch Nails. We're doing it this morning. We're going to do it all day long. Larry's got them, Shannon's got them, Jeff's got them. We're all loaded up. Every hour, you'll get a new word to put into the app. And once you put it in there, you're qualified. And we're gonna do drawings to get people into their final qualification. So you're in there. They'll just be in the drawing for today. And that's how this works. And you can get that done. Desert Diamond Arena. They'll set you up in the party suite, get you the Nine Inch Nail show for free, feed you for free. And all you gotta do is listen to this show and put the code word [e-mail] or on the app. Simple stuff. The word for 8 o' clock is music. I'll give you the word for nine o'. Clock. Nine. You got yours and Brady's done. Brady might win.

[Brady]

Get me some nachos.

[John Holmberg]

Get some of those hot dogs. Nachos. Chicken fingers. Those chicken fingers. I'll tell you that. That is. They're up there. The chicken fingers in the sweets at the Aramark, or whoever's in charge of the food there at. Oh, my God. Those are ToB drop, or music is the word you're looking for. Right there. Guadalupe Replay. It's too long. We can't get to it. It's already. We've run too late. It's too long. But I have to read this before we get into anything else. It's a friend of ours, Dylan, says that when Brady got his kidney removed a few months ago, I didn't think much of it. You guys jabbed at him with jokes. Telling him he's got to lose weight made me realize something. My friends won't say a goddamn thing to me about being massive. I'm six two. I was 350 pounds and I had an epiphany. I was at my heaviest and I knew I had to change something because you assholes were being mean to another guy that needed to lose weight. And I needed that in my life. It's been a month I've taken weight loss seriously. And since January 1st, when I weighed 345 pounds, I'm now down to 320. And honestly, I feel a lot better. Better. So if you read this on the air, send this message to my fellow whales. Get your fat ass in the gym. Thank you, Dylan. That's well done. See, Brad, it's friends like us that save lives.

[Brett Vesely]

This podcast is.

[John Holmberg]

It's a lifesaver.

[Brett Vesely]

Saving lives.

[John Holmberg]

If you've got a big fat friend who's not going to make it, you got to tell him. That's what friends do. You are not going to make it. Look at Brady. He's over here throwing, thriving because of.

[Brett Vesely]

This podcast, because of you and me.

[John Holmberg]

It's exactly right. I don't know if he's sticking with it right now. It's a little early to start hitting him, but we'll make sure he's all right. Good friends tell you you shouldn't do so much cocaine. That's a good friend saying you might have a problem. You're a gambling addict. I can't give you any more money. I could be a blowing up. Your heart's gonna explode. What's wrong with you? There's nothing wrong. Wrongly, it means you care. It's like with your wife and stuff. If you start having a tap dance and honesty has consequences, maybe you've lost yourself. Honesty has more consequences than lying. That's true. Because when you're honest, you have to take the immediate blowback when you lie. At least you dodged it. For a little while. But honesty, when you have to start dodging honesty because it's protecting someone else's a. I guess, better world or best interests, You've lost yourself. You haven't lost someone else. You've lost you. Brett. You should stop killing people.

[Brady]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[John Holmberg]

See that? Somebody who cares.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, I don't do that.

[John Holmberg]

It's going to end badly.

[Brady]

Just kicking business. Just keep kicking it down the road.

[Brett Vesely]

Mind your own business.

[John Holmberg]

See, and I'm fine with your response, but that's you dealing with reality. And I just let you know I put it out in the ether. I know. No, I shouldn't drink so much diet soda. I was off it for a while. I felt good. I got right back on. And know who I blame for that? My doctor friend Frank, who guzzles Diet Coke like I do, and he's like a renowned surgeon. I'm like, well, if he's doing it, I'm like, is it hurting? He goes, no, it's fine. I'm like, what am I waiting for? Off the Coke Zero for, like, I do it two months. I love that stuff. And he's just as bad as me. We're 10, 11 deep a day. And I'm like. Like, this incredible surgeon thinks it's fine. I'm going in the jug of coffee.

[Brady]

Come on.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I'm starting that now. I like. I don't like the taste of it, but I've noticed my bowel movements are fantastic since this coffee thing, whatever batch.

[Brady]

You got going in there, it smelled good this morning.

[John Holmberg]

It's hazelnut. It's mostly creamer. It's almost. I might as well just put coffee in the creamer thing and drink that. I don't like coffee, but I just gave it a try because everybody says she's shooting should. And now I make a pot every morning, and I drink the whole thing. And then somewhere around noon, I like a goose for an hour. And then I feel great. I don't have any food in me at all, ever. When I do the pot of coffee. Morning. The rest of the day, I am clean. And, I mean, it's flying out of me. I sit down and laugh. It is like. Like it's. I can't. I can't really.

[Brady]

It's just a good flow.

[John Holmberg]

It is beyond that. It's literally this sounds like this. The babbling. Oh, my God. There's, like, memories from the 80s coming up. Like a ghost will float ahead of me. Like, wow, that's from a long time ago. Oh, my God, that Crayon I ate when I was six. Just came out. It's. Whatever this comes coffee's doing is melting me down. I chair Noble every day.

[Brady]

What flavor did you eat? Crayon.

[John Holmberg]

I ate the purple one once. I know. I. Oh, I used to eat crayons. I thought they tasted great. Play Doh and crayons, man, I ate those like nobody's business. I get that. I start chewing on the end of one. I'm like, that's delightful. Play Doh. I ate. I couldn't be around. Play Doh. I ate tons of Play Doh. I loved that. Oh, you got Play Doh in front of me right now. I'd probably. Oh, probably just off a piece, take it down, drink a pot of coffee and watch it come out. It'll be colorful. It'd be fun. Yeah. I'm dumping hard. And I owe that to Brett because Brett told me about coffee and how to do it. I'm overdoing it, but. Yeah, but my doctor said I'm fine. But you got to be honest with your friends. You got a problem. You got to tell them Brady's still alive, and I think it's more me than it is his doctor that removed the kidney. What?

[Brett Vesely]

You got to tell your ladies, too?

[John Holmberg]

Well, you got to tell them that's a bad haircut.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And, yes, those jeans make you look fat.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

But it's not so much the jeans.

[Brett Vesely]

Hit the heels.

[John Holmberg]

It's not the jeans as much as it is the fat you're stuffing in them. But you gotta. You gotta dance. They want us to be honest. But when we are, there's consequences. So eventually, a man turns, like, 40 and starts going, it's easier to lie to you. You get mad whenever you get your honesty. Do I look bad in this? We're gonna be late. No.

[Brett Vesely]

Can you hear the threads screaming?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Lemons. That should be. I don't need to say anything.

[John Holmberg]

This packs it in, right? Yeah. If we were at the grocery store, I'd put a second bag on you. Double bag, please. You're busting through this. You can't do it.

[Brady]

Paper or plastic?

[John Holmberg]

Both. Because you run the risk of telling them. Oh, no, those. Those jeans don't look good. We're not going. And now you got a big bag. They don't want you to be honest.

[Brett Vesely]

You got a mirror?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You feel good about you? I don't care a bunch of Schwartz.

[Brett Vesely]

If you don't know.

[John Holmberg]

You don't care if I look fat? Oh, I do. I just can't say when you do and you don't. But if you gotta ask. Ladies, that's the rule. If you have to ask, you look fat, right? Does this make me look fat? What do you think? If you're asking. I know you. I know what you actually think.

[Brady]

Fish.

[John Holmberg]

You're trying to see if I'm going to tell you.

[Brady]

Try it.

[John Holmberg]

Guys just make you look fat. Sure does.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't want you to be no Broadzilla.

[John Holmberg]

It doesn't make you look. No, but the cake in your hand does. Put down the hoes, but be honest with each other. Except for women. They can't take it with dudes. Dylan, you big fat ass. I know Dylan works for the Suns. I didn't know you got that fat. I knew you were big.

[Brady]

But Dilly the ticket guy?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Dilly the ticket man. Good dude. I didn't know he'd ballooned up to 350. You're gonna die. He's got a son. You got a kid to worry about. Dylan. Let's drop some pounds for that heart. Quits. Unless that's your plan. We're three minutes away from me giving you another word. And hopefully we can take Dylan to Nine Inch Nails. The 9am Word is going to be D, E, A D dead. Which is where Dylan was headed before he got on this new track. Nice job, Dylan. Proud of you. Keep you around for a while. Dead is the 9am word. You got a couple minutes before that one starts. You can get into the suite for nine in Nails. That's how that works. We got what would Brady do? Coming up next.

[Brady]

It's not weird. It's pretty cool actually. No membership fee.

[John Holmberg]

I have heard enough of this. You PD H's morning sickness. You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. 98, can you EV of D? What would Brady do? H, tight board. Always talk. Oh, it's tight in front of that tight board. Stupid Radio talk. Remember we were on radio a while ago. Now we're doing podcast. We just do this so long ago.

[Brett Vesely]

I almost forgot about that radio thing.

[John Holmberg]

Recording our live podcast here on a radio station. Love it. And that's why you need that app. Get on the app. Go to 98kupd.com those are the two places for you to drop your code word in to try to win tickets to Nine Inch Nails and the suite that feeds all day long. I'm hitting it real hard this morning. So you guys get used to it. But get used to it because we're gonna do this all day for A few days, we're gonna qualify the hell out of you and put you in that suite. We're gonna put 12 of you up there. Six pairs of 10 tickets. That's pretty good. You have a KUPD party. Hopefully all get along. Dead is the word for nine o'. Clock. D, E, A D. And hop on that thing. Knock it stiff, make it a thing. It's time for what would Brady Do? And that is brought to you by our friends at MMP Guns. MMP Guns has Arizona's largest inventory of firearms. That's right. Prices and service. That's hard to beat. Mmpguns.com they do the largest inventory of firearms. They're stacked. They got a lot. 12th street in Indian School heading over there. Gave away the. Gave away their gift card. Yesterday at super bowl, there was a beautiful girl and her boyfriend who won the 0 res carpet. Carpet cleaning. She came up. She goes, I don't have carpets. I've got bare floors. Oh, my God. That was. My brain. Did not.

[Brett Vesely]

It's a beautiful thing.

[John Holmberg]

That's a nice thing.

[Brady]

They can do it.

[John Holmberg]

They'll clean your hardwood. Lady. That was great. She got that. Everybody was happy. Money. Tons of people walked out with 100 bills. Well, gift cards. And then, you know, gave away action Ride shop. Had the snowboard. Snowboard. We got a girl got one that.

[Brady]

And then I got the lap dances.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, the lap dance guy. That was our girl. Our cop friend. And he gave it to the group of dudes in front of him and said, hey, my wife's with me. I'm not allowed to. To do this. And it acted like it was like a cool thing. He really wanted it. But his wife's like, you really gonna use it? He's like, here, guys. And he gave it to the. In front of him. 200. And getting into crazy gym. Not crazy Jim's. That's a sandwich stop. Crazy girls. Yeah, crazy girls. Remember when Crazy Jim's. Because Jim owns. Oh, yeah. But that place was great. And if it came with lap dances, too. Anyway, thanks to everybody who came out. Our super bowl thing. Super Bowl. I've watched in my life. And I. I kept proof of that because people didn't stay to the end. They were leaving in the third quarter. Game stunk. All right. Are you ready to solve the world's problems?

[Dick Toledo]

Ready?

[John Holmberg]

Let's start here. All right. It says, my boss is asking all of us not to discuss politics in the office anymore, which is a good move. Got the email the other day, but I noticed that only the people on the Trump team have f. So far emails and it's become an anti ICE chatter house and nobody seems upset. Set. My boss is super liberal. I'm thinking I'm closing in on retirement. I do not care about any of this, but I do have an American flag at my desk. In the past, I told people I voted for Trump, so they seemingly are talking about this in front of me, hoping I say something so they can tattle. As close as I am to retirement, I'm still struggling with this. Should I just pop off when they start talking about ICE or follow what the boss asks? Asked. Oh, it's a trap. That's a trap.

[Brady]

I'm riding it out.

[John Holmberg]

Got a couple years, brother.

[Brady]

Let him talk away. As long as they're not.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's a tough one. Does your boss have a boss? Because if your boss has a boss and you're like, look, dude, go to him, don't jump over him, but go to him and go, hey, dude, I dig the no politics thing, but not just one side. If I. If I got to listen to these people talk about ice the whole time.

[Brady]

Just be no politics all the way around at all.

[John Holmberg]

And I should be, yeah, I know which side you're on, but don't make me go over your head because these guys are trying to passive aggressively bait me into a talk and then they're gonna tell on me.

[Brett Vesely]

Careful.

[John Holmberg]

That.

[Brett Vesely]

That could seem as a threat, though.

[John Holmberg]

It should be, no, I know, but.

[Brett Vesely]

You'Re gonna make your life hell then.

[John Holmberg]

And there's that.

[Brady]

But then he's thinking about, well, I don't want that to affect my retirement.

[John Holmberg]

You don't have to lose your job at 59 and start. But you can't really lose your job.

[Brett Vesely]

Then.

[John Holmberg]

I think you gotta take the Brady glasses on this one. You know what I suggest for this? Earbuds. Stop talking to people at work. Earbuds. What would you do, Brady? That earbuds?

[Brady]

I don't think I would even need the earbuds.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you can do it without. You can't hear.

[Brady]

So, yeah, I try to keep them on my right side or every once.

[John Holmberg]

In a while when they're like, oh, my God, can you believe ice and this and that. Instead of politics, Brady, you can turn and go, I know. I was talking about that with my black maid, man. I have a slave. Oh, my God, he's got a slave.

[Brady]

Whenever I hear him talk about ice, you.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, start playing a little vanilla. That's a tough one. Especially when the boss fires off. Don't Talk about it. Unless it's the things I like.

[Brady]

They can only talk about it for so long.

[Brett Vesely]

You'd be surprised.

[Brady]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

Especially when they're baiting. You know.

[Brady]

You can cue that song up.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you could. It's not bad.

[Brett Vesely]

Or you let it go.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I think maybe you're gonna have to do that. You could also just fire one of these up every once in a while at your desk. It's every day at noon. Lovely Greenwood, everybody just put your hand over your heart and listen to this for a minute. Don't say a word. It's like, well, we want him to stop. And I'm like, why? You hate the United States? Yeah, try that one. I don't know what to do with it. It's too complicated to be with people. Dear Brady, this is a good one here. I want to pull a prank or prank light on my daughter who dresses like her whore mother. I keep telling her she's gonna get abducted and sold into sex trafficking. She rolls her eyes. But no kidding, man. This girl is gorgeous. Has no idea how men look at her. My friends tell me they can't believe she's my daughter because of how she looks. And I'm kind of Dopey. She's 17. Would you guys help me with a fake abduction just to teach her how scary that would be? I'll rescue her and you guys can run away. What would you do, Brady? I've talked to her until I'm blue in the face, and it seems like it's just making her clothes smaller. Have you seen what girls wear to clubs? And yes, she gets into clubs for 21 year old olds because she looks like she's 25. She leaves the house in shorts and then I see pictures of her in a thong outside. All of that is awesome. As a man, until it's your kid. Can you help me, Roger T? Oh, I have actually. Remember, we were. Well, you guys weren't with me in Vegas last year. We went by that club, there's a line outside and the guy driving us stopped and he goes, I figure you guys just want to soak this in. In. We're on the strip. And he just stopped. And the line to get into one of the clubs, it was just. I swear to God, it was all underwear. Like not in like an old man way. It was legitimately underwear. And I'm like, none of them have pants on. He goes, man, it's. It's crazy how good it's gotten here with just nothing. And I'm like, this is Great. And then you think that's somebody's daughter. How do you handle.

[Brett Vesely]

Should we do yours?

[John Holmberg]

That's what I'm saying to.

[Brady]

I don't think you'll curtail the. The way she dresses so much with an abduction. Just talk about. Yeah, I wouldn't do that.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady]

I just try to say educated on just being smart about things. You can go out, man, but you know, some things. If you're going to the bars now. Yeah, you know, because the big thing that I've seen lately is man, they've been talking about don't leave your drinks unattended. That kind of stuff. It's been around for a while, but now it's seems like it's little resurgence popped back.

[John Holmberg]

Well, never trust someone who brought you a drink who isn't a bartender or waiter. And never leave your drink, ever.

[Brady]

Buddy system.

[John Holmberg]

Always.

[Brady]

Never. Even if your friend's like, I'm. I'm taking off.

[John Holmberg]

Somebody brings you a drink, don't drink it. But she's 17. She's on the way. I mean, we got to come up with a plan. Like maybe seven that one.

[Brady]

You could maybe. Look, I don't. Trying to prevent her to go to the bars to begin with.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's gonna. Good luck. The whore mom is the problem. Like you said, she's dressing like her whore mom. Somebody's buying her these clothes, right? I don't know. I don't have a daughter for a reason.

[Brady]

But then, you know, it's the crowd that they run with too. They're probably all dressing that way.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe like say, okay, hey, you're doctor called and we got to take you in for an exam and stuff. And then pay the doctor an extra couple hundred bucks to give her like all sorts of whore diseases. And then have the doctor look at her and say, well, this is what happens when you treat your body.

[Brady]

She says, I have to wear long sleeves.

[John Holmberg]

You're like a whore. So you got horses and long dresses. I have a doctor.

[Brett Vesely]

Bumps are from.

[John Holmberg]

You know what? Maybe I can get my doctor friend to dummy it up, put his coat on, meet with you and the doctor and say we went over your test. You've got all sorts of horror diseases from treating your body like a whore does and have a doctor say it. I don't know, man. Roger shouldn't have had a daughter. God forbid, man. I would have. I'd guarantee my daughter would be ugly. That's for sure. Because my face. How do you know I know for sure this face. Passing that on to a woman she'd have been the luckiest girl in the world because she had a hole written on her at all. The only thing my daughter would have is a bunch of bruises from the 10 foot poles that knock her away from fellas. I'd much rather have an ugly daughter than a gorgeous one. That's gotta be a nightmare. Like the supermodel ones that go to bars when they're 17 or start coming home with dudes who are like 25.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, the Stephanie Seymour thing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she was in my house 9th grade. Two years later she left with a dude who was 45. Then she married Axl Rose a few years later. After that, nobody batted it on, cuz it's like, well, I know she's 15, but her parents are like, yeah, she needs to be in France with that 45 year old D. She made a fortune doing that. Get her into modeling if she's so beautiful beyond like, she's dumb. Yeah, she's, you know. How do you fix a whore daughter? Get him working as whores.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

All right. Turn them out. You wouldn't turn her out. All right.

[Brady]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Put her in like a chick fil A. You know what you should do is get her a job over there at that corn dog on a stick or something. Make her wear that awful outfit.

[Brady]

I don't think.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, those can't make those sexy.

[Brady]

Top notch.

[John Holmberg]

Make her pay the bills. Well, she'll start an only fans page we have. My friend Joe said that his son came back and his son's a handsome young man. And his mom was mad and said, he's not going to just live here for free. We need to get him out working. She goes, you're going to go work? He's like, am? I said, yeah. And he goes, all right, and you're going to pay us and do all this stuff. So this handsome son of a bitch goes over to like Circle K or something and films himself eating and drinking something and then calls those companies and says, I just did this on my Instagram and I an influence. They sent him like $3,000. He just gave it to his parents because that should cover summer. Like, oh, my God.

[Brady]

You'Re just the.

[John Holmberg]

Type of go getter. Yeah, well, it's like, damn it, you're trying to instill like a work. And he went over there and just did some influencing and then came back and said, I'm gonna. I'm gonna sit on my ass for a little while, but the bills are covered. It's glorious. So beautiful people. You can't really Force them to go work that power.

[Brady]

Get it to go over to a nice country club and be the cart girl.

[John Holmberg]

Cart girl.

[Brady]

Big money.

[John Holmberg]

And she'll still get all that horror attention she's after.

[Brett Vesely]

And she may meet a rich guy.

[John Holmberg]

There you go.

[Brett Vesely]

Then you're. Then you're golden.

[John Holmberg]

Then she's 18, she's with the Belichick situation and you never have to worry about her again. Somebody else's friends. You're gonna like this one. Brady says, can you solve my problem? Brady? My wife and I have been pretty sexless for about a year. I say pretty sexual sexless because on Christmas I got a don't care BJ and a bent over sex doll. She barely moved. I asked her at the end, I said, were you satisfied? Did you finish? And she said, I don't even know if I can do that anymore. So she's clearly not interested and she controls the sex in this life completely. So frustrated. I got caught last month because I paid a girl $300 for sex and she was beautiful.

[Brett Vesely]

Stripper.

[John Holmberg]

I've never done it before, but here's the mistake I made. I charged it.

[Brett Vesely]

What an idiot.

[John Holmberg]

My wife has control of the bills and stuff and noticed the charge. And it was pretty clear. She made contact, asked the girl what she did, found out my wife has a part time job. I have completely provided for her for years. I'm not mad at her for not wanting to have sex, but she's mad at me for wanting it elsewhere. And now she says that she'll never sleep with me again because I have hep C, which I don't. She's just assuming that because of my sex worker. What do I do to fix this mess? I cannot divorce her. It will cost me millions. That's no joke. And I know I'm not alone. Solve this problem for all men. Signed Yarborough. All right, dummy, you're caught again. Your name is Yarborough. You're the only one. You charged the. You charged the hook.

[Brady]

Maybe that's why I was saying that.

[John Holmberg]

And yes, maybe it's a fake name.

[Brady]

Yeah, but not knowing how I got.

[John Holmberg]

Caught, you're not the most discreet person, Yarborough.

[Brady]

Yes, I can fix it. Cash only.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah. Get your prostitutes in cash. Brady's. If Brady's telling you how to pay hookers, you're bad at getting hookers.

[Brady]

That's a tough one because if he says, how can I fix this thing? And she's threatening not to give him sex, I think that's. I think that one that Boat is left. It doesn't matter.

[John Holmberg]

I think you have to pay. You have to pay the millions and get out of this cordone.

[Brett Vesely]

Cordon.

[Brady]

She's hanging in there and saying, I'm fine with the way the situation is.

[Brett Vesely]

That's what she's doing.

[Brady]

That's up to you.

[John Holmberg]

How about this? Find out. He says, you got a part time job, so she's working a little bit. Find out what she can't afford and stop paying for it. And just say, I don't want to do that anymore. I don't think I do that anymore. You know, like, I don't know, maybe she's got some sort of. Like, maybe she gets her hair done every week for a few hundred bucks or something like that. You know, Take away something that you provide to her because obviously it's not the D. Right? Yeah, because she doesn't want that anymore. But she's happy with you giving her all this lifestyle.

[Brady]

Well, that won't matter. I mean, why he's. Because he's the one that does not want the divorce. Divorce because of the financial.

[John Holmberg]

No, I know, but if she's taking something away from him that she's supposed to provide, and that's a controlling, manipulative thing, then you do the same back and say, well, I don't pay for hair and makeup anymore. What? Yeah, that charge is over. Or if you've got her name on a credit card, go, nah, this one's mine now. And you go get your own.

[Brett Vesely]

But they're married, though.

[John Holmberg]

I know, I know, but it's going to be a tough one. But you take something away.

[Brady]

Yeah, you could do that. But one. Once you figure out why everything is shut down to begin with, at least find out, like, will you fall out love? Are we.

[Brett Vesely]

Does it matter?

[Brady]

Are we done? Sure. If you want to stay together or if you don't, you know, I mean, she want to stay together.

[John Holmberg]

She's basically holding him hostage for the money.

[Brett Vesely]

It's like, why did the Titanic sink? It doesn't matter. It's down there.

[John Holmberg]

Who cares, right?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Once you solve that, two pieces.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, there you go.

[John Holmberg]

He's gonna get half.

[Brady]

Sure.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Get split in half.

[Brady]

Split.

[John Holmberg]

Titanic is the ultimate divorce.

[Brett Vesely]

Amara says start moving those assets to other people or shell companies. Start now.

[John Holmberg]

Start manipulating the cash.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

All right. I don't know if that's a thing. Yeah, that's a tough one.

[Brady]

It is a tough one because I.

[John Holmberg]

Think a lot of dudes are in that spot. Or you just. You know what? Just be fair. Say you don't like me, I don't like you. And cut the check.

[Brett Vesely]

Might as well.

[John Holmberg]

It's a tough one.

[Brady]

Look, we're going to be floating in August anyway when we have that.

[John Holmberg]

That's. That's a good point. You only got a couple months till. And plus, Elon Musk said we don't even need money in a few years. You're good. Or like Brady said, if you're happy with her otherwise and everything's going well and you're not mad, maybe find out the problem. Prostitutes. Ah, you know what? It's not worth it. Embarking up there, and then you got to spend more money going to I don't know what.

[Brady]

Well, the problem is he's got the. He got caught.

[John Holmberg]

This guy said. Pretty simple for this guy. She can divorce him without his parental tap. Anyway, it's gonna happen now that you're making whores. Time to start selling stocks on the down low and putting money on the side while you're married. You can do that and act like the money was lost in Vegas or something. Start lying and protecting Yarborough. That's right, Yarborough. Can you get this dude to send a contact for that hep c free hooker he's been using, asking for a friend. Yeah, it's expensive. But you know what? What? Find out how those people took Nancy Guthrie and see if maybe we combine the email before. And get her abducted. Yeah, run one of those scams. I don't know. I watch a lot of dateline episodes, and dudes who get into these pickles usually do something real stupid.

[Brady]

His wife, it's like I think about. What does she plan on doing in the future? Finance.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's the thing.

[Brady]

When you.

[John Holmberg]

When you dish her, she's gonna become a sex fiend for the next.

[Brady]

She's gonna get back on the horse in order. She has to.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she don't want to be with you. That's the problem. She doesn't like you. She does not like you. You gotta drill that through your head. She likes what you provide her. She likes the life. She doesn't like you. She hates you. Otherwise she'd try to. And her attempts to try don't outweigh how much she doesn't want to do it. Yarborough's screwed. Says, I know a couple homeboys in Maryville. Take a white woman. We're not gonna get this lady kidnapped. This is. This is where dateline kicks in. This is what a man's brain goes to. And it's one of the first five thoughts. Wonder if I can get her kidnapped after killed. No, no, no, no. Don't Dateline this. You know, it's a sad thing, a thousand women. I think after a certain Learn from.

[Brady]

Tim Lambesis, it doesn't work.

[John Holmberg]

Doesn't work. I mean, think about it. Brady, you look in the mirror every morning. I look in the mirror every morning. Brett, you look in the mirror every morning. What do you think the shelf life is for a person who has to blow us before they're sick of it? Think of it like, would you look at you and go, yeah. Yep, that's a good 20 years worth of awesome blow jobs. I'd quit on you, too. I wouldn't want to do that. Last thing I want from you after 20 years of knowing you is you laying on me. Get off of me. Is that bruh?

[Brett Vesely]

That's me.

[John Holmberg]

The British kidney failed. I can't blame women for looking at us eventually going, that's about enough of that. Revel says, this guy needs to take the OJ route. Cut that bitch in half before she does it to you. You guys are horrible. Yeah, I look. I look at you and I'm like, maybe the first year or two, you're fun, but after a while, you getting on top of me is just awful. And I feel the same way about me. I can't imagine anybody wanting me on top of them. Horrifying.

[Brady]

This Belichick's girl, you know, that'll kick in eventually.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. I mean that. Come on.

[Brady]

But again, she's got her own dough now. She's done. All right.

[John Holmberg]

Eventually, she's going to get tired of blowing Bill Belichick. You know, there's a certain time and it's mostly women. They look at you and just go, I'm not. That's gross. You're gross, Brett.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm not questioning it.

[John Holmberg]

I'm just rolling with the punches. I don't think Matiah wants you to roll over on top of her. Probably get something I of it still.

[Brady]

But they all.

[John Holmberg]

They're all that way eventually.

[Brett Vesely]

It's like.

[John Holmberg]

I can't imagine Ronnie's 20 years in. Megan, 20. It's like, gross. See me walking around with my shirt off. Ew, he looks like E.T. and they'd say they're not visual creatures, but they are. You're disgusting. And so am I. Don't blame you ladies. But you can't blame us either for throwing three Benji's down on some prostitute without AJFC and saying, I gotta get this off my system. Think of it as a gift. Yarborough say, look, I know you don't want me rolling around on top of you, so I'm. I'm kicking in. I'm spending 300 bucks to make it so you don't have to do that. So it's just doing the jobs you won't do. And then it goes back to that honesty thing again. They don't really want you to be honest. Be like, hey, you're not not having sex with me, so I'm gonna hire someone to do that. Just like having a maid. You don't want to clean the house, so we have a girl do that same thing. How dare you? Like, no, it's not how dare you. You've taken it away. So I'm gonna go ahead and bang this hooker. Is that okay?

[Brett Vesely]

Mark said. He said he's are. She's already running the finances for the house. Guess what? She's pulling money to the side. And it's only a matter of time before she leaves your ass.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Starts having sex with somebody she wants.

[Brady]

I think she, you know, I don't know if he can control that situation or make it better.

[John Holmberg]

That's done. You're done, yarbrough. You're done.

[Brett Vesely]

Or take her on a romantic cruise. People fall off those boats all the time.

[John Holmberg]

They fall in love, they say, and they can cry on TV and stuff. And then all that sympathy poon starts rolling in. Don't kill her, but, you know, put her in some precarious situations. Let's go hiking.

[Brady]

Hiking?

[John Holmberg]

Let's go off trail. It's 9:35.

[Brady]

Sometimes the takeaway could work.

[John Holmberg]

What do you mean?

[Brady]

Like we're not working out?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well, then she'll try hard. But that's just a temporary.

[Brady]

Temporary.

[John Holmberg]

Or I suppose then you'd have to keep going back to that. She doesn't like you. You know, the stella gets her groove back. It's not with the dude she was with that goes stagnant. She acts like it's your fault. A year later she's in jamaica taking d like nobody's business. Even though a year ago she was like, I don't think I like this anymore. She didn't like you. Your name is yarborough. You know how hard that is to scream during an orgasm? Yarborough, you choking? Are you alright? Hope you got a nickname. There you go, everybody. That is what brady did and you kind of fixed it. Except for yarborough. He's screwed. There's nothing we can do.

[Brady]

Shouldn't like eatin at the wash. What?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, she's gonna be a lesbian.

[Brady]

No, Yarborough.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, Jesus Christ. You had. I was closing it up. All right, that's enough. We're done.

[Brady]

It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee.

[John Holmberg]

I have heard enough of this. Morning sickness. You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. 98. Love it. Who won?

[Brett Vesely]

Tom Hopkins of Maricopa TV's Tom Hopkins.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. Thopkins, my man. TV's Doug Hopkins kept texting me. He got to go to the super bowl yesterday. And. And you just got. Your buddy Billy was there, too. And both of them just kept firing back. Sucked. Game sucked. Atmosphere sucked. Everything.

[Brady]

The crowd was confused at halftime.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. No.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Well, of course they don't speak.

[Brady]

It's just kind of, like, quiet.

[John Holmberg]

It's like watching Telemundo. You're like, this might be a great show. I don't know. I want to understand telenovelas. I want to watch some of those weird sabado gigante things. That show seems awesome. Everybody's having a blast. I don't know what they're doing.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't know. Those hot newscasters, though.

[John Holmberg]

God damn. I'll sit through it.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, absolutely.

[John Holmberg]

But I don't know. I don't know if they're saying, like, kill whitey the whole time. I don't care. Air. But when I don't know what's going on, I can't really get too excited. But I watch Telemundo sometimes because it's remarkable visually. Tele Nolas. Have you ever sat through one of those?

[Brett Vesely]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Don't know what's going on. Don't know a peep of the words. But those chicks that come rolling through. My God, man. Something, something. Oche. I'm like, okay, night, night. Yeah. Like, it's usually like, El Corte. It's like the dead heart. What. What am I watching? And then hot girls walk by. They're gorgeous. I'm like, I'll sit through this for. They have game shows and stuff. Saba Huante. That dude's been on running that thing forever. And, like, a bee runs by and, like, 95. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a guy is. It's like a guy dressed as a child who's clearly in his 70s is there. And then gorgeous women come by, and they, like, put pies on their heads. I don't. I don't care what's going on. Just don't know. I can't get too excited because it might be horrible. But that was the bad bunny. Halftime shows, Telemundo. Of course, everyone was confused. It's like boom hour from King of the Hill. I don't know what he's saying, but it seems entertaining. It's time now for the entertainment drill. Post super bowl, post Phoenix Open. Little breath. And then we get into that spring training. In the meantime, you know, if you're not seeing everything perfect, look how clear today is. Look out this window, boys. Clearest day ever.

[Brady]

There's a couple of news.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, wait, you know what? I'm not gonna do that yet. I just realized we have another thing. You'll entertain me in a second, okay? Because I just looked up like, oh, my God. Yeah. All right, we'll get to that. Sorry, that's my fault. I got excited about all the other stuff.

[Brady]

We'll be back.

[John Holmberg]

We'll be right back. That's some of your entertainment Drill. The introduction. Brady will entertain you after this visit. Holmberg's Morning sickness online at night a kupd.com Holmberg's Morning Sickness now we've got it straight. Sorry about that, everybody. 10 o'.

[Brady]

Clock.

[John Holmberg]

So I might as well give Larry's word out to start. 10 o', clock, right? Nails. N a I L S. Nails is the word for 10 o'. Clock. You've got an hour to figure out how to spell that one and get it in there on the app or 98kupd.com qualify yourself for those Nine Inch Nails tickets. Nails is the nine o' clock word. And now that we all have an agreement starting Tomorrow at like 6, you need to start reminding me, John.

[Brett Vesely]

It's 6.

[John Holmberg]

One of those deals today was our job to make sure. I'll forget and then you bring it back. That's how it works. All right, Brady. We've done what we do. Entertain me.

[Brady]

Someone bet a quarter of a million bucks on the coin toss. And won. 40 minutes before the game. It was at Caesar's palace. They put $253,000 on. On it. One. 245,000.

[John Holmberg]

Nice. That is a fingers crossed crazy moment. That's got to be pretty great mattress.

[Brady]

Mack lost two mil.

[John Holmberg]

Doing what?

[Brady]

Bet on the Patriots.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I wouldn't have. I wouldn't have put it like I didn't see it being. There's either going to be a blowout or the Patriots would keep it clumsy, close, and they almost did, but they couldn't catch a break.

[Dick Toledo]

Give their defense credit. They played pretty tough in the first half.

[John Holmberg]

All they could to keep that in order. Nine. Nothing at the half. I'm like, patriots are going to put one of those sloppy touchdowns on the board and win this goddamn thing. 10, 9. And they don't deserve it.

[Dick Toledo]

Contributed to my anxiety. I had to leave.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, I don't blame you. You had to go. Being a Seahawks fan, sitting in amongst strangers and just totally focused in. I don't know how you did it.

[Brady]

But the National Chicken Council estimated with we downed 1.5 billion wings.

[John Holmberg]

Damn.

[Brady]

That's enough to circle the earth almost three times.

[John Holmberg]

And chicken wings?

[Brady]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

Just a little butt to wing, all in a linear chicken wing line. Three times, three times around with chicken wings. You fat pigs. That's disgusting. How much ranch was there? Like a full.

[Brady]

If you add, you can cover earth.

[John Holmberg]

Cover that?

[Brett Vesely]

You don't want to know.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, you could. Peter North. Earth in ranch. How much? Oh, my God, that's brutal.

[Brady]

And then you have people bitching about the prices at Levi's Stadium. 20 bucks for a hot dog.

[John Holmberg]

Nobody's bitching. People who didn't go were bitching people who were there. Like they had money to go to the Super Bowl. Yeah, there you go.

[Brady]

They did have the Hammer burger. That was 180 bucks, right?

[John Holmberg]

Don't order it.

[Dick Toledo]

Oh, they sold them.

[John Holmberg]

I know, but if you're gonna about the price, don't get it. I hate when people do that.

[Brady]

When they introduce that said 180 bucks, the hammer burger. There's only 200 available.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, well, then there's a supply and demand issue.

[Dick Toledo]

I hate that people create a scarcity and then people.

[John Holmberg]

Then you sell out people on yelp. Will sit and go. The prices are something. Well, then don't order it. Why are you yelling about the prices if you can't afford it? It's not the. It's not the quality of the food.

[Brett Vesely]

If you can afford a Super bowl ticket, for the most part, you don't.

[John Holmberg]

Care about the beer. You'll go, geez, the beers are pricey. Oh, well, I'm at the Super Bowl.

[Brady]

You load up, tailgate for the most part.

[John Holmberg]

People who didn't go to the super bowl, you know, beers were 25 bucks. You didn't have to pay for that.

[Brady]

What were you expecting? Deals? There's only one, right? There's only one event that does that.

[Brett Vesely]

Really.

[Brady]

It's the masters.

[John Holmberg]

Do they do free stuff?

[Brady]

They keep the pricing of what it was in the 50s and 60s. The masters.

[John Holmberg]

Really?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Can black people buy them? No, probably not.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah, all the concessions can only serve and also tailgate.

[John Holmberg]

Get out of here. Bag of Vance. You're not allowed to have beverages.

[Dick Toledo]

Tailgating doesn't happen at the Super Bowl.

[Brady]

No, you got to pay for that too.

[Dick Toledo]

I mean, there's just. No, there's. You can't bring your RV and your tent and everything. And you're chilly.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's.

[Dick Toledo]

Nobody does that because you're flying in.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's a. It's a different animal that masters things. Interesting though. I know. The Suns have that whole two dollar menu. Yeah, it's like.

[Brady]

It's like a two dollar hot dog.

[Dick Toledo]

D backs have that.

[Brady]

Yeah, but you gotta go sandwich.

[John Holmberg]

No, there's one on the main level. There's not. There's no main level deals. Brady's right.

[Brett Vesely]

The Raiders fans up top there with.

[John Holmberg]

Them, go up and start ordering those two dollar foods. You know who serves the two dollar foods? People lower than them. God knows what's going on in that hot dog water.

[Brady]

Austin Butler is going to play Lance Armstrong in a biopic.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

If it's anything like his Elvis deal.

[John Holmberg]

He'S gonna dive in, do some blood transfusions and you know, really gonna really act this one through.

[Brady]

Gonna remove a ball. Wasn't he a one baller?

[John Holmberg]

Hey, lost it. I wonder if he'll do that. Does he still have his Elvis accent? Because he couldn't get out of it. Jim Jeffries, partly.

[Brady]

It's pretty much gone.

[John Holmberg]

Jim Jeffries is so dead on about that because he's like, yeah, Austin Butler had that whole thing. He's like, he became Elvis and had a problem getting out of it. And he goes, which is crap. It's a acting. But he's such a good actor. He dove into the role and he goes, nobody ever does that. Sorry. I played Hitler three years ago and I just can't get it out. You're a method actor. It's only because Elvis is cool. And that guy, he walked around pretending to be Elvis like three years after the movies. Like, oh, I'm just so immersed in the character. It's. Nobody's ever immersed themselves as Genghis Khan and walked around for two years after. You're just a mental basket case is what you are.

Looks like The Twisted Sisters 50th anniversary tour is off. Dee Snider's hanging up the microphone due to health issues.

[Dick Toledo]

Did you pluralize Twisted Sisters?

[John Holmberg]

Twisted Sisters. Yeah, he did. I caught that too.

[Brady]

Twisted Sisters 50th Anniversary Tour.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but it was. I liked how you.

[Brady]

You said it.

[John Holmberg]

It sounded cuter.

[Dick Toledo]

It didn't sound possessive.

[John Holmberg]

It sounded. It's not like you called it that. Very hillbilly. I liked it. I like the Twisted Sisters.

[Brady]

D's having some health problems. He's got some bad arthritis and says, I'm not singing as good either.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you get older, it goes away.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, he was never a Pavarotti on the mic anyway.

[John Holmberg]

One thing he was though, was volume. Volume, man. That.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, yes. No, absolutely.

[John Holmberg]

Anyway. Well, we weren't going to that anyway. No, thanks. Twisted.

[Brady]

I've always like.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we don't care.

[Dick Toledo]

You weren't gonna go buy the commemorative box set at Marquee? Like all of us up there, you.

[John Holmberg]

Know, I got the Corey Feldman. When I learned my lesson, I might go to a Twisted Sister at Marquee for free tickets, but I'm not spending any money on. We. We're not gonna take a wigs.

[Brady]

He'd sell there.

[John Holmberg]

The Sarah Jessica Parker tour would be fun. But let's go. We're done. The word for 10 o' clock is nails. You go to 98kupd.com or you go to our app and click on the suite that feeds when yourself. Some Nine Inch Nails tickets qualify to get into the KUPD Party suite for when they are here. In just three short weeks, Nine Inch Nails will be here and you guys can be part of that. We're done. Have a great Monday. We'll see you tomorrow. Tomorrow, right here in the morning sickness.

[Brady]

It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee.

[John Holmberg]

I have heard enough of this.
