Holmberg's Morning Sickness – "Drunken Bogarine at the X-Men Premiere" (Feb 18, 2026)

Episode Overview

This raucous episode revolves around the team’s coverage of an X-Men movie premiere, with a particular focus on Brady Bogen’s antics while dressed as “Bogarine”—his take on Wolverine. The episode’s comedic highlight is the creative editing of Brady’s red carpet interviews, slowed down to make him sound drunk. Throughout, the crew gleefully riffs on the absurdity of a very revealing superhero costume, red carpet awkwardness, and the resulting viral moments.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Legend of Bogarine's Costume (01:06–03:16)

• The co-hosts discuss the impact of Brady Bogen’s tight Wolverine (er, Bogarine) costume, which left little to the imagination—specifically noting the notoriety of his “moose knuckle.”
• The image went viral across media outlets, sparking a tongue-in-cheek debate about whether or not to further blur out the more revealing photos on their website.
  • "One lady said she went to other stations’ websites to find Bulgarian. You're on, like, nine of them." (01:13)
  • "We blurred it out because Brady's pee pee outline is so clean and clear in the Bo Green costume.” (01:46)
• The crew jokes about the FCC, potential fines, and their responsibility to protect children from unwanted anatomical details.
• Brady/Bogarine describes the experience:
  • “Oh, actually, it’s not [tight]...it just forms to whatever.” (02:44)

2. Red Carpet Antics & "Drunk" Bogarine Edits (03:17–07:20)

• For comedic effect, the crew presents Brady’s X-Men premiere interviews slowed to mimic drunken behavior, poking fun at his earnest but awkward style.
• Encounter with Ryan Reynolds:
  • Bogarine: “What I’m suffering right now is wearing this outfit. I got a little moose knuckle going on, and it’s brutal. Any advice on that?” (04:28)
  • Reynolds’ (playfully dry) response: “I’m faking it right now, but I am crying inside.” (04:41)
• Interview with Liev Schreiber:
  • The team riffs on how none of them knows how to pronounce Liev’s first or last name.
  • Bogarine: “Good to meet you. I am the Bogarine. Watch it. I won’t try to call you. Do you think we do all right in the battle? I only have one weakness.” (05:35)
  • Bogarine: “A buffet. I have that problem too.” (05:47)
  • They segue into a bit about “Pause and Toss,” their euphemism for a movie love scene you can pause without getting in trouble at home:
    • Bogarine asks Liev for a favorite scene; Liev answers, “Body Heat … with Kathleen Turner.” (06:34)
• The group, particularly John Holmberg and a sidekick, delight in how much funnier the slowed-down audio makes the already strange questions:
  • “I could listen to this all day.” (04:55)
  • “More drunk Bogarine later. I can’t get enough of drunk Bogari.” (07:20)

3. Viral Fame & More Red Carpet Mayhem (08:23–09:23)

• The team plays a slowed-down clip of Bogarine’s first interview with Colin Boyd from getthebigpicture.net.
  • Colin: “I think the biggest thing about this night is your moose knuckle in your Wolverine outfit.” (08:50)
  • Bogarine: “It’s covering Arizona like the sun.” (09:02)
• Brady, as Bogarine, continues to play the part, interacting with the crowd and referencing Cameo’s “Word Up” played by a marching band.
  • “Nothing like cameo played by some trumpeters. That’s right, ladies. Wave your hands in the air like you don’t care.” (09:23)

4. Running Gags & Closing Banter

• The crew keeps tossing around references to the “pee pee outline,” Brady’s moose knuckle, and the ridiculousness of the costume, contemplating whether to bring back Bogarine for future events—but suggesting he should wear a cup next time.
• “Saturday at UFest … Bogarine will return hopefully with a cup on this time so we don’t have to see the outline.” (03:07)
• Meta-moments about editing tricks and their love for the bit:
  • “Toledo did a great job with these.” (05:03)
  • “One more moment with a drunken Bogarine.” (09:08)

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

The best of Homburg's morning sickness on the big red radio.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

This is a great thing if you. We're gonna put the adult version out there. I'm getting hammered on the emails. I don't want to see Bogarine pixelated. One lady said she went to other stations websites to find Bulgarian. You're on like nine of them. Was everywhere.

[Co-host or Sidekick 2]

We should add a little Easter egg hunt today. See how many other media outlets you can find. Oh, he's on mtv. Couple in la. Yeah, yeah, nice.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

MTV put pictures of it now. Did they put it on there with his little.

[Co-host or Sidekick 2]

With Liev Schreiber.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

His pee pee was showing too. No, no good. No, no, below the way. Kept it in the upper body because they know how grotesque. They'd have been fined by the FCC otherwise they'd have shown that thing. So we'll have it on our website.

[John Holmberg]

We.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

We blurred it out because Brady's PP outline is so clean and clear in the Bo Green costume. I'll get that. Bob Newhart's office, can I help you? But the. So Bo Green's right there. And then we'll have that. So we got to digitally blur that out. But people want to see it, Brady. They want to see your little. The peanut. The way it's being jammed into that costume.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

What?

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

They're really clamoring for this. There are people saying, why did you blur it out? Let's see what's going on now.

[Co-host or Sidekick 2]

This one, you can see his sliding Shorts.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Is that what you wore in case Wolverine decided to steal? He had no pockets. The only way to get pockets.

[Co-host or Sidekick 2]

Casey got the sign.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Yeah. Casey got the green light from the third base coach. You know, it's a sliding shorts on, but then you can see the shorts are all bunched up. But then there's that one little nub that you just recognize as a human being, as a still.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Still popping through the layers.

[Co-host or Sidekick 2]

It must have been horribly tight.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Oh, actually, it's not.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, it just.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

It just forms to whatever.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

It just outlines your pee pee. Yeah, so we'll put that one up there in an over 18 section because I don't think kids should see that.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Because you can't even really feel it creeping up.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Was it warm in the outfit?

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

The mask was probably the.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Yeah, pretty brutal.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

But other than that, it's got good, you know, ventilation.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Saturday at you Fest, that movie will be number one. And Bogarine will return hopefully with a cup on this time so we don't have to see the outline of his little peepee.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Ref.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

The boxing match.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's right.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

He's going to rep the boxing match with us as Bogarine. If anybody gets out of line, Bulgarian will touch you with his mildly exposed PP tea bag.

[John Holmberg]

Look, look, look, look, look. Look at it. Oh, God.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Get it away from me, man. That's what's gonna suck. Chewy's a. And I'm on my knees. Yep. Level eyeballs to that pee pee.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

But we decided don't have to worry about cancer after.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

That's true. There's gonna be two swallowers in that ring. We've got. We've got the deal on there. We'd played all the red carpet stuff, but we decided to slow Brady down because his interview technique was fun enough and people were asking, let's hear what he'd sound like if he was drunk. So we decided to slow down Bogarine as if he was at the bar before all the interviews for the X Men Origins. And it came out pretty good. Which one is this? Ryan Reynolds. This is the one where he's talking with Ryan Reynolds. Bogarine, drunk on the red carpet.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Go ahead, Ryan Reynolds. One person away.

[Colin Boyd]

I'm excited to be going on the tour.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Ryan Reynolds.

[Co-host or Sidekick 2]

Hey, how are you?

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

I am the Bulgarian.

[Valley Chevy Dealer Representative]

Oh, my God.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Yeah. And the bogus Wolverine. Kind of. Because what I'm suffering right now is wearing this outfit. I got a little moose knuckle going on, and it's brutal. Any advice on that?

[Valley Chevy Dealer Representative]

No, but I just, you know, I'm faking it right now, but I am crying inside.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

All right, I want to get a quick picture, too. Thank you, sir. I look forward to seeing the move.

[John Holmberg]

My pleasure.

[Co-host or Sidekick 2]

My pleasure.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

I could listen to this all day and then.

[John Holmberg]

All right.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Got Lip Shriver.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Sounds like completely.

[John Holmberg]

I know. It's awesome.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Toledo did a great job with these.

[John Holmberg]

And then.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

And then. Liv. Schreiber Brady didn't know how to pronounce his first name. I still don't live. Lev Le. I always heard leave. I've heard Lev. That's what I've heard.

[John Holmberg]

And I don't know because I don't.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

I would say it. Leave. L, I, E V. But I would do what you did and call him Mr. Shriver. But when you did, sounds like you're not sure about his last name either. So you just. But drunk. It's even better. It's drunk. Bulgarian on the red carpet with Liev.

[Co-host or Sidekick 2]

Liv.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Leave. Schreiber Shriver.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Mr. Shriver.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

What's up, man?

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Good to meet you. I am the Bogarine. Watch it. I won't try to call you. Do you think we do all right in the battle? I only have one weakness.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

What's that?

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

A buffet. I have that problem too.

[Colin Boyd]

Actually.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

I have a question for you.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

We at 98 KUP do a thing called. It's called a positive, by the way.

[John Holmberg]

I want you to know that you're.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

The first person I saw when I.

[Colin Boyd]

Got out of the.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

When you looked out there, I saw you crazy. We do a thing called the Pause and Toss. It's a regular movie, non pornographic. That's got a love scene in it that you can pause it and pause without getting in trouble with your wife or significant other. What would your movie be?

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Would pause.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Yeah. Or I would say that's a great love making scene movie, that.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Oh.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

You ever see Body Heat?

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Oh, yeah.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

That's a big one for me with Kathleen Turner and L Y. Good one. All right. I appreciate it. We'll battle tomorrow.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Battle.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Battle.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

He's gone. Get out of here. M. Give me the beginning of that one.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

One more time, Mr. Sh.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

That noise you hear in the bed. We need a wind sock for that thing.

[John Holmberg]

There's a ton of wind in there.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

What were you drinking?

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

No, what it is, is the looping of the Wolverine.

[John Holmberg]

I want more.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

You were doing some, like, hard alcohol or something. And it changes the way you picture it in your mind how it went down. More drunk. Bulgarine later. I can't get enough of drunk. Bogari.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Ryan Reynolds.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Ryan Reynolds. Just the utmost disdain would say, if it isn't Ryan Reynolds, what does he do? Hey, look at you, Mr. Big Beepy. Movie star Scarlett Johansson. Let me smell your finger.

[John Holmberg]

Man.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

I would have asked him that. Ask if you could smell us. That would be great from a guy in a Wolverine outfit.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

What is going on?

[John Holmberg]

What are you, a Time Life operator? Turn it off.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

You ready with another drunken Bogarine? Do we have just moments until the next Bogarine?

[John Holmberg]

Just moments.

[Co-host or Sidekick 2]

Actually, I do have one ready.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

You do?

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Just one.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

All right, which one is this?

[Co-host or Sidekick 2]

This is the first bit we played, the first piece of audio. His first interview.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

Oh, with Colin. Okay, this is a. This is when he first arrived at the X Men premiere in the Bogarine costume. His first big interview get was Colin p. Boyd from getthebigpicture.net who visits us every week. So here we go. It's Brayden with Colin.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

It's Bogarine. Out here live with Colin Boyd is the exciting, exciting night. Colin, what do you think so far?

[Colin Boyd]

I think the biggest thing about this night is your moose knuckle in your Wolverine outfit.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

Getting a lot of coverage.

[Colin Boyd]

Yes, it's. It's wide coverage.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

It's covering Arizona like the sun.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Yeah.

[Colin Boyd]

Especially in that yellow suit. Very classy.

[Co-host or Sidekick (Commentator on Bogarine)]

That's awesome. His jokes are like drunk guy yells. Oh, that's a classic. Bogarine is fun drunk. One more moment with a drunken Bogarine. Out at the with yesterday, we played all the regular ones. Here he is drunk, just chattering away.

[Bogarine (Wolverine Costume Guy)]

All the place is rocking now. Word up, everybody by a marching band. Nothing like cameo played by some trumpeters. That's right, ladies. Wave your hands in the air like you don't care.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Nice.

Let's hear you. Let's hairy carry like.
