Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. John’s Return and Michael Jordan at Daytona

Timestamp: 01:16 – 05:38

• John opens the show joking about what he missed during his absence, immediately launching into a bizarre and controversial video involving Michael Jordan at Daytona:
  • According to John, TV cameras caught Jordan jokingly (and seemingly inappropriately) roughhousing with a kid, which everyone glossed over because, well, "it’s Michael Jordan."
  • Quote: “If Kevin Spacey would have done it, he'd be in jail. […] But Michael Jordan finger kid… well, he can.” – John Holmberg (02:30)
  • The crew riffs about celebrity status, rings, and how society gives passes to icons.
  • Discussion turns to other athletes (Tom Brady, LeBron) and at what point in your career you become untouchable, blending pop culture analysis with signature HMS sarcasm.

2. The Nancy Guthrie Tucson Kidnapping Case

Timestamp: 05:39 – 08:30

• John, frustrated from a week without screens, catches up on the unsolved high-profile kidnapping in Tucson.
• He casts skepticism on media narratives and points out everyone’s tendency to quickly lose interest in once-hyped cases, just like the Ukraine/Russia war.
  • Quote: “I remember when that broke out, how many people had the Ukrainian flag […]. Nobody cares anymore.” – John Holmberg (07:18)
• The hosts note the “TikTok attention span” for ongoing crises both at home and abroad.

3. Celebrity Death GoFundMe Fatigue

Timestamp: 08:31 – 10:46

• A critical look at the recent rash of celebrity GoFundMe pages:
  • John rails against why actors like James Van Der Beek and Eric Dane are so reliant on fan charity, highlighting overall public fatigue and questioning why many don’t carry life insurance.
  • Observations abound about relative popularity as seen in donation numbers and the oddity of very wealthy people throwing in “movie promo” donations (like Spielberg).
  • Quote: “Why am I giving James Vanderbilt money to save his ranch? I need rent.” – John Holmberg (10:06)

4. Olympic Hockey and Gendered Politics

Timestamp: 10:47 – 12:21

• John celebrates the USA Men’s Olympic hockey win, discussing the “Disney ending” and Jack Hughes’s supposed gold tooth plan.
• They hover over differences between men’s and women’s sports, particularly comparing women’s hockey and the WNBA, arguing that while women’s hockey is genuinely good, the WNBA (and even a chunk of the NBA) has become hard to watch.
  • John laments the influx of “hostile act” fouls and blames the NBA’s inclusion of female referees for changing the game’s tempo and culture.
  • Quote: “Before women refereed basketball games, we didn’t have hostile acts. That’s a complete woman’s thing.” – John Holmberg (12:15)

5. Mexico Rant: Safety, Cartels & “Going Cheap”

Timestamp: 19:24 – 35:20

• A major focus is John’s argument about vacationing in Mexico—sparked by his friend’s harrowing experience stuck in a cartel-locked-down resort:
  • Explains his view that defensiveness about Mexican vacations is more about saving money than “authentic experiences.”
  • Quote: “Why do people constantly make excuses for the world's like, North America’s butthole? […] It's gross. It’s not the people and it’s not the visuals. It’s because you’re being cheap.” – John Holmberg (23:44)
  • Shares a long, often dark monologue about Mexico's ongoing violence, kidnapping stories, historical and current crime stats, and how Americans rationalize going there despite known risks.
  • Compares choosing Mexico to playing ball in the house—“it's all good till it ain't.”
  • Memorable moment:
    • “I would blow Michael Jordan every day in the month of March before I’d ever take a trip to Mexico in my lifetime.” – John Holmberg (28:59)
  • The crew jokes about property “value” there versus risk, and the absurdity of rationalizing resort lockdowns as if they’re part of the experience.

6. Brief World Travel Riffs (Colombia, Sudan, and “Warlords”)

Timestamp: 32:01 – 34:47

• John mentions other risky destinations (Colombia, Sudan), comparing them to Mexico for listeners always seeking the “next affordable, dangerous” vacation.
  • Quote: “If ‘warlord’ is in the brochure, I’m out.” – John Holmberg (33:27)
  • The crew agrees: just because a place is “visually stunning and cheap,” that doesn’t mean it’s worth the danger.

7. BAFTA Awards and Tourette’s Controversy

Timestamp: 16:25 – 19:22

• Recap of a viral, awkward BAFTA moment where a man with Tourette's shouted the N-word multiple times on stage near Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo.
  • The hosts dissect the incident: was it truly unpreventable, or was there bias in who gets a pass for using racial slurs?
  • Quote: “The only pass, but it’s the only. Taught me something about Tourette’s. He didn’t yell that at Will Ferrell. He was like, oh. So it was in his brain. It was racist, and it was calculated. He just couldn’t keep it inside.” – John Holmberg (17:37)
  • Satirical take on how “the PC-ness” of certain words evaporates if there's medical excuse.

8. John’s Eye Surgery & Listener Reactions

Timestamp: 37:21 – 40:41

• John shares quick thoughts on his recent eye surgery (torn retina):
  • Frustration with listeners who think endorsements/advertisements mean those products are a cure-all (in this case, Lasik and Schwartz Laser Eye Center).
  • Sarcastically discusses the mental toll of eye injuries and catching up with how the show handled his absence (including an AI-generated obituary for John).
  • Quote: “Torn retina is horrifying. […] Nothing will F you up more mentally and physically than when your eye goes south.” – John Holmberg (38:35)

[Brett Vesely]

You're listening to the HMS Podcast, brought to you by MMP Guns.com, your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories. Hey, it's Brett Vesely and I'm here with Byron from MMP Guns. Look, Byron, I have a friend wanting to sell some guns he inherited. What's the best way for him to do that?

[Byron]

Brett, the last thing you want to do is sell the gun to someone who can't legally own one. Tell him not to put himself at risk and come into M and P Guns where he'll get a fair offer and he can rest easy knowing it's not getting into the wrong hands.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay, but what if he lives out of state?

[Byron]

Easy. Legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it. It's really that simple.

[Brett Vesely]

There you have it. MMP Guns or legalgunbuyer.com the safe and legal way to sell your firearms.

[Brady]

Hey, it's Brady from HMS and I'm here with Christy Hayden from the AZ Wildlife World Zoo.

[Christy Hayden]

This is the best time of year to come out to Wildlife World. The weather's great and you have to come out and see our new baby pygmy hippo. And if you want to book a private encounter while you're out, you can book one with a sea lion, a sloth, or our new black footed penguin encounter. Or you can dine next to our shark tank at Dylan's Barbecue by going to our [e-mail] we're located off the 303 in Northern Avenue in the West Valley.

[Brady]

Check out wildlifeworld.com do it today.

[Christy Hayden]

You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it.

[John Holmberg]

What the hell is wrong with you? PD Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Tuesday. It is 5:45. My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett, there's Big Dick Toledo and yeah, that was weird. And then let's talk about what's obvious to talk about. What the was Michael Jordan doing to that kid's ass at Daytona? Did you guys see that?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, no, I missed.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, they fingered a boy for like poking him. He was fingering him and playing with his balls for about a minute. I had to take a week off because Michael Jordan.

[Brett Vesely]

I might let that go.

[John Holmberg]

Well, you make a strong point, Brett, that if Michael Jordan decided to finger my boy, it could be worse. It's not like it's your uncle. Yeah, it's the goat.

[Brady]

That's exactly what the dad said. Hey, it's mj.

[John Holmberg]

Did you spit in his mouth. I mean, come on, be a pro about this.

[Brady]

He's the sponsor of our car.

[John Holmberg]

We won.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Because of his money. You let. You know, the wife was probably like, what did you allow that? Man, That's Michael Jordan. He can finger anybody he wants. I watched that, and I'm like, this dude might be.

[Brady]

It's a little beyond poking.

[John Holmberg]

It was fingering a lot of it and hammering like it was. Look, if Kevin Spacey would have done it, he'd be in jail. I don't watch a lot of Daytona. I didn't. I watched a little bit. Paid attention to the ending. And then I was kind of fascinated by the fact that Michael Jordan's team won. And then that weird thing happened, and it was on tv and nobody really cared. Everybody's like, what was that? Well, and then everybody had Brett's reaction, which was, Michael Jordan finger kid. And who gets like, well, he can.

[Brett Vesely]

Six time world champion.

[Brady]

All right.

[John Holmberg]

You know, hey, I guess if you have enough, there's a chance that a ring gets lost in your son and you make a little money. I don't know what that was, but I didn't like it and. But I giggled and I watched it a lot.

[Brett Vesely]

Look, if Chris Paul shows up. No, no, no, no.

[John Holmberg]

Look.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. No, come on.

[John Holmberg]

Even Charles Barkley.

[Brady]

How many other players get away with that?

[John Holmberg]

Six rings, man. Yeah. I mean, Bill Russell could have probably done it. We had 13 or 11. 11 rings. That's Pat Riley, maybe Phil Jackson now coaches.

[Brett Vesely]

And it's gray area there.

[John Holmberg]

Pippin.

[Brady]

Tom Brady.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Tom Brady again. He tries to kiss his own children, too. Too far. Maybe that's it. You get six rings and you start getting the pass. I don't know what it was, but

[Brett Vesely]

how many did Kobe have? Did he have six or do you have five?

[John Holmberg]

Kobe had five. I don't know. He was there a lot. He lost a couple.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

LeBron's got five, I think, too. I don't know, three? Or maybe not. Maybe four. I don't know.

[Brett Vesely]

Ron doesn't get that pass, though.

[John Holmberg]

No. Because LeBron's just a dick.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Nobody likes LeBron. LeBron. Keep your fingers off the. Off the kinder.

[Brady]

That's one thing he'll hang over. Hey, I didn't do this.

[John Holmberg]

Well, nobody cares. You should have tried it. Nobody that didn't. I thought, oh, boy, we're gonna lose Jordan. Like, this is. This is how he goes down. I mean, O.J. simpson killed some people maybe.

[Brady]

Mm.

[John Holmberg]

And he never, you know, allowed to be a normal person again. And I think that's kind of on par with the same deal. He was definitely fiddling with that boy's balls. Anyway, it's good to be back. I had to take a week off. My eye shot out of my head after I saw that. I'm like, I'm never gonna be the same. Was weird. Very.

[Brady]

And you're. You're watching it by yourself for the most. Over and over. Like, is anyone seeing.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. Well, I checked the Internet immediately. I'm like, I just fingered that boy on tv. You can't do that. I'm positive you can't do that. I'm like, not a legal. I'm not Barry Markson, but I'm pretty sure you can't finger a boy at all, let alone on tv. And he did that. And everybody's like, hey, it's Michael Jordan. You did it. Exactly.

[Brett Vesely]

It's mj.

[John Holmberg]

Come on. Sakes. It's Michael Jordan. Finger your boy. You should be so lucky.

[Brett Vesely]

You're welcome.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, exactly. It was weird, the fact.

[Brady]

I guess the dad stepped up and cleared.

[John Holmberg]

The dad's like, I don't care.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

It's essentially what he. But since when did that matter? That's also bad. Like, the dad is not. Like, even if. Look, my daughter got fingered baked. So what? Like, no, we don't listen to you. But it's mj. Yeah. And not the MJ that used to finger kids all the time and get in trouble. That was Michael Jackson, for God's sakes. More successful.

[Brady]

It's Mega Yacht mj.

[John Holmberg]

The other MJ is not as big a deal worldwide as the first fingering kids. Mike. I'm not saying he makes a habit of it, but it was awfully comfortable. If you haven't seen it, just Google it. Michael Jordan fingers boy. And it. You'll get 20 videos pretty fast. While I was gone, let's just go over a few things. Turns out Nancy. Nancy Guthrie, who I was trying to. I couldn't watch anything. I had to hear all of it. Turns out those kidnappers down in Tucson are. They've committed the cleanest crime ever. There's. Except for. You're telling me these geniuses. I've been on this thing as a fake from beginning. These geniuses committed the perfect crime, but didn't realize that weeds don't cover cameras. And now they're saying that they were there a couple days earlier in the same outfit, just wandering around. That's a complete plant. They're finding gloves in the road. Two weeks later, that whole Nancy Guthrie Thing is, it's. Something horrible is going on. It's a disaster. And let's go talk to the neighbors again. Yeah. And we've. Yeah, I don't think. I don't think. If you've got them now and everybody's blaming the Tucson police. It's not just them.

[Brett Vesely]

They still haven't found her, apparently. Huh. I tuned out. I'm like done.

[John Holmberg]

It's four.

[Brett Vesely]

What is it, two, three weeks now.

[John Holmberg]

You know what it is?

[Brett Vesely]

I'm good.

[John Holmberg]

Discovered this yesterday.

[Brady]

Some days.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I'm out yesterday. I said, you haven't found her yet. I'm not interested. And then I started to think about. Because they mentioned on the news last night that it is the fourth anniversary of the Russia Ukraine war. I remember when that broke out, how many people on social media had the Ukrainian flag. And there were people with them in their front yards.

[Brady]

The forever lights.

[John Holmberg]

Yes. Blue and yellows. And they're like, we'll never ever. And then no more. Let's take it. Nobody's gonna win that. And nobody cares anymore. I remember I was in Sedona.

[Brady]

There was a little spike yesterday because Russian missile struck the Oreo factory in the Ukraine.

[John Holmberg]

First off.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, that struck for you.

[John Holmberg]

Oreo factory in Ukraine. If I was Russia, I'd attack them too. I don't think Russia has Speed up

[Brady]

the end of the war.

[John Holmberg]

All the fat Ukrainians are. That is the disruption of Oreo distribution is going to make some fat Ukrainians unhappy. And I don't think Russia's got an Oreo factory. They probably have a. One of those hydroxy factories. Awful hydrox cookies. But yeah, so that's going on. And then I don't think anybody cares. I don't think anybody cares more than they like a minute. And then the other thing that made me really sad. Cause the last show we did, I was complaining about James Van Der Beek raising $2.7 million on a GoFundMe because he's dead. And then everybody tried to justify that, like, oh, medical expenses and he needed to keep his ranch. And I'm like, that's just not how it works. And Eric Dane died. And they tried that and he raised $458,000. And then it's bumped up over 5. But people don't like Eric Dane as much.

[Brady]

No. Couple of people that worked with him that are very outspoken.

[John Holmberg]

The dude who did Euphoria, which is a show he's currently on and the new season's coming out and they already filmed it. So he's going to be on that. The executive producer of that threw in 27 grand. He tops Spielberg by 2K. But then from there on, if you take out that one big contribution, nobody loved Eric Dane at all. Not even a little bit. And why don't these guys have life insurance? They've got kids. I don't have kids, so I don't have it. But if I had kids, I would have life insurance, like immediately. Because you never know when something dopey is going to happen like that and take you out and then you want to make sure everybody's taken care of and your medical expenses don't drag them. It doesn't make any sense. Air Dane wasn't unemployed. It wasn't like he wasn't an actor for the last 40 years on Grey's Anatomy than he was on this euphoria. He's been on some smash.

[Brady]

He's leaning on Rebecca Gayheart's money. She's the one.

[John Holmberg]

She's the one that would. That I would assume needed the gofundme if she died. Because Rebecca Gayhart's been in like two things. Yeah, he's been. He's on a current massive hit. Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney. Everybody on this show is blowing up $500,000 for him to die. And then you look over at the beak and he's pulled 2.7 million because he was first. If Eric Dane would have died first, he might have gotten the 27 and beak would have gotten 500 grand. But people got drained of it and started to. I think people kind of heard my cry a week ago. Yeah. What are we doing? Why am I giving James Vanderbilt money to save his ranch? I need rent.

[Brett Vesely]

Spielberg probably took some money back and then give me five back.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And Spielberg throwing it in there with his movie to promote. It's also gross. And there was that. And then, of course, Olympic hockey, which held me over. That was so great. Like, I didn't get to see it. I had to watch it in reverse with my head down through a mirror. We'll get to all that in a little while. That was so great. That was such a Disney ending of. And I. I heard that Hughes. Is that his name? Jackie. Is that Jack? Jack Hughes. He's gonna get a gold tooth, which is phenomenal. If he follows through on that. I read that as get a gold tooth foot where he got smashed with a stick.

[Brady]

Maybe we'll see it tonight at the

[John Holmberg]

State of the Union. Yeah. And they were happy to do it.

[Brady]

Ladies aren't, but the guys are. Well, I mean, Trump, kind of scheduling conflict.

[John Holmberg]

Did you hear how he said it, too? I don't know if. I guess I should probably have to invite the girls. I guess they won gold, too. But let's. Girl hockey isn't as good. I mean, he basically said that. And he's not wrong.

[Brady]

Although that was. I. I think that was after they said no.

[John Holmberg]

Well, right. But he said I kind of have to invite him. It wasn't the most gracious invitation.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Now you can come if you want. It was not. Nobody wants that. It's like when your wife just goes, stick it in, and I'll do it. But I don't like it. The. The girl hockey is. You know, as much as I'm down on the wnba, girl hockey is entertaining. It's slower than man hockey, but it's. But it's there. It's quality. It's a quality product. It's not like the WNBA, where it's really bad 80% of the time. And I'll say that about the NBA. The NBA is about 70% bad all of the time now. It's not a good product, period. End of story. And people want to make it a misogynist when you say it about the wnba, but I say it about the NBA. That league sucks right now. It's tough to watch. There's about eight or nine games to watch. But the referees are blowing in, and I blame women for that. They have girl refs now, and they've screwed everything up. Before women refereed basketball games. We didn't have hostile acts. That's a complete woman's thing. That's a foul. Now I don't even know what it is. It's a hostile.

[Brady]

We're going to go back and review

[John Holmberg]

that for a hostile act. I'm like, what in the world is a hostile act? The whole thing is sort of hostile. I'm running.

[Brady]

Look at his eyes.

[John Holmberg]

I know what you were thinking is essentially a penalty now. Yeah, they. They blow the whistle for that guy's, where have you been all night? So, yeah, so women refs have stepped in, and we have reviews. We go back. You know, leave it to a woman to go back in the past. And I check the tape, see what you say. Oh, Christ. All right, I'll. Fine.

[Dick Toledo]

Well, it's now the NBA's time to shine. For us Suns fans, that means fast breaks and buzzer beaters are front and center.

[Brady]

You know, potentially could happen is fouls will be called two days later.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Yeah, two days later. I just don't even know what you were the refs aren't talking to the Rockets like what happened?

[Brady]

Scores changing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. A year later. I don't like what you did in the last game. We haven't even tipped off yet. I just got two fouls and in the hostile act. I'm gonna review your face for hostile act. It's them. It's them. Let's you didn't take out the trash. I want you to want to take the trash out, Hakeem. Well, I don't even know what you're talking about, but did I just fall out of a game that hasn't started yet? Tomorrow's. Tomorrow's game. You filed out.

[Brady]

That's the test. There's a trash can on the end of the bench.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And a pile of clothes. And a laundry.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's done. The laundry's done. But who's gonna fold it? Not her. Look, let's just admit it. It's them. You guys did this. And, ladies, you know you did it. You got emotions involved in basketball. How did that happen?

[Brady]

How?

[John Holmberg]

Hostile act. I watched my reverse watch through a mirror. Horrible. Three basketball games, and all of them, I turned them off because I'm like, I can't. I can't take this.

[Brady]

This was that left or right hand?

[John Holmberg]

Well, first off, there's where your brain is not gonna do well with backwards TV and the screen. You have to. I learned to read backwards in a couple of days on a mirror. On a tv, everything goes scrolls. And I started to see. Started to make sense. It was weird. And then what else? There was. What else did we. What else did I miss

[Brady]

last night?

[John Holmberg]

Geez.

[Brady]

I guess earlier this morning, we lost Lewis.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. Louis from Revenge of Nerds instead. The other thing about the BAFTA awards, which I didn't know. I didn't know Brett went to the BAFTAs. Okay, you can be black, white, or otherwise. You've got to laugh at that. That was horrible and hilarious at the same time. Because a dude with Tourette's at the British Oscars saw Michael B. Jordan and Delroy. Delroy Lindo. And he couldn't help but just scream the N word a couple of times. And the guy who played him in the movie about him won Best actor. So he was being celebrated as, like, look how. You know the way actors do. They get all lefty weird and start talking about, like, oh, we're for everybody, and anybody with a disability deserves to be heard. Except for when he stepped in towards Michael B. Jordan. You're like, oh, my God, the guy's from Stun Delro. He stopped. He stopped.

[Brady]

And then he continued on.

[John Holmberg]

He's like, oh, it's the Tourette's guy. You hope.

[Brady]

And then Alan Cumming had to come up later and say, by the way,

[John Holmberg]

you've been here today. Explain it. Yeah, we're trying to be super liberal with everything. That one. That one took us by surprise.

[Brett Vesely]

I wish Will Smith was up there and seen what happened. Then come down.

[John Holmberg]

Great. Come on. Just smack him. Smack the Tourette's guy. And then hear again. Oh, my God, that had me rolling. Because you can't. There's no getting around it. The political correctness of that word. Destroying everything. Unless a Tourette's guy does it because he can't help. The only pass, but it's the only. Taught me something about Tourette's. They see it. He didn't yell that at Will Ferrell. He was like, oh. So it was in his brain. It was racist, and it was calculated. He just couldn't keep it inside. It's like that bailing out loud. Girl can't see a bald person without going, you're bald. I might not take him out in public ever. But he did it twice. The first time, you're like, shut up. Oh, no. Tourette's. And then he blasts off a second one out of nerves. And, you know, he's covering his mouth like, I can't help it.

[Brady]

Ted, you want to go to the NBA game?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Why don't you take you over to. I think Stomp is playing at Gammage. If you want to go over and watch that percussion, and we go to

[Brett Vesely]

the Boom Boom Room afterwards.

[John Holmberg]

I ain't hanging out with that dude, Tourette's or otherwise. You can say I'm a bigot. I'm not hanging out with Tourette's guy at all. His dad, David Duke, was like, that's my boy.

[Brett Vesely]

That's my boy.

[Brady]

It's just not gonna. You know, it's not gonna matter. He's got Tourette's. Don't care.

[John Holmberg]

Yep.

[Brady]

He.

[John Holmberg]

I don't care at all. I don't like you. You have Tourette's. You're gonna get me fired. He's got Tourette's. He can't help it. Yeah, well, you know what? Keep him away from situations which. You know, what words he uses.

[Brett Vesely]

That's not like it's the first time he used it.

[John Holmberg]

No, I mean, come on.

[Brett Vesely]

Watching different Strokes on reruns.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. He's screaming it constantly at home.

[Brady]

I wish we could add a camera at.

[John Holmberg]

Oh. To watch everybody just go, yeah. And meanwhile, the dude who was playing him in the movie has his BAFTA in front of him like, I'm the best actor of all time. I played this gentleman here. Had quite a struggle, and stop was great. I died laughing. Oh, yeah. And then the other thing I got. I feel vindicated once again. I often complain that Mexico is the biggest dump on the planet and why anybody would defend or wave that flag of that dump of a country. It isn't the people. People confuse that. The people of Mexico. Mexican people. Fine. That country is a disaster. End of story. And there's 24 million escapees. Can't be wrong. There's a problem down there, and I've been seeing it for years. We got plenty of nice beaches over in California, and we got Hawaii and we got Florida, and we got even Texas and the. I'm not even gonna say, like, Louisiana, but there's some of that stuff. Alabama, the Bama shore. Not in Carolinas. Think of all the beaches we have in the States. What people go to Mexico for isn't the beauty and awesomeness of Mexico. It's that it's dirt cheap. And I've said that for years. There's a reason it's dirt cheap. There's a high chance, much higher than. Than Raleigh, that you're gonna have your head chopped off by a drug cartel or be part of some sort of weird thing.

[Brady]

Oh, look.

[John Holmberg]

Beautiful. The mountain towns are so pretty. And no, it's not at any given time. And I've said this about people I've met. I said it about CB Dalloway, who I thought the world of. I thought he was such a cool dude when I was doing all that training over there with him and Ryan Bader and CB And I said, CB Is a trip to Mexico. He's awesome. But it always feels like something could go wrong at any moment. That's Mexico. And just because you're cheap and you want to say, oh, it can go poor. It's so beautiful and it's safe where the. Where the whites are. That's. Everybody says the same thing. And guess what?

[Brady]

Steps away from diarrhea.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not even worried about the food, Brady. You want to take it to food? I'm talking about getting your head chopped off by the drug cartels who are running the entire nation. End of story. You wouldn't go there if it was in Europe. You'd think it was awful. But because it's close and because it's cheap, everybody has this weird excuse for it. It's a dump. Ask any Mexican who escaped it. Like, Mexico's beautiful visually. So San Francisco, also a dump, to be fair. We can say they look good, but there's a lot wrong with it. My friend and I go back and forth, and I transcribed his text to me while he sat in his hotel room in his. Oh, he's there, he's there.

[Brady]

Oh, now it's been lifted.

[John Holmberg]

He got back, he got back at like 4 in the morning. It says, john says, johnny, we have jokingly gone back and forth about Mexico in the past. You have never wanted to come with me. He's got a cabin in Talla Pala palace where the shooting happened. It's in some mountain town. I'm like, I'll never go there. Will you go with me? I will never go there. You always said, you know what's Never a story? 14,000 people heading south caught at the Mexican border sneaking in. You've always told me, enjoy your head while you have it. Enjoy the crappiest place in the western hemisphere. And I always laughed and said, ah, he's an idiot. Well, it looks like I picked the wrong week to prove you right. It says, I've never been so afraid as I was when the stay in place was ordered at my resort. And the barrel of a gun, mind you, was the thing keeping us in. It wasn't a friendly stay inside. It was get the F in there and stay in there or else this entire thing's been a disaster. He lives in like this gated community. I guess it's gated. I mean, think of it that way. He's got the, it's a, it's a golf resort. He's got a place there. He goes, I don't know if it's timeshare or what his deal is. He said, this has been an absolute disaster. I got home 5am Sunday. We were one of the first groups to get out Hawaii. From now on, to quote you again, it's cheap for a reason. You're exactly right, William, exactly right. Why do people constantly make excuses for the world's like the, like North America's butthole is. It's a gross place. And it's not the people and it's not the visuals. It's because you're being cheap.

[Brady]

And most of the time it's not

[John Holmberg]

where they go, oh, it's never there. No, not at all. No. 60 something people got shot when they found this guy because he wanted to have sex with a girl, the El Mencho or whatever his name is, he found, they found out some text and stuff, said, oh, mention is going to have sex and he brings like this entourage of protection with him and he's in the town. 65 people got killed. And there are always like, I had, I sat at my gaze one night with a girl who seemed logical and she goes, if Trump gets elected, I'm Moving to Mexico. And I'm like, you got to be kidding me. Like, Mexico is better than here because of Trump? Oh, my God, yes. I'm like, no. If you have political divides in your brain to where you're like, I can't stand the politics. Mexico can't be your escape route. That can't be the one where you go, there's safe passage. That's where I'll go. It's like, I've got a place down there and I'll just go to Mexico and I'll be. And I'll just, I'm just gonna ride it out while Trump's friend. Like, I understand you don't like Trump and there's plenty of reasons he gives you. But the worst Trump can be is 10 times better than anything. Mexico is. End of story, period, blank. And people confuse that with. You hate Mexicans. No, I root for them. I think that's, you know, you gotta get away from that mess. I understand why you're running out. I understand why there's so many people escaping here. Because you can, at any moment, you can just be enjoying your day. Probably watching Colombian's landscape for you, because I think it just keeps moving south to like Antarctica. Like, they're like, there's penguins doing landscaping down in Peru. But yeah, you're just having a nice day. But then, you know, off in the distance, everybody back in the house.

[Brady]

And now you have a certain number of people that are going down now. Hey, they've lifted back.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, sure.

[Brady]

Things are going to be even cheaper.

[John Holmberg]

You're being.

[Brady]

Because they want us back there.

[John Holmberg]

Yep, you're being cheap.

[Brady]

There's deal.

[John Holmberg]

It is. There's nothing but cheapness involved in why you go, yes, visually stunning. Yes, it's. It's nice so long as you don't get killed. But there's always that option. I've never, you know, it's always a threat. Chicago, yeah, you get messed up in. But for the most part, it's rare that, you know, 60 or 70, the

[Brady]

wrong parts of town there.

[John Holmberg]

Right. But 60 or 70 people aren't going to kill you because they're more in charge than the politicians are. Like, just close. They're close to Chicago. You got one up there that's like, well, there's argument to be made for that. South side, it probably.

[Brett Vesely]

I'll take chances in Chicago over Mexico.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, I'll go to a Cubs game. Yeah. I'm not going down to a friendly between Mexico and the U.S. and Mexico City just because it's like this might end up bad. Morning sickness 98k u p d it's

[Brett Vesely]

Brett Veseley from Holmberg's Morning Sickness. I don't know about you, but I got tons of stuff going on in my life. And of course the yard seems to get neglected. So I figured I need to get some help. So I hit up Divine Design Landscaping. They come out every other week and take care of everything I don't have time to do, and quite frankly, the stuff I don't want to do. As a matter of fact, they're coming out next week to plant a lime tree at the house. Lawn care, irrigation tree work, low voltage lighting, 3D designs, patios, driveways, you name it. For the most part, Divine Design Landscaping can do it. Get a free quote@divinedesign lawn care.com It's

[John Holmberg]

John Holmberg here from the Morning Sickness to tell you about the Core Institute. People who met me found out that I've had four major operations in the last four years. They're blown away. I've had both shoulders replaced and both hips replaced because I was an absolute disaster before my surgeries. I was in pain. Now no one knows I've had any issues. People who hear multiple surgeries assume they'll never be the same again. It's just not true. I'm better than I've been in 20 years. Stop quitting the things you love and get back to being the pain free you you love. The Core Institute.com Holmberg's Morning Sickness and I know it's not constant, but it's enough. Like, we've done this show for 25 years. It's probably the 15th time we've had the. Oh, yeah, they've shut down all Puerto Vallarta because they found all those human heads. That's just, that's a real story. Remember when they started finding all those heads, they're like, oh, these are tourist heads. We got to do something about that.

[Brady]

Bodies hanging on the bridge.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, they have people just.

[Brady]

Yeah, there's just seven of them.

[John Holmberg]

Come on.

[Brady]

Strung up.

[John Holmberg]

That's enough. Enough. It's logic I'm using. Logic is what I'm using. And there's too many times that you hear, wait a minute. What? It went all sideways. And if anybody points a gun at you at the Phoenician and says, get the back in there. Phoenician's no longer on the menu. It's out. Like, I was at the Phoenician once and they pointed a gun at me and told me I couldn't Leave. Like, why? Oh, there's like, a. A drug kingpin that was wandering around Camelback, and. And he. A bunch of guys got shot. But, I mean, the pool is so pretty. You would never, ever start talking about how awesome the biltmore is if 65 people got shot there because the drug lord had a rendezvous and then you got a gun shoved in your forehead, said, get back in your room. You're not going back to the Biltmore anymore. I don't know why Mexico still gets a pass. It's the Michael Jordan of vacations. For some reason, it can do anything it wants. And we still go. Yeah, but it's like a dollar now.

[Brett Vesely]

I'll take a fingering from Jordan before I go to Mexico.

[John Holmberg]

Screw that. It just proves my point. I would, too. For sure. I would let. I would blow Michael Jordan every day in the month of March before I'd ever take a trip to Mexico in my lifetime. I would be. I would. I would develop a. Like, a taste for it. I would have. Oh, yeah. I'd be like. I'd start want. I'd crave it by the ides of March. I'd be like, I need Michael Jordan's blank now. Before. And they're like, you want to go to Mexico? No, no, no. I gotta blow Michael Jordan a lot. I would have throat problems. I'd be. It would be constant compared to a trip to Mexico, because you get what you pay for. Convenience always trumps logic. Convenience always trumps safety. Convenience always trumps freedom.

[Brett Vesely]

So did your buddy call Doug Hopkins from Mexico? Hey, man, I'll take the five grand.

[John Holmberg]

And Hopkins told him.

[Brady]

Hopkins, no offer.

[John Holmberg]

Well, no, there's no offer, because the $5,000 guarantee is worth 17 of those houses. I mean, what'd you pay for that? And he goes, I got it for, like, $28,000. I'm like, Jesus Christ. It's like 4,000 square feet.

[Brady]

I'm like, no kidding?

[John Holmberg]

I'm like, what is that in pesos? And he goes, 75 trillion. It's like, good Christ.

[Brady]

As long as nothing goes wrong with the cartel, I'll have that house.

[John Holmberg]

That's a big ask.

[Brady]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

The word cartel being involved in my neighborhood is too much. We get up, my neighborhood gets upset when. When Indians walk through, goes on neighborhood watch. Does anybody recognize these kids? It's like, jesus, you took pictures of brown people and you scared the neighbors. Like, I've never seen who's who. Who do these belong to? I've never seen these two around. It's only got A bow and arrow and a bear with them. They were just a couple of kids walking through the area. I mean, we had them arrested. We're not stupid. Just in case. But yeah, and cartel. The minute the word cartel is involved and I've told this guy. And then I had another friend also named Bill down there. He's friends with me, and he's the season ticket holder with me for the Suns. And he's down there, too. I don't know where he was, though. I think he was in Puerto Vallarta. And he's like, we had to stay in place. We were texting with him and I

[Brady]

said all of this.

[John Holmberg]

Well, Kevin and I were teasing him before I found out Willie was over there. But Kevin and I were teasing Bill that he's part of that. Like, he killed him. Because I'm like. Because he's like. He's always like, oh, no. It's like, beautiful. I was like, everywhere we went was so nice. I'm like, yeah, look in your rear view mirror. Like, you're. You're putting your rose colored glasses on to get through Mexico because it cost you 20 bucks. Let me be the bravest American alive when I say Mexico sucks. 100 across the board. You can go there. But I don't feel sorry for you when a dude pokes you in the chest with a gun and says, get back in your room. And I feel sorry for you at all. You know the risks of that? Dump. My. My buddy Jani from Sudan. He goes down to Central America. Johnny, you got to come with me to Medellin. Not happening ever. He tries to get me to go to the.

[Brady]

That's the thing that will never be comfortable. I'm telling you, Colombia is the safest place right now.

[John Holmberg]

People talk about that like crazy. And I'm like, it's the cheapest place. You're making it safe in your brain. Sudan. Janny, that son of a bitch, tried to get me to go to Sudan with him that time. And a week later, the whole village I would have been staying in, we'd have left by then. But one week after Janny left on the trip, he wanted me to go on, which was. Was a hard pass from jump. It's Africa. Thank you, Brad.

[Brady]

Come on.

[John Holmberg]

Not happening all the way. It is. I would have brought that Tourette's actor. He's like, no, it's so. It's beautiful. And they will. And he's sending me pictures of people in cupd shirts that he brought with him. And I'm like, that's Lovely, but I don't really think that's. Whatever. And they seem nice and like they were eating, that's for sure. There's a lot of fat guys and. And then a week later, he's like, oh, terrible news from my village. Like, that sentence right there shouldn't be. Should be said in 2026. Terrible news from my village. Like, a pigeon deliver that. No, there were 20, 25 people killed by Warlords. Like, in your village. Yeah. Do the one I was gonna join you in. Yes. And you still kind of shake your head when I say, I'm not going to the Sudan with you. It'll be fine, John. It's so rare. But it isn't. It just happened. It's. There's been. You got a sign. It's been six days since the last warlord killed someone. Warlords. The word, yeah, I'm out. I'm out. If that's in the brochure, it's like, yeah, watch out for warlords. I'm like, no, I don't. I never have to watch out for warlords. If I don't go to where?

[Byron]

Warlords.

[Brady]

I'm on good terms with them.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I don't go where they tell you. You can't talk to the Warlords. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I won't do that. I'm not going to be anywhere near them. If there's a gang of sixth graders who call themselves the Warlords, I'm steering clear of it because they're up to no good. Mexico sucks. Sorry. Not Mexicans. Mexico. It's being run into the ground by horrible people. And just because the beaches are a dollar and beautiful doesn't mean it makes it better. It doesn't. It makes you make an excuse for it. We've got a place in poor Larda. We talked about it off the air. It's like playing ball in the house. You're gonna keep going and you're gonna, hey, we've been getting away with it for a long time. Until that nerf bounces off a headboard and goes careening across the room and knocks a lamp over that your great grandma gave your grandma gave your mom. And the next thing you know, playing ball in the house is the worst idea you've ever had. It's all good till it ain't. Mexico sucks. Go to San Diego. It's almost the same. You go to the southern expense, it's because it's pricey. It's almost exactly the same. Central California's beaches are beautiful, but they're pricey.

[Brett Vesely]

A five dollar corona is better than a 50 cent corona when you know you're not going to get your head chopped off.

[John Holmberg]

$5 corona is better.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Than coming home with your head in the back. Right. Iraq has some beautiful places and they're cheap. I talked to guys who were there and they're like, the whole country sucks. But then there's a couple spots. You're like, this place is magnificent. My one friend was there and he was by a lake. He's like, this is the dirtiest, smelliest place I've ever been in my life. But we're sitting by this lake and we're like, this is gorgeous. Like it was purple and the sun setting. He's like, it's beautiful. And it kind of takes you back to go, oh, it's the people. It's people. It's everybody running this thing that's the problem. It's not the landscape.

[Brady]

I look at it now like Kirby, we look at me like I look at my dad when he went to Cuba in the late 50s.

[John Holmberg]

Wow. You looked at a lot of people before he got there.

[Brady]

I went to.

[John Holmberg]

I missed him places.

[Brady]

I went to Mexico that you can't go anymore.

[John Holmberg]

What does your dad in Cuba have to do with that?

[Brady]

That, that I went to these places where I'm like, this is crazy that he went there. And now these are places you're not allowed to go to.

[John Holmberg]

It's my first Brady story.

[Brett Vesely]

I'll come back to you.

[John Holmberg]

My first Brady story in a week and a half and God damn it, I miss you. I still don't follow, but I understand.

[Brady]

Well, the fact that my dad was in Cuba during that time I was down in Mexico during a time when all this stuff was going on.

[John Holmberg]

But at the same time your dad was in Cuba.

[Brady]

Oh, much later.

[John Holmberg]

I gotta get back in the groove here, Brett. I'm trying follow the bouncing ball. I kind of get what you're saying. What's.

[Brady]

Kirby, you can't go to Ziwantineo or Acapulco. Those have been kind of like shunned for a while. Those used to be the destination.

[John Holmberg]

Sure.

[Brett Vesely]

That was the place of the stars

[John Holmberg]

in the 50s and 60s and stuff. Yeah. In Mexico. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Back before, what, you'd go have dinner and Washington divers? Yeah. Oh, sure. It was beautiful because they had cliff diving and all the beautiful scenery and all that. And oh, guy didn't have a drug cartel running the entire operation. And you probably had to pay a pretty penny. That's why celebrities were the only ones down there now. Any roof with a pack of Shafers and Keystone can roll out in his toy hauler. And $35 later. He spent a month down there. He's got a house. Yeah, I. It's just a bad place. Anyway. What are you gonna do? Jesus. This is pathetically sad. I don't want to read that one right away. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Not right away.

[John Holmberg]

No, no. I'll get to that in a moment. I've only got one good eye. We can take a picture of me and we'll get to my. My story over the last week and my plea to all of you. I've already. I've already saved a couple of people from this. I found some stuff out through this ordeal I've gone through in the last week and a half. That is. It's just mind blowing. What we ignore and what can. What can change. And eyeballs are my favorite part. And we'll get to the whole story later. Are the people who said, I thought Schwartz Laser Eye center was. Yeah. When in my commercials for the Schwartz Laser Eye center, did I say Jay Schwartz will make your eyes impervious to trouble. You'll never have a problem again. In fact, you get laser vision and nothing. Things can still go wrong. I can still get my arm lopped off. Even though I went to the Core Institute. It could still. I could still get your shot redone. Yeah. Yeah. I can still have something happen. Like that is unrelated to the good part. It was so weird that people then. That's just where we are in the world. It's black and white. Oh, he talks about Schwarzenegger, Eisenhower. I guess it's not so great, is it? Like he's not at my house every day. I've never. This problem of torn retina is horrifying.

[Brett Vesely]

You had that done years ago too. Like just like last week.

[John Holmberg]

The cataract surgery I had from son or a trauma from years ago, who knows? But the LASIK had nothing to do with it. But getting good vision is nothing to do. Torn retina is horrifying. I've been through a lot of surgeries. I've been through a lot of stuff. Nothing will F you up more mentally and physically than when your eye goes south. And I'll tell you about that in a little bit. We'll get that. We need a wake up song. 585 9,800 a good one to get a start. I have to say thanks to you guys and Larry for whatever you did here for the last few days. I'm not sure how much I'm going to hear about anything. We're good. Probably a good thing. Hey, Larry brought some bagels in yesterday.

[Brett Vesely]

You missed out.

[Byron]

That's what.

[John Holmberg]

I'm fine with that.

[Brady]

He was a morning cup yesterday.

[John Holmberg]

He sent me a picture of the bagels the night before. Bringing bagels. He was so happy and, like, prepared and the exact opposite of me.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, we just, we got emails. Now we're just trading one Jew for another Jew.

[John Holmberg]

So we got a bunch of those

[Brett Vesely]

emails for a Jew.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but I mean, that's like real Jew stuff. I will tell you this.

[Brady]

It got a little weird on last Friday or Thursday. Larry actually did a AI obituary.

[John Holmberg]

He told me about that.

[Brady]

And he read it, the whole thing.

[John Holmberg]

I'm like, this is where was it killing people. Me. Yeah. I don't know why.

[Brady]

That's very detailed.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I don't know why. Every time somebody gets sick, people like think it's hilarious to do an obituary, a funeral for them.

[Brady]

And it's like there's nothing. There wasn't anything, you know, like wasn't

[John Holmberg]

comedic value in the real obituary. Yeah. He texts me after and he goes, yeah, we did the obituary thing this morning. I don't care what you do. I'm not listening. I'm, I'm, I'm faith. I'm not doing it. I'm miserable. Never been more miserable in my life. And I said, I said, I'm not listening. He goes, yeah, you got a little dark. I'm like, okay, I'm fine. It's not. Don't worry about it.

[Brady]

That's good.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And I'm fine with dark, but dark has to have a punchline, you know, like spitting his mouth like we did earlier.

[Brady]

And then Brett was giving out gas.

[Brett Vesely]

That's right.

[John Holmberg]

That I heard was something. It was raining. Right.

[Brett Vesely]

I was really cold.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

And real overcast, so.

[John Holmberg]

And then people got on their bikes, rode over there, got free gas and went to Mexico. Yeah. Pretty much save more money. Let's get a wake up song. 585-9800. A good one and we'll scream it together. It's 98K up, Arizona's most powerful powerful rock radio station. It's John Holberg here from the morning sickness for lifechangerloan.com. so, as you know by now, if I'm telling you about a product, I am using it, and that's because I don't want to be acc of steering you the wrong direction. I've told you that most clients of life change alone pay off their mortgage in about five years. That means you're not paying 30 years of interest.
