John Holmberg
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?
Brent
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
Brady
risk and come into M and P
Brent
Guns where he'll get a fair offer and he can rest easy knowing it's not getting into the wrong hands.
John Holmberg
Okay, but what if he lives out of state?
Brent
Easy. Legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it all online. That simple.
John Holmberg
There you have it. MMP Guns or legalgunbuyer.com the safe and legal way to sell your firearms.
Brady
You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? Walker told me I had aids.
John Holmberg
No.
Brady
Poor little fella. All righty. Five more minutes and you can throw the word purge into our. Our Metallica concert. Sending you up to Sphere to see Metallica in Vegas October 1st and October 3rd. That is pretty awesome stuff as we get you all tuned up there. Get your hotel 200 bucks and fuel. Love it. I had to go to the doctor yesterday for the eye. A little follow up on my eyeball situation. And you know, everything's going really well. And he told me like seven or eight more days, so you gotta. You're in the crux of making this good, right? Oh, yeah.
Brent
Tiny bubbles yet?
Brady
No, I still got a big bubble in the eye. It's about half my eyes bubble. Half my eyes sighted. And it's weird. Like it's, it's. It's going away, but the bubble moves around like, crazy. It's kind of fun. It's like having a constant teardrop affect your vision, and it won't. You can't wipe it away. It's inside your eyes, really kind of at this point, it's gotten neat, but I can finally kind of see out of my right eye. So he goes through, and he goes, now you're at the crucial time where you can start being normal again, but you can also still screw this up. And he said, so you don't have to lay on your stomach. Like you're. I'm like, oh, thank God. And so you can kind of be more positioned. Don't lay on your back. Let's not strain. Don't lift anything. Don't take any heavy shots. Don't punch. Don't get punched. And I'm like, all right. And he goes, these next six or seven days are crucial because you're going to be normal. I'm like, oh. And then he showed me a picture of the bubble in my eye. The. So weird. And then. And I said, that's exactly it. It's a picture of. It's just a ball on the screen. And then you see this line going
Brent
through the middle, like a Magic 8 ball. The liquid.
Brady
Exactly that. It's exactly that stuff. It's that liquid in the Magic 8 Ball.
John Holmberg
Ask again.
Brady
Yeah. Signs say you're blind. And then. So I looked at the picture of my eyeball, and then I said, there he goes. There's the bubble. And he points, right? And it's exactly. Half of my eyesight is affected by the bubble. And I look, that's it. And he goes with, the amazing thing is that that's actually on top. It's not on the bottom. And I'm like. And then. And then I had to be reminded that moment where you realize that we're going 11,000 miles an hour, and then 64,000 miles an hour and 670,000 miles an hour just by being on Earth. We're rotating at 11,000. We're moving at 64 around the sun, and we're hurtling through space at almost a million. That. That sometimes registers with me. And I'm like, huh? And then this guy hits me yesterday with the thing that just mind effed me all day. Everything you see is actually upside down.
Brent
I think about that one of those old cameras, they put you under the. The COVID the hood, and they look under the lens, and everything that you're looking at is upside down.
Brady
It's reversed, but that's this Earth that you see is actually upside down.
Brent
What?
Brady
You didn't know that?
John Holmberg
No.
Brady
Your eye flips everything over.
John Holmberg
I learned something new today.
Brady
There you go. Mess with you forever. Because now you got to realize that Brady's hanging from the ceiling, essentially. Yeah, I know. That's a strong.
John Holmberg
So Rachel.
Brady
Oh, my God.
Brent
Jesus.
Brady
She's the only one that actually, Your eye flips it back over to make sure that you don't get crushed by her. Isn't that crazy, though? Like, everything.
Brent
Oh, look, Brad, I'm dancing on the scene.
Brady
Oh, man. Technically, we're just used to everything being upside down.
Brent
That's wild.
Brady
Yeah. And. Yeah, it'll mess with you all day. And then he's like, yeah. Technically, what you see is the bubble that's affecting the lower half of my vision. Is actually affecting the top half of my vision. But then my eye flips it. Your eye, for some reason, flips everything. All of it is upside down. It's so crazy. But is it because that isn't. Because what I see is upside down. But we just call it right side up. So, again, it's man made to say, this is normal. We could call this upside down and understand what it is. But then it flips. So we just were just. It's such a concept. You can't understand. Everything is actually pointing the other way. What? And again. 11,000 miles, 70,000 miles an hour around the sun, and then the galaxy is just. Just flaming at a million miles an hour. We're doing that right now. You're on a little ball that's currently going about a million miles an hour through the vastness of space. And you're. And everything you see is the opposite of what you think you're seeing. Oh, my God.
Brent
It's working, man.
Brady
You know what? I don't know what's happening, but it's enough to screw you up, that's for sure. Oh, here we go. Saying it for years. John, everything you see is not what you're actually saying. You're being lied to. Everything's upside down. Those kids and stranger things were right. Everything's in the Upside down.
Brent
I haven't checked out any of the things that Jim Brewer gave us yesterday.
Brady
I haven't either. Yeah, Jim gave us a list of things to go down the rabbit hole of.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I don't want to. Not yet. I got to have a weekend to do that.
Brady
Actually, the crazy thing is, after I got my eyes dilated, I'm like, I got a couple hours to kill. I'll go through Jim Brewer's list of Crazy. And. And after the dude hit me with Everything's Upside down, I went back into the Neil DeGrasse Tyson. We're fine. I ain't doing this today. I'm not one. One thing at a time. I could have turned bright red and go crazy. I'm gonna do it on my own time. I'm not on your timeline, Brady. I'll do it when I'm comfortable, not when you tell me to be. I'm doing it. That screws you up, though.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I literally just acknowledge.
Brady
Absolutely, yes, I Learned in the 8th grade, but I get reminded of it every once in a while.
John Holmberg
I mean, maybe I. Maybe I heard it in the eighth grade and forgot. Yeah.
Brent
Just to absorb it.
Brady
You were busy, like, probably writing down something terrible to another guy. And then you and him were laughing at.
Brent
I just said, not with my rose colored lenses.
Brady
Yeah, Brady's. And those things are actually on the other way. Or not on you. The way you say. It's just so weird. Like, all the signs you see are. They're upside down. It's. It's the craziest thought that you brain
Brent
is the one that flips it. Right.
Brady
I think it's something in your retina. No, your retina moves it. And then your brain says, that's better for balance. But it's like all combined. But right now, like, yeah, it's. Your brain can do it, but it actually gets flipped over by your. It's a cone.
Brent
So I wonder if there's a condition where the person. Where it malfunctions, where people.
Brady
Here's the thing. I always thought it doesn't.
Brent
They see everything.
Brady
Here's the thing. I've always said I don't know what you see, what your normal is.
Brent
I know you say this.
Brady
You're assuming my normal is your normal. I don't know. And I've often said that, like, Brett's normal might look neon to me and my normal might look just dull and weird to you.
Brent
Well, you find out, you know, you find out the commonality. At least you say, okay, we agree that this is red.
Brady
No, you agree on. You agree on the word red. You do not agree on the color.
John Holmberg
Well, it's like those Facebook memes that were going around years ago.
Brady
What.
John Holmberg
What color is this? Yeah. Yeah.
Brady
Like, if that I see, that chair is black, and so do you, because the majority of people have called that black. But I don't know.
Brent
I don't see color in that chair.
Brady
I don't. Yeah, I don't either. That chair is colorless. To me. And it can do what it wants in this great nation. That's a good chair. God damn it. I'll. I'll fight anybody who says different, but you and I, through time have seen that as black. I don't know if you see black the way I see black, and I know you don't, because there's that thing where they'll do a spectrum check, and some people will look at a page and see I. And they count out the lines, like, see 34 colors. And another guy will go, I see eight. Like, your eyes don't see the same, but you'll. You'll look at, like. That's why some people are like, that's kind of yellow. And it's like, I think it's green.
Brent
And some people don't bless a certain color.
Brady
Right?
Brent
But.
Brady
Well, yeah, like.
Brent
Like don't pick up green.
Brady
So I don't know if your eyes flip it over and neither do you, because what you are used to is just normal to you. I assume they do.
Brent
We just go with, you know, this chair is black. Okay.
Brady
Yep. No matter. No matter what you see. No matter what I see. We were taught the word black to apply to that. And you might see black and brown, and so the majority of people say, this is black. So you were taught that color is black. And in your brain, you're like, that's black. But it might. It might be bright purple to you. And to me, it's a dark, you know, shadowy thing. But we can't explain it because we. We've normalized in our brain. Your brain plays the tricks. You can't say my green and your green are exactly the same. Chances are they are. But I don't know that I would. Look at you, you know, I mean, think about your. Your. Your eyesight as you. Jesus, this is going to get deep. Your eyesight, as you change with age, it dulls. The colors aren't as bright when you're a kid. They see colors so different, you don't know whose eyes are seeing what. And we just assume we all see the same stuff. I would love to, like, for a day, Elon Musk, plug into Brett's brain and see all the black that he sees.
Brent
You'll see nothing but eggplant.
Brady
Nothing. Yeah, just black colors everywhere. Everything is like a purplish hue. It's everywhere. Like, Brett, is this all you see? But yeah. And I don't know that Brady's like the one of those cartoon hounds that only sees. Like, his colors are kind of gray. Until there's a pie on a windowsill and then that looks like a turkey. Brady could be like a video game where the next thing you're supposed to touch glows like thing there. It's like a pie or a turkey or. I don't know. But it's interesting to think about. And that dude effed me up yesterday because he's like, yeah, actually, that's flipped over. I mean, technically, to be realistic, if this was a real picture of your eye, that would be on the top, but shut up. But yeah, I know. I'm like, just shut up. We're going a million miles an hour. You realize that I can't take all that. But here we sit floating around in our, you know, souped up CRVs or whatever. CRX little thing. We put mufflers on them and do donuts and intersections, thinking we're going super fast and how cool we are. And you are a speck of nothingness floating through a plane. The corner of the interstellar everything. You are in the corner of space. Tiny little dot. And we're so arrogant to think that we're the most important thing. Million miles an hour again, that stat of light speed. In our galaxy, by itself, it would take eight minutes to get to the sun at light speed. Like 30 seconds or something to get to the moon and 200,000 years to get from one end to the other of the galaxy at light speed. That's how big it is. That's its size. That's insane. And you're. And by the way, everything you see while you're going through light speed is actually the other. It's the upside down. None of this makes sense. Why. Why Rachel and Catherine are so mad about being fat and flipping around and mad at a radio show. It should. Should dawn on them that they're lucky enough that we are in a planet that can house their massive size and still go a million miles an hour. And I just got a letter from a scientist that said since Rachel and Catherine were born in the 80s, the planet has slowed down substantially because we're dragging a lot away.
Brent
Yeah, but it's still a restless planet syndrome.
Brady
Yeah. Yeah. Well, they're shaking it off. They're shaking it up for sure. And here's another thing I don't have time for anymore. I'm not going to be nice about it. You're. And I love animals. But enough with the emotional support things. There's a dude, there's a professor who now has he wanted to travel on a plane with an emotional support Chicken. Nope, nope, nope, and nope. You're not allowed to walk. You're walking. You can't get on a plane with normal people with a chicken and try to make us all ha. He delayed a flight. Oh, yeah, they stopped him. He was carrying a chicken around. Anybody walking around with a chicken at the airport, unless it's in Mumbai or Bangladesh, you're not allowed on my plane.
Guest Announcer
It's not.
Brady
I mean, even. Look, even spirit would be like, no chickens. We draw the line right here. Even let you have like your own food on the plane. You can't bring a chicken and call it. And it says. And this is what he said. As a Canadian psychology professor, he studies how relationships with pets support healthy development and has own usual therapy, which is true. Like equine therapy for kids with hippotherapy. The tiz and things like that. There's hippotherapy.
Brent
Well, that's what they horse is called. They call that.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Rachel's going through.
Brady
I thought it was equine, like the equine therapy. Is it hippotherapy? They call it hippotherapy with horses. Yeah. Okay, I didn't know that. So anyway, yeah, there's that. There's all sorts of different animals that will support you, but chickens aren't it. And then so the, the guy said it assists me in my daily life. I feel like she's so smart, she can understand my emotions. And it's an 11 month old bird named Saturday and they, they adopted it
Brent
from a, from that Clint Eastwood movie.
Brady
Look, the rooster. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. When I said when I was sad, she would just lay there and look at me because that's what a chicken does. That's all they do. Trying to figure out what was going on. No, that was you applying that to her brain. In her brain. She just. That's it. That's all she's thinking. And I knew that she was thinking, why are you crying? And it meant the world to me. It's. It's. We got to get back to the straitjackets. No, we've got to get back to the straitjackets. She even crafted. This lady crafted a special diaper for the feather baby so it can travel with her wherever she goes. She's lost her mind and she has no friends. And that's what we need. We need people to set you straight again. If you're walking around with an emotional support chicken and nobody's saying anything, the thing you need most of all is to realize you don't have one good friend in your life. It's like my friend Anthony. I was at the Suns game with him a while ago. And he goes, you know, you don't have any friends in your life. What are you talking about? He goes, you don't have one good friend except me. And I'm like, what's he doing? And he goes, you got something hanging out of your nose. I'm like, oh, my God. Like, I've been sitting here talking to people. He goes, not one of them said a thing.
Brent
There's a sickle coming out of it.
Brady
Oh. And then I'm just turning to people. We're at the Rah Rah room, of all places. And I turn, I'm like, kenzie, was there something in my nose? I didn't see it. I'm like, thank God. Word for seven o', clock, by the way, is Kirk. Thank you, Brad. Hey, Kirk. Kirk as in Hammond. Kirk at the 7 o'. Clock. Word. So, I mean, I'm like, liv, some of my. Ryan was there something in my. And I was freaking out and luckily and even Anthony turned to me afterwards and he goes, they're not going to tell you. They all saw it. And I'm like, God damn it. And I realized that Anthony had just jumped up about seven rungs on the friend ladder because my friend Mark, best friend since fifth grade, he was there. He didn't say anything. My friend Dr. Brink was there. He didn't say anything. Sickness medicate K u p D well,

Brady
All right, HMS Podcast. Time again to let you know where to go for some great comedy in the valley this week. Hit up the east side to check
John Holmberg
out Josh Blue performing at the Tempe
Brady
Improv downtown at St. Up Live. It's the comedy of Phil Hanley for you this week.
John Holmberg
And up north of Desert Ridge, you got Zach rushing and Michael Loftus leading
Brady
you into the weekend where you can see friend of the show Brian Callan on Friday and Saturday. For the complete lineups and for tickets, go to standuplive.com Desert Ridge, improv.com and tempyimprov.com Holmberg's Morning Sickness. Anthony was the only one. If you've got an emotional support chicken, you need an anthem in your life to go, hey, you've gone bad, crazy, and nobody wants to deal with you except this chicken. If you're down to a chicken as your only friend on the planet, do a little self evaluation. Recognize that it's over unless you make some serious changes. Don't dive in and hug the chicken harder. Start to kind of distance yourself from the chicken. So remember when Brady was a kid and took that black lady to show and tell Olive. You know, nowadays they could call that your emotional support Negro, you know, he's not wrong, though. It's a joke for Brett and it's working. You nailed your audience there, Guillermo. Nice job. But he's not wrong. If you start attaching silliness to silliness, people are like, well, I got to take that seriously. Let me be the first day I'm no longer taking that seriously. Especially if you have that now. Brady does have rod.
Brent
She flies free.
Brady
Well, I mean, then she's getting something out of it.
Brent
Emotional support animals, they charge them.
Brady
Yeah, Hippotherapy and equine assisted therapy. Right. Includes that physical and occupation of the horse's gate. Yeah. I have a friend who's got a kid with the tiz, a little tiz, and he's doing the equine therapy and it's do. It's doing them wonders.
Brent
Send that guy with a chicken over to Dubai and get on a plane there because they have falcons. They only allow so many falcons on a plane.
Brady
Falcons are cool, though. And I don't think anybody's like this Is my emotional support chicken does now.
John Holmberg
John. I think Rachel brought her emotional support chicken on the flight too. It was original recipe.
Brady
When I saw that one coming on 52nd street took a long time. Forever wrote that. You were right though. It's a good one still. But yeah, I don't think the emotional bird of prey is something they're really leaning on too heavy in Dubai. Just like the guy's a falcon profession. This is job. And not putting it underneath, it'll freak the falcon out. He's got it. It's under control. But a chicken. No. There is chicken therapy, however, poultry therapy. It's when seniors and care facilities.
Brent
You know what it is?
Brady
Yeah. That is poultry therapy for a guy like Brady. And it's not working. It's killing. But chicken therapy, listen what they call chicken therapy. And this is where we've just got. We've got to normalize as a society and all of us start saying enough. Chicken therapy is used when seniors in care facilities do a thing. Poultry therapy, hen power. They're utilizing therapy chickens or emotional support. Chickens aim to improve mental health, reduce loneliness and combat dementia. And seniors, what they do though is put them to work caring for the chick. They give them a job to make sure that it's not the chicken. Understanding your anxiety, it's you getting up and doing stuff. Because if you don't use it, you're gonna lose it. If you're. If your brain Keep them on the farm. Yeah. If your brain doesn't get tested, it's gonna start shutting down. It's atrophy. It happens in your muscles and your organs and everything else. It says it helps with anxiety, depression and loneliness. It gives them a purpose. So they take old people to chickens and make them do stuff. But none of those old people. The second an old person says that chicken understands me, then they got to go into a different hallway and start getting treatment in another way because they're losing it. It's nursing home schools, individuals, autism, stuff. Like they give them a purpose. It isn't emotional support. Stop it. The chicken does not get you. He understands me like no other human can. Oh, grandma's gone. Time to hospice. That you just get comfortable and lay down, hun. Why? Because you think a chicken can read your mind. And that is the end. It's over. You're not coming back from this. You never hear a 90 year old going, for a little while there I thought a chicken could understand me. Like they never come out of it.
Brent
If that could like detect seizures or something like that.
Brady
You Know like a dog seizure detecting chicken.
Brent
You prove it.
Brady
You both start flipping out and, like, I don't want to be near that. Can we get a little calmer? Animal to start predicting seizures. Starts crowing, she's gonna have a seizure. I'm gonna kill that chicken.
John Holmberg
Brandon brings up a good point. He goes, I've been saying this for years. I think it also applies to smells and taste as well.
Brady
Oh, the eyeball thing. Like, everything's different. Yeah. You've been taught that's what chicken smells like. I don't know what Brady smells when he smells chicken. I know he likes it.
Brent
Heaven.
Brady
Yeah. And I know I like what I smell as chicken, but I wonder if we got to Freaky Friday for a day. And you're like, oh, my God, your smell of chicken is orgasmic. I understand you now. Like, this is.
Brent
This is finally.
Brady
This is ejaculate worthy. My smell is fairly muted compared to that. And you'd be like, your chicken smells like socks. Like, you wouldn't know. We don't know for sure. I'm sure it applies and taste for sure.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah.
Brady
Because you think cilantro tastes like soap and I think it tastes fantastic. Same thing. So why wouldn't our eyes be different? Why wouldn't our smells be different? You know, I could get into Brett's head and. And his hearing could just be like high end distortion. And that's normal to you. And it would drive me nuts. And you'd listen to me and be like, that's what you consider distortion. And that's my clarity. You just don't know. Just don't know. By the way, my friend just text. He said, you can name my son. Justin is the one doing the equine therapy and he's loving it. Sent me a picture of him on the horse. I think that's awesome. But you don't carry it on a plane.
Brent
That one guy tried to. I think I remember it was a miniature pony on a plane. Tried to get.
Brady
No. Yeah. This guy says, as a Jew. Now, you said you're in a crucial time with your eye, so don't look at any restaurant bills because a lot of the times they recommend 25 tips. You son of a. That's not what he meant by being in a crucial time with my eye. The word for seven o' clock is Kirk. Put that in there. Get your friends all loaded up and ready to go on my, my, my plan for you, which is that awesome text thread that you should put together and get all the words and things like that and have people who don't listen to the station fire back and get in there with you. So here you go. That's a good thing right there. Oops, I forgot about that. I can't read right now. I gotta. I'm going through my thing and I'm trying to. I'm struggling to see the thing. I can't read.
Brent
Look, the. Oh, oh, Planner's guy. When you're reading.
Brady
Yeah, I kind of feel that way. I want to say congratulations to Brett again. High five. No kids. And to all you people with kids, I'm sorry. They've gotten dumber than I thought they could possibly get. The Tide Pod challenge. They're doing all sorts of silly stuff. There's a new thing you have to worry about for your dumbass kids. Brady. Starting with Kirby and her dumb friends, the goons of Gilbert. There's a new trend going around called bone smashing where kids are challenging each other to hit themselves in the face with a hammer. Go get them. Go get them. Dumbass.
John Holmberg
Encourage this if you're gonna be that dumb.
Brady
I am. Finally, for Kirby's not.
Brent
She used a rubber mallet.
Brady
Well, that's where they start. That's the gateway. The gateway drug to the bone smashing is the rubber mallet.
John Holmberg
It's the marijuana to the cocaine.
Brady
I can't even get bruises from this anymore, man. I tell you what. I'm gonna smash away her squeaks. If you're clear of this thing on social media, you might not have heard of this, but a 20 year old content creator named Clavicular has started this thing. They will literally take a hammer and hit themselves in the face and try not to smash a bone. But if they do, it's kind of a win. It's an attention. Will one of you parents out there please pay attention to your children for 20 minutes? Stop letting the little plastic man with the flag watch them when they're outside and talk to them here. And again, so they stop this. This is a cry for help. Go on their Instagram again. It's time to toss the cell. That's another moment where you guys have today. Brady won't do it. I don't think he ever has. Grab text.
Brent
Stanley. Huh? The brand of the hammer.
Brady
That's exactly right. You go through Kirby's. I know you won't because it'll upset her and you don't like to do that.
Brent
But not my precious.
Brady
Time to toss the phone. Go through it. See what she's up to.
Brent
I have no doubt in my mind.
Brady
I'm not talking. Okay, you don't know that. That's what every dumb parent says. That is what every parent. Well, no, it's on your kid's face and that's it. Never, ever say, I know my kid won't. Every parent of a drug addict, every parent of a murderer. I watch a lot of Dateline. They interview the parents like, we had no idea. Not our child. Every parent thinks their kid won't do the bone smashing thing. Do you think the guy who does it, his parents were like, oh, we knew the whole time he was gonna smash himself in the face with a hammer. And of course, pretty much, nope, they didn't. They didn't. Nobody ever thinks that.
John Holmberg
Matthew said. John, thank God. Finally, some thinning of the herd.
Brady
Yes, I'm fine with that part. But they're not dying. They're hurting themselves. They're creating.
John Holmberg
Swing harder.
Brady
If we're gonna do anything with bone smashing, it's swing harder kids. Us non kid havers encouraging the hell out of Sledgehammer Bone Crush. I don't care. Don't go, baby. Hammers don't go. You know, ha. Pictures, hammers.
Brent
At least do it for a cause.
Brady
Yeah, try to stop Alzheimer's by smashing yourself in the brain. It's brilliant. But, Brady, you make the crucial error as a parent of saying, well, I know for a fact my kid would never. And then the next thing you know, you're in a jail cell in an interrogation room going, what did you guys do again? Well, man, I mean, we were out and just goofed around when the goons said, let's hit him. So I was there. I just watched a special on Hulu about two teen kids who just picked people at random at school, and they murdered one of the girls named Cassie. And then in the interrogation room, it was unbelievable how good they were at lying about it while their parents were like, he's telling the truth. There's no question he's telling, my son would never do something. You see how emotional he is? And even after these idiots videotaped themselves doing it, the parents, the one mom still sided with was still like, it's the other kid that caused it. It. Like, she still wouldn't sit. My kid. Yeah, my kid was there murdering that lady. Of course we have it on videotape, but we pretty sure it's because the other kid talked him into it. Like, well, he was still doing it. Yeah, but not my angel. It was the influence of this one. It's. Parents always say, not my kid. That's why you got to toss their phone today. Just grab it. Give me your phone. What are you talking about, man? Give me your phone. I'm going through all of it and I guarantee their little hands are going to be reaching at you like they're on the other side of a wall. And you know what's bad is your Kirby listens. So right now she's doing some D.
Brent
She said there's a clavicular memorial at asu.
Brady
Did he kill himself? Yeah. Good. Well, she knows about him, Brady. So there's your first clue that your little angel isn't oblivious to this. Not my little girl. She would never. Yeah, she's in on it, buddy. You're basically to her, sort of just a gigantic retard. Things she knows you don't know anything about. I am too. They know. Like Brewer said yesterday, that 19 year old kid he's got with him filming everything. We lean on him for everything. Like he. And I even asked him, do you think everybody's stupid? He goes, not stupid, just a little slow. They think of us as retarded. Cause to them we kind of are, of course. But more so now than ever. Like our parents couldn't work the vcr. Thought they were kind of stupid technologies.
John Holmberg
Flashing.
Brady
Yeah. At 12 o'. Clock. Now it's different. Now it is truly different. Like there's stuff that they just say. I don't know what low key means, but it's happening a lot.
John Holmberg
Christopher Dewitt wants to add another rule to that.
Brady
Okay.
John Holmberg
And he says they get extra points if they use a ball peen. Tanner.
Brady
Get it? Yeah. The temple is the key.
Brent
Nice little dent.
Brady
The key. Anyway, toss your kids phones today because they are absolutely stupid. And you have to stop saying not my kid the second you say that. Check yourself. My kid wouldn't do it. Check yourself. I watch a lot of Dateline NBC. A lot. Almost all of it. When there's a kid involved isn't a parent who just doesn't think their kid would do it. They've never once interviewed a parent and had the parents go, man, did we ever see this coming? None of them ask any parent of a drug addict. I had no idea. You know, you gotta catch them. And then. Because they're good at lying. That's what they're built for. So I get nervous when I hear Brady say that. Not Kirby. And Kirby's gonna text back, don't worry, man, we're good. See, she even says we're fine.
Brent
Evidently, it was an ASU student that embarrassed the kid for doing it.
Brady
For doing the hammer thing. Yeah. Yeah, because. And he should be shamed and embarrassed.
Brent
Yeah.
Brady
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. Are you following what's going on here between the lines? Kirby's following the. The hammer face.
Brent
I don't think it's a trend. All right, Just one guy does it. It's a trend.
Brady
Okay. Either way, Brady. Yeah, we're talking about it. They've known about it a lot longer than us, so it's time for you to toss her phone. And you won't do it. I know you won't. I want to see it. I don't want to see anything bad. So you're just gonna. But you. It's time for a normal parent to stop saying, not my kid and toss their phone. Go through the whole. Just today. See what she does. Give me your phone. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go in the bathroom for an hour with your phone, and every once in a while, I might scream out of the bathroom between farts. What's the password for this one? And if you don't tell me, I'm deleting the app and I'm gonna take your phone away. But then precious Kirby won't have a phone, and we can't get raising cane's 10 discounts. And with two of those, that's 20%.
Brent
She said she's never heard of the hammer thing until you said.
Brady
I've been telling you. Everybody all right? You hit herself in the face with a hammer. You're an idiot. Now, not only does Kirby think you're retarded, I do too. Just grab her phone and take it. See what she does. What do you think she would do if you took her phone today and said, this is mine for the next hour and you don't have anything to. You're not saying a thing.
Brent
She'd probably squirm a little bit.
Brady
Yeah.
Brent
Feel withdrawal.
Brady
Yeah. As you went through the text and read her text.
John Holmberg
She's already done a factory reset on it.
Brady
Oh, she's. She is actually resetting. Right?
John Holmberg
It's already done.
Brady
Good, man. If you ask your kid, let me see your phone. And they're like, sure, they've. They've reset it. They were on to you. They knew the raid was coming. Yeah, they knew the raid.
John Holmberg
There's no apps on there anymore.
Brady
I give this idiot credit. Toledo's never once said, not my kid. He's like, oh, Jesus. My kid would.
Brent
Came across some stuff.
Brady
Oh, yeah. He had black porn. Gay black porn with a thread and that was when you realized I can't ever say not my kid.
Guest Announcer
Kirby would hand over. If you say to her I want to go through your text, she'd be like, go ahead. But they don't use text.
Brady
Yeah.
Guest Announcer
And when you go into their Snapchat, you have no idea what you're looking.
Brady
You don't have any. You have no idea.
Brent
So I guess you'd hand me your phone. It'd be
Brady

Guest Announcer

Brent
So thank you, Toledo. It's a waste of time. I don't need to check.
Brady
That's exactly right.
Brent
Everything's good.
Brady
All right.
Guest Announcer
Well the other thing that I found in the hidden photos folder.
Brady
Oh, geez. What?
Guest Announcer
Remember, he was. No.
Brady
Oh, no.
Guest Announcer
Him and his buddies had gotten sticks from. From some of the girls in. In school snooch hits. I could. I threw it down because I can't look at it.
Brady
Yeah, you're not allowed.
Guest Announcer
No.
Brady
You epstein up on that. I told him.
Guest Announcer
I said, you got to delete that. Your mom pays for that phone.
Brady
She's going to. Oh, my God. He's got underage snooch shots on his phone. Had he when he was back underage, too. On his phone.
Guest Announcer
Yeah, and then his buddy Landon was sending dick pics to everybody.
Brady
Oh, just saying.
Brent
Kid don't know anything, right?
Brady
That's what we're talking about. Don't care.
Guest Announcer
She 18 yet?
Brent
Nope.
Brady
No, man.
Guest Announcer
Oh, July, right?
Brent
Yep.
Brady
Crash the fall.
John Holmberg
Kirby's hammer challenge is how much weed she can hammer before class.
Brady
Man, I turned this hammer into a bong, man. Not my angel. Are you on fire, Kirby? No, man. It's just cold out.
Brent
Allergies flared up. Her eyes are red.
Brady
Yeah, man. It's rough, man. The grapefruit trees, man.
Guest Announcer
Tossing the phone is a great idea, but you need a kid like Kyle yesterday, and you have to have Kyle
Brady
go, hey, hire a few left town.
Brent
Already have to.
Brady
Look, you have to hire a little digital specialist to come in and go, this is Kyle. He's 18, and we're gonna go through your phone today. And then she'll watch her go, oh, no. My retarded dad got smart for a minute. She thinks you're retarded. I mean, a lot of people do.
Guest Announcer
Kyle thought we were retarded.
Brady
He actually apologized to Brady. Yeah. I'm so sorry you're going through this. What are you talking about? Well, obviously, you had a shaky car ride to the hospital, and you got 21, right? What are we looking at?
Guest Announcer
What's happening?
Brady
Yeah, she thinks you're, like. She would put you in an institution. If it was, like, up to her, she'd be like, hey, you can't make it through life because if you're trying to live her way, you don't know anything.
Guest Announcer
And on top of that, I proved that we were with Kyle because I kept texting him. Thanks, Tyler.
Brady
Yeah, he said, by the way, I
Brent
mean, it's my man, man.
Brady
It's Kyle. Yep. Toss the phones. I got a cop friend that said it's never gone, and I know how to find it. Give me the phone, and I'll show Brady everything on that hard drive. Oh, we get Some cop friends in there. You don't want to know. I mean, you imagine the shattering of Brady's one good kidney. Oh, my God. If he opened up that I don't want to know. And why. And saw just her only fans page. You didn't know she had. Oh, my. Some dads are going to have to deal with it. That.
Brent
I got some stats on that.
Brady
On only fans that parents don't know. Yeah. Oh, If I was a girl, I didn't only fans. If I was a pretty woman, I would be. That currency that I'm carrying around. I'm stockpiling cash through my 20s. That's all I'm doing. It's genius. Toss their phones today. Says, I've heard of this clay guy. He does bone smashing thing for beauty. I think it's dumb beyond belief, but natural selection will take its course. He also had a scandal for running over a dude with his cyber truck. Yeah, see, I don't know anything about it and I don't care to know because it's not entertainment, it's stupidity. Which I guess was the theme of this show for you. Says, my daughter turned 18 in January. Swag level went up. Rich is spot on about their apps and their language. It's impossible. Yep. And it's because you weren't paying attention to them early on. You're trying to be their friend and say the same. Hey, I'm low key like you. Oh, yeah, she's losing. She's using the same language as us. Great. Thanks, mom. Hey, check my Insta. I just took a picture of me with your daddy over at the Buck and Rider. That's great. That's how you use it. Good job. Don't even pretend. I don't want to pretend to have an Instagram page to relate to the them. I can't.
Brent
I just think of Harrison Ford and shrinking. She's raw dogging me again.
Brady
Yeah, you say stuff like you're trying to be in on it and they look at you like, oh, God, we've got him. He's trying to be one of us. Be authentic and just go. You might be the dumbest mother I've ever met. I don't know what you're talking about. Call me bro one more time. I'm your dad. Call me bruh one more time. One day, Kirby's just gonna come home with a bunch of black guys and they're gonna go in the room and Brady's just gonna have to say, hey, you guys wanna keep it down in there?
Brent
Listen to your coach.
Brady
Dad's like he's Bob in. Oh, Kirby must be coaching the Gilbert Christian basketball squad. That kid looks like he's about 33. Ms. Bother will appreciate you using this house. Very nice. Very nice home you have here. Thanks, D. Lamont. Anyway, go through your kids post. Not if you're Brady or not if you don't want to know. I trust my angel. Worst words I've ever heard a parent say. I just. Most normal people just roll their eyes. Okay, my friend. Oh, our kids don't drink. Okay? And every time I'd go out with these nephews and nieces of mine, they're guzzling. They're. They're pros. Your parents think you don't drink. Yeah, I know. How'd you do that? They're retarded. But they're not.
John Holmberg
This is for Brady Said.
Brady
Snapchat is the least of your worries. Discord is the one you got to worry about. My daughter got caught up a few years ago in Discord. The FBI ended up at our house. That would be just because you weren't paying attention to my complete surprise. I can tell you the whole story if you want. I don't want to know. You make me an accomplice, David. I'm not interested in your FBI showing up stories. Usually I kind of walk away from that. Yeah, I'm. I'm just gonna into my own thing. I can relate to you. I'm a nice person. We'll have fun. I'll make you laugh. You'll goof around. We'll have a good time. Start getting into your Instagram and your Snapchat and stuff.
Brent
I get it.
Brady
I get the basics. I understand. But I'm not gonna go diving into that stuff. I'm not gonna play pretend I get you. I'm not gonna put pants on that you like.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God, Mom.
Brady
We're dressed the same. Me and my daughter, best friends. I was on her insta the other day. She's just. You are making yourself. You might as well just be going, and I like bananas and I like jelly bellies. And you're. That's all they hear. My dad's my dad. Best friends with my daughter. They're just like, got her snout it.
Brent
Unless it's like Haley and the. The AI Mom. Daughter.
Brady
Now you're just deflecting Brady. Now you're going to a place that's going to attract Brett and I back to the conference. Let's stay real here. Don't go to those hot AI Daughter moms that start making out that aren't even real. Toss your kids phones today. It's another little PSA that we do every once in a while when we realize, oh, hammer, hammer smashing is a thing. They're hitting themselves in the face with that. This is where the parents who don't get it say things like, oh, I'm not my angel. And the next thing you know, they're. They're in a box with a bruise on their head and you're sitting there trying to pay for the deductible at the hospital going, what were you doing again? I smashed myself in the face with a hammer because clavicle did it. Oh God, I've got a retard clavicular. I gave birth to a retard. Now I gotta raise it. It clavicle said it makes you beautiful if you smash yourself in the face. You literally did. You didn't do the. And they act like you're retarded, but they're in the hospital bed with hammer wounds, self inflicted. Telling you, you're the dumb one. Go through their phones.
Brent
Not the claw part.
Brady
Go through the phones. What are you going on the big board of musical treats there, Bert?
John Holmberg
Just a.
Brady
Huh? All right.
John Holmberg
Oh, no, just a call back here too. We were talking about the. The baby hippo.
Brady
Oh, yeah, yeah.
John Holmberg
Page here.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Well, they have named it. It's Jelly Bean, but KTAR posted it.
Brady
Yeah, well,
John Holmberg
Andy decided to say, actually,
Brady
the name is now there's a guy from our station who has infiltrated the ktar. There it is. And it says, actually the name is now Rachel Catherine Pygmy. As decreed by Holmberg's morning sickness. 98 KUPD. That's right. It is now on a news site. So we can start putting it out there saying as heard on trusted news network. 92.3 KTAR. Madonna's losing. Poor Sharp. That's exactly. Oh, Sharp's trying to get that deleted so fast. Oh, I can't mention another station. Listen to it. Oh, that's gold right there. Good job.
Brent
I heard back from Christy. She says lol. I don't get it. Who is Rachel?
Brady
Catherine, it's the new pygmy hippo and that's all you need to know. Just tell her, Christy. It's a big fat listener who drives me nuts and another big fat listener who tried to drive me nuts again. And we're ruining their lives in an attempt to get them to jump off our planet. It would be nice. And probably if they jumped off our planet, the two of them together, we would then have 10 planets in the system. Because those two hand planets would just go into orbit and we would be like, look at the size of them. That's exactly what would happen. So just tell her it's a big fat listener that I'm attacking, that I would very much like to name a hippo after if I could possibly do that at one point or another.
John Holmberg
All right. Wake Up Song. Oh, and we do have a sponsor for it now.
Brady
Hey, it's. That's right.
John Holmberg
And I'm gonna make a copy of that so I can read it tomorrow.
Brady
Would you like to read it this time?
John Holmberg
No, go ahead.
Brady
I think you should.
John Holmberg
Sure, why not?
Brady
It's brought to you by Modern Resolution Windows and Doors. Brett, that's the way.
Brent
Okay.
Brady
Yeah. Now you got John Holmberg.

Brady
Let's not just throw Catherine too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
John Holmberg
Ice 9 kills and system of a Down. Chicken and Stew. That's the Pizza. Pizza Pie song.
Brady
We gotta do it that you want that one. It's so annoying, but.
John Holmberg
Oh, it is.
Brady
Chicken and Stew is like, I don't even know how they recorded this and then mastered it. I don't know how they talked a producer into going, waste your time on this. And then it turned out to be like, one of the more fun songs.
John Holmberg
And the label going, yeah, that's a good idea. That's a good idea.
Brady
Pizza, Pizza. Pizza Pie.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
If you haven't heard this yet, it's going to drive you nuts, but it's also gonna be something you like. It's annoying, but it's good. Oh, Brady, I worry for you. At least Ronnie's over there going through her phone, right? I appreciate that, Ronnie. Ronnie goes through her phone. Ronnie makes sure that as long as somebody's being the adult, not the raising Cane's pal, I don't want to talk bad. Let's just go to Raising Canes. That'll heal. Just put the hammer down.
Brent
I'll fix it when I hit it with a hammer today.
Brady
That's right. I'm sure that's something.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
This One said, my. My sister became lost in all of her life due to discord. Her friends convinced her she had mental and physical problems and it supported her toxic traits. She's an Alphabet mess now. I don't even know that disc. I didn't know discord was that effective to. I just, just look, I'm. I'm stronger than that. That a website's not going to do that to me. I would hope.
John Holmberg
I have two adopted kids. I don't know why I know these two low IQ morons would try the damage challenge.
Brady
You adopted a couple?
John Holmberg
Sorry, Tony.
Brady
He's thinking they're adopted. He doesn't want to admit that he made them. Yeah, I wouldn't either. Toss your kids phones today. Do it. I said, here's three things I learned. Learned from my angel that I used to say would never do it. Took my car out a few times and did donuts without me knowing. Stupid motorist drove his truck through the wash with a carload of people in it. Thinking that was a fun thing to put. They stopped, tried to rescue two other idiots who were stuck in the middle of the car wash. And the third thing is, when going on to his Snapchat, I found some things that led me to affectionately rename it Snatch Chat. That's what they'd use it for. Think of you, Brett, what would you use Snapchat for when you were a
Brent
kid if you had it back in the day.
John Holmberg
Exactly.
Brady
Looking up boobs and bush.
John Holmberg
Right.
Brady
And you'd be getting just like Toledo's kid. And we'll be showing it to each other. Absolutely joking.
Brent
Do you think you guys would be hammering yourself in the head?
Brady
No, no, I think I was above that.
John Holmberg
No, I think Kurt Vesley may do that for me.
Brady
Yeah, yeah. Just, you know, and there's, there's a reason why I had a dad who'd be like, what are you doing?
John Holmberg
Yeah, here, give me that.
Brady
I'll help you. I'll hit you with if you want to get hit in the face with a hammer. I'm your. I'm your huckleberry.
John Holmberg
Phillip said, I'm listening to you guys While driving my 13 year old son to school. He said it's even worse because they're hitting their jaw to have a chiseled jaw.
Brady
Yeah. They're saying that it's a beautification thing. So you got a kid that's worried about and they're all like insecure about the way they look because. Instagram that. That too.
John Holmberg
And Donovan wants to teach Brady a term used in the army. Trust but verify.
Brady
Ye. Yes, yes. Great phrase. Guy says, I'm just getting in the car. What's the 7 o' clock word? 7 o' clock word is Kirk. Kirk is the word for 7am you can get on that thing. You guys are crushing this Metallica thing. The numbers are awesome. So we thank you guys for participating. And again, maybe some of them are drummed up dummy numbers because I told you to give everybody you know a chance to download the app and help you out. So get a team of people in on this thing, whether they listen or not. I don't care. It boosts our numbers, and that's all that really matters around here. And we don't care. Care. We love it when the Bobs are like, yeah, it's got a great promotion. They don't care. Like, we can dick around with us all we want. Get everybody involved, and then that increases your odds. So good luck. Send you to Vegas. Seat Metallica in sphere.
John Holmberg
They love our podcast.
Brady
Yeah, our podcast is doing great. All right, let's do that. Pizza, pizza pie song, the chicken and stew. Right? Here you go. It's. It's a weird one. Have fun. Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.

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.

Episode: 02-26-26 – Latest On John’s Vision, Existential Rants & The Bone Hammer Challenge
Date: February 26, 2026
This episode explores a mix of comedic existential dread, contemporary social trends, and parental paranoia. John Holmberg recounts his ongoing vision issues, leading to a deep, funny, sometimes mind-bending take on perception and reality. The crew then tackles absurd emotional support animals and vents about the alarming “bone hammer” challenge among teens, culminating in a passionate plea for parents (especially Brady) to pay closer attention to their kids’ digital lives.
“Everything you see is actually upside down.”
— John Holmberg, 03:58
“Your eye flips it back over to make sure you don’t get crushed by her. Isn’t that crazy though?”
— Brady, 04:24
“Everything you see is not what you’re actually seeing. You’re being lied to. Everything’s upside down. Those kids in Stranger Things were right. Everything’s in the Upside Down.”
— Brady, 05:37
“Parents always say, not my kid. That’s why you gotta toss their phone today.”
— John Holmberg, 30:11
“Every parent of a drug addict, every parent of a murderer…they interview the parents like, we had no idea. Not our child. Every parent thinks their kid won’t do the bone smashing thing.”
— Brent, 27:25
“There’s a professor who wanted to…travel on a plane with an emotional support chicken. Nope, nope, nope, and nope.”
— Brady, 13:13
“If you’re down to a chicken as your only friend on the planet, do a little self-evaluation.”
— Brady, 17:40
“Kids are absolutely stupid. And you have to stop saying not my kid the second you say that. Check yourself.”
— Brady, 30:29
“If we’re gonna do anything with bone smashing, it’s swing harder, kids. Us non-kid-havers encouraging the hell out of sledgehammer bone crush.”
— John Holmberg, 27:33
“Now it is truly different. Like there’s stuff that they just say, ‘I don’t know what low key means,’ but it’s happening a lot.”
— John Holmberg, 30:12
“You have to hire a little digital specialist to come in and go, ‘This is Kyle, he’s 18, and we’re gonna go through your phone today.’”
— Guest, 36:52
The conversation oscillates between earnest concern, biting sarcasm, and outright absurdity. John’s philosophical tangent creates genuine existential uncertainty before the show pivots back into riotous topical rants—the signature blend of mocking cultural trends, poking fun at parents (“toss your kid’s phone!”), and riffing on the ever-widening generation gap.
If you missed this episode, you missed a wild blend of science, skepticism, and schadenfreude—where your eyes might fool you, your children will definitely try—and even the most educated among us may one day try to board a plane with a therapy chicken. Don't trust your senses, don’t trust your kid, and for God’s sake…don’t say “not my angel.”
Key Takeaway:
Perception is subjective, digital trends are dangerous, and the line between concern and comedy gets blurry when your best friend is a bird and your kid is face-diving into TikTok with a hammer.
