John Holmberg
Hey, it's John Holmberg here from the morning Cygnus. And I'm absolutely thrilled to tell you about my friends@liftedtrucks.com youm've heard me mention Kevin Costner, Trey McBride, other countless celebrities and pro athletes and how they chose lifted trucks. But that doesn't mean it's only for actors and pro athletes. It's for all of you. Everybody who loves a cool adventure. So if you're a huge celebrity like me or just an average Joe who wants the best truck available, head on over to Lifted Trucks. They live up to being the number one custom truck dealer for over 30 years. 10,000 five star reviews can't be wrong. Liftedtrucks.com, work hard, play hard, drive harder. Sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Here's the eight o' clock word. Magnetic. It's actually 801 magnetic.
Brett
You started it at eight, so.
John Holmberg
Nah, my clock. You're right, it's eight o'. Clock. Mine too. Hey, how come. Oh, God, the other thing about war. You know what I. You know my favorite part of the passive aggressive nature of people who act like they care that people are gonna die. Msnbc, cnn, Fox News Nation, BBC all have a camera perched high atop one of the buildings in Tel Aviv that they just cut to live every once in a while in case those cameras they, they flip them on like it's Jenny Cam from the late 90s. Like, let's see what she's up to. They just. Let's take a look at Tel Aviv. Anything? Nothing. All right, never mind. The only reason they like that camera is because some rogue thing might come blow something up. It is. And they got. They cut to it live. Live. It's. It's Big Brother overnight on Showtime. Let's just take a look at the camera and see if anybody in Tel Aviv is going to be awakened by a massive explosion.
Cody
We were there.
John Holmberg
Hundreds. We saw it. Our camera caught the best angle. And you got to pick which building you put your. You perch it on. They all have a different perch. They all climb to the top of some building in Tel Aviv and put a camera up there and just say turn this thing on and leave it on 24 hours.
Brady
War.
John Holmberg
What a great show. Eight o' clock magnetic. That's the word you want to put in there for the disappear to the disappear to the Sphere contest. We got Metallica is going to be there October 1st and October 3rd and we're going to give you tickets to Both of those shows. So you can take two friends, thousands of dollars worth of tickets. I mean, the price of these things are through the roof first. First two shows are sold out completely, I hear.
Brett
I would imagine.
Emily
Yeah.
John Holmberg
With just the. Well, at least just what they had available so far. And then it opens to the public, I think this week. Right. This was just fan club and special engagement people think so, yeah.
Brett
But there can't be much left.
John Holmberg
I mean, I wouldn't think they clobbered the opening days. Ah, amazing. And I'm sure they've got a bunch set aside for actual day of sales, but those will go in seconds. And then the aftermarket for the shows you're going to get tickets for are going to be ridiculous if they're allowed to do it because Metallica makes it so it's very difficult to resell their stuff. God forbid you make any money off the things you purchased. But we'll see. We'll get you up there. That way you don't have to worry about it. And you can have a blast in Vegas, courtesy of your friends here at 98KUPD and your friends in that band called Metallica. Pretty neat. It's 8:04. Let's get to it. Brady's got all the news that only Brady knows. We call it the Brady Report. It is brought to you by our friends@allprochade.com All Pro shades ready to go. Get your house. A little outdoor living space that currently doesn't exist. Everybody's house has a spot where you could get a shade out there and go, this is a great spot to sit. And also it doesn't have to be attached to your house. They can build you something right outside the house by the pool or put some shades. I saw the commercial online. They have a thing off of somebody's like pool shed and I've got one of those. And they built these glorious shades off of that. Put them down. I'm like, they made like an outdoor room off of a storage facility. It's like a, like a 12 or 15 foot long thing right at the edge of the pool.
Ralphie May
I'm like, that's fantastic.
John Holmberg
Thinking about maybe popping those up at my place. Awesome stuff and all. Pro shade. They'll come out and design something for you. They give you a free estimate, free installation. They've been at this for over 20 years because they are simply the best at it. Quality merchandise. They make everything look like it belongs. You'll be happy and you'll have something that all real estate agents say is the New thing. When you're looking for a house, you're trying to sell yours little outdoor living space. That looks the part. Make it perfect. Allproche.com they'll take care of you, Brady reported.
Emily
Good Thursday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello, world.
Guest/Tech Expert
Hi.
Emily
Happy National Cheese Doodle Day. Yeah, a couple of baseless fun facts.
John Holmberg
Nothing else. Cheese doodle ruse the day that's there.
Emily
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure there's another one.
John Holmberg
Well, don't say that.
Emily
It didn't pop up on any of my other.
John Holmberg
Then you're not sure. Yeah, it's unsure. That is the definition of unsure. There we go.
Emily
A couple of basis fun facts. The largest sandcastle in the world measured more than 69ft high.
Cody
And we blew it up. It was amazing. We were over there in the sand people country and we said, you know what? That's a big sandcastle. It's called Tehran. And we killed everyone inside of it. And if anybody's left, we'll kill them, too. It's great being president right now.
Emily
It was constructed in Denmark in 2021
Cody
and then moved to where the sand people live. Brady. The little sand people of Iran. And here's some footage I have of a bomb that they let me touch the button, which was really cool. I don't know if you've ever blown up Iranians, but I highly recommend it. It's a beautiful thing. And I sat there and I said, which button does it? Which button blows up all the sand people? And they said, this one right here, sir. And I said, I don't know if I want to do this. And then I hit the button and I heard them running. Little sand people running all over. Look at them go.
Emily
Little.
John Holmberg
Little jawas.
Ralphie May
Jawas.
Cody
Brett blew up a lot of jawas this weekend. Brady, did you see the little heat signature jawas? I was expl. One after another.
Emily
Eyes glow.
Cody
It's a constant sound down there right now in Iran, blowing up Iranian jawas. Those sang the sand guys dying by the hundreds. You're welcome.
Emily
A group of bunnies is called a herd. But in some parts of Canada,
John Holmberg
they
Emily
call it a fluffle.
John Holmberg
It's Canada.
Emily
Seems a little more fitting.
John Holmberg
Does it?
Cody
I guess if you're a homosexual, that works for you. Like a Canadian gay. Like a big maple syrup sucker. Like Trudeau. Black face, Katy Perry beard, SAP sucker. And by SAP, of course, I mean
Emily
male goats will pee on their own faces to attract females for mating.
John Holmberg
And Brady eats those. Brady wanders into restaurants that serve goat, knowing that they piss on their own faces.
Emily
Babies born on their due date just 4% of the time.
John Holmberg
Bad Thriller Took that to a new level, though.
Brett
So doctors like weatherman.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
You know, maybe next week, maybe not.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I don't know. Give it a shot. Mine was off by almost two full months. Man. That was 4%.
Emily
Has to be like C section.
John Holmberg
I mean, you're. It's roulette.
Emily
Like, we're gonna do it now.
John Holmberg
Yeah, but I mean, it's really. Well, no, that wouldn't count. If they gave you a due date and they cut it out. They can't say that they were right because then they just do that every time they boost numbers. But it's like roulette.
Emily
You.
John Holmberg
You put it. You don't put it directly on there. I mean, put it on the corner or on the line and hedge your bets. If they're within three or four days, it's pretty good.
Emily
An online betting site looked at the top states where you have the highest odds of being a soccer mom.
John Holmberg
Here's got to be up there because the weather.
Emily
I thought we would be up there. Here. The top five states. Number five in Nebraska. Number four, Mississippi. Number three, North Dakota. Two Wyoming.
John Holmberg
So cold places.
Emily
Number one, Texas.
John Holmberg
Yeah, Texas makes sense because it's the
Emily
highest youth sports participation rate in the nation.
Brett
I was thinking Salt Lake.
John Holmberg
That's a good one. Yeah.
Emily
I like this term, this airline terms called seat divorce.
John Holmberg
You don't sit with her. Yeah, yeah. I'm not.
Emily
Because no one wants the middle seat.
John Holmberg
Oh, I thought it was. You don't want to sit with your wife.
Emily
That's basically what it is. Your wife are traveling and you don't want the middle seat. So you pick, you know, aisles or windows.
Brett
That's what I'm saying. When she told everybody to go after themselves.
Emily
Yeah.
John Holmberg
She told everyone on the plane to f themselves because we couldn't share seats. I had to sit behind her.
Emily
We take a row.
John Holmberg
Well, yeah. There's three of you.
Emily
Yeah.
John Holmberg
You never travel, just the two of you? No, Kirby. No, never. Kirby's always tagging along. What a tragedy. Yeah, that sucks sea blocker. Oh, Ronnie. Is that because of Caitlin?
Talkspace Announcer
Kirby.
John Holmberg
Oh, I'm sorry.
Emily
We have a Spanish taxi driver that's in trouble. He picked up two drunk Irish tourists. Give him a ride. They were burping in his car. Knock it off. Told him to get out. They didn't. Well, he punched the one Irish drunk, and the guy fell, hit the curb.
John Holmberg
He's dead.
Emily
Broke his head open. He lived.
Brady
Oh.
Emily
But they had to go to the Hospital and get stitches. Now this guy's got two felonies.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
The Mick had saved his life.
John Holmberg
Yeah. My dad's co worker years ago, got into a bar fight, slugged a guy and he fell down and hit his head on a curb and died. Just a street fight. My dad's buddy was on trial for 25 years. He was facing 25 years for involuntary. He went to jail. I know that. Crazy.
Emily
A smaller version of the Sphere venue could be headed to Nashville, Tennessee.
John Holmberg
Timu Sphere.
Emily
Yep.
John Holmberg
Nobody wants a Teemu Sphere.
Emily
Won't be as big as one in Vegas.
John Holmberg
Won't be as good.
Emily
No, it's the same company.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it won't be as good. The size matters. Ask any lady. Little dick. Sphere is not one I want to go to. If you go to baby Sphere in Nashville, are you like, I don't need to see the other one? Nope, you'd still want to see the one in Vegas. But if you see the one in Vegas, do you want to go to the one in Nashville?
Emily
It better be half the price.
Brett
You don't want to go little sphere.
John Holmberg
You're not going lil Sphere if big sphere exists. And if you do end up in little sphere, you're like, man, now I really want to see big sphere.
Emily
I don't know how do you. Do you want Ricky Skaggs that much bigger, right?
John Holmberg
Yeah, I want to see Conway Twitties Afro. Yeah. Ask. Ask a woman.
Emily
Keep it mini.
John Holmberg
Ask a woman that. That takes a huge D. How often she's really one of the small ones. Feel like nobody does it, but you take a small one and you think that was all right. Wonder what the big ones feel like. Then you go search that out.
Emily
It is interesting because why would they go smaller? Because you build it quicker, I guess.
John Holmberg
Or what's less money.
Emily
Less money. But I think this one in Vegas is paying off.
John Holmberg
Well, maybe. Gotta be a couple billion dollars to build Sphere.
Brett
So.
John Holmberg
I mean, it will be because you're going to draw acts. You're not getting those acts in Nashville. They're good, but you're not getting.
Emily
But paying 500 to 1000 bucks to watch wizard of Oz.
John Holmberg
You're not doing that in Nashville. On a small one. I mean, they can't charge the same. Yeah, you show the wizard of Oz in Nashville, Mike. I'll go watch the one on the big sphere.
Brett
What they can do is show Hee Haw in there.
John Holmberg
Oh, man. They'll probably do the modern day version. The Trans He She Hawkins, Dukes of Hazzard.
Brett
Oh, man.
John Holmberg
Now now you're selling me a little something.
Brett
Smoking, abandoned, Smokey Bandit.
John Holmberg
Just. Pretty soon, I've already got one of those projectors that you can light up your entire ceiling with tv. It's one of the coolest things ever. It's just a little clumsy to get through. It's easier to just watch tv, but I can do movies or anywhere, and it's about the size of my phone. Put it up on a tripod, and it shoots a movie, and it's crystal clear. And I started thinking, it's a matter of time before they just make this. The whole room, like, your whole room becomes the experience. It's. We're not far. VR already does it.
Guest/Tech Expert
I know you've seen it. I don't know if the Suns have it, but the Big 12 for the. For the basketball tourney, the entire floor is led. And they can change it to show the team's logo of whoever's the home team or whatever. And they.
John Holmberg
And they can.
Guest/Tech Expert
They can actually do it. Like, for a coach in practice, he can draw plays and it projects onto the court. It's like the X's and O's and he does, like, everything. It just projects onto the court.
John Holmberg
The future. I love it.
Emily
In California, they rolled out the first 3D printed home. It's a market in Yuba county, which I believe is north of Sacramento. The first home took 24 days to build. It's a thousand square feet, cost $280,000. It comes out to about $50,000 lower than what the average home price is in that area.
John Holmberg
You kind of did a little flex there, like, you know, counties in California.
Emily
I had to look it up.
John Holmberg
Yeah. I was gonna say it seemed like you were flexing on us, that you were a county expert, but I think we all know you looked it up.
Emily
Well, I just. I didn't.
John Holmberg
That's not a bad.
Emily
No, it. The, you know, full bathrooms.
Grandma Character
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And it's all.
Emily
I think it's, you know, thousand square feet.
Grandma Character
It's tiny.
Emily
Maybe two bedrooms.
John Holmberg
It's the future.
Emily
Yeah. Here's the selling point, too. The walls are bulletproof.
John Holmberg
Well, yeah.
Brett
You want that because I'm in Compton next week.
John Holmberg
Yes.

John Holmberg
How many people need that? How bad is the neighborhood of things that worked out when you were doing by the way. We shot some when you were a couple of walls working on your research for Yuba county. Would they have a high crime rate that would like a selling point.
Emily
They put that on there it list on top of, you know, bulletproof. Yeah. And no mold and also pretty fire retardant.
John Holmberg
Hey, careful. Is is telling people your house is bulletproof because mine's brick. So it's bulletproof. It telling people your house is bulletproof just encourage people to prove it.
Emily
That's why I wanted to see where Yuba county was.
John Holmberg
Well, I mean if I told you right now, it has pretty good there Brady. It's also bulletproof, wouldn't you think?
Emily
Oh, cool.
John Holmberg
I'm gonna shoot a bullet at it. Like even a good guy wants to find out. Yes, I'm shooting a house.
Guest/Tech Expert
They start 3D printing in AJ yeah those things are going to be riddled with bullets.
John Holmberg
I mean if I go home and Michael and Troyville. Michael and Troy have a team out inside of their house and I'm like, what are you guys doing? Putting on new stucco? No, we're bulletproofing the house. Within a day or two, I'm taking a shot at the house.
Brett
Oh, look at that. It's right next to Marysville in Yuba city.
John Holmberg
They have all sorts of Maryvales all over the place and they're all bad. Yeah. Don't tell people your house is bulletproof. It's oh sacto.
Emily
Yeah, it's north of.
Brett
That's where Mark Randall lives between Chico and Sacramento.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I'm. I'm shooting at your house if you tell me it's bulletproof. My house is brick. It's bulletproof, right?
Emily
Yeah, it should be. But let's shoot it. What construction.
John Holmberg
But I mean, I already know that.
Guest/Tech Expert
Are they using that we aren't now?
John Holmberg
Like Kevlar?
Brett
Yeah, apparently Furious styles fiber and to.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And to what degree Is it bulletproof? 50 cal.
Ralphie May
Right.
Guest/Tech Expert
Is my. Can I redo my stucco on my house?
John Holmberg
I mean, I want to shoot that house. That's all I want. I don't care about the kitchen at all.
Guest/Tech Expert
What it'll be is, hey, my neighbor's a little sketchy.
John Holmberg
Can I. Hopkins has never once said this is a nice looking home. And it's also bulletproof. Like. Well, that doesn't sell me any. Why would we need to know that?
Emily
We'll take it.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brett
You don't buy houses in Maryville.
John Holmberg
No. When he buys them. But he's not telling people they're bulletproof. That is crazy because how many houses are. I mean, most of the ones in Gilbert Mason. Yeah, Gilbert Mason, Chandler are not. But the old houses in Phoenix, Arcadia, Biltmore, the ones that are built out of block, those are bulletproof. That's what the three little pigs did. It's also wolf proof. This is a wolf proof.
Brett
This guy said careful with bricks are not bulletproof. I've tried it.
John Holmberg
I don't even want to. I get so many questions for that email. What do you mean you've tried it? Answer that. He shot his own brick home, I guess.
Emily
No, it would fracture the brick or something that maybe it goes through.
John Holmberg
It's pretty bulletproof. The windows aren't, but my house is fairly bulletproof. I'm pretty confident that if somebody's shooting at the house, I can get behind one of my brick walls and drop down and at the very least it might. It might plug me, but it's not going to kill me.
Emily
That's why. Like in the. In the westerns when they're in those wood barns.
John Holmberg
Sure we're not talking? Of course that's not bulletproof. An idiot would think that's bulletproof. But I'm saying, you know, should we
Brett
call Byron from MMP Guns and have him come over and check it out?
John Holmberg
Is your house brick?
Brett
Yep.
John Holmberg
Yeah, we'll do it at your house.
Brett
No, you're the one that says.
John Holmberg
I never said that.
Brett
Bulletproof. Yeah, Brett, here's the one with the bulletproof.
John Holmberg
Here, Gummo. You're gonna spend so much time at the dentist. We know where you live. Doesn't matter. If you let him shoot your house, I'll let him shoot mine. We'll see who's is more bulletproof.
Brett
I never said mine was bulletproof.
Talkspace Announcer
You did.
John Holmberg
It's brick.
Brett
I did not.
John Holmberg
You don't think your house is bulletproof? No. How do you know? I think it'll go through. Do you.
Brett
Do you get a.50 cal?
Emily
Go right through.
John Holmberg
We're not shooting 50 cals.
Brett
Well, what are you talking about?
John Holmberg
AR15.22 Magnum. No, no. An AR15. The choice of a madman.
Brett
Probably go through.
John Holmberg
You think with the velocity we need to test this?
Brett
Probably. All right. Well, we'll be at your house this afternoon.
Guest/Tech Expert
Need Cody fingers.
John Holmberg
I think Brett's new house is going to have to be the.
Brett
You're a lot closer to M and P than me.
John Holmberg
What do you call the thing you're testing on a guinea pig? Who better than you to be our guinea pig?
Emily
Well, Can't we hear from some of the police? Maybe they know from standoffs over the years.
John Holmberg
Just firing through bricks. I don't think you aim at the bricks and go, I got him.
Emily
No, but if you're firing at the house.
John Holmberg
That's what I'm saying.
Brett
That was.
John Holmberg
That's what I meant. If you're not gonna look and go, he's behind those bricks. You're not wasting a bullet on that. If he's behind a window, you shoot to the window. If it's one of those chicken wirehouses in Chandler.
Guest/Tech Expert
Young guns when they're behind those. This little wood panel.
Ralphie May
Yeah?
John Holmberg
You're going to kill it. I don't know what the hell you two are talking about all these westerns for. It's clear that you don't hide behind wood. We all know that.
Emily
So they do it all the time. That's what I'm saying.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. Movies aren't real.
Emily
What?
Guest/Tech Expert
What?
John Holmberg
I know. That's. That's how I feel when you say what? That I have to remind you.
Brett
Hey, if the power teams can break bricks with their bare hands and rip phone books apart.
John Holmberg
But that's why they're the power team, Brett. They have the advantage of Christ. Well, there you go. If it wasn't for Jesus, they wouldn't be able to rip that phone book. So unless it's the power team throwing bullets at my house, I'm pretty sure it's bulletproof. I'll clear the house. I'm not going to stand behind it and prove it that way. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I can accept that. But I'm pretty sure my house is bulletproof.
Emily
Don't they have that, like on the practice ranges, like when they're doing my house? No. Like a police academy or.
John Holmberg
Sure, they Shoot houses all the time, but every time I see like war torn nations and stuff, there's bullet marks in the sides of buildings, but not. And that's just getting peppered. My house is bulletproof and so is yours.
Guest/Tech Expert
Say it, Brett.
Brett
I'm not even trying it. This guy says Mythbusters have shot through bricks. He's pretty sure, so yeah.
John Holmberg
But it depends on the caliber. Again, madman on the street. Nine millimeter. No worries. Not going through the bricks. Maybe an AR15. That's pretty close. But if you throw an AR15 at me from, I don't know, hundred yards, thousand feet.
Guest/Tech Expert
Gemini says a 9 millimeter bullet generally cannot penetrate a standard solid red brick wall. While it can chip, crack, or damage the brick, the dense material usually absorbs the energy, causing the bullet to flatten or disintegrate. Yeah, particularly when fired from a handgun.
Emily
What.
Brett
What caliber is AR15,223 or 556. Either way.
John Holmberg
Hmm. Interesting.
Guest/Tech Expert
223remington5.56 NATO rounds can, under certain circumstances, penetrate a single layer of brick, but often fail to pass through a full depth double wide.
John Holmberg
Well, that residential brick wall. A residential brick wall, that's what I've got.
Guest/Tech Expert
Often fail to pass through.
Brett
If it does, doesn't mean.
John Holmberg
Okay, no, I'm not going to take my chances on the other end of it. I just want to know if it'll
Brett
get called the power team.
John Holmberg
If you get the power team. First off, I don't have any phone books, but I'm going to go find some. And then they do that thing where they mouth blow up a water heater.
Guest/Tech Expert
Oh, yeah, like Franco Colombo.
Emily
Yeah, the water ice. Water bottle.
John Holmberg
Water bottle. They'll. They'll blow it up like a balloon and their heads almost explode. It's a battle between their face and that balloon.
Guest/Tech Expert
Whatever happened to those?
John Holmberg
They died. They all died.
Emily
I think drugs got involved. I think the power team found out they were steroids.
Guest/Tech Expert
Didn't one guy blow up trying to do that because the.
John Holmberg
The one of the dudes went blind or something and trying to blow up that power bottle.
Guest/Tech Expert
Same thing you had?
John Holmberg
Probably. Oh, it was great.
Brett
Those guys.
John Holmberg
The power team was hilarious.
Guest/Tech Expert
A 90 degree shot has the best chance of penetration.
John Holmberg
I don't know what that means.
Guest/Tech Expert
Angled shots are more likely to deflect.
John Holmberg
You can shoot a bully. The bullet 90.
Emily
So straight on.
Guest/Tech Expert
Straight on.
John Holmberg
Oh, okay. It makes that turn.
Guest/Tech Expert
Yeah. Pretty movie.
Brett
Yeah.
Guest/Tech Expert
Again, to bring it back to movies.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you guys are real hard to talk to. Can't stand point. Please stay on point. Like when Emilio Estevest. Nope, we're off the. We've lost the plot.
Emily
KitKat and unveiled its life sized handcrafted 770 pound chocolate F1 car. They're jumping into the F1 Formula Tour
Guest/Tech Expert
in a 700 pound.
Emily
It's the equivalent of 16692 finger Kit Kats.
John Holmberg
Finger Kit?
Emily
Kids. You know they have those.
John Holmberg
Is that what they call those? I didn't even know that.
Emily
And good news. If you were bummed out that Chick fil a took the pea starch out of their french fries. The waffle fries.
John Holmberg
Didn't know that.
Emily
Customers, they. They did it a year ago. Customers noticed. They went back to the original formula.
Brett
The fatties will notice anything.
Ralphie May
Thank you, Brad. Hi, it's Ralphie May, everybody. Brady. Read the story as written. Local fat notices difference at Chick Fil a causes stir. Brady, you don't just read it because it's like, oh, people noticed. It's us, brother.
John Holmberg
It's us.
Emily
We're people.
Ralphie May
Ralphie, nobody knows the difference between fryer oil and whatever they changed it to. And chickpeas and no chick doesn't matter. Some people look at each other, go, that tastes a little different. They move on. Fats figure it out. What's different in Chick fil a? They put on Sherlock Holmes hats and monocles and walk around for four weeks.
Emily
Can't believe they did that.
Ralphie May
It's the only time us fats get active. The Chick Fil a changed up in their recipe. Suddenly I want to run.
Emily
They get stuff done.
Ralphie May
That's right. They change it back to us so we can sit down again and eat the chicken. Read it as it's written.
Emily
Thanks for stopping by, Robert.
Ralphie May
Read it as it's written. Local fat notices difference in Chick Fil a. Bite loses mind.
Emily
Call someone takes one.
Ralphie May
Brett, you're normal sized man. You ever bite into something and then call the corporation?
Brett
Never.
Ralphie May
Okay. Because he's normal. Read it as written.
Emily
And then a. I gotta go. Whoa. A silver medal from the first modern Olympics was auctioned off. 1896. Athens.
Brett
Wow.
Emily
Was the first modern Olympics.
Cody
Right?
Emily
What do you think that thing went for?
John Holmberg
The silver medal. Was it real? It was probably super cool. Real silver back then. Like fully.
Emily
I can show you a little silver medal.
John Holmberg
Silver medals now are worth more. Yeah. By value. Because most gold medals are plated. Silver medals. But I would say with its history. I'm going to go Antiques Roadshow here. With its history in good condition at auction. You could sell that for $400,000.
Guest/Tech Expert
Two mil.
Brett
A bad I'll go a mill.
Emily
They were expecting $31,000, right. It went for 179. Yeah. I think there's a bunch that surprised me. I would have been in the same numbers, too. I figured a million.
Brett
I figured she for 18.95 or whatever.
Emily
Yeah.
John Holmberg
But I think they aren't hard to come by. No, no, I think those have been fairly well preserved.
Guest/Tech Expert
They've all been fallen by the wayside.
John Holmberg
No, I think gold silver medals and things like that family there wouldn't be,
Emily
you know, in 1896, I don't know how many were thrown out.
Guest/Tech Expert
They thrown out?
Emily
Well, no, given out, like. Oh, given out how many events.
John Holmberg
Right. But I'm just saying I don't think that they're. I don't think that we're down to the last couple, you know. I learned that from Antiques Roadshow when Cy Young, that dude had hundreds of Cy Young autographs and he had notes from Cy Young and letters and pictures. He's like, I was a kid, I live next door to him. Cy Young sign. And he goes, unfortunately, Cy Young couldn't stop signing his name for about five years. And all he did every. There's so many Cy Young autographs and they're all authentic that it's. He goes, you have a nice story. You've got some really cool letters from Cy Young. Unfortunately, the whole thing's worth about 600 bucks.
Emily
Yeah, it was Wagner or whatever.
John Holmberg
Wagner one of one.
Emily
And. And he had a year where they were in a cigarette pack and he didn't like cigarettes, so they just did it one year.
John Holmberg
He said, no, well, the honest Wagner is the one of one. There's only. If you can find one, you've got millions of dollars in your hands because
Brett
it was last one sold for like three something. Yeah, three point something.
Guest/Tech Expert
Guys, please understand. While I write this, I have the Jackass theme song playing in my head. I don't want you to look this up, but there is a scientific article about this on pubmed. But I do still want all you guys to test this in real life. Please sell tickets. I'll be there. I don't care about the sphere. I want to see this bullet penetrate John's house.
John Holmberg
I sort of do too. I want to see the distance that I'm safe from bullets. Morning sickness.
Cody
Holmberg's morning sickness.
John Holmberg
And the caliber.
Guest/Tech Expert
An AK47 would penetrate it. Don't ask me how I know. And then I looked it up.
Brett
He lives in Maryville.
John Holmberg
Exactly.
Guest/Tech Expert
And it says Gemini. Says an AK47 bullet can penetrate a single layer of brick, but often struggles to pass through a standard thick brick wall. While it can pulverize the first layer of brick, the second layer often remains intact, all although repeated shots will break through.
John Holmberg
Well, if I'm in that situation, repeated shots, I'm in a bad spot.
Ralphie May
So if.
John Holmberg
Dude, single shots at my house, like, hey, bullet just hit my house.
Brett
I'll never move in a Yuba City. No.
Guest/Tech Expert
And that study was.
Emily
Well, you get a 3D print at home here.
Guest/Tech Expert
The study that Gemini is quoting was done by the Sonoran Desert Institute. So it's been done here.
John Holmberg
Yep. They shoot houses here.
Emily
I got two radio videos. All right, first one's a good hillbilly fight.
John Holmberg
Okay, hang on.
Guest/Tech Expert
We're having connection issues.
John Holmberg
Oh, boy.
Emily
And the second one's from war.
John Holmberg
I like war.
Guest/Tech Expert
Is that confirmed?
Emily
Because I was. I don't know. Actually, it look. It looked real.
Guest/Tech Expert
Well, it's. I don't think it's AI. I just.
John Holmberg
Was it this war?
Guest/Tech Expert
This war?
Emily
Yes.
Guest/Tech Expert
I just wonder if it's from this war.
Emily
Navy torpedo sinks Iranian warship.
Guest/Tech Expert
Well, like we saw yesterday.
John Holmberg
It was the Soleimani.
Emily
Yeah. Okay, that's the first time.
John Holmberg
Yeah, we should. We watched it yesterday.
Emily
No. Well, then this is a. The one I saw went into the side. The one yesterday.
Brett
Periscope on yesterday.
Emily
Here's.
Guest/Tech Expert
Here's his first radio video.
John Holmberg
Oh, this is hillbillies fighting. Girl. Hillbillies holding the key. Oh, one's holding the baby.
Emily
Yeah.
John Holmberg
All right, watch this.
Emily
Go time.
John Holmberg
No, the baby has no. We have no time for this. Kids can take a fall and mom can take a punch. She just dropped her baby.
Emily
Oh, yeah, he's holding a stick.
John Holmberg
When the dog ladies first punch hits
Cody
mom and they drive.
John Holmberg
That's a big kid, too.
Emily
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Oh, well, the baby's crying. Mama's fighting again. That's not news.
Brett
Kid looks like a little big to be being carried around like that.
John Holmberg
Mom's in good shape, too. I gotta say, this is kind of like a Jamie Presley trailer park.
Guest/Tech Expert
Oh, the big girl, the. The one in the pink shirt gets on top, though. She gets top mount.
John Holmberg
Well, yeah, she's bigger, so she got a weight advantage. But she takes out hot mama, drops
Guest/Tech Expert
the baby cowboys there.
John Holmberg
One of the rodeo clowns comes and tries to break it up, and he's
Emily
filming the dude and the short sleeve shirt took out the guy with a stick right away.
John Holmberg
Yeah. He saw the. The danger. That was close. I like hillbilly fights. I think I like hillbilly fights more than I Like any other race fights. Although black ladies fighting's fun because they pull out their weaves.
Brett
Oh, yeah.
Guest/Tech Expert
So this is from, like, a maritime ship that's passing through. I don't know where it is, but it.
Emily
But it says it's the Soleimani.
John Holmberg
All right, then it's in the Indian Ocean.
Guest/Tech Expert
But the Soleimani wasn't hit from the front.
John Holmberg
He's just hanging around. And there's the missile going through the water. Oh, yeah, that's from the side.
Emily
That's from the. The front.
John Holmberg
Well, I mean, that's what the Solomani took. One from the front in the rear.
Emily
Oh, okay. Because the one I saw yesterday when
John Holmberg
you were pulling, that was the front of the boat.
Emily
It was the left.
John Holmberg
Right. And it hit the front end. The. The bow, they called it.
Guest/Tech Expert
But if the. If the torpedoes coming in that direction, that. That view from the viewfinder.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Guest/Tech Expert
Was. Was sort of sideways.
Emily
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Maybe it was a different. Maybe it was a different angle.
Guest/Tech Expert
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Either way, I like watching that stuff explode.
Emily
That's a tough shot.
John Holmberg
Hitting the boat with the torpedo is always a toug.
Guest/Tech Expert
Does it make you think that. That, you know, battleship captain is a little unqualified. If he just sat there.
John Holmberg
They've got technology from the 30s.
Emily
Yeah. That's.
John Holmberg
They're running a. Their navy ships have Ranger written on the side of them. We're beating up a retard and we're beating the hell out of him. He's dangerous because he can whale out some. See, they're strong, but they're looking to just land one shot. They're not going to win the fight because that boat is barely floating, by the way. Right. It's ass. It's ass down.
Guest/Tech Expert
Well, here's apparently what the Solomon look. It's like a catamaran style. Like. That's what. That's what it looked like. Oh, before they. Before they nailed it and we blew it up.
John Holmberg
That's a great video.
Emily
Look at that thing. I just wanted that didn't look that. I don't know if that was the boat.
John Holmberg
That wasn't one of that. Who cares?
Guest/Tech Expert
This is the Soleimani. This is the one that they got.
John Holmberg
I don't know if you're right or wrong, and I don't care. Show it exploding again. Show me some. I'm. I'm one of them guys. When my country goes to war, I root for our boys to get it over with fast. Kill as many Iranians as possible, I
Ralphie May
say, and do it. Do toot sweet.
Emily
There you go.
John Holmberg
Blow that Up. Oh yeah. Give me some more. All I want is a bunch of. A bunch of. Ah, look at him, Brady. They're all falling out. Iranians everywhere. I love it. Look at that. Here comes. Here comes.
Brett
Miss.
John Holmberg
I like what my military kicks ass. I don't care if I agree with why it is what it is now. Blow them back to the biblical ages they want to live in.
Emily
Someone lost a boat.
John Holmberg
Yeah, sure, I'm fine with that. I mean, if that was at Bartlet Lake, I'd be concerned that we got subs at Bartlett. But it's not.
Brett
It was only the Dolly steamboat.
Talkspace Announcer
Yeah, if only.
John Holmberg
Good Lord. If only we could get a submarine out there at that Dolly steamboat. Take those things down. I would have prayed for it.
Cody
Oh, yeah, right.
John Holmberg
Is that a missile coming at us? Thank.
Brett
I hope so.
John Holmberg
Blow us out of this drink.
Emily
Put a mini sub.
Brett
Is it Bartlett or what's like Canyon or so?
John Holmberg
Canyon. I think I'd have gotten in that. That ill fated exploding sub that went. Took those. Those five billionaires down into the Atlantic. I'd have gotten into that if it
Brett
meant telling the boys. Yeah, I would have built.
John Holmberg
We should build one of our own and just go plop it in Canyon and take out the Dolly steamboats one by one. Titan picking them off. I got a PlayStation's a good idea. I don't even think we need to go Teemu. I think they did a pretty good job at Teemu and that thing in the first place.
Guest/Tech Expert
You got the new one?
John Holmberg
No, I'll put a suit and a wig on.
Cody
I'll be like, we're gonna blow the Dolly steamboat right out of Canyon Lake. Look out old people who just want to see one mountain goat. It's great stuff. How do you serve dry M and m'?
Brady
Do?
John Holmberg
All right, what do you got, Burke? All right,
Brett
we'll just start with a stressful video. It's not a bad ending, but it's just stressful. We were talking yesterday about lane splitting.
John Holmberg
Oh boy.
Brett
There you go.
John Holmberg
On his motorcycle in his helmet cam and he's going 100 miles an hour on him on a two lane freeway entrance, it looks like. Or some sort of highway. He's blazing down the road. Please don't do this. Oh, I hate motorcycle videos the most of all.
Guest/Tech Expert
It looks like those new lanes.
John Holmberg
Seventeen. He's blazing down. He's getting on the freeway now and it's. It's jam packed. He's far left lane. He's staying in the far left lane like a good rider. Don't scoot over. Don't. Oh, he's gonna lane split. Oh, he's lane splitting. He's going way too fast. Oh, nice move there. He gets to the left. Back to lane splitting a traffic jam, and this man's trying to get. Oh, he just barely got through that one. Oh, boy. There's another one.
Brett
Look at him.
John Holmberg
Oh, this guy's a. Movement was. Evil Knievel. This is incredible. Speeding up these lanes.
Emily
I can't watch this.
John Holmberg
This can't be real.
Emily
Liquidation is about to happen.
John Holmberg
I'm not watching this.
Brett
I'll just. I'll ruin it. He does make it, but.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Oh, man.
Guest/Tech Expert
How far?
John Holmberg
He's going like, 70 miles an hour.
Brett
30 seconds of this.
John Holmberg
Turn it off.
Emily
Got to the Renaissance Festival in 15 minutes.
John Holmberg
That's the most anxious I've felt in a long time.
Brett
Look at this one.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. Oh, Jesus Christ. I hate motorcycles.
Emily
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. Brett, sell it.
Brett
No way.
Brady
Wow.
John Holmberg
Oh, I'm gonna throw up. Turn that off. You're.
Guest/Tech Expert
I guess it's not that much bigger, but your Harley is. Isn't that agile. Right? You wouldn't be able to do that.
John Holmberg
Don't. No, it's not that.
Brett
Well, yeah.
John Holmberg
Did you see his face?
Emily
Yeah. Yeah.
John Holmberg
You thought about it, maybe?
Brett
No, I know I don't do that stuff.
John Holmberg
All right, here's a lady I don't even know with body paint. Naked lady with body paint skipping down a road, and the body paint is rainbows. Oh, now she's pissing in a dog bowl. And now she's on all fours at some sort of pub, and they pulled something. The guy just peed in a dog bowl, and she's lapping it up like a Labrador. Somebody shoves a toe in her ass while she's drinking the water.
Brett
The heel in there.
John Holmberg
Oh. And then they shoved a high heel up a girl's butt while she. What the.
Brett
I don't know. That's why I said, I don't know how to describe this one man.
John Holmberg
So wait, a lady with, like. She went to, like, kids face painting and had her boobs painted up like rainbow unicorn. And that naturally led right to a man pissing in a dog bowl. She gets on all fours. Oh, was it. Oh, well, his wiener was out, so I think he added his own. Anyway, it doesn't really matter. So she got this bowl of pee, source unknown, and plops down over there at the Applebee's and drinks it like a puppy. And one of the patrons decides, you know what's missing from this? A high Heel up your ass. And then it ends. Yeah, there's like, no cops or therapy or anything. All right.
Brett
We were talking, isn't it. Was it. The Iranian soccer team was in town?
John Holmberg
Yeah, they're in Tucson.
Brett
Tucson. I think this is some home video for them.
John Holmberg
Vagina. That has something. She's opening it up. And unreasonable. Oh, she's pushing out.
Emily
Come on.
John Holmberg
A World cup soccer ball just came out of that lady's vagina. That's. It's a small one, but it's still small one.
Emily
Yeah, it looked bigger.
John Holmberg
Took a lot of work to get big enough. Took a lot of work to get it in. Getting it out was no picnic. No.
Brett
We'll end with the Sawzall sex swing.
John Holmberg
Okay. We are developing new technology from a movie. Oh, okay. We're in a sex swing, and a guy puts a sawzall with a sex toy on it. On the girl. This is in a public place, by the way. And he turns the Sawzall on. It is now rapid firing. Oh. And it makes her react with a.
Emily
You're a. Wow.
John Holmberg
All right, real quick, for those of you tuning in there, I'll play it again for you. You. He puts the Sawzall with the sex toy in the woman while she's suspended above the stage. He hits the button once, and he's dressed relatively nicely. He's got a. He's the manager. Black button up shirt, some jeans. He fires it off, and then he yanks it out.
Grandma Character
Wank it.
John Holmberg
And then she fires pee at the audience. About 18ft.
Emily
Wow.
Brett
And we'll end with that one.
John Holmberg
That's gonna be somebody's grandma someday.
Emily
No.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it is. She's already got kids, Brady. There's no doubt about.
Grandma Character
No, she'll be dead.
Emily
She's not making it.
John Holmberg
That right there, living or dead, that was my grandmother. Is something someone will say about the lady suspended above a stage with a Sawzall dildo. You got a Milwaukee Tools dildo. And that lady's thinking, this is fun. And then she'll turn 35, then 45, then 55, and bouncing on her knee will be a future little Brayden. What did you used to do for fun in college, Grandma?
Grandma Character
Well, there was the time I put a Sawzall dildo in myself and hosed off the front audience like one of those bomb cyclones.
Emily
Grandma. Grandma enjoyed swings.
Grandma Character
Well, let's see. Grandma's was a playground in the back in the 90s.
Guest/Tech Expert
Let's just say.
Cody
Yes.
Grandma Character
Let's just say, Braden, I treated my like a rental car.
John Holmberg
Grandma.
Grandma Character
No I put that thing through hell.
John Holmberg
Was this before or after Mom? Oh, it was.
Grandma Character
Well, after your mother. I needed money. Your mother was about five and she was in the back room while I let men take power tools to my hoo ha. And then I'd squirt on audience members and they'd throw dollar bills at me. Back when I was growing up, dollar bills meant something.
Guest/Tech Expert
Grandma, that makes Christmases have a whole different meaning.
Grandma Character
Once, for one bitcoin, I shoved the front end of a Hyundai in my ass. Somebody dared me that my Kegels weren't strong enough to ride down the freeway attached to a side mirror of a Honda.
John Holmberg
I did it.
Grandma Character
Grandma made it a quarter mile before she fell off. Oh, yes, Granny had some fun.
Emily
Were you a.
Grandma Character
Go ahead, say it, squirter.
John Holmberg
Yep.
Grandma Character
Like my mother before me and her mother before her. And your mother as well. I've cleaned the sheets.
John Holmberg
That's someone's Grandma. That's someone's. Watch his face. That's someone's baboo.
Emily
New.
John Holmberg
Someday there'll be a little chubby boy in culottes giving that a hug.
Grandma Character
Oh, I like when he calls me Boo Boo. Oh, mind the hips. They've been through a lot, young man.
John Holmberg
Anyway, it's 8:42.
Cody
There you go.
John Holmberg
The 8 o' clock word this morning is magnetic. Somebody's Boo Boo. Think about that every time you watch one of Brett's videos.
Emily
Don't think about that, man.
Cody
It's gonna be somebody's baboo.
John Holmberg
And there's gonna be a popple chick.
Grandma Character
I didn't know anything about this. Well, we learn as we age.
John Holmberg
Magnetic's the word you want to put in there. And there. Everybody is a life lesson. And your birdie report, it's 98.
Emily
Hey, it's not weird.
John Holmberg
It's pretty cool, actually.
Emily
No membership fee.
Cody
I have heard enough of this to you, pd.
Podcast: Holmberg's Morning Sickness (98KUPD, Arizona)
Date: March 5, 2026
Episode: Fun Facts, Bulletproof 3D Houses, Food News, and Wild Videos
Hosts: John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Emily, Cody, Dick Toledo (Producer), Guest/Tech Expert
This episode is a classic, irreverent Thursday morning blend of bizarre news stories, food-related updates, pop culture commentary, and signature “Brady Report” fun facts. The crew dives into everything from the largest sand castle in the world and 3D-printed, allegedly bulletproof homes in California, to the return of Chick-fil-A's original fries. As always, it’s laced with raunchy jokes, listener banter, and outrageous “Brett’s videos”—with plenty of laugh-out-loud, sometimes shocking, moments.
Notable Fun Facts:
On war coverage:
“Let’s take a look at Tel Aviv. Anything? Nothing. All right, never mind.” (01:13, John)
On “bulletproof houses”:
“Is telling people your house is bulletproof just encourage people to prove it?” (15:31, John)
On Fat Food Super-Detectives:
“Fats figure it out. What’s different in Chick-fil-A? … It’s the only time us fats get active.” (24:41-25:03, Ralphie May/John)
On Nashville's “mini Sphere”:
“You’re not going lil Sphere if big sphere exists.” (10:38, John)
Irreverent, quick-witted, and unfiltered, this episode embodies the show’s signature Arizona “guy humor”—jumping seamlessly from technology, local satire, and food debates to delightfully profane “video reviews” and running jokes (“that’s somebody’s grandma!”). The banter is equal parts informed, snarky, and totally boundary-pushing.
Holmberg’s Morning Sickness remains a must-listen for fans of morning radio that isn’t afraid to offend or amuse at the highest—and lowest—levels. This episode is rich in random facts, Arizona flavor, and jaw-dropping audio-visual moments. If you missed it, the summary above means you didn’t have to hear about the Sawzall grandma yourself (but you probably wish you had).
