  "You were in the suites. It was their chance. I guess I shouldn't say that." [06:15]

Discussion on Bill Belichick's Relationship

[16:17 - 33:45]

The conversation shifts to sports icon Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend, exploring themes of generational differences, selfishness, and societal perceptions of older men dating significantly younger women. The hosts analyze Belichick’s relationship dynamics, suggesting that his motivations are self-serving and reflective of broader societal trends.

  "Bill Belichick is awesome because he winks and nods at us like, I'm playing you guys." [16:33]

• Bret's Observation:

  "She gets every message he gets." [16:22]

John Watched "Anora Over Break and Was Bored to Death

[35:25 - 39:00]

  "It's an hour and a half of watching people drink and have sex and party and it's not interesting." [36:22]

• Brady’s Response:

  "We heard of it." [36:09]

Annual Rant Against Traditional Irish Food for St. Patrick’s Day

[39:29 - 45:34]

In a spirited and humorous segment, the hosts rant against traditional Irish dishes commonly consumed during St. Patrick’s Day. They single out corned beef and cabbage, Guinness, and cabbage-based stews as unappetizing and undesirable, comparing them unfavorably to other cuisines like tamales.

• John’s Rant on Irish Cuisine:

  "Irish people, your food's horrible. Your corned beef and cabbage is awful." [40:02]

• Brady’s Agreement:

  "They don’t mess with an Irishman." [44:02]

John recounts a personal anecdote about visiting an Irish friend's house, describing the overwhelming stench and unappetizing appearance of traditional dishes. The discussion extends to mockery of how certain foods are culturally enforced during specific celebrations, highlighting a preference for more universally appealing cuisines.

Additional Highlights

• Commercial Breaks Commentary: During the break, John criticizes recent commercial advertisements featuring Elton John’s AIDS foundation and misleading portrayals of needy Holocaust survivors, questioning the authenticity and necessity of such campaigns.

  "It's a huge scam and you can't say, so help the needy Jews of the Holocaust." [12:05]

• Social Media and News Perception: The hosts touch on the influence of platforms like Reddit and the general public’s trust in non-traditional news sources, expressing skepticism about information accuracy.

  "It's like saying, I overheard news at the restaurant. Like it doesn't mean anything." [35:31]

[Brady]

You're listening to the HMS Podcast, brought to you by mmpguns.com your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories.

[John Holmberg]

You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil. Sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Monday. It is 5:45. This the morning sickness. My name's John Holmberg. How are you? There's Brady, there's Brett, there's Toledo. All fresh off of a spring break fun, oh boy. Kind of week. I did absolutely nothing. More nothing than I could ever have imagined.

[Brett]

It was cloneless.

[John Holmberg]

What happened?

[Brett]

I was partying too hard last night. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Forgot at their house. Oh, you're at somebody's house. Screw this. I'm leaving. My clothes, my phone. Your wife tastes great. See ya. And then you left. You're like, oh, now I gotta get out of here. I gotta get out of here. I was licking that guy's wife in spots I didn't know she had. Well, good for you, Brady. That sounds. But was that because Tyler the creator made you feel a little bit.

[Brett]

A little off ever since that life changing concert?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, one of the worst. He sent me a picture. Brady went to Tyler the Creator. That's why we had the week off. And he needed recovery time. Well, we knew. We knew. Brady, Brady and T. The sea. You know, they were gonna. It was gonna be a problem. Sent me the worst picture I've ever seen in father daughter concert history, which is you standing next to Kirby, who's already miserable that you're there in the suite at Tyler the creator, just ruining it. 16. She's supposed to be having fun with her friends. She's got this North Korean dictator standing over her shoulder the entire time.

[Brett]

Yes, I got out of there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she knew you were Close.

[Brett]

It was A good, good 45 minutes in the merch line getting.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, you had to go buy girls. Yeah, that's when they snuck me their order. Sure. Yeah. Bad. Why don't you go buy us some jerseys or something? That'd be great. And then they just hammered gummies while you were gone because they were having fun at a concert you were ruining.

[Brady]

How much you get banged for in the line?

[Brett]

You know, stand up. 55 bucks for a T shirt.

[John Holmberg]

Did you get all the kids shirts?

[Brett]

No, just two.

[John Holmberg]

You bought two kids shirts?

[Brett]

Well, her mom gave me money.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, you had a per diem. You got so on this deal. It is ridiculous. All those other parents were like, God, Brady's a knob. I can't believe he's doing this. What else can they make him jump off a cliff?

[Brett]

Town of the creator said, hey, thanks to all the parents who brought their kids out here today.

[John Holmberg]

You're welcome. Brady's the only one. Brady's the only one. None of the parents went to that. Good lord. Yeah. That's brutal. But the picture was just like you. You standing at Tyler the Creator with Kirby. And she looked like she was ready to have fun. You can't with your dad hanging around there. It was pretty probably a nice time watching the show, but how much more fun would it have? Could you imagine ever going to? When I was 16, it would have been like Motley Crue or something stupid. My dad standing behind me like, I'm not going to this. Dan's going with me. The second he got out of the car and shut the door, I'd be like, you know what? I'll just go grab some food, not do this.

[Brady]

I remember going to an iced Te concert. My dad's like, I sue. No, you're going by yourself.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, but could you imagine if he did go? No, you wouldn't have gone. No, I would have just skipped it. I'll wait until you're not tagging along. But you went. All the other parents probably had some sort of weird purple light orgy while you were at Tyler the Creator baby.

[Brady]

Upside down pineapples in the front yards in Gilbert this weekend.

[John Holmberg]

How do we get rid of Brady for that? It's going to be awesome. He's the only one I don't want to have sex with. Maybe you could send him off to the kids concert.

[Brett]

You guys need some merch.

[John Holmberg]

I'd rather go to Kirby's recitals than with Kirby to a concert, because I know I'm just dead weight. Oh, it's awful. The Worst. And you're gonna say, it's great. It was fine. But it wasn't like, deep down, she's gonna be like, oh, I can't wait till he does it.

[Brett]

You know, it was a long night. I will say the. The concert was better than I thought it would be.

[John Holmberg]

Well, sure, yeah. He's an entertainer. It wasn't about that.

[Brady]

He was getting chicken.

[John Holmberg]

Good. Yeah, you were. You were. It's called a contact. And you felt pretty good about the night because you were getting stoned off your daughter's smoke. There's an awful lot of smoke in here, isn't there, daddy? Yuck. Right? Yucky. Yuck. I'm high as a kite. I feel like a dragon. No, it's there. It's not about the concert. Tyler's a creator is fine. Yeah. And you're probably like, wow, he's better than I thought. The problem was your overwhelming Kim Jong un presence.

[Brett]

I don't know if I'm gonna make it back home. The drive. I might fall asleep.

[John Holmberg]

You know, you made. Did you. You made everyone uncomfortable there, too. That's the worst part. Even people who didn't know you. Like, why is he here? Like you were no there.

[Brett]

There were a number of me's there.

[John Holmberg]

Older gentlemen taking their kids. You had to be pretty close to.

[Brady]

The only cracker from Gilbert.

[Brett]

There's definitely a lot of high school kids there.

[John Holmberg]

Sure. Well, they used to be allowed to go to college. I don't know what happened.

[Brett]

Bombs left along.

[John Holmberg]

There's a lot of singing along, too.

[Brett]

She knows every. You know all three of those kids know every word of the songs. It was a sing along.

[John Holmberg]

Did they skip the ends? They didn't. They're from Gilbert.

[Brett]

Of course, I cannot confirm.

[John Holmberg]

Brady, you confirmed it with your faith. When I said, do they skip the end, your head dropped like, I'm a bad dad.

[Brett]

They're sing along. I'm just assuming they're hitting everyone, knocking them down.

[John Holmberg]

They're Gilbert kids. Of course they were. It's there.

[Brett]

And I looked over to the side. Everyone else singing along.

[John Holmberg]

Of course they're singing along. It's the chance for white kid. You were in the suites. It was their chance. It was their time to shine, so to speak. I guess I shouldn't say that.

[Brett]

I tell you what that setup is different from. It's pretty. It's the box seats.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, sure.

[Brett]

So you have two in front, two back. You're like at an opera.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And then that's exactly outside.

[Brett]

You open the curtain up and you go out there. And there's the dining area.

[John Holmberg]

Wasn't it where we watched the doobie brothers? No, no, it was in a different spot.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that was. Yeah. I was thinking about that again, but you sent me that picture from Tyler, the creator, and I'm like, this is just. I felt so sorry for Kirby so bad. Pop pop standing in the suite, chowing down on the chicken fingers and w. Tri tip. Oh, it tri tips in there. Yeah. It's probably no good anyway. Either way, congratulations. You made it through. Poor Kirby. Someday, Kirby, you'll be allowed out of the house without daddy sitting there monitoring your N bombs.

[Brady]

So are you taking her to Kendrick Lamar in May?

[John Holmberg]

That's probably good.

[Brett]

She wants to go.

[John Holmberg]

I bet. Do you? That's the big thing.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You guys want to go? We'll pay for it. You're going on another date to ruin her teenage years? Oh, terrible. It's probably better, though. My sister used to go to concerts. She was 15 and 16 and borderline. Almost got pregnant like eight times. So I was shooting to Billy Idol. That was a good one. Found out that was.

[Brett]

They want to go to that one coming up. Billy Idol with Joan Jett. I think Herbie does. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

That's weird. My sister wanted to go when he was relevant and it was over. I think it was. Whatever that was. Something small. I don't remember where it was, but it wasn't a big place. And he canceled. And only the people who were going knew that. And my sister still left and went to the Billy Idol concert.

[Brady]

I thought she was going to a Vicente Fernandez show.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she was getting. She was getting jarred like something in the back of a Camaro. Came home and, like, there was no concert. Where were you? There was a concert, you idiot. Shut up from the news, you dumb ass. And it was like Billy idol was coming to town, but he had to cancel. Cause he's horse. It was all over the place. And she thought she'd get away with it. Oh, the house exploded. My dad still didn't want to go. And he liked Billy Idol. He just didn't want to go with her. Nightmare. Anyway, congratulations, Brady. That's. It's impressive.

[Brett]

Good times.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I'm sure it was. So they say Said the man who refuses to say things suck because boy, that sucks. How many stars you give and you'll be again? Don't even ask because he's got it. To make keep himself sane, he has to act like this was all good. It wasn't. We know the truth.

[Brett]

So talented.

[John Holmberg]

Listen to your Daughter scream the n word over and over and over. It's just. I mean, it's just a failure.

[Brady]

I would have went just to see that.

[John Holmberg]

Me too, man. Just. I wouldn't. I'd be like, oh, versions. Who has raised you, you foul mouth little tramp? Him back there. Oh, the guy with tri tips all over his face.

[Brett]

Well, tell you that little yachty did a great job.

[John Holmberg]

Unless he do another number. And two and a three. N word. N word. N word. It's great stuff. A few things did happen while we were on. Oh, are you printing already? I don't want to know. I was just glad we were off the air for something I saw on the news, Something that would have. Oh, there's the picture. Yeah.

[Brady]

You see this picture, though?

[John Holmberg]

Who got you the shirt? What's his shirt?

[Brett]

That was Dylan. Your guy, Dylan.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. Oh, okay.

[Brett]

I get to the box and the guy. Another guy from the suns take it off. The takeout office comes over with his black bag.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Hands you a shirt. Because Dylan and I had a bunch.

[Brett]

Of stickers that were basic. Tyler, the creator.

[John Holmberg]

Because Dylan was the guy who's. He works in the sun's ticket office.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And he's my son's rep. And he was the one. I asked him, like, is there anything you do to get things? And he got the tickets for you to buy for this because it was sold out and then some. It was like, yeah, take it to this.

[Brett]

I'll tell you, that's the shirt.

[John Holmberg]

What's the shirt say?

[Brett]

My favorite stoner calls me dad.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's right. And it was for Kirby. And he asked me. He asked me, he goes, what's Brady's size for a shirt? And I think I said, I don't know. What 7x? I don't know if they make those. And he said, no, really? And I said 2x3. And that. That's at least a 5. You could have both slid into that. Is that.

[Brett]

It is.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my God.

[Brett]

But I think we have it pushed forward. I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

It looks big ass.

[Brett]

Yeah. I mean, it looks like both of us could get in there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Well. Yeah. Yeah.

[Brady]

Ralphie can almost fit.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. That looked like a Ralph T shirt. Yeah. Well, you can grow into it, as mom used to say. While we were off, I'm watching the news and I'm like, ah, the ty creator thing, that would have been fun. But that's all right. Brady can have that. We'll get back to that. And then on the news, I watch in the middle of the night BBC did a 20 minute special on this being the anniversary of the discovery of Uranus. But I'm like, oh, thank Jesus. We weren't on the air for that. Don't. He reached for his phone.

[Brett]

It'll be in there.

[John Holmberg]

Habitual. He reached for his phone to check dates and stuff. So he put that in his brain. Yeah, that was a good one.

[Brett]

Hear the words you say sometimes.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, who talks like that? 98K U. PD Holmberg's Morning Sickness. Another thing I noticed while I was on break is there's a lot of commercials running right now with Elton John talking about his AIDS foundation and that we have to stop aids. Is there something I missed? I thought we did.

[Brady]

That's like ages.

[John Holmberg]

More rubbers and porn anymore. Like, yeah.

[Brett]

He's like, it's the only one left. His foundation, his age.

[John Holmberg]

That's what I thought. I think there's two commercials and I've been complaining about one for a long time. And that's the help the needy Jews of the Holocaust. I'm like, there's tops. Five poor Jews left from the Holocaust. Tops. And they show these old people in these wretched shacks. And then it's like, I've been watching this commercial is the same one that lady was on her last legs five years ago. There's no way they're still needy Jews from the Holocaust. There's just no way. There's nobody.

[Brett]

They're like the 25 orphaned babies that survived or something.

[John Holmberg]

They're 80, and at this point, they didn't experience the Holocaust. If they did, they don't remember it. They might have a tattoo maybe. I don't even know if they tattooed the babies. Was there a lot of pregnancy at the Holocaust? I don't think there was a lot of that going on. This is. It's a huge scam and you can't say, so help the needy Jews of the Holocaust. Mike, show me all of them. Because they all fit in one school bus. And I know they don't like mass transit probably, but put them in one bus and drive them to me and then I'll believe you. But I don't buy that. That's a charitable need. The other one was Elton John's AIDS foundation. And I'm like, nobody's even scared of AIDS anymore. You have to really work hard to get the aids. Like, really hard. I have gay neighbors. There's like, I've been to their pool parties. There's no. It's over. That's. Nobody's worried about that. There's commercials now where you can like party and have the thing that used to give you aids.

[Brett]

They're showing them at parties.

[John Holmberg]

That's all they're doing. It's like before you have sex, like with hiv. Yeah, don't worry about it. It doesn't go anywhere anymore. I'm like, okay. And then there's Elton, like all the. After 11:00 at night, Elton John's on TV constantly saying, we got to stop AIDS like Delton. I think we did. I don't think we're worried about that anymore. I don't think that's. I don't think that's something we need to. That and the needy. Look, not to sound insensitive, but if you haven't solved like some financial issues since the Holocaust, it's no longer the Holocaust's fault. It's the argument everybody has about slavery and reparations and stuff like, look, I understand, but we're not giving you money right now. I'll give you a couple bucks here and there, but we're not giving you cash. It doesn't seem like you. If you're hurting and you're like, it's a charity that we. That's not a thing. He says, Who's Brady kidding? There's a huge portion of the crowd there at Tyler, the Creator, whose dads weren't around. That's just rude, Chris Clark. That's just rude. And yeah, there was a lot. There was a lot that happened over the break. The Gene Hackman thing has me excited because here's what I'm learning. And I never thought I'd utter the phrase, Bill Belichick is awesome, but he is. He's flaunting his 24 year old girlfriend, which it isn't about the age, although it kind of is. What he's flaunting is, I've done so much for so many other people in my life. This is about me now, that girl. And I read comments because Bill Belichick's on the beach and he's got. He's laying on his back like a turtle and he's got his arms up and his feet up like a table. Upside down table. And she's laying across his feet and holding his arms and doing these poses and he's holding. He's 75 years old. It's like, that's pretty impressive anyway. But he's got his feet up in the air and she's laying across the street like Superman. Yeah, she's doing like, you know, she's flying on his feet. You know, she's. That's pretty good for an old man. I don't know that I would trust too many 75 year old men to balance me on their feet. There he is doing it. And they're on the beach and having time of their lives. It is a slew of bitter human beings commenting about how wrong this is. And I'm like, you know what? She's getting something. And he's definitely getting something. And he's basically saying, I'm doing this for me. I'm closing out my life, doing what I want to do, and they don't care.

[Brett]

And if you're at North Carolina, you want to send them a message. Yeah, you got a CC Jordan.

[John Holmberg]

Go through her. You got to go through her.

[Brett]

She gets every message he gets.

[John Holmberg]

Good. Because he's basically saying to everybody else, I've done enough for you. Like I look at these pictures of him and that's a pretty good 75 year old.

[Brady]

I'm impressed.

[John Holmberg]

Imagine Tripp, he's the same age as Bill Belichick. Imagine Tripp with anybody on his.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Just balancing on the beach. His legs would crumble. Some trip on the stairs. I know. See that? I wouldn't trust your kid with a 75 year old. Gonna climb up on my feet. Well, somebody is.

[Brady]

It's impressive.

[Brett]

They don't even need to communicate. She just has her voice canceling headphones on.

[John Holmberg]

Right. She doesn't listen to him and he doesn't care. And all the comments were, what do they have to talk about? This is an abomination. What a pervert. And I'm like, nope, nope. He's a dude who looked around and said, she's interested in me. I'm taking advantage of this. He's got all the money you'll ever need. Now here's the thing, like the Gene Hackman thing that draws me to this is that my first reaction when Gene Hackman died and his wife was dead and you found out that she's 31 years younger than him, is that something's going on with the kids. Right? Yeah, that was my first thought. My first right was like, oh, kids killed. Her dad was on his last legs at 95. The Hackman money, which they said was somewhere between 30 and $50 million on the Internet, I don't know how true that is. I don't know. Made a decent amount of cake and he. And you know, it started to leak out. He didn't have a great relationship with him and whether they were going to kill that woman well, now it just leaked out here that she had in the will, she had her own money. Gene had his own money, but somewhere along the lines he said, it's all hers if I die. Yep, kids get nothing. They weren't in the will at all. At all. It was all hers. So it makes me wonder still, even a little bit, like, how do you give somebody hantavirus? I think the kids are still doing. I think there's still something there of.

[Brett]

The ins of the way the state, California or New Mexico, I think works, that she died before him.

[John Holmberg]

Right.

[Brett]

Which now the heir apparent can now say.

[John Holmberg]

Right.

[Brett]

It goes, well, it should transfer, or they have every right to have a transfer.

[John Holmberg]

Prior to her dying. One of the kids said, I'm going to contest this will. Like, he made it known through legal circles when he dies, I'm contesting. Just know you got to fight on your hands because he's, you know, he's my dad and this is mine. So I knew that was a thing. But then I started to think to myself, too, that anytime a guy, Bill Belichick, Gene Hackman, gets with somebody 30, 35 years younger, it's all selfishness. And it is. And he may be the happiest guy ever. All those comments. There was one guy in the comments for the Jeep or the Belichick thing when the ladies were mad. It's like a man and a woman need to have conversations and this and that. And he goes, look at the marriage rate. It's not working. He goes, why not try something new? And he's. And then, you know, he had this story about back in. You know, I don't like when anybody ever compares anything to data. This. And he goes, two, three hundred years ago, women wanted the older guys because they had established something in their lives they didn't. You know, that was the way to comfort you didn't want to sit with some, you know, dude mucking mud all day. You want security, Wanted security, and this guy provided that. And, you know, it was stability and maturity and life experience, and that was what they were attracted to. And it used to be the older the guy you had, the better you must be. And it's kind of a weird thing. So. But then I started looking. I'm like, any guy who's doing this is doing this to either make his kids mad, his ex wife mad, or it's just for himself. So the second, like, you look at a guy's got, he's. It's all selfishness.

[Brett]

His kids are spoiled.

[John Holmberg]

It's 100% selfishness. He's tired of his family screaming and yelling. He feels that heat so many people probably with money feel from their kids looking at him like, I'm not accomplished anything, but I'll just wait for you to die. And we've talked about this for years. That's a generational thing. Like the last, I don't know, two generations won't shut up about when a family member dies. I get blah, blah, blah. It's like a celebration.

[Brady]

I got friends that are that way. It's crazy. That ain't yours.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And so I think there's a lot of people who are playing that same selfish card that the, that the kids are playing. Like, well, that's mine. And they're like, no, go get your own. I'm gonna do what I want now. And I might give it to her. Like, she's the one that treats me great. She's not waiting for me to die. And if she is, she's gonna do some stuff to earn it.

[Brett]

And then right now, as it stands, you know, since he died and her will is, if there's no there, there's no next of kin or relatives, it all goes to charity, various charities.

[Brady]

That's what I read. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Hers is all charity stuff. Right. And his, well, his has, his has a ton on there. But that's where the son came in and said, well, I'll just contest everything. This, this will's going to be in court forever. So he's been barking for years, probably to his mother, you know, dad's doing. Can you believe dad married this girl? She's like 31 years old, he's 60 something. It won't last. And it did until they died. And that was his hope, was he couldn't leave. I guarantee you those kids were horrible to that woman for a good portion of time because it's just, I can't believe it. Just, she just showed up. Gene was probably like, the reason she's here. Part of the reason she's here, I'm sure, is to push you guys away.

[Brett]

Obviously there wasn't a strong relationship. They said, you know, I think that started when they started going out.

[John Holmberg]

I'll tell you exactly why it wasn't there was. He was an estranged dad because his kids were there for the money. They're worse than the girl. They're worse than the 20 something, 30 something year old girl that's there maybe to have a great time with a guy who provides a lot. But she's in the will. She's in the will. Whatever but like, he's done listening to them talk about hopefully they've had a.

[Brett]

Pretty good life, which it sounds like they're not.

[John Holmberg]

Like, there's nothing at all. A parent wants to hear less, I would imagine, than their kids going, dad, have you taken care of the will? Like, I don't want you. Don't worry about it. You'll be fine. Like, there's that. You know what? Screw you. I'm gonna do this for me now. And I think that's going to be the way things are lining up. I think that's going to be the way of the future. I think old dudes are going to sit there and like, why am I giving it to them?

[Brett]

Hear the words you say sometimes.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, who talks like that? 98 Hol's Morning Sickness. Why am I going to sit back and sacrifice my world so they can have stuff? If my dad started well, I think things have changed.

[Brett]

Good for him to a certain extent of we're living longer, right? Like, do I have enough to even last? I don't know what I'm gonna be able to leave.

[John Holmberg]

And you go get something that has some fun with it, that likes you, that wants to do things that nobody else wants to do. Kato Kaelin is married to a woman 31 years younger than him. And Cato looks good. He doesn't look 66. He looks, he looks good. So when we were talking about it, he even said that he goes, I can't find anybody close to my age that can have fun with me and keep up with me. And he goes, amanda, they hate me for this. And we were. And I'm like, really? So that's the worst thing you've ever been part of? Second worst thing he's ever been part of, I guess. But he was like, hey, so. So, you know, I relate better to somebody that wants to, to be active. And he goes, 66 year old women, if I'm supposed to stay in my own age bracket, can't keep up with me. And I couldn't keep up with a guy. He was a machine. He was amazing sexually. I could have easily, I mean, no matter how to pounded Cato into the floor, but it was true. Like, he had more energy than you could ever imagine. This is just I'm. And he even said it, he said, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a young boy at heart. And he goes. And I fought it for years and now I just embrace it. It's like, that's just who I am. I'm just A kid. And I'm like, you know what, there's nothing wrong with that. But he married some Asian woman in her 30s, like, all right. But he's like, oh, people hate it. And I'm like, yeah, because they realize. And I don't know what Cato has to offer as far as money, but she seems to question. You get all the time, what does he do?

[Brett]

How does he make money?

[Brady]

I don't know, he's got some jack somewhere, somewhere hidden.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah, he's done something. He must get big money for those documentaries. I don't know. But watching that hackman thing, I'm like, and this isn't about like a guy with a younger lady, this is about the kids. If you're one of those people who has a parent with some money and you're waiting for them, deep down you, you sit and fantasize of what it's going to be like when they're dead. You're the reason that 70 year old men go and find 25. They're mad at you, they're not mad at their ex wife, they're mad at you, they're mad at their kids talking wills, they're mad at trust. Is everything in order? It's like, don't worry, I know why you're asking and it has nothing to do with my. Nobody asks their parents if everything's in order because they're concerned about them. They won't even be there to enjoy what's in order. You should still have a will and stuff to make sure that there's, you know, all of your things go where you want them to. But the fact of the matter is, if they don't go to your kids, that's your choice. I don't care where your money goes. If you're one of those people, I've got, you know, family members, I've got other people who will constantly say, well, I didn't really have to do much because when my uncle dies, I'm gonna get like $2 million. Like how old your uncle? 61. So you plan on doing nothing, like really for yourself for a few, like couple decades? What if this guy goes into his 80s? Yeah, you know, if he does, that's fine. I'm set for that. So I'm just gonna coast.

[Brett]

Uncle, am I still good?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we good?

[Brett]

I still need.

[John Holmberg]

Do you call him every day and like, what do you do for him? You pick up his dry cleaning and no, I haven't talked to him for like a year, but you know, I'm in The I'm in the will. I'm like, oh my God. If your life plan is to make sure that your parents wealth gets passed down to you, don't be shocked when the old man turns 80 and he looks around and there's some college girl going, hi. It's like, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna start that a lot. And you're not getting anything anymore because I'm tired of you asking about the will. Do like what Brent and I do. Lie to your parents. Lie to your dad like I do and say, dad, spend it all. It's like, I couldn't pass. It's worked so well. My dad won't spend any money now. Spend it all, dad. No, I wouldn't do that. I want to leave something for you. Like, that's dumb. I've got. I'm fine. No, come on. He's begging me to take his money.

[Brady]

At this point, it is his to do with what he wants. That's why I look at it like, you know, that's a decent leftover, fine.

[John Holmberg]

Decent brain right there. Anybody looking forward to their family members dying, so they cash in or they're sick.

[Brady]

But if Kurt showed up with Belichick's girl, hey, more power to you, pops.

[John Holmberg]

Imagine if he says it. You're looking at him, you're like, this is weird, dad. You know, this could end badly. Like, I'm concerned for you. You know what? I'm going to give her all my money. You know that, right? Like, yes, I do. And that's fine because you've got to. That's the reason she's there. And she's providing you all this stuff and you're providing her security. And I bet you guys are having the time of your life. It won't last. No. 90% of the time it won't last. One of.

[Brady]

You're not going to last.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. It's not, it's not a long contract for her. But you know what? If you're, if think about it. If you could go out having a blast, well, somebody that like, wants it. And all you gotta do is take some ridicule from some bitter ladies and some weird dudes who bark at you the entire time about what do you have to talk about? I'm like, look, I've been married three times. I didn't have anything to talk about with them either. I don't know that I have a lot to talk about, to be honest.

[Brady]

My dad's talked about it before. He goes, I. I don't I can't get along with these older broads. I. They look like the Crypt Keeper. I can't do anything with that. And I'm like, and your dad still looks good. Yeah, he does.

[John Holmberg]

Worst part is he don't look his age. No.

[Brady]

Or act his age, actually.

[John Holmberg]

So he's a boy.

[Brady]

Yeah. I mean, he's just, you know.

[John Holmberg]

But this Hackman thing, she's younger than. It's eye opening because any. And it made me realize any guy that's got some. He marries her and she's 30 years younger. That's more of a shot at the kids than anything else.

[Brett]

Succession. They got a taste of it, though. That's the tough thing.

[John Holmberg]

Well, he was given.

[Brett]

That's. You know, all sudden, the kids. You always, you know how many countless movies are that their one kid is just off the charts direction.

[John Holmberg]

They're waiting for death. Yeah. Gene Hackman story. I knew the kids would get involved in this. I knew it the second that thing happened. I read that she was 60, 31 years younger than him. Like, oh, he hates his kids. He's mad at his kids for some reason. And this lady gave him everything he wanted. So much so. And she stuck around. It worked. They were married for like 25 years.

[Brett]

She prolonged him. They're crediting her for about 15 years.

[John Holmberg]

Additional life in 2004.

[Brett]

Diet.

[John Holmberg]

He was supposed to die.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

He quit movies because he's like, my heart barely works right now. I got to get better. And then, yeah, she came along and fixed him. I mean, I don't ever want to live to be 95. That sounds horrible. Especially the way he went out.

[Brett]

He was jailed for a while up in New Mexico.

[John Holmberg]

He lasted like seven or eight days without her. And he walked by her, tried his.

[Brett]

To get a steak.

[John Holmberg]

She's still sleeping. And then he'd just wander around pooping himself. Lazy bitch. Get up. Just sleeping. The Hackman was wandering that. But that story is interesting. So many layers to that. But if you. If you see your. Your dad or your mom with some young stallion or filly, that's a shot at you. Dad, what are you doing? And he won't ever say it, but that's you. You've been nagging him about something way too much. And mostly his stuff. He's getting a little possessive and he's like, no, this is mine. I'm gonna give it to who I want, not who wants it.

[Brett]

If you're 40 or 50 years old and it hasn't happened yet, get your act together.

[John Holmberg]

What he does, does like he's 90. I don't know that. Look, stop it. Go get a job. That matters. Well, I got a career and stuff. You're your dad's assistant, for Christ's sake. I don't know what the Hackman kids do, but they're up. The one is upset. And the second he starts screaming to tmz, I will contest this. This is not gonna be. I'm, you know, this goes to charities. This is my money. That's why your dad did what he did. And probably at the time of his life, up until he could, you know, she banged his memory out of him is essentially how I looked at it. He didn't have dementia. He was just really dizzy.

[Brett]

Not losing that to Yoko, right?

[John Holmberg]

Yep. And Yoko was the same age, but yeah. And then when Cato said that he's like 66 year old woman. I can't imagine Cato with a 66 year old woman. Yeah, I can't at all now, can I imagine him with somebody young and weird and like, likes Kato Kalin and like, I guess. But that's an energy factor. Like he's Peter Pan, for God's sakes. And Belichick is too. And Bill's doing it to flaunt it to all the haters like me. But it didn't work. It turned, it turned me, I think, the world of Bill Belichick. Now that I'd have lost that bet 10 years ago, thinking, someday you're going to think that guy's great. Nope, never. But now I do. I think he's absolutely awesome because he winks and nods at us like, I'm playing you guys. Like I used to play NFL refs. Look at everybody mad at me. He can't live a day of his life without the general public looking at him going, what an asshole. That's what that fuels him. He is the evil empire. It fuels him to have all sorts of hate, Internet or otherwise, just directed right at him. Completely. I'm over the whole tape scandal, his football cheating days, all the stuff he used to do when he'd get away with one. And he'd that little smirk on the sideline when he would circumvent the rules and nobody could stop him. And then they'd have to change stuff. It was brilliant. He's still doing it and now he's doing it with humans. Yep. See if I can make this work in society too. Oh, yep, they all hate me, which is great. And he got cameras set up on the beach to take his angel model and kick her around for a while like a beach ball. And people are like, oh, I hate this so much. It's called jealousy. And it's both sides. Men are jealous and women are jealous because it's like. And ladies, if you're 20 something and you got a 70 year old former football coach with eight rings and all the money in the world and you don't find him interesting, there's something wrong with you. He's a gross old man. That's your problem. You need to get over that immediately. I'm thinking about it. I might slob on Bill for thinking about being a homosexual. Like, me too. I am too. Can I try on your rings?

[Brett]

Prop me up on the beach.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna put a finger inside you with the rings on. I'm okay. I'm up for it. Yeah, that's. That's. Belichick has got it figured out, but it's very funny. And I'm only. I'm kind of almost in the same camp as him with the. Let's just see how this unfolds. Just get the popcorn and watch this. Because, man, he's doing it. He's a troll. Only he's using human beings.

[Brett]

Hear the words you say sometimes.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, who talks like that? 98 kupd Holmberg's Morning Sickness.

[Brett]

I'll be following North Carolina football a little more. Just see what's going on.

[John Holmberg]

She took a picture from a window that they're not sure where of the stadium, but they're like, I think that's in a. An apartment. He must be staying. Like, she was there. Took a photo of the North Carolina football stadium. It's like, oh, God, he just got done boning her. Like, we all, like you all draw the conclusions of what just happened. Why she's in that room at seven in the morning taking pictures of her boyfriend's new job. I'm 75. It's my girlfriend. You're weird, but high five. I saw a guy this weekend, and here's another thing that was weird. He went. I think it was in the uk, he put out a fake Instagram video of having gotten his girlfriend and his girlfriend's mom pregnant at the same time. Nice kill, right? And then like 3.9 million people checked in on this, jumped in on it. He got a ton of money. And then he came back as. I was just kidding around. Is there. Can you. Is that still okay? Like you can just lie about something.

[Brett]

Like a Ponzi scheme?

[John Holmberg]

And he said it. He goes, it's a skit. I Was doing an Internet skit, but he let it go for a few days and then fed the beast a little bit with a couple little pieces of information. Pictures. He goes, there's no babies. I didn't. None of this, actually. We were just doing a thing like you just collected off of that. Like you made a. You made a good chunk of change off of that deal. You can just flat lie and make people crazy and it's a number.

[Brett]

You think about it. What is he doing other than it's made up stuff.

[John Holmberg]

Nosy neighbors is all it is. It's just people putting their nose in his business because he put it out there. Yeah. I don't understand anything anymore at all. I watched.

[Brett]

That's why, like, Reddit has become a news source.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, completely, completely. Cora and Reddit. And I was like, man, I saw on Reddit, I'm like, that's just people talking. That's like saying, I overheard news at the restaurant. Like it doesn't mean anything. I. And then. But my finger's so far off the pulse of society because I watched and maybe it's not. I think I'm in the majority on this. I watched the best picture winner, Anora. Have you watched this at all? There's a reason why all the Marvel movies made money.

[Brady]

We heard of it.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it was best picture at the Oscars. Exactly.

[Brady]

I never heard of it.

[John Holmberg]

And it's about a girl who's a stripper. Professional prostitute. Stripper. Who runs into Russian kids. Yeah, you think so? Until. And there's tons of sex.

[Brady]

Okay, well, you selling me?

[John Holmberg]

Even if I was a teenager, I wouldn't have beat off Daniel.

[Brady]

Oh, no kidding.

[John Holmberg]

It's boring, this movie. So. It's so unbelievably boring. And you're supposed to be in the mind of the hooker the whole time and her struggle. And it's an hour and a half of watching people drink and have sex and party and it's not interesting. It's a party. I would have left. And then 45 minutes of like, them looking for a guy and then nothing. And then it ends. And you're supposed to be like, oh, blown away. She's going through a lot. I don't care. Was there any purpose to that Best picture? And I'm like, that's the best picture?

[Brett]

No, that's how it qualifies. If it leaves you, like, you're feeling, it got to you.

[John Holmberg]

Like, it sucked.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Really? The movie sucked?

[Brett]

That's how it seems that way. A lot of the best pictures, some.

[John Holmberg]

Of them I suppose occasionally, like years British one. I mean, they've had some like pictures that are monumental achievement type things that are not necessarily mainstream, but they're good. This wasn't even like a good story. There wasn't anything special about it.

[Brett]

I could have filming process or anything like that.

[John Holmberg]

No, it could have been done on a phone. Nothing.

[Brady]

Just do a dry phone.

[John Holmberg]

Yes. It's a lot of Russians. That's basically what it was. Yeah. Do it with your iPhone. I could have done this with my iPhone and people would have said, you're a pervert. Why do you keep filming this girl having sex? I'm like, I think it's. I think it's part of it.

[Brady]

Going for the best picture.

[John Holmberg]

I'm gonna go for the best picture. Not so long as she's a hooker. It's okay to show her getting railed because it's sad. I don't get it. But man, it was. And it made me just go. Now I get that's why Captain America has like 600 new villains. It's like this. People don't want to watch this crap. It's this or that. Give me the mindless, numbing dumb and we'll just show up to that. But if they want theaters to come back, they can't keep giving movies like that. Best picture. Nobody's going to the theater for this. 2 hours and 30 minutes. It was awful. And I usually. I don't like movies anymore. I've been off movies for about 10 or 15 years. I don't. They're all. I'm almost always disappointed. They're either too stupid or they try too hard to be this. And I was disappointed again. Now it's just terrible.

[Brady]

Not even beat material, huh? I mean, figure, you know, you think at first what you're describing it.

[John Holmberg]

I'm in at first, and she's pretty, but yeah, so it was strange. But I guess you can just do whatever now as long as you make people kind of feel weird.

[Brady]

Well, look how many times Fast and Furious has been putting stuff out, right?

[John Holmberg]

And they're all bad space now. People just show up because it's like, you know what? I don't like thinking too much. And I certainly don't want to watch some hooker get railed for two and a half hours and then have nothing happen at the end. I can watch that every day downtown. It's weird. But we're back. Happy St. Patty's Day. By the way. I think you're allowed to punch anybody who pinches you.

[Brady]

Or for now, you're not wearing green.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not wearing green. I mean, I look horrible in green. I'm not faking it. Brady's. You look horrible in green, too. Look at you.

[Brett]

That's why I have it half.

[John Holmberg]

You know, you have it covered up. You just have green showing. Not me. I went full gray today. Like, I'm a. I'm a.

[Brett]

Green shoes.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I don't have a green shoe. I think if anybody. Oh, that's adorable. That's an adorable grown up man. You're an adorable grown man.

[Brett]

I got my zips on.

[John Holmberg]

You can run faster and probably jump higher in those.

[Brett]

They light up.

[John Holmberg]

Those are adorable green shoes. Yeah, I just. If anybody pinches you, you can punch them. And if anyone says top of the morning too, you can pinch them.

[Brady]

You're not going out for corned beef.

[John Holmberg]

And that's the other thing. There's. You know what? We give Mexicans enough trouble about the tamales. Time to tell Irish people that go selves on their cuisine. Your food's horrible. Your corned beef and cabbage is awful. And again, back to the same exact theory I have about tamales. If it was so good, it would be offered in restaurants regularly. If it was so delicious, people would want it on days other than St. Patrick's Day. It is horrible. You ever walk into somebody's house, who's cooking it? It's like one of those. When you have, like, Indian neighbors, it's like, oh, your house smells like bad stu. My friend was Vietnamese in high school and we go to his house. We hated going inside because I always. It smelled like dirt and bad soup because their food stinks. Irish people, your food is awful.

[Brett]

What are people googling, you know, to basically turn food green more than anything. But in Arizona, green spaghetti.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Because the spaghetti's good.

[Brady]

Communists, pesto.

[Brett]

Pea soup. In Maine, green eggs In Indiana.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady]

Deviled eggs.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I walked into my old girlfriend's house years ago. She's Irish. We're having our Irish meal. I didn't even know this was a thing. I was like 20. I'm like, people do this. It's like, there's Irish food. She goes, yeah, it was corned beef and cabbage and Ronnie's making Guinness stew. That's probably gross, but okay. It sounds thick. It sounds very. My stomach hurts thinking about that.

[Brett]

You know, corned beef or it's just.

[John Holmberg]

Got meat and beer.

[Brett]

Stew meat and.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you know what? That's weird.

[Brett]

Guinness beef broth.

[John Holmberg]

I guess if you're potatoes. That's a lot. That's a heavy meal. But I went into her house, and I said, all right. I walked right in the first St. Patrick's Day. Opened the door. I'm like, okay, everyone out. Like, what's going on? I'm like, everyone out. Like, what's wrong? You guys must not smell it. There's a horrible gas leak in here. This is horrible. This place about to blow. Because that's the cabbage. Oh, it's. The whole house stunk. And what was worse was I hugged her mom.

[Brett]

Hi.

[John Holmberg]

I think it was. It was probably the first time I'd ever spent time with her family. And I had already tried to remove everybody from the house from the terrible leak. And I hugged her mom, and she smelled exactly like the steam that was coming off of her stove, which was gross.

[Brett]

Just get your shamrock shake and call it.

[John Holmberg]

There you go. That's fine. Have a shamrock shake. Eat a thin mint cookie, and stop cooking that stuff and acting like it's good. Ugh. Ugh. And I'd put that stuff. Not so much. The corned beef. That by itself is okay. You add in that muck. Straight cabbage straight out of the garbage disposal, plopped onto the yuck. And the stink. I'd put tamales ahead of that Irish. Yeah, I can. I can choke down a tamale.

[Brady]

I like the corned beef part.

[John Holmberg]

I can't eat that muck cabbage that they try to. And then they try to flavor it.

[Brett]

And carrots and cabbage.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's everything you're against. I don't know why you'd even think about it. Like, I've seen you protest carrots and cabbage. He's got signs in his car just in case Brady yells at rabbits. You're doing it wrong.

[Brady]

Put it down, you son of a bitch.

[Brett]

Put that down.

[John Holmberg]

You're gonna kill yourself. Carrot. Stupid rabbit. So, Irish people, your food's brutal. Awful. Enjoy your. Your gasoline stew tonight.

[Brett]

On the way home from the party last night, Ronnie's like, could you stop by the store? I need a Guinness.

[John Holmberg]

Right?

[Brett]

So I went to the Safeway. Sold out.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but.

[Brett]

And I asked the person. She went back and she found one four pack left. But the not only sold out, the doors were ripped off of the freezer. You know, the refrigeration.

[Brady]

You don't mess with an Irishman.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. They'll tell the doors down. If there's only one four pack, there's nothing left. Going to get to this for the rest of them. Show up. Tear the doors down, boys. If you get the doors off, you can't keep it cool. But I'm not even interested in being cool. They probably thought why? To keep it in a refrigerator for. Because the Irish are wrong about that too. They get these out of here. Free this Guinness from being cold. Who enjoys a cold Guinness? Absolutely no one.

[Brett]

Every grocery store, you know you walk in has the big three up there. Guinness. Bailey.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Jameson. Yeah, go with the Jameson. That's good. But you'll drink that during the year. I don't need it. Don't turn my beer green. It's dumb. Don't. Don't even try to sell me that corned beef. In camp it was so good. You guys would have it in June. Peeps, tamales, cranberries, corned beef. All of them are one day a year choke downs. And we act like we like them. We don't. Every Irishman that's got. Look at our. Look at the business we do on our St. Patty's Day in the corned beef cabbage. We should probably start a restaurant. Call it Corned beef and cabbage. 365. And it would be empty every day.

[Brett]

Except one.

[John Holmberg]

Except one. And maybe some weird Irish wedding. Some gypsies come by and steal some salt shakers or something. It's just. It's not normal. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? And kick off this Monday proper. 585-9800 I know what's coming. It's 98 KUPD. Wake up.

[Brett]

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

[John Holmberg]

I've heard enough of this.
