Introduction to Rock Wars Segment

In this lively episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness (HMS) on Arizona's #1 Morning Radio Show, host John Holmberg, along with co-hosts Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo, dive into their popular segment, Rock Wars. This week's theme centers around creating a perfect "Drunk Brady" song—a musical tribute for those moments when they need a slightly inebriated perspective.

Setting the Stage for Rock Wars

At the 5:49 mark, Brady introduces the Rock Wars competition, highlighting its role in determining the ultimate song choice for their Drunk Brady persona. This segment is designed to showcase the hosts' musical tastes while injecting humor and friendly competition into the mix.

Song Selection and Creative Process

Richard kicks off the competition by sharing his choice: "The minute the line hits, you'll know." He humorously encourages Dick Toledo to present his pick, leading to a playful exchange filled with banter and light-hearted teasing. However, Toledo's attempt to introduce his song, "Get if you like peanuts," doesn't quite resonate with the other hosts, resulting in mutual amusement and a decision to revisit the song selection in future episodes.

Brett enters the fray with a selection from Southern rock legend Leonard Skinner's "Don't Ask Me Questions." Despite his enthusiasm, both Richard and Brady admit to being unfamiliar with the track, further adding to the comedic atmosphere. Brett then proposes "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen, reminiscing about drunk frat guys singing it—a nod to Brady's college days. However, this choice also falls flat as Richard confesses, "I've never heard Brady, so it could go off the rails."

Humorous Missteps and Friendly Competition

The hosts' attempts to select the perfect Drunk Brady song result in a series of humorous missteps. At [09:05], Richard exclaims, "We both got Toledoed. Damn it. It's a draw." This candid moment underscores the show's playful competitiveness and the camaraderie among the hosts. They agree to declare the round a tie, promising to refine their approach in the next Rock Wars installment.

Conclusion and Future Outlook

As the segment wraps up around [11:04], the hosts commend Toledo for his editing skills in portraying Drunk Brady, despite the challenges faced during the song selection. They celebrate the spirit of collaboration and tease the upcoming episodes where they'll continue to explore musical supremacy through Rock Wars.

Additional Highlights

• Comedy Recommendations: Between [04:44] and [12:02], the hosts share their favorite local comedy events, promoting shows like Leo Gonzalez at the Desert Ridge Improv and Gary Owen at Stand Up Live Downtown. These recommendations provide listeners with entertainment options beyond the radio show.

• Fishing Anecdote: Dick Toledo shares a personal story about his first fishing experience in Arizona, emphasizing the state's hidden gems and encouraging listeners to explore outdoor activities. He remarks, "Grabbing a fishing license that weekend was the passport that opened up the whole state to me" ([12:02]).

[Brady]

Do them, Brady.

[Richard]

Timing, timing. You're up, Brady. Can't be any worse than that crushing blow.

[Brett]

Well, I went with some drunk Southern rockers. Because you're asking me questions. I go with Leonard Skynyr. Don't ask me questions.

[Richard]

I don't mean. I don't think he does either. That's the first time you ever heard this song? No.

[Brady]

Give us a line.

[Brett]

Yeah, you gotta sing along, because I don't wanna lie. That's the chorus, so don't ask.

[Richard]

All right. I feel like I'm watching Mama's Family. All right. I've never heard that.

[Brett]

Basically talking about.

[Richard]

You're the king of thinking that the B side was the side you were supposed to Listen to. You bought 45s and listened to the wrong one and thought that was the hit. I've. Have you heard that? I've never heard.

[Brady]

I've never heard that one.

[Richard]

Me neither. All right, Brett, you're up.

[Brady]

All right, Tits.

[Richard]

It is not.

[Brady]

All right. First time I heard this song, it was a bunch of drunk frat guys singing it. Which basically goes with Brady in his college days as well. And nobody knows the real lyrics of the song. It's Louie Louie from the Kingsman.

[Richard]

Oh, yeah. This might be the one.

[Brady]

And that's not it.

[Richard]

Then I got Toledoed. Perfect.

[Dick Toledo]

It's playing.

[Richard]

So was the other thing.

[Brady]

It sounds like Brady talking too.

[Richard]

Yeah. Incoherent kind of strangeness. Let's Let drunk Brady try to explain the story. All right. Louie Louie. There it is. Well, Toledo just. I almost want to do another one. Almost would have just scrapped this one.

[Brady]

We just calling it this week and try next week.

[Richard]

You know what? It's a three way tie. Yeah.

[Brett]

All right.

[Richard]

In Toledo, isms trounced. I can't believe. I don't think you played Brady's song. That did. Yeah. That's the only one you got right. And nobody thinks that's right. Never heard of that song in my life. We both got Toledoed. Damn it. It's a draw. It's a draw. We'll try again next week. We'll try next week. Sorry about that, folks. We'll edit this out later. I had to probably go on with Louie Louie. I've never heard Brady, so it could go off the rails. I don't know. So I'm gonna. You and I are 1 and 1A on that to me. And then there's Brady staying.

[Brett]

It's gonna dive into some Skinner sometimes.

[Richard]

No, you too, by the way. You also dive in anyway. Yeah, that was not a big hit. That's not a well known song. It didn't stand the test of time, that's for sure. Because no one's ever heard it. Yeah, we'll just scrap it.

[Brady]

Good.

[Richard]

Thanks, Mo. Money pong brings you around for it.

[Brady]

We're sorry moment.

[Richard]

Try another one. We'll try another one. Distracted by Toledo banging his head into the wall. He does one good thing. Remember this, though. One good thing of editing. And we've basically tapped him out. Like when a video game character gets down to his last little bits of energy and he can't work as good. Toledo did drunk Brady today and he did a great job.

[Dick Toledo]

Need a stim pack.

[Richard]

And then. And then. Then it's. And you gotta give him a juice. Gotta have a cheat code or Toledo's gonna screw up the next thing. And that's exactly what happened. Anyway, congratulations to all of you. We'll see you next week with rockwish entertainment drills. Coming up next, Toledo. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. 98.
