• Support Systems:
  The lack of a robust support system post-transition is emphasized as a critical factor leading to the woman's regret and mental health struggles. John notes, "She said... I didn't have any male support system or a female support system. I didn't have anybody." [17:26]

• Gender Identity Discourse:
  The hosts engage in a broader conversation about gender identity, questioning the validity and permanence of transition decisions. John muses, "Quit cutting your dick off," reflecting skepticism towards gender reassignment as a solution to deeper psychological issues. [35:57]

Notable Quotes:

• John Holmberg: "She realized it was because of a lot of childhood rape that I never really dealt with." [17:01]

Still streaming Homburg's morning sickness [e-mail] Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Thursday very special. The Easter Bunny's getting loose. It's warming up in the pen.

It's the very first of my little Easter bunnies that'll be out today and just short order here. You're going to head on out to Action Ride shop this morning. Be there about seven o' clock. The one up on power and McDowell, the new one. Beautiful, beautiful place.

[Brett]

Check this place out.

[John Holmberg]

It's great. People are going to leave with a bike today. You're not going in there and not leaving with something. So many great things inside. Plus you're so close to the trail. Just hop off and ride over.

[Brett]

Buy a bike and ride right on over, you know, right there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but or maybe right off and have a keg on your in your car worth five grand. Brett will have the very first Easter keg for Easter keg, the hunt that is going on tomorrow morning. Brett is the very first one. He's got it all locked up ready to go for today. And somebody asked me yesterday, how many years have you guys Done this. And I'm like, we gotta be 20. I don't know when we started this.

[Toledo]

That's what My guess was.

[Brett]

5 or 6, 2000, saying the book of 100%.

[John Holmberg]

They do a lot of that annual thing, but then they skip the year that we didn't do it.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Because 20, 20, we didn't do it. And then. Yeah, it's just. I don't know. Did we did it in 21?

[Brett]

Yeah, we did.

[John Holmberg]

We did. Yeah. We came back Mavericks and everybody was masked. Oh, that's right. Also, I had Covid. I didn't know it yet. My doctor told me it was allergies and I took allergy pills. I did not test positive once. Went to the. That's right, in 2021. I was so sick. And I'm like, it's just this. Allergies are killing me. And then two days later, I tested positive for Covid. It was terrifying. But that was when everybody was kind of like, ah, we were all done with it. By Zen. Year earlier, I'd have been lit on fire in the desert saying, ah, we got to get rid of him. He's patient zero. Year later, I'm like, I'm dying. Like, test negative neg. Can't breathe. Yeah, you're fine. Nobody cares anymore. And that's what it was. Oh, yeah, that's right. We did it in 21. Sorry about that. To anybody. I. I pushed that on, but.

[Brett]

Or I'm not.

[John Holmberg]

Made it a super spreader. Haven't heard from you since. But at the time, I didn't have Covid because the test said I didn't. So that's how it used to work. Kids remember when that was the way it was, back in the days of COVID back in my day. Stuff that thing in your nose like, no, I'm fine. I just feel like crap.

[Toledo]

Secret meetings to go get tested.

[John Holmberg]

Tons. Joel's ridiculous. Any. We're ready to go this year. No. No massive fear based pandemic gonna get us. Or just go out to Mavericks and get spit on and shake hands with dirty people the old fashioned way and walk away with some sort of head cold. Perfect. It's a beautiful thing, but we're ready to go with this thing. And today Brett's got his clues. We talked about him yesterday. You got your stuff ready to go? Yeah, sure. You have your code ready to go? I have a code. Well, we had clues. We had clues yesterday. They were pretty good ones.

[Brett]

They weren't bad.

[John Holmberg]

And I think, you know, subject to change. Subject to Change for sure. Nothing is in cement. And you know, before he leaves, we will discuss those clues. But at 7 o' clock, he'll give you clues on how to unlock the bike chain that is tied to the keg that could be worth $5,000. Also could be worth nothing. Is this one of Josh's $500 ones too? I was not told that I don't know any of this. So we'll find out all that later. Our old buddy Drew used to work here at my part of the Black Jeep Club and the White Jeep Club. When we had our, our Jeeps, we would take the white jeeps way out into the desert together and big boy pants on. That's right. Oddly enough, I stumbled across some of some pictures of the very first time I went out off roading with Drew yesterday morning. And just looking, I'm like, God, that was 11 years ago. It kind of blew my mind. And then haven't spoken to him forever. He texts me holding the keg. He's out and about on a trail somewhere out there with his. Jack did it again. So Drew's like, had to get back in on this and hide one of these bad bo. He stuffed it out into the, the off road in areas that we've caged. And I don't know this because I didn't ask most of the time. For all you off road people, that keg is hidden in the, I guess the Terminator and the Schwarzenegger trails that are out there off the Table Mesa Road out in Table Mesa area. And he does a good job of hiding. I got the picture of it. I don't know where it is now. He's also gone to Sunflower, so I don't think he went that far this year. And is it Box Canyon or I don't know which mine one he goes, he goes to a lot of them. But off road people, you'll know that that one I think is already out there. So if you've got today or tomorrow, you can do it. I've talked to several people who have taken the day off again tomorrow if they didn't already have the day to take. So good luck to Ali. I'm proud of you for even getting involved. Be safe, be easy. First one's out the door this morning at Action ride shop on McDowell and Power. And for those of you going, what the hell is going on? We hide 98 kegs throughout the valley on Good Friday, two days prior to Easter. You guys hunt those kegs, bring them to our party at Four Peaks tomorrow. At the tasting room tomorrow night might rain a little bit for the tasting room times, which is great. Get a little mist. And then there we sit, and we wait for all the kegs to get redeemed. We have that just random number drawing. You get a number when you. When you bring your keg back. We give you a ticket, and then.

[Toledo]

We just get a mini keg.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you get a little baby keg, and then we give you that ticket. All 98 people who get a keg bring back. They get a ticket, and we reach into the bowl, find out which one's worth five grand. It's pretty awesome because everybody who has a keg has a chance. There isn't one special keg. We find out, literally, when my hand comes out of that jar and says, here's the winning keg, and I read off the usually six numbers and watch people fall off one number at a time.

[Toledo]

And 10 more worth 500.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You got the action ride shop kegs. It'll be worth 500 each. So you can walk out with 5500 bucks for one keg. If you hit. If you bump it twice, that's pretty great.

[Brett]

Has anybody done that yet?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Has it been a double?

[John Holmberg]

I think it was double doink two years ago, something like that. Maybe two. I don't remember. But they got 500. And actually, it wasn't the same keg. They were a double kegs. They found a couple, which I always. Oh, that lady I met at the suns game at the rah rah room the other night. Joel and her and her friend John. And she said, I have hunted the entire time. I've never found one. And I'm like, man, it's a couple. I went.

[Toledo]

It was 10. 10 years. And they go, I always take the day off. We love it. No matter what.

[John Holmberg]

It seems like you'd stumble into one, doesn't it?

[Toledo]

Well, and. And they all. Well, the ones that I've heard are always saying, we get there, and we see the person coming out with it.

[John Holmberg]

Somebody else has it. They're. They're a step.

[Toledo]

They're that close.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Well, that's it. So we're ready to go? Almost. Almost here. 24 hours. So Brett will have it out there. We'll kick it off this morning. Can't wait. But again, kick it off or otherwise, you could win today. You could win if the desert. You know, if you want to take your razor out there, there's two. Technically, there's one out there right now. So we can say it officially starts Tomorrow. But if you're out in the desert dicking around and you're all free, you might stumble across one today. Nobody says, you know, read the rules. We don't care about this. I know. The bombs will be upset. The lawyer can't do this. The lawyers. Isn't that dangerous for someone to go outside and breathe earth's air? What if they got some sort of carcinogen from a power line that you drove under and you put a keg by? Do we think about these things? I think I speak for everybody. Lawyer Bob's from our company, but shut the up. We're having fun. Do you ever consider people picking one of those kegs up and their arms just falling off and us getting sued? No. No one's ever considered that but you. Because you're the wettest blanket of all time. So go yourself and move on. The Bobs have tried to ruin this.

[Toledo]

And it hasn't happened in a while. But if you're trying to turn in a fake keg, you're gonna need a placard.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

And you know the best? You can Try to design something that way.

[John Holmberg]

No one's ever gotten away with it. We changed you. Learn what? The placard looks like that. Now, if you found one, you could probably replicate the placard. But we know nobody's done a good job of. Of trying to dupe us.

[Toledo]

And you gotta have both.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

You can't come in with a placard.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You can't just have a. The placard and no keg and. Yeah, we. We've got that figured.

[Brett]

I want to say, last year they actually had stamps on there. They were notarized, like the notary stamp on there.

[John Holmberg]

So got a little. Yeah, we got a little extras. We do every time. But you can't. You can figure it out. But you'd have to find one. It's already. You've already hunted for one. Just take the one you got. Quit being a dick. Again, going back to yesterday's topic. Quit being a dick. You get it. If you try to get away with one, I'm more than proud. But if you. You know, if you don't get away with it. Don't be a dick. Don't start screaming. I want to talk. I never want to. I want to see a manager. No, you're not seeing a manager. We'll send you the Bob's, the lawyers. They bore you to tears, but that's it. I didn't know this Haley Joel Osment was arrested for skiing drunk. You can't ski drunk.

[Toledo]

Well, he. I heard he went into the bar at the ski lodge.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

And. But yeah, you. They. They can kick you off the hill.

[John Holmberg]

Sure. If you're belligerent, you can kick that doing anything.

[Toledo]

That's what was happening, I guess, behavior.

[John Holmberg]

He was just.

[Toledo]

And then they found another controlled substance that they're testing.

[John Holmberg]

That's after. Yeah, but I mean, they kind of made it clear, like, you can't. If he was on the slopes drunk, we got him and we got him out of there. And you can get a. You can get in trouble for that and not just kicked off. You can get in trouble for that.

[Toledo]

Because this. This weekend or this past weekend and the weekend before, I think we're the last weekends of ski places. And traditionally, the last weekend is a complete party. They close it up.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

And they put costumes on, go down the hill.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. They go crazy. And I had seen yesterday that they said that Haley Joel Osmit was identified as an unruly skier.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And then they go out and they're like. They don't just kick you off for being an unruly skier. If you're drunk, it's like drunk driving. You're getting. You're getting.

[Toledo]

You can get a deal.

[John Holmberg]

You get arrested. He got arrested. And that's. Yeah, I didn't know that. And that's why they found. They found the substances on him, is because he was going to jail for being an unruly. I thought you'd just Being an asshole. You know, you get kicked off the slopes, you're banned from Mammoth, you know, you can never go.

[Toledo]

You know, they also said why he, you know, he's acting that way is because he lost everything. Fire. And he was. And evidently the house that he lost, the insurance, he got denied on it.

[John Holmberg]

Hold on. He's dead broke or something? Yeah. And he's skiing at Mammoth Lake. I don't believe that. I don't think. I don't think you go. I don't think you hit the resort skiing on the last day of party time.

[Toledo]

Said on the last part. Oh yeah. What he's been going through.

[John Holmberg]

I mean maybe going through some stuff. But the more importantly, I don't care about him as much as as I I didn't know. You can't get drunk and ski without running the risk of going to jail for it. And I know he's. I guess it is kind of a dangerous thing. They didn't consider it.

[Toledo]

Like think about it how dangerous it is. Oh sure.

[John Holmberg]

But I think of all the dangerous things you do when you're drunk. There's everything you do drunk is dangerous.

[Brett]

Yeah. Big broads at 2am that's what I was gonna say.

[John Holmberg]

Think of the ladies that you've climbed. Like you think skiing down the Mammoth. The Word. Mammoth is involved in drunk a lot. I thought the same thing. It's. Man, oh, man. That. If. That should be illegal. Texting drunk should be illegal if we're gonna go down that road. But yeah, so, you know, it's not like he's controlling a motor vehicle, but skis are evidently gotta not do that. I didn't know that's the only reason I'd want to go skiing. I'm not up there for the sport of it all. I want to go have a party, drink. We. I don't know. Just wasn't like mountain biking.

[Toledo]

This is the.

[John Holmberg]

That's how you're operating a vehicle. It's kind of stupid on your own, but the only person you're really going to hurt there is you.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

So go nuts.

[Toledo]

And this is second time he's been.

[John Holmberg]

Popped for skiing drunk.

[Toledo]

No, the first one was in his car. 2006.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's not him getting pop. That's different. Those are two wildly different things to me. You're drinking and driving is totally necessary to be against the law. Drinking and skiing, it's like saying you can't drink in Vegas. The whole point. I. I've never met anybody that said, all right, no drinking. We're going skiing. Everybody lock it down. Right. The whole reason you go skiing is for the party. They have that lodge filled with drinking.

[Toledo]

Yeah, but I think they want to. Most of those people do it afterwards.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, so what? Ganja. You even said the things in Canada. Yeah, they have. They ride the ganja. They're smoking. Smoking. Weedle, skiing.

[Toledo]

They call them sports sticks.

[John Holmberg]

It's snow surfing. You're. You're high or drunk doing it. That's the fun part.

[Brett]

That's what Katie KB calls them too.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Sports sticks. Sports sticks. It's hard to say it and not sound like you're saying it. They like to suck a sports stick. KDKB guys like to suck sports sticks. Yeah. I can't say it sound twister for you. I make it sound like it's not hot. But all we're saying is they smoke weed. A man @ Katie KB was in the parking lot sucking hard on a sports stick. Yeah, it sounds dirty every time.

[Brett]

Our cop buddy said he was probably refused to leave and so they probably arrested him for trespassing or disorderly.

[John Holmberg]

We got public intoxication and, like, behavior was bad. Yeah, he probably was being a dick. But they, you know, they were. Evidently, it's frowned upon. And I'm like, that's like football games. Saying you're too drunk at a football game. It's like all you do is advertise beer. Here. This is your fault.

[Toledo]

Sources noted that he was among the many who lost everything in the Eaton fire.

[John Holmberg]

So they went up and had a big ski party. Because they have no homes or because they're blow off some steam. Their Sixth sense house got burned down.

[Brett]

Better call M. Night, Shamalima, Ding Dong and get a remake.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I still see dead people.

[Brett]

Look at him now. He looks like a TV lawyer.

[John Holmberg]

I'm convinced that Haley Joel Osment and Kelly Clarkson are the same person.

[Brett]

Wow.

[John Holmberg]

I'm nearly. I believe they are the same. I never see them together. And he loses weight, Kelly loses weight. He gains weight, Kelly gains weight. They're almost always about the same size. It's a thing. And their face. All it is is a beard difference. You put a big wig on him, you got yourself a Kelly Clarkson.

[Toledo]

Maybe it's like a Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but they don't have to hide it. I don't know why these two are hiding it. That's Haley Joel Osment in makeup you're pulling from a picture. It's the same person. Same little beady eyes. Look, they're all. They're the same size. Always the same size. I still think Elijah Wood and Katy Perry are the same person. That's Kelly Clarkson. I'm onto something here. And Kelly's gone through an awful lot lately. I could see her, you know, hopping up that mountain and putting a few down and trying to ski back down. Yeah. I don't get it, but. Yeah, I didn't know. I know you can be. I know you can be drunk and skiing, but if you get caught. I didn't know you'd go to jail. That's what this Dillon guy says. The only reason you go to the mountain. We pretend we enjoy the sport, but really you just want to get really high and drunk in the. Yeah, it's fun. I've never met someone who likes skiing, who's a fun person who goes up there and just tries to stay sober.

[Toledo]

You have to be doing something, I would think to. To be caught. Fact of the matter is how many people are right back drinking. So you have to be doing something stupid.

[John Holmberg]

You have to go so far out of your way. Like, I didn't know if, like, Liam Neeson's wife smashed into that tree. They didn't do a toxicology report and say she was drunk skiing. Right.

[Toledo]

Sonny Bono.

[John Holmberg]

Sonny Bono probably had a couple in him. Sonny smoked Weed. Anyway, he sees dead people now in the trees. It's very odd.

[Brett]

Sees his dead career.

[John Holmberg]

I just got a text from my buddy Doug, not Hopkins, who Sundays, I ski four times a year, every year, and I am never less than hammered on the hill. You have to be. It's the. After a couple of trips, you're like, all right, this is boring. Unless we do something special. First time I went skiing, very first time I went skiing, I broke both my ankles snowboarding. And I got drunk on the way. We did like, we were probably right around the Sedona exit when I started to feel pretty loose. Got up to Flagstaff, hopped on. I'd never gone before. I'm on the bunny hill with, like, six kids, and I'm like, I can do this. And my buddy Joe tells me the only way to learn this is to get to the hardest one and fall down the whole time. You'll figure it out. And he wasn't wrong. And I got down there. It took me about an hour and a half because I was just face planting the entire time down the. The diamond. The bad one. It was. It was steep, it was a little scary, and I just smashed myself in the face. I probably pissed everyone off, but I was drunk, too. That didn't help. And then I got to the bottom. I'm like, yeah, I went back up to the top, buried the snowboard into the snow, and rolled and board didn't. My ankles went click, click. Lost them both. Then we laughed. I drove home with two busted ankles. Could barely move my foot. I don't know. Yeah, we sobered up in that lodge thing or whatever that is up there, and just kind of sober lodge, two gigantic puffy ankles. I'm like, we can go. I'm good. We're good. That's what skiing is anyway. The whole reason the lodge stays open. You ever met a skier that seems like I've never met? Yeah, I've never. Or that, you know, has weed on them. There isn't one person I've ever met that skis. It doesn't look like the dude. And if they don't, I don't want to hang out with them because then they're those corporate weirdos that takes their whole family up there and wrecks it for everyone. Want to take the kids up and go skiing? Oh, oh, the whole family's up there. How Mormon of you. I did watch something awesome. Yeah. You know, nobody wants to see that little kid skiing better than you. And I watched a show yesterday about a lady who. Oh, wait, She's a lady. She was a lady. So when she was. She was living the life, she felt like she was a. Like she always felt. Wait, was she man. She was a woman, but always felt like she was attracted to women, but didn't think she was a lesbian and couldn't figure out what was going on in their brain. So she heard a few years ago, like this trans thing started to appeal to her. She's like, I think that's me. I think that's what. So she gets into it. She does the whole thing, gets her boobs cut off, has a hysterectomy, goes the full nine. Right into being a woman. Right whole deal. And then. Or right into being a man. Being a man. It's very confusing. So as a man starts to realize, nah, about five years in, nah, this ain't right either. And that is, I'm not this either. So it goes back to the doctor and the doctor's like, well, a lot of the times it's that. So evidently there's this like, like seven year rule. I've heard this before. This, that after people have the surgery, seven years later, there's massive regrets and big time problems in this community and they have like a huge suicide rate after the. This is me making this up. This is something I saw last night and I got the article in front of me because I looked her up too. After about six, seven years, they're like, eh, I'm not gonna do this anymore. And they go. And she said the biggest thing I had was I got this hysterectomy. But I realized that it was because of a lot of childhood rape that I never really dealt with. That caused me to be like, holy cow, we didn't start the documentary there. You made me sit for 45 minutes watching you go back and forth, oh, I'm a man, I'm a woman, I'm a man. And actually doing surgeries to do it. And then at the end you're like, I probably should have dealt with all that childhood rape and stuff. Like, yeah. And that one doctor on the show was responsible enough to say, here's dumbass John in the middle of the afternoon looking at the tv, going, I'm the smartest one in this documentary. And I'm just watching it. You didn't ask her at first. Like, before we do all this, you don't have any trauma or anything we need to get rid of before we start lopping off your genitals. Don't worry about it. Just, you know, start carving me up and they tried to make it, like, touching. And then I looked at the date. 2022, right in the height of when nobody asked questions and nobody did anything smart. Like, that's the good thing about today. Like, right now, if they made that document, it would have been about, wow, who dropped the ball here? Like, this person should have had this done. And then they started to have, like, pictures of other people who had been through the same thing at the end of the deal. And I'm like, you pricks didn't ask one question. You just started cutting. And I'm like, this is a better world now. And it goes back to what I was talking about the other day. Judge immediately. Doctors, your job is to look at somebody that says, I want all my genitals cut off and think, all right, my first. My first reaction here is, you've gone crazy. Oh, yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna say you've gone crazy until you prove you have not. That's the new medical standard. You can't walk in and get empathy anymore. When you want to cut your genitals off or carve out your insides because you got feelings, we'll deal with that. But first and foremost, let's just. Let's just assume you've gone crazy, and then we'll pull back from there.

[John Holmberg]

Holmberg's Morning Sickness, because going crazy is sometimes what it was. But then I'm supposed to feel bad at the end, and I'm like, man, these doctors are getting away with it because they just take thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars from people and never say, yeah, I want to be a lady.

[Toledo]

You got it.

[John Holmberg]

You got it. Lay down. I can make that happen. The easiest way to do that is to lob this dick and balls off and just kind of, you know, butter knife in a little paper cut here. Hey, I'm all done. Thanks. As a woman, so the big thing was, like, for a little bit, I thought this whole thing was going to be about life as a woman and life as a man. And that was her struggle, because she says, as a woman, she was blown away. And this is. This was what I kind of beamed with pride at. Blown away at, like, when there was a problem, all these other women were there for her. And it seemed to make the problem worse because you'd never dealt with it. You talked about it the whole time, and I'm like, finally, what it takes for a woman to understand how to be logical and rational is to be a man for a little bit bit. And so when she said I was a man, people just looked at me and said, you got problems, solve them. Because there was nobody there. There was no support system. It was up to you. You had to go out and be, you know, the pressure to just be like, hey, everybody's got problems. Get your ass up, get to work, and get through this was the male. The woman had a problem. It was like, let's go sit down. Let's talk this out. Let's make this mole hill a mountain. And she goes. And it was. It was actually very nice. I liked it. Women supported me and everything else, but when I was a man, I just had to go from A to B, no matter what I was going through. I'm like, yeah, that's right. She said, and I had gone so far into my transition that I didn't have a male support system or a female support system. I didn't have anybody. And then she revealed that she was a pin cushion for, like, her uncles and stuff for years. Like, well, there's your issue. But I liked it because basically, two years ago, this documentary gets made, and everybody's like, oh, what a poor. And then now it gets made and everybody looks and goes, well, you were crazy. You're supposed to be told you're crazy before you cut your balls off. And that's logic. So in a way, I felt like we've made progress by saying, oh, you're insane first. And that is the job of all of us. Judge a book by its cover initially, and then maybe you read the book and find out, ah, the cover's wrong.

[Brett]

Judge first, ask questions later.

[John Holmberg]

I've never understood that phrase. Don't judge a book by its cover. Do you know much money is invested in cover artwork for books? To make you like to find the book appealing, you're supposed to judge it by its cover. The COVID is the sell. It's like saying, don't judge a movie by its poster. If the poster has some stuff on it, you're like, what's this? It's the first impression. So of course you're supposed to judge a book by its cover.

[Brett]

Let's do that with the CDs back in the day too, of course, Journey. A lot of terrible ones I bought.

[John Holmberg]

Wow, look at this. The reason I didn't like Journey is because of that weird, stupid artwork they put on the front. I'm like, these guys are full of themselves. And then I'm like, man, their music's really good. I judged them by the COVID of their albums, and I still think that's sloppy and weird. But the music kind of, you know, was wrong.

[Toledo]

That's why it works both ways.

[John Holmberg]

What do you mean?

[Toledo]

The cover's very appealing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's the point. Yeah, but supposed to draw your eye and either appeal to you or Green Jello. Remember that mess? Oh, I think these guys suck. It was exactly what they were. Some random fever dream of a guy who can draw a little bit. Splashed it all over. I'm like, no. And then you listen to the record goes, this cover couldn't have been more dead accurate. Of course you're supposed to judge a book by its cover. That's what the cover's for. Otherwise they wouldn't make them. There's the green jello one. I remember looking at that and I'm like, I'm not owning this. They had that one song, it kind of started to pop. And I remember, you know, you'd make your Tuesday. Yeah, you make your Tuesday trip over to Tower to see what's out. And that was there. And I'm like, eh, I wonder if the rest of this is any good. And I picked up the cd, that's the first one. Like, yuck. Yeah, it's just. It's. You know what? It's the artwork of the dude that sat next to you in social studies. That was nuts. And he'd. His whole folder was covered in the. And you're like, jesus Christ, this guy's a serial killer.

[Brett]

Look at my Trapper Keeper, bro.

[John Holmberg]

Right? It just. Yeah. We have a motorcycle leaping a pig in a trough of. And I'm like, oh God, you're one of those. But yeah, of course you're supposed to judge a book by its cover. And if it's crazy, if the cover's crazy, anticipate that inside that book's gonna be some crazy. And that's the same as people. And I love it. I wanna redo that whole documentary 2025 style and basically say, this is what we'd have done now. And she comes in. I felt like I was a man then I was a woman, then I was a man. I was like, okay, cuckoo. You went nuts. Right? So did you deal with anything being nuts after I cut my dick and balls off? I. Yep, double nuts. You like the sports stick, don't you? Damn it, you guys. It was. It was interesting though.

[Toledo]

Sometimes people are. I mean, like when you're thinking that way of what. What happened. Like you said she was treated like a pin cushion. Relatives.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

When you think that way sometimes or that crosses your mind how to. About a person.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

You're like, oh, how, How. How dare you.

[John Holmberg]

What do you mean say that?

[Toledo]

Like wondering, well, what happened? What. What is making.

[John Holmberg]

Oh. To ask them why they're crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Because that's something they got to do.

[Toledo]

It's not asking, you know, it's trying to dig and find that out.

[John Holmberg]

You can't find out why someone's crazy if they're not admitting they're crazy because they're hiding that. That's the job of the doctor with the knife before he cuts your balls off to say, before I do this, I got a couple questions. Questions. And then you kind of find out. And by the way, she's still crazy because the thing that fixed it was God. Like she. So she found religion and stuff. She said, now I know God created me. Created me Beautiful. Like you tried to change all that twice. Like you, you took a. A GTO and you put like Nova parts on it and like a door from a.

[Toledo]

Turn it into a Pinto.

[John Holmberg]

And then, and then you put a. Like a weird hatchback from an SR5. And then you're like, this isn't right. I'm like, yeah, that's not right. It was. It was fine before. I don't know. I'm gonna put it all back together. No, you can't. God will let me do it. It's God's car. It's his job. Like, you've made it. You've made a mess of things, and now it's God's fault. Don't blame God for this. I'm not. I'm an atheist. And I'm like, hey, hey, hey, hey. I'm on God's side here. He did. Look, he built that car. You can't take it back to Ford now.

[Toledo]

I'm an F150. I want to go back to being a Miata, right?

[John Holmberg]

You mean. Yeah. You can't go back to God and go, hey, your creation that I screwed. I messed. I need you to help out. And, like, Nah, that's another thing, Brady. Your God needs to be more of a Naga. Nah, I'm done with you. I want him to be more like Brett. I'm done with you. I gave you a perfectly good vagina and penis or whatever the hell you used to have, and then. And then I allowed you to carve it off once, two times. Fool me once. I'm done here. I'm done here. This is my friend Mephistopheles. You're dealing with this guy now. You'll see him in the basement office. It's ridiculous, but it was a great documentary. Especially when I looked at the date at the end, and I'm like, oh, man, were we on a weird path three years ago. So strange, you know? And I hope she's all right now. But it took getting rid of all that trauma to make sure she was okay. Quit cutting your dick off.

[Toledo]

My sister has a friend, and their kid did the transition, chopping it all off and that similar deal, the five.

[John Holmberg]

Years or whatever, starting to switch back.

[Toledo]

Once, wants to reverse it.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not saying it isn't real. I believe very. Yeah, wholeheartedly. It's very real that there are people who deal with. But I think we've made it such a. If you have some questions about yourself, why not go down that road for a little bit? And that used to be the road you didn't go down until it was like, only. Only serious. Like, truly serious. People started to say, I think I might be the other one. The ones that were going through it are, like, real. The ones now it's just like, ah, I'm a little uncomfortable in my own skin. Maybe I just lobbed my dick off like no. And that lady's a cautionary tale. But then they started flashing pictures up like it was my fault. This is because nobody supported them. I'm like, huh? I did my best. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I was calling you Kevin. You asked me to call you Kevin. I called you Kevin. It wasn't easy because I remembered you as Kate, but. Okay. You never asked me any questions. You were. You were confusing me more than you were confused. Trust me. When Kevin starts showing up and Kate's dresses are all gone and you want to borrow, like you're at my house watching football and you're kind of getting it. You're throwing me for a loop. I want to be Kate again. God damn it, Kevin. I just got used to this.

[Brett]

Make up your goddamn. My typical broad.

[John Holmberg]

I'm done with you. Yeah. Boy, oh boy, do they have a You're still abroad at heart.

[Brett]

Some things never change.

[John Holmberg]

They lobbed your cans off and gave you a wiener. And you're logical for a couple years. And then she came back. I can't make up my mind. Yeah, yeah, I know. I could have told you that when you started this journey. Yeah, I don't want to sound insensitive to it, but I could have solved that problem. There wouldn't have been a documentary if I was the doctor. So let's get down to the brass tax here before I start lopping stuff off and adding things. They've been raped. Oh, my God. Why did you ask that? I'm just saying, you know, a lot of times people want to get rid of their genitals. You know, it's like moving out of a house where a crime happened. You don't want to be in. It reminds you. It reminds you too much. So every time you wipe after you pee, you remember Uncle Tony and you're trying to get rid of that thing. Is that going on?

[Toledo]

Even that one time question, you know, it's probably. You ever been raped before? Nope.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, good.

[Toledo]

Let's go back.

[John Holmberg]

Are you sure?

[Toledo]

It takes a little.

[John Holmberg]

Even the computer says, are you sure? Ask a second question. Delete all files. Are you sure? Even the computer says. Let's go down a little. Couple more routes here. Yeah, it was crazy. It was good documentary, though. I will say that. They had me reel and I didn't know where it was gonna go at the end. The last thing I expected was Jesus making a return and this person being a girl again. I didn't see that one at all. The double down and then I'm like, where'd you get all that money? Like 70 grand each time. She, she did a Jenny swap Swap. Jenny Swapp's a great band name, by the way. I like it. Jenny Swapp is a fantastic band. My friend text me yesterday. He goes, my phone just corrected to male pattern badass. And I'm like, yep, that's a thing. Call that man that Jenny swap and male swap.

[Toledo]

Yeah, you'll hate it.

[John Holmberg]

But all I hear is Jenny says, yeah, no, no cowboy mouth, Freddie. You've been raped by cowboy mouth. They, they ruin things. Before Brett leaves to give us that final or the first clues actually to kind of get that first keg out there. Let's get a Wake up song. 585-9800. A good one. We'll scream it together. It's 98 KUPD.
