Introduction

In this compelling 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, delves into some of the most intricate and emotionally charged personal dilemmas sent in by listeners. The episode titled "WWBD" (What Would Brady Do) addresses themes of infidelity, family relationships, and the challenges of navigating complex emotional landscapes. Striking a balance between humor and heartfelt advice, the hosts engage listeners with their candid discussions and insightful perspectives.

Creepy Remodeling Stories

The episode kicks off with a series of unsettling remodeling anecdotes shared by the hosts. Brett Vesely reminisces about discovering a hidden dungeon under a listener’s house during a remodeling project, highlighting the eerie surprises that can emerge from home renovations. Brady adds a chilling tale where a listener unearthed a dog’s remains while renovating their pool area, emphasizing the unintended consequences of altering one's living space.

Listener Letter: Saying Goodbye to a Beloved Pet [04:18]

A poignant moment arrives when Andrew, a longtime listener since 2014, shares his heartbreaking decision to euthanize his beloved chocolate lab, Tessa, due to her battle with cancer and arthritis. Brady responds with heartfelt empathy, encouraging listeners to honor Tessa’s memory by enjoying a burger in her name, recalling Tessa’s playful habit of sneaking cheeseburgers during the 4th of July celebrations.

Andrew: "Best damn dog I ever had... he was game for it." Brady [05:54]: "Burgers for Tessa today, go. Then Tessa gets a burger whether Tessa wants it or not."

Main Listener Dilemmas

The heart of the episode centers around two intricate listener dilemmas:

1. Infidelity After Separation [06:04 - 11:27]

   A listener named Darren writes in about getting another woman pregnant while separated from his wife. Now, as he contemplates reconciliation with his wife, he grapples with the implications of his actions and the potential fallout on multiple relationships.

   Darren [06:04]: "I broke it off with the other girl a month ago... I need help, Darren."

   The hosts dissect Darren's predicament, with Brady emphasizing the severity and offering blunt advice on accountability and the long-term consequences of his actions.

   Brady [07:13]: "You’re about to drag that ex-wife right into this lady's life... You and your wife are done."

2. Father Caught Son and Ex in the Shower [10:15 - 16:37]

   Another listener, Kent, seeks guidance after witnessing his 27-year-old son showering with his ex-girlfriend, aged 39. Kent is torn between addressing the situation directly or letting it resolve on its own, concerned about the potential familial disruptions that could follow.

   Kent [11:27]: "He caught my 27yo son in shower w/His Ex... Do I bring this up or just let it happen?"

   Brady and Bret engage in a robust discussion, analyzing the dynamics at play and the best course of action to preserve family integrity while addressing inappropriate behavior.

   Brady [15:02]: "She boned her ex boyfriend's son. If he can't see those red flags, she must be really hot."

   The conversation underscores the importance of setting boundaries and the role of parental intervention in preventing dysfunctional relationships.

Hosts’ Insights and Advice

Throughout these discussions, the hosts offer a blend of humor and directness, aiming to provide listeners with actionable advice while keeping the tone engaging. Brady's no-nonsense approach serves as a recurring theme, pushing listeners to take responsibility for their actions and make difficult but necessary decisions.

Brady [14:33]: "Why is she still there? Why... find another roommate. You don’t leave your ex in there."

Brett and Dick complement Brady's perspective by introducing practical solutions and emphasizing the importance of maintaining household integrity and personal accountability.

It's great. They got it all. Head on over there. Check it all out. 12th street in Indian School, Mo Money Pond brings you what would Brady do? And we thank them. Before we get into the letters themselves, we talked this morning about the people who had found the lady that I watched over the weekend that found a dungeon under her house. Basically a bunch of tunnels that had been there for years that she didn't know about. And she was doing some remodeling. The other lady that just pushed on her closet wall and it opened, and there was just a chair and old newspapers from the 70s in this room. Creepy. This guy says, when I helped redo my dad's kitchen, we thought it'd be funny to put a skeleton in the new kitchen island. Keep that up. Don't stop doing that if you're remodeling at all. Bones. One of the worst things I've ever done. Long time ago, Redoing some stuff around my pool. And the guy went in there and started digging, and he pulled up a dog.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Brady]

A family had buried their dog in their yard, and then they moved away. Which why I always say, don't bury your dog in your own backyard, because you might move. And there's nothing worse than little dog skeleton coming up from under the. The little tiny backhoe that we had back there. Oh, same.

[Unknown]

I had another awful. It was. There are five.

[Brady]

Five dogs.

[Unknown]

Five dogs. Because people live there forever.

[Brady]

Yeah. It's like, you don't know a weirder one. I bought that house in Show Low in 2011. And on the property, on one of those spots that it was really pretty spot. There was a little tombstone. I think the dog's name was Abby. I think that's right. I don't remember Abby. And then it had beloved family pet. I'm like, oh. And there was a little mound. You could see where they dug Abby and put her in. Like, oh. Left for a couple weeks. Camp was only weekends. Go up on weekends and go up there. And I'm like, I want to go visit Abby. Gone. Tombstone hold. They went. And I think somebody came and got her.

[Unknown]

Wow.

[Brady]

It wasn't like it was dug up by another animal. They took all the rocks that were around the thing and. Yeah, well, you, grave was gone.

[Brett Vesely]

We had. We had somebody used to work here that buried his dog kind of out in the desert. Ish. Like on the outskirts and then he started building condos there. So he had to go dig it up and move. He didn't want to leave it there for that.

[Brady]

Come on, man. Also, Ryan Weber, my co creator of justice on the Spectrum. I may kick you out of the whole operation. He emails, he goes, john, I feel like you need to throw Doug Hopkins out there for more than just one person. Can't Doug shell out 20 grand? You know, times are getting tough when the. Because for a while, when things are good, you guys complain that the money we give away isn't. That's a thousand bucks. Big deal. I make that in my sleep. And then when times get tough, you start begging us for more. Come on, man. 500 is not going to cut it. What else you got? Always more. And speaking of dogs, longtime listener since 2014. I didn't think I'd ever do this, but I've heard other people do it, and I think it helps. Over the weekend, I made the decision to say goodbye to my chocolate lab. Tessa. Cancer and arthritis. Best damn dog I ever had. Rescued him when he was 2. He was a lab that did whatever you wanted. Whether it was going on road trips, hiking, or just being lazy, he was game for it. Can I ask you and your listeners to have a burger today in his name as he once secretly ate cheeseburgers off the table on the 4th of July until he got sick? Thank you, Andrew. We'll bet. We'll do it.

[Unknown]

I'll do it.

[Brady]

Radio makeup for the people who don't as well. It's a burgers for Tessa today go.

[Brett Vesely]

To Red Robin.

[Brady]

Then Tessa gets a burger whether Tessa wants it or not.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

All right, Brady, are you ready?

[Unknown]

Ready.

[Brady]

Oh, this one's so solid, it's painful. We're late, so I'm just gonna start here. Dear Brady, I got my side girl pregnant. There's more. I'm currently separated from my wife, but it's actually looking like we're going to get back together. I broke it off with the other girl a month ago when my wife said she wanted to work on getting back together. I didn't know I'd gotten the other one pregnant. This is going to destroy so much of what I want to happen and what I've been building. I just jabbed the other girl to bury the pain of my loneliness. I need help, Darren.

[Unknown]

Oh, sorry, partner. You got to figure that one out. Hopefully your wife. What would you do back to get with? Well, I'm. I'm hoping that my wife would still say, let's get back Together even though.

[Brady]

You.

[Unknown]

Know you're not off the hook.

[Brady]

Darren, she's not coming back till you do something about this baby.

[Brett Vesely]

Sprite and graham crackers.

[Unknown]

An A. Yeah, but I mean bottom line is he, he can express himself and saying graham crackers, but he should.

[Brady]

He got to tell the girl we need some Sprite and graham crackers. You're going to ruin multiple lives if this keeps up. And if she says she wants to keep it, that means she's keeping you in her life forever. And you're about to drag that ex wife right into this lady's life. And.

[Unknown]

And then there's, I mean, you know, there's also reasons why we don't know why they separated to begin with.

[Brady]

Sure, there's a whole bunch of that. Yeah, but what kind of self respecting side piece keeps the baby? Well, you got a moral now it's the whole reason you did it. Oh my goodness. Daring, you moron. Raw doggin.

[Unknown]

Yeah, I mean I get it. How many times do we.

[Brady]

You're separated, you know, you're free to roam the planet. And I get, you know, you're lonely, you're feeling the pain, you're burying that thing. Oh boy. That. That's devastating. Darren.

[Brady]

So, Brady, you get the call?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Brady]

First thing you do. What do you do? I'm pregnant.

[Unknown]

Are you sure?

[Brady]

100%.

[Unknown]

And here, hold on.

[Brady]

Just.

[Unknown]

I'm the only guy. Come here. I've already had was a preemie.

[Brady]

I call it Thriller. She's got it. It's gonna happen.

[Unknown]

How much you want?

[Brady]

First you had a good question. The first question would be, we're DNA testing.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, yeah. You gotta make sure.

[Brady]

And again, we've learned that through this show, through all these. All you sluts out there that keep this up. Not the girls, but the guys, is that you guys continually have these things you're not sure are yours. Plop that. Whatever. They can do the prenatal DNA test now, demand that happens because you already broke up with this chick. She also might be hysterical and have one of those fake pregnancies like Brady's saying. If you broke up with her a month ago and she's just now coming at you pregnant, she might be throwing that hail Mary. Oof.

[Unknown]

But if she is.

[Brady]

Oh, if she isn't it, sure she.

[Unknown]

Wants to keep it.

[Brady]

You gotta tell that wife of yours I banged the most moral side piece in the world. And I want to get back together with you, but I got a kid coming. Oh, you're done. Start over, Darren. Start over. This isn't worth it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You and your wife are done.

[Unknown]

Maybe.

[Brady]

No, they're done. This is it. You're not. This is enough. Just start over. Move away. In fact, go somewhere else. Change your name to James Lambert and be something else. You're something else now. This is too hard. Oh, I don't wish this on anyone. Side piece rolls in, you got some baby birthdays and every other weekend. Your wife is never gonna let your raw dog tell you what, dear? Brady caught my son showering with my ex girlfriend. He's 27 and she's 39. We broke up and she stayed at the house. I came home, he was visiting, saw them in the shower. I immediately left. They have no idea. I guess I'm asking you what you would do because part of me doesn't care, but I also don't want them to become an item. Do I bring this up or just let it happen and see if they bring it up or if it just kind of goes away.

[Unknown]

Kent, who would I talk to you first?

[Brady]

Like who do you talk to?

[Unknown]

Or do you sit down and I, you know it's your son. So I'm like, look, I know you're getting mixed up. There's a reason why I broke up with this person. There's some red flags there. If. If there are and explain. I.

[Brady]

What if there's.

[Unknown]

I just don't think.

[Brady]

What if she broke up with him the reason you.

[Unknown]

I would say it. It's still just really weird if you guys were gonna stay together because he's.

[Brett Vesely]

So much bigger than his father.

[Brady]

That's exactly right. Brett and I have seen.

[Brett Vesely]

I've seen this video this week.

[Brady]

We've watched these videos. Myself. I told you the one about she cooked for him and stuff and said he won't be home till midnight. And then they sat and ate their dinner and it was daytime. Like didn't even try. Yeah, we've seen this video. It's. It's an epidemic. What's going on here with stepsons and stepmoms.

[Unknown]

Well, they're living at home longer then.

[Brady]

The fact that he's 27 and she's 39. There's a 12 year gap there.

[Unknown]

So more than likely three years left at home.

[Brady]

Yeah, more than likely.

[Unknown]

The move out is now 30.

[Brady]

Dad's 50 plus. Or maybe he had.

[Unknown]

I don't think it's that far of a stretch for.

[Brady]

No.

[Unknown]

The relationship. No, it's just. It would be kind of weird. But I guess you could. Guess you could overcome that.

[Brady]

Could you?

[Unknown]

Maybe. But I would have to. I'd want to let him know. Look, I came home the other day and I saw you with. With Linda. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Just want to give you a heads up. And if there's something that you really, you know, the reason I didn't go with her, I can't imagine the relationship because there's a big red flag.

[Brady]

So you're trying to make her the bad guy. Like you're Saying the reason I. What if he did and she like you're. You're assuming he got rid of them.

[Unknown]

If there was, yeah, you're right.

[Brady]

But if you dump a girl, you don't let her stay in your house. So more than likely she got rid of him and said we're just going to go separate ways. The only reason she's still there is because dad still wants her there. So he can go in and say red flag, red flag, red flag all he wants. Hey, if you got all these red flags, why does she still live here?

[Unknown]

Okay, I missed that part that she was still living in the house. I thought it was just crucial part of it.

[Brady]

She stayed there. The son was visiting, showed up. Hey, you guys aren't together anymore. Yeah, up in the shower together. I mean, you want to talk red flags? She boned the her ex boyfriend's son.

[Unknown]

Son. Yeah, he.

[Brady]

If he can't see those red flags, she must be hot. There must be really hot.

[Unknown]

Relationship.

[Brady]

I say ignore it. The original Brady route is the way to go here. Rose colored glasses, there's a passing fancy. You don't want her anymore, you're not going back to her. He probably boned her a couple of times in a few years. Around Christmas. Say, hey, I caught you in the shower with what's her name a few years ago. Don't care. But I'm glad you guys aren't an item.

[Brett Vesely]

This is just as much on him though. Why is she still there? Why? Why are you letting this broad live.

[Brady]

In your house back. There's no way. You wouldn't want that saying.

[Unknown]

Maybe she's up paying half.

[Brett Vesely]

Like find another roommate. You don't leave your ex in there.

[Brady]

Yeah, you don't.

[Unknown]

If he dumped her case, yeah, I'd say son move back in and you could be another renter.

[Brett Vesely]

He may be in from out of town.

[Brady]

Are going to save a couple bucks. Yeah, I see you two are getting along.

[Unknown]

Save some money.

[Brady]

We cut another grand off the end of this and you start kicking in. It's a three bedroom. Why wouldn't we? Yuck, what a mess. I'd ignore it and hope that they don't keep dating.

[Brett Vesely]

Kick her ass out.

[Unknown]

Yeah, she's out. That's the biggest thing.

[Brady]

Kick her out? Yeah, she's boning yourself, number one, right? You got to get her out now. Yeah, if you were. If you had that continue the relationship, well, that's over. If you had designed your own tough. If you had designs on keeping this together and she starts boning your son on a weekend. He's in. She's got to go.

[Unknown]

Yeah, not my house.

[Brady]

Yeah, well, not anywhere really. Stop boning my family members. We're done here. You move on to another family. Sluts. Sluts and idiots. That's what we hear from. There you go, everybody. That's what Brady did to solve all the problems.

[Unknown]

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