John Holmberg
It's John Holmberg here from the morning sickness for lifechangerloan.com I got this email. Dearest Holmberg, I don't have $10 million in my house or a ridiculous amount of money in the bank. And I'm sure when you're talking about Life Changer loan, you're not talking about people like me. So before I even think about it, can you enlighten me? It's not a rich person's money scheme that excludes normal people. Actually, you're going to end up paying off your mortgage in about five years and save on average about 250,000 dol. $50,000 in interest. Find out how for yourself. Schedule a call@lifechangealone.com it's not magic. It's just math. Morning sickness. You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself.

Brett
He's evil sitting right here.
- [01:50]
John Holmberg
Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. 98. Thank you. Miles to nowhere. That is Katie and the Hobbs with our theme song. You can go check them out online. Toledo's taken many, many pictures of my ass. I got a good look at some of the photos.
- [02:05]
Brett
Photo shoot out there.
- [02:06]
John Holmberg
She's pretty nice. Toledo's.
- [02:10]
Toledo's Friend
We should do some outdoor shots. Well, I mean the lighting.
- [02:12]
John Holmberg
He's used to the cucking so he gets a lot of close ups of bear men's asses. So he did a really nice job. So he's been doing this for a while and it's paid off. You know, I'm pretty sure it's just a bite. We got real close up on one. It looks like there's an injection site. It's not a head. It's kind of a hole for going in like a little dot. I've been bitten. It's weird. It's a very strange thing. The draft is tonight and this is again. I mean, I've said this for years and I'm not comfortable with it. The template of the draft is the exact same thing they used to do when they'd land boats from the West Indies over in the Caribbean and then start selling slaves. It's the exact same setup. Rich owners sit in a room and bid on the most athletic and powerful person that they can now put into their stable. And it's the same. They even went so far as to build a similar stage. They put height, weight, comp. It's. It is terrifying how similar it is if you go back to the West Indies in the slave trade. What. What the draft has decided to say, hey, that worked out. We can put some lights up and put. People will love watching this. Exactly.
- [03:25]
Toledo's Friend
I think it's. I think it's a lot like recess. When you're chicken, you're kickball team and.
- [03:31]
John Holmberg
Your lions pointing them off the walls.
- [03:33]
Toledo's Friend
Yeah, with money.
- [03:34]
John Holmberg
There's some of that. But if we built a stage and said the most athletic one goes first, I'm like, you're telling me you should.
- [03:41]
Toledo's Friend
Have had him against wall.
- [03:42]
John Holmberg
You're right. This is the exact same damn thing is. All right, we've ranked them all. And as they get off the boat, I'm going to tell you about this one. This is Cam Ward. He's the most athletic one. Like, we want him. Travis Hunter is a game changer for your plant team.
- [03:56]
Toledo's Friend
He's got great teeth.
- [03:57]
John Holmberg
Yeah, he does smile. He looks a little crazy, but he goes bo. He can do everything you ask him to do. You want him to work the Equipment. He works the equipment. You want him in the field, he plays the field. Like, this is the same damn thing that we fought 200 years to get rid of, and now we celebrate it. But there's money. So people are like, oh, there's money now. So it's different. It's the same. It's the same concepts, the same, you know, A to B to C. And I, for one, can't believe we watch it. I also watched the thing about, you know, how they do the red carpet and the guys walk in and they're. They treat it like the Oscars, and you thought, oh, this is a chance for their egos to go. I didn't know this for. Since that started. That was that. That began not as the players wearing clothes to show off. That began because a guy who did jewelry and some outfits told a guy, wear my stuff and walk in swagging, and he goes and say my name. Do it. And he's the one who started that.
- [04:57]
Toledo's Friend
They get paid for.
- [04:58]
John Holmberg
Exactly. It wasn't espn. It wasn't abc.
- [05:02]
Toledo's Friend
It's like an independent.
- [05:03]
John Holmberg
ABC looked and said, holy cow, we can treat this like the Oscars. But some jewelry guy said, do this for me. And when they ask you stuff, like, just bling up, be the. Grab the attention, and they'll know my. And I'll pay you. And they gave somebody. I forget who it was, but Dion was like, this is way back. Dion was one who really took advantage of all the 21 gear. Like, where's he. Where's this college kid getting that $200,000 necklace? Not in college anymore. Now I'm not going back to college. So I bought it. And so that's. And Cam Scatter, who I got.
- [05:37]
Toledo's Friend
I held off on all the Dion stuff early on until he was the coach at Colorado.
- [05:42]
John Holmberg
Yeah.
- [05:42]
Toledo's Friend
And he had those sunglasses. I bought a pair.
- [05:45]
John Holmberg
You got a pair of those? You would look horrible in those.
- [05:47]
Brett
I want to see.
- [05:50]
John Holmberg
I can tell you just.
- [05:51]
Toledo's Friend
I bought them just because of the Dion.
- [05:53]
John Holmberg
Your face shape is absolutely the opposite of what those should be. They're the gold strip across. I want to see these. They'd look like blue blockers on you. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- [06:03]
Toledo's Friend
I might have them in my car.
- [06:04]
John Holmberg
Oh, my. We gotta get a picture. Yeah. That's not that. You're not built for. Nobody in this room is built for the Dion shades at all.
- [06:11]
Toledo's Friend
Oh, it wasn't for the look.
- [06:12]
John Holmberg
Oh, I know. But, yeah, you got. If you're buying stuff that Dion wears. I. I hope you're kidding, because if you're trying to go, hey, I'd look pretty awesome in that. Coach Sanders. Baby, you out your mind. I bought those down in Atlanta when I was a. I played for the Falcons. Brady built that dome. Brady tried to dress like me. You crazy, man. I'm gonna have probably a whole life full of Dion and Shador Sanders if things kind of break the way they look. Like they might. Yeah, there's potential, but, yeah, that draft is crazy. So it's tonight, and we sit and watch. But I was blown away at the. The beginnings of when the players started to show up, and it was the NFL that was late to the party. They didn't build any of this. They just started to notice, oh, we should have the players here. Because if you watch the old draft, it was in a convention center in a Hilton, and they set up tables. No tables before there were no players there. They didn't invite anybody. Wasn't. The NFL did not have their finger on the pulse of this draft until they started to realize, oh, my God, the kids are making a ton of money. All we have to do is roll a red carpet out and invite them down here. They'll show up because they were at home. So the draft, half. Half those guys didn't even. Well, talk to Dale later today. He's like, the draft, it was. All of the rounds were in a day. They went from 11 in the morning to, like, 4 in the morning. Just get it out of the way. It was a day. It was at Hilton Convention Center. Every team was sitting in the same spot. They all just kind of called in to the commissioner was standing there. No pomp and circumstance. ESPN started to televise it a little bit, like, maybe people will watch this. Then some of the players started to, like, bling out for when they got drafted. If somebody interviewed them and then they'd have all that stuff on. So, like, you know, it'd be great is if the number one pick was right here with us when that happened. So they started to invite the players, and then when it became obvious that, oh, there's ways to skirt the rules and we can pay them. The agents used to give the. The agents used to buy them that and say, here you go, you've hired me. You're allowed to hire me now. And I got you a gift for that. And then they pay them back with their signing bonus. So half of the stuff was just clothing, almost like a record label. It's an amazing kind of way that it's turned into what it is tonight, which is a massive Tourist thing. Green Bay is loaded. It's got 450,000 people in it that just go and stand and watch people get picked. It's incredible when you look at it and how it's grown into what it is. It's. It's just dudes getting picked. It's not. It's not even a. A really entertaining thing. But we're so locked in on NFL stuff, it's mind blowing.
- [08:58]
Toledo's Friend
Oh, it's touching.
- [08:59]
John Holmberg
Mind blowing merchandise.
- [09:02]
Toledo's Friend
Every team.
- [09:02]
John Holmberg
You're selling jerseys. Yeah, you're. You're. You know, the. The drama, the soap opera, the WW F Of the whole thing. WWE of the. Oh, he's got. I remember a couple years ago when they kept saying that every. Every player. Here's the most recent death in his family. They. Tragedy porn. They make it the. You know, his mother had a drug addiction and lost his father when he was nine. Like, that was a while ago.
- [09:25]
Brett
He's watching the Voice.
- [09:26]
John Holmberg
Yeah. He should be better. Yeah, exactly.
- [09:27]
Toledo's Friend
It is the backstory.
- [09:29]
John Holmberg
The one guy whose dad fell down the. The incredible story of his father falling in the driveway and rolling into the road and getting run over. And I thought, what, did he live on, a pyramid?
- [09:38]
Toledo's Friend
Yeah.
- [09:39]
John Holmberg
How do you fall in a driveway? And ro. The way to the road. That is a steep incline. I know if I fell in my driveway, I could slow myself before I get to the road. I'm not. I'll be outside for a second. I'm just gonna take the trash out down that giant side. Why do we live on this hill? Just. I mean, that's insane. But they kind of. They tried to do that and they said. Then. Then they'd say something like. And that happened about 12 years ago. Well, the kid was 4. He's fine. He doesn't even miss his dad. His dad rolled down the driveway. I hope he moved to a better house that wasn't teetering on the tip of something. Yeah, they make it dramatic and everything else, but it is entertaining. And I'm going again. Another day of me wandering out watching people get picked, and I'm going with a couple of friends that I've gone with every time. So. Yeah, that was. I remember that one. Alex's. I remember I watched the draft once and remembered Will Levis actually showing up with his hot ass girlfriend. She was dressed like a smoke show and he didn't get drafted till the next day. They love that ESPN acts like, oh, we couldn't possibly. The Aaron Rodgers thing. The. The. What was his name? Brady Quinn. They're like, oh, it's terrible. We can't put him on. He's moved out of the green room and away from the cameras. ESPN loves watching a 21 year old's dreams get squished. They're going to Cam Scatter Boo's house. I was golfing with Scott last week and Cam was talking and we were going and I said, what are you like, what's going on at the. You're going to have ESPN at the house Friday and probably third round. I'm like, they, ESPN acts like they're your friends. Those cameras are in your house. What they want to see more than they want to see you drafted is you fall to the fourth round and they, they're going to cut to you. Camp Scatter Boo is still available. I think he goes in the third round. I think it's pretty safe. But espn, deep down, they're rooting for that house to be sad. They're rooting for, to be like, wow, he's really slipped. You know, let's talk to him. Let's see if his emotions have gotten the best of them. Then they act like, what else? They love it.
- [11:45]
Toledo's Friend
Yeah, that's pretty deep. They definitely.
- [11:47]
John Holmberg
First round, oh, first round falls. They're thrilled with it. They still show it as, as much as they say Aaron Rodgers Falling to the 21st pick is just one of the worst moments ever. His face, you could see it. He was so upset, so sad. And I'm like, you guys keep showing it. Twenty years later, it's still like, remember this face? Remember when he was all sad because he was supposed to go earlier and he didn't. They love the tragedy. So tonight we'll see. Will Shador Sanders fall? Will Travis Hunter go third instead of second? There's some good stories in it, but we'll see. I don't know.
- [12:22]
Toledo's Friend
Will 23 Buckeyes be drafted?
- [12:24]
John Holmberg
Right? They're going to be the entire professional Ohio State Buckeyes will go though. They will. By the time the seventh round's over, there'll be a bunch of them gone. I don't know how many first rounders you got. Probably a couple linemen. Maybe there's a running back, but I doubt it. And the Cardinals, who you gotta like, you know, their general manager and their coach are like, we're gonna, we're, we're staying out of this crazy. Get ourselves a D lineman or a, an O lineman and build trenches. Maybe a linebacker. Get some, they need, they got some needs, but it'll be tonight. It'll be, it's fun.
- [12:56]
Toledo's Friend
To see the early, you know, in the first round, of course, swapping out for a trade.
- [13:00]
John Holmberg
Oh, I think that'll be fun. Yeah, we love it. But really think about how mundane and boring this entire thing is. What a. They put pretty lights and dress this pig up. It's just basically people getting jobs. It's. It's a. You go down to des and they start on you, you, you and you, you come with me. It's some, you know, place that placement center where they go in and you get temporary workers. You and you and you come with me. You get on the bus with that Home Depot.

The Home Depot has an NFL draft every day. Those guys sit outside and somebody pulls up and goes, which one to use the strongest? See, get in the truck. We draft at the Home Depot, constantly. Put it on tv. Nobody would do it.
- [15:24]
Toledo's Friend
They should at least have, you know, if they're picking them up on a truck, at least hand them a jersey.
- [15:30]
John Holmberg
Hand him a shirt from the company. Yeah. Congratulations.
- [15:33]

- [15:51]
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, they're good. They're. They play them all in the trade.
- [15:54]
Toledo's Friend
They can do it.
- [15:55]
John Holmberg
Electrical. See? Plumbing. See? Concrete. See. Irrigation. Tea. This guy's the number one pick. We gotta take him with us. He's in there with his diamond necklace that just says pinche. Pinche. Carlos. Carlos. Yeah, it's great. Yeah. We do a draft all the time. It's the only one that we're interested in. The WNBA tries to copy it. Nobody watches. The NBA draft is not watchable. The baseball draft, they try to televise. What are you thinking? NFL is the only one we care about and it is big. It's a big thing. So hopefully your favorite team has its moment. I don't know what to expect from mine. I halfway think we'll talk to Dale Hell street later this morning. I halfway think that today Aaron Rodgers will finally tell everybody where he's going. Here's the reason why, and I would imagine, because my team's never this dumb. They're never Cleveland Browns dumb, and they're being Cleveland Browns dumb. This off season by letting Aaron Rodgers do his thing. This is my hope more than it is what I think will happen. Aaron. The draft is in Green Bay this year. The Steelers, I mean, the media pays it. Aaron Rodgers, for like him or hate him, manipulates the media with his indecision. And people, you know, this being embarrassment, he goofs around with the media saying, I don't know, maybe I come back, maybe I retire. Oh. Oh. That's a full hour of their 24 hour cycle of filling time with Aaron Rodgers indecisiveness. His ayahuasca retreats. His darkness retreats. They covered it all. And then he just, you know, he plays them like a fiddle. My, my belief is that he's told The Steelers. I'm going to sign with you. Let me announce this at an event now. I thought it was going to be Pat McAfee's thing, and then my brain said, oh, the drafts in Green Bay. Aaron loves manipulating the media and being the center of attention. If he can steal the spotlight at the Green Bay draft and have everybody talking about him, he'll just say, I'm a Pittsburgh Steeler or I'm retired today. And. And he will manipulate the entire draft. Because if it turns out the Steelers don't need. If the Steelers don't need a quarterback, teams will then jump ahead of them. The trades will start being like, oh, oh, oh, oh. The Steelers are going to be some shuffling. They're going D line, or are they going to move? And now what do they do? Shador can't fall. If he falls now, or you assume Shador is going to fall, or one of the, you know, quarterbacks, he can manipulate people's decisions, and I think that dude lives for that stuff. It would not surprise me today if Aaron Rodgers made that announcement. If he actually said, by the way, I'm going to blank. I'm going to do this. And then. And then all of ESPN has to switch their coverage from what's going on in the draft to Aaron Rodgers now is retired or Aaron Rodgers is a Pittsburgh Steeler. It manipulates people's decisions. The Steelers then become a team's. Like, do we trade up? Do we do a quarterback? What do we do now? Do we make a trade for we. Oh, yeah. But. But if the Steelers know, and he alluded to that on Pat McAfee show, he goes, the Steelers are well aware of my process, and they're fine with it. They wouldn't be fine with it if it was like, I don't know, guys, I'll. I'll think about it. If that's the. If he told them something, and so. But it changes.
- [19:17]
Toledo's Friend
There's. There's a little truth to the matter that they would have moved on from.
- [19:23]
John Holmberg
Absolutely.
- [19:24]
Toledo's Friend
A long time.
- [19:25]
John Holmberg
They wouldn't still be in the game.
- [19:26]
Toledo's Friend
Yeah.
- [19:27]
John Holmberg
Waiting for him to hold. Like you said, hold him hostage. But right now, if he. If he comes out later and says, I'm going to retire, then Pittsburgh has to go, okay, we got to make a trip. We got to get Kirk Cousins. We got to do something. Crazy. Trades start happening that weren't going to. And all these fake mock drafts, all this crap we've been thinking about means nothing because the second he makes a decision, one team has to start Scrambling and that'll cause others to do the same.
- [19:52]
Brett
It's like a LeBron thing.
- [19:53]
John Holmberg
It's a. He is the LeBron of the NFL. You're absolutely right. So I. That's my thoughts today of what might happen tonight. That would be the bombshell that Aaron Rodgers becomes the focus of the draft because he's a big enough dick to steal the spotlight from these kids who have worked their asses off to get where they are and become the story of the draft. So then Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, all these guys that are determines the draft, they don't even, you know, they'll be an afterthought to Aaron Rodgers manipulating the draft. The first few picks we already know. Unless Pittsburgh jumps up or New Orleans jumps up or a team that needs a quarterback. Tennessee gets theirs first and then does something else. It's Brett.
- [20:36]
Toledo's Friend
Pull up Mel Kuipers.
- [20:38]
John Holmberg
Yeah, Mel Kuiper, who's by the way, got like a 17% correct in the first round. Every year he gets the first five or six right, and then it's all over. He's got a low percentage of his first round picks being correct. He's terrible, but he knows every player that's ever played the game. Amazing. I've just gotten an amazing email from Rochelle out in Gilbert. She says another reason to keep your ass clean and pristine. You've been vindicated again. You never know when you're gonna need a co worker to post pictures of your ass on social media. It better be ready. I looked at the pictures. It looks painful. I hope it's not serious. I hope you feel better soon. That's right, Rochelle. I have no problem having my ass photographed at any time of the day because I'm constantly clean. Is that Kuiper's drafts? Yeah. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see how it works out. But you know, it's a very interesting thing and people will be talking. NFL draft is a big deal.
- [21:40]
Brett
Any surprises up top there?
- [21:42]
John Holmberg
I mean, Travis Hunter's the big question. Will the Browns go with Hunter? Because if they don't, then the Giants will. And if the. You know, I think that the Browns will go with Travis Hunter because he's just too much to pass up. But if they don't, he'll. They'll get the guy from Penn State and stick him on the other side of Miles Garrett and then suddenly their defense is horri. I think Abdul Carter is the most talented defensive player out there. I think that's the best one. But he's got, I mean, Mel Kuiper's got Shador Sanders going third. Some people have him going 20th or falling even further. So we'll see. It could all change if Tennessee decides to go with Abdul Carter and go defense and then work with Will Leviss another year. Who knows? I can't imagine they will, but gonna be some strange stuff going on. But it's fun to watch. God, I hate that Aaron Rodgers and I might have to be cheering for him. That's what Guy just said. I'm not trying to be incredulous here. If Rogers goes to the Steelers, how do you root for them? It's tough.
- [22:45]
Brett
It's like you said before, you root for laundry.
- [22:47]
John Holmberg
You start rooting for the laundry. There's so many players on that team I like and here's how I root for them. This is the painful truth. He's the best option. So if it's. If it's tolerating his dickheadedness right now on that roster, he's the. If they got Aaron Rodgers, like at least there's a decent quarterback talent on the team. I don't like him. But. And you also know that it's temporary. We're not putting our hopes and dreams for the future and Aaron Rodgers. It's like we're in a pickle. We need a guy to step in. Can you do this job? So sometimes an asshole steps up and does the job and I think that's what we got going on. It's a rough one. Steelers are acting like the Browns and I don't like it because we all know what the Browns are and that's piles of sh. T. I don't like that. I don't like following in the footsteps of somebody. Piles of crap all over their feet. Here's something that needs to be said and isn't. If you're online and you're talking to someone you've never met and they want to meet in a parking lot and have sex, they're underage. You're being stung. Don't go yourself. You're an idiot. Another guy but they had another sting. And it said Arizona State professor accused of arranging a meetup for sex with someone he thought was a teen boy. Instead was an undercover cop. April 18 the undercover Chandler, a police officer used AI generated photos to pose as a 15 year old boy. Now AI is going to change this game because you're not using real pictures of a real person. AI generated 15 year old boy. Might as well send the guy a crayon drawing. It's not a thing goes on and on online dating app received a message from another user. This guy's name is she you. Whoop. Then I'd show you a picture of she. You will, but do I have to? You already know. Court paperwork cites that Woo sent a sexual photo to the undercover officer and began asking questions pertaining to sex and where this boy was. Where are you, you hot little boy? Said she you Woo. They sent the officer sent an address to the apartment complex in Chandler, and there he rolled up. She, you, Woo. And they said, that's it. Now here's ready to teach. But the follow up on the story is the convictions for these things are relatively low because it's not a real boy, especially with AI there. He did technically in a court of law in black and white, he didn't do a thing. Yep. He had an idea. He had the concept. And then you can solicit, you can get him dinged for some misdemeanors, but for the most part, you didn't really do anything wrong. That's why, you know, To Catch a Predator, which everybody loved, kind of went off the air because you were essentially putting people on TV that were being. It wasn't entrapment so much as it was just. Well, the person I was talking to was actually 19, so I may have thought they were 15. Turns out it was completely legal. It's like buying a bag of weed. My intention was to buy weed, but it's just oregano, so I don't have any weed. There wasn't. I ended up buying some spices.

Even the girl checking laundry and the cookies were ready out of the oven. And she's of age.
- [26:02]
John Holmberg
She's of age because you couldn't. So what I've always said, and this is what I would do if I were a parent in Brett, I think you would too. We need more people willing to use their actual underage kids as bait with the police. Now you can pull a whole Cyrano diverse act thing and whisper into the ear of the kid what to say and then troll the kid. I would do this if I had a son. Now, my son probably wouldn't be first pick by a lot of pedophiles because his father was not. And there were pedophiles all over Dobson High School. I mean, we had father Dale and his whole crew scouting, and I never once got drafted. I was an undrafted agent, couldn't make the team. Walking around there with my giant head on my toothpick body. And not once did father Dale ever think, get him in the stable.
- [26:51]
Brett
Not once did you Know any first rounders?
- [26:53]
John Holmberg
I knew three first rounders. I was friends with one first rounder. I didn't know what was going on. Found out about 12 years later that that first rounder is the one who blew the whistle on everything.

Brett
Got drafted number one, huh?
- [28:18]
John Holmberg
You know what though? Never. Never made the field. Really. No. Ran away smart enough to know something was going on when Father Dale took his pants off and tried to get him go in the hot tub with him.
- [28:28]
Toledo's Friend
Platinum.
- [28:29]
John Holmberg
He stayed. Platinum. He tried to rat him out early. Nobody believed him. But I did happen to know two others that were railed mercilessly by Father Dale and his crew. Now Father Dale, to be fair, never evidently did any of the actual work.
- [28:47]
Brett
So he was cucking.
- [28:47]
John Holmberg
He cucked it.
- [28:48]
Brett
Okay.
- [28:48]
John Holmberg
Arranged it and cucked it. But there was a lot of white ropes in that jacuzzi he'd get those kids in. You want to make some holy white ropes? You've never made white ropes? Let me help you. Oh, white ropes. But I was never drafted. I never got picked up. So my son would probably pick up some of my characteristics. And you know, she, you woo would be scrolling through the kid grinder and look at my kids big nose and be like not, not even gonna try. Not even, not worth it.

Couple of babies in the Life teen program.
- [29:25]
John Holmberg
Yeah. So what we need are people who are fun, who are like, I'll sit with the cops in a room and I'll troll with my 15, 14, 15 year old son and make him say dirty stuff. Now keep in mind you act like, oh, that's terrible to do to look, your kid's doing it already. The majority of your kids are talking real dirty behind your back. They know stuff, they know things there. They play nice with you. I did it with my dad. I knew what was going on, but I never cussed in front of my parents. I never said dirty things. I acted like sex scenes were gross and we weren't. Meanwhile, I got a VCR in my bedroom. Was the only VCR in the house. I was the first one the house to have one. And why so, so I could stare at asses on paws and do some damage to myself and recognize a lot of terrible. I, I knew what was going on. So could I talk 30 at 15? Absolutely. Did I? No. If my dad said, hey, we're going to get some pedophiles arrested, you want to come with? I'm like, yes, I'm gonna whisper in your ear. And he would have been blown away at how good I am. I mean, Brittany Zamora had a 12 year old. When you read the text, I guarantee his parents didn't think that he was that advanced. I coached kids in a 13 year old basketball league a long time ago and they taught me some things. I didn't know what a rainbow party was until then. I asked him how come they all had these gay wristbands on. How come you guys have rainbow wristbands on? Trying to get all seven colors. I don't even know what that means. Well, at school, if a girl kisses you down there, oh my God, what? And she's wearing lipstick of a certain color, you get the band, she gives you the band. I had yellow and red. I'm like, there's girls with yellow? Yeah, because they try to help us fill out the rainbow. Jesus Christ. When's the next party? Your chicks are better than our chicks. At the time I was like 28. I'm like, I gotta take chicks to dinner and stuff. I gotta pay for that. You guys are just doing, you're 13. The one kid had him all the way up his arm. He's the best looking one too, by the way. It made sense to me. I'm like, yeah, that makes sense. This kid's got double rainbow. Little Peter north, he was, you know, he's one of those 13 year olds. It was about five, 10 man body, a little mustache. I'm like, yeah, his name was like Jaren or something. He had some strange held back. He might have been 20, but the kid had double rainbows going. He had all seven. And then a new start evidently. All of his. But that kid's parents were like, oh, he just wears those because he's conscious of social, you know, charities. Yeah, that's right. That's all about Lance Armstrong, his wristbands. But you get those kids online and then we can start convicting these perverts. What's more important, convicting the weirdos with real underage kids that we're using as bait or play pretending that we have kids underage and they get out and get to walk around. I mean all we're trying to do is embarrass them with mug shots and then they have to. Then they go. I mean the conviction rate on this is.
- [32:21]
Toledo's Friend
So are they registered after that?
- [32:23]
John Holmberg
No, not necessarily. No. You get out of it. You're supposed to at first, but like you solicitation and things like that and you can get in trouble for it for what you said. But if it wasn't with a real kid, your lawyers can say it wasn't a kid. He was talking to a 20 year old. You can't. They'll sue the city. You guys put a 20 year old in there. The real person pretending was your side, you guys were lying. So it gets really kind of convoluted and none of them actually get. And then that one guy that just killed himself from To Catch a Predator, he went home and committed suicide. And then his family's like, NBC did this to him. Like, here's all the people we caught, here's their pictures. And you know, he wanted to publicly embarrass him. And in court he was found to be not guilty of felonies. It was misdemeanors. It was nothing. You tried to kill him and they did.
- [33:16]
Brett
Your life still wrecked. It's doesn't matter if it's misdemeanors or felonies.
- [33:20]
John Holmberg
It's for a while for that. Yeah, but the felony sticks, you got to put that down. Have you ever been, you know.
- [33:25]
Brett
No, I know, but I mean like as far as, you know, like we said yesterday, perception is reality. As soon as somebody thinks, oh yeah, you're screwed.
- [33:31]
John Holmberg
Oh, they remember you. And that's the hope of you showed up to the party, right? But when they have 20 people that they've, you know, arrested for this and only one, and it's only because of his position at asu, only one guy's face really gets prominently put up on tv. If his lawyers squeeze him out of there, you start looking at like, hey, you guys tried to wreck it too, but they don't have a good conviction, right? So it's fun for us to watch the stings because, like, good, get them. We want them all going to jail. And the, the better risk is that you're really kind of saying to yourself, you know, if you're, you know, the news outlets, what are the odds this dude, if he gets away with this or if he moves on, that he's going to come sue us and just keep this alive. That guy wants that buried faster than anything. But if he, if he decides to sue channel, you know, 3, 5, 10, 12, whatever, and he says, I'll sue them, they're gonna do stories about it. We're being sued by Shin Shi Yu for, for putting it out there. And you know, Shin Shi Yu is going to try to get 20 million. He was, he was the one who met the 15 year old. The apartment complex, or so we thought. That was the story we told.
- [34:44]
Toledo's Friend
Even the exchange in text.
- [34:47]
John Holmberg
Yeah, he's gonna have to read that again. They're gonna have to put that up.
- [34:49]
Toledo's Friend
You know, but he's, you know, yes, he believes he's texting a 15 year old, but it's not right.
- [34:56]
John Holmberg
So we need some real ones. We need some, we need some parents who are willing to put their kids on the line like I would if I had kids, you know, said that when my wife went on a field trip with my daughter when she was in middle school and oh my God, the boys were all perverts. All boys at age 13 become aware of perversion. Some are good at it, some are horrible at it. But if you're online and you think you're Talking to a 15 year old, we have to make it so you actually are. So we can, we can slap a felony on your ass. And if you do get loose, you still have to put that down on a job application and explain yourself, because I don't think there's any coming back from that. I don't think embarrassment cures that. I don't. All right, well, he's learned his lesson. See if he tries that again. I think if you've got A desire for it, but a little embarrassment, you know, keeps you away from it for a while. It's like drugs. Oh, that was a close call. I better be careful. I don't. Better stop liking 15 year olds. Well, that's a tall order for a guy who likes 15 year olds. I gotta stop liking those smooth boys. That's something you like or you don't like.
- [36:05]
Brett
Don't ever say those words together again.
- [36:08]
John Holmberg
What smooth boys?
- [36:11]
Brett
Somebody wants to know if Kid Grinder, good band name.
- [36:14]
John Holmberg
Kid Grinders, a great band name. You got to spell it right. You can't have the E in the rapper Grindr. Kid Grindr is a good rapper. That's. Yeah. With little nonsense.
- [36:22]
Brett
Little Grinder.
- [36:22]
John Holmberg
Little. Little Kid Grinder. Oh, that's terrifying. But yeah, I think, I think you got. I think you got to start trolling your children around. I hate to say that, but if I had kids, that's what I'd be doing. Be great. But these AI kids that they're putting out, that's gonna. These guys are gonna. I think AI is gonna change the game, that people who do have smooth boy tendencies will have an outlet and it won't be real kids. I don't think you get better from that. I don't think you grow out of it. I don't think. I think once you have that to the point where you're trolling on websites or even know what websites to go on. Yeah. You're irredeemable.
- [37:09]
Toledo's Friend
I wonder what it. You know, the person that does time for that five years, I don't know, they come out and does it repeat again?
- [37:20]
John Holmberg
Like, are you.
- [37:20]
Toledo's Friend
I would.
- [37:20]
John Holmberg
Yeah, I'm better now. Yeah, man, good luck. But the news always makes a, you know, a spotlight on one of the guys and says, here's a guy that works at the college, he works over at asu. He's a professor. Well, all those kids are legal. They were safe. He worked at a high school. Forget it. But you got to be careful with that. Toledo should have done that with his boy. Now he's too old.
- [37:46]
Brett
Put him up there.
- [37:47]
John Holmberg
Yeah, he should have trolled him out there on the Internet, tried to catch some predators. And then when you get to court, like, yeah, you were actually talking to a 15 year old. We had a volunteer dad put his kid on the block. You were actually talking to a 15 year old. He set you up. The key to what's gonna be making it so the 15 year olds manipulate the predators, not the other way around. My world would work out so much better. Plus, it's. If you get caught Talking to a 15 year old about sex, to me in Holmberg land, that's immediate execution. And I know, again, we're big on this due process thing this week. We haven't cared about it for years. Letting people just float across the border and then say, now, who cares? Laws, blah, blah, blah. One guy gets deported, and it's like, well, we gotta have due process then. I get it. We do. But there's your due process. If you. If Brett's talking to a 15 year old online. Like, guys, I got to tell you, I got busted. I went into her apartment. I was gonna have sex with a 15 year old. You. You get the. You get the. The salad colander over your head that day, and we turn it on, roll on one. Oh, yeah, we're definitely doing the. The strainer on your head with the wires attached. There's no reason for you to redeem it. And you have to wear a shirt that says Smooth Boys on it everywhere you go. If you just get caught like this guy did and it turned out to be a sting, we have to scarlet letter you with the sb. There has to be an SB on your car and an SB on all of your clothes. A patch you have to wear everywhere, maybe even a tattoo on your forehead that says SB for smooth boys, because that's what you're looking for. And that way everyone would know, I could fix this. No one wants to listen. Some guy brings up Mr. Orange. Did. Yeah, he was another one. He get.
- [39:34]
Brett
Didn't he get busted again or something like that?
- [39:36]
John Holmberg
Dude, this guy like another. Getting it done.
- [39:38]
Brett
Yeah.
- [39:39]
John Holmberg
Yeah. He wasn't just part of stings. He was soliciting a lot at a high school. Like, he wasn't even in a sting. He was actually trolling. He was Father Dalen, as I like to. I made it a verb now. He went out Father daily.
- [40:03]

And that. You know, I don't know how nobody saw it. I actually remember sitting down with Jake Rowland, who was a director of discipline and the vice. Vince. Vice principal something. He was some. He was like third in charge. And I sat down and I told him I'm not comfortable with that man wandering around this school. Who? Father Dale, the man in the dress. Why the hell is he bothering you? I'm like, because we're not supposed to have church at school. And he's making me uncomfortable. And I remember looking him in the eye saying, if that was a Muslim guy, you guys would want him off the campus. Father Dale's a pillar in the community. Shouldn't be on our school. You don't know what you're talking about.
- [42:22]
Brett
Yeah, but that back in the 80s and 90s that church could do no wrong in that neighborhood. I mean, yeah, obviously.
- [42:28]
John Holmberg
And the one jackass that said he should. Maybe that's why I didn't get asked out by Father Dale. Maybe Jake Rowland told that little blonde girl over there, he said he's on.
- [42:39]
Brett
To you boy, he CB'd you, huh?
- [42:41]
John Holmberg
Maybe, yeah, maybe Jake Rowland blocked me with Father Dale. Maybe I was on the radar. And then he's like, ooh, he's a tattle. Stay away from that ugly Bond one. Because I talked to Jake Rowland and Jake Rowland then hated me. Mr. Rollin. Call me Mr. Rowland. No, I'm gonna call you Jake. Yeah. You got no respect for anybody. Like you don't have any respect for me. I said, I don't want a man in a dress walking around in my school for no reason. Who's trying to teach me about the Lord. What if I don't want to know? He's not doing anything wrong. Fast forward 10 years, he's railing three of the kids in my class. Well, he was arranging it. So I was the smart one. And I would have very gladly had I been better looking. Trolled for pedophiles in the name of justice. No one asked. It should be a extracurricular activity at school. It should be. You should earn a letter for it. You know, Letterman's jacket for trolling pedos. At from 3:30 to 5 every day, you go online and troll Pedos Dobson, you would have, you know, killed it. And we just saved. We just saved some young kids lives.
- [43:55]

Or catch Pedos. Basketball, football. I'm not real athletic. Math team. You want to be a mathlete? No, I'm not Asian. The only thing you can do is catch pedophiles. We got a whole, you know, and then the yearbook, the pedal catching team. And you got, you know, the photography lab and the kids who do Internet stuff and the pedos. It would have been the drama department. They'd have been great at it. Little actors, you give them roles. Couldn't put our kids in that situation. Oh, yeah, it's better to not do it and let these guys walk free. You're right. And some of you have some adult kids that could use a little extra credit for their college. You know, you're getting Cs and high Ds. You get them an extracurricular.
- [44:42]
Brett
Oh, my dad would have thrown me out there. Oh, really? Extra credit? Get your ass in there.
- [44:46]

Yep.
- [44:47]

My dad would have volunteered. Oh, yeah. I think he's a twink already, so might as well get him.
- [44:51]
Brett
What's the difference?
- [44:51]
John Holmberg
Get him trained either way. Got another one out there and it's big news. But if you're online and you think you're Talking to a 15 year old and you have to meet in a parking lot, you're going to be on tv. I don't want to protect you, but how dumb are you? You. This 15 year old wants to meet me in a parking lot because he, he lives with his parents. Like, you can't troll for teens and meet in a parking lot. And how come these guys never invite the teens to their house? Why are they always going over to a teen's house or a park? You're an adult. Why don't they come to your place?
- [45:36]

It is weird. I mean, when the To Catch a Predator was on where they just walk. Come on in.

- [45:57]

She did a lot of laundry.
- [45:58]
John Holmberg
She did tons of laundry. And she was busy. She knew the guy was coming over to rail her, but she had some. She had some panties in the wash. Delicates, you know. Of course you gotta finish her chores. Her parents would be furious. Guess it made sense to the guy. So I understand you probably have chore list on the fridge.
- [46:15]

- [46:25]

Oh, they do that now.
- [46:26]
John Holmberg
He. It's online and it's hilarious. Hola. He comes around the corner and almost all of them are sitting there with their dicks out going, ideos meos. And then he goes to a translator on his phone and tells him that they're perverts because you're allowed to do it anyway. It's just rules by home Bird. Topia would be a whole lot different, but I think you're being selfish. If you've got an adorable 15 year old and you're not trolling for Predator, get out there and put those pricks in jail and make it stick. None of this stuff stick. Bert, what do you got on the big board of musical treats? My ass hurts.

I got nothing. All right, Wake Up Song brought to you by Action Ride Shop. And well, now's the time to get out there on the bikes, get them ready to go pick up a new one, rent one, do whatever. But it is bike season right now, so Action Ride Shop Is your one stop shop. Full line of Santa Cruz Pivot, Rocky Mountain, Kona. You name it, they got it. And if you're not sure you want to buy it, well you can always rent there. They got the E bikes, they got regular bikes. And of course you got that bike in the garage. It's just been sitting there all summer long, all winter long. Well, now's the time to get it tuned up and bring it on over to Action ride shop. Bench wrenches in town.

Actionrideshop.com by the way, this is why Scott Haynes is one of our funniest listeners, if not our funniest listener. He just text over and he said Shen Woo woo went by Mr. Orange Chicken. We have Mr. Orange and Mr. Orange Chicken both. I like that he said. And by the way, Shin Wu Wu did send graphic photos to the 15 year old but they were all pixelated. So does that count? That's true too. If you are trying to have a sexting with an Asian. Does he pixelate? Does it, does his phone automatically do that? I got dick pics from Shin Woo Woo and it looks like I'm playing Minecraft. What do you got?

How you doing tonight, huh? Yeah, it's. It was a horrible, horrible thing when you found out that I thought for sure cuz it was on tv. NBC was gathering all these dudes up up, throwing him right in jail because he would always say you're free to go and they'd walk out and get tackled by the bushes.
- [49:56]
Brett
It was the best ghillie suit up there.
- [49:59]
John Holmberg
I had guys going to jail for years. Nope. Released usually the next day. And then they did that disclaimer at the end that said most of the guys were let go and nobody was charged with anything serious. And I'm like, what am I watching? It's the embarrassment show. It was the shame show, which I really like. But if the charges don't stick. And then the dude started fighting back. One killed himself right there on tv, and then the other dude started to sue. NBC sweatshirt because he was in Ohio. Brady. They were mostly from Ohio. Yeah. It was a. It's a pastime. It's on the state flag. A convoluted state flag. Has a little boy in the corner, like. Like, quivering. Oh. Oh, God. Once bitten. Seems about right.
- [50:48]
Brett
All right.
- [50:49]
John Holmberg
And Jack Russell and Great White are back out on the road. Except for Jack Russell.
- [50:52]
Brett
Minus Jack Russell. Yeah.
- [50:53]
John Holmberg
Jack Russell died. And the boys from Great White said.
- [50:58]
Brett
That'S not even.
- [51:00]
John Holmberg
Yeah.
- [51:00]
Brett
The guys from Great White, It's Jack Russell's band.
- [51:03]
John Holmberg
They decided to keep going.
- [51:05]
Brett
Yeah.
- [51:05]
John Holmberg
Without. And it was called Jack Russell's Great White.
- [51:08]
Brett
Yeah.
- [51:08]
John Holmberg
Like, he put his name on it on purpose.
- [51:10]
Toledo's Friend
They're like. They went to the band. You guys want to continue to play? We'll step in.
- [51:14]
John Holmberg
Well, I mean, Jack Russell was known to be a humongous prick, so they're probably happy not touring with him. And the tours are going to be more fun for them. But who wants to see Great White sing all of the songs that you've never heard outside of one? They had two songs total. Right. Once Bitten. And then like. Well, Katero would. You don't ask a fan.
- [51:36]
Brett
Right.
- [51:36]
John Holmberg
Because he. Oh, man. Actually rattled off about 12 big hits.
- [51:39]
Brett
Yeah. John Gordon will tell you.
- [51:41]
John Holmberg
John Gordon will say, oh, no. That first album topped about like. Nope. Nope. What were the hits? And they. Can't they get upset with it.
- [51:47]
Brett
What was the other one?
- [51:48]
John Holmberg
Oh, Rock me, Rock Me. And then you ask a fan of theirs.
- [51:51]
Brett
Yeah.
- [51:52]
John Holmberg
And they'd be like, well, that's why radio sucks is because they wouldn't play that stuff. Like, why we played Cinderella's Everything. Why would. Why were they shunned even back then when that stuff. How did you find out about your music back in 1988? Radio sucks because they didn't play a lot of great ones. White. You'd be surprised how many Great White songs you'd like. I would. I would. Because after two, I'd be shocked if any of them. If any of them grabbed me, especially now. But I was bitten. You can see the pictures of the bite on my ass from whatever beast snuck up my pant leg or perhaps laid naked with me in bed or got me on my outside on the turf. I don't know. I do a lot of ground sitting now with that turf because I don't have to worry about wet grass or stains or anything. Turf is.
- [52:42]
Toledo's Friend
Pants are on right when you're sitting on the turf.
- [52:44]
John Holmberg
Yeah, okay. But I don't wear drawers, so it's an easy sneak up that pant leg. I don't know. We'll do a little bit of this in honor of the late, great Jack Russell and his band that's touring without him. That's just proof they have no respect for him.
- [53:01]
Brett
Quiet Riot's doing it. There's not an original member in the band anymore.
- [53:05]
John Holmberg
That's the crazy thing about them, is that all the guys from the time that the songs were hits, they're. They don't. They're not.
- [53:11]
Toledo's Friend
It might be.
- [53:11]
John Holmberg
I don't know who these guys.
- [53:12]
Toledo's Friend
60 people in quiet.
- [53:14]
John Holmberg
Quiet. Right. Well, it's. You're down to like, five guys that, like, knew the original guys. They're like, on the third generation of it.
- [53:21]
Brett
Yeah.
- [53:21]
Toledo's Friend
The current band.
- [53:22]
Brett
Weird.
- [53:23]
John Holmberg
They might have known the lead singer, but it was at a reunion show. They never actually played together. It's Great White Touring this summer. It's Once Bitten, Twice Shy for my ass. It's 98. It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually.
- [53:36]
Toledo's Friend
No membership fee.
- [53:37]
John Holmberg
I have heard enough of this.

Dick Toledo
Monument Valley to Sedona, Horseshoe Bend, Grand Canyon, and more, you might think you've seen all Arizona has to offer. Well, I'd tell you, if you haven't been fishing in Arizona, you haven't seen a thing. It's Dick Toledo from Homework's morning sickness. And my first time fishing in Arizona was up in Greer with my friend Jeremy. He was the pro that I'm definitely not. But grabbing a fishing license that weekend was the passport that opened up the whole state to me. And you can get your license@azgfd.gov and discover for yourself a whole new way to take in the Arizona sites.
