Holmberg's Morning Sickness - Arizona: Rock Wars - Song To Welcome Our New Listeners From Cameroon And Djibouti (05-21-25)

Released on May 21, 2025

Overview

In this episode of Arizona's #1 Morning Radio Show, Holmberg's Morning Sickness hosted by John Holmberg, the team engages in lively discussions, shares personal anecdotes, and delves into their ongoing Rock Wars competition. A significant highlight is the welcoming of new listeners from Cameroon and Djibouti, prompting the hosts to brainstorm the perfect theme song to celebrate their expanding international audience. The episode is rich with humor, camaraderie, and insightful conversations that reflect the show's mission to entertain, question, and occasionally disturb its listeners.

---

1. Welcoming New Listeners from Cameroon and Djibouti

The primary focus of this episode revolves around celebrating the podcast's newfound popularity in Cameroon and Djibouti. John Holmberg enthusiastically shares the surprising success of their show in these regions, stating:

John Holmberg [07:38]: "We are number two in Cameroon and number two in Djibouti. I would like to have a song that lets the Jibootins and Cameroonians know that it's us."

This achievement leads the hosts to plan a special theme song that resonates with their African listeners, highlighting the show's global reach.

2. Personal Anecdotes and Building Friendships

a. The Jim Manley Incident

John Holmberg recounts an amusing and heartwarming story about inadvertently running over a listener's car. He explains:

John Holmberg [02:00]: "You may remember the story I told about three years ago. I ran over a man's car in a parking lot with my Jeep and didn't realize I'd done it. A valet had to tell me that I had."

Despite the mishap, Holmberg emphasizes the positive outcome:

John Holmberg [03:03]: "He and I have developed an occasional text friendship, an accidental friendship, an accident. I've seen him a couple of times. He's the most wonderful human being in the world."

This incident not only showcases Holmberg's candid nature but also highlights the unexpected friendships that can arise from unforeseen circumstances.

b. The Costco Story: Pretending to Be Mentally Challenged

Another humorous anecdote involves a plan to masquerade as someone with mental challenges to gain free entry or benefits. Holmberg describes the interaction:

John Holmberg [03:59]: "Brady's idea to go to Costco and have me pretend that I was mentally challenged. And then he kind of directed the whole thing."

Brady Bogen chimes in with reflections on the experience:

Brady [04:46]: "I definitely lost it when you said you were pretending to be mentally off and not a soul questioned it."

The story underscores the hosts' playful dynamics and their willingness to engage in unconventional antics for humor.

3. Rock Wars Competition

Rock Wars is a recurring segment where listeners participate in musical showdowns. In this episode, the competition takes on a special significance as the hosts seek a theme song to acknowledge their international listeners.

a. Theme Song Selection Process

The team debates various song options, aiming to find a tune that embodies their success and serves as a nod to their African audience. Holmberg suggests:

John Holmberg [10:04]: "A theme song to celebrate because we're having a big party here later for the podcast that none of us were invited to."

Brett Vesley proposes "We Are the World," aligning with the celebratory and unifying theme:

Brett Vesley [16:37]: "It's USA for Africa. We are the world."

Despite some comedic resistance, including fears of being reprimanded for selecting the song, the group leans towards "We Are the World" as a fitting homage to their global presence.

b. Humorous Banter and Final Selection

The hosts engage in playful teasing and creative input as they finalize their choice:

John Holmberg [16:55]: "We are the world. That's pretty good, Brett. You know, love is all we need."

Brett Vesley [16:55]: "I know. I will get fired for this one."

Ultimately, the consensus favors "We Are the World," reflecting both a serious acknowledgment of their listeners and the show's characteristic humor.

4. Podcast Party and Reflections on Success

A recurring theme in the episode is the juxtaposition of the hosts' success with their exclusion from certain celebratory events. Holmberg expresses frustration over not being invited to a sales party:

John Holmberg [08:26]: "Somehow or another, the show that actually gets the numbers wasn't really told about the podcast party. It's for sales."

This sentiment leads to a broader discussion about the show's achievements, particularly in Africa, and the challenges that come with unexpected popularity.

a. Success in Africa

Holmberg muses on their top rankings in Cameroon and Djibouti, blending pride with humor:

John Holmberg [10:14]: "We are the heartbeat of Africa."

This statement encapsulates the show's surprisingly influential presence in regions far from its Arizona base, prompting both admiration and self-deprecating jokes among the hosts.

b. Internal Team Dynamics

The conversation also touches upon the roles within the podcast team, with Holmberg acknowledging the contributions of his co-hosts:

John Holmberg [14:26]: "He does a lot for the podcast, I'll tell you that. That's an absolute truth. Nobody else wants to do it, but the sales department's having their big party."

This acknowledgment fosters a sense of teamwork and mutual respect, even amidst the humorous grievances about being sidelined from certain events.

5. Conclusion and Final Thoughts

As the episode draws to a close, the hosts reaffirm their commitment to entertaining their listeners, both local and international. Holmberg's desire to honor their African audience with a bespoke theme song underscores the podcast's growing global footprint. The episode concludes with a lighthearted rendition of their selected song, symbolizing unity and celebration.

John Holmberg [21:07]: "We are the World on this station."

Still streaming Homberg's morning sickness [e-mail] all.

[John Holmberg]

Right, it's disturbed right there. 25 years and counting on the sickness. Just did their anniversary for the Sickness album. Came out in 20. 25 year old album. Amazing. Speaking of, I have to say and he's been texting me this morning the world's greatest human being, the nicest man on the planet. You may remember the story I told about three years ago. I ran over a man's car in a parking lot with my Jeep and didn't realize I'd done it. A valet had to tell me that I had. I had. It's kind of valet's fault, but I did the work. He couldn't get my Jeep started because he couldn't figure out the auto start. I. It's a button. And so I got in the car. And the way valet guys park, they're so tight. They park so tight. And so I got the car started. I'm like, I'm in it now. I don't need you anymore. And the valet left. And as I'm driving away, I thought I hit a curb. Well, that was Alexis. The curb was Alexis. And I rolled over the front of it. I left a note. I wasn't gonna. I didn't know I hit it. The valet told me. And I'm like, well, you gotta leave a note. Left a note. This guy calls me. His name's Jim Manley, the best name ever, also. And he had a shirt on the other day that said, I'm Jim Porton, which I really enjoyed quite a bit. But Jim Manley, because I ran him over, he and I have develop a. An occasional text friendship, an accidental friendship, an accident. I've seen him a couple times. He's the most wonderful human being in the world. It's one of the nicest days of my life. Was. Was running this man's car over and leaving that note. He just is a pleasant human being. He celebrated his 55th birthday this weekend and just sent me video of the party.

[Brady]

He was drunk.

[John Holmberg]

He was drunk. It was fun. So happy birthday to Jim Manley. Also, before we move on, I told the story earlier, how Brady's. Brady's idea to go to Costco and have me pretend that I was mentally challenged. And then he kind of directed the whole thing. It was Brady's dark mind that came up with this. And I'm like, I don't know if it's a good idea, but okay. And then we pretend to fight the handicapped kid. Me and the thing. And I had mentioned that no one ever questioned my mental disabilities as I faked handicapped. In the thing, a guy emails and says hank is his name. I laughed hysterically this morning at your Costco wheelchair story. I definitely lost it when you said you were pretending to be mentally off and not a soul questioned it. The reason I laughed is because I'm going to rub salt in the wound. I used to do a similar thing at the movies to try to get in for free and was told immediately by a manager that I wasn't handicapped because, quote, you're too handsome. You're faking. But that didn't happen to you, did it? Juberg, thanks for the great story. Sorry about your face, Hank. Yeah, that's exactly what it was. Not a soul question whether I was mentally retarded or not. Not one. Not one. And I did not have makeup or props or anything. I just went in completely. And I say, Hank, that my acting is better than yours. That's all it was. It wasn't so much the look.

[Unknown]

Tropic Thunder said, you can't.

[John Holmberg]

You gotta go over commit. If you. You can't go full, you can't go full. That was the problem. You went full retard. You can't do it. I. Yeah, and that guy probably overdid it. You're acting. You were. You were too vaudevillian in your mentally retarded depiction. Not me. Here's another thing. To prove I'm ugly, and anybody that says I'm not isn't. I sat with a group of people and jokingly, but not jokingly, said, well, as a handsome person, it's hard for. And everyone at the table went like, I was trying to be serious for a second to see if I could get away with it. We weren't in a funny discussion.

[Unknown]

But.

[John Holmberg]

Being a handsome person, you find that, and immediately three other people at the table started laughing, and I'm like, I wasn't kidding. Oh, stop it. Yes, you would. We all have eyes. Idiot. Jackass. So, yeah, I had that going for me as well. Did I win Rock wars last week?

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, crap.

[Brett Veseley]

John Gordon.

[Unknown]

John Gordon.

[John Holmberg]

No, that's right. He picked me. I gotta come up with something there. Anyway, good luck with your attempts to be mentally in public and get away with it for laughs. I can do it without even trying. And happy birthday to Jim Manley, the nicest man in the world. Those are two great things. We got Rock wars coming up. I'll come up with something in a second. It's 98 KUPD.

All right, gotta go quick because I'm late on this one. Is my fault. Rock wars this week we have discovered Brett. This is a test of Brett Vesley and his professionalism.

[Brett Veseley]

Good luck.

[John Holmberg]

Not you so much. Him over there for sure. We have found out this week that our brand new podcast, the Home bird archives, whatever that thing is. Yeah, it's doing fine here in the states. We're in like the top 100. Don't know how that happened. Seemingly good numbers. I don't know what works. We are number two in Cameroon and number two in Djibouti. I would like to have a song that lets the Jibootins and Cameroonians know that it's us. A theme song to celebrate because we're having a big party here later for the podcast that none of us were invited to. Somehow or another, the show that actually gets the numbers. Wasn't really told about the podcast party. It's for sales.

[Brett Veseley]

Yeah, we didn't get invited.

[John Holmberg]

Evidently they're rolling in dough over this thing. We haven't heard a word about it, but. So they're excited about something. They're having a little get together timeout also. What the are we doing? Maybe we're not doing Rock Horse today. Maybe we just go home.

[Brett Veseley]

Might as well.

[John Holmberg]

The other morning show in this building has got to teach us something. I have not figured it out. They've already left. They left like an hour ago. I don't know if they played.

[Brett Veseley]

One of them left two hours ago.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, one of them was gone at 8, and then the other guys just took off at, like, 9.

[Unknown]

They're now splitting the show up.

[John Holmberg]

It's smarter. Whatever they're doing is working less. And I. I hate that I have all this pride to succeed and do well, because evidently that means that I have to stay here the whole time. How are they doing this? I need to be taught. And who.

[Brady]

How.

[John Holmberg]

What kind of deal do you make? And what kind of schedule are you on that you work from 6 until 10 and you still got some stuff you got to miss work for? You can't schedule around that. You've got all the other. I'm frustrated, I'll tell you that. We're here after 10 every morning. It's all this caring and desire to do well. It's getting in the way.

[Brady]

I didn't know it was an option.

[John Holmberg]

To leave before 10 without, like, a death in the family. Anyway, it's a good deal. I need a theme song for African success to play today at the podcast celebration to let everybody know we are successful, that I am Africa and they are me. Brett.

[Brett Veseley]

I'm not playing.

[John Holmberg]

Brett, you're in.

[Brett Veseley]

I'm not playing.

[John Holmberg]

Brett.

[Unknown]

No way.

[John Holmberg]

Our success canceled. Brett. No, that's up to you. That's where your professionalism kicks in. Yeah.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Brett Veseley]

You have been on me for how long now?

[John Holmberg]

Come. Exactly. And I'm trying to help you. Got it. You.

[Brett Veseley]

I think I got one.

[John Holmberg]

All right. He's got one. Good. I'm going to ban Lady Blacksmith, Mombazo, or whatever that thing is with Paul Simon. Brady. That's already good. Yes, it was. You haven't gone to your phone yet. It would have been African me. Oh, yeah. Paul Simon. Diamonds on the souls of her shoes. So that's it. So we'll get that together. Our success in Africa. If you'd like to help out. And it's weird. We don't get it either, but we're gonna play it today and say, by the way, to celebrate our new branch of homework's morning sickness in Djibouti and Cameroon, we're gonna play this. Be good.

[Brett Veseley]

I want to play you.

[John Holmberg]

It's not meant to be a joke. We're very successful in Africa. Just serious show.

Sickness it's time for the weekly battle.

[John Holmberg]

Of musical supremacy known only as Rock Wars. And it is upon us now and as always, brought to you by people whose papers I can't find. It's in here somewhere. Time no surprise to you by Mo Money Pawn. I should have this memorized by now. Everyone else does shorter long term collateral loans from $10 to over $100,000. No credit needed and top dollar paid. With the entire process just taking several minutes. Mo Money Pawn, 12th street and Indian School. The theme for today's super celebratory podcast sales party that we aren't even really invited to. That's Toledo. Was because he downloaded, I guess.

[Brett Veseley]

But aren't we all part of the archives?

[John Holmberg]

Hold on.

[Dick Toledo]

What do you mean, you guess?

[John Holmberg]

No, no, I'm just saying I guess. I mean, we're really working on it. He just moves. That's true. But I mean, we're the ones working. Like, you'd say, oh, he's working on it. He's the guy who does the. You wouldn't say the guy who's up there washing the windows on a high rise. Built it.

[Unknown]

You're invited to the grand opening.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Like, yeah, you can cut the ribbon, but let's be honest here. The nuts and bolts of the whole operation. This guy's just the recording. You might as well be over there with chat GPT. Although I will say we wouldn't be here. That's right.

[Brett Veseley]

He's still here.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's a good point. You wouldn't be home or you'd be at home. He does a lot for the podcast, I'll tell you that. That's an absolute truth. Nobody else wants to do it, but the sales department's having their big party. They're having some weird celebration because evidently they're making money and they're stupid.

[Dick Toledo]

So they're telling John we had a venue change already.

[John Holmberg]

What do you mean?

[Dick Toledo]

It was at lose and now it's.

[John Holmberg]

At a different place because we found out about it.

[Brett Veseley]

Yeah.

[Dick Toledo]

Is that why?

[John Holmberg]

I guarantee you that's why. Because they don't want us there. They're stupid. The sales department.

[Dick Toledo]

Wasn't I supposed to tell you?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And they shouted out, wow, we're making a ton of money off of them. And then they put out emails and didn't include us in it. We found out about it and like, oh, they know. Which. Because they know that if the guys with the hammer and nail start finding out that the building's going really well, we'll take it away from them.

[Dick Toledo]

Which is weird because I got three emails asking me, are you. You're gonna be there, right?

[John Holmberg]

You need to be. I haven't gotten one. I found out from any of you. I found it from you and Larry. Larry's an ad.

[Brett Veseley]

So we can write the listeners down. I mean, they support.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. Let's invite it. Get K. Momo's whole group over there. Maryvale.

[Dick Toledo]

If we get some Cameroonians there, free.

[John Holmberg]

Meal for anybody who mentions the podcast. If they find someone called Susan Karras, free meal. Just walk up to Susan and say, I Listen to the podcast and I want to celebrate. And then she'll say it's our turn, and then she'll fly away.

[Unknown]

I believe it. With chat. GPT. I can't.

[John Holmberg]

If they're making tons of money off of us and having parties about it and we're not invited. That's crooked. That's just sideways. Crooked. I'm gonna give it to her again. Don't tell the boys in the morning. What's going on? We're having a party, but if they find out, they'll want some of our precious. We can't know. So a theme song for. Let's say we burst into Lose or this anonymous location to tbd. And we celebrate the podcast, but we're celebrating our African success. What song plays the second this show barges in like a bunch of warlords and says we're number one in Africa. Almost. Brett, I'll let you go first.

[Brett Veseley]

I think that.

[Brady]

Behave.

[Brett Veseley]

All right, That's. I had to play it safe because there was some great suggestions that came in.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett Veseley]

So I figured that Bob, Bruce, Michael, and for some reason, Dan Aykroyd said it the best.

[John Holmberg]

What?

[Brett Veseley]

It's USA for Africa. We are the world.

[John Holmberg]

We are the world. That's pretty good, Brett. You know, love is all we need.

[Brett Veseley]

I know. I will get fired for this one.

[Dick Toledo]

Michael Keane.

[John Holmberg]

To sing the whole thing.

[Brett Veseley]

Dan Aykroyd rolled out of bed.

[Unknown]

Wild Cherry. Play that funky music.

[Brett Veseley]

White.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. Problem with that is, Brady, the podcast doesn't have music.

[Unknown]

Well, we're playing. This is the song for the podcast.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. Just saying. But we are the white.

[Unknown]

So then you couldn't play.

[Dick Toledo]

Play those Funky squares.

[Brady]

No, no, no.

[John Holmberg]

I'm saying. You're saying play that funky music, white boy, as if the Afghans are listening to the music.

[Unknown]

Right. Keep doing what you're doing.

[John Holmberg]

Making your scramble. Wild cherry. Is that who's saying that?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. Mine starts off perfectly.

[Dick Toledo]

Am I starting it from the beginning?

[John Holmberg]

I never heard it.

[Dick Toledo]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

And I'll give you the cue on it.

[Dick Toledo]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know if there's talking in it.

[Dick Toledo]

I don't either. I didn't. Wasn't able to pre. Listen.

[John Holmberg]

Excellent work. I told you what I was gonna pick when I announced this. I want to come in the door. Brett to my right, Brady to my left, and Toledo in the car. He'll be at lose and just say, hey, everybody, Congratulations for all the podcast success. Number one in Africa, because I am Africa. I am Africa from Book of Mormon. I am Africa. A bunch of white guys come in and celebrate.

[Dick Toledo]

You gotta go see.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, this is too good. They celebrate their incredible powers in Africa as whites.

[Dick Toledo]

Right. You really gotta.

[Brady]

We are the heartbeat of Africa.

[John Holmberg]

Nothing better than this song with a bunch of white people celebrating in a place called blues. Oh, it's coming back at you. It is. You have this. Get tickets. Unsolicited unpaid endorsement of the funniest thing I have ever watched. I left angry because it's so much funnier than anything I could ever think of. It's Trey Parker and Matt. Trey and Matt. Africa. And they're celebrating white people being Africa like, just like Bono. It's.

[Unknown]

It is.

[Dick Toledo]

[John Holmberg]

A phenomenal show. And I am Africa is our theme song, boys. Sean Knight, I'm going to leave it up to you because we don't have time for votes. Who would you like to see as the winner this week? Sean Knight filling in for Larry and John Gordon. All right, we're going to give it to you, Holmberg. I win with I am Kisser.

[Unknown]

Ass kisser.

[John Holmberg]

Everybody assumes it's an ass kisser. You know what, though, Sean? I'm going to defer my win because I want to hear we are the World. I'm going to give my win to Brett because that's what a decent white person does in Africa. Thank you. They give their bounty to a lesser fortunate person.

[Dick Toledo]

Good spin.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Here's an old jersey I don't want anymore. And my loaf of bread. You poor, poor person.

[Dick Toledo]

[John Holmberg]

I mean, I. Yeah. Oh, I still won. Yeah. Yeah, but I did want to hear we are the World. Haven't heard it for a while. And this definitely.

[Larry McFeely]

Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with my friend Wayne from Amco. And Wayne, if my car has an extended warranty, do I have to take it back to the dealer for service?

[Wayne]

No, Larry, if you have an extended service contract, you can use it at any amco.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, it's nice to have other options.

[Wayne]

I'll say. Amco has dealership quality rental cars, no hassles and faster service.

[Larry McFeely]

Amco does more than just transmissions, right?

[Wayne]

Right. If you need car repairs or hear fe, you'll see, smell, or even think you have a car issue, call Amco first.

Just Google Amco for your nearest location. That's Amco double A MCO transmissions and a whole lot more.
