Brady
Still streaming Homburg's morning sickness online@98kupd.com that guy Brett brought up Guy Scary during the break. For those of you who have no taste buds or a reasonable bar for quality anything Guy Ferry's restaurants offering a 1999 all you can eat at the Horseshoe in Vegas. First of all, you got to go.
Brett Veseley
To the HorseShoe in Vegas.
Brady
Second, all I can eat at a Guy Fieri places half A plate of whatever he gave me before I started vomiting. Flavortown. Yes. But they forget to tell you. It's horrible. Flavor town. Like, the flavors are awful. Doesn't mean sometimes flavors are gross. Yeah. Oh, you'll get some flavor. And a lot of it is bile when it comes back. Guy Fieri. Yeah, we were just talking off there about, like, Instagram, like, plate. Like, Brady said something about alcohol company, like, bars and stuff. Nobody socializing. Happy hours are. Happy hours are in a struggle.
Larry McFeely
And workers, you know, at companies don't hang out as much.
Brady
You don't do the five o' clock walk away. You know whose fault that is? Women. And that's not to say. Actually, I'm not gonna blame him 100%. It's dude's fault for not reading the room. It's women's fault for ratting us out. For years and years, you'd go out with your co workers to try to hook up. And then that changed, and guys kept trying, and women kept saying, we're not. We don't want to be harassed at work. I guess there's danger, so you can't talk to them. So we went through that whole me too thing where we stopped talking to them, and then. Good Lord, no. You're not going to ask anybody at work. Hey, you want to go grab a drink after work? You imagine that you hit her on the wrong day. You end up in a courtroom. It's like, what just happened? I just said she wanted. Why would you think she wants to have a drink with you? I don't know. I was treating her the same way I would Brett. Sometimes Brett and I go have a drink after work. That whole equality at work thing has never been real at all. Because I'll tell you right now, you can't pretend to be equal at work with. With the dynamic. It's always sexual, even when it's not because you can't sit back, hey, Brady, Brett, let's go out and have some lunch afterwards. But I've done it. God forbid you go to a lunch with just one of the girls from sales. The other girls start talking, they're the ones that get upset. Oh. Oh. You and Jen Gardner went to lunch today. Oh, like what? Yeah, we had a meeting. We what? Yeah. Oh, wait a minute. No, the dudes are doing this. They just kind of get it. Like, it's not always about boning you.
Brett Veseley
But if you go up to Ed and take him for drinks and it's.
Brady
Not a big deal, and I'm nailing it. Yeah, well, yeah, I'm bending him right over. He's gonna. When he's struggling to get in the Jeep, I'm pushing him in from behind. I'm giving Ed the goods and he's gonna come back in there and go, God, you really hard. I'm like, sorry, I have a good day. Can't do that with any lady co workers. But that's why happy hours are struggling from work perspective is you can't take people from work out anymore. It's risky. You used to be able to leave work and work was over and whatever happened at the Applebee's stayed like, ah, it's kind of just got a little drunk, no big deal. Now it's like, no, that's a work event. You can't go drinking with these people. And you don't even remember it. You'll be in an office the next day. I did a. What? You said something about always wanting to see my. I did. That came out of my mouth. Yes. I had been drinking and I guess some of my outside voice, inside voice, confusion. I'm sorry. It's too late for apologies. Oh, no, now I'm pee diddy.
Brett Veseley
I mean, they do look amazing.
Brady
But can I see them before I get fired? Can't do it. And you don't just get fired, you get sued and they can't get another job. So that's why happy hour struggle is because it used to be sort of fun to hang out with your co workers and now it's just like this tiptoe on eggshells because can't be normal like everybody and it's arrogance. Everybody thinks their co workers want to them. That's not true. It's just not true.
Larry McFeely
They're also noticing it in universities. Like the professors are saying, you know, they go to class and go back home.
Brady
Yeah, well, they, they See, that's the. That's the old man.
Larry McFeely
That's the. Again the commentary and the.
Brady
Yeah, but that's the old man in all of us. That's us looking at the next generation going, they're doing it on that. And they're doing it different. They're doing it different. They socialize different than us. They socialize through phones and, and iPads and computer screens and all that. That's their social. And it's not wrong. It's different. So we. The. The fastest way to make sure your happy hour is great is to put up a picture wall. Put up a very fancy wall with like wings painted on it so when you stand in front of it, it looks like you've got wings or like super amounts of flowers. You know, make it.
Larry McFeely
Make it like inside too, huh? Outside of the place and in.
Brady
You gotta have places where people will Instagram themselves into thinking they're taking a photo. That's unique. But there's 700 million of them. Yeah. And then people know the place. That's how you'll know. And then hot girls will go there. Influencers. And then the next thing you know, you've done your own marketing. You can't just have happy hour up here at Gypsy's anymore and expect a new breed of people to come in. Now, the people who almost pulled that off was that Tempe Tavern. Cause they're like, we came up with a good business plan to give children drinks and look at the business. And it was booming until it wasn't. What if we started feeding people who don't have I.D. d's alcohol? Geez, that's. You know what? That's got legs, my friend. Nobody else is doing that. But yeah, that's how you get around this. I'm sure your Matthias got like a built in group of dudes in their 50s. They're going to bars.
Brett Veseley
40S and 50s. Yeah.
Brady
If you're looking to get happy hour kicked up with people who are in their 20s, you got to have Instagram friendly stuff. That Maple and Ash place has it figured out. Every nook and cranny of that place is another spot. You see girls in that side pose with their knee up in front of their other leg so they look skinnier than they actually are. Standing in front of some wall of flowers, acting like.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, wall of flowers. Or a nice ivy in the background.
Brady
Yeah, something going on on the walls that should be outside, but it's inside. And then they take pictures and they think that they're the only ones who ever thought of that. And then you go online and it's like 7 million people in front of that picture wall and it's a 17.
Brett Veseley
Minute photo shoot because they got to hold the phone at the right angle so they don't look fat and can't see the double chin and everything else.
Brady
And well, there's nothing worse than going to a restaurant and seeing those, even women who aren't Instagram crazy. You know, people our age wives can't go by a wall of like roses.
Jen
We should take a picture in front of that.
Brady
We have to take a photo in front of that. They're drawn to it like bees to flowers. I think they want to pollinate. Chicks cannot walk past a decorative wall without wanting to stand in front of it and memorialize it for the rest of their lives. And it's never a picture they care about again. Catch. In Vegas, there's a hundred foot hallway with three stops for photographs and you can't get through. Like it bogs it bottlenecks because people have got to be in that. And it's the same picture. It's the most uninteresting human beings ever. The only thing I look at with the generation of Instagrammers is how boring they are. And that's the last thing they want to be called how dull you all actually are. Some of you look great, but you're dull. You're taking the same photo 900 other people took in the same pose, in the same clothes, with the same look on your face. And there's no thought or originality or fun to you whatsoever. You are just, I don't know, one of the mono thinkers.
Larry McFeely
People are living just unbelievable lives.
Brady
Yeah. And that's the thing you're. Because you're boring. You have to pretend through photographs that you're having a great life, but you're boring and you know it. And that's the sad. That's the worst thing you can be. There's two things you can be that are just detrimental to your humanity. One, bad at your job. Two, dull. You're wasting it. You're a dull person. And it's. To me, I see it as a sadness. I better take some photos to make myself look happy later so I can remember how much fun I am. Look at us smiling. Back when I was younger, before the Internet, I would always judge a girl based on how many photos were on her fridge, that is an unhappy household. If your fridge was coated with pictures of you and your boyfriend and it was all up and down the freezer, and you couldn't open the fridge without one of the magnets flying off pictures hitting the ground. That was a daily reminder for you that things aren't so bad. You just needed to see yourself smiling a million times before you reached in and ate that last red velvet cupcake. When your fridge was covered with how happy you are, you're sad. And that's what Instagram became. The refrigerator door. There's just no magnets involved.
Brett Veseley
Jeff brings up the. The wings on the wall and they had. They stand in front of it.
Larry McFeely
Oh, yeah.
Brett Veseley
F My life with the wings on the wall.
Brady
Oh, if a woman sees wings on a wall, she gotta stand in front of that. And you've got to take 9 pic wait, wait, wait. Here's my phone. And she hands you a phone that immediately goes back to the home screen.
Brett Veseley
Yeah.
Brady
And.
Larry McFeely
Or locks.
Brady
And locks. Son of a bitch. I don't have.
Jen
Will you take our picture? Here's a phone that no longer works as a camera.
Larry McFeely
Need your face.
Brady
I'm gonna go ahead and just hand it back before I even look and make sure that. Did I blink?
Brett Veseley
I don't know.
Dick Toledo
Stand over.
Jen
I look fat in that one.
Brady
No, you look fat. That's the problem. It's not the. It's not the photograph. It's.
Brett Veseley
You look Broadzilla.
Larry McFeely
Relax.
Brady
You're blocking the phone. If you look like. You look like a goddamn dragon with these wings. You're too big. You're not a bird. If there's.
Larry McFeely
You're getting off the ground.
Brady
No way. Only two wings is gonna get. You need those mosquito rods. The second pair behind them.
Larry McFeely
You're no fun.
Jen
Hey, you're a dick.
Brady
I'm not the sad one trying to make my life look better on Instagram than it actually is. Wing walls.
Brett Veseley
Oh, if there's a neon light on that decorative wall, forget about it. They're all doing the same exact goddamn pose.
Brady
I just see it. You. You can judge me on it. I'm judging you. I'm fine if you don't like my take on this, but I see you as dull. The second you stand in front of that. I immediately see. Oh, no. Personality only does what she sees other people doing. She has no original thoughts. They. He too. Some dudes do it. He has no original thought. All you have to do to have a successful bar today, open it in the right location and paint a wall pink. Holberg's morning sickness.

Brady
If you have a shock pink wall with a neon sign that says Phoenix, you're getting a ton of people in there.
Brett Veseley
Or pink wings on the wall.
Brady
Oh, God forbid you put wings on that thing.
Larry McFeely
The eye opener for me this year was prom.
Brady
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
I mean when you went.
Brady
You went to prom.
Larry McFeely
High school. I did. I got to go again my 17th.
Brady
Did you close?
Larry McFeely
No. But when Kirby went to prom and you basically back in the day, you'd go to prom. You take. Your parents would want to take couple pictures, five minutes.
Brady
Sure.
Larry McFeely
When you pick up your date or.
Brady
Whatever, you get a picture at each house. Yeah, that one.
Larry McFeely
Parents were there at the place for.
Brady
An hour and a half with ring lights and like poses and. Yeah. Places.
Larry McFeely
At least an hour and a half.
Brady
Yeah. I think when you get like you get in front of a wall, like I would paint Vishnu's arms and no middle and watch the Instagram broads lose their ever loving minds and then. And then they wouldn't have anything else to talk about. Reincarnation and eastern Indian philosophy and medicine from there and yoga, they'd be annoying as hell. But the 10 things that they all talk about, the categories of boredom, I just find it dull. I like original thought. I like people.
Larry McFeely
They got wings and neon signs. The decorative wall out front of Planned Parenthood is amazing.
Brady
You know what? They should have stirrups. And like, you lay down in front of the wall and put your. Your feet up on the stirrup wall.
Brett Veseley
Thumbs up.
Brady
And then just a blood splat on the wall. Now that. See, Brady, this is why it's fun to hang out with you. We're having a good talk about something super creative. Wings on a wall. You know what they should do is wings on a wall next to just a big white wall with wings. Baby little tiny ones. And then you hold up a doll in front of the wings and you take a picture before you go in, sending one to heaven. Now that's an Instagram shot. Yeah. So I mean, they're talking about happy hours dying. And you know, nobody young socializes and.
Larry McFeely
Going out to eat.
Brady
Co workers can't do it. Well, going out to eat's been replaced. They're fine. Doordash is made up tenfold for if you get a good restaurant, you're going to be fine. There's too many places to go. That's the reason they're saying nobody goes out. That's not true. People go out like crazy. They go out like crazy. There's just. Nobody's dominating. It's just milked out. But yeah, the. Yeah, that just paint a wall, put some flowers on it, and you've got something, man, you're gonna have. They're gonna start showing up now. The problem is you're gonna have to start charging for the wall because they don't hang around and drink and do stuff like that. It'll mess up their makeup. They'll bloat. Then they got to go to that next wall that everybody goes through to take pictures. And they can't be all trashed. They gotta take a hundred pictures of themselves before the night's over. That's the goal. You need picture booths. You need to charge for photos. That's the future of happy hours. And then they might stick around and then you have. That's a great idea. If somebody's out there right now and you can get a warehouse space. Every five feet is another themed wall photo. Are you crazy? We'd call it Drinkstagram and just have a bar in the middle of Drinkstagram. And every. Every section of every wall is another photo wall. They would line up. Oh, and all of them would be in line like it's Disneyland. Taking the same goddamn picture in the same God. The person in front of them.
Larry McFeely
You could have the insta. Insta drink around the world. Just different themes.
Brady
Oh, and that you, you have the travel section, you have the fantasy section section. You pose with Marvel comic people. You have Rose wall. Drinkstagram is a great idea cuz it takes the dull.
Larry McFeely
Yep.
Brady
And it keeps them occupied for a full hour or two. They're going to need to drink. Plus it gets it all out in one place. You go and copy. Go on Instagram and find a hot girl and then her first ten pictures will be the ten places girls go. And then you just copy those. It's like the field of dreams. This one's shaped like Fenway. This one shaped like. Remember, this one's in Nashville. You can do it here. Tell people you were there. Who cares? Lie. This one is in Europe. This is the wall in London. This is the Berlin Wall. This is India. And you just, you shoot them down the Instagram walls of fame. And they don't have to travel. They can do it all at your private plane wall. Yeah, A wall with a picture like they're looking out into the ocean. Turks and Caicos Beach. You can do whatever you want. But yeah, that's the, that's the future. And everybody keeps wanting to do like, maybe it's the drink specials. It's like, no, it's not. It's. You're still trying to do what 45 year old people liked at bars. And that's over people under 28. They're not looking at bars the same way we did. And we're still trying to sell them our way. It doesn't work at all. In fact, you should make it so a bar. You're not allowed to talk to anybody face to face. Everywhere you sit has a FaceTime screen and you can beep into that table through the FaceTime. You don't even have to walk up to a girl. Hey, can I get you a drink or take your photo of doing something dull.
Larry McFeely
I forget which one it was. Remember you had phones at your table?
Brady
Oh yeah.
Larry McFeely
You could call the other.
Brady
What was that burger place around the corner? Around the corner.
Brett Veseley
Southern and Animal School.
Brady
That's right. And it was awful. They never. I never once got anything right there.
Brett Veseley
The big red phone there.
Brady
Yeah. You'd pick up the phone. It's like, huh, Burger please. No mayonnaise, just cheese. Okay. And then a dude would roll over with grilled chicken. I'm like, what just happened? I like the old way. That was supposed to be the future too. This is better than waiters just. You phone into the cooks. Could you imagine that? Today I got my phone, the kitchen. You guys ready to. Yeah. Two around the corner. Burgers and fries, English. Oh crap. We're have to write him a note. Yeah, I got good ideas for this though. But yeah, I've seen that before. They start talking about, you know, how do we get. These Young people don't drink. Yeah, they don't. They want to take pictures of themselves. That's all they do. Have you seen them? They never aim that camera at anyone else. I let a girl at the rah Rah room that night, she's like, are those those meta glasses? I'm like, yeah. She pops them on and the first thing she did, take a picture of herself in the mirror with the glasses. Like you didn't take a picture of anything else. She's normal.
Mo
Cancer.
Brady
She's the one I talked about before. That actually works hard. Like she's different. I'm pretty sure she likes taking pictures of herself. That would. She's young. You can't get through it. Put wings on a wall. They suck in there like it's a maggot.
Jen
Take a picture of me.
Brady
Why?
Jen
I want to look like every other person my age ever.
Brady
Okay.
Jen
I have no unique thoughts.
Brady
Okay, stand in front of that wall then. Just like all the rest of you.
Larry McFeely
Oh man, that'd be hilarious to hear.
Brady
You know what? I'm gonna get a neon sign above the wings that say, you have no unique thoughts.
Jen
That's so deep.
Brady
Yeah, you don't get it.
Brett Veseley
What does it mean?
Brady
Stand in front of the wings?
Jen
It's gotta mean nothing. It says the word unique and that's how I describe myself on my tinder. You have no unique thoughts. God, that's so meta.
Brady
Yep, it is so meta. Wings on a wall. Vishnu dragon wings. You don't want to do the weird thing like they do in Vegas where you're actually like standing next to celebrities. I do give them credit for that. They don't try to do. They try to fool you with where they are, not who they're with. Because in their minds, they're the biggest celebrity in the picture. You wouldn't put them up there and go, it looks like you're with Jason Momoa. They don't care about that. They want to be in the picture. If a 25 year old girl a picture with Jason Mamoa, the first thing she do when she looked at her phone is zoom in on herself to make sure she looks okay. And if she doesn't, nobody's seeing that picture of her and Jason Mamoa ever has nothing to do with who she's with. It's how she looks.
Brett Veseley
You mean the street performers in Vegas? That what you're talking about?
Brady
But no, just if you ran into Jason. Oh, that's weird. But if you, like, actually ran into Jason Mamoa in Vegas and you got a picture with him. No girl is posting that if she doesn't look.
Brett Veseley
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Brady
It's not about who you're with. It's about where you are and what you're doing.
Larry McFeely
That's why they practice.
Brady
Yeah. They know the right, but it's the sadness. It's the sadness of displaying a life you're actually not living. And that's why drinkstagram is such a great idea, because we can put you in all those famous Instagram wall places. You don't have to leave Drinkstagram. You can just do it one after another after another. You don't have to travel. You don't have to spend any of the money. You don't have to try to go over to Kentucky and stand in front of that famous wall of wings. You have to go over to LA to stand in front of that weird pink wall in the warehouse district that everybody stands in front of. That thing in Milwaukee that just.
Brett Veseley
Oh, the bean in Chicago.
Brady
Keep Portland weird. You don't have to stand in front. And most of the time it's just graffiti art on the side of a wall. They don't, like, do touristy things. Except for that's now tourists go to Maryville.
Brett Veseley
You want graffiti on the wall?
Brady
Drinkstagram. I'm gonna open Drinkstagram next week. It's too good. And all you gotta do is pay a cover charge, 25 bucks to get in. You take a picture, go round the Drinkstagram, take all the pictures you want, and then at the end, just sign the sheet that admits you're boring.
Brett Veseley
Problem is, they don't drink. You have to serve Adderall and Xanax instead of Cosmopolitan Bud Light.
Brady
I can do that. I'll just go over to the Tempe Tavern and go, hey, guys, I know you can't serve alcohol English, so I know what you're up to. Can I get some of your Adderall? I got a big group of people coming in for photos. That is true too. Yeah. And a vape like safe vaping. They like getting stoned. And then, you know, so many, so many theme opportunities. Tons.
Larry McFeely
Gym photos.
Brady
Oh, tons.
Larry McFeely
Swole.
Brady
Yeah, but that's like costume. They. They want to look pretty in front of it.
Larry McFeely
Like Instagram.
Brady
Take your files, but all of them have something in neon above the photo that reminds me that I'm telling these dull people how dull they are. Life is dull in neon. They still would take a picture under that.
Jen
That's so true. I have nothing to think Holberg's Morning.

Brady
Yeah, if I see another girl stand in front of wing wall for a while there it was similar and it's been a problem before Instagram. For a while there it was a wife, girlfriend, fiance issue and he started to notice. In every city, we've talked about this, in every city in America that has a decent park, somebody built the love thing. Four letters stacked on each other. You could not swing a dead cat, not hit a recently engaged girl who had dressed her new boyfriend, a potential husband up and Merlot sweaters and slacks to match so they could sit in front of that love sign and act like they had come up with a new idea. The absolute lack of creativity and housewife, fiance and Instagram girl brains for photography is remarkable. All you had to do for a little while in the 90s and 2000s we got engaged was have a love sculpture L O V E where the lo is stacked on the ve and the L's kind of crooked.
Jen
Not perfect but it's love.
Brady
And then they you could not get these girls not to dress their boyfriends up and drag Them over there. Oh, it still happens. It's women in their 40s. The young ones stay away from that because that's mom stuff. The girls on Instagram remember seeing the picture of their depressed moms trying to remind themselves that things weren't so bad with a photo of the family in front of love.
Jen
God damn it. Maybe this will spark something. Look how happy we are. Love.
Brady
Yeah. Think of all the things that depressed women have in their houses. You know those same plaques from Marshalls dance like no one's watching. Happiness is what we make it. It's always just little subtle reminders that they're depressed. Wing wall. Let's start it. Let's talk to Matthia, and maybe we'll paint up and turn her bar into drinks to Graham. I'll kick in on that.
Brett Veseley
All right.
Brady
If I'd have bought the swizzle in which finally did get purchased. The price. The price was ridiculous. The people from the Rusty Spur bought it. Oh, they'll be fine, which is good. The price was insane. That old. That old lesbian was out of her mind trying to sell it for what she was.
Brett Veseley
She took him.
Brady
She got him.
Brett Veseley
Yeah.
Brady
So I was looking into that, but I did that. Now. Drinkstagram would have happened. That's the thing. Now, a unique idea I did see is Sydney Sweeney.
Larry McFeely
Her bath.
Brady
Selling her bath water. And she's recently taken a bath and then said, you know, people would buy this. The water that cleansed my anus and body parts and armpits. And so she scooped it up, put it in cups, and starting to. She wants to sell it. And I started to think, has there ever been any celebrity at all? Like, dudes talk. Like, I'd drink her bath water. I'd eat the corn out of her. We say, terribly awful garbage. Is there any celebrity at all? Cause I knew Brett because I started thinking about this. I'm like, brett will go, what is do it. I'm like, geez. But I think I'd drink it. I don't think I'd keep it.
Brett Veseley
Oh, I'd be doing shots of Margot Robbie's bath water. Are you kidding me?
Brady
Cheers. I don't think it would be a memento for me. It would be a drink. Like, I'd mix it. I'd like, could I get a pitcher? Like, how much is a pitcher? Because then I could pour it and, like, put it in, and then later I'd use it again, like vodka and dua. And I drink that. I don't know that that's something that a norm. I think it means you're a serial killer. If you want that. And you're not gonna. I don't think. I think when it showed up, I'd regret it immediately. How much is she charging? Does it say bucks? $8 a cup or.
Larry McFeely
Yeah, well, they're bad.
Brady
That's pretty decent.
Larry McFeely
I guess they're gonna do it in a bar, too. Like a soap bar. Oh, because it's. Dr. Squatch is the.
Brett Veseley
Well, that's what the name is. Too close to watch.
Brady
Water. I don't think. Water.
Larry McFeely
Bliss.
Brady
It's a soap.
Larry McFeely
This one says it will also be available in a soap for limited time. $8 each online for the soap. June 6th only.
Brady
Okay. So you get to. Bar soap. So they're making soap out of her bath water. You can't just buy drinkables because it keeps saying Sydney Sweeney selling her bath water.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Brady
So she.
Larry McFeely
She brought up the point. She goes. Fans always joke about wanting my bath water.
Brady
Right. They're not fans. They're stalkers and murderers.
Larry McFeely
It's so funny.
Brett Veseley
So dirty bath water. They're turning into soap. All right.
Brady
Yeah, it smells.
Larry McFeely
It's got an earthy moss.
Brady
Yeah.
Larry McFeely
Kind of smell as Dr. Squatch describes it. Morning wood.
Brady
Okay, here's what I need to know. Here's one.
Brett Veseley
Did you write that?
Brady
No. This is all Brady puns. And yeah, here's what I need to know. Like, and you would probably want to know this for Margot Robbie, too. And Brady For. For Mrs. Butterworth. Like, what was she doing before the bath? Is it just a regular day? Or did Sydney go hiking? Or did she.
Larry McFeely
Is she post workout?
Brady
Did she break out, like, you know, bikram yoga and, like, then did a toxic.
Larry McFeely
Mossy, vinegary.
Brady
And possibly sat in a. In a sauna and put her feet in one of those things that turns the water black and sucks the toxins out and then got into the bathtub in her worst condition. Did she just get hosed?
Unknown
Yeah.
Brett Veseley
Did Rico blaze?
Brady
Yeah. What is going on? Where is she in the menstruation cycle? Oh, yeah. Exactly. What kind of bathwater am I getting? And is one extra or the other?
Larry McFeely
Okay, so this real bath water from her photo shoot. So it's after.
Brady
So she's clean. And she got in for a modeling shoot and then said, we should sell this bathwater.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Brady
Because it'll be, like, pictures she's hoping will be memorable of her in the bathtub. And you can own that. So it's like owning a piece of the Super Bowl's turf a little bit.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Brady
In her mind, even though Sydney Sweeney's. She's a passing fancy for America, I think she's pretty. Like, she's got great cans. She's in good shape. I'm looking forward to her movie about Christy Martin, the boxer. That's going to be pretty good. That story is pretty remarkable. Christy Martin story is amazing. Google it. But, yeah, if selling her bathwater, I need to know what she's been doing. Because if Dua Lipa. Well, no, just finished a show, got hosed, and was on her period, I don't want that bath water. But if she, you know, had a day at work, couple rehearsals, and just wanted to soak in a bath and relax and run on day 11 after the last bleeding, she's in the middle. Nothing bad going on down there.
Brett Veseley
Yeah, I think a levitating video shoot, you'd take that.
Brady
That. She probably worked pretty hard there. That's a lot of Albanian sweat. What if you got it and it stunk?
Brett Veseley
What if she was shaving her legs in that water, too?
Larry McFeely
Hey, it's great.
Brady
Got that gritty sand.
Brett Veseley
It's like facial scrub.
Larry McFeely
It's dew is pumice.
Brady
And there's like a. And you find out she's like lava soap. You find out she's got, like. She doesn't shave, so there's like a pube hair in the middle of your soap.
Brett Veseley
Like, well, she is Armenian. I mean, there's going to be lots of hair.
Brady
She grows it. I think this is. This is. I think it's immediately creepy to, like, have it. Like, to desire it. So I think it's almost sort of a. It's almost like a beacon to, like, dudes. Like, I just blamed all those girls for being uninteresting. Every guy who would, like, think this is a good idea to own is borderline psychotic. Like, that's. Didn't you watch Selena? You don't want to invite them close, closer. The fans lose their minds. They get too close. Next thing you know, they've got a taste of you with bath water and soap and stuff. And then they're gonna be standing outside the Dakota waiting for you and Yoko to come home.
Larry McFeely
And you can enter now. A raffle. Be one one of 100 lucky winners to get a free bar.
Brett Veseley
Oh, let's enter Toledo. D. Toledo 98 cables.
Brady
Let's enter Toledo is a great band name. It has meaning to us. That's different than. But let's Enter Toledo is a great band name. A great family that might be the one that I go with forever. I Love that. Yeah, it's just weird. Scrolling Facebook. And I was reading the headline when you started talking about it. Sydney Sweeney's Bathwater. It's happening. Yeah, it's. It's kind of going all over the place. This one says, sydney Sweeney will stop being popular once she stops showing her cans to us. Just like the girl from Game of Thrones. Fact. Remember the girl from Game of Thrones? The Queen of dragons, the Mother of dragons, Daenerys. She wouldn't stop showing us her cans and her sweet little body. At first, she's getting railed by Momoa in the beginning and Khaleesi. And then Khaleesi at the end was like, I'm not gonna show you those anymore. And she can't get a job. I had forgotten her name.
Larry McFeely
She had to walk the earth.
Brady
Huh.
Larry McFeely
She was like, after she stopped showing the cans, the rest of Game of Thrones.
Brady
Oh, yeah.
Larry McFeely
She was her just hiking around.
Brady
Well, she was still hot. And there was still hope that maybe she'd change her mind before the season was over. There might be a chance I'm done with nudity. Cause for a while, first couple seasons of Game of Thrones, she was naked all the time, and it was great. Well. And I used to know her name. I was excited for her future. Like her career was gonna go crazy.
Larry McFeely
And you're hanging in there because Stoneman has blue balls. Is he ever gonna get action of that?
Brady
In a perfect give and take it away kind of mentality, she showed us everything. She had the crazy blonde hair and then everything we liked about her. She said, you're never gonna see that again. She went to natural like she went to jail. Like Jodi Arias's hair. It's just natural brown hair. She doesn't look nearly as good. And she won't show us her boobs anymore. Like being married.
Brett Veseley
I think about. What was it? Lily, the AT T broad. As soon as anybody made anything about her cans, she's gone. Nobody cares.
Brady
Good point. Lily's gone.
Larry McFeely
And then they brought her back.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett Veseley
And then she was covered up in, like, sweaters and everything.
Brady
She looked like Billie Eilish standing in front of countertops that were five feet. Yeah, but the second she got lippy about. Is that all I am to you? It's like, hey, yes, you're the one in the tight shirts. It's not our fault. We like them. You like my breasts? Oh, we really like them. Well, you'll never see them again. All right, you're fired from AT&T. I don't even know who does it anymore. I think it's just some little orange blob.
Unknown
Hey, I'm Lippy from AT&T.
Brady
I don't have, but if I did, I'd show them to you. That's right. The second Sydney Sweeney gets a little full of her. And I gotta hand it to Sydney, so far, she's like, this is where my bread's buttered. Are you crazy? I got good ones and I'm showing em props to her. Yeah, completely. You know, the second she starts saying, I'm not doing this anymore. All right, well, they're not gonna pay attention anymore. It's John Holmberg here. Time to talk about TV's Doug Hopkins of My Home Group and dough hopkins.com TV's Doug Hopkins. He has built and established his brand and company in a way that just has no competition.

Brady
Holmberg's morning sickness. There's cautionary tales about this in careers. You could do it the other way or Halle Berry Drove us nuts. We wanted to see him so bad. And she's like, you'll never see these. They don't have enough money. And like, damn, those must be great. And then finally in Swordfish, 75 grand a can for a second. Blip, blip. We saw him. And then she's like, well, now that you've seen him, watch this monsters ball. Boom.
Brett Veseley
And then there's the flip side of it too. The ones you wanted to see. And then you seen Drew Barrymore and.
Brady
You'Re like, oh, Drew Barrymore's price put the top is the tough one. And her career changed for all men. She became. You know what's crazy about that?
Larry McFeely
I wanted syrup.
Brady
Oh, yeah, because you had your Buttersworth fancy again. Yeah, I think I was with you on that one. I think I'd bang Mrs. Butterworth. The crazy thing about Drew Barrymore's career was. And it was boob related. I'm an observer. I see things for what they really are. I'm not going to try to dance around it. Drew Barrymore was. A lot of dudes had their eyes on Drew Barrymore. She was kind of sexy, she was flirty, she's fun, she's very cute. She showed everybody her flapjacks and Playboy. Shortly after that, she became like a hero to only women.
Brett Veseley
Yeah.
Brady
Dudes just got off the train.
Brett Veseley
They jumped off the train. It was. They didn't wait for even the train station.
Brady
She had to become girl power. Cool. Like she was no longer a sex symbol. She's now girl power. Drew, like, she was the tough one in Charlie's Angels. She was still pretty.
Larry McFeely
Yeah. Her only love connection was with Adam Sandler.
Brady
Yeah. But she had to go do mousy everyday girl stuff instead of. Because she was going down a road there for a little while.
Brett Veseley
It was like poison ivy.
Brady
She's the girl next door. Sexy mess. We like this. And then we saw him. We're like, goodbye. No more of you. Jamie Presley's gonna do poison Ivy 3 and we're gonna like that more. And then I think even Alyssa Milano's tried Poison Ivy and one of the Poison Ivies and showed her cans she spent. She got a discount on her boob job.
Brett Veseley
Who Drew?
Brady
Melissa.
Brett Veseley
Oh, I was gonna say Drew Alyssa.
Brady
Mulatto because she did a movie where her boobs were out and they were like. It looked like a cross eyed kid.
Brett Veseley
Like terror reeds.
Brady
No. God, no. They're still very. They're good.
Brett Veseley
Okay.
Brady
Yeah. One. It was like, you know, I felt like I was supposed to like, Find the North Star. Like, there was like. Like it was a compass. I was trying to read a compass. Like, well, I'm just pointing this way. I don't know what to do. I think we're heading west. It was like a. When you're out of town and you try to get on the freeway in a town you don't know, and you see arrows to streets, and you're like, ah. That was what her nipples were doing. This one says left, and that says right, but they both say crenshaw. I don't want to get on the wrong Crenshaw.
Brett Veseley
Crenshaw.
Brady
Muffin, you don't want to go down the wrong Crenshaw. And no matter what city you are, three roads. You don't want to go down the wrong way in all three cities. Medgar Evers Boulevard, Jesse Owens Boulevard, and Crenshaw.
Brett Veseley
And MLK too.
Brady
Well, MLK can have some moments where it's around cities. Medgar ever's in a neighborhood every time. You don't ever want to get lost on Medgar Evers Avenue. MLK can have some sketchy ones, but there's a few like Washington. He's got a good road. He's got a nice space in D.C. well, for D.C. chicago, he doesn't know. In Chicago, he does not.
Brett Veseley
That's what I'm saying.
Brady
And plus, you're close to where the White Sox play, so everything in that area is.
Brett Veseley
Even Chris Rock said the same thing. You want mlk, you run.
Brady
But you don't want to get lost on those. Crenshaw is one in every major city. Crenshaw is never in the nice part of town. I don't know why. I bet you there's no Crenshaw in Upper Arlington.
Larry McFeely
Nope.
Brady
Yep. I bet you there's no MLK in Upper Arlington. There might be a Jesse Owens Boulevard where you are, or an Archie Griffin.
Larry McFeely
They just have an ML. Martin Luther Boulevard.
Brady
Oh, yeah. Almost sacrilegious, but not quite. He was decent. Yeah. ML Boulevard's good. Yeah. Upper Arlington would put ML Carr from the 80s Celtics up before they do any. Like if. But only if, he's from there. I don't know.
Larry McFeely
It might have. There might be.
Brady
They do tributes to local people in Brady's original hometown. So I'm. I'm surprised Tom Bogan doesn't have a road.
Larry McFeely
Torp Court.
Brady
Yeah, Torp Court. Does he have one? No, but you have it all ready to go in case the city calls.
Larry McFeely
Okay, we're ready.
Brady
That's smart. Anyway, I want to take A picture in front of Wings with you right now so badly it's not an original thought. Something I saw once, and I want to copy it completely.
Brett Veseley
There is an MLK in Columbus.
Brady
We should. Oh, yeah. Columbus has one for sure, because. And there's Buster Douglas Boulevard.
Brett Veseley
That's not Vernon Avenue.
Brady
You don't want to. You don't want to get it lost on Buster Douglas Avenue either. And I'm sure you don't want to hang out there. I'm positive. No, no. Yeah, I'm positive. Your city.
Brett Veseley
So that holds true, then.
Brady
You name something in the right area. Buster Douglas has a street in Columbus, right?
Larry McFeely
I don't think so. They might have given an honorary, you know, like.
Brady
Like the Diana Taurasi orange. But he has something. Watch the watch.
Larry McFeely
He was given a key to this.
Brady
Watch the Buster Douglas documentary of. Of him coming home after beating Mike Tyson at the airport. Oh, my God. Airport security failed miserably that day. The tarmac is just chock full of Columbus.
Larry McFeely
Mount Vernon Avenue was empty that day.
Brady
Empty. And I thought, if they don't name everything after Buster Douglas and Columbus today they're taking Columbus down. So Columbus gets too excited about itself. I'm sure they've got a. Buster Douglas has a lot of stuff or he's eaten places. And there's a picture of him still.
Larry McFeely
Oh, yeah.
Brady
Yeah. Loads of that. Yeah. We don't do that too much. Alice Cooper is our guy that we. But I don't think we get that excited.
Larry McFeely
Any former Buckeye that had a decent career.
Brady
Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. Like, yeah. I mean, I'm sure Archie Griffin is like. There's like his footprints emeritus. Yeah. Like everywhere he's walked, they've painted a little X, like for each foot. That's. He's. Yeah, he's God out there. Anyway, I think I would like to call the Upper Arlington Chamber of Commerce and suggest they name something Crenshaw after Ben the golfer. Yeah, that's right. That's what they would do. He has golf here. He was on the Scarlet Track. I think he did a good. Let's do it. Because everything there's named after Jack Nicklaus. Everything. Everything. And if not a couple of things.
Larry McFeely
He actually got his nickname from.
Brady
I know they. They assigned everything to him. This is that. And that's it. It's crazy that you would keep your nickname the Golden Bear because you're high school stuff. Like me being Mustang Johnny. Yeah. I would cut that out the second I was an adult human being. Stop calling me the Golden Bear. That was high school, you weirdo. It's all Mustang. Johnny don't have accomplished so much since I got out of high school. I'm not tied to that anymore, but that's the way Ohio works. What do you got on the big board of musical treats there, Bert?
Brett Veseley
All right. Wake Up Song brought to you by Action Ride. Shop your place to be this weekend because they got all the bikes ready to go for you.

And on our list we have.
Brady
I just like the Planned Parenthood ideas that are coming through my emails for the wall, the photo wall. Because the young people getting abortions still have Instagram and they still. I wonder, just as a test of their dullness, if you did paint wings on the side of a Planned Parenthood wall, if they if more of them because they're all going to take a picture. I wonder if they take it before the abortion or after you weigh in or way out.
Larry McFeely
When do they actual ones? And then you'd have people that are also joking around about it.
Brady
Sure, sure. But I'm saying I'm. All I, all I know is it's moth to a flame.
Larry McFeely
Yeah.
Brady
If you paint wings on a wall, no matter where it is, you're going to get attention. Most women getting abortions are Instagram havers. They can't walk past wings on a wall. I wonder if they're going in for one of their abortions, if they would take it before or if they'd be like, on the way out. I'm gonna knock that picture out because they can't not do it. I wonder going in today, I wonder if they took the picture before. I betcha 60% before, 40% after. But they're getting a photo at that Planned Parenthood wing wall. I want to test that out so bad and then just sit in the parking lot with some popcorn and a couple of beers and just laugh for hours. Oh, she's getting out of her car crying. Oh, she spotted the wing wall. Oh, she's in her pose. She took the picture. Oh, she's Crying again. She's going back in. Tough day. At least you got the wing wall picture.
Brett Veseley
What do you got up there out on the list. Airborne. The Hives Countdown is shut down, guys. So. Just because it's been a while.
Brady
Damn it.
Brett Veseley
Vengeance Sevenfold Ghost, Three Days Grace, the Cure Boys Don't Cry for Reggie Garbage. Stupid Girl. For the Photo Wall Broads, Soil Static X Shine Down, Cypress Hill, GNR Corn, Van Halen.
Brady
I can't get past Countdown to shut Down. If it's up there, I'm playing it.
Brett Veseley
All right, let's do that.
Brady
Shut down by the Hives. This is such a great song. It's a banger. It's Countdown to shut down right here. It's the Hives. Their album came out a couple years ago and I still love the name of it. The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons. Just a great album by a Swedish band that just sounds like they. If you. If you knew them, you'd probably be like, hey, you guys want to set up in my garage and just play for a little bit? Like, hell yeah. And they would play three hours worth of the best music you've ever heard.
Brett Veseley
I'm coming here, but we're going to see. We're going to travel to see them, actually.
Brady
Where are they?
Brett Veseley
They're Denver and California.
Brady
Sacramento.
Brett Veseley
Yeah.
Brady
In September. We're talking about that, too. All right. Yeah. It's the Hives. It's outstanding stuff. It's 98kUpd, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said erect.

Holmberg's Morning Sickness - Arizona
Episode Date: May 30, 2025
Title: Happy Hours Are Struggling As Generations Are Too Into Social Media To Actually Socialize So John Has A Bar Idea Called Drinkstagram - Sydney Sweeney Selling Soap Made From Her Bathwater
In this engaging episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness, hosts John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo delve into the evolving landscape of socializing, particularly focusing on how social media's dominance is impacting traditional happy hours. They explore innovative solutions like "Drinkstagram" and discuss the quirky trend of celebrities monetizing personal items, such as Sydney Sweeney selling soap made from her bathwater.
The conversation kicks off with a candid discussion about the struggles faced by traditional happy hours. The hosts lament that younger generations are more engrossed in social media than in-person interactions, leading to a decline in communal gatherings.
Brady Bogen highlights the shift:
"Happy hours are in a struggle because you can't take people from work out anymore. It's risky." [02:52]
Larry McFeely adds:
"Professors are noticing it in universities. Like, they go to class and go back home." [05:59]
They discuss how workplace dynamics have changed, with the "Me Too" movement fostering a more cautious approach to socializing after hours.
John Holmberg unveils his innovative idea, "Drinkstagram," a bar designed to cater to the Instagram-centric socializing habits of younger patrons. The concept revolves around creating Instagram-friendly environments that encourage patrons to take and share photos, thus merging social media engagement with traditional bar experiences.
Brady Bogen enthusiastically proposes:
"Put up a picture wall. Make it like super amounts of flowers... build Drinkstagram and just have a bar in the middle of Drinkstagram." [07:47]
Brett Vesely supports the idea:
"Drinkstagram is a great idea because we can put you in all those famous Instagram wall places." [12:12]
The hosts brainstorm various themes and interactive photo opportunities that would make the bar a hotspot for social media influencers and enthusiasts.
The hosts delve deeper into how social media platforms like Instagram are reshaping social interactions. They critique the superficiality of online engagements compared to genuine face-to-face connections.
Brady Bogen expresses concern:
"You are just, I don't know, one of the mono thinkers." [09:52]
Jen, another host, reflects on the behavior:
"We have to take a photo in front of that." [08:43]
The discussion touches upon the psychological implications of prioritizing online personas over real-life relationships, emphasizing a sense of loneliness and lack of originality among the younger generation.
Transitioning from socializing trends, the conversation shifts to celebrity culture, specifically the quirky trend of celebrities selling personal items. They focus on actress Sydney Sweeney's initiative to sell soap made from her bathwater.
Brett Vesely questions the concept:
"I'm like, brett will do it. I'm like, geez. But I think I'd drink it. I don't think I'd keep it." [28:36]
Larry McFeely humorously critiques the idea:
"It's a soap for a limited time. $8 each online for the soap." [30:22]
The hosts debate the marketability and ethical implications of such ventures, pondering whether fans truly support these endeavors or if they're merely driven by obsession.
Brady Bogen muses:
"Brady, you don't want to do the weird thing like they do in Vegas... if you ran into Jason Momoa... it's how she looks." [22:49]
The episode wraps up with the hosts reflecting on the discussed topics, reiterating the need for innovation in socializing venues like bars to adapt to changing social behaviors. The "Drinkstagram" concept emerges as a potential solution to bridge the gap between social media engagement and real-life interactions.
Brady Bogen concludes with optimism:
"Drinkstagram is a great idea cuz we can put you in all those famous Instagram wall places... made it up next week." [23:44]
They encourage listeners to embrace creative solutions to foster genuine connections in an increasingly digital world.
Brady Bogen:
"Happy hours are in a struggle because you can't take people from work out anymore. It's risky." [02:52]
Brady Bogen:
"You have no unique thoughts. That's how I describe myself on my tinder." [21:36]
Brady Bogen:
"She's the Queen of dragons... she'll never show those glasses again." [35:13]
Brady Bogen:
"Drinkstagram is a great idea cuz we can put you in all those famous Instagram wall places." [12:12]
Changing Social Dynamics: Social media's pervasive influence is diminishing traditional social gatherings like happy hours, leading to a need for innovative social venues.
