John Holmberg
Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Tuesday. It is 5:45. My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett, there's Big Dick Toledo. This the morning sickness and yeah, I've got. I've got to. I should not be driving. I'm telling you, I broke my own rule this morning.
Brett Vesely
Here we go again.
John Holmberg
Well, because I say that those wrong way crashes are almost always caused by cold medication and allergy stuff.
Brady
You made it all the way.
John Holmberg
I might have. I don't know. That's a good. There's a good possibility. I was. If you saw a white jeep blazing down past you in the wrong lane, that was me. I don't remember getting here.
Brett Vesely
Should ask Megan to drive you.
John Holmberg
I'm never gonna do that again.
Brett Vesely
You'd have been fine.
John Holmberg
I'd rather go down to the airport and get into a cockpit and go. I've never done this before, but let me give this a run and ride in a car with her while she's driving. That's crazy. Let Michael J. Fox ride my bike. I'll do the handlebars and I would rather do that anyway. It's. Yeah, I don't know what's going. It's just this massive head just attack. And I jokingly said yesterday that I tested for Covid just because I have tests from years ago. Expired old tests. Tried one Friday, said I had it. Tried one Sunday, said I didn't. I don't care. But I got it. You can't mention that word. Guy says you're not a man. Quit saying Covid. You're paid to do this.
Brett Vesely
Oh, Jesus.
John Holmberg
Covid hasn't existed for years and you and your staff continue to bring it up. Poor John Holmberg got Covid then. He didn't. That's right. I got paid a pretty penny to say That I listened because it's the only morning show around. All the pathetic sponsors you continually praise ruin everything and everyone.
Brett Vesely
Really?
John Holmberg
Don't talk about TVs Doug Hopkins that way. That's not nice. The endless commercials and pathetic music. Go back to the actual morning show. You have talent for. Call me out on the air. I don't care. I'll give you a good 30 minute laugh. But five years ago, when Covid happened, you lost it. Besides, you'll never air or be honest about any of this. Just abide by your contracts and pathetic lives. HMS fan since 2001. There's really nothing else around except you and Joe Rogan. All right, dude. I wish I could convince people like you that I would take money to talk about COVID if it was available. It's not. I. Where are. Where are the people that know the guys who pay to talk about stuff that's not real? Because you've got a huckleberry right here. I will take that money. I will gladly if it's substantial. Otherwise, I'm just gonna stick to the good stuff, like Turf Monsters and people are doing good jobs for me and stuff. I go in my backyard and I'm like, this is nice. These people deserve to be talked about. They've done a great job. I've really enjoyed dealing with the gang at Turf Monsters. Doug Hopkins, I really enjoy his company. He's a nice man. I. I'm glad we have a relationship in real life and in business. But where in the world is my opportunity to be a crooked pile of. Because it doesn't exist. No one's ever asked me to talk about. COVID said, we'll pay you. I wish. Cause I do it.
Brady
There's an opportunity. Everyone got fired yesterday on the COVID.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw that. That RFK fired everybody. But I just don't understand that. I. I want. I. Look, radio is known for this. And I've been pretty. I've been actually kind of the opposite of most radio people. Where. And you guys have paid a price for it a few times. Where I'm like, we're not doing endorsements for certain things. It's just not happening. You know, we're not gonna butt up against other things. If you're not using the product, we're probably not talking about it. It's that kind of deal. Cause it almost always backfires on you when you say you're using something and you're not and then you reveal it. It's almost inevitable. It makes you look like a dickhead. But when. Like, when it comes down to covert, subversive, like, we'll give you millions. Like, people think that has happened. It hasn't happened. I don't know if you've been offered anything. You're from that.
Brett Vesely
No, I would take it.
John Holmberg
Yeah, me too. I try to stay on the up and up when it comes to business, but if you want to do underground stuff with me, I'm as crooked as they come. Sure.
Brett Vesely
My people are all about that.
John Holmberg
I'm not going to talk about driving Cadillacs when I don't. I'm not. But I will if you give me, like, you know, hey, look, we've got a big, you know, government conspiracy. Oh, I'm in. Because I want to be in on the drama as much as I want the money. That would be great. So, yeah, I jokingly mentioned Covid yesterday, because I've got this head cold, and this dude says that it doesn't exist. And then once again, somebody. And I don't know who, but if you're out there, you want to pay me for that? Evidently, there's contracts and stuff. I need a lawyer for this. Like, I. I don't. He. He knows I don't know this.
Brett Vesely
So in the words of Sergeant Holka, lighten up, Francis.
John Holmberg
His name's Jay Foe, and he says, I'm not a man because I mentioned the word Covid, and I need to go back to the morning show I'm good at, which five years ago, I was compromised by becoming part of the. The COVID backstory. And, Brady, are you. Except you're conspicuously quiet. Are you accepting Covid money?
Brady
Not Covid.
John Holmberg
Oh, no. Tell me, Brady, what? Oh, big food. You're in with big food.
Brady
Yeah, big food.
John Holmberg
Damn you in the big food.
Brady
Big food damage.
John Holmberg
I don't even have anything like that. I'm just another Jew that controls the media. That's it. That's all I am. I can't help myself. It's what we do. So, anyway, J. Foe. I wish. And. And look, you seem to know that this is going on. Put me in touch with some of these people. You know, I could use a little extra. I got to pay some extra bills I didn't. I didn't see coming in the last few weeks. Yeah, one big one. You guys could definitely. Jay Foe help out, if you don't mind. Brett, do it, too. I don't know. Brady, do it. Brady would do it. Who am I talking about? Brady would do it. He'd talk himself into it being legit.
Brady
It's Helping people.
John Holmberg
I don't know. Is it just mentioning Covid, like, talking about, like, still. I didn't even say be afraid. And by the way, I'm still here. Like, even if I have Covid. Tripp came in yesterday. He's like, you have Covid? I don't know. Maybe I'm. I'm going old school. It's 2020, bitch. And he just goes, so you shouldn't be here. And I'm like, we're fine. Don't worry about it. It's just a cold.
Brett Vesely
Brady and I wore masks the entire.
John Holmberg
Show yesterday just because you didn't. And I breathed all over everything. And I have this microphone, and Larry used it after I was done. Everybody gets it. We'll all survive it. We're not. Like I said yesterday, we ain't scared of no covet. Maybe it kills us again. I don't know. Maybe it wasn't real. But I don't see, there's the problem. I don't know. Nobody's ever. I'm not important enough ever to have. And now it's. Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback for the Steelers. I got to deal with this. I got hydrochloroquine around. I've got. Who knows what's going on with that, But I just want to know.
Brady
Could be the chemtrails, too.
John Holmberg
Probably.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
John Holmberg
I like those states that are. They're banning chemtrails.
Brady
Seek to outlaw chemtrails even though they aren't really detected yet, by the way.
John Holmberg
Good.
Brady
But that just.
John Holmberg
Sure. And I don't doubt that there's stuff in it, but not necessarily. But if there's a massive conspiracy to make chemtrails poisonous, don't you think that banning it, they'll just find a more like, a better way? Like this is at least out in the open. I don't know. Maybe chemtrails are doing stuff. But I find it funny that we're living to be, like, 90. Everything's getting easier every single day with convenience and technology. And we still seem to think that there's this. Just like we had too many people like that. I'm kind of for the idea of the government coming up with a plan to slow us down a little bit. There's 8 billion people on the planet. Since the day I was born, that number has doubled. That seems a lot. And I don't feel like we're getting slowed down too much as a species by all this conspiracy. And sure, it keeps you sick and the money keeps flowing, but I don't know, I got an iPhone. I'm pretty happy.
Brady
I didn't realize, you know, I heard about the chemtrails before. You know, there's always been that theory and conspiracy going on.
John Holmberg
Sure.
Brady
But I didn't realize how much it got into controlling the weather.
John Holmberg
Oh, it controls everything. And that's what. It's the only thing us Jews can't control.
Brett Vesely
What, you're working on the weather?
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah, we're working on it, my friend. I got a whole group of us. We were so busy with COVID right now and collecting checks. Damn it. That would be nice. I would really enjoy that. So if you're out there, big Covid, and you got. You got. I'm gonna go ahead and say it. You got at least four huckleberries in this building. I'll be like, let me hear you out. What you got? Yeah, I said it years ago when everybody was mad at gas companies and they start. But I need it. I need gas, so I can't be too mad at them. They do good stuff. They were just. You know, it was the locals that were raising the prices. And I'm like, look, I'm mad about the prices, but if Exxon came to me and said, here's a couple million bucks to talk about how great gas is, I'd be like, gas is pretty great. That's maybe changed my mind on gas is pretty great. I'm wearing shoes, and if it wasn't for oil, that I wouldn't have these on.
Brady
So would you do a listener cruise on the Valdez?
John Holmberg
Yeah, we'd.
Brett Vesely
I would.
John Holmberg
That sounds nice. I'd go to Thunberg. That Greta gotten stuffed in that plane. Speaking of chemtrails, getting stuffed in that plane yesterday was hilarious. She hated every second of it. They jammed her in a plane and sent her home. She didn't get to do her sailboat home, Greta. Anyway, so, no, J. Foe, I'm not even gonna make fun of you. And thanks for saying nice things. You've been listening since 2001. I don't know when you thought we made that swaparoo to be contracted corporate shills for Covid, but it just didn't happen. And I think I've been pretty honest with you guys about everything for the most part, since 2001 doing this show. I'd tell you. Like, if Covid people came to me and told me, by the way. If they told me, by the way, it's all horse crap, and we want you to be the voice for it. Like, all right. And then I'D get in with them and then I'd like write a book and tell everybody the truth. And I'd, you know, I'd probably get murdered or whatever, but I'd be a millionaire beforehand. I would get my eventually this would pay me to expose it if it's fake. Cause that's what I'd like to do more than anything else. I'm too inquisitive or to realize, oh my gosh, it is kind of real. And then take money and try to be Don Quixote and warn people, but nobody's ever approached me.

John Holmberg
Holmberg's Morning Sickness I've never been talked to about it, so in a way I'm kind of My feelings are hurt that I'm not a big enough deal in any sort of way for Covid to come to this show and say, we need you guys. You got a voice in the city. Closest thing is a guy named Coman and he runs the comedy clubs and he talks to me a lot about like, hey, we need you. I'm like, yeah, that's nice. But you're not Covid. You're. You start with a K. It's not even the same. Like alphabetically. You're not even the same. But I knew this would happen when Aaron Rodgers became a stealer. I knew this. I knew I'd start feeling the cult like membership of Aaron Rodgers existence in my life. We'll see how that goes. But anyway, it's nice to be thought of as something, I guess. I guess that's what we'll have to take. Brady. After 25 years of this, people think we're a big enough deal that there's.
Brady
Still the sellout factor.
John Holmberg
Well, not even the sellout. The underground government conspiracy. People need us to push their agenda. That that's a compliment to think that we've. That's an achievement. That's like being. That's like people thinking you're gay in Hollywood. You've gone to another level of like, wow, they're paying that much attention to me. I guess if they think that we're. We're pushing an agenda of definite government conspiracy and we are the mouthpiece of it, that puts us in the thing, by the way. No, I doordash just like the rest of you guys, one leg at a time.
Brady
It's the. I think the last thing they'd want us shilling away for something in the government.
John Holmberg
Why? Well, because we tell, right? Yeah. Like if it was fake, we'd say something. That's what I said. Like we've been fairly honest. I don't know. I don't get it. Says John. No way you're shilling for Covid. You're not getting paid by big pharma like that. But I do think the whole show might be getting paid for some dick hardening medicine. Because I'm hearing a lot of ads about that. That is true. Toledo and Brett have been talking a lot about that dick hardening medicine.
Brett Vesely
Oh, I'm getting paid.
John Holmberg
Ain't no doubt about it. And you're.
Brett Vesely
I am using the product.
John Holmberg
You're using the product. And it's not necessarily to get your dick hard. Although I'll tell you that that testosterone.
Brett Vesely
But the peptides too. That's what I've been really doing.
John Holmberg
That's right.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And you like it?
Brett Vesely
It's great.
John Holmberg
In fact, you're doing it so much, I've actually talked to the people about doing it.
Brett Vesely
See.
John Holmberg
So yeah, it Works. Brett's endorsement worked on me. You crooked son of a bitch. Sell out, get paid.
Brady
Peptides sound delicious.
John Holmberg
No. No, they're not. You don't eat them, you shoot up wrong. Big food. See? Big food. He always takes him. That's why we always say that. It's always food with you, what he's been pa. Yeah. I don't know. It's also stupid. Everybody's so dumb. But if I could, I would absolutely take that money. The marches in LA and everywhere else, I might be naive to this whole thing. And I watched a lot of that stuff yesterday, and they're breaking out. Like, their anchors are now marching along with people. And I looked, and I'm like, okay, the cops are all in riot gear. And that makes people nervous, evidently. And then the National Guard's not even. They're there, but they're not doing anything.
Brady
Pisses them off.
John Holmberg
It pisses them off, right? What happens? Just throwing it out there. We just ignored it. Well, we don't send the cops. Like, ask the marchers, where you guys headed? And they're like, to the Capitol, like, all right. And then we just have, like, a thousand cops at the Capitol. Just, like, don't break anything. We just let them walk around. I think they just walk until they get bored. And they're like, are you done? Like, yep. Okay. But when you line this, it does kind of look like you're in a fight. When you line the streets with cops and don't stop traffic. Like, if they just start marching in the middle of the road, it's like, all right. People are driving along. Like, could you move? I'm trying to get home from whatever you're doing. You're doing.
Brett Vesely
Yeah, have fun.
John Holmberg
The only rule I. The only rule I have for a march about not wanting to leave the United States and Brady brought up yesterday, is you can't wave a flag from somewhere else. That's kind of gonna. That's the thing that makes people go, we don't care about you. If you're walking around with a flag of another country saying, I don't want to go here ever. Don't deport me. And I understand the argument. Like, it seems a bit aggressive. But what if marches and all. Marches, not just this one, all of them, all of them. We just let them have it. Go ahead, walk away. We should build, like, a street march street. So here you go, you marches right down to the Capitol, and you just stand there until everybody gets bored again. It's too hot to be mad here. I'm Never worried about Phoenix marches because it's way too hot to care. Look, there's a certain aspect of. Of marching here where pretty much signing up for whatever it is at the end. If I can just go home or into air conditioning. Like, I'm not going to stand in this for a cause. It's just. I don't love anything that much. I don't have any cause that great. Like, even dogs and stuff, it's like, we got to do something. All the dogs are like, I don't know. We wait till, like, November. It's too hot to march. I follow the lead of the gays. The homosexuals won't even be proud in June. They only do that when the weather's nice and they're smart. But if we just let them march. Like, I watched Los Angeles marches yesterday, and it was like, they were like, the news loves it. They're trying to like, oh, what's that over there? Some over there. And nothing was really going on. And they're like, man, it's gonna be a bad night. Like, well, you keep telling everybody that, and they're gonna feel like it might be. So the. You know, if you ever walk in your house when you thought you heard a noise, and so you're listening for noises, and then the next noise scares you, and it's just like the air conditioner coming on. That's when somebody tells you to be like, oh, it's gonna get bad. It's gonna get bad. The first noise you hear is like, is this it? So, of course you're on edge. So what happens if we just ignore it? I know business owners would be like, oh, we can't. I'm like, well, if they trash your place, hopefully you have insurance. I know that sounds terrible, but it's better than the alternative, which is every day for, like, weeks on end, that you don't have business because the marchers are going by and cops are everywhere. Just ignore it. You stand by there and I don't know where. I'm not a march guy. I would. I don't think I'd ever march. I don't know that I'm a march guy.
Brady
I've heard mixed, you know, reports like people saying, oh, it's been very peaceful.
John Holmberg
Sure.
Brady
I. And I. I believe there's parts that has been very.
John Holmberg
Of course.
Brady
But seeing at least some of the videos and stuff, I'm like, man, all.
John Holmberg
Things can be true at once.
Brady
Peaceful about that.
John Holmberg
Both things can be true at once. That. That's very peaceful and very. And then there's some pockets of crazy and the pockets crazy. You're going to get the attention. That's fine. I understand that, but I just don't. I don't like the march thing. I don't. I don't know. I do it during business hours. Go into the capitol, like before 5, march down there and just like, say, can we talk to somebody about some things? And then, you know, I don't know. Or make some phone calls. That seems to be the one thing that politicians can't stand. We had that guy on last Tuesday, and evidently a lot of you bothered Representative Montenegro. And he made a comment like, all right, enough. But he didn't hear the bill, but he made it. Made it known that he was tired of the emails and the phone calls, which is good.
Brett Vesely
Still wouldn't hear it, though, huh?
John Holmberg
Well, he. Yeah, it was too late. It's a little late Tuesday. Wednesday wasn't even their fault. It was like, that was the thing. He had to, so. But they're going to try to work it into something else anyway. You just kind of, you know, have to stay diligent. I get marching to a certain degree. I'm not going to do it. I don't like anything that much. I'll just find something else to do. It's a passion problem. It's probably a white guy problem. Like, what am I so angry about? You know, there's Amazon. Everything's so great. And I understand that if I lived, like, if I was illegal here and essentially you try to take my Amazon away, I'd be pretty pissed off. But I'm not much right. If you took away all this technology, maybe I'd march. But even still, I'm not so sure. I'm not a marcher, but I thought marches have to be like, hey, we're gonna go for. We have to, like, sign a paper. So we're gonna go from, like, central and, you know, that's a parade. Yeah, that's a parade. Okay. All right. I don't know the difference, to be honest with you. One just seems a little bit angrier than the other. But I'm the angry one during a parade because it's clogging something up. And I think parades are stupid. I don't know what I'd rather do, a parade or a march. I think I'd go to a March 1st.
Brett Vesely
I said they should have kept Metro center there. They could all designated marches and air conditioning. They got an Orange Julius in there, you know, I mean, ye.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. Have like a march, a Week. That's not a bad idea. I just don't. I just don't. I think if we just told the cops, like, just hang out, find out where they're going, have a couple cops hanging around the front. Go. Where are you guys headed? Like, down to the Capitol. Like, all right. And then you call ahead and you're like, hey, they're coming to the Capitol. And I think they're taking Washington. Like, okay. And then just kind of wait there and let them walk around. It just seems. It was like when I used to do the zombie walk in Halloween and thousands of people, they just kind of closed the lane off of the street, and then we walked along. Like, when it was over, you just kind of stood there like, is there a band? Like, are we going home? And then everybody kind of went home in their class.
Brady
What do we do now, John?
John Holmberg
Exactly. Like, I think everybody goes home. There was one of the years that I actually did that we ended up at the ballpark, and we're in the. The. Like, that area between what used to be. What is it called? It's the Guy Fieri's now and then. And then the ballpark. And they have that. We're all standing there, and everybody's kind of milling around, and there's, like, some kiosks. And I got on stage and I'm like, hey, everybody, thanks for that. That was fun. I'm like, I think there's a band next. They might have already played, I don't know. And they're like, all right. They all stood and watched me, and I'm like, I'm going home. And I remember saying that, and I'm like, I'm go home. And I put in because I'm like, I think I'm done. And if I'm done, a lot of you will disperse. It was a fun thing.
Brett Vesely
You're like, forest. You were just done?
John Holmberg
Yeah, I was done. I'm going to stop running. And I did, and that's enough. And I went to grab something to eat at Windsor and I went home, and that was it. And that's kind of how marches feel to me. It's like, at the end, did anything happen? We were like, they really got mad at us today. Just ignore it. The media won't. So you'll still get your attention. And that's really all you're looking for.
Brady
Draws more people to it.
John Holmberg
I just don't get waving flags for other countries. When you're saying, I want to stay and you can hate and, like, protest all day long. I think that's great.
Brett Vesely
But Matthew said it's not a march though. It's a full blown riot at this point.
John Holmberg
Sometimes. Yeah, it can be. But I think the part of that riot part is that there's a bunch of dudes with like tear gas masks and guns pointed at you. So it makes you feel like you're in a fight even when you're not. This one said John, you sound so naive right now. A lot of these people are being paid to go there. Oh, I know that's true too. Yeah, that's true that you got the but that the reason why is because it's covered as if there's an adversarial. I don't think it's naive to say that if we took away the adversary, it would just be a bunch of people on the same page walking down the street.

John Holmberg
Holmberg's Morning sickness I think the problem is, is that people are gonna get all crazy and try to rile them up. And they might. But as long as you have the like, as long as we act like afraid like there's paid, there's paid actors here. They're gonna blow up all of our stores. We better get thousands and thousands of police officers. Then they're gonna be like, then it's easier to rile them up. So the paid actors have A harder job. When normal people are just walking down the road and they're like, let's. Let's break into this piano shop. And they'd be like, no, there's no reason for that. I think most people down there are pretty cool.
Brady
Let's burn a car.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And they've had. They've had situations when they, you know, they lose their minds and marches and stuff, but I don't know that they've done it. If we ignored them as far as, like, you know, police presence and all that stuff. Just, you know, meet you at the end. Maybe it's wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's crazy. Maybe what I'm saying is crazy, but it seems like the thing we're doing doesn't work. So I'm just coming up with an alternative idea, you know, what they all need to do. And I've been told this by a couple of very important people. We need to get our Covid misters out and miss them with COVID Because I know how to do that now. I know how to.
Brett Vesely
How much are you making? Get 10 grand off this thing or something about it.
John Holmberg
10 grand that's in and out of my pocket like nobody's business. Please. It'll take a lot more to buy me off with COVID conspiracy money than 10 grand. Covid. The feel good hit of the summer. I may or may not have it. I don't know. It just seems like I'm watching this thing. Maybe it's the cold medicine. Maybe I'm on the Mucinex and it's making me think either too clearly or too stupidly. But I'm watching the riots, and I'm like, I think this seems like the fastest way to make this stop. I'm not so sure what I was watching yesterday. Anybody knew where they were going. Like, the cops would stop and look around, and then they just start walking. And the marchers seemed to go with them, like, okay, this way. And then they get to an intersection, and they'd all turn like, yeah, we're. We're moving them this way. And then the cops would stop and, like, regroup and then set up a new line. And I'm like, I'm not so sure. The marchers, I think they're just kind of out there. I don't. I don't think they had, like, a dedicated route. They seem like you get pushed around pretty easy. Well, it could be pushed around pretty easy. Instead of just, like, ignore them and let them walk around, It'll turn into, like, a New Year's Eve party, maybe some stuff goes wrong. But you know, and I don't understand.
Brady
I know they won't report on the, you know, there's probably more walks and protests that happen that have been peaceful.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they're getting more just, you know.
Brady
From what I've seen from la, my perception is, man, they have a tough time having a peaceful. Well, it's just.
John Holmberg
Well, and it wasn't what it was.
Brady
I mean, throughout the.
John Holmberg
That bad. The problem I don't get is that if you start mashing up cop cars and painting on the sides of buildings, your taxes are gonna go up. Who do you think pays for that?
Brett Vesely
That's not like it's not high enough already, right?
John Holmberg
There's. They have to hire like government buildings that have F ice sprayed all over them. That's a government job. Tax money pays for those. We got to hire a company to go cover that up. And some of that's marble. It's not going to be easy.
Brady
The Kobe Bryant mural.
John Holmberg
No, lately. Oh, they'll fix that.
Brady
I can't.
John Holmberg
Well, no, I'll just repay Kobe over it. If it was a mural, was it a spray paint mural?
Brady
Yes.
John Holmberg
Oh, man. I'll fix. They'll paint right over that. There's nothing. You hire a few dudes over there from Echo park and you're fine.
Brady
Might have been. Not spray paint. Could have been.
John Holmberg
Yeah. They probably shell act over it. So they'll don't. And I'm not worried about that. If there's one thing LA is not short on, it's a bunch of spray paint artists you can go fix stuff with. But washing stuff off, that's a job. And that porous marble, man, that's not. If you ever get a cup ring on your Carrera marble countertops. Jesus Christ. You have to hire a guy. So I don't get it. I don't know. Maybe it's just me, maybe it's the Mucinex, but it's kind of watch that whole thing. Like it seems like there's a better way. Just let them march. Ignore it. And if they start losing their minds, we got cameras everywhere.
Brady
You know, there's where the controversy is. Who. Who drew first blood?
John Holmberg
You know, when did it get it.
Brady
Get out of hand?
John Holmberg
There's no if there's no like adversary there. And just letting them march and they start beating each other up. Okay. It's just at the end, you just can't go into the building. I don't get it. I just don't get it. So that's just my take. And again, argue with me all day because I'm not saying I'm right about anything. I'm just saying, is this an idea? Just leave them alone. They're mad. I don't know if they're gonna cause any trouble until they started getting harassed a little bit. The Phoenix March seems to be just fine. It's too hot. Turn up the heat a little bit, make them only March in Phoenix in June, and all of our problems are solved. I also saw the story about that dude. Oh, this is crazy. That he. This. That father that killed his daughters. And then they checked his computer and the things he was searching and stuff.
Brady
Where they went camping.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's the. Is that the one there? Yeah, they were. He's 31 years old, and he searched on Google. How does a person move to Canada? How to relocate to Canada. Fastest way to get to Canada. Jobs in Canada. Canada, jobs. And he was looking for jobs and stuff. He's clearly thinking about going to Canada. And they'd be like, are you going to Canada? It's like, no. Like, you gotta. I have had recently, like, sometimes you search stuff, and this might be Mucinex again. I was on the. I watched a lot of Better Call Saul because I haven't felt well. So I've been, like, binging some stuff I know I'm gonna like. And it led me right into the Breaking Bad and the first couple episodes, and I'm like. And I forgot. So just the other night, on my computer or on my phone, I text in. What kind of acid dissolves a body.
Brett Vesely
Oh, nice.
John Holmberg
Then all I think about is, like, if Brett has another incident and there's a body that's, like, floating around. It's hydraulic, I think I. Now I don't remember again.
Brady
Hydrochloric.
John Holmberg
Hydrochloric maybe. I don't know. I don't remember what it was, but it was. I can't remember right now. I want to search again. Brett, search that for me real quick. But I've had, like, several of those. My dog has happy tail. Have you ever had a dog with happy tail? It's horrible.
Brett Vesely
Oh.
John Holmberg
So Yardley hits the corner of the bedroom wall, the spare bedroom, and splits her tail open. Happy tail is when dogs have that hardwired tail and it hits something and it breaks. You've. It's the Bellagios everywhere. And they don't. It doesn't hurt it. They just keep wagging that thing and they're. They're a sprinkler system. Of blood.
Brady
I surprised Coco has not. I mean.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
That coco says a K12 nightstick.
John Holmberg
Yeah. It doesn't break it. Well, it hits a corner. It will damage because Yardley can poke an eye out. She can break a bone with his tail. She hits the side of this like where the wall meets. It's a 90 degree and she cranked it and she got happy tail. Happy tail is very real. And it's rare, but it's when it happens, you know, there's blood everywhere. So again, same day about the acid in the body. I'm texting. How do I get a lot of blood off of matte paint? I'm like, I'm going to go to jail a lot.
Brett Vesely
Come on, man.
John Holmberg
I know, but how do you do it? Because it doesn't come off. Look at. Yes you do. Hydrogen peroxide washes the paint down and that's the stuff that gets blood out. And I have to paint over it. But the. I'm never going to match that. So now I got to paint the whole room. I mean the blood is everywhere. It looks like the staircase. It's like O.J. would be like, man, this is a lot of blood. It is, it is. And it's just worse. And it's where she was hitting the wall is just. There's 7,000 marks. And then just all over the woodwork. The door. I like happy tail because she was so happy.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Her tail was going so hard and so happy that she hit the wall and it split it. It is gross. And I've seen it twice. Not in the hallway. This like the blood is every. It's a murder scene. It is truly like there are murder scenes. Like Scott Peterson had less evidence in his house than I do. I'm not worried because your DNA test that's going to come back three legged pitbull. Not gonna be a thing.
Brett Vesely
Ours was. Ours was so bad that we wound up having to get the tail docked because he just kept breaking it open. Yeah. It was just bad.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Yards is a wagger and she loves using it to hit stuff. Like she does it on purpose.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
John Holmberg
She goes to like knock on doors. She'll stand in a doorway when she wants something and hit her. Hit the wall with her tail and look at you. Like hey, over here. It's hilarious. But she smashed it and there's blood everywhere.
Brett Vesely
Our Belgian, he was like Indiana Jones with that thing like a bullwhip. Snap ya.
John Holmberg
So I got blood everywhere. So I don't know. Like this dude, remember that guy a few years ago that killed his wife on New Year's Eve. And then like two days later it's like, how do you get blood out of the cracks of a wood floor? And then he ran off all those questions and he found. He got the list and then he went to the Home Depot and bought all of that. And he was just like, oh, I was just watching a team. Like, why'd you buy it all? Then I just goofing around. Where's your wife? I don't know, she's vacation or something. Yeah, they got this but this guy killed his kids and then started to be. And they're like, where are you going? Like, no, we're nothing. He's like, how come you keep looking at Canadian? They're trying to go to Canada. I don't know what you're talking about. Is it nine six and five year old daughters they reported missing and then he was going to flee to Canada. Your computer remembers everything. I'll never forget Larry's mom when she retired was doing work for the state, just filing court documents and like getting all like she was putting on paper for lawyers, things from cell phones. And I didn't know this until Larry's mom said it. Every time you type anything in your phone, even if you delete registers. So if I'm writing Brady, I'm going to kill you by using, you know, like ah, I'm not gonna really send that. And I just delete it. It's in there. And she and they would. When they had phone access to these, these prisoners, they had every keystroke ever done. All the backtracks, all the misspelled words that you deleted and redid. Everything's in there. It was insane. So if you're going to do that kind of stuff, don't. Now I'm nervous about searching Happy Town because there is my. That spare room is. It's more blood than it is room at this point. I've never seen that. I didn't like it was shooting out. I didn't see it when she did it, but I picked at the scab. Oh, every time she wags, it's like it hits a trigger. It's hilarious because it's blood. It's like a horror movie. And it doesn't hurt, evidently at all. She does not care. She keeps mashing that tail up against corners of stuff.
Brett Vesely
Just can't help themselves. Even if it does hurt.
John Holmberg
They're just like, he's just so happy.
Brady
What'd you do, wrap it?
John Holmberg
Yeah, you gotta put something around it. Just kind of keep them from banging into stuff and opening it up again. Bottom line is, you know who will never have that for. For me or any of you guys? A woman. A woman will never, ever break her tail open because she. Women don't have the happy wife. The happy wife syndrome. They do bleed a lot, but it's not because you're. They're so happy, they can't, you know, contain their inner. They'll never get so excited, they'll ram into a wall for you. That's why dogs are better than people. Women. Same thing. You'll never meet a man so happy that he runs to the door and opens up a part of his body like a vein. I'm sorry. Just so happy to see you, actually. Just cut myself wide open and I don't care. I just want to hug dogs the best. Anyway, let's get a wake up song, shall we? 585-9800. A good one brought to you by Mucinex. It cures Covid, which is still very real. It's 98 KUPD. Wake up. It's out of control now. 98 K. OPD.

Release Date: June 10, 2025

Broadcasted On: 98KUPD | Hubbard Radio
In the June 10, 2025 episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness on Arizona's #1 morning radio station, John Holmberg and his team tackle a range of controversial and thought-provoking topics. From dissecting conspiracy theories to discussing unconventional solutions for public protests, the hosts engage listeners with their characteristic blend of humor and skepticism.
The episode opens with John Holmberg candidly addressing criticisms from listeners who accuse him of fabricating a COVID-19 diagnosis for personal gain. He vehemently denies having COVID-19, despite joking about taking expired tests and experiencing symptoms consistent with the virus.
Holmberg challenges the notion that the show is being financially influenced to promote misinformation about COVID-19. He emphasizes his integrity and refusal to become a "corporate shill," contrasting himself with entities like Joe Rogan.
The conversation shifts to government conspiracies, specifically the widely debated topic of chemtrails. Holmberg and Brady Bogen delve into theories suggesting that the government manipulates weather patterns through chemtrails.
The hosts discuss the feasibility of such conspiracies and their potential impact on society, questioning the government's capacity to maintain secrecy over large-scale operations.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing the effectiveness of protest marches and potential strategies for managing them. Holmberg proposes that police presence might be counterproductive, suggesting that authorities should allow marchers to proceed without interference.
He theorizes that removing adversarial elements could reduce tensions, essentially letting protesters disperse naturally without escalating into chaos.
Shifting gears, Holmberg shares personal stories about his dog, Yardley, whose exuberant tail wagging leads to accidental damage around the house. These anecdotes serve as light-hearted interludes amidst the heavier topics.
He humorously describes incidents where Yardley's tail-wagging results in blood splatters, drawing parallels to chaotic scenes typically seen in horror movies.
The hosts touch upon alarming crime stories and the implications of digital surveillance. Holmberg references cases where perpetrators' online searches led to their identification, highlighting concerns over privacy and digital footprints.
He underscores the extent of surveillance, noting that every keystroke is recorded, making it difficult for individuals to maintain privacy online.
John Holmberg [02:16]: “Covid hasn't existed for years and you and your staff continue to bring it up.”
John Holmberg [05:25]: “I will gladly if it's substantial. Otherwise, I'm just gonna stick to the good stuff, like Turf Monsters.”
John Holmberg [16:27]: “If we just ignore it? I know business owners would be like, oh, we can't. I'm like, well, if they trash your place, hopefully you have insurance.”
John Holmberg [31:15]: “Our dog has happy tail. Have you ever had a dog with happy tail? It's horrible.”
Holmberg criticizes the influence of sponsors on the show's content, arguing that commercial interests often detract from genuine discourse. He advocates for maintaining authenticity and resisting corporate pressures to endorse certain products or narratives.
The June 10, 2025 episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness underscores the hosts' commitment to challenging mainstream narratives and exploring alternative viewpoints. John Holmberg's candid discussions about COVID-19 conspiracies, government manipulation theories, and unconventional approaches to public protests reflect the show's dedication to fostering open and critical dialogues. Balancing these serious topics with personal anecdotes about his dog adds a relatable and humorous touch, making the episode both engaging and thought-provoking for listeners.
