Homburg
The Best of the Morning Sickness is on the Air 98 KUPD do any of you people do any actual work? The Best of Homburg's Morning sickness and then the one thing we are kind of avoiding this morning to start the show or at least I am is the obvious. Hey, did we kill Iran's president this weekend because I had helicopter. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about either. That's a very hell you saying you know I got. I know what you're talking about. It sort of seems like we might have killed that guy because there were some important people on a helicopter and the initial report was hard landing and did you see the helicopter? That's the hardest landing on top of a helicopter I've ever seen. They smashed him into the side of a mountain just so happens and couldn't.
John
Look for him for a day.
Homburg
Took a while. The president and his like main, main guys were in there like two or three of them. The vice president wasn't there but main dudes were in there and they just smashed him into the side of a mountain over there, Azerbaijan. And they're like can't help but Think that although I am a bigot when it comes to that kind of stuff, I'm an American through and through. And when I think of like an Iranian helicopter, I think of the ones from ma. I don't think they have nice new helicopters because I just don't. I've been taught my whole life that they're poor. I know they've got tons of oil, I know I'm wrong. But whenever they show pictures of it, I never see like an awesome helicopter. Like I see like them. Remember when that one guy got buried, the Khomeini guy, and they had that pine box and they fell out of it like five. Everything they do over there looks like a poor people crazy. It's nuts. So I saw the helicopter on the side. I'm like, well, that's one of the MASH helicopters. Because they're still flying those Korean War era helicopters around and Stu and presidents in them. It was probably a really nice helicopter, like Kobe's, but still I think you're.
John
The ones like in Rambo. The second one, where's the.
Homburg
Just the stick in the bubble helicopters, right?
Patrick Riley
Oh, big ones.
Homburg
Yeah, those big Huey looking things maybe. Yeah, it's all military. Everything I think of when I say Iran's helicopter, it's probably not like ours. Like the President's helicopter is like a plane. Our President Iran. I just picture that they, you know, some dude made it and it barely works.
Patrick Riley
Yeah, he's not rolling in a blue Thunder or werewolf or something.
Homburg
It's like an old like, like Channel 3's like 1988 news chopper got sold to Iran and that's another presidential helicopter. That's because I am a American through and through. And I think of other countries are all garbage because that's what I've been taught since I was a kid. Iran's the first one that I think is garbage I've never seen. First off, everyone I meet from Iran has escaped it and talks about how horrible it is there and everyone on tv, they don't seem happy. And probably because they don't have much technology, but they do. Evidently Tehran is like a pretty advanced place. But I won't see that. All I see is a dump. But I'm pretty sure we killed the President this weekend over there in Iran. That's just super convenient that that dude's chopper went down and there's a bunch.
Patrick Riley
Of them on there too. It wasn't just the President, it was.
Homburg
Oh yeah, Prime Minister. The whole secretary, the whole cabinet's gone, the whole thing. They got Rid of all. And it's just, you know.
John
So it's bell 212.
Homburg
I don't know. Is that a good one?
John
Look. I don't know.
Homburg
Let's look what year, though. We're picturing 61. The bell 212 is A. It's 2. Yeah, it's. It's an old news chopper. It's like an old medical.
John
There you go.
Homburg
That doesn't look like a newfangled deal. It's even still got the back prop instead of that little jet thing like all our cool helicopters.
Patrick Riley
That was gonna be like TC from Magnum PI's helicopter, right?
Homburg
Yeah. That's tight. Yep. O. He couldn't afford that. The Iranian president had to have TC's. I very much like to be in TC's chopper, but we don't have the money. They got tons of money over there. They got. They're controlling the straits. I always think of Iran as a. Just a dump. Everything I think of outside of the United States, maybe Canada, some parts of Europe, all dumps everywhere is a dump compared to here. That's what I say.
John
I was thinking. I mean, when I first saw the story, like, it's a foggy. It was really foggy.
Homburg
Yeah.
John
And I'm like, why are you taking off?
Homburg
Right.
John
We're fine.
Homburg
President around. Over a mountain range in the fog. And that's what they did with Kobe.
John
Yeah.
Homburg
And Kobe was even like, why did they take the great Kobe Bryant on that risky ride? When you take the president of an entire nation that's like, on the brink of causing World War Three and you smash him into the. That just seems a little Archduke Ferdinand to me. I think. I feel like somebody got taken down. There's a savage, suffered a hard landing. They're looking for him. Looking for him. Why? What's a hard landing? Isn't that a crash? I think that's just a crash.
John
What caused it? Yeah. In the fog, you can't see any trace of.
Homburg
Well, the good news is they don't have any technology firing something. They don't have any video cameras or ring cameras in Iran. So nobody's gonna see the missile that we fired from God knows where into that thing. And they'll make the claim and we'll deny it, but I kind of believe we shot it down. I got no beef with that. Maybe dumb might start something awful, but I think Iran's definitely going to say we had something to do with it. They said, oh, this is a story. I just, you know, See, this is the fun of it since they're blaming the fog for the helicopter crash. But the data for the weather forecast in that region the entire day had been completely deleted. I don't know why you delete weather unless you were. People would find out. You could fly around it.
Patrick Riley
It's all on the phone. Let's figure this out.
Homburg
Yeah. Yeah. Schwartz, give me the. The current temperatures in Tehran. It's us or Israel. Somebody shot that thing down. I'm not buying into this hole. Wow. What a coincidence that the guy. The country we can't stand that's making noise all over the place and funding this met with a terrible incident in a bell 212. No way. We'll see. They're definitely going to blame Israel though. I bet you the last words they said before the thing hit the side of the mountain. Goddamn Jews. I bet you that was the last thing that he said. They blame the Jews for that crash. There's no way. They don't. That's. They blame the Jews for everything over there. In fact, I got an Iranian who emailed me and said, your Jeep didn't hit a rock in the windshield. Your big Jew nose cracked. I'm like, shut up. And then like Allah Akbar or something he wrote at the end. Yeah, definitely the light. The helicopter was flying through fog. And then we hear goddamn Jews. And then a bigger fireball. The Jews caused the plane to crash. They did everything. The Jews caused the fog. The Jews made fog. And then they. They pushed it towards the president's helicopter. And now we have no president. Goddamn Jews. We'll be right back with the support. The Jews caused the Tehrain soccer team to lose this weekend. Thinking about how horrible the Jews are. They lost more black with weather.
John
Black box with all the recording on it.
Homburg
That's all you hear.
John
What's in the fog? Is that the star David?
Homburg
Well, you fly around that. Fly around that. There's Jew fog. I. I recognize the Jew is artificial fog. Jew fog. That is Jew fog. The Jews have conjured up fog and they're causing trouble for our aerial. We're in trouble.
Patrick Riley
Band name too.
Homburg
And this mountain was not here before. That's a big Jewish man laying on his back. That's a nose. Yep. I have a feeling this is gonna. They're all gonna blame Israel and we'll sit back and twiddle our thumbs going, we don't know anything about it. It seems just like an unfortunate incident. But I have a feeling we did it. I mean, was there a single person out there who thought, oh, wow, that's unfortunate. Or did every one of us. Oh, the Iranian president's helicopter crashed. Are we gonna get caught? That was it. Might as well just. You might as well have a dog with a belly full of panties. With the guilt that we're riding. It was. And the story better stay straight. But we got that octogenarian who can barely keep his lunch down.
John
He already said it at the commencement speed over the weekend.
Homburg
Jews.
John
We got a good copter yet?
Homburg
Oh, we got a chopper. Get my chopper. Check. Oh, good. Yeah, this one smells of the. This guy says. You're saying it, John. I am. It's got a little Jussie Smollet attached to it. Like the first time you hear the story, you're like, wait a minute, what, two in the morning, 23 below zero and people recognized you. Aren't you bundled up?
John
I saw two guys on the base of the mountain holding a bazooka and they're wearing subway hats.
Homburg
And then they say it was this is maga country. I don't know what they were doing, but they definitely. And then one of them said, aren't you that from Empire or aren't you the president of Iran? It was the weirdest thing. It was one of the two of us, we were on our way. We went to Subway, it was very cold, got ourselves sandwiches. And then the next thing you know, two black guys put the noose around my neck and called me homo F Lord, make me get into the helicopter, build Jew fog and smash us into.
John
Hill fitness training in the mountains.
Homburg
You know, we knew we don't get fog much in Azerbaijan. Mostly only when the Jews come. You know, you read it in their book, the Bible, the locusts and the fog. They do that. The Jews. Jews cause weather.
Patrick Riley
It's gonna be Gene Simmons next solo album, Jew Fog.
Homburg
But likes I just introduced Kiss's new album, Jew Fog takes down Iran and it can be yours for $30. Now, some of that money goes to me, of course, and the rest goes to funding the weather center to bake more Zhu fog so we can kill more bad presidents.

Homburg
Homburg's morning sickness. Yeah, this one just. It just smells. Someone says, where were the Clintons this week? You know, Benjamin Netanyahu? I could get rid of that guy, no problem. Do you need Jew fog? You know what? That might help. Throw up some Jew fog. And then I'll get rid of this helicopter. There's just a guy with grease all over his face and overalls. All right, Mr. President of Iran, your helicopter's all serviced and ready to go. You appear familiar. Do I know you? No, you do not. And don't worry about it. You're not gonna have to remember me for another 45 minutes, because that's all you got left. Very good. Thank you, local Yoko, for fixing helicopter. Why is boy from Alabama fix helicopter in Russia? By John? He's the best. Just standing there with a wrench. All right, Hillary, lift off. I'm not flying that thing, Bill. I gave it a shot.
John
White T shirt with black marker on it says Bell Helicopter.
Homburg
But he's a good one. Listen, his name is Billy. He knows his way around engineering. Would you like to come with us, Billy? Heck, no. I'm never gonna. I mean, I've got stuff to do. Yeah, I have a feeling we may have done that. Guy says, wait a minute, I'm sleeping. I just woke up. Did we down a helicopter? Yeah, we did. We did that. It's. None of this is real. It's just what happens next. Did we cover the story well enough to where they can't fight us? And if we do have Jew fog, awesome job. Leave it to my people to create fog to kill things. As, like, a Stephen King book. The fog, the Jew fog, they're gonna definitely get on us, though. So just prepare yourselves. World War Three. That's why you gotta get out in this beautiful weather while it lasts. Cause you never know when it all hits the fan, when the Jew fog hits us, you know, there I was, staring at beautiful Sedona and wondering, you know, you get into those moments when you're. You know, the mushrooms kick in, and you're staring at Sedona and kind of like, you know, we could all just take a step back and look at things like this and realize, why are we trying so hard to wreck it? You know? And then it all kind of wears off and you look at the tv. If I lived in Iran, I'd want to wreck it, too. If I was stuck down in that Dump. I'd be like, I'm blowing up all the good stuff. And if you blow up all the good stuff, then your stuff doesn't seem so bad. At least it's not blowed up. But it just feels like we could all do better when it comes to that. And then the next thing you know, Jew fog, Iran's president's dad, it's all over and they're yelling at each other non stop. They don't have a Sedona over. They don't have like a weekend retreat. Can't imagine there's a small like village just outside of Tehran by an hour and a half that they can drive to for the vistas and you know, have a movie festival. I don't, I just don't think it happened.
Patrick Riley
You don't think they have an Iranian vortex over there anymore?
Homburg
Yeah, it was right where the tuphol met the mountain met the helicopter. That was the vortex right in the same spot. But anyway, so probably gonna blow it all up.
John
Who's the next man up, I wonder?
Homburg
Their vice president. He was sitting at home, they got it and he's the one that's in line for the next ayatollah job. Like they like this guy a lot, so we'll see. I had a cab driver once from the airport to my house that was from Iran. And he was mad at me, but not because of anything other than that. He had two jobs, his dad had like five jobs. And they loved it here. If you depreciate what goes on here more. Okay, I just flew home. I haven't said a word. If you don't appreciate this place, it will fall apart. It will be your fault. I've witnessed this. Okay, cabby? And that music. If that stuff was going on at my house, I'd kill everybody. I'd be militant immediately if the only Sonos channel I had. Nope. Where's my gun? I'd say it every day. So I don't know if there's a Sedona of Tehran. Come to Tehran. Two hours away. Sedona, Iran. It was like these beautiful mountains. Why do we hate each other so much? And then fog rolls in. That's why the Jewish, they made us not see the vistas. Do they have off roading? That's the thing, you know, I was on Broken Arrow this weekend. There's a bunch of guys out there hanging out. We're all friends. I don't know anybody's political views or anything. We're just all Jeep guys having the times of our lives. Fun. And then I start thinking about, do they have this anywhere else in like Iran? Are they in Iran with jeeps and their shirts off and a cooler of beer in the back just having a party? No.
John
Fully gowned.
Homburg
Yeah, they're in there.
John
They're in dresses in the dunes kind of. I mean, it's Middle east, so yeah, they'll do that.
Homburg
But I mean, the cooler, they're always.
John
Colliding into each other. The ones tumbling down the.
Homburg
They're idiots because they don't have alcohol. So they're drinking like crab juice or whatever it is they like. And some, some disgusting. They're not gotta relax. That scene I saw this weekend. There were people in the middle of Chicken Point, just parked their jeep, put out a picnic table and the four of them were having like a meal in the middle of nowhere, right in the four wheel drive trail. Like this is what it. This doesn't happen. Well, you got to start appreciating the United States and places like it because off roading in Iran, I picture just you're just running from some group of people that are trying to kill you. I don't see it ever being like a relaxing weekend somewhere in Iran. It would be terrifying all the time. Like you don't ever just say, hey, it's Brett's birthday. We're gonna take the boys up to Sedona and we're gonna run around and have some beers and plop down in an Airbnb and head home. It just. That's not. No wonder they're so angry. We need to get them to Sedona. It just takes the edge off of everything. You could be having a terrible time in life. The don't be like, you know what? This isn't so bad. And then you leave and it's great. That's why women go there after divorces with their three friends. Get their grooves back.
Patrick Riley
See any of that this weekend?
Homburg
No, I wasn't paying attention to. I was pretty much quick timing it through the four wheel drive routes and then just relaxing. Didn't go sit at any of. You have to go to resorts for that.
Patrick Riley
Oh, okay.
Homburg
So if you go to the resort, that's when the ladies all spend 300 each and they split two rooms and you know, then they got to bunk up with the one and there's three of them that get along and the one that kind of tags along and that fourth one always gets bunked up with the one that likes it a little. And then that's all they talk about when they're not around each other, but in the meantime, they're at the winery tipping glasses and clinking and stuff.
John
Clink, clink, clink.
Homburg
You're gonna be just fine. And you know what this weekend's name is?
John
It's called Roger Weekend.
Homburg
Can't believe the dog ate the panties. She's gonna be fine. We'll do yoga in the woods. I'm gonna take my shirt off and walk you out into the woods. We'll do yoga.
John
Okay.
Homburg
My ex husband never wanted to do yoga. Yeah, there's a reason for that. Not a Twinkie. You do. Yeah, because I'm. I'm a predator is what I am. Taking advantage of vulnerable women in the woods here. Oh, your downward dog is amazing. Yeah, you'll see if I just get behind you and straighten your hips a little. Is that. Is that better like that? Oh, yeah. I really feel that your hands are so much bigger than Rogers. Quit talking about Roger so much. I think a fog's rolling in. Damn Jews. What? Yeah, I'm anti Semitic. That's another thing Roger always complained about. Roger doesn't sound so bad. So, John, you're not too far off. Their cloud seeding planes try to control weather. They've done that in China. They did it for the Olympics that time. So they're actually a military operation. They produce massive clouds and fog. And he said, and the Jews do it in the shape of giant noses. So you know it's there. Of course it's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's a Holmberg nose cloud. All right, that's enough. They did not design Jew fog after the shape of my nose. They did design it to kill the Iranian president. And by the way, if we did that, how awesome is that? You go back in history and Trojan horses and things like that. If we invented fog to take down a helicopter, that's epic. That's a top fiver right there. That's.
John
Would it bring rain?
Homburg
Well, we can do that. We actually can do it. But I'm saying a fog that's thick enough to come out of the blue and drop a helicopter, That's Trojan. That's. That's history book awesome. And then the Americans invented fog that they could carry around and push in front of aircraft and make them smash in the mountain, that's getting it done. So am I for all this? Because it could cause more trouble? No, but if it was necessary and we don't know why, and we did it that way and we didn't have to shoot it down, we just Fogged it and bailed. Brilliant. That's why I'm proud to be American. It's not beyond my scope of rationalization to sit there and think, yeah, I bet we invented the fog that took that plane down because we're that way. Nothing's standing in our way. We got all the money. I love it. All right, sorry, go ahead.
Patrick Riley
On the list. Sinatra. Fly me the moon for the Iranian president.
Homburg
You think that was plankton on Sinatra? I like to fly me to the moon. Where is all this fog coming from? I think we both know the answer to that, Mr. President. On the morning sickness updates. Morning sickness? We'll be taking off in a second. Please enjoy all the everything that you have here for. Oh, the plane stops every once in a while, by the way, so enjoy yourselves on the flight. Fly me to the moon. I don't see any weather restrictions on the way over to Tehran from Azerbaijan, except for maybe some Jew fog, but we'll look out for that. I'm a little worried about the intermittent quitting of the engine. Seems a little weird.
John
In other words, try to fly above the Jew fog.
Homburg
Let's try to get above the Jew fog's better high though.
Patrick Riley
Get me in on the phone. Find out there was two fog in Tehran that day.
Homburg
And that's another thing. As Americans, is it registered to you at all that maybe one of the guys comes in to a tyranny like meeting, humming and singing this? I love Sinatra. How dare you. Come on, guys, give him credit. Please, Mr. President, the Sinatra is making people uncomfortable. Have you heard this one? This is so great. Are there dudes in in Tehran who collect vinyl? Oh, this is a classic. Shut your mouth. Shut up when he kicks it. Or listen to the tenor when he start. Oh, I know Americans pig dogs, but this guy someday post it when I'm awfully low and the Jew is dead, I will feel a glow. Just. This is the best. We'll start the meeting in 10 minutes, but wait till some author is. That's good. Have you guys seen the girl from Ibanema? Oh, so great. He's boy Dean Martin. And oh so good. Sir, can we get to killing American pig dogs and Jews again? Hey, wait, wait, wait.
Patrick Riley
But that's Sammy Davis. He was a Jew.
Homburg
Sammy Davis is a horrible American pig dog. Jew. What? See? Seriously though, give Sammy his credit.
John
Oh, they have to love this.
Homburg
How can you not like that? Tell me. In Iran this doesn't everybody. There we go. Nepali, Italian pig gods. And they have to sit there with their robes on in a Room with their arms crossed, all angry. I bet Diman got a lot of trim. Hey, how come, as this bit goes on, we all sound more and more like Triumph the Insult Comic? I don't know, but none of us, we're so Americanized. We think if you played this, everybody'd just get shot.
John
Contagious.
Homburg
Nobody. Yeah. Be like, come on, we hate you guys. But that's a good one. Bells will ring Ting a ling Ting a ling a ling and you'll sing the. Hey, if you guys heard this new one, I know it's a risk for me to bring this to the party, but come on, it's pretty cool.
John
I see this more.
Homburg
You think Give it to Me Baby is more popular?
John
Oh, yeah.
Homburg
They're under their robes. Come on, now. This guy was a killer. Did you kill it? No, just again. This stuff is classic. Let him go get a drink. James. Come on. When I came home last night, I don't see it. And all that crap they listen to, I'd be unhappy too. Listen to some good music, get alcohol into your culture and knock all this stuff off. You could solve the world's problem with just, like, a little. A couple of beers. Rick James and Frank Sinatra. That's the Middle. That's peace in the Middle East. Sinatra, come over there and just go, guys, if you don't. If we can't get along after, let's start where we all agree this dude kicked ass, Right? Can we all agree he's American pig dog? Come on. Just listen to the tone and tell me that we can't. They call you ladies. Come on. Speaking of sinning and gambling Tone, any.
John
Way we can change it to Man Luck?
Homburg
What is Lady Luck? Cut her feet off. No, no. Calm down about your religious nonsense and just listen to the words. But there's Lady Luck. She comes like Ben. She a night. Yes. How little fun do you have in your life? But you just find a Sinatra song, and you sit down with the president of Iran and you go, listen, just give me three minutes of your time. Go through luck, be a lady with me, and everything's gonna be fine. And then you play some of your music, and I'll tell you how wrong you are. Isn't it great? No, it's not. It's awful. You know what great is? This dude, like, at the beginning is so much more comfortable. You're turning me on. This whole Sinatra thing. Oh, tell me about his little black friend, the Jew. All right, you know, kind of gotta give him that one. Have you ever seen how they Treated Sammy, though. Yeah, they were pretty rough on Sammy.
John
Joy Bishop, good guy.
Homburg
Joy Bishop, he's good. But they would crush Sammy. Pretty good to carry him around. We like that. Didn't they poke his eye out? No, that was from something else. But if it makes you feel better, yeah, Sinatra poked his eye out. Start there.
John
Now here's Don Rickles, everybody.
Homburg
Oh, he comes out and roasts the Iranian side. Hey, sir, Nice dress. Who is this asshole? Quiet down, hockey puck. There's a better time, but I think that's the right way to go. Get the Italians involved. They've never won a war or done anything really good in their millions of years. I mean the Romans, but that was even. That didn't really account once they became Italy. Italy.
John
They can build stuff.
Homburg
Yeah, they're great. Oh, they're great at coming up with ideas.
Patrick Riley
Kennedy.
Homburg
You did get Kennedy. You've done it before. He was friends with Sinatra. Anyway, I could go on and on about how to solve the world. And a lot of it starts with Frank Sinatra. You pick one and don't pick Sinatra.
Patrick Riley
Oh, all right. Well then let me.
Homburg
Although Fly me to the Moon is pretty awesome. Oh, my kind of template.
Patrick Riley
Toledoing yourself over here.
Homburg
What are you flying into the other house? Listen to that guy. Let me play who's mad after this? And let me see what spring? Usually some guy's wife cuz she's banging Frank. Jupiter, in other words. Did he say Jupiter? That's close. That's close enough. He's one of us. In other words. Baby, kiss me. Just the way Jew looked tonight. They're just idiots. I could solve the world's problem with one album and a six pack. They'd probably kill me because they're so uptight. I could do it. That would work. Maybe a little ayahuasca. Me and the President sit out there. One of them deserts in Iran. What does it all mean, man? You're right. I don't know.
John
I looked at the 29 beautiful places in Iran. Most beautiful.
Homburg
That's a Google search. Your phone just didn't run away.
John
Hold up a boxing helicopter in the mountain. No, very Sedona.
Homburg
Like they have a Sedona place. Holy cow, that place is gorgeous. How are they? Angry. Let's go there for a weekend. I got to go to the vortex. Waterfalls driving me crazy. It's probably all like nuclear fall off or their plutonium plants trying to build.
Patrick Riley
Through the Ju fog to get there. That's the problem.
Homburg
You tried to fly to it. The Jew fog comes in. I've never been. I'm too afraid. But that's the thing we don't know about Iran. I'm sure there's lovely spots, but we never see them. They never, like, focus in on Iran being good.
John
Yeah. If I'd show you that picture, you know, you'd think that's in Europe.
Homburg
Sure, that's beautiful. But I've talked to guys who've been Afghanistan and Iraq. They didn't stumble across many Sedonas. Anthony over there from Eric's family barbecue, had not a lot of glowing reviews of the places he can't wait to return to when this war's over. I'm coming back here. This place is gorgeous.
Patrick Riley
His Yelp reviews aren't that good on.

No, no. He's number three with his barbecue. And then he does not have a number three spot in Iraq to go back to. Nobody's ever said that this is the Sedona of Iraq. People will go to Globe over here to the east of Phoenix and say it's the Iraq of Arizona. But, I mean, other than that. Don't get mad at me. Globe place is weird. Looks like it's been bombed out.

Holmberg's Morning Sickness - Arizona

Release Date: June 30, 2025
In the June 30, 2025 episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness on Arizona's #1 Morning Radio Show, host John Holmberg delves into the shocking news of the Iranian president's fatal helicopter crash. Joined by co-hosts Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo, Holmberg explores the implications of the incident, blending current events with their characteristic blend of humor and provocative commentary.
The episode opens with the hosts discussing the recent tragic event where Iran's president and several high-ranking officials were killed in a helicopter crash in Azerbaijan. Holmberg expresses skepticism about the official reports, speculating that the crash might not have been accidental.
Holmberg (01:09): "It sort of seems like we might have killed that guy because there were some important people on a helicopter and the initial report was a hard landing."
Holmberg and his co-hosts entertain the possibility that external forces, potentially the United States or Israel, were involved in orchestrating the crash. They discuss the nature of the helicopter, questioning whether it was a standard model or something more advanced, which could indicate a deliberate act.
Holmberg (04:16): "It's all military. Everything I think of when I say Iran's helicopter, it's probably not like ours."
The conversation shifts to the technical aspects of the helicopter, with the hosts debating the model and its capabilities. They dismiss the likelihood of advanced Iranian technology being involved, leaning towards the idea that it was an older, less sophisticated model.
Throughout the discussion, Holmberg and his co-hosts make several disparaging remarks about Iran and express anti-Semitic sentiments. They imply that negative stereotypes about Iranians and Jews are rooted in their upbringing and media portrayals.
Holmberg (05:20): "I know they've got tons of oil, I know I'm wrong. But whenever they show pictures of it, I never see like an awesome helicopter."
The hosts use derogatory language and conspiracy theories, suggesting that "Jew fog" was used to obscure the helicopter's movements, leading to the crash. They blame Jews for various mishaps, perpetuating harmful stereotypes and unfounded accusations.
Holmberg (08:27): "They pushed it towards the president's helicopter. And now we have no president. [Anti-Semitic language]."
A significant portion of the episode contrasts American and Iranian societies. The hosts portray the United States as a land of freedom and prosperity, while depicting Iran as technologically backward and inhospitable. They nostalgically reference American symbols like Sedona, Arizona, and its serene landscapes, suggesting that such environments foster peace and relaxation—qualities they believe are lacking in Iran.
Holmberg (17:00): "I see it. You could solve the world's problem with just, like, a little. A couple of beers. Rick James and Frank Sinatra. That's peace in the Middle East."
Holmberg introduces the idea that music, specifically Frank Sinatra's songs, could have a transformative effect on international relations. He fantasizes about using Sinatra's music to bridge cultural divides and prevent conflicts.
Holmberg (20:31): "If we invented fog that they could carry around and push in front of aircraft and make them smash into the mountain, that's history book awesome."
However, the discussion often veers into inappropriate and offensive territory, intertwining the promotion of cultural icons with harmful rhetoric.
As the episode nears its end, Holmberg and his co-hosts reflect on the absurdity of the situation, blending humor with continued speculation about the helicopter crash. They emphasize their distrust of official narratives and suggest that more sinister forces are at play, all while maintaining their provocative and controversial stance.
Holmberg (28:13): "You could solve the world's problem with one album and a six-pack."
The episode concludes with the hosts reiterating their skepticism about the crash being an isolated accident, hinting at the potential for future conflicts and the need for vigilance.
