Brady
Good Thursday morning to you Phoenix.
John Holmberg
Hello world.
Brady
Hi. Officials in Anderson, South Carolina said a man found human remains while hiking. However, instead of notifying police immediately, he brought the bones to a Goodwill store, a drop off store, and picked up a box. Put the bones in the box, then took them to the police department. Then the. Was it. Then the police went back. He said, what area? You were hiking. They went back there. They found several more bones. They had been there for a while. Bones didn't match. But they're like, why? You know, I could see. I guess you put them in a box and then go to the police department.
John Holmberg
Sure.
Brady
Bone don't fit.
John Holmberg
You must have quit.
Brett
No. Never take bones that you see.
Brady
Human bones.
John Holmberg
Really? I would have thought the other way.
Brett
Tell the police where they are.
John Holmberg
Let them keep walking. No, Brett told me. Walking. Yeah. Brett told me ignore it or kick it around or move stuff. Right, that. Yeah.
Brett
Disturb the crime scene.
John Holmberg
Is that what you said? You say call the police and make sure that. Oh, I guess I see some logic in that. Where.
Brady
Officials say the bones appeared have been there for a long time. And they were scattered in a large area. Cup noodles has a new flavor out. I don't. Not sure it's gonna make its way to the U.S. it's using the puffer fish, the fugu, which is that poisonous fugu. Chefs train two years to make ramen to learn to serve this fugu takes 19 seconds.
John Holmberg
Jesus. Add water. Yeah.
Brady
No, you can make the ramen in two minutes. But they got the fugu oil in there.
John Holmberg
And they have to make sure it's not deadly, right? Yeah.
Brady
Because every part of that fish, the skin, the organs, bones, it'll kill blood, all is loaded with poison.
John Holmberg
Worth the risk.
Brady
You have to prepare it just right.
John Holmberg
And if not, you die. So enjoy your ramen.
Brady
The fugu.
John Holmberg
No, ramen noodle.
Brady
Two bucks a cup at best.
John Holmberg
Ramen's okay. You can get a good ramen. It's okay. It's not worth the poison due to order.
Brett
And ramen in Japan is a whole other.
John Holmberg
Oh, sure. Experience.
Brady
So many varieties they have.
Brett
It's like a vending machine. You go to a vending machine, you click what you want and it gives you a ticket. And then somebody goes and makes it.
John Holmberg
Sounds like burgers here.
Brett
Order it from a menu.
John Holmberg
Japanese people probably come here.
Brady
They're gonna put peanut butter.
John Holmberg
They have everything on a burger. You'll be amazing there. They're like ramen. Watch this.
Brady
These are the ones you love. This lady in Genesee County, Michigan, went to a tarot card reader, got a reading.
John Holmberg
Smart already.
Brady
The lady told her she was gonna come into some money very soon. She played the 50 time wild scratch off lottery ticket in Michigan. Won $500,000.
John Holmberg
Nice. That's pretty great.
Brady
Sent me the information on the tarot card. Reader. Cause I'm sure she could get a lot of business right now. You're not going to come into money.
John Holmberg
Don't. Don't worry about it.
Brady
Oh, my gosh, you're so right.
John Holmberg
I just feel bad for people who open the door. You just do that thing at the. Is this the tarot card place? Of course it is. Sit down. Oh, my life. My life is waiting for you. And if. If I was a tarot card reader, I just. I'd throw out the cards and it'd be like, oh, you're at rock bottom. And I'd say it to everybody who's in there, because if you go to a tarot card reading, you're at rock bottom. You have run out of options on how to fix lives. You need a. I just won The Powerball.
Brady
The 1.2 bill.
John Holmberg
You're. Why are you here? I don't know. Having a little fun on the side, I guess. Ooh.
Brady
This card here is going to say you're going to lose a lot of money.
John Holmberg
Your. Your. Your life's not working out, is it?
Brady
How do you.
John Holmberg
You're just. You see, it's also clear. Yeah. Otherwise you wouldn't be at a tarot card reading.
Brady
This restaurant in Indianapolis is receiving some backlash.
John Holmberg
Mm. It's all over, folks. He's got it down. Damn it. It was more entertaining. Good.
Brett
Solid pause, though.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady
It's called Plantastic. It's a small vegan restaurant with a focus on fighting climate change through food. It opened up four months ago with about 10 tables. The small staff, but the owners, Tana and Gary Bartlett, say they've put. So. Put most of their savings into this. Their former career or engineers. They are now saying the restaurant bans kids under five, citing that they've had to pick up dirty diapers off the table and also banned breastfeeding in public routine.
John Holmberg
It is happening.
Brady
Vegan restaurant.
John Holmberg
I don't like vegan stuff, but I'll go there. The great child backlash is occurring.
Brady
The people weren't so upset about banning kids under 5, but how dare you try to stop our breastfeeding?
John Holmberg
Well, depends on what you look like. I only ban it for disgusting women.
Brady
The banning under five is okay, but there is some problems with the breastfeeding because you can't just go do it in the bathroom. According to City coach. Like, they have to breastfeed. Yeah, I don't know what the big.
John Holmberg
Deal, but it's like that Joey Chestnut thing with the vegans, too. Like, they're mad at him for having vegan hot dogs as a sponsor. And Nathan's just like, how dare you. And it's like, hey.
Brady
But then Nathan's realized that we just screwed up our whole tournament. You know what? You're welcome back.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And then him and Kobayashi are going to have a one on one in September. September. They're going head to head.
Brady
He's coming out of retirement.
John Holmberg
Hot Dog eating. One on one Mano a mano wiener festival. Don't Google that. Talk about money. Don't google mono a mano Wiener eaters.
Brett
You're gonna end up with one of Brett's videos. Oh, you're gonna end up with the one from yesterday.
John Holmberg
Oh, it just directs you to the alt Az website. Yeah, yeah. What's Mo up to put mono o mano wiener eaters. And suddenly I'm learning about 21 pilots. By the way, Kyle makes a great point. If you ban people under five, haven't you in turn banned breastfeeding?
Brett
Bingo.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
If there's, if there's still a breastfeeding problem and nobody cares about banning somebody under five, then there's people who have five plus year old kids that they want to breastfeed. Yeah. Yeah. The vegan place saying, hey, we ban anybody with coming in here who's under five years old.
Brady
I think what they're also saying is five also is the cut for the most part. No more diapers.
John Holmberg
Okay, but it doesn't matter.
Brady
Maybe that's right because they were complaining that people would leave. They had a couple of cases. Well, people would have that folded up diaper and leave it on top of the table.
John Holmberg
I don't know. If a five year old's in diapers, that's a dumb five year old. You've got yourself a goofy five year old. But if you ban five, you pretty much ban diapers and breastfeeding. And if anybody's, if there's quote as Brady calls it, backlash going into that restaurant saying, why have you banned breastfeeding? I'm fine with that five year old thing, but I want to breastfeed my kid in here. How old is it? Because if it's under five, we've already killed that problem. Not killed it, but again, I do have more liberal abortion laws though.
Brady
Yikes.
John Holmberg
I do. I can't believe how archaic our abortion. Here's the other thing. Breastfeeding isn't vegan. They're at a vegan restaurant. That's true. It's dairy. Vegans don't eat that unless it's just human dairy. No, they get rid of Milk. Animal dairy, though.
Brett
Maybe.
John Holmberg
I don't know. Anything's from an animal. But I've gotten a few that say breastfeeding's not. I don't know anything about it.
Brady
Soy milk.
John Holmberg
It's all natural mom milk.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Good band name. Natural mom milk. All natural mom milk. I like that. Yeah. I don't know how that works with.
Brady
It wouldn't be. I don't think.
John Holmberg
I don't know. Is it considered dairy when it comes out of your mother's teat or any mother's teat? What if I drank someone else's breast milk, which I've done. Am I. Is that anti vegan or does it just have to be. I think it's okay, but it has to be straight from the natural mom tap. Hey, I don't care about that. Where were you drinking breast milk at? A lady here. Yeah. August 5, 2005. Shot breast milk into my mouth from across the room. Further.
Brett
Further away than you are, Brett.
John Holmberg
She had a 13 foot stream on that thing. Clown's mouthed me too. I just opened my mouth and. I mean, it was. She didn't.
Brett
She was giddy about it.
John Holmberg
Oh, it was great. Well, I was more impressed that she didn't dabble. I didn't get hit in the face. It was right tongue shot. It was warm and it tasted like. When you leave Sugar Pops in the milk. It tasted like Sugar Pops milk, only it was warm. It was 98.7 degrees. It was her body temp. I didn't take it directly from the tap, but she squeezed that thing and. Right into the mouth hole. And I do it again just for the spectacle of it all. But not at that vegan restaurant. But is that vegan or am I anti vegan? Because that was some other lady's dairy. I think vegan is animal stuff. I think that she's just another animal on the planet. Well, you know, not human. Yeah.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
I don't know how it works. I think that's how vegan is. Yeah, I think so too. That you don't take anything from an animal. Right. Including their breast milk. But I'll do it again because some of those crazy ones you can't even wear like leather shoes or jackets and stuff. It says vegan is just cruelty free to animals. So breastfeeding is vegan.
Brady
So when you buy like vegan butter, it means the treatment of the cows.
John Holmberg
What are you worried about that?
Brady
I don't know. I just see it in our account. Ronnie buys vegan.
John Holmberg
She does. He's heard rumors about That I think.
Brady
Nothing to do with it.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it doesn't have any animals in it. Yeah. I think it's plant based. Plant based butter or something like that. That's my guess. I know. Don't. Now you're going to go right to look at them reaching. Look at them reaching.
Brett
Because what makes automatic.
Brady
It's automatic because you're not probably sore. I mean the cow is.
John Holmberg
That was Pavlovian diet.
Brady
And you're not really taking. But taking them.
John Holmberg
No. But anything comes from an animal they don't use. And cruelty free is different than like zero.
Brett
The vegan discussion you sit out on.
John Holmberg
You don't need to.
Brady
Insects eating locusts and stuff like that.
Brett
Probably.
John Holmberg
I don't know. Here's the thing. I guarantee you there's la candlelights in your fridge too. So stop touching her vegan butter. That's not yours. Can you imagine him putting the wrong thing on his toaster?
Brady
Oh my God.
John Holmberg
What the. Is this vegan? And what is this crap over here too? There's some curdled cheese in here. Cota hay, pata hay cheese.
Brady
What is this?
John Holmberg
Cottage cheese? Look, it's rotten.
Brady
I'll go with the Kerrygold Irish butter.
John Holmberg
I don't know what that is. You just got vegan.
Brett
That's because it's not vegan.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you said that like you were jerking off. By the way. There was an awful lot of satisfaction. All right. I don't know how it works with mother's breasts, but you stay out of the vegan aisles, you're just gonna cause a ruckus. You're like a Palestinian protester and a vegan aisle. We know you're there to cause trouble.

It's John Holmberg here and it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of my home group and dough hopkins dot com. If I told you I had an idea for a project and said to you in order to finish the project We've got about 10 steps to go through, and seven or eight of them are time consuming and could ruin the entire thing. Doug Hopkins, he offers you cash for your home, as is right now, and that process is over. He doesn't change that price. You get $5,000 guaranteed. Your house is sold. Start the process online right now@doug hopkins.com or grab that phone and sing Hopkins Holmberg's Morning Sickness. Wait, you don't ever eat mom cheese? No, sir. No, Philip, I don't. If mom made cheese directly from the tap, I'd be upset with that.
Brady
There's a new trend, travel trend going called destination dupes to help people save money. Basically, 61% of Americans say they're interested in a dupe of a vacation destination to save money. Like going to Memphis instead of Nashville or Napa, California instead of Tuscany. Italy.
John Holmberg
Oh, just cheaper. Okay.
Brady
Belfast instead of London. Liverpool instead of London.
John Holmberg
But are you telling people you're going to London?
Brady
No, they're just saying for a similar experience. Or. Oh, like Leavenworth, Washington, instead of Bavaria, Germany.
Brett
Leavenworth's great, but it is nowhere near Germany.
John Holmberg
You're nowhere near Germans. How is the experience even close?
Brady
Oh, because they made it a German town.
John Holmberg
Okay. But it's in America and everybody speaks English.
Brady
And it's Newport, Rhode island, instead of Nice, France.
John Holmberg
That's dumb. No, that's that one in California. The one that in wine country. It's like a Norwegian town or Swedish town. Solvang. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Yeah. And they've got pea Soup Anderson. Yeah, that place. Crazy huge restaurant full of peace, pea soup and huge. Yeah, it's Solvang and whale tonight or no. Is that right? I think that's right. But is that in that wine? Yes. And sideways.
Brady
Yes.
John Holmberg
It's a great place. I went to Pea Soup Anderson's a lot. You go in there. I don't like pea soup, but it smells really good. There's 7 million different tables in there, and they're all just cramming down green. And I mean, the whole place stinks. But it's on the Avenue of the Flags, which is really neat. And then there's another place, the Lady Madonna Inn, and that's pretty close to that, too. And it's known for its bathrooms. The bathrooms are extraordinary. They were all mirrored and, like, really well done. It's a neat little area. But you're right, it's kind of a. It's bush league. Yeah. Wine country. But it's wine country and that, you know, Antelope Valley, I think is behind it is stunning.
Brady
Another one. They said western Colorado instead of Iceland.
John Holmberg
No, it's Colorado.
Brady
Tarpon Springs, Florida, instead of the Greek Isles.
John Holmberg
None of this matters. Why, instead of quit being cheap, you're going to Florida. Colonnaded.
Brady
Dupe.
John Holmberg
And how is it duplicated? I went to Colorado instead of Iceland. Well, you went to Colorado. You didn't even have to add the last.
Brett
I think you're using that word dupe wrong.
John Holmberg
Yeah, because it's not in place of destination dupes. Destination, dumbass. You went to Colorado. Don't bring in that. Instead of Iceland. No, instead of the moon, I went to Mesa. I'm like, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Well, it doesn't replace the moon. Right? Neither did Colorado replace Iceland. Go to your freezer and say you went to Iceland.
Brady
TripAdvisor released its list of the best tourist attractions in the world in 2024. They base it on reviews. So what? People who recently went there thought of it.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Brady
The number one this year was in the US The Empire State Building. Number one tourist attraction in the world based upon reviews.
John Holmberg
Oh, oh, oh. Good. Good trip, I see.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Toledo certainly isn't going to be on the list of best yacht vacations.
Brady
Number two is the Eiffel Tower.
John Holmberg
Said no one ever said everyone who went there. No, exactly. Everyone who went there. It's better than I thought. I'd still rather be in New York City.
Brady
Number three, the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.
John Holmberg
Now that is i5.
Brett
Come on anchor watch.
John Holmberg
I'll give you no, because I'm still in Amsterdam when I leave Anne Frank's house all sad, at least I can get stoned to the beach. Jesus.
Brady
And the Sagrada Familia in the church in Spain. The Crystal Caves and the Cayman Islands.
John Holmberg
Empire State Building beat all this stuff.
Brady
Yeah. The Coliseum in Rome. The Louvre in Paris.
John Holmberg
By the way, how about us as humans making Anne Frank a tourist attraction? Put that on for a second.
Brett
Exactly.
John Holmberg
Wander around in the attic that little girl got. Had to hide from the Nazis until they found her. Sure. How much? 15 bucks.
Brett
Feel the same way about, like, Auschwitz?
Brady
Why would you go there?
Brett
I mean, other than the history, I mean.
John Holmberg
Right? But that's like a semi.
Brady
And you're the guy that gives it a bad review.
John Holmberg
Yeah. What? There was zero churro stands? I heard churros were popular here. Do they have like a lemonade or Pepsi machine at Auschwitz or something? They have to, right? You have to supply some.
Brady
I don't think so.
John Holmberg
They gotta have a pop. No, there's hot days in Auschwitz, trust me.
Brett
On the outside of town, maybe.
John Holmberg
Maybe in the train. Do they train you in. Is that like part of the.
Brady
Or if there's any dining area.
John Holmberg
I don't know how you get there.
Brady
I don't think you in.
John Holmberg
It's pre built.
Brady
I'm pretty sure there's none of that.
John Holmberg
There's no Pepsi machine. Like there isn't a visitor center. There has to be. Has to be. There's a Pepsi machine in there.
Brady
I think they tell you.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it would be tough to walk around Auschwitz with a Pepsi in your hand though.
Brady
Yeah. Because then you're dealing with anything with a logo.
Brett
Trash anything with a logo.
John Holmberg
Well, not even that lit. If you litter at Auschwitz, you're a bigger dick than him. Like if you walk through the hallowed grounds and just toss the can on the ground, somebody will get it. That's just dick. Yeah, you might be right. They might not. Do they have trash cans or like hot dogs?
Brady
Like, you don't want to deal with that.
John Holmberg
No, I guess not. So they tell you before, I hope. Just like they did originally. I hope you all had something to eat before we get there because you're not getting fed at Auschwitz. Well, that's. You haven't changed at all.
Brady
The only one close to your comment. Toledo was the Abu Dhabi's largest mosque, the Sheikh Zayd.
John Holmberg
Are you looking at Auschwitz on a map?
Brett
That's the memorial. That's not.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's not Auschwitz. You look at them, they're off in the woods. The Dachau one is horrifying.
Brady
Oh yeah, it's outside of the.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they didn't plop that thing right down in the cities. Horrible. Yeah. And I don't. I would visit it just because history is so fascinating and. But there's no. That's just not a fun day. I went to the Kennedy sixth floor museum. Had a great time up there. And then I felt real bad that I had such a great time up there. Like, this is a really awful place.
Brady
The fact that you wanted to come back.
John Holmberg
I did it three times. Every time I'm in Dallas, I go to that thing.
Brady
You want to eventually have Thanksgiving?
John Holmberg
Yeah, I want to eat on the X. But that has more to do with the fact that he represents Thanksgiving to me because of all the specials. But yeah, Oshwit's a little different. And Anne Frank's house, evidently, I've seen pictures of it. You have to climb like a straight up and down ladder to get into the attic. It's like dangerous. They won't let certain people do forever. Why?
Brady
Well, I mean, there's got to be a line.
John Holmberg
Oh, sure.
Brady
I mean, how much. You know, probably resolution. Take some time individually up there. And I keep.
John Holmberg
Isn't that big.
Brady
So I'm saying so. And ultimately maybe. Maybe it's appointment only.
John Holmberg
I would assume they have reservations.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Ultimately, it's an attic. You're just going up there to feel terrible. There isn't any. Nobody's going up there going. This isn't so bad.
Brady
In a retirement.
Brett
So there's a gate.
John Holmberg
There's Auschwitz. Is there. Do you see a Pepsi machine on the GPS or like a refreshments? Because a lot of times they'll put a little fork and knife, like nearby.
Brady
What's the closest Wolf Games bistro right outside McDonald's. McDonald's.
John Holmberg
Way to go, America. Plopped a McDonald's down outside Auschwitz. Last stop.
Brett
That's the only one that pops up on the map.
John Holmberg
No more food for five miles.
Brady
Where was that located? That was pretty far outside.
Brett
Blocks off by the thing.
Brady
It's not on the property or less.
Brett
Than a mile away.
Brady
Yeah, that's.
John Holmberg
Would you call that a food desert? Just saying.
Brett
Just hit me.
John Holmberg
No, that's. It's a tough thing to open a.
Brady
Restaurant on the actual property. Yeah, there's no.
John Holmberg
As a capitalist, we've made it a tourist attraction. It got to be a guy who's like, well, there's a lot of people coming through here. I could run a pretty nice business selling schnitzel.
Brett
Closest thing is you get water at the fountain of tears.
John Holmberg
It's just all awful. The whole trip to me seems like I can get enough of this on tv. I don't need to stand there, be horrified. It's the saddest place on the planet. But they have to have Pepsi or Coke.
Brett
Your closest thing to a gift shop is a bookstore.
John Holmberg
Or what if they had like a soda you didn't like? Like they still had Sierra Mist or something like, ah, crap, this sucks. You can't say that at Auschwitz.
Brett
Shasta.
John Holmberg
I like Shasta. I'd be all right with that.
Brett
Faygo.
John Holmberg
Faygo's good too. Yeah, let's not get upset about those. Knee high. Maybe a little bit. Actually. Probably a nostalgic.
Brady
The only one I would say is be real happy is elf diet cola.
John Holmberg
But if you went in there, you're like, all right, Coke. You can't get too excited, you know, that is a rough place. And it's a tourist attraction. What we consider tourist attractions is weird. It's a lot of tragedy that we go to. Well, you don't have, like, places that celebrate awesome stuff. Mostly where people Croat, like, we don't go to where, like, I don't be bad for them too, I suppose, where we, like, we don't go to Hiroshima. And like.
Brady
Yeah, Ground zero.
John Holmberg
We got him. Here's your. Yeah, I know, but I mean. Yeah, Al Qaeda. Would they go and celebrate Ground zero? Yeah, but there's no happy memorials. God, I don't want to look at that. That's awful. Just pictures of it on GPS and just Google.
Brett
It's way bigger than what imagine.
John Holmberg
Anyway, that's a tourist attraction, and you can Yelp it.
Brady
This woman in New Zealand just sued her boyfriend of six years for not driving her to the airport. You hear about this story? She said, sure, he's supposed to pick her up, take her to the airport. I heard a little bit of it yesterday, but I wanted to dive into it because he also promised to stay home at her house and dog sit. So they live separately.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Brady
They've been going out for six years. No showed to pick her up, take her to the airport, and didn't ever go to the house.
John Holmberg
Didn't fix the dog either, so she.
Brady
Took him to court.
Brett
Did Brett get to him?
John Holmberg
Yeah. Where did we find this guy? I bet you 36th Street, McDowell and dog sitter is going to be somewhere in that area.
Brady
The judge heard the case and considered whether that the agreement was legally binding, but decided not to award her any money.
John Holmberg
Good. Really? I called goddamn Uber.
Brady
That's what I'm saying.
John Holmberg
Like, if he didn't call a friend. Yeah, but you hired. She did. If I call you another friend, if I hired you to watch my dogs and you just didn't show up, I might sue you, too. Yeah, but you call another friend. But I don't know, you're not showing up till I get home.
Brady
So she.
John Holmberg
I thought she didn't even make the trip because she couldn't get a ride to the airport. Well, that's okay. If that's the case, why does she need a dog sitter?
Brady
Well, that. Well, after the fact, she threw that in there.
John Holmberg
So she actually.
Brady
She's just being cheap. Wait a minute. She did not. She went the next day.
John Holmberg
Oh, and he knew that then? Because I assume your girlfriend calls you and says, that's on her. Yeah, but she still trusted him. Okay, that's the first date. What, you think he's going to show up now. I'll change on that one. You're right. He didn't show up to pick you up. You're going to call him and say, hey, still, I still trust you enough to watch my dog. You're right. All right, you swung me on this. Well done. Because at first I'm thinking, so she.
Brady
Threw that in there. Basically the cost of the shuttle and the cost of the dog sitter.
John Holmberg
Right.
Brady
