A friend of mine has taken me and pictures with dogs and he's replaced the dogs with his son. As if I'm holding and loving on children and I just.
Brady Bogan
You modified it.
Brett
I modified the hell out of it. I like. I like. I heard the modifications. I like it too much, actually. I think it's. But it's gross and it's wrong. All right, I'm sorry. We've all done terrible things in our lives. This is one that I think even I might go to Brady's confession. Great picture. Did you see the picture?
Brady Bogan
I didn't see the picture.

Kevin
Holmberg's morning sickness.
Brett
Here we go. Here goes some audio slave for you. And we're right now we're ready to go with this whole thing. Volbeat. This is an amazing prize. And by the way, we got the Volbeat one coming up. July 26th. What a great show over at the Talking Stick Amphitheater. Amazing. The gang at Q Prime that run this operation have given us this with Disturbed and now with Volbeat on my birthday, July 26th and then again a little later this summer. What's the date on that around? Don't give a dead out. It's somewhere at the end of August. We're going to do this again with another band.
John Holmberg
You know, it's going to be hot as hell, but it's going to be worth it.
Brett
It's going to be pretty. And there's a chance Jace Momoa will be backstage again. Great with you. Yeah. These guys at Q Prime have just been awesome to us. And Larry McFeely, king of CUPD. Awesome job putting this together too because these are. These are the types of things that radio used to do back when. Back when they used to pay for stuff. Now that radio's dead broke. Everywhere but kupd. Yeah, they're all dying. The whole thing's a mess. Just read the update. Not good. It's not our fault. We're doing our part. But man oh man, Larry's killing it. Got this deal with Q Prime and this is awesome. Awesome. And we're the only ones doing stuff like that. I gotta give John J. And Rich a shot. They do that every once in a while. They'll. They'll knock out a thing where you can hang out with Taylor Swift and things like that. I'm somewhat impressed. It's been a while. It's been a minute. But they. They used to do that. So we're still doing it. And this Is cool. So you can get out with the Volbeat, but we got to let you earn it. And you want to be with Volbeat, we got to know you're a fan of Volbeat. We don't want you back there going, oh, just won something. I wanted some free stuff. We want to make sure you're a fan of Volbeat. So the post it game with Volbeat is here. Brady, I'm going to give you the first shot here. Just show people what the post it game is. I'm going to give you seven seconds. That's all you need. The song is called Fallen. It's by Volbeat. You're at kupd. Your name is Brady Bogan.
Brady Bogan
Okay?
Brett
That's all you need to do here, Brady. Just to show them what this is. Brady. Post it go98kupd.
Brady Bogan
It's Brady Bogan, and you're listening to Little Volbeat. And it's one of my favorite songs.
John Holmberg
Check it out.
Brett
Pretty good post right there. Terrible break, but it was pretty.
Brady Bogan
I forgot the name of the song.
Brett
That's all right. It's okay. Yeah, I put you on the spot.
John Holmberg
Are we ending with call letters, though?
Brett
Got in with call letters. Freddie kind of screwed that up a little bit, so, you know, you get a little. Not bad. He'll pop. Nervous.
John Holmberg
He's nervous.
Brett
He was. He didn't know he was gonna have to do that.
Brady Bogan
I thought so. That's overkill in the call letters with opening and closing.
Brett
No, no. You want to open with them and close with them. All those seven. Seven second hits. Pretty tight.
John Holmberg
Or you could do Big Red Radio.
Brett
Or something like that, you know, PD can you. That's right. Your call wasn't correct because you kind of want to, but like. Yeah, he's right. Big Red Radio. You can. Yeah, you don't have to do 98 kp. That's a pro move. You're not good at this. You don't do this part. You're the guy on the outside making you do the hosting part. It's awful. I'm terrible at it. Brett, show them how it's done. Seal the deal. 20 seconds. Ready?
John Holmberg
Oh, man.
Brett
Go.
John Holmberg
The Big Red Radio. 98 KUPD. Well, Volbeat's coming to town. Going to be the auction pavilion or whatever the hell they're calling it nowadays. Tickets are available right now. Go to the sanderson ford concert calendar, 98kupd.com and you know you're going to see these boys. The guy sounds a little like Cher. It's the bull beat.
Brett
I forgot the Name song, too. What's the matter with you? I know, I know.
John Holmberg
I had it, too.
Brett
Yeah, you were cruising.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it's not Sanderson Ford. It's the Corners 2 concert calendar.
Brett
Christ on it. I know.
John Holmberg
Well, I do it once a year now, so.
Brett
It's the core concert calendar.
John Holmberg
Core institute concert calendar@98kupd.com.
Brett
Well, it's too late now.
John Holmberg
I know.
Brett
Don't try to fix it now, Frady. You won't. He posted it. Neither of you did a very good job as far as, like, getting hired.
John Holmberg
Good. He can come in in the middle of the night and do those Easter cat guys. That's a good overnights.
Brett
Brady's better. All right, let's go to it. Now that we've explained it, I guess in ways that Kevin is online.
John Holmberg
One lead by exam.
Brett
Kevin, are you there?
Kevin
Hello?
Brett
Hi, Kevin. How are you?
Kevin
Hello, John.
Brett
Good.
Kevin
Good morning.
Brett
You're jumping the gun on me a little, Kevin. You're starting to answer my questions before, like you're some sort of a precog. All right, Kevin, do you. Are you a big Volbeat fan?
Kevin
Yes, I am, John.
Brett
What's your favorite song by Volbeat, Kevin?
Kevin
Hard to say. I like all of them.
Brett
All right, Are you on a speakerphone or are you just. God, no.
Kevin
I was just in the racquetball court because I'm at the rec center.
Brett
Oh, you're in a racquetball. You're playing a little racquetball this morning?
Kevin
I took a little break for you, though.
Brett
All right, let's do this.
Kevin
It needs a couple minutes.
Brett
All right. You want to go see volbeat? This is an amazing backstage experience where you get to hang with the band. You get to. They call it the goat package or the greatest of all time. As far as a fan goes. I'm going to give you. I'm going to give you a Warriors call, which is 38 seconds to express to us exactly what kind of Volbeat fan you are. Are you ready?
Kevin
Yes, sir.
Brett
All right, here we go, my friend. You're going to hear the music in the back. Don't be afraid to get loud. It's a Warriors call. Volbeat. Here you go and get them, Kevin.
Kevin
My dear K T, this is Kevin. Volbeat is coming to town. And don't be a jer. Is try to sell these tickets. We don't want that. We want actual fans to go, so we're asking you to get up.

Brett
P. He posted the music, but you're fired for racism. Yeah.
John Holmberg
No, no, he didn't know.
Brett
You know what? The promise break, we said that there's a secret way to win this, and they thought, I know what it is. If Brett's the dead, we're not complaining about this. Call people Jews.
Kevin
I thought I forgot to name. I'm sorry about the broads. I forgot to talk about the dinky broad.
John Holmberg
If you'd included broads, you'd have been in.
Brett
You throwing broads at us?
Kevin
Oh, man, I forgot the broad.
Brett
But let me tell you, as a radio professional in 2025, and I can tell you from experience of for a long time, it is now frowned upon to start a break with don't be a Jew. It used to be.
Kevin
Okay, you want actual fanfare home?
Brett
Get your checkbook out, pal.
Kevin
Go on ticket. Sell this for 50 bucks.
Brett
All right, hang on a second, Kevin. Hang on. I actually liked his attitude, but, boy, that hole.
John Holmberg
I like him.
Brady Bogan
He was trying to do a Brett style.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
He's in first place as far as I'm concerned.
Brett
It doesn't start breaking. Don't be a Jew. You can't do that. Got a little aggressive. Yeah. Coming out of the gates. I mean, that's. There's a march involved. All right, let's try David. David's a girl.
John Holmberg
Yeah. That's Kim.
Brett
Kim is a girl. She's online there. Kimberly?
Kevin
Yeah.
Brett
Kimberly, are you there?
Kimberly
I am. Hi. Hi, John. I've met you before.
Brett
Okay.
Kimberly
And Brady.
Brett
Did we have a fun time. How was I? Hi, Kimberly.
Kimberly
It was great. I used to live in Gilbert with Brady. And then. I've met you before. I've met both of y', all, and I love you. Bret, I haven't met you yet, but I'm sure you're just as great.
Brett
Where did we meet?
Kimberly
We met at a couple of different events. One was a beer garden event in Tempe, and one was at a comedy show in Desert Ridge. And also Tempe or the Comedy Central or the comedy club in Tempe.
Brett
That's a lot of words. The improv did brave your eye. Either. Did we either. Did either of us close?
Kevin
Did we.
Brett
What did we close? Did we. Did Brady or did anybody get.
Kimberly
No, we didn't. You were with. I think you were with your first wife. And then Brady.
Brett
Jesus, man.
Kimberly
But he hugged me, so apparently I'm good because he has.
Brett
Oh, Brady gave you a hug then. You look good if you put on.
Kimberly
A lot of Brady hugs.
Brett
It's John Holberg here, and it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of my home group and Doug 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, 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 1-800-sale now.
Kevin

John Holmberg
It wasn't a fist bump.
Brett

Brett
Frenchie. Yeah. We gave you stuff last year and you tried to steal our VR helmet. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I know. You can't trust a Frenchman. He tried to steal our. Our VR helmets and say that they weren't in the package. That was the only thing we wanted. And you took him, but we got him back. You were a decent Frenchman because you surrendered quickly. All right, Are you ready? You're a big Volbeat fan, John.

Happily divorced. And what was your ex wife's dress size?
Kevin
In the double digits.
Brett
Oh, congratulations. At the beginning. Yeah. What was it when you married?
Kevin
Probably single digits.
Brett
Single digits. And she doubled. It was close. She doubled her. She doubled it. Did she go from a 6 to a 12? That's doubling.
Kevin
No, it was probably more like a 9. She was right in the single digits.
Brett
No, she was barely hanging on to single digits. Did she jump up to like an 18?
Kevin
Not that bad, no.
Brett
Okay, so she just found she was on the cusp, but you just hated her and got rid of her? Yeah, sure.
John Holmberg
Is that Christopher Walken?
Brett
Sure, sure. I hated her. I Fed it to the alligators. All right, here we go. Volbeat fan, I assume I'm gonna give you. Let's go with Shotgun Blues. Love this song. Shotgun blues has a 25 second ramp. You can be a huge Volbeat fan and qualify for this thing if you get this right. Are you ready?

John Holmberg
Stumbled all over that thing.
Brett
I swear to God. I was gonna say I want to DNA Andrew. I want a DNA tattoo. I think you might be Brady's son. All right, judges. Brad, go with that. He posted it.
John Holmberg
He stepped all over it, though.

John Holmberg
Wow, look at him.
Brett
All right, do you want to apologize to the Jews?
Kevin
Well, I'm actually a quarter Jewish, so every leap year I get to say stuff like this.
Brett
There you go. You're so in.
Kevin
That.
Brett
That was a great excuse. I've never heard a better one. All right, thank you, Kevin. Hang on a second. We'll qualify you too. And Kim, let's see if Kimberly wants to actually try. Kimberly, would you like to try? If you lose, you'll lose your prize.
Kimberly
No, I will take my wonderful auto. Qualified for keeping it tight.
Brett
That's Right. Keep it tight. And don't ever bitch about, like, you know, how your looks don't get you somewhere.
Kimberly
I will never bitch about that.
Brett
Isn't it great? Only people who do that are ugly.
Kimberly
Yeah, I know, right?
Brett
Yeah. It's so true. And you feel. Rate yourself. I like this, what he did. You're on a scale of 1 to 10. Where do you put you? You. I'm not gonna fight you. I would.
Kimberly
I would put myself at an 8. I've got, like, pretty brown eyes. I've got, like, espresso. Dark brown hair with some ash highlight.
Brett
Okay, stop it. What is.
Kimberly
Great legs.
Brett
Yeah. Brett wanted to know what you said about the rack augmented. They're big, natural.
Kimberly
No, they're real.
Kevin
They're real.
Brett
How old?
Kevin
Hello.
Kimberly
Well, I'm 54, but I don't look 54.
Brett
54 natural breasts. That's no good. Picture Z Toledo at 98ks natural big ones at 54.
Kimberly
I knew y' all were gonna do that.
Brett
Oh, no, it's true, though. It's okay. But you can't have. You can't go bragging about your big breasts at 54. That's like me talking about my sack at 53. It's nasty.
Kimberly
Well, you do talk about your sack.
Brett
I know. And I tell you how awful it is.
Kimberly
I ain't bragging about it because it hits the toilet.
Brett
It's in the water. It's deep. Yesterday, I had to do a double hook. Half it went in, and I still had it. One of them was rogue. It went. Dropped down in there and it touched. It touched a log. I'm not gonna lie.
Kevin
Well, maybe.
Kimberly
Maybe after this discussion, my husband. Maybe after this discussion, my husband will get me and.
Brett
Yeah.
Kimberly
Me some. Give me an update.
Brett
I don't think you're pro. You're probably not like, too far gone because you're so confident stuff. You kept it together. But yeah. So she's an 8, so 8. 54. Natural. As usual. There's a lot of. Like, when the bra comes off, you hear an exhale.
John Holmberg
From the bra?
Brett
Yeah, from the bra. Yeah. Lane Bryant is like, oh, thank God. You guys have no idea how hard my job was today. All right, hold on a second. Nice job. You're going to the. You're going to the thing now. Hang on. I don't know. Do you get tickets first? Do we give him at least tickets?
John Holmberg
I don't even know you got the tickets.
Brett
Well, we'll figure something out.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you got something.
Brett
You're qualified beautifully for the whole damn thing. So you're good. Thank you to both Kimberly and the racist. It's gonna be a hell of a show. Sorry of all this. Thank you. Q Prime. Got hot releases coming up next. It's 98. It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee. I've heard enough of this.
Holmberg's Morning Sickness - Arizona
Episode: 07-08-25 - Playing The Post It Game w/Volbeat Songs To Qualify For The GOAT Promotion
Release Date: July 8, 2025
In this vibrant episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness on Arizona's top-rated morning radio show, host John Holmberg and his co-hosts Brady Bogan, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo engage listeners in an interactive promotion centered around the Danish rock band Volbeat. The focus of the episode is the introduction and execution of the "Post It Game," a competition designed to reward dedicated Volbeat fans with exclusive concert experiences.
John Holmberg kicks off the segment by announcing an enticing giveaway:
John Holmberg [09:08]: "We're going to give away this thing for Volbeat coming up July 26th, and you want to go see Volbeat. Yeah, of course you want to see Volbeat. It's a great band to go see."
He elaborates on the grand prize, detailing a comprehensive VIP package worth approximately $800, which includes premium tickets, meet-and-greet opportunities, exclusive merchandise, and behind-the-scenes access at the Talking Stick Amphitheater.
Bret Vesely provides a thorough explanation of the "Post It Game," outlining the steps listeners must take to participate:
Bret Vesely [02:10]: "Qualifiers that want to go to this need to prove they love that Volbeat. So we're going to do a little Volbeat post it game. You get a Volbeat song that's got a little intro on it and you have to prove you're the biggest Volbeat fan."
Participants are required to post a message featuring a Volbeat song intro, demonstrating their fandom to qualify for the prize. A "secret key" element is mentioned, adding an element of intrigue to the competition.
The hosts engage in lively and humorous banter, adding an entertaining dynamic to the promotion. They discuss previous collaborations with Q Prime and praise Larry McFeely for organizing such events:
Bret Vesely [05:00]: "It’s going to be hot as hell, but it’s going to be worth it."
Bret Vesely [05:42]: "These guys at Q Prime have just been awesome to us. And Larry McFeely, king of KUPD. Awesome job putting this together too because these are the types of things that radio used to do back when they used to pay for stuff."
The segment features interactions with several callers attempting the Post It Game, each bringing their unique flair and enthusiasm, albeit with varying degrees of success.
