Introduction to Rock Wars

In the July 16, 2025 episode of "Holmberg's Morning Sickness" on Arizona's #1 Morning Radio Show, hosts John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo dive into the spirited segment known as Rock Wars. This weekly battle of musical supremacy challenges the hosts to select the most fitting theme songs for specific topics. Today's contentious topic revolves around class action lawsuit lawyers, sparking a lively debate on whether they deserve public support or criticism.

Brief Discussion on Nuclear Bomb Survivors

Before delving into the main topic, the hosts briefly touch upon a darker subject—the survivors of the Trinity nuclear bomb tests. Bret raises a provocative point about the ethical implications of compensating these elderly survivors:

• Bret [00:15]: "You made it to 93. Maybe you owe the government some money for prolonging your life with nukes. It just doesn't seem like you deserve money."

Brady and Bret exchange jabs about the testing sites and the unexpected longevity of the survivors, emphasizing the contentious nature of government compensation.

Debate on Class Action Lawsuit Lawyers

The conversation swiftly transitions to class action lawsuit lawyers, with Bret expressing admiration for these legal professionals despite their polarizing reputation:

• Bret [02:44]: "I wish I was one of them. I would love to be a class action lawsuit lawyer. Because you bait millions and millions of people in for their $6, and then you make millions."

Brady adds to the discussion by highlighting the aggressive nature of some lawyers:

• Brady [02:32]: "Like that guy on the poop cruise. Whatever."

John Holmberg moderates the conversation, probing the hosts' opinions on whether these lawyers are "bloodsuckers" or essential protectors against corporate malfeasance.

Rock Wars: Selecting Theme Songs

The heart of the episode centers on selecting a theme song for class action lawsuit lawyers. Each host presents their choice, arguing passionately for their selection.

• Bret [03:09]: "They call these lawyers bloodsuckers, but if we didn't have them, then we wouldn't have any protection against all this stuff."

He emphasizes the necessity of such lawyers in safeguarding public interests, despite their often negative portrayal.

Brady Bogen's Choice: "Mack the Knife" by Bobby Darin

Brady opts for the classic "Mack the Knife" by Bobby Darin, likening the cunning and sharp nature of the song to the strategic maneuvers of predatory lawyers.

• Brady [04:56]: "I went old school with Bobby Darin. Mack the Knife."

Bret vs. Brady: The Showdown

The hosts engage in a playful yet heated exchange over their choices, with Bret firmly supporting "Bloodsucker" and Brady defending his pick. Bret critiques Brady's selection humorously:

• Bret [10:17]: "Brady using some sort of AI that has adapted to be mentally challenged? It's got some DNA missing."

Audience Engagement and Voting

Listeners are actively involved through emails and phone votes to determine the winning song. The hosts encourage participation, ensuring that the decision reflects the audience's preference.

• John Holmberg [09:35]: "Emails are saying it all. Great choices all around. Except Brady."

Despite the camaraderie, Bret remains steadfast in his support for "Bloodsucker," citing numerous listener emails that favor his choice.

Conclusion: "Bloodsucker" Wins Rock Wars

After spirited debate and audience deliberation, "Bloodsucker" by A Day to Remember triumphs as the definitive theme song for class action lawsuit lawyers. The hosts celebrate the victory with enthusiasm, showcasing a snippet of the winning track.

Shorter long term collateral loans from $10 to over 100,000American dollars. No credit needed, top dollar paid with the entire process just taking several minutes. Mo money pawn.com. brett chose the topic today as we were Talking about those 90 plus year old survivors of the Trinity nuclear bomb. And again, I mean, you made it to 93. Maybe you owe the government some money for prolonging your life with nukes. It just doesn't seem like you deserve money. If you made it to the 90s.

[Brady]

And you said it was the two test sites, didn't they test in Utah?

[Brett]

Also Nevada and New Mexico.

[Brady]

Just waiting for the results on that one.

[Brett]

But still. Still don't know they're 90. Even if you were a baby that day, you're 80 something. You. The nukes helped you live longer. Why are we giving them money?

[Brady]

Hey, you're a mutant.

[Brett]

But it worked.

[Brady]

You've got four eyes.

[Brett]

Give me some of these meetings in a bad way. Give that guy some money. If he had to wander around with bubble eyes and his whole head was in eyeballs like, yeah, that might have been from our nuke. He gets some cash. But if you're 93 and you're like, I deserve payment. You don't know what I've been through. Yeah, the prolonging of your life. What are you, Green Mile? This is great for you. So Brett came up with an idea with all the Camp Lejeune stuff. Brady did some research on the Roblox thing, which. Which they were getting you for. You know, having a game that's addictive and like, you know, forcing you to do things you didn't want to do, pay for upgrades and things like that. That makes sense. I didn't see any of the rape stuff, but whatever. That's your. That's the parents fault. If your kid's going to the mall and meeting up with an abductor, that's your parents fault 100% of the time. I don't care what anybody says. He. He got tied up with some man who met him at the mall. You drove. Who drove him to the mall? Me. Well, and you did it. But these lawyers that get in on these things. I am. I wish I was One of them. I would love to be a class action lawsuit lawyer. Because you bait, like, millions and millions of people in for their $6, and then you make millions.

[Brady]

Like that guy on the poop cruise. Whatever.

[Brett]

I didn't see him.

[Holmberg]

The maritime lawyer?

[Brett]

Yeah.

[Brady]

He was just like, you know, I noticed this. I noticed it was princess cruisers or whoever.

[Brett]

And I knew knocked him down.

[Brady]

He did research. He went after the cruise.

[Brett]

We need people like that. I love them. Don't. But they are. You know what? Some people look at it in a bad way. I think it's awesome. Brett wants a rock theme song for these. These litigious predator lawyers, which I think are awesome.

[Holmberg]

Do you know how many hellcats you can get? That should be their next commercial for the poop cruise.

[Brett]

Lawyers. We're selling hellcats everywhere. I want one. Who would you like to go first?

[Holmberg]

Go ahead, Johnny.

[Brett]

You want me to go first? Some people think this is a bad word, but when it comes to. When it comes to this kind of stuff, I think it's a great word. They call these lawyers bloodsuckers, but if we didn't have them, then we wouldn't have any protection against all this stuff. And sure, you'll get your $8, but these blood suckers change the world. Bloodsuckers by a day to remember.

[E]

Bloodsucker, you always kill my vibe. God. For bad tours. And no, it's not all right. Bloodsucker try to flip me. Try. Gon leads us someone else for the.

[Brett]

Kind of like that. Not a huge day to remember fan. This song's good. And by the way, you can make fun of lawyers and stuff like that, and then when you need one, you want a blood sucker. Yeah, absolutely. You definitely want some big clawed grizzly bear beast of a man who's like, maybe we can get millions of people involved.

[Brady]

Here comes in with the sleeveless suit.

[Brett]

I've spoken to lawyers. Yeah, yeah, I've spoken to lawyers. No, not necessarily. I want to. I want to like a guy who's going for the big stuff. I want them to be legitimate, too. I don't need them doing circus tricks. I just want him to be a go getter. The one I recently talked to. Dude's like, one more. One more misstep and we can go crazy.

[Brady]

I'm like, okay, talking to you. Also, you want the lawyer that's. That talks to you very calmly.

[Brett]

Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, because you know this dude's going to f up everybody. He's. He's Jules from Pulp fiction.

[Brady]

Yep, exactly.

[Holmberg]

My mushroom Clown.

[Brett]

Bunch of little Fonzies up in here. Cool. It's awesome. All right, blood sucker. Day to remember. You want Brady next?

[Holmberg]

Yep.

[Brett]

All right, Brady, go ahead.

[Brady]

I went the predatory route as well.

[Brett]

I didn't.

[Brady]

Because you need. I love someone to go after you. You need a. You need a shark. That's what they call lawyers. And I went old school with Bobby Darin. Mack the Knife.

[Brett]

Oh, my God.

[F]

With his teeth, baby.

[Brett]

I would like to not pay for a lawyer. I'm going to beat Brady's lawyer. This is your tough guy, blood sucker lawyer.

[Holmberg]

Give me the shirted, sleeveless guy. At this point, we're good.

[Brett]

Give me a. Dude. Give me the red panda. Give me anybody.

[Brady]

My lawyer comes in, snapping his fingers. I don't think that's the lawyer I want to.

[Brett]

My lawyer just got paid for being at the first test site of a nuclear bomb. He's 90 years old. Mack the Knife is his song.

[F]

Just losing life.

[Brett]

I can get you some money, Brady. Some Confederate cash. No, no, we're done with it. What are you talking about?

[Holmberg]

Some silver bags.

[Brett]

When I was a boy, that mattered. We'll get war bonds.

[Brady]

I got this booby. And they take their gigantic feet.

[Brett]

That dude is ancient. Walk into his office, and he's got Max. And that's my theme song. He's a real go getter. He's not retired and he's 100 years old. He's a bad lawyer. Yeah, Brett, what do you got?

[Holmberg]

All right. To me when I'm sitting there watching.

[Brett]

Because the word sharks in it, right?

[Holmberg]

There's nothing worse than watching, like, OP Live or something just kicking back. And all of a sudden, the Camp Lejeune commercials come on. And I'm just sitting there, just pissed off. And I'm just.

[Brett]

No, wait. Let me ask you. Are you pissed off because you didn't get any of that water? No, I am. I want some of that.

[Holmberg]

These guys are ruining my op live. I want twerking. So they're interrupting my time with all this. Have you drink the water at Camp Lejeune?

[Brett]

No, I don't get any.

[Holmberg]

So basically, these guys have no class.

[Brett]

Motorhead. Oh, who's up? What's the song? No class. You don't like them? No, I'm all for now. I want class action blood suckers. Brett wants them to stop running ads. Yeah.

[Holmberg]

Interrupting my shows.

[Brett]

Brady wants Danny Thomas's father.

[Brady]

My shark has dentures, but he's there.

[Brett]

Biden's theme would be Mac the Night. And it's still a little It's a little old for him. All right, there you go. You can vote [e-mail] Will it be Bloodsucker, the one I chose from A Day to Remember? Will it be no Class by Motorhead, the one Brett chose? Or will it be Mac the Knife by Bobby Darin? You're an idiot. You heard the word shark. They call them sharks. That's the song. When that shark by. That's it. Hilarious.

[Brady]

Let me see if there was a metal version of it. Yeah. Oh, no. There was. The warning has this song. What? Shark. It's pretty good.

[Brett]

Not Mac the Knife good. No, no. People wouldn't like that.

[Holmberg]

What is.

[Brett]

Nobody's gonna want that as much.

[Brady]

Brett nailed it.

[Brett]

You can vote. Text 97936 phonus 585-9800 maybe just go to the last call because Shannon's here. John Gordon's not here, so we don't have a good voter. I don't know if Shannon's. He's playing along yet or not. He's fine. We'll do it. It doesn't matter.

[Brady]

I got four on the list. If Shannon comes in, he'll be the fifth option.

[Brett]

Okay, but right now we've got. Everything's going on. It's crazy. Anyway, it's just in my head now. And you know what's funny?

[Brady]

Catchy song.

[Brett]

When I think of Brady playing Rock wars, it's weird. I think of you playing Rock wars today and you're in black and white. Like you made radio. Black and white. It was weird. Rock Wars. We'll find out who wins next.

[Shannon]

Homework's morning sickness.

[F]

Hear the words you say sometimes.

[E]

I mean, who talks like that?

[Shannon]

98 KU PD Holmberg's Morning Sickness.

[Brett]

All right. Right in the heart of Rock Wars. I'm getting a lot of emails about this. A theme song for a litigious. Go get them. You know, lawyer that's going to go after the. Or you don't like class action suits or. Yeah, like, you know, he's one way or the other. You see it one way or the other. But these lawyers are everywhere. Getting money for 90 year old. I don't understand. Brett chose no Class by Motorhead. Clearly against the.

[Holmberg]

Yeah, they just pissed me off.

[Brett]

Crazy litigious lawyer. I chose Bloodsucker by a day to remember. I'm all for them. I think they're awesome. And Brady chose Mac the Knife by Bobby Darin. Emails are saying it all. Great choices all around. Except Brady. Then there's Brady's pick. The most Random choice for Rock Wars. Ever so ridiculously stupid. I must vote for it. Alexander. Chancellor, have Brett go back and change the theme. To what R Words would pick for Rockworth? Brady. I don't understand that. Mac the Knife. Phillip says. Brady. Yeah. I want my lawyer to show up in a pinstriped suit. Jewburg, you nailed it with Bloodsuckers. Brady.

[Brady]

What the.

[Brett]

What the hell? John Wynn's most appropriate song for the war, A Day to Remember, is also the best. Dusty Balls. And this one says, is Brady using some sort of AI that has adapted to be mentally challenged? It's got some DNA missing. Using this to pick Rock war songs. My vote goes to you, Chancellor. Excellent choice. Actually made logical sense, but. Jesus Christ. Brady. Good to see Brady got back in line and back to his loser ways for this game. We don't have to worry about him picking next week. My votes for John. He should have just chosen Baby Shark. What's wrong with you? Good one, man. And you know, it's only 15 years old, but it's at least it's not Mac the Knife old. Do you know what the difference between Toledo's kid and a bloodsucker is? The bloodsucker stops sucking when you hit it. That's not fair. He's doing well. What the f. Brady. Jesus. Rolling in his tomb. If he had one. Brett, you knocked it out of the park this week with Motorhead. Lots of those. Anyway, I have the emails 11 to 4 over bread. And then Brady got that one while we were reading, so there's one there. What do you got on the text and stuff?

[Brady]

It's refreshing right now.

[Brett]

Very refreshing.

[Brady]

God damn it. Brady's got the lead on.

[Holmberg]

I saw his little paws going on his iPhone whenever we go.

[Brett]

Oh, boy. He was hammering out votes for himself.

[Brady]

That's Brett's within. Within reach, but.

[Brett]

Son of a. All right, Shannon, you may have to pick one here just in case. It doesn't matter. Just don't. Don't pick Brady. That's all. One through five. That's all you need to do. Yeah. No, no, no, no. There you go. We'll go to Shannon. I can't see that. Oh, it's email. That's me. Okay, good. Thank God. Good job, Shannon. Good job. Shannon. Treated that like it was an ice raid. Just pick a number between one through five. I can't, Brett. I'm not asking for help. Just sit down. You're fine. One through five. What if I miss it? You're good. I was born here. Yeah, doesn't matter. We get it one through four. What's happening? Let's do it. Little A Day to Remember this is Blood Sucker. This is actually a pretty cool song. So we'll get this one out there. And I am a slight bit oddly disappointed that Mac the Knife isn't about to play. Thought I had it, but so did I. Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, It's A day to remember. Go get.

[Shannon]

Arizona's most powerful rocket.

[F]

It's out of control now.
