John Holberg
You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it.
Big Dick Toledo
What the hell is wrong with you?
John Holberg
Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Tuesday. It is 5:45 this the morning sickness. My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett. There's big Dick Toledo from his big birthday weekend celebration, staring at dicks on his phone for most of his birthday, which I still loved every second of being part of. He said that there was an Asian family breathing over his shoulder when the daisy chain showed up, which I think is my favorite picture of all outside of Grady. Fired one over of the morning show host from Katie KB and then you put in the afternoon. Yes. So.
Brady
Well, you wanted to make it super gay.
John Holberg
You wanted to be as gay as possible.
Brady
The family behind him were just shocked that it wasn't pixelated.
John Holberg
If you can't send over embarrassing weird photos onto somebody's phone making them uncomfortable with their sexuality and not include Katie KB well I don't know what you're doing.
Brady
What is your algorithm on your phone?
John Holberg
Like it's been strange. I'm not going to lie.
Brett
Like did you send one to Lovetz?
John Holberg
I sent a couple to Lovet. I claim they were me. He doesn't like that cuz he's not sure. I send giant wiener pictures to love. It's for his birthday. But yeah, the best thing about it.
Unknown
Is at least it's not on my algorithm. All they showed up or as pictures.
John Holberg
I just did screenshots. Yeah, but my algorithm searched out hardcore gay sex money shot and I. And then so my. For the next few times that I would start typing something or my pornhub changed. I'll tell you that. You go to pornhub and there was a couple of what are those dudes doing here? So. But it was all worth it because Toledo had to watch those balloons float. He hates those balloons.
Brady
Like I said, I didn't even realize it did that. I forgot about it when the balloons. Balloons went.
John Holberg
It's not suspect. What are you, Jesse Waters? He says that men don't wish each other happy birthday. Jesse Waters says that. And I'm like, toledo, Toledo is the opposite of Jesse. You and Jesse Waters are on the same page when it comes to that. I find that to be a hysterical overreach. But you hating the balloons enough to tell Brett your birthday wish wasn't sufficient because it was gay. It turned into this. And it will never ever be different now. My birthday is Friday. Here we go. I encourage the balloons boys, but if you guys want to go down that road and sending me pictures, balloons and cranks, it's gonna be on your dorks and penetration.
Unknown
Japanese family on the beach behind me. And I think the. The young boy saw it. I don't know if he noticed it wasn't pixelated.
John Holberg
He probably passed out. Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah, probably.
John Holberg
Japanese boy sees all those dicks. He's like, watch that.
Unknown
There was a group of like 14 teenage girls off to the left of us, and there are four moms sitting there. And I kept thinking about Brady because one of the moms, they were down, you know, playing in the water. One of the moms kept sh. And whistling because she wasn't getting her attention.
John Holberg
Get your ass covered. Cover your ass. There's a girl in the gastonks.
Unknown
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So she's like, pull it out.
John Holberg
Yeah.
Unknown
And then I just kept thinking Brady with Kirby and what's her name at the Caitlyn.
John Holberg
Hey, Caitlyn, cover up that ass. Could you imagine? Brady was the. My daughters are whoring around. Enough. Enough with the asses.
Brett
Girls.
John Holberg
Kirby, cover that ass. Katelyn, how's your day going? Well, he's the one who drug her across state lines. I'm not the weirdo don't make me the weirdo. I didn't take some neighbor kid over to the beach for a while. Covered ass gets over here and sits down. Put that ass in the sand.
Unknown
That's what I'm talking.
John Holberg
Plant it. Plant that ass. Yeah, it is weird. My dad wouldn't make it. With what girls do. I. When dolphin shorts were a thing. Oh. Oh. The whole world collapsed at my house. I remember dolphin shorts. They were like. Oh yeah, they're a small girl's asses. Just hang out.
Unknown
And they had the little kind of slit on the side.
John Holberg
Yeah, the side went up a little bit. So it was up to the hip. And then the bottom of the shorts. This was in the mid-80s. The bottom of the shorts was. Your ass was designed to. And shorts too. Your ass was designed to come out of the bottom a little bit. And my dad. I remember my sister putting a pair of those on and leaving. See ya. Where the hell you're going.
Unknown
The mall, dad.
John Holberg
Jeez. Was so typical. You are not.
Unknown
That's it.
John Holberg
Yeah, Those are good ones. Those were. Those weren't new current. Yeah, those were the ones that Brett's showing right now. Are those. Might as well be on nuns.
Brady
Those are nice.
John Holberg
They look great on the models. But most people can't wear those.
Brady
Now here's the. The old school.
John Holberg
But the old school ones would ride up. Your ass was designed to come out of the box. Oh man. And she had those red, white striped ones. And oh, I thought the world was going to come to an end. I thought my dad was. I thought that was. He was going to murder her. And that just started the dominoes to fall where she started bringing weirdos back to the house and stuff like that.
Unknown
I'll show you.
John Holberg
That's it. Yeah. And he's like, you're going to walk around with your ass out like that. You better change your last name because you don't live here anymore. He hated the idea. It's disgusting. Her ass is hanging out and all her friends. Wait a minute. That one girl's ass hanging out is not so bad. The vacuum salesman. Yeah, the vacuum salesman. If the vacuum salesman walked in in a thong, my dad would have been fine with it.
Unknown
Stephanie Moore ever wear them at your house?
John Holberg
They were in a pervert. They were in like 8th or 9th grade back then. She was about to be. She was about to be a supermodel. She had a 42 year old boyfriend. Stephanie Seymour, 8th grade. Yeah. That's the guy that flew her off to Paris. Yeah. In my kitchen. Is his name Epstein? Two times Stephanie Seymour. Two times. She was in my kitchen. Called me cute.
Brett
Oh, you wore the same outfit?
John Holberg
I did twice. So. Wolf howling at the. I told you that when Stephanie Seymour was there. And I had my wolf howling at the moon. My maroon op shorts and socks up to my knees. And she goes, your brother's so cute. Who's that? I remember where she was sitting.
Brady
Were you Brad in the bathroom after that?
John Holberg
I wasn't doing that yet. I was only 8 or 9. 8. I wasn't quite tugging me Seymour though.
Brady
I mean.
John Holberg
You know what? I think my. My little. I think my little bald wiener was kind of like pull me. I take it. What is that noise coming out of that. That kid's midsection? Pull me. Now she. And two times. I'll never forget that. She was just. And I didn't. You know. You didn't. It wasn't Stephanie Seymour yet. And still I think I had the same reaction.
Unknown
Potential.
John Holberg
Oh, the potential. It was a known factor. She was going. It was already known in this. In the city of Poway. And I just found this out a little while ago. That that was her for sure. That was for sure. And I'm like we knew like that she was. I didn't know that that was her. I remember that girl.
Unknown
So your sister and her went to the same school?
John Holberg
Yep. Twin Peaks High School. Right next to Sierra Bonita Elementary School which is where I went to school. And at Sierra Bonita we would all walk together. I did not know that was her until much later in life. And then I'm like, that was her. Like it. Now it's like, oh my God. And she thought it was adorable. I just remember the hottest girl I've ever seen in my life. And I was kind of still like I'm interested but nobody needs to know this age. And then. And boy. Every time it's the mom, can my friends come over? Is the one. Cuz that one Stephanie girl gonna be here. Yeah. Be right back. And I go in the hamper and dig out that outfit. It didn't matter if it was clean or not. Hey. Just fooling around in the wolf's howling at the moon shirt. Just chick stick the wolf howling at the moon. I look like an Irish tourist that whose clothes got lost on the boat over. Got these at the U Totem. Got some clothes over at the U Totem. God, she was amazing. So yeah. But I'm pretty sure my dad was all right with that too. Like Stephanie Seymour But 42 year old guy was manager no. Out now. Out loud. Boyfriend. She was 14 and swept her off her feet. Took her off to Paris. Hey, it worked, dude. Got her like she was a Parisian model. Within a year, she met Axl Rose, and then she married Axl Rose. And that was when I found out that. That my sister was friends with her. I just didn't realize that Stephanie Seymour. I'll tell you what. Right there in my kitchen. My dad would have toted her across state lines, that's for sure.
Unknown
Hey, Danny, you're allowed to have one.
John Holberg
Friend on the trip.
Unknown
I'll take Tiffany.
John Holberg
No. Huh? Just pick again. Leticia. Leticia. No.
Unknown
Okay, I try again.
John Holberg
Sarah. No. Close. Stephanie. Yeah, she can go. Let's do this. Let's get her in the car and let's drive her somewhere good. Where there's beaches. And he did over right over there to the beach. I'm sure they. My dad was driving them all over, and I didn't realize it.
Unknown
I'll take you. I'll take you.
John Holberg
My dad was always really nice to my sister's friends when the hot ones were over.
Unknown
You girls want some beer? Oh, my God, your dad's so cool.
John Holberg
You've not met my father. That is not him. An alien took over that body. And he's suddenly. He's outside swimming.
Brady
They start benching right there, too.
John Holberg
Oh, he work. Worked out. When they were there, he would go in his room and grab the weights underneath and puff up a little bit. He would do that every time. Like, he'd walk around like, a. And one time, I remember. Oh, this is a great one. One time, I remember he had these blue shorts. They were way too tight. We hated swimming with him as a family in these shorts. I was like, come on. I could see every line and vain and I don't know what's going on. These shorts, they were light blue. And I remember one. I didn't know what was going on. My dad never initiated swimming. He never was, like, going out to the pool. Bye. Like he'd never occasionally announced it. Yeah. The family is out there, and he might wander out and hop in. But he was never out there by himself. One day, he comes out, he's got the towel over his shoulder, moving through the house in his little ugly blue shorts like, oh, dad, the shorts. What? Like, they're too tight. Oh, are you going swimming? Yep.
Brett
Really?
John Holberg
Okay. Not ten minutes later, my sister rolls with, like, nine of her friends, and they're all in their bikinis and stuff, and they just run right to the back.
Unknown
Oh, I was Using the pool.
John Holberg
I think he had half a plumpy. Like he was trying to show it off.
Unknown
Sorry, girls.
John Holberg
Let me get it. My dad was in. He was a big dude, so he's like all the girls, like, oh, my.
Unknown
God, your dad's huge.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holberg
I'll get out of your way, ladies. Excuse me, weirdo. And then I'd come out with my stuff on. I want to go swimming with dad, too. Get out of here, you idiot. You sea blocking moron.
Unknown
On.
John Holberg
It's a different time. The 80s.
Brett
What are you doing?
Brady
You don't like them anyway.
John Holberg
Yeah, you're not into them. You're probably here to look at me. Creepy little gay. Not gay. Yeah, right. Yet. Hol's morning sickness. Holg's morning sickness. It's. I had the happiest day ever yesterday for one reason, one reason only. World Star. The video that is circulating of the girls after the WNBA game trying to get into a club, shouting out, we in the W. We just got done with the All Star game. The guy funko, I don't care. Let's go. Get out. And then she's like, we shouldn't even been waiting in this line. He goes, get in the back of line. You're done. And it is. It's tragic how they try to use the W. We in the W. And the guy's like, I don't even know what that is. And he makes him get back in line. And then he. And then. And then somebody says, let him in. Whatever. Let him in. And then they start going in. Another guy goes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because they're all hideous. They're all just awful.
Brady
So it wasn't Sophie Cunningham trying to get.
John Holberg
No, Sophie was already in there. I'm sure Sophie doesn't have to scream, I'm in the W. This is here. Here it is right here. Oh, hold on. Let's sound off.
Big Dick Toledo
Yo, what other one? Hey, boss man, y' all got a.
John Holberg
Section, yo, it's down here. That is.
Big Dick Toledo
No, but we. Anyway, so what sex is at.
John Holberg
Cops. The cops are like, get in the back of the line.
Big Dick Toledo
But we in the W. And so we done at the allstar game.
John Holberg
So, like, we just got done with the allstar game. We in the W. And then guys, like, he just does the finger spin. Get, get, get, get, get. Get away from the front of the line. One of them looks really good. The rest of them are hideous.
Brady
Is that this one?
John Holberg
What do you got? Yep, that's it. Yeah, that's the one. And she starts Going. And we in the. We in the W. And. And the guy's like, move it, let's go. And they let her in. Either we go somewhere else. He's like, I don't care.
Brady
Title nine's down the road.
John Holberg
Yeah. He's like, I don't care where you go.
Big Dick Toledo
Well, we in a W. Got done at the All Star game, so, like.
John Holberg
Sorry, we don't need.
Big Dick Toledo
I ain't even trying to be funny. But we should not be waiting in no line.
John Holberg
They shouldn't be in line. That's why nobody, like, likes your league.
Brady
Well, they're not used to lines. Nobody ever waits in line getting into wnba.
John Holberg
They have no idea what lines are. There's never been a line at the WNBA game.
Unknown
I know, I need to count.
John Holberg
I need to go.
Big Dick Toledo
I don't.
John Holberg
Then they start going in and the guy's like. He sees a couple of them and he's like, never mind. And he spins them right out. Oh, they keep cussing. I hate that part. Yeah, he spins them right out. They start going in, back out. They start going in. And then he sees what he's letting into this club and he's like, oh, no, no, no, no, They're. And then the best part is that the ugliest mean leader, the little pink haired ugly leader, he lets a couple of them in. Like, that one's not bad.
Brady
The one in the black.
John Holberg
The one in the black, she's okay. The rest of them are hideous and they're not even dressed nice. And that one kind of goes forward and the dude lets her in. And then the pink haired ugly one goes. This my whole crew, they all with me. And that's when he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody out, everybody out. And he turns them back around. It is hilarious. We in the W is. We shouldn't be waiting in no line. What are you talking about? The W is no golden ticket into anything.
Brett
Finished up our game.
John Holberg
We just got done at the All Star Game. For what? What are you talking about? The W. Okay, that's hilarious, lady. I don't know if there's a high school tournament in town. I don't. I don't think you're allowed it. I watched that video. That would be like 801 times now that I've seen it with you. I cannot get enough. We shouldn't be waiting of that arrogant nonsense lead, pretending it deserves stuff. Not. Not ever asking to earn a thing. Not everyone stepping up, saying we have to earn our way through ever. Not being cordial, not being nice. We got that email from that guy a long time ago, he's at the chain Smokers concert. And his girlfriend turned around and told the other people that he got tickets through his mom who works with, you know, the arena. They gave him a suite. And then he said, ended into busting into that suite with these little dudes with hoods on that were mean. Started screaming and, like. And his girlfriend turned around and said, guys, you're at the Chain Smokers. You want to calm down a little? And he said, and the leader of them, the meanest one, came over and started to want to fight. And he's like, I gotta beat this dude up. This guy is literally bowing up to my girlfriend. And he goes. And I realized right there it was Diana Taurasi.
Brady
That's an honest mistake.
John Holberg
And then he. His mother wrote a letter saying, you know, the suite that we had was infiltrated by these awful WNBA people. And the WNBA wrote him a letter apologizing and offered them season tickets as an apology. That is the worst thing you could have offered me. Like, the last thing I want.
Brady
Now I'm suing.
John Holberg
Yeah, now, now, now. I'm calling lawyers.
Brady
Now it's on.
John Holberg
Now I've been disrespected. This is not how our players behave. Yes, it is. We in the W. Is. Nobody's ever said that you can end up in a Russian jail. You start screaming, I don't care. What? What are you in the W? The W. What are you talking. Do you work for a. For a radio station east of the Mississippi? What's the W? We in the derby, Brady. I'm gonna start saying that. Every time there's a line, I'm like, we gotta get it. We in the W. And the W. Essentially, she said, we're in the woman, which probably later that night.
Brady
Well, I think that's probably true.
John Holberg
Hilarious. I can't get enough of it. I love how often that league, ironically, just itself right in the butt, it just can't stop banging itself into oblivion.
Brett
I saw some of the game highlights.
John Holberg
There weren't any. Brady, you saw some of the game clips. Did you see the myriad of missed layups with no defense? They chose not to play defense.
Brett
My opinion. Those are highlights.
John Holberg
Well. Oh, for us. For our entertainment's sake. Yes. The comedy highlights were definitely there. W highlights. We in the W. All I'm gonna say from now on, you're gonna have to get in the back of line, Sir. It's a 30 minute wait for a table. What? What? What's wrong with you? I'm in the W. That's a big lesbian. Yeah. The highlights are hilarious. And just they decided to put a four point shot on the court, which is about five feet behind the actual three point line. Not. None of these bitches can even come close. Like they're just heaving it as missing by forever airballs in the All Star game. It doesn't happen. But like banging into missed layup after. It's hilarious. It is a. It's like a Benny. If you sped it up and just put yakety sacks behind it, it would be. It would be the Benny Hill opening. Oh, but Brady, we ain't waiting in no line. We in the W. We in the W. That's the fastest way to not get through a line. Oh, God. We don't all the regular ladies to hear that. Get the out of here.
Brady
That's my favorite part. He turns them all around when he sees who they're with.
John Holberg
When he's. When the last one goes, they all with me. He's like, oh, Jesus, them too. All right, everybody turn around. I'm sorry, I got. I thought you. You like these two half decent ones or at least with someone else. I was gonna let them through.
Brett
We should have to wait in line.
John Holberg
Yeah, we shouldn't have to wait in line. And then she says, well, you know what? Forget it. We go somewhere else. The guy's like, okay. You just hear of. You hear an audible. Okay. He didn't want. And they were like tattered T shirts.
Brady
Yeah, there was only one that was.
John Holberg
One looked like she like.
Brady
Like she could get in a club.
John Holberg
Like that girl called, we going to the club tonight. All right, go. Okay, I'll get ready. And then she did. And the rest of them showed up up dressed like Brett and me, except for we have the decency not to chop off the sleeves of our shirts like some sort of weirdo. And I. I want to know where they ended up.
Brady
Scary is, is we. We look sexier in what we're wearing than they did what they're wearing.
John Holberg
I mean, I would so bang you before any of them. First off, you could bang me. I'd be a bottom with you. Because all of their dicks are much bigger. They. And they. The worst part is they had every intention of wandering through there with arrogance and swag. Like people were going to be like, the girls from the W are here. No one at that club was interested because none of them went to the all star game. They were all busy getting ready and looking nice for that night out on the club in Indianapolis. And Nobody knew who they would have been.
Brett
Some NBA players happened to be in town. Just walk right through, right by the VIP area.
John Holberg
Well, I have it on good authority, and I'm not saying who told me this, that if an NBA player sees WNBA players, they have to join them, I'd quit. It is a thing. Like, they have to acknowledge them. So if, for instance, Steph Curry is walking through the Rah Rah room and a couple of the Mercury players are there and he sees them, he has to go over and be.
Brett
Whether or not he knows, though, too.
John Holberg
Well, there's a bigger thing. He's like, but you're supposed to. You're supposed to hobnob together as often as possible, as if just talk and shop. Or you're in the same wheel. We. Yeah, the W and the N are the same. I don't think you can call it the N. Are you sure? I'm almost positive that the guys don't run around going, I'm in the end. I'm in the end. Well, Jesus Christ, man. Don't do that. This is my crew. I'm an N. Let him in. He's gonna start calling.
Brady
Yeah, the white guy at the front door.
John Holberg
Let him in. Let him in. We in the W and. Hilarious. Can I get enough of it? And then yesterday's tragic news again, a fanduel bet I would have lost Bill Cosby. You would have sucked all the money out of me. Well, pardon the pun back. If you'd have guessed back in the 80s, will Bill Cosby be in jail for rape? I'd say no. And then he'd say, all right, what's the under. Over on how many people he raped? I'm like, at most, he would be accused once. That's Bill Cosby. Damn it. I'd have lost that bet. If you asked me, in the year 2000, 2005, will Bill Cosby outlive Malcolm Jamal Warner well into the 2000s? Like, you're out of your mind. That guy's deteriorating in front of our eyes in jail. He's a free man. And he got all the calls yesterday about the death of Theo. Like, I would have never imagined. Like, never imagined. Theo didn't make it. That's crazy. And it was a. It's one of those punches, you know, that. That Theo and I are essentially the same age. He's a couple years older than me, but it's a weird thing to have had seen that guy, you know, my age on TV being Cliff Huxtable's son on the Most popular show in the world and he just dies. And it's. I think it's weirder when celebrities drown. Like when Matthew Perry drowns. Drown. I don't. Some reason. You don't put that on people of a certain age. That drowning is kind of off the table unless they're doing something ridiculous. Matthew Perry in a hot tub. You know, backyard pools, stuff like that. Like, I guess, the ocean. But is there any. Are there any details on how. I didn't see any. I just. He just drowned on a family vacation. But that is so strange that. Yeah. Theo's not there anymore and keeping his.
Brett
Wife and daughter really private.
John Holberg
Like.
Brett
No, he.
Brady
I didn't even know he's married, actually.
John Holberg
Yeah.
Brett
And that's why he said didn't make them want anyone to have anything to do with just one of the private.
John Holberg
Yeah. I didn't know. Well, I mean, it's not like we were following Theo around. No, but it's not.
Brady
He was cockroach or something, right?
John Holberg
Yeah, that's different. It was not like Jeff from dj.
Brett
That's kind of hard to do being, you know, a celebrity if you just.
John Holberg
I guess it's a celebrity at a certain time. We didn't. We haven't cared about, pardon the pun, Malcolm Jamal Warner since probably like 96.
Brady
Was that one show he was in.
John Holberg
He's in a. It was in the one on. Oh, I forget what it was. Yeah, yeah. It was a WB show or CW show. Yeah, he was Malcolm and something, but it wasn't aimed at us. You and I were not Cowlings. Huh?
Brett
He was AJ Cowlings and the OJ Versus.
John Holberg
Yeah, that's right. I forgot about that. But again, that was more just kind of working the suit. AJ Did a lot of the heavy lifting in that one. And just. AC Not AJ ac. Yeah. Morning sickness. Holmberg's morning sickness. AC did all the, you know, know, all you had to do is just say amaz, damn it. And that's it. Because Al, he was. I could have done that job. I don't think I was particularly a good casting, but I could have been Al.
Brady
Quite a bit of things afterwards.
John Holberg
He did a lot one offs, but just. Yeah, yeah, he was always Theo Community. One offs. He was never on the show.
Brett
Appearances.
John Holberg
Yeah, he just popped in in. Very likable. Always and stuff like that. Always cool. Was it Malcolm and Eddie? Is that the name of that show?
Brady
I think that's right.
Brett
Directed episodes of the Cosby show, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Sesame Street.
John Holberg
Yeah, he was around. I'm not saying he didn't have a job. It's just we stopped caring about Theo as like, oh, Malcolm, Jamal Warner's in it. I'll go. He was not a draw by any means. So it was kind of just a child star that, you know, dicked around the. The industry for a long time, but never was, you know, the superstar. So it's, it's, you know, people are always saying, oh, what? We weren't paying attention to what happened to him. We weren't. Nobody cared. And that's what happens to you when you're a celebrity and celebrities don't realize it. You hit your peak and then you can do a whole bunch of stuff. And if it's not like, astronomically huge, the next time we hear from you, you as a. Is when you die. That's it. Like, you'll have, like, we're sitting here now. Oh, he would. He directed this. Nobody cared about that. He directed an episode of Scrubs. Oh, good. But then the next time he gets mass press will be when he dies. And that's exactly what happened. So people are surprised. He had privacy. Of course we gave it to him. We didn't care.
Brett
And how many times I said celebrity death, Say the name and nothing. They show the picture. Oh, I know that.
John Holberg
I see. That guy is weird. Weird. That one. That was a weird one to me because that's like. I don't know. I. I struggle with adult drowning because I've. I swim all the time and it's never in my head I'm in that pool. Never in my head of recent.
Brett
Like the lady that went to try to rescue their daughter in the water and she got the daughter and she drowned.
John Holberg
Was it in a lake or a river or something?
Brett
It was. That one was in an ocean.
John Holberg
Yeah, that makes sense to me. When there's already peril, somebody's in trouble. Yeah, that.
Brett
That's when we had some river rescues, but just.
John Holberg
Yeah, those are rescues.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holberg
Like, just swimming around, having fun, and the next thing you know, ain't making it like, there's. There was no peril. He was the peril. I just. I just. I struggle with, you know, I can see diving into a river where somebody's trying to. You know, there's. Most of the time that is who drowns is the person trying to rescue. You go through those classes and water classes, and they're like, hey, the person who's you're going to go try to save is going to. Is going to push you under a lot more. So, yeah. So I. I don't know. I struggle with adult drowning because we take the pools in Phoenix especially, so kind of. Nah. We take it for granted. We're in it. We hang around. We do our thing. I would have to hit my head so hard in the pool alone, and I just can't imagine it happening. The worst thing that happens in my pool is sometimes those little calcium balls rip my feet apart, and I don't even realize it until I get out. I gotta get that thing scrubbed down. It's been a few years since I've had the pool drained and scrapped. So I got a couple of those little rough patches, and they hurt, and you don't even know it. That's like the. That's sliced, right? Yeah. That's the pool problems. I. I don't think of drowning ever. And maybe I should, but I don't. I'm at the age where I'm like, I. I wouldn't die from drowning. I would die from hitting my head first, and then the second thing that would happen is drowning. I can't just drown. I'm pretty sure of that. I don't put myself in positions to just drown.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holberg
I don't get in rushing water. The ocean. And I'm good in the ocean up here. About the hips.
Brett
The nightmares of people getting caught in, like, under toes.
John Holberg
Sure. Because they're out. They're out in a quarter mile.
Brett
Out.
John Holberg
That's. You're out in the thick thing. I'm not doing that. I get in the ocean, I go until there's. I'm not swimming in it. I stand in it and my feet don't touch. I start moving back towards the other side.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holberg
I don't do that. I walk the other way. That's dumb. Doing great, Brett.
Brady
I. I'm getting.
John Holberg
I know. You are.
Brady
Eating the most poor in a row. Turn my mic back on.
John Holberg
Just saying it is a. Yeah. I just find it. I just don't. I just don't. Matthew Perry. I'm like, oh, he's on drugs. He didn't drown. People say he drowned. He died of a drug problem. Yeah. The water was just there. Babies. That makes sense if you got kids. I wouldn't have a pool if I had kids. That would scare me to death.
Brady
We were talking about this the other day. The crazy part is, like, growing. Like, when we were growing up, it didn't seem like you heard about as many drown. Like, none of our friends had pool fences. Like, none of them did.
John Holberg
No.
Brady
And you never really heard. I mean, I know they Were there. Don't get me wrong, but you never really heard about the drownings like you do nowadays.
John Holberg
No, it's weird. I don't know if that's because the news gets mad about it louder, but if it happened, it. You're right. Growing up here when it did happen. Oh, my God, that's so rare.
Brady
Now it's like every other day on the news. It's like, oh, that sucks.
John Holberg
Yeah. And maybe it's because it's our generation and, you know, and now even one but beneath us that has kids, they're so used to having a poor pool. They're like me and they don't think about it.
Brady
Yeah, I mean, I. I know one of my friends had a pool fence. Everybody else, nobody had a pool.
John Holberg
The only pool fence that it was the worst pool in the neighborhood.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holberg
Had a pool fence around it. First thing I did when I moved into my house, when I got it, when I, back in 2000, had an ugly ass blue pool fence, I pulled it down, I put a fence. I put one of those nice ones around my current pool. Because the bus, my dog, bus is a bulldog. And all I read was, was careful with these guys. And I remember Ralphie May's bulldog came to my house and sank like a stone. And that's when Ralphie turned to me.
Unknown
Daddy gotta do me a favor.
John Holberg
Like what?
Unknown
My dog's at the bottom of your pool.
John Holberg
Like what? And sure enough, there's a dog standing, looking up in the shallow end. He didn't know what. He couldn't walk. He didn't know what he was doing. Doesn't even try, but you can't get him.
Unknown
You think, I'm gonna get that dog? You gotta get in to get my dog.
John Holberg
And sure enough, you try to lift a 90 pound bulldog out of four and a half, five feet of water. And he's not. Ralphie's dog was cool, but he was not the nicest dog in the world. So he's trying to bite me when he got up to the top step because I'm just, I'm, you know, I'm scooping him up like a forklift. Like, Jesus Christ, that thing's heavy.
Unknown
Thank you, Johnny. He can't swim.
John Holberg
I'm like, well, thanks for bringing him to the pool party, jackass. Good idea.
Brett
How do I hooch?
John Holberg
But he did it too.
Unknown
Pimp's down at the bottom of the pool.
John Holberg
All right, get in. He had no reaction. Ralphie was like, well, my dog's gonna die. If I wasn't outside with him, he'd have just watched that dog bubble. He had no chance. And he was right, Ralphie. Not getting in there and getting underwater.
Unknown
Try to do me a favor.
John Holberg
It was so calm.
Unknown
My dog's down there at the bottom of your pool. You want to pick him out?
John Holberg
I would love to. Is he okay?
Unknown
It's been a second.
John Holberg
All right. He was fine. He got out, shot crap out of the middle of his little. Started that bulldog. But I put a fence around my pool because of my dog. I freaked out when I read all that. Bus has a. He's got a life jacket. He wears that thing, swims like an eel. He doesn't need any of it. But just in case, because the Internet told me they. They sink sometimes or they panic, and then they get straight up and down. Their noses can't handle it. I baby them. But if I had kids, oh, my God, I'd have, like, that wall that they're building in Mexico would be around that pole. I couldn't do it. I don't think my dad cared. He never. We built a pool. It's like, do you want a fence? He's like, for what?
Unknown
The idiot's going to drown.
Brady
Survival.
John Holberg
My dad, I think. I think we grew up as the generation. If you drown, you're dumb.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holberg
No. Well, it's not nice, and it's not right, but, yeah. I think our parents basically said, what do you mean? Drown you. When idiots drown, I'm like, oh, yeah.
Brett
There was never a fear.
John Holberg
No.
Brett
Weird.
John Holberg
Anyway. Not weird, but, yeah, no, it's weird. It's definitely weird to just be, like, so cavalier about it.
Brett
And then we'd go to lakes, rivers, just. I mean, we were allowed to go.
John Holberg
To the river at age 16 with a piece of plywood and a rope and tie it to the trees and surf against the current.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holberg
And park our jeeps on the side of the thing. And then we'd go on a countless amount of times. I'd fall off, splash. And then you just hold your breath until the river spit you out. Because you're under it. You're not. You learn real early. Don't panic because this thing's. And you. And your head would bob up and everybody laugh like, he was probably gonna drown, but that thing would. There's a current under that lazy salt river. And then we found out our friend Aswan, from high school. Do you remember Aswan? No, you probably did not. You were. He drowned at the river. And all of us kind of were like, what. What happened? You see?
Brett
You know Jumping in movies where they show the foot getting wedged in a rock or something.
John Holberg
Sure.
Brett
Always think about that.
John Holberg
But that. That's. You're not drowning. You're. You're stuck. Like drowning to me. You're just swimming along and then you stop. Like something happens. Like usually it has. Something else has to happen. I feel terrible. It's awful. It's an awful thing. But, yeah, see, I was more worried.
Brett
About looking across the surface of the lake water that a great white shark was coming after watching Jaws a couple times.
John Holberg
In the lake.
Brett
Yeah. Yeah. And it's a lake.
John Holberg
Well, you saying stuff like that makes me. You're susceptible to drowning because that's what a dumb kid would have done. It's a lake, for God's sake.
Brady
I know. Jaws 3D. They got into Sea World.
John Holberg
If you're still worried. If Jaws 3D is still like, man, that thing's got me. I'm still getting chills. They did get into Sea World. They broke in.
Brady
Terrible movie.
John Holberg
Oh, well. Was it Jaws Forward?
Brett
We would always do that.
John Holberg
You.
Brett
You reflect. You look back. You just. Your head's right above the water.
John Holberg
You look at the surface of the water for sharks.
Brett
Like the movie.
John Holberg
No, you guys were on drugs. But the had the same feel. Was it Jaws 4, where it was Son of Jaws that swam down to Florida? I think it was Son of Jaws. Yeah.
Brady
And it wasn't the original wife in that one, too.
John Holberg
That might have been Jaws, too. The original wife took the kids to Florida to get away from the COVID Well, to.
Brady
Roy Scheider was still in.
John Holberg
Okay, so then it was four.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holberg
When the. When the shark wasn't. It wasn't up there in the northeast anymore. And he found it. Them. It's. And it's Son of Jaws Lewis gossip.
Brady
No, that was three.
John Holberg
That was three. Dennis Quaid and Louis. So terrible. Brett and I were children of the 80s. We watched the Jaws movies, especially because.
Brady
It was in 3D. I went to the movie theater to see it.
John Holberg
I probably sat by you. We were the four people in the movie theater ones. This is awesome. It's like the shark's actually in here. What the hell is the story of this movie? It broke glass. Yeah. Anyway, be careful around water and watch your kids and all that stuff and all those little PSAs. They actually mean something. You never know. We lost Theo, for crying out. Part of my childhood. Very happy part of it. Tv. I love the tv. Losing all those people from back then, you don't want to lose the ones the same age as you.
Brady
And don't watch anything past Jaws too.
John Holberg
No. And that's like Ricky Schroeder dying. Like.
Unknown
What?
John Holberg
You can't. You can't do that. Don't be the kids of my. I understand the ones that you know have been trouble. Todd Bridges is still alive. God damn it.
Brady
Who'd have never thought.
John Holberg
No one would have thought Theo would have outlived Willis or the other way. Yeah. Willis would have outlived feel. There's no possible way you'd have thought one of those Drummond kids. All the Drummonds are dead except the worst one.
Brady
Yeah.
John Holberg
Although Dana Plato gave a run for the money there for worst one.
Brady
Anyway, Jaws, the revenge.
John Holberg
I mean, Gary Coleman gets pushed down the stairs and dies. Theo drowns. And there's Willis, like, pushing 60. He's the Keith Richards children's star. And you know what? He's just recently been cast in a movie called we in the W. And so he's going to be one of the girls from the wnba. Joanna, I think, is his name. Let's get right to it. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? 585 9, 800. Let's scream it together. It's 98 KUPD win a W. Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.

Toledo shared an amusing anecdote about an Asian family observing him as he interacted with explicit content on his phone.
