Yeah, makes sense. What should people do?
Wayne

John Holmberg
Holmberg's morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Monday. It's 5:45 this, the morning sickness. My name is John. Hi. There's Brady, there's Brett, there's Toledo. We're off and running. Let's get this thing going. It is just hot and gross. And this is what we live in and it's how it works and yada yada.
Brady Bogan
And it was a little extra hot for me this weekend.
John Holmberg
Oh, what happened? You have fire?
Brady Bogan
No, the Friday night.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Oh, you went to ac, started. Oh, that's right. You text me about that. Your AC started to go out.
Brady Bogan
Yeah. And kudos to Precision Air, I call them that night.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
At 10:30. They had a crew over there within 30 minutes.
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
That's huge. When did you know? It's the worst feeling.
Brady Bogan
It was. It started warming up right around 5 or 6 o'.
John Holmberg
Clock.
Brady Bogan
I'm like, it's not going down. Because usually that's when we start going down. Well, it's at 78, 79. It's a little warm in the Bogan household.
John Holmberg
Swampy. But it's.
Brady Bogan
It's supposed to be at 71.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Brady Bogan
Or 72.
John Holmberg
Perfect.
Brady Bogan
And it's not going. And I'm figuring what's going on there? So they came out, needed a new compressor. I mean, the unit's six years old.
John Holmberg
Oh, here we go.
Brady Bogan
Ac.
John Holmberg
See, new AC unit dot com. And what do they do?
Brady Bogan
I'm surprising, you know, six years old, ten years, parts warranty covered.
John Holmberg
And why I'm gonna go into commercial mode here because they make sure everything is still under warranty. When they tie it together. Oh, this is a good spot.
Brady Bogan
Precision is the one who installed it originally.
John Holmberg
Okay.
Brady Bogan
So the unit was backed up. I mean, I just basically had to pay for the labor.
John Holmberg
Nice.
Brady Bogan
That was it.
John Holmberg
But at first, it was horrifying.
Brady Bogan
You know, I didn't. I. I figured it was at least five years. I could remember it was ten years. Parts, and.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that's great. We'll see. There you go. And that's a big thing.
Brady Bogan
Done in less than 24 hours.
John Holmberg
We start as an infomercial this morning because it is a huge deal that I don't. I didn't know until I started dealing with these guys that if you just go throw an air conditioning unit on with your old parts, it voids all those warranties. So when you have this kind of goof like Brady had, you're buying a new unit.
Brady Bogan
Here's the. The PSA part of it.
John Holmberg
Go on.
Brady Bogan
Is getting your AC tuned up once.
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. Always Once a year.
Brady Bogan
Because bottom line was, I had it for six years, and I. I'm thinking I'm getting done every year. Last time they were out was three years.
John Holmberg
It's like an oil change. Sometimes you just forget, I got to get on this. Yeah, man. Well, look at you. Brady's actual client Today. Brady is an actual client. Welcome aboard, Brady.
Brady Bogan
So it was one. One night of, you know, a little.
John Holmberg
Kind of uncomfortable. You go hop in the pool. You wander around. You don't dry off. We've all been there. Yeah, it's Arizona. Everybody's been there. Where your air conditioner's like, why isn't this thing cooling? Oh, no, it's better to find it that way. Although that's weird, than to, like, come home from a. I came home on a Memorial day. My mom was watching the house, came home, and she's like, it is so hot in your house. I just don't know what to do. It was 91 when we got back on that Monday evening. 91. And she's sitting there like, it's so hot in here. I'm like, go outside. I'd get in the pool, do something else. I just didn't know what to do. I'm like, oh, fans are blazing. She went and got one at Walgreens. Fixed it, got it all done. This was years ago.
Brady Bogan
Cheapskate.
John Holmberg
Doesn't even turn thermostat down. She's got it down to, like, 60. It's worse than. There's no way it's 60 in here. I think I'm dying. It was like, the worst menopause ever. She was in the hottest of hot flashes. So. Yeah, my Casey went out one time during the summer, and I was still doing overnights. I literally was so bad. I literally laid on a pool float. You just had my feet on the cool deck. And just case you dropped out there. Yeah. Slept out there. Slept in the pool. Yeah, I literally did. It's the only way to do it. You got to stay wet. Yeah. Shower and walk around. Go stand by the freezer. We've all done it. It's an Arizona tradition, but, yeah. Well, good. I'm glad you lived through that, Brady. That's. That's no fun. Lonnie Anderson can't say the same. She missed that. She didn't make it. I always saw Lonnie Anderson as what JonBenet would have grown into. I. I saw. I don't know why. Maybe something's wrong with me. I saw Lonnie Anderson. If, like, I saw Lil Lonnie Anderson when I saw the JonBenet picture, I'm like, oh, she's Lonnie Anderson. Little kid. And so when I saw the pictures of Lonnie this weekend, I kept thinking about. So I did a deep dive on JonBenet again. And, oh, yeah, there's no question the parents killed her. Thanks Lonnie Anderson for bringing that weekend to me. I mean, it's just obvious. Didn't kill Lonnie Anderson. Let me get that straight. Parents. I don't think John Ramsey. Actually, I think I know for a fact the mom's gone, so she couldn't John Ramsey. The dad did not kill Lonnie Anderson. Just so you're clear, I don't want to get sued by the Ramseys because they'll get. They're litigious. You know what else I learned this weekend? The dude who invented sea monkeys was a wild white supremacist. I had a couple reads this weekend. The dude in the middle of an interview started to go. He was crazy about whites. Loved us whites. And in the middle of an interview, he goes, slanty, shifty, Koreans their eyes. And some guy goes, what? And he goes, everyone knows where I stand. Dude made it. He died in, like, 2003. You know what else he invented was.
Brady Bogan
That interview from 2003.
John Holmberg
No, he wasn't even old. He used to do that. He did it the whole time. Dude who invented sea monkeys, like, gave to Aryan groups. Like, he was a wild white supremacist made on average, even still to this day, sea monkeys pulling 4 million a year.
Brady Bogan
What?
John Holmberg
Yeah. And so this dude was making a fortune and given, like, he was tithing to racist groups. The Klan. He was a big one on the Klan.
Brady Bogan
I got him.
John Holmberg
Oh, everybody. I've gotten them multiple times in my life as an adult. I'm like, I wonder if they made the tank better. Like, I'm getting some more of these. So I got more. But, yeah, it was. He's an insane racist Harold.
Brady Bogan
Now that I know that, I'm going to buy more.
John Holmberg
I think it was Harold Von Brompton or Brown Bronton. That's fitting. But he added the Vaughn to sound more German. He's a Jew. Oh, it's herald like Brownton. But he's like, if I throw a Vaughn in there, it'll sound more White Supreme. Is he using Ted Lasso in his commercials, too? Oh, yeah. No, he'd be. He'd fit in downstairs, no problem with all the Hitler isms and stuff we got going on. But, yeah, you know what else he invented, which was awesome? This was the biggest thing. And it started to take off, and then people didn't do it. In the 70s, everyone was dumb 100% across the board. There were no. No one.
Brady Bogan
X ray glasses. Sea monkeys.
John Holmberg
X ray glasses, Sea monkeys. The pet rock. You know what he invented? And it started to take off and I thought, brilliant. The invisible goldfish. He would sell you a little tank and inside was an invisible goldfish. It was just a bowl of water. He didn't even add. You added the water.
Brady Bogan
Is that the invisible goldfish?
John Holmberg
Dude had invisible goldfish. We had idiots nowadays, but man. Yeah. So it had a little thing on the side said the invisible goldfish. And people were sucking it up like crazy. Novelty, obviously, but between the pet rock and X ray glass. And he invented X ray glasses as well. Same guy. To see the soul of the demon. Koreans. They don't have one. Yeah. So I'm convinced that the Ramsay family killed their daughter and also found out through some weird. This is the best thing about the Internet, as you can go down these roads, is that the Sea Monkeys inventor was an insane racist, and it changes the entire thing. I'm surprised Brett hasn't laughed at the name he chose for it, because it would absolutely take you down a road where it's like, of course he's racist. Brine shrimp. And then another dude who had sea monkeys kept them for, like, nine years. And they got pretty thick. Very healthy batch of sea monkeys. And they would mate. And then after a while, he's like, look how big these Two are. And you could. And you didn't even need the magnifying glasses in the tank. You just see him in there floating around like they. And he's mating. He's like okay, a couple of more size of cell phones. Like you could. I think you could deep fry his sea monkey. Did they look like this once he got done? They never grew hair and had like cocktail parties like that.
Brady Bogan
I fell for it.
John Holmberg
As was the promise. Building their own castles and frick ass sea monkeys. No, they just the guy and you know credit to him, he could. He sat and he saw brine shrimp and water. He goes, I could sell this to idiots. And he did. For a buck and a quarter a pop. Evidently back in the 60s.
Brady Bogan
Throw your eggs in.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. They think they're in an hour.
Brady Bogan
They just have to hydrate.
John Holmberg
That's it. Yeah, they just came to life with water. That is a cool shirt. It's a naked sea monkey. Yeah. Dude was an insane racist. Like not even one of those little races like you know, slight like your grandpa. Like the real deal. Get me a hood. We're going to a meeting.
Brady Bogan
Races the amazing lives the monkeys so eager to please.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I never understood that. That line. I remember that like you start doing chores around the house or something. Morning sickness medicate. Kupd.

John Holmberg
And then last night. I don't know what's going on, but my, my ring bell alerted me. At the rental house I was watching the Billy Joel documentary which is pretty darn good. It's a little long. And the ring bell goes off and an ambulance goes by this lights on and a fire truck goes by with its lights on. And I'm like nobody's at that house. And I left every door unlocked and. And then another thing goes by, a car and some lady starts screaming, oh my God. What the. Look at my face. Oh man, this is not good. And it took me a second because it's just kind of in the background, they're screaming and they picked up the car going by. They picked up the screaming in the background. And I'm like, ah. So he drove all the way over there to make sure everything was. Everything was fine. It sucked. When you think something horrible is happening and you make the trek, why do.
Brady Bogan
You go towards danger?
John Holmberg
Well, that wasn't towards danger. It was just making sense. Yeah. Didn't you learn anything? Look, I have learned everything. If I'd have driven down that road and there would have been lights, I'd have kept going. Everything was fine. The sucky part was everything was fine. I went towards excitement, not danger. That was fun. I wanted to see your face. She said on my ring camera, look at my face. And I'm like, okay, I'll be over a minute. And I did. I went right over there. No face, no blood. I drove around the neighborhood once, maybe it was behind me. Nothing said I'm trapped. Like, ah, are you slum lord renting out Maryville? Nice spot. That's what it was. Surprising. So I leave the doors unlocked. I'm like, it's a nice area. Yeah, yeah. I had no idea. And it caused this, this incredible like jet over. I had to stop watching the Billy Joel doc with like 15 minutes left in the first. It's too long. 2 hours and 10 minutes an episode. Billy, come on.
Brady Bogan
Wow, that is.
John Holmberg
Cut it down. I want to know about you, but this is out of control. All it took was some girl screaming. Now I wanted to see. What I wanted to see was the aftermath of danger. I don't go towards danger while it's happening. I go to danger after it's getting mopped up. Not even close to being a dangerous situation. I mean the ring camera took care of all that. Took me like 25 minutes to get over there. So I don't know, just a pain in the ass all the way around.
Brady Bogan
So you didn't have to recover or provide any of the footage for.
John Holmberg
No, there's nothing. Oh, she wasn't on there. It was just in the background screaming. The car going by set the camera off and it spit. Lex did one of those speed outs. You could hear it. And then she starts screaming at that wildcat pitch, that high pitched. And I'm like, whoa, is that a dog getting hit by a car or something? Then I listen again and she goes, oh my God, are you effing kidding me? And that's the top lungs. And you can tell she's walking away from wherever she. I couldn't see her, but I could Hear it, like, get further away. And then it was. I can't believe this. Look at my face. I'm like, this dude took her out. I gotta get over there and see nothing. Absolutely no relationships. I don't know if it was relation. It might have been maybe. Yeah. Could have been the guy just punched her and left. I don't know. That's kind of what it seemed like if I had to break it down, but if I could get some information, that'd be great. I went over there Saturday and there was a guy with his kid playing in my front yard. Actually had to do it. Hey, you guys want to get off of there? Oh, okay. We didn't know if anyone was home. Doesn't make it right. Let's go. Keep it moving. Hey, like. And the kid was like eight.
Brady Bogan
They were just running around having fun in the yard.
John Holmberg
Two of them. Not like, you know, if it was a baby. I get. He drifted off into the yard. This kid was like, capable. Just hanging around in the front yard, like rolling a weird. Like one of those poor people. Walgreens balls in that bin. Useless kind of rubber balls.
Brady Bogan
Like a tie dye T shirt.
John Holmberg
Yeah, they're too light for any sort of sport and too big for. They're dumb. They're just a ball, like. And I didn't see if the kid was retarded or anything.
Brady Bogan
Not a real playground kickball.
John Holmberg
I think he might have been our word. I didn't look him, but he had to be to be. His dad was for sure just standing in the yard. I'm like, hey, how you doing? We didn't think anyone was home. Well, yeah.
Brady Bogan
Where's their yard?
John Holmberg
I don't know. They just decided to take mine on. I don't know what kind of hood you live in. It's a nice hood. I think everybody feels good about it. I. I'm. I'm not living there. I can see why I was living there. Ridiculous.
Brady Bogan
The rental, the one you gotta smoke and they gotta.
John Holmberg
I got an amazing deal. Slum lord. Johnny redid everything. I'm looking around like, hey, it's. You know, the new landscaping isn't for you, so I don't know what might.
Brady Bogan
Be time to spin that.
John Holmberg
No, I'm gonna put some people in. Look, I'm gonna put. This weekend, when I was there, there was a hot boy pool party across the street at the Airbnb.
Brady Bogan
Now you're selling.
John Holmberg
Now, like, I'm gonna stick around for a minute. The hot boy pool party wasn't playing in my front yard, but if you turned your grinder on then. Oh, you and I turned grinder on Saturday when Hot boy pool party. And I looked and I'm like, what the hell? All of them got out of their cars with no shirt on and then another car would show up. Another car. And they all had towels and coolers and it only lasted like four hours. It was just a. I think it was just a festival. That's the bad thing about the Airbnb is that like people will rent it for a few hours and becomes just a dirty house. And that was what happened. They played in the pool and they shot mayonnaise all over the walls and then they left. Alt Az have a remote over there. It did look like that. It looked like one of their. One of those where they did it at the Graduates. Like you'd think some cruddy new band. Yeah. Session session. That some crappy new band would come over and go, my jeans are tighter than your jeans. There was just a off in the backyard. But yeah, it's a nice area. Nothing wrong with it. It just. Last night and Saturday was strange. Got dudes kick. And who buys those balls? I didn't. I thought those were decorative, those drugstore balls with the.
Brady Bogan
You see them in that wire bin.
John Holmberg
Yeah. That big and it's big and like, who's the guy at CVS and Walmart that keeps ordering those? We're out of those. Like, no, you're not. You're never out of those. Those are the same balls when I was a kid in the. In that Walgreens that are there today. They're useless. There's not a sport you can play with them.
Brady Bogan
The only thing you can. Well, you can play that inner store basketball.
John Holmberg
Yes. Yeah. Because when you bop one out the only. The only. Yeah. You have to have a six foot wire bin and you have to. And then once it's in there, it's over because you can't get it out again unless you've got a hundred other of those. And I don't know, I don't know who, but he had one of. It was pinkish red. Like it was tie dyed. You're right.
Brady Bogan
Yeah.
John Holmberg
Almost looked like it was stained. And he's just kind of rolling it. I think he might have been a little R. I don't like to use the R word. So I'll call him E tarted. He was kind of pushing it and then kind of wobbling after. But he was tall, like 7 or 8 years old. I'm no good at that, by the way. That Kid could have been three. I look at kids somewhere between three and 11 and I'm like, three, 11. There it is. That's the coat. I have no idea the difference. I assumed age. But the dad, the dad didn't have a yard.
Brady Bogan
That's why he's got a yard.
John Holmberg
Wander around other people if you don't have a yard.
Brady Bogan
Go to a park.
John Holmberg
That's what parks are for. And my house is not like on a corner or anything. It's in the middle. This is you rental Kowalski. Get off. Get off my lawn.
Brady Bogan
You see a free kickball sign up in my yard?
John Holmberg
I did. I did. Like my immediate response. I didn't think anyone was home. That doesn't make this better. Okay, thanks. Sorry. And to his credit, he didn't stick around. Maybe he was there for the hot boy pool party across the street. That's true. Just had his kid playing in front of her to your house. Weirdest thing is I. I found myself kind of hiding behind a wall by my front window trying to get snapshots of the hot boy pool party as it unloaded itself into the front. I got no good pictures. Yeah. Because I wanted to send them around going, oh, boys. I was going to send them to you guys, but hot boy pool party. Reason why is because I met Caliendo over there in Scottsdale. So we hung out in that same spot. Started there and then went a hot boy pool party started. I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen over there. You call Hopkins that place? No, I'm keeping that place. It's an Airbnb, my friend. It's going to be hot boy pool parties are going to happen at my place without a pool. It's going to be a hot boy golf off. A lot of golf stuff in there, putting green and all the toys in the back. It's going to be great. But yeah, hot boy golf party. It'll probably be. The dads of the hot boy pool party will be there, which I'm fine with.
Brady Bogan
Have you been to the Caddyshag?
John Holmberg
It's going to be that. And that's the one thing I do already know. Once that thing opens up, it's just going to be. It's got Caddyshack theme. I got a neon sign that says Gonga Galanga. And I forgot to turn it off. And it was just raging in the window last night. I'm like, oh, that's a good thing. I came back because people are going to think this place is nuts. But yeah, Caddyshag is probably more accurate. It's going to have a lot of, there's going to be a lot of dudes like there for golf weekends. Sup. And they're going to. And there's like a bunch of twinking that's going to happen in this block party. Hot boy pool party across the street. Middle aged man and actually probably sp quite a lot of older, you know, May December twink romance. Have the older golfers who were established hot boy pool party across the road and they'll join forces and you'll just have a bunch of, you know, young twinks under the arm. Yeah, that's, it's, it's good stuff. It's a nice spot. When it's up for rent, I'll let everybody know and you guys can stay across the street from HBOY pool party and house golf. Holmberg's morning sickness. I listen to this one. I got this email. I love this. Another one. By the way, this is, I don't know if this is just the age of the show showing or says, dear boys, I had a heart attack on June 11 while listening to your show. It was on in the background. John had made a comment for some reason I giggled just enough that it triggered a heart attack. I had just finished masturbating. That's right, Brady, that happens while you're on the air. I wonder how often I wonder if there's a guy right now giggling with his crank and his throat when I was doing it. Says I giggled pretty hard and then suddenly I started sweating like crazy. I live alone since I divorced my wife, so I had to get myself to the hospital. It was a bigger deal than I thought. Had a quadruple bypass. Had it not been for John saying something really stupid and making me laugh when he did, I might have had the heart attack driving or something a little later. Anyway, I want the audio. I want to see if it was the comment and it triggers another one or if it was just a coincidence. I also want to know what was said. I'm only 46, I'm fat as f. Signed. You're supposed to say sincerely or thank you, not I'm fat as F. That's not a sign off, Kyle. This is happening a lot now. People are emailing saying, amazing, he got in. They had near death experiences. We're killing it. We're literally killing our listeners. And he's 46 and he's fat as. But still, to all you guys beating it off right now, I mean, something might trigger you, you Got to be careful. This show will kill you. I want to know what we said, too. Toledo's got to start looking at the June 11 rundown to see what was on that show. If we did anything that, you know, could make a heart attack happen in a weird way. Kind of proud of that. Kind of proud of that.
Brady Bogan
One liner.
John Holmberg
Yeah, a one hit. Just whatever was said, whatever topic we were on zinged him with something, made him laugh, and his heart goes. That's the last thing you need to hear. Brady's God said, there is no more reason for you to listen to anything that's the best thing you're ever going to hear. And it tried to kill him.
Brady Bogan
What if it ended up being something like dude juice.
John Holmberg
He's in there while he's firing. Ow, my chest. Yeah, I guess heart attacks can happen that way. I don't think you can blame us for that. Can we get sued for that? Am I gonna have to write a check for this? I didn't kill the guy, right? I don't owe him any money. I don't owe you money for that. That's your fault. You said it yourself. You're fat as. It's not my fault this happened. It's not my fault I made you jiggle like a bowl of jelly. But if you're out of shape right now, I highly recommend you turn it to Beth show because you'll never laugh at that. Or maybe even kslx. Nobody ever laughs. There you go. It's safe. It's super safe from heart. Any. Anybody with a heart condition can listen to that vanilla nonsense. You don't have to worry about ever laughing at that. I mean, maybe occasionally Beth will make you laugh because that dude has some stories. See that? Just. My chest just tightened up. Maybe I did it to me. John Jay and Rich don't make you laugh. They just make you wonder about the hot boy pool party. I don't think there's anything else out there. Are there any other ones? I don't even know what the other shows are.
Brady Bogan
Morning Mess.
John Holmberg
Is that a thing still? Is he? Is he? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Pretty safe from a heart attack. I don't think they've ever. I mean, people have killed themselves listening, but I don't think an actual natural death has happened. I think that dude in KFYI is funnier than all them. Oh, yeah. James. James west or whatever. James T. West. I'm James T. Washington. I'm just gonna call him that. I forgot that guy's name. Jimmy T. Washington. We say over KFY the crusher. Yeah. So, yeah, we kill you. We have killed before and we'll kill again. Guys, Kyle emails in. Another cow says using F and last name. People think it's me. I tell them I'm listening all the time. I'm 38 years old and I'm in Donna. So I guess when he said he was fat as. Couldn't be you. It's not you, Kyle. I've seen you. You try in life. This guy gave up years earlier, became a lard ass, and then laughing nearly killed him. What's the June 11 rundown, Rich?
Brett
All right, so we got a second email from big perp Bobby Lavs.
John Holmberg
That's right.
Brett
He had a custody question.
John Holmberg
See, I'm going now.
Brett
There was a drunk man in India who fell into a pit and was buried alive that we talked about that.
John Holmberg
Was that funny?
Brett
Maybe.
John Holmberg
Could you. We made it go anyway.
Brett
Story you found about women or podcasts or something that you were listening to about how women claim things that they taught their man.
John Holmberg
I don't remember that at all.
Brett
And then the Brady Report had the legend of Kentucky man, Cowboy Cody.
John Holmberg
None of this is. This is all. No, I would have to listen to this to start all over. I have no idea what any of it was.
Brett
Also National Cornbread Day, where we went cornstick. Cornstick.
John Holmberg
It was corn stick. Cornstick. Yeah, cornstick. Nothing in that seemed heart attack inducing.
Brett
If you're having a heart attack now.
John Holmberg
Maybe it's just a mere mention of that show, huh?
Brett
Yeah, I can go do a deeper dive, but.
John Holmberg
Well, I guess it had less to do with our show and more to do with the fact that you're fat as. I think that's the bigger thing, Kyle, is you said it yourself, it wasn't our fault. And again, I'm not taking the blame for this. I've got a pretty clean track record. Only ask the owners. You think different. I have not had. No, we haven't killed anybody yet. No, you know, dot, dot, dot, ellipsis. You never know. But as of right now, all our comments have not resulted in anyone dying.
Brady Bogan
Not once you die from laughter to.
John Holmberg
Begin with, that's a pretty good way to go out. I would rather die while laughing. Not a chuckle that induced it. Not something minor. It made you go, ouch.
Brady Bogan
He said Uranus.
John Holmberg
Yeah, exactly. What if it was dumb? That was that. No, that wasn't it. That could have been a Brady brace. Wanted to. Yeah, he said. I said it. And I'm not making Uranus jokes. And he said Brady said Something that made me giggle. I was like, oh, boy. What Uranus pun? He was due to die anyway, if that's the case. Exactly. I want you off my planet. You're laughing at the Uranus puns.
Brett
That was the morning we talked about losing your friend Brian Breese as well. And about how you needed phones.
John Holmberg
We had a couple of good lines in there.
Brett
Yeah.
John Holmberg
On Breeze passing away. I told his wife called me after that and said we would never actually. I'm like, yeah, yeah, we're good. And then I didn't hear from her again. It wasn't like invited to the funeral or anything. I think she got mad at that. Still, though. Okay. There was some good stuff in that. I remember that.
Brett
That was a long conversation because.
John Holmberg
Yeah, we had a couple of good talks about Breeze. Maybe it made him laugh. And Brian. That Brian's death was dominoed into another death.
Brett
Almost death.
John Holmberg
Yeah. But again, I lean more on the fact that Kyle even says it at the end. I'm 46 and I'm fat as. That's wheelhouse heart attacks. 46 to 58. Fat as usually. You're going to have something go wrong there. Anyway. We didn't kill you, Kyle. That's not how this works at all. As much as I would like to have killed a listener through laughter, again, I hold it. And we're coming up on our. Was this the 24th anniversary of this show? And I hold this. This is a badge of honor. And even before that, when I worked at the other station here in town. Have not. No matter what the silliness of the comment is, no one has ever died from this show. Ever, ever, ever. No one's even been shot at, stabbed, strangled, beaten up because of something said on this show. Raped. None of it. The old Patrice o'. Neill. How many bad rape jokes have actually led to real rapes? The answer is none. So stop making funny subjective to the point where a lunatic would go off and do something they don and we certainly can't cause a heart attack. But not saying I wouldn't take a little pride in that, because I would go to that guy's funeral just to have his family go. He was. He loved your show. He listened. In fact, the last thing he laughed at was you. Wow. Get in line. Hilarious. Anyway, yeah.
Brady Bogan
Lift your corn sticks up.
John Holmberg
Lift the corn sticks. Which I would have thought that. I do remember that. I thought that was corn on the cob. And just a hillbilly way to say it. No, there's real things as corn sticks. They got little pans for them and everything. I don't know. What are you gonna do, Kyle? I'm glad you're better. I'm glad you're emailing and no, you can't have that copy of that show. We don't give copies of the show away because what if it did it again? Like it's better it's better off that you don't trigger what if it is that show and you and it's some sort of weird Bermuda Triangle of weirdness that when you hear that show you drop out? I'm not doing that to you. And then you would find out that they could sue us not doing it. You'll never get that stuff from us. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? A good one before Kyle drops dead again. 585-9800 is the number. We'll scream it together. It's 98 KUPD. Wake up.
Brady Bogan
It's not weird.
John Holmberg
It's pretty cool actually. No membership fees. I have heard enough of.
