So we are celebrating for no reason whatsoever. And the show's 24th anniversary is on the 26th or 7th of this month. A lot going on, so we might as well raise our glasses and have a good time. We're doing it at the Rooster, and here's what I found out yesterday. I knew this, but I forgot this. Slipped my mind. I've been telling everybody, just show up. They are shutting the bar down for us. And they got the Humane Society involved because they know the show, and they're like, we're gonna charge people 20 bucks ahead to get in and get. Humane Society is getting the money. I'm like, that's not gonna stop anybody. So, rooster, Saturday at 9. No, there's a. There's a cover charge at the door of 20 bucks. And they're gonna knock out the Humane Society with a big check at the end. So it's technically all for a great cause. I'd forgotten that they'd talked about that. So I've been saying, just show up. Cause it's kind of how I feel about this whole night. It's just gonna be a free for all. Goof off. They are charging 20 bucks at the door, which is great because it only holds, like, 100 and something people. Rooster's gonna be a party Saturday. Cinco de Brett. Cinco de Juapo and Wapo. Spanish means handsome. Well, there you go. So there you go, Brett. Congrats. I'm not necessarily talking about you. I'm just saying 5 of handsome. I don't know if that's a thing. And then, of course, we're gonna play. Van's gonna play songs from movie soundtracks. Vision Quest. You're gonna like that. Lunatic Fringes in Their Brain. Stupid stuff. Some Kenny Loggins. Never in a movie, surprisingly. Man. And then the more you go on, the more you realize that we could have done it. And we don't want to hear it, by the way. You should have done. You should. There's. We'd be there for days if we were picking up, you know, oh, my God, it would be never ending. There's so many. So we picked ones we just kind of wanted to goof with. But we got some fun ones up there, too. So head on down there. Roosters on Saturday, celebrating my belated birthday, Brett's birthday. Brett's fifth anniversary. The show's 24th anniversary. Toledo. And, of course, Brady still being here. Another year of Brady. We call it Pop Pops Alive. Anya, what is that? Uno de anos el Brady. I don't know. Why does it have to be Spanish. One year of Brady. One more year of year Brady. I can't wait. We're gonna have a good time out there, so prepare yourselves for a drunken disaster. That's what we're preparing for. How about this? Kellen Cooper? This is one of those life hacks emails in. We had the little discussion there of, like, when you're driving around with your. It can be a guy, too. Most time it's the woman when you're trying to figure out where to eat dinner, even if you're just door dashing and you say, I don't care. Wherever. Yeah. And then the argument of, well, I don't care either. It's like, we'll just pick something. It's like you say pizza. No, I had pizza for lunch. Oh, okay. Like sushi. No, I don't want any of that tonight. Okay, well, what do you want? I don't care. Chicken wings. No, I don't want. I don't want anything messy, make my stomach hurt. Soup? Come on, be serious. What do you want? Kellen has a brilliant fix to this. I hope so. Ladies, turn your radios off. I don't want the ladies listening anymore. Turn them off. I did have something happen on Saturday when we were talking about the doordash for dinner, Ronnie and I. First time it's ever happened. Yeah. Don't know if it'll happen again. She said, just pick something and order and hand it to me and I'll find something. On that same.
Wayne
You pick the place.
Larry McFeely
Oh, you just pick the place. And she'll find something. She did exactly what normally say. I don't care. That's outstanding. I'm usually on the other end because women are the ones that have all this. Usually it's going down the line. Usually it's a trap. Yeah, they've got, like. They know what they don't want. Yeah. Yeah. This one's got, like, cauliflower issues or can't have sauce. On Tuesday, my doctor said that my eyes will explode if I eat noodles. Like, they've got all the food needs. They're the ones who bloat. They're the ones who get weird with. Yeah, you know, we all have heard the word bloat. I never once heard Brett go, I can't do anything. I'm bloated. Guys don't do it. And I know that's not fair, ladies, but enough with the bloating. Stop it. Get. Didn't your mother teach you anything? That this was part of your future? Like, you all do it? How come you don't have a plan. You know Chipotle? No. Chipotle's too heavy, like, so. Kellen's idea is brilliant. Take a swig out of your pro. Listen to this. Yeah, yeah. Get it. Drink some probiotics, take 6,000 pills that some healer gave you, and still later, I'm about it. Like, it doesn't work. Go to your goddamn life coach. Nothing is doing is working. Nothing you're doing is working. Life coach. Rub your belly. I had a salad and there was a shrimp in it. You had 6 million pills. Maybe they make you bloat. Bloating. This one says, the secret is you just tell her you have a surprise for her and Sam taking her to dinner night, guess where we're going. And the first thing she says say, yep, genius, I'm gonna take you to dinner. I got a surprise for you. Where do you think we're going? Oh, my God. Hellstone. Yup. And then you go to dinner with her. It's over. Whatever she says, take her there, you'll get no complaining. If she bloats later, it's her fault. This is great. Now it might be a problem if she always picks super expensive places. There's no dude ever goes. Got a surprise for you tonight. Gonna take you to dinner. Guess where. Hillston Panda Express. Like that's not on her menu. That's a great move, Kellen. Very smart. You manipulate the situation where she actually makes a decision and she doesn't even know that's what just happened. What? Wait, wait. We're going out tonight? Oh, my God. It's gonna be special. I've got reservations. What? Oh, my God. Where you guess? Oh, my God. This is amazing. Toca Madera? Yup. Yup. Just John C. Rather. Yep, that's where we're going. Oh, wait, I don't. I'm gonna wreck it. We're going to Toca Madera, and we're gonna have dinner together like I planned. Oh, my God, you're so thoughtful. Yep. Did we just become best friends? Yep. And then on the other conversation of the gynecologist, this guy says, john, we all knew a gynecologist, a friend of ours, and we told him, come on, man. How many of them are nice ones? Give me a number, because you got to see some nice ones. He said 80% of them are not fresh or clean. The bigger women especially. Evidently, the dude had an answer right away. I've been waiting for you guys to ask me that. 80%. 8 of 10. Not fresh or clean. It's he said, especially the bigger women, they sweat and have bacteria in the folds and it wafts out if they don't. Yeah, I think I'd be a teacher now. Yep. If they don't shave it, it holds the sweat and stench. He said that. Think of a woman whose house is a mess and she wears the same sweatpants at least four days a week. She doesn't clean up properly in her house or down there at all. No way. So we went from excited to hear. Yeah, we went from excited to hear his stories to horrified and sad. Have a great one. To my favorite boys and Toledo. I just thought of this. I'm wondering if gynecologists named them sweatpants because when a woman quits, that's all she wears. You got a wife, that's all she wears. She's quit. She wears sweatpants. And the gynecologist is like, oh God, she wears sweatpants. She's quit. And the reason he calls them sweatpants is because that's what he's got to deal with now. It's the swampy nature of alligator Alcatraz that's living down there. Does he put the Old Spice in the rag like Roy Scheider and Jaws when he's chumming? That's actually probably a good idea. He just got it on a stick and a washcloth. What are you doing, doctor? Don't worry about it. There. Sweatpants we got you too expensive. Just a clothes pin. All right, we're going in. We're going in. Yeah, if you're wearing sweatpants. Same sweatpants. More than four days in a week. Your gynecologist named your pants? I did. I always wondered why they were called sweatpants. That doesn't seem. It's because of gynecologist sweating, though. It's a gynecologist pants. Regular pants. No, cuz it's for women who've quit on their lives and they only wear sweatpants. And it's four days a week of swamping out in those things and then dropping that bomb on their gyna. Oh, she's wearing those pants. Well, you know the ones that they sweat in all week. They're. They're. I guess they wear them. Their sweatpants and then it took off. All because of the sweatshirt. Yeah, I don't know. I guess sweatshirts. Probably gynecologists didn't name that. Not always. You can use sweatpants by themselves when women. Women don't. We. Sweatshirts and sweatpants. That. That's a dude. But if she's. Yeah. Out of the same material. But the gynecologist named the sweatpants for sure. There's no question. It's no question. This one says, john, you fixed something in my life. You introduced me to life from a hat. That was my plan years ago, is to have several scenarios in a hat. A top hat, preferably placed somewhere in your house. And then when you're like, you want to play life from a hat? You reach. It's. It's. From Whose Line is It Anyway? Life from a hat. Except for it's your wife and you're doing fun stuff, and you reach into the hat and you pull out an idea for the night. Sometimes it's like sensual massage, and sometimes it's barbecue at Brady's house. It's. It's always barbecue. It's nine. Nine out of the ten. And each of you write down ten different things you want to do, and you plop them in there. And all the sexual ones are the guy, and all the, like, let's make a candle are the girl. And sometimes you get lucky, but you got to reach into life from a hat. And hopefully it's like blowjobs with two fingers in me. Or sipping wine and painting. I wonder who wrote that. So you kind of get an idea of which one is what. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't. But it's chance. He said, my former wife loved it. A couple of the girls I've dated have enjoyed it as well. Well, it ain't working for you, Nicholas. I'm hearing a lot of breakups I've done and see things I would have never done. Expanded on this, expounded on this one hat has a running hat of restaurants. We want to try another hat. I have. Get new times and write down all the events that are happening that day. Then you pick a place and you eat. And then one of the events that's happening. That's a pretty good idea, too. And then you gotta have a sex hat, right? You got. What's this? Dirty. Dirty sex hat. Title 9 WNBA. That'd be fun. Watching. I'd be all over that viewing party. You married a lesbian. You didn't even know it until you drew her. Title 9 viewing party. And you draw to your head, it says, call Cordell and Cordell immediately. Divorce lawyer chats. It's fun. Mine reach in. It's like, change your sweatpants day. Burn your sweatpants. Let's burn all of our sweatpants. Some of those guys out there will be like, that is a great idea. Things to do today. Life from a Hat. It's a good idea. Although it sounds like Nicholas, that your ex wife and a couple of girls you've dated. Wife from a hat. Might only be working for you, but he's, you know, he had a good run with it. Yeah, Brady has the right idea. When asking what his wife wants for dinner, he usually just says, time for dinner. I'm going to Seven Brothers. What? Cars running. If you want in, you want something, text me. That's probably it. Yeah, you probably don't have a lot of those conversations. I don't care. What do you want to eat? Everything. Seven Brothers. Bye. That's a good idea. Anyway. That's good stuff right there. Thank you. To your life hacks from the listeners. How about that listener life hacks? I still might do another Pantera. I'm in the mood to maybe double down on it. We'll see. We'll see. Possibly. In the meantime, we got a Rock wars coming up next. It's 98. Hey. It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee. I have heard enough of this. Hey, Byron, I was looking@mmpguns.com's website.

In fact, it's the first fourth different sign. They've got a new realtor all the time. I do know this, though. They wouldn't be dealing with all this stress if they'd have just called TVs Doug Hopkins because he's more than a guy buying your house. He makes an offer for your house, cash. As is, you don't have to do anything. The deal is over. So all you got to do is start the process online@doug hopkins.com or sing Hopkins 1-800-sale now.

Episode: 08-06-25
Release Date: August 6, 2025
The episode kicks off with host John Holmberg and his co-hosts, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo, announcing the upcoming Cinco de Wopo Birthday Show scheduled to take place at Rooster on Saturday night. This celebratory event marks multiple milestones, including:
Dick Toledo mentions the logistical details, noting that Rooster will be accommodating the event despite some initial pushback:
"They are shutting the bar down for us... they're charging people $20 ahead to get in and support the Humane Society with a big check at the end" (04:30).
The hosts emphasize the event's casual and fun atmosphere, encouraging listeners to show up and enjoy the festivities without worrying about the cover charge.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to a listener-submitted life hack from Kellen Cooper, aimed at resolving the common "What do you want to eat for dinner?" dilemma. The discussion highlights the frustration couples often face when neither party has a specific preference, leading to indecision and prolonged arguments.
Kellen's Solution:
"Tell her you have a surprise for her and take her to dinner tonight. Guess where we're going." (04:50)
The hosts role-play the scenario, demonstrating how this approach allows one party to make the decision without further debate:
"Oh, I'm going to wreck it. We're going to Toca Madera, and we're gonna have dinner together like I planned." (05:15)
This tactic not only simplifies the decision-making process but also adds an element of surprise and spontaneity to dinner plans.
The episode takes a controversial turn when the hosts discuss comments allegedly made by a gynecologist regarding women's hygiene, particularly focusing on larger women. This segment sparked significant debate among the hosts, blending humor with sensitive topics.
Key Points:
Brady Bogen reflects on the impact of these comments:
"We went from excited to hear... to horrified and sad." (03:30)
The discussion underscores the importance of respectful and professional conduct within the medical field, especially concerning sensitive topics like personal hygiene and body image.
Another listener-submitted idea introduces the concept of "Life from a Hat," a method for couples to decide on activities or dinners by randomly selecting options from a hat. This approach aims to infuse spontaneity and fairness into decision-making.
Process:
John Holmberg illustrates the concept with a humorous example:
"Sometimes it's like sensual massage, and sometimes it's barbecue at Brady's house. It's always barbecue." (05:00)
While the idea is met with enthusiasm, Nicholas shares personal experiences indicating mixed results in his relationships:
"It's a good idea, although it sounds like... it might only be working for you." (06:00)
Towards the end of the episode, the hosts promote various local events and services:
Larry McFeely encourages listeners to check out these events for great entertainment in the Valley:
"Catch the always hilarious Carlos Sia... the one and only Annie Letterman entertaining you all week." (15:30)
This episode of Holmberg's Morning Sickness is a blend of celebratory announcements, practical listener advice, and engaging (albeit controversial) discussions. From planning a memorable birthday show to tackling everyday relationship challenges with creative solutions, the hosts deliver a dynamic and entertaining morning show experience. Listeners are encouraged to participate in upcoming events and leverage the shared life hacks to enhance their personal lives.
