[Wayne]

Holmberg's morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. That's a lot of cock. Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Wednesday. It's 5:45. This is the morning sickness. My name is John Holmberg. How are you? There's Brady, there's Brett, and there's Big dick Toledo as we celebrate yet another day of Brett's five years. Yesterday we started calling it Cinco de Brett, but a much better idea has come in through a guy on the emails calls it Cinco de Wapo. And I think that's pretty solid too. I think that's where we're gonna go with it for today, at least. Cinco de years ago.

[Larry McFeely]

Five across the morning sickness.

[Wayne]

And you never know when that's going to come to an end, my friend. Thanks. Look forward to. Well, everybody's emailing me this texting this morning with the Stern thing. Have you seen that? Howard's not coming back. And I find it almost hysterical. Look, everybody knows. Well, I've been accused. When anyone gets mad at me, they think it's an insult to say you're a poor man's Howard Stern. Which I always think like, geez, that's not so bad. If you're even thinking about Howard Stern and me, it's, I'm not copying him. But if you think I'm a poor man's Howard Stern, I guess that's not bad. I always equate that back in the day, it's like, ah, he's nothing more than a weak ass Johnny Carson. Well, if I'm reminding you of him at all, I'm doing something right. So Stern is, in my opinion, the best interviewer that's ever had a job doing that. I think him and Mike Wallace, totally separate reasons for it, but Stern's always been great. But, you know, like most people, I think it wasn't so much that we grew out of Howard's humor. It just stopped being humor like years ago. I don't know what happened. Maybe it's a guy thing. Maybe when you become 60, 64, 5 years old, you. You stop being funny and you start caring about, like, only about politics and weird stuff that, like, just. You feel like the world's passed you by, so you just get mad at the people running it. I think be an actual thing because Howard got so political. And before it was just for the sake of the joke, like everything was nothing was off limits and everything. And then a year ago, he says out loud, if you voted for. If you voted for anything I didn't vote for. I don't want you listening to the show anymore if you don't agree with me 100% across the board, as far as not even, like, topics, just voting, just generalization, tribal stuff. If you're not on my team, at least on the surface, I don't want you to listen. And evidently that had a major effect. There were a lot of cancellations. But I find it hysterical, though, and this is radio and XM ownerships and stuff like that, that they act like they're. I don't know that there's no other option for Howard now. It's a. Probably a blessing for him. I mean, if he wants to keep going. Howard Stearns podcast, although less interesting than ever because of his. His mental swing, he goes on and just interviews everybody on a podcast. He gets everything that. I mean, he's. Or he just quits. He's 71 years old. I don't know why he wants Larry King. Yeah, I don't get why people want to keep doing that. 71 seems like. And I guess maybe to just take care of the other people on a show and stuff like that. But I can promise you this. If you boys aren't settled by the time I'm done, I'm not going to think about you one second. And when I'm done, I'm done. That's it. And that's, you know, you should. You're an adult. You can figure it out from there. And I, you know, I'll. I'll definitely try to help, but. Yeah, they act like when they're, ooh, Stern shows canceled. No, it's not. It's just going to move and move off a platform that is. Is, you know, didn't really make the waves that they thought it would when it came out. They thought radio was freaking out when satellites showed up.

[Larry McFeely]

It's over.

[Wayne]

It's over. It was over. And the big move, that dumb radio executives who are still in charge of things, by the way, and every one of them should have been fired for this. Was XM forced terrestrial radio to invest millions and millions of dollars into hd? I mean, radio always complains. It's always known as a cheap business. Always complains it didn't have any money for anything. Suddenly forced to buy hd, everything. And then what you guys may or may not know is each radio station then became seven radio stations. There were seven KUPDs, seven KDKB's, which was like San Francisco exploded. There was seven. Seven of everything. Seven KTARS, seven mountains. And those idiots didn't think for a second, oh, there aren't enough people to do 7 radio. We have to program them. We have to put people on them to have them make any money. There aren't enough advertisers to buy seven radio stations. And so it just sat there on.

[Larry McFeely]

Top of having the proper Radio.

[Wayne]

Oh, yeah. And then. And then. Yeah. And that's a lot of cars would react up the hd, rely on everybody else to go out and buy a HD radio.

[Larry McFeely]

Yep.

[Wayne]

And that was in order to combat just the volume of stations on xm. So radio got into a dumb battle, surprise, surprise, with xm. And again, these are the very same people that are in charge of radio today are still in charge that made that choice. And that's when the whole thing should have gotten flamed out. Not one person stood up and said, this is the worst idea of all time.

[Larry McFeely]

FM on stereo, steroids from AM change.

[Wayne]

It was horribly stupid. And it. Whoever stood up and said it was dumb probably got fired by the people who are still here today. Who would do it again, by the way. They would do it again. They just. They don't get it. But yeah. So, I mean, Howard will go do a podcast if he wants to. It's not over. And then, you know, that's the glory. That's the curse and glory of today is that you can just start your own show. You don't have to have anybody hire you. You don't have to have anything. You just do it yourself. It's a laptop and a couple microphones, and it is basically neutered management of all media and entertainment. And you can see the benefits, right? You can see it. Yeah, I know. It's not such a bad plan, really. If I weren't so lazy, I'd have done it myself. I just don't want to pay your insurance. That's the big thing that scares. Then you start getting into that. Is that any fun, running a business out of your house where Brett and Brady have to come over every day? Ugh. And you guys aren't going to leave anytime soon. I'm going to listen to you afterwards.

[Larry McFeely]

Build another bathroom.

[Wayne]

Yeah, I got to build a whole new bathroom because Brady had used the toilet the wrong way. And then. Then you'd be buying toilets every couple days.

[Larry McFeely]

Expensive.

[Wayne]

Well, it's too much. Just let Hubbard piss me off the whole time and do it. Yeah, but I just. You know, Stern's show was, you know, it is what it was. I think to discount how brilliant and amazing that thing was for at least, what would you say, 30 years?

[John Holmberg]

He went over in 06 to XM, but I think he came around in, like, 82.

[Wayne]

No, he got national prominence in the early 80s, and then probably like 2011 or 12, you started to go. I'm not sure he's doing the same stuff. Interviews are still amazing. NBC blew it when they didn't make him the host of the Tonight Show. But evidently his. His show is going to be stopped. Actually, Cranston makes a great point. When your dick stops working, your anger gets directed at other things. Maybe that's it. Maybe when you stop slowing every down. Yeah. And you start having more estrogen than you do testosterone, you start becoming an emotional broad. And maybe that. Because that's kind of what he's become. It's like I haven't listened to him in a long time, but just clips and things. I'm like, this isn't the Howard Stern I knew when I was in college and excited for him when he came here in the mid-90s when Phoenix got it finally. I'm like, this is great. I worked at a radio station and listened. Then he wasn't there and I listened to him and it made the morning guys furious. And I'm like, you're not as good. It was Jim Sharp and Ted Simons. Ted Simons works for PBS now and Jim Sharp works at KTAR News. Do you think they were gonna be funny together? They weren't. Not even a little bit.

[Larry McFeely]

They did a couple of pies in the face on.

[Wayne]

Did they? I don't remember that. Well, that would have been their best day. And I liked both of them, if you don't count Ted. And you know. But they just weren't going to be. So I listened all the time. But yeah, it's a hundred million dollar contract XM's basically. So then what does XM do? Like they. They gotta. That's gonna be close to them. Just kind of like, I guess they just go with. I was in the NFL Network and MLB every once in a while on xm, but that's the only reason I have.

[Larry McFeely]

Which could be changing up maybe a little. I don't know.

[Wayne]

NFL Network just got bought by espn. Yeah. Everything kind of stinks. And everybody wants to blame Howard Stern's wife. That's true too.

[John Holmberg]

Well, she's been there since like 08 or something like that. So. I mean, she's been there a minute now.

[Wayne]

She's been there for a while. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

So you can't really blame her.

[Larry McFeely]

And how is the first time I'm sticking up abroad.

[Wayne]

But yeah, you can stick up for abroad sometimes. They're all right. Brett. I was gonna get Carri.

[Larry McFeely]

And doesn't he. Does he do it out of his house?

[Wayne]

Well, he. I don't know if he still did for a while. He wasn't leaving. Yeah, he wouldn't leave the Hampton, I just became kind of unrelatable around that time. But I. I like Springsteen.

[John Holmberg]

He's just like us.

[Wayne]

He's. Yeah, he was like us. He spoke for the common man. He was mad at. Like, he found celebrity to be the. The crazy part about it is, and I say this after I went to a therapist two days ago, because just to about this place for an hour and a half, that's essentially all I did. But it was. Yeah, he used to be the guy that said the things we thought about how silly being a celebrity was. Like, he mocked celebrity. And deep down, after he started to go to a therapist and like, got in his head, he realized that's really all he ever wanted to be was there. Like, he wanted acceptance from celebrities. It's weird. We're eulogizing him like he's dead, but it's a strange thing because you can hear that transition. When he started to. He used to make fun of all those people go on those talk shows, make fun of the talk show he was actually on. And you would love it because it was. Now he's like, oh, Jimmy Kimmel and I are.

[Larry McFeely]

Then he finally got into the crowd. He got it.

[Wayne]

Yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

And invited into the clubhouse.

[Wayne]

And once he was in, he changed. Like, he definitely did. Morning sickness.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, Byron. I was looking at MMP Guns.com's website. You have everything, and the prices are incredible.

[Byron]

Yes, sir. MMP Guns.com has over 400,000 products for sale daily. Everything from firearms, ammunition, accessories, optics, clothing, decoys, and more. The best part is, if you see it on our website, it's in stock and ready to ship.

[John Holmberg]

Wait, there's no backorders?

[Byron]

Nope. We work with all our distributors, so what you see on our site is what's actually available. We ship all over the country, so we're not just for Arizonans anymore. If the firearm you want is legal in your state, we can get it to a dealer for you to pick up.

[John Holmberg]

Sounds simple. That's why I always go to MMP guns.com it's John Holberg here from the morning sickness.

[Wayne]

And it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of my home group. And Doug hopkins.com I tell you about the house down the street from me that has had a for sale sign in the yard for three months now. In fact, it's the 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.

[Doug Hopkins]

[Wayne]

Morning Sickness I haven't heard anything from Stern show where people are like, you gotta hear this. This is hilarious. What I have read or seen or heard when people send me anything is some asinine, crazy political comment. And I don't know, I I you guys can Brett, I look at you because you're probably gonna be more apt to be in my future than Brady. No offense, Bravers. You're not gonna make it. The if I start doing that kind of stuff, even as friends, like John, you're doing that thing that uninteresting. All you talk about is politics. I watched two guys in a parking lot at my dentist's office. I didn't hear the whole conversation, but I walked by and two guys probably in their late 60s, and one was saying, you just can't gerrymander. It's wrong. And I'm like, how can you be fired up in 110 degree day outside about gerrymandering? How if it ever happens, hit me in the back of the head with a stick. Because if we're ever talking about gerrymandering, not getting paid for it, and standing in a parking lot upset about like, literally mad at your friends about Texas gerrymandering. Kill me. Just kill me right there on the spot. I'm no longer an interesting person at all. I am boring. But they've been gerrymandering. Did you hear yourself? I have. The last time I heard that word and cared about it was on a test in eighth grade. And I'm like, that's a funny word, gerrymandering. Okay, I'm never gonna have to deal with this in my life. Sure are. And I'm gonna get emails for him.

[Doug Hopkins]

You know how important it is.

[Wayne]

We don't. These poets. I'm like, stop. You can't be this mad at gerrymandering. Live your life if you know they'll figure it out. They're gonna. They're gonna find ways around your ass.

[Larry McFeely]

I think a little bit of the change of perception of things that would bother you at a certain age as you get older.

[Wayne]

Yeah.

[Larry McFeely]

You learn to almost deal with it like one. As you get older, you feel like I don't have the say anymore.

[Wayne]

I don't think you have ever had that. I think you've always been. It's a good thing. I think you've always been a person that's like, I'm not going to let that bother me. Even things that probably should.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, even if I'm telling you, like saying when you ask Brett, go, Brett, if I ever do this, do this. A lot of times your the reaction to the friend of saying, hey, you're. What are you doing?

[Wayne]

Oh, no, I'm not saying verbally. I told him to hit me in the back of the head with a two by four end me.

[Larry McFeely]

But I'm saying because I'm on the verbal side of it. Yeah, usually you'll get snapped at back because that's a reaction from all of.

[Wayne]

Us because you've lost your mind. And that's when Brett has to come in and hit you with a two by four. Because if you're gonna fight somebody, that's. That's basically giving the best advice anyone can give you, which is, oh my God, you're dull. Now. That's the worst thing you can say to a human being. In my opinion. If you're dull, that's the worst thing you can possibly be as a person. So if Brent leans over and gives me. Because Brett's very good at my. He's my. He's my bullpen guy. He's my pitching coach. So if I'm in a situation where something I look and I'm like, I'm with a dull one. Brett usually gives me the sign. I give him a little let's go to the pen. He comes over and saves me. If I'm ever doing it. Lean over and go. We're hitting that dull button pretty hard right now, boss. I think, well, maybe. Maybe we should take that two by four out of the car just in case. I'm like, am I doing it? Am I being okay? That's the worst insult you can give me. I'm ugly. I know that. That's easy. Big nose. Yeah, sure. Okay too. I'M not, but okay, hit me with it. You call. You said, man, you dull. That stings. Being dull is.

[Larry McFeely]

It's a fear.

[Wayne]

Oh, it's not even a fear. It's like. It's a. It's a terrifying horror movie of. It's not just little. Because I see dull people and I'm like, God, how did you do it? Like, it's just. It's dull. Like, have an interesting. It doesn't necessarily have to be constantly entertaining. It's not tapp. But don't be dull. Don't be an energy vampire.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, got enough of those.

[Wayne]

There's plenty of those living in the world. Gerrymandering as a topic absolutely is dull. Even if you find a person who is interested in it, you're both being dull. You both need Brett's two by four. Cinco dewapo. It's coming your way. One of these days, we'll hit you in the dull head. But you gotta think that Howard Stern's career, if it's going to end this way, if this is the last of it at the end of the year, is going to be judged off the last 10 years because we don't have that. Rather than what he actually really did do.

[Larry McFeely]

I think he'll probably end up doing like similar Seinfeld or what Letterman's doing interviews every now and then.

[Wayne]

He should. He should have been the host of the Tonight Show. He should have absolutely changed the game of late night television. But he would have gotten political too. I'm with Cranston. Cranston, you're on to something. His dick stopped working probably at a certain age the way he wanted it to. And he just, he got angry and he started getting mad at the tv, started yelling at tv.

[John Holmberg]

That seems like, you know, people go to like, Stern show or whatever to unplug from the political thing. Of course we make fun of it here and there, but, like, we don't, you know, just, just. We don't dig our heels in on anything.

[Wayne]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And seem to, you know, opinions are bad for business as far as that. They can be because one side's gonna hate you.

[Wayne]

Yeah. And I don't mind that.

[Larry McFeely]

But everyone has one.

[Wayne]

Yeah. I look. Strong opinions. Strong, interesting opinions.

[John Holmberg]

Yes.

[Wayne]

But. But politically bashing someone else for not thinking the same way. And I'll bash it for not if you're a dick about it. Like that one dude that emailed over and said I was a white hating f tard. I'm like, that's not the way to start a conversation. You can go after individuals can definitely go off. I mean, that's a thing. But I'm not going to take a whole group of people and say, I did this, and if you don't like it, leave, and it's just my vote. That's it. And there's no possible way you can agree with every single thing a politician says. If you. If you do, you're. You're dumber than anybody you're mad at. I voted for this guy, and that means nothing he does can be questioned, and nothing he does can be wrong. And if you question it, I don't want you in my life. I have to live in an insulated bubble. I mean, this is the truth. I don't think without Stern, the LGBTQ community exists the way it does today. They thought he bashed him the whole time. He brought that whole community to light by making lesbians okay and joking around with gays as much as he did. And, like, just. And then slowly but surely it became part of his show and it was, like, as acceptable comedy. Kind of let it into that guy's fun, and then look at what's going on. If it wasn't for Stern and kind of Jerry Springer, half of Bravo network isn't there. All the stuff that we tolerate, it wouldn't have happened as quick. I think he. He made their movement go faster through just spotlighting it, even if it wasn't in the most positive way all the time. I think that dude, the gay community owes him a ton because he was like, I'll put you on the air. No one else would. Everyone was just afraid of it. He'd put him on there, and whether he made fun of it or not, he did stuff no one else did when it came to that. So there's a lot of things you look back on and you're like, man, that dude. For all it was, for all that was crazy at the time about it, he helped advance a lot more things in different ways. Rather than just bark and yell. He made it fun. He made it fun to have two gay guys on your, you know, party. And then he would, you know, tease him and stuff about things we weren't on, and he'd ask questions nobody else had asked. And then that just ended. And then it all became about, you know what? I just. I can't believe anybody's listening to this. That doesn't vote the same way I do. I just can't. Look, Beth and I had a talk last night. We had 52 cats on the bed, and I thought you know, this is the way it's supposed to be. In other words, if you voted against anything I believe in, you're out. Where's the fun of that?

[Larry McFeely]

Went all in on that last election for sure.

[Wayne]

Yeah. Robert Gregg says, think about Howard Stern. He did it all. He was great. Interviews are awesome. But then he never thought he was going to get old, and he started flipping the narrative against everything that made him great. Yeah, that's the weird thing. It feels like. It feels like today's Howard would fight yesterday's Howard. Like, he'd be standing outside with picket signs and Will.

[John Holmberg]

Will says Stern used whores and sluts to get popular. As soon as that stopped, we stopped watching.

[Wayne]

Kind of. Yeah. Maybe it's sort of like male menopause. Your dick stops working, you start getting mad at gerrymandering. God, I don't look forward to that at all.

[Larry McFeely]

You got to focus your attention to something else.

[Wayne]

Or you just don't. Your body just goes, yeah, this sucks. You know what they shouldn't be doing? Drawing new lines in districts in Texas while I stand here in Scottsdale at the dentist's office in a parking lot, 111 year degrees, and yell at my buddy. I just don't. I don't know how that conversation goes from dentist office to parking lot, where it's like, all right, that's it. We're in a fight over gerrymandering. Like, stop it. Go have some pizza, have a beer, talk about sports the way it used to be, smile, shake hands, and leave. Gerrymandering is not a fun conversation at all for anyone ever.

[Larry McFeely]

But then you hear about stuff like the Villages and these senior communities that are.

[Wayne]

And all they're doing is boning. Yeah, well, they invented pills for them. But you still good on that?

[Larry McFeely]

You think that would change?

[Wayne]

Yeah, but it's. You know, it's the version of that. Your dick still doesn't work. You know? It's still not what it was, and it's not giving you the guidance it used to. It's like having your therapist die. It's like, where'd you go, buddy used to always be around? I'm tired. Oh. Maybe if you give me a little cocaine and you give him a dick cocaine, a Viagra, and he comes to Life for, like, 25 minutes, and then he dies again. It's like having a Teddy Ruxpin. It's almost like having to put batteries in your penis. Ah, the batteries are dead. All right, I'll be right back. And you put batteries in. It works. For a little bit more prepping. Invol.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I'll throw an energizer in. I'm in.

[Wayne]

Yeah. And it's kind of. Oh, wow. Oh, look, while it's still working, I highly recommend it. Just whacking off is great with the pill. However, deep down when you know it's broken, your whole life is no good. It's. It's just Brady's. God's way of saying it's time to go. If you gotta put batteries in every time you use the remote, you. You'd probably start reading sickness medic.

E l-p.com Holmberg Since 1983, Nissan has been assembling award winning vehicles for you right here in America. And this summer, we're committed to keeping our Lineup affordable and free from new tariffs. That's why we've lowered MSRP on our best selling Rogue and Pathfinder.

[Wayne]

So you can get the car you.

[John Holmberg]

Want at the price you want. Knowing Nissan is here for you.

[Wayne]

For.

[Brady]

A limited time until supplies last assembled with us and imported parts.

[Wayne]

Holg's morning sickness.

[Larry McFeely]

It's time to really focus on issues.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, reading.

[Wayne]

I'm not going to read it. Yeah, it's time to start reading things and focusing on gerrymandering and things like that. But if you had to think about it, if you had to put batteries in the remote every day you wanted to watch tv, you'd be like, I'm not doing this every time. And you get up and you do stuff around the house and you get mad that things you used to do, you can't do anymore. Cranston's onto something. That's a powerful statement, Cranston. Well done. But I don't know, you know, they act like. They act like xm. So Howard's worried about it. Uh, he'll be if he wants to keep going. I don't think it'll have the impact that it would 15 years ago if XM decided not to pay him. If Howard had a podcast 15 years ago, it would have been. It would have been Rogan.

[John Holmberg]

Like, wasn't he a hundred million?

[Wayne]

100 million. That's the new contract's number. And he had stock in XM. And I mean, he, he bamboozled XM back in 2005 when they gave him all the stock options. And once his show started, it like exploded for a minute. And he sold all of his stuff. Sold it right away. I mean, they didn't count on him to do that. And he made like $187 million in a day. That's pretty good move.

[John Holmberg]

Says his current contract is 100 million per year.

[Wayne]

Yeah, but that's not bad.

[John Holmberg]

Nice change.

[Wayne]

That's getting it done. And, you know, I, you know, look, I'm 71 years old. I don't have to keep Breadle Juice and Red Robin around anymore. Bubba Bastard can go find a job, I don't know, at Taco Bell. Like, do what you do. It's interesting, though. So congratulations to a great career. Except for the last eight or nine years.

[John Holmberg]

Are they losing subscribers? I haven't looked at their numbers or anything.

[Wayne]

I mean, is it after the. Evidently. And I don't know how true it is. After he said the thing about if he voted for Trump leave. I don't want you to listen Anymore. There was a massive fall off. Oh, wow. According to an Internet thing I read, actually just even this morning after. It's like after he started to say, just go away if you don't agree with me 100%. Which is exactly the opposite of what he used to be. And people did. Because that's, that's, that's a dividing line. That's that political dividing line.

[Larry McFeely]

And the struggle with it as far as xm is if it wasn't for new car sales.

[Wayne]

Oh yeah. Which gives you that they added in six months or a year and then automatically renew.

[Larry McFeely]

The re upping is not.

[Wayne]

Yeah, well, excellent.

[Larry McFeely]

That's, that's the battle.

[Wayne]

XM is a bunch of bad radio executives that got hired there. Everybody who failed in radio ended up doing xm. It was no, like superstars of radio going, I'm, I'm jumping ship. It was a bunch of dudes who couldn't, like, didn't get gigs here anymore. And some of them were okay and some of them weren't, but.

[Larry McFeely]

And the original thing was, hey, we're going deeper in music.

[Wayne]

No commercials.

[Larry McFeely]

No commercials.

[Wayne]

And now they have to do all of it anyway. They don't do it like radio does. But still. Anyway, what are you gonna do? This guy says you did take on a group of people, the WNBA and all soccer fans and Ravens fans. Yeah, but my way's right. See, that's the difference. That's. Howard was way too big a brush. I'm pinpointing the people I hate. I know for a fact, and that's my flaw, that if you're a Ravens fan, we probably can't be friends. You're like a summer home. If you're a Ravens fan, I can tolerate you from like April till mid August. And then we start seeing football come back and I see you in that ugly ass purple uniform with that dumb buzzard on it that's poorly drawn Hanna Barbera. I can't be friends with you and you probably feel the same about me, so let's just say what it is beforehand. It's like a bumble date or a coffee date and you sit down and you're like, so what do you do? I love the Ravens and children. Like, this isn't going to work. Like, you know, immediately talk to you in March. No. Probably never going to see you again. I don't even want to deal with it. God forbid your team wins a Super Bowl. I, I, I, I kill myself. So I know that if you come, if, if I look, if you go on a Date Toledo. I always think of him with those coffee dates, those five minute dates. Most brilliant idea of all time. You sit down, you just get the first couple things out of the way. So what'd you do last night? We went over to the Mercury in Connecticut. Sun game check. We're done.

[Larry McFeely]

That's great.

[Wayne]

Why? Why can't I? I. We're just not. It's not gonna work out, hun. Cause I'm gonna immediately start saying things that you are gonna hate. Are you a huge WNBA fan? I think it's the most talent you'll ever see in a basketball court. Oh my God. I gotta go. This isn't gonna work. And you know right away, soccer fans, if somebody. If I met a guy who's like, I'm the biggest. All I like to do is think about soccer and talk. If you watch Wrexham and like Wrexham's entertaining. If it wasn't for soccer. I watched Ted Lasso. Other than the soccer parts, it was fun. I love soccer. We can't be friends. You've got different interests.

[Larry McFeely]

So that's what that scarf is.

[Wayne]

Why are you wearing a scarf? It's July. Cause the Rising are playing. Yeah, but you don't have to dress like you're in Tottenham. Put on a T shirt and shorts like the rest of us and make your own traditions. This is my beef with the wnba. They keep trying to do things. The NBA does. Have your own world. When I see those guys at rising games, it's 114 and they're in scarves. It's hilarious. Morons. Okay, so in my own stern way, if you like the WNBA a lot, or soccer or the Ravens. Yeah, go ahead and. Go ahead and get the off my radio program. You don't belong here.

[John Holmberg]

I guess we're not gonna lose anybody now.

[Wayne]

You're gonna. No, we're gonna lose nobody. Because I'm picking on things that don't have popular or. It's not like I'm saying, hey, everybody who loved American Idol. No, it's. If you listen to Joe Rogan, don't listen to this show. I hate you. Like that's just. That's way too broad a brush to make. You're gonna lose a lot of people. My enemies are everyone's enemies. I make enemies with things that are already known to be really, really products. The wnba, soccer and Ravens. I'm not losing any fans. If I do good, those two Ravens guys can go blow each other at Papago park with their priest. I don't know what you do when you're a Ravens fan, I assume. I don't know sex with people who don't want it with you. That's what I would assume. I'm gonna say it's rape, but I'm gonna say the person under you isn't happy. You're a gross Ravens fan. Browns fans. You're right behind it. But I find you amusing. I think you're funny because you guys are just clueless. At least Ravens fans support something that. That has a chance. Browns fan. And you're proud of it kind of life are you living? This is terrifying. Yeah, yeah. You're a Browns fan. Your friendship with anyone who isn't a Browns fan is basically a pity. You're. You're kind of a.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, they're special.

[Wayne]

You're. Yeah, you're. You're mentally challenged. We feel sorry for you, so we're friends with you.

[Larry McFeely]

That's how they bond.

[Wayne]

Well, Browns fans can bond all they want, but I'm saying how Browns fans have friends who aren't Browns fans. We just think of you as Caleb from Shriners. Like, it's like, oh, don't be mean to him. He's going through enough. And they did it. They browned again this week. I don't know if you saw that. They browned again and signed Tyler Huntley. They've got five quarterbacks. Six. Because Deshaun is still on the roster and none of them are good. They got six quarterbacks and Joe Flacco is still going to start. That's. Look, how can you be mean to a Browns fan? He's got to live with that.

[Larry McFeely]

I thought they announced that. Kirby told me, hey, shoulders starting. And like.

[Wayne]

Well, because everybody else is hurt. No, because Flacco isn't going to start. Kenny Pickett's hurt. Dylan Gabriel has been called the worst quarterback in the history of camps. Like, they're saying he's not ready for the pros in any way, shape or form. Him. And then desean's on the. On the beach. Cause he's, you know, his legs hurt still. Certainly we're not. Got another guy. Like, let's try someone else. Like, didn't you draft two quarterbacks? Yeah, we struck out on both of those and we know it already. Like, oh, my God. So you can't be mean to Browns fans. You've got a safe place here. I'm going to tease you, but you're used to that. Browns fan is a guy who's impotent in his teens. Like, he has to use Viagra in his 20s. And it's still not good. He's still stuffing. Yeah. You can alienate certain groups, like disgusting, criminal Ravens fans. And every sport, like, you have yours. Like, you look at packers fans, but you understand they support the Packers. It's like, yeah. Pretty good. Yeah. I mean, you're the one. And that's the one every morning. Yeah. You're the one in that division that people like. Why do this to yourself?

[John Holmberg]

I know.

[Wayne]

They haven't been. They were good once, and I did.

[John Holmberg]

The super bowl shuffle.

[Wayne]

Yeah. Prior to that, they were good in the the 50s. Track record's not great. Nope. And you get hopeful.

[John Holmberg]

Love of being a Chicago fan.

[Wayne]

You got one. Brady's a bungle.

[John Holmberg]

Yes, you're right. Yeah.

[Wayne]

Yeah. And right now, it's hard to tell. People being a Bungles fan is stupid, but it is. I mean, anybody who supports that. I mean, anybody who supports that uniform by itself is nuts. The gear that they sell you is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. You look like a Spirit Halloween store every day. Hilarious. There's a lot of people who are wrong, but they're tolerable. Ravens fans, WNBA Fervent supporters. They can off. Stern was right about that. If you like that stuff, don't listen. I don't want you here. It's disgusting. Get out of here. Am I right, Red Robin?

[Larry McFeely]

Yum.

[Wayne]

Am I right? Pretty bummer. Bastard. Nah, he's not here. He's looking for his dad anyway. And of course to all my horrible friends who got up early to do this to remind me that's the 80th anniversary of when we first knocked Japan down with a bomb. I had like seven or eight. I woke up to them like, these dudes waited for midnight last night to hit me with Happy anniversary. Sleep numbers. Morning sickness medicate. Kupd.

I'm sorry, but no. But you can't split the banana split.

[Wayne]

Not even a little.

[Larry McFeely]

Not even a crumb.

[Wayne]

What if.

[Larry McFeely]

No, please.

[Wayne]

My. When it's too legit to split. That's cravinience. Get a 3 pack for 99 cents with our app ampm. Too much good stuff plus tax where applicable. Prices and participation may vary. Terms of conditions apply. Holmberg's morning sickness, which in a weird way, we should celebrate as Americans. The nukes that we threw in Japan, when we gave them a little sunshine, it calmed the world down immediately. Now watch a couple of documentaries and you watch some things and realize we didn't have to do it. It was more just kind of like a, this war is going to end. But watch this Russia. See what we made. And then to scare other countries into thinking, oh, man, they got good.

[Larry McFeely]

Steps it up to the next level.

[Wayne]

Yeah, we did it. And we didn't. We certainly didn't have to do two of them, especially because when you. I didn't realize, like, on August 8th, we did it again to Nagasaki. And it wasn't the original target. It was too cloudy to bomb the original target. So they just went, there's a city over there. Just throw it at that.

[John Holmberg]

Close enough.

[Wayne]

There's Japs down there. There. Pretty sure that's still Japan, right? Oh, yes, sir. All right. Throw it at that.

[Larry McFeely]

And. And to learn a little bit after that, like on the documentaries or whatever, they talk about, like, we don't need to do this.

[Wayne]

Yeah. Oh, no.

[Larry McFeely]

There's a lot of people are like, hey, that was good. That was good.

[Wayne]

But Russia was marching all the way over China. They're Coming in. We'll help you out with Japan. And they're walking over there. Won't be there in a minute. We're gonna get there before we're done. Let's close the door on this thing. Give us another day or two. We'll be there. All right. It's August 3rd, and, like, almost there. They stopped off for some Chinese, and they did. And then we're like, we got this. Don't worry about it. And then from a distance, they see some sunshine fall on Japan, and Russia's like, damn it, they got one. Well, we're still coming. We'll take care of the south end of Japan. All right. Get that singer one. Throw it at him, too.

[Larry McFeely]

80 years ago, and we've had, you know, 79 years of threats after that.

[Wayne]

Yeah, well, I mean, pretty. Pretty memorable.

[Larry McFeely]

Pretty close.

[Wayne]

Pretty memorable. Tick to go. Remember that. We still got them. So it's a good threat. It's a good threat also. Happy 80th anniversary to America. All these people that are screaming America, America. All the time. You should be celebrating those bombs. So what? The human cost. It's something we should throw our hands in the air and say, we won. We do it for, like, the Civil War, the Revolution. Those were equally as bloody and nasty.

[Larry McFeely]

It's also the 135th anniversary of the electric chair on this day.

[Wayne]

The first time they used it 135 years ago. It's been a long time, but I watched a thing online about how they tested that, and they would strap dead animals to it. And then they tried a cow, and it did not go well. It was a good barbecue. The cow didn't know what was happening. And they had at him, and they kind of, like, had him standing there being a cow and stuff, and they just put that thing on his head and strapped him up and turned it on. And that thing just goes. It didn't. It was. They didn't have video, but it was just screaming and yelling.

[John Holmberg]

Percy didn't wet the sponge or anything.

[Wayne]

Roll on one. And the cows looking around like, what I do. I didn't murder anybody. Why is this happening? Just to see how fast they could kill something huge? Because they figured at the time, if we can knock a cow down down with this thing.

[Larry McFeely]

Didn't they do it? Heartbeat Tesla or whatever was an elephant.

[Wayne]

Did they do an elephant Tesla invent the electric chair?

[Larry McFeely]

No, they're zapping, running the electricity sale.

[Wayne]

Oh, they used to test. Yeah. It's disgusting. Everything they did, they try to blow up.

[Larry McFeely]

So it was rolled on A guy named William Kemmler. He was an ax murderer. Killed his girlfriend with an ax.

[Wayne]

There you go.

[Larry McFeely]

Auburn, New York. And they botched it, kind of. They had to do. They had to zap them twice.

[Wayne]

And back then, they didn't care, you know, they were just mad at that guy enough to do it. And botching it meant that dude just sat there and sizzled while they, you.

[Larry McFeely]

Know, did they know to bag the head?

[Wayne]

Yeah, they probably had a learning curve there. Yeah. Because.

[Larry McFeely]

I don't know, because you always hear that eyeballs.

[Wayne]

Eyeballs leak out. Yeah, it doesn't. Like your whole. It cooks. Your eyeballs go. And they gush out. That's why they put those patches over their eyes now and then back it. Oh, man. Anyway, yeah, it's kind of gross, but, yeah, they. They tested back in the day. They used to test, you know, find the closest animal and test it. They did all that stuff. They're disgusting. Our forefathers or grandparents were miserable pricks.

[John Holmberg]

It's invented by a dentist.

[Wayne]

Wow. Well, they were sadists back then. Dennis were. What the hell was he trying to invent, is the question. I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

I'm just reading up on it now.

[Wayne]

He took that cut colander out of his kitchen and strapped it up to the TV and just started to blow everybody up anyway. Human humanity, it's a quality thing. Guy said, John, I can't believe you did that. This morning. WNBA, Phoenix Rising, the Ravens. You're gonna lose at least 47 listeners this station. Cancer. But you might be right. You might be right. You don't wanna. You don't wanna lose those Ravens fans. I assume there's no Ravens fans listening anyway, because we speak in. Well, other than Brady, we speak in complete sentences and we. You know, maybe Ravens fans are like, brady, right? Me, like. And a lot of times I don't.

[Larry McFeely]

That's why we keep them.

[Wayne]

I also don't know that they have a radio in the child predator wing of jail, so there aren't any Ravens fans probably listening anyway. Unless they've got one there.

[Larry McFeely]

Some family radio.

[Wayne]

Because all Ravens. All Ravens fans are child predators because that's why they have that weird Hanna Barbera cartoon to lure in the Chillin's cartoon helmet. And then their spokesperson, Lamar Jackson. I just want big trust. I have Ms. And beyonds and going to the family. No one can understand you, Lamar. No one knows what you're saying. Boy, I hate those Ravens. Hate them. Hate them. Tell people that if they like the Ravens, they can and leave. Yeah, he's right. Howard's right. If you're a Ravens fan, go listen to Beth. No, she's too manly for you.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah.

[Wayne]

Yeah. When the best PR your city's ever had are the Ravens and the Wire, your city sucks the wire. And there's a documentary called Sinners. Really spotlights Baltimore being an awesome place. Baltimore sucks. End of story. Smells like brackish water and crab meat. And that's just the women. I go on, Somebody just asked, what's the worst of the three? Wnba, soccer or the Ravens? There's no question it's the Ravens. It's disgusting. Close second is soccer, and WNBA is the third worst in that group. So there's a step in the right direction there. Wnba, by the way. Wnba third dildo. One hit Sophie last night during the Sparks Fever game in Los Angeles. Hit her in the leg. And to their credit, they laughed it off. Sophie was giggling, had the time of her life. Got the dildo off the court, never mentioned it again. So she was laughing. She was having a time. Yeah, it was great fun. Get banged in the leg by a dildo. And the announcers were like, oh, no. They're gonna have to deal with it. And I'm sure they've had meetings, like, if a dildo flies at the girls, don't bring it up. And cameramen, no close ups. Everybody knows what it is when it flies. Now we know. So they got hit again and again. I go back to it. If you're gonna do that, throw it away from the girls side of the court. They're not using. You have plenty of opportunities during a game to hit the half that they're not on. And make sure you can get it there, because if you hit someone in the crowd, that's just mean. They didn't deserve. And again, happy anniversary to all the weirdos out there who are. And I'm one of them. I think that one of the best things America did was drop those bombs. Awesome.

[John Holmberg]

I said ravens fans aren't that bad. Yeah, they are compared to others.

[Wayne]

Well, who's his says, I'll tolerate a Ravens fan. Have you met a 49ers fan? Well, that's the West Coast Ravens. Yeah, I'm with you on that. Although at least they're pretty. Oh, they're the worst. They're either gay or Mexican. Well, I don't know if that has anything to do. Come on.

[Larry McFeely]

Travis makes a great point there.

[Wayne]

And then he said, what's a. Well, here's where we're dealing with the intelligence. His next Sentence is, what's a more worse combo than that? Your sentence structure is a more worse combo. Go Hawks. He's a Seahawks. Oh, he's one of Toledo's boys. He's one of them lib cucks up there from Seattle, can't get enough T Mobile and Microsoft in his life. What's more worser than that? That. That sentence. Mexican gays. Jesus Christ. You hit the pinata and a bunch of hit you in the face. Yuck.

[Larry McFeely]

I just want to throw a fish at him.

[Wayne]

He's going to huck giant salmon in their direction. Idiots. Yeah, don't fire off how dumb another group's fan base is with the phrase, what's more worse than that? I'm not perfect with that, but I like those sentences. Crush me. That's hilarious. Gay and Mexican. You can't be mad at Niners fans for being gay and Mexican. You just have to. Well, I guess you can because it's hard to argue. You go to the Cardinals Niners game and it's a lot of Mexicans. They're not the gay ones. You go in San Francisco and it is just super duper gay. And because it's San Francisco, it's assumed when you meet a gay person, if they do like football, they're gonna like the number Niners. That's just. That's the first thing you think they're going to say. Like, when Michael and Troy told me they were Broncos fans, well, Michael did. Troy just goes, yay, sports ball. But Michael, Michael, Michael has them all dressed up in Broncos gear. And they came over when the Steelers played the Broncos, and Troy had orange shorts on and a blue shirt with orange dots on, a collared shirt like he was going golfing. But it was color appropriate to Broncos. And Michael had a Broncos, like it was a nice shirt and a pair of slacks. And then they said, hey, we've got some friends coming by. Do you mind if they come over? I'm like, no. And I remember Skip Katera, who's an 80 year old heterosexual white, and the place when the gays showed up, there were like eight of them and they were dressed to the nines in this football thing. Like they had trouble walking on my tile floors because their shoes were so slippery. They were Spartacus from Birdcage. Skip looks at me and he goes, what the is this place turning into? And I'm like, it's just one game. It's just this one. He goes, jesus Christ. And then Skip goes, they smell delicious. Like they do. They're an amazing smelling group Skip loved it. Flitting around in the backyard, watching the dogs play. No interest in the game at all. Sports ball. And we won.

Home run.

[Wayne]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Wait a minute.

[Wayne]

What then? God knows what happened when they went across the street and stripped off all that velvet it. Because a lot of them were wearing it.

[Larry McFeely]

A lot of other smells.

[Wayne]

Oh, there was some smell. Look, they masked it at first. Everything smelled good at first. I'm sure it blended with something that I would have not necessarily liked as much. Let's get a wake up song. 585-9800. A good one. We'll scream it together. It's 98 KUP. Wake up. It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fees. I have heard enough of this. So you PD.
