1. Introduction and Upcoming Celebrations

John Holmberg kicks off the episode with a warm welcome, reflecting on recent events and upcoming celebrations:

• Brett Vesely's Birthday: John mentions Brett's recent birthday and the plans for a belated celebration.

  “Belated birthday for me. And Toledo will be there as well. Big celebration tomorrow night.” (01:46)

• Rooster’s Venue Change: Due to a last-minute change with their usual venue, the celebration is moved to Rooster's, supporting the Humane Society.

  “We were going to do it at our normal spot down there at Copper Blues downtown, but ... Rooster stepped up immediately. Like, we'll do it.” (02:10)

2. Brady’s Kidney Health Update

A significant portion of the episode centers around Brady Bogen's kidney health:

• Diagnosis and Surgery: Brady shares that he has a tumor on his kidney, necessitating its removal in late August. John emphasizes the seriousness of Brady's condition.

  “Brady, you're going through a health thing. Uh, we're all pretty positive about it ... a tumor on your kidney.” (06:57)

• Diet and Recovery: John advises Brady on the importance of maintaining a healthy diet post-surgery, comparing it to his own experience with a kidney transplant eight years prior.

  “Your diet is everything. ... What you eat and put inside you is all your body gets.” (07:15)

• Listener Support: The hosts read and discuss supportive emails from listeners, highlighting the community's positive response and well-wishes for Brady.

  “A lot of people who who said nice things about you ... well, of course, they're sending prayers.” (11:19)

3. Listener Emails: The Ryan/Brian Name Mix-Up

The episode features a humorous and insightful discussion about a listener named Ryan, who has been mistakenly called Brian for seven months:

• The Mix-Up: Ryan, who goes by Brian at work, shares his experience of colleagues addressing him incorrectly and the eventual resolution when a coworker addressed the issue.

  “He said, 'Isn't it awful? ... everyone there has been calling me by the wrong name.'” (14:26)

• John’s Take: John humorously critiques Ryan's passive approach to correcting his name and encourages more assertiveness.

  “He has to pick a fight with somebody at work today. I mean, like just from behind a punch to the back of the head to the closest woman.” (22:06)

• Brady’s Commentary: Brady echoes John’s sentiments, urging Ryan to stand up for himself rather than relying on others to fix his problems.

  “What's wrong with him? Oh, worse.” (20:02)

4. Signs Your Company Isn't Thriving

Transitioning from personal anecdotes to broader workplace observations, John introduces a discussion on indicators that a company may be struggling:

• List of Five Signs:

  1. Round of Firings: Eliminating low-level positions without alarming higher-ups.

     “A round of firings. Eliminating low level positions ...” (23:59)

  2. Job Consolidation: Merging roles without additional pay or clear purpose.

     “Job consolidation. Combining eliminated positions into current ...” (24:00)

  3. Elimination of Small Perks: Removing amenities like quality coffee cups, forcing employees to bring their own.

     “Elimination of small perks. Coffee cups and utensils.” (24:07)

  4. Neglected Building Maintenance: Ignoring necessary repairs, leading to deteriorating office conditions.

     “Building repairs are temporarily handled or completely ignored.” (24:50)

  5. Misleading Reassurances: Sending unsolicited emails that falsely reassure employees about the company's stability.

     “Unsolicited emails reminding everyone that everything is okay.” (26:21)

• Relating to Their Own Workplace: The hosts reflect on their radio station's own challenges, drawing parallels with the listed signs.

  “It's brown. Big dead tree. ... You have to carry your own coffee cup like it's 1920.” (42:10)

5. Workplace Anecdotes and Banter

The conversation continues with light-hearted yet insightful banter about past and present workplace experiences:

• Old Boss’s Cost-Cutting Measures: Recalling their previous employer's stinginess, particularly regarding office supplies and maintenance.

  “Chuck was terrible about the envelopes. ... He had a foot on your throat a little.” (33:23)

• Office Building Deterioration: Discussing visible signs of a company's decline, such as dead plants and malfunctioning facilities.

  “We have these stand up walkway lights along the sidewalk. ... It's a great spot.” (36:36)

• Community and Support: Emphasizing the importance of supporting one another in the face of workplace instability.

  “If you're a good investor, you won't do it. But if you're just a person with a lot of money and want to help us out, will you buy KESLX and KDKP so KUPD can have it all instead of share it with these losers?” (43:45)

6. Conclusion and Final Thoughts

As the episode winds down, the hosts reiterate their resilience and commitment to their listeners despite the challenges discussed:

• Support for Brady: Continued encouragement and positive vibes for Brady's recovery journey.

  “Best help. ... healing fast so you guys can get back to saving lives.” (17:57)

• Encouragement to Listeners: Urging listeners to recognize the signs of a failing company and take proactive steps, whether in supporting the radio station or their personal workplaces.

  “If your company is the owner of their own property ... it's a glaring spotlight light on the end days.” (25:18)

[John Holmberg]

The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Friday. It's 5:45. My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett, there's Big Dick Toledo. This is the morning sickness and we're ready to go for the day after Brett's beautiful birthday. Yeah, day before Brett's beautiful birthday celebration. Brady's Kidneys last stand. The last show for Brady's kidney tomorrow. Belated birthday for me. And Toledo will be there as well. Big celebration tomorrow night. Roosters nine o'clock 20 bucks getting in. And that's going to the Humane Society. So that's a good thing. And that's Rooster's idea. So we got to thank people over there at Roosters for doing this. We were going to do it at our normal spot down there at Copper Blues downtown, but I got a call from. From Matt, who owns the place. A long time goes, yeah, we're not gonna be able to do your birthday show unless you can switch nights. Like, why? And so we got a corporate. A company wants to give us 60 grand for them. Like, enough said. Yeah, take it. Take the 60 grand up front and then have them drink inside. Yeah, that's. So they're renting the place out. So the Rooster stepped up immediately. Like, we'll do it. I'm like, awesome. That bar is fun. Anyway, so very cool. And we'll see you guys tomorrow at 9 o'. Clock. That's how that goes. You do anything good for your birthday?

[Brett Vesely]

Brett went out and did some. Had some cocktails last night and did some bad karaoke.

[John Holmberg]

What'd you do? What's your go to?

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, I did my 2 Live crew.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, because you're on the album. Yeah. I mean, why wouldn't. Yeah. Nothing better than Thursday Night 2 Live crew to an unsuspecting group. Yeah, that's pretty awesome. Which one?

[Brett Vesely]

Me so horny.

[John Holmberg]

All right, Brad. It's my go to. Well, when we did that for a couple years ago for Halloween, I think you went up and just knocked me so horny out of the yard. We couldn't believe how good Brett was at that. So there you go. That's a good happy birthday. That's just a fun, dopey Thursday. We'll make it up to you.

[Brady]

It's a good one to know.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we'll make it up to you tomorrow. That's a. That's a good one. I don't know if you guys. You didn't watch any football last night.

[Brett Vesely]

No, I. Yeah, I saw some injuries already.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, did you see that finger?

[Brett Vesely]

I did see that.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Anthony Richardson's fingers doing stuff human. It should have just fallen off. Like, it's pointing. It's like out and down. It's gross. Like, without tearing. No. Like, you'd think the skin would just rip open. Is. It's the weirdest gross. It's. It's a good one to start the season that, in fact, they digitally blurred out, like, Japanese porn.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, man.

[John Holmberg]

On websites. And they're like, let's. If you want to see this. Trust me, you need two clicks to get to it. We're not just going to put it on the front page. It's screwed up.

[Brady]

How was his reaction?

[John Holmberg]

Nothing too bad. Yeah, it's like, ah. Like this is a thing and. But I didn't see it happen. I saw the. The replay and then they didn't show it again. You know, it was a Raven, so I couldn't sit through much of it. But, you know, the Colts have had a quarterback controversy going in between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson. Well, that's over. Daniel Jones gets the job. Thank you, Raven. That dude's finger was. There's nothing better than Brian Baldinger on the NFL Network because he years ago blew his finger up and didn't get it fixed. And you watch him hold a microphone and his pinky finger is. Is a complete. It's a T square. It's a. It's. I don't know what direction that thing's going. It's a. One of those levels that the. The 90 degree deals. Yeah. It's just so strange. It's always. There's no. It's gross. And he always kind of holds it up to show people, like, that's my finger. It's. Anthony's gonna have that issue. But that was gross. And we're that much closer having football back. Dude's fingers pointing the wrong way. Bo off the field. Put the next guy in. Next man up. One man's misfortune is another man's opportunity. So that's what we're going to look at for the Colts. And I don't really just call the Browns.

[Brett Vesely]

They got enough quarterbacks.

[John Holmberg]

Browns have you? Yeah, Browns have. They're collecting them like Hummel figures in an old lady's house. It's pretty awesome.

[Brady]

Be ready for the scraps.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well, Kenny Pickett's probably going to be Colt. There it is. And it's. It's. It's almost curved. It's like. It's not just dislocated, it's. It's rounded off.

[Brett Vesely]

Was that Peyronie's disease?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he's got Peyronie's disease.

[Brady]

Like his thumb?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it looks like a mini thumb. It's like a little curved thumb. That's one of the more pleasant pictures I had or I saw of that. Pretty cool. He'll be all right. That's the good news, is that it's not like Demar Hamlin. We're not gonna have to put on, you know, Richardson strong shirts and stuff like that. Worst case, if you just want to celebrate this, head on over to 16th street in Maryland and go to Richardson's in his honor because they've got amazing chips and salsa. Brady likes that pasta, Heidi. Although you're not allowed to have it anymore.

[Brady]

I got. I got two weeks.

[John Holmberg]

You're not allowed to have two weeks. You got one kidney hanging by a thread. You want to screw with that? I'm keeping an eye on him. I'm going to be a good mother through this. I got a lot of emails. People wishing Brady the best and also adding in their resume for some reason, I don't understand what's going on. This one got my eye. Now you're going to need this one. Brady, if you weren't with us yesterday. Brady finally announced that he is going through kind of a health thing. Uh, we're all pretty positive about it, especially Brady, who's always positive about it. So who knows what the doc doctor probably told? Brady's not gonna make it. He's like, yeah, didn't hear that part.

[Brady]

He's kidding.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. He's just messing with me. I'll be fine. I feel good. He's got. You got a tumor on your kidney. Your kidney's getting removed late August. And not to belabor it, but it's, you know, it's a big deal. Then you got some kidney issues, so you gotta, like. You got a lot on your plate, kid. And we're gonna make sure that that plate is mostly filled with salads. Says, I had a kidney transplant eight years ago. Brady. It is not fun. But I'm going to tell you this. You will realize how crappy you currently feel after you get this done. You get so used to being miserably unhealthy that when you get fixed, you won't believe the difference. Kind of like what I always say when I get my eyes done. Yeah, you don't realize how bad your sight, your vision was until you get them fixed. You're like, what? I was terrible. This one said, here's what you need to know. Brady, are you listening, Brady? Yeah. Don't disrespect the possibility, or don't disrespect that the possibly dead donor's organ is yours now. And you can mistreat it with salt and beef and garbage. Dudes with me, forget the garbage part. Get serious about what you eat, man. Your diet is everything. Listening to you say it wasn't yesterday was nauseating. What you eat and put inside you is all your body gets. So be smart. From here on out, you're borrowing an organ. I think he thinks you're getting a train.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Would you?

[Brady]

Eventually, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You need renting it or.

[Brett Vesely]

What is this?

[John Holmberg]

Come on. It wasn't yours is what he said.

[Brett Vesely]

It doesn't matter. It's yours now.

[John Holmberg]

Brett, are you helping or hurting? This guy's helping. Don't be like I was before I needed this. Which is a guy making excuses for how. How I was unhealthy because of bad luck. Oh, I got a bad draw. But that wasn't the case. Was because of my behavior. Also, you're going to get weird looking for a while. You'll get so loaded up with steroids and drugs that your head's going to balloon up. And those bastards you work with are going to make fun of that because like my boys, they're awesome. Take the jokes. Get your moon face and get better. Hit your reset button and don't F it up. Kenneth Love. You guys live in Fort Wayne Superfan. You hear that, Brady?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You're going to get moon face. There's no trash can yesterday telling us there's no dietary restrictions because Wikipedia's first page, first line said. Yeah, most of the time there's not a ton. And then it said. Then it said. The word, however, skipped right over that and then it just rattled off. Everything Brady loves is a thing he can't.

[Brady]

Easy peasy.

[John Holmberg]

No protein, no dairy, no phosphates. None of that stuff. Salads.

[Brett Vesely]

It's like he's reading a telegram. Your nutrition is fine.

[John Holmberg]

Stop.

[Brady]

It said stop.

[John Holmberg]

So I did. So there's that. Brady, I know you don't like hearing that stuff. Stays are over. I'm gonna take a bite of my beef stick as a perfectly healthy man and. Mmm. Not worth it. Delicious. Not worth it. No, it's okay. You would hate it. Your kidneys would fall out of you. That was good, though. That was a really good beefsteak. I know what these are. It's not beef jerky, Brad. Nine grams of protein. Brazen. I don't have any. You keep an eye on them too. I am on it. Five across the face every time you see him. When the Blue Bell people come here and those bluebell people are being a little irresponsible with Bray. Remember the blizzard people? We had Dairy Queen drop off blizzards last Friday and Brady had just left. We had a running bet because we text and said, hey, the blizzards are here. Running bet that you were. If you hadn't gotten circle back, you hadn't gotten to the 101 yet, you were coming back for Fanduel told us to F off.

[Brett Vesely]

They weren't accepting that bet.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, it was a negative. Everything we thought for sure. Look, I mean must not have been.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Working in your car.

[John Holmberg]

He just didn't get red if that.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Was red to you.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, if his car goes Message from HMS thread free blizzards in kitchen just dropped off. I'm gonna have to turn around get those. Because he heard the two things he loves the most. Ice cream and free it have been wrong way driver202 and everybody else would have been his problem would have been.

[Brady]

Put two or three in the freezer.

[John Holmberg]

He just zipp right through and all those other crashes that he caused. Anyway, keep an eye on Brady and I read all the emails that our Brady went through a lot. There was a lot of people who who said nice things about you.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Quite a few people with a lesser kidney out there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, a lot of donate.

[Brady]

How many people drop a kidney say that like oh yeah, I had mine.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, got one.

[Brady]

I got a donor.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you got to get. Sometimes you got to get a new one. This one said good God, man. Of all the crap you guys talk and talk about hearing that adorkable Brady has been diagnosed has gutted me. I haven't listened to you boobs for over 20 years. And even when you're all serious, it's never this heavy. Love you guys. Stay strong. Go Brady. I'll be praying for him. Well I'll be praying against him so that'll counter you out. Well, thank you, Douglas. That's very nice. Yeah, a lot of people have been been very kind. I think that's a nice prayer was a real thing. I'd love to hear your prayers like out loud. Oh, if I heard somebody praying just for just to be a dick, I'd pray against whatever that guy next to me is doing. Counter it just out loud because that's the power of prayer. Would have to hear you. He has to ah this guy. And then he's got to make a choice. And if the cancer doesn't get better, it's because of me. That's what Joel Osteen always does. My mother had breast cancer and she was diagnosed with it and it was stage four and she was not going to make it. She was not going to live. But the power of prayer brought her back. And all I think about is the person at home watching Joel Osteen whose mother died of breast cancer.

[Brady]

She died last week, by the way.

[John Holmberg]

Did she finally go, jesus, it's about time. This lady's like she had to be.

[Brady]

109, I think 94.

[John Holmberg]

She made it through Brady because God saved her. Over. What about all the people who died of breast cancer? You doesn't matter, you dick. People who know they didn't hit the prayer quota. God hit it with my. My mother. God liked her more than your mom who died of it.

[Big Dick Toledo]

That thought, why let anyone die?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, right. All you're gonna do is just stop it. Pray it away if you could. Pray it away if you get it. If it hits a number and she lives to be 94, what's the point of it?

[Big Dick Toledo]

Brady's gonna be 104. Good with no kidneys, right?

[John Holmberg]

Just walking around, filtering his blood in the tank.

[Brady]

How is he alive?

[John Holmberg]

He's got that big machine next to him. It's my blood filter. Kidneys are for babies. This is badass. Bebop boop. I'm a robot. Wait.

[Big Dick Toledo]

See what they did to my car to accommodate.

[John Holmberg]

He's got a big old tank in the back full of fish and blood. Fish and Blood's a good band name. I got a lot of emails.

[Brady]

I got a lot of. Not a lot, but a few T's and P's.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Thoughts and prayers. Good. Which.

[Brady]

They're being funny.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You get some T's and P's. Well, you know what? That's what people say. People don't know what to do. And we in this room, I think, are kind of all like, well, cheers. We just deal with the reality of it. The T's and P's are people's discomfort.

[Brady]

I'll take it all.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I'll. Look. Take. Take what? Take all the well wishes and positivity, and then, you know, you just get people who have to treat you like, well, this is the. This is your radical acceptance moment. This is the reality. No reason to wallow in sadness. We're going to get you through this with a few laughs.

[Brady]

I hope you pull through. By the way, here's my resume.

[John Holmberg]

I probably have 15 of those. I literally sent resumes, which they went to the point of attaching a resume just in case I can read. Like, they think that's the job requirement. And clearly it isn't.

It's John Holberg and Brett Vesely from the morning sickness coming at you. For our pals at Action Ride Shop, it's summertime.

[Brett Vesely]

But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the outdoors here in Arizona. You just have to be smart about it.

[John Holmberg]

That's a fact, Burt. Action Ride Shop is step one in the smart department. They've got awesome deals on all their E bikes right now.

[Brett Vesely]

They also have specials on their mountain bikes and neighborhood commuters.

[John Holmberg]

And just because it's hot out doesn't mean you can't grab a light and ride the glorious Arizona trails with an awesome setup from outbound lighting and night rider.

[Brett Vesely]

Get to Action Ride Shop on the 60 and Gilbert or their new location on McDowell and Power.

[John Holmberg]

ActionRideshop.com It's John Holmberg here from the morning sickness 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 Holmberg's morning sickness. Oh, they don't have to read. You don't have to know how. Just formulate a word or two here and there and you'll be all right. We got. I got this one, too. Remember yesterday, Brian, Ryan, Ryan, Brian. The email from the guy whose name is Ryan, but everybody at work called him Brian for seven months. For seven months. And he never fixed it. And his email was Brian, dot blah, blah, blah. And as they gave him a placard for his desk and it said Brian, he just. He was a passive fellow.

[Brady]

Did he stand up and say enough?

[John Holmberg]

So he said his therapist told him supposed to say something. I've been holding it off for a couple of weeks. And he says, hey, guys, I Guess I'm not the only listener to the Holmgren show. He said, as a joke, he goes, isn't it awful? A coworker came over to me yesterday and said, are you the Ryan who emailed kupd? And I laughed and I said, yeah, that's me. He was very cool. He actually emailed an entire office email saying that everyone there has been calling me by the wrong name. And everybody came to me and apologized, and then they had a big lunch to say goodbye to Brian. That's pretty cool. The office said bye to Brian. No, no, not fire. No, no. Brian stayed, but they had to say goodbye to Brian. He said, hilarious. Once again, HMS saves the day. Brady, sorry to hear about your kidney. Hope you're okay. Heal fast so you guys can get back to saving lives. Ryan still Brian with a C on my email, if you notice. There you go. Fixed itself. Because you have a much cooler employee in your office that did the dirty lifting for you, the heavy stuff, which is pretty good. Good on you, man. And Ryan, Brian gets to keep going.

[Brady]

That's pretty amazing. Corrected in a day.

[John Holmberg]

And. But it wasn't because of him. The bad part is, is that imagine.

[Brady]

How much that was sitting on him, how much that was killing him to step up.

[John Holmberg]

You see a therapist about it. But Ryan wasn't going to do anything. Ryan had that guy come to him. Right. Still Ryan, it worked out that way. He still think he. He got bailed out. Yeah, he's still in the. The pussy boat, but he got bailed out and bailed out by much cooler, tougher worker. You have to. You have to grow.

[Brady]

Hopefully you can see that from that. That guy doing that. That like it wasn't that big of a deal to step up and say something.

[John Holmberg]

What he learned was someone else will do it. He still never the. The key to that moment was for him to actually face the demon that he had created. That would have been better for him to realize, oh, this isn't bad. He had to do it. He had to take the stance someone.

[Brady]

Else at least experience what it is to be a hot chick.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, exactly. He got a drink bought for him.

[Brady]

Yeah, he's a time you'll get a drink.

[John Holmberg]

Let's go forward with this. Ryan, no offense, but you're still a miserable jellyfish. You this up badly. You should have been the one that was, you know, pushing it. The fact that the cool dude at work just said, I'll take care of this for you there pussy. And he did it. And you went back. My hero. What are you Olive oil. Get up off your desk and do some work, Ryan. That's what your therapist has been telling you. Just not as nice as me. A guy at work did it for me. Isn't it adorable? Well, I guess you owe him a blowjob, Ryan. Brian, get on it. It's enabling is what that is. It's a guy going around fixing it for someone else. If we've been calling, we call Brett Bird all the time, just as a joke, rearrange words. But if. If he was mad about it, I don't think you'd have been from down the hall going, hey, talk to Brad. He's really not happy with this. I'll put out a company wide email if he's not happy with it. What's wrong with him? He's scared of you. Oh, worse.

[Brady]

Big Food would like to talk to you.

[John Holmberg]

So what you need, Ryan? You would like that nickname if you started getting that on your checks. That would be pretty awesome if it just said Brady Big Food Bogan. Ryan, you need to manufacture a new problem and stand on your desk and go, all right, mother, that's enough. Just make something up to make people go, boo. This Ryan guy is a real go getter. Because right now, this, to me is worse. I think jellyfish. It's worse for Ryan. Not for his environment. For him. He did he. This to me is that this could have been his moment to go, oh, I do have value. People do. Listen to me. He sat there, darn it, passively. Well, people went up and go, hey, sorry about that. We didn't know. It's okay. Come on, Ryan. Yeah, that's the thing. He's Stuart Small. He's. He sits and talks in a mirror about all the things he wishes he could say to other people. That was a pussy moment, Ryan. It's worse.

[Brett Vesely]

One guy watched by going to sorry, man puss.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And then the dude that wrote the email, you should email.

[Brady]

I think he's gonna have that regardless.

[John Holmberg]

He's a pussy. That's what we're trying to fix. That's what he's trying to fix. He's going to a therapist to try to fix it. He can't have, you know Clint, the cool co worker, Wander. Clint. I got this for you, Ryan. Cause I know you and your giant vagina will never do a thing about it. Heard it on the radio this morning. What a pussy, Ryan. What a pussy. And he knew who he was. That's the worst part. He. He knew. Oh, kind of a weakling has emailed the radio Station. I work with a guy named Brian who's a weakling. Yeah, I'm gonna go ask if it's him. That's worse that your email identified you at work. I know this dude. I'll handle this. He's. And now you got some captain save a ho in your office. That made you even more passive.

[Brady]

Well, look, they could have lit him up on that thing too.

[John Holmberg]

That would have been. Nobody's gonna do that. It's no big deal. Ryan needs to pick a fight.

[Brady]

I'm sorry it didn't work out, right?

[John Holmberg]

No, it worked out, Brady, but you're not following. This poor dude needed to stand up for himself, not have somebody else do it. That's what that would got him in this position in the first place. You have to be able to be a man sometimes. He's got to pick a fight with somebody at work today. I mean, like just. Just from behind a punch to the back of the head to the closest woman.

[Brady]

Man, we fixed it. Then all of a sudden he got fired because he.

[John Holmberg]

Because he went nuts the next day. Come on, Ryan. You know it fire off an email saying, you know, I just want everybody to know I appreciate the Brian goodbye party yesterday, but it here going. Going forward. If the word Brian is mentioned, I'll report you to hr. It's kind of a pussy move to. I don't know, just something. Just be. Be tough. Toughen up a little bit. You're making me sick. Because guess what?

[Brady]

Everyone at the company and say I appreciate everything that happen. Yeah, I'm not a. Any you.

[John Holmberg]

Any boys that want to come at me today. You almost think I'm a. Let's do this. I'm like an octopus, man. I've got. You'll see arms coming at you from every angle. Jesus Christ. Crying Ryan sure is different since the email. Yeah, yeah, that's his nickname at work. Crying Ryan. Brian, don't bother. Crying Ryan. Hey, guys. I made some lemonade last night out of real lemons from my tree. Thanks, Ryan. Brian. It's not good. That's not better. That's not better. Then I read this. Speaking of workplace stuff, see if any of this resonates. Brady.

[Brady]

All right.

[John Holmberg]

I saw this story yesterday. I wrote myself a little note and then emailed it to me just so I didn't do it. I was scrolling through some news stories yesterday afternoon. Here are five signs your seemingly solvent company is on its last legs. You ready?

[Brady]

Ready.

[John Holmberg]

You ready, Brett? I'm ready. We're doomed, by the way. Let me just start by Saying goodbye.

[Brady]

You're taining it.

[John Holmberg]

We're doing.

[Brady]

Let's just see what the five are.

[John Holmberg]

A round of firings. Eliminating low level positions, allowing savings of a little bit without scaring any of the more tenured or well paid employees. Check. There's one job consolidation. Combining eliminated positions into current, sometimes completely unrelated spots for no further pay. Lane Pandrock downstairs. Elimination of small perks. Oh, yeah. Nikki's got like eight jobs now. She's got to fly around. Elimination of small perks. Coffee cups and utensils. Remember when they got rid of all that for us? They. Yeah. We have to use one like begging cup. You have to wash it yourself.

[Brett Vesely]

Fitz brought his own case in.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. This might as well be. Listen to what it said. This might as well be the skull and crossbones of a company. This means they've tried to just about everywhere to save. And this is the last penny grab they have without a detrimental culling of the staff. Yeah. Hit it. Building repairs are temporarily handled or completely ignored. How's that bathroom?

[Brady]

Wow.

[John Holmberg]

It says this usually means a sink that stops working will have a sign over it until the announcement that the whole building's just shutting down. Bathroom is the first spot. Plumbing leaks usually happen. Unless. Yeah, unless. No, unless it's a flood. Most things are piecemealed rather than professionally repaired. If your company is the owner of their own property or property surrounding, which would include landscaping. Companies that own their own land usually become hillbilly neighbors. As far as maintenance goes. They stop watering the plants or grass in a money saving effort, not realizing that the unattractive edifice becomes a glaring spotlight light on the end days. Let's take a look outside and say, oh, geez. Yeah, they killed all the plants. Have you walked up pretty Good job trimming. Have you walked up this side, the. The, the. The south side yet? No, I don't do that anymore.

[Brady]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

I used to fix lights that would fall two weeks that it's been down for two weeks. Remember when there used to be lush landscaping as you walked in?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Go take a look.

[Brady]

Oh, it's gone.

[John Holmberg]

It's gone.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

It hasn't been watered in a year.

[Brady]

I think it's the toxic soil.

[John Holmberg]

These palo verdes we have planted in the front, they're not going anywhere. Those things survive everything. They tip over and grow back in an hour.

[Brett Vesely]

We're the hillbilly neighbors.

[John Holmberg]

LGE then and to video west because LGE doesn't have any dead plants or some. You know, Jose's not out there ripping out all the yuccas. We had hundreds of those plants on the side of the building. They're all gone. They turn dead brown first and now they're gone. We have these stand up walkway lights along the sidewalk. I used to be, when I was a good employee, I used to be a guy who would fix that. It would tip over in a storm or whatever. You trimmed a tree once that was over the walkway. Those days are over. They've lost that in us. That thing has been tipped over and it's just a deadlight spraying onto the ground for two weeks. And I walk by it every morning. Go. I didn't realize it was the of the end. Uh, number five, this is a great one. Listen to this. See if you boys relate to this. Anybody else listening, Relating to this too. It's like a real hair on your neck thing. Unsolicited emails reminding everyone that everything is okay. Think of it like this, what doctors tell you and paramedics are trained to say when you're injured or potentially very scared. Stay calm. It's okay. Everything's okay. A lot of times a boss will fire off an email unrelated to work, telling everyone of their personal lives, their kids, their accomplishments, their grandkids, if applicable. Even sometimes they'll callously speak of their most recent amazing vacation to let you know they're not worried. Meanwhile, every plant in your office is brown or worse. Sometimes just an empty pot. Hit it. This is exactly us. I know there's a lot of people out there walking into their work, looking around, going, all the plants are dead. I have to carry my own coffee cupping.

[Brady]

You get the email from the boss?

[John Holmberg]

You know, we've had a tough quarter, but I just got back from ibisa. There's no fear, we're fine. How about that? I mean, run down the list.

[Brady]

I thought, you know, I thought on that list would be you're not getting paid. Or they had.

[John Holmberg]

Well, well, that's, that's. It's over. At that point, if you, if you. Look, if you need a. An email to tell you your checks aren't here and the company's doing just fine, that's. I don't think they'd include that. If you stop getting paid, it is over.

[Brady]

Well, you gotta wait until.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, if they're treating you like they loaned you the money or you loaned them money, I'll get it back to you. You can't do it Friday, but got a lot coming through on Tuesday. We'll get you. We'll get you paid then. How about that?

[John Holmberg]

H-E-L-P.com Holmberg Holmberg's Morning Sickness those are pretty solid. Make you a little nervous, doesn't it?

[Brady]

I know you've had it before I've walked up, but I just think of the one Step like, we'll come into work one day and there's.

[John Holmberg]

Wait a minute.

[Brady]

Fob's not working. Can't get in the door, and there's.

[John Holmberg]

Just a piece of paper. Yeah.

[Brady]

Like in a restaurant.

[John Holmberg]

They changed the codes, by the way. We.

[Brady]

We closed.

[John Holmberg]

I've not had that. But I knew about it.

[Brady]

I saw that. Like, I went to a restaurant one.

[John Holmberg]

Time, and that was also.

[Brady]

The staff was out front.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, man.

[Brady]

They're like, here's. This is all we know.

[John Holmberg]

Slow. You just drove by and thought there was a sale or something. There's a lot of people milling around outside. Good going on in there. Anyway. Yeah. So if that resonates with you at your office like it does us. Was there anything in there that we haven't seen yet? The coffee cup thing was a hilarious penny grab. We used to have styrofoam cups. They would. The company would supply it like a buck 19 a case. And, like, we're not doing that anymore. You get your own cup.

[Brady]

But that would fluctuate even back in the day with Chuck.

[John Holmberg]

Well, Chuck was terrible about the envelopes.

[Brady]

You know, envelopes. But we'd also have the coffee cup also. There was a time where he's like, you know, that's it. I'm spending this on coffee.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, He. He cut coffee out. He provided the styrofoam cups. Then he'd bitch that you wasted them. Yes. Why can't you reuse it? Because one had tea in it and it was gross. And it's. I'm. Ah, that's it. And he would. I think he was more of a power play. That envelope. We used to have our checks come in an envelope before. He wouldn't pay for the thing to get it automated to, like, where we could just deposit it. So everybody got a check in an envelope and you had to give the envelope back. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

You had to put it back in.

[John Holmberg]

The box even if you had direct deposit. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He wanted to give a copy. He wanted to give you a copy of the check. You had to give the envelope back. And if you wrecked it, they're like, ah, it was like a nightmare. People had had their envelopes for 20 plus years. But I think that wasn't so much that Chuck didn't want to spend money on envelopes, but it was also kind of a. A foot on your throat a little. Like, that was him going, I control everything. Like, he had a. It was a. It was a moment for him to let us know, you're under my thumb.

[Brady]

Known in the market.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You're under my thumb, you said. And it was known in the market as like, I run a tight ship.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

These envelopes were so old, they were literally. Your name was typed on their typewriter. Not a printer, a typewriter. Mine was scotch taped back together because the envelope started falling apart.

[John Holmberg]

You did not dare ask for a new one. Yeah.

[Brady]

Started to turn yellow.

[John Holmberg]

It was. Yeah. Maybe we've been closing for a long time. Yeah. I remember when we got the email about, no more of this Styrofoam cup nonsense. Bring your own mugs in. And we had to rattle them against the bars to get a piece of ice.

[Brady]

At least that company, I mean, that was up front. Everything's going to be, oh, you know, like Christmas parties.

[John Holmberg]

Chuck shouted, I'm cheap on a regular basis. He owned it. Yeah. I mean, he didn't. He never. Yeah, he shouted, I am cheap. I am saving every pen. I'm not fixing this building. We had one day. We had a. Literally, the only way you could describe it was a flood, was when the toilets decided to just go, we're done here. And worked reverse and flooded the hallway. I don't think I saw a hallway with a carpet.

[Brady]

Was like, oh, is this a moonwalk?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Inflatable.

[John Holmberg]

The carpet swelled with feces, urine, rogue tampons. Whatever else you could shove in there swelled up. And I don't think anybody came to fix it because Chuck, our old boss, was a plumber's apprentice in college, and he went in there and turned it off. That's all I knew. It happened. He turned it off. Nobody showed up to fix it. It flooded all the way into our carpeted kitchen. The dishwasher backed up with poo. Nobody fixed it. The carpet dried and everything was fine. A couple days later, because he fixed.

[Big Dick Toledo]

The toilet side of the toilet.

[John Holmberg]

Nobody used that to wash anything. You could have taken a dump in that dishwasher and it wouldn't have made a single difference scientifically of what's in it than what was in it.

[Big Dick Toledo]

Remember, I think we were housing the entire colony of bees for ahwatuki in Larry's office.

[John Holmberg]

We.

[Big Dick Toledo]

They got into the beams.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. They were inside to foam the building. All right, back to work. I miss a goddamn spot because of these office. You're all fired.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, don't forget, when it. When it rained and it leaked into the roof, they would just change the ceiling tiles.

[John Holmberg]

And very rarely did they change the ceiling tiles if the tile didn't leak.

[Brady]

Because it just didn't want to Go up there.

[John Holmberg]

Well, no, it was asbestos. Yes. Yeah, it was. You do it.

[Brady]

I'm not gonna do it.

[John Holmberg]

But here we are in Saddam's palace and everybody's like, everything's fine. What are you talking about? Sale. What are you talking about? Going on a visit. You're out of your mind. Where's the plants? Oh, he stopped watering those a while ago. Why? Cost cutting measure. Can I have a cup? Good God, no. What am I, Rockefeller?

[Brady]

Don't forget, we've had our floods here too.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, this place is. This thing is built out of Legos. I don't know what this building is. It can't rain. I'm glad we've had bad monsoons for the last couple years because this place can't take it. It's pretty. Well, it was before the plants died. That whole side over there, I used to enjoy walking into my side door there.

[Brady]

They're poisonous. No, they look.

[John Holmberg]

You know, we are hillbilly neighbors too, because now the plants don't hide the rat boxes that say do not eat. We're gonna walk by those rat traps, there's a whole bunch. Do not eat. I'm like, I wasn't gonna eat off the ground today. What do you think of me?

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, the little lunchbox looking things.

[John Holmberg]

Just leave these alone. Don't touch it. I wasn't gonna get in there and see if they caught one. What AM I, WV 10 year old? Yeah. Now there's like boxes of rat traps up against what used to be covered by flora and fauna. Gone. So we might have to worry about something here. We might have to start thinking about some things. I don't think this is going as well as people like kupd. I know for a fact it's just fine. I don't know what these other anchors are doing to this building, but it doesn't look good right now. At least ask the plants. They got fired. Hilarious. But yeah, I was reading that yesterday and I'm like, is this a joke? This is like everything that's happened with us and it's these goddamn other two. If we could get if. Would somebody out there buy KS selection? Katie, kb please just buy them. That way we can have our plants back. We can have a pretty building that doesn't isn't surrounded by rat traps.

[Brady]

It's going to happen soon. It'll just be really nice on this side.

[John Holmberg]

It is already like we should dec. You know what we should do is take some of our KUPD winans and just decorate around our end of it and let the desolate losers on the other end of the building continue that nightmare that they're. We gotta drag them across the desert. Why? Why do we have to kill our plants? Because they can't make people, like, enjoy themselves. I'm sorry, Foster. The people isn't a rating success. But let's. Let's get the plants back.

[Brady]

Don't they come over and bend the knee?

[John Holmberg]

Well, I don't want them bending the knee. We still have to. We still have no plants.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't want them on their knees.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe if we. I don't want KDK to be on their knees either. Well, actually, maybe for a second. If I close my eyes, it might not be. All right, well, maybe we should consolidate jobs and have kdkb, since they anchor around. Around kslx, too, and have them do some of the landscape and keep our plants alive. The KUPD garden is dead, and it's their fault.

[Brett Vesely]

You do hand Izzy and Dustin a shovel and tell them to get to work or what?

[John Holmberg]

No, they're not gonna do just maybe. Well, they're probably good with flowers. I bet you they'd be. I bet you they'd be amazing. Gonna be gorgeous indoor flowers. He's not outside doing that heavy stuff. He just watches all those other guys do it. He kind of cucks the landscapers, you know, Same way Brady's uncle used to. Anyway, it's way to get things done. Thought it was interesting. So now I, you know, now I'm gonna drive around and look at buildings, and if their landscaping is all dead. Oh, you notice that even with homes and stuff, if you're in your neighborhood and you're like a guy that used to have pretty nice landscape, and it's all dead now, you're like, oh, divorce. Yeah. Or, well, but, you know, it can.

[Brady]

My sprinklers went out for 48 hours.

[John Holmberg]

Okay? I had my sprinklers go out for about three days, and a lot of my stuff's back. It's recovering well. The stuff that's back is back. The stuff that was bad got pulled. So I don't have, like, dead stuff just in the front yard. It's not. It is. It is murder when your sprinklers go off for two days.

[Brett Vesely]

Whoa, John, wait a minute. You're telling me the slump buster didn't work downstairs?

[John Holmberg]

It did. It did. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

We're gonna get one new plant or what?

[John Holmberg]

They probably start asking us for money. Hey, you guys want to kick in on the landscaping? You out of your mind? Doing enough around here. Yeah, I used to be the type of employee that would. All this lights down. Let's fix that. Stays are over.

[Brady]

That one is just in it.

[John Holmberg]

Yard blew up all over, and the poor light still works. You look at it like, I'm still doing my job. Hey, John, how you doing? You want to lift me up, put me back together? No light. I don't do that anymore. If they don't pay anybody to do it, I'm not doing it either. They'll kill you. I can't wait to. Can't wait to drive around and take a look at other places. Going out of. It's going out of business. Going out of business. KTAR had that, too. I went over there. They might be in trouble. Because when I went over there and did that thing with Ozzy for Bruce and Gatos, I went in and it just said, the lobby's closed today. You can't get in there. Just had a sign. It's just, lobby's closed today. The guy let me in and he goes, yeah, we give her a day off every once in a while. Like the lady that lets people in. Yeah, she gets a day off every once in a while. And then it dawned on me. Well, better than ours. We have an empty front desk. At least you have a temporary front desk lady that lets people in. We don't. Our doorbell rings. It's like 1983 around here. Kids are running around. I'll get out.

[Brett Vesely]

You see Emily just pissed, walking down the hall.

[John Holmberg]

Glance people. Yeah, I'm like, so you just let her go, huh?

[Brady]

It's.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. This one says, hey, Brady and Brett. Can we shut John up? Isn't that building brand new? Pretty sure you guys have lasted longer than Guadalupe, pansy ass libs. Oh, we were lasting in Guadalupe. We were lasting here. You know what never happened in Guadalupe? The plants didn't die. And that's not because of us. There's so many Mexicans in the area that they just ran over to fix anything that looked a little bit bad yet. Anyway, it was just an Interesting. Interesting.

[Brady]

20 times better than the quad.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I'd stay in this sieve of a building. Than I'd ever go back to that dump.

[Brady]

The views alone.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's. Yeah, it's. This is much. This is a much better spot. But I'm just saying. And writing's on the wall. We're trying to turn it into Guadalupe. All I'm saying is water the plants a little bit, keep up appearances. At the very least. Brett's right. We look like a divorced dad, we just stopped. Water in the front yard just. Bitch took it all. I don't even care about the yard.

[Byron]

Anyone.

[John Holmberg]

It's brown. Big dead tree.

[Brett Vesely]

She's the only one who cared about them flowers.

[John Holmberg]

Anyway. Stick around here until this goddamn thing sells. But I'll tell you what. I'm gonna ruin the front yard so the price tag drops and she doesn't get as much as she thinks she's gonna get. That house was worth $800,000 until you ruin the yard. Now Doug Hopkins is only giving us 300,000. Good. You whore. I'll kill more of it. I'm gonna paint it purple at 6:22. Just, you know, keep your eyes open at your work. If you're walking into your office today and there's just plants everywhere, flowers, and it's flourishing, and you go over and you take that weird little Styrofoam cup off the top of the rack of Styrofoam cups, that's for everybody. Congratulations to yourself. Lucky. You're doing a good. You're in a great spot. Your owner isn't talking about trips or kids or anything like that.

[Brett Vesely]

I gotta go wash my coffee cup.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you have yours out? Yeah, you sure do. It's gotta hand wash his coffee cup like it's 1920.

[Brady]

Good run.

[John Holmberg]

He's in the recession. In the Great Depression, they used to walk around with those cups and just hold them in lines. They bring cups and, like, bags for the piece of bread they were about to get. We're getting close.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, Fitz's case of cups is gone now.

[John Holmberg]

The one we gotta. Well, we gotta get on there. Let's get a Wake up song while we still have a station. You guys give it to us good and strong. And if. Again. I'm serious. If you're an investor. I mean, it's. You're. If you're a good investor, you won't do it. But if you're just a person with a lot of money and want to help us out, will you buy KESLX and KDKP so KUPD can have it all instead of share it with these losers? Tired of it. Uh, Give it to us good and strong. 585-9800 and we'll scream it together. It's 98 KUPD. Wake up. Hey, it's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee. I have heard enough of this.
