You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself.
John Holmberg
He's evil. Sitting right here. Come on.
Geico Advertiser
No, no, he's not evil. He's just a bit rude to you.
John Holmberg
Pt, A lot of emails about people with the Satan stuff and I think I turned one of them said, I never really thought of that. If Satan has all that power, why is he slow burn and just take over? Exactly what I've been saying for guy named Bruce. Yeah, if his plan is to 100 years from now to have it fine. Scott has emailed in and says Satan is like DirecTV. They only care about the new members. Yeah, it kind of seems that way. They don't really. They don't give the deals to the people who've been around for a long time. In Satanism it's always just, it's like phone companies. It's just the new deals.
News Reporter
Where's my Red Zone package?
John Holmberg
Why don't I get NFL Network for free? I'm switching, I'm cutting the cord. Ah, that's good stuff. Anyway, I don't understand the Satan thing either. There you go.

News Reporter
Good Monday morning to you, Phoenix.
John Holmberg
Hello, world. Hi.
News Reporter
Happy National Fajita Day. All right, couple of basic fun facts. Singapore has a government agency to promote marriage and romance, and it fosters opportunities for single singles to interact in social settings.
John Holmberg
Wait, it's just teaching government programs at all? A government program that takes you from being social incel like you're not a. You're a person who can't get a date so they put you in a room. Isn't that just love on the spectrum? Isn't that the same thing? Close speed dating. Government operated speed dating. If you wanted that, why do you need the government? Wouldn't you be? I guess they'll probably pay you if you get married. They'd be like, hey, if you go through our program and you actually get hitched, we'll give you some money.
Brett
That might be Dave Nash before that.
John Holmberg
Yeah, but he's all about blowing the population up to like 100 billion. Interesting. I'm wondering why the government? I mean, I know that they want more people. That means more taxes. Nobody's really interested in the population being on the increase because of us. It's more taxes, it's more people for wars. It's more it's just more money up and down. It's just better for commerce if your population is going the right way. Plus it pays for the future. Most governments, like the United States especially, rely on the next generation to pay for the current dying generation. Like we are currently paying me for my dad's generation. The people behind me are going to pay for my. And we go lower, it means Alex.
Brett
Is paying for us.
John Holmberg
Oh no, no. We're all going to starve. Well, at least he can doordash us some stuff when the Alex apocalypse happens.
Brett
Too hard, dad? Not doordashing.
News Reporter
You know why the Colorado Rockies mascot.
John Holmberg
This one's too far. But I do.
Podcast Announcer
Like I know I had a printed angle.
John Holmberg
Vasquez. That's a good one. Sorry, say what?
News Reporter
Why the Colorado Rockies mascot is a Triceratops Dinger.
John Holmberg
Cuz they found it when they were doing the construction.
News Reporter
Yeah, they found a rib bone. Good of a dinosaur. They went with the triceratops.
John Holmberg
This is the most famous Dinger moment in mascot history. Dinger. Oh my God. Oh my God. We just apologized. Heard some horrible language. Doesn't belong anywhere on our broadcasts as far as I'm concerned. Totally agree. When you yell Dinger, not with a hard R, you yell that mascot Dinga. Dinga. You throw that hard R on it. People are getting offended. They announced it during a Rockies game because he thought he heard something else. Still hilarious.
News Reporter
A new study looked at how much people scroll on their phones and they converted the distance that you move through feeds into miles.
John Holmberg
So each scrolls like 3 inches.
News Reporter
According to their data, the state that scrolls the furthest.
John Holmberg
Like New Hampshire someplace.
News Reporter
Arizona.
John Holmberg
No kidding. We're. We're scrolling like crazy.
News Reporter
We scroll 115.44 miles a year.
John Holmberg
Number one. 115 miles.
News Reporter
Miles a year.
John Holmberg
So they're counting. Let's say you've got a Samsung.
News Reporter
Phoenix to Tucson.
John Holmberg
Okay, so we've got. I've got this. Which is the. I don't even know what, seven inches long. Yeah, I know that. For other reasons. And you just scroll up. So each time I do that, it's seven inches I'm moving. Yeah, that's how they're doing the math.
News Reporter
That also is the equivalent of almost nine hours of screen time per day.
John Holmberg
That also means they know too much about what's going on with your phone.
Podcast Announcer
Yep.
News Reporter
Washington is second at 108 miles. Kentucky third, 105 miles. And Missouri. Then New Mexico.
John Holmberg
It's a lot of scrolling. A lot of lot of.
News Reporter
On the bottom five. Kansas, Maine, Nebraska, Minnesota, Massachusetts.
John Holmberg
They scroll the least.
News Reporter
Yeah, but overall, the average American spends 6 hours and 35 minutes per day on screens.
John Holmberg
It's a lot. A lot of that going on.
News Reporter
Got a middle school teacher in Spring Hill, Florida facing charges after he apparently got drunk between classes, crashed his car into the fence of the school's parking lot.
John Holmberg
Where'd he go?
News Reporter
Campus police officer found the 32 year old English teacher passed out behind the wheel.
John Holmberg
Wait, he left for a little bit. Yeah, you can do that.
News Reporter
It happened around 11:45. I am so maybe he left, was able to take a little lunch.
Brett
He was caked before.
John Holmberg
Yeah. This dude didn't start off sober. He didn't just go. He was a little bit tipsy and went to go get more.
News Reporter
They thought it was some kind of medical issue at first, but then they saw a bunch of single serving alcohol bottles.
John Holmberg
We had airplane bottles.
News Reporter
He's in a car.
John Holmberg
Like you're an alcoholic.
News Reporter
He refused to have his blood tested.
John Holmberg
Didn't need to at the hospital, but.
News Reporter
The cop noted that he smelled like alcohol.
John Holmberg
Yeah. If you have. This is for all of you right now, and I'm going to hit you in the guts. If you're in your car right now and there's one empty or one full, just one airplane bottle of alcohol, you have a massive problem. And I mean it is astronomical. No grown up has little tiny bottles of alcohol in their car, Brett.
Podcast Announcer
No.
Brett
Unless you're coming from total wine.
John Holmberg
Right. Unless you just purchased some and you're taking them home. That's the only time. But an empty one, I don't think they're.
Podcast Announcer
Hope if you're taking them home, you're usually not getting the little travel bottles either.
John Holmberg
You're buying travel bottles for a party. It's very unique to have little tiny airplane bottles. It's very.
Brett
You had like a gross of a monster.
John Holmberg
Not in the car.
Brett
Somebody did.
John Holmberg
Nobody had a minute. Well, they have to deliver them. Deliveries don't count. You know what I'm talking about. You're on your way to work and you have a couple airplane bottles nearby. Empty or full, it's over. Especially if they're empty in the car.
Brett
Yeah.
Podcast Announcer
You fling them out the window while you're drinking.
John Holmberg
Exactly.
Podcast Announcer
What's wrong with these people?
John Holmberg
That's right. Jesus. You litter them. So when you get pulled over, there isn't like that's what I see on op live evidence. A couple empty bottles in there. Those. This isn't my car. It's like, oh boy. You fling them out the window. You have a Better chance may cry.
Podcast Announcer
A little bit, but it's fine.
Brett
Exactly.
John Holmberg
So Greta, Thberg gets our feelings. Then he threw out his little tiny plastic. Butters. Shut up, Greta. I was trying to get out of a dui. It was from two days ago. I forgot I was drinking in there. Yeah, little tiny airplane bottles are your go to. That means your wife or husband knows and you've got to keep it quiet. You can't go buy giant flasks and carry them around. If somebody thinks you're an alcoholic because you are.
Brett
Screw you, Homeberg. You know how well those things fit in my golf bag.
John Holmberg
Golf bags are different. In the car is not in the golf bag. Your golf bag in your car full of those. And you didn't drink them. They're rotten away anyway. It's a thousand degrees in there, so you're not an alcoholic. But if you can see or reach an airplane bottle in your car, you got some problems. You got a massive problem. It's like beyond most people's problems. Like heroin addicts are like. Dude, you need to stop.
Brett
God damn it, John. I feel seen. I have right now an empty pint, bottle of vodka. A pint in my car.
John Holmberg
What does that make me? You're Rick James. An empty pint in the car. Unless you're driving it to a recycling center. There is no reason for that. Do what Brett suggests and just chuck it out the window. Right?
Brett
Come on, John. They're right there to let the candy bars at checkout. If I buy a 12 pack and I get four airplane bottles with it, what am I doing? Just snacking.
John Holmberg
You're not snacking. Oh, you're not? Yeah. You're an alcoholic.
News Reporter
In vernon, Connecticut, this 40 year old man was at a playground and has those tube plastic slides, you know, he got stuck in the middle and it was pretty hot. It was middle of the day.
John Holmberg
Playground slide.
News Reporter
Yeah.
John Holmberg
How fat are you?
News Reporter
He wasn't that big. You can. But somehow he got stuck in there for over a half hour. You can't figure. Department had to release slide down further. Somehow he was going through that tube and he.
John Holmberg
Tube?
Brett
Isn't it just a hole in the ceiling?
News Reporter
It looks like he tried to fold himself up. Oh, there's the fire rescue team. You know they cut.
John Holmberg
Not a little tube.
News Reporter
They cut the midsection in order to get them out. Then they had to pry them out of there.
John Holmberg
That's just a lard ass. Okay.
Brett
Dumb Holmberg. You'd never had a pregnant wife. Those airplane bottles got me through, brother.
John Holmberg
Right? Alcoholism. I'm not saying it doesn't happen and you don't have reason for it, but it is alcoholism. Like Brett said, you don't go to total wine for the baby bottles unless you're trying to keep. Keep it from somebody. You don't buy baby bottles unless somebody's up your ass about how much you drink. Right? Because it's pockets, it's ins. I'll give you some tips in the toilet tank. This is where Homer used to hide his beers on the Simpsons. I used to laugh hysterically. He'd open one up and grab a beer out of there. And one allowed to have them in the fridge. You caught too much heat and you put. And you can put them in the medicine cabinet. I remember at Tony Romas, I went to a girl's house. I went to the bathroom. You always opened the medicine cabinet. It was mostly little tiny bottles of alcohol.
Brett
It was a. Not her parents house. Her apartment.
John Holmberg
Her apartment.
Podcast Announcer
At least it wasn't Valtrex or something.
John Holmberg
Oh, God, I have been to that too. And I wasn't even trying to get with her. It was. We were just having a little party. But I opened up her thing. I'm like, this chick's got a huge problem. Her name was Dana. A huge problem.
Podcast Announcer
Gotta go, Bumpy. I'm outta here.
John Holmberg
Oh, no, she wasn't the Valtrex one. Valtrex one was a different one. Sickness, magnitude. Can you.
Wix Advertiser
How do you make an Airbnb? A VRBO picture a vacation rental with a host who's showing you every room like you've never seen a house before. Now get rid of them. There you go. No host ever. Now it's a verbo.
John Holmberg
Make it a Verbourg's morning sickness. And the weirder thing about Valtrex girl was she left it on her sink. I didn't know what it was at the time. I went and told my buddy James Pearman, and I said, hey, Pearman, she's got a thing on her. I think it's for like warts or something. He goes, what? He went in there. He goes, oh, yeah, she's got pills in the cabinet too. This girl's all over the place. Like, oh my God. And I don't think it was Valtrex at the time. It was like a. It didn't look like you bought it over the counter. It was one of those.
Podcast Announcer
Yeah, the great value version.
John Holmberg
It had like a medicine name on it, like Prehabaduplosapatin xl. And it was in one of those silver tubes that when you squeeze it it looks like it's crumpled newspaper. And it had been used up and the cap was all waxy. How you investigated. And from that day on, we knew. Yep.
Brett
Stay away.
Podcast Announcer
How'd she put out, Shannon?
John Holmberg
Head bumps.
Podcast Announcer
Man.
Brett
We hit the nerve with our audience.
John Holmberg
This morning because they're baby alcoholics.
Brett
Damn it, Homeburg. I threw out six fireball shots this morning. From the weekend to a day after.
John Holmberg
Work in your car. What's up?
Podcast Announcer
Jesus.
News Reporter
What's up?
Brett
What are you talking about?
John Holmberg
You're blowing up to me on this. What's up?
Brett
You don't take baby bottles full of liquor to football games.
John Holmberg
No.
News Reporter
Your kids football games.
John Holmberg
They serve it there.
Brett
God damn it. Those little bottles are cheaper. So if you are a drunk and broke and need a fix, it's cheap.
John Holmberg
What, football games? Yeah.
News Reporter
Your kids ufc?
John Holmberg
Yeah. And that's the only one. Brady's not wrong.
Podcast Announcer
You need a 750 at that point.
John Holmberg
High school.
Brett
You need a hand.
Podcast Announcer
Do a kids.
News Reporter
Yeah. Football game.
John Holmberg
I'm heading over seven five hand six. In your car right now. And you're blaming going to football games? There aren't any.
Brett
Those are two different texts.
John Holmberg
Oh, okay. I was gonna say I didn't differentiate.
News Reporter
Either way, but I like how you can find them.
John Holmberg
You shouldn't be. They serve alcohol at good football games.
Podcast Announcer
He's going to a kid's football, that's what.
John Holmberg
Yeah, like, the only way to stock up is if you're still going to like, Pop Warner. Lighten up, John.
Brett
You're so hoity toity. You're saying you never had a roadie before?
John Holmberg
Yeah, I've had a roadie, but I've never, like, gone out of my way to have, like I said, within reach. A full. A refill or an empty in the car.
News Reporter
A roadie on the ready on his way in in the morning.
John Holmberg
And most of the time I'm going someplace I'm gonna drink.
Podcast Announcer
The roadie's in a Styrofoam cup. You're not doing shooter bottles.
John Holmberg
And roadies are also. Usually you've got, like, a driver. And we did it when we went to Metallica. We got that van and we stopped at a liquor store and we loaded up. Those were roadies. I didn't want the driver loading up.
News Reporter
It's after work, bro.
John Holmberg
I'm not even gonna get fired for. Yeah, you are.
Brett
Stop judging me. It's not why I listen to this show.
John Holmberg
This is all this anger is your alcoholism yelling at me? I've worked with this guy before. I know what this Is hey, you. And I'm not judging you. Go be an alcoholic. There's plenty of you. There's groups.
Brett
Don't kill anybody on the way.
John Holmberg
Hang out in a room. There's good coffee and free donuts.
News Reporter
Just making the point that if you.
John Holmberg
Have it, just letting you know. And if you. Okay, let's. Let's sub stack this a little bit. One little baby bottles, full or empty, within reach in your car. Alcoholic. 2. If you're angry about that. Alcoholic. If somebody says, what are you, an alcoholic? And you go, shut up like you've never had a roadie. Jesus Christ. He's an angry alcoholic.
Brett
Talk about I take baby bottles to the football game all the time.
John Holmberg
What am I supposed to do? I go to football games, I gotta have six, seven of these. Stop. What's up, bro? Are you powing? Are we gonna fight over your alcoholism? Stop calling me that. You call me an alcoholic, Brett? Alcoholic. Nah. See how easy it is? I'm not even angry.
Brett
Yeah, don't ask me how I know this, but in Tennessee it's completely legal for the passengers to drink as long as the driver is not okay.
John Holmberg
Then what do they need hider bottles for?
Brett
Right?
Podcast Announcer
I like that rule.
John Holmberg
This guy says, back off, F face. I have a box of wine securely fastened to my passenger seat and belted in, signed Bunny Bogan. They remember everything. Yes, they remember everything. Bunny likes the box wine. Thanks, Hunter. Yeah, I'm just saying, you got baby bottles. If you have a need for baby bottles, that means you hide your drinking. Yeah, that's what alcoholics do.
Brett
Time for an intervention.
John Holmberg
Right. If you can't get through your work day without a couple fireballs.
Brett
Two a day after work, bro.
News Reporter
Pick me up. It's my five hour energy drink.
John Holmberg
It's not. It's the opposite of energy. It is not.
Brett
I take turns wide and it clanks in my car.
John Holmberg
Yeah, and I like drinking, too, but I don't have one in my pocket just in case things get hairy, that's alcoholism. If I start sweating or shaking and I have to reach in my pocket, good thing I came prepared. If you leave your house in the morning, keys, wallet, gum, fireball shooter, you're an alcoholic.
News Reporter
Does that do the white hands?
John Holmberg
He forgot your drinks. Oh, yeah. Thanks.
Brett
Does that dude's license plate read D N I A L?
John Holmberg
What is that Denial I see? Yeah, and usually your wife isn't handed to. She's the one that forced you into a lifestyle of baby bottles.
Brett
The one that drove you.
John Holmberg
She's the one who a she drove you to it, and then she told you she doesn't like how much you drink. So now you got to find ways around it. Baby bottles are for alcoholics also.
Brett
Homeburg. Not for nothing, but if you have to drink two fireballs after work, you're a pussy.
John Holmberg
Well, and now you're. Now there's real judgment. What's up, bro?
Podcast Announcer
I bet the empty pint in the car guy also listens to Slayer too. Now he's naked.
John Holmberg
Oh, he's an Indian. He's a native.
Brett
Look at Swipes.
John Holmberg
That is some passive aggressive racism right there. You're not wrong.
Podcast Announcer
But still, I get baby bottles. So there's no commitment to be a nasty alcoholic.
John Holmberg
How could you get yelled at by whoever you live with if they see real bottles?
News Reporter
Ugh.
John Holmberg
You people.
News Reporter
Volkswagen just debuted a new subscription plan for their electric cars.
John Holmberg
And when I say you people, I mean Indians.
News Reporter
They're making people pay extra to unlock a full amount of horsepower. It's only happening in the UK for right now, but the ID3 electric car has 228 horsepower. But if you pay the fee, which is about 20 bucks a month, you'll get that 228 horsepower. If not. Wait, it only has 201 horsepower.
John Holmberg
Who's doing this 27 horsepower through the computer stuff? Since I'll tell you this.
News Reporter
Volkswagen.
John Holmberg
Okay, I'll tell you not to do this for a reason. I had the pedal commander, which is a. An aftermarket thing you can attach to.
Brett
Your car or something.
John Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. And it basically takes your computer and amps up your horsepower. And it works. I will tell you. It absolutely works until it stops working. And then it just decides, I'm gonna drive for you.
Brett
What?
John Holmberg
And I was on the freeway and the car started going. I was on my way to Tactical Black. I had to call Jay. I'm like, I don't know what's going on. Car's doing what it wants, and I'm filming it. I took. My feet are off the gas. I was going 80 before I hit the brakes on the freeway driving Christine. Or I was driving Christine, and I hit the brakes and it would still fight. I'm breaking and I'm like, oh. And then it would stop. I'm like, okay. Then it just. So these. You toy around with this stuff. The computer gets confused. I have. And on the heels of that, my Jeep is right now at a dealership because of that. They told me a while ago, you did some damage with that thing. It jacks around with your whole. It's $6,000 I gotta replace. Oh, yeah, a lot. Because of that.
Podcast Announcer
Volkswagen's turning into a streaming service. Yeah, it's like it's a la carte everything.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
News Reporter
There's also an option of paying a one time fee of $880.
John Holmberg
Don't do it.
News Reporter
Volkswagen says the option keeps it unlocked even if you sell the car.
John Holmberg
Don't mess around with the computer. The way it's set up, it just causes nothing but trouble. Your car gets confused and it wrecks parts. It seems like a good idea to get a little more horsepower. And trust me, that pedal commander in sport mode, I don't know what we jumped up to, but it was probably close to a hundred more. It was hard to control the car because you're just not used to that kind of jump. But it wrecked a lot of stuff. It made me drink tiny little bottles while I was driving and left the car. I just let. Suddenly I had a Tesla. It was doing. It was driving itself. I tried to set the cruise control. Every light on the dash went, no, we don't know what that is anymore. We're doing what we want.
Brett
John. When they make it like candy, I mean, I like a little peanut butter, whiskey and some chocolate or 99 bananas and I'm full alcoholic, but 99 bananas.
John Holmberg
That'S that stuff at the desk.
Podcast Announcer
Some taste buds.
John Holmberg
That's the one with the fruit on the. And they're like the dollar.
Brett
It's like 100 proof.
John Holmberg
Oh, 99 bananas, that's.
News Reporter
You make bananas foster.
John Holmberg
All right, you buy anything? All right, you calm down. We got to keep you away from that stuff. If you buy any of the alcohol that's at the desk as you're checking out of the liquor store. You're an alcoholic, you're already at a liquor store. Why are you buying the little bottles?
News Reporter
We got a Florida man who was upset. Landscaper mowing the neighbor's lawn, making too much noise. The guy, his Name's Anthony Marzola, 51 years old. He was upset at the noise. He went to his car, pulled out a dagger, and went after the guy on the standing mower. Guy's name was Brian Hanson, not sure we know him. Went there with a dagger and he threatened to take his life unless he stops cutting the grass, making too much noise. He's charged with aggravated assault. Oh, and by the way, he was also fully decked out in a jester's outfit.
John Holmberg
Came over as a court jester. Yeah, I would. I would mow the grass every day.
News Reporter
Two together. Well, he Just left the Ren Fair.
John Holmberg
He worked at Bobby McGee's.
News Reporter
He's wearing a jester outfit in the middle of the day. It's likely it's a get up that's related to the operation that he's the manager of the psychedelic jester smoke shop. Probably at St. Petersburg.
John Holmberg
Pretty good detective work there.
Brett
They had him out front like the Statue of Liberty during tax time.
John Holmberg
So he kept the mask on too because court justice wear the big hat with the bells on.
News Reporter
Oh, yeah. He's got the whole. If you look at the guy, he looks like a jester to begin with. Even outside the I demand you stop.
John Holmberg
Playing this game with your lawnmower. Nobody loves that Charlie in the box. You look like Charlie in the box from the island of Misfit Toys. I would have my lawnmower going 24 hours a day and I'd have friends come out. Hey, Brett, come here. What? You're gonna mow the grass with me? Sounds terrible. I'm not doing. No, no. Wait till you see what happens. Oh, what is this cacophony? Ding, ding ding, ding, ding, ding, ding ding ding. Thief. What you're doing? The jester's out. I told you this would be awesome.
News Reporter
Did you see PETA's latest target? Their latest beef is with the video game Mario Kart.
John Holmberg
Okay, calm down. PETA.
News Reporter
They want Nintendo to remove turtles moo moo cows nose rings because they believe it's a sign of animal abuse.
John Holmberg
So there's gonna be kids who go out and like put nose rings in cows because of this. I think they're called farmers or Asians who have oxen.
News Reporter
Nintendo has not responded yet.
John Holmberg
Here's the. I don't know how PETA makes me hate animals. How does PETA go out of their way to make someone who loves animals so much make me want to be against them? Everything they do is annoying and awful. PETA calm down.
Podcast Announcer
They got start drinking shooters. And if I had to hang out with PETA.
John Holmberg
Oh, all day long. God. The nose rings on cows is a low level fight. Help out some real stuff. PETA and I don't. The cows are. I've seen women with those and they're. They don't seem like it's ruining their lives. Maybe the day it happens, the cow's like, what the is this? And then a couple days later my nose still hurts, but I'm okay.
Podcast Announcer
It's a goddamn video game.
John Holmberg
Yeah, and also pulling around a cow by a nose ring looks awful. Ever seen that?
Podcast Announcer
Unless it's 2am at the bar.
John Holmberg
Well, yeah, if you grab her off her stool and get her in the car. If you can stuff her in the car. Mind the baby bottles. Mind those. Look out. You gotta push those off the seat before you put your. Your ass in here. All right. Yeah, I guess that's what fat girls put it in for. So you can tug them home. Yeah. Follow me. You gonna hook up my nose thing? God, that would be funny if you had a little key clip. Just walked up to one of them coming home with me. Holmberg's morning sickness.

Former Russian Miss Universe contestant dies after an elk smashes through the windshield of her car. It was a Porsche Panamera. She was with her husband driving. Ksenia Alexandrova, 30 years old. Ended up dying of a head trauma. The elk went through the wind windshield. There on the K9 highway, there's a dog highway. K9. Yeah. Yeah. Here she is.
John Holmberg
Jesus, she's beautiful. The elk got her. Huh? Wait, she's a WNBA player's mother? No, that's what the headline says. Oh, no, that's a different headline. Exw. NBA player's mom dies in car Crash Involving Illegal Immigrant. Then that's just above the story of this hot rock.
News Reporter
She wasn't as pretty.
John Holmberg
We don't care about that. Yeah, we only covered. Pretty girls have been attacked by things that cross illegally. Elk, deer, Mexican.
Podcast Announcer
Putin should have brought her over. Oh, man.
John Holmberg
Yeah, for sure. That's Miss Russia.
Podcast Announcer
Yeah. Well, 2017, Miss Universe, I think.
John Holmberg
Still. What are we so mad at them for?
News Reporter
It's now possible to give yourself the flu vaccine at home. AstraZeneca's flu mist has been approved. It's a nasal spray.
John Holmberg
Don't get Dave Nash started on that stuff. By the way, this guy says, we drove my personal truck a few years ago after a weekend of hunting. We had shooters in the door, center console. Wife said I had a problem. I told her, we're drunks, we're not alcoholics. Back off. It's a good. Yeah, differentiate.
News Reporter
Finally, the World Humanoid Robot Games kicked off in Beijing with AI powered robots. It played soccer, kickboxing, track.
John Holmberg
See the one?
News Reporter
It's a video.
John Holmberg
The one that face plants. Oh, my God.
News Reporter
There's multiple.
John Holmberg
Couple of gems on there. They struggle getting up.
News Reporter
The. The other guy's running with the dude on the track.
John Holmberg
The soccer thing screws with your brain because it's moving around, and after a second, you're like. You know what it reminds me of? Like, in television? Like, you can tell it's soccer, but it's not quite Right. And it's moving. Or they had a stadium and all that. But the running track. Yeah, it looks okay. And then you're used to it, and now it's normal. The soccer game was so weird.
News Reporter
It's funny how they.
John Holmberg
Boxing. I didn't see boxing.
News Reporter
Oh, yeah. Watch this knockout.
Podcast Announcer
Oh, man, that's some Artario.
John Holmberg
That one ate it. And then when they get up, the other one just kicks him and then it falls. That one's gonna go, ah. That was me in the hotel at the Aria, learning how to stop gymnastics. Oh, yeah. Oh, his leg broke. Oh, he shattered his leg, the poor little guy. But by the way.
News Reporter
Yeah.
John Holmberg
I'll tell you this. That's the first time we've seen that. And I'm impressed.
Brett
Right?
John Holmberg
Imagine what that's going to be like in 10 years.
News Reporter
That's gonna be crazy in three months.
John Holmberg
Yeah, no, yeah, good point. That's a goal for you to stick around, Brady. Just check out.
News Reporter
Yeah, I want to see it.
John Holmberg
You eat healthier and you can see Robot Olympics. On the flip side, though, like you said, when I showed you that lady who just broke the record for largest lip fillers in the world and she put red lipstick on. And all the comments are like, fierce fire. The red is hot. This woman Brady even said, what planet am I on? I'm with you. I don't get it. But her lips are bigger than her face now, and she's. And people were like, this is awesome. You look great. She looks crazy.
News Reporter
So I want to stick her to a side of a shark. Yeah.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God.
News Reporter
Swim around the ocean.
John Holmberg
And even the other, like, lampreys would look at her like, what's going on with your lips? Little big for a Lamprey. Don't you think the. Maybe Brady's got the right idea. Maybe checking out about now is not such a bad idea. Just before it all goes crazy, just, you know what? Take the nap.
News Reporter
Got a couple more.
John Holmberg
Sleep. Sleep. I say it about my friend Kevin who ran in front of a cab and got killed. Maybe he was right.
News Reporter
This is a new, new one in the bull ring. You know, we've seen them where I have a bunch of people standing around. This one is the challenge. The bull.
John Holmberg
There's hundreds of people in the bull ring.
News Reporter
They're trying to get them to the.
John Holmberg
Bulls, kind of staring at him.
News Reporter
And so we got one guy that's gonna step out here and try to get things going. All right, there he goes.
John Holmberg
He's running right at the bull. And the bull's like, no, you're not just a chest at him. And he picks him up with a horn and chucks him.
News Reporter
He was trying to jump over him.
John Holmberg
I don't know what he was trying to do, but he did. He was a little off. Well, he got hit in the chest, so he didn't jump that high. He was trying to, like, spring over him. He just does the leap. And the bull's like, no, we're not doing that. Like, he almost. Like he leaped right into it. Now you're asking for it. Where are they? And kudos to the bull for keeping it so cool. There's.
Brett
You can't read the writing on the arena.
News Reporter
Miguel de la Cruz Assadorius Dump.
John Holmberg
Yeah, Espanol dump. Mexico or Central America or someplace.
News Reporter
Next one's for Brett. Oh, get your pasta served to you.
John Holmberg
Girl's got a, like a. Oh, she got like a wine glass. She just. Oh, she had a little. Oh, gross. Okay, so she had. Oh, come on, man. All right, I'll explain this. She's got a wine glass filled with spiral noodles. She's got some parmesan cheese on top of it. Turns it over. She undoes the glass, parmesan drops off. She shoots broccoli out of her mouth onto the. Onto the plate. Parsley. Parsley, whatever. And then fires some salt at it. It's all AI, but it's. Salt comes out of her nose. And you've got a. Delicious. It's not. Thank God, it's AI.
Brett
That's not AI.
John Holmberg
Yeah, you can't. You can tell when the parsley comes out of her mouth. Like, it. That's not. That's AI. I'm impressed, though, because it's getting to the point where nobody knows.
News Reporter
Next one is just a drop person.
John Holmberg
A couple. Oh, a couple dudes.
News Reporter
Gotta watch the guy from the side.
John Holmberg
Yeah, always. They're velociraptors in that country. The guy you think you're fighting, that's Africa. The guy you think you're fighting is not the guy you're fighting. The guy in the Buffalo Bills World Champions 1993 shirt is the guy you're actually needing to pay attention.
Brett
Like a double breasted coat.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it is over. That's right. Thank you. You're the Jim Lampley of Uganda. Thank you.
News Reporter
You're trying to stop somebody here on the last one from. From jumping.
John Holmberg
Oh, there's a guy. Oh, they failed. He jumped. He left a girl. Oh, yeah. She's totally nude. Is that a real person?
Brett
I don't know that we've seen other ones. That have made a bigger mess.
John Holmberg
That's a real person midway through. It looks like a big plastic person. That noise.
Podcast Announcer
Mannequin.
John Holmberg
Unmistakable, though. There's no blood.
Podcast Announcer
Like, yeah, there's. There would have to be.
John Holmberg
You'd think so. Nude.
News Reporter
I'm not seeing it.
John Holmberg
A lot of people running towards it.
Brett
Yikes.
John Holmberg
I don't like watching that, even though we watched it eight times. All right, Brett, what do you got?
Podcast Announcer
I got more goofy stuff than anything else.
John Holmberg
Keep it goofy. It's early in the week.
Podcast Announcer
Try this one. Things you see in the middle of the street.
John Holmberg
Oh, my God. A lady performing oral sex in the center lane of a. It says, this is how you mess up traffic. This is exactly how you f up traffic.
Podcast Announcer
What's your name?
John Holmberg
That's the biggest flex since the B2 went over Putin and Trump the other day. Asking a girl who is actually performing oral sex on you, what's your name? That's phenomenal.
Podcast Announcer
More signs in the street here.
John Holmberg
What is that? Oh, my God. That's a guy putting his digging in hand in another person's butt at a bus stop.
Brett
Male or female?
John Holmberg
That's a female, I think. He's laying across the bus stop and she's giving a moral. And then he put his hand at her behind and looked around for something. Jesus.
News Reporter
Starting off strong.
John Holmberg
Wacky stuff. What is this? Oh, all right, Okay. I know how this works. Sadly, I know it just happened. That's Snoop Dogg's butt. It's. It's somebody's B hole. And a man is performing gay sex on it to the best. And then when he pops out, all the smoke comes out because prior to that, they hot boxed his butthole. Sure, Birdie. You can put your phone down. You don't have to. You don't have to research that.
News Reporter
There's a broken from Brian.
John Holmberg
Don't Google that. Don't Google that. All right. Oh, we're going mountain biking. Oh, jump he goes. Oh, he front wheels it. Can't control it. Goes over the next and then goes face into the next.
Brett
Oh, that wasn't intentional.
John Holmberg
No, he lost control and was leaning forward. He needed to go back a little bit. Got on the front wheel after a jump and then hit the next jump and went face into the back of the wall. That dude definitely has spinal condition. All right, I'll save that. One more nudity. Okay, we're at the Eiffel Tower. There's a beautiful girl at the Eiffel Tower. She pulls a balloon down. She's got humongous breasts.
Podcast Announcer
That's the only reason.
John Holmberg
Bending over. I think she's gonna shoot a dart out of her butt at the balloon. At the Eiffel Tower. No fire. She just shot fire out of her bottom and blew up a balloon.
Brett
In.
John Holmberg
Front of the Eiffel Tower.
Podcast Announcer
But great cans.
John Holmberg
Everything about that was great for some reason. What? I need details. Like, that's like a magic trick. Am I not allowed to know how that works?
News Reporter
Okay, come on.
John Holmberg
This is a mentally challenged Asian person finally violently fiddling her bean on a subway. Is that a her? I don't know. I think so. Dude, it's working. Now the fiddling part is. I think that's a woman. That's not good for the community. What is going on? Pretty. All right. Oh, okay. We got somebody bent over a table and there's multiple hands going through something here where they're. They're removing something from behind a person. Is that a butt? It's like, got a rope on it.
News Reporter
Oh, a rat. Is that a rat or a mouse? Is it mouse? Yeah.
John Holmberg
Is that a mouse inside a man's butt? Who is screaming? What kind of hospital are we in? What is that out of there.
News Reporter
Why are you.
John Holmberg
What are you fiddling around with?
News Reporter
Opening it back up on the person.
John Holmberg
Is somebody having a. A cocktail with this?
Podcast Announcer
Looks like it's coming out of the belly button.
John Holmberg
It is the stomach. I can't tell if it was a bent over. It's a gut mouse. That's a thing.
News Reporter
Gut mouse.
John Holmberg
Gut mouse. A great bear. This isn't sanitary. There's somebody.
Podcast Announcer
And look at Dr. Patel with just no gloves, got his Rolex on.
John Holmberg
And the other person has a blue carousel going. They've got a grasshopper or something in there. Like somebody's drinking while this operation is happening.
Podcast Announcer
That's all we got.
John Holmberg
Holy smokes. Yeah. The world's coming to an end.
Podcast Announcer
Oh, thank God.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Brady, no anesthesia next week. Let's just go in dry and try to get you out of this mess. You don't need to stay anymore. You've been through enough. But a nice long run.
News Reporter
Naval rat comes out.
John Holmberg
Yeah. If they pull a rat out, too. It's just. I'm going to pillow you. There's no reason for this. You know what? Cancel the surgery. Just coast until this gets you. I think you're all right. I think getting out of this. I'm envious now of Brady's condition. It's 8:38. There you go, everybody. My God. So many questions. A. Why did you go that way to get the mouse out of your tummy. There's obviously a way in. Either swallowed it or stuffed it up something. It doesn't belong. It didn't burrow. So when you go through the other way. Of course, then again, you wouldn't have been doing it with a. At a bar. I'm throwing up.
News Reporter
It was on a dare.
John Holmberg
I guess you find the mouse, win a thousand dollars. I don't know how it works. That's it. There goes your Brady report. I'm gonna puke now. It's not weird.
News Reporter
It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fees.
Brett
I have heard enough of this.

Episode Date: August 18, 2025
Main Theme:
A comedic, occasionally biting review of the day's wildest stories—ranging from a teacher’s drunken escapade to an in-depth, oddly personal debate about airplane-sized booze bottles (a.k.a. “baby bottles”) and signs of hidden alcoholism, plus a parade of oddball news including a Florida man dressed as a jester, PETA versus Nintendo, bizarre viral clips, and more.
Hosts: John Holmberg (primary host), joined by Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo.
A Florida middle school teacher is found passed out in his car after lunch, surrounded by empty airplane-size booze bottles.
