Summary

Podcast Summary: Holmberg’s Morning Sickness – “WWBD - Lip Fillers, Boob Jobs & Forced Sobriety”

Date: August 18, 2025
Hosts: John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo
Main Segment: What Would Brady Do (WWBD)

---

Overview & Main Theme

This episode’s “What Would Brady Do” (WWBD) tackles two listener dilemmas rooted in intimate relationships:

1. A husband troubled by his wife’s escalating desire for plastic surgery (lip filler, eye lift, facelift, and more) and his role as the potential payer and voice of reason.
2. Another husband frustrated that his wife’s decision to quit drinking now requires him to also go sober out of “support.”

The show’s signature style is irreverent, candid, and humorous, with the hosts blending personal anecdotes, satire, and semi-serious advice.

---

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Plastic Surgery – When Is It Too Much? (segment begins ~02:20)

• Listener Question: His wife, age 36, wants a series of cosmetic procedures (lip fillers, eyelid/neck surgeries, possible facelift); he’s worried about the slippery slope and being the financial backer.
• Hosts’ Responses:
  • John Holmberg: Cautions that plastic surgery should be subtle. “When plastic surgery is good, you don't know they had it.” (05:42)
  • Brady: Agrees, quipping about extreme results: “She looks like one of those stress dolls you squeeze.” (02:49)
  • The group riffs on infamous examples (“Andrea Ivanova, world’s biggest lips”) and social validation online, noting how absurd aesthetics are bizarrely praised:
    • “All the comments on this are favorable… Beautiful. Unbelievable. Perfect lips. …Red lips are popping.” – John (03:34–04:00)
  • Discussion veers into how excessive surgery becomes a status symbol (“Now it seems like women do it like, look, I had work.” – John, 06:31).
  • Bret: Wonders if the wife is chasing a trend or genuinely needs it (06:01).
  • Brady: Offers limited legit reason: “For some people, it blocks their vision… that’s almost a medical procedure.” (06:28)
  • The hosts joke about the “balloon knot” look of overdone lips, the inability to cut back once started, and “domino effect” – one fix leading to more (09:37).
  • Key insight: Once procedures begin, it’s hard to stop:
    • “Once they start the fillers and Botox… it's hard not to start because if you feel good, it makes you feel good.” – Brady (10:01)
    • “It’s our job as men to go 'you’ve gone too far' and take the risk of being the dick.” – John (10:05)
  • Ultimately, they warn the listener to brace for more requests and to ask, "Who is talking her into all this? Check her friend group."
    • “Find out who the girl is that's talking her into this. The gaggle gets together.” – John & Brady (12:51)

2. Boob Jobs: The Acceptable Surgery? (13:41+)

• Jokingly, the hosts agree breast augmentation is where they’d draw the line financially:
  • “If your wife needs new cans, that’s the plastic surgery you’re willing to pay for, right? This lip thing, I don't get it.” – John (13:41)
• They also lampoon extreme results (“old Oldsmobile 570: old with five-year-old cans!” – 13:41, group laughter).

3. Forced Sobriety & Relationship Double Standards (15:23)

• Listener Question: Wife decides to quit drinking and expects husband to go dry too for “support.”
• Host Reactions:
  • John: Strongly defends autonomy: “A man should be able to come home to his house, pour himself a stiff drink after a hard day's work.” (16:30)
  • Brady: Pragmatist, says sometimes you adapt and overcome, but “it's willpower. …Drinking, you know, a person can, you know, like, if it's around there and they can't…” (17:52)
  • John: Argues it’s unfair for one partner to impose their choices because of personal struggle:
    • “Just because you've made this proclamation doesn't mean I can.” (18:21)
    • “You're just going to… what you're doing is creating a liar.” (18:50)
  • Brady brings up a useful check: “Would I do this to her?” (19:01)
• Memorable Bit: James Brown’s “It’s a Man’s World” is suggested as the theme song for men forced into these situations (20:20).
• Advice: The group advocates for discussion, boundaries, and not letting a partner’s self-improvement project become household policy.

Conclusion

The hosts dispense advice combining empathy, blunt honesty, and signature guy humor.

• Brady's Moderation Approach: “I always try to shoot for… moderation at first.” (14:51)
• Holmberg's Realism: “It's not gonna happen.” (14:57)

Ultimately, they tell the first listener to stay vigilant (“You’re gonna pay for it. You might as well break out your checkbook.” – Brady, 14:39) and the second listener to push back on forced logic—relationships require personal boundaries, humor, and the occasional “theme song” to keep perspective.

---

If you’re grappling with whether to sponsor a transformation or forced into a lifestyle change, Holmberg’s crew says: proceed with caution, assert yourself, and never underestimate the power of a well-timed James Brown track.

Well, now it's MMP Guns dot com.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, they have. Oh, that's right. It's their own thing. That's why, because I was saying my money pond. But you can go to momoney pond.com. i'm sure there'll be a link. Same place. Thank you. To them. Are you ready, Brady?

[Brady]

Ready.

[John Holmberg]

Only got a couple today and one came just a little bit ago. It says my wife. I just heard you mention the lip filler lady this morning. Yeah, I forgot her name. I think I have it in here. Her lips are ridiculous.

[Brady]

That picture you showed me just.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

I don't know if it looked.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's not human. Look real. Simply not human. Yeah. Oh, here she is. Look at this. How did I miss that? Where's she at? Damn.

[Brady]

It looks like she looks like one of those stress dolls. Dolls that you squeeze.

[John Holmberg]

She looks like. Yeah, it does. It looks exactly like that. It also looks like. Look at this, Brett, her name is. I'll tell everybody to go look at Andrea Ivanova. Brett, you do not. You do not have in your brain pictured the property like what you consider the biggest lips of all time. You would never imagine a woman did this to herself. Oh my God, that's her without the lipstick on. In this day and age, you'd think to yourself, everybody'd be like, okay, put her in a long jacket, cuz that's her with lipstick on.

[Host]

Jesus.

[John Holmberg]

And all the comments on this are favorable. I clicked on this because I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. The comments show up roses. You look gorgeous.

[Host]

Looks like a rosebud.

[John Holmberg]

Heart. Heart. Heart. Beautiful. Unbelievable. Perfect lips. Love the red. Most beautiful lips ever. Fire. Red is so hot. Your red lips are popping.

[Brady]

Yeah, they are.

[John Holmberg]

Red is a sexy color for nice big lips. Put some gloss on that. And glossy red too. These all broads, girls. If you want a man to stand at attention, that's how you do it. That's from Jack Tech Tips.

[Brady]

Of course.

[John Holmberg]

And this one says, check your private messages, baby. And then Finally, Debbie Morrison, 160 says, that looks disgusting. She's right. Charlotte says, you're right, that looks stupid. What's wrong with her then? Awesome. Red lips, hot tongue. I love you and I can't wait to pump you bigger. Yeah, that's what it is. But this lady is absurd. Look her up, Andrea Ivanova. Anyway, we talked about her world's biggest lips. And evidently that's a thing people are shooting for. I don't know. I missed the days when being a human being was the. Was nice. This one says, heard you mention the lip filler lady this morning. My wife wants to get her lips done and is talking about an eye lift and. Or a facelift. I'm all for some personal beautification, but I am the one who has to pay for this. And frankly, I told her not real sure I'm a fan of it. I don't like the big puffy lips, and most plastic surgery looks funny on people. She swears she's not going to overdo it. Then I saw her plans in her bedroom for a neck surgery and something called a lid lift. Oh, yeah, that's more eye work. She also has a friend who talked her into botox, but it made her one eye droop down like she was dying, so she's scared to do it again. She's only 36 years old. Is this something as the payer I should encourage or discourage Ryan?

[Brady]

Discourage?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you know, when plastic. Oh, completely agree. When plastic surgery is good, you don't know they had it.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

But if you notice plastic surgery and lips are the first one.

[Brady]

That's why you swing the other way. Now people want you to realize, oh, they had.

[Host]

What's this broad look like ahead of time? But does she look like a shar Pei? I mean, she may need that eyelid.

[Brady]

Well, the blepharoprasity plasti, I think they call it.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, what's that? Oh, that's the eyelid.

[Brady]

Yeah. Because if you have that overhang.

[John Holmberg]

Have you had that block?

[Brady]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, wow.

[Brady]

But I did work with a southwest eye center. They would do that.

[John Holmberg]

The southwest eye center did the one I went to a long, long time ago.

[Brady]

Long time ago.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady]

Got into that a little bit.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know that I like that kind of plastic surgery. Huh?

[Brady]

Yeah, because for some people, it blocks their vision.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, for. Yeah, for that kind of thing. That's different. That's almost a medical procedure more than it is a physical. Like, looks better. It does look better, though. 36 is awfully young. But Brett's right. Maybe she needs it. And. But you're right, Brady. It used to be you did surgery and people would guess whether or not you had work. Now it seems like women do it. Like, look, I had work, and they're doing it. The lips are the worst ones. Ladies, when you get your lips done, there's a. Here's a dead giveaway, and I don't know if they see it. There's a spot in the corner of your mouth that is where your lips just start. And it's in the wrong place. There's like a little piece of your lips that don't inflate. It's Like a balloon knot and it doesn't look right. And when you overdo your lips, you look crazy. And also you start flapping a little when you talk. I noticed. Yeah. The first few days. Yeah. He turned into. I just came to save you.

[Brady]

I gotta let him settle in for a couple of days.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Don't go to work for, like, do it on a Friday, but if you get it done on a Monday and you show up the next day, it's clear what just happened. You look crazy.

[Brady]

And the filler and Botox excitement.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah.

[Brady]

You want to look excited.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I like Botox. I've had that done. It makes me feel good. You don't.

[Brady]

When they do it to the point.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's different when they're freezing.

[Brady]

Look excited.

[Host]

You look like Reba McIntyre now.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Host]

Perma smile.

[John Holmberg]

Reba can't move.

[Host]

Oh, man.

[John Holmberg]

She's always looked like a. Like one of Jeff Dunham's puppets to me. She always has that weird. Like, she should have two lines drawn down like. Like those old mannequins. What are those things called? It's a mannequin or a dummy. What do they call them? What the dummies called? I can't remember the name of the puppet. Yeah. What are they called, though? Starts with them, doesn't it?

[Host]

Yeah, I can't think of it. Mana.

[John Holmberg]

Mana Shabbats. No, man of skin. Ah, yeah.

[Brady]

Ventriloquist has a marionette. Marionette.

[John Holmberg]

Marinettes are on strings. Marionettes are on strings.

[Brady]

I think it's a dummy.

[John Holmberg]

No, dummy works. It's a ventriloquist dummy.

[Host]

Depends on what she looks like. Dummy.

[John Holmberg]

Anyway, she's gonna look like that is what we're saying. Do you pay for that, though, or do you just pay for one? Pick the one you think she needs the most. Pay for that and tell her if you want anything else, get a job.

[Brady]

Doesn't some of that happen? But once. Once they start, like you start the fillers and Botox. I've never heard someone cut back from that.

[Host]

I always go too far.

[John Holmberg]

Most of the time when you're hearing about it, it's because they went too far. So there are women who have, like, cut back, I'm sure, who are like, I'm not doing this anymore. It's just a bad idea because they're the ones that didn't get crazy in the first place, but they saw it going down a bad path. So I think you only hear about, like, oh, it went crazy. Like, they always go too far. Here's One thing I do also know, women are never happy with it. Look at your wife's closet.

[Host]

Now, they're never.

[John Holmberg]

And count how many times they say they don't have anything to wear. Now imagine that's their face.

[Brady]

But once they start.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, it's.

[Brady]

It's on. It's an addition.

[John Holmberg]

That's my point.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

They say I don't have anything to wear, so they buy more clothes even though they got a full closet of them. So they'll look and go, oh, this didn't fit. Now my nose looks funny. So it's always going to domino into other stuff.

[Brady]

But I think once, you know, like you said, they start on those fillers and, and the Botox.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

It's hard not to start because if you feel good, it makes you feel good.

[John Holmberg]

Right. And it is our job as men to go you've gone too far and take the risk of being the dick. Like, your lips look crazy. We get excited when she comes home with inflatable doll lips for like a day or two and then you're like, this looks nuts. But you want to use them the first couple days. Not that big a difference.

[Geico Commercial Auto Insurance Rep]

I'm here on the job site with Dale, who's a framing contractor.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, good morning.

[Geico Commercial Auto Insurance Rep]

Dale traded up to Geico Commercial Auto Insurance for all his business vehicles. We're here where he needs us most.

[John Holmberg]

Yep, they sure are.

[Geico Commercial Auto Insurance Rep]

We make it easy for him to save on all his insurance needs, all in one place with coverage that fits his business and bottom line. Oh, I shouldn't have looked down.

[John Holmberg]

It's all right.

[Geico Commercial Auto Insurance Rep]

We're so far up here.

[John Holmberg]

Look at me. Take a deep breath.

[Geico Commercial Auto Insurance Rep]

I'm good. So good.

[John Holmberg]

Get a commercial auto insurance quote [e-mail] and see how much you could save. Get more with Geico Holmberg's morning sickness. So, yeah, I would say discouraged. There's the big lift lady next to a presenting baboon. I guess I don't know what that thing is, and it looks just like the ass of a primate trying to let the other primates know it's mating season. Her lips do look like over inflated bike tires that you turned pink and people think it's hot.

[Host]

Just go to Action Ride Shop and get those on.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, they wouldn't fit on most bikes. You got that 4 inch gap in your. Well, so to speak. Anyway, you say, do not encourage this, but you don't give them any advice on, like, would you let it? Would you pay for one? Well, like, what if her eyes are like goofy Droopy. You're like that. Yeah, that might look. Yeah, a little bit. Nothing wrong with that.

[Host]

But then you're a dick because then you're pointing out her flaw. Oh, so that's what's wrong with me, huh?

[John Holmberg]

Well, you got to dance around that and then she's going to want to do that thing, right? So. Okay, so what you have to do is pick the thing you want done the least and say, I'll pay for that.

[Co-host 1]

What's wrong with that?

[John Holmberg]

Like, oh, that's the one you need the most work on.

[Host]

Yeah, he's.

[Co-host 1]

You don't like my lips at all?

[John Holmberg]

No, you need, you need bigger lips. Like big time. They're awful.

[Co-host 1]

What about my eyes?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, don't touch those. Oh, really?

[Host]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Then she's going to do her eyes.

[Host]

Yeah, it's reverse psychology.

[Brady]

Guess what?

[John Holmberg]

They hate you.

[Brady]

Get your checkbook out.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You're gonna pay for it. You know, as much as you say.

[Brady]

No, it's not gonna happen. It's going to happen. They'll figure it out somewhere or another.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's fine as long as it's not. You're not. It's not cutting you 10 grand a time, you know, because it's not going to stop at I. And next thing you know, their neck like he said she would. Other two other things in her. She's got pamphlets all over the house.

[Brady]

Who's she hanging out with?

[John Holmberg]

Now there's another thing like find out who the girl is that's talking her into this.

[Brady]

The gaggle gets together.

[Co-host 1]

It's all right, you just start doing. Just get a little work done on your chin so you don't have that waddle. No girl shouldn't have a waddle.

[John Holmberg]

And the next thing I know, she's getting her neck done and her ears are behind her head and she looks like a pin cushion or a voodoo doll. She's getting. Her forehead's getting bigger like, what's going on?

[Brady]

Walk around the Biltmore.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's so fun to walk at the biltmore and see 80 year old arms. 80 year old arms and 48 year old faces.

[Brady]

Fascinating.

[John Holmberg]

Their necks are all wobbly and wrinkly, but their faces are tight as a snare drum.

[Host]

You got the 570s, five year old cans, 70 year old body.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she's like an old Oldsmobile. It's an old mobile 570. What does that mean? She's old and she's got five year cans. Warranty on. That's pretty good. Cans are fine. Go put in the cans. They've pretty much mastered that. So if your wife needs new cans, that's the plastic surgery you're willing to pay for, right? This lip thing, I don't get it. Especially if you didn't have lips before. And that goes for ladies who didn't have breasts. If you've got a really flat chest and you go have implants put in, do it tastefully. Otherwise it looks like they shoved a couple of softballs into your chest and it looks funny. You gotta have a little meat there and then just add meat. It's like what Brady does to a burger.

[Co-host 1]

This could use one more patty.

[John Holmberg]

Just a little bit more rounded out, but nothing to something with lips and breasts. Horrible butts, too, when they do those bbls. Hilarious.

[Brady]

I think those are going down.

[John Holmberg]

Thank God. Yeah. So Brady says, you're gonna pay for it. You might as well break out your checkbook. So you say, go ahead, encourage away.

[Brady]

And I would encourage. I always try to shoot for, like, anything. Moderation at first.

[John Holmberg]

Not gonna happen.

[Brady]

I know, but you can only try.

[John Holmberg]

What would you get done on Matthiah?

[Host]

Nothing.

[John Holmberg]

That's perfect answer. The best lie going. Of course they're perfect. As we see.

[Host]

Absolutely.

[John Holmberg]

But if she said, I want to get, like, size Cs, you'd be like, oh, okay, whatever you want to do.

[Host]

You paying for him.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's. That's a strong Italian right there. Because I would have already written half that check. Would have been like, who I make this out to. Dear Brady, the wife and I drink, and now she wants to quit. And she said that she's going to quit starting Monday, meaning today. And if she quits, I have to. All the liquor has to get out of the house because she wants to get healthy. Why the f do I have to quit? She said it's me being supportive. When does this end? What would Brady do? Jason Clizzen. There's no way that's your real last name. She's got to quit. So you got to quit. That happens with food. With women a lot too. I had a friend whose wife got healthy with food, and his house was just all gluten free grains and weird stuff where it used to be food. Like they had actual food in the house. Your house.

[Brady]

But it's like, you know, you turn into a marine kind of that you adapt and overcome those situations.

[John Holmberg]

You just find ways to drink without her.

[Brady]

Fine.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, baby bottles. We're back on the baby bottles.

[Brady]

But it only helps, like, you know.

[John Holmberg]

I disagree. A man should be Able to come home to his house, pour himself a stiff drink after a hard day's work if he wants to. And if she's got to stop drinking, she needs to show a little willpower, right? I mean, there's a vagina in the house all day long. Doesn't mean it's yours all the time. You got to show some control. You can't just go to, you know, attack City constantly. You got to show some willpower. Even though you want it, can't have it all the time. So you gotta, you know, be smart.

[Host]

This guy's gonna have many bottles all over.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he's gonna be covered in many bottles.

[Host]

Nothing but fireball, little shooters.

[John Holmberg]

Take a stand.

[Brady]

If it's that bad, I'd be.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it's not bad. Nobody's saying.

[Brady]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

She just wants to be healthy.

[Brady]

Okay. Just the fact that it's around.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. She's like, if I gotta quit drinking, we can't. Yeah.

[Brady]

It's like a drinking problem.

[John Holmberg]

If Ronnie says, no more meats in the house.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You're like, what the hell do I have to quit for? Now, obviously, right now, she's probably. That would be a right thing. But let's say you're in a normal medical condition and she takes away meats or disconnects the grill. No more grilling. I don't want it. Why do you have to not do it? Because she can't control herself in the house.

[Brady]

It's a slightly inconvenient for the time being, but I have access to many.

[John Holmberg]

Seven Brothers is right down the road. I know. We all have access to other stuff.

[Brady]

It's called willpower. It depends on what it is. Like, you know, you're asking me, so drinking. Well, drinking, you know, a person can't, you know, like, if it's around there and they can't.

[John Holmberg]

But you don't drink, and Ronnie does. But if you said, no drinking in this house anymore because I don't want it, she'd be like, screw you. I'm an adult. I can do what I want. That's wrong.

[Brady]

It is interesting how it works. It just. I'm sorry. It just doesn't work that way.

[John Holmberg]

But that's not fair.

[Brady]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

And so say so. If your wife's trying to put her foot down because she doesn't want chocolate in the house anymore, and you happen to like it, and you can control yourself, and she can't say, all right, well, you need to understand that chocolate exists in this world and I enjoy it. Just because you've made this proclamation. Doesn't mean I can.

[Brady]

How long. How long do you want to do this?

[John Holmberg]

Where is this? Forever.

[Brady]

Does this mean, like, you don't want me to drink around you? Is that the main reason? Because it'll upset you that I'm enjoying myself?

[John Holmberg]

That's really the big thing, is how can you do that in front of me? Like, people who try to quit smoking and they make the person who doesn't want to quit keep doing it. You're just going to. What you're doing is creating a liar.

[Brady]

And those situations I kind of go into. I answer that question that the wife is asking him to do. It's like, would I do this to her? What I asked right this.

[John Holmberg]

And that's the kind of.

[Brady]

And if I. If. If the answer is yes, then okay. But if you're saying no, I wouldn't do that to my. I wouldn't make my wife have to do this.

[John Holmberg]

The flippity flop for me is always the thing that makes the argument easy. And it really doesn't have any bearing of going. Would if we flipped roles, would this. It doesn't matter. Like, those things. Those aren't real. But the problem is, to me is that, like, remember our buddy Doug who worked here? And his wife said, you and he. She was right. He had, like, stuff that when he ate wrong, his stomach went sideways. Crazy. And so he lied to her. She created a liar. He'd come to work with McDonald's all the time. She'd pack him some beautiful lunch. He had like, an egg McMuffin or something. This is a long time ago. He's over this. But remember that.

[Host]

How'd you know?

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah. You know what? Maybe started telling me some tales, but fact of the matter was she was dictating how the food was going to be in his life. And he's like, it's not that big a deal to me.

[Brady]

She's trying to help him.

[John Holmberg]

So she cracked down at home saying, this is the way it's going to be. And he's like, no. So what you did was create a really good liar. And then you're gonna catch him in lies and be mad at him for that. But you made it.

[Host]

But this guy said it wasn't a problem, so it shouldn't matter.

[John Holmberg]

He should be able to drink all he wants.

[Host]

He should walk in with this playing on the stereo as soon as he walks in the door.

[John Holmberg]

Damn right.

[Co-host 1]

This is a man's world.

[John Holmberg]

What if she counters with the Beyonce women? We own this mother. They just turn it up. I guess just get around trying to compare Beyonce to James Brown. That's right.

[Co-host 1]

There's a man.

[John Holmberg]

I think we should all say that. If you're in the middle of a fight with a woman. And she starts now.

[Co-host 1]

From here on out, no more beer in the house. There's a man's work. What? You just say there's a man.

[Host]

Preach on, brother. James.

[Co-host 1]

Did you just sing to me? Oh, you're just. There's no talking to you. There's a man.

[John Holmberg]

She'd storm off.

[Brady]

How long do you want to stop this dream? I want to do it for three months. I'll see you in 90 days.

[Co-host 1]

Don't you do it. Don't you do it.

[John Holmberg]

Don't make me do it.

[Co-host 1]

Don't you do it. I swear to God.

[John Holmberg]

I know. We gotta go. I got excited about that. Have it on your phone at all times.

[Co-host 1]

And from now on, no sugar or sweets in the house. I hate you and James Brown.

[John Holmberg]

Give me a little knee, bitch.

[Co-host 1]

Make it chocolatey, sugar and sweet. No, it's mad web, anyway.

[John Holmberg]

All right. Sorry, Toledo. Stop staring at me. There you go. That, my friends, is what Brady did. And it's a man's world. We solved another problem. Damn right. It's 98. It's not weird.

[Brady]

It's pretty cool, actually.

[John Holmberg]

No membership fees. I've heard enough of this.

[Co-host 1]

Oh, what you eating?

[Brady]

The new banana split cookie from AM pm All freshly baked with real butter with banana, chocolate and strawberry flavors.

[Co-host 1]

Wow, that sounds amazing. Can I have a bite?

[Brady]

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

[Co-host 1]

Not even a little?

[Brady]

Not even a crumb.

[Co-host 1]

What if.

[Brady]

No, please.
