Brady
98, the year of P.
Doug Holmberg
Frank Gallando's here, everybody. Look at that. Frank just showed up to sell tickets to his show tonight. Finally. It's here.
Frank Caliendo
Yeah, it's. I'm back. I didn't realize I was here. I didn't realize I was here. No, I. Well, last time I was at the Desert Ridge Improv was in Late January. I'd forgotten it was so.
Doug Holmberg
That's right.
Frank Caliendo
Such a quick reason.
Doug Holmberg
All new material.
Frank Caliendo
There's some. There's some.
Doug Holmberg
No, no, no. Almost new setups because, you know, watch.
Frank Caliendo
Lines are the same.
Doug Holmberg
It's. If you have never seen it, it's all new material.
Frank Caliendo
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Doug Holmberg
That's right.
Frank Caliendo
But I had to be here for Brady's final show.
Doug Holmberg
That's right.
Frank Caliendo
I wouldn't miss it for the world. But I almost missed it for dog grooming appointments.
Doug Holmberg
Go on, Frank. Tell us more about Brady's final show dedication.
Frank Caliendo
Listen, when I. The first time I ever came into the studio with you guys, I am. I immediately noticed your talent.
Doug Holmberg
John, thank you very much for that. Appreciate that.
Frank Caliendo
A few years later, I realized Brady was part of the show.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah.
Frank Caliendo
Not just a producer.
Doug Holmberg
That's right. He wasn't just a guest too. No.
Frank Caliendo
I did think he was just stopping in and selling advertising or like a.
Doug Holmberg
Make a wish or something.
Frank Caliendo
That's what I think now.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, okay. 20, 25 years later, you're like, maybe he's a make a wish.
Frank Caliendo
This is just a make a wish.
Doug Holmberg
But it's going really well.
Frank
It's.
Frank Caliendo
Well, it went well for one of the parties.
Doug Holmberg
Well, sure. Quarter century of making that wish and that wish would never die. And now this.
Frank Caliendo
This.
Doug Holmberg
This music making me tear up a little bit. Beautiful crowd.
Brady
The.
Frank Caliendo
Can you give me Cats in the Cradle?
Doug Holmberg
You wanna. Oh, that's. Think of him as a father. He's my father.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
This is like a reverse Darth Vader. You are his father.
Frank
There's something I wanted to tell you for.
Doug Holmberg
Somebody just text me and asked a great question. If Hitler was still alive and was a match, would you take his kidney?
Frank Caliendo
Don't say nein.
Brady
Nein.
Doug Holmberg
You would take Hitler's kidney? Yeah. Really?
Brady
Why wouldn't you?
Frank Caliendo
You would, right?
Doug Holmberg
I think I have Hitler's kidney on my mantle at home.
Frank Caliendo
I think that's a band.
Doug Holmberg
Hitler's kid Sydney is. Oh, my God. I think it's a good beginning.
Brady
Right?
Doug Holmberg
Write that down. Is there any person. Is there any person who, like. Would you take like one of the Harbaughs? Like Jim Harbaugh's kidney?
Frank
Sure.
Doug Holmberg
Would you take Ryan Day's kidney?
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
No kidding. You take from the thing you love instead.
Frank Caliendo
What about the kidney of the mascot of the Michigan Wolverine?
Brady
Yes. Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Well, see, that's. That's cutting into them. I think that makes more sense. You take a kidney from anybody.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Where's Kirby?
Frank
She still doesn't want to Give me.
Doug Holmberg
If you talk to her about it at all. Take back the poster she didn't want. Like she's just walking on eggshells around you right now. That's hoping you don't even not bring.
Frank Caliendo
It up in the same room at any time.
Doug Holmberg
She didn't once say, you want one of mine? I'm young, I'm strong.
Frank
No, not yet.
Doug Holmberg
But I don't.
Frank
Yeah, I don't.
Frank Caliendo
Wait.
Doug Holmberg
You're holding out for that. We're getting a little closer. Yeah. Talk.
Brady
Yeah.
Frank
I'm giving it up to her. I'm not asking her.
Doug Holmberg
You haven't even. You haven't even looked at her and gone.
Brady
Ah, I'm back.
Doug Holmberg
Anyway, I. I gotta believe it's constant.
Frank Caliendo
I gotta believe that's happening.
Doug Holmberg
All the constant.
Doctor
I gotta lay down because of the failing kidneys that nobody's helping with.
Doug Holmberg
There isn't any passive aggressive. How you doing your back? Good. How's your urine flow?
Frank
I might have made a couple of.
Brady
Cut.
Doug Holmberg
And they just. And Kirby just goes.
Ronnie
Kirby, man.
Doug Holmberg
And walks out of the room. We've made Kirby. Jeff Daniels. He's the dude. Because she's a stoner and he won't admit it.
Brett Vesely
She's changed so much over the years.
Ronnie
I don't know what's going on with the dad there.
Frank Caliendo
Maybe like just. You leave hints. Like some kidney beans just laying around.
Doug Holmberg
Just trails.
Frank
That's a good idea.
Brett Vesely
Kidney bean salad for dinner tonight.
Doug Holmberg
Aren't we cutting it off of clothes like we got.
Frank
Operation day's the 26th.
Doug Holmberg
Tuesday.
Frank Caliendo
How long will you be in the hospital? What's Kirby going to be doing this at a hospital?
Doug Holmberg
Yeah. No, he's a daisy home. Yeah, he's doing the diy. Save some money. What do you.
Frank Caliendo
Where's crazy if somebody was going to try and save money on their kidney operation.
Doug Holmberg
It's great.
Doctor
What's that going to run me there, Doc? Typical Dr. Rosenstein.
Doug Holmberg
And Kirby's doing the appropriate thing on your surgery day.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
What is.
Frank
She'll be around for the surgery part and then Pantera that night.
Doug Holmberg
Going to a concert or you're laid up with one less kidney.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
She hates you.
Ronnie
Hey, man, you only get to see Pantera once a lifetime, man.
Doug Holmberg
Come on, man.
Ronnie
I gotta go to the show.
Frank
That's her.
Ronnie
It's always about you, man.
Frank Caliendo
How long are you in for?
Frank
That's probably overnight.
Frank Caliendo
That's it?
Brady
Sure.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, it's a couple days.
Frank
Usually you would be.
Doug Holmberg
They probably days.
Frank
It could be a second day. They said for sure. A Day. But normally that procedure. You can go. You don't have to stay overnight sometimes. They want me standing.
Doug Holmberg
That is not an outpatient surgery. Kidney removal.
Frank
I heard they.
Doug Holmberg
You're not having ingrown toenails done.
Brett Vesely
You know, I mean, Jesus.
Doug Holmberg
What I heard.
Frank Caliendo
Those are never the things.
Doug Holmberg
That's what I heard. That's what I heard. I don't know. You could leave if you want that day. You'd be crazy. And we'd probably have to send a team after idea, but. Well, then I mine.
Frank
The reason only you know, from what the doctor told me is if your kidney. If you have one bad kidney and the other one is good.
Doug Holmberg
It isn't.
Frank
But I have polycystic.
Doug Holmberg
You have bad kids, you have the bad.
Frank
They want to make sure it's functioning at the level it needs to be.
Doug Holmberg
And that's not going to be like one test. They're going to keep you at least overnight.
Frank Caliendo
I gotta believe they're testing to see if you're human first.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah. See if gravy's in there.
Frank
They'll know when they open.
Doug Holmberg
Read what you found immediately.
Brett Vesely
Hospital stay after kidney removal range from one to seven days.
Doug Holmberg
All right, so pipe down. I can leave the same day.
Frank Caliendo
Bmi.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, no, it's going to be there for years.
Frank
Patients who have undergone the keyhole surgery. Laparoscopic surgery can often have a shorter hospital stay.
Doug Holmberg
Right. Between one and seven days.
Frank
One to three days.
Doug Holmberg
That's right. You can't leave the same day. If I see you in your gown and your. I'm just wandering away.
Doctor
Doc says you got to keep me moving.
Frank
I got my coffee filter for the kidney.
Doug Holmberg
Can we get. But let's get back to the fact that Kirby's going to a concert that night and never once you guys have even had the conversation where she goes.
Ronnie
Not gonna do it, old man. You're on your own.
Frank
No, I gave her a little guilt trip on.
Doug Holmberg
Of course.
Frank
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
And she's still like, ha ha ha ha.
Ronnie
You're hilarious.
Frank
Yeah, that's good stuff.
Ronnie
Two for Bantera, please. We'll get to it, man.
Doug Holmberg
So I thought about it a little bit, but taking. Taking her in her sleep.
Brady
No.
Frank
And I thought, you know what?
Frank Caliendo
Shutting her up in a bathtub.
Doug Holmberg
I want her to go to. Put her in a bucket of ice. Of course you want her to go to the show.
Frank
There's not much she can.
Doug Holmberg
What do you want, her kidney or her with Ron Wolf. Oh, David, you should be with your dad.
Ronnie
Hey, man, I love to be with him. The hospital's got this. What am I, a doctor, man?
Frank
I want her to do that.
Ronnie
The dude abides, man. We're good.
Doug Holmberg
You want her to do that? You'd rather do that than get a fresh, healthy teenage kidney? You're crazy.
Frank
Well, I can't take that healthy kidney right then and there.
Doug Holmberg
You're her father. You can do whatever you want. That's right.
Frank
Then it doesn't matter.
Doug Holmberg
Brought you into this world. I'll take you out. I brought your kidneys here. I can bring them right out.
Frank
And if that's what happens, your kidney.
Frank Caliendo
Here, his name is Paul Ro.
Doug Holmberg
That would be fun. Make a little number out of it.
Ronnie
Hey, man, you're talking me into it.
Doug Holmberg
There's a sign that says, and Ronnie doesn't want to even test to see if she can give you one.
Frank
Hasn't said anything.
Doug Holmberg
So it's come down to us.
Frank
Like we've gone down to that.
Doug Holmberg
How has that conversation not happened?
Frank Caliendo
He's a giver, not a tape.
Doug Holmberg
It happened with us the first day. I'm not giving you my kidney. That was the first thing I said.
Brady
Do you?
Frank Caliendo
Are you?
Doug Holmberg
I believe I said, I love you, Brady. I'm hoping for the best. You can get anything you want from me. Except the kidney.
Frank
I think they're just afraid to say that.
Doug Holmberg
That they don't want to get similar to you. Yeah, I'm not.
Frank
I'm saying, like, they're not gonna. They're just kicking it down the road.
Doug Holmberg
They're kicking the can until we.
Frank
Let's just say I'm not gonna give you a kidney.
Frank Caliendo
Then do you start bargaining? What would you give me?
Doug Holmberg
Right. Would you give Ronnie a kidney if the roles were reversed?
Brady
No.
Frank
No way.
Doug Holmberg
I think you would. You're one of those. You're a good man. I'd give Ronnie.
Frank
Crawley.
Doug Holmberg
Give Ronnie. I'd give Ronnie.
Frank Caliendo
You would give it to her, but not him.
Doug Holmberg
Well, come and I know she's going to treat it right after I give it to her. He's going to pour salt on it.
Doctor
I'm feeding it pizza directly. Correct.
Doug Holmberg
I got a port, that is. I asked for a pizza for dialysis.
Doctor
No, it's for pizza to the kidney.
Frank
Pizza.
Doctor
Kidney's hungry, isn't he? Nom, nom, nom for kidney.
Doug Holmberg
You'd be shoving pepperoni like Cookie Monster.
Doctor
Look at him go.
Frank
There's a pizza filter that they're going to put in there.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Every morning we'd be sitting here doing the show if Brady had my kidney. And you'd see it Slinking across the thing to try to get back and make.
Doctor
Get back here, you little jokester. He must be hungry.
Doug Holmberg
Anyway, sorry, Frank. You've been here for all of it. But I love it. Yeah, I think it's fun. And you know what? I may need you starting pray for Brady.
Frank Caliendo
We're gonna have. We're gonna start with a hymn.
Doug Holmberg
Jackass is acting like he's getting a root canal.
Doctor
They told me I could leave same day.
Doug Holmberg
You're missing an organ.
Frank
Hey, doc, I'm ready to go thumbs.
Gogo Squeeze Announcer
Up on this whole deal.
Doug Holmberg
You won't even be like, it took 24 hours for me to have all the. The drugs out of my system in 24 hours.
Frank
Maybe. What do you.
Frank Caliendo
Maybe overnight.
Brady
Yeah.
Frank Caliendo
What do you.
Brady
You.
Doug Holmberg
You're gonna be there for a couple days getting clear that.
Frank Caliendo
Hey, are we taking bets on this?
Doug Holmberg
48 hours. Hey, jackass, you should want to be in the hospital for a couple of days to make sure everything's all right.
Frank
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.
Doug Holmberg
You said you wanted to leave the same day.
Frank
You know, they talk about it.
Doug Holmberg
You're not taking this very seriously at all. This is.
Frank
Why would I.
Frank Caliendo
You stay.
Doug Holmberg
You're a moron.
Frank Caliendo
You stay. You stay because they need to monitor you for sure. That's really what it is.
Doug Holmberg
It's a big deal. You got a cruddy kidney remaining. They have to make sure that that thing doesn't just immediately die.
Frank
It's at 9% function.
Frank Caliendo
Karate.
Doug Holmberg
Kidney. Kidney, yeah. It's the Ralph Macchio of kidneys. It does the crane to the heart, sweep the leg. You have high blood pressure. You have issues with that. They're going to be monitoring you for a couple of days.
Frank Caliendo
What's your normal blood pressure?
Doug Holmberg
He doesn't know.
Frank
180 over 110.
Doug Holmberg
That's normal? No, no.
Frank
148. 86.
Doug Holmberg
That is with pills. That's with pills. That's not normal blood pressure.
Frank
Yeah, I usually don't take my blood pressure. Not on pills.
Doug Holmberg
Right, because you'd be dead. So your normal blood.
Frank
That's a good chance.
Doug Holmberg
My point being this surgery. You have high blood pressure.
Frank Caliendo
What's your A1C? Syrup. That's what mine is.
Doug Holmberg
You have high blood pressure, too?
Frank Caliendo
Yeah, I have high, but I couldn't do one of my oral surgery because.
Gogo Squeeze Announcer
It was so bad.
Frank Caliendo
It was 236. Holy 135. And the oral surgeon looked at me and said, that's a draft to leave.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
To the hospital.
Brady
Yeah.
Frank Caliendo
He said, you have to go to the hospital. Which I think they have to say. And he goes, listen, I can't do this because. And he's very funny. He's like, I can't do this because I. I don't want to be in the newspaper. I don't want to be the guy who killed you.
Doug Holmberg
Like Hulk Hogan's doctor.
Frank Caliendo
And he's actually coming to the show.
Doug Holmberg
One of the shows this week, in case you fall.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
He's like, there it is.
Frank Caliendo
Whatever.
Doug Holmberg
Like the. Like the Wimbledon ball boys. In case you drop. He's got to go fix you and put you there.
Frank Caliendo
Run back, run out there.
Doug Holmberg
Here's a guy went out for a few seconds. Hey.
Brady
Boom. Yeah. Boom. Literally. Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
All right. Well, Brady, we're all. You know, Frank wanted to come in one last time.
Frank
I know. It's the only reason.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, no, no. To promote his show and. And also to talk to you about this, but.
Frank Caliendo
And we are going to be doing. We're going to be. Do a GoFundMe.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah. People in the audience would get pretty. For Kirby.
Frank Caliendo
No.
Doug Holmberg
For more. To travel with better Pantera tickets.
Ronnie
Hey, man, that'd be great.
Frank Caliendo
We're gonna.
Ronnie
I'd like to see him up in San Fran. I hear that show spectacular, man.
Frank
Traveling limo.
Ronnie
Yeah, man, I'm in. Hey, you guys want to stop by the hospital? I think I know somebody in there, man.
Doug Holmberg
It's John Holberg 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.
Frank
As is.
Doug Holmberg
You don't have to do anything. The deal is over. So all you got to do is start the process online@doug hopkins.com or sing Hopkins 1-800-sale now.

Gogo Squeeze Announcer
Basketball game. Crushed it and the day's just getting started. Now kicking it with my crew when I need a quick snack.
Doug Holmberg
Go, go.
Gogo Squeeze Announcer
Squeeze active fruit blend with electrolytes. Pouches are always in the starting lineup. Made with real FR and select electrolytes and so tasty from workouts to hangouts to whatever's next. I go with gogo. Squeeze active. Snag yours on your next store run. Available on Amazon.
Doug Holmberg
Holmberg's morning sickness. Yeah, I just find that shocking that you guys at least haven't had the conversation, like, sit around the table and go, that's pretty big deal. Your dad would have taken your kidney. Or Rocco or Terry.
Frank Caliendo
Rico, my brother.
Doug Holmberg
I said Rocco the dog. I said Rocco meaning Rico. You're right. I got him.
Frank Caliendo
I get the same. I have the same confusion. One does the books and the other.
Doug Holmberg
One is your brother. I think Rico is.
Frank Caliendo
Would my dad. Yeah, my dad would try and find a way to finagle it.
Doug Holmberg
He'd at least ask, right?
Frank Caliendo
Every day.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah.
Frank Caliendo
He'd bring friends to ask.
Doug Holmberg
My dad would say things like, I. I know that it. You probably would do this, but I would never ask you for a kidney despite mine failing.
Frank
So if you needed a kidney, would you ask that of Megan?
Doug Holmberg
Hells yeah. Yeah, you better give it to me. She's oski.
Frank
Okay.
Doug Holmberg
Hells yeah. And I think she'd be quick to go, here's one of mine. I'd take that little baby girl kidney in there.
Brady
Oh, yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, hot, sexy. I'm on a pornhub, baby girl. Can anybody.
Frank Caliendo
I've seen it. It's. It's not as good.
Doug Holmberg
You've seen her kidneys?
Frank Caliendo
No, not hers. But I've seen that porn.
Brady
Yeah.
Frank Caliendo
The kidney stuff, and it's not that great. It's not what you think.
Doug Holmberg
It's on black.com where they go in with a camera on the tip of the penis and it gets all the way to the kidney.
Frank Caliendo
Is that a real thing?
Doug Holmberg
Blacked dot com you're just now learning about?
Frank Caliendo
No, I think you've told me about it before. Or even if you haven't, I don't want to hear more.
Doug Holmberg
Anytime when you black logs and these hot white chicks.
Frank Caliendo
Anytime when you say you haven't heard about fill in the blank yet. I know it's something I shouldn't know anything about.
Brett Vesely
Wait for today's videos.
Doug Holmberg
Do you want to give? Friday videos are the best. Do you want to give? I'll ask you because he won't. We want to give Freddie a kidney. You guys are the same shape.
Frank Caliendo
No.
Doug Holmberg
Okay.
Frank Caliendo
I gotta save it.
Doug Holmberg
I tried. For your kids.
Frank Caliendo
For my kids.
Doug Holmberg
Just in case you give your kids. Would Joey give you a kidney? Probably right away.
Frank Caliendo
Oh, no, I think there'd be a lot of.
Frank
And would you ask him? But would you ask him now?
Frank Caliendo
Honestly, I'd want to just go.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah. See, that's how I would want to be.
Brady
Like.
Doug Holmberg
It's all right. Nobody needs to wait.
Frank Caliendo
Everybody, I got I sa. Money for all of you. Yeah, you're all set.
Brady
You're good.
Frank Caliendo
This is a free pass.
Doug Holmberg
You and I have a very similar take on that, and we're both fine with it. I'd be the same if somebody said, here, we got a kidney for you. We're gonna put it in there. Like, all right, yeah.
Frank Caliendo
They don't.
Doug Holmberg
But I'm not gonna search for one.
Frank
They also. I mean, they also know that there's been three or four people that have. Have offered already.
Brady
Who?
Frank
My brother, my sister.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, and you're not taking them?
Frank
Not yet. I gotta get through this first thing.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, I thought you could do it all at once.
Frank
No, I don't think you have to go.
Doug Holmberg
You didn't ask that question.
Frank
What's that?
Doug Holmberg
Can we do this all in one shot? If I get a kidney, I can't. Okay.
Frank
So I have to wait six months.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, you do? Yeah, to make sure you're still clear. Valuable.
Frank
I would. I mean, yeah. Take that one out.
Doug Holmberg
Put the new one in anyway. Brett's not going to do it. I'm not going to ask him.
Brady
No? No.
Doug Holmberg
Not even a thought. All right, it's time for the Brady report. Maybe the last one. We'll miss you, buddy.
Ronnie
We love.
Doug Holmberg
This is a big deal. And if I see you wandering around same day, I'm going to kick your ass right in the kidney.
Frank Caliendo
I'll tell you what.
Brady
You.
Frank Caliendo
I mean, you look great.
Doug Holmberg
Frank, don't. Don't do that. He doesn't need that right now.
Frank
You know what's good was when you walk into the hospital, like, doing the pre check stuff like, I had to go in, get a cardiogram the other day, and there's the person out by the trees outside the hospital just smoking away.
Brady
Sure.
Doug Holmberg
He knows he's got a tough Day.
Frank
Every day I've gone in there.
Frank Caliendo
Can I. Can I ask what. And you guys probably have addressed this, or maybe you're not supposed to, but. What happened to the forehead? What happened to your.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, he cut it on a tree this morning.
Frank Caliendo
That was this morning.
Doug Holmberg
He ran into a tree. I left the mic stand under the tree and he sees shiny things. He ran to it and hit the tree branch. And that guy was out of the car.
Frank
And here's this shiny mic stand.
Doug Holmberg
Ow.
Brady
Yeah.
Frank Caliendo
You know what's really pathetic? I walked into a tree the other day and had a leaf on my head for half a day. And nobody in my family told me.
Doug Holmberg
Why are you guys? Is that a thing of high blood pressure? You just wander into trees? I like the thought of short people. Cardiogram Brady had to walk into. And the guy's out there.
Frank
Don't do it.
Doug Holmberg
All right, Tony, fire up the Brady cardiogram. Here we go.
Brady
It's overheating.
Doug Holmberg
It's just all these old machines.
Doctor
Only cost 100 bucks.
Doug Holmberg
It's time for the Brady report. Hopefully Brady will be back to do another one soon. But if not always, cherish this one. It's brought to you by our friends@allprochade.com. we'll need shade in the future to stand under while we say our goodbyes. Or maybe just in your backyard drops that temperature 20 degrees in your backyard. You got a place where you could do some shading? In your backyard. You got some spots.
Frank Caliendo
Oh, yeah, I got plenty of spots.
Doug Holmberg
All pro shades.
Frank Caliendo
Let's talk to all pro shades.
Doug Holmberg
Where we need to go and get Frank's house all shady too. It's beautiful. Brady Reporter.
Frank
Good Friday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello, world. We've made it.
Brady
Sure have.
Frank
Happy National Tooth Fairy Day.
Brady
That's right. Yes.
Frank
A couple of basis fun facts.
Frank Caliendo
You know what I leave underneath my pillow for the tooth fairy?
Doug Holmberg
You still have that problem?
Frank Caliendo
A kidney.
Brady
Oh, man.
Frank
Does it all the time.
Doug Holmberg
When a kidney fairy.
Doctor
My kidney fell out.
Doug Holmberg
He checks under his pillow every day.
Frank Caliendo
From the doctor was.
Doctor
Doctor said there's a good chance the kidney fairy will leave me a few bucks. So just put it under my pillow.
Frank
And he told me right after the procedure, like right after.
Doug Holmberg
You can go, you can go. You're just gonna smack in the face. Why are you still here?
Frank
Up, up.
Doug Holmberg
Well, you plan on sleeping?
Frank
We need the bed.
Doug Holmberg
You're sleeping all day and then your grandpa's gonna come by and.
Frank Caliendo
Electric.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, there's Trip Reeb. He wants to come and say goodbye too.
Frank Caliendo
Heard the segment.
Doug Holmberg
Terrible. You want to come say goodbye, Tripp?
Frank Caliendo
You know, I don't have to pay you.
Brady
Yeah. You know that at one of the stations that I worked at? Yeah. Oh, no, the main guy. The main morning show guy. Yeah. Donated a kidney to the engineer at the station.
Doug Holmberg
Just a couple co workers. No one hears.
Brady
Kevin and me. Bean.
Doug Holmberg
Bean did that. Bean did that to the engineer at krock.
Brady
Scott Mason.
Doug Holmberg
No kidding. And everybody was fine afterwards. Were they great friends?
Brady
Dead.
Doug Holmberg
But.
Frank Caliendo
How'D he die?
Doug Holmberg
Kidney failure. Is that true? Is that real? Okay, good. None of. None of it's true. None of.
Frank Caliendo
None of the story is.
Doug Holmberg
By the way. I made the whole thing up just to make Brady feel like crap that nobody hears about.
Brady
Off.
Doug Holmberg
So really now you're saying donate, Kenny. And this is aimed at me, by the way. Yeah, yeah. You're aiming to give it to him. The main guy, you keep saying. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I've got two kidneys and he deserves one. The reason Bean gave his kidney to your engineer is because his engineer was going to be trustworthy with it. I. I can't. Was Scott good to the kid kidney?
Brady
Yeah, it was great.
Doug Holmberg
It was probably a nice. I would do it if he promised to make sure that my kidney was well taken care of. And the second I see him eating pizza, I'm gonna punch him in the nose.
Frank
He wants a prenuptial.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. I want a pre. Kidney. I want to prenup the kidney. Yeah, all right, if you can arrange that, I'll do it.
Brady
Okay. Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
You get some paperwork drawn up. Otherwise people are going to jail.
Brady
All right.
Frank Caliendo
Who was that reef?
Doug Holmberg
Oh, he pops in.
Frank Caliendo
Sounded familiar.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
No, I'm here. And Frank didn't give a kidney to anyone like Bean did. Isn't that funny?
Frank Caliendo
Kidney bean.
Doug Holmberg
Kidney bean. I get it. All right, go ahead.
Brady
Hurry up.
Frank
The last wild cow died in Poland in 1627.
Doug Holmberg
They were wild at one point. Yeah, I guess they had to be. All right, I've seen a few of them.
Frank Caliendo
Them wild cows.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, wild cows. Usually it. You know, they used to be at Fiesta Mall a lot. And then I was gonna say pre op. Pre op at the kidney center. No, no. I was talking about the ladies cows.
Frank
The first athlete in the US to ever earn $1 million in his lifetime.
Doug Holmberg
Over his entire lifetime, was in 1882, boxing, bare knuckle. That wasn't Jack Johnson.
Frank Caliendo
No, Baron Von.
Doug Holmberg
Baron von Knuckle. Who is it?
Frank
John L. Sullivan.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, John o'. Sullivan. Okay. The other Guy that we would know. Okay.
Frank
It takes 872 gallons of water to produce one gallon of wine.
Doug Holmberg
Wow, that seems wasteful.
Frank Caliendo
Also seems like it. Wine is underpriced.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, exactly. We should. Yeah. If it's a buck, a bottle of water. Water for me to drink out of a bottle of water is a dollar.
Frank Caliendo
Think of the money Jesus could have made.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, my God. We were talking about him earlier.
Brady
Really? Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Nobody saved anything. It's like the only historical figure we have.
Native Grill and Wings Promo Host
No.
Frank
And there's a recent article that they.
Doug Holmberg
And they just. So there's some archaeologists under jars and like, maybe this is it. And I'm like, you guys don't even know where anything is. Quit acting like you paid attention. You didn't. We don't have like a hat.
Frank Caliendo
Like, Indiana Jones hat.
Doug Holmberg
You think Jesus had pretty cool hat collection. Probably a table.
Frank Caliendo
Sandals.
Doug Holmberg
A Jesus original sandals.
Frank Caliendo
It was a carpenter, right?
Doug Holmberg
We were talking about this, Frank. See, it makes sense to you, too.
Frank
You got my music. Chachi's a little.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Chachi.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
No, I don't know. I just skipped that.
Frank
In a new poll, 47% of Americans claim they've never done anything they consider evil. 10% say they have, but only once.
Doug Holmberg
I guess it depends on your threshold of evil.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Have you ever been French? Been evil? Have you ever done anything like. Wow, that was bad. Like steel, like a significant thing. Or hit and run. Couple though.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Scratches on a car. And then you don't leave a note.
Frank Caliendo
I don't know if that should have done something evil.
Frank
Yeah. And they don't put a definition on that.
Doug Holmberg
Evil gets into, like, torture pranks that.
Frank
End up really just mean.
Frank Caliendo
I mean, half of this morning would.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, yeah. No, see, you know what? Actually the conversation with Brady dying is fairly evil. Brett's not going to ask. You don't know what you're talking about. Just leave him out of the evil conversation. He's got evil in his trunk right now.
Frank
There's another new term in the business world called quiet cracking. When your boss thinks you're doing fine, but you're secretly burnt out and struggling.
Doug Holmberg
Okay.
Frank
It's the stage between burnout and quiet quitting.
Doug Holmberg
It's called having a tough day. Get over yourself. Not everything needs a name.
Frank
Tick Tock has a new hangover cure. It's like an ice bath, but you basically dip your face in some. A bowl of ice water.
Doug Holmberg
I do that all the time. It's great.
Frank
One expert actually says, yes, it's very effective.
Doug Holmberg
Feels fantastic. Ice water is amazing for You. By the way, Ian schwartz from channel 3 just text and said I haven't listened this week. What is Brady having done? Nobody. Routine kidney removal and something. He'll be in and out. It's no big deal. This doctor says it's a good routine. Good. You know, we have a 911 stair climb September 13th. The firefighters put it on. We climb up and down.
Frank Caliendo
Oh, Bray's doing it.
Brady
Right.
Doug Holmberg
September 13th. And he goes.
Doctor
Doctor did say he wanted me up and about.
Doug Holmberg
You weren't gonna do that if you were healthy, let alone running around in these things with half a kidney.
Doctor
Heard of this thing called the Boston Marathon? Yeah, it's in April. I should be up and bouncing by then. I was a big marathon guy pre kidney problems.
Doug Holmberg
I'll give you my kidney if you run a marathon next year.
Frank
Not gonna have.
Doug Holmberg
I know. So you're getting my kidneys. Like, stay in place.
Brady
Foot.
Frank
And now it's time for some science news.
Doug Holmberg
Do you have it?
Brett Vesely
I have a version of it.
Doug Holmberg
Okay. Go.
Frank
Hello, my friends. Professor Brady moving here with your science news.
Doug Holmberg
It'll work, Frank.
Frank
There's more going on around Uranus.
Doug Holmberg
Christ.
Frank
The James Webb Telescope spotted another moon.
Doug Holmberg
Did we talk about this? The other day? And I said I wouldn't. I wouldn't bring it up because I knew. And now he's doing it too.
Frank
So now Uranus has 29 moons. It's a cute one, too. It's just six miles in diameter.
Doug Holmberg
Hit him in the back once for. All right, move on from there. Holmberg's morning sickness.
Frank
An object. Object from outside the solar system. The one that's coming towards us, hurtling towards the Earth.
Doug Holmberg
An object is.
Brady
Yeah.
Frank
The Harvard researcher who made a comment.
Frank Caliendo
Space kidney.
Doug Holmberg
It's going to implant itself somewhere.
Frank
The Harvard researcher who thinks it's aliens now claims it's emitting its own light.
Brady
Cool.
Frank
It could mean it's a spacecraft powered by nuclear energy.
Brett Vesely
Sweet.
Doug Holmberg
I hope it's the kidney Frank was talking about. And Kirby catches it like a foul ball.
Ronnie
Hey, man, check it out.
Doug Holmberg
And then just chucks it in the trash.
Brady
Walk.
Ronnie
Let's do some Pantera, man.
Frank
There's a study that found that seabirds only poop while flying. There's one type of bird called the streaked shearwater. They don't like to relieve themselves while floating in the air. They just take off briefly dump it, and then return to the same spot.
Brady
Huh.
Doug Holmberg
That's science news. I don't question it. No, I don't either.
Frank
This one's pretty amazing because it could be huge for 15 million people living with spinal cord injuries worldwide. Researchers in Israel are planning to perform the first ever spinal cord transplant.
Doug Holmberg
It's an in and out deal. The guy will be out by five at night. Don't even have to stay there.
Frank
Replace the damaged section of spinal cord with new section grown in a lab. Lab Using the person's own cells. It's already been tested on animals and it worked. Their goal is to help paralyze patients rise from their wheelchairs.
Doug Holmberg
They can make fake spines. And you can't get a kidney out of your kid.
Frank
Kirby's five years out from making the kidneys.
Doug Holmberg
Step it up. Step up to the plate, Kirby. That's it.
Frank
That's your science news.
Doug Holmberg
Something ain't right there, Frank. Man, that's amazing. They can make fake spines. Now, a few people I could suggest get a backbone.
Frank Caliendo
Yeah.
Frank
Frank, in your old home state of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, we have a lady that's facing felony charges. She caused $10,000 worth of damage on a door dash driver's vehicle because he brought the wrong wing order.
Frank Caliendo
Gotta get it right.
Frank
Faith Morris just beat the tar out of the truck. There's a picture of the car.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, man. She did a number.
Frank
She went.
Doug Holmberg
Ah, just windshield stuff. But still. Oh, she took the side off. You told us. Can we tell the story what your dad did? That guy when he door dinged him?
Brett Vesely
I think statute of limitations are probably gone by now.
Doug Holmberg
Brett's dad saw a little beige paint on his driver's side door. Brett was telling us. Were you a kid?
Brett Vesely
Yeah, I was like 10.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
And he sees his dad looking. He goes, what?
Brady
What?
Doug Holmberg
And he donkey kicks the car next to him, breaks off the mirror and.
Brett Vesely
Put it under their tires so they'd run it over too, just to. Just to add insult to injury.
Doug Holmberg
What in the world does this mother think he's got?
Brett Vesely
That Celica had a dent this big in the door.
Doug Holmberg
Huge foot. Then got a little. You got a little peanut butter in my chocolate. I'm Kirk Fetchley, goddamn it. Yeah, that.
Frank
That I love the Beef Bandit has been arrested. It's happened in Denim Springs, Louisiana.
Doug Holmberg
No, he hasn't.
Frank
This guy was robbing meat from Walmart. Stuffing the meat packages in his pants.
Doug Holmberg
Delicious.
Frank
They finally caught him at one of the Walmarts. Here's a picture of the dude. And check out what he was packing in his pants.
Doug Holmberg
She's louise. There's like 15, 16 different. Different stakes in there.
Frank
Frank's parachute pants. When he's a breakdown.
Doug Holmberg
He said that like he was jealous.
Doctor
Look, what he was getting in his pants.
Frank Caliendo
That is a packing butcher section.
Doctor
Like Tetris of Meat. That's impressive.
Frank Caliendo
This guy's got a little Leonard Nimoy to him.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, he does. Are you jealous that you didn't earn the nickname Beef man at one point? As you're starting?
Frank Caliendo
I'm not sure you didn't.
Doug Holmberg
Somewhere along he's been called that, but they said it behind his back. Not knowing how proud he would have been had he heard it.
Brady
Yeah.
Frank
He'S my Robin Hood.
Doug Holmberg
That's why you're not getting a kid, finally.
Frank
And Boca grand, he was a fishing for shark. He caught one. I don't know if you saw this or not. No, he was pulling the shark up and it bit him.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, cool. That's what you get when you play with sharks.
Frank
Had to be airlifted to the hospital.
Doug Holmberg
He survived the shark, thank God.
Frank Caliendo
Yeah, I saw that.
Frank
They put the guy down.
Doctor
In and out. Got bit by shark. Doctor said, I'll be out of here in 30 minutes. Took it to an urgent care clip.
Frank Caliendo
Of the Adam West.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, no.
Frank Caliendo
Where he's being. Shark is on his leg for like 30 seconds. And he's looking for shark repellent.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Robin, we need the shark spray. And it's biting his leg and it's just kind of nothing kicking at it. Was that the movie or was that the show?
Frank
I think it was the movie.
Doug Holmberg
I think it was the movie, too. Somebody climbed in that helicopter.
Brady
Yeah.
Frank
The Bat copter. Lowered the ladder down.
Brady
Yeah.
Frank Caliendo
And the ladder was the length of a football field.
Doug Holmberg
And didn't they have the. In the can it said shark repellent.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Bet you didn't know I had the bat shark repellent. Goodness. I brought the shark repellent. Old sharp. It took me 30 minutes to find it on this belt, which is riddled with too much stuff. Too many things I need to sort better. Robin. Alphabetical is probably the route to go. I miss Adam West. Batman. That should. That should be on a loop somewhere. That should be on a channel all the time.
Frank
I just have one.
Brady
All right.
Doug Holmberg
Then Brett hits us over the head. Yeah.
Frank
This is. Remember we saw the presidents, the leaders of around the world doing.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, world.
Frank
This is a little takeoff. If they could pole dance.
Doug Holmberg
It's AI Pole dancing President. That's President Trump. That's Putin. It's just there. This is weird. He went through it.
Frank
He couldn't do it.
Doug Holmberg
AI is. Is taking some turns. This is where dreams happen. Like, AI is like, we've. We're taking it Looks like my dreams. Not that that, but the way things aren't quite right, and you'll walk through a wall or something. I'm, like, kind of the way my dreams work. So computers are starting to, like, manifest in dream state. All right, Brett, here we go.
Brett Vesely
All right, start off a little eye stuff for you.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, I can't do eyes.
Brady
Oh.
Doug Holmberg
It's a guy with tattoos all over his face, and they are taking an exacto. What is that? A needle. They're gonna put a needle right in the eye. There's a needle going into this. It doesn't. Look, look, this is tattoo. He's tattooing his eye, isn't he? He's getting a tattoo of some sort on his eye. Right. Right in the cornea, right in the middle. Oh, come on.
Brady
Ah.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, they're. Look at all the ink. They're putting ink in his. Either turning the white black. This is something he wants.
Brady
Okay.
Frank Caliendo
Oh, he wants to be a lizard person.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, he wants to be one of those alien lizard people.
Frank
He's like a doll.
Doug Holmberg
And that's. Now he has.
Frank
Is that permanent?
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, probably. Yeah. He seems satisfied. But again, he's got over 100 tattoos on his face, so it's not like this guy makes good decisions anyway. And one of the tattoos on his face just says inked. Duh.
Brett Vesely
No kidding.
Doug Holmberg
Wow.
Frank Caliendo
Isn't that part of, like, an old school nursery rhyme? Like, stick a needle in your eye?
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, yeah.
Brett Vesely
There's a classy broad for you.
Doug Holmberg
Stick a feather in your eye.
Frank Caliendo
I think. No, I think it was the feather in your hat. Call it macaroni.
Doug Holmberg
That's right. That's the one I'm thinking. All right, here's somebody on a Porta Potty urinal, and. Oh, is this a guy? It's a girl. She's going in to lick the edges. She is licking the inside of a Porta Potty urinal. She's rubbing her face all over the edges and everything. Oh, my Lord. She looks topless. Is she shirtless?
Brett Vesely
Yeah, she is.
Doug Holmberg
She's naked in a Porta John, rubbing her face all over.
Frank Caliendo
Oh, what is this? That's wrong.
Doug Holmberg
She's in there filming her. Oh, my God.
Frank
You'll see this.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, look at this. Yeah, this is Frank's closer. Would you take her kidney?
Brady
Yes.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah. All right.
Doctor
All right.
Frank Caliendo
I believe there's going to be some damage to that kidney.
Doug Holmberg
Yeah, well, I mean, than yours. No, mine's fine. Oh, his. Yeah. No, no, that. They would be equally matched.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Brady treats his kidney just as bad as she does.
Brett Vesely
Going with your latest phobia, how about some Asians eating.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, I can't stand this. Oh, another frog sashimi. Oh, this one's still alive. It's kicking around and it's been. Its head's cut off and it's still moving. This is terrifying. They open up the frog by cutting its head off, violently ripping it, and then putting stuff inside the body of the frog. Oh, and then they just skinned it, and now its little eyes are blinking on the plate.
Frank Caliendo
This is what Doc Hopper wanted to do in the Muppet Movie. Oh, there goes my outer region.
Brady
Okay.
Doug Holmberg
I think it's Kermit. Doc Hopper finally got it. Look at him squirming around on the table.
Frank Caliendo
Biggie, couldn't you just lick a urinal?
Doug Holmberg
Yeah. Oh, my Lord.
Frank Caliendo
That's how this is.
Brett Vesely
Here's one we haven't seen before.
Doug Holmberg
Okay, this is a guy holding his penis. He's got a straw in the urethra. He's drinking his own urine through the straw. Oh, that's not urine. That's not urine. That's not urine. He's having a moment, and he's spitting it right. Right back into a cup. And it's brought to you by a fast food restaurant in the Midwest.
Brett Vesely
And the trend continues.
Doug Holmberg
Okay, here's another one where a guy is. Oh, she's got a funnel in her nostril, and a guy is finishing. He's in the funnel right into her nostril like a neti pot. It's going through, and it's going all the way into the throat. That's how she swallows through her nostrils. Because it's all connected.
Frank Caliendo
What has happened to Uma Thurman?
Brady
Like that.
Doug Holmberg
The outtakes of Kill Bill are not good.
Brady
Yeah, yeah. Wow. All right.
Brett Vesely
I don't remember this one.
Doug Holmberg
So we'll just. Jackie Chan. Oh, God. Oh, God. It's a. It's a rosebud and somebody's. Oh, there's fingers in and out of everything. There's just liquid flying out of this thing. Oh, look at that. Look, Frank.
Brady
Oh.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, there's some finger maneuvering that's going on there. That's pushing things in and out.
Brett Vesely
And we'll finish.
Doug Holmberg
Put your seatbelts on. Did you finish? I'll get you a towel. I'll get you a towel. All right, there's a lady who is cutting the tip of the penis with a knife. She's gonna cut it right off. No, he's cutting it right off. This is a common video. We see why I Don't know. There's a whole group of people out there that can't stop cutting, mutilating their genitals, and they've got a friend who will do it. So they're met somewhere like a Applebee's or something, and said, so, what do you want to do Friday? Whoa, there it goes. It's off. There it is. Oh, my God.
Frank
And look at him. He's right. After that's done in and out.
Doug Holmberg
Super.
Frank Caliendo
Mario's gonna jump on that mushroom.
Doug Holmberg
500 points. Okay, well, thank you. All right. There you go. My goodness.
Frank Caliendo
There's ever been a better time to turtle. That was it.
Doug Holmberg
That's the one.
Brady
One.
Doug Holmberg
Well, possibly the last Brady Report. I'm glad you're here to see that, Frank.
Frank
Thanks for coming in today, Frank.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Holmberg
Aren't you glad you did.
Frank Caliendo
At this point in the show, whenever I'm here after that, no, I do have people ask me, like, do you really see these videos?
Doug Holmberg
Like, yeah, we watch them every day. They're horrific, and they're different every day. They're happening all around us. There's somebody out in this city right now with the head of his wiener cut off from an activity like that. Yes, there is. It's. We've seen 12 or 13 at least, of those videos. It's happening more than you need to know. And those are the people just filming it. There's people do it, don't film it.
Frank Caliendo
I mean, if you're gonna do it, film it.
Doug Holmberg
Oh, yeah. If you're gonna do it, get some clicks. Yeah, yeah. At least get a blue check mark.
Frank Caliendo
Out of the deal, Master Clickbait.
Doctor
Good one, Frank. I'll remember that. Remember that until the day I die in recovery.
Doug Holmberg
For 30 seconds.
Doctor
I remember that till the day I die, which is 72 hours, 72 more.
Doug Holmberg
It's. There's your Brady report. My goodness, it's 98 KUPD. Hey. It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fees. I have heard enough of this.
Main Theme Overview:
This episode is a blend of irreverent morning show banter, health and life talk focused around Brady’s upcoming kidney surgery, and classic Holmberg’s Morning Sickness humor. Joined by recurring guest and comedian Frank Caliendo, the crew oscillates between roasting each other, handling real medical anxiety with jokes, and riffing through bizarre science headlines and internet weirdness. There are moments of genuine camaraderie, padded by the crew’s signature roasting and dark wit.
A regular segment transitions to:
The latter part of the show becomes a carnival of shocking/gross internet videos:
On Helpfulness and Friendship:
On Family Prioritization:
On Taking Care of an Organ Donation:
On Surgery Logistics:
On High Blood Pressure:
On Family Kidney Guilt:
On Uranus:

| Timestamp | Segment Description | |------------|-------------------------------------------------------------| | 02:03 | Frank Caliendo joins to promote his show and joke with crew | | 03:47 | Kidney donor hypotheticals: Hitler, mascots, rivals | | 06:30 | Kirby prioritizes Pantera concert over dad's surgery | | 07:21 | Hospital stay debates for kidney removal | | 08:06 | Research on typical hospital stays after nephrectomy | | 13:38 | Frank's personal high blood pressure story | | 23:55 | Kidney ‘prenup’/taking care of organ donations | | 28:48 | Science News: New moon around Uranus, alien speculation | | 30:35 | Groundbreaking spinal cord transplant news | | 36:14 | Viral video barrage begins (tattoo in the eye, etc) | | 41:51 | Jokes on ‘doing it for the clicks’ with shocking videos |
The tone, as always on HMS, is darkly humorous, irreverent, and quick with the riffing. Underneath the relentless roasting and gross-out gags is real camaraderie, concern, and a unique way of confronting serious topics with comedy.
This episode is a classic slice of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness: part raunchy morning radio, part cathartic roast session, and part pop-science/absurd news update. Frank Caliendo’s presence amplifies the hilarity, as the crew mock-mourns Brady’s impending surgery and pokes fun at family, mortality, and the utterly strange world we live in—on the air and on the internet.
For those considering:
