John Holberg
This is it? Yep. Where's the. Now are you gonna do that family thing where it's like. Like in happy days when Richie got his license and everybody went to dinner and Richie drove?
Brett Vesely
No.
John Holberg
Why not?
Brady
Because.
Brett Vesely
Brady Scott, think about that. I forgot about the episode.
John Holberg
Well, it's just life. You're not going to climb in the car with her the first day.
Brett Vesely
I've been in the car.
John Holberg
I know, but it's official now. This is going to be in the back seat.
Brett Vesely
I won't know it's official.
John Holberg
Tell you what, Sierra Sola. No, that'll be fine. It's. But you got to do this the right way.
Brady
So wait, you're going to cloud up climate change by taking two cars to dinner?
Brett Vesely
Yeah, yeah, we're going to bring it down.
John Holberg
The family piles in the car. Kirby drives. Come on down to my neighborhood and I'll buy dinner for Kirby for her birthday. How about that? I demand freeways. I demand. Is she good on freeways?
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
John Holberg
I gotta give it to her then. That's usually the first thing that people freak out about. All right, freeway up.
Brady
Do you have life360?
John Holberg
What's that?
Brady
No, we're tracker app on her on your kid's phone. We had that on Alex's and he was driving my car before we got his. Tracked him doing 90 on the 202.
Brett Vesely
Yeah, it gives you the speed limit.
John Holberg
This is milestone day. Hey, dude, like your kid gets the driver's license, Brady, and yours is moving out today? Yeah.
Brady
Today's the rest of his life.
John Holberg
Well, no, he'll be back in 60 days.
Brady
Stop it.
John Holberg
There's no way he. Stop it. There's no way this sticks. He's jobless. He's moving out of town.
Brady
Right.
John Holberg
He's got no money.
Brady
Zero. He's got $260 in his account and.
John Holberg
He'S got to figure out how to pay rent in 30 days.
Brady
Yep.
Larry McFeely
But either way time.
John Holberg
He also has to get a job.
Brady
Yep.
John Holberg
He's got 30 days until his had.
Brett Vesely
120 to accomplish that.
John Holberg
Oh, we had all summer to figure this out. Yeah, he'll be back minus before Halloween. Before Halloween. There's going to be talk of how do I break this lease. You Know it, I prepare for it.
Brady
I've already contacted a lawyer.
John Holberg
No, and this is the thing that. Smart, smart. Get learner and row in on this.
Larry McFeely
I got a broken lease.
John Holberg
Yeah, I got a broken lease. It's like how long? Oh, no, it hasn't happened yet, but it is definitely going down. Yeah, I just need to prep. This is the thing. Kids don't realize. Your parents don't pay your bills to keep you out of trouble. They pay your bills to keep you from coming back. So you're gonna end up kicking in for at least the first month. There's no way he's. It's August 1st, right? So he's got to not only get a full time job, he's got 30 days to pay the bill. Yeah. So at least he doesn't have a job.
Brady
No.
John Holberg
So right now if he gets a job today, he won't start for a couple of days. So he's already down three or four days of work.
Brady
There's a couple of, like I've been trying to tell him. So he was, he was, I don't know what the term is, but he was part of an after school program all year. His senior year. So he worked at an elementary school for their after school program. And so he would be there from like two to six. And that's what, that's what he worked. But it was a consistent paycheck. I told him, I said, smartest thing you could do, walk into a school down there and they'll hire you. Cause you're already in the system. You've already been background checked, you've already got your fingerprints in. Do that, you start earning a check right away and then you can go find the job that you want, exact tips or whatever.
John Holberg
Yeah, but be diligent, hope he does it, but he's going to need, think about it, food, like insurance for his car. And here's the big one.
Brady
Insurance has been paid for six months already.
John Holberg
Okay, so that's good. That's a big so good. That means his weed account is better. That's where it's going to get him. Just a weed.
Brett Vesely
Something will motivate him.
Brady
Yeah, I'd like to, I'd like you to tell me what that is.
John Holberg
Yeah, I'll tell you what. To motivate him, but motivate him to pack up his car and drive back to dad's house before Halloween. He's gonna. So it's a big day though because the first time you move out is a big deal, right?
Brady
It is. And I'm Hoping that he'll be back like what Brady said. I'm hoping that that bug gets him that. Hey, I like this.
John Holberg
Yeah.
Brady
I want this to continue.
John Holberg
How could you? Right? That's the thing he started. You can't like this. He's already stressed out. He's not even moved in yet.
Brady
He says he's not.
John Holberg
He is.
Brady
He is.
John Holberg
He has to be. Yes. He doesn't know he's stressed out yet. But in 30 days when he's like, I got $800.
Brady
Not about. Not 30 days. Probably right around 17, 18 days it'll be.
John Holberg
Oh, you think it'll happen?
Brady
Because he's gonna start looking at the end of the month going.
John Holberg
I think the end of the month.
Brady
I've been going to raising canes every day. And.
John Holberg
He'Ll be back.
Brett Vesely
What's your job? I've been running back and forth between Nogales and Tucson.
John Holberg
Now, Brady, I don't know your rule for the kid driving situation. You're fairly lax parents. Yeah, but how many tickets or if incidents until Kirby gets the car taken away?
Brett Vesely
The. Well, the minute the insurance gets, you know, goes up. Like if it's one ticket and your insurance goes up. Insurance is through the roof, by the way right now.
John Holberg
Right, right.
Brady
210Amonth for Alex. If I pay. If I pay six months at a time.
Brett Vesely
Yeah.
Brady
So.
John Holberg
So you've got. But there's no like rule like set ahead. All right? This car is. Is, is. It's a. It's a privilege, not a right. And here are the three things you can't do. A speeding ticket. Like, is there anyone. Is there any one thing she can't do to those keys come back.
Brett Vesely
Well, I've told her that I've gone over that I go. You know that when you first get your license, you've got to be really careful because one ticket, you know, they're.
Brady
They're.
John Holberg
You're worried about the price.
Brett Vesely
Your license suspended.
John Holberg
Right.
Brett Vesely
Of course he is the.
John Holberg
But I'm saying does. Is there anything she can do to have that car taken away that isn't just cost you money? Like did you have the rules set? My dad had rules set.
Brett Vesely
Yeah. No, we.
Brady
Alex lost his. He got two red light or not red light speeding camera tickets.
John Holberg
Yeah.
Brady
And he didn't pay attention to him. And he. We found out that he had like a week to take care of it. Well, that's not enough time to do the.
John Holberg
Those go in the trash. He's not wrong. Well, you have to get served.
Brady
He was already in the System for that.
John Holberg
So you got to get served. They can't do a thing about it. You could have going down and fix that. Well, talk to me next time that happens.
Brady
I'll. I'll have you.
John Holberg
Yeah.
Brady
You know the homeberg and home bird.
John Holberg
They can't do a thing about it until they serve you. Those things are suggestions. Throw them all over my house, not my kid.
Brady
So.
Brett Vesely
But then I think it does.
Brady
But he got his license and he got his.
John Holberg
And.
Brady
But he was able to take the class and he gets the one off. But he still got one. And that hiked his rates. So he lost his. He lost his car for a month because he. He didn't have a license.
John Holberg
Does Kirby have the. You've got to do all of these jobs at the house to keep this alive.
Brett Vesely
She has her responsibilities. Mostly gas.
John Holberg
Right now she just got to buy. I'm saying, like, does she have to, like, now is there new rules my dad had. When I got my car, I thought it was going to be free and easy. All I ended up doing was becoming his landscaper. Like every day he's like, all right, car's mine. If that yard ever needs to be mowed, visually, the car's mine. So I had to make sure that that thing was like a day.
Brett Vesely
Jobs are like, if she doesn't. She's not earning money. We're not creating jobs around the house yet, man.
John Holberg
I got. I got. I got it rough.
Brady
Easy street forced me to do that. She's still doing sports then?
Brett Vesely
Yeah, she's doing sports. But she is wanting to look for a job now that she's 16. There were a couple of places I did hire at the. At 15.
John Holberg
Crazy 16 moved out. They're almost both free. Almost both free, Brady. More so than Toledo. Toledo's kid's gonna come back for free.
Brady
Let's suck an anchor. I have an anchor, baby.
John Holberg
Pivin is an asshole. I'm never moving out with anybody. You guys make it easy?
Brady
No, he's by himself. He lost his one roommate that he was gonna.
John Holberg
He's living alone.
Brady
Yeah. Cuz his. His one roommate that he was gonna have was. Was gonna be. He got into the dorms and so Alex isn't starting until January.
John Holberg
He moved dorms by himself with no job today?
Brady
Yes.
John Holberg
And he owes rent in 30 days. Yeah. Oh, this is. This is a catastrophe.
Brady
Well, what I'm. What I'm looking forward to is like on the 29th when he says, hey, if I were to sell my car. All right. And do what you rear ended Somebody about it about a year ago. What are you. You're gonna get a thousand bucks for it. That'll pay rent.
John Holberg
He's already got a plan to sell his stuff. I'm thinking.
Brady
I'm plotting. I'm plotting.
John Holberg
No, on this morning sickness.
Larry McFeely
It'S Larry McFeely. Just had my annual Mission Beach San Diego vacation. Full of sand, sun, and, yes, Toyota trucks. Mission beach lifeguards don't mess around. They roll with Toyota Tacomas, Tundras, and 4Runners as their official lifeguard vehicles. Why? Because they need serious capability, dependability, and the power to protect the coast. And right now, it's the national sales event at your Valley Toyota dealers, which means it's the perfect time to grab a Toyota truck built for adventure. Whether you're hitting the beach or the Arizona B backroads, visit your Valley toyota dealer or valleytoyotadealers.com toyota let's go places.
John Holberg
Hey, Byron. I heard you have something new to announce from MMP Guns, Brett.
Byron

John Holberg
Well, there you have it. MMP Guns on the northeast corner of 12th street and Indian School or online at mmpgunscustoms.com 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 as is. You don't have to do anything. The deal is over. So all you got to do is start the process online@doug hopkins.com or sing Hopkins 1-800-channel now. Holmberg's Morning Sickness.
Brett Vesely
My thing on the car, you know, inconvenience the Most you, it's like, yeah. Last thing I want to do is take that car away.
John Holberg
I figured that out.
Brett Vesely
That means I have to drive her there. Or between Ronnie.
Brady
I figured that doesn't happen. More of a pain in the ass for me because I had to take him to work.
John Holberg
I had to figure that out about four months into mowing the grass every single day. What's he going to do if he takes my car and I'm. Then I'm on his time again.
Brady
Sure enough, another job at that time.
John Holberg
Yeah, I was working at Tony Romas, too, but that yard was.
Brady
Oh, at 16, you were working.
John Holberg
15. Yeah, I was working. There was 15, but we can. Oh, I got. I got. And then. So if I'd screw that up. And he said, give me the keys to that thing. You're not driving. I'm like, okay. And it took about three months. And I'm like, gotta go to work at five.
Brady
Weren't you in.
John Holberg
He drive me over there? No, I was like, well, I could have, but it was a little warm. And he would drive me over there. Yeah. And then, you know, 10 o'. Clock. Hey, dad, it's John. Need a ride home? And then he'd give me the keys back, like, the next day. All right, lesson learned.
Brady
Alex got indignant with me once, too, when I was a little bit late picking him up. I'm like, hey, you gotta let me know when it is. And if I'm out doing stuff, I'm gonna finish what I'm doing and then I'm gonna come get you.
Brett Vesely
I think I got a. I just thought of a decent system if that were, you know, to happen.
John Holberg
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
And the biggest thing is getting to school every day.
John Holberg
Yeah.
Brett Vesely
There's enough parents that I know their kids that are driving pick them up. Yeah. And your gas money is gonna pay that kid.
Brady
That's a good one, because Lisa's cousin Danny is the one who had to pick up Jayne Mansfield that morning.
John Holberg
Oh, when he had this. Yeah, that's right when he was calling you going, can't go to school today. Dude woke up late. That's on you. That's great.
Brady
Danny dropped him off and said, love you outside of the car.
John Holberg
People want in on the action. We do a little fanduel over under on Toledo's kid. And when he'll be back, I have Halloween as my over man.
Brady
That's generous. I gotta say.
John Holberg
He'll. He'll have to do that. But you're still gonna pay a couple of the bills up until Halloween. There'll be a couple of rents that you're paying.
Brady
There's an amount that I'm giving him on the last day of every month and I told him the rest is.
John Holberg
Up to him to help him out.
Brady
So he's got to come up with like 1200 bucks a month.
John Holberg
You're going to be paying that at least twice before October. That's only four months. You're going to be paying August for sure. That's happening. Just save for that right now. And then September, you might surprise that.
Brady
I told him to. I'm like, your mom's there. Go, go hit her.
John Holberg
And yeah, she knows her way around money. She can find some cash.
Brett Vesely
There's the unknown source.
Brady
She's. She's tougher than I am.
John Holberg
Dawn is not giving that kid a penny. Yeah, saw your dicklish father.
Brady
It's his fault you're down here in the first place.
John Holberg
You're an idiot that you moved in the first place without a job. Mom won't give me any money, dad. It's either that or I move back in. How much? How much do you need? How much do you need? My dad's awesome. Over under 300 bucks a week.
Brett Vesely
What he needs.
John Holberg
Just save it.
Brett Vesely
Income. Just cover that.
Brady
Like if he goes back and does that school job again. He's. He was making. He could probably make, you know, 600, about 300 bucks.
John Holberg
Somebody just asked, is this the BBC kid? Have him get an only fans page.
Brett Vesely
Oh, God.
John Holberg
There you go, Alex. He's an adult. Have your son go full only fans and pay that rent. I'm telling you right now, my Grindr page gangbusters. You don't even have to put a picture up. I'm getting.
Brady
I know. And the pictures you've been sending us are.
John Holberg
It's out of the blue. These guys just. They. There is some aggression in the gay world of Grindr. They do not want to f around. They haven't seen a picture. I don't have a picture on my Grindr account. They don't care. There's a guy, he's online. That's all I need.
Brett Vesely
Pound every hole possible.
John Holberg
Truly is cooler than trying. Not one of them has said, would you like to go to dinner and get to know each other? It's like everything you want from a woman happens on a gay website. How about we have dates in this build up and see if we get along? Not one of those guys suggested that. Just a picture.
Brett Vesely
The name says it all, John.
John Holberg
A lot of the times the name says everything, which is deep inside me. Text me yesterday. Wanna do it? Like, yeah. No, I don't answer back. But these guys are not messing around with, like, want to meet me at PETA Jungle and talk. That's not a thing. It is all about, like, hammering away on me. That, like. And again. Pulse. That's really all you need on Grindr. You got a pulse. You got an account. Little green dot that says, you're online, you're close. One guy just text me a picture, him holding his wiener. I find it fascinating. This is, I'll pay you to give you a bj. And I actually considered that one. Hey, wait a minute, that's. And there's where Alex can start making rent. I'll pay you to perform one on you. He's not asking me to do anything, but close my eyes and imagine it's not a dude. I want to say how much? I'll pay you if you let me go down on you. Anonymous pictureless stranger. That's like picking up the phone, flipping the phone book open, throwing your finger down and going, all right, Navin R. Johnson. And you make the phone call. Hi. I know you don't know me, but I will pay you if you allow me to go down on you. You don't know what I look like or. Nope, no idea. I want to do this and I want to give you money for it. And I sat and said, okay. Like, I want to. Like, I was like, that. Doesn't. That seems lucrative? And then, of course, the guys are like, do you have any pics? Like, no, that's all right. Wanna. Are you cute? That one guy asked me if I was cute. I said I was in a wheelchair. Okay, that's fine.
Frank Caliendo
Are you cute?
John Holberg
I'm like, jesus Christ, move my colostomy bag. I've got a third. I got a second hole.
Brady
Ooh.
John Holberg
Like, Jesus, you guys don't care. But, yeah, this dude just. This one was fired to me out of the blue. No words. How about that? Look at that one. Bam. This one's. That picture says a thousand words, hung with tats. You can call me Kevin. Here's a picture of my helmet. Like, thanks. It was pretty. It's aggressive. I giggled. I was working out last night. My phone, just for no reason. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I forgot I was on the grinder.
Brady
Is there a certain bewitching hour that they.
John Holberg
It seems to be 8 to 9 o', clock, where everybody's boners are like, no. And then they get on the grinder and Just at anybody who's close. He's within a mile. That'll take that guy five minutes to get here. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. I'm gonna send a picture of my wang. That's. And that's the cut to the chase thing of Grindr that men and women dating sites don't have. The cut to the chase of Grinder is I know why you're here and you know why I'm here, and I'm gonna send you a picture of it.
Brady
From what I understand, plenty of fish was like that.
John Holberg
No idea. This is hilarious, though. I'm having the time of my life, because I am. I'm the biggest CT's on Grinder. You never hear from me. There's no pictures. I'm driving these guys crazy. They might as well all be that Katie girl. Just. I'm gonna. I'm killing them with my almost. Ian Schwartz just emailed me. Why are you on Grindr? Settle down, Ian. Settle down. I remember why I got on there. Oh, we were gonna try to bring him over here. Well, first off, we were trying to see if anybody in the building's on it. We're trying to find a down low employee.
Brett Vesely
And it started from the story of you and Ralph grinding at my house.
John Holberg
That we were grinding at Brady's house, trying to get somebody to come over. And then we were going to leave. I had a beer bottle in my ass, and we took a picture of it, made it my profile pic. Anyway, Ian, settle down. Why are you on Grindr, Ian? I know why. I hope that wasn't Ian sending me that shot. Whoa, Ian. A dude named Storm Front sent me.
Frank Caliendo
A picture of his balls.
John Holberg
It might have been Schwartz. Had a Star of David next to it. Storm Front Jew. I'm like, oh, no.
Brett Vesely
Haboob won.
John Holberg
What do you got for a song there? Pick something.
Brady
I don't know, But I got five offers for the car already.
John Holberg
How many for the OnlyFans page?
Brett Vesely
Oh, none yet.
John Holberg
Ronnie just texted me and said there are no rules for Kirby. Brady is a softie.
Brett Vesely
Yep.
John Holberg
I'm the one handling slamming the hammer down when Kirby does something dumb. Grades.
Brady
Are grades involved?
John Holberg
Oh, yeah.
Brady
Push over.
Brett Vesely
No, she's had that for a couple of years, especially in high school. Basically, if you get two Cs, we're pulling you from the school.
John Holberg
Oh, yeah, she. Because you pay for school. For it.
Brett Vesely
You're gonna go to the school.
Brady
You gotta excel, John, I'm on Grindr now. Can you look up the profile? I need rent money. Damn it.
John Holberg
All he has to do is get blown by a guy and they'll pay his rent. I'm thinking about that. I'm doing just fine. But any dude that says a blow in, I'll give you a few bucks for it. That's just. I'm intrigued. I don't even want that, but I'm intrigued.
Brady
What's the budget for that guy?
John Holberg
I don't know. I kind of want to email back. How much?
Brady
Right.
John Holberg
Because I think I can grin and bear that one.
Brady
It's not weird. It's pretty cool actually.

This episode revolves around family milestones and parenting decisions: Brett’s daughter Kirby is about to get her driver’s license, prompting talk of parental rules for teen drivers. Meanwhile, Brady’s son Alex is moving out to Tucson with no job lined up and minimal funds, sparking a candid, comedic exploration of how (un-)prepared young adults can be for independent living. The hosts debate the consequences, rules, and wagers around these two coming-of-age situations, mixing practical advice with characteristic banter and storytelling.
On the likelihood of moving back:
“He’ll be back minus before Halloween. Before Halloween, there’s going to be talk of how do I break this lease. You know it, I prepare for it.”
— John (04:04)
On the parental insurance racket:
“Parents don’t pay your bills to keep you out of trouble. They pay your bills to keep you from coming back.”
— John (04:22)
On teen driving punishments:
“The last thing I want to do is take that car away. That means I have to drive her there.”
— Brett (12:17)
On insurance shock:
“210A month for Alex. If I pay six months at a time.”
— Brady (07:01)
On OnlyFans & Grindr as solutions:
“Have him get an only fans page.”
— Listener (15:14)
“There’s where Alex can start making rent… I’ll pay you to perform one on you. He’s not asking me to do anything but close my eyes and imagine it’s not a dude.”
— John (16:02)
On Grindr's directness:
“Truly is cooler than trying... Not one of them has said, ‘Would you like to go to dinner and get to know each other?’ It’s like everything you want from a woman happens on a gay website.”
— John (15:56)
This episode is delivered with quintessential HMS irreverence, affectionately roasting each other, their kids, and societal parenting standards. Serious parenting concerns—financial independence, responsibility, rule-making—are lampooned with sharp wit and self-deprecation, yielding a tone both relatable and riotous for listeners familiar with family transitions.
For listeners: Whether you’re on the cusp of sending a kid off to college, nervously handing them car keys, or just enjoying the chaos of “adulting” gone wrong, this episode is packed with laughs, real talk, and the kind of honest, sideways advice only Holmberg’s Morning Sickness delivers.
