Main Theme

This episode is a laughter-filled conversation centered on "dad rules"—from strange rituals like tucking shirts into underwear to no-nonsense approaches to life, personal boundaries, and, hilariously, a penchant for brandishing (but not using) firearms to protect the homestead. The crew shares family stories, listener etiquette gripes, and nostalgic reflections on old-school ways—anchored by a particularly colorful celebration of John Holmberg’s father on his 77th birthday.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Podcast & Listener “House Cleaning”

• Inbox Overload: The team laments an ongoing problem: certain listeners flooding their inboxes with dozens—even almost 100—emails per morning.
  • Excessive Communication: John urges listeners to consolidate their thoughts, pointing out how over-participation drowns out good content.
  • Notable Quote (John Holmberg, 03:21):
    “If we get more than 95 emails from a single person in the morning, that's too many… try to limit your emails to like 10 to 12 a day.”
  • Comedic Take on Drunk Emails: Brady suggests people avoid emailing under the influence:
    (Brady, 03:28): “If you're going on a trip or something on shrooms, microdosing... or drinking too heavy, maybe stay away from a computer.”
    John retorts: “When they're drunk, it stops making sense.”
  • One-word Responses & Emojis: The team jokes about meaningless messages, like single-word replies or just a thumbs-up emoji.
  • Listener “Hall of Shame”: They pause short of naming the top offenders but tease the small club of repeat over-emailers.
  • Irony and Self-awareness: Some listeners email in with self-aware jokes right during the rant, showing they get the show’s tone.

2. Ticket Requests & Tragic Life Stories

• Over-the-line Requests: John and Brady recount listeners who sandwich tragic personal situations (like gravely ill children) with requests for concert tickets.
  • Memorable Moment (John Holmberg, 08:49):
    “Dear friend, I would love to give you tickets to Slipknot, but if your daughter dies and you're there, I'd feel responsible for that. So, no.”
  • The hosts agree such requests are inappropriate, noting the awkwardness of being asked to brighten someone's darkest day with free event passes.

3. Comparisons to Old-School Communication

• Blocking vs. Confrontation: The group waxes nostalgic about how, before smartphones and email, over-communication required uncomfortable real-life confrontations—often handled by no-nonsense dads.
  • Memorable Moment (John Holmberg, 16:08):
    “Remember times in my... When you get somebody that would call the house too much and, like, your dad would be like, tell him not to call here anymore.”
  • They recall times when parents would demand kids tell persistent callers to stop—echoing a lost art of direct boundaries.

4. Dad’s Rules & Fashion: The Underwear-Tucked T-shirt

• Dan Holmberg’s Birthday Lore:
  John celebrates his dad's 77th with stories of his trademark look: a t-shirt tucked into his underwear, work boots, and sometimes—when 'investigating noises'—a handgun.
  • Visual Comedy (John Holmberg, 19:22):
    “If you're interested in tipping one out to Dan Holmberg this morning, tuck those T-shirts right into the underpants... That's Dan Holmberg in a nutshell.”
• Family Reflections:
  • The cast compares their own fathers’ habits, ultimately agreeing the t-shirt-in-underwear thing is uniquely odd.
  • Brady jokes about the practicality of keeping things tight or neat—while John wonders about the hygiene logistics.
  • Debate: Is this a military thing? No one is certain, though a quick (and skeptical) reference is made to an online article suggesting minor benefits.

5. The Dad-Gun Saga: Dan Holmberg’s Dream of Shooting Intruders

• Home Security Dad-Style:
  • John tells multiple stories of his dad patrolling the house—often in underwear and boots, always ready—with a handgun in hand.
  • Vivid Scene (John Holmberg, 27:37):
    “Comes out with a huge handgun. I think it was a .357...underwear, t-shirt tucked into it, work boots and sunglasses.”
• Endless Anticipation:
  • Dan’s unrealized dream is to finally confront (and shoot) a real intruder.
  • Memorable Quote (John Holmberg, 25:50):
    “My dad's dream was to kill an intruder. I think to this day his life isn't complete because he never got to shoot an intruder.”
  • John details multiple times guns were pulled on him after making late-night noise—not out of malice, but out of readiness.
• Family Dynamics: Dan’s hair-trigger response was reserved for John—not for his sister’s suitors or their "late-night escapades," most of whom navigated the house without trouble.

6. High Yella & Donkey Tales: More Texas Dad Lore

• Farm Stories:
  • John details his dad’s rural Texas life, including anecdotes about "High Yella," a beloved and unusually named farmhand, and their mutual fondness for building barns, protecting livestock, and (always) being ready for trouble.
  • Cultural Commentary: Explains the origins and problematic nature of the term "High Yella," showing the odd blend of old-country practicality and casual insensitivity.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Email Etiquette (John Holmberg, 03:21):
  “If we get more than 95 emails from a single person in the morning, that's too many.”
• On Tragedy and Ticket Requests (John Holmberg, 08:49):
  “Dear friend...if your daughter dies and you're there, I'd feel responsible for that. So, no.”
• Dad Moves (John Holmberg, 19:22):
  “T-shirt, tighty whities, t-shirt tucked in. And a pair of work boots, usually a handgun.”
• On Dad’s Dream (John Holmberg, 25:50):
  “My dad's dream was to kill an intruder.”
• On “High Yella” (John Holmberg, 34:21):

• On Texas Farm Life (John Holmberg, 36:24):
  “High yellow...harvested the whole goddamn vineyard in a day. That’s 50 acres.”

Let's get started. There's more of the best of homework's morning sickness. We do a little house cleaning this morning. Start it all up. Oh, what are we doing? I've been hearing a lot about this stuff. Not just from you. I get it and you're getting it. Toledo gets it. I don't know that Brady gets it as much because Brady doesn't really have to deal with it. Still pretty annoying. If you are an emailer of the show via my email. Brady's, Brett's, anybody else's, or the basic one, the admin one, the one that comes through as the whole show. Yeah. Have a succinct thought. Knock it down. If we get more than 95 emails from a single person in a, in the morning, that's too many. That's, that's, that's a couple too many, I'd say at max, try to limit your emails to like 10 to 12 a day. And that's full participation emails, not just your thoughts. A lot of the times the people we're talking about are borderline insane. Brett's got a guy who now and we don't have to block people. And that's the thing. It's like we're trying to figure out, I heard Toledo saying, click this, do that. Trying to figure out a way to get like no one word emails necessary. Don't do it. By the way, all you. I know, I know what I'm doing. I know what's going on. But it's weird because like there's a, there's like a group of five or six people and you know who you are that you're just hammering away. We appreciate you listening. We like that you're, you're playing along, but that's too many and that's too much. It's a certain time we have to sit down and go, you're a nice man. It's your cable guy. If you remember the movie, you're just, you're too much. Would it be think it through?

[Brady]

Could you say, like, if you're going to, I don't know, go on a trip or something on shrooms, Microdosing.

[John Holmberg]

Right.

[Brady]

Or drinking too heavy, maybe stay away from a computer.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's going to be a time tough one to enforce. I agree with you most of the time, but telling people sober, yeah, you should stay away makes sense. When they're drunk, it stops making sense.

[Brady]

It's like taking the, you know, take the keys away.

[John Holmberg]

It's just a different language when, when somebody's plastered and they're like, you know, I got something to say. Especially because if you're listening on the podcast and you start talking to the podcast and we wake up the next morning to your emails about what you were thinking at 4:30 in the afternoons about what we were saying at 6:30 in the morning, we don't know, we don't remember what you're talking about. We have no idea what you're talking about. So yeah, the guy, I don't Know names and maybe we will shame them. There's a list of them. There's a list of you, and it's getting weird. And. And, yeah, and the last thing I want to do is start bumping you out, but if you got a billion emails or got a billion thoughts on your mind, you know, consolidate, you know, expedite your thoughts better. That's all. Just get them in there and get them out and think to yourself, is this a valuable thought? Maquette just threw up. Not an email. Not an email. This should Geico thing not. Not worth sending.

[Brett Vesley]

No emojis either.

[John Holmberg]

Dr. Rick. Yeah. No. One over one. Thumb up is not an email. Thumb up for what? Later on, bring it all together. You know what you could do is just. How about this? You put a timestamp on each one of your thoughts. Thumbs up, 5:45am and then just wait. Hit return and wait, don't send. And then your next thought. Brit's hair is not that great. All right, 6:12am and then, you know, like the 95. You're going to send it all in one email. We won't read it. Send it all in one email because we'll see how long it is. We'll be like, forget it. You know what else is another email that I want to. Oops, sorry, Excuse me, my cock went off. If you. If you start the email with, sorry, this is so long. That's all I read. Yeah, that's. That's. Oh, geez. Yeah, that's about it. If you start with, sorry, this email is so long. If the subject. Thank you. If the subject. Yeah, if the subject line says something about dogs, maybe I'll get a couple lines in before I realize for the most part. Sorry, this is so long. Is going to get like, ah, geez, I don't. I can't do it. We're trying. You try as hard as you can. We got text, we got Facebook. You got all that stuff. You got to be smarter with your thoughts. So to that guy. What's his name? Go ahead.

[Brett Vesley]

No, I'm not gonna say.

[John Holmberg]

All right.

[Brett Vesley]

Because he's gonna bury me with more.

[John Holmberg]

That's true. He knows who he is. Yeah. Yeah.

[Brett Vesley]

There's a list of them, though.

[John Holmberg]

We got like eight of them. William, who constantly, like every. Like, during. Like, we'll be during a break, he'll respond to me like he's in the room. Like, I'll be like, brady was at that. Blah, blah, blah, blah. I was at a place before. Okay. And yeah, that's an email. Like, I'VE been there. I've been. There's not an email. I've been. There's a inner thought. Like, I don't.

[Brady]

It's not that great.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well, that would be a. That would be an actual email. An email where you say, oh, I've been there. And it was a one out of five. That's an actual email. I've been there. Not an actual email, not an actual thing. I need to know if you finish up with a. An action thing. Oh, the place Freddy's talking about, I saw roaches all over. You're actually giving me some information. I've actually attended that place or I've eaten there before. So we understand other people have been there. We're not the only ones. Yeah, I don't care about that. Just gotta calm her down a little bit. We're getting into the 90s with a few people.

[Brett Vesley]

97 yesterday.

[John Holmberg]

97 from one guy. That's a lot.

[Brady]

It's a lot of time, too.

[John Holmberg]

You think so?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

But Brady, when you read the emails, you realize that each one's taking about half a second. Yeah. So it's. It's not always in a conversation.

[Brett Vesley]

Sometimes you just get an emoji, like a smiley face. What the hell is this?

[John Holmberg]

And it's fine. You can. You can thumb through. But then when it kind of gets in the middle of all the other things, you don't realize you're not the only. You're not the only one doing it.

[Brady]

This is just 10 minutes of his day.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, there's a lot of people emailing, and then you're kind of in the way. And then we just start. We see your name and we're like, delete. Next. We're not reading them anymore. There's nothing of substance. And maybe a few times you've got a good joke or a gem or something, and we're just skipping right over it because you're swinging at all the pitches, the hundred pitches a game, and you swung at all of them. The game's going to end quick for you. That's all I'm saying. So just a little house cleaning. Most of you are great. Most of you get it. But a few of you, this guy says, are you saying you don't like my drunken email sex pics and videos? What if I sent you 40? Would that be okay? I don't need to see 40 of your dicks, Tyson. That's about it. This one says, sorry, this email is so long. And it's a picture of a lady with a long. I Got the same one. Thanks, George. See George. George gets how to email. That's funny.

[Brady]

And the one said, get me the tragedy once or the drama that's going on that Catch me Brady. You're a good dude. My daughter is in the hospital right now on a respirator.

[John Holmberg]

And, yeah, you get a lot of condition.

[Brady]

And I'm going through this and you're thinking, that is horrible. Could I get Corn tickets?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Those are weird. Those are strange. When it's. My life is falling apart, so I can't afford tickets to Slipknot, but I need to see them. It's like, shouldn't you be, like, donating to KTR's Phoenix Children's Hospital? Or, like, shouldn't we do something else right now?

[Brady]

What would happen, though? How good would you feel if you were at the Corn concert and your daughter flatlined?

[John Holmberg]

Email that back. Yeah, I would. Dear friend, Dear friendo, I would love to give you tickets to Slipknot, but if your daughter dies and you're there, I'd feel responsible for that. So. No. And I don't like saying no to people, but no to you. Go tend to your dying baby. My son Sid, looks like tonight might be it. He would really want to see his daddy's last day at Corey Feldman and Limp Bizkit. No. So don't. Yeah, don't if you've got a tragedy. You know, I've read plenty of people like, hey, you helped us. We laughed. We had a moment, and we started laughing because you guys made me laugh after my tragic situation. That's. It's sad. But it's also nice to hear that they had a moment with us, that we. Our job meant something for a second, and that was a nice thing. If you ask for tickets to it afterwards, it immediately negates the death of your beautiful child. And she's gone. Now we're gonna get tickets. Tickets to Slipknot. You're like, oh, no, this isn't one of those, is it? Yes, but it happens, and it's very strange. So just don't, I guess, is the best way. It's the Joe Biden approach to Iran. Don't. Just don't.

[Brett Vesley]

Now your grinders are open.

[John Holmberg]

Sup? Sup, Sup.

[HMS Podcast Announcer]

Getting all these. One word.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, and I'm fine with that. Like, you're gonna make jokes about it, which is hilarious, but, you know, have a purpose to your thought. That's all. That's it. You know?

[Brett Vesley]

And, like, when we're on Best Stuffs.

[John Holmberg]

Too, we always talk about it. I mean and I get it.

[Brett Vesley]

People just tune in and they don't. They don't realize we're on a best stuff possibly and they start calming commenting on things. When the hell do we talk about that?

[John Holmberg]

I like the ones where I have friends who have my text and they'll start firing off on best ups and stuff like that. And then I'll just be like I'm in bed or I'm sick or I'm whatever it is, dude, I totally got duped. Like it's not. It's the same people. It sounds like we're there. I understand how you could be fooled by this, but yeah. So the. Just a little house cleaning on the email 97 is too many. And you know, if you want to have 10, that's. That's fair. I probably could like Kyle Pierce. He pays attention all morning long. He's a fun one. Travis. I got a bunch of people who email that are fun and I don't count them because it seems like every email is enjoyable and content. Following along. Yes, and there's some engagement involved, not just shouting out my car has three wheels right now. I might answer back what happened? You were talking about. Oh God, you're not following the. You don't know how to have a conversation. You're going crazy. Just that. And then I get this. This is the type of email I want this as I'm trying to see this is the thing, as I'm trying to thumb through my emails and I find gems like this I gotta sift through. 97 ramen isn't very good. Okay, stop it.

[John Holmberg]

Sickness and you have to know when you're emailing something stupid. You have to. I don't think you do these. I don't know. Is it lonely? Is it a lonely person? Who would do that? Toledo knows. Toledo's guy. Toledo's one to do. There was another guy. You guys used to go, he's off his meds. Oh yeah, disappeared. That one. That guy went away. He pops up every now and then, but it's been weeks. Weeks. That guy was hundreds of emails. Yeah.

[Brett Vesley]

On a weekend we would just get slammed. We're not even on the air.

[John Holmberg]

But his messages were audio messages. You can do that in the app? Worse. And he's like working out characters or accents or stuff.

[Brett Vesley]

Sebastian was in there and you know.

[John Holmberg]

I made a super cutout. Are you sure?

[Brady]

I stopped calling a while man.

[John Holmberg]

B bogan at 98k video. These emailing people sound little. Sebastian, let me just say it been 15 minutes since you put out your message. It's not hitting. No. Well, I'm sure right now there's going to be a bunch of jackasses going, but the guy we're talking about. Yeah, still drilling. Yeah. Still not getting it. My question is, is like do you.

[Brady]

Text people like that?

[John Holmberg]

Would you like if you got 97 texts from a friend of yours in a day, would you block them? I mean if we're interacting, that's different. But if I'm just getting like unsolved, unanswered, solicited, I would probably just Call.

[Brady]

Them and ask what's going on this morning.

[John Holmberg]

No, no. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, you go ahead and do that in your office. You go standing. You take care of that on your own. Hi, buddy. Hey, Mr. Texalot. How are you? I was talking about. I have blue eyes. All right, all right. Enough with the random facts, Larry King. Let's get this together. It's. It's just. That's enough. That's plenty. We're done with that. That's enough. I was going to. You show those points for you. Brady's got sun on his eyes. But. Yeah. So I just. I wanted to clear that up. And of course, I'm getting people who like me, and I like them. It's not me, is it, bro? It says 95 emails in one morning. Does that include the 87 emails from Uber Eats receipts for Brady? Those don't count. Those are actual, like. Those are.

[Brady]

They know better.

[John Holmberg]

Those are called result emails. And those. Those are.

[Brett Vesley]

Those are receipts.

[John Holmberg]

We got a receipt. There's a call to action with those. There's actually. It's worth it. That's worth it. He said, how does Brett read emails? They don't have hands moving all over. It's a different language. And that's true. Brett's Italian emails have to have hands. That's why I just delete them.

[Brett Vesley]

I don't read them.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know what this guy's talking about. It's. Yeah. Very real. So. And of course, see, now people are smart. These are good emails. Sorry, this is so long. Is the title of my last sex tape. Yeah, I see now. That's good stuff. I'll read that. Would see how that only went for, like, it had a beginning, mid, and end. It had a punch line, and it was over. It was worthy. This guy says John. Kind of the same, but not. I have a few guys that follow me on Instagram that send me Instagram videos all the effing time. One guy's a firefighter, sends me literal a video every three to five minutes. One day I counted 150 videos, and the stuff he's sending isn't funny or interesting anyway. I had to block him. Play Slayer. Please. DB we. Maybe we'll play Slayer, but that's the problem is we don't talk to each other about it anymore. We don't have these moments. We just block instead of just going, excess. You're excessively bothering me. Remember times in my. When you get somebody that would call the house too much and, like, your dad would be like, tell him not to call here anymore. And you'd have to say, dude, you're calling too much. You'd have to actually confront someone and tell them, like. Like you didn't have the hoa of block. Like, the hands off. You used to have a phone call from the kid that wouldn't stop calling. Every two minutes. As he calls, that kid calls. Also, my sister had a guy that would. Of course, she had a few. That's what trollops do. Well, you didn't speak their language, right? Yeah, it was very difficult. We had to get the translator from. Yeah, it was very hard. My sister's boyfriends would call. Hola, Mr. Humber. Is Punta there? It's not a goddamn name. Jesus. But tell him to quit calling. I remember my dad grabbing my sister by her hair. Not hard, but grabbed her by the hair and turned her around. And he goes, tell him to never call my house again. And gave her the phone. And evidently, he'd called my dad, dude, a couple of times or something. Hey, dude, is your daughter around? Yes, but you need to respect me. Sorry about that, dude.

[Brett Vesley]

Sorry, bro.

[John Holmberg]

And it was like, all right, Spicoli, that's enough. You're done.

[Brady]

The car pulls up, and there's a fringe hanging down from the windshield.

[John Holmberg]

There's a couple. Oh, that's. That's. You're joking. That happened multiple times at my house. There were dice and the. And the weird fuzzy balls across the. My sister was into that with guys she liked.

[Brady]

Lady of Guadalupe on the dash, candles.

[John Holmberg]

Like, there were dudes who had cars that jumped before you knew about cars that jumped. I don't think that they were intentionally doing that. I think they said bad shocks because of all the sex that was going on in the backseat with that guy and one of my family members. But I remember my dad. I was playing ColecoVision with one of my sister's boyfriends once, and he was probably 20. My sister was maybe 16, and I'm 13, 12. We're playing ColecoVision and we're killing. My dad comes home and he goes, hey, whose car's in the driveway? And the guy goes, that's me. And he just keeps playing. He goes, move it. Get it out of my driveway. He just came home from. My dad was done. And he goes, I'll get to it in a second. Oh, no, you won't. Oh, no, no, no. My dad just throws his stuff down. I don't know who you are. Go move your goddamn car to my driveway. That's rude. Jesus Christ. Jeez. Bro. Goes Right to my sister. He's not allowed in the house anymore. Sure enough, you just an dad. They get in the car and they speed off. That same guy tried to run me over with that. It was an electric. It was a blue El Camino, dark navy blue with like water splash. Light blue on the side all the way down. He tried to run me down once because my sister. Damn. Didn't like him anymore.

[Brady]

She's like the original Tigra and bunny.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, she like. Well, she like. She liked the cars that went. She didn't care about. Boom. It had to be a different language. I like the cars. I go plakita. Also, it is my dad's 77th birthday today. Happy birthday to Dan. So in honor of Dan, everybody tuck your T shirts into your underpants, please. That's what he would want. 77. He's right now probably in Texas doing something weir with his farm animals. Not like he could be. He could be slopping, mucking a stable. He's doing something weird. But he's got his T shirt. Guaranteed T shirt is tucked into his underwear right now as we speak. And that's the thing he does. So if you're. If you're interested in tipping one out to Dan Holmberg this morning, tuck those T shirts right into the underpants and put a pair of work boots on before you put your pants on and walk around the house for God knows what reason. That's Dan Holmberg in a nutshell. Used to come out of the. Like, my friends would be over and he'd hear us. We'd go swimming or something. At night we train. You know, you're a little loud. Come out. T shirt, tighty whities. T shirt tucked in. And a pair of work boots, usually a handgun. And he'd come out. I heard noises out here. Toast. Dad. Shut up. Which one of you gotta get up in an hour. Move your cars. Sorry. Get out of my house. Oh, he was. He. He would lose his mind. Fine. But the T shirt tucked into the underwear, man, everybody noticed that. That's like a noticeable thing. What's your dead. Took his T shirt into. I don't know what he's doing. That's weird. Not normal. He's not normal. But he's 77 and completely normal now, which is weird. As he got. He went from being a weird old man in his 20s, 30s, and 40s into a normal dude in his 70s. He's completely normal now.

[Brady]

Like spring break.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. He could be. Maybe he's not tucking his T shirt into his underwear anymore, but he used to. It was in his 30s. There were times to just ask my mom, like, what did you see in this? Like, what. What did you see in this guy? Like, he's just nuts. Your dad is a very handsome man. Like. Yeah, okay.

[Brady]

Besides that, though, works high stress.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. He's just constantly stressed out. It seems like he must be. He's not rich. I don't know what. Like, what is. What is it about the guy with the T shirt tucked into his shorts that you think is. I find your father very attractive. And that's all you need to know. All right. Want to buy a vacuum? Yeah, it's weird, but Happy birthday, Dan. And just realize that everyone on the planet thinks it's weird to tuck your T shirt into your underpants. It's just strength. You don't do it, do you? You tuck your T shirt into underwear. I don't wear underwear. So it's, like, open. You don't either? No. Did your dad. No, he never did yours. It's a weird. Your dad's a boxer guy. I could tell. Like, your dad is that or.

[Brady]

No, he was tidy, white.

[John Holmberg]

Were they tight or were they.

[Brady]

No, loose.

[John Holmberg]

Loose ones. Yeah. I can picture your dead one that he didn't want.

[Brady]

Well, as he got.

[John Holmberg]

Ah, you do. He's a T shirt. Tucker. You tuck your teeth. Oh, we're talking about fathers. Oh, sorry. I was asking. Sorry Toledo got mad. We were talking about having a dad. Yeah. Back to your dad. Then we'll talk about my dad, which all our dads, not only around all the time, living great, long, long lives. I mean, it's a wonderful thing. Yeah.

[Brady]

He always, you know, didn't have a butt. Didn't have, you know, chicken legs.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Those things were just baggy.

[John Holmberg]

He's just hanging on the guy. Yeah, right. But never tucked a T shirt into it. It was very strange, you know, Only.

[Brady]

Sometimes you'd have to if you're wearing the oxford shirt that button down all the way.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

To look formal.

[Brett Vesley]

Well, yeah, formal is a different.

[John Holmberg]

You'd tuck, but he would go.

[Brady]

I don't know if he would. What I didn't know is when he'd go to work, you know, wearing a jacket and tie.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. But he would tuck into his underpants.

[Brady]

I don't think so.

[John Holmberg]

I don't think so. Can't be. I think my dad's the only one who does that.

[Brett Vesley]

I never heard about it before.

[Brady]

Like a military thing.

[John Holmberg]

They don't do that. Military guys don't tuck into their underwear. I think they do. They do. Yeah.

[Brady]

You want that shirt tight.

[John Holmberg]

That tightens your shirt.

[Brady]

It keeps it from. Yeah, full. It keeps it straight.

[John Holmberg]

It seems like you just get pee on the bottom of your shirt.

[Brady]

Well then you got. You're buying too long of a undershirt.

[John Holmberg]

Well, if you got to tuck it in, you're buying too long of an undershirt.

[Brady]

It's about 2 or 3 inches and you get a little space.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know about you Brady, but those two or three inches you're gonna get pee on it now.

[Brady]

I can't.

[John Holmberg]

I'm getting mine. I'm getting all the way to. I'm getting to worry about that. I pull up to the waistband. If I had a T shirt tucked in there, it would touch the tip. If I'm pointing straight up. I don't like going down. I'm gonna start wearing underwear and tucking in there and see what this is all about.

Tuck into your underpants. It's a weird thing and I've never. Is it a military thing? You're looking it up.

[Brett Vesley]

I'm [e-mail].

[John Holmberg]

This guy says, my dad's far too similar to yours. All my friends known for being in his underwear. He didn't care. Was his goddamn house. And he was right, albeit it was awkward. I brought girls over. Oh, he pulled a gun on me. And he pulled a gun on me a hundred times. He wanted to shoot somebody so bad. My dad's dream was to kill an intruder. I think to this day his life isn't complete because he never got to shoot an intruder. If he was a make a wish guy, that would be his wish. I want to kill an intruder. I want to shoot. Someone was trying to steal my stuff. Me and my girlfriend Jackie.

[Brady]

Dad, camo paint. We were on his face in the.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he. If he could have done it in time, he would have.

[Brett Vesley]

Soldiers think he didn't have any monks living next door.

[John Holmberg]

He just shot. So Jackie and I are standing in the driveway, which is nowhere near the front door or the house. But it's springtime, so the windows might be open. 1238, giving her a little kiss. She's gonna get in her car and leave. Even though I wanted her to come in. I think that was what the conversation was. No, everybody's asleep. Get in there, stuff things inside you lay on top of you for a couple minutes. So we're talking my dad. Suddenly my dog Brandy. No, that was mugs at the time. Mugsy comes shooting out Weimer in her. It sees us and then recognizes me. And just the whole body starts wagging. And my dad's. I don't know. Then all of a sudden you hear, get him. Get him. Which is his code. Like if you're an intruder and he's going outside to kill someone, which is illegal, by the way. Just got to wait for the person to get in the house. Comes out with a huge handgun. I think it was a.357, but it was just this long barreled, super dirty gun. Underwear, T shirt tucked into it, work boots and sunglasses. Why? I don't know, like tack glasses.

[Brady]

They're the yellow lens.

[John Holmberg]

Yes. And he had those. He put those on to get a better head shot on whoever the mother was out in his front yard, which was me. And I'm standing and I didn't know Jackie well at that time. We didn't have parental. We'd met parents, but it wasn't like she was like, early on, it's your best gal. Bring her on in. It wasn't that yet. It was just some broad. I was popping by every once in a while at this point. So I got hands around her. Who's out there? It's me, dad. What's your name? I'm like, oh, my God, he's gonna quiz me. It's John. How do you know.

[Brett Vesley]

You named me?

[John Holmberg]

It's me, Dan. All right. All right, guys making a lot of noise. I just whispered, come inside. That's it. Come inside. That was about as loud as we got. But he heard car doors and who I could kill an intruder. I think there's someone outside. I hope it's not the boy. And he'd go. He'd go outside. He pulled a gun on me. Countless amount of time times. Countless amount of times. His dream probably still remains to. He's talks about it. There's gonna be a civil war, you know. No, there's not. There's yet. And we're already down here. You got hundreds of acres of land in Texas. You sit alone. Who's coming to your place? Nobody. God damn it. I'll take him. All right, Ted Nugent, calm down. Nobody's gonna come try to steal your donkeys in.

[Brady]

The apocalypse sweeps the property every, every day.

[John Holmberg]

I think he wants land. Land. And he bought a big thing of land in Texas. So there's more opportunities to shoot someone. They were on my land. Like if he gets more and more land and somebody's on it, he has an excuse to shoot an intruder. It's his dream. So maybe for his birthday.

[Brady]

His wife's a spotter.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

She's out there with a 15 mile an hour wind.

[John Holmberg]

He's got the gun. Two clicks left. He's about half mile downrange.

[Brady]

You just tell me when he steps on the property.

[John Holmberg]

Once he puts his foot over the bottom. Barbed wire. He's ours. So he wants that. Maybe one of these emailers. That's nuts. Could wander onto my dad's property and make two dreams come true. Don't say that. They'll. Don't fly down. Go do it. He's in. The hell's the name? Fredericksburg. Go down to Fredericksburg, Texas and look for Dan Holmberg. Take a step out of your cards. He probably owns the land. The dude's buying it all up. It's nuts. Well, if I buy more land, there was more chances to shoot a stranger.

[Brady]

Your son said you have some lemonade for us.

[John Holmberg]

What's your email address? Oh.com. yeah, he love. He'd love to shoot one of you. He would love to shoot. I had. I can't tell you the amount of times guns were pulled on me. I was just sitting there watching TV one night and I dropped a fork, went to pick it up and dropped the plate. I'm making a hell of a lot of noise and I remember picking it all up. Turn around and there's. There he is. T shirt tucked into the underwear. Handgun. What's going on? I dropped a plate. Sorry. You all right? I'm fine. Nobody's in here, right? We're good. Everything's fine. Go back to bed.

[Brady]

Go to bed.

[John Holmberg]

Check your daughter's room. But yeah, there's a. There's a team of Mexicans in there and. So you might hear them. Yeah, he never pulled guns on her and her. Or maybe. I don't know. Stuff. I don't know. I was usually up.

[Brady]

They got home at a reasonable hour.

[John Holmberg]

New Mexico. And your daughter, he was very. Yeah, they were very respectful. Dropping her off. Yeah, a few times she was late, but for the most part they would be like, I'm all done. Let's go home. It's only 9:30. We can do it again. Nah, your dad's crazy.

[Brett Vesley]

I'm spot at Home Depot in the morning.

[John Holmberg]

He wanted to shoot everybody. He had to get up at 3. I'm done hosing you, blondie. I'm going to drop you off with your crazy old man.

[Brady]

10Pm I start at the taco buggy.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I gotta go. The gay bar closes in a half hour. My dad will kill me if I don't get to the buggy. Okay. Maybe I can just get in the buggy with you. You could, I suppose. And blow me under the deep fryer. Okay. I never say no to that. Yeah, you could work at La Pinata and have less Mexican in you than my sister did through high school. That's A fact, anyway. Surprised my dad didn't shoot somebody there. He was close to that. He never pulled the gun on any of them. You know, it was just me. Pull the gun on me a lot. Never really threatened by it either. I was never scared of it because I knew. I don't even know. He just always had it.

[Brady]

Laughing.

[John Holmberg]

He couldn't wait to pull that gun. His dream was like. I'm sure he just got real excited. And boys in the hood. When Furious blasted at that dude and put a hole in the door. And he wouldn't have the talk like Furious and Trey did when he's like, you should have blasted him. No, that would have just been another brother killing another brother. My dad wouldn't have had that. We got him. Boy, look at him bleeding out nuts. Somebody said the Mormons tuck into their underpants, but that's magic underwear. That's different. That's. I don't think that counts as underwear. That's just an outfit. Unless the article I found here. And it's a single piece. If I remember right, Mormon underwear is like a jumpsuit.

[Brady]

I think they separate. I think it separates now.

[John Holmberg]

Wow. It's a whole article on classic fella. Should men really tuck their undershirts into underwear? Tucking undershirts into underwear. A study often overlooked aspect of men's attires. Proper layering of undergarments let their undershirt hang loose. However, tucking your undershirt into your underwear can have several benefits if you choose a streamlined silhouette. Maybe that's what my dad was going for. I'm sure he wanted to look good.

[Brett Vesley]

When he's blasting you.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, when the cop showed. Yeah. Maybe no bunching or bulging. It may occur when the undershirt is left untucked. Also, visiting the men's room. Tucking becomes much easier with a second undershirt. Oh, a second under. Oh, secured. I'm sorry. Secured undershirt allowing only one piece to be tucked versus fumbling with two garments requiring tucking prevent your undershirt from riding up. Well, I guess there's a whole bunch of benefits my dad figured out with Enhances layering the classic fella ensuring each garment lies flat. Whether you're wearing a dress shirt or. Ah, it just seems so uncomfortable to tuck into your underwear. But what are you gonna do? Happy birthday, Dan. I hope you get to kill that weirdo. Hopefully somebody wanders onto your property today and you and your friend hi Yella. Can go out there and shoot someone. And by the way, he still won't admit that's a racial. That's right. Hi, Yellow.

[Brett Vesley]

I was thinking of Yellow Hand.

[John Holmberg]

No, I worked with Yellow Hand. Hi Yellow is my dad's farmhand who introduces himself as High Yellow. And I had to look that up. And hi Yella is a slur. And everyone calls him hi Yella is worse than. It's so bad. We'll get High Yellow to do it. Like, can you just call him like, Trent or David? What's his name? His name is High Yellow. Oh, Christ, don't say that in public.

[Brett Vesley]

He probably doesn't know his real name.

[John Holmberg]

I bet she doesn't. Hi, Yellen. I helped a donkey, all right? Quit saying hi, Yellow. And then I told him what it was and he goes, I know. Oh, Jesus Christ. Yeah, no, I figured that out later. He doesn't care. Like, well, you should. That's not good. You're. You're borderline gonna get canceled doing that. And I don't care about that either. He asked me to call him High Yellow, and I respect that. I had to. I thought I knew them all. I thought Brett knew them all. On I yell it and it's really a slur between dark skinned blacks and lighter skinned blacks. They call them High Yellow. I got to take notes. I didn't.

[Brady]

An Asian thing.

[John Holmberg]

No, that's what you'd think. That's what I would have thought. Yeah. And I just. It's just his name. And it's hard because you want to say something like, please stop it. You're making. You're putting me in a bad spot here. It's like singing Drake lyrics out loud. I can't do it. But hi. Lifting donkeys and pushing horses. He's a big dude too. You don't want to piss Hyla off. I don't know if Haella is 35 or 104. I think he's just my dad's super creation that will never die is Green Mile. Cuz sometimes he, like, you see pictures or videos of them doing something. Hi. Ella's walking around like 108 year old man, but he's just gargantuan. It's like Tom Robinson from To Kill a Mockingbird. He's like, does he have polio? Why does he move like that? And then. And then he. Then he'll start jogging. You're like, oh, he could be an Olympian. I don't know. He's either 35 or he's 180, but he's called that. My dad's farm. Hi yell. And I built some barn stuff today. Stop it. And then he sends me A picture. And the two of them put together the most beautiful eight stable barn I've ever seen in my life.

[Brady]

In a week, there's probably 18 structures on that property.

[John Holmberg]

All they do is build fence. Another project got a fence around the vineyard. Are you running a vineyard? Yeah, that. What are you doing? Got an eight foot fence around 50 acres to keep the deers away from the grapes. Like, what is going on down?

[Brady]

Do you have that high yellow chardonnay yet?

[John Holmberg]

Hi, yellow. Take this in, Brady. High yellow. Harvested the whole goddamn vineyard in a day. That's 50 acres. Link in a day. Is he alive? Yeah. Hi, yellow. Don't sleep. It's got sniper towers built and everything over there. It's insane. Oh, I'm sure he's got a. A. A predator blind. He slept with a donkey. Not like that. It was. He has a donkey that he like, really liked. It was. It was his buddy and it got sick.

[Brady]

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his donkey.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Yeah. He got. He was buddies with this donkey and the donkey got ill and fell. And he couldn't find him. And he was out in the field and they'd have found him and stayed out there with him in case. So coyotes didn't kill him or wolves or whatever. So I'm like, well, why wouldn't they kill you? You're an old man, man. I got my gun. Oh, so that's what you're. You've resorted now to just like animal. Animal predators that may come in and try to steal the things.

[Brady]

Little fire, maybe build a little fire.

[John Holmberg]

Leaving bait all over. So he and hi Ella picked up this giant donkey and stuffed it in an F150 and stayed out in the field for a day. Nick. You and hi Yella getting a little broke back, Aren't you a good friend? Okay, Andy Dufresne, calm down. Hey, it's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fees.
