"Never apologize to a mob. A mob will never get together on why they're mad in the first place." — John Holmberg (08:13, quoting Adam Carolla)

Transcript

[Host]

[John Holmberg]

Homberg's morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Come on. We don't. We whites don't have a cool phrase like, that's one of the coolest things I've ever seen on tv. Last night when Almond Ross St. Brown, I run this. Like, if it was a white guy, you had to go up. I run this S N word. It would be like the worst if you'd look like an idiot, but I'm on. Ross St. Brown, one of the most articulate, smart people in the NFL, caught a touchdown. His emotions got the best of him, and he said that to the camera. I run this sn. And everybody at home flexed. Ooh, that's a badass phrase to say after you did something awesome. And we whites don't have that.

[Co-host 1]

Next time, he should do it in German.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, we've got it. Oh, that'll be great. We, we've got it, but we'll lose our jobs if we say it. Scott Van Pelt, after the game last night, talked to him and said, you scored a touchdown. You ran to the camera and you said some. You were pretty emotional. Can you take us where your head's been? He just goes, I'd just like to apologize for my profanity. I was like, man, celebrate that. That's a gift. I mean, if Cooper cup did that, he'd be suspended for the rest of his life. And if that word is so awful, shouldn't ESPN get in trouble? But because it was said by someone who's allowed to say it, everybody's like, it's not that big. A deal. It's such a slippery. Ah.

[Co-host 1]

You think most of them didn't hear that, right?

[John Holmberg]

No, it was clear. My phone erupted. Because he just did. He just ran that square.

[Co-host 1]

He's saying dinger.

[John Holmberg]

No, he's not. It was clear. It was. And it was awesome. It was a moment. And it wasn't like it was awesome.

[Host]

I'm going to NFL.com.

[John Holmberg]

The best. Yeah, he got a lot of new fans last night in the South. He talks like we talk. It was great. But yeah. Then Scott Van Pelt interviewing him afterwards just proves how, you know, wishy washy we are about like offensive pearl clutching language that he said the word.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

But he's okay to say it. Oh, okay. That's fine. It doesn't bother you. And I don't understand. I thought it was like the worst thing in the world to hear. Yeah, but only if you say it. We need a phrase like that that won't get us fired. Cause that had some gravitas. That was a set of pills right there. Walking over to a cameraman for ABC who's going through all they can go through right now and saying, I brought. That's Disney.

[Co-host 2]

Oh, Hawk. Nice job on Unra.

[John Holmberg]

That's right, Mickey. And you know it was on your network.

[Co-host 2]

Mickey, we're dealing too much with Jimmy Kimmel. I don't have time to deal with Hawk.

[Host]

And you know that cameraman's just going.

[John Holmberg]

That'S mine right there. He loved it. I was. I flinched. It was on the Ravens too, in Baltimore.

[Co-host 3]

Ah.

[Co-host 2]

Huh. Hey, I just got a call. What did he say?

[John Holmberg]

Here's the clip, Mr. Mouse. What the hell?

[Co-host 2]

That was on my network. You mother. Don't have a delay button. I got trouble on my hands with Kimmel. And you're running around screaming at each other. Ha ha.

[John Holmberg]

Right there on Disney. Loved it. Dying laughing at it too.

[Co-host 1]

So should have Goofy throw that line out.

[John Holmberg]

That would be a tough one. I'm not even gonna play with that. It'd be great though. But yeah, Disney's got enough on their hands and nobody hit the button because they were live without a delay. Why are you doing that? Considering all the trouble and all the fear of the FCC leaning down on broadcasts and all this stuff, you go live without a button. Better have a button just in case Aman Ross St. Brown says something like that again. Oh, yeah, that next commercial break. I bet you they rebuilt the delay. Give me eight seconds. Rebuild that delay. We're not going dead live with this thing. No one would know. You can't possibly know.

[Co-host 2]

Ha ha. That's right. Next time. Next time, you mother. Drop that word on my network, there's gonna be hell to be. You'll have two ears up your ass.

[Host]

Meanwhile, Brennaman's sitting there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Host]

You know, with no Brennaman.

[John Holmberg]

Probably had a strobe sitting there in Cincinnati. Let's pop on the game and see what's going on. I bet it's a good one. You have got to be kidding me. Everybody's still. And Scott Van Pelt's gonna interview him about it. I mean, brother, he's texting SVP right now. You know, I was talking about Baltimore. That's the capital of the world.

[Co-host 2]

Haha. See, don't say that on my network.

[John Holmberg]

And tonight, that very same Disney network that clutched its pearls and caved wildly to an FCC lean, sticking Jimmy Kimmel back on the air because they caved again the other way. They have no foundation. Abc, none. They blew it twice. They blew it in the initial suspension. And I do not like Jimmy Kimmel. Don't get me. Right. I don't think he's funny. I don't get the show. I don't understand it. But he's allowed to do it. And it's def. I don't find pointed political attacks hilarious. I never do. I never have. I think clever humor is to take shots at them. And I still don't know where you stand. I think that's better. Like the Carson, Letterman, early Letterman, not now. And I don't care right or left. Gutfeld swings at too many pitches. I find him going the exact opposite way. Although I kind of like a couple of people that he brings on that show regularly. Outside of that, it's too much. It's too political. But ABC caved wildly to Jimmy Kimmel and. And destroyed him because they were afraid of losing money and now afraid of losing even more money going the opposite way. They've said, okay, if we put him back on, well, everybody shut up. You guys are cowards. And they're putting him back on tonight. And you know, the affiliates still aren't going to run the Kimmel show. And a lot of the Sinclair or whatever they're called, they run the local affairs. Those are the people that really get hit. Everybody wants to talk about ratings and all. The show gets no ratings. It doesn't. Broadcast TV ratings don't matter. If Kimmel has a viral moment. That's what they take to national advertising. So we had over like 13 million views in two days on this thing that Jimmy did with Guillermo. And people lose their minds over that. It's like this is the kind of reach we can get if you get involved in the show. Local affiliates are the ones that care about ratings and numbers because that they have to sell to like the Doug Hopkins of the world and people who do local ads. Yeah.

[Co-host 1]

Where you want your ads.

[John Holmberg]

Right. And then you say you're paying an astronomical fee. Where do I put these? And you want them, you know, on shows people are watching. And if that's not happening, you're not getting the buy. So he'll be back tonight. And the Sinclair affiliates have asked for an ABC to make Jimmy apologize. And also they say he's got to give money to the Turning Point foundation, which is also ham hand or heavy handed mob tactic to basically say you're gonna pay or we're not gonna broadcast. It's their right as a company to do that.

[Co-host 1]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

And I would never cave to that unless it was in my contract that said, here's the fines that exist for your mistakes. Here's the amount of those said fines. You can't just make them up arbitrarily and say, we didn't like what you did. Here's a fine. Trust me. And what Jimmy can do tonight is go out and say, and I knowing that he knows Adam Carolla and Adam Carolla having given me the best advice I've ever gotten, which is never apologize to a mob. A mob is never right apologize to a person. A mob will never accept an apology because they can't get together why they're mad in the first place. When Adam said that to me, we were backstage at his podcast. And I'm like that, thank God I was listening. That is the best advice I've ever gotten in my life. Never apologize to a mob. A mob doesn't know why it's mad. It's just mad. It's just whipped up into a frenzy. And ABC doesn't know if it's mad at Jimmy or the FCC or its affiliate. So it doesn't know what it's doing. And it's basically throwing out, you better pay him. You better. And what if I was Jimmy Kimmel tonight? I'd be like, look, here's what happened. We all know what happened. I'm leaving it in the past. I'm not going to apologize because I don't feel I did anything wrong unless he feels he did something terribly wrong. I'll apologize to individuals privately, but I'm not going to go on TV here tonight and do some false apology because it'll just get me in trouble. Also, you can't tell me I have to make a donation unless I want to. You can suggest it and you can say, here's what we're going to do. And ABC can do it, the affiliates can do it. But Jimmy doesn't have to and shouldn't unless he absolutely feels like this is what I need to do to be. To justify what has happened. If they are. But it's called wage theft.

[Co-host 1]

And so if he did, like on the other side, like, came out, apologized, Sinclair, and donate, then it's done, right?

[John Holmberg]

No, because when you apologize to a mob, what you've done to the mob is admit wrongdoing. They don't accept your apology, what will happen? They keep going. You've seen this.

[Co-host 1]

You've seen this. That Jimmy will be constantly having to donate to stuff or getting involved.

[John Holmberg]

It sets the precedent that next time they don't like what he says, they fine him.

[Co-host 1]

I don't know. I'm just wondering because of the society of things moving so fast that this thing isn't about to say if he apologized or doesn't.

[John Holmberg]

You're worried about the semantics of it. You got to think bigger picture. Yeah, yeah. This is gone already. But Jimmy's next move determines what happens to Jimmy. Ten times in the future, somebody else goes, he pays. I don't like what he said. There. Now a comedian. Everyone who tells jokes and takes swings is going to get a call from Clorox, is going to get a call from Tide, is going to get a. We didn't like what you said about us. We give a ton of money to a children's foundation. If you don't do it, we're pulling advertising and we'll get these people to do it. And we're right wing, like Sinclair Broadcasting. So now we. You make a religious joke now. Boom. The dogs are drooling.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

At the idea that they'll get donations if they lean on you. You cannot do that, apologize to people. You get put in positions to apologize to people individually. You cannot apologize to a mob. It doesn't work. They get more frothy. When's the last time any public apology went off without a hitch? Gilbert Gottfried came here after his joke about Japan after the tsunami. He's a comedian. He was. He was a controversial dirty comic. And he was also the voice of Aflac. And he made a joke after the nuclear waste went into the water, after the tsunami in Japan, made something about Godzilla happen. Something else. It was insensitive, but it was Gilbert.

[Co-host 1]

Godfrey it was a series of jokes.

[John Holmberg]

It was Gilbert Gottfried on his social media. Affleck was so offended. We can't have Gilbert Godfrey be part of us anymore. So we'll get a sound alike to do it. Which doesn't make any sense. If he's so offensive, you'd think you'd want to break ties with him completely. Gilbert apologized. It cost him 200. I think he said 275,000 a year was the.

[Co-host 1]

That's 500.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I think it was a 275. And he got some bonus in the or beginning, like, here's up front. And you get either way, a lot of money. He said it was. It was 275 grand a year. And I said, what's the biggest mistake you made in that Affleck thing? It wasn't a jokes. And he goes, no, it was apologizing. It lit him on fire. When I apologized, I got fired the day after I apologized because I basically told him, you're right, I'm a jerk. Holmberg's morning sickness. And they're. Instead of letting him go on which would A next joke he tells, they're like, he's doing it again. He couldn't be Gilbert Godfrey that they'd hired. So Jimmy goes out tonight. We'll find out what Jimmy's made of. Because if I'm Jimmy Kimmel, I go out there tonight and I'm like, look, I'm not. I'm not bringing this up the way you want me to. And I'd give an approved script to Disney, and I'd give an approved monologue to my bosses, and I'd go off the cuff, and I'd be like, they think that this is going to make me do what they want me to do. And you can cut this show all you want. I'll go to a podcast. ABC seems to think this is the only game in town. I'll just leave. And I'm sure he's got something in his contract that says something else. But I dare them to fire me. And if they fire me and pay me my 17 million a year for a couple more years, his contract's up in December. If I was his agent, I'd be like, you go say whatever you want within FCC guidelines and do your show tonight. And if ABC chooses to fire you, we sit out till December and we start the Jimmy Kimmel podcast in January and fly the finger. This thing's gotten so out of hand with him, it's ridiculous. Ridiculous. But, yeah. The fact that they're like, you're going to give a fine. You're going to pay this. You're going to. No, we didn't agree to that before. You can't arbitrarily just make me pay money to what you say you want me to pay money to. No. Let me talk to the people that I've offended individually. Line them up. Who. If they're really that mad, they'll show up and they'll take my apology. Or they'll have. They'll hear me. Otherwise, they're just shouting into the ether about how angry they are on social media. And it means nothing because like you said, in a few days, it'll all be over for them. They'll be moved on to the next. Next thing that pissed him off.

[Co-host 1]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

And the second you start paying fines because your boss says you owe us money for this, that doesn't end. That never ends. That just opens the door to other people saying, that'll teach them. You paid that other group a bunch of money. And when they were mad, what about me?

[Host]

Kick down.

[John Holmberg]

That's what the mob does.

[Host]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

That's the scariest thing, is that the mob will go, like, give us a few bucks and we'll make this go away. And then once people find that out, the next group comes in and goes, we didn't like what you said about Brady's Kidney, so we're the Kidney Society. I'm not going to apologize to you. We got a lot of powerful friends and we're start leaning on them unless you give us some money. It's like, oh, boy, now I'm being. I'm getting shaken down every time I make a joke. Comedians can't live like that. That's why we have them. And I don't even consider Jimmy much of a comedian. He's just. He's an attack artist, which is fine if you like it, but. And he's totally entitled to it. But I hate. I hate what's going on there. I absolutely can't stand it. And people are all grumpy about this.

[Co-host 1]

Seemed like it was starting to lift the other way. Getting back to as far as, like, cancel.

[John Holmberg]

Right. But I don't even consider this cancel culture.

[Co-host 1]

It's not cancel culture, but it turns. It has turned into it a little bit.

[John Holmberg]

Cancel culture, to me, is when the.

[Co-host 1]

Because they're digging up the other.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's just ridiculous. Trying to be right. And it kind of leans into the cancel cultures. If, you know a group of women in Gilbert get mad at you and start a grassroots effort to get you kicked off the air because they're mad at home. When the FCC gets involved and your employers cave. It's not cancel culture. It's mob tactics. It's, it's, it's government interference. It's just not, it's not good. The FCC's never been proactive like that. They've been reactive to things. They've never told someone. We got our eyes on you. Of course you do. That's your job. But you got your eyes on me for something that's already predetermined, wrong, that you've written. And you've got some pretty hazy FCC rules out there considering. One of them is, is this beneficial to the community? Based on whose standards? That's a pretty gray area to go after people for money. You could do that all day. Yeah, in the broadcast world, this thing's gone nuts. But you know, Kimmel's podcast would do better than the ABC show for sure. This guy says, come on, John, Kimmel's a two faced pile of crap. Look at the man show and how far he sold his soul to move up. No, I'm not saying that. I, I don't know Jimmy to say one way or the other, but I don't, you know, my perception of what it is. Yeah, if he caves and apologizes, that's fine. You know, people are making this emotional. I don't like Jimmy, therefore he should do this, or I, I hope he gets canceled. But it has nothing to do with your emotions. Whether you like it or not. It's what is happening is right, wrong, or otherwise. You know what I think?

[Co-host 3]

I think Tylenol should sponsor the show tonight and we should make Jimmy Moore our word.

[John Holmberg]

That's what I think.

[Co-host 3]

Get Tylenol inside of Jimmy.

[Co-host 1]

That's what's happening.

[Co-host 3]

That's right.

[John Holmberg]

His mother.

[Co-host 3]

That's right. He's so much. Tylenol went off the that now it's showing is he can't control him. He's dumb.

[John Holmberg]

Will Tylenol sue Trump?

[Host]

Oh, I'm sure.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, I would, I thought about it. I would in a second. If I was Tylenol, I'd be like, well, the hell did this come from? Yeah, now Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Yale, there's a whole bunch of things. I've gotten a few people email. They've all kind of backed that there's a possibility Tylenol is linked to autism. That's my point. You can hate the man all you want.

[Co-host 2]

What if.

[Co-host 1]

Is there a run on Tylenol for people that love it?

[John Holmberg]

I'll tell you right now, hey, if.

[Co-host 1]

They'Re going to take it off the shelves, I'm stocking up.

[Co-host 3]

Here's how it works. Everyone hates the Trump. Everyone hates the Trump. But if you're a pregnant lefty and you decide not to have one of those blessed abortions you guys love so much, I bet you don't take Tylenol.

[John Holmberg]

I bet you a billion dollars is a pregnant lady who hates Trump right now who's thinking, well, I better not. Just in case. I wouldn't. I could hate Trump all day. And if Biden had said this, the right would be losing their minds. Everybody who hated Biden be like, ah.

[Co-host 3]

He'S making it up.

[John Holmberg]

You can't trust him. Remember Covid and everybody, we just. We can't do anything. But I'll tell you right now, if I had a pregnant wife and she had Tylenol, I'd get rid of it. I don't know. You don't like Trump and all, but just in case, let's. What if he's right? What if he and Froggy over there from the three from the Little Rascals is right? Don't call me Froggy. Well, you don't talk like Froggy, and I won't call you Froggy. Froggy's one of my favorite Little Rascals, by the way. He was how they found a kid who sounded like that back in the 30s, and that's had to be a disease. This kid's dying of something, and we put him on a comedy show.

[Co-host 1]

Well, I think he. He created that voice.

[John Holmberg]

A little boy that was so registering, so deep. No child could do that without harming his voice at all. He's a little kid. If your kid started doing that, he's a demon. I think he had something wrong with him in the 30s. He didn't pay attention to that. It's like, that kid sounds funny. Get him on a show.

[Co-host 3]

I ask you a question or two.

[John Holmberg]

This kid's great. Nobody sounds like that. He's dying of something, but get him on there before he croaks. How come you sound like that, Froggy?

[Co-host 3]

I was in an iron lung until I was four.

[John Holmberg]

Everything you say is funny.

[Co-host 2]

Get him on the show. Ha.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I don't look at the Jimmy Kimmel thing as political. I look at it as just asinine nonsense that it's emotional. Too emotional. Take the emotions out. I wouldn't care if Jimmy got fired, but that's up to ABC. This wasn't ABC's choice, as proven by them flipping and flopping all over the place. There's Froggy. Brett found Froggy. Froggy was my favorite. Why don't you want to buy some of our lemonade?

[Co-host 3]

I don't have no money.

[John Holmberg]

That kid's got some.

[Co-host 3]

And besides, it's too hot in here.

[John Holmberg]

He's like four. He's dying of something. There were his dad smoked cigars and blew them in his face all day.

[Co-host 3]

I don't have no money. And besides, it's too hot in here. That's right. RFK Jr. Is right. And thank you, Froggy Jr. I appreciate it.

[John Holmberg]

Buy some of our lemonade.

[Co-host 3]

I don't have money. And besides, it's too hot.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you, Froggy.

[Co-host 3]

He's exactly right. Tylenol is too expensive and we don't have that.

[John Holmberg]

I just encourage people not to get caught up in the emotional. That's. That's someone not on my team. So I root for that to happen because I forget who said it. It was a Republican or was it Democrat who said something. It was about something that passed. And he goes, this is the worst day ever. And somebody said, this is your side one. And he goes, yeah, but when the other team's in charge, and they will be, this is going to swing back on us so hard. And I feel that way about this kind of stuff. When you're rooting for people on the left to lose or the right to lose, you know that's going to switch. So the crazier it gets on one side, they're going to swing. It never swings back to middle. It always swings back to crazy the other way. And that's what this kind of feels like. It's like.

[Co-host 1]

And that's what people. Some people consider it's adjusting.

[John Holmberg]

No, it's not adjusting. It's not radical whips of. You know, it's. It's. It's. It's an ocean that's just. It's never calm seas. It's never, like, common sense. Speaking of politics, though, I didn't know Raul Grijalva had died. Did you know that? No. Yeah. Because they're having a special election and they say that the person that's going to win is. I think it's his wife.

[Host]

Oh, yeah, the guy from Tucson. No, I think it's his daughter.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's his daughter. Family?

[Host]

Pretty sure, yeah. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

In what other industry outside of just succession of CEOs? Like, I can't imagine if I was in charge of something and I got killed, like, Megan, taking over that place would be done only in politics. Remember Sonny Bono smashed into that tree, and his wife, no one had ever heard of just became the seat Shearer.

[Co-host 2]

She just.

[John Holmberg]

She just became like a senator.

[Host]

It's the distinguished gentleman all over again.

[John Holmberg]

You do it like you've known him. You had to hear a few of his ideas.

[Co-host 2]

I don't know. Maybe I should.

[John Holmberg]

It happens all the time down there with Tucson again with Mark Kelly. At least he was an astronaut and stuff, and, like, he had. Who we knew, but his wife goes through that horrible event down in Tucson, and they're like, mark Kelly can do this. Like, just takes it over. Only in politics. I know for a fact if Brady didn't make it through his kidney surgery the other day, staring at Ronnie in here would be weird. It wouldn't be the same. It's in my contract for Halva's daughter. And I don't know that. I mean, she's just running on name recognition. I mean, does she have accomplishments? It's a pretty impressive thing to just go, yeah, I can do it. Sonny Bono's wife dropped everything she was doing and said, I'm doing this. Like you're qualified? I think so.

[Host]

So does that mean in a couple years, we may have the Kirby Report?

[John Holmberg]

That's right.

[Co-host 1]

Be ready.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, man, I don't know what's going on here, but since my dad died, this can't be too hard. Yeah, guess. Kirbs. Go ahead and.

[Co-host 3]

Go ahead.

[John Holmberg]

Happy Friday, everybody. We made it, man.

[Co-host 1]

You'd be upset. She wouldn't miss any words.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, man, is there an ashtray in yours? Just the old man's skull, or what are we doing? I don't know. Any other jobs? Well, so you're a roofer, and you fall off the roof, and your wife shows up to work on Monday.

[Co-host 2]

Take it over.

[John Holmberg]

It's like, huh, I don't want it.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah, like you said, it happens all the time.

[John Holmberg]

It's politics in succession with, like, CEOs and family members that usually are kind of a little tied to the business. These people just show up because they lived with them. It's only in politics where a guy, he's dead, his wife's gonna do the job. Like, really. It's not yard work. Holmberg's morning sickness, I don't think. But evidently you're qualified for it. I don't know that that happens. If. If Brett dies tomorrow and Matthia comes in here, it might be kind of fun, but.

[Co-host 2]

I wouldn't hire her.

[John Holmberg]

No, you should just start showing up. I'm taking over for Brett and Like, is that how it works now? And I think it's just because everybody feels like, oh, they've been through a lot, so don't say anything. Like, you can't fire somebody. You can't tell them you can't have this job. It's like, you're not qualified. Like, what's my dad's job? I know, I know you're going through a lot. Come on, you were working at the Piggly Wiggly a week ago. What do you. What do you know? And maybe she's super qualified. I didn't do any research at all, but it does seem like the one that always got me was Sonny Bono. There's been a couple of them where the wife just takes over, or the husband.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah. And. And I had a friend that he and his brother had a business, and the brother passes away, the wife says, steps in. I'm going to take the other half.

[John Holmberg]

Like, well, yeah, but that's. Again, that's going to work. That's different for me because it's ownership. Yeah, it's just a job. Being a senator is just a job. You're not a CEO of anything. You're just showing up to work one day, just like my dad used to go do construction. It's like, you show up here, it's. If you owned this place, it would make sense, because through, you know, state law, she also owns it. So it would make sense for her to go. Okay, I gotta. I gotta make sure this doesn't fall apart. It's not going anywhere. Just because he died. It's. You know, I'm either gonna sell it or I'm gonna step in. I think I know what I'm doing, but with politics, it's just a job.

[Host]

Can you imagine showing up at the work site for Dan?

[John Holmberg]

Well, I'm here.

[Host]

I'm taking over, guys.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I'd like you guys to call me Dan Jr. Even though that's not my name, because I know you guys miss him like I do. Do you have any idea what your dad did? I know he showed up here every day in that truck. And I got a hard hat, and I've got hats and gloves. And I know he didn't do any of the field work either. I don't know what he did, to be honest.

[Co-host 1]

Get back to what you're doing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, just keep it. Keep it going. Keep it up. You know, summon the ghost of my father and start running around here yelling at people. I don't know what he did. I gotta be honest with you, but I'm taking that job. That was a healthy paycheck. I'm gonna steal that.

[Co-host 1]

Gonna spend some time with my secretary.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I think that's what I'll do. I'll just go higher. I'm gonna go interview secretaries. Mr. Homer didn't have a secretary. Well, the new one does. The new one's got big problems are changing. Things change around here. I gotta get. My dad wasn't very organized. Clearly that's why he's gone. Yeah, and that wouldn't have flown if my mom showed up at Hunt Corporation.

[Co-host 2]

My husband passed and now I'm the.

[John Holmberg]

New vice president of job bids. And like, what the hell? She doesn't know what she's doing.

[Co-host 1]

Does everyone have their lunches?

[John Holmberg]

But in Senate it seems to make sense. Just send her. Send him. Just a takeover. It's weird. Speaking of astronauts like Mark Kelly, I just saw that down there in Alabama where they have NASA school, they have astronauts and they just graduated like 12 of them and they think this is the group that'll end up on Mars. Like a few of them, there's five girls. Five girls, yeah. They think this is the generation. This is the generation of astronauts that will be on Mars. And that's kind of cool. And then I was looking at them and man, liver spots just started popping. They're in our 20s and I started to wonder how old all those guys were for the Apollo missions. And they were in their 20s. Those dudes went to the moon. A couple of them were 30, but it was. They were young. And then you start thinking about it like a human body isn't gonna deal with all that stress testing and you know the stuff they put them through with g forces after 35, 40, your knees hurt when you just get up for breakfast.

[Co-host 1]

I can't imagine.

[John Holmberg]

So you forget that these, that they're so. They're young. They're going to shoot on up to Mars here. So I find pretty outrageously great. But yeah, there's like. Was it 10 new astronauts?

[Co-host 1]

What's the trip again?

[John Holmberg]

What's the tomorrow? We were talking about that attack to go black. I had heard it was a five year deal, but it's. I think it was like four months to get there. But there's like preparations and all sorts of different things. And they have to plan it to like fire back properly or you'll miss Earth and never come back. Because you have to guess where Earth's going to be. You have to. They kind of know, but I mean to get it right. So there's like this Whole process. And also the aging thing's going to change because you don't age the same in space because it's just different. It's weird. So they're trying to figure all the health benefits out in that. So they got some process.

[Host]

Seven to nine months for what? To get to Mars.

[John Holmberg]

It's seven to nine months depending on the planetary alignment. So I'll tell you this, if I'm going on a trip and you don't, you, you got to give me a 60 day. You gotta give me a 60 day give on whether or not it's seven or nine months. I'm gonna wait till you narrow that down a little bit. If you tell ME San Diego's five to 31 hours, like, no, no, no, no, we're not going there. You don't know where it is.

[Co-host 1]

You'll be fine. Nine months in that tube.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you don' seven nine. What if it's ten and we don't have enough food? You'll be all right again.

[Co-host 1]

Now we know how they'll deal with it. Just from the movies.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Co-host 1]

Be put in that pod and you're put to sleep for.

[John Holmberg]

That's pretty good. They did that up at the. They knock you out and then you wake up on Mars.

[Host]

I get pissed enough at sky harbor when it's an hour delay, let alone three, four months.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, when the, when the pilot comes on, he goes, we got a headwind, it's gonna add about 30 minutes. It's been a four or four or five hour flight. I'm like, okay, that's reasonable. But he said four to six days.

[Co-host 2]

What?

[John Holmberg]

You don't know where it is? I'm getting on.

[Host]

These guys are months.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, these guys are dealing with two months. No, no, no, you narrow that down to like a week or two, it's going to take us, I don't know, 33 to 40 weeks. I'm like, that sounds better. But it's still like a month and a half off. Give me 30 to 33 weeks. Like pregnancy. We're pretty sure when it's supposed to happen. It's a roundabout three week window. I'm not going to Mars with the seven to nine month plan.

[Co-host 1]

No, there's Midway. There's like a space Buc EE's up there you can stop at.

[John Holmberg]

Right. Well, we got to put a space buc ee's up. What are they going to eat? You got to have roadie food. Somebody's got to get the Funyuns. But yeah, it's a. Those guys, they were so young. Like the picture of them. I was like, man, oh man. And then it makes you feel useless because here I am, 53 and I. I don't even like getting on the roof and these guys are floating around GS and wanting to go to Mars and like 26, and I'm like, man, my ambition at 26 was nothing. I had just gotten into radio. I wasn't sure how to do anything. Still not well.

[Co-host 1]

If you went back and they said, you want to be in the space mission, you want to in the crew, would you have gone for it?

[John Holmberg]

Heck yeah. If. But if. But it would had to been like one of those politicians, wives. They had to understand, I don't know what I'm doing. And I'm gonna add nothing to this for at least the first. No, we're gonna train you okay on the job, though. Yeah. Because if you start training me here on the ground, you're gonna find out how stupid I am, and I'm not gonna get to go. So I either get in the capsule today and you train me on the way, or I'm out. Because if I, if they started to sit me in a classroom, they'd, they'd learn one thing about me. He can pick up the basics, but he's really good at Royal Match. That's really all he's doing is playing that game on the phone.

[Co-host 1]

They're not even gonna put you in the classroom. They'll just say, step in this thing. We're gonna take you in a circle, see how you do first.

[John Holmberg]

Everybody remembers the Moonrakers. That's all. That's all we think. That's all we think that astronauts do because the, the G Force machine that they spun James Bond around it.

[Co-host 1]

You can't hold yourself.

[John Holmberg]

No. And I, you know, like, I probably throw up a couple times or pass out. Nothing wrong with that. I kind of enjoyed that, though. Brett, I have another test for you. Oh, no, I don't think I'm gonna go ahead and say, ah, shoot, I have to print it again. Hold on. Well, I'm just gonna have it. I'll just, I'll just spin my, my screen around. Brady, you want to come over and take a look? Can he get through this? And this one's not even bad. Can he get through this without laughing? Hold on. What date is it? It's Tuesday. I sent this to myself earlier, so I'd find was way earlier than that. So I don't think he can get through. There it is. I don't think he can get Through Brady. How fast do you think he can read that headline without, like, laughing?

[Co-host 1]

3.

[John Holmberg]

Get Mike, go over your mic. How long I go?

[Co-host 1]

Three seconds.

[John Holmberg]

Three second. You think he gets seconds? I don't. I think he.

[Co-host 1]

I think he. I mean, that's how long it'll. We'll hear the laugh in about three seconds.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. I don't think he gets through the first word.

[Co-host 2]

What?

[John Holmberg]

Come on, cuz. No, the anticipation of what he's not supposed to think. It's not what he's saying. It's what he's thinking that will ruin Brett on this. Right. I don't think he gets through word one of what I'm about to. What I'm about to play. Do you think you get. Brad, are you ready?

[Host]

Sure.

[John Holmberg]

I'm gonna find my news music for Brett. It's in here somewhere. Somewhere it is. I don't know where anything is anymore. All right, let's see. This it? Nope, that's not it. Jesus. What happened? All my stuff. Oh, for crying out loud. This machine. Don't worry.

[Co-host 1]

We'll be getting some new stuff very soon.

[John Holmberg]

All right, we'll do it for Fox baseball. How about that? Here's Brett, you have to read this.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah. Cause it's.

[John Holmberg]

It's newsy and it's it. And now let's turn to sports with our sportscaster Brett Vessel. Brett, anything in the headlines today ain't suspect. I told you. He can't see that word. He can't see that word. And he. And his brain turns off. All right, now. Now you've seen it.

[Co-host 1]

Say it.

[John Holmberg]

No, you can't do it. The headline says, ancient spear throwing tool. See, ancient spear throwing tool brings fun and history to Vermont competition. And when I saw that, I'm like, brett can't read that.

[Co-host 2]

It is fun.

[John Holmberg]

It's nothing. It's truly. And it's a fat white woman throwing some sort of thing. It has no anything to it, but I knew you couldn't see that without being instant a child.

[Host]

Do me.

[John Holmberg]

You want to try to do it for real? Take a breath. Take a breath. I don't think you can. You can't do it, and I don't do it.

[Co-host 1]

Maybe the breaking news would help better.

[John Holmberg]

What do you mean? Like the song? Yeah, that's what I was looking for.

[Co-host 1]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

All right, let's see if I can find that. If I.

[Co-host 1]

A little more serious.

[John Holmberg]

It is. A little bit more. Well, maybe it's an Olympic event.

[Co-host 1]

There we go.

[John Holmberg]

All right, let's go out to the track and field. Area where Brett Fesley is going to be calling the next event. Brett, anything to tell us about the event you're calling?

[Host]

Thank you, Johnny. It is a.

[John Holmberg]

I work with a child. Can't say it. Yeah. There's a picture of someone throwing the spear as well, and you just can't.

[Co-host 1]

That doesn't help. If it was just the head, I'm.

[John Holmberg]

Telling you, it just has to be. This is. There's nothing about this that's bad. But his frame has been so Americanized that he looks at that and I know if there were friends around, you'd be looking around going, anybody else see it?

[Co-host 2]

Can you believe. You believe they printed that?

[John Holmberg]

Like, yeah, there's. What's wrong with that?

[Co-host 2]

Do you believe this?

[Co-host 1]

How would you talk about.

[John Holmberg]

You don't. You don't talk about it.

[Co-host 2]

That's.

[John Holmberg]

Brett's blown away that it's out there.

[Co-host 2]

I can't believe they printed that.

[John Holmberg]

Like, why. It's a. It's Vermont. There's no fear in Vermont of that being a problem.

[Co-host 2]

We should have an ancient spear throwing contest up here in Concord.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I don't know if it's cities or in Vermont. Montpelier. Is that one. I don't know. Is that. I don't know where Mont is. Hol's morning sickness. Nobody knows.

[Co-host 1]

Burlington.

[John Holmberg]

Is that. The code factory's up there. I don't know where.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah.

[Host]

Either way, New Hearts ends up there.

[John Holmberg]

No. Was that from. Yeah. Actually, truthfully, it's in New Hampshire.

[Host]

Oh, I thought it was in Vermont.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it's the beginning of Newhart. The show. I love this fact is just B roll from the beginning of On Golden Pond. Same clips. So they took clips from On Golden Pond that they didn't use in the movie of them driving and they did it for. And that's at Squam Lake up in New Hampshire. Oh. Because I want to live there someday. I love you.

[Co-host 1]

Still would.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that place at the barn that I was looking at six, seven years ago, it's for sale again. I keep my eyes.

[Co-host 1]

Come on.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it was 750 in 20. 18 to 19. Now it's a million.

[Co-host 1]

Not bad.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's not bad. It's a nice jump for the person who got it and they haven't touched it. Built in 1790, but that's up on Squam Lake. Actually, that's in Lake Waka Wack. Yeah, Lake Wakawa.

[Host]

See, other people are emailing and said they were laughing.

[John Holmberg]

Of course they were laughing, Brett. You didn't deliver it In a serious man. No, I did. And I'm not saying you're the only one. I'm saying that a bunch of idiots.

[Host]

Crandall and Matthew Smith, I mean, they're all laughing too.

[John Holmberg]

Come on. Everybody's laughing. Because you can't hear reaction. You're not laughing at the innocuous headline. If there's a spear throwing contest in Vermont and they have an ancient spear throwing tool to help them, and then a fat white woman throws a spear. Hilarious. To see if what I'm laughing at is the fat white lady playing with ancient tools. You're a moron. But I saw that. And I'm like, he can't do this. There's no possible way. And to go to your side. And I'm surprised you. I don't know if you've seen this. Did you see the. In Florida, the Burmese python threw up the deer.

[Co-host 1]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Do yourself a favor today and Google search. Burmese python vomits deer. It's on the UCLA cheerleader bulimia diet. Evidently, it ate a whole deer and then it purged it back up whole. It's like Bambi's mom came back out of a snake. And they. And they watched it. They got. I don't know, I didn't see any video, but I saw a bunch of pictures as it was happening. I'm surprised somebody had to videotape this. And they're just waiting for it to get on our social media so they can make money. It throws up the whole deer. It ate it whole and it throws it up whole. And it's all deer. Like nothing happened to it yet. It's dead.

[Co-host 1]

It's an adult. Or is it a fawn?

[John Holmberg]

It's a good sized deer.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I don't know. It's like somewhere between Bambi and Bambi's mom size. It's not a fawn. Yeah, the spots are gone. It's deer and it is gross. And the python ate it. And I went. That's how they stay so slim, you know? Is that they're bulimic. We didn't know that.

[Co-host 1]

They purge if you interrupt their eating.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they purge after a big binging. They binge. I'm gonna eat that whole deer. It's like the other pythons are like, you're gonna get fat.

[Host]

The Karen Carpenter over here.

[John Holmberg]

What? How do you stay so slim? I watched you eat a whole deer.

[Co-host 2]

I don't know. It's just who I am. It's my metabolism. It's a gift.

[John Holmberg]

But really, what she's doing is Throwing up her meals. But in Florida, they've been searching for these pythons like crazy. They're taking down whole deers, which means, guess what's coming, Brady? A kid one of these days. These pythons are out of hand down there.

[Co-host 1]

Kids, dogs.

[John Holmberg]

If it was any other state but Florida, where it wasn't fun to have pythons and hunt them, if this was a normal state, like say, I don't know, here, and we had pythons all over the place, we would have like a massive eradication program we took seriously. It wouldn't be on like fan boats and beers and like we do the python roundups. Yeah, we'd have the military involved. Somehow or another. You've got Florida, man, as your only defense against pythons. And my guess is most of them want a pet and they're giving them good money for it. But you can ask the citizens to do so much. If you've got a python problem in your, in your state, it's probably a military operation at a certain degree to go, all right, Keep the people away from. This is gonna get out of hand. Kids are next. Cause there's hillbilly Floridians that are gonna wander their children out there to be python hunters. And the next thing you know, we're gonna be sticking our fingers in the throat of pythons trying to get that kid back.

[Co-host 1]

115 pound python swallows the 77 pound deer.

[John Holmberg]

It's a kid size big, the kid sized deer. And it. And did you see the picture of it puked up? Yeah, it's the same. It's just wet.

[Co-host 1]

And then it's just like the tube expands.

[John Holmberg]

It just sat and it's like, I can't, I can't do this to myself. I'm gonna get so fat. And it barfed it back up and its mouth was massive. Crazy.

[Co-host 1]

If you're in Florida, don't go 25 bucks a foot. Yeah, catching a python, that's the. You know, you make some side money.

[John Holmberg]

A few hundred bucks here and there to risk your life with pythons. And you know that they're dragging their little shirtless Floridian boys around. I don't know. I don't even think they sell kids clothes in Florida. Every time I see a kid in Florida, shirts off.

[Co-host 2]

My mama says I can go to school like this. So I can go to school like this. I'm Floridian.

[Co-host 1]

Bottoms are the only things required.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. You gotta wear the jean shorts. Cut off jean shorts. You gotta look like the, the Mountain Dew logo. That's it. That's all you're allowed to do.

[Co-host 2]

I can't make schools Monday through Thursday because we's going out.

[John Holmberg]

Hermes.

[Co-host 2]

Python hunting.

[John Holmberg]

You're gonna get eaten.

[Co-host 2]

I'm not.

[John Holmberg]

You are, though. Yeah, you are. And will it still be fun, Florida, when a couple of the sons of Florida gets stuck inside that python?

[Co-host 2]

I run this.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's basically what the python would say. God, we need a phrase like that as whites. What a great thing to scream when you're happy, man. Anyway, I wonder what his jersey sales look like today. Oh, my NFL doc. God, it was just fantastic. Says John. The pythons are in the Everglades where people don't actually live. Yeah, they're all over the place. So they wouldn't be hunting them. I know they're up in the Everglades because that's where they thrive. But they're out of control. As they told the population of Florida, hey, go get them. Would you ever do that? It's like, we got a bear problem. It's up to you guys. I'd be pretty disappointed in my leadership.

[Host]

What, am I paying taxes?

[John Holmberg]

Well, they don't in Florida. That's true. That's like, you don't pay taxes, so you go kill the snakes. I'd participate in that if Katie. I know you would. And you. And you're no threat to, like. You're not getting eaten by any snakes.

[Co-host 2]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Look at you. Like, Jesus Christ. Do what he says.

[Co-host 1]

Get in the bag.

[John Holmberg]

He just. They. Did we lose this one? Just get in the bag. He's waving his family in.

[Co-host 2]

I didn't even know snakes had arms.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I do. Come on, everybody in the bag. This guy wins.

[Co-host 1]

Arizona man gets over a hundred pythons.

[Co-host 2]

They were, like, afraid of me or something.

[John Holmberg]

I couldn't do anything to him. Try to eat that guy. But yeah, if this. Yeah, if Katie Hobbs said that we've.

[Co-host 2]

Got a little bear problem, and I'd like to have the people of Arizona take care of it.

[John Holmberg]

Like, that's gotta be against the law. They have those leopards they keep down in Tucson.

[Co-host 1]

Well, they, you know, that's the hunters.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's what hunting is.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah, but as far as controlling population, that's what they.

[John Holmberg]

Sure, sure. There's something they know about.

[Co-host 1]

Two deer limit.

[John Holmberg]

You don't bring over, like, elephants from another world and say, it's on. You guys go crazy. Like, it's hunting. Makes sense. This is like, we got a massive problem with a huge predator. You guys do it. It's like, are you not Helping this, We'll put you guys to the test. I don't think I trust the general public to go out and kill off the. The murderous invader. Doesn't make sense to me. You do it. You got a whole military. Got the National Guard, you got all that stuff. Have them going traipsing through the swamps and take a weekend to go kill a bunch of them. Let them use their weapons.

[Co-host 1]

Why? We've got volunteers.

[John Holmberg]

Make it training. Yeah, but you're still paying these National Guard guys.

[Co-host 1]

Yeah, one weekend.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you do your weekend out there with your machine guns, you get to do some shooting, which is why you signed up in the first place. You start knocking off some of these pythons, just leave them for dead, they got a problem. Can't imagine that. Go over to that KTR and have Katie Hobbs sitting there going, can't go.

[Co-host 2]

Out and kill some bears today. No, no, we got too many.

[John Holmberg]

Well, if one ends up on my property, I'll kill it. But I'm not gonna go look for that. Says, oh, my God. Stuck at a train and a truck full of orange vest wearing workers are staring at me, crying, laughing, alone. Thank you, fat spear throwing lady. It's the gifts we give. Brett can't even read the damn. Nothing about it was bad. It's hilarious. Nothing about it was bad. What do you got on the big board of musical? I don't know.

[Host]

Wake up Song brought to you by Action Ride Shop and pedal your ass away from them pythons. And now's the time to get that bike up and ready to go.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, a little fella. Sorry, birdie's distracted by a stuffed animal squirrel.

[Co-host 1]

I saw that.

[John Holmberg]

He's been there for days.

[Co-host 1]

No, he's been there, but the first.

[John Holmberg]

Time I saw orange, he's got a highlighter where his wiener is.

[Co-host 3]

Yeah, I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know if I can work with you guys anymore. Children, I swear, braid right in the middle of your set and starts to point at a stuffed animal that somebody put a highlighter in as a penis.

[Co-host 3]

Look at that.

[John Holmberg]

It works. It works as what?

[Co-host 1]

I mean, that looks good.

[John Holmberg]

What did you derail the whole show for this? Pee pee pens.

[Host]

Sorry, Josh.

[John Holmberg]

I'm talking about.

[Host]

All right, so action. I was gonna get you guys.

[John Holmberg]

You can't read a headline. He can't see piece.

[Host]

Ashton. Ride Stop is gonna get you guys on the trail right now. And they got some great deals on bikes. Going on a bunch of demo bikes that was in the rental fleet for ridiculously low prices. You want to pick up a new bike, they got that. Or if you want to get that old bike service, they're going to take care of that too. Doesn't matter if you bought it there or not. From Huffy's to Pivots. They got you covered. It is Action Ride Shop. Two locations right there on Gilbert Road in Southern Neog, and of course the brand new one on power Road and McDowell. On the list, Nine Inch Nails. A perfect drug for Tylenol.

[John Holmberg]

There it is. Great song. Perfect. That's the one. There we go.

[Co-host 3]

Do not take Tylenol.

[John Holmberg]

Don't. Did you see the whole press conference yesterday?

[Co-host 3]

No, don't take Tylenol. Don't take it. I mean, tough it out. I know. If you're feeling like you're pregnant and it all hurts and you want, don't take Tylenol.

[John Holmberg]

And then at the end he goes.

[Co-host 3]

Unless you absolutely have to.

[John Holmberg]

And I'm like, oh, no.

[Co-host 3]

Try to tough it out. Tough it out. Pregnancy can't be that hard. I've seen a lot of people do it. Melania gave birth to a nine foot boy.

[John Holmberg]

You've seen him. Baron's a big boy.

[Co-host 3]

No Tylenol, he's 18. No Tylenol, he's eighteen feet tall. He's one foot for every year. If you killed him in Florida, you'd be getting a hefty fee because he's a big kid. No snake's gonna eat Baron. Might work the other way.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know.

[Co-host 3]

A lot of people say Baron could eat a snake. Anyway. Don't take Tylenol. Ever. Melania didn't look how good my kids look. Maybe not Tiffany. And that was a different mother. She was probably sucking down Tylenol. That's what made her eyes so close together.

[John Holmberg]

I like that. Perfect drug. It is. That's perfect for all this Tylenol talk. And if you're taking Tylenol and you're not thinking about it, you can hate him all you want, but he made you think about it. If you hate Trump and you're pregnant and you're like, screw him, I'm taking extra Tylenol and your kid comes out all cockeyed. Oh, yeah. It's the worst feeling in the world to have him saying, I told you so. I like this one. This is a good wake up song right here. It's Nine Inch Nails Post concert psyching rock as well. It's the perfect drug. It's 98K upd. It's not weird.

[Co-host 1]

It's pretty cool.

[John Holmberg]

Actually no membership fee.

[Co-host 3]

I have heard enough of this.
