Before we get into the stinky emails, Brett just said something. He goes, john's name of that pillow. You said there's a side sleeper. It's got like a cutout in it. Oh, just do it. Verlo. Verlo. That's V E R L O. Go to that website. The mattresses are great. Top that off, match, cover that up. But that pillow with the. Are you a side sleeper, Brady? You sleep on your back. You have to because of all the machinery, right? I do, but I. I go to the side. But you're not like a guy who starts there. Yeah. 45 minutes an hour. Yeah. Side sleepers start there. That's a thing. You're a side sleeper? Yeah, I start on my back just right before I'm ready to go to bed, and then. Right, right on my side. I think you're against God if you sleep on your back like that. No, I can't. When I get into bed, I'm on my back. And then when it's time to go to sleep, it's like, hospitals are the only place you can do, like, back sleep like that. Even then, side sleeper pillow, they've got. It's a. It. It looks like somebody took a bite out of the middle of it. And you just jam it up, put it over your shoulder and, oh, my God. Changes everything. Verlo, I'd never even heard of it. Went over there, talked to Jonathan at Verlo. I was like, my God, what's this? And he's got all those beds in his showroom. And I just laid down. He goes, try it. And I put that pillow. I'm like, I want two of these immediately. This is happening now. Give me a couple hours to decide. You could leave the area. No kidding. While I was there, I Just started falling asleep because that pillow hit me and I'm like, oh, baby. It's like two in the afternoon. I was already comfortable on the bed. Oh, forget it. Anyway, yeah, that's great. Speaking of stinky people all the time, I got all these folks who are like. So I'm a department manager for an AV production company. We work in a warehouse. Understandably, everybody sweats, but there's a couple of people who just have horrible body odor. And I've had to give a warning in team meetings about, you know, making sure that we keep it as good as possible. But things haven't changed. One was an intern. I've let him go. But the other. But I have one guy that's someone I absolutely need. He's necessary to the company, but my fear is he's already looking around for other gigs. I don't want to ruffle feathers because how much we need him. How do I get this guy to clean it up? Stop stinking. Because he's good at what he does. Signed anonymous. Ish. Ooh, that's a tough one. If you've got a necessary worker who's really good but stinks and you don't want to piss him off. Well, I don't know how you do that at all. I guess you just kind of give them gifts and things. You got to talk to him or just eventually. Yeah, you tell him and a couple other guys. Man, you guys are working hard. I can smell you over here. I'm gonna hose you down and hit him with some air freshener. It's bad. Go home and shower up. Like, make jokes about, like, how everybody stinks, but it's unbearable. And always do it with him around. And then, you know, occasionally hose them off with some stuff. I can't smell you guys anymore. I don't know what's going on. You guys stink and then laugh. Haha. We're working hard though. Unless you just don't care. Otherwise, fire stinky people. Stinky people need to get fired. Well, in the younger generation, the ones that are doing that pheromone. Yeah. Okay. Fired, fired, fired. No showers. You're fired. What about bad dumpers at work? I'm borderline. Yeah, you're talking about Scott Taylor. Well, besides him, I mean, there's a. You know, I mean, I love Scott. He seems like a great guy. Have you noticed Scott? He's dropped like 125 pounds. Yeah, it's all in our toilet. Down. Yeah, because he causes. Because he's got dysentery. His body's given up. He can't stop all over the office. Losing weight like AIDS is like slow down dude. Easy up there. Have a sandwich there. What are you going for the Oscar? Calm down. He looks great. Then he showed pictures of himself. I didn't realize that Scott was job of the Hut a year ago he was huge, big blubbering, massive turd that was going to the bathroom. Gotta take another. They go in there for an hour and dump. Go get 10 minutes of work done, go back and dump some more. It's been 20 minutes since he's. It was like, you know people who smoke at work every couple minutes. I need to take another break. Just like American Pie. Yeah, yeah, it's his name. Break boy. This dude. This guy says, I finally realized KUPD is the NBA. And all the other cruddy stations in your companies dossier is the wnba. You keep the lights on for those socks? Yes, we do. And all other stations are socks. You're right. Every one of them. We got to sit and read about emails about what's going on in Cincinnati and wherever else we got. Times are tough. Look, we're doing fine. We're going to have to let several people go in Phoenix since it's, you know, that place will make a killing. They don't need all those people. So. Brady Will Firearm. I got it. Yeah, you can do it, John. President John, one of our black listeners says I gotta tell all black people in my community to wash your ass and carry some body spray. Y' all stink. All right, well that's nothing I know about from that community. I'm. I would never dare say such a thing. But John did. President John says Maryvale, take a bath. Crying out loud. And Showtime Shane has emailed in. He got his nickname when he did was like dune racing or something. Says I've been a listener for 20 years. Love the show. Dying laughing at Showtime Shane. I was given the nickname in the 90s from my racing days in the sand dunes and it stuck. But only my racing buddies call me that. You guys are the best. Well, if that's the case, stop signing your email. Showtime Shane. We're not your racing buddies. That's you begging to be called Showtime Shane. I find it hysterical. And he said I've used it in business for years. Everyone remembers Showtime. I run to them later and say, they say you're the Showtime guy. So why rock the boat, Showtime? Are you sure they're not kind of making funny. Hey, there's that guy. Hey, what's up Showtime? I always do my Friend John Sharpnick, through school, is a huge Eminem fan. People called him Shady and he liked that. And then he got a real job later. And one of the guys that he knew in high school came up, goes, hey, what's up, Shady? And John's like, don't call me that here. Don't call me that anymore at all. It's. Don't. That was not. No, you don't want that to stick forever. Feels like a crazy person. All right, stop it. I got three emails in a row. Please send me the information on the side sleeper pillow. I just did. It's called Verlo. You do the work. I want to send you information. What am I, a Jehovah's Witness? I'm not coming to your house and dropping off pamphlets. Need you to stop by. Yeah, please fire up some information and maybe a customer review. Maybe some sort of. I don't know if there's some testimonial. No, you do it. Just reply. So give me your address. No. Yeah, I'll send. You get a pillow. You get a pillow, Vero. That's where you go. Meet the little guy over there. A little. I give you a little mascot mattress. These pillows, I'm telling you, game changing super pillows. Last night, police had to shoot a dude who was whipping a machete around and threatened a kid. So they shot him. They got him out. And it just goes to show you that every time I talk about tactical black and I say we do machete training, I. You don't need that. Do people say that? I've seen more stories about like, my eyes are open to it since when I was out there a couple years ago. And Jay's like, all right, we're going to do knife defense. We're going to do gun360 defense on this and that. And then he said, and then stick. And I'm like, that makes sense. And he goes, machete. And I'm like, I mean, you came and buy me. What are we in the jungles? Nobody's going to do. And then like, ever since he said that and I've kind of done training against machete attacks, I've seen like probably 20 stories of dudes with machetes doing stuff. They took one down last night. I think if you even own a machete, machete and it's not under lock and key somewhere. Like if it's. If you're landscaper or you're like a guy who has to machete stuff, I'm not even sure when that's necessary. That should Be in, like, some sort of case all the time. If the machete ever comes out at the house, nothing good's gonna happen. Nobody carries a machete around and has good intentions to, like, put it down and leave, you know? No. So they got him. They killed him last night. I think they killed him. It says they shot him. No, he's in a hospital. Yeah. You joined. You're getting shot. You're just walking around normal areas with a machete in your hands. There's no reason not to take action against that dude. That's crazy. And where was that? Well, there you go. Yeah. Thank you. They said another part of training. They said it's in. They said it's a central Phoenix neighborhood. And I'm like, oh, geez, that's kind of my area. And then they said it was 31st Avenue and whatever else. I'm like, that's not central. That's west side Machete country. That's machete country. You never get that calls. Like today on Val Vista, Baseline doesn't happen. Today at the Biltmore, a man with a machete did great work and chopped up some of the bushes. It looks better than ever. That's the only news you'll ever get. Thank you, Jesus. I mean, Jesus. Then he put it right back in his box, locked it, and went to his house where he whipped it out for family and had to be shot to death. It's. Yeah, it's a thing. Also, I've been loving the idea of the new. Oh, yeah, by the way. Oh, Scott Haynes said that. They said it's 15 years from now. If there's still radio and email, somebody will be emailing and going, yeah, my mom used to do that. I think it was hilarious. I love the show. Signed Tylenol Talon. That's probably true. The nicknames in the future are all going to be Tylenol based a seat of minute fit. Andy. Yeah. Somebody who knew Scott Taylor. Our job of the hut, who's lost all the weight. I call him Manjiorno now because he doesn't admit to it, but he's lost too much weight too fast. So he's definitely poking his belly with us with some sort of. No, just it's my calories. I'm like, no, you're. You're on the Ozempic. And that's fine. This person knew him before we did. And he said, scott lost a bunch of weight, got married, and blew right the F up again. So maybe it's a trend. He looks great. But you know what's not lost any of its potency with the weight loss. His massive multiple per day in our building. Can't even walk by. I don't even use that bathroom. But I know when Scott's been in it because when I have to walk in the hallway, that, oof. It's. It's the dude from the game last night. It's brutal. And then there's the other thing. It still happens. And so as we're kind of on this, my trend today is to let people know, be a friend. Be a friend today. Be a real friend. If your friend stinks, say so. They're doing something silly, say so. If you've got someone in your life that says they're dating a member of the cast of General Hospital and they've yet to meet them, but they've got. Say something to them. Say, nope, you're not. And have you sent them money? That's the first question you ask. And say, well, they did need a little. No. The cast of General Hospital doesn't ask random strangers for cash. That's just not happening. How are you so blind to this? But another lady. It's happened again. And it's. The headline says she thought she was flirting with her favorite celebrity, but it turned out to be a heartbreaking deep fake scam that cost her everything. Her life savings is gone. And then she go for, I've never heard of him. This is actually a pretty good scam, if you ask me, because. But the odds are hitting with this one. Steve Burton, who's on General Hospital. And I didn't even think people still watched that show, but they do. And the woman's name is Abigail Ruvalak. Bacaba Ruval kaba Ruvalakabra. Whoa.

And I don't know what this dude looks like, Steve Burton, but, you know, they're blaming him in a way. It's like with deep fakes and AI and everything else, it's more important than ever to check in with, you know, lonely mom, lonely aunt, lonely grandma, and say, hey, how's that computer treating you? Good. I've met a lot of new people. Let's. Let's take a look at your new friend list. Yeah. One of the guys is on General Hospital. He's taking an interest in me. I send him pictures of Ms. Nooch. Mom, we're taking. Taking the computer away for five or six days. No, but then I won't get to talk to my friends on General Hospital. They've shut down production. Yeah, he needs a little money. Yeah, the guy on General Hospital, they told him, and he's like, I didn't know this was happening. Uh, he's had numerous encounters over the last few years where strangers approach him and say, I enjoy your emails. Or I love that we chat. And he's like, oh, I'm not doing that. So he has to break hearts. He said, I get a thousand messages a day, and a few hundred of them are people who think we're chatting on other apps. I don't have those apps. My agent, my manager, my publicist, nobody will be reaching out to you. I tell them he said in a Facebook warning to his fans, please be careful. You're not speaking to me. And what he's saying essentially, is, you're a peon and I'm on tv. We've never met, and I don't have to troll the Internet for ass. I'm a soap opera star on General Hospital. I go outside and I get. By the way, also, I'm a soap opera star on General Hospital. I love sucking. That's what I do. I'm a gay. I'm on. I'm on a soap opera. I'm not interested in a woman. So he says, please don't do this anymore. In 2023, 65,000 people reported being a victim of a romance scam. How much do you think those 65,000 people lost? This is the estimate. How much? 65,000 people scammed by romance scams. And that can be catfishing. That can be, you know, this kind of thing. One of those deals like, flag lady sent 10 grand to that guy in a book that she'd gotten. How much money do you think they've estimated has gone out the door with that amount of people being scammed by the Internet? Love. Take a shot. Don't look it up. Don't be like, well, the listeners we hate. Brady just picked up his phone. He was going to. Six and a half million. He was going to use his phone. Okay, six and a half million. What's your guess? Now? It was as you. I pull out the calculator. Yeah. 65,000 people getting scammed on Internet romance scams where they're sending money or doing some sort of weird thing. 65,000 of them hit. What do you think the total amount of money that has been. That have been lost? Brady says 6 million. 65,000. You're looking at 10, 12,000 a person. I go, I'm gonna up them. I'm gonna. 10, you know, 10 million. $1.14 billion. Talk to your parents today. So basically, toss your parents. Sell now. Taught. Yeah. You got to go to the kids, and you got to go to the parents. If they've ever asked you how email works, they're not allowed to use it. That's basically what I don't know how to get it right. I have these people that are trying to get a hold of me, and how in the world did they get a hold of Steve Burton from General Hospital in the first place to where this dude had to reach out to her? Like, they're not registering that Steve Burton just randomly found you in Tallahassee and said, hey, I like the cut of your jib. You lonely? Yes, I'm very lonely. Great. I'm Steve Burton from General Hospital. Familiar? Yes. Well, I love you, and I'm going to marry you. And $1.14 billion have gone out the door, almost getting basically 20 grand a person. Well, he's. It's not all one guy. I know. But I'm saying if you average over 65,000, $1.14 billion, and this lady lost it all, she said, you may not be yearning for it, but I'd be hard pressed to point to a person that wouldn't want to be adored by a celebrity. You'd got to have some questions in your life. You got to sit back and go, all right, if you've not touched the flesh of another human, they can't have your money. That is a rule that everybody needs to teach. Mom. If you meet someone online and they need money, you meet them in person with me before any money gets exchanged. You are not mailing money to a stranger ever. And that's. I prided my. Myself and my brand being authentic, and the people know that. So they take the fact that I'm known and trusted as an authentic person, and. And he did. Steve Harvey is one of those people that is getting like. People believe. Steve Harvey has reached out to them and said, I like you and I need a couple bucks. And they're doing it. The lady that had the Brad Pitt one, remember her A couple years ago, she. She thought she was in a relationship with Brad Pitt. Online. She released the texts between her and Brad. She now knows it's a scam. Have you seen the pictures that were sent? It's like South Park. The. The Brad Pitt photos are essentially just his head cut off on this. It's not even like, oh, my gosh, terrible work. I mean, it is just absolutely. Toss the cell. Yeah. And so. And look how handsome he is. But he's in a hospital bed with makeup on. And. And she's like, yeah. I don't know why, but, I mean, I was just so taken aback by the fact that Brad Pitt was interested in me. He wasn't. Stop saying that. Toss, Mom. Sell. If you've got a lonesome friend who's like, you know, and you know, she's telling someone. Brad Pitt and I have been talking online. Uh. Oh, get out the longarm jacket. No, I think it's real. I think we're. He's in the hospital. Is he? Because I just saw him on an awards show. He has a double. Oh, my God. She's gone. Yeah, it's not good. So if you've got anybody in your life that you may think is about to send a check to, you know, Benito del Toro, I'm telling you right now, you are not talking to Benicio del Toro at all. You're better off sending it to the African king. Yeah, well, yeah, no, it's. It's. That's more realistic. There's a better chance that the Nigerian prince is real than it is that you're talking to anyone on General Hospital who's like, I need a couple bucks. Or the tractor supply company. No, that's real. I still have the receipts for that. $19 just to enter. I didn't pay for anything. I just. 19? No, no. If they asked for more, I'd be like, hey, now I've got the generators on the way. If you get dua lipa gmail.com needing money, I'm just going to play along with that. I know that's not really a long shot. I can. My imagination would be like, this is all I know. It's. First things first. You would come to me and go, you know that's not really her, right? And I'm like, come on. Yeah, of course I do. But I'm still going to go ahead with it, because when I close my eyes real hard, I know they're not talking about it, but she is in the hospital, right? Yeah. No, no, it's. And I would be like, guys, please, I'm not an idiot, but I am going to send money to this girl just to keep this alive. I think it's fantastic. And with, you know, AI, stuff like that, it's gonna get worse and worse. It's not gonna get better. So it is. It's time to toss toss granny's computer. I would, I would have said toss Granny sell, but some people think it sounds like salad too much and that I don't want people to crash their cars. It's disgusting. But yeah, so it's one. I saw that number. I could not believe. $1.14 billion in romance scams for just those 65,000 people that have been hit with it. And that is, you know, that's. They never meet them. And. And with all the news that's out there saying be careful of it or why there's a whole television show. There was a word invented. Catfishing is a thing that wasn't a thing 15 years ago, but now everybody knows it. It's not even. I think I saw MTV canceled. Oh, yeah. I mean, because you can't do it just this year because the catfishers aren't gonna. Nobody's gonna agree to be on that show ever again. It's. Yeah. And plus, because out of. They can't keep up with the demand of tough. The tough sheds that in are few and far between at this point. If you have not met the person. I talked to a girl here whose son has a long distance Internet girlfriend. They met gaming. And I'm like, oh, geez. And she goes, I know. I'm like, he's not sending her money. And she goes, no, we've, we've tried to keep an eye on it like, but it through Roblox and stuff like that, you can start sending cash to people and they can do it. And I don't understand why anybody would want that. Man. Ty Teo's on TV and remember him 18 years ago when he had the fake girlfriend that he was in love with and never met her and he was at Notre Dame and she was at USC and he never met her and then she fake died then. I don't think he ever did he send her cash. I don't think he sent her all sorts of stuff. But then she fake died. They had a memorial at the game for Manti's girlfriend that died. And then a few weeks later she pops back up and says, I didn't die. I had to die. I'm like, oh, okay. And he was like, the documentary was Hilarious. And the whole time you kind of feel sorry for Manti, but at the same time you're like, no, you did this to yourself, dumbass. Don't do it. I don't understand you people anymore. If you haven't met someone at all, don't give them money. Individuals, people that promise you prizes and cash that's always good, throw money at that every time. What if it's real? And then there's the other thing. I saw in the news yesterday and I kind of felt bad. This dude was crying on tv and I always either find it, most of the time I find it absolutely hysterical. If it's not death related, like a dog or a parent or a, you know, like somebody you love or something like that. If somebody's crying on tv. But if a man's crying on TV over something, just generally, you know, the Jimmy Kimmel thing, that's going to get a couple of chances. I'm going to laugh at it. I'm going to stop what I'm doing. I'm going to watch TV for a little. There's this dude and he was in a. He was in a coffee trailer, one of those mobile. It's, you know those trucks that go around and give people food against the government's wishes. And this is another one. So he's parking in this hospital up here at Mayo. And he seemed like a nice person and everything else, but the hospital asked him not to show up anymore, I guess because his company is called Graveyard Shift Coffee and his logo is a doctor with a stethoscope around his neck. But the doctor is clearly a skeleton and he's just dead as can be. And the hospital's like, eh, not real sure we want people reminded of graveyards and death while they're wandering through the parking lot. And they say the offensive logo, they gotta go. The logo's making people uncomfortable. And the guy's like, we just wanted to silk off. Can you sell it somewhere other than the hospital? I know I'm if I'm going to the hospital. You just went through your thing. The last thing you want to see as you're walking in is death, right? The image of death. Yeah, yeah. I mean I'm not that superstitious. But the last like that's kind of aggressive. Yeah, I don't really want to see, you know, a skeleton on the side of a thing. But they're like, oh, what do we do? So we called the news. And Graveyard Shift Coffee serves drinks to healthcare workers at various hospitals that work the overnight shift. And those people are horribly dark humored people most of the time. The EMTs and the hospital employees at the overnight shift. Oh, I know. They're. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, they are. They've seen it all. They have a dark sense of humor, so they're not mad. But the people going in who just got diagnosed with something or not feeling great or like, they don't want to walk by a trailer that has death on the side. So the guy's like, it was made for people with shifts, third shifters. It's the fuel that saves lives. We just thought it would be great to do this for a couple years. Mayo and Mayo Clinic said that was a big spot they went. But they said, effective immediately, they've canceled all of our bookings. We're not allowed their one call. They said our name and our logo had offended people. And they're like, what was offensive? Well, I can tell you right now, people wandering in for treatment of any sort. Leukemia, cancer, aids, anything else. The last thing I want to see when they go into a hospital is a skeleton. That's it. First time I walked into the MD Anderson, I thought I was kind of cool. The truck was out there. Prostrate, prostrate, check. You'll get it. I almost had. Yeah, you should have just quit. You should have. No, not really. And it doesn't make sense anyway, because it's just a prostate check and some coffee. Hey, that's a good idea. That sounds nice. I'll be honest with you. I get fingered and a cup of joe. That's okay. Holmberg's morning sickness. But that doesn't signify. Oh, the doom and gloom of, you know, the hammer, the sickle, and the. The hood. You don't want that. You want a doctor that's a skeleton and the word graveyard just emblazoned across the side of the trailer. It's not good. Where's the common Sense? But Channel 3 went out there and is like, we talked to the Mayo Clinic. Come on. What are we talking about here? We can't have that stuff. You don't want, you know, a guy with a shovel and a tombstone as the logo for the sandwich company in the morning. You just don't do it. Undertaker sandwiches. No, we're not doing that at the house. Too many people are on edge. We don't need them worried. And the guy said. The guy, the newscaster. She asked the guy at the hospital. She goes, what exactly offended you? And the guy was basically me. He goes, oh, I don't know. The skeleton. The word Graveyard. Really? Yeah, that pretty much. Pretty much did it. It's been there for three and a half years though. Yeah. And then some people started talking like maybe it's not the best idea. We moved him. Can't he sell his coffee somewhere else? Like go over to the fire department, just drive around. You're mobile. Go to the fire department, honk, park outside for seconds. Like some guy would sell his coffee outside. Okay, you go get your coffee there. You have to get a permit to sit in somebody's. Go buy a brick and mortar and stop this, stop this nonsense. Grim Reaper coffee or whatever their new name. You're not gonna make it coffee. I mean, what is it like, you know, Hospice. Yeah, Expiration coffee. Hospice coffee. That's it. Where just somebody with a tube in their neck getting coffee poured into a funnel. You might have a great, you might have a great product, but you have to live with the idea that the general public, especially where you're parking, said, nope, we don't want this anymore. Graveyard shift coffee. It's clever enough, but for third shifters you can find, you know, go over to, there's plenty of places you worked overnights. Go right over here by this job site that those guys are walking in at 3 in the morning. Oh man, these dudes are 24 hours a day. This construction thing that will never end next to us. I think they're building a portal to hell because it's non stop spend. Six years they've been digging this place up and they walk by all the time, all night and all day. Yeah, put your graveyard coffee there. They'll take it and evidently they need it. These dudes are zombies. They don't even look around. They'll let cars run into them. They don't care. They're video game characters, like master builders from lego. But I watched that. But the only reason I watched because the dude started to cry. It's like I just tried so hard to be. Guy said, that's funny. The owner of the business was. He was inside his. He was inside his graveyard trailer and he's poking his head out the window. I was giggling the whole time. Like, look at him. The man's crying. It's funny dudes crying over stuff. Like Jimmy Kimmel. The other night was trying to be heartfelt. I mean he was. Again, I go back to this exact feeling I had yesterday, which was nobody looked good in this thing. And Jimmy didn't take any ownership of this whole deal and said he didn't mean it when he should have just said, nah. Well, I mean, it would have been more respectful to say, I'm saving my own ass here. So I'm gonna say whatever they told me. There was nothing authentic about it. But he started to cry and I started to laugh. I found it. I find it hysterical getting choked up over something silly. I can't give coffee to these people. And he's like, he's looking at it like, what do I do? Change the name of your company. If you've got a built in fan base and you're making enough money, all you have to do is tell everybody we're not allowed here with Graveyard. He said, I'll cover it up. Like, okay, well just change it. Change it to, you're gonna make it, Joe. Just call your company, something positive and have the people at the hospital go, that's better. Overnight prognosis, Delicious. How about that? But don't you. I mean, if you've been called. My coffee wakes the dead. You don't want to bring it up at the hospital? Hospital isn't. Most people aren't happy when they're in the hospital. It's not like a great place to roll in. Terminal coffee. Showtime. Shane's Coffee Shop. That's it. Showtime, Shane. Nobody's upset at that. It's showtime. It's dumb. But crying, crying, people on TV over like themselves, I find that to be almost always funny. And then I'm always rooting for one of those. Like, if we can get a guy who loses. I just want to give these people coffee. Look at this guy. He didn't have a father at the house. That's a fact. Seemed like a nice guy, though. But stop crying on tv. That's embarrassing. Hey, there's the truck. It's out front. Is it outside? We didn't permit for that. Get your ass out of here. I don't want your make a fire your death trap. Yeah, Brady, you get rid of him. You go tell him you can't be here. Gonna have to ask you to get the off the premises. Brady's gonna fire him. Yeah, Brady's gonna get rid of him. That's it. Keep it moving there, Graveyard Joe. Let's go. Mother. I told Roger Rabbit to take a hike. He did. Years and years ago. He told the guy who played Roger Rabbit not that he couldn't come in. Charles Fleischmann. Well, we were. We told him we didn't want him as a guest because it was like, Roger Rabbit's doing some stand up things. I thought they just came in. They thought they were scheduled here. We Told them, no. No, that was Paul Rodriguez. Oh, he just showed up one day. But then we said no, and the publicist still drug him over to the thing. And then the front desk girl came in and said, roger Rabbit's in the lobby. And I said, I told this lady three times. We weren't taken. We're not taking him as a guest. We can't. And Brady had to go out there and say. Because at the time, this is when we were first on, and Brady and I were the only ones in the room, and Brady was sort of the producer, but that never really was a thing. And so I said, well, that's what you do. You got to go tell them. You got to go tell the guests. This is. This is all right. And then Brady comes back with stormy face, like, didn't go well. Turned the mic sound. And so we just had to tell Roger Rabbit to leave Brady. How'd that go? Brady's face is just bright red and pursed up. And he goes, well, like, what was he like? He was a dick. And I'm like, all right. He threw the you know who I am at Brady. Roger Rabbit. Roger Rabbit. Don't you know who I am? Yeah. And I said, he can come on the air if he begs, and I want it like this. That's what I needed to hear. But, yeah, so we've had those moments where Brady, that one time, it's like, don't yell at me. It's your guys. We said we couldn't take him. Yeah, we can't get you in. We. We told you that. Do you know who I am? I played Roger Rabbit. You're gonna want me on the air. Sorry there, Roger. Time to go. Don't make me beg. I don't care. Please, Brady, let me in and do the show. Okay. That would have happened later when Brady would have let. Come on. He's funny. We could use the laugh. Get him out of here. Get him out of here. Use a laugh. Anyway. Graveyard, coffee and Charles Fleischman. We have Brady doing all the work. What do you got on the big board of musical Treats there? Wake up. So I'm brought to you by Action Ride Shop and keep an eye on the socials, because they're kind of giving you weekly updates on what they got going on there as far as, like, what kind of deals are going on. They got tons of markdowns going on right now waiting for that new inventory to come in. So now's the time to jump up on that new bike. If you've been thinking about it at both locations, actually. The brand new one over there on Power Road, McDowell right off the Hoss Trailhead. And of course the OG right there. Gilbert Road and Sonnet Action ride Shop's gonna get you guys on the trails and rolling. Got an email about a guy says it's amazing. Broad's always talking about who's supposed to be the smarter of the two. Like men or women? Smartest ones of the humans are women. Throw some celebrity D in their face online and become deer in headlights losers. Signed schmooney dance. I watch. You know what I'm tired of too, and I'm just done with it. Like these. These moments where it's that whole thing we always talk about with Gotta check with the warden. Happy wife, happy life. And there's no saying for a man, no women ever try to make men happy. Happy hubby. They don't say, they don't do it. A blowjob a day keeps the smile on his face. That's not a phrase they ever use. They're disgusted by us and they say so, but it should be. I'm watching the news yesterday and there's a. She's in great shape. Both these people are in great shape. And they called that three on your side thing. And they said they had to throw this in the story. They had a billing discrepancy at a. At a gym. And they're. And they start the story that I don't know their names. Tanya and Rod met on the basketball court and who won the game is still up for debate. And I'm looking at her and she's like a 5 foot 8 inch white woman. Then this hulking black man comes out and he's playing me, playing defense. And I'm like, there was never a debate who won that game. It's still up. I think he says he let me win. I'm like, have you seen your boyfriend? He did let. If you scored on him. He allowed it. He was. And then they show him dunk once. And I'm like, come on. Why do we play this game with women where they. And they eat it up? I said it. I'm like, there was. I said I'm talking to the TV like I'm a hunter. I'm like, there's no debating who won the first game. That's stupid. Why do we do this? And making us. They're joking. I'm like, well, it's enough. That joke is tired and stupid about how dopey man, she got the best of him. Didn't ever Happen. You're like the guy watching the westerns. They don't have that guy. That's not a thing. Although westerns are at least fictional. These are two real people with a real thing on a. On a build discrepancy news story. And we had to throw in the idea of, like, she might be able to take him in a game of hoops. And they just show. And of course, they show them playing basketball as B roll. And she takes a shot and he's like, all right, and lets it go. And she misses everything. And then he goes up and just one arm tomahawks at Dr. Jaista. Still up for debate. Who won their first meeting? Come get the out of here. That guy won 10 nothing. We gotta. We gotta stop. You're caught up in your heavy hooping right now. No, I'm just sick and tired of this whole, like, they're even. We're equal. No, we're not. When it comes to that stuff, you do a whole bunch of stuff better than us. And if we ever said it's up for debate, who made the better cake? Come on. She did. It's up for debate. Who wrecked the car into the mailbox? We know who did it. The giant, hulking black guy didn't lose to the frail white woman in a game of basketball. Especially if that was their first date. Little stereotypical on his part to drag him and go play some ball. Like that's. Maybe take her to a dinner or something. But he took her to a basketball court, and that's where they met. And they played one on one. And so it was DeAndre maybe a little bit softer yet, but even DeAndre could manage his way around a white woman. And I say that at basketball and in life. Please. And then she's. He says he let me win. Like, just stop this part of the story. Let's get to the rat killing. Why did you get double charged by the. By the gym? Did she need the gym? No, she looked great. Oh, okay. They both did that. Which would Made me. Made me realize, oh, she's in great shape now. If she showed Brady and this lady. It's up for debate. Who won there for. I'd still be like, brady probably won that. But she's in great shape. She might have. You know, it might have been close. Might have been close. Okay. I mean, if it's Stephen Hawking and her, they met on the basketball court, like, that's mean. And it's up for debate. Who won? He says he let me. I let the bitch have a Few points before I poured it on. Sure, she can beat Stephen Hawking. She's not beating this dude. I mean, he was, he looked like, you know, Derrick Henry and then just effortlessly dunks it. I'm like, come on, we've got to stop this silliness where we, we don't call out what's real. Like she actually kind of went on gone. He says, like, no, you know, you got your ass handed to you. It's no reason to put it in the news story. It's in that it just rise in a little bit of that Charlie Sheen documentary where he and his dad beat Michael Jordan. Right? Well, kind of. And sort of a bad battle of the network stars. And he did it tongue in cheek. He knows if he and Michael went one on one, Come on. And it was a metaphor if you watch the documentary for him saying, we felt great about ourselves. Now granted, it was a silly fun thing. But then my life fell apart. And I watched Michael Jordan hit a game winning championship shot in his sixth championship. Because from that day to the day, I watched him hit against the Utah Jazz, I realized he kept going and I, I went crazy. But at one point they were equal celebrity. Holmberg's morning sickness and Charlie blew it. That was the whole metaphor of that. He never walked around going, I beat Michael Jordan once. He was like, I had a great day where Michael Jordan and I were equals in the eyes of people. They were there to see them, the Sheens, as much as they were to see Michael. And then a few years later, there's Michael getting a six championship ring and Charlie's got eights. I mean, somebody took a better route. But no news, guys. It's debatable whether Mr. Sheen actually got the best of Mr. Jordan. No, we all know what happened there. Don't do that. Fair and square, man. I hate that wink and a nod to like, I'm just saying this so you don't turn into a C word. If this true story would have like, the real story would have been like they met on the basketball court where clearly the black guy just hammered her. 11 0. I mean they, they played probably games where you play with a girl and you give them 10. I used to do that with Megan all the time. We played basketball years ago. We'd play on dunk courts and I'd play, I'd have to play full court. She didn't. So I would have to get the ball and run it all the way to the other end. All she had to do was hang around her side and I Was only allowed one shot on the other end. If I missed it automatically she got and I started her 10 to 1. That was. Or 10 to nothing. That was it. All she had to do was score one point and win. And I've never seen celebrating like I've seen the one time she just threw it in the air and it went in and it was like 11 to 9. I'm like, you got me. I won. Take that. I'm like, are you kidding? You're proud of this? This is embarrass. I gotta run all the way down there and if I miss, I gotta wait for you to come get it before I can start running back. And this is okay. I beat him two out of three. Like pool, basketball was always a rule that I had to take my last shot. Diving in off the diving board again. Started 10 to 1, 10 to nothing. And then, and then she could just take that. If I missed it, dunk it right there. I got y' all three games. Like, I have a lot more work to do. It's unclear whether or not the hulking African American destroyed the young white blonde basketball. No, it's not. You could have shown me pictures of just their heads. Who wins a basketball game? No one picks her. But there's Gary Harper. Isn't it cute to make them think they're even. Did they not pay their membership or. No, they paid it and they got double charged. And the end of the story was actually. Well, now there's a news story right there. They actually solve some problems. Why we had to sav her ego for a few seconds. Why did you assume they didn't pay their bill? Yeah, that was kind of. Come on, what's going on here? Can't help it. Well, he's too busy putting salve on the wounds from that girl kicking his ass on the court. Yeah, he wouldn't. He wouldn't look. And I wouldn't pay any bills either. If a white woman beat me at basketball, I'd be on the court all the time. I wouldn't go to work anymore. I wouldn't pay a bill until I'm like, okay, I'm ready. I need this rematch for all mankind. You know, ladies have done that since the Billie Jean King Bobby Riggs game where a 57 year old drunk barely lost to the one of the best tennis players in female history. In her prime. By the way, keep away. A month earlier he beat the best female tennis player in the world. Handily. Just didn't get the attention. Margaret Court and Billy. What's his name Bobby Riggs play. And he kicked her ass like six two, six one. He's 58, 59 years old and an absolute drunk. And they. They called it the battle of the sexes. And Billie Jean beat him. And it was like. It's a monumental achievement in female sports. You're like, it is. Look at some of the other bets that he took. Oh, and stuff that he did was he was going broke. He needed 50 grand a pop. And he was willing to play with chairs on the court. Yes, he would play and put chairs on the court. And women like, we'll show you who's even. Like, stop. They could hit the chair and a point would be over. It was still beats him well into his 50s. They're at the prime of their. This is the biggest thing that Billie Jean King still raves about it. Such a huge moment for women's sports. What. This is why they admire Amelia Earhart so much. They won't admit how it ended. They're delusional. And you know. And the worst part was the black guy who clearly won the basketball game wasn't interviewed going, ah, she's full of. Killed her out there. They interviewed her. You know, he says he let me win, but. Shut up, knobs. Anyway, sorry. Well, here I go on tangent. Yeah. I go on a problem with one of our members. Yeah. She thinks she beat me a basketball. Anyway, I was paying some bills, noticed we got double charged. That's not what this is about. This is about me beating you on the court. Nobody believes it. Back down about that didn't happen. I was trying to you. I let you have a few. Is that all? The. The only reason you let me win. That's the only reason I like you. You think your conversations are good. No. Get in the hellcat. Yeah. If I'd have done. Yeah, get in the hellcat and shut your mouth. Keep it up. We ain't going on a Carnival cruise. That's all I'm gonna say. You want to go out right now? Yeah. Cancel the Carnival cruise. We. You ain't seeing Alaska. Change the damn battery and smoke alarm. Let's go on the court right now. And I won't let you win. And let's show you what will happen. Then go to the news and say what went on. Don't make me look like a jackass. I thought we were. I did it so's I could you and it worked. It's all I am to you. That's right. Now we're getting somewhere. It would have been great had she done that part of the story. And then Gary Harper talked to him and she's like, oh, he says he'd let me win. And then just cut to him and go, you know, I did it because I could try to her. And it worked. It was great. I think we. That day. Anyway, I getting double charged over here at the eos, Ed. Just a billing discrepancy. We covered it up. It was great. They were good to us. And who helped you? Oh, you did. Gary Harper. That's right. And who's gonna. Your girlfriend now? That's you, Gary Harper. You're the best. What's in your fridge? I gotta ravage through your kitchen. I'm famished. Best part of those three on your sides is when Gary Harper makes them talk about Gary Harper. At the end, we called the gym and we fixed this transgression. Then we went back to their house, and then he goes and bangs on their door again. How you doing? Gary Harper, Channel 3. I'm back. Did you fix it? You're goddamn right I fixed it. Let's talk about that now. You had problems with your bills before. Before I called you Gary Harper. That's right. And now that you know me, bills are straight and you have who to thank. Gary Harper, Channel 3. You're the best mother. That's right. Now Gary Harper wants a ham sandwich. Who's gonna make me that? The woman. Of course. And then Gary Harper beat that lady in basketball, like, 14 to 2. Who won? Who won the game just now? And Gary's gotta be single because he would do that to his wife. Who paid for dinner tonight? You did, Gary. That's right. God damn it. Who probably wasn't even gonna eat unless it was four. Gary Harper and his awesome generosity. That's right, lady. Gary Harper's on your side. At restaurants in the waiting area. Table for Gary Harper. Who is it? The best table in the house, and it's for Gary Harper. We talked to the hostess and we got a table. You wouldn't be eating tonight if it wasn't for Carrie Harper. And here's the bill. I hope you had a nice time. I got this. Read the name on the credit card to the lady with me. Gary Harper. That's right. And without me paying, what would happen? She would go to jail for stealing food. But she's not going to jail because Gary Harper fixed it, paid for everything. Okay. Can I go run your bill now? Gary Harper says yes. Great. The great Gary Harper. He's done that with old people. They stand there. It's like you saved me money. How much? $2,300 from a crooked construction company. And before that, what was happening? They were taking advantage of me. And then what happened? Gary Harper came and told them to not do that. And they stopped doing it because they're afraid of Gary Harper. He's horrifying. That's right. The ones that don't say it don't get the segment, you know? Yeah. We won't air this unless you do my thing. At the end when I come smashing on your door. After I'm back, open the door and praise me. What happened, Gary? I fixed it. Oh, good. Who fixed it? I think you. Just you. What's my name? Say it. Gary Harper. You're the best, Gary. That's right. Let's go in your kitchen. I'm famished. I'm starving to death. Getting bigger by the show. Gary Harper got another free meal because he fixed some more losers problems. Because I'm Gary Harper. I'm three on your side. He's so proud of himself. Anyway, sorry. What songs do you have up there? White Zombie, Sleep, Token, Power Man, 5000 Tool, Metallica, Judas Priest, Hell yeah. Typo Negative, Summer Breeze for the smelly guy at the game. Cinderella, Nobody's fool for the Parents Getting Grifted, Jane's Addiction, Blue Oyster Cult, Don't Fear the Reaper for the Coffee Company. And there was a bunch of them Skynyrd's. That smell for your guy. He's still out there. Somebody thinks that the smell I smelled at the game last night was somebody in the seat the night before. Wrecked it and it stuck to me. But I would have noticed. I got in the car the first thing I did. I'm smelling myself. Like, no, it is not me. I don't know, Brett. What do you want to go with? How about I don't want to do Summer Breeze. That takes too long. Nobody's Fooled by Cinderella is not bad. Little post concert psyching rock Tom Keefer. Nah, I don't want to do that one. I just. Running through my head. It sounds horrible. After thinking about it. Yeah. I thought about the chorus. The chorus hit my head and that was the end of it. I don't want to do Skynyrd either. What about Demon Hunter? I don't know that song. I don't either. Gonna pull it up? Nah. Oh, you know what? We could do Judas Priest because Rob and his boyfriend got married. Oh, they did? Yeah. You want Turbo or Painkiller? Painkiller's fine. Okay. Because they're gonna need some after the honeymoon, all right? You know what I'm talking about. We're gonna be getting it all. Yeah. We met him when they came in the studio, and his boyfriend was sitting on the couch the whole time. They got married. The lead singer of Judas Priest is married to that? He called me and asked for something. Did he wanted that C ring back that he gave you? Gently used. We'll do some Turbo Lover. I have it right in front of me. Judas Priest now betrothed.

This episode of "Holmberg’s Morning Sickness" balances classic crude humor, listener emails, and stories plucked from the news and local happenings. Topics range from workplace hygiene and oddball workplace etiquette to bizarre catfishing scams, problematic logos, and battles over gym memberships. John Holmberg and the crew riff on everything—dispensing questionable advice and unfiltered commentary with a mix of storytelling, banter, and listener interaction.

Segment: [1:11:00 – 1:17:30]
As always, Holmberg and the crew deliver riff-heavy, irreverent, and brutally honest takes. The humor is edgy, the commentary blurs the line between social observation and mockery, and the stories are all delivered with signature HMS exaggeration and banter. Nothing is off-limits—whether it’s stinky colleagues, easily scammed romance hopefuls, or the local news cliches.
You’ll come out laughing, slightly wiser to the risks of internet scams, and thankful that (hopefully) nobody’s selling “Graveyard Coffee” outside your next hospital visit. Main takeaway: Call out the obvious, ask tough questions, and keep your cash (and your coffee logos) safe.
