Holmberg
Still streaming Homberg's morning sickness online@98kupd.com thank you, Miles to Nowhere. That is Katie and the Hobbs. Yesterday morning I was up watching football at this time.
Doug
That's the only thing I don't like about them international games. Other than that I don't care.
Holmberg
I don't care where it is. It's not here. So I have to watch it on TV no matter what. But make it reasonable. Those poor people in Hawaii had to start that game at 3:30. Oh, Alaska, Hawaii. They get killed by these things, but that's a market they don't care about either. But still, my God, man, that's more proof that the NFL doesn't care about its fans. They know we're going to wake up at six in the morning if we're, you know, we're nuts. I'll do it. And the East coast, it's 9am they don't. That's not that bad. Get out here. It's insane. That's bananas, man. But yeah, people are all over me about the tattoo with the Mercury and starting to get designs our own weekend. Or Johnny Fella said he's got a good tattoo artist that's one of the best in the city. He's willing to come down into the bill. I'm like, we don't have to worry about that. This team's not going to win a championship. Careful, careful. Come on, Brett. There's no. They're girls now.
Doug
The only thing somebody has to win.
Holmberg
I know, that's what I'm saying, you.
Doug
Know, even though they're girls.
Holmberg
Good point. The only thing keeping me nervous is that this team of girls has to play another team of girls. So God knows what's going to happen. You can't predict this. No. No Vegas gambler has ever been this wrong. They had the Minnesota links as a -400 to win it all. And they get beat by a team that was like a plus 16 or is it. It was Buster Douglas style up and nobody said, my God, what an upset. Nobody knows.
Doug
Can they tie like the packers and the Cowboys last night or what?
John
World championship tie.
Doug
Everybody wins.
Holmberg
That would be great. I would like to see that. And yes, in fact, we didn't know. But the only person of relevance in the WNBA outside of Caitlin Clark, who we know is not playing is Sophie Cunningham. And as Mike Tomlin would say, Sophie got a knee so she's not going to play anymore. So the Fever doing it without their superstars. Imagine that. You don't even need the best player in the league to win a championship because it's girls. Anything can happen if they start sinking periods, bad days. I mean, that's what happened to the links. I don't know if. And I would love to hear that in the post game. You know, no excuses out there. We got beat. Better team Phoenix Mercury. But I do have to say that since we synced periods, every third week's been a tough one for this team. And we've really. We struggled and just so happened to hit us right here in the conference finals that we're all. We're all ragging out questions. The whole team on their period. Yeah. There's one that we're not sure why she doesn't have periods, but nobody's asking.
John
It's a forfeit. The team needed a personal day.
Holmberg
Everybody's on the red ir. Can we just get. We just have a me day. The whole team. Yeah. It's the playoffs, you guys. This is toxic. It's a toxic work environment. So I don't know what's going on, but boy, the city's a buzz, isn't it? With mercury fever. Catch it. I'll never stop laughing at it. They were in the championship and nobody knew it. If you had a championship in the forest and it fell and no one was there, would it still count? I do have to say I find their championship parades hilarious. So part of me kind of wishes if I just get a tattoo on my chest, the Phoenix mercury championship in 2025. If there's a parade downtown of teams of tens of people, I go to that. And again, name one.
John
Championship.
Holmberg
No player.
John
Oh.
Holmberg
On a team that's in the championship. Remember when the Suns went to the championship in 2021 and suddenly the ratings went from like nothing to everybody loved Chris Paul, Devin Booker, deandre Ayton, the twins. You had campaign who looks like rat Boy and people liked him. And you knew the coaches names. You knew everybody on the team said one name one because you're a misogynist. No, nobody cares. Different. You might be right about the thing you accused me of, but also this product stinks. I like what they're trying to do, which is get that short court three on three league going for the ladies. Have you seen that? That's going to be fun. Because the one thing that they're doing in the WNBA that's bad is trying to play on a men's court. With men's rims, they already shrunk the ball and scooted the three point lineup. Why are they digging their heels in on the size of the rim? Their game gets better if they lower the rim. Now we play where the men play. I'm like, you've already. You're already not doing that shrink. Bring it down to nine feet.
John
Yeah, that would be.
Holmberg
Why are they so indignant on a ten foot rim? And also your game looks really slow because we see men running on that same court just blisteringly fast. And then we see you trying to lug up and down that thing. It looks like you got, you know, weights on your shoulders. Shrink the court, make it, cut a couple of girls off the field there. You get a, you know, three on three. And they got this new league coming up. I will watch that. That's going to be fun.
John
You never hear that was a cool lay.
Holmberg
You never hear that.
John
No matter how much you do.
Holmberg
You've never once heard, yes, with a 360 degree layup. Never happens. There's no reason to pirouette on your way to a layup. But you get a dunk in there and suddenly it's like, all right, these, you know, women's tennis knows, like, it's not the size of the court that's screwing them up. It's the length of the matches. You can't go four hours on lady tennis. They do three.
John
Yeah.
Doug
John, what if you either get the mercury tattoo or have to watch the championship game courtside?
Holmberg
I. I have an option courtside. Oh, yeah. Well, you guys would go to the game just. Are you out of here?
Doug
Just for the comedy.
Holmberg
I would be in the RAHA room the whole time, not watching.
Doug
Is that open during.
Holmberg
They have to play pretend. Yeah, they didn't do it the whole season. In the playoffs, they're like, I got a newsletter. I said, all right, we'll open up for a couple of these. We're gonna lose our ass on this. I was there one night with my buddy Anthony. We didn't know there was a Mercury game going on. And everybody, Anthony's just like me. And we're walking down the entrance to the robber room. I forget what. We went there for dinner, I think. I don't remember. But there was a game and we realized that as we're walking up and the people out for the guys out front that parked the car, like, you guys here for the game? And we're just like, no, what game? And then we go up to the people who greet you at the Door. Hey. Oh, my gosh. You guys are here for a Mercury game? No. Are you? And we laughed the whole way down the hallway as we walked in. Oh, you guys got tickets to the game? No, we're here to drink and have some dinner and get out of here and go do something good. And during that game, there was nobody there in the RAHA room. I'm like, so they're like, maybe we shouldn't. They'll get a few people for a championship as they'll play pretend there's interest, but there's none.
John
The championship game yesterday?
Holmberg
Yeah.
John
I couldn't believe how many. I mean, so when I went up and I saw that my neighbor is.
Holmberg
Watching it at his house.
John
Yeah.
Holmberg
Who?
John
Because his dad was at.
Holmberg
Oh, his dad was to pretend to like it because it was a road game within.
John
He says that my dad goes to all the games. He does. Oh, there he is.
Holmberg
Yeah, he was at the game on tv.
John
I mean, because, you know, he's courtside.
Holmberg
Not hard to find, was it? Early in the game?
John
It was.
Holmberg
Oh, no, he had to go. Oh, he had to go because he took his daughter. Yes. Okay. So this was his part of the ruse was occasionally go and like, wave at that when he's at the game.
John
You know, because he's courtside and above.
Holmberg
Him and wait a minute, they're empty seats. Oh, yeah. His dad was there and Kevin thought watching the game was necessary.
John
I guess so.
Holmberg
That's silly. It was Sunday. Yeah, you can see your dad Sunday.
John
Hey, there's Ray.
Holmberg
Does he not know about what goes on in America on Sunday?
John
Well, he was putting together something from it. So he does keep him focused.
Holmberg
He's got no team or care at all for football. He's not a sports ball guy.
John
Cardinals.
Holmberg
Oh, you so. Yeah, like I said.
John
Yeah.
Holmberg
It says, how sad is it the.
John
Ryder cup was done?
Holmberg
Yeah, that was fun. He said, how sad is it that the Mercury are in the playoffs and the Suns and Diamondbacks just can't do it? I know it is tough that the city is cursed because the Mercury keep winning championships and no one even knows that. I, Kevin, Ray and I had this talk because he has to play pretend. I love Kevin. He's a good friend, but he was the broadcaster for the Mercury for a couple years, and he has to play pretend that he thinks Mercury basketball is awesome occasionally. And he hears me and he just laughs the whole time because he knows I'm right. And so we were talking once, and I'm like, kevin, son's been to the championship three times in their existence. 1976, 1993, 2021. Who were their opponents? And Kevin. Well, Celtics, Bulls, Bucks. All right, you broadcast two of the Mercury's championships. Who have they played in the. Hold on. And I'm like, you didn't even know. And you were the guy broadcasting the games, and you've already forgotten Seattle. I'm like, no, it's too late. You needed to rattle off as fast as you did the Suns ones. Okay, fine. And then finally, everybody just breaks it. Fine, it's hilarious. But if I have to get a tattoo of this gag, all the fun thing's gonna be explaining it to everybody. What is that? Oh, Phoenix Mercury. Are you a weatherman or something? And I'll just say yes. What's Phoenix Mercury? World champions 2025. We won.
John
That's it.
Holmberg
We won the world championship of weather in 2025.
John
And make sure you get the tattoo detailed enough. You know, they don't have to ask. Oh, it's this world champion.
Holmberg
No, it's going to be block letters, like a prison tattoo that just says, Phoenix Mercury World Champions 2025. I put it up on my left pectoral.
John
Can you do it? Old English?
Doug
Yeah, there you go.
Holmberg
Straight. Like I drew it with a pen. Yeah, homie, I'm not going old English. Nothing fancy. Just Phoenix. Just like I wrote it with a pen. Phoenix Mercury World Champs 2025. If they do it, no questions need.
John
To ask about it.
Holmberg
I'm gonna add in the word girl.
John
Why?
Holmberg
Girl basketball world champions 2025. That's what I'll write. It'll be horrible. In fact, if you've been to prison and used to be prison tap, man, if you were known as ink in the joint, you can do it. I'll have you come by and get some of that Bic ink and a needle and do a prison tattoo on my shoulder or something.
John
I think you should have that. All that information and then underneath just say, we got next.
Holmberg
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not a bad idea. Yeah, the W I'll have written on my body somewhere. Never gonna do that. I'd have to worry about it. Somebody will take out this girl basketball team and we'll have nothing to worry about. Says, remember Suns in four, guy. Now we have Mercury to two or three, maybe four. I don't know. How many do they play? No one knows. No one knows. It just ends when it ends. And it usually ends during football or a baseball playoff game because they're hiding Holmberg's morning sickness. I think It's a money laundering thing. I think the NBA's got like 15 million a year they have to cycle through my launder. It might be the only illegal money and they just siphon it through the WNBA because they know no one's looking.
Doug
Chris they used to do it the right way and get a tramp stamp and do it.
Holmberg
I thought about that. That just feels like it would hurt but so many 19 year old weak girls have gone through that. I mean how much, how bad can it be? Phoenix Mercury World Champs 2025 I'll have it written on my that's not a bad idea a tramp stamp of that but I made that comment thinking that I didn't even know but John series away this one says combo up. Your last tattoo idea when the Diamondbacks would win the championship and have Brady Drew Heybatta dressed in a Mercury jersey. That's not a bad idea. Spinning a ball to have a picture of Brady in a Mercury outfit bringing.
Doug
Him down to your personal hell too.
Holmberg
That's not a bad idea. I actually kind of like that one. Just get a tattoo of Brady on my chest with his thumbs up Merc.
John
And a tiny ball spinning.
Holmberg
Yeah baby, yeah. A little, little girl sized basketball stain. Hey fan in the little bubble above it hey fan. You get too many questions Mercury bur Brady's not bad. Yeah but there'd be worth answering Mercury Brady's not bad and you notice I'm pretty footloose and fancy free about this whole thing. I can't imagine girl championship. I just I'm gonna go ahead and lean on the Vegas Aces to get the job done and or the Indiana Fever. Evidently the Mercury have good players. Too bad no one can name them. I do I challenge you to go Old School 1990s 8th grade crank call grab a just dial up 480-and- start with 926-and- then throw in four numbers at your random and whoever answers just go I've got a million dollars. If you can quickly name two Phoenix Mercury players and everybody be like ah ah.
John
Click.
Holmberg
Then try that number again and say how about $100? Name two sons players on the roster now. Oh you get to Devin Booker and Dylan Brooks people would know immediately like most of the time. Oh yeah, I know that team because it's men's sport men's basketball, women's sports isn't bad. It's just this particular one I would endorse the 3 on 3 girls league. I'd be Dave Portnoy at that thing. I would gladly get behind that three on three, shorten the court, drop the rims down. I think that would be fun because it plays into it. But anyway, maybe I get this. Maybe I get this tattoo. Or not said use the Gatorade slogan and put letter cook underneath. That's a good idea. That's good stuff. I don't know. It says John if. The good news is, if they do when only 10 or 12 people would know. So you might be able to just lie and avoid this. We'll forget a week later. That's true. Yeah. Or I could just get one that with Aman Ra St. Brown's catchphrase. I run this and then have like one of the Mercury players on there. But I'd have to explain all that's Shedrina Bonner. I don't know who. I don't know. Throwing out there. I don't know who that is. And they'll be like, what's that? I'm like, it's a Mercury player. They're like, oh, I thought your aunt was mad. No, she's younger than me. And then everybody that saw the Doug Hopkins commercial is bugging me too. It ran so 15 seconds. We did like four or five of them last week over at Doug's office. It was great. And then threw those together. I didn't realize how fast you can put a commercial together now. I guess when you don't have to edit it at all. You're welcome, Johnny. No mistakes.
Doug
Doug did it in one take.
Holmberg
Sort of. Kind of, yeah. Doug did a couple. Like, I. I didn't. I didn't make. I made one error and said the F word. And then everybody laughed and we did. We did a bunch of them. I didn't make. We. We ran each commercial. We did like five times. So it took. It literally took 12 or 15 minutes. And I'm like, well, this will air probably later in the sea. It aired Sunday. I was asleep because I got up at 6 to watch a football game. So it aired evidently during the Eagles game. I didn't even know. People blowing up my phone. What the hell are you doing in a commercial with Doug Hopkins? Like, Doug Hopkins knows where his bread is buttered. And I needed a spokesperson that people like. And so they put me out there and I get to stand next to Doug. It was easy. It was fun. But, yeah, they didn't even. I just doubt they set it up. We did it. I figured there'd be some sort of process. And then he realized and whole things on phones. The amazing thing is now, like, professional cameramen just have really cool ways to hold their iPhones. And then that's it.
John
Yeah.
Holmberg
And they. And the whole thing was done on a phone, and it looked great. No makeup. We didn't do any of that. Doug showed up with a fresh haircut, I'll tell you that. The front edge of his hair looks phenomenal. Don't turn around. But that thing he did up front there, and he didn't even go to Turkey for that. It just. He got a good one. That is a. And then the rest of it looked really good. His beard was trimmed. I just showed up, and nobody. I thought we'd have makeup people and, like, stuff.
John
Beautiful set.
Holmberg
Sit down, Read this. Get out. And we did it, and it was fun. So it aired Sunday, and everybody's bothering me. I don't know. I don't think I should be on TV either. But there it is.
John
You guys driving in a fake car together. What's the setup?
Holmberg
No, we're just sitting in his office talking about real estate. That's it. I'm. I basically. I do all the heavy lifting. I had all the lines. I kept looking. All the lines were yellow. They were all mine. Like, how come I'm doing all the reading? There'll be more running, I guess. We're there. I. I didn't expect it this weekend, that's for sure, but sorry to sully your screens with my melon, but one thing, I've always thought, if I'm ever going to be on tv, I should probably stand next to Doug Hopkins. And it worked, because people didn't want to look at me and go, what's wrong with him? Like they normally do. Kind of normalized me a little. And we were angled in a. Yeah, it was. Yeah, we're just sitting at a desk enjoying. We're at a bar enjoying football. And just. It looks live, except for. If you notice in the background, it was at Doug's office. He's got this huge room, and in it is this gargantuan television. It's huge. And so they had a tape of last year's Cardinals and Jets game, and that's on in the background. And the only problems we had was occasionally the screen would show, like, a Cardinals logo real clear. So we had to time it to where we had, like, 20 seconds of no logos, or else you get, yeah, the NFL starts screaming at you and stuff. So it's just. You can't tell who's playing in the background. You can tell it's football, but you don't know because it blurs it out a little bit, but sometimes it would just have the big cardinal bird on there, or it would say, jets. Like, we got to stop for a second and get that off there. And then it was pretty neat. Blown away. I've done those commercials.
John
In the next round, you can just have the two. Just generic football players, like, you're out of practice.
Holmberg
I don't think you got that blue.
John
Jeep, you know, Jew jersey with nothing on it.
Holmberg
The blue Jew. Does he grant wishes? Hello, welcome. The blue Jew. Thanks for rubbing the menorah.
Doug
The Juice Murphy.
Holmberg
Oh, hey, speaking of blue Jew. Give it 20 bucks. You do that? Blue. The Jew. Yeah. No, I don't know. We're gonna dress up every week and do this. I'm pretty sure I'm done there. But it was fun. I just couldn't get over, like, having done this in the past. Usually you do that stuff, and it's like, all right, these will air November 5th. Sunday. We did it on Wednesday or Thursday. We did that Thursday, and it aired yesterday. And that's explosive timing. You can get anything now.
John
You have a whole new camera system. A lot of places with that new iPhone. Yeah, that's all they're selling.
Holmberg
The whole thing is a. It's a studio. It's incredible. And then, you know, I waste my time by going home, and I, you know, again, I'm a child deep down. Headline in the New York Post. People ask ER doctors what's the weirdest thing they've ever pulled out of someone's ass. That's in the New York Post. There's a lot of news this weekend. But they were like, this is too good to pass up. And I'm. I'm too childish not to click on that, especially knowing what we've watched with Brett's videos and stuff.
John
Yes. People stuff coming out.
Holmberg
People stay. Yeah. Yeah. It would be a fun game. People stuff things in their ass. The sad thing was, the ER Doctor, when asked the question, didn't go, what are you talking about? He went, oh, yeah, that. Well, let me see. And he had to think about, like, the 300 things he's yanked out of people's asses. And that's the error. That's worst case scenario. Think of all of the times they almost went to the ER but then got it dislodged. Think of all the people that just narrowly averted an emergency room visit with thing half stuck up their ass. When they start, you know, we start getting nervous. Like, this could mean a hospital visit. This is bad. Not when they're stuffed in your ass. But you always contemplate, is this hospital worthy? What do we do? You're 50, 50. And then you're like, I think I'll. I better go. You get like a thing in your ass and you're like, this won't come out. And your friends, whoever put it in there has to dig around and get it because you're at that point with something in your ass to where you're worried medically, you're not reaching around in there. Whoever put it there is.
John
I, I think most of them, it's solo done.
Holmberg
You want to believe that.
John
Yeah.
Holmberg
But there's a lot of people doing ass play goofing around with stuff, and usually you have a spotter for that. If you're doing it solo, you just die of it most of the time. So the doctor said, probably the weirdest thing recently he's pulled out of somebody's ass was a Yankee candle in the glass. Oh, I know.
Doug
Crandall Bailey.
John
Let's get the video of that.
Holmberg
I mean, we've seen some stuff on Brett's videos, but the dude's like, yeah. He goes, as a veteran of strange stuff, I. I gotta tell you, the things up the butt is fairly common. But a guy who came in and complained that his had a personal problem. And whenever anybody says that, that's ER doctor for there's something stuck in my ass. There's even a little personal issue if it's a man got something, a personal problem. Women come in with personal problems. It itches. There's some sort of weird discharge, something like that. Men come in and say, I've got a personal problem I'd rather not discuss with the front desk. That means something stuck in his ass. And he said, so a guy came in, he said, I've got a personal problem. I know what that's going to be. Butt stuff. And he says, and the patient confessed to the doctor that he and his girlfriend got a little weird the night before. A little. So he'd been digging around in there for almost 12, 13 hours before he finally said, I gotta go to the doctor. And he said, we couldn't get it out. And he didn't tell me what it was. And he said, but I'll tell you this, his ass smelled amazing. He had a candle in it. And he said, it's still lit. Yeah, probably. He said, so it was a Yankee candle and not the mini one, it was the big one. He said, the desktop jar. And it wasn't just the top, it was the whole thing. So he kept it capped with a little rubber edge. He put the whole thing in there. He said, even as a professional, sometimes I don't even ask why. In this case, I didn't. The question then became, how do I get this out? And really, for things that are that big, you can't just reach up there and grab it. That's what they were trying to do, and that's why it got deeper. The suction causes the vacuum to pull it even further. He says, so if you ever have this problem, you have to intubate, paralyze the patient with anesthesia, put them on a ventilator as you would an operation, give them medication that relaxes every muscle in their body so you can get up there and grab it. Holmberg's morning sickness. Holmberg's morning sickness. Holmberg's morning sickness. Man, being a doctor ain't worth it, man. Nearly desktop.
John
All one. Or does it.
Holmberg
It's one jar with the lidar with the cap off. Yeah, yeah.
John
But if. If it's just the same circumference all the way around. Usually done that taper a little narrow on that where the lid is.
Holmberg
Well, Yankee candles have that kind of bulbous cap. Then the. The handle. The like. Get your finger grip under there so it kind of cuts in and then goes down into the. It's the smoothest of the candle glass, I would say. It's not those, you know, tubes.
John
Yeah, that's what I was.
Holmberg
These are kind of the desktop bulbous. Yeah, that. It's got a cap. And then the other ones, like. Right, like that. They get that weird rounded off top which made those two go. I bet you I could get that in there. How many people do you think are hospitalized with something stuck in their ass every single year? Hospital.
John
How many a year?
Holmberg
How many a year? Resort to ER doctor. Pull this out of me.
John
2000.
Holmberg
Okay.
Doug
5.
Holmberg
4000 is the correct answer. You guys were dancing all around 4,000 people. Which means my guess would be there's another quarter million that get it out themselves.
John
Do we have. Do we have a number of, like, deaths?
Holmberg
No.
John
That they don't report in.
Holmberg
What would that fall under? Just accident.
John
Yeah.
Holmberg
Says he added after identifying the candle obstructing the exodus, staff placed bets on what scent the profile would be. And I won the bet. Pumpkin spice. It was October. It was pumpkin spice. Candle up his ass. I see.
Doug
Seasonal.
Holmberg
This is the exact candle that was not the one that was pulled out, but the style, the design of what he stuffed in there.
Doug
Your ass smells like Hawaiian breeze smell good.
Holmberg
Ooh, that's nice. I'm gonna leave it in there. If I was you, I'd leave this in there. Could you fart for me real quick? I want to see what this does. See how that mixes? Yeah. The 4,000 people are hospitalized with foreign objects in their butts.
John
Vanilla fudge.
Holmberg
Oops, sorry, sorry, Sorry. Every year. And the patient was 43. And nearly 70% of patients are male. 78%. I'm sorry. 40% require hospitalization for more than a day. Half a dozen foreign bodies are sex object. Most of the time is vibrators and sex toys. Beads go in all the time. And then stuff that's less obvious, like this candle. A French Senior citizen left Dr. Shell shocked in 2022 when he arrived with a World War II artillery shell lodged in his ass.
John
Hiram.
Holmberg
Wow. They had to evacuate the hospital just in case it went off. You can't go to the hospital for that. You just blow up. Hilarious. So I know I'm talking to an audience of people who are shaking their heads going, can you believe it? But there's probably 20% of you out there. Like, I remember the day I dodged that bullet. There's been stuff, ladies. I know you guys are quick to act like that's a no go, but.
John
You know, couple people looking at that pumpkin spice right now, for sure.
Holmberg
Life experience tells me, eventually, ladies, you're gonna try it. Whether or not it's something like that, I don't know, but stuff's going in there, and it'll. It'll swallow it up. So you can sit and shake your head with your carpool guy, but at the next stoplight, look each other in the eyes, and whoever starts laughing has had something stuck in their ass. If you're in the car with anybody around, do you believe that home bird talking about? Then just look at each other. And then one guy goes, that's the guy who's got stuff in his ass a lot. Count on it. I like that we're in a society where a journalist went to an ER doctor and that was his question, that was the story. Because if you ever think about, like, the way newspapers works, because I've watched Spider man, he assigns.
John
Gotta go get the scoop.
Holmberg
You gotta go get these. Like, you talk to your editor. It's like, I got something, Chief. What is it? I think I've got a story. About what? People shoving their asses. Well, get on out of the hospitals. Find out all you can.
John
Or it would have been a day. That guy just did it himself. He's like, what do you guys got for last night?
Holmberg
I got something jammed in my ass, and I went to the hospital. Go on. Yeah. Yeah. It turns out there's like 4,000 people just like me. There's an epidemic, Chief. Run it. Well, run that story. That's our next headline. Who is this spider man, and what's up your ass? And that's been a phrase forever. So your parents did it? Their parents. Baboo and Papal Chick. Apple Chick. Both. Because the phrase what's up your ass has been common for ages. Doesn't come out of the thin and blue sky. What's up your ass is the thing. Cause sometimes like, Jesus. Are you all right, Brad? I'm sorry. I'm having a rough day. I got something stuffed in my ass. Like, geez, you heard me. And then the phrase was born. Well, what's up your ass today? Nothing. We were acting the same as you did that time you had something in your ass.
John
They accuse you. They accuse you of having something to the way you're walking.
Holmberg
Oh, yeah.
John
Maybe there was something to that.
Holmberg
Yeah. What are you walking around like that for? I'm sorry. You got a brick in your ass. I got a spoon up my ass. Well, you want to get that out? I've been trying.
John
You find out 80% of the time it's true.
Holmberg
There's an ABS. What's up your ass? Oh, you really want to know? Oh, you're just asking to be nice.
Doug
It's a new game Izzy's gonna be playing over there.
Holmberg
What's in my ass? Said Katie. KB's like a candle. You couldn't get that out. Those are easy. And then they, you know. Yeah. What's up your ass? Should be a game they play over there. I could just hear it right now. It's time to play what's up your ass all day z93. 3. The phone lines are going crazy. You guys have a lot of stuff in your ass. We'll be right back to find out more of what's up your ass. 93.3. I got it, Izzy. We're good. Thanks for calling.
John
Then it turns in the top. That.
Holmberg
Yeah. Yankee Candle. Amateur. You want to guess what's in my ass, Izzy? Yeah, sure, go ahead. Do you want me to rev the engine? Oh, my God. Well, I used a car to chase the German shepherd in your ass. You heard me. I used to say that all the time years ago. That was a joke I did on a stage because there was a story at the time where somebody got something Stuck in his butt. And it was small. And I'm like. I just said. I remember in this society, bigger is always better. Eventually it's gonna get bigger and there's gonna be, you know, you know, you know, it was hamsters. It was hamsters. And then it turned. Well, that's not gonna be enough. So then it turned into like rabbits and then small dogs and then medium sized dogs. Then like the head of a pony, then like a full German shepherd. And eventually somebody just be like, all right, just. If I just bend over, just. Just slowly pull in and then rev the engine. I got a h. We keep getting bigger and bigger. Remember when that was the biggest news in the world? And it's still not sure if it's true. Richard Gere had a hamster in there. And everybody's question was how.
John
Coast to coast.
Holmberg
Yeah. Everyone's question was, how do you do it? And we all learned about the toilet paper roll and the poor little hamster. And to cover the end. And he would run in that oily mess. That. That poor hamster. Important.
John
Nobody ever felt bad for the hamster habit. Habit trail or whatever. The plastic tube.
Holmberg
Oh, any sort of tube that he'd go in. But people were, you know, they were figuring it out at home if you didn't have a habit trail. And a lot of them didn't. Brady. Many of them weren't really trying to go for the entertainment of the hamster. Trying to treat the hamster right. They go pick up the hamster that day. They didn't get the idea that their beloved pet would be fun in their ass one day. So they took him out of his enclosure. I don't think people who shove hamsters in their ass have the enclosure. I'm pretty sure they're not spending time at petsmart trying to get the best stuff for that hamster that's just going in his ass. They use the bounty tube. They're not going and spending extra cash on an aquarium. I've got like seven of them, and I just can't help but want to shove that one in my ass.
John
Don't think that it would hold up the tube. Be strong.
Holmberg
Well, you'd be surprised. Those are very strong.
Doug
Cards were running.
John
Yeah.
Holmberg
And all he really needs to do is one trip. What do you. What's it need to hold up for? You're thinking of your ass. You'd clinch it up.
John
Yeah. There's no way.
Holmberg
There's a way. Yeah, there's a way. But you wanna. Yeah. I don't think those guys are going to petsmart, maybe buy one PVC pipe or something.
John
Then the other thing is. So they had that caliper thing that we've seen.
Holmberg
Yeah. Now, that's new. Like I said.
John
Yeah.
Holmberg
What I joked about 30 years ago is now coming true in ways I'd never imagined. Like, you can drop bowling balls in some of these people, and eventually that will be the thing. We're not even batting an eye at this anymore. Which makes me wish that dude last week was right and it was the end of the world because we don't seem to. We have a stomach for everything now. It's incredible. You imagine your grandpa coming back to life and showing him one of Brett's videos.
John
I think you'd faint.
Holmberg
He'd die again. Alvar would drop dead in this room if you showed him any of that arms to shoulders ass action that we've seen several times. I don't know that my grandpa would understand.
John
No way.
Holmberg
Alvar, not. Not the human condition. He wouldn't understand how that. And then he'd just die. He'd just look at it, and the last feeling, he'd be like, what's that? That's what people.
John
Papilla would say, what? What are we looking at?
Holmberg
Yeah. What is this? And then he would just die immediately. Alvar would look at me and go, why did you. What is this? Oh. And that would be the end of it.
John
My dad.
Holmberg
Your dad. Yeah. That would be the end of it.
Doug
We have an early entry since we were talking about.
Holmberg
There's two arms in this guy's butt. Oh, wait. Is that a girl?
John
I think that's.
Holmberg
It's looking like. There you go. There goes a full glass Mason jar. And it's going right in. How do you do it? How do you people do it? Look at that.
John
Is that the. Okay.
Holmberg
Yeah. She keeps giving hand signals like she's scuba diving. Thumbs up, give the okay symbol. It's time to surface. Jesus. We're not screwing around. That's a. Whoa.
John
That's a mason.
Holmberg
That's a full mason jar for, like, lots of preserves. Are they listening to kupd?
Doug
I think so.
John
That's reverse canning.
Holmberg
All right. Thank you. Very well done. It's an old timey joke, but that was a good one. I like that. Canning is what old people used to do with their fruits. And then if it's in a can. So it's canning. The canning. It's pretty good stuff. Morning sickness. Hol's. Morning sickness. Come on. They just showed a guy. Yeah. And you think. And you think a bounty roll wouldn't go in there? I don't think it would hold up because you're thinking of that pristine little tube. Every time that the candle comes out or whatever that jar was, the dude decides to open it with his hands, and you could get a whole head in there. That's enough, Brett. It's not time for that yet.
Doug
Well, Crandall was involved in the conversation and had to send us over something.
Holmberg
Speaking of the end of the world guy, the video team's upper. Oh, yeah, they're up there. Well, they're doing their. It's Monday. They're at work. The guy who made the proclamation at the end of the world that Jesus came to him, sat in the throne and said, September 23rd and 24th, it's all over. Sell your stuff. Get your affairs in order. Get your house right. He said he did a video this weekend saying he was sorry for that. So my question, he was part of the.
John
Other conspiracy. Conspiracy theory that it's not happening because the Epstein files weren't really.
Holmberg
Yeah, that's it. That must be it. That must be it. And that's enough of that. No more rapture people, and no more if it happens. Let's just all be surprised. Don't try to get ahead of the game and be the guy who called it. It's not the NCAA bracket. If it's the end of the world, you're not going to get any extra credit for going. Called it. It doesn't matter. So you got it. Fresno Speed State beat Gonzaga. Wow. Called it doesn't matter if you don't win the tournament. It doesn't matter. Another thing that has to stop happening because it's making me mad, is people who keep saying that God did that to Charlie Kirk on purpose. If that's part of your God's plan, he's miserable, that's all. Leave a note for the kids at the very least, or take him in his sleep. Why did he have to blow up his throat on tv So I could sit back and listen to people going, God called for him. He could have done it a lot nicer. He left a lot of trauma in his wake, especially for two little kids and a lady. So I know that's how some people deal with stuff, but keep that to yourselves, because that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. God did that so Charlie could be by his side. Mm. Like a thousand different options on that one, I think. And that's his biggest fish to fry right now, is to make sure that Charlie's with him. Child cancer. You want to get on that real quick? If you're going to get involved with us, don't do it that way, man.
John
I ran into someone who's talking about the whole situation. He's like, we haven't seen. How come we haven't seen the Turning Point cameras. Because they had multiple. I didn't know.
Holmberg
Violence. Yeah, they were.
John
He's like. He's saying it's not a 30 06. I go, well, didn't they have cases? He's like, this was.
Holmberg
Who cares?
John
The entry of it.
Holmberg
Okay. By the way, this kid didn't do.
John
In other words, saying the kid was just the pansy.
Holmberg
Okay, Patsy, whatever. If everybody wants it to be bigger than it actually is, it's a lunatic that shot a guy. That's it.
Doug
Regardless.
Holmberg
Yeah, yeah, he's a pansy. Like Red still laughing at the idea that he calls him he's a pansy. Which I would. I would say, since he had that trans girlfriend.
Doug
Not wrong.
Holmberg
He's right, actually. He's a Patsy Pants. Right. He's Patsy Pansy, the worst porn star ever. I'm Patsy Pansy. I can't imagine what you're going to do next, but yeah, blue is. I mean, you know, come on. Enough of that whole that's God's plan. Stop it. Keep that to yourself, because that's crazy. Talk to a normal person who doesn't want to hear that that's what God will do to get a buddy with, you know, to spend the weekend with him. That sounds crazy. And leave a family behind like that. And you think you're making sense. God chunked out. And if I. By the way, if I ever. If we had cameras in the studio and my throat exploded. KP is probably not going to throw that video out too quickly, I don't think. Pretty sure my employers are going to be like, you know what? These videos are done. We're not doing this. If they did it, it would be for clicks. And that's gross. How come we haven't seen the Turning Point videos? You don't. You're not entitled to that. That was a horrible stuff situation. Just absolutely dreadful.
John
To prove it, man.
Holmberg
I read a whole article this week in this lady trying to make it beautiful. And I understand that that's how you're dealing with it, but do you realize how stupid you sound? That that's what your God would do to someone? It's because he called him do it in his sleep. Write a note like Santa or the Tooth fairy and say, hey, kids, I borrow your dad for the next 60, 70 years, he'll see you later. Blow them up on TV. So they gotta deal with that the rest of their lives. That's not a God I want to get behind, even if it is part of some greater plan. Kind of gruesome. Make a better plan. I could come up with a better plan. Like, we need you to go get Charlie Kirk and make it so the family's okay. He's not coming back. Like, okay, I'll come up with something. Don't blow him up. All right, I won't. Terrible. So, yeah, I saw this whole thing this weekend. Everybody's just nodding because everybody's afraid to say, that's gross. Because, you know, you're talking about people's religions and stuff. But that's a gross one. That's really. And the Mormons lost a guy this weekend. Their main. Their main fella, the Mr. Nelson. Mr. Nelson is his name. He's. He's like a thousand and four years old, and he. He passed away. So the Mormons are. I guess it's like their pope or something. He's their president. Yeah, the president of Mormons. There's Bob Nelson. I don't know his name. I forgot, as a comedian in the 80s. But he's gone too, so that's the way I want God to call me.
Doug
Plus, they had that church fire, too, in Michigan.
Holmberg
Oh, that's right. Well, that. Yeah, that whole thing. But I want God to call me that way. I want God to call me when I'm, like, 78 and sleeping rather than blow me up on TV. I think that's a better way for God to call. Yeah, that seems better. Call. The oldest living Mormon president passed away. God. Nobody ever says that. Oh, God needed him by his side. No, because unless it's vulgar and horrible.
John
Russell Nelson.
Holmberg
All right, whatever. Who cares? Bottom line is, that's a better way to get called out by whatever you believe in.
John
Had a good run 101.
Holmberg
I had an argument with somebody who said that. It's like, yeah, that's just the way it works. I'm like, okay, you can say that because you believe that, that God blew Charlie Kirk up in front of all of us. To see, in the most violent, disgusting way possible. If a Muslim said that, you'd think they were crazy. If a Muslim said, yes, Allah called him, that was. He exploded for Allah. He'd be like, oh, they're nuts. That's radicalism. But we do it and it's like, oh, that's beautiful. Yeah, but they're doing that.
John
That's there. There's a difference.
Holmberg
Is it.
John
Charlie wasn't doing it himself.
Holmberg
No, no, no, I'm not talking about that. They, they'll kill for like people who get blown up. Yeah, See, for the Muslim cause, Right?
Doug
An honor.
Holmberg
It's an honor.
John
Yeah.
Holmberg
And it's like God called him up and like he gets shot at or killed. It's like, oh, he's. They love that stuff. And we think they're crazy and we turn around, do the exact same thing. You look at that in the Middle east, if somebody gets, you know, martyred their heroes, and we're like, man, they're nuts. That's a group of nuts. We're no different. I find it all the same drive.
John
I mean, as far as, you know what. Hey, you know what you're doing, you know, you feel compared. Compelled by your faith, but there's some risk to it.
Holmberg
Okay, yeah, but you're not hearing me. Like, when people after the fact start going, this is because God wanted him. That's creepy. Because when a. When it happens in the Middle east, we find it disturbing when they say, oh, he did it. Allah needed him. So. Yeah. That you watch a vulgar video of some guy getting exploded and they're like, that's good. God needed that guy. He was a spokesman for us. And I'm like, I. I don't know. Call me crazy, but I'd rather have a God that wasn't into that kind of stuff. I wouldn't want to believe in that. That sounds bananas to me. If you get your head blown off because God likes you. What? That's bananas. Yeah, no, that's the way he works. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm. Can I. I'd like to choose God. Be, please. Doesn't make any sense to me. Hard, Hard pressed to explain it. How it's different when it's a Muslim guy that we call a radical lunatic than when we start saying it's a beautiful thing here. I just feel bad for the kids. That video is going to be floating around forever. They're going to see that nobody needs to see someone they love. No one to see that at all. What's your dad. And try to explain to them, oh, no, because God wanted to hang with him. Like, was he Muslim? Nope. Like, oh, so we're the same. It's creepy. So stop saying that. Just start saying it's gross like Jimmy Kimmel does at 7:31. What do you got on the big board of musical treats.
Doug
All right, well, the hundreds are pretty much over is what they're saying. So now's the time to get the head out on the trails and go over to Action Ride Shop, pick yourself up a bike, get that bike serviced. It's now time to do it, guys. We've been telling you about it for a while, but best wrenches in town can be found at Action ride shop, with two locations right there at Gilbert Road and Southern. The OG and the brand new one at Power Road and McDowell. Get your bike fixed, get a new bike, rent a bike and get all the goodies that go along to hitting you up on the trail. It is action ride shop. ActionRideshop.com is where you want to be.
Holmberg
This guy says you're comparing suicide to assassination. No, no. Never mentioned suicide. Whenever we killed Osama bin Laden, like, he's. It was good. They celebrated it. It was a big deal.
John
Nation martyred him.
Holmberg
Yeah. Immediately. Yeah. And they made it like God's will. Oh, it's great. He's with God now. They. Anytime that kind of happens, it's terrible. No, I'm not. I just find it to be, like, pretty comparable. I can't really be explained away. It's gross. Stop doing it.
Doug
On the list, Body count, Ski Mask Way for Skyler Walking around Ireland. Ghost, Beastie Boys. Filter Raw, Three doors down. Loser for Lamar Jackson. Steve Miller Band. The Joker for the packers and Cowboys. Tie Metallica, Demon Hunter, Hate Breed. Destroy everything for ties in the NFL. Eddie Murphy. Boogie in your butt. Well, we obviously know what that's for. White Zombie. Welcome to Planet Mother Effort for all the crazies in the world. And army of Anyone, Goodbye.
Holmberg
Forgot about army of Anyone. That was the. The dude from Filter and the guys from Stone Temple Pilots. Do we know Goodbye?
Doug
Oh, yeah, that was a hit.
Holmberg
Let's play that. I haven't heard that in 15 years. That was a great song. Goodbye was the big hit. I don't remember that.
John
Les Claypool, 62 today.
Holmberg
Les is 62. How about that? My God. And I'm sure there's people out there that want to scream and yell that he should play the super bowl halftime show, but it's Bad Bunny and it's the right choice.
John
You imagine that 20 minutes of base.
Holmberg
Yes, I can. But can I also imagine what a poor choice it would be to the masses to go, what the hell's wrong with this guy? Why is that man in the top hat doing that to that base? Did he just do pure imagination. Bring the game back on. Baboni ladies get a little moist. Dude stare and go, what's this dude doing? Whether you like it or not, you're gonna watch Metallica and stuff like that that everybody's clamoring for. It's not ever going to happen ever. Yeah. Do you have it? Yeah, I got it. Okay, let's do it. I forgot all about army of Anyone. This song was great. I actually had high hopes for them to kind of become a super group, and it never really panned out. That's awesome. All right, army of Anyone. When did this come out? 2008. 9. Mightn't be before that. Oh, this is gonna hurt. This is gonna hurt a lot because Scott Weiland died in, like, I don't remember, 2005. Oh, boy. All right, here we go. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully ere.
Episode: 09-29-25
Date: September 29, 2025
Main Theme:
A classic irreverent episode that swings from a hilarious, biting critique of Phoenix’s WNBA team’s success and cultural relevance, through wild medical stories involving foreign objects, and finally lands on a skeptical discussion of religious rationalization after tragedy. Holmberg and the crew blend sports, shock humor, and social commentary in their signature unfiltered style.
The main focus is Holmberg’s mixture of local sports disappointment (with Phoenix’s Mercury WNBA team's unexpected finals appearance), grotesquely comic medical anecdotes, and an exploration of how people process the unfulfilled “end of the world” prophecy and violent tragedy through faith. The tone is consistently irreverent, self-deprecating, and confrontational on social norms and media narratives.
If you haven’t heard the episode, expect:
Note: This episode is NSFW in both content and style, with comic exaggeration and shock designed to entertain and provoke thought in equal measure.
