You're listening to the HMS podcast brought to you by MMP guns.com your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories. Still streaming Homberg's morning sickness online@98kupd.com Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Victory Monday. It is the morning sickness. My name's John. There's Brady. There's Brett. There's Big Dick Toledo. And yeah, it's Victory Monday. And it feels good. Once again. Sunday's behind us. You got one, Brett. And I barely covered our our Thursday morning bets with Hella Stray. We've got our ends in. You got the Bears. You picked them skinnier teeth. Good win. My Steelers beat the Vikings, as I said and expected. And then Dale picked against his Cowboys and what the. Was that a tie? They got to come up with something. That's ridiculous. I can't have ties. Even when the players don't know. George Pickens at the end of the game was like, you can have ties. He said that? I didn't know you could tie. Yep, there's ties. College stinks. Their system, I think, is stupid. It's like everybody gets a chance.
B
Well, at the end it's. It's a war. And then it's nothing but two point conversions.
A
Everybody gets to try two point conversions. Then you get to try and you get to try. I like sudden death. I miss sudden death. Everybody's like, but why doesn't everyone get to touch the ball? Well, Bernie Sanders, because that's not how life works. And sometimes you get by the coin toss and then you've got a defense, right? It's not like the team automatically just goes out and gets points. But if I don't have a chance to play offense, then I don't have a chance to win. Well, in order to earn a chance to play offense, stop the team with your defense. If you give up the no field goals, though, you have to score a touchdown that you can't do it. You gotta score a touchdown. That's. And then. So your defense is part of it. Sudden death was the best. The only problem I had with it is now. And now especially Everybody can kick 90 yard field goals. It. You know, you can't have field goals. But if you go down there and do the. Hey, you have a chance to stop them. I didn't. I never understood that. How come we never get a chance? Do you not put a defense on the field? Is that. Isn't that half of your team? Aren't they responsible for keeping it a tie too? If they can't stop Them root for that coin toss then. Better do some adjusting as coaches to make sure that team doesn't march down the field on you. But yeah, I'm not a fan of the college system because it's just. And then I really hate the college system. Be like, oh, it took eight overtimes. No, it didn't. It was eight series. It's practice. You're watching drills can be kind of exciting, but it's like a free throw shooting contest. But ties. Whatever college is doing is better than a tie. That's for sure. Garbage.
B
Yeah. No ties.
A
No ties again. Can't have ties. Screwed up our whole bat last night. Well, now my part. I had 14 leg parlay. Oh, and I had hit every game during the day except the damn Giants and Chargers. So I wasn't that upset. So I'm just waiting for all of those checks to go green on the left side of my deal after last night. And just look at that one single X next to the Giants and Chargers, which no one saw coming. And thank God it was a. It was a zeroed out on the. I didn't have that one either. That was a lock last night. Two weeks in a row the packers have. Have wrecked. That's the bed, Suicide pools and all that other stuff. So it was pretty nice. Yeah. Yeah. You got no problem with it? No, not at all. Likes it. And he gets to, you know, your Bears win. You have that moment that I have when the Ravens. You had your Bears win yester and the packers tied, which is even better. Making me happy. George Jefferson walking into that apartment building at the beginning, I'm just like strutting the Conor McGregor, just going right to it. It was. It's just. Damn it, Brett. You're gonna. We're doing it again. I can't help it. Come on. I know you start dancing. Football is great. I also like that while the Steelers were in Ireland, their third string quarterback, who's injured anyway, was having a n in Dublin. And they looked. He got mugged. They stole his wallet. And I know exactly why. Because they were like, what you doing out on our streets there? Oh, don't mind me. I'm just a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Oh yeah? I never heard of you. What's your name? Skyler Thompson. Get him, boys. He's an easy Marcus named Skyler. Ain't nobody fights back named Skyler. And they took his wallet right before, which makes me giggle. It was a Sunday going into the morning. So he's out for a morning stroll. It's working his hamstring they scratched me. There's some guy outside says he plays American football called Skyler. Ah, he's not half a man out there doing his thing, but he ain't no Skyler at all. We took him down, here's his wallet. And sure enough, his license says his name is Skyler. His mother and father named him that. No, stop laughing, guys. No, I know, it's fact. I know. And he's actually got some money. His wallet had some Irish money in it, some disgusting euros. Anyway, yeah, it was great. International games absolutely suck something. Fear 6am Star 6:30. But still, it's just awful. And that's what I said this a couple years ago. And I'm like, oh, 17 game, unbalanced schedule. The NFL is kind of like, oh, we're going to have more games. What they're doing is getting you used to one of your team's home games being international. So you'll still get eight at home and eight on the road and then one some wacky destination. That's going to be the deal from here on out. I can like. They got so excited about Ireland. It was the first time anybody had ever played in Ireland and the place was just packed and like outside was crazy. So they're like, oh boy. Then they're talking about Australia, which is insane because that'll be on midnight here. And then you got, you know, you got all sorts of crazy. But that one extra game is going to be a floater for international play. And boy, are they heavy handing this international deal. Even last night you could hear everybody over the age of 47, everybody when they heard who the halftime show is for Super Bowl 6. And they're like, who? The Bad Bunny. Like, that was the whole announcement to 45 plus year old people. I like Bad Bunny. I don't. I like him as a person. I think he's funny. Like, I've seen him do stuff. Saturday Night Live, he's funny. And the movies he does. He's fun. He's like got good charisma. He's charismatic and very his mu. I prefer my music to be in English, unless it's Rammstein, because I know what they're singing about. It's horrific. Like if, if he was thinking. If Bad Bunny, it turns out, was thinking about cannibalism or, or some sort of strange home abortions, like the way Ramstein does, I'd be like, what's he up to? But he sings about love and I got enough of that cart hell stuff. Yeah, well, if that was a thing if it was like butchering, you know, and you're like, wow, peso pluma knows how to get it done. Like, these dudes sing some crazy stuff. He sings about love, and I've got English love. I can turn on anything I want. And English love comes out. I don't need that. I don't need Spanish love. Amore, he's got it. But baboni, he's going to be hatang. It's a baboni hatang, which makes me go, oh, more international stuff.
B
And they're throwing it out there. Like Taylor Swift hands it to him. She turned it down.
A
Fine by Bonnie.
B
Whatever her reasons were, you know, she's like, she knows what a big deal, what she would bring by doing the halftime. I don't want to do it for free.
A
Look, she's. She's, yeah, she's a businesswoman. She's got it figured out. And she didn't have the, you know, look, they have options. I must have got. And here's the, here's. I'm going to hear it on my emails. I'm going to hear. I heard it on my text last night when Friends fired over Bad Bunny, what the NFL doing. And I'm like, they're marketing to everybody but you. They've got you. They don't. They don't need to market to you. What about Mattel? Everybody always hit me hard. Acdc, these guys are filling stadiums all over the world. Like, yeah, but they've. They've already got you. Remember, the super bowl has a billion people watching. That doesn't happen week to week. There are mostly fans who kind of pay attention to just that game. And that's who they're marketing. Women, young people. They're trying to win over the people that don't do what we do, which is wake up at six in the morning to watch your favorite team decorate a room in your house. They're trying to get those people interested. And Bad Bunny is exactly how they do that. So save your finger time pounding on a keyboard, screaming out, what about Metallica? I mean, it's in San Francisco. They. They'll go, no, that's not mass appeal. Metallica is not mass appeal. Whatever. No, it isn't. It's already won itself a space. They're not going to do that again. If anything, they would do like a years from now a retro thing and Metallica would come out and do a song and then you'd have like ACDC do a song and then they would be doing it with like Sabrina Carpenter. And, you know, Billie Eilish, they're going to do it with people who are. And even Billie Eilish is getting to the point now where it's like, maybe a little long in the tooth for the super bowl halftime show.
B
In a way, they'll have the. The guitar is too. And just. Because when it's happening. I got to check this out.
A
Oh, yeah. Enough to bitch. We're going to watch the hate even more. But it doesn't have anything. It doesn't have a thing to do with you watching the halftime show. Yeah, it's people who get a positive vibe on NFL experiences, so then they check in again next year, or they have a feeling like, man, that super bowl is amazing. And they start thinking about football and they start. You know, they just want. Especially in Mexico, where they're gonna have a team in the next 10 years there. There's definitely this, hey, we're paying attention to you kind of thing. It's like, it makes. You know, people always say that. We don't know it because we're white, but you know how people always say that it was nice to see somebody who looks like me on screen doing something. Black people always say it. Mexican people always say, it's like, it was just nice to see women. They always say, someone representing me. Bad Bunny is that. Bad Bunny's going to make all these kids in Mexico that are kind of meh. I don't know if the NFL cares. They just kind of traipse. These is going to make them go, where's art? We're. We're part of it.
B
We're ready.
A
We're part of it, and it's going to be huge. A lot of times there's a spike in the ratings for the NFL halftime show, and that would be a bunch of people internationally looking at this thing as well. So, yeah, the Bad Bunny thing has got. You got to shut up. Finally shut up about whether or not your favorite band's ever going to play the super bowl, because they're not. Always pick some crappy pop artists. Yep, it's mass appeal. It's easy. You don't lose women. I hate to break it to you, but young women are not going to watch Guns N Roses and think this is awesome. They're going to laugh at it. A bunch of transvestites on stage screaming at them. That's not what they listen to. They don't like it. They don't like that. Proof. Proof is in the research. They just don't. I actually was told by Katero it's like we got maiden. You got. I mean, you could do a classic retrospective of me. Like, who knew is coming to the party with that. Tell me what group of people other than maybe eight or nine gays who are into the Judas priest, if they showed up. No, you're not getting anybody new. That's how you've already got the 50 plus year old male. There's no reason to market to them. They hate, they hate market. They spending money on people you've already got. That's dumb. So baboni makes the most sense. I have no idea how it's gonna go over, but I guarantee you the complaining from white men in America is going to be unbelievable. February 9, 2026. It's going to be unbelievable. You got this up there screaming and yelling in Spanish the whole time. I wanted ice agents to come get him off the stage. Like, yeah, okay, this is. I get it. No, what are your journeys from journey from San Francisco. Get them up there. Nope, Nope, nope. That's 65 year old white men and women and they've already got them. So no p. D. Bloomberg's morning sickness.
B
Well, I think the future is AI games. They're gonna phase out to 50.
A
Yeah.
B
It's not gonna be.
A
I would, I would hope that's not true, but I can see that that probably would be eventually AI football, where everybody's got like nine fingers and like a snail like shell on their back for no reason sometimes. Yeah, it's weird. It's a definitely a thing. But the bad bunny argument, and I've already gotten a couple I saw earlier. I didn't even read them the Helen bad bunny question mark. I'm like, yep. You guys got to understand that the NFL, Well, I know it. They do not care about you after you're 40. They go, Gotcha. What's next? They're always thinking about the next generation and they're great at it. They are great at it because you ain't going anywhere. Neither am I. But they're no longer going to point the light on you. You're gone. They already got you way back in the day when they had Diana Ross as the halftime show and they didn't know what they were doing. Oh, that whole Motown thing. Yeah, yeah. It was like, huh? And Michael Jackson did it. And they're like, we can make this kind of a worldwide spectacle. What are we doing with flag twirlers? And then they got the big money from Apple and Pepsi and everybody else and they're like, just make it. Make it so internationally, it counts. And that's who really matters is Apple itunes, goes through the moon every halftime show. You're going to see so many Bad Bunny downloads, it's ridiculous. And by the way, all us stubborn whites, he's pretty good at what he does. Like, I went to a tequila bar downtown about two years ago, and I didn't realize Baboni was playing the arena.
B
Oh, yeah, you're so just.
A
Oh, the streets were filled, packed with Bad Boney fans. And I'm like, who the what the is Bad Bony? And I would ask people, who's the concert tonight? And that's why I say how I say it. I didn't hear one person say it's Bad Bunny. I heard Baboony. Like, what are they saying? Steve Balboni, former third baseman for the Royals, who's playing. How did he get such an Internet? And the lowriders are cruising by, and I'm like, all right, we're going to get stabbed. So as the show went on, went up to a place called Barcoa, which is awesome. It's in the basement of what used to be the lavage building next to the old Brady Zone. And it is a great tequila bar. And their drinks are outstanding. And it's a cool little, like, speakeasy. And inside, I'm shazaming every song. Who's this Babboni next month? Like, who's this? These are good. Bad Bony. I'm like, it's all Bad Bony. And that's when I realized, oh, those people are saying Bad Bunny. Do you remember us asking who's playing? Playing? And they kept saying, baboni. It's Bad Bunny in English. And he's pretty good. I can't listen to it because I like to scream along. I don't know what the hell. He's saying something in Spanish. But he is going to do a Hot Tang show the Baboni. And I don't know if this means Devin Booker is going to break up with Kendall Jenner again and she's going to go back to Baboni.
B
He's going to bring some guests to.
A
Oh, sure, international ones. There's going to be some people up there. It's going to be a. It's going to be a cavalcade of people in their 20s on the halftime stage winning over people in their 20s. That's just how it's going to be. And world. So this is bull. And I filmed a Metallica. Like, no, you're never going to see it. It's not going to Happen. If you do, it'll be a weird little one off. It'll be a side thing. And people are like, oh, cool. And they can't play a whole halftime show. It just can't. Yeah. This guy points it out, he goes, anything's better than Lady Gaga's beer gut. And I agree with that one. That was a tough one to watch. She didn't even do any sit ups or get ready. You don't remember that was in Houston.
B
Jumped off the roof.
A
She jumped off the roof and then splattered down and her big jello belly was rolling all over and she had those tights on. I'm like, did you not know you were doing this, like weeks ago? Couldn't you get in fighting shape for this thing? Pretty chunky. At the very least, cover it up. Don't act like, you know, you never watch. Like when fighters. Women always get mad at men when we say that too. I remember that was when I kept saying, lady Gaga's fat. That's mean. Did you hear me last boxing match? I watched? And I'm like, oh, the guy's terrible shape. He's fat. It's like, you point out when people are fat, boxers hit the ring and they're fat. You say so. It's like, oh, he's gonna have trouble. Ufc. He's like, oh, Jon Jones didn't work as hard as camp. Didn't go, well, he's fat. She might have seven or eight extra pounds. Yeah, that's fat. We don't want to do that. She's seven or eight extra pounds on a woman. Her size is like 10% of her body. That's a big fat pig. Now, now, you put it that way. She's El Gordo to the bon, but we'll see. But, yeah, stop thinking that you're going to be the NFL's target ever again, because you're not. And that's so sad. This guy said, did you just call Guns N Roses transvestites? I'm not saying they're transvestites, but that's what young people would see if they were on stage. Because if you've seen Axl Rose lately, he's everybody's grandmother's aunt, like Grandma's sister. Grandma always had that lesbian sister. There's a lot of those that had that weird sister that didn't have a husband anymore. Like, that either left or died early. And she got her hair cut real weird and it was red. That was, you know, Aunt Grace. And she'd come over for Thanksgiving and Never really got comfortable with her. And sometimes she had a leather coat on.
B
Went beyond the Miss Hathaway from Beverly Hills.
A
Yeah, she kind of had that. Is that what's going on with Aunt Grace's hair? That's what Axl looks like to people who are young. Lesbian. Grandma's aunt or sister. Aunt Grace slash is just a strange one. And the other guys are nothing to look at. Not good for tv. I like Guns N Roses. I love Guns N Roses. But I also know what young people would see if we surprised him on halftime with Guns N Roses. And it's a lesbian woman in her 60s, 70s. It's. They're not gonna want to see that. Have you seen Kirk Hammett yet? Metallica fans recently? That's not going real well. He looks a little bit like the. The mad scientist that was in. What was that movie? The one with the Will Smith and the aliens and stuff. They flew up in the Mac Pro. Independence Day. Independence Day. Remember? Brett Spiner had to. He had that gray wig on and he was the mad scientist. That's what Kirk turned into.
B
Amazing. You know his name?
A
Yeah. Brett Spiner from Star Trek. And then you have Lars, who looks a little bit like a Progeria child at this point. He's either 25 or he's 119. You can't tell.
B
Starting to look like his old man.
A
James is the only one that looks good. He does. He looks a lot like that old. That old Led Zeppelin cover album guy with the sticks. Yeah. And Robert still looks good. Robert looks good. Yeah. Yeah. Robert's aged well, but he's the youngest of them, I think. Yeah, he was 18, but even. Still a little scary for the average 22 year old to see. A menacing Mexican and, you know, a mad scientist with guitars. They don't want to see that stuff. You can rattle off all the things you want to happen at Superheft. You look at the list. I mean, it hasn't been rock and years. I mean, Kendrick, Usher, Rihanna, it's what gets.
B
But when they're Snoop Doggy Dog.
A
Yeah. Okay. That was great. But again, it was a throwback to what they wanted to do. That was huge pop stuff. That was a great halftime show because it somehow or another got the young people and the old people to all agree on something that doesn't occur. Metallica would not be the case. I had a guy tell me, allison, you love Allison Chains. Texting last night. You love Alison Chains. Why can't they do it? Like, first off, one of them's dead. They're not big enough anymore. Yeah. They're nowhere near it. And I'm like, can you imagine? It would sound like a beehive to people in their 20s if all of a sudden, just like all this Alice in Chains droning music goes out there. No, I think the last major rock one was probably when Chili Peppers were with Bruno. Yeah. I mean, the whole. When was that? 2010. That's been a minute. And Springsteen before that. Tom Petty. I was at the Springsteen one. Prince, that was down there in Tampa. Stones, See, they were rolling all the old Stones one, too. Stones and Springsteen were. And then the one I was at was Guns N Roses. I think Slash was with the Black Eyed Peas when I was the one in Dallas. And I walked. I went and got beer. It was the greatest time to get beer. If you're ever at a Super Bowl. Walk out like the halftime. I would leave the baboni and I'd go get myself a drink because the place doesn't budge. Everybody's in their seats for halftime.
B
Merch.
A
Yeah, I didn't care. I. Black Eyed Peas. I'm like, let's get retarded. I was offended. I went and got a beer. Walking around, you can still see it. That screen there was huge. Anyway, I got other fish to fry. The Mercury are in the championship. They won. Those emails are flying in right now. That is. Those broads ended up making it. I got. I don't know how many games they play in girl basketball for the finals, but I hope. I don't know who they're playing. Who is it? I'll look it up. The Toxic Shock.
B
That's one team. They're playing that one team in the finals.
A
The other girls. Yeah, the team full of girls. I'm like, well, it seems like when you say it that way, they're going to win. But then you got to remember that they're also a team full of girls.
B
Playing the New Jersey Generals.
A
No, that was a different league altogether in different era. I think it's the Detroit Toxic Shock. That used to be a team. I added the toxic part, but they called them the Shock, which. It's either the Fever or the Aces. Oh, geez. It's come down to the Indiana Fever and all their injuries, but they're going to game five. Yeah, they're taking it all the way. And they only play five of them because they can't play seven. They're women.
B
Seven.
A
Only in the finals is it a finals. Is seven. Oh, man. All right. Series begins October 3rd. Go Fever. Or Aces. Man, is that league well marketed. Let's start our finals during baseball playoffs. And footballs, you know, like right in the heart of the beginning of the season. Geniuses they are.
B
Let me give you a situation that happened last night. If you can. I'll give you an option. You're a parent.
A
All right, I'm out.
B
Yeah, well, but you have to. You have an option here. You're a parent.
A
Oh. Regardless. I don't. That's not my option.
B
Yeah, and you have an option that your mother in law will watch the kids and you get a night off. But your night off is courtside at the Mercury.
A
No, I go to work. I was hanging out with the kids. Yeah, I'd do some yard work. I might build something. Cheese, grate my feet.
B
Neighbor's sister went to the game with her. Her dad goes to all the games and he sits courtside side.
A
Her dad's a lesbian. I didn't know that was a thing. He goes option.
B
You know what? I get a night off without watching the.
A
That's how much people hate their kids.
B
You get it.
A
Wow. You know, I've. I've been. I've been a proponent of saying I see through the ruse of parents talking about how much they love their children and everything else, but every chance they get, they try to leave them. They just know they're legally not allowed to stay forever. Except for Toledo's dad. Still know how he got away with that. But Mercury game is a bridge too far. Basically saying anything except that bag of carbon mass that cries and screams at me all the time. I'll go sit at a Mercury game for three hours and consider it a day off. Yuck. Who is this?
B
She hung out most of the time back in the. Where the food beverage was waiting because you sit on the courtside seat.
A
Sure. She went down to the club.
B
Yeah.
A
I don't think they go crazy like they do for Sun's game. She might have some hot dogs and a beer down there, but the clubs, they amp it up for.
B
Yeah. And you can still watch down there.
A
Yeah. Why would you do that? Why would you ask me?
B
I was just thinking about that. Your option is you get a night off.
A
You know what?
B
But you're going.
A
Brett will back me up on this. That's the first time I've ever thought, nah, the kid's not so bad. I'll hang out with him. Holberg's morning sickness. Morning sickness 98. Can you leave a PD? Bloomberg's Morning Sickness? Yeah. Parents hate their kids. I'm tired of Hearing that other than the birth of my child, this is the best day. My. The birth of your child wasn't so great. That looked like a bloody, horrible mess. And then every chance you get, all I hear you saying is, we got to get away from this thing. She's driving me insane. Mercury game.
B
I knew what your answers would be.
A
My answer would not be, go to that. I mean, you're borderline like, John, You're a parent. Here are your options. You get to relive a day in Auschwitz, or you can go to a Mercury game. I'm like, she's. What time's the training?
B
They could close out the series.
A
You got a train from Phoenix to Auschwitz. Okay, that's kind of neat. All aboard. I gotta go. You can run alongside and wish me luck. I mean, I get to come back. That's the good news of this. It's a fake trip, but, yeah. No Mercury game as a plus. Never. And what's that lady's dad doing there? Does he go alone every game?
B
That's what I was saying. What he.
A
If she didn't go, he's lying to his wife.
B
No, his wife would have to go.
A
He's lying to his wife, so the.
B
Wife got to watch the baby.
A
Okay, this might be the most ultimate dude ever. He has figured out the greatest affair pattern I've ever seen in my life. Or he married the dumbest broad out there. Well, she's saying, I'm not going to that crap. Well, I really love basketball. You know me. I know, I know. So I bought season tickets to the Mercury, knowing that no one's ever gonna say, how they doing? Did you go to the game last night? Did you see that play? He's never gonna answer a question, so he disappears on Mercury home game nights, does whatever he wants with whomever he wants, and occasionally just has to, you know, grab somebody and go with and say, see? Yeah, I really go. Nobody's watching the games on. He can't get caught doing anything bad. I would venture to guess he's having a gay affair. This is the best way to get away with anything. Buy Mercury tickets and ask your family if they want to go. They'll say no every time. Well, I'm going, even if I have to go by myself. Fine. Idiot. Who's the idiot? As he drives off to his whore's house. Yeah, they got. I got three hours to kill. I think I'm in a Mercury game. They believe that? I know. It's crazy.
B
The problem is he's courtside, so, you know you don't.
A
No, you don't. No one watches it. He's in.
B
But I'm. No one televised.
A
You're right.
B
No one watch it.
A
They could televise it. They could have it, live in your house and no one would notice. But she's buying it. That's why I'm saying she's the dumbest broth. But again, the risk she runs is not buying it. And she's got to prove him right by going to one of those games. I'd rather be in the middle of an affair.
B
She's got five of them.
A
Yeah, that wife of his hopes he's having an affair so she doesn't get trapped in one of these Mercury Games. I thought you were having an affair. This whole time you've been going to Mercury Games? Yes. You son of a bitch. I thought you had a whore on the side. Everything was fine. Nope. Incredible. Now, that guy. Kudos to him. Men have been trying to figure out ways to make their wives not pay attention to him two or three hours a day for years. And that dude came up with the ultimate plan. Pull this pin and give it to somebody. That's a grenade of. I don't want to do it. So, anyway, I'm gonna leave tonight. Where are you going? Your Mercury game? Uh, no. I'm having an affair. Oh, I bet you're going to that Mercury game, aren't you? People are gonna talk about us. It's great. That dude's got it and all he had to do was go see. Tell your mother we went to the game together. This is great. Mom would rather watch a baby than go to the Mercury game. This dude's in. I don't know who these people are, but I want to shake that man's hand.
B
It's a noon start.
A
Yeah, gotta get there at noon. That's a strange Wednesday time. I know. Anyway, check it out on TV if you want. I'm not going to look for you. All right. I'll see you at 5. He comes back all tired. That Mercury game really wore you out. You have no idea. I need to take a. Take a sitz bath. If you haven't had some salt, my legs are on fire. No, we were cheering pretty hard. I was up and down and up and down. And then all you have to do is say, I watched the Mercury game. Oh, yeah. I didn't see you once. Oh, we were down in that club. Oh. Anyway, it wouldn't be hard. I mean, there's not that many people there. This is genius. I don't know who this man is, but today, when I give him his crown after I buy it at Mo Money Pond, I'm sure they've got a crown over there. That man is brilliant. And then his daughter tags along with him one time and comes back, mom, if you ever worried about dad being and having an affair, you're wrong. I actually went. He goes to these things. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm there. You go to a few of them. You hobnob with the people for her, for the mom.
B
It's like, oh, thank you for going.
A
Yeah. And here's the other thing. The lesbians that sit by him don't want to get to know the dude in the front row. They hate him like he. He's nothing. I mean, it's almost Ashley Madison. They should market it that way. Guys looking for a way to get out. Nobody's ever going to look for you. Buy Mercury season tickets. Not a soul will ever know you're there. I mean, you can even tell them, here's where I'm sitting. Here's where I am. Look for me on tv. They're not going to turn on that game. Nobody. It wasn't somebody saying a ballplayer or whatever saying to bang the fatties on the road because nobody. Mark Grace. Yep. You can't get coldplayed a Mercury game. He'd probably just throw both fingers in the air that were just. And just start making out with his squish there. And it's like, well, don't worry about it. No one's going to see this. And the only people who did are a bunch of lesbians who aren't at my house anyway. This is great, Ray Allen. I could bang you at center court and it would make espn. And even when they say tonight at a Mercury game, they would just turn off espn, no one would see it. It's like being invisible. This guy's genius, Brady. Brilliant. And he gets out of babysitting kids. Oh, my God. I don't know who this marketing. He's a madman. And I'm gonna see him. I'm gonna Larry David him, too. You're the mer guy, huh? Oh, yeah. No. I got season tickets. I love what you're doing. Excellent work. I know. I know exactly what's going on.
B
I got a joke for you.
A
You're not. You're not going to any Mercury games. I know what you're doing. You're. You're. I just want to meet the lady you're doing it with. That's all. I don't know what you're talking about, sir? Wait. Come on. We know what you're doing. Pretty. Pretty brilliant.
B
Even goes on the road game.
A
He said you had to do another roadie. Well, I'm not going. Come on, honey. Please? Never. All right, I'll go alone. This marriage is in big trouble. Cause of you. Genius. Second best thing. Unless you're like having an affair with like a, you know, Ice Target or something like that. Them Rising games wouldn't be a bad idea either. Get on that deal. Front row seats to the Rising. Who's with me? Oh, God. Tom. I don't want to do this. All right. I'll go alone. Never ever. And all you have to do is ask your phone. Who won the Rising game? Rising tied with the Salt Lake FC one one. And every time you come home, it's like as another tie. You sit through all those games, they're all tied. Yeah, it was a soccer thing. It's 1 1. It's a draw.
B
Nil. Nil.
A
Actually your phone would say. Who cares? Hey, your phone. Be like, are you sure? Are you sure? Yes. Be sure. You want to go to this website. I don't know. I need to know.
B
You're getting a lot of texts from Phoenix Rising.
A
Tons of them. They're big on their fan base. They treat us right. Why does the Rising send you nudes? I don't know.
B
You're going to dinner.
A
It's a different sport. It's European. Excellent work, dude. That. I see some Jesse Smollet in that guy's life. That's pretty good stuff, man. And we talked about that with Skyler Thompson. The Steelers wander around Dublin 3 in the morning. They had walkthroughs early in the morning on Saturday. I knew that from the Steelers schedule that I followed that I keep an eye on. So Saturday when they got they were Dublin Friday and they've got to play Friday night. And then they had to get up really early as kind of a punishment, say. All right. If you guys are going to dick around here, you got to be to bed at like nine. Angel just got jet lagged. So we got a meeting at 5am the next day here Saturday. And then Skyler was wandering around Saturday into Sunday. So it's technically Sunday morning at 3am again. So maybe it was just time. Time was off or whatever. But if you think about it, 3am In Ireland, it's happy hour. It was only like 11 at night in Pittsburgh or something. It's like five hours, four hours, something like that. So it wasn't like he Was wanting. He's wandering the strange streets of a major city in the middle of the night and then got jumped. There's a little Jussie Smollett there too. What was a dude, most guys named Smith Skyler wandering around the middle of a night of a major city trolling for I think so he's a stealer. But I still know his name is Skyler. And Skylers don't wander around doing things that are on the up and up. They wander around looking for D. That's a Skyler move right there. You don't have a whole lot of Skylers going. Yeah, bunch of chicks waiting for me. All right, Skyler, back of the car. Anyway, sounded like he resisted a little bit. Skyler, they said he's. Oh, he got. He got beat up. Wasn't about resisting. It's like dudes just jumped. Yeah, Skyler didn't.
B
I think he confronted him.
A
Yeah. Hi, my name's Skyler. Do you guys suck? What?
B
For cash.
A
The hell are you talking about? For Irish. We fight for cash and then we. He didn't want to be a bottom. No, his ass kicked. That's right. You guys are all like a little bunch of Conor McGregor's. You know what? Skyler about had it with you. I think we take care of him. My old boxing trainer Ray used to tell me that they would hear an American accent and they'd be like, all right, follow him home.
B
Want to pick up some quick.
A
Find some quick money is the guy to do it with. And they'd, you know, follow him into bathrooms and whatever. Where are you from? We're from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, usa. Oh yeah, that sounds like a nice place. Got a lot of money over there. Well, we're Americans. We always. Okay, let's kill Skyler in the bathroom. You don't wander around Dublin at three in the morning unless you're up to no good. Get to your room, Skyler.
B
Couldn't sleep.
A
Just. It was the time change and I was lagged. All these little pale faced midgets wandering around. I just thought it was adorable. Got me pale face midget one more time. I'm gonna take your outer wallet at 6:21. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? 5859 800. While I contemplate whether or not to buy Aces gear or Fever gear and try to. I'll buy a Sophie Cunningham shirt. She plays for them fevers. I don't know if she's still playing. She's been injured every time I think.
B
She'S out for the season.
A
Is she out too? The whole season. I see her in street clothes all the time, dancing and stuff, doing a bunch of commercials. Then I turn it. You can still do commercials and not be injured though.
B
That's true. There's enough time.
A
I did a commercial last week with Doug Hopkins on Wednesday. It aired yesterday. It took me about eight minutes. We did four. It's not hard. If you can read, you can do a commercial. It's not that tough. So Sophie. And Sophie don't even try in her commercial. She's just in a pair of Lululemon's in the tv.
B
You're fine.
A
Yeah, you look fine. Put. Just comb your hair and you're good. Did I get those lines right? Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You look good. I don't even know what she's like student loan debt or something. I don't even know what commercial she's doing. It's let's get that wake up song. Five eight, five nine, eight hundred. We'll scream it together. It's 98K video. Wake up. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erected.
Episode: 09-29-25 – NFL Announces Bad Bunny For Super Bowl Halftime Show Making Us Feel Our Age – Mercury Advance To WNBA Finals And We Think WNBA Games Might Be Perfect For A Marital Cheating Scenario
Date: September 29, 2025
Hosts: John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo
This episode of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness dives into generational reactions to the Super Bowl halftime show announcement—Bad Bunny—and how it underlines the NFL’s evolving audience strategy. The hosts reflect on football culture clashes, humorously scrutinize the logic behind halftime artist choices, and detour into how Mercury WNBA games could offer cover for parental escape attempts (or even marital cheating). The discussion is lively, irreverent, and packed with the show’s signature sarcasm and observational humor.

Holmberg and crew blend playful ribbing, sarcasm, and self-deprecating humor, with occasional biting comments about pop culture and their own generational obsolescence. There’s a recurring theme of aging out of cultural centrality—especially in the context of music and sport.
