And I just found something out. The guy emailed me and he goes, I missed the 9 o'. Clock. Where is it? Too late. Yeah, 9 o' clock's too late. Fitz will start it again at 2 o'. Clock. You can take our money, take it in the app big app contest we're doing. You can go on our application or you can go to our website, 98kupd.com and web stream us get a chance to win a thousand bucks a week. So I've been thinking, every hour we're doing these words and then at the end of the day, pull from each word a qualifier. Oh, no, no. Everyone who enters every hour is in the drawing. Oh, nice. So if you do it all nine times today, that's nine entries a day.
C
Beautiful.
B
So it's not just one out of 44. Sounds great. Yeah, it's one out of all of you. Which really means we're trying to boost these app numbers for the Bobs and we're only giving a thousand bucks away at the end of the Pretty kind of. That's weak really, but still. Let the Bob's know to put it. Put 10 grand on this. We're gonna. If we're going to force your hand to play our jump rope game, just put at least a bigger tariff on it. Although I'd be very happy winning $1,000. That's nice. I didn't know it was for. And that's pretty good. So you want to stay on this thing. This is a good trick. This is a good radio listening trick. Nine times today. You can stick with us. And then Fitz later in the day and get qualified. Each hour you have to listen at the top of the hour. Around the top of the hour. Just stay here all day and do it on speakers. We talked about that earlier. Knock it out. And then. And then at the end of the week we pull one. So that's insane. You just keep firing away. So a guy just emailed me. Ivan just said I missed it. I listened all, but I missed it. Like you're all right. If you missed one, you're all right. You're just going to do eight in a day rather than nine. Well, today seven, and then tomorrow there'll be nine more chances the next day. That's pretty great. Take it in the app. Nice work, everybody. Get on the app and get. Get all registered up in that thing. We'll figure it out. By the end of the week everybody's going to be. This is going to be just a well oiled machine everywhere but right here where I will never be good at time. Ian bags coming in later this week. He's a blabber mouth. You think we're going to be able to hit this thing on time? We'll have him give it out maybe. Hopefully the word's can love it. He would. Yeah. I'm ready. We're changing it. Oh yeah, love it. I don't think you've ever the way we know him, he just likes a word, like giving out a word. Oh, he'll pretty shaking his head like I told him. I'm gonna give him lasagna. That's what I'm saying. He won't know what we're talking about. Will you give this word? I'm so glad you did this to me. I love it. I love this random word. I love it by the way as much as word, catch, catch word or his crutches. Oh yeah, yours is.
C
That's what I'm saying.
B
That's what I'm saying. Ian bag the way I know him. Love to give a word to the people most going who the hell is Ian bad? You don't know. I'm like, I know that guy likes a word. Well, maybe I'd love to. That's what you hear. I'd love to. That'll be great. Little Canadian accent. Fantastic. Then the word is boot horn. Call it horn as in tug your anyway but get right to it. So that's pretty cool. I didn't know that. So at the end of the week, one of you gets a call and you just get a thousand bucks. We're not gonna. Cause I even asked him like larry, who's the one responsible for calling all these people? Qualifying somebody once an hour and he goes, we don't. Everyone who enters is in multiple multiple times. So keep it up, tell a friend, get your family members involved. The more you get, the more you know they can split it with other people. That's a pretty good deal. So this is really taking it in the app right there. It's time for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by friends@reactdefense.com the home of tactical black self defense training. You went in on this deal. You want it right away. Get in great shape. Get those abs. Tripp just came in, said I'm going to start working out again. Again. He says, we all laughed. Let's get Tripp out there, do a little self Defense. I'd like to see that. Hold my coffee. It'll be a pretty fun thing to see. But anybody doesn't matter your age or your current condition. If you want to get in good shape a check that box. If you want to start, you know, being a little safer around these streets, boom, check that box. And it does not matter what your current physical condition is. Even Brady, who's going through his thing right now, you walk around every day. What if some guy decides to make Brady market Circle K. You can't say, hey, I just had a surgery. I'm not supposed to lift heavy things or move too fast. They're not going to care. That's going to make you a bigger target, what I'm saying. So you know what? That's what I'm saying. You take a swing and you put one through the guy because it's all you got. It's not going to last a lifetime, these fights. Usually about eight seconds. With somebody on the streets that wants a piece of you, you don't want anything to do with that. Learn how to not only de escalate the issues, but in the worst case scenarios, figure out what you've got to make sure that thing ends before it begins. When somebody wants to be weird around you, probably won't happen to you, but if it did, at least you'd be prepared. And that's always good.

A new study suggests that the rising number of gun scenes and movies and TV shows maybe linked to the rising firearm related murders.
B
No. There we go. Did you ever used to watch westerns? Knock it off. It's because people are goofy now. That's all it is. It has nothing to do with tv, you know, Although gun smoke, watching Ed Gein. And I challenge anyone who's watched the Ed Green Gein thing not to hear Zoolander when he talks. It makes it funny. So you'll. You'll see what I'm talking about when he gets going Ed Zoolander him up a little bit and kind of gets funny. But watch the trailer man. That skin suit some fun in Ed Gain. They're handling it really cool the way they're. I haven't gotten through all of it. They're the way that they're navigating, how they tell the story, you know, about him. Is it true to the story so far? Yes, but there's a lot of avenues. I didn't expect them to take as far as Hitchcock and like Nazis and stuff. Which he was fascinated with that. Ed Gein was very fascinated with one. They do get into this one particular part of Nazism. But he was, he was always kind of didn't know that the image imagery of the Holocaust was a huge catalyst of that. Like, he was fascinated by that and he made it, he normalized it. But yeah, you kind of get into the. The game thing and it is Zoolander. Psycho is based off of Ed Gein. And they do a scene in the second episode where they show the. Basically show the psycho shower scene. And the truth of the matter was people went into labor watching that. Women did. People threw up, passed out, ran out of the studio crying, or the theater lost their minds. And Megan even said to me, she goes, man, compared to what we see now, she goes, we have kind of gotten used to this stuff.
C
Oh yeah.
B
And it's very true that we've gotten used to it. But wouldn't that mean we're less likely to do that? It doesn't normalize it to where we're like, that big deal, I'll do it too. I think it makes us realize, oh, it's very possible because prior to that there were monster movies and alien movies. Everything was always scary. And books that used to write about murders and monsters. And so we've always kind of prayed.
C
They definitely have gotten more detailed.
B
Well, they've had the ability to like, visually we've had the ability to get more detailed to help you and allow.
C
From, you know, like on the scenes where it's just. Back in the day, Psycho was just chocolate syrup now.
B
Yeah, but you wouldn't have known that because it was black and white.
C
Right.
B
So he, he would have used something more blood, like had the black and white not shown the chocolate consistency. Strawberry syrup. Yeah. The reason he used it was because it, it gooed up nicely in the drain and it looked perfect in black and white. You couldn't tell. But yeah, we did get used to it, but it just. The imagery just helps our imaginations not do as much work sometimes.
C
That makes it even.
B
No, your imagination's ten times worse. But weirdos are going to be weirdos. But they always say that. It's like gun violence is caused by tv. If anything, the people who were first introduced to it back in the 40s and 50s when TV showed everybody shooting everybody, those, those are the people that would have lost it first. They just thought the whole place had gone crazy.
C
Where to? Celebrity Death. Ian Watkins, the lost profits lead singer. He's a creepo that got arrested and I think it was 2012.
B
Yeah.
C
He pleaded guilty to 13 charges, including trying to rape a baby sexually.
B
One year old.
C
Touching a one year old. That guy. Yep. Encouraging a fan to abuse her child and making child pornography. He was serving a 29 year sentence.
B
I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did. Yeah, because from 13 to 25, you figure a dude, once word gets out in jail that he tried to touch a one. I know it's all bad. Like Brett said that off theory is it's all bad. But seven and one is horrible. But one is just unimaginably horrible. Seven is like level two of unimaginably horrible. The dude should have been taken out immediately. What is a Lost Profit song? Was the one. We played one for a while. Did we? Yeah, we did. I remember this one.
C
This was the big transmission.
B
Was Last Train Home was, I think the last thing. And the band ended.
A
Yeah, apparently once. From what I read. Once he got, you know, got thrown in there. The band pretty much wrote on their site saying the band is disbanded. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Signed by everybody but him.
B
We'll move on. You can't call it the same thing either. It's not like your lead singer left the band. Well, let's celebrate that. Now. Now those folks in Chandler can say it. That proves there's Jesus. Not really. They should have killed him like at the trial.
A
Yeah, there's no reason send him.
B
There's no reason to try to even have a date where he's. We think he's better in 29 years. Should have just offed him right there. That dude is. That's. Talk about a monster. That's disgusting. Also, Diane Keaton died over the weekend. It's a strange one. Kind of popped up out of nowhere. And the guy from the Moody Blues and a Joan Jet drummer died. And don't worry, Night of the Singing Dead will not feature Knights in White Satin or that terrible Duck. That Joan Jett song. Bad reputation. She's awful. I never got the Joan Jet thing. Crimson and Clover cover. Like all of them. Like the first one. But that's true. All of her songs are covers. Never got the Joan Jett thing. Not hot. Not that good. And her songs were someone else's anyway. There you go. Is that it?
C
That's it.
B
He's all done. Brady's gonna be at a Bullfrog Spas any second. Wow. Surprising.
A
Check in from there already.
B
You know what? I'm there right now. Brady. Hey, Kersh Blanc. He's there again, everybody, if you want to go. He's always there, just waiting. Look for the green circular spinning orb in the middle of their parking lot. He could shoot out of that at any moment. It's the Bullfrog Leap, we call it. That's it. Larry's coming up next. He's gonna explain even more of how you can take it in the app. Fitz will get you going at 2:00'.
A
Clock.
B

Keep qualifying end of the week, thousand bucks in your hands. Start again next week. We'll do it again. All of this in an effort to A, buy your love, and B, get our bobs off our ass about using that app. It's perfect. Please help us. We're done. Larry's next. Have yourselves a great Monday. We'll see you tomorrow. Right here in the morning Sickness. Most powerful rocket in your station. It's out of control now. 98 Kupda.
Holmberg's Morning Sickness – Arizona’s #1 Morning Radio Show
Episode: Entertainment Drill – MON – Lost Prophets Singer Killed In Prison
Date: October 13, 2025
On this episode of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness, John Holmberg and his crew—Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo—kick off the week with their signature blend of humor, irreverence, and banter. The Entertainment Drill segment discusses a study linking gun scenes in media to real-life violence, deep dives into the legacy and crimes of Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins (who was killed in prison), and remembers Diane Keaton, the Joan Jett drummer, and the Moody Blues member who also passed. The hosts debate the impact of violent imagery, the media’s role in society, and the fine line between true crime and entertainment.

The episode is classic Holmberg—irreverent, brutally honest, occasionally crass, but always sharp and unfiltered. The hosts dissect serious news about celebrity deaths and true crime with a mix of black humor and frankness, providing both information and perspective. Their take on violence in media is grounded in skepticism and generational context, while their coverage of Watkins’ death underscores zero tolerance for his crimes.
