Date: October 15, 2025
Podcast: Holmberg's Morning Sickness (98KUPD, Arizona)
Hosts: John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo

This episode humorously dissects the bizarre trends and behaviors of today’s young generation—namely their collective obsession with AI video creation, inside jokes like "6-7," and the generational disconnect about internet and social media behaviors. The hosts also share their trademark sharply comedic stories, tackle a listener’s scandalous email, and roast everything from parenting to customer service delays.

Main Discussion Points

1. The Rise of the "6-7" Generation and Their AI Content

[00:44–16:13]

• John reflects on how he’s been critical of young people but admits awe at their inventive (and cruelly funny) AI-generated videos: “The second your little pricks got hold of AI, the first thing they did was beat up handicap people, tease fat people and make hellcat videos. Hilarious. Just.” – John ([02:04])
• The mystery and meaning behind “6-7” as a generational catchphrase:
  • The hosts note the prevalence of “6-7” as a watermark or meme within youth-created videos.
  • They observe that kids repeat it without knowing its origin, likening it to mindless groupthink or “mono-thought society” inspired by TikTok, referencing Orwell’s 1984.
  • “Sheep in line and they're worse than they've ever been. But they're making great AI.” – John ([04:19])
  • The likely origin (police code for “dead body”) and the meaningless repetition by kids.
• Satirical concern over youth culture becoming even more conformist, just following trends set by others or algorithms: “If I don't, I am not in line. If I don't, I am not one of them. Six, seven, six, seven. It's scary, but they're making great fat joke videos...” – John ([06:00])
• The hosts plot to ruin the phrase by making it uncool ("It's up to us to wreck it… once pop-pop starts saying 6, 7 to people, it's over." – John [06:51]).

Notable Quotes

• “Are you not entertained? Oh, my God, am I ever—put Stephen Hawking in more slap fights!” – John ([02:57])
• "All your children are to me are just little pieces of Instagram that walk around and show us something publicly that's not really who you really are." – John ([02:34])
• “They’re sheep in line…worse than they’ve ever been. But they’re making great AI.” – John ([04:19])
• “We have to make this uncool. Yeah, Brady, it’s up to you.” – John ([15:02])

2. Parenting, Technology, and the “Illusion” of Good Kids

[12:29–16:13]

• The eternal tension between parents believing in their "good kids" and the hosts’ skepticism:
  • Brady admits he and his wife don’t thoroughly check Kirby’s phone: “She’s handed [her phone] to me and… I’ve looked through some stuff which she’ll allow you to see, but…like a parent going through and let’s take a look at what you’re hiding here. She’s hiding something. She’s a teenage girl. She’s hiding something.” – John and Brady ([12:44])
  • Implication that every kid is hiding something online; parents just don’t want to know.
  • Comments on the new UK push to ban smacking children and its cultural effects.
• The “brain rot” of today’s youth driven by time on devices and AI-powered meme content.

Notable Quotes

• “Don’t wander around saying at all ever again: ‘My kid is not a bully and doesn’t see color and he’s really smart.’” – John ([14:09])
• “They don’t want to know. And that’s the problem. Exactly.” – John and Bret ([13:59])
• “If you’ve got a kid that says six-seven, you’ve got one of them. You got one of them that’s making those videos.” – John ([06:47])

3. Generational Gags and Roasting the Past

[06:00–10:09, 15:10–16:12]

• The crew compares current AI meme trends to older fads:
  • Nostalgia for “the African anteater dance in Can’t Buy Me Love” – cool trends now replaced by instantaneous, mindless digital mass trends.
  • Amusement (and horror) at how kids now repurpose icons from their parents’ generation in absurd, irreverent AI videos (e.g., Bob Ross, Mr. Rogers).

Notable Quotes

• “They also took our stuff…Bob Ross…Mr. Rogers…they absolutely nuked it.” – John ([15:15])

4. Internet Outage & Customer Service Nightmares

[18:09–22:24]

• John recounts the aftermath of a storm at his rental property, with cable lines down and the hassle of customer service:
  • John’s frustration at being told to wait nine days for repairs: “What world are you living in that anyone would say, that sounds great. I'll go without TV and Internet for nine days. I'd shrivel up and die.” ([21:05])
  • Humorous exchange about imaginary service upgrades and Discover Card perks.

Notable Quotes

• “I'd rather have a guy say, you can't eat for nine days than take away the Internet.” – John ([21:50])

5. Listener Email: "Bruises on My Wife's Thighs – Mountain Biking or Whoring?"

[22:24–35:47]

• Emailer “Giannis” asks if thigh bruises are a normal result of mountain biking or a sign his wife is cheating.
  • The hosts riff on the likelihood: significant bruising on thighs alone is highly suspect.
  • Only massive falls or unusual riding positions would result in such injuries—otherwise, the cause is likely less innocent.
  • John jokes, “If you have a bunch of bruises on your thighs, let me introduce you to your new best friend, Keyshawn, because that’s what's going on at your place.” ([23:35])
  • The hosts improvise a drawn-out, ludicrous radio soap opera scenario involving “Rico,” “Keyshawn,” and puns about “riding” and “cream pies.”
  • Accepting photo submissions (with a caveat: no “big fatty thighs” shots, please).
  • Consensus: multiple bruises on thighs point away from basic biking and toward more salacious activities.

Notable Quotes

• "Is it from biking? No. Is she a whore? Likely. She's a whore." – John ([28:44])
• “Don’t take her word for it is what I’m saying.” – John ([28:33])
• “If she’s not coming back going, man, I had a hell of a crash and the bike tangled up and I got banged around… then you’d be like, yeah, handprints on her ass.” – John ([25:36])

6. Signature Banter, Insults & Radio Gags

Throughout

• The crew’s irreverence, sarcasm, and their self-awareness about ruffling feathers.
• Several riffs on the futility of arguing with kids, the inevitable parental denial, and advice on “ruining” youth trends by making them uncool.
• Signature signoffs and teases for the next segment.

Tone and Style

The show remains true to its brand: sarcastic, crass, quick-witted, and unsparingly blunt. John leads most of the irreverent humor, with the rest of the crew chiming in with stories, banter, and one-liners. They poke fun at themselves, their generation, today’s kids, clueless parents, and anything else in their view.

Summary for New Listeners

This episode is a prime example of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness at its best: rapid-fire wit, playful generational warfare, and the ability to riff endlessly (and shamelessly) on almost any topic. Whether marveling at the dark creativity of the “idiot” youth and their AI abominations or breaking down an incredulous email about marital trust and “biking bruises,” the crew brings equal parts mockery and (reluctant) admiration.

Listeners unfamiliar with the show will get a crash course in the hosts’ chemistry, their take-no-prisoners humor, and their unique approach to dissecting both personal and cultural absurdities.
