Holmberg’s Morning Sickness – October 15, 2025

Episode Theme:
A whirlwind of irreverent banter, today’s show covers listener stories about unruly kids, sports fan superstitions, a hilarious (and cringeworthy) re-telling of Brady’s infamous “Bread” concert with his uncle, and the crew’s take on Kim Kardashian’s new “Skims” thongs with pubic hair patches. As always, the tone is sarcastic, edgy, and bawdy, with brutal honesty and wild tangents.

• Superstition Debate:
  • Holmberg rails about sports jinxes: never talk about a streak or assume a win, invoking Yogi Berra’s famous “It ain’t over till it’s over.”
  • Quote:
    • Holmberg (13:13): “We don’t talk about the Nevers and the Streaks... you have absolutely blown it now.”

4. Revisiting Brady’s Bread Concert & Uncle Mike (16:33–25:24)

• Product News: Kim Kardashian’s Skims releases a thong with faux pubic hair—sells out immediately.

  • Disgust and disbelief; riff on the modern insanity of products, women’s clothing trends, and how quickly people line up for novelty.
  • Quote:
    • Toledo (26:10): “It’s got this thin, tiny thing, and...the front is pubic hair. So when you put your underwear on, it looks like you’ve got extra bush.”

  • Toledo (30:06): “Women don’t talk about that enough... puppies love whatever is being sneezed out of some lady...”
• Philosophy on Novelty Products:
  • It’s a “vagina toupee” (merkin), possibly a Halloween joke, but clearly filling a bizarre consumer demand.
  • Jeff (31:45): “She could have made 50 of them. They sold out, now people think it’s in demand.”

6. “Hairy Bush” AI Song (32:11–33:50)

• Bit: Crew plays and mocks an AI-generated “hairy bush” novelty song—raunchy lyrics, intentionally over-the-top.
• Quote:
