Episode Summary: October 17, 2025
Title: Steelers Got Flacco'd By Bengals, Trump's Drug Boat Attack, and 18+ "No Kings" Marches in the Valley

---

Overview

In this episode, John Holmberg and the crew dive into a packed morning: breaking down the Steelers' shocking Thursday Night Football loss (“getting Flacco'd” by the Bengals), discussing Trump's military action against a Venezuelan drug boat, and riffing on the flood of upcoming “No Kings” marches around Arizona. As always, John's blend of humor, skepticism, and biting observation shine through, along with plenty of banter from Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Steelers "Got Flacco'd" by Bengals (01:02–07:12)

• John calls it: Steelers were upset by the Bengals, led by a “dead-eyed sociopath” Joe Flacco, confirming John’s prediction that the Steelers would get “Flacco’d.”
• Thursday Night Football curse: John breaks down the grim stats for road teams on Thursday nights, noting 83% fail to cover the spread and many underdogs win.

  “Road teams, Thursday night: 83% did not cover the spread… the trend continues.” — John (02:31)

• Banter & bets: The crew jokes about their bets, Fanduel picks, and the trend toward underdogs on Thursdays.
• Referee complaints: John rails against missed calls and the “zebras” favoring certain teams.

  “You dress like referees and evidently everything goes your way.” — John (03:39)

• Jamar Chase jokes: John notes how Chase “caught three more on the Steelers secondary while we were talking.”
• Dream sequence: John vividly describes a bizarre dream—Joe Flacco firing him from HMS—which turns into a surreal negotiation and wandering through a charity event.

  “It was so real, I wasn’t sure if Joe Flacco was now a member of Hubbard Broadcast… and I’d been Flacco’d again.” — John (09:39)

2. Trump’s Attack on Venezuelan Drug Boat ("Declassified" Night Vision Videos) (11:03–16:31)

• Infatuation with 'declassified' videos: John admits to enjoying watching US military night vision footage of these attacks, comparing it to playing Call of Duty.

  “Watching those Venezuelan boats get blowed up is just a joy for me that I can’t explain… It’s just such a video game, Call of Duty thing.” — John (11:51)

• Historical context: References past US interventions (like Reagan era) and the risks of collateral damage—“not all nuns are good,” jokes about the possibility of drug-running nuns.

  “And then you start wondering… did the nuns have cocaine? Because, you know, not all nuns are good.” — John (13:13)

• Backfire concern: The panel riffs on the PR disaster if survivors spin a “just fishermen” or “family with puppies” story.

  “Now you got two guys who are sitting there floating around, and like, that story they’re gonna come up with is gonna be, ‘there were nuns, there were sick kids, there were puppies…” — John (18:13)

• Skepticism: John wonders if survivor stories could be staged for propaganda.

3. “No Kings” Marches – Valley-Wide Protests & Marching Culture Satire (22:40–44:00)

• 18+ marches scheduled: The crew riff on the sheer number and locations of “No Kings” (anti-monarchy or anti-authoritarian) marches popping up all over Arizona.
• Satirical take: John finds the whole anti-monarchy protest redundant, since the mere ability to protest suggests there’s no actual king.

  “If we had a dictatorship with a king, you wouldn’t be allowed to have a no Kings March. The fact that you can means we’re still okay.” — John (22:41)

• Mocking logistics: Lengthy jokes about how every suburb wants its own march, challenging the commitment of “protesters” who won’t drive more than five miles.

  “If you have to have it close to your house, you don’t care.” — John (28:14)

• PF Chang’s protest: Hilariously points out the irony of marching against “kings” while starting at a Chinese restaurant ("emperor vibes") or finishing at Burger King.
• March hierarchy: Sarcastic discussion about how even leaderless marches still need someone to organize, which itself mirrors a monarchy.

  “No Kings March has to have a leader, ironically. And that dude has to be a strong, firm voice to keep these people in line…” — John (35:40)

• March fatigue: John vents about traffic jams caused by marches, comparing them to bike weeks and loud public events—humorous, relatable rants about Arizona life and “just wanting a peaceful lunch.”

  “I got Flaccoed last night, Corey, you don’t understand. I need free-flowing interstates. I need all the arteries of the city to be going in case I want some lunch.” — John (43:35)

• Listener callout: Addresses longtime listener “Corey” who threatens to stop listening over John’s traffic/march complaints—sparking a digression on hypocrisy and humor.

4. Royal Wealth Tangent & Other Humor (23:24–26:03)

• Brief discussion of King Charles’ net worth, monarchy's rebound, and why even “trouble” for royals still means incredible wealth.
• Light pokes at Scottsdale, Buckeye, and other AZ locales—“If you want to march but not drive to Phoenix, you don’t care that much.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• "I've been Flaccoed. Flaccoed two times. I gotta get that stupid book of words."
  — John, on both the football loss and his surreal dream (09:39)

• "Watching those Venezuelan boats get blowed up is just a joy for me... it’s such a video game, Call of Duty thing."
  — John (11:51)

• "Coke and nuns. Great band name... Or nun Coke. Nun Coke is pretty great."
  — John, riffing on the idea of nuns running cocaine as a smuggling ploy (13:37)

• “If you have to have it close to your house, you don’t care... I love protesting—but if it’s more than a 5 mile radius, I’m not doing it.”
  — John, lampooning local activism fatigue (28:14/32:38)

• "No Kings March has to have a leader, ironically. And that dude has to be a strong, firm voice to keep these people in line.”
  — John (35:40)

• "You're starting at PF Chang’s... You're ending at Burger King. You guys are making a lot of mistakes with your sponsors."
  — John (45:56)

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's just get. My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett, there's Toyota. The first word for the 6 o' clock hour is you. Good morning everybody. It's 5:45, but that's just the morning sickness. Yeah, put that. Yeah, take that in the app. We got flaccoed. I've been calling it for a week and a half. Somebody's getting flaccoed and it's probably going to be the Steelers and they got flaccoed. That dead eyed sociopath rolls out on the field with a so calm. Calm. He's got no human emotion. He's been that way for ages. But the good news is, as you know, when your team takes a punch in the trunks and. But you've been saying it the whole time like this game scares me to death. They're going to lose tonight. If anything's going to happen, tonight's the night they get flak out. Steelers 2 and 9 in the road games on a Thursday. Oh, and 6 against division rivals on a Thursday on the road. And look at the Thursday games if you want to gamble at all. Underdogs. Three weeks in a row the Giants beat the Eagles last week, what was the Jags beat the Chiefs. It's underdogs win Thursday nights and road teams struggle road to and it's even short trips. I mean Philly to New York. I mean the Jacksonville Kansas City one was kind of like all right, you give him a little bit of that short week, big travel. Pittsburgh to Cincinnci. It is a strange there was a stat and I don't know if it's holding true still. But before we had all the hand gambling with our phones.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

83% of teams on Thursday night on the road did not cover the spread. And there was another like ridiculous stat when the Thursday games first started that it was like 66% of the road teams lost by seven or more. It was weird. And a lot of times the road team is the, the stronger team and it was, it's just remarkable. But the trend continues. So following trends, that's what Vegas does. And following trends was pretty good. The good news is Brady, yesterday when we picked our fanduel picks very wisely and I put up no fight at all. Took the Bengals plus five and a half. Smart. Covered. Not only that. Covered won the game. My, my quarter of the four was big. Darnell Washington. Matt Washington gets a touchdown. He got that. So we're two on ours.

[Brett]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

Well on our way to a big two thousand dollar win of Brett's Bears and Dale's dip stickery.

[Brett]

The tallest seems the Dales right between the two. I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I don't know. We'll see.

[Brady]

Well, against Commander Skins in Dallas.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Commander's in Dallas. And he picked the Commanders.

[Brady]

Yeah, that's a, that's gonna be a shooting match.

[John Holmberg]

But the Commander's coming off a loss. It's going to be tough. But again, there's another stat. Monday, Monday road teams the next week struggle on. You know, if you're, if you're a Monday team and you travel and you got. That's a short week for them to traveling on a short week. It seems to screw these guys up. They're so fragile. But oh my. Yeah, that was, that was disappointing last night watching the zebras running up and down the field. You know, you dress like referees and evidently everything kind of goes your way. It's cold. Oh, you got them all ridiculous Y And Jamar Chase just caught another ball. I don't know if you guys are paying attention, but while we were talking, Jamar Chase got three more on the Steelers secondary which was facing the wrong way. Evidently it was rough. And then, you know, you do find a little joy occasionally when you look up and you see, oh boy, what's going to happen? What is going on at the Toledo household now that the, the Blue Jays beat him again. Now it's two to two. He came in this morning, goes, I know, I know. You know, he's, he's flaccoing himself, going in there buying World Series tickets for a team that's never been there before. Just for the deal. You wait. You wait.

[Brady]

That's coming from John. You know, the guy that looks for deals.

[Brett]

That's right.

[John Holmberg]

My people look for deals. But it is a. Oof. The sec. I mean, what did I do right before he bought those tickets? I was just teasing him. I'm like, you're up to nothing. Absolutely nothing can go wrong here. And he's like, shut up. And he just. And then he goes and buys tear. I'm like, you just did that to yourself. I was kidding. So we'll see about that one. Yeah, he got. You get flaccoed and then you flacco yourself. I like making that a verb. I've been flaccoed. But yeah, if you're a. If you're a gambling man, take a look at the next Thursday game. I don't even know what it is. And start considering the team you don't expect to win. To at very least cover the spread at the home team.

[Brett]

They ran a couple of promos on it. I can't even remember for next Thursday.

[John Holmberg]

The Patriots. I don't remember who it is.

[Brady]

I don't find out here.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it was a. At the very least, it was a fun game for a bit. Even though it's so flawed all the way down, no defense and. But yeah, it was right down to it. It was good stuff.

[Brett]

Gamblers delight.

[John Holmberg]

Well, unless you had the under. I don't know what the over under on that game was, but I know it wasn't 64. No. Yeah. It had to be like, Kevin Ray was at my house last night. Was it like 45? I'm like, that's gotta be about where. I'd even say somewhere between 36, 37 and 45. I would have never expected Vikings at Chargers next Thursday. That's a big travel. I would take the Chargers in that just straight up at this point, even if they're, you know.

[Brady]

You know, three and two Vikings and four and two Chargers.

[John Holmberg]

So it's on a short. And it depends on where they are this week, too, but Vikings are. Yeah, you know what was crazy about that? That one interception on the sideline last night. Watching that. His left knee hit as his hand. His right knee looks like it hit, but if you go that one angle and they didn't show it twice. His right knee never hits. I'm like, I'm not sure they got that right. Like, it was a great play, but I'm like, I'm not sure they got that right. His knees were opposite And I saw it looks like it drags went in.

[Brett]

But I thought on top of that, I wasn't sure if you really had full possession.

[John Holmberg]

I'm. I'm. I hate that. That was so weird. But I was watching that, and they said one angle. I'm like, his right knee's not down. His left knee goes down, but that's after his hand hits. I'm like, I think. I think. All right, I guess they're professionals.

[Brady]

But both Thursday games next week are at home. Vikings are in. Minnesota Chargers in Minnesota for. For next Thursday's game. So this week they're both.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, they're at home Sunday. Oh, I see. Okay. So they're both at home, and then they travel. So the Vikings are. Chargers have that. They don't have to move for two weeks. And they got a team coming in from halfway across the country. Place your bets today. Yeah, like Devin just said, Toledo's gonna be cucking the World Series. I like that. Gonna be watching it from some. Somebody else banging his team. I want the Mariners to get in, but, boy, did he throw that big fat jinx on it. Anyway, what are you gonna do? Sports. It wrecks you. I got 10 days to be miserable because I had a dream. I told Brady I had the most vivid dream. This is how involved I am in this nonsense. As I had this dream last night, I went to, like, deep sleep, and I walked down the hallway here at work, and I looked into Tripp's office, and there's the. The owner of the place is a lady. She's in there. Tripp Reeb is in there. And who's sitting at Tripp's desk? Joe Flacco, Baltimore Zone. And I'm like, what's he doing here? And, Trip, come on in for a second, and I gotta talk to you. Like, what? Joe has decided that we're gonna let you go. And I'm like, good. I don't wanna be in a building with that anyway. And I feel good. And he's mad, too. So then the whole dream, like, it was all of my sleep. The whole dream was sitting, negotiating buyouts and, like, what they owed me contractually. Like, this isn't what dreams are.

[Brett]

Then it moved to a restaurant, right?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Then we went to a restaurant. You and I were at a restaurant discussing our next. Like, what are we gonna do? Like, we gotta screw, guys. I'm like, joe Flacco, how dare you bring that bull to Muran in here. And it was like. It felt like about a three hour. And then, you know, the weirdest part of the dream was we kept having to drive from the restaurant we went to back here. And the restaurant was. I don't know what. And as we drive, we had to go through this parking garage and then buy this police service station that was having a charity event where people were picking up trash. And, like, they had little tiny bathroom garbage bags, and they were just putting one thing in it and then zipping it up and walking it all the way back. It was so frustrating to watch. Like, why don't you guys get bigger bags? There's trash everywhere. And I'd watch somebody just put one thing in and you get out and start helping. And I'm like, tell them to use bigger bags. Come back. Start negotiating with Tripp again. I woke up so vivid, so real, that when I kind of woke up about 2:30, and I'm like, am I employed? Did I get fired? What happened? Like, it was so real. I wasn't sure if Joe Flacco was now a member of the Hubbard broadcast team. And I'd been flaccoed again. Stay off the drug. So close to bedtime, you know, I must have taken some. It's that Tylenol my mom ate. It was just. Yeah, I've been flaccoed. Flaccoed two times. I gotta get that stupid book of words. I'll be right back.

[Brett]

Look at that thing is. It really hasn't gone down so much, but I guess.

[John Holmberg]

But you think about.

[Brett]

I know, but eight, right? I guess. Does Fitz go out of the book, too?

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah. Shannon's here this week, so there should.

[Brett]

Be eight or nine pages.

[John Holmberg]

It's nine a day, and. And it's for like a hundred weeks.

[Brett]

Still going through November.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Today's the 17th. Okay.

[Brady]

Never stops.

[John Holmberg]

We'll get up there. We'll get that word for you in a couple of minutes. Get ready for that. We have that going. The other thing, I'll say, you know what I've enjoyed the most in the last month, and political or otherwise, I know everybody makes everything political. You can't win these conversations. So I don't know who's on the other side. I mean, this will backfire eventually, but I get great joy out of watching any video that the government releases that just for no reason at all, says declassified on it. I feel like I'm like, yeah, you're on the inside. It's just such a video game, Call of Duty thing. It was a declassified video. I'm like. I like the word declassified because I feel Like I'm in. But watching those Venezuelan boats get blowed up is just a joy for me that I can't explain. Like I get goosebumps. I like I. And you just sit and see that night vision boat doing nothing and then just lights and it seems like it won't stop exploding. They have survivors. The last one had a couple survivors. So now the joy. Yeah, a couple of dudes made it and they're going to talk. And I guarantee you the plan is if you get caught, you were just out fishing. I don't know what was going on here. Like why we got blown up. We don't know. People don't realize that we've done this several times. This is not a Trump thing.

[John Holmberg]

Holmberg's morning sickness. Ronald Reagan used to blow planes out of the sky pretty regularly. Like he used military jets to knock down planes running drugs. And they just, they. They knew. Sort of like this is a. But the, the. The warning was we better stop doing this because eventually we're going to screw it up. And they shot down a plane of nuns, which is real. Like, and then you start wondering did the nuns have cocaine? Like was it a plan to have nuns do this? Because you know, not all nuns are good.

[Brett]

They're not going to take this plane down, right?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Load it with nuns.

[Brett]

Coke.

[John Holmberg]

Coke and nuns. Great band name.

[Brady]

It's not bad.

[John Holmberg]

Coke and nuns. Or nun Coke. Nun Coke is pretty great. I like nun Coke. Coke from a nun. It's anywhere you can throw Coke and a nun together. Just put the. Anyway, but. So it will backfire on us and it might have. And you leave survivors on the boat. You're blowing up, and their story is.

[March Participant]

Going to be like, oh, we're just fishermen enjoying. And I don't know why they.

[John Holmberg]

And it's going to look like we killed, like a family that was just out trying to fish.

[Brady]

Who's got them?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know.

[Brady]

Do we have them or.

[John Holmberg]

That's a great question.

[Brady]

I'm going to say it's going to be Epstein.

[John Holmberg]

You think that he's going to Epstein up?

[Brady]

You never know.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

We are bakers on the wall.

[John Holmberg]

We are nothing.

[Hooters Promo Voice]

Flour.

[John Holmberg]

They're just.

[March Participant]

We are transporting flour to Florida. It is illegal, but it's the flower trade.

[John Holmberg]

I don't care. It's awesome. Those videos are incredibly cool because, you know. And I will say that, you know, I am against this argument, but I am desensitized to night vision explosions because Call of Duty and games like that have made me kind of think it's neat. And then I forget sometimes that it's real unclassified. But then the videos come out and it's just. And the boats must be huge because they're just. I mean, they just keep blowing up. It's not like a speedboat. They just keep knocking them out of the sky. But then now they've got to officially have announced that there are survivors among the crew. And the official who spoke on the condition of anonymity didn't offer any additional details about what happened. You might be right, Brett. They might have to. These dudes might succumb to their injuries, but they blew up the boat and two dudes are like. And somebody picked him up. And I don't know if it was us or how we found out.

[Brady]

It's over.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, if we got them, there wouldn't have been survivors. That's the thing, that they confirmed survivors, which means they're gonna go back, start telling their tale. It won't be real. It won't be true and that. But even then, our side's gonna start going, nope, we gotta start making stuff up, too.

[Brett]

Start the AI videos.

[John Holmberg]

And then you got a boatload of nuns on, you know, like a Like a ranger bass boat shooting across the Gulf of America or whatever they're doing and trying to get up to Florida with their nunflower. This is going to end ugly. But right now I'm enjoying it a lot. And especially on a day like today. Right. I don't mind watching enemies of America get blown out of the sky and night vision. I think that's awesome. I'm in a mood. But yeah, people are going to now it's going to turn into, like, there's going to be marches and there's going to be all sorts of weird stuff of, you know, humane treatment of drugs people. And I don't understand it. I got no issues with it. I, I definitely makes me think of.

[Brett]

World War II where they were having the cruise ships going over there.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, my grandpa was on the Queen Mary. My grandpa was a military guy on the Queen Mary as they zigzagged up the Atlantic trying to bait U boats on a passenger boat.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And if you, you know, the Queen Mary, like, how come they had guns on here? And everybody's like, that was a different time. No, it was very intentional. We were running weapons and dangerous people from one side to the other. It was. And we're doing it on, you know, on a, on a Carnival cruise of the day. It was weird. But, yeah, we've, we've done, you know, we've done some weird stuff. Again, as much as I enjoy these unclassified videos, the, the backfiring it started and we gotta, we gotta, you know, it's like playing ball in the house when you start blowing stuff up for fun. Which is essentially what this is with. Under the guise of, well, they're bad guys, so it's okay. Like, yeah, that's true. You're gonna knock some nuns into the water and the next thing you know, it's a bad PR thing. Play ball in the house before something breaks. Have the wherewithal to quit. But essentially we're playing ball in the house. And here we go. We got two dudes that swam back and went, they blew us up. All right, here. What we tell them you were fishing with your family. See, see, see, you had, all of them were out there. You had two. Two, in fact. Your wife. Yes. There was a quinceanera, a wedding, and your wife gave birth on the boat and there was brand new infant. You had triplets, three brand new infants on your super boat of flower delivery. No, no, no. None of that actually happened. There were no triplets. You blew up my family.

[Brett]

17 yank a wish.

[John Holmberg]

It Was a make a wish exchange program. And we had many, many crippled kids giving birth to more crippled kids, all while delivering delicious flour to nations that are flower poor.

[Brett]

Then you have people doing the videos, looking at. Look at all the sticks flying in, the explosion.

[John Holmberg]

Crutches, crutches and. And walkers.

[Brett]

You see there, there, there.

[John Holmberg]

And just titanium body parts floating around.

[March Participant]

I smear. That was his leg.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, no. They're making it all up. And Trump would have to defend it all. It's just eventually you got, like, the limit should have been like, we're gonna blow six up and we're gonna talk about it. From there on. You can't go until you screw it up. Now you got two guys who are sitting there floating around, and like, that story they're gonna come up with is gonna be, there were nuns, there were sick kids, there were puppies. We were doing a huge puppy delivery. And then just. Just amazing cute pictures of puppies everywhere. And we had the special drawings on a Venezuelan morning show to get sick kids on the boat to deliver the puppies to the orphanages of America. I don't believe that. I don't believe him. By the way, how the. Did they survive that? If you say it blows up, like, nine times. So my guess is also the skeptic in me says that they're like, all right, blow up another one of our boats. We'll play pretend somebody survived it and tell the tale. I don't know how anybody survives what we did there. The way it looked, there's no. So then the. The government said, all right, we've got two guys. We can. We'll mess them up, we'll dunk them in the drink, and we'll get them back to shore, and we'll pretend they survived this thing, even though they were nowhere near that boat. With the story of the puppies, the nuns, the sick kids, the crutches, the. The delivery to the orphanages, the. Yeah, it was sick orphans and puppies.

[Brett]

We'll bring those two survivors back, and we're gonna end up losing a couple of towns in Minnesota, burning down.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. And then everybody's like, you can't believe you blew up puppies and sick kids. It's like, I didn't do that. They're liars. Oh, now he's calling all Mexicans liars. Not even Mexican. I don't know what's happening. This is not good. Close enough.

[Brady]

They all speak.

[John Holmberg]

It's not good. They're all brown. I give you that. And I'm confused, but I Don't get it.

[Brett]

We're not gonna have enough National Guard.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my God. And you just know. It's like. Bring in Pete Hegseth. What is it? Sir? How the. Did they live? We're trying to figure that out, sir. I mean, you blew it up, like, 11 times. It's a bass boat.

[March Participant]

I don't think you did a good job here, Pete.

[John Holmberg]

Sir, we're trying to blow them up as we speak. They're on shore.

[March Participant]

I don't know if we can do that, but.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, go ahead. It's. It always backfires when you're having a good time with missiles. That's what I think. I'm a guy that believes missiles are fun until they're not. Like fireworks. You keep going until someone's hands come off. But you kind of know eventually, the more you light them, the greater the odds.

[Brady]

John Eaton hit us.

[John Holmberg]

What'd he say?

[Brady]

It's not night vision. It's infrared imagery.

[John Holmberg]

I love eating. I don't know why you got to do that. Gorillas don't eat meat. All right. Thank you. All right. That's for the jokes, but okay. Either way.

[Brett]

Those two guys were in a dinghy, fishing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Next to the boat.

[John Holmberg]

Look at the light in the sky. See?

[Brett]

See?

[John Holmberg]

See? I think I have something on my.

[Rakuten Announcer]

What?

[John Holmberg]

Blowed up, sir. Anyway, so that's not good. But I do enjoy watching that. All right, the word for six o' clock to start off on the promo codes. Gate. Go on the app, find the six o' clock promo code box, put in the word gate, and you're off and running to qualify yourself for a thousand bucks, which I believe today, someone will finally win. I don't know for sure if that's how it works, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works. So good luck to all of you. Gate is where? G, A, T, E. As in gate. You're a pinhead. If you're like. What you saying? Gate. I've spelled it. I've done everything. It's time for you to just understand that gate is the word today. That's it. That's how it works. So there you go. And everybody's got it. Yeah. And if you're. If you're. And if you're like me and you're all for the bombing of those things, then you also have to understand what it's. What it's coming to. And we get this. No Kings marches. Are we doing one here?

[Brady]

I believe so.

[John Holmberg]

Look, I don't understand this. To people who want to. If in fact, we had a dictatorship with a king. You wouldn't be allowed to have a no Kings March. So the fact that you're allowed to do it means that we're still okay.

[Brett]

Would they do it this weekend? Isn't there another.

[John Holmberg]

There's the Gay Pride. Yeah, no queens either, evidently.

[Brady]

11:00Am the no kings march.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, what an annoying group.

[Brett]

Is it gonna be a crossover?

[John Holmberg]

The weather this nice and you want to march around and scream about stuff that isn't happening.

[March Participant]

It could, though.

[John Holmberg]

I know, but I mean, come on. Everybody says that. Everybody thought Obama was going to try to be a king. I'm not seeing it.

[Brett]

Speaking of kings, the king of England.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. King Charles.

[Brett]

Yeah, King Charles. His net worth has gone. It's the most expensive, the most. He's the richest king.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, that would make sense.

[Brett]

Well, when he first took the office.

[John Holmberg]

Basically the office of king. Yeah.

[Brett]

When he took over the title.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

He. He wasn't anywhere near, what, quality investor. Yep.

[John Holmberg]

He's done well with his money. Pretty sure that the monarchy's doing all right. I'm glad you're keeping up with it, though.

[Brett]

And it really wasn't the value of the monarchy, you know, being maintained. They had the.

[John Holmberg]

Sure. It was in trouble for a little bit.

[Brett]

It wasn't. I don't think it was really in trouble, but it was a lot lower than it used to be.

[John Holmberg]

It's making something up. Yeah, we'll try to lower, but I'm pretty sure they've been comfortable.

[John Holmberg]

Holmberg's morning sickness. Yeah. In this day and age, of course, this king is the richest of all businesses.

[Brett]

Boom.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Business for kings. Kings tend to do very well. And occasionally, you know, their slip ups are somewhat tolerable, I would say.

[Brady]

Here's the map of the marches that.

[John Holmberg]

How many are we having? I don't know. A bunch. There's one. There's like 18 of them up there. Oh, gosh. And, you know, look, I'm fine with your marching and all that stuff. I just don't understand marching against, like, something that's not happening yet. Like. Yeah, but you don't do it yet. I'm like, I get it. I understand. But consolidate. It's nice out. I don't want to be at a patio and have a no Kings march. Wreck my day.

[Brett]

Scottsdale.

[Brady]

PF Chang's. Okay, PF Chang's Plaza in Scottsdale.

[John Holmberg]

Why is PF Chang's being punished? Like, they just want a normal day of restaurant going and you've got this weird protest. You're mucking up our good weather.

[Brady]

Well, Tempe's doing it nice. They're doing a food drive along with their no Kings.

[John Holmberg]

Nice. Okay, so long as it doesn't screw up traffic. That's all I ask. We've already got the gays messing things up on Central this weekend. Do I have to have no Kings to it? Can I go anywhere and enjoy this beautiful weather?

[Brett]

Baseline and Bell Vista.

[John Holmberg]

All these are no Kings marches, apparently. Jesus Christ. You know, the city's not. You could get to 15 minutes and march downtown. Just stick to one street. I'm fine with protests. I love them. I think it's great. It's American Queen Creek, too, but 18 and one in Maricopa? What do you people care? I mean, you need to focus on yourselves. You live in Maricopa, For Christ's sake.

[Brady]

AJ Too.

[Brett]

Wow.

[John Holmberg]

Quit worrying about what the federal government's doing and start paying attention to your own house. Jesus. I have no intention going to Goodyear. That's where the marches should be, out there.

[Brady]

The hell goes a Buckeye? Come on.

[John Holmberg]

Marching in Buckeye? I'd march to get the hell out of there. If you want to go to a march. And it has to be convenient to you. You don't care that much. Well, I'd march, but Phoenix is so far and they closed the freeways. Glendale slammed with Them.

[Brett]

Look at that. Yeah, it looks like a hot spot.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Glendale's got like seven or eight Sun City.

[Brady]

Who's marching in Sunset?

[John Holmberg]

I want to watch that one.

[Brett]

Oh, man, that's rolling.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that is a. That's golf carts decorated with.

[Brady]

No 9am that's like dinner for them. What the hell?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Yeah. They're going to catch their. Their evening nap at 10am so it's a quick one. That's a caravan. Yeah. No Kings Caravan.

[Brady]

Yeah. It looks like El Mirage is doing a surprise. Is doing it right with the caravan. I'm not marching. I'm riding in the car.

[John Holmberg]

It's not.

[Brett]

One of them is a no Kings bar hop.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Where's the poker run? Where's the no Kings poker? Let's get involved. Yeah, you stop at five places that don't want kings either and you get a card's got one that's a decent mall. What is it?

[Brett]

One above that? Or was that.

[John Holmberg]

There's one up in Carefree, north of. No, keep going north. Even further. Oh yeah, there is. Jesus Christ. If you have to have it close to your house, you don't care. I'd march, but I'm not leaving my streets. Geezer everywhere. There's one in Payson.

[Brady]

Camp Verde.

[John Holmberg]

Camp Verde just has a Pizza Hut and a Long John Silver.

[Brady]

Is that many people there?

[Brett]

Oh, yeah. Sedona.

[John Holmberg]

Sedona would be a nice march. I think the weather's. But what if you're going to Sedona this weekend for a romantic weekend and they're screwing up the already terrible traffic?

[Brady]

Two in Sedona.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Well, that's a.

[Brett]

You gotta have one along 89A.

[John Holmberg]

Well, they're screwing up. There's only two goddamn roads there and they're gonna mech them. Look, those hippies in Sedona are going to mess up everything. But they should have. You know what we should do if I was. If I was governor, we have a bridal path for ponies, a marching path for protests, and I don't care what side it is. I'm. I'm against mucking up traffic on either side. If you have to close a road to get your point across, people, you're just pissing everybody off. Back in 20, you know, 14, when everybody's like, Obama's going to do. We did it with Bush. We did. I'm old enough to know now. Nothing's ever different. Whoever's in power is going to use their power to become. Obama's going to run for a third term. He's going to use martial law and he's going to. No, he's not and he didn't. And then now Trump's a kid. Stop it. The fact that you're having a march against kings proves we don't have one. Because otherwise if I was the king, I'd just mow all these down. You're announcing where you're going to be and I just take those, those nun killing boat planes we got shooting down those druggies and just start knocking out my kings. That's a peaceful visibility event up there in Wickenburg, man.

[Brett]

It's going up.

[John Holmberg]

They're covering Nevada bullheads. Oh, it's all over the country.

[Brett]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

Too many shots on the map.

[Brady]

Too many marchers go to Tuba City to march.

[John Holmberg]

The weather is so damn nice. Don't, don't go by the Windsor, please. I want to, I want to have a nice lunch and beautiful place. Hard to park already. Joyride across the road, has a nice patio. You're mess that up. Come on, we're just all over the place.

[Brady]

Tucson's a hot spot too.

[John Holmberg]

I'm telling you man, it's beautiful outside. You're messing it up for people who just don't care.

[Brett]

Me, well, on the other side of it, they're looking at it, man, for a march weekend.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I gotta say that if I was gonna have a march it would be like let'.

[Brady]

Well, the gays are marching this weekend too.

[John Holmberg]

And the gays, the gays were wise because they picked June as a pride month. But nobody was thinking about Phoenix. So the gay Phoenix Phoenicians were like, not here it isn't.

[Brett]

That is a yes. Queens.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's yeah. Yeah. All queens. No kings march. Big bears. I don't know what they're going to. How many of those are there this week? And Jesus Christ, I can't leave the house.

[Brett]

It's like bike week zone is coming here.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, everybody thinks bike week is fun. I look at the no kings marches better because I don't like when 14 Harley Davidsons go. They always pick a nice month of weather and tool around in their loud ass bikes and blow by cafes and stuff. You're trying to just have a nice afternoon and people and people who like bikes, that's great. But stick to stick. Look, I say this because this is what my grandpa used to say. Stick to your own. That's all I'm saying. If you want to be in bikes, go to a bike place. And everybody likes bikes. Don't go tooling around and surprise People at lgo. Oh, these marchers. No, I'm in a mood. I got flat coat. You gotta understand, a man was flaccoed last night right there in front of his family. But yeah, these might. How many? 1819 marches. And just that every city should. Like, like just one. If, if. If you. If people of Goodyear want to march and you. But you don't want to drive to Phoenix, then you don't care that much.

[Brett]

Well, if each one of those dots has three to five people, still a march.

[John Holmberg]

Right? Right. I mean, how big can Buckeyes march be?

[March Participant]

I just didn't feel like driving all the way downtown for this. I got a lot to do. I gotta clean the house, I got some laundry. I just don't want kings in Buckeye.

[John Holmberg]

If I was in Buckeye, I'd be begging for change all the time. What can we do that's different?

[Brady]

How do I get the hell out of here?

[John Holmberg]

How do I get out of Buckeye? I would love to go to a march somewhere else. No offense, Buckeye, but you're way far away from all the good stuff.

[March Participant]

We don't like traveling. I love protesting and my heart is in it, but if it's more than a five mile radius, I'm not doing it.

[John Holmberg]

You just don't care that much.

[Brady]

It's kind of how I am.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's why. Look, I can. I can get fired up about just about anything. With our march. This weekend is in. We're going to Buckeye for that. I'm not going to that. I thought you were passionate about the cause. Yeah, but it's a Buckeye. I think. How far away Buckeye is?

[Brady]

I'm the same way with concerts.

[John Holmberg]

It's where exactly I'm good.

[Brady]

And that's something I want to go to.

[John Holmberg]

I say it to Brady all the time. Gilbert, you know, many good things I passed to go all the way to Gilbert. I'm going to stop along the way. Doug Hopkins had a golf thing. You want to golf with me? Like where? I don't know. Forever. From your house, Pines. I don't know what the place was called. It was. I'm like, where is it? And he goes, it's Riggs. And I'm like, I'm out. What do you mean? It's free. I'm like, riggs and what, 6am Riggs? I'm like, you know how many good golf courses I passed to drive to this to hang out with you? I'll see you at the Suns game. I'm not a traveling Man, I don't know that I'm that passionate about anything thing. Like, if there was a, you know, a march to say, I don't even know who there wouldn't be because nobody's against. But, like, all puppies have safety. Safety for puppies. We had a big problem. Safety for puppies problem. And they're like, we're going to march this weekend. I'm like, at the end, what happens? I don't know. I don't know what happens at the end of a march. You just stand there like, it's over. Did we do anything? And then you go home and you do it on a weekend when the government's closed. Like, I don't think this is. There's.

[Brett]

It's just pointless if you do it right. You have a band at the end.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that'd be nice. Like a marathon.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

At the end, there's a party. But I don't know how they end. It seems anticlimactic that you walk all the way down.

[March Participant]

No Kings won't tolerate it. No kings. We're here. We're queer.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know what you say.

[Brett]

What they do is they crown the best marcher of that.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, oh, you know, the king and queen. Ironically, they have a king of the no King.

[March Participant]

You're the most handsome marcher here. I think you're gonna win King of no Kings.

[Brett]

Is there a leader of this no Kings march?

[John Holmberg]

I am the king of the no Kings march. I wonder if there is a, like, an organizer who gets a little bit. I. Listen to me. Wait a minute. This is a group. No, no. Somebody's got to take charge of this thing. This no King's march is disorganized, and we need a single, solitary voice to express how we feel about our march.

[March Participant]

Isn't that the opposite of what we're trying to do?

[John Holmberg]

All right, Arrest that woman. Shut your mouth instead.

[Brett]

They aren't doing that. And it's everyone. It's chaos.

[John Holmberg]

I guarantee you in one of these 1820 marches in the.

[Brett]

We're going to march this way.

[John Holmberg]

There's one guy who's kind of a totalitarian about how this march is going to go, and that's the irony of how. Everybody shut up. I'm in charge of this march. And what we hate. Single voices, totalitarianism and monarchies. And that's what Trump's trying to quiet down. I hear you talking. I won't tolerate it.

[Brady]

Like Mark Randall at our you fest back in the day.

[Hooters Announcer]

All right, we're over here, and you Go over here.

[John Holmberg]

Your seats are over here. And you just walk by him like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brady]

Okay. I got you, pal.

[Brett]

I'm not sure. Ask the organizer.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, no. Kings March has to have a leader, ironically. And that dude has to be a strong, firm voice to keep these people in line. And I find it hysterical that they're just going to walk to a destination. And I like the ones that are PF Changs. Just walk around the block once, end up have one of them delicious lettuce wraps, and then go home. Some pot stickers. That sounds great. After a lack of King's. Martin.

[John Holmberg]

Ironically, you go to PF Chang's, which is Chinese food and is all about, like, emperor emperors and no human rights at all.

[March Participant]

We'll start at PF Chang's.

[John Holmberg]

There's a mistake right there.

[March Participant]

Well, it'll be great because they got great parking and then the food is fantastic and the Chinese decor, I love it. Anyway, we're doing a no Kings March. We're going to start it at a Chinese restaurant because we're morons.

[John Holmberg]

We'll break for high tea.

[March Participant]

We have high tea at noon. It's gonna be great. I'll wear my hat. It'll be like going to Wimbledon. Strawberries and cream at the end in honor of King Charles.

[John Holmberg]

I want to go down there and dress like, you know, the thing from Sherwood Forest, that lion in the big purple coat. What's up, folks? How you doing?

[March Participant]

We're gonna start at Burger King and we're.

[John Holmberg]

Wait, wait, what?

[March Participant]

We're starting burger. They have an ample parking lot. Burger King.

[Brett]

That is a great idea. If you could have four or five people just fully in armor. Knight's armor.

[John Holmberg]

None shall pass by order of King John. Who are you? I saw you at the Burger King, starting your no Kings march to the PF Changs. Your message is mixed. Who's in charge here? I am. So you are the king of the no Kings. Well, I don't like to call myself that, but yes.

[Brady]

Walking around the coconuts behind him, like in.

[March Participant]

Brave, Brave, Brave Sir Robin.

[John Holmberg]

Who are you who tries to march in my no Kings march? I am Arthur. Not King of the Britons.

[Brett]

Where are we meeting? In the Burger King parking lot.

[John Holmberg]

I brought a round table. We'll all sit and meet and talk about the no Kings move. We'll wait and we'll do it at night. It'll be. We'll call it Knights of the Round Table. It's just dumb because it's not going to do anything.

[March Participant]

You don't understand. It's a voice.

[John Holmberg]

It's a message. Now you're in Buckeye, you won't travel downtown. It's not that important to you. One big giant march where everybody goes to you. I'm like, there's. There's a march. That's how you do it. Like, I enjoy. Like, look, you can call it what it was, but those Black Lives Matter marches, they're eye catching, I'll say that. Those guys, they were. It was intimidating. They were getting some things broken. And then, you know, Jake Paul came, and all the white people ruined it. Chucking stuff at the Scottsdale Fashion Square. We're gonna have a problem here. Scottsdale Fashion Square, they rebuild it pretty good. Oh, they did a nice job. The piano shop getting looted was my favorite one because, I mean, you're not getting one of those. You might get one of the keyboards, but I don't think. The poor piano guy. I'll never forget, the next morning, they're interviewing him on the news. Like, why? Why the. If there's any time black and white gets along, it's a piano. Why did you do this? Like, it's a representation.

[Brady]

Ebony and ivory.

[John Holmberg]

But for God's sakes, it's the.

[March Participant]

The keys.

[John Holmberg]

They're in harmony. Why would you break the piano window? This is a. This is like a metaphor for everything you want. Yeah, sorry about that. We thought we could lift one of those things. They're heavy.

[Brett]

18 pianos on top of Hellcat, rolling.

[John Holmberg]

Around like the fabulous Baker Boys. Just people singing and dancing as they steal pianos. A good march, though, I gotta say. As marches go, that's probably one of the more memorable ones. Nel Kings march starting at PF Chang's. How dare you. There he is. That's my guy. This is what? I'm riding out there this weekend and doing this. You fight with the strength of many men, Sir.

[Hooters Promo Voice]

Nice.

[John Holmberg]

I am Arthur, King of the Britons. I love that knight.

[Brady]

Oh, he's great.

[John Holmberg]

I seek the finest and the bravest knights in the land to join me in my court at Camelot.

[Brady]

This is the parking lot of PF Changs.

[John Holmberg]

I'm doing this to all of them. I'm going dressed out like that too. Brady, grab your cup. You have proved yourself worthy. Will you join me? I gotta watch that tonight. We should set up a screen and just play the Holy Grail.

[Brett]

I love the squire.

[John Holmberg]

What? None shall pass. I have no quarrel with you, good Sir Knight, but I must cross this bridge. Then you shall die. I'm. I want to do that this weekend. I'm just gonna. I won't even say a word. I'm just gonna stand in the black outfit on the side.

[March Participant]

What's that?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he guards the Black Forest. It's great stuff. Anyway, good luck with your no Kings march, but I'm just not buying that it's gonna result in much of anything this guy says. Money sure has changed you, Homeberg, over the last 20 years. I've listened the whole time, but I'm done. Have a good life.

[March Participant]

You can march.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not against your march. I'm just saying don't muck up traffic. Now nothing about that's changed about me in my whole entire time. Corey, have some fun with it, for crying out loud. Worthy adversary. By the way, Corey, you're nothing but a stump. I've chopped off your arms. No, you didn't. It's a flesh wound. You listen to us for 20 years and this is why you quit. Cuz I don't like when traffic gets screwed up by Marchesa. I can tolerate the bigotry and making fun of the cripples, and I draw the line at you. No kinging my no king. I don't like your march. You're clogging up traffic. I don't like any marches. I've said that forever. But because I said the Black Lives movement was a pretty memorable one. I didn't say it was good. I just said it was memorable. They got stuff done and then Jake Paul ruined it. I didn't say it was for their cause. Seeing as marches go, that one was pretty effective. Not in a good way.

[Brett]

I don't know if Jake Paul ruined it.

[John Holmberg]

He ruined it.

[Brett]

It's more like a whitehead on there.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, well, it was a whitehead for sure. When they started to march by the Z Gallery and make noise, I'm like, this has lost its. This has lost its cause. Oh, you're gonna try to get some of that fluffy furniture that gays love. I don't know that you're really on point anymore. Sorry, Corey. Didn't mean to offend your delicate sensibilities. After 20 years of listening to this show, I didn't realize that me not liking traffic just, you know, maybe it was the bikes. I don't know.

[Brett]

I am done.

[John Holmberg]

I am done. I am done. You don't like the no Kings march? Yeah, I just. I just don't like any march. If it was a let's have kings march, I'd be just as upset. I got flaccoed last night. Corey, you don't understand. I need free flowing interstates. I need all the arteries of the city to be going in case I want some lunch.

[Brady]

It would be funny. Billy brings it up. If Trump shows up at one of those marches in a king's outfit, amazingly funny, just like he did at McDonald's.

[John Holmberg]

I'm here for the joke. Corey, come on. Money's changed me over 20 years. I've hated traffic since I was poor.

[Brett]

And it has. It does.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, completely. You know, I love being it can't help. I love having it. It's nice, but it'll change with less money.

[Brett]

Yeah, I change with more money.

[John Holmberg]

Hate traffic jams. I've hated them since I was like dead broke. And it may come from when I was broke because I remember looking at that needle on my jeep down on the E. Sitting there, not moving, going, what's going on? Oh, there's marchers.

[March Participant]

I'm gonna run out of gas.

[John Holmberg]

These ruining everything. Money's changed me, please. I hope so. Hang out poor people like you yelling at everything and being no fun when.

[Brett]

You didn't have money. You weren't much of a marcher.

[John Holmberg]

I wasn't marching. I like my weekends to be fun. I like them all to be fun. But I know you can't talk about any of that stuff with any sort of frivolity. He said on the radio, complaining like a true magatard. But yeah, he's not for either side. Joshua. I'm not for your side or their side and all. Kings march would make me mad. I don't like marches. I don't like. I said the bicyclists that run around with those loud motorcycles. I don't like them either. Most of them are, as you say, magatards.

[Brett]

You're not super fired up for bike week?

[John Holmberg]

Not at all.

[Brett]

Certain areas, you know it's gonna be.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, so loud traffic, so incredibly loud. He doesn't represent either side. No, I don't. Like I told you, I like when Trump blows up boats. But he's playing the fire. I think it's a dumb idea after a little while. I've covered all my bases here. You just get mad that your side feels a little bit hurt. I just don't like how many there are. And this guy's probably. I probably had a nerve because he's like, well, I was gonna march in that buckeye one. Cause it's the closest. And then it hurts you. Cause I said. Said you're not real serious about it. If you're just looking for convenient marches and you don't see the irony of starting it at PF Changs. I mean, go yourself, please. It has nothing to do with my money. That's just dumb. People don't like realists. They don't like people to point out the warts on their plan. You're starting at PF Changs. You're ending at Burger King. Okay.

[Brady]

Brady might sign up for that.

[John Holmberg]

That sounds like a Brady Marx to me.

[Brett]

Where's that one?

[Brady]

Ato's the seven brothers. He's in no time.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Brought to you by King Hawaiian Buns. Oh, don't do this. You guys are making a lot of mistakes with your sponsors. Got more people angry about it. Yeah, probably. There you go, Aiden. I'm part of the Alphabet group, but I'm with John. Traffic closures. I agree. Stop. We need. And I'm all for having, like, a marching path. Great.

[Brady]

Let's go to Kiwanis Park. March around the park.

[John Holmberg]

They did get hit by that tornado the other day. The bridal path is central. It's perfect. It's off to the side. Everybody's traffic. You know, you'd have to wait every once in a while for a lot of people crossing the road. But that. That doesn't. And Kanto Park's open, and Kanto's beautiful, and it's beautiful outside. Go to the park, and at the end, you've got a nice park to play in.

[Brett]

The Val Vista and baseline. Like in my area, maybe they're just marching the square.

[Brady]

Like the plot, the vague. And then just kind of walk around by age and everything.

[John Holmberg]

I like the idea that you're all about not bullying people and being fair and equal and you don't want kings. And then you called me a magatard, so. I mean, you throw a slur at me, mogator jump. Yeah, it is. You know what you're doing? You just use tard. Like if anybody says retard, you want them fired from their job. But you can use maga tard mean the exact same thing and then be the self righteous moral one. I don't want to hear it.

[Brett]

Maga tard, lib tard.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, all the tards.

[Brett]

But you're really a taint tard.

[John Holmberg]

Sure, I'm middle of the road tard and fully admit the tard part. But we all know what you're doing when you're tarred up. It's like relibertos. We know what's going on there. The Bertos is the key. Tart is the key. I know what you're doing. 20 years, I find that hysterical. 20 years listening to the show and now I'm out because you made fun of the no kings march for a second. I'm gonna be at PF Chang's this weekend celebrating freedom democracy at the Chinese restaurant. Hey, what'd you order on Temu the other day? Oh, I see you won't support any of them. It we're all hypocrites. Knock it off. Hilarious. Anyway, gate. That's the word for six o'. Clock. As you try to change your life with money too. Let's get a wake up song. 585-9800 a good one and we'll scream it together. It's 98 kup, wake up. It's out of control now. 98.
