You were laughing like a hyena when he said it.
John Holmberg
What the hell is wrong with you? Flying through the 9 o' clock hour. You got three more minutes to put the word win in for the 9 o' clock code and take it in the app. Then Fitz is going to come back here at 2 o' clock and start doing it all over again. So a couple more minutes get win if you haven't done it yet on the app and knock that silly. I say knock it silly. Good luck to all of you. Winners will be announced someday. Welcome times. Now I got them in my head. I used to have to run public affairs programs for koy, the jazz station Coyote, another urban station that Brett loved so much. Kiss 12 through to the rhythm of the city. I was the voice of that station. Somehow occasionally I was on that radio station. I had numerous clients and Brady would sell a lot of bridal fair and diapers and baby shoes to that st. Loud music.
Doug Hopkins
One venue, Chars has the blues.
John Holmberg
And there was A guy we had who was his amazingly kind man. I used to have to do this tape for him. And it was brand new in radio. His name was George Dean. And George did Phoenix Urban League. I still don't know what that is. I don't think I was ever invited, to be honest. But he'd come in, he goes, hello, John. We had a record today, like, hi, George, ready to go? Oh, I'm always ready to go. And this was like 1997, 6. And George would grab the newspaper and open it directly to the weather. And you'd hear that, hey, welcome to Valley Urban Times. I'm George Dean, head of the Phoenix Urban League. Let's take a look at the weather. And he'd open it up, he goes, today is going to be 80 degrees. I mean, a nice night tonight gonna be about 62 tomorrow. Expect more of that beautiful day and by the time Sunday rolls around. Now, keep in mind, he was taping this on a Wednesday and it would air Sunday morning at 6. So he did the weather from Wednesday to Sunday even though all those days were already way past him. And we never told him that that was something he should stop doing. It took up like the first 11 minutes of the Valley's urban urban times, as he called it. Welcome, Urban times. Well, Colin and I, my friend Colin, I still can't walk into a place that has the word welcome on the door without looking at each other and go, wacom. Welcome, Colin. Welcome, Tom. Oh, he been times. He was the nicest person ever. But he gave the weather report for days that had already happened. So it was super accurate for the most part. It wasn't like a review. Let's take a look at the weather. Here was having this past week, here was the risk. And we ran into this a couple of times on Wednesday. It might have been nice and they might have been projecting nice days ahead. But sometimes, as we all know in Arizona, there's a surprise. So he would say, Friday going to be about 85 degrees of heat coming back and be a nice day. Friday, come in. Well, it wasn't. Friday was like 68 and it was pouring hail and it was a nightmare. It was terrifying. Like, winter weather came rolling in early and. But then on Sunday, Friday was a nice day. Friday gonna be beautiful. And I don't know why he gave that weather report. We never stopped him ever, for years. Nicest person I've. I think it was because he was so nice he might have gotten upset. If we're like, george, what do you do that weather for? 11 minutes. It airs on Sunday. You're given the weather for the week. That was already. Nobody understands. I guess my show's not very good then. I should quit. No, no, no. George, he only had weather to talk about. He was so nice. I don't. There's no way he's still with us. He was an older man, but man, oh man, do I miss doing those public affairs. And I used to have to run that show's tape all the way down the hall to run it on Koi and then get it on Kiss 1230. There he is. There's my man. Is he still around?
It looks like it.
All right. G.E. one of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. Raised to run his show in the Sunday morning at 4:30 and 5. Back and forth, switching tapes at other stations. And then I just skipped Kiss 1230, the rhythm of the City, because it was again, like I said, it was six in the morning on a Sunday. Nobody was listening to R and B. Just going to enjoy some quiet here while John runs around trying to get the tapes of the Irving League straight. George Dean says it's gonna be 65 yesterday. And he was right. Nailed it. George is excellent at yesterday's weather. Today, John's still running up and down the hall like a madman, but he seems to be ignoring Kiss 1230, the rhythm of the City, for some reason. I think he assumes you're all still asleep. Well, Lou Rawls doesn't. He's about to sing to you and your lady while you snore right through it. You never find Post it. Post as long that needs to be a billboard.
Doug Hopkins
Yesterday's weather today.
John Holmberg
Weather today. George Dean will give you yesterday's weather today. Maybe George wasn't old. Maybe he just seemed old to me. But he was, man, he was. I, I, he would never remember me, but I would, I would love to have like just a moment with his email here just so he would go, of course I remember you, Jimmy. All right, close enough.
Happy birthday.
No, that's the other guy. Happy birthday, Jimmy.
Doug Hopkins
Hate when this show goes on.
John Holmberg
Political rants. I know. Libtard mega freaks. Anyway, it's time now for the hot releases. Got to do them quick because I wouldn't shut up. Brett's faulty. Reminded me of Sorry how I used. And I did. Maybe it was bigotry, Brett, that I would skip 12:30 because I'm like, no one's going to notice at 6 in the morning if I screw the tapes up on that one. But Coyote and Boy Koi noticed if. If pat mcmahon's God hour ran one minute late, that phone lit up.
Well, that was lunchtime to them. I mean, six in the morning, it's.
Pat mcmahon and this is the God hour. And the worst thing about pat McMahon's God hour, two tapes, half hour, half hour.
It's like frampton comes alive double album transition.
We'll be back with more God hour in less than eight seconds. And my hands were just speeding through it. And then there was another one where a preacher just went on after pat McMahon for 30 minutes and yelled at homer simpson. He was so. He was so mad at the simpsons. His whole show was like, welcome. I forget religious freedoms. Homer simpson on Sunday said something that I think just destroys the family fabric. And I'm like, well, he's mad at homer again. Oh, with his doze and his strangulations of his. Boy, is this really where society is going to go with the homer simpsons of the world screaming out dough every time they blow up the kitchen oven? I don't think that is the direction we choose to be.
Doug Hopkins
Homer Simpsons.
John Holmberg
Homer Simpsons. I was tired of it. Yes. I did not care for that episode. I liked the first three seasons. Santa's little help always makes me laugh. He was so pissed at the simpsons. I would sit and listen to that guy. Anyway, it's the hot releases are brought to you by our friends@newacunit.com you can save thousands, save time, buy online.

It doesn't look too bad.
Doug Hopkins
There's a.
John Holmberg
It's a good idea. It's sort of what Fargo did where they took the ideas of what the Coen brothers have done and incorporated into a show. You don't like it much down here. Welcome to Derry. And that's on what?

Another author is out with her latest, Anne Rice's Talamasca, the secret order.

Latest addition to the immortal universe and follows up on the groundwork laid in. Interview with The Vampire, Season 2. The series focuses on the titular secret organization that tracks supernatural creatures across the globe and stars Nicholas Denton as an aspiring lawyer who suddenly finds himself becoming Talamaska's new recruit. So, immortal CIA, I guess this one debuts on Netflix and I think it might be on Apple or it was produced by them. This is a house of dynamite. This is Kathryn Bigelow's latest movie.
John Holmberg
Keeps the world straight. She did the bomb. Heart Locker. They see how prepared we are when.
Doug Hopkins
A single unattributed missile is launched at the United States. A race begins to determine who is responsible and how to respond.
John Holmberg
We'd know in seconds.
Doug Hopkins
Well, that's the point of this. Like, they don't know exactly who the perpetrator is. Even though it came from. From Russia or Eastern Asia.

John Holmberg
Terror's not like this.

Hosts: John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo
This segment of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness centers on the crew’s weekly "Hot Releases" feature: the latest new games, TV shows, and music—peppered with trademark banter, nostalgic radio stories, and irreverent humor. Highlights include playful commentary on simulators, drops of new and anticipated entertainment, and a raucous round of their recurring musical guessing games.
John Holmberg opens with memories of running public affairs programming for various Arizona radio stations in the late '90s, sharing comedic tales of incongruous scheduling and quirky hosts:
“He gave the weather report for days that had already happened. So it was super accurate for the most part... George is excellent at yesterday’s weather.” – John Holmberg (04:41)
Classic moments:
“Yesterday’s weather today. George Dean will give you yesterday’s weather today.” – Doug Hopkins (06:10)
“It’s just you power-washing... there’s like a satisfaction of how clean everything is in your filthy room.” – John Holmberg (08:42)
“Breaking news: You're in a psychotically annoying relationship.” – (10:00)
“It’s kind of an amalgamation of all Stephen King’s stuff... It’s got Shawshank, Cujo, the cemetery, Christine roll up...” – John Holmberg (11:33)
“He just gave ‘em the thumbs up and said, take my ideas and go nuts.” – John Holmberg (12:11)
“So, immortal CIA, I guess.” – Doug Hopkins (12:59)
“A single unattributed missile is launched at the United States. A race begins to determine who is responsible...” – Doug Hopkins (13:38)
“Is this real? I hate how they always make the people who do this for a living scared when the missiles come in.” – John Holmberg (14:09)
“What do they call that? Toxic masculinity... Too much testosterone.” – John Holmberg (15:13)
“I want more of these nuts in my ears.” – John Holmberg (16:00)
John presents an AI-generated rap song in a ‘70s style. The panel struggles to identify it, misfiring guesses from Eminem to Snoop Dogg, before landing on Digital Underground.
“This is awesome. It works. This is a Name is Humpty, pronounced with a Humpty-Y. Ladies know how I like...” – John Holmberg (18:02)
“I’m getting to where I’m liking the AI world more than my own. It’s scary.” – John Holmberg (18:04)
Quick listen to Eazy-E’s “Country Boyz in the Hood”, a sanitized version, and discussions on what to play for their producer Dale (“he won’t catch that one”).
“You just literally hose dirt off of old buildings... It just gets a little harder as you advance.” – John Holmberg (09:05)
“‘Welcome to Derry’. Kind of an amalgamation of all Stephen King’s stuff... It’s got the dog, Cujo. It’s got the cemetery...” – John Holmberg (11:33)
“I want more of these nuts in my ears.” – John Holmberg (16:00)
“I’m getting to where I’m liking the AI world more than my own. It’s scary.” – John Holmberg (18:04)
“Hate when this show goes on political rants. I know. Libtard mega freaks.” – Doug Hopkins (06:34)
Holmberg’s Morning Sickness remains a lively pop culture roundtable, blending nostalgia with snark, and providing plenty of entertaining (and sometimes outrageous) insight into what’s new in games, TV, and music—along with running in-jokes and a love for absurdity. Suitable for fans looking for a quick, comedic guide to this week’s hottest releases, or anyone who just enjoys unfiltered morning radio camaraderie.
