10-21-25 - Is It Bigoted To Wonder Why Other Countries Don't Have Their Own Credit Cards Like Amex - Trip Asked John If He's Becoming Too Political On The Show - Watching The Show Perfect Neighbor You Feel For Both Sides In The End

Summary

Podcast Summary: Holmberg's Morning Sickness (Arizona) – October 21, 2025

Episode Theme
This episode centers around several recurring show themes: American cultural assumptions (especially about credit cards abroad), getting labeled as political (with a discussion about the show's supposed “liberal” or “MAGA” tilt), and a deep dive into the documentary “Good Neighbor,” exploring neighbor disputes and how society frames them. The tone is comedic, irreverent, and reflective, with the cast bantering about serious issues through their signature blend of sarcasm, social critique, and local flavor.

Key Discussion Points

1. American Credit Cards Abroad – “Are We Just That USA-Centric?”

(05:36 – 11:48)

• John Holmberg wonders out loud if other countries have their own “American Express” equivalent and reflects on his American-centric assumptions.
• The crew jokes about the idea of a “Mexican Express card” and “Panda Express card.”
• They learn about “JCB” and “UnionPay” as major Asian credit card brands.
• The segment playfully exposes how Americans often assume US brands are global defaults and pokes fun at national stereotypes.

Notable Quotes:

• “Do they have the Mexican Express card? Because I can’t carry all this money around. Mexican. Never leave someone else’s home without it.” – John Holmberg (05:36)
• “Is the United—am I so USA-centric that I assume the world just uses our credit cards?” – John Holmberg (06:07)
• “Panda Express card. More bamboo! You're a bamboo level instead of platinum.” – John Holmberg & Brett, after a string of jokes (08:05)

---

2. Listener Feedback & Sports Talk (World Series, Fan Emotions)

(01:40 – 05:36, intermittent)

• Listener emails spark discussions about baseball, specifically American vs. international teams in the World Series, and the emotional rollercoaster of being a sports fan.
• The hosts riff on local sports heartbreaks and offer tongue-in-cheek consolation to a listener whose marriage ended over football allegiances.

---

3. Becoming “Too Political”? Labels and Listener Perceptions

(16:09 – 27:33)

• John recounts receiving criticism from listeners on both the left and right, some accusing him of pushing a “liberal agenda,” others thinking he’s drifting toward MAGA territory.
• He shares an off-air conversation with producer Tripp, who wonders if John is “getting too political” and drifting from his middle-ground stance.
• They discuss how nearly every topic now gets interpreted as political, and how hosts get forced into labeled boxes despite their actual views.

Notable Quotes:

• “Every couple days, I'll get one. [Emailer says] ‘You're a liberal piece of crap’... and then someone else: ‘You're a magatard!’... It's real easy to hate both sides, which is what I do.” – John Holmberg (18:58)
• “Is there any kind of show—politics just sneaks in. Even a joke gets turned into a stance now.” – John Holmberg (21:14)
• “Right, left, doesn't matter. Fart jokes for the win.” – Brett (26:24)

---

4. Reflections on “Perfect Neighbor” / “Good Neighbor” Documentary

(28:06 – 52:54)

• The main segment: The team discusses the newly popular documentary “Good Neighbor,” which portrays a neighborhood conflict that spirals into murder.
• Holmberg draws parallels to classic tales (“To Kill A Mockingbird”), neighborhood dynamics, and the universality of having a “crazy” neighbor.
• They dissect how children antagonize a neighborhood outcast, parental responses, and the final, violent outcome.
• The discussion questions whether the conflict is truly about race, or more about ignored mental illness and everyday provocations.
• They criticize how media and viewers feel compelled to cast one side as wholly righteous and the other as wholly wicked.

Memorable Quotes & Moments:

• “I actually might side with the shooty lady up until the gun play.” – John Holmberg (38:19)
• “If you don’t know the crazy person in your neighborhood, it’s probably you.” – John Holmberg (35:56)
• “This is as old as time…what happened to us that we try to change the mind of the crazy person on the street?” – John Holmberg (40:48)
• “Sometimes you can watch something and go, oh, everybody in this is wrong.” – John Holmberg (51:37)

Segment Timestamps:

• Description of the doc & To Kill a Mockingbird parallels: 28:06 – 31:30
• Personal neighborhood stories & childhood antics: 31:30 – 38:19
• Documentary incident breakdown (confrontations, shooting): 38:19 – 46:19
• Analysis: Race vs. “Neighborhood crazy” & systemic pressures: 46:19 – 52:54

---

5. Societal Takeaways – Polarization and Responsibility

(44:21 – 52:54, woven throughout)

• The cast laments how rapidly situations become politically or racially polarized by viewers and communities.
• They reflect on “stand your ground” laws, the difficulty of acknowledging multiple parties’ mistakes, and the tendency to never see both sides as wrong.
• The value of self-awareness, personal responsibility, and simply leaving “crazy” folks alone—rather than pushing boundaries for fun or trying to “fix” them—emerges as a running lesson.

---

6. Comedy, Pop Culture, and Signature Callbacks

Throughout

• Regular callbacks to local legends, their own radio history, and childhood TV tropes.
• A string of neighborhood “crazy person” anecdotes, references to “walking the long way around the crazy house,” and neighbor avoidance strategies.
• Passing jokes about credit card stereotypes, “fart jokes for the win,” Pandora’s box of ring camera mischief, and tongue-in-cheek references to their own coverage (“next on Holmberg’s Morning Sickness”).

Table of Major Timestamps

| Segment | Time | Key Content | |---------------------------------------------|-------------|----------------------------------------------------------| | Credit card stereotypes, Panda Express bits | 05:36–11:48 | Jokes and real talk about American vs. non-US credit | | Political labeling & “in the middle” | 16:09–27:33 | Listeners, Tripp, and John debate show’s politics | | “Good Neighbor” Documentary analysis | 28:06–52:54 | Deep dive, personal stories, and documentary debrief | | Neighborhood “crazy” dynamics | 31:30–44:21 | Childhood tales, managing local conflict |

---

Closing Takeaways

• On American Centrism: Americans tend to assume the world runs on US brands and cultural norms, often overlooking global differences.
• On Identity and Media: Hosts can hardly escape political labeling, even when aiming for neutrality; the current climate equates nearly anything with politics, forcing sides.
• On Neighbor Dynamics: Neighborhood dispute patterns are universal; antagonizing the unstable rarely ends well, and everyone’s better off minding boundaries.
• On the Documentary: “Good Neighbor” is a window into everyday escalation, the futility of making everything about race or politics, and a reminder that “everyone in this is wrong” sometimes fits best.

Final Quote:
“What I am is a person who looks at everybody and goes, you’re all wrong.” – John Holmberg (54:36)

For Listeners:
If you haven’t caught this episode, expect sharp, irreverent social satire rooted in the real world—plus plenty of laughs, a touch of self-awareness, and the occasional sincere neighborly lesson.

[John Holmer]

You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? There you go. Thank you very much. Miles to nowhere. You can check their video out for make the Rise with the Sun. That's that song right there. They're pretty proud of it and they made a little video about it and it's on our Facebook page, I'm sure, and all that. We're not in it. They didn't ask us to be in it. They just did it and then said play it.

[Brett]

So there's little pictures of us that pop up in it.

[John Holmer]

Oh, are there?

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmer]

I see. They didn't ask our permission. They're getting sued. Says, hey, John, love the show. Seattle was up 2. Oh, and then they lost for the next five. Reminds me of the bad lieutenant betting on the next game that you think would be a lock. Thankfully, I'm not financially involved with that series. I believe I just heard a slap of heads on the executives that realized the World Series will take place between two teams that are not only across country from each other, but are in different countries that far away. Thanks for starting my days with laughter, John. I think baseball won this battle because the last thing they wanted was Seattle to take out. Toronto is a massive city. There's like eight, nine million people in Toronto. It's the Chicago. It's the biggest city in Canada. So as far as ratings go, I don't know how American ratings will be good because the Dodgers are in it. You get the Canadian dollar in there, anything international is going to be better. So I think Major League Baseball's pretty happy with this because Seattle is not. That's a regional team. Other than Toledo, nobody. And the good thing about Toledo right now is he can wander around in his Mariners gear and not run into any Blue Jays fans at all because they don't exist. They're just none of them. There you would be. And I don't want to hear from the one you're not going to. You run no risk of going to Total Wine to drown your sorrows and come and run into a bunch of Blue Jays fans just dancing this. It's not a thing. Now this one says, man, John, you hit it right on the money. I'm way too emotionally attached and invested in sports. I was thinking this past Cardinals loss on Sunday just crushed me. And it crushed more than even the Titans collapsed the week before. Then I started to think, why did it hurt more than that? It was a horrible loss. And then I just realized it's week after week of heartbreak adding up. Yeah, that's you've chosen to be a Cardinals fan. This guy Hawk makes a good point. For all you local folks, I'm thrilled the Mariners lost. That means the Diamondbacks won the trade. That's right. Eugenio Suarez, Josh Naylor, they were integral parts of the Mariners making the run. And in the end they're watching the World Series just like the Diamondbacks. Robert says. I was married for 16 years. I suspected my wife was having an affair. She was never a big sports fan, but then started watching Cardinals games and come to find out she was seeing a Maryvale Cardinal loving douchebag and ended up getting pregnant by him. Well, she's dating a guy in Maryvale. That was inevitable. And then he went and got milk and she never saw him again. I'm guessing.

[Brett]

Anyway, that hellcat was gone.

[John Holmer]

She ended up leaving me. I was at my lowest for sure. I prayed to the heavens above and said I won't kill myself as long as they stay together and the Cardinals never win a Super Bowl. Jinx or not, every single loss on a Sunday is a little Super Mini bowl to myself. True story. Yeah, so every. That's. That's putting a silver lining on a Miserable situation. Your wife banging some Cardinal fan, leaves you, has some Maryvale baby with him. And you know deep down, every Sunday at their house, they're miserable. And you're happy. That's getting it done. That's a win. I say congratulations. Happy for you. 7:00am we're going to have the code word for the promo code there at 7. It will be peso, P, E, S, O. And I looked it up. A thousand dollars translated into the Mexican peso is 18,400 pesos. That's insane. That's an incredibly terrible currency Mexico has down there. 1800 pesos is 100 bucks. That's insanity. You gotta figure out how to buy $100 worth of stuff. But $100 worth of stuff in Mexico is like billions to us.

[Brady]

500 bucks. You're gonna have 35 pounds of notes.

[John Holmer]

Yeah. I mean, if you. Jesus. Do they have the Mexican Express card? Because I can't carry all this money around. Mexican. Never leave someone else's home without it. They have an American one. I'm going to go get one. Do they have the Mexican Express card? I mean, they're American too, technically North American Express card. But I bet you they just use the American Express. Are there Mexican credit cards? I know there are Mexican credit cards. Of course. Are there prominent Mexican credit cards?

[Brett]

Of course not.

[John Holmer]

I'm. This is just dawning on me as I say it is the United. Am I so USA centric that I assume that the world just uses our credit cards?

[Brady]

That.

[John Holmer]

That they don't have their own Visa? Well, Visa is right.

[Brady]

And Master Card and American Express.

[John Holmer]

But is that in Europe? Do they look at that as American cards? And they've got their own. We don't know about. I don't. I think we're all too stupid to know.

[Brady]

Bank of Mexico.

[John Holmer]

Well, sure, that's what I'm saying. But I think cards that are bank backed. But I'm saying, is there a American Express in Canada?

[Brady]

Yeah, that version.

[John Holmer]

Nobody cares. I'm American. That's right. Brett's 100 right about that. Screw those other countries that can't figure out how to be like us. You heard it, Lee. Take it over, buddy. I do. I think I'm so kind of American that I never really thought that they don't have their own credit cards. Isn't that weird? I just assumed that those are the ones. Like even in Africa they probably just adds American Express or Visa or whatever. But that's. That's my American brain thinking that we're just everywhere. We are. I Mean we can use our cards there, but weird. You know, China's got its own credit card set set up. They probably don't even take American credit cards. But how come their cards don't work here? Because we're American, that's why. God damn it. That's exactly it.

[Brady]

It's all American Express, Visa, MasterCard. I know that just with their bank. I mean they don't have like in the. I'm looking up like Canadian.

[John Holmer]

Canada might not. But like your China has to have their own China Express card. They have to have like not necessarily called that.

[Brett]

Panda Express.

[John Holmer]

It's a Panda Express card. It's bigoted, hilarious.

[Brady]

I think the biggest card in Asia is jcb.

[John Holmer]

What's that? I'm not done with Panda Express yet. That was goddamn funny. Panda Express card. Never leave a home with that idea. Panda Express card. More bamboo. Let's you're a bamboo level instead of platinum. That's great stuff, the Panda Express card. And they think it's awesome. And then we just turned it into, you know, number seven, the orange chicken that tastes a little bit like Lysol. So they have one. You've been over there.

[Brady]

Jcb.

[John Holmer]

Yeah, I think. And that's the big card for them. That's. That's huge over there. I wonder why JCB wouldn't advertise here because, you know we're all over advertising in Europe and stuff with the American Express, Visa.

[Brady]

I think I've seen him advertise in Seattle Place. Of course. Yeah, the big Asian population.

[John Holmer]

They're being used right now for ropes. Hang themselves and kick the bucket out from under them. Anyway, that's an ad. Didn't even dawn on me there. But I know they use our. I know our cards are used. The guy says, John, did you just asked if they use our cards in other countries? Yeah, Mexican use our cards all the time. It's called identity theft. All right, that's mean. That's not the most used credit card. China's union pay and that's theirs. Yeah, yeah, I can imagine that. God, that makes me just so small minded that I just. It really does. Like I just said, oh, our credit cards. Yeah, but you're also right.

[Brady]

I mean we've got three or four here that are major brands worldwide.

[John Holmer]

Sure. But how come China or you know, I know China is probably a bad example, but somebody like Europe doesn't have one that they fire over with us all the time. I guess they've got that one Scottish bank occasionally that'll pop up, but that'll go under.

[Brady]

Yeah, but they'll put that under Visa and Master.

[John Holmer]

Yeah, it's a bank back thing with a Visa. You know, attachment. Interesting. I don't understand anything outside of this country and I don't care to. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And that's exactly right, Brad, because why? Oops. That's the wrong thing. Never mind. Sorry. That's because we're American. You want to use your Mexican express card, you can take an express train right back to Mexico. Although Panda Express was very funny. It's not welcome here in the state. That's true. The Panda Express. I have only a Panda Express to pay with. I'm impoverished. That's right, you're Chinese. Of course you're impoverished. That's what we think of you. Everybody's texting over Canadian south park references for Toledo. Watch it, potty. Who are you calling body pal? Oh, this one's Mexico. Who are you calling? Moosehead. We call Moose head PJ Canuck. I don't know what that means, but thank you for that. That's tons of people saying, hey, Toledo. Shut your face, Uncle. The uncle efforts are out. The Terence and Philip quotes are coming his way because Canada is in the thing and he's.

[Brett]

Oh, the Ho Chi Minh Express too. They have that. Is that Vietnamese card?

[John Holmer]

Okay. I was gonna say.

[Brett]

Now they're all coming through.

[John Holmer]

He's swinging it all.

[Brett]

No, no, no.

[Brady]

That was.

[Brett]

That was thrown to me.

[Brady]

So.

[John Holmer]

I guess Discover card is a low rent cousin from Europe. I didn't know that. Yeah, I just, I. That's kind of a weird. That's kind of an odd thing in my brain that I never really put together that. Of course they take all of our cards. Our cards are valuable. They no, probably don't even have them. It's like when you say that to people. And I honestly, this was on this show years ago when they said they had an airport in like the airport in Africa. And my brain just went to like some dirt field with a shack.

[Brett]

Oh.

[John Holmer]

And then they showed it on the thing and I'm like, that's a beautiful airport in Africa. And I'm like, well, that's my fault. That's me being indoctrinated into the belief that Africa is just a bunch of starving people running torches out there for.

[Brett]

Landing lights and stuff.

[John Holmer]

And they're afraid that the plane is from the gods. Like, I have no. Like, because in the. The gods must be crazy. The plane would go over and they'd praise it because they didn't know what it was. And then a bottle falls out of it and they, you know, it was a gift from God. That's how I saw the whole continent. Then you get a little older and you realize, wow, they really pushed that whole everywhere else sucks thing. And it's true, everywhere else does suck, but not as badly as I initially thought. Instead of PayPal, they used Payway. The Chinese jokes are hilarious. Good stuff. Seven o'. Clock. The is peso, and you can do it right now. If you go to the app and tap on that, take it in the app 7 o' clock box will be peso. P E, S O is how you spell peso. I wouldn't want to think about that too much either, but there you go. Yesterday we talked about Ozempic vulva for a second, and Ed downstairs said, I learned something today. Like, what's that? Ed? Not Ed Gein, because you think he's related, but he's not. He said, I learned about Ozempic vulva. Like, no kidding. He goes, isn't a day goes by I don't learn something from you? And I'm like, crack a book. This is not the place to do some work, get a hug. Yeah, but this guy says, my wife is taking Ozempic and she's down about 30 pounds. She wasn't huge, but it was going the wrong direction Anyway. To all the men who think after the weight loss your wife has on Ozempic will make them fun and sexual again, you're wrong. She now has a million new complaints about her body, including what I heard you talk about in the podcast about her vagina. That thing flat, deflated like an old football. Yuck. So weird. She wants to get mommy tucks and makeovers and all that. So if your wife's thinking about going on Ozempic and she's about 40 pounds overweight, say no, because it's gonna cost you about 70 grand. And fixing her after she's done the Ozempic made my wife look great in clothes, but naked, she looks like a wax figure standing by a heat lamp. My life is now more miserable than when she was fat. Naked. Awful Wife signed Stephen. Yeah, I've heard that. That is a. The rapid weight loss is not great for your skin elasticity and all that other stuff, but it's still, you know, it's better than the alternative. But if you're deflating vagina, which we found out about yesterday, I didn't know that at all. Not even a little bit. So if you're on the Ozempic There's.

[Brady]

A new one that Israeli researchers are using hypnosis based weight loss surgery. They get you on the table like you're getting the gastric bypass.

[John Holmer]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Or a bariatric surgery. And this doctor does this hypnosis. And so far out of like 964 patients, the average is they're losing 10% of their.

[John Holmer]

So are they knocking them out, cutting a hole in their stomach and then sewing them? Right.

[Brady]

No cutting.

[John Holmer]

Well, that's what I'm talking about.

[Brady]

They just, they walk them through that procedure like this is what's happening.

[John Holmer]

We would be doing. It's John Holberg here from the morning sickness. And it's time to talk about TV's Doug Hopkins of my home group and doughns dot com. I tell you about the house down the street from me that has had a for sale sign in the yard for three months now. In fact, it's the fourth different sign. They've got a new realtor all the time. I do know this, though. They wouldn't be dealing with all this stress if they'd have just called TVs Doug Hopkins because he's more than a guy buying your house. He makes an offer for your house, cash. As is. You don't have to do anything. The deal is over. So all you got to do is start the process online@doug hopkins.com or sing Hopkins 1, 800, now Holmberg's Morning Sickness. I wonder if you just did that. If you put somebody down, knocked them out, cut a hole in them and they thought they're getting a gastric bypass.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmer]

And so back up. If they'd start losing weight because mentally they thought, well, I can't eat. You know, you would, you would definitely mentally change your ways. Like if they. I don't know that they didn't.

[Brady]

That's basically what they're doing without doing.

[John Holmer]

The, without the cut. But your would be effective because you actually come out going, oh, my surgery scars.

[Brady]

Because what they found also is the people that get that. The sleeve deal.

[John Holmer]

Yeah.

[Brady]

That those people are even eventually bringing the weight back.

[John Holmer]

Oh, yeah, everybody. Well, because it's a habit. It's not your body. It's not your body's fault you're fat. I mean, you did that. You did it to you. But that's the, the weird thing is that I don't have any proof that they actually stuffed new parts in my shoulders. But I went through all the. Sir. I'm assuming they did. But I went through all the stuff and then I did all the PT and got better. But I mean, deep down, if they'd have just cut me and said, here it is, I'm. I'm pretty sure it would have still hurt. But I wonder if my brain would have been like, no, that's just the surgery stuff. Get past it. And then I block it and I wonder if like, you know, gastric bypass surgery and all that other stuff would make you feel like, well, I got the surgery, so of course I'm gonna lose weight. So then your mind changes. That's an interesting idea there. I like that. Yesterday, speaking of, you know, interesting thoughts and things, right as the show ended, said, all right, see you tomorrow, folks. Here's Larry. I take a look at my emails here in the studio, and a guy said, and I had said something earlier, and I don't remember exactly the line. I said something earlier about blowing Brett for something. And we all giggled and whatever. And then a guy said, that's it. I can't listen anymore. He said, your liberal agenda and your, your, you know, your full on crazy liberal ways of supporting this gay movement and being all for fine with your world of twinks and trannies. I can't listen to you. And I'm like, because I joked about blowing Brett. That's funny, isn't it? Like, no, you meant it. I'm like, okay, I guess I meant it. Never mind. I thought, I thought it was a joke. But yeah, I guess, I guess I am. You know, by saying, oh, sure, I'd blow bread for the right price. I mean, everybody, we all have a price. So. But he's gonna email back, see, it's your twink agenda. And so he starts bashing me for being too Liberal and I'm Mr. Lefty and all this. I go into my office a few seconds later, and Tripp comes in and he goes, I gotta talk to you about something. And I'm not bothered by it. Like, okay, so just curious. I'm like, what? And he said, I heard you mention Charlie Kirk this morning and then a couple other things, and I'm kind of wondering if you're sort of going that way. And I'm like, what are you talking about? He goes, are you headed towards like. Because you've always said you're in the middle, but I'm hearing you're more to the like, what are you saying, Tripp? Are you a magatard? And I'm like, what are you talking about? And he goes, yeah, I'm hearing that. I'm like, I just read an email saying I'm Too liberal and I'm too twink friendly. This guy can't listen to me because I'm. I'm too left. Oh, well, I heard you making fun of the no Kings march.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmer]

Cause I can't stand when they clog up traffic. I've done this forever.

[Brett]

Oh, same when I have the pride parades, right?

[John Holmer]

It doesn't matter. It's traffic. I hated the Tea Party. Don't clog up the roads on nice days. That has nothing to do with politics. But we had a nice long discussion yesterday and kind of came to the conclusion that everybody's political stance is so dug in that they have to assign me something because I'm the least brave. I will admit that. That I don't want to get in bed with either party. I'll lean one way for certain topics and the other, I'm totally socially a liberal lunatic. There's no question. Do whatever you want. It's not going to bother me. I'm pretty secure in what I am. You want to be gay, that's great. Don't force it on people. That's a big thing. And then on the other side, I'm pretty happy with certain things that go on with them too. But people. And every day, every. Every couple days, I'll get one. They're going, you're liberal piece of crap. You love Obama, Biden loving, like, what the hell? And then somebody else, you're a mockhatar. Do this. I'm like, okay. But it is an unbrave stance for me to take the middle because it's real easy to hate both sides, which is what I do. And Tripp and I were talking about that, and he said, why did you bring up Charlie Kirk? And I said, oh, we were talking about Hitler and if he was a baby, we would slaughter him as a baby. He goes, all right, never mind. That's enough of that. I heard the Hitler baby talk, and then I heard Charlie Kirk, like, see, that's it. We are so triggered by words that if you say anything favorable about Charlie Kirk, who, by the way, I think is a wonderful person who may have some views I disagree with and some views I agree with. And that's. I thought he was just an incredibly. I. I admire articulate, well spoken, ambitious people with good direction. I don't have that. I can talk a blue streak, but I don't have direction and ambition the way I should. And then I see somebody that has it, I admire, and I don't care what their message is. I watch a lot of religious, like, Joel Osteen. Like, this dude's got a goal. I feel like he's a shyster. The dude's got a goal, and he's. And he's good at it. I like to watch a man manipulate an audience. I like to watch someone get up on a stage and just own a room, no matter what their message. It can be scary, but I admire it.

[Brady]

You appreciate it?

[John Holmer]

I appreciate the hell out of it. It's an amazing skill to get on a stage and say, all right, everybody, me. And by the way, it's gonna be good. And not just stand up. Stand up. Comics rely on jokes. You go there with an agenda. To laugh. As an audience, you go with an agenda. So I started to think about that, and we were talking, like, do you think in the future? And we both don't know the answer to this, and I'm wondering that you can have any sort of show without politics, even if you don't want to. Like, I don't think we can at this current stage. You have to. You can't help it. Like, just mentioning Charlie Kirk made Tripp go, oh, he's talking about Charlie Kirk. But I wasn't. I was talking. I mentioned him, but I wasn't talking about Charlie. It was weird. So whenever you say something like Trump this or, you know, Kamala that or whatever, people just assign you a space and then make the topic political. When I started, because Toledo and I talked about it. When are we talking politics? When do we do it? But if you mention politics, people get triggered and say, they're talking about politics. I'm out.

[Brady]

Yeah. Or they're in. Or they're trying to get it, or.

[John Holmer]

They want you to be on a side. Yeah. They're baiting you to be like, get in my camp. And when you're not, it frustrates them. And they're like, oh, I don't like talking about politics. It's a weird world we're in with that, because it is. And I said this for years. It's our only commonality. Like, I wanted to talk about the Ed Gein thing a week ago, and you can't, because not everybody's caught up, but everybody's caught up on politics. Like the old joke that comedian had, which was like, we. We all talk about politics a lot, and it's frustrating because nobody's saying, hey, quiet down. I'm only up to the 2024 election. Like, no. Like, nobody's behind. We're all in the same boat. It's the only common sports, live events and politics are the only things. We're like the water cooler talk. That's it. Because it used to be we all American island. It used to be, right? Yeah. We'd sit, oh, my God. You watch Breaking Bad on Sunday night or Monday night, and you'd come in Tuesday and talk. Now it's like, no, I'm only on episode two. I'm only on season one. You don't have that open free forum to say, did everybody watch this? I remember when I was growing up, Bruce Kelly, who did a morning show until he whipped his dick out at Disneyland and then wasn't allowed to anymore. God, I hope he calls me again. His calls are off. Off. They're unhinged. I still have it saved. I'll play it for you. I don't want to play it because I don't. He called a different line. So it's not permissive for me to do so. But he's unhinged and he's mad because he. That is not what happened, Mike. You whipped your dick out at Disneyland. Oh, it was an alcoholic. I mean, I understand that all these things I covered. I just find it hysterical that you did it anyway. Wouldn't want to do it. Back when I was a kid, my mom used to listen to Bruce Kelly and Maggie Brock on KZZP 104.7 FM. You get a free sticker every time you got a Domino's Pizza from them. They were brilliant back in the day. And then you put it on your car and they chase you around and give you money, which probably is some. Our lawyers would never tolerate that nowadays, but they would have the prize patrol go out. And if you had a case, remember in the 80s here, KZP stickers were on everything car in the city. They were Dom and Pratt might say he dominated. He did not. KZZP was a monster. Anyway, on Wednesday morning, Maggie and Bruce, who kind of had on the air a Will They Won't they vibe like you kind of saw. And I know Bruce is. Got his wife over there in Dobson Ranch. I knew where he lived. And Maggie's a single gal. I'm not sure what she looks like, but she's got that sultry kind of raspy voice. I think they might be doing it. So Moonlighting, the show with Bruce Willis was kind of the same way with the Will They Won't they with Maggie and David on Wednesday mornings, he did the Moonlighting update the night before. Everybody in America watched Moonlighting the day after. We all talked about it on the air. We could not do that anywhere near close today with anything outside of sports or a political speech. Because if there's a show that's on right now and even that. Get 10 people in a room. Get 10 people in the room that have seen the same version, like, seen it all. There are some people that can just binge it all in a day. I'm not one of those. So you're on episode four. You're on episode six. We ruin it for each other. So what happens? It sneaks in. Are we blowing up drug boats? Like, that's. But people think it's. Cause it's neat. But people thinks that's.

[Brady]

And you find that out. I mean, it's just. It's. There's so much to cover.

[John Holmer]

Well, sure, but you think that's politics. When really, all I'm saying is I kind of dig blowing up Venezuelan drug boats. I like the visuals. I think that's a neat thing. Then I'll say, and I've gotten letters on both sides of this. Can't believe you support a president that would blow up. I'm like, I didn't support anything. I like the videos. And then I said, it's bad news, though, because eventually we're gonna do something where we blow up a plane of nuns, like they did in the 80s when they were doing planes or knocking planes out of the sky with drugs in him. I said, so it's gonna end badly, but for now, it's pretty cool. That day I got letters on both sides. You know, we've gotta stop the drug trafficking. Suicide. You're so liberal. I'm like, oh, my God. Everybody has to calm the F down, John.

[Brett]

Right, left, doesn't matter. Fart jokes for the win.

[John Holmer]

Exactly. And usually we go down that road. But it was an interesting talk I had with Tripp when he asked me if I was mogatar, and I said, no, but you're a libtard, so it doesn't make sense that you'd be so angry at me. Well, I'm not a libtard. Oh, you're libtard. And I'm compared to you, probably a Moga tard. Why am I even mentioned Charlie Kirk? Like, that doesn't make me a Moga tard, but I do like that we're both debating our tardisms, but I don't think you can. I don't think the next generation can have anything that doesn't dabble in that. You look at all those podcasts. Call me daddy or call her daddy and Marc Maron and What made Marc Maron's podcast huge, Obama went on. What brought light to the Call Her Daddy podcast. Kamala went on. Eventually, Joe Rogan, for God's sakes, became part of the election. You can't even have, like, goofs on it. So the reason I'm telling you this is because I'm gonna start faking it pretty hard, and I'm gonna go strong, hard mogatar just to make Trip crazy. I think that's the goal right here, is now that you know, I'm gonna be all Rush Limbaugh all the time here on the EIB network.

[Brady]

You believe these webtards.

[John Holmer]

Flutting around there, Queer all day long, tired, looking outside and seeing nothing but queer on the eab. So, yeah, I started to have that. But Tripp thinks I'm a Magatar. And to be honest with you, I just learned yesterday he's a libtard. I am neither. You guys can do a song together. Yeah, live together in perfect Tartary.

[Brett]

Bring him out to night of the scene.

[John Holmer]

Dead at work. Neither of them are dead. Ebony and ivory. Gotta wait for one of the guys to die. Stevie and Paul.

[Brett]

Yeah, close enough. You seen Paul lately?

[John Holmer]

He doesn't look good. No, he looks like my grandma. Yeah. But on that note, I do want to talk about something that everybody is watching. And if you're not watching it, I don't care. I'm no longer going to care if you're caught up or not. Brady and I were talking before the show about a documentary that's kind of blowing up called Good Neighbor. And you want to talk about polarizing people. Everybody grew up in a neighborhood with one. That was the appeal to To Kill a Mockingbird, which we all had to read, was the Radley House. And I know I'm getting all, you know, literary, literary on your ass.

[Brett]

Go back to fart jokes.

[John Holmer]

That's right. But if you go. If you go into that, it's a. It's a show. It's about kids. And they're, you know, their summer. And they have this strange fascination with the Radley house. It's the house on their street. And their dad was a lawyer. The whole. The whole thing is basically civil rights. And their dad stood up for a black guy who was accused of raping Louella or Luellen or what was her name? Ellie May Lou or something like that. Anyway, so he raped this white girl, supposedly, when all he was doing was helping her break up some old furniture in the front yard that she asked him to do. And then when she made her advances towards Tom Robinson. He said no, because he knew better than to bang some white broad. He was just a black guy with polio who was strong. And so he Will was her last name. He will. I loved it. It's a great show. It's a great book. It's a great movie. Morning sickness. Holmberg's morning sickness. But on the house was the Radley house. And there's some hillbillies and there's some prominent people on the same street. And the kids were told never to go to the Radley house, but they were curious about it, so they'd always go run over to the Radley house. How close can we get to the door? How can. You know? And everybody grew up in a neighborhood like that. Then they started to see in a notch in a tree that there were little gifts, little carvings of the kids. And they were like, what the hell's going on? The Radley house has little presents in it. And they started to recognize that, oh, it's a. The whole movie is about judgment towards what you see and what is the reality. So the Radleys represented, you know, your initial feelings about black people until you recognize they're human beings. And it may not look the same as you, but they have, you know, human emotions and all that. And then the other side was actually the very obvious black and white version. So in this, in this documentary, good Neighbor, there's a crazy bitch who lives on the street with families, and the families have a ton of kids. Now it is a mixed neighborhood ethnically, of blacks and whites. And I didn't see anybody else. Did you?

[Brady]

And they're quadplexes.

[John Holmer]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Single family.

[John Holmer]

Well, there were houses across the street, and then the lady was in a quad.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmer]

So across the street, you're in one of those neighborhoods. Yeah, you're. You're in one of those neighborhoods where you live in a house and directly across the street is like Section 8 housing. It's like inexpensive, one bedroom, 900 square foot, little tiny condos. Tempe's loaded with them. College cities always have that when there's like seven in a. In a. In a.

[Brady]

In a little strip and there's big, A big yard. Yeah.

[John Holmer]

There's general area, sort of an open space. And then usually those things have like a 10 foot setback and then the open area is there. But you got the Brett. I don't know where you actually grew up, but you had a crazy effort on your street. Yeah, we all do. Everyone does. And we all, as kids, mess with that person. Sometimes your doorbell ditch. Some people egg. Some people throw stuff. Some people tease. Some people try to get their goat by getting noisy in front until they come out and go, you kids get off. And then you moon them and everything else.

[Brady]

Even if it was walking by the house and the person would yell at you. Yes, because they're crazy.

[John Holmer]

Loved it. You're like, yeah, let's go.

[Brady]

Walk by.

[John Holmer]

Over and over. You'd walk by to try to just.

[Brady]

Like, ah, that's hilarious.

[John Holmer]

Drive that person insane. Well, almost inevitably. And having 25 years on this show, listening to the Brady Report and things like that, if you do it too many times, eventually they come out with a weapon. It's. It's. It's just textbook behavior of the loony on the street. Well, this documentary, these kids are playing in the common area and loud and noisy. And the single weirdo lady, and she is a weirdo, is in her house and goes nuts every time they do it and goes outside and screams things at him. Racial slurs, occasionally says all sorts of terrible things to him. Meanwhile, the kids who in the documentary are just angelic kids trying to play, and nobody's doing anything.

[Brady]

They're being kids.

[John Holmer]

Occasionally they mentioned or show on, and a lot of it's on videotape. Show them, like, kind of waving their ass at her, smacking their ass. And then the cops would come and say, can you just stay out of it? There's plenty of places to play.

[Brett]

Leave him alone.

[John Holmer]

Can you just leave her alone? You're gonna make our lives a lot better. And they're like, yeah, yeah, we'll do it. Sure enough, two days later, those kids are back in her area, screaming. And it's nighttime, screaming and yelling, doing all sorts of stuff and being loud. And everybody's like, they're just kids. They're just kids. It's like, yeah, but she's a lunatic. Just because you want or not to be isn't the case. So I'm watching this documentary, and they try to make this about race, which in a way it is, and it also isn't. It's about a lunatic. And then one of the days, the crazy lady picks up a roller skate and chucks it at one of the kids who was admittedly antagonizing her near her porch. He was yelling things to her and trying to get to her. She picked up a roller skate and chucked it at him. Now, she'd done it a few times. The mom didn't like it. And evidently she had said some things. They went Back and forth verbally. The mother of the kid didn't like it, went over, started to pound on her door. Right. Started to scream and yell at her. And getting involved again.

[Brady]

This is all. Again, eyewitness account. There's nothing just take place.

[John Holmer]

No, no. But in that part wasn't videotaped. But everything else was on cop cameras and all this other thing is.

[Brady]

Which is amazing.

[Brett]

When did this take place?

[John Holmer]

Just a couple years ago.

[Brett]

Okay. So there were ring cameras and things like that.

[John Holmer]

The cops have. They're there much that they made a documentary out of all the footage about this. Incredible.

[Brett]

Because we didn't have that when we were dicking around with the jerk down the. Down the road.

[John Holmer]

Yeah, yeah, I wasn't doing that. But now you got a ton of.

[Brett]

Bring out a big VHS camera was the only one.

[John Holmer]

But even the mother that she said, yes. The kids go over the. And all the cops kept saying were just. Just don't go over there.

[Brady]

We tell them to stay out of that.

[John Holmer]

Just don't go to that spot. She's nuts.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmer]

And he. And the one cop's like, we know she's crazy, but just to avoid problems, just stay away from her. Well, no. And for months, this goes on and on. Finally, it boils up to the point where the lady's banging on the door and the crazy woman inside fires through the door and kills her. Kills her dead. And instead of anyone saying, you know, two things needed to happen. One, everybody needed to admit they were wrong for pushing this lady to her limits. And two, the lady needs to go to jail. Yeah. For just firing a weapon instead of calling. She was on. And then they had some timelines of her calls that didn't add up at all. She just. She shot because she was angry and wanted to kill someone. But everybody I read online and I'm doing all this stuff, and they're like, it's. It's white this, it's black that, it's white this. And I'm like, no, this is like we can unite over this. This is all of us, black, white or otherwise, that have a crazy on our street. We have got to. I'm sure you've got one. You don't even know it. And if you don't know it, you're probably the crazy C word.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmer]

If you don't know who the person is, it might be you. But everybody's got that house that. I have one in my neighborhood that every time I go by, I'm like, oh, I can't wait for them to Move like, they park up.

[Brady]

We've got an old couple that. She's Italian and he's English. And you. They. Their door is never closed. So they're yelling at each other.

[John Holmer]

Yeah, they're the nuts.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmer]

And you stay away from them because if you go up, I'm very like most people do. Hey, I hear you guys are getting kind of loud. Happy domestic violence month. What the hell? Eventually, you're gonna. The people who are nuts.

[Brady]

I try to stay on the good side.

[John Holmer]

Why even stay on us side? Leave them alone completely.

[Brady]

Well, don't. I'm just like, wave to him where he says, sure, hello, whatever.

[John Holmer]

But you're hearing them yelling.

[Brady]

But there's been some people. I gone over there and confronted them about their noise. The noise. And then he does. He's what? They have a kit their grandkids come over to.

[John Holmer]

Oh, you've told me about them. And that's the one that snuck in and out of the way.

[Brady]

They're moving some merch.

[John Holmer]

They're moving drugs. So everybody. So you've got accused. Everyone's got one. Was that the one where the cops were there and then the kid crawled out of the window or something like that?

[Brady]

Multiple times.

[John Holmer]

Okay. And what?

[Brady]

You know, waiting for the documentary.

[John Holmer]

Hey, Kirby, you and your friends stay away from that house. Right?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmer]

That's just like. That's it. And if Kirby goes over there and bad things eventually happen, you tell Kirby, knock it off. That is not the fault of the homeowner who's nuts. It's the fault of the kid who can't stop bothering them.

[Brady]

Yeah. So the. The good thing about that one is, even though they have their deal, kids aren't going over there and fueling that.

[John Holmer]

Of course, because they've been trained properly. Well, dumber kids would go try to get a rise out of those loud old people who are easily angered. So watching this good neighbor thing, I got frustrated with the response back that everything was racial, when really all it is is people who are trying to make someone mad who's easily angered, and that person hitting their level of intolerance and starting to shoot. And it's just this weird kind of vibes. Like we should be able to get on that without being racially divided. I don't see color here. I actually might side some with the shooty lady up until the gun play.

[Brady]

Well, yeah, if you were playing. Oh, they were pushing her.

[John Holmer]

Right.

[Brady]

And having to them. It's fun in a way.

[John Holmer]

Harmless. Nothing bad's gonna happen. She just goes nuts and throws A skate at us. We'll be fine. Until. Until you're not. Did you see the video of those kids that were dressed up as horrible Halloween figures, telling people in their ring camera they were going to come back and kill them? Yeah, it's scary as hell, but you don't know who's on the other side of that door. And somebody unhinged, what they're packing, War veteran, what they've got, what. What they. What they're currently going through. And you start dicking around on ring cameras going, we'll come back and kill you later. Next time someone's at my door, I have something in my hand. I don't know who you are. There were kids at my place the other day. I was playing basketball, and they're running around, and then they banged on the door for some reason. And I'm outside. I didn't hear it. I'm like, what are their kids in my. And they're. You know, I have the playground now in the backyard. So I think maybe they're thinking that, you know, it's open for everybody. No, to everyone. It's not.

[Brady]

You got the new rec center.

[John Holmer]

I got a rec center. That's for me. It's the Johnny Solo Dome. But, yeah, so I. You know, and you just start going like. And they're screaming and yelling, and I'm like, all right, if this was an everyday thing where I got kids screaming and yelling, I am definitely gonna go, all right, guys, none of you live here. Don't go back to wherever it is you live and play there. Why are you at my house? Which is what that lady did, I kind of get it. I get kids being kids to a certain point. But if I asked you to be quiet and you're not, and then you come back and do it again the next day, and I say, hey, come on. Shut up. You're killing me. I sleep, you know, Brett, you did overnights. There'd be nothing worse than a bunch of kids playing outside your house in the daytime, not knowing the guy who lives in that house, stays up all night for work and trying to get sleep in the daytime. When everybody say, oh, they're just being kids. It's like, guys, I work all night. I need this time a little peace and quiet. Go play in your area. It would drive you crazy.

[Brett]

I literally threw the Arcadia door open one time.

[John Holmer]

Shut up.

[Brett]

I literally. It was like 11 o' clock in the morning. Yeah, it wouldn't shut up.

[Brady]

But, you know, to a degree that I like, you see it and that's how you become the guy. You keep doing that. Then you become, oh, I know. Lady turned into. And. But you know better, right?

[Brett]

No, absolutely.

[Brady]

And. But there's friends that, you know. I have one neighbor, like, man, you're creating this stuff.

[John Holmer]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And what happens?

[John Holmer]

But I have to watch.

[Brady]

That place gets teepee.

[John Holmer]

It's really easy to say, oh, that lady was crazy and shot. But it's like, you brought that on. You stay away. What happened to us that we try to change the minds of the crazy person on the street? That's as old as time. I got an email that says we have a guy in our neighborhood that just stands in his yard and insists on talking to us every time we go by. Signed to everybody in Brady's neighborhood. Yeah, there's that. You know, to avoid that. Laser told me he looks out his window first to see if he can go outside on days you might be standing there. And I laughed for a half an hour at Suns game like you do. And he goes, yeah, sometimes I just don't want to talk. And I'm like, is he ever inside? He goes, no. Like, oh, my God. Which is where the whole myth of Brady standing in his yard bothering people starts. But if you don't like that, it doesn't mean you hate that person. It means, I'm just not in the mood for this. If I go outside and I see somebody standing out there, I go back in. Like, I'm not going to go wander around. Or if Michael and Troy are across the street and I'm like, all right, I gotta go. I'll wait for them to go back in before I. You know, because they get that awkward thing where if you don't say hi or a jerk, and then you gotta, you know. And they're the same way, which is good. We're like, I don't have time for this. We're both that way. It's great. They say hello to each other and we do what we do. And it's not like something you have to stand outside going, geez, it sure is beautiful outside, isn't it? We had some rain there for a bit, and it's like, oh, Christ, I'm trapped in small talk. Hell with weatherman.

[Brett]

I had a neighbor one time, I would. I was out washing my car, and I would hear his front door open. He's coming out.

[John Holmer]

I just went back in.

[Brett]

Leave the soap on the car. I'll deal with it later. You know, I'm done. That is a true story.

[John Holmer]

I had one that used to watch Me mow the grass. And as I would start to drive the riding mower down the front yard, I'd see him walk towards me and I just turn it off. I'd get up and I'd walk in the house and I'd stare out the window until he went home. And he would wait sometimes, like he just needed people. He hated being in his own house. He must have hated his wife. But he did not like being in there. He had no one to talk to. And he took strangers. Like being outside is an invitation. It's awful. But I'd avoid him. I didn't want to fight the guy. Just didn't want to be around him. Yeah, there are. I just don't see in this particular situation that it was racially motivated other than she was frustrated by a bunch of black people and she was a crazy white bitch. We made it racial when really all it was was a bunch of people bothering another person. And that person snapped and should be in jail. She's not. Which is the crazy.

[Brady]

And it wasn't only, you know, it wasn't all black kids. It was a.

[John Holmer]

No, there was some white kids in there.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmer]

But the woman that died was black.

[Brady]

Yep.

[John Holmer]

So it looks.

[Brady]

She had four kids.

[John Holmer]

Yeah. And she was evidently like a princess. She was in a wonderful human being. But she snapped too, because you threw a skate at her kid. And then she got mama bear and went over and started throw skate. She had had it with that crazy too. Holmberg's morning sickness. And then, you know, they shot. So I was sitting there watching them and I went on, you know, went online. I'm like, the comments and things like that. And like, everybody thinks this is like, this is America 2025. Black kids can't play in a front yard. I'm like, no crazy people of any color. It doesn't matter. You don't bother them. You don't. Everybody's got that one house, the Radley house from To Kill a Mockingbird that you tell your kids, don't you, over there. I don't think good things are going to happen if we interact a lot with that group.

[Brady]

There are also, you know, there was a point of making the stand your ground law that also, you know, it was a Florida thing.

[John Holmer]

Well, she used that as her defense.

[Brady]

And then at the end, they put up a stat.

[John Holmer]

Right. And it's wrong.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmer]

But that's the thing we've lost is we can't watch that and say, oh, my God, everybody in this was wrong. Yep. But we don't have that. Everybody has to be assigned a role of right and wrong, righteous and bad. And I saw that whole thing. I'm like, crazy. Announced herself for like a year as the street crazy. And after a while you realize, oh, stay away from crazy, because she's gonna lose it someday. Same as any office building, you stay away from a couple of people at work.

[Brett]

There's a few here that we stay away from.

[John Holmer]

When they get mad, you know not to go waving your ass at them. It's morning, roller skates coming your way, and it doesn't matter what color they are.

[Brady]

Don't poke the bear.

[John Holmer]

Do not poke. When crazy says, I'm crazy and I live in your neighborhood, and I'm gonna be crazy every day. Let's go play in their front yard. Never. What are you doing? It's a failing on so many levels. And then, unfortunately, we as people get to watch it on the cameras of police officers, which is how many times the cops were called. So in a way, the crazy bitch was doing the right thing way too often of calling the cops. And then the people with the kids were all great to the police, going, yeah, we know she's nuts. We'll stop going over there. We'll stop. And then the next day, they're like, I thought, I thought we agreed that we weren't gonna. Well, that's a common area. Like, yeah, but yesterday we said, we gonna. We're at least gonna give it a break. We're back today. Like, just stay out of that space. Well, we're allowed over there. It's like yesterday we said we were not going over there. Okay. And then the cop got back in the car, said, I'm here every day. He told his partner, because this is every day. She's a crazy bitch. This is not. And gets car.

[Brady]

There's one thing that's missing, and you might think it's stupid, but when you first move into a neighborhood, you can have that confrontation. Like, this person's crazy. You told that person's crazy. You go over there and you have your first confrontation. Like, oh, I had it when I moved into one house, this neighbor, you know, lectured me about keeping my property together. And this guy said, I'm the self professed neighborhood police. You gotta, you know, and like, not.

[John Holmer]

A great first impression, right?

[Brady]

No. 1, I don't know, there wasn't really stuff that I. I finally, I reached out to the guy again and said, well, can you help me with this?

[John Holmer]

Yeah. Lo and behold, in fairness, your yard had gone to crap. Yes. So you Were at least self aware enough to know why the guy was there.

[Brady]

So in fairness, my kids are going over there disrupting this lady's neighborhood.

[John Holmer]

Oh. Back to.

[Brady]

Did anyone really reach out? That's the thing that was missing that. You know, what if you went over there and said, hey, I just want to say, apologize for my kids. I made you something, or whatever. You know, just a thing of gratitude.

[John Holmer]

And then when she's crazy again, you.

[Brady]

Just address it as like, okay, aren't.

[John Holmer]

Allowed in that spot. Yeah, we. I had a couple of places I wasn't allowed to play when I was a kid because it was too close to the crazy person's house. Yeah. There's a crazy bitch lives by the rich family, the riches. Don't go over there. Just kind of avoid it. Go around it. There's two ways to get to Mark's house. Crazy bitch. Or around the long way. Ride your bike the long way. And I would. Because crazy bitch hated kids to the point where she stood outside, threw stuff. Get out of here. I'm like, jesus, I'm literally just going by your house. But in all truth, we would go by an awful lot to make her crazy. Flip her off.

[Brady]

Yeah. You know, you're still probably gonna.

[John Holmer]

We were pushing it, knowing she'd announced crazy.

[Brady]

But as far as the adults, I never saw that. And I know that was in this deal that none of them really came over there and said, what is the real world? Well, if you can keep your kids out of my place.

[John Holmer]

Yeah. And she tried that with the cops. I watched that whole thing. And I'm like, we gotta stop doing this to ourselves. This is a slanted documentary about race. And I know that is kind of not the right thing to say for trying to not make it about that. We have to start making people who are crazy out loud crazy again and stop trying to.

[Brady]

And that's the other thing that's changed over the years is the people's moment of snapping.

[John Holmer]

I don't know, like, this one took a long time.

[Brady]

I know. But like, road rage.

[John Holmer]

Oh.

[Brady]

And stuff like that. You're like, there's times that you. You hear something like, Ronnie maybe was really upset at someone. Like, you got to be careful about that.

[John Holmer]

Yeah. You don't know what the other guy's got.

[Brady]

Yep.

[John Holmer]

Some people, you know what kind of day they're having. This guy says, people didn't learn from the Travis Alexander thing. Stay away from crazy. Crazy. Announce themselves fast. 100 almost. Almost immediately you're like, whoa, red flag. But she's Hot. And that'll kind of temper it for a minute. Crazy. Announce crazy immediately. And especially when they're old and alone. Oh, my God. That's the one you truly stay away from. It's a good documentary because of how it's filmed, which is very uniquely done from the body cam of officers. They were there so much, they made an hour and a half documentary out of it.

[Brady]

And it was good on the fact that the police were filming there. And you don't really say all the. The police did a terrible job of handling.

[John Holmer]

There was nothing they could do. Yeah. They continually went back to a place and said, this is. This is easily solved. Stay out of the crazy yard, please. Or. Or adjacent to it. And they're like, okay. And then the next day, they're like, what's going on? Why are we back here? Well, those kids like it over there. Okay.

[Brady]

Then they caught the heat from the community pressure.

[John Holmer]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Of saying, you gotta arrest this person.

[John Holmer]

Like, we can't watch it. We got to figure it out. It's worth a watch. But, man, it's weird how that thing kind of in a secondary way, polarizes everybody into having to pick a side instead of just going, everybody in this documentary is wrong. This was leading to trouble from the beginning.

[Brady]

There is one thing that the lady being interviewed. Crazy lady.

[John Holmer]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Saying. Did you know they're saying. Did you use this verbiage?

[John Holmer]

She's like, oh, it might have slipped out. Yeah.

[Brady]

Yeah. But I'm in the heat of battle.

[John Holmer]

Yeah. Did you say.

[Brady]

They said some things to me.

[John Holmer]

Did you say the N word? Maybe she did a lot. Yeah. It's crazy. It was nuts. Yeah. Anyway, it's interesting to watch, but we. I think it's just a little. A little quick check of ourselves to say sometimes you can watch something and go, oh, everybody in this is wrong. And then it led to a murder. So somebody's going to jail and somebody's dead. Was it worth it to play in the yard? We can all figure that out. You got a crazy person on your street. Stay away from them. And I'm talking to everyone on Brady Street. If he's outside, run away. Yeah, I like that. You would just, like, go over to their house just to confront it. I got a crazy person. My neighborhood, like, they stay crazy and they stay far away. I don't want them getting eyeballs on me. The last thing I want to do is be the one they like. Because then when the whole neighborhood starts to fall apart, suddenly they are leaning on me, and I'm like, well, now I'm on your camp. Now I'm going to look like I'm. I'm the nut too. I'm the first one to go. That person's insane. And I climb on board. I can repair that. If you're insane and I'm your friend, I got to try to get out of that. Oh, here we go. John, you liberal cuckoo. Just kidding. Just wanted to throw it out there. Oh, thank you. Yeah, I live in the middle too much. I watched that and I hated everyone in the documentary. Get your goddamn kids off the crazy lady's lawn. This is over.

[Brady]

I would. I was thinking, you know, if I'm not lady, like, why. Although it's easier to say that. That why not just move?

[John Holmer]

It's too hard to do that. And plus, I gotta be honest with you, there were like 31 kids. Her big mistake was. Her big mistake was looking at that house going, oh, this is nice. And not going back the next day or a couple days after to see how the neighborhood operates. Go hang around there. Because all that thing was, was a kid playground. There were. I've never. That was a absolute ton of kids.

[Brett]

Time to move.

[John Holmer]

And that would have been like, oh, I'd have moved into that. Except the kids. There's too many.

[Brady]

And that would be tough, too, because there's not much of a. I don't think there was much of a curfew going on.

[John Holmer]

Oh, no, they were out. Yeah. Those kids were allowed to a lot. Yeah. And I think that's every time you buy a house, you go by in the daytime. When you're. When you're even considering it, you're like, this is a good one. Go buy it. We'll come by at night, see what it looks like. At night.

[Brady]

Yep.

[John Holmer]

And you go by at night. If you got some weird dude just wandering around with like eight cane corsos and no shirt on, they're like, oh. I was like, well, I like dogs, so maybe he's okay. You just see that.

[Brady]

It's great advice if you're looking for a house to do that to get a feel for the neighborhood.

[John Holmer]

Of course. That's the best advice anyone can give you. Don't just snap by something and find out later you got 31 kids living across the street. Casey, you son of a bitch, just emailed me, goes. Did you notice the red hellcat parked on the street? I did. And I did laugh at that. Yes, I did see that. And if you're a racist white woman and you go to buy a house, drive them down the road and look for hellcats. If there's one or two of them, you're probably not going to the place you want to be. I like the hellcat. I got no problem with it. But if I was a racist old white woman seeing hellcats and stuff like that, I'm probably not going to move into that neighborhood. It's just nothing good for me is going to happen here. It's crazy anyway. Hilarious. It's already 7:40. My God. Peso is off the bar. We're almost get this thing over with. And I know I'll get emails saying I'm a libtard or a magatard from that, but what I am is a person who looks at everybody and goes, you're all wrong.

[Brady]

But the thing you're missing about the neighborhood, if you're in the neighborhood and there are a lot of hellcats, awesome. You get yourself a hellcat.

[John Holmer]

Hellcat. You blend, adapt. Brady's a big one. Brady and brett would say, you don't move in there. I don't get a hellcat. I just move in and admire the hellcat.

[Brady]

I'm not going anywhere. I'm getting help.

[John Holmer]

Brady tries to keep up with the joneses and I don't. But I'm well aware that if I'm in a neighborhood of hellcats and I don't like hellcats, I probably shouldn't have moved into this neighborhood. I'm gonna have some problem that's my fault. Take some personal responsibility.

[Brett]

If you walk by a house and the fire alarm's chirping, if you don't.

[John Holmer]

Move in multiple fire. If it sounds like a Christmas carol of chirps. Yeah, you're probably. And you're racist. Probably not. For you, it's. It's a weird documentary because I kind of saw everyone as wrong. And then the murder, obviously, it's like, okay, well, you're the most wrong. You're gonna go to jail. But somebody died because. And that's Brett. High five. Kids kill. That's what I learned from that at 7:41. What do you got on the big board of musical treats there, bert?

[Brett]

All right, magatard, Here we go.

[John Holmer]
