Overview:

This episode’s central theme revolves around the outrageous true story of a Scottish man whose partner faked an entire pregnancy, including a gender reveal party, documentation, and even birth, all for Instagram attention. The team uses this bizarre, headline-grabbing event as the subject for their weekly “Rock Wars” segment: each member picks a song to serve as the ‘theme song’ for “Scotland’s Dumbest Man”—the unwitting husband who stood by his partner throughout the charade.

The discussion is classic Holmberg’s Morning Sickness—irreverent, full of banter, biting humor, and pop culture references, with each host riffing on the situation’s absurdity before presenting their musical choices.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Story of the Fake Pregnancy in Scotland

• Background: Kyra Cousins, the woman in question, faked an entire pregnancy and subsequent baby (going as far as deleting photos and avoiding friends’ questions), tricking her partner for nearly a year.
• Host Commentary:
  • Holmberg describes him bluntly as “the dumbest man in Scotland,” likening the situation to infamous real-life tales of gullibility and betrayal (03:08, 05:09).
  • The hosts recount the step-by-step deceit: fake gender reveal, fraudulent documents, and how friends grew suspicious when the supposed baby's photos were suddenly scrubbed from chats (03:08–04:00).

Notable Quote ([03:08], Holmberg):

“The dumbest man in Scotland who stood by her side for the full fake baby, not knowing it was fake, claiming he didn’t know any of it had happened, believed everything she said…”

---

Drawing Parallels: Other Notorious Cases

• Holmberg brings up Brittany Zamora’s wretched scandal, drawing parallels between husbands who remain absurdly loyal in the face of overwhelming evidence or public humiliation.
• Quote ([05:09], Holmberg):

  “A woman who got punked by a sixth grader... It’s rough enough when your wife steps out, but she does it with a guy who’s 12.”

• The hosts riff on how being blindly loyal in such a situation becomes part of the theme for their musical selections.

The Rock Wars Segment (09:35–14:53)

Song Choices for "Scotland’s Dumbest Man"

Each host pitches a song to encapsulate the predicament:

• Brett’s Pick:

  • Guns N’ Roses – “Sweet Child O’ Mine”
    • His theory: Even after being so thoroughly fooled, the guy seems eager to have a real child with his partner.
    • Quote ([12:09], Brett):

      “Yeah, look it off, guys.”

• Holmberg’s Pick:

  • Highly Suspect – “16”
    • Chosen for its infamous line about a baby not looking like the father—paralleling the Scottish case's “most disappointed dad” theme.
    • Quote ([11:22], Holmberg):

      “You ripped my heart out. ‘16’ by Highly Suspect, the most disappointed dad song of all time.”

• Brady’s Pick:

  • Lou Rawls – “You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine”
    • Brady’s angle: No one else would be dumb enough to stick with her; and now, he has this incident to hold over her head forever.
    • Quote ([12:53], Brady):

      “She’s never gonna find a moron this stupid, so you’ll never find another love like mine.”

The Winner Is...

• Ultimately, John Gordon (tiebreaker/producer) decides on Holmberg’s pick:
  • Highly Suspect – “16” ([14:06], Holmberg):

    “That’s exactly right. Winner. Although I can’t complain about Lou Rawls ever.”

Banter, Humor, and Memorable Moments

• Comic Parallels: The group imagines the man’s social life now—entering a bar to everyone serenading him with “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” ([12:09], Brett/holmberg)
• Meta Commentary:
  • The hosts joke about how “dumb” the man must be not to have realized the obvious, riffing on fake pregnancy mechanics and the absurd lengths the woman went to.
  • Holmberg notes, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, that the man can now get away with anything in their relationship since he “stuck by her through all that BS.” ([13:01], Holmberg)
• Banter about Song Selection:
  • Brady jokingly admits he chose Lou Rawls just to pander and hear Holmberg’s Kiss 1230 radio impression ([14:12], Brady).

Tone and Style

The episode is satirical, biting, and fast-paced, with the hosts trading jabs, poking fun at everyone involved (especially the Scottish husband), and finding humor even in the strangest news stories. The banter is laced with pop-culture allusions and the musical selections are just as much about the hosts’ personalities as they are about the story itself.

Conclusion

This episode deftly mixes true-crime oddities with rock radio irreverence. Using the wild saga of Scotland’s most gullible Instagram husband, Holmberg and his crew create a showcase for their wit—and for the ‘battle of the bands’ style Rock Wars segment. As always, the real entertainment comes not just from the topical subject, but from the hosts’ ability to riff, relate, and rock out as only morning radio veterans know how.

Speaking of, got to say hello to one of our listeners. Ben Bergener emailed you and you sent it over to me. Brett and it's dude had a rough go. Lost his German short hair last night and just wrote us a nice letter and then at the end said I don't know why I'm telling you this. I just want to write down what happened because it was a terrible day and I think it was his birthday. Yeah, it was his birthday part. His kid was like where's the Dog. I want him to come to bed and I just rough. So tip one out for that beautiful burgeon or short hair that had been Ben lost. Sorry, buddy. And I know how that is. So we'll give extra hugs and extra cookie star pets in honor of Ben's German Shorter. Beautiful dog. German shorter. Love those. Super smart. Amazing. All right, Brett, we are on the precipice of Rock Wars. The word we're looking for in the app is bank. While you got that going on, tell us what the topic is for Rock wars today.

[Brady]

Let's do a song for that. That idiot that's sticking by the The Scotsman that's sticking by his fake pregnancy.

[Holmberg]

Broad that he was with. The story that's sweeping the nation of Kyra Cousins. The woman who went through not only faking an entire pregnancy, faking a birth, and faking a baby for a couple of months before she had to give up the bag. And the dumbest man in Scotland who tagged along with the party and trying.

[Brady]

To stick with it, Right?

[Holmberg]

I mean, yeah. The rumor is he might be staying. Says it's unclear whether or not Kira's partner realized how and when he was lied to. But Kira's new friend, Neve McRobert has opened up about how she finally. How they finally learned the truth in a video statement. I noticed Kira had deleted every picture and video of Bonnie Lay. The baby's name was Bonnie Lee from the chat. I asked her, what'd you do that for? And she ignored me. And then he said, I didn't want to go extreme because I thought maybe Bonnie Lay died. He didn't know anything. That's not him. That's somebody else saying, we're not sure about what happened there. She had a gender reveal party for a baby she was making up. That is taking it too far at that point. I mean, at what point do you just pull a. I'm just kidding around. You pretended for five months to be pregnant. Yeah, I just wanted to see if I could fool you guys for half a year. Nope. She didn't stop there. She had a gender reveal. She faked documents. She went bananas, had the baby, and then told people later. Pretty awesome. All right, a song for who we nicknamed Dip McKellips. The dumbest man in Scotland who stood by her side for the full fake baby, not knowing it was fake, claiming he didn't know any of it had happened, believed everything she said, and we just thought he was off. So a theme song for this entire situation for that lowly idiot. He reminds me very much of the husband of Brittany Zamora, the famous hot school teacher that got won over by that sixth grader and his smooth prose. And then he, he was on the phone. The worst part about that was he was on the news talking on those recorded calls to the family of the boy, saying, hey, let's just make this go away. What do you say? Brittany's not a bad gal. She's got, you know, your kid's pretty smooth. I might have fallen for it too.

[Brett]

Clearly a mix up.

[Holmberg]

Yeah, this is just a goof. And your son is really advanced and he was going to stick around because he's an idiot. A woman who got punked by a sixth grader, for God's sakes, and he dinged her. You know, it's rough enough when your wife steps out, but she does it with a guy who's 12 because he spits. Good game. So this guy's right in that category as well. A theme song for the guy who didn't know his wife wasn't pregnant until she announced it on Instagram. Eleven months, three months after the birth, eleven months into the whole scam.

53342 Holmberg's morning sickness it's time for the battle of weekly musical supremacy. First. Something like that. Someone does something like that. I had this book about break my arm trying to move the book of words. So I was trying to say the battle of musical supremacy while this thing had me trapped to a countertop. The book is a lot. It's big.

[Brady]

Did you lighter?

[Holmberg]

It's lighter. Well, it's a little lighter than it was, but you find out when you try to move it with one finger. That's not happening. I think I may have hyperextended something. I'm moving it like that hurts.

[Brett]

That's not good.

[Holmberg]

No. The book is winning Core Institute. I have a friend who is currently seeing a woman who is 6 3. She's a. She works out. She works out.

[Nick Delito]

How tall is he?

[Holmberg]

Like five seven. Oh, no, they look like they're. They're both good looking, but it's very Addams Family kind of vibe going on. So a friend of mine, and we're talking about it and I said, she's a strong girl and you don't anticipate, like. And then it's both reminded us of times. You're like, you know the time you're messing around with a. A girl who's strong and you're still a man, but you like challenger to an arm wrestling contest. And you realize in the middle of it, you are trying, you know, like, I'm not doing great here. I'm gonna win, but it's not gonna be. And it's like, ah. Like, ah. If I'd have given you my best, you almost had me for a second. And you walk away. We realize that's happening with him sexually, like, regularly. They get into those big wrestling matches together and he's like, ha, ha, ha ha. And then he kind of realizes, I can't lay down. She's like, she's winning a few of those battles. And in our 50s, you start realizing, if you're gonna pick that kind of youth, make sure you can manhandle it because the scale is not gonna get better in your favor as the years go on. She's gonna keep getting better and you're gonna keep, you know, you're diminishing physical returns. By the time you're 55 and she's like 30, it's a. She's gonna beat the tar out of.

[Brett]

You guys getting their bags.

[Holmberg]

Yeah, that must be it. Maybe it like, you know what? I can't take her anymore, so I might as well just enjoy the pain. It's. But the book just did that to me when I tried to move it, I'm like, I am trying book and I can't get you off my finger. I had to use my other part of my hand. I had to get my finger.

[Brady]

They're coming here now.

[Holmberg]

Okay. Byron's coming by. Do some commercials. Yeah, yeah, awesome. We have the topic that we talked about. The dumbest man in Scotland who is standing by his lady, who in fact faked her entire pregnancy, faked the birth, faked the baby, all for Instagram attention. And finally just recently said, I got too deep into this. I didn't know how to get out of it. Dude who was the father didn't know it was fake. At least that's his claim. My thoughts are somewhere around month six, he's like, can I touch it? No. Why don't. You have to let me close to this thing. I have to tell you something.

[Brett]

And we're way too deep.

[Holmberg]

But I'm gonna get us out of this.

[Brett]

Not once to talk about. It's moving.

[Holmberg]

No. Well, she. She posted videos of it moving. Oh, she worked a contraption in there to make it look like that little baby's. But then he. But he wasn't allowed to be around it that much, so this dude is screwed. So a theme song for Scotland's dumbest man. Dip McKellips, we call him. We don't know his real name, but that's the one we've got. Brett, who would you like to go first? Edit me. Yeah. All right. There's one song that comes to mind every time I think about a birth that made the husband an idiot. And it's got a great line and it says, the baby is not My baby's not my brother. Or sort of, because I am not a brother or whatever. Basically said the baby came out black and he knew right there at the birth, I knew.

[Brady]

You're going with this.

[Holmberg]

It's the Steve Nash song. It' 16 by highly suspect, the most disappointing baby.

[Nick Delito]

I'm not a brother.

[Holmberg]

What a great line. Yep. You ripped my heart out. Sixteen by LA Suspect, the most disappointed, disappointed dad song of all time. Except for instead, the baby's not my color, the baby's not a brother. It would be the baby has no skin. The baby is plastic. This poor bastard. And he's staying 16. Highly suspect, right?

[Brett]

So this guy, since he's staying, he's got to be excited that he wants to have a kid with this girl, even after this episode. I think he was really excited on this first round. I went with Guns N Roses. Sweet child. Oh, my.

[Holmberg]

That's still his theme. It'll be fun if every time you walked into a bar, people like, oh, there he is.

[Brett]

Yeah, look it off, guys.

[Holmberg]

That's that baby. I like that. Well done. All right. I like that one a lot. We all know that one, Brady.

[Brady]

All right, well, this one reminds. It could be like on an episode of Maury back in the day, you know, getting the results in and everything else. But this guy's so stupid, it is dumb. Just a complete moron that he's trying to win her back. So I think a little kiss 1230 alumni, Lou Rawls. You'll never find another love.

[Holmberg]

He probably should stick with her when you think about it, because he's got that hanging over her forever.

[Brady]

Well, she's never gonna find a moron this stupid, so you'll never find another love like Min.

[Holmberg]

Very true. Oh, what a song. You also have to remember. And I almost have to say it in the voice that makes this whole thing, too.

[Brady]

See, it was worth it just for this.

[Holmberg]

And just to let you know, Brett, it's a good point you're making. If he stays with her, he realizes this bitch can never get mad at him for anything ever again because he stuck by her through all that BS. Kiss 12:30. You'll never as long as you live, Someone who loves you.

[Brady]

Is Lou still alive?

[Holmberg]

Tender.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah.

[Brady]

We should have done this one, man.

[Holmberg]

Late AD. Funniest thing would be seeing me sing this in the costume I'm going to be wearing. Oh, no. All right, John Gordon, get over here. We're late. Topic for the man whose wife faked a pregnancy, had a baby. Yes, then told everybody it's not a real baby. I faked the whole thing for Instagram. He was unaware that the whole thing was fake. He's Scotland's dumbest man. He's trying to stay with her. Kind of bummed over he picks anybody.

[Brett]

Scottish for this because it kind of.

[Holmberg]

I thought about that. Yeah, Brady was gonna go with Rod Stewart. But we got one song that makes.

[Brett]

Perfect sense, and that is highly suspect.

[Holmberg]

That's exactly right. Winner. Although I can't complain about Lou rolls ever.

[Brady]

No, yeah, I just. I just did it to pander to you. I wanted to hear the kiss 12:30 guy. It was worth the loss to me.

[Holmberg]

It would be great if Kiss 1230 guy had the freedom back then to do that. Y' all hear about that out in sc that was doing that player that had he thought he was going to be a daddy and he was. First off, Kiss 1230 audience, you're going to be shocked to hear this part of it. Lady told a man in Scotland she was pregnant and he stuck around to hear more of the story, which is shocking to the Kiss 1230 audience, but it turns out was faking the whole thing, which usually you'd think is great news, but she posted everything on Instagram. Makes you look like a dumbass. Hopefully he's got a nice side piece. Here's Lou Rawls.

[Brady]

You'll never find post a mid song.

[Holmberg]

Come on. I do this for a living. I think for now. All right, we'll do a little. You got highly. Oh, we'll go do it after break. All right. We'll get highly suspect 16 on there. The winner this week for Rock Wars. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.
