Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. World Series Game 3: The 18-Inning Marathon

Segment: 00:38–04:59

• Holmberg launches the show blown away by the historic Dodgers win in a game that stretched 18 innings and almost 7 hours.
• “Could you imagine if [Tripp and Toledo] went to a Dodgers game together and it lasted 18 innings? Oh my God. Tripp would have hung himself.” (01:01, John)
• They marvel at how fans always think they want never-ending sports drama, “And then you get your wish and you’re like, Jesus Christ, I wish this thing would have ended about two hours ago.” (01:40, John)
• Discussion of West Coast vs. East Coast fans enduring the late finish, and the unique endurance it required for everyone—players, viewers, and even stadium staff.

2. The Toronto Blue Jays’ Dugout & Voon Chang’s Unicorn Horn

Segment: 04:59–15:23

• The hosts erupt over the TV close-up of Jays’ trainer Voon Chang, whose pronounced forehead “horn” becomes a source of fascination and comic storytelling.
  • “Voon Chang, he’s got a little horn. He’s got a big horn coming out. ... If a guy came running at me going, ‘I can help, I can help,’ and he had one of those—go help yourself. Go fix that before you can fix other people!” (06:28, John)
• Speculation on what the growth is (“bone spur,” “math storage,” “oracle eye,” etc.) and why a medical professional wouldn’t get it removed. Hilarious, pseudo-scientific riffing ensues.
• Brady questions if it affects Chang’s brain or skull; John disputes it with improvised “medical expertise.”
• “If I had a unicorn horn, I’d hit that thing with an angle grinder in my garage!” (13:38, John)
• Listeners start chiming in about whether Voon Chang’s horn is a good-luck charm during the Jays’ postseason run.

3. Will Toledo Sell His World Series Tickets? Who Gets to Go?

Segment: 15:59–43:09

• Ongoing bit about Toledo’s dilemma: He paid $2,400 apiece for World Series tickets, now worth only $750 each. Should he sell, go, or take someone else?
  • “Oh my God, you’re eating so much on this terrible, terrible purchase. ... You’re getting punched in the trunks, my friend.” (18:09, John)
• “Would you take a listener?” sparks a raucous brainstorm. Suggestions pour in:
  • Take the eighth caller for a “write off” trip (20:11–20:41)
  • Listeners offer road trip bribes: gas money, free food, hotel connections, streaking on the field
  • References to “Thriller” (a peculiar, possibly serial-killer-ish colleague), “Charlie” (an old show contact), and even taking a blind man for the handicap row perks
• The cast lampoons the logistics of driving vs. flying and the nightmare prospect of another marathon game for LA fans.
• John obsesses over the comedic potential of pairing Toledo with various listeners/characters in a road trip for the ages.
• “This has to be the most amount of people that have ever wanted to voluntarily and willingly hang out with Toledo. Wait for that. Soak it up, motherf***er.” (42:55, John)

4. Memorable Quips and Banter

• About Voon Chang:
  • “Voonicorn has to be thrown around behind his back on a constant basis.” (15:13, John)
  • “Go get that horn taken off your face. In fact, you got a horn on your face right now. Maybe he can’t tell me exactly why...” (08:53, John)
• About extended games:
  • “It just wouldn’t end, which is the sucky part. Baseball does have to do something about extra innings... man, you can’t have seven hour sporting events.” (03:27, John)
• On Toledo’s ticket scam:
  • “No self respecting Jew would have purchased what Toledo bought. There’s no Jews in the right field...” (31:05, John, riffing on ‘juicy’ seats pun)
• Listener’s offer:
  • “I have connections with Hilton resorts. I can fly us and get us a room for free. Take a few days off from teaching. Let’s go.” (29:31, Listener/Caller proposal)

[Brett Vesely]

Okay, but what if he lives out of state?

[Byron]

Easy. Legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it. It's really that simple.

Holmberg. Do it now. Save thousands, save time. Buy [e-mail] sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Tuesday. It is 5:45. There's the morning sickness. My name's John. There's Brady. There's Brett. There's big Dick Toledo. And all I could think last night was, that was Tripp and Toledo's nightmare. They got it out of the way. Could you imagine if the two of them went to a Dodger game together and it lasted 18 innings? Oh, my God. Tripp would have hung himself. It would have been like the guy from Airplane telling stories and then the passenger next to him pouring gas on himself. Well, that was remarkable. I text Tripp a couple of times because he's a big Dodger fan. I text him, I'm like, you better be awake because, you know, people of his age tend to bed down in Sunset. So it was, you know, he was up. He goes, I'm exhausted. And that was in the 11th inning. The thing went 18 innings last night of incredible baseball. It made me kind of think to myself, you know, when you watch a sporting event, that's great, basketball will do this. Everyone's like, man, I don't want this game to end. There's so many great plays. It's back and forth, it's tied, it's this. And then you get your wish and you're like, jesus Christ. I wish this thing would have ended about two hours ago. Was nearly seven hours long. At 11:50am Freddie Freeman hit a home run on the 18th inning. My God. Yeah, so it was just, it was 10 to 3 on the east coast to watch the last of the Blue.

[Brett Vesely]

Jays fans, Toronto fans, my God, four in the morning.

[John Holmberg]

I wondered what the bars did, the viewing parties and stuff like that. I mean, they got to stay open. You can't send people home. But there's got to be like, we can't serve another drop of alcohol, but we're all going to step. I stood up and watched it till midnight. It was too good to not watch. And then you're just like, man, that thing was just nonstop. And the best nine innings of World Series baseball I've seen in a long time. Freddie Freeman's home run grand slam last year to walk it off was pretty amazing, but this was just remarkable all the way around. Dodgers end up winning the thing. It was epic, epic play after. I mean, guys getting just a couple of weird plays bouncing off of a dude in the second baseman just slides down and whips a throw to third and these tagouts and these plays at the plate and it was just, it's everything you love about the game. It was outstanding. Made me forget that there was a Suns overtime game last night. Don't care. There was a Chiefs, Redskins game. I mean Redskins and then don't. They didn't care. That was a. It was great. It was amazing stuff and it just wouldn't end, which is the sucky part. Baseball does have to do something about extra innings because, I mean, they do it in the regular season where they've sped it up with a guy, but man, you can't have seven hour sporting events. And football would have to do the exact same thing if they stayed tied after overtimes and playoff games. They just keep going until somebody wins and eventually you'd hope someone would put one through the uprights. They showed a shot at about 11 o' clock last night. About an hour left in the game where one of the trainers came out for the Dodgers with a charcuterie he had cheeses and meats and things like the guys had to eat. Like, they're. They're breaking their necks out there, and they're. So it was the Blue Jays, actually, because Vlad Guerrero's pounding this salami and he's handing the cheese on the boards. Going through, it was very la, but it was in, like, the Toronto dugout. Then it was another thing Russ Springer twisted and may have pulled his oblique. And then it made me look at this. The trainer for the Toronto Blue Jays. I'll tell you his name, Brett, and then you can look him up. His name? Dvoon Chang. Stop. It's just a name. V o o n Last name Chang. It is something that sounds like I would make up for a character. Oh, my name.

[Brett Vesely]

Voon Chang.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You're gonna laugh even harder. I think he might be a unicorn. It's very strange what's going on with Boom Chang and if this was my doctor and my trainer, I. I don't know. I like my doctors and I like my. I like my medical professionals. If I got a physical therapist and everything else to not look like they've got massive medical issues. Voon Chang, he's got a little horn. He's got a big horn coming out. And they. Nobody said anything. I need people to. I need people to say stuff.

[Brett Vesely]

Take it.

[John Holmberg]

You know, even when it's just on tv. I needed John Smoltz last night to just go, obviously. Yeah, obviously you've got a horn on his. Okay. So, yeah, you got to find other pictures. You can start to see it from the front. Not that bad, but from the side. He went out to help Springer, and I'm like, what? And I even wrote down what the F is going on with the Blue Jays trainer's head. And so I searched Blue Jays trainer, and everyone read it all the way down. What's growing on the Blue Jays trainer's head? It is a bone spur horn, dead center of his forehead, and it was prominently on television last night. Voon Cheng has a unicorn horn growing off of his head. Remarkably huge horn. And all I'm thinking is it doesn't even look big in those pictures. But last night it was. It's large with the goggles right there.

[Brady]

In the top one.

[John Holmberg]

Is it a celebration goggle there? Yeah, he's.

[Brady]

No, all the top.

[John Holmberg]

You can see it, though. It is weird. And I don't know, I just started thinking that if a guy came running at me going, I can help. I can help. And he had one of those, go help yourself. Go fix that before you can start trying to fix other people. Boom. Chang.

[Brady]

There it is. Popping.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, it's big, man. And it. And from the side, from this. Exactly. Put a needle in it.

[Brady]

Is it similar to.

[John Holmberg]

No, mine was a lipoma. I looked, but, I mean, I had mine removed. And I'm not a medical trainer. It's not like I hang out in hospitals or medical facilities all day. He could fix it. No, it is not cool. There's nothing cool about it. It's an oracle eye, and I hate it because it means he can read our minds or something like that. Imagine how good he is at math. He's got his extra math storage of like it is.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah.

[Brady]

He scans your body with that.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. That thing is definitely. Look, I get it. I had a bump on my head for years. That was a lipoma. I had it removed. The only reason I didn't have it removed for the time I had it was because insurance gave me a hard time about where it was, which was just above my hairline. If I had hair was like, kind of top left. And I would go and say, I want this removed. And they're like, oh, it's plastic surgery. And I asked why? They said, because it's part of your face. And I'm like, if I had hair, would it be plastic surgery? And they're like, no, it would probably be a medical thing. And I'm like, so when does plastic surgery end for me with curiosities and cosmetic changes? And they said, where your hairline starts? And I'm like, then I don't. Then my face, technically, according to my insurance at the time, my medical insurance wouldn't cover. And somewhere about the top of my ass crack, where there's some hair, I guess a little bit. It's fine. It's unnoticeable, but I can feel it. So that would be technically where an insurance company would say, well, his face ends top of his ass. Some people even would say, some of my ass is my face as well. But, yeah, so I didn't get it done because insurance was a problem. So I finally got a doctor to say, I'll test it for cancer. And that way we can take it out. And I'm like, beautiful. But we already knew it wasn't, and. And it worked out. I don't hang out at medical facilities. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a trainer. I'm not a physical therapist. I don't have access to that. He's from Canada. They have that free health stuff. So he doesn't even have this issue. Go get that horn taken off your face. In fact, you got a horn on your face right now. Maybe he can't tell me exactly why.

[Brady]

Could affect his brain.

[John Holmberg]

You know, there's a skull in between there.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah, it'll still be good at math.

[Brett Vesely]

Don't worry about it.

[Brady]

That could go through the skull. You never know.

[John Holmberg]

That wouldn't go through the skull.

[Brady]

That's not rooted in there where they can't dig it out. You have to really through bone.

[John Holmberg]

And they wouldn't do that. You don't think they'd do that? They do brain surgery. Brady telling you.

[Brady]

I mean, why doesn't he have it removed?

[John Holmberg]

That's the worst lawyer option ever. Exactly. Why doesn't he have it removed? It's not because it would affect his brain. If it's that good, then you couldn't touch it. He wouldn't run the risk of being outside. If your brain is affected by the bump that's cutting through your skull into your brain, you bump it and it's gone. If the doctor's like, you can't do.

[Brady]

Anything into the skull.

[John Holmberg]

That's what I'm saying. If it was affecting the brain, I'm.

[Brady]

Saying it could affect the skull more than anything. Then you crack it. The bump. Then they remove the skull. Then he could put a plate over it.

[John Holmberg]

They wouldn't remove the skull. They wouldn't do that. They'd shave it or whatever and then pull out the. You said it's calcified, huh? If it's calcified, they can shave down. That's just calcium.

[Listener/Caller]

Please do a medical.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. I like the best part. I'm just telling you. Was a strong argument. I'm just telling you that it's. Sometimes these things root down into the brain and doctors have no clue. From the 1800s, they wouldn't know. They do brain surgeries. I had a friend who had a. He'd get a blind spot in his eye, tingle. Remember him? Oh, yeah, yeah. And he's like, I couldn't see it in my eye. I passed out at a restaurant. I woke up and I got a brain tumor. They'd already cracked his skull and pulled a chunk of it out, Knocked the brain tumor out, plopped the skull back.

[Listener/Caller]

By the time he woke up, he was already gone.

[John Holmberg]

They told his family, like, you gotta do this. And they shaved up his head and took a chunk of his skull off, cut the thing out, and then they put the thing back in, and the bone grows back together.

[Listener/Caller]

According to Brady that's going to happen.

[John Holmberg]

To Voon Cheng Voon Chang can't do that. Brady's brace. Get an alien living on him. It's rooted down into his brain. Doctors have already told him no kid. No, that's not the case.

[Brady]

Okay?

[John Holmberg]

They have a date.

[Brady]

You got to figure it out.

[John Holmberg]

I do have it figured out more than you.

[Brady]

You do?

[John Holmberg]

Yes. Because if you.

[Brady]

The question is, why does he not have it removed? I'm throwing out things that saying maybe.

[John Holmberg]

It affects his skull. Yours is crazy because if it did, he wouldn't wear hats, he wouldn't go to baseball games. He certainly wouldn't risk getting that thing bumped into.

[Brady]

Well, the doctors don't remove it. Just remove. Removing is. Could affect that.

[John Holmberg]

It's John Holmerg here, shilling away from my [e-mail]. here we go. It's going to be hot from here until Halloween. That AC unit of yours is on for the next five months, non stop. That means if your AC unit is 10 or older, it ain't going to last much longer. Proactive, that's what you need to be. Get that AC unit replaced. New AC unit.com inspects that order. Then the best pros in the business install that system and it is a done deal. You're going to save thousands of dollars. They've changed the game. New AC unit.com save thousands. Save time. Buy online at newac unit.com Holmberg's Morning Sickness did shave it off to the thing. You're saying that if he got it removed, he's.

[Brady]

No, I'm not saying that, but it's.

[John Holmberg]

Just inconvenient, I think. What would you rather have exposing the skull more?

[Brady]

I could make it more prone to.

[John Holmberg]

Injury if you remove. If you had a unicorn horn on your face. Yeah, you would have it. You would keep it rather than take a chance that maybe the skull was a little bit affected.

[Brady]

It would have to be a lot affected.

[John Holmberg]

And you get that unicorn horn removed.

[Brady]

If the removal is very dangerous. I'm not having it removed.

[John Holmberg]

But that's what I'm asking. If it's dangerous, why is he out there playing with baseballs flying at 100 miles an hour? You wouldn't take that chance. If it gets tapped, he's dead. So then the other. He's just lazy.

[Brady]

Is he likes it.

[John Holmberg]

He can't like it. That's another thing I just won't go with. He can't do it. Get it just taken off it's bone. Shave it. It looks like the biggest zit I've ever seen. And from the side, when he's out there with. Russ Springer was hurt. It was a crucial part of the game. And I'm sitting there going, what the hell's on that guy's head? Get him off tv.

[Brett Vesely]

Springer probably saying the same thing.

[John Holmberg]

Jesus Christ. Springer's like, ah. Springer pulled his oblique trying to push the guy away.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't need smelling salt. I'm awake.

[John Holmberg]

Monster.

[Brady]

What if it is his skull?

[John Holmberg]

That's what it is. That's what the. It's a growth off of there. They said it's a bone spur off of his. At least the article I read that your bone grows more bone. It's like having calcium deposits on your thing. It's unicorn. He's a unicorn, and you got to get it off. This guy said, if I had one of those, medical insurance or not, I'm not waiting. I'd hit that thing with an angle grinder in my garage. Jesus Christ. Yeah, I'm the same way. You give me a unicorn horn, and it starts growing out, and I'm like, yeah, this is not getting better anytime. Kind of go ahead and just burn that off.

[Brady]

Creepy wonder, you know, like bone spurs. If you grind it down, does it eventually come back?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. But they figure it out. They keep grinding it down again. He is in Canada, where health care is free. They always brag about it. Always brag about it.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

With something like that, they're putting you at the back of the line cosmetic thing.

[John Holmberg]

He works for the Blue Jays, and they have a medical team.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't deal with commie medical stuff up in Canada.

[John Holmberg]

All right?

[Brett Vesely]

So.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. I'm just saying it is true. Brett makes a good point about communism. Hadn't put a communist spin on that yet. Yeah, Brett's right. Screw those commie unicorns. He floated over here from Japan or wherever he's from, and he. It's Chinese Vinny over there somewhere. Walked all the way from Vancouver to Toronto, got a gig, grew a unicorn horn, and nobody's saying anything. Get in the training room. These guys can't have a slight cut. I mean, Shohei Ohtani rubbed the back of his leg, and four dudes ran out onto the field with towels and bombs and everything else. Let him stretch for 10 minutes during the game. Meanwhile, you've got a unicorn in the Toronto dugout. Nobody seems too concerned with. People need to say stuff. Go get that fixed. Doctors can do anything, by the way. Yeah, this guy makes the point I was gonna make Too. He said his name is Voon Chang. Voonicorn has to be thrown around behind his back on a constant basis.

[Brady]

Maybe his wife loves.

[John Holmberg]

Could be. Maybe it bangs into a certain area of her. I don't know, maybe she's got a bump too. You know what I mean? It's a surprise his family hasn't killed him. Ground that thing up for Chinese boner pills. Like rhino horn? Yeah, could be. I don't know how that works either, but it's just. It's just insane to see on television. But 18 innings of just absolutely amazing baseball and it's too much. It's too much, you say? I want this guy. I can't imagine. I bet you Tripp went right to sleep and regressed. I don't know how you could if you're a fan like that the way he is.

[Brady]

And aren't they playing again tonight?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they got to play tonight.

[Brett Vesely]

David Toledo are going together.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. They're going to. They're going to hop in a car. Could you imagine if they had arranged that? Is Toledo going? Yeah, Riding over there. But. Worst part is, let's just say, you know what? We'll just hop in the car and drive back after. It'll be over at 9, and then they don't have a place to stay. Tripp would have to go, I guess you can stay with me at the club. And he'd have to gut it out with Toledo for another day. And then seven hours at a baseball game. Five hours there in the car. That's 12 nappies. Wake up another five. You guys are 22 hours. It's planes, trains and automobiles. It would be the nightmare. It's totally Steve Martin. John Candy.

[Listener/Caller]

What's the word?

[John Holmberg]

It's not Android. Good call.

[Brett Vesely]

It's Trip.

[John Holmberg]

Android.

[Brett Vesely]

Trip.

[John Holmberg]

Read. Android is the word. That is the 6 o' clock code word for taking it in the app. Android. A, N, D, R. Oh, wait, that says next one. Wait, that's six o'.

[Brett Vesely]

Clock.

[John Holmberg]

That was last night. Never mind. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Fitch didn't pull the last paper. I looked at six left. Scratch that. It's not Android. It is hype. Hype, hype, hype. Sell your ticket.

[Listener/Caller]

No, no.

[John Holmberg]

Still on the fence.

[Brett Vesely]

Got a flight.

[Brady]

Taking a bath?

[Listener/Caller]

Might have. Might have to take a flight.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my God, you're eating so much on this terrible, terrible purchase, no one will buy your taste.

[Listener/Caller]

May have been. Did you see the game last night?

[John Holmberg]

Yes.

[Listener/Caller]

In the eighth inning. There were entire rows that were empty. Yeah, well, friggin LA fans are so spoiled.

[Brett Vesely]

And you can move down.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Then you can. Then you have to sit in Toledo's rotten seats. You should just. Price of admission. You might be sitting up there.

[Listener/Caller]

Craig, where Ohtani hit that one last night is right close.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it wasn't close. It was. There were about eight more rows. You would have been adjacent to someone having a great night.

[Listener/Caller]

I can get the reach, the ricochet.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You had to have radar O'Reilly incoming before you see the game and the ball actually coming.

[Listener/Caller]

Prices may have been adjusted a few times.

[John Holmberg]

How much is. How much are your $2,400 tickets going for?

[Listener/Caller]

750.

[John Holmberg]

Seven fifty a piece. Taking a hit here.

[Listener/Caller]

Taking a hit.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You're getting punched in the trunks, my friend.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And I don't know if people are going to want to go tonight with the risk of another seven hour game.

[Listener/Caller]

That's what I thought. When I hook up, I'm like, because you're trying to plan. Should I get a flight over and then come back like at 9:00'?

[Brett Vesely]

Clock?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Listener/Caller]

No way I'd have been able to leave at 9 o' clock last night.

[John Holmberg]

Here's the fun of it. Ready? Let's say that game you were at. Yeah. And you're like, I gotta go to work and I got a 1030 flight. So when it was supposed to end around 8:30, you'd had a perfect time to hop in a car. Right, right, right. Yeah.

[Listener/Caller]

Right to the airport.

[John Holmberg]

You could have in theory done exactly that. You turn to Lisa and say, hey, we gotta go. You know, they're not fans of either team. It's just to experience, to be at the World Series. So maybe in the ninth inning you're like, I gotta get out of here, I gotta go to work. Or if hadn't scheduled that, get on a plane, get here, watch the last three innings.

[Listener/Caller]

Last three, probably.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, maybe that's true. Yeah, it would have been because it would have. Six hours. But I'm giving you an hour at the airport on either side. Which you wouldn't have needed.

[Brady]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

And then a drive to the house. Yeah. You'd probably watch the last five or six innings here. You'd have been at the game, flown here and watched almost an entire baseball game. It was crazy long, but, you know, just nuts. It was insane. So good luck to you tonight, Toledo. I think that's awesome. Remember? No. God, no. I have no interest in that. I'm not like, Tripp, I'm not gonna go. Oh, I have. How generous. I know. Brett.

[Brett Vesely]

No I'm good.

[John Holmberg]

You've. You haven't been to a World Series.

[Brett Vesely]

I have not.

[John Holmberg]

No, Brady, I'll pass. It is fun. You didn't make it anywhere near the end of the like first nine innings probably. No, you didn't. You were out cold before.

[Brady]

I watched the football game.

[Listener/Caller]

Can you fly with one kidney?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Listener/Caller]

Okay. Voon Chang, he can fly.

[John Holmberg]

Oh my God. I want that surgery.

[Brady]

Went to Columbus.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he's already flown once. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, you don't have to worry about that. If there's a medical emergency, everybody's on the phone.

[Brett Vesely]

Just take the eighth caller and send them with Toledo.

[John Holmberg]

Want to?

[Brady]

Yes.

[Listener/Caller]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Then it's a write off.

[Listener/Caller]

It's already a write off.

[John Holmberg]

No, it's not. Full price ride if you go. It's not at all. We're not gonn. They don't count that anymore. Entertainment isn't a write off anymore. Do that. Take a listener and it is.

[Listener/Caller]

Oh God. No.

[John Holmberg]

8Th caller. No, right now.

[Brady]

Qualify just in case.

[John Holmberg]

Do you want to qualify? We'll do one later today. We'll qualify.

[Brady]

Absolutely.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe you'll meet a new good friend.

[Listener/Caller]

No way.

[John Holmberg]

Come on.

[Listener/Caller]

You're not convincing me of that. Maybe you'll have doing this too long.

[John Holmberg]

I got plenty of friends have gotten off of this show. Yeah, loads of them. Thomas Wells.

[Listener/Caller]

I'll take Winston. That's one guy I'll take.

[John Holmberg]

In a strange way, my buddy Anthony, a huge fan of me, loved me, confronted me at the rah rah room and said hey, listening for a long time. Love the show. I'm like great. And we fast friends. He's a great guy.

[Brett Vesely]

They're already coming in. Adam hall, he'll go with you.

[John Holmberg]

Sounds normal.

[Listener/Caller]

Sounds normal.

[John Holmberg]

What are the odds? You just eat them. Oh man, you gotta go.

[Listener/Caller]

Can't just eat them.

[John Holmberg]

Somebody will buy them last minute. But you're gonna have. You're gonna take a thousand dollar hit. At least. At least.

[Listener/Caller]

Swiss Burton?

[John Holmberg]

No. Swiftburg. Magic Man. Road trip with the Magic Man. Oops, I answered the phone.

[Brady]

Oh God.

[John Holmberg]

Hi there. Who's this? Are you there? Oh no. There's too many people calling now you're broke. Hi there. Who's this? Yeah, right. I would never go with him. You're calling to say you would never go? No, the phone hung up. It's hanging up on people now. You guys are clogging up our phone lines. Well, what are you gonna do? It's our great phone system of if we get more than 10 calls, the whole thing shuts down Toledo. Couldn't be happier about that. Maybe later this morning.

[Brett Vesely]

David Vasquez said he'd go with you. He's a blast.

[John Holmberg]

You know how much fun it would be to have Vasquez? And you'll fit, right? The diversity. Exactly. You're in. How about you and Paula right field? Let's finally. Paula just text in. She just emailed in. Oh, my God, please let me go with him. I would torture him the whole time. It's my dream.

[Listener/Caller]

I don't want to be up on murder.

[John Holmberg]

Hol morning sickness. Hol's morning sickness. What if Paul is super hot? You end up, you know, finding the one. You have to go back and tell your whole family. I was like, I didn't realize the chemistry between a woman that hates me and myself would be so strong.

[Listener/Caller]

Oh, it's a nail tale as old as time.

[John Holmberg]

The love me, hate me, freight train.

[Brett Vesely]

Will go with you. He's saying he's good.

[Listener/Caller]

Jesus Christ. No, no offense, anyone.

[John Holmberg]

This Kyle guy makes a good point about Vun Chang's forehead. He said, look, they're on a championship run. The dude can't get rid of that horn till the season's over. It's like a rally. It's like a rally beard. You have championship rally H. Yeah, well, if you get a rally horn, you put your hat on. But he can't wear hats because Brady says he's got tentacles that grow through his skull.

[Listener/Caller]

Can't touch his skull.

[John Holmberg]

And then it touches and it could very. It could affect him. I think you're buying our old joke. When I had my lump on my head and I would take a sip, I should roll. You ever seen one of these? And he'd touch it, and I just. And throw my water up. Told you not to hit it. You sure you don't want to take a listener? Because the phones are lit up. I don't. I know they don't work, but Brandon.

[Brett Vesely]

Beers said he would go. He'll pay for gas and food.

[John Holmberg]

Gas, Rude. Do you need a photograph so you don't drive some hornies?

[Brady]

Taco shop Heaven.

[John Holmberg]

Or you could like Corey. When I told him I took him to the Rah Rah room.

[Brett Vesely]

Take Corey.

[John Holmberg]

Take Thriller.

[Listener/Caller]

Sure, I'd take Corey.

[John Holmberg]

You and Thriller. His friend is. I'm telling you right now. Oh, let's see.

[Brett Vesely]

Look at that. That's.

[John Holmberg]

He's.

[Brett Vesely]

Here.

[John Holmberg]

The intercom system. Are you sure? He's usually just standing here.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't think he's here this early.

[John Holmberg]

His car's here. That doesn't mean he's not walking in for the next hours. We don't have an intercom system and no one's in the building anyway.

[Listener/Caller]

That's as good as an intercom system as we have.

[John Holmberg]

It's better nobody just call him Echoes. We'll get him down.

[Listener/Caller]

Well, it'll take him an hour to get down here.

[John Holmberg]

He's got to be here.

[Listener/Caller]

He heard the call.

[John Holmberg]

Sometimes he's not here. Well, he probably heard it at his house. Yeah, Plenty of people are going or want to go, but I think we found our Huckleberry.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Would you take Thriller?

[Listener/Caller]

Absolutely.

[John Holmberg]

You'd Road trip with Thriller? Sure. All the way to Los Angeles. Now I hung out with Thriller.

[Brett Vesely]

Road trip.

[Listener/Caller]

I'm thinking about getting a plane ticket.

[John Holmberg]

I hung out with Thriller and his friend one night at the Rah Rah room and his friend made me kind of go, oh, I know these two story masturbate to dead animals. Well.

[Listener/Caller]

But you also saw what their entertainment is.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, that's why I thought it. I'm like, this is a weird show anyway, this Asian lady.

[Listener/Caller]

How do you find that person?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Motor. I forgot her name, but get in there and everybody. That's something.

[Brett Vesely]

Like something.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Otto. Otto. And let's see if he's down there. Okay. Just losing. Losing their minds over it. And then he and his friend were in the Rah Rah room. And even people in the Rah Rah room kept coming up to me going, are they okay? I'm like, no, I'm just meeting that one for the first time. Thriller seems normal, but get him around.

[Listener/Caller]

Some of his kind and this one.

[John Holmberg]

Tugs to dead animals, and we all know it. And then he took his hat off and he's like, oh, you are every wanted poster in a 1980s post office.

[Listener/Caller]

What's wrong with his mother?

[John Holmberg]

He had. He refused to admit that he was completely bald. But he grew out what was left real long. John Gordon. No, much worse. Much worse. This is a nice thing to do for Thriller. And in fact, if you take Thriller and he says yes, I'll kick in the 750 for his ticket. I'm not gonna pay full pull on that. That's insane. I'm not an idiot.

[Listener/Caller]

I've already looked.

[John Holmberg]

It'll be a nice way. A nice way to give Thriller a little extra for the work he does around here for us. Yeah, so he doesn't have to sell bone marrow.

[Listener/Caller]

Would you buy him? I'm thinking about hopping on a plane.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, you gotta play. I'm not buying him a plane ticket. You'd have to. You gotta drive him. What? You get better parking.

[Brady]

Well, you could use that 750 for the plane. Your choice.

[John Holmberg]

Or that. Yeah, yeah. Taking Thriller. He's weird. Like, in a good way. There's a lot of stuff that.

[Listener/Caller]

He's been around him enough.

[John Holmberg]

I go out with him out of the building, though. Oh, no, he's not the same.

[Listener/Caller]

He changes outside the building.

[John Holmberg]

Starts talking about stuff that you're like. And it's funny, but I think he means it. I mean, it's literally like, do you want to. Do you want to see where a dead lady lives? Like, what?

[Listener/Caller]

It's Stand by Me.

[John Holmberg]

It's. No, he killed her and it's Ted Bundy. And I think he goes and visits her corpse every once in a while to see if the cops are on his trail. There's a lot going on with Thriller that we don't know.

[Listener/Caller]

My.

[John Holmberg]

Tease him all the time about being a serial killer because of his hair. Or a assassin.

[Listener/Caller]

He's not here yet.

[John Holmberg]

Damn it.

[Brady]

It's working.

[John Holmberg]

Is he listening? I wonder if he's listening. Thrill, if you're listening, man.

[Listener/Caller]

What's that Dan Patrick show down there? It's.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's automatic.

[Listener/Caller]

It's all automated.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Either way. Thrillers to win there. Thrillers to win. Yeah, that John having Toledo and Thriller in the same car. We should put a poster together and a picture of him. And it's called no Proud Fathers Club.

[Listener/Caller]

Oh, man.

[John Holmberg]

There's a guy over here. No Proud Flat.

[Brett Vesely]

This guy said take Charlie. Is he still around?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, there you go, man. Imagine him in the plane.

[Brady]

I heard from him over the weekend.

[John Holmberg]

You did?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

How's he doing?

[Brady]

Well, there's a WWE just seeing if we have.

[John Holmberg]

You know what? He sees you as a mark. Yeah, he does. He doesn't bother us anymore. He sees you as a mark.

[Listener/Caller]

Well, he didn't have any. Does he have your new phone number?

[John Holmberg]

If he does. Blocked him. I love Charlie. Well, he's done that before. Done him in a movie theater one. Yeah, the. Hey, I'm just calling Brady. He's a pushover. I'll get everything I want from him. Come on. Hey, Brandon. Charlie.

[Listener/Caller]

An open mind.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Why don't you get your. Give me something for free. You're gonna get your. You gotta text him and tell Charlie we need to have him come back in here. I want to see Charlie with some gray hair. You look like Gandalf if he went through a wash cycle.

[Listener/Caller]

Have you Seen him?

[John Holmberg]

No.

[Listener/Caller]

Oh, you're assuming.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

He said, hey, how are you doing? I got a question for you.

[Listener/Caller]

It's cordial.

[John Holmberg]

He's texting you.

[Brady]

Promotions have any tickets to WWE Smackdown?

[John Holmberg]

I gotta be in the money.

[Brady]

You gotta help me out tomorrow night at ASU's Mullet. Well, we missed that.

[John Holmberg]

Oh yeah. That was a few days. You didn't even text back.

[Brady]

Yeah, I said we don't have any.

[John Holmberg]

Thanks a lot.

[Listener/Caller]

Down. Was it Mullet and not downtown?

[Brady]

I guess so, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

It was a big one. They had a big one at Mullet. It looked cool too.

[Listener/Caller]

But wouldn't it be bigger downtown?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it was the day to day one. They have like the weekly show that they do and they kind of tour their own. So I don't know if it was the bigger of the two. This one said let's roll Toledo. I don't know my dad either. We could bond over that. Might even be the same guy. What do you find out, you long lost brother? You and Brad. I like this. Taking Thriller is good, but otherwise I think you should have to take a listener for your.

[Brett Vesely]

Here you go, Richard. I have connections with Hilton resorts. I can fly us and get us a room for free. Take a few days off from teaching. Let's go.

[John Holmberg]

He's a teacher. How does he have so many connections?

[Brett Vesely]

Sounds kind of normal though.

[John Holmberg]

That guy sounds good. You're married to a teacher. You're used to their liberal nonsense.

[Listener/Caller]

Oh yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And that is not an admission. Like I'm not announcing that I'm. I love the right. Stop it. I get my emails. I just make fun. Because teachers are all the same. Yeah, they're all the same and they're intolerable when they get going. Same as the other side. I live in the middle. Leave me alone about it. I don't want your emails. Yeah, so you could do that guy Sounds like a good one.

[Brett Vesely]

Toledo can't take Thriller. The game will be over by the time he gets out of the car and into the stadium with those Juicy.

[Listener/Caller]

That's why I'm saying we have to. We have to plan and take Juicy.

[John Holmberg]

A Jew would have a deal. Jews all set up close. You knock it off with your Juicy sucker Koufax there. Last night Sandy Koufax was front row Juicy. I don't see a lot of juice in ideos Mio, but that's where he's sitting. How am I getting. This charade has gone on too long. I'm actually getting upset with anti Semitism. As if I'm affected. My fake Judaism is starting to piss me off. They're not juicy. No self respecting Jew would have purchased what Toledo bought. It's an admission that there's one of your kind. There's no Jews in the right field.

[Byron]

There aren't.

[John Holmberg]

No. No. No practicing or self respecting Jew is sitting in the deep right field bleachers at a World Series game because it would be an admission that he's poor. This game is making me feel clamped.

[Listener/Caller]

Hey, by the way, I'll take pictures.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, I'm tired of you guys with your candles. Jesus was not divine. Manuelo Chevitz. Oh. Oh, man. It makes me wonder. You would get married at the game. Whatever that thing is. The hookah.

[Listener/Caller]

The smashing the glasses.

[John Holmberg]

It's crazy. I do my own yard work and then yell at myself for how much I charge, how long I've stayed on the property. Then I'm outrageously overpriced. He's not in Juicy. Brett.

[Brett Vesely]

That wasn't me.

[Listener/Caller]

It was Jason.

[John Holmberg]

Jason. He's not. And you were laughing and happy to pass it on.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, absolutely.

[John Holmberg]

Normally you print one and say you read it, but. Oh, you're thrilled to do that one out.

[Brady]

He's keeping that for himself.

[John Holmberg]

That's. Oh, that's a breath.

[Brett Vesely]

I knew you would have cut the juicy.

[John Holmberg]

I would have been equally as annoyed by that. But you just decided to just pitch yourself your own ball.

[Brett Vesely]

I want some editing there.

[John Holmberg]

Like in the fifth grade. He's like, ah. Brett fastly steps to the plate. You just put the wiffle ball up top the Tee o'.

[Brady]

Brien.

[John Holmberg]

Brett fastly. Anyway, everybody's a big perp wants to go with you. You could do a diversity program and actually get protection.

[Listener/Caller]

I think we've met. Big perp.

[John Holmberg]

He said we meet up in El Centro. He'll meet you. He'll meet you in El Centro, which is nowhere. Like that's so out of the way to go to Los Angeles.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Drive to El Centro, meet in Blythe.

[Listener/Caller]

Maybe come up through Orange county all the way to Hollywood.

[Brady]

Just look for the 84 Caprice.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Morning sickness. Holmberg's morning sickness. Said, tell Dick I'm in. I'll let him ride in the trunk just like his wife lets him. They drunk up and go. Said you could call Eric. He'll go with you. Oh, no, I don't think that would last long. No, I have an issue.

[Brady]

No, you're a good man, bro.

[Listener/Caller]

No alcohol allowed in the car.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, no. That would be the only way to make it work. Rochelle.

[Listener/Caller]

Who's that?

[John Holmberg]

Our preppy Gilbert. Her husband said he would like to go. Go.

[Listener/Caller]

I would take him.

[John Holmberg]

Well, he said he'd like to go.

[Listener/Caller]

Well, we gotta find out.

[John Holmberg]

Teacher that gets you rooms and the lights. What are you doing?

[Listener/Caller]

Well.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, I'll print it off.

[John Holmberg]

You're gonna take a listener?

[Listener/Caller]

God, no.

[John Holmberg]

He's a teacher who somehow has these. That doesn't add up.

[Listener/Caller]

That's what we need, more of the story.

[Brady]

The only thing gets me. It says a few. We could take a few days off.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he said a few days off from teaching. Yeah. Don't you book the flights? Because that dude might keep it till Friday. Right. Like, just rape you constantly.

[Listener/Caller]

There's a lot of stuff going around.

[John Holmberg]

Like just John Wayne Gacy. His name is Christian. And he, you know, he wants to drive you out there. I got connections with Hilton resorts. I can fly us and get us a room for free. You'd have to sleep with them.

[Brady]

Damn it.

[John Holmberg]

He must be real Dodgers.

[Listener/Caller]

Maybe get a separate room.

[John Holmberg]

Please let me take a few days off from teaching. I'm all for helping teachers. Not teach.

[Brett Vesely]

You should be, too.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Would you let your wife go if some. Some lady had World Series tickets and. Yeah.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah, right. She wanted to go.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. This is good stuff.

[Listener/Caller]

Problem is, my wife's just gonna remind me the whole time about how poor of a decision it was.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's bad.

[Listener/Caller]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

One of her own, though.

[Brett Vesely]

I mean, this is a good thing.

[John Holmberg]

Said I'd have Toledo come on my plane with me this morning, but I don't want to mucking up my private plane with his poorness. Hayden. I want to go. I like private planes. That was fun. All right, well, here's Christian's information. I think that's a good one, Rich. And you technically will get to cuck a World Series for your Mariners, which is kind of on point.

[Listener/Caller]

That's the worst part of it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You get. You get to the series. From a Mariner's point of view, you're not involved. But you're so close from the juicy. And you're in those juicy. Stop it.

[Listener/Caller]

You joined in.

[John Holmberg]

I know. I caught myself.

[Listener/Caller]

Jesus, Garcia.

[John Holmberg]

What about President John? President John says take me play. I got Cali connections. Yeah, I bet you do. Yeah, there you go.

[Listener/Caller]

I don't want to end up.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, go with him. And then hanging Bellflower or Compton.

[Listener/Caller]

I don't know if I can. I know he can.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he's. He knows a car you guys could sleep in, right, President John?

[Listener/Caller]

I see the six Four Impala.

[John Holmberg]

We're doing this. We're gonna make the pitches. But so far, leader in the clubhouse is dude with hotel and airfare.

[Brady]

That's gold.

[John Holmberg]

And then Thriller, of course, which is the upgrade. If you're crippled and you can get the upgrade from his not Jew seats into those handicapped rides.

[Listener/Caller]

Not bad seats.

[John Holmberg]

Every time. Every time I walk by handicapped seats at a sporting event, I'm like, lucky. You guys have the best lives. Thank you. It's pretty sweet.

[Listener/Caller]

And that's front row in right field.

[John Holmberg]

Well, they wouldn't put you in the right field pores.

[Brett Vesely]

No, you'd be crippled.

[John Holmberg]

And in the bleachers, there's a section. Just pour them onto the field and end it. That's the. The handicap. We're not putting you with a good handicap. You bought poor people tickets. But we should probably sit in the handicap section. Yeah, the poor people one.

[Brett Vesely]

Brandon offered to streak. He would streak on the field. You wouldn't have to ride back with him. So that'd be a good deal, right?

[John Holmberg]

Right. That's awesome. I mean, it's a long walk from your seats to this to the field to get all your clip. You might get caught on the way down. It's like 32 rows up. Yeah, from. No, from Toledo's seats.

[Listener/Caller]

It is a hike down to the front row.

[John Holmberg]

Brian Spangler, who's been removed from our events. Yeah. Says I can go. I'll find us a kick ass party after.

[Listener/Caller]

I'm too old for that.

[John Holmberg]

No, you're not.

[Listener/Caller]

Yes, I am.

[John Holmberg]

One of the world series with a daredevil. Why wouldn't you just join in for a night?

[Brett Vesely]

Christian said he can explain everything even better. And he teaches a Dobson too.

[John Holmberg]

He's a Dobson teacher, so he's not very smart. This. You could probably get some money out of this. Wow. All right. He's a Dobson teacher. Wonder what he teaches class.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Listener/Caller]

Metal shop, art.

[John Holmberg]

I hope it's art because then it would just be non stop commie talk. Everything should be free. Even though he's covering your bill, he's gonna make you feel terrible. And his hookups are probably some sort of weird.

[Listener/Caller]

There's. There's ties.

[John Holmberg]

Knit hat, throws paint on people who wear fur.

[Brett Vesely]

Got a sack in the parking lot ahead of time.

[Listener/Caller]

You're saying I got to wear a pussy riot hat?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you got to win. Hey, if the guys get in your room in a flight. Sure.

[Listener/Caller]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

I'll dress up like Al Qaeda.

[Listener/Caller]

Give me that pink hat.

[John Holmberg]

Anyway, ask Toledo if he Has World Series ticket money because he hasn't paid. Because he still hasn't paid for the Legos he owes us from eight or nine years ago. Signed a Lego store first of a long time ago.

[Listener/Caller]

Paid for everything out of the Lego store.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, just get that guy out of my state. The reason you're getting upset someone might get a ticket for free. Jew. No, I'm fine. I'm getting upset of nothing. Don't one of the. One of the members of the tribe to go sit in those poor people seats anyway. All right. This is good stuff. Who were you? Who did you have online if you were going to go anyways? Lisa. Going to have to. Then everybody just disrupts their entire lives here.

[Listener/Caller]

Had no idea.

[John Holmberg]

What about Rockefeller? He's blind. He doesn't even care where the seats are.

[Listener/Caller]

Is it enjoyable for him?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. You have to explain everything.

[Listener/Caller]

That's what I was. I don't know if I'm good at that.

[John Holmberg]

So I just spent the last two days in the hospital having kidney stones removed and I'm still kind of peeing everywhere. So if Toledo doesn't mind dragging randomly urinating blind man around, I'm up for this. Might even upgrade us to handicap and get me closer to a bathroom. Yeah, that's true because he's dripping blood out of his walking stick.

[Brett Vesely]

Tom said he'll pay for food and gas and you guys can talk politics the entire way there.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, see that? God, no, no, don't want that. It's too close to home. All right, well, the options are. I'm excited about this. I think this is fun. At 6:23. Let's get a gas.

[Listener/Caller]

We got to leave by like 11.

[John Holmberg]

That's fine. That's good. You'll be out of here by 11 and it's a five hour drive. Four and a half if you're doing it right.

[Listener/Caller]

Hop on a flight.

[John Holmberg]

You've run that 10 all the way in. It's easy. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

The trip. Hear from Dave yet? I mean, he still may need the tickets.

[John Holmberg]

I haven't heard. He was up awfully late.

[Listener/Caller]

Last see where Dave's wife was with Kershaw's wife?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Clayton Kershaw's wife. Isn't he got her in high school and hung on to it.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Surprised me. Me too. Like the Mike. Oh, rough. He's a hall of famer, but not getting to the hall of Fame for that.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah, well, he's from Oklahoma.

[John Holmberg]

She must be sweet. Yeah, that's Texas or Oklahoma. I didn't know that Matthew Stafford was the catcher on Clayton Kershaw's high school baseball team.

[Listener/Caller]

I didn't know that either.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, some podunk town it might have been. I think it's Nolan Ryan's. Same high school. I think they're from Texas.

[Listener/Caller]

They have the same beard.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they look almost like one's a young version together. Hype is the word for 6am well, she looks right there, but it's very.

[Listener/Caller]

That's like 15 years ago.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's a long time ago. They're very happy couple. But you, you know, I expected more. It's because, well, they showed Justin Herbert and he's with Madison Beer and then they showed Matthew Stafford and he's got that plastic manufactured piece of art. I think Clayton Kershaw's girlfriend's just like right off Little House on the Prairie. She's. She's pretty, but she's just normal. And I'm not used to seeing factory. I guess you're just not used to seeing normal people anymore. With celebrities, right? Clayton Kershaw is one of those guys, love or hate the Dodgers that you're just like, good for you, man. What? You know, he's just so likable. Like everything he does. You're like, this guy just seems like the best.

[Listener/Caller]

His Last appearance is one batter.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it was 14th inning and he just got the ground out. It was a great play. Oh, what a game last night. What a game. 6:25. Let's get a wake up song 585-9800 while we'll talk about getting one of you guys in Toledo's hands tonight and get into a world World Series tickets we're giving away. See how we just. We just took them. We just took them from Toledo. He didn't do anything with him. Well, you weren't doing anything. It's a full write off if you do this right. It's not if you just take your wife.

[Listener/Caller]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. So you get a listener in on this thing and this is great. All right, we'll talk about. And I'll probably get yelled at. So we needed 20 lawyers to talk about this before because spontaneity and R radio is dead. But I don't care. Fire me.

[Brett Vesely]

Apparently Brandon's willing to drive. He says I'm filling up the car right now. What snacks you want?

[John Holmberg]

You want to leave a little early? Yeah, we can meet him in person. Anybody willing to come pick Toledo up can roll right in. I hope one of those buses that drops people off wheels up here.

[Listener/Caller]

This is such a crapshoot Christopher says.

[John Holmberg]

This has to be the most amount of people that have ever wanted to voluntarily and willingly hang out with Toledo. Wait for that. Soak it up. MFer. Yeah.

[Listener/Caller]

This is the kind of adulation you want.

[John Holmberg]

He doesn't want to go with it. He just wanted to point out you've never been exactly the pick of the litter before. But we will waive those adoption fees if he's right for you. 585-9800 is the phone number. Give us a Wake up song, we'll scream it together. It's 98 KUPD. Wake up.

[Listener/Caller]

It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fees.

[John Holmberg]

I have heard enough of this.
