Episode Overview

This episode of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness is a classic example of irreverent, off-the-rails morning radio banter. The crew riffed on current events, local culture, edgy humor, old candies, social hypersensitivity, and more. Their signature unfiltered, quick-witted style is on full display as they dissect everything from controversial celebrity language, dumb Halloween candy, and neighborhood fall festivals, to nuclear weapons testing. Sports talk, weird news stories, and outrageous personal anecdotes round out another rapid-fire morning on Arizona’s #1 show.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Stacks, Phoenix Traffic, and Local Lingo

• The show opens with Holmberg and team riffing on confusing local freeway nicknames (“mini stack,” “maxi stack”), traffic woes, and the perils of miscommunication via hyperlocal references.
  • Quote: “I’ve lived here a long time. I don’t know what you're talking about. It’s foreign. It’s like you’re speaking Cobalt, man. Numbers, buddy, numbers.” – John (04:02)

---

2. Hypersensitivity, Controversial Language, and Cancel Culture

• The team discusses recent media controversies, including Kid Rock using the “R word” on Jesse Watters’ show, and how the outrage not only targets those who say offensive things, but those who don’t publicly react with moral outrage.
  • Talk of people getting into trouble for laughing at “bad words” or awkward moments, referencing both Kid Rock’s and Love Island’s recent dust-ups.
  • Holmberg’s take: “If we start getting in trouble for laughing at other people saying terrible things, well, that’s what this whole show is based on… Why do we have comedy clubs anyway?” – John (06:43)
  • Noting the absurdity of expecting moral “performances” for every offense, peril to comedy in general, and the dangers of social policing.

---

3. Music, Gilbert Moms, and the Slang Epidemic

• Storytime about explicit rap music at a white-bread Gilbert tennis court, and mom-daughter pairs in Gilbert dressing identically and “attention-seeking” at local events, leading to a broader riff on local parenting trends.
  • Quote: “Both dressed like whores. They like it. The attention is... and they're just on their phones the whole time. Didn’t watch a blip of basketball last night.” – John (25:30)
• Chronicling generational slang wars: parents reclaiming slang (“6-7”) to ruin it for their kids, a la “Daisy Duke shorts dad” story.

---

4. Neighborhood Fall Festivals & Pie Contest Drama

• Brady shares misadventures at his neighborhood’s “storm drain pie contest.” Suburbia gossip, pie judging intrigue, and the comedy of awkward neighborly competition.
  • Quote: “At a certain point, you’re like, you’re pretty much clogging up my road for this. Oh, I’d move before I’d go to another one.” – John (29:30)

---

5. Greek Festival: Local Pet Peeves and Music Rants

• Strong, comedic complaints from John about Greek festivals (“smells like feta, smells like ruddy food”), Greek music, and parking lot carnivals.
  • “It’s the candy corn of instruments. It only shows up once a year, and you don’t really like it, but you just tolerate it.” – John (30:14)

---

6. Halloween & Candy Deep-Dive

• Long nostalgic and critical discussion of retro candies (Chico Sticks, Necco Wafers, candy cigarettes, wax lips, nickel nips), why some survived and others didn’t.
• Bizarre listener emails about “chicken sticks” (a typo for “Chico Sticks”), highlighting the show’s interactive absurdity.
  • “You get those flat nips, nobody likes those Nick L. Nips.” – John (45:31)

---

7. Strange News & Listener Letters

• The show veers through a series of odd news stories:
  • Escapee STD-monkeys in New Orleans and the logic of shooting them: “You tell me there are primates running free with STDs? Yeah, and I’m a cop—that’s my job.” – John (59:23)
  • Take-your-daughter-to-work stories, including a wild account of a brain surgeon letting her 12-year-old drill a patient’s skull.

---

8. Trump, Nukes & American Spectacle

• Extended satirical predictions about Trump reintroducing nuclear weapons testing—and the entire thing being turned into a public, ticketed event in Nevada.
  • “You’d be blown away.” – John (79:11)
  • The idea: nuke testing as reality TV/showmanship, joking that he’d nuke Epstein Island or Tucson for crowd spectacle.
• Riffs about where to drop the nuke: Portland? Jamaica? Humorous, but layered with social commentary.

---

9. Bow Wow Wow, Annabella Lwin, & 80s Nostalgia

• A spontaneous tangent on the lead singer of Bow Wow Wow (‘I Want Candy’)—discovering she was only 13–15 when the hit came out, and reflecting with discomfort on 80s pop culture.
  • “I can’t watch that video anymore. She looks like she’s 30 in that thing.” – John (82:43)

---

10. Old Man Gripes, Happiness Scale & Office Dynamics

• Topping the latter part of the show: comedic takes on happiness surveys, people annoyingly high on the scale, and the office personalities (with frequent ribbing of co-workers).
  • “You can be moderately OK, but the second you start telling everyone you’re a 9, you’re just not paying attention to the world.” – John (98:06)

---

Notable Quotes/Memorable Moments

[Eric]

Holmberg's morning sickness.

[John Holmberg]

The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Thursday. This week is blowing by. It is 5:45 this. It's the morning sickness. My name is John Holmberg. How are you? There's Brady. There's Brett wandering in. There's big dick Toledo. Off we go for a glorious Thursday morning here in paradise. Perfect morning out there. Absolutely stunning. Get out, Wander around. I was down at the H and H ranch and they drove in. That car accident on the i10 is no joke. I don't know if it's cleared out yet, but the one heading west right there at the mini stack. I've lived here for a thousand years, and I don't know which stack. There's the big. The maxi stack. The mini. I don't know what.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[John Holmberg]

It's that one stack. The other stack.

[Brady Bogan]

Woof.

[John Holmberg]

That stack is. But this is the mini stack.

[Brett Vesely]

But the medium stack, there's a.

[John Holmberg]

There's a. Yeah, there's a moderate stack, like pancakes stack.

[Brady Bogan]

That's just right.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. We got pancake freeways. I don't know where the mini stack, mini stack is. The one where the 200, 2 and 10 kind of merge and then the stack is the 17. Okay.

[Eric]

All right.

[Brett Vesely]

The one right after the tunnel.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

I think it's a big stack.

[John Holmberg]

It's a lot of stacks. But that little mini stack. Had I driving by, there's a lot of looky loose heading east, looking over into the west lanes to see why there's no cars over there. And then you find that, you know, see all the cops, their cameras set up and like, oh, boy, somebody didn't make it. So it's. It's no joke. It's probably all cleared out by now, hopefully. I was on there about a little over an hour ago, so it was not good. So be careful. And always a reminder to be careful.

[Brady Bogan]

It's a pain when the stack is packed.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

When the stack is backed up, you can't, you know, you got to get back to the stack just flowing. I don't know. Every time I see that, I'm like, which is the stack? Which is the mini stack? The Baby Stack. Just call it the 202 and 10. We'll get it then. I remember when I first started in radio, the traffic guy's name was Dennis McBroom. And I throw it to Dennis and he'd be like, two car pile up on the Red Mountain Freeway and then over on the old Western Shindig Freeway like he had. Every one of them had a long terms. And I'm like, Dennis, I gotta tell you, man, I've. I've lived here a long time. I don't know what you're talking about. It's foreign. It's like you're speaking Cobalt, man. That's what I mean. I'm like numbers, buddy, numbers. Nobody, nobody says, you know, you take the Red Mountain Freeway to fit you. I don't know what that is. The Maricopa Freeway. Red Mountain Freeway. The, the.

[Brady Bogan]

Back in that day, the 51 was.

[John Holmberg]

Called squaw peeking at Mountain Parkway. That's what I told him. Whore Mountain Parkway would have been. Now, I know you want me to remember the names of the freeways, you better start giving them fun names like Horror Mountain or R Word Way. And speaking. We're getting into a dangerous area here. Brady just talked about this to me off there. And there's another thing going on where now if you laugh at or don't respond properly to somebody saying a word that other people don't like, you can get in trouble. Jesse Waters getting a little heat. Two people from the show Love island are in trouble because what Jesse do. Well, Jesse had Kid Rock on and Kid Rock said the R word. Not Redskins.

[Brett Vesely]

No, the other.

[John Holmberg]

The retarded. Okay, Jesse Waters didn't.

[Brady Bogan]

The hat he was wearing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he said, yeah, he said, your hat is a little. And he said, yeah, I know, I look a little bit retarded. And Jesse Water goes, jesse, you can't call yourself retarded. And then.

[Brady Bogan]

So he got a letter from the President. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Special Olympics said, you're not even qualified, basically, is what they were saying to Kid Rock, which is sort of offense. You are not, not going to be in the Special Olympics anytime soon. And I would argue that Kid Rock might pass the test on a couple of occasions of getting in there. So Jesse Waters, though, and Kid Rock said it. Jesse Waters didn't clutch his pearls and storm off the set. So they're getting mad at him for not losing his mind. The two people on Love island heard somebody call a couple of contestants the N word and they, and they laughed. And one of them is a black guy and he Laughed. And they're like, why'd you laugh at that? He's like, what? That was just a really. And then another one. I think the other girl that left was white. She goes. It was really. I think she said, hella awkward. Which makes me hate her anyway. But it was. It was awkward. And it would be. If Brett and I standing there and somebody bangs out the end bomb, and we're just adjacent to it, two of us are gonna be like, there's. We're gonna laugh. And it's not like, this is great. It's a laugh. Like, oh, what's gonna happen? It's uncomfortable. If we start getting in trouble for laughing at other people saying terrible things. Well, that's what this whole show's based on. I'm in trouble if other people saying terrible things gets people who laugh at it in trouble. Why do we have comedy clubs anyway? Why do we have rap music? I giggle at some of the stuff that happens in those songs because Doja Cat. Doja Cat's hilarious. She says that thing. Go ahead, listen to a couple of Doja Cat. What's the one that we always talk about? I can't remember. S ain't. Yeah. Ain't. S word.

[Brett Vesely]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

And it takes you by surprise when you first pop that on your stereo. It's hilarious. She's basically mad at every guy that's ever dated her. And she's. She's like, these. This.

[Brett Vesely]

Tell them how it is.

[John Holmberg]

She says, I'll replace the N word with gentlemen. But she says, gentlemen ain't all up in your crib. All up in your fridge. Gentlemen ain't. And you sit and go, oh, she's mad at somebody.

[Eric]

That.

[John Holmberg]

That's funny.

[Brady Bogan]

On Monday, Kirby had a tennis lesson.

[John Holmberg]

Good Lord, she did it.

[Brady Bogan]

The court next door, two young girls, Gilbert's finest, are hitting tennis balls. And those songs are blazing. They had a speaker out there.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, man. It's in Gilbert A Tennis.

[Brady Bogan]

Almost.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. That's hilarious. It's funny.

[Brady Bogan]

White as can be.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Gilbert tennis clubs.

[Brady Bogan]

I've never heard so many N bombs.

[John Holmberg]

And you can't help it.

[Brady Bogan]

And they had it, you know, you could hear it, you know. Six quarts.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Well, look away. If I hear that, I'm laughing because I'm uncomfortable. Especially first off, if I'm at Gilbert Tennis Facility for Teens. I'm already looking for other stuff to do, and I'm. If the music happens to be catchy and there's a lot of slurs in it, I'm looking around at everybody else and I'm laughing at their reaction. I'm not laughing at the word.

[Brady Bogan]

It was very entertaining.

[John Holmberg]

Kid Rock can't say he looks like the R word, which is a thing. It's a real thing. It doesn't mean he was Kid Rocks on our word. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying. Brett's following. Brett's following the ball. Yeah, I mean, the guy is one. So if he. I mean, what happens if you ask somebody who's got the thing and you say, what's going on with you? And they're like, oh, I'm with hard. I'm like, ah, how dare you? Then you have to storm away. Even if they are actually the R word. It's a word. It's a real thing. He wasn't doing it to disparage others. He was doing it to say, yeah, I look a little bit like, you know, I might not have my full mental capabilities. That's when I have this hat on. That's not as funny as saying I look like an R word. Although maybe it would be if you delivered it properly. Either way, we can't start getting mad at each other for what other people are saying, can we? Good. Christ, we're out of work.

[Brady Bogan]

Good to know that letters are still coming in too. You get an actual letter last night.

[John Holmberg]

At the Rah Rah Room? I. I. A couple people were very uncomfortable. There's a lady named Susan there. I was at the Sunscape. My buddy Anthony, and we're talking, and Susan is a. She's a waitress there. We. She waited on you and I once. Oh, yeah. She's got her hair pulled back so tight that it looks like her. Her head's gonna pop off. I don't know how she lives like that. Like, her head is tighter than mine, and I don't have any hair. Like, it is. It's tight, tight, tight. But it works, you know? And she comes up and she goes, hey, I haven't seen you for, like. She took the whole, like, off season off. So it's been. She said, I haven't been here since the last NBA game. And I'm like, yeah. And I said, we were here a couple times for concerts and didn't see and wondered if you'd quit. And she goes, no, I had to go to rehab. And I laughed and I said, whore rehab. But I hadn't realized that she'd already walked away. So I just turned to no one and said that out loud. And other people looked at me like, what? Like, sorry, it looked like I Had yelled at a woman who was wandering away from me. Whore rehabbed. Yeah. And I just told the lady next to me. I'm like, it's a drink. I wanted a drink. It's called the whore rehab. But it made other people uncomfortable. If we're start turning each other in for stuff. You don't even know why I was saying that. Heck, Susan didn't even hear it. Whore rehab's funny because it, like, if it was there, there'd be, like, a line around the block of dudes, like, just waiting for whore rehab to open up. Oh, that was the best. 28 days I'm cured of whore. And then the door swings open, and it's just like, the paparazzi. Hey, baby, how you doing? Welcome. Hey, back to society, eh? Yeah, they're all from the 20s.

[Brady Bogan]

Did you hear that bald guy yesterday talking about sex addiction, shouting out horri.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I know who he is. He works at that kupd. He says terrible stuff a lot. And he said he just screamed at a woman. Whore rehab. Like that's what she needed. That's not what it's called. Sex addiction's very real. So are whores. I'm not saying she was one, but I was laughing at it. She's the one who made the rehab joke. Isn't that making fun of drug addicts and alcoholics? Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

We should write a letter.

[John Holmberg]

I'm gonna write a letter to Mr. Rah Rah, and I'm gonna put a stop to all these terrible conversations that I'm having. You know, it's like a reunion back in that thing. Anyway, we were down there just goofing around. I'm like, let's get out of here, Anthony. I just screamed whore rehab in the middle of a restaurant. Can't. Can't be doing that kind of stuff. Someday I'll learn. I don't know if I ever will, to be honest, but someday I'll try and learn. But if you hear somebody say, evidently the proper reaction is to lose your mind and start telling everybody they're stupid, that's the best thing to do, is to call people safe names. When you hear someone else say something terrible and, I don't know, everybody else doesn't react properly and actually, Max says he was saying his Halloween costume was going to be wearing a Covid mask and he was going to go as a retard. That was Kid Rocks. I didn't see it. I just heard that Jesse Waters is in trouble because Kid Rock made that rather great comment. It's funny. It's kind of hilarious. Yeah. What are you gonna be for Halloween, Covid? I'm gonna wear a Covet mask and go as a retard. All right, I'm laughing now. I'm in trouble. That's. I don't want that to be. I'm writing a letter. Yeah. How do you get angry at that? And what are you watching Fox News for if you're. That. That you're gonna get mad? Like that's gonna make that. That channel makes everybody mad. Eventually, Kid Rock and Jesse Waters talking. Eventually one of them's gonna say something that has got to be uncomfortable to somebody. Yeah, you're. You're asking for it. If you're in charge of the Special Olympics, don't watch any Kid Rock interviews ever. Don't watch Kid Rock. Don't listen to a saba with taba. That's what half of your athletes are singing as they're running. Okay, I've gone too far. At least that's what it sounds like when they run their lips. You can't help it. I. When I run, I sound like that. I can barely came up the.

[Brady Bogan]

With the song.

[John Holmberg]

That could be it. He might have been at one of the events and, like, what are they saying? And then it just happened that way. Anyway, be careful, because now you can evidently get in big trouble for that. But, yeah, if you're in charge of something like the Special Olympics, don't watch Kid Rock's interviews. Don't. Just don't. There's no better advice I can give. Always got to be mad at some. Everybody's always going to be mad at something. Life would be so much easier if you just go, kid Rock's a dick. And then turn it and it's over. Because now I didn't watch it. I'm not sitting there staring at Jesse Waters show every day. But now I know about it. And people like me are dangerous when you get to know that kind of stuff. Because I won't. I won't stop telling people. You see that? That's pretty funny. You could have let it go. You bring ATT attention to it. And is anyone at all surprised that Kid Rock uses the R word?

[Brady Bogan]

No.

[John Holmberg]

No. So we're trying to stop Kid Rock. You know what you're gonna do when you try to stop Kid Rock from saying that? Make him say it a lot more. Because he's. He's fearless and he doesn't. He's not owned by anyone. That's the most dangerous kind of person. He's got enough. He's Got enough money off of the BA with Taba and the other stuff that he did in that song with Sheryl Crow. And he's gonna be all right for a long time. And now he doesn't have to answer to anyone. So aside from dressing up as a Nazi or just dropping N bombs, which. Mm, wouldn't really surprise me either. He's not afraid of the Special Olympics being mad at him. It's what? Is he gonna not get tickets to the big event?

[Eric]

He wouldn't.

[John Holmberg]

He wasn't going to anyway. People like Kid Rock need to be stopped. You're making it worse. Just keep saying it, and you're gonna make it worse.

[Brady Bogan]

Would tough guy use it at our event? Our Olympics?

[John Holmberg]

He wouldn't go there. He's not gonna be there. If he's there, he's a contestant. He's finally admitted it.

[Brett Vesely]

There's no strippers or Bud Light there.

[John Holmberg]

He's not going. Is the Bud Light. He's back on the Bud Light.

[Eric]

I think so.

[John Holmberg]

I think so. Yeah. He might be a Coors guy.

[Brady Bogan]

He did welcome it back.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You know he likes it. Good. You couldn't keep those two apart very long. Even a spokesperson couldn't keep Kid Rock from wrapping his lips around that. Anyway, I think I got it. That was the interview.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. If I can. If the computer sides.

[Brady Bogan]

I just remember seeing the picture of him and his hat.

[John Holmberg]

I want to see Jesse Waters reaction that people are mad at him. Like, and that's the thing. They can't get mad at. At Kid Rock. So they have to get. So my whole family is doing Scooby Doo. My son's gonna be Scooby Doo. I'm Shaggy. So I'm gonna kind of dress like you. Big baggy clothes, long hair. I'm just gonna have a little flask while I walk around there. You go undercover, bro. Guess what I'm gonna be. What? Guess what I'm gonna be Fauci. Then Waters died laughing because they can't get mad at Kid Rock with his Jesus hat on. He's got a hat says Jesus on with the fish. Of course. That's the. Okay. Ah, Silly. He's got a hat that loves the Lord, and then he calls himself an R. Word. This is exactly. Look.

[Brett Vesely]

That's the funniest Kid Rock's been.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Like, ever. He had no sense of humor when Toledo interviewed him. Toledo and him did not get along. Walked in and asked him a couple questions. And Bob says to Toledo, is this how it's gonna be the whole time? Cause I had written some rather puzzling questions. I ain't got time for this. Toledo's like yeah, that's pretty much it. And he goes yeah. And he left. Toledo was just standing there by himself cause Bob Richie didn't wanna talk to Dick Toledo, which makes it even better. But eh, what are you gonna do? Yeah, that's not something. And Jesse in trouble is silly. So be careful out there. I miss the good old days when we could all yell that at each other and everybody just be like I didn't like that. And then you moved on with your life. Now you don't like something and you scream and yell it on social media and you try to get full organizations in your corner. Of course, what do you expect? Like when you say, oh my God, you hear Kid Rock said the R word and then the president of the Special Olympics has to react if stop watching him.

You get that 6:00 clock word in there and you qualify and you might win yourself a thousand bucks. We're starting early, we're starting off, and we're getting this done. And I'm supposed to do this. I've been bad about this. I didn't know, but I. Hold on. I'll find the page eventually. Supposed to say who the winners are.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah. Oh, that's a good idea.

[John Holmberg]

No, that's my fault. It was 100. My fault.

[Brady Bogan]

Grand going out too.

[John Holmberg]

I cannot seem. There it is.

[Brady Bogan]

Maybe. Maybe we didn't.

[John Holmberg]

There you go. Eric Parsons, who emailed us, and Ryan Alvarez got a thousand bucks. So we're handing out money to those two right away. We'll get another winner shortly and we'll throw that name on that list as well. So congratulations to Eric and Ryan and maybe one of you guys this morning if you get that thing in there. Check is the word at 6am so hop on that thing. Get her done. I remember about a month ago or so. Oh, this one's. Damn it. Scott Haynes just texted and he's mad and he said, I forgot to tell you guys have been disqualified from ever appearing at the midget tossing events I host for making fun of me. That's right. Scott's a very small man and he's well known for his midget tossing events where he is the. He's the star.

[Brady Bogan]

He's got the record.

[John Holmberg]

Not allowed to do that. I've always found that funny that. That's. I've said this before, but I. I feel like the only slurs that. I mean, little people have the argument that they hate that word. And us bigs are like, what are you going to do about it? Like, we don't. We don't really care that they get upset about it. We only get upset when we could get our ass kicked. You know, nobody's ever been. I don't think anybody's ever been fired for dropping that M bomb. You try to say M word. It's too close. Sounds like you called him the M word. The N word. No, no, the M word.

[Eric]

All right.

[John Holmberg]

That's too much. Just midget. No, we're not mad at that. Is he gonna fight you? Because I'd like to watch that poor Guy. Sorry. Scott, your people have been through so much.

[Brady Bogan]

Do they still use that as a racing car term?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, midget cars.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. It's a good question.

[Brett Vesely]

I think so. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Do they. They don't call them little.

[Brady Bogan]

Little cars.

[John Holmberg]

Little. Little cars, little people car racing. They're just. Yeah, I forgot about that. That's true.

[Brett Vesely]

Wikipedia. Midget car racing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Didn't they have midget peewee football, too? Like midget. Like when the. That was when I was thinking. Yeah, but they had midget league and then pee wee and then something else.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, really?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. That might have just been a West Virginia thing. Not shocking. Anyway, I don't know what's going on, but I just know that 6, 7 is something you can say constantly.

[Brady Bogan]

Word of the year.

[John Holmberg]

Word of the [e-mail]. congratulations to 6, 7 again. About a month ago, I went on a tirade about six, seven, and it was the same week, like a week after south park did the exact same show. It's like I wrote it and went on. And then you watched the South Park. I'm like, well, that's everything I just said. All the jokes are the same. Where did you guys get that? And it's because it was. And then you got to keep it. So making it the dictionary word of the year, even though it's two words, kind of our word. And then.

[Brett Vesely]

Watch it.

[John Holmberg]

I know. And then we know. You watch it. I can say it. You get in trouble for not responding properly and. Yeah. So then you make adults have to say that it's cool. So dictionary.com making it cool. And us saying six, seven to each other. Parents, this is on you. I said it over a month ago. Put it in the. Parents. Six, seven. Your kids, when you say, goodnight, honey. Six, seven. Stop it, you guys. That's ours. They're gonna hate it. Hate it. They're gonna look at you and go, they stole our six, seven. And then some idiot will come up with seven, eight. Because six seven means just as little as anything else. Then they'll try 7, 8. Parents. You don't like it, you do it. Remember years ago that brilliant dad that was tired of his daughter wearing those Daisy Duke shorts? And he's like, you're. And she's like, I can do this if I want, dad. He's like. So he put them on and took her to school and had his ass hanging out of these Daisy Dukes. And I don't know if that girl wore them again ever. And he said, every time you wear them, I'm gonna wear them. You're right. These are great. Stop it, dad. Which is why I don't understand how Gilbert works. Most kids hate when their moms think something's cool. But moms and Gilbert work so hard to look and dress just like their daughters that I feel bad for teenagers in Gilbert because they got to try to shake their mom because mom's looking.

[Brady Bogan]

At them top their mom sometimes.

[John Holmberg]

Sometimes? Well, no, no, they're trying, but there's.

[Brett Vesely]

Hands and everything else those moms are rolling around with.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, but they're wearing all the same clothes, and no kid wants to be dressed like their mother. But moms do that. Gilbert's the worst. You go out to Gilbert and you're like, oh, my God, She's. She thinks she looks 17. She just looks ridiculous. It was in full force last night at the Suns game. That's turned into the Phoenix Open in the biggest way. Like, these women are going to. Together. No dudes with them. And they're dressed up like they're going to Scottsdale bars after the Open. I'm like, what is going on here? And then you start looking. You're like, that's a mother and her daughter. And they're both. Both dressed like horse. And they. They like it. The attention is. And they're just on their phones the whole time. Didn't watch a blip of basketball last night.

[Brady Bogan]

Last night was the Fall festival, John.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, did you get to go into the storm drain? Nice.

[Brady Bogan]

Did not judge the pie eating the.

[John Holmberg]

First year that the storm drain pie eating contest did not fall in your lap. Oh, did you tell everybody that? You would love to, but.

[Brady Bogan]

Yes, I said I can, but I can't do the. You know, there are. There are 11 entries this year.

[John Holmberg]

Dietary restrictions.

[Brady Bogan]

What I could do is, if the judges come down to the final two, I'll taste the. Oh, you're going to decide the winner.

[John Holmberg]

That's big. Yeah.

[Eric]

Was it that.

[John Holmberg]

Who was that lady who made that horrible apple pie last year?

[Eric]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Was she there?

[Brady Bogan]

I forget her name.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it's easy to forget. She's got no creativity sister. Yeah. She might as well get a job as a radio executive. She's so uncreative.

[Brady Bogan]

But there is one, and then the other lady that always puts in at least two pies. She's.

[John Holmberg]

She won again. What flavor was the winner in your storm drain pie contest? That's. Annual storm drain pie eating contest that Brady goes to.

[Brady Bogan]

There's a couple of different versions of apple pies. There's an apple crumble.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

An apple pie.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And you just had to walk around there.

[Brady Bogan]

I just had to. I just circled the table like a shark.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but a shark with its jaw wired shut. You and what one?

[Brady Bogan]

Don't know.

[John Holmberg]

You don't even know. You had to get out of there. Masturbate, like, immediately. I gotcha. I can't stick around for this. Oh, my God.

[Brady Bogan]

Sorry.

[John Holmberg]

I made on your pie. So he was just. Who was the judge?

[Brady Bogan]

Four people I didn't recognize. One guy had his iPhone out making. He was notes taking.

[John Holmberg]

No, he's taking it seriously. Not like you just tasting walks. The Brady's a professor. He doesn't need to do too.

[Brady Bogan]

Because they're taking a piece of each. I'm like, you're not gonna make it. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You weren't coaching. It's a bite of pie per pie. Then you go back and eat a slice of your fave. You were driven nuts. Were any of them, like, did you look at him and go, he used to be me. There's a little portly 30 year old.

[Brady Bogan]

There's a lady I didn't know standing next to me. She's making a couple comments. And next thing you know, we're both.

[John Holmberg]

Making comments about how the judges suck.

[Brady Bogan]

They're just not doing it right.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Was she a portly woman?

[Brady Bogan]

And I go, I bet you a couple of these judges are greased right now.

[Eric]

You think they were.

[John Holmberg]

They were taking payouts.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. Lita Olson.

[John Holmberg]

What do you get out of the. The storm drain pie eating contest? What is like the. What's the.

[Brady Bogan]

Usually it's like a gift certificate.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no, no, I'm saying, like, as a. As a person who attends. Is it just to hobnob with neighbors?

[Brett Vesely]

God, who wants to do that?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it sounds awful.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. You mean though, the reason why they can't have the bounce house? Yeah, yeah. It's just in a dunking booth this time.

[John Holmberg]

God. So it's a Pratt event.

[Brady Bogan]

No, nothing.

[John Holmberg]

Hello. There's a. Nothing can be worse than that. That's true. That sounds terrible. And it's well attended, I'm sure, because if you don't go pretty well attended, you're whispered about. For that becomes the Brett and John of the neighborhood. They don't attend any of the functions. And then the gossip in the neighborhood gets going, people. And like, you and that fat lady were talking about the judges and that's pretty good.

[Brady Bogan]

She wasn't fat.

[John Holmberg]

Well, the way we were making fun of other judges.

[Brady Bogan]

She's a full figured guy.

[John Holmberg]

All right. See, that's What I'm talking about. Well done.

[Eric]

That's right.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Either way. Yeah, that's fun. Brady's going to that. What, every year for 10 years or so, you've been the judge and now somebody else has to do it.

[Brady Bogan]

19 years of fall festivals and only. Yeah, about 10 of them were the judges.

[John Holmberg]

You've gone to it 19 years in a row.

[Brady Bogan]

How long I've been.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but you go every year. At a certain point, you're like pretty much clogging up my road for this. Oh, I'd move before I'd go to another one. They have that Greek festival in my neighborhood every year at that. Yeah, I might go to that nightmare. And Greeks. I've said it. Every year. The music you people like, you're wrong. It's worse than reggae and 311 combined.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, that should be event you should go to because, you know, your nose would be small.

[Eric]

I would look.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, average.

[John Holmberg]

I would look like I had a. I had some rhinoplasty before the big Greek off. Oh, and it's just like he's got a cute nose. Every year it just clogs up the neighborhood clogs up and smells like feta, smells like ruddy food. And then that weird instrument that no one ever plays outside of Greek festivals, which tells you exactly what you need to know. It's useless. It's the candy corn of instruments. It only shows up once a year and don't really like it, but you just tolerate it. It's the fruitcake of.

[Brady Bogan]

Are they breaking plates there at all?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. I've never been. I'm not going to it. Have you? The music is so awful. Authentic Greek music. And it goes through the whole neighborhood. The church is a. I don't know, half mile, maybe less than that for my house. And it's just pomping, man. It is just from 5 o' clock until 11. It's the worst. Did you find any this crap? No, this is. This is just. This is absorbing the Greek or something, isn't it?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, that's what it is.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

This one's already.

[Brady Bogan]

This one's jamming out.

[John Holmberg]

Recognizable. Oh, they're definitely.

[Brady Bogan]

Every 45 minutes.

[John Holmberg]

I think they have to play this every once in a while. This is like dance like a pop. Yeah, this one makes sense. But then they get into that weird. Whatever that festa. Now, these are instruments I recognize. It still isn't good, but. And it's one year and it's live music.

[Eric]

I don't know what it is.

[John Holmberg]

I Don't know what. It sounds like somebody's just like trying to strangle a. Like a chicken or something. Sounds like if you got Bruce St. James from KTAR falling down a cliff. That's Greek music. It's awful. Yeah, I couldn't do it. I don't like. I like events that are. I don't like Bush league park neighborhood.

[Brady Bogan]

That's a major league event there.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, and it. Yeah, and it's not, though. It's. It's, you know, bounce houses and really little roller coasters. It's in a stage. It's awful.

[Brady Bogan]

Would you like it to be more, like authentic where, you know, new naked games?

[John Holmberg]

Well, no, but now that you bring it up.

[Brady Bogan]

Greek Olympics.

[John Holmberg]

You went Greek Olympic. This is in there. But instead of that guitar, it's. It's whatever instrument they're honking into. Sounds like the Star wars cantina when they get going. Oh, it's awful. And then they just start slopping that lamb meat onto everything. And then everything's got olives. It stinks. The Greeks are wrong. Their music, it's. It's the. It's like what Jewish music sounds like, only worse.

[Brett Vesely]

Wow.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. But I don't like bargain basement parking lot.

[Brady Bogan]

You don't like a parking lot hero?

[John Holmberg]

I don't like. Well, I don't.

[Eric]

Nope.

[John Holmberg]

No, sir. I don't like parking lot carnivals. I don't. And I don't want, you know, put.

[Brady Bogan]

That leg up there and shave it.

[John Holmberg]

And there's flies. It's an Indian bazaar. You're outside and you're. They've got the meat on a. That's just hanging off the duck. I don't know what that instrument is with Greek music. They're wrong. This one says it's like.

[Brady Bogan]

Like a clarinet maybe or something.

[John Holmberg]

No, it's like. It's like if Michael J. Fox started the clarinet. That's what it sounds like.

[Brett Vesely]

This.

[John Holmberg]

It sounds. Yeah, there it is. Oh, it's never. Is that a clarinet? I think it's like an oboe or something. That's it. It sounds like an orchestra tuning up. And this goes on for four and hours every October for three days. Yeah, three days, man. They're wrong. The Middle east listens to this and goes, what are you doing? Why that thing there? It is.

[Eric]

That's.

[John Holmberg]

Whatever that is. It might be a clarinet or some sort of French horn or something. I don't know what the hell that thing is. They lose their mind and it's never ending. It's the same once they go with the guy goes on and goes, okay, get ready for six hours of uninterrupted nonsense. And then they just go.

[Eric]

Fried cheese for everybody.

[Brady Bogan]

It's like a modified harmonica, I think.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know what it is. Awful. And it is. It starts slow and then they start running in circles and it goes that. Dude, it's awful.

[Eric]

Got here.

[John Holmberg]

It's that thing that I have to go in the house.

[Brett Vesely]

Sounds like Kirby's band recital.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, and they always have this stupid festival right as the weather's nice enough to have your windows open. Then they attack the inside of your house.

[Brady Bogan]

You got the smell of oranges and flaky.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know what that is, but probably awful. What is that? Are you trying to make me have anxiety attacks? Text now my wife. That's awful. Yeah, I don't like those. I don't like neighborhood gatherings with local Greek bands and pies made from home. Have you guys seen that meme going around of says, this is why no one should eat at a potluck. And the lady's cutting the carrots with her mouth. I think I sent it to you guys.

[Brady Bogan]

Yes, I've seen that.

[John Holmberg]

Cuz that's how people do it. Gross. And then you got the gyro thing. That's just disgusting. Anyway, it's called the. Oh, the instrument has a name called Greek Aeolus. It's a Greek Aeolus. And James says Kid Rock says that Greek music is like Italian music only played by retards. Okay, that's enough of that. I'm not allowed to boo to you. James supposed to get angry at you for saying that.

[Brady Bogan]

I forgot there the pan flute too. But that's.

[John Holmberg]

They're into that. It's the Middle east and we accept it.

[Brett Vesely]

Let's see what the next Hitler is.

[John Holmberg]

Coming in at number five on the Greek top 40. What is that? What is going on? Is he having a seizure?

[Brett Vesely]

Hey, are you guys doing this tomorrow night?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we're gonna. If that guy's dead. Yes. To be happy. I can't take it. Everybody's like, you gotta go to that. And I'm like, A, I don't like olives. B, I don't like lamb. C, I don't like parking lot parties. D, am I done yet? Why are you saying I should? Oh, you would love it.

[Eric]

Would I?

[John Holmberg]

Hair lip at 6:18. Let's get ourselves a wake up song, shall we? 5, 8, 5, 9, 800. A good one as we wash away this. People flock to it though. So I'm in The minority on this, that deal, you get it to us good and strong, we'll scream it together. It's 98 Kup.

[Brady Bogan]

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

[John Holmberg]

I have heard enough of this. It's John Holmer here for game day. Men's health. Being in shape, it's not easy. In fact, it's not fun. The older you get, the harder it is to stay in shape. Excuses get in the way a lot of the times, but sometimes our bodies just stop cooperating. You don't produce the same way you did 10 years ago. And that's true no matter how old you are. But when you hit 50, forget it. You really feel the difference. But since I wasn't showing signs of gains with my workouts, we looked into peptides and I'm feeling a massive difference. Medically supervised, completely safe. My energy is great. If you think you need a little help like I did, just go to gamedaymen's health.com it's John Holmberg 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 nonstop. 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. Replaced. New acunit.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 sickness the old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Miles to nowhere. Thank you very much once again. And we're closing in on PlayDoh 20, 25, 26. So they've only got another month before they are the lame duck intro song. Until someone wins Playdio at the Thanksgiving week and writes us a new theme song for next year. And maybe it's Miles to Nowhere again. They could pop off and have another great one. We'll see. We shall see. I saw it's Halloween, obviously tomorrow and I have not thought about candy. All I'm doing is getting ready for Night of the Singing Dead and all that stuff. So I'm gonna be plopped down in a makeup chair getting my costume ready to go for tomorrow night. But everybody that hasn't like you go to stores and Stuff and the candy's everywhere. And it's the basics. We're down to the basics now. It's the Reese's Cup, Snickers, KitKats, can't lose Twix, that kind of stuff. They're variety bags. Yeah, yeah. Everybody knows you get to the tier twos with the, you know, you start getting into weirder stuff. The variety. Hershey's ones are good. Just plain old Hershey bar crackle.

[Brady Bogan]

Usually one sacrificial bar in there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I don't have one on the, in the Hershey pack. I'm fine with all of it. I know kids hate the special dark, but I got a special place in my heart for that dark chocolate. Oh yeah, you heard me. And then, then you get into like the Tier 3, which is the Milky Ways, Three Musketeers, the Nougat based ones. And then they have the ones that, you know, they always talk about bad ones and everybody knows what they are. This thing I saw was 1313 Old School Halloween treats that are unrecognizable to today's kids. Right. And I looked at this and I'm like, my God, thank God these were all gone. Remember the wax wrapped peanut butter kisses? I'll show. If I show you picture of it.

[Brady Bogan]

Black and white.

[Brett Vesely]

Terrible.

[John Holmberg]

They were brutal. Those are pretty much non existent.

[Brady Bogan]

Or actually it's orange and that's.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's what I said.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, I said black and red.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's orange.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Those are terrible.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Homemade popcorn balls. Obviously those are the homemade anything one I totally forgot about. And this thing brought up wax fangs. Remember wax wax lips and stuff? Evidently those are like only at specialty candy stores now. Like, you know, Peewee Herman, they had.

[Brett Vesely]

That, they had that juice or something in there.

[Brady Bogan]

Some sometimes it would and others it was like a chewy gum wax.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

And then this one. I don't know. If Brett ever got this, he'd still be on somebody's porch laughing. Right? This is hard for me to say. I'm gonna take it slow. Okay. There was a candy out there and I don't remember this at all. The Tootsie Roll people made nickel nips.

[Brady Bogan]

Picture those.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. N I K, L, N I P. Yeah. Nickel. I don't remember those. I gotta look that up.

[Brett Vesely]

Can I get those?

[John Holmberg]

You can handle that if you want. Nickel nips are. It's nickel nip. I'm adding an S to it. But it's nickel nip. And I don't, I don't know that ever got one of those but they're basically. It says. Oh, the wax. Little bottles. Yeah, they're bottles.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, I remember those.

[John Holmberg]

Yep. And they sold with the wax lips.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, the bottles are my note. I don't remember being called that.

[John Holmberg]

Will you get a nip off the bottle?

[Dale Hellstray]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And then they had the ones that were lips as well, but they did not call them Nickel lips.

[Brady Bogan]

Juicy lips.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

They have something else.

[Brady Bogan]

It's terrible.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you can't do that. You don't love Halloween for that. Let's stop it. You're supposed to eat the wax used for nickel nips. You're intended to bite through the wax and get to the sugary fruit flavored juice in the center. Then chew on the wax and get the rest of the flavor out before discarding. Yeah, it's. It was. It's. It was gross. Chico sticks. Nobody ever liked chico sticks. You. I think I ever had one.

[Brett Vesely]

They just looked gross.

[John Holmberg]

You were 90 if you liked those. Like only 90 year olds eat chico sticks. You can't eat them. Did you like them?

[Brady Bogan]

I had a few chico stuff.

[John Holmberg]

What did they taste like? We know you ate them all, but.

[Brady Bogan]

They'Re like the inside of a Clark Bar in a way. I had one buddy that just loved chico sticks.

[John Holmberg]

Was he 90? He was only people that like chicko sticks.

[Brady Bogan]

Fifth grade, he was already hitting progeria.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, Bernie. Happy Halloween. Had myself some chico sticks. Sugar babies. Which I never minded, but they were just kind of a poor man's Milk Duds.

[Brady Bogan]

Sugar baby. Sugar daddies.

[John Holmberg]

Sugar daddies were just.

[Brett Vesely]

Those were the sucker versions.

[John Holmberg]

Just rip your teeth out with every bite.

[Brett Vesely]

Dentists love them.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my God.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

If you had, I could never have register. I've got caramel containers. Oh, the veneers. My veneer teeth would just come right out if I was trying to eat one of those caramel apple pops. Not good. And then they had a couple of the more modern ones that came and went. Crabby patties. They had Sour Krabby Patties. Just a spongebob thing. And they got rid of those. And then of course, the. The two granddaddies of worst candies ever. Necco wafers and Mallow cups.

[Brady Bogan]

Mallow cups.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. You can kind of tell by the packaging. It's the. It's the dollar store candy. Boston baked beans.

[Brett Vesely]

I remember seeing those at the movie theaters when you were young.

[Brady Bogan]

They'd have them in the middies and Halloween.

[John Holmberg]

Reason all these candies I mentioned are in this article is like, nobody does these anymore is because everyone who like dad Old people like candy buttons. Remember the acid tabs? They were training kids to eat acid candy cigarettes? And the candy acid tabs, those bubblegum cigars. Oh, yeah, yeah, I forgot. Yeah, when they tried to teach you to smoke with candy.

[Brett Vesely]

Remember the candy cigarettes, the good ones that you.

[Eric]

Are.

[John Holmberg]

We less healthy today than when we were getting this. And you know how in the world we were chewing on fake cigarettes and cigars and pounding nickel nips in our mouths, practicing guzzling alcohol. It's a little bottle of alcohol. It's got stuff in it.

[Brett Vesely]

Bacon. Taking acid.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's nickel nips. And then I got my wax lips over here. That's gonna get me in trouble with everybody. And, yeah, I'm gonna take some sugar acid. How in the world is this the group of kids that's unhealthy and overweight when we were crushing the other bummer?

[Brady Bogan]

Were those Tootsie Rolls with the flavor centers?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, those weren't bad.

[Brady Bogan]

The Pops, the Brocks, they're about that big that they'd have, like, a Tootsie Roll with orange in them.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. No, no. You don't ever add fruit to it. Good Christ. Again, you got to be 90 to want fruit in your candy.

[Brett Vesely]

How is candy corn still a thing.

[John Holmberg]

I don't want at all?

[Brady Bogan]

It's National Candy Corn Day.

[John Holmberg]

Is it? Well, here we go. Congratulations.

[Brady Bogan]

Four states I'm going home.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm never visiting those states.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. Nebraska, Kansas, Mississippi and Atlanta. All right.

[Brett Vesely]

Three states I never want to go to.

[John Holmberg]

So, John, you don't remember.

[Brady Bogan]

Or Alabama, not Atlanta.

[John Holmberg]

Says Nick L. Nips are more plump and larger than your regular nips. That's right. You get those flat nips. Nobody likes those Nick L. Nips. This one says Zops had a pretty good run. Yeah, we're not talking about candies that are horrible.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Just they don't make it much anymore. Some are bad, though. Necco Wafers was a. That's. You might as well just eat some chalk candy. Cigarettes were good. They just need to change. Like the messaging, because it was, you know, indoctrinating kids into being comfortable with a pack of smokes.

[Brady Bogan]

I never liked the Double bubble.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, like a minute. And it hurt your jaw immediately. It was like chewing a rock.

[Brett Vesely]

Bazooka was the same way, though, too.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Hard as hell, but yeah. These are the ones that, you know, better flavor right off the bat in a weird way. This little list of candies for tomorrow night. It's a good thing they don't sell them in Mass anymore. You have to go to specialty candy stores to get all the ones I mentioned. Nick L. Nips will be what I buy Brett for Christmas and put in a stocking. That's definitely a thing, but, you know, it's always good to go to the basics. Don't offend, don't do anything.

[Brady Bogan]

Like the Necco wafers were replaced by Smarties. In a way, the guy kind of candy.

[John Holmberg]

This guy was the greatest name of all of our listeners ever. I'll tell you in a second. Fires off a message. Simple and clean. Chico sticks are the man. And then his name is Dick Downing. All right, that's more of a description than it is a name. You're gonna get yourself a nice Dick Downing. I think I had a coat when I was a kid that was full of dick down.

[Brett Vesely]

Are KDKB doing a jacket drive this?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they're doing it this winter. Needy, needy kids. Jacket driving. Preferably get a whole bunch of dick down. A nice Dick down coat. Thanks. Dick Downing. Great name.

[Brett Vesely]

Blackjack gum.

[John Holmberg]

I guess that doesn't count for any yuck. Dick Downing.

[Brett Vesely]

There's a lot of Chico Stick fans out there. Actually, they're. They're rolling through on the emails.

[John Holmberg]

Well, good news is they're all in their late 80s. They won't be around next year. I was watching a Judge Judy. Speaking of Dick Downing, I was watching Judge Judy the other day, and one of the guys on there. This is the dude's name. I think I sent it to you guys, and his name was Richard Stiff. And he was on there, and Judge Judy never said a thing. Your name is Dick Stiff? Show me the receipt. I want a birth certificate. But that's when, you know, your parents knew. Like, they laughed in bed and smoked weed and stuff and looked at each other and said, let's name him Dick because our last name is hilarious with. And Downing is another one. Dick Downing. Come on. My friend has. His last name is Vols, but it's spelled. It looks like Values when you look at it. Of course they named him Richard. So Dick Values. He can't go anywhere. Like restaurants. Like name. It's Richard. Can I get a last name? Vols.v a u L, E S. Inevitably, inevitably Dick Value, Party of four, your table is ready. Oh, my God. That was my favorite thing to do at Tony Romas when the old people would show up and I was in charge of calling them up. The bar was just packed with Chico Stick fans, and they'd been waiting for 40 minutes for a table. And I would grab that intercom and I Go party fan. Come on, your table is ready. All of them. Night of the Night of the Walking Dead. All of them. I didn't say a real name at all. And they all go, is that. Was that Johnson? No. How'd you call Johnson? Back to your seat, old man. And I'd do it every once in a while. And the hostess, like, you're a jerk. I'm like, look at him. It's the best exercise they've ever gotten.

[Brady Bogan]

You're helping them.

[John Holmberg]

I was helping them get blood flow. There's nothing better if you can get a hold of that. Party of two, your table is ready.

[Brett Vesely]

It was like Charlie Brown.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. They heard their own names. They were desperate to get some food. You tell old people who have you.

[Brady Bogan]

Keep them from that onion loaf they get.

[John Holmberg]

They were getting riot. Yeah, they were getting them. Oh, their faces. When they. Can we have appetizers in the bar. No food in the bar. Two hour wait. Okay. I'm like, really? You've got. That's like 8% of what you have left. You're gonna stay? Yeah. And inevitably, 12, 15 minutes later, we made it for two hours. No, you haven't. I wrote down when you came in, it was 4:54. You're here for dinner at 4:54. And there's a wait because the whole rest of you came into it. Yeah, just listen for your name. Okay. Party before. Drove them nuts.

[Brady Bogan]

Four or five of them.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, they'd all get off. Was that us? I think he said Carpenter. What name was that? Had a cuz of a cobblepapper. Party fork. I think that's Carpenter. I think he's. Thank you. I gave him my first name too.

[Brady Bogan]

Till one day it was a match. Really?

[John Holmberg]

I'm Mr. Cobba Parfenhoppentarfer. Holy Christ.

[Brady Bogan]

Now folks, Death Ring Ding.

[John Holmberg]

Von Berg Nester, party of two. Where the deaf. Ring Ding. Tom Burg Nestners. Yeah, it could happen. This guy's mad at me for no reason. So Toledo prints these out. This is nice. It says, oh, subject mental retardation. He's mad since your morning. Guy blows chunks. Get an affiliate with the station. Not some SCA wannabe Posier. This makes me want to hate my life. Then go to work just so I don't have to listen to him talk. Why does he have one listener who's never going to call? Yup. Oh, that's why it says. I don't know. As a. He's mentally retarded. So he was angry.

[Brady Bogan]

What was that?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. He's very angry at me. And so he proved that his anger towards mental retardation maybe couldn't hear him through the mask. This one says, john, you don't know what you're talking about. Chicken sticks with a bomb still are when they're fresh.

[Brett Vesely]

Still ours, right?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Longtime listener, first time emailer, Scott. Wow, Is it like when you say first time? This is the first time you've ever typed an email. Because this didn't make any sense at all.

[Brett Vesely]

Still are. I'm going with that.

[John Holmberg]

Chicken sticks with a bomb still are. What does that mean?

[Brady Bogan]

Chico sticks were the bomb and still are.

[John Holmberg]

You got. You need the. You need those words.

[Brady Bogan]

I know.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And the word I can speak.

[Brady Bogan]

Chicken sticks.

[John Holmberg]

He didn't say chico. He said chicken.

[Brady Bogan]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

Chicken sticks with a bomb still are when they're fresh. It's the first time I've ever emailed. It says it's a long time listener. First time emailing. I've never done it before. Yeah, Scott. I practice emailing. Because it's your first time it showed. This is a rookie email. Chicken sticks are. Chicken sticks with bumps still are. Oh, my God. Are you driving? Can you drive? You shouldn't be allowed in a car, let alone driving it.

[Brady Bogan]

Have yourself a day.

[John Holmberg]

Good. I've been listening long time. First time emailing ever with a bomb. This one says, what about Charlie Chans? That was a candy. I don't remember those. I don't remember that at all. Either way. It's the annual candy debate, but we picked out the 13 earlier.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, Kyle Pierce just sent us one.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he did? Oh, yeah. Oh, I've seen a few of these. The ones for. Yeah. That were foreign language candy. Can't do that. One says. This one says, I'm feeling attacked to my candy choices. I love candy dots on paper. Necco wafers and candy cigarettes. The other stuff was just gross. That I agreed with. But those three signed Angie. Yeah, the candy cigarettes were great. They tasted good. I like the green apple ones. All those were.

[Brady Bogan]

I know why the guy said Charlie Chance.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Because they're cherry clans.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, cherry clans. And they got little Asians and Cooley hats.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. So I could see how he crossed that.

[John Holmberg]

The candy dots on paper were good and the cigarettes were good until people wised up and said it's. It's the exact same thing as taking acid and smoking Necco wafers. I don't understand it.

[Brett Vesely]

Sticks or Butterfinger without the chocolate basically is what everybody.

[John Holmberg]

That was what makes a Butterfinger good.

[Brett Vesely]

There's a reason Chicken sticks were popular in the jail commissary. Thank you, Brian Jones.

[John Holmberg]

That makes sense. When I was in the joint, chicko sticks were where it was at, man. And candy, cigarettes and my ass. Yeah. I don't know. Old people.

[Brett Vesely]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

Whitber just said chico, sticks are big in the joint.

[Eric]

Everybody.

[John Holmberg]

Everybody who's been in jail is now telling me they're not allowed to have.

[Brett Vesely]

Chocolate in there or what.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, why not? Yeah, why can't you have chocolate?

[Brett Vesely]

This one?

[Brady Bogan]

No, this one's complaining.

[John Holmberg]

Heath bars.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

This guy says it's the worst candy ever.

[John Holmberg]

Brad loved because they're delicious.

[Brady Bogan]

They're good.

[John Holmberg]

Heath bars are like the steak 44 of candy. You can't have it all all the time, but when you get one, it's like precious. It's sweet.

[Brady Bogan]

Blizzard.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, those are good.

[John Holmberg]

You're gonna make me. Those are Dairy Queen for lunch today. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, have fun.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you can't go Chicken sticks gonna. Bombs still are. First time with computer fingers working slow, not strong. Speller Scott. Long time listener, first time emailer. And it couldn't have been more like terrible. See, later you say bye.

[Eric]

Good new you.

[John Holmberg]

Bye now. Take care. By the way, they've been shooting those Mississippi primates like crazy. That cop that went out and blasted five of them because that yesterday we're talking about that truck that sparked.

[Brady Bogan]

Because I thought they were just down to one.

[John Holmberg]

Well, they are trying to find a couple more, but they shot him. One of the cops is like, what? Truck driver said got a bunch of STD disease primates flopped out of the back of my truck when I wrecked it. And they're like, oh my God. You see one. What would you do if a. If you were in stand your ground, New Orleans? You gotta kill that thing. I'm not gonna hang around and try to make friends with it. It's an STD monkey. Everybody's mad at the guy. The cops like that cop used unreasonable like. What are you talking about? It was a monkey with an std as far as he knew. You gotta go back to dispatch who actually told him one. Item five, we've got some primates running around on the freeways here and just outside of Tulane. Turns out these monkeys are just riddled with STDs. Be careful out there, guys. I'm pulling my gun out right there. I'm not gonna tase them. I'm going to kill them.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, some dumb, dumb rolled in with his pet monkey at a Spirit hall.

[John Holmberg]

Of Texas and just let it go.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, it got away from Him.

[John Holmberg]

That's what letting it go is.

[Brady Bogan]

30 minutes.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And it was up in the lights and stuff. My favorite part was they interviewed a lady. And she goes, my daughter and I were at the Spirit Halloween. We're sitting there in Texas, right?

[Brady Bogan]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

And she goes. And I looked up and said, my word. And my daughter said, is that a monkey? And my. I looked, I said, it has a diaper on, so it must be a real one. Like, that's how you make.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, there were a lot of people that thought it was like a Spirit Halloween thing, decoration.

[John Holmberg]

But it's screaming, it's wearing a diaper. And that was the lady's like, that's how you know when it's a real one. It's got a diaping on.

[Brady Bogan]

Broke the harness. Because it probably went by one of those ghouls that jump out at you and it scared him.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

So the officer says no charges. Will be.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Who takes a press? Any charges? There were some customers that ran out of the store.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, it's a rogue.

[Brady Bogan]

Maybe they lost some business.

[John Holmberg]

Look, if they're like, right now, if Tripp got on the intercom here at work, my monkey's loose. I don't know where it is. You would be like, okay, shut the hide.

[Brady Bogan]

We just closed the studio door.

[John Holmberg]

It's dangerous sometimes. Be careful. Monkey on the loose. Once again, just to remind all of.

[Brady Bogan]

You, he got him down. The owner.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. He got cookies. And start offering it cookies at 30 minutes later. Look, if you've got an out of control, like, Rottweiler or something in a diaper that's running around a Spirit Halloween store, it's gonna make people nervous. One thing I know is that we haven't mastered domesticating monkeys yet. And when you take them to Spirit Halloween, it's the guy with wolves over there at the Biltmore. It's like, this could go sideways. Anyway, this one says, congratulations, boys. Another show milestone has occurred. Been about the right amount of time. Scott emails in with this weird. Seems that the Tang High on the Plex kid has finally graduated and is an adult now. That's too Tang High on the Plex.

[Brady Bogan]

It has been long enough.

[John Holmberg]

It has been long enough for Tang High on the Plex to be a functioning adult chicken.

[Eric]

Sticks with the bomb.

[John Holmberg]

Still are. Yeah. You start the cops in trouble, though, is shooting these. Like, you tell me that there are primates running free with STDs. Yeah. And I'm a cop. That's my job. They're still looking for three more. They're Pretty sure they know where two are. One is just I gotta shoot it.

[Brady Bogan]

Because if not, I might make sweet, sweet love to it.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Pulled out a nose here. Look at that. And then more reasons that take your daughter to work day is the stupidest thing ever. I saw in the news this morning that there's a surgeon who's in trouble because he took his 12 year old into the operating room for brain surgery. Let her use the drill.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, that's awesome.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, if it was. Long as it's not me. Look, if it was my. If my dad. My dad used to do when he did, you know, he was. Oversaw construction stuff for stadiums and things. They'd build stadiums and we lived in West Virginia. I thought my dad might be the coolest person that ever walked the earth. This is before I really got to know him.

John, people are talking about Verlo Mattress in Glendale. I'm sure they are, Larry. They love the fact that you can see your mattress being made and that you can unzip and tune up your mattress. I love the side sleeper pillows. So do I.

[Brady Bogan]

And they carry seven different side sleep pillows.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Did you know also they offer free delivery with a mattress purchase?

[Brady Bogan]

I did.

[John Holmberg]

But I think it's even more important.

[Dale Hellstray]

To know that right now they're offering a free adjustable base with the purchase.

[John Holmberg]

Of a V5 or better mattress. Larry, there's so many reasons to pick the right mattress for your body at Verlo Mattress in Glendale. It's made in the usa, family owned and oper, Arizona native. That's Verlo Mattress in Glendale.

[Eric]

Holmberg's morning sickness.

[John Holmberg]

So I was like seven and I'm like, this guy's got it pretty much figured out if this is his job. My dad's the coolest dad Ever. So we go over to this field. I don't know what's going on. He goes, you're gonna want to see this. And he. You know, he would be like, one, and you'd hear it go out on these speakers, and then half the mountain. The mountain would just explode. They had packed mountains, little hillsides in Morgantown, West Virginia, with dynamite. Those pipe bomb things just blew the be. Jesus out of where land was. And then trucks started to come in and just move it. And within, like, three days, it was the most awesome thing. So by the seventh or eighth detonation, I got to be the one that said, go.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, you were the baseball announcing kid.

[John Holmberg]

And you know all those guys out there at heart, miserable. Okay, but that was the only. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

It'S too loud.

[John Holmberg]

I'm sure it was awful. Intolerable. My dad brought me there to watch stuff explode because he was probably seeing the signs back then. He's like, I think he's gay. Anyways, maybe we'll use the explosive test and see if he likes that. If he likes explosions, there's hope.

[Brady Bogan]

So when he got on the intercom, hey, guys.

[John Holmberg]

Six, seven, maybe six, nine.

[Dale Hellstray]

Later.

[Brett Vesely]

Sup, everybody?

[John Holmberg]

But, yeah, he blew the stuff up, and I thought it was cool.

[Brady Bogan]

Burke's kids back in.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, God. Homebrew's daughter's on the intercom. It's my son, but he. He let me hit the button, and I thought that was cool. And that was a take your kid to work day. Although I did recognize no one wanted me there, and especially my dad.

[Brady Bogan]

He hated that.

[John Holmberg]

But seeing the explosion, the exploding mountains, is the neatest thing a kid can watch. When you know it's going to be a football stadium and you don't see it, but they blew it to smithereens, and I got to be part of that. And then sometimes people take their kids to work and their jobs suck. Like, if I had a kid, I.

[Brady Bogan]

Went in a couple times.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, your dad did AC stuff. He wouldn't blow anything up or starting fires or anything.

[Brady Bogan]

Dan, you're fired.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Eric]

Oh, no.

[John Holmberg]

If you were taking a kid to work day and you're culling the herd. Sweet. Watch this, pretty. I'm gonna ruin this guy's life. Hey, dad, why don't you come out in here? He said, hey, Top, how are you? Close the door behind you. All right, I'm gonna talk to you. How many kids you got now? I got five kids, Mr. Bogan, really enjoy working here. You're fired, and we're gonna let you go. It's enough of you. I got my kid. He's gonna eat. Look at him. He's portly. Now yours are gonna get all skinny. Out you go. Too bad you didn't bring your kids in. I fired them too. Seven o' clock word, by the way.

[Brady Bogan]

Now let's go to lunch, son.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we're gonna. We can afford it.

[Brady Bogan]

Go to the club.

[John Holmberg]

You've got to cut back. Dan grand is the 7am code word. Grand, G, R A N D. And you can be more like Eric Parsons and Ryan Alvarez and maybe win $1,000 like they did from the ticket and the app promo. See how good I got at that? All of a sudden I'm giving out winners names I have. That is my fault. I screwed that up. Yeah, but he's sitting there, he's like, you know, it's just a job to the brain surgeon. Now that I've become friends with that liver surgeon, he treats that like, you know, when Brett works on, you know, it's like adding oil to a car. He just. It's. It's his gig. But this dude took his. Took his daughter. And this guy had suffered traumatic brain injury at a forestry accident. They raced him to the hospital. The operation was a success. A neurosurgeon reportedly had her 12 year old daughter assist with the cranial procedure. A doctor and a physician and a neurosurgeon there had brought her child to the operating room. She was still in training. And she goes, here, you do it. And she drew a dot on the person's head that needed the immediate drilling. And they put the dewalt through the dude's skull. It was a 12 year old girl says allegedly her daughter was given the drill to create a hole in the patient's skull to make room for a probe. And the other guys are like, we probably shouldn't let the 12 year old even in here, let alone handling the stuff. But she proudly declared that her daughter had just drilled her first borehole in the middle of the surgery. And everybody in the room's like, yeah, not a good idea. So I think she got ratted out by her friends. An incredible lack of respect for the patient. And it makes you think, you know, there are jobs where you can sometimes they tried that here. I think I look, I need. I need praise for that. Is that I have dumped so hard on take your daughter to work day here at school or take your kids to work that nobody does it. There's been a couple people that don't know and they'll drag their rats Here to school or to our work and take it out of school.

[Brady Bogan]

Maybe it's just not as big as a deal.

[John Holmberg]

No, they still have it in some places. Like they don't have a guy like me who's loud and goes, no, everyone hates this gardener put her kids to work. Yeah. Gardner brought them to a charity event. Made him not talk to him. He said hello to people and got to work and then sent them on their way. And there's nothing. And I'm the guy who sees your kids. Oh, God. When I see. It's like you walk. This is my daughter, Angelina. Oh, God.

[Brady Bogan]

They bring him to work now. They. Since they work at home.

[John Holmberg]

There you go. We're at home. Yeah. Yeah, we work at home. You can go sit in my office with me drilling holes in people's heads. Yeah. Nobody likes it. And the only person that likes it is that frigid lady who's in her late 40s that never had had enough personality to land a man to put a baby in her. So she's gotten all. She's like those STD monkeys that are running around out there in New Orleans. And she sits there and sees babies and just thinks, human baby. She has to be close to it. She loves other people's kids because she never. Nobody ever filled her up. Either that or she was cold inside and it didn't work. And it just. Her life mission was to make babies, and she couldn't. They get freaked out when it's take your kid to work day because they're like, they want to steal your child. There's always one in every office, that lady that. If you even say, oh, there's the cutest baby in the lobby, they'll drop everything and haul ass to that lobby. Even if that doctor had the drilling into the head, if she was a frigid woman with no kids that had baby fever, she'd put the drill down. Brain surgery's over for a few minutes. She's gotta go run and see human baby. They're crazy. But if you're taking your kid to work today.

[Brady Bogan]

Stop.

[John Holmberg]

Turn around. Put it somewhere else.

[Brady Bogan]

I work at Planned Parenthood. My daughter loves to follow me at a work.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well, here's something you'll never have. It's take your daughter to work to hear Planned Parenthood. The irony.

[Eric]

Here we go.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we got a kid following up. Hey, why don't you get the speculum and tear into this lady, too? Thanks, dad. All right, I'm just gonna insert the vacuum now. How old is he? I'm 11. I've been coming to this place for a long time trying to add a little guilt. It's a passive aggressive way to make you feel horrible about what you're doing. All done here.

[Brady Bogan]

Hit the button.

[John Holmberg]

Did you just perform my procedure? I sure did. And come on over here. We got a name. Is my son. This is Brandon. He's gonna do the. I'm tired of it. I've got prune hands from you ladies.

[Brady Bogan]

There's 200 daughters on the border today.

[John Holmberg]

It's good. And then another thing that's going on that's gonna make everybody crazy. And I don't know. Would you guys go to this? I. I have a feeling, having been in Trump's world for this many years, save for four in the middle, but now we're on what year five. Going into six of his president's time is that he didn't just hint around yesterday. Basically said, we're going to start blowing up nukes again.

[Brady Bogan]

Because everyone else is doing it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, everybody else is doing it. So China's jumping off a bridge. We should, too. China and India and everybody in Russia, they've got nukes and they test them, and we haven't tested ours for a long time. So Trump's like, we should. And knowing him, he's going to sell tickets to this.

[Brady Bogan]

You just don't like hearing stuff like that.

[John Holmberg]

Why? I love him.

[Brady Bogan]

No, but he doesn't. He'll fix it. Like, we haven't hurt. You know, we haven't tested our nukes long.

[John Holmberg]

What?

[Eric]

Yeah. No, no.

[John Holmberg]

Why don't we test him? China does. Russia does. Let's throw some fire.

[Brett Vesely]

So where do we test them at?

[John Holmberg]

That's the thing. But I know maybe the White house on the 250th anniversary is going to do. Got a UFC event on the lawn. And then we're going to throw one out in the Atlantic. Just. Just blow the plate. Look at the whales. Baby whaley. We're gonna throw it 10 times bigger than what we dropped on Japan. Brady. It's gonna be a little bit of sunshine.

[Brett Vesely]

It's gonna drop one on Schumer's house.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oops. I got Chuck Schumer. Whoops. And by the butt on the silver lining, the nukes work. Good test. That's a plus. But, you know, he would. He'd sell tickets to this if it's in Nevada. They'd Oppenheimer up. We'd all have those weird, you know, welder blaster goggles on and new bunkers. Yeah, A few. Few Miles away and just sit there in the Nevada desert and let that thing go. We'll do it underwater and underground, but we're also going to do a couple above ground. And that's going to be one hell of a Fourth of July, I'll tell you that. Take that, China.

[Brady Bogan]

So the other countries that are testing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Where they have. It's got to be, I guess, underground or.

[Brett Vesely]

They don't care.

[John Holmberg]

They don't care. But if it was above ground, we'd have video of it.

[Brady Bogan]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

Trump's gonna do it that way. His isn't gonna be the same as what they're doing. He's gonna throw one up in the air. Well, I mean, how's it a test if we don't really use it the way we're going to? So I think we have to find out what it does to the air. And I'm gonna throw a few bombs out there onto some island that they'll have a resort first, like in an island nearby. Like, the bikinis will get hit again. He's going to do this. We haven't tested. I didn't know that. We stopped testing like 92. So we haven't. We don't even know if these things work. So in a weird way, he's kind of right. But it's also the creepiest thing ever. We got to be equal with Russia and China and they are throwing. They are throwing the nukes. They know there's work. We don't know. Since Clinton. We don't know. So I would. Would you buy tickets to that?

[Brady Bogan]

No, you wouldn't.

[John Holmberg]

You're not curious? You wouldn't want to go see that. I would go see that. That's bigger than sphere, I guess, but just on.

[Brady Bogan]

And there's some fallout action on that.

[John Holmberg]

People get that close. Yeah. You get into some steel room and then just jump in a refrigerator.

[Brett Vesely]

Like Indiana Jones.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Indiana Jones.

[Brady Bogan]

You're right. You know what? I would check it out.

[John Holmberg]

He got into an old Frigidaire. Yeah. And it saved him.

[Brett Vesely]

Got some brushes afterwards. He was good.

[John Holmberg]

Go to that. Yeah, exactly. Get those crystal skulls and everything will be just fine.

[Brady Bogan]

It's from the film that I've seen Oppenheimer in the. In the bunker, you know, the black and white. Sure.

[John Holmberg]

They didn't know what. They didn't even know. They were just. Let's see what happens. They were worried all of the earth would start on fire because it would just keep reacting. One thing would react and that fire would create more air. Fire. And the air would Catch fire all over the planet. They were relieved when it didn't. We now know. Yeah, it's pretty good. I think he's going to put one above ground or try to in the next couple years. And he'll sell tickets. And I would buy tickets to that. I would definitely travel up to Nevada just to sit and watch that once. Burning Man. He'd probably combo up Burning man this weekend. And then the. Off in the distance, we're going to throw a mushroom. It's going to be great.

[Brady Bogan]

Maybe just test it and see the reaction of the people that were there.

[John Holmberg]

We won't tell them. Let's get all those ayahuasca weirdos and we'll have them up there having their humps and their touchy feelies in the mud. And the next thing you know, off into the distance, and they won't know why. It'll be great.

[Brady Bogan]

That giant stick man structure in the background.

[John Holmberg]

We'll make the stick man the bomb. It'll be awesome. I like that idea. You know, he's gonna make it a show. He can't test nukes. He's. His ego's way too big to just test them quietly. But I would. You know what, Chris Parker, you're right. You know, there's an island that's not being used anymore. It was called Epstein Island. Let's just. We can probably nuke it. There's some DNA evidence I'd like to see gone. That wouldn't be a bad idea. New Capstein Island. Gone. Amazing. Roger Goodell, Bill Belichick and I talked and we said the best thing to do is blow up where the evidence is. Yeah. Pretty awesome. Or, you know, I don't know where else you could do it then throw it in space. But it isn't a test. If it's not going to be in the air, we wouldn't even know. But I would. I'd pay top dollar for that.

[Brady Bogan]

On the moon. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

What's the point? Like. Like it's not going to react the same way it would. We got to put it above ground like they did the first couple to see how big they are. Now, remember, you've seen the Oppenheimer thing and how about Tucson? I'd love that.

[Brett Vesely]

You could see it from your patio, you know, I mean, fine. You don't have to go to Tucson.

[John Holmberg]

I'd go out to TV's Doug Hopkins House and just sit on these, get that beautiful view. You see that thing go off and just know that Tucson's gone. Oh. Oh, my God. Between Brady's Heath Bar Blizzard. And you. I'm. I've got a pantload. Would you buy tickets to it? You'd go.

[Brett Vesely]

That was a distance away. I'd do it.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah. I mean, I'm not gonna stand an impact, but I'm just. You know what I'm saying?

[Brady Bogan]

It's just the crowds, John.

[John Holmberg]

You don't want to get into the. You don't want to get into the trap. It's a ticketed event. What a pain not be awesome. Especially at night. Oh, so cool. We all love it.

[Brady Bogan]

We all act like it's like a sweet and had.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Food and drinks and stuff. Sure.

[John Holmberg]

We lose our minds when Metallica has pyro. I mean imagine what would go on. We have Metallica playing and then final the memo. What's going on?

[Brett Vesely]

I hope that voice is there right at ground zero.

[Eric]

Yes.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, the worst part.

[John Holmberg]

She died. She's in the night of the Singing Dead. We're throwing that one in there too. You're gonna do that part. Audience Nuka drug boat. That's a good idea too, Nicholas. That's a. We decided to get a little crazy and test one of our nukes and one of those Venezuelan druggies get their boats in the water. We're gonna boom. It's gone.

[Brady Bogan]

I was thinking about that the other day. That's like, man, we're doing all this stuff like for Trump. I just think of the movie the Sicario. Why sending people over like for Trump, like the cartoon.

[John Holmberg]

There's going to be our attention. They're saying Revenge Factory.

[Brady Bogan]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, for sure, Scott.

[Brett Vesely]

John says, why not Jamaica? It's already. Already destroyed anyway.

[Brady Bogan]

Jamaica.

[John Holmberg]

No, we're not doing the beach.

[Brady Bogan]

Cuba.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, all right, all right. Nobody cares when Cuba gets hit. I pointed that out yesterday. Cuba's got many, many people suffering from entertain. We don'. Anyway, I would buy tickets that in a heartbeat. 7:00 clock word is grand. Which is what you will win. And probably about what the tickets would cost for Trump's first nuke test visuals. I mean, he's selling money. Yeah, he's selling tickets to that. I guarantee you some. All you have to do is float that idea to him. He's sitting at that Resolute desk just signing everything. And now the presidential order that if you laugh at someone who says a slur, you're not a bad guy. Kid Rock said retard, and that's okay.

[Brett Vesely]

Chris Clark said, why wouldn't Brady go? Wouldn't the radiation cure his kidney?

[John Holmberg]

Hey, it could. Maybe they'll get you cleared out and then just go. Mr. President, I think we should sell tickets to your nuke test.

[Brett Vesely]

Sold out.

[Brady Bogan]

Nuke Dome.

[John Holmberg]

That might be thousand. That might be the greatest idea I've ever heard. Yep, we're gonna do it.

[Brett Vesely]

And then here comes the. Here comes the political part. Why don't you just do it over Portland?

[John Holmberg]

Get rid of Cox. That's enough. Portland cucks deserve to live. Do they? Do they? I mean, that's the triple A baseball team.

[Brady Bogan]

The Portland Cups.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Used to be the Beavers. But that's true. That is actually true. But what happens to the Beavers that gets cucked. Anyway, grand is your word today. Let's get right on with it. Brett, what do you got on the big board of musical treats?

[Brett Vesely]

[Brady Bogan]

You'd be blown away.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. God.

[Brett Vesely]

We are going to four day work.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we're working on the marketing of it. It's not going to be. You'll be blown away. Yeah. All right. What do you got?

[Brett Vesely]

Analyst Static X Blood for days. Mud Vein. Coffin Cats. The way of the road.

[Eric]

Bow wow wow.

[Brett Vesely]

I want candy.

[John Holmberg]

Oh yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Misfits. Dig up her bones. Rob Zombie. American Witch Slayer. Dead Skin Mask. We're getting into the Halloween stuff. Iron Maiden. Bring your daughter to the slaughter.

[John Holmberg]

Yep, there it is. That's the one for the girl who was mama brought her to brain surgery because she just loves her kid.

[Brett Vesely]

Creeping death Killer Kill all beautiful things.

[John Holmberg]

I. I recently watched the Bow Wow Wow I want candy video. Yeah, she was hot. The lead singer. Bow wow was like with the mohawk and stuff. Like 81.

[Brett Vesely]

It was like 16 or something.

[John Holmberg]

She was.

[Brett Vesely]

I think she was pretty young.

[John Holmberg]

Terrible.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't remember.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, she had a mohawk already.

[Brett Vesely]

But when it came out, we were. We were under that age, so it's okay.

[John Holmberg]

So it's okay to still objectify that. I didn't realize how pretty she was. I always thought she was a freak. Pull her up here. But the Bow Wow Wow Girl was pretty. And it was back in, like, the early 80s when having a mohawk was, like, the scariest thing in the world to. The song is. Is, you know, she in the video. It was great. I'll put it more than the song. Do you have the video?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, I can pull it up.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's the videos. I didn't. I don't remember her being that cute. She was young. I use PayPal. Yeah. Sure enough. I don't remember her being good. I remember being kind of afraid of Bow Wow Wow. I certainly wasn't.

[Brett Vesely]

No chicks had mohawks, right?

[John Holmberg]

She was a creep. They had her in the ocean and her wet clothes and she's. They're all on the beach and stuff. Look at that. I think she was really young at the time. Really?

[Brett Vesely]

But then who cared? Because we were younger than her.

[John Holmberg]

So who cares, right, Fred? This is just me reliving when I was 6, 7 years old. The whole band's handsome. Yeah. I didn't. I didn't remember her being really great. She's, like, kind of got a Phoebe Cates thing going on. Is she really young?

[Eric]

Damn it.

[Brett Vesely]

That's what I heard. I don't know. I didn't look it up yet.

[John Holmberg]

How did she age? I don't know.

[Eric]

Look at that.

[John Holmberg]

What was wrong with us? How did she not become a symbol of, like, hot. I don't know. What? Yeah. So people bring that one up. And I was like, wow. How's about that? I don't know her name or anything. You'd have thought she'd have been. You're gonna look up the lead singer. What is her name? I don't know. Oh, there it is. Lead singer now. How'd she do? Yeah, it's not bad.

[Brett Vesely]

No, she held it together.

[John Holmberg]

It's all right.

[Brett Vesely]

She didn't turn into Nelly Furtado.

[John Holmberg]

No, she didn't. I think Nelly Furtado may have eaten her. I also want Candy Just slaughtered. The Bow Wow Wow Girl. Yeah, she looks pretty good. Yeah. What's her name?

[Brett Vesely]

Annabella Lewin.

[John Holmberg]

Annabelle and the Wind. All right.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, she became lead vocals of the band. In 1980 when she was 13 years old.

[John Holmberg]

No way. That's what it says.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't know. When I want Candy came out.

[John Holmberg]

Can't watch that anymore.

[Brett Vesely]

She's 58 right now. Let's see.

[John Holmberg]

Geez. Yeah. Who knew? I can't watch that video anymore. She looks like she's 30 in that thing. She should have been like, we should have had a Melissa.

[Brady Bogan]

It's pretty close to. It's maybe 81.

[Brett Vesely]

82.

[Brady Bogan]

82.

[Brett Vesely]

When I want candy cane.

[Brady Bogan]

15.

[Eric]

She was 15.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. She should have had a Melissa. What is her name or not? Milano. Oh, Alyssa Milano. Alyssa Milano. Yeah. She wasn't nobody. She wasn't one of those teen beat girls. Well, I feel creepy as ever. Yeah. Who knew? I just watched that video the other day. I'm like, why didn't we all think she was hot? Nobody did. They all thought she was a freak.

[Brett Vesely]

It was just the mohawk at the time.

[John Holmberg]

Must have been it. Iron Maiden, too.

[Brett Vesely]

You want to probably bring your daughter.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

You never go for Maiden, so.

[John Holmberg]

No, this has to be done. Done. I'm giving it to the Maiden fans. All the people named Mike who like Iron Maiden, who call themselves Iron Maiden Mike. And there's plenty of. You bring your daughter to the slaughter. That's it. It's 98 KUPD.

[Brady Bogan]

It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually.

[John Holmberg]

No membership fee. I've heard enough of this. It's John Holbert here. Time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of my home group and Doug Hopkins dot com. I just sat down with TVs Doug Hopkins and we did some TV commercials while we're watching football. So you get to see me sit next to Doug and somehow or another make Doug look pretty.

[Eric]

Holmberg's morning sickness.

[John Holmberg]

The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. That is the brand new and I like it a lot. Nine Inch Nails right there. You can't complain about that one. Nice work to add that bad boy in there. Larry. I like that one a lot. It is 7:48.

I haven't said your names. An email from a guy this morning just said, this is bad. It said, listening to the show for a long time. Love the show. Me and my friends still say, hey, man. To each other all the time because when I was doing Kyler Murray for a while, I always start ever since, hey, man. And they said, we still do that. And then it said, just love what you've done. Thanks for everything. And then at the end it says, don't say my name on the air. Like, why? It's a. This is a nice email. Why can't I. I don't want people to know I like you. It's like when a hot girl dates you and then just don't tell anybody about this. I had a nice time. But don't. Don't tell anybody we went out.

[Eric]

But why?

[John Holmberg]

Just don't.

[Brady Bogan]

Good Thursday morning to Phoenix. Hello world. Happy National Candy Corn Day.

[John Holmberg]

Gross. Gross. And I stand by what I always say. If candy corn was good, we'd have it all the time. It's the same as tamales. I know, I know. Calm down. But tamales aren't good or there'd be tamale restaurants. No one goes over to anybody's tamales house in April. We're making tamales. No thanks. Candy corn, fruit, that fruitcake, cranberries and just that horrible tamales. Those are the four that you stick by and go, if they were good, we'd eat them all day. And peeps. Gotta put peeps in there too. Peeps aren't good and we know it because they only come up at Easter.

[Brady Bogan]

And now they're rolling out some at Christmas.

[John Holmberg]

They try. Nobody wants them though. They're pushing peeps on you. But they're only good for one time a year.

[Brady Bogan]

Got a couple of basis fun facts. It's been 30 years since M M's. Nix the color tan.

[John Holmberg]

Huh? There used to be a mixed. I thought you said mixed.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, got rid of it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, got rid of it.

[Brady Bogan]

They gave the public three options. Three choices. Blue, purple and pink. Blue one. It's been almost 50 years since orange was introduced.

[John Holmberg]

What were they just. Yeah, cuz red was poison.

[Brady Bogan]

They dropped the red. Yeah. Due to the red dye scare.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Red dye three or whatever it was.

[Brady Bogan]

They brought it back in 1987 with a different red dye coloring.

[John Holmberg]

It took him 17 years to figure out how to make stuff red again without killing us. Has anybody died from Eminem poisoning.

[Brady Bogan]

That.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know anybody had like cancer and they're like, how many M M's did you used to eat before they changed it? Because I ate loads of M M's when I was a kid. So I'm sure the. Well, no. 72. You said they stopped. There weren't red ones. Well, 50 years ago, like 75.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

So I.

[Brady Bogan]

And then it was. Yeah. 12 years later. 87.

[John Holmberg]

12 years to go. How do we make red not kill people?

[Brady Bogan]

And how much did that red dye?

[John Holmberg]

And yet in other candies, one of my favorite candies, you're like, we're still using it. Spree in our Cherry Chance Spree was Cherry Chance. Probably. I don't know if they had red dye. There was something weird going on with that. But they dyed the sugar so it had to be Eminem poisoning. I wonder if it's a thing.

[Brady Bogan]

Anything about jawbreakers. Anything that had the red thing. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Sprees were the best. They would melt on your fingers. Turn your fingers. Colors. Skittles. There were tons of red ones.

[Brady Bogan]

No one knows exactly when people started using the phrase Jesus H. Christ.

[Dale Hellstray]

Or.

[Brady Bogan]

What the H stands for. But Mark Twain. Horatio said in his autobiography that people were already using it when he was a kid. That would have been in the mid-1800s.

[John Holmberg]

Mark Twain brought it up.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

During this conversation in his autobiography years.

[Brady Bogan]

Ago, he said, when I was in.

[John Holmberg]

My teens, people said, jesus H. Christ.

[Brady Bogan]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

I think it's Horatio. Did we ever know Jesus middle name? Did anyone keep accurate records on this guy?

[Brady Bogan]

Was it Jesus? Hosanna Christ.

[John Holmberg]

Wasn't that with a J, though?

[Brett Vesely]

It'd be Herbert.

[John Holmberg]

Herbert. You like Herbert.

[Brady Bogan]

But we've thrown the.

[John Holmberg]

We've.

[Brady Bogan]

We've thrown the H in there. In the. I don't know when.

[John Holmberg]

Right.

[Brady Bogan]

But that's the point of the stories.

[John Holmberg]

No one knows. That's the earliest recollection. Is Mark Twain saying, I think I've heard it before.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. There are no black majority owners in the MLB and NFL, NBA and NHL.

[John Holmberg]

Not one.

[Brady Bogan]

Michael Jordan used to be.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. The Charlotte Hornets. Right.

[Brady Bogan]

Sold majority stake to the Charlotte Hornets in 2023.

[John Holmberg]

What about magic Johnson's not majority on any of his stuff. He's Dodgers. That's. That should change, probably. There isn't one black owner in the NFL. I guess not. They're all just rednecks around.

[Brady Bogan]

16% of us, 1 in 6 think that pets actually enjoy dressing up for Halloween. A full 40% think they're either. They either like it or at least don't mind. I'd feel our Ziggy, he doesn't seem to mind, but he likes wearing short shirts and stuff.

[John Holmberg]

Does he go get him himself. That's how you know if a dog likes it. Dog will go get you a leash.

[Brady Bogan]

He'll.

[John Holmberg]

He'll go get his shirt he'll bite.

[Brady Bogan]

The shirt like and bring it over.

[John Holmberg]

There and like he'll bring it to you like put this on me.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. If the shirt is not like we could say. We haven't been able to say go get your shirt. But if there was one like there's a little stack of them.

[John Holmberg]

He'll go over there, he'll go pick a shirt.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And he brings it up like I'm cold or something. Gordon gets dressed up a lot. Gordon was a vampire the other day and it's. I don't think he likes it at all. Sometimes he wears this old man sweater.

[Brady Bogan]

And Ollie's just kind of indifferent. You put it on him, he's like, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And on football Sunday I used to put on my dog Jack Raphael Ham. I would get a number 59 Jack Ham jersey.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

For Jack to wear. And I'd have to tie it up so cuz otherwise it went past his pee pee and he'd pee on it. And then it just turned into this weird kind of sexy halter top on a doll. This little, you know, knot on the back of it. It was around his chest like it looks a little gay. And he hated it. It. He would just sit in the middle of the yard and stare back at everybody like I hate you so much. Take the shirt off. He was fine. Bustle wear anything. I could put like, like armor on bus. And he'd just walk around laughing like that dog is funny all the time around.

[Brady Bogan]

A third of Americans are planning on dressing up their pets for Halloween.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's official, we've lost it.

[Brady Bogan]

New study found that if you're happiness scale of 1 to 10, 10 being for the happiest.

[John Holmberg]

Sure.

[Brady Bogan]

If you're hovering around a 3, it could affect your health in a big way.

[John Holmberg]

You're unhappy and depressed. Yeah. I think it's probably bad for you.

[Brady Bogan]

Research shows that loving life comes with lots of health benefits. Less likely to get sick. You're happy and content.

[John Holmberg]

More likely to get punched in the face by a sad person though if you're really kind of out and out too happy. If you're walking around, you know, coming in hot as a nine in the happy scale and you're letting everybody know it, a 3 is going to knock you out.

[Dale Hellstray]

If you're giving yourself.

[Brady Bogan]

They're saying that.

[Dale Hellstray]

Call it a one.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Dale Hellstray]

What is the scale?

[John Holmberg]

Because he's even thinking to himself, I'm a three. This is bad. But I know it could get worse.

[Brady Bogan]

So the study found that on average the minimum number before you See any health Benefits is a 2.7. That once you're above that, basically a 3 or higher.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

You'll see more health benefits the higher you go from there.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, you're going to get better as you get better when you're miserable. Yeah, you're good.

[Dale Hellstray]

Anybody that's willing to go, oh, I'm a 2.2.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm about a 2. 6.

[John Holmberg]

I hate my wife, I hate those kids. My house sucks. My job's the worst. I'm ugly. I'm about a three. Where, where do you find joy?

[Dale Hellstray]

What is joy?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm a two the next game. I guess you've talked me out of being a three. That's the optimist in me and you just killed that. I'm a one. One. I guess things could turn around. Is there a rock bottom answer? I want to. I want to go to this study. Hey pal, On a scale of 1 to 10, how happy do you think you are? I'm a 9. I'm going to knock you out. You're just annoying that I just punch you. I'm a two. Hey buddy, don't come in so happy. Hot on a two. You don't know my day.

[Brady Bogan]

China has rolled out a new law requiring influencers to prove their qualifications before posting about topics like finance, health or law. It'll be interesting on how they qualify them, but they're like you need to verify before you post on something.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

What makes you qualified?

[Dale Hellstray]

Guy says I'll be a dick. I'm so happy right now. I'm in my Tesla, driving in the HOV lane going 100 miles an hour in auto drive mode.

[John Holmberg]

9 out of 10. Definitely a 10 out of 10. I'm not going to give you a 10 because thinking you could be getting a BJ Jay, that's the only thing missing. So you do. I just made him go. Oh, so that's a nine.

[Dale Hellstray]

Oh, I'm turning around.

[John Holmberg]

I'm going back. I'm gonna get one of those. This one says Brady's an idiot. I googled Jesus H. Christ and AI gave me a full explanation and then he didn't get into it.

[Brett Vesely]

You want me to look it up?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[Dale Hellstray]

Exactly.

[John Holmberg]

What would you rank yourself on? A happy scale, Brady. Like a real happy scale. Not your rose colored glasses. Like what is real? The one that sits in the bathroom. Go goes. I gotta make some changes. Like that guy.

[Brady Bogan]

I'd put it about a about a seven.

[John Holmberg]

You're a seven and a Half scale.

[Dale Hellstray]

Which in his. Pretty good. We, as we know, means he's probably closer to eight or nine.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I think I'm around four.

[Brady Bogan]

Four.

[John Holmberg]

Steelers suck. I'm struggling with that. I got.

[Dale Hellstray]

Yeah. Probably about five or six.

[John Holmberg]

I like a lot of things. I'm not exactly ecstatic about much.

[Dale Hellstray]

Really?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I like my dogs. They make me happy. So they'll like, murmur around them. That's like. But I mean, like, things make me happy. It's just. I'm not. I'm not running around going, isn't this great? Like, I see. Like, I get annoyed real fast.

[Brett Vesely]

Like, Ed.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Downstairs, ed's probably an 8 or a 9. And half time you just want to take a swing at him. And there's no reason.

[Dale Hellstray]

I don't know if that's a nine. A genuine nine.

[John Holmberg]

See? But that's what cynics would think.

[Brady Bogan]

Nope.

[Dale Hellstray]

I think it presents it as a nine.

[John Holmberg]

That's what a nine is. That's what you just think. You look at. You look at truly annoyingly happy people as a normal person, and you're like, what's this? What is he doing? And you get angry. Super happy people. They're annoying.

[Brady Bogan]

I met Ed's wife over the weekend.

[John Holmberg]

Probably a nice lady.

[Brady Bogan]

They're high school sweethearts. And they are.

[John Holmberg]

Just bothers me too.

[Brady Bogan]

Jesus. It's almost still like their high school sweetheart.

[Dale Hellstray]

It's almost still. Like, they're not quite.

[John Holmberg]

What, did they start doing homework together?

[Eric]

What?

[Brady Bogan]

Making out.

[John Holmberg]

They were making out.

[Brett Vesely]

She was wearing his letterman jacket. Ring on her chain.

[John Holmberg]

Can't stay long. Gotta go to the sock hop. No, I. And I like Ed, but I just like when he's too happy or too kind. You're like. You're up to something. Nobody trusts a happy guy. Yes.

[Brady Bogan]

This can't be real.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, exactly. Because have you seen outside? What do you hide? Like, there's. Have you. Do you have the Internet that. What are you so happy about? You can be moderately okay, but the second you start telling everybody you're nine, you're just not paying attention to the world.

[Brady Bogan]

Which is wild because a lot of times you hear that. This guy was amazing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Happiest guy I knew.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And that's. Immediately killed himself. Yeah, right. Exactly. They're the ones who are putting on a show.

[Dale Hellstray]

Wow. That took a dark turn.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, the owner of the.

[John Holmberg]

The first buddy.

[Dale Hellstray]

I forgot about that.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

First time you meet him, everyone say, what an amazing guy. And like, there were a couple that's like, this can't be real.

[John Holmberg]

Right? He offed himself. This one says, Brady, you're no. 7. Maybe if you had another kidney, but until then, you're a four buddy, just like the rest of us. That's right. If you don't have all your organs, you can't be a static.

[Brady Bogan]

But I guess that's the way I looked at it, too, because I did when you asked me that, like, well. Well, there's a part of the missing the kidney, but then I. The happiness comes that I feel fortunate to where I'm at.

[John Holmberg]

Sure, sure.

[Brady Bogan]

It could have been a lot worse. Surgery pretty bad though, right?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I mean, still tool around, but the.

[Brady Bogan]

Functioning of the kidney could be worse.

[John Holmberg]

Sure. You know, it could be worse. So is your life philosophy.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

In that category, that should be yours. Hey, things could be worse.

[Brady Bogan]

So enjoy it while you got it.

[John Holmberg]

I suppose that's an annoying message, but.

[Brady Bogan]

There's this woman in Orlando, Florida. She's suing Sea World after she was enjoying the Mako roller coaster and a duck flew in her face and knocked her out.

[John Holmberg]

She got Fabioed.

[Dale Hellstray]

Yeah, that's a good roller coaster, too.

[Brady Bogan]

She wants 50 grand at SeaWorld.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no kidding.

[Dale Hellstray]

If it's the one in San Diego, they have what one called the Mako?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, that's probably the same one.

[John Holmberg]

Wow. I didn't even know they had roller coasters at SeaWorld.

[Dale Hellstray]

Yeah, they got a bunch of rides.

[John Holmberg]

Now because they're waiting for all the whales to die because they can't have.

[Brady Bogan]

No, they started rolling in the rides a while back because of the.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well, they also got to kill all the way.

[Brady Bogan]

They. They have a lot of shows, but they're.

[Dale Hellstray]

They have a lot of shows.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they're grandfathered in. You're allowed to have whale shows till those whales die. That's what I'm saying. You can have, like I say, shows. Not the jumpy stuff, but. But, like, they're in tanks still because they can't let them go.

[Dale Hellstray]

That's the only thing you can. It's like an aquarium now, because they don't. They don't perform it.

[Brady Bogan]

They do. The dolphins, right. And a walrus, maybe.

[John Holmberg]

How badly?

[Dale Hellstray]

Walrus otters.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

How badly were they beavers? How badly were they beating those animals that they just said, all right, we'll stop. Because if you weren't.

[Dale Hellstray]

I think it was the video of that gal being taken down by her ponytail.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, the trainer.

[John Holmberg]

No, that's not it. You don't think so? They didn't care about the humans. That wasn't why they were like, something's wrong with the whales. And they're like, you're right, we better stop. Because most of the time, if I was a dog trainer and they're like, we're shutting you down. I'm like, I'll show you what I do. It's not bad. Like, if I wasn't doing anything horrible and somebody tried to shut me down and be like, no, no, you've got, you're. You're wrong. And I would show you. This is how we train them and it's totally great. It's humane and they love it. But SeaWorld got the heat for a while and then finally just said, you're right, we're horrible.

[Brady Bogan]

We gotta stop wherever it was. And I know that the, the documentary, it was at Spain or whatever, the court, you know, they just didn't have good, good areas that they're keeping.

[John Holmberg]

The little five bank roll, that's the eight o' clock word. Bankroll. Get on that. Take it in the app, put Bankroll in the 8 o' clock promo code. Maybe win a thousand dollars like our friends Ryan and Eric have already done. Yeah. SeaWorld just kind of caved in and everybody's all right. That's that. And like, can we have caved quickly? They did. And it was no more new sea creatures. The one when they die, it's over. Yeah.

[Dale Hellstray]

I don't know what they do now because they can't bring. Still have a rescue program.

[John Holmberg]

Well, the rescue thing is different. But they're supposed to rehabilitate them.

[Dale Hellstray]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

And then put them.

[Dale Hellstray]

Yeah, but where, where do they rehabilitate.

[John Holmberg]

And they could make a killer.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, I think in San Diego, there's a big pen where they rehab.

[Dale Hellstray]

Well, it's on the bay.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Think of this though. Look, we're the killer whales. How fast did they acquiesce to the tricks? They're killer whales.

[Brady Bogan]

Amazing how fast they.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I know. I mean, what were we doing to make them go, hey, chomper else?

[Dale Hellstray]

I know. We pissed off enough of them that they've taken down a few.

[John Holmberg]

We took their food away.

[Brady Bogan]

They were. It seemed like they're treat trained, most of them.

[John Holmberg]

They're food motivated. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

When they had the dancing chickens at Rawhide with the electric, they're saying they.

[John Holmberg]

Were electrifying the water. And Shamu just kept jumping out like it burns every time you gather water, he'd scream that. And we couldn't understand whale. And look at him go. He's just enjoying the hell out of himself out there. That's shamu and know that his back fin being off is not a sign of frustration or sadness. There he goes.

[Dale Hellstray]

This is what's happening now. They're attacking boats and sinking.

[John Holmberg]

Good. Well, that's their job. Same pod reportedly attacking another boat. Yeah.

[Eric]

Take that.

[Dale Hellstray]

Oh, my God.

[Brady Bogan]

It's the latest in a series of aggressive.

[Dale Hellstray]

Oh, my God.

[John Holmberg]

God, I've never seen such a thing here off Long Island. What is that? We moved up here to get away from the blacks, and now they're in the water. Oh, my God. It's eating her boat. And Last year, this $128,000 yacht was taken down by a pot of orcas in the Mediterranean. All of a sudden, I felt a really. It looks like someone who owns a $128,000 yacht. By the way, it sounds impressive because the word yachts, that's the cost of a trailer.

[Brady Bogan]

That's 18ft entry fee.

[John Holmberg]

It isn't a yacht so much as it is just a hobbyist's boat. Oh, my God, a yacht. It's not a yacht. It's a double wide. No, it's a yacht. It's a floating yacht. We got hit by killer whales. The whole pod.

[Brady Bogan]

The lady that wants the 50k from SeaWorld. The lawsuit also claimed that the Mako roller coaster disoriented birds and increase the risk of collision.

[John Holmberg]

How high is this thing?

[Brady Bogan]

And what is the. What kind of magic is the coaster doing?

[John Holmberg]

The birds are like, I'm hitting that.

[Brady Bogan]

Whoa.

[John Holmberg]

Tired of these people having that much fun. Birds are three, and people on that roller coaster are nines, and birds are taking them down. Yeah, I'm curious about SeaWorld. I want to talk to a SeaWorld executive and just go, why did you guys cave so fast? What were you doing? We were starving them until they did the jumps.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, there. There were multiple attacks on trainers, and then one guy jumped the fence.

[John Holmberg]

Nobody cares.

[Brady Bogan]

Go joy swimming.

[John Holmberg]

That's the risk. That's the cost of doing business with killer whales. Some of the trainers aren't gonna make it. I like that. There was a dude who first said, I bet you I could train that thing to do stuff. Yeah, you crazy? You're gonna try to make him do tricks. I'm gonna ride it. All right.

[Brady Bogan]

You can't ride that.

[John Holmberg]

Leon, hang on to this for a second. I'll be right back.

[Brady Bogan]

We've been doing it with dolphins.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well, that's another one of the first ones are like, I'd like to ride those. I wonder if they'd let me do it. Like water skis. What came first? Water skis or dudes just dragging around on dolphin backs? I bet you a dolphin guy that's. That to me, is human ingenuity. Like, we saw killer whale and said, I'm gonna tame that thing and I'm gonna make it do tricks. And then people will pay for my amazing killer whale. And. And then somewhere along the line, they're like, we need more of these. And then went and captured them.

[Brady Bogan]

Great white.

[John Holmberg]

That's one thing. Now that would be an impressive SeaWorld show, but the capturing a killer whale.

[Dale Hellstray]

Is also pretty impressive.

[Eric]

That's.

[Dale Hellstray]

How do you trick them to go into. It's not like getting your dog into a kennel.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, the biggest thing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, go and chum into the water, and then you slam the door behind him. And I got. I gotta start doing jumps, right?

[Dale Hellstray]

And then how do you calm them down if you've like.

[John Holmberg]

Well, you take that off.

[Brady Bogan]

You take the natural, like, kind of kill urge when you're feeding them. Like, I don't have to worry about my.

[John Holmberg]

But still food. You can do that with wolves too, and they get trusting of you. But they still. We eventually did that, but you can't.

[Brady Bogan]

Domesticate, you know, for dogs for the most part.

[John Holmberg]

Our experts will diagnose the problem and get you back on the road quickly. No tricks, just treats. So this Halloween, don't fear the road. Fear missing out on great Amco service.

[Brady Bogan]

Google Amco for your nearest location.

[John Holmberg]

That's Amco double A MCO transmissions and a whole lot more.

[Eric]

Holmberg's morning sickness.

[John Holmberg]

The wolves coming out of the wild. It took 50 generations of took a while. Coyotes before they could make it to where one wouldn't, like, default back to coyote. Natural feelings 50 generations before. Like, we can't trust these things. It's in them.

[Brady Bogan]

It doesn't take too long for dogs to.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, yeah. When they go feral and stage picking it out. But they're not in as good a shape as. Like that. But like a killer whale. Born in captivity. I suppose you could start training them when they're real little. Yeah, that's probably what it is. SeaWorld was up to something. I never understood why we paid top dollar to go to a place to have somebody just throw water on us. Like, it was like you walked out of there.

[Brady Bogan]

So.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Stinky.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, they love those. Yeah. Well, then on top of that, I mean, the rides. You get those log rides.

[John Holmberg]

But still, SeaWorld was like, hey, this fish's toilet is gonna get splashed on you if you're in the front row.

[Dale Hellstray]

About this text. You guys said this, but they actually had to stop doing shows with the whales because of what the whale that took the trainer down. It was the trainer's fault. She was not where she was supposed to be. My daughter interned with her and was training and working with her when that happened. My daughter is still one of the head trainers at SeaWorld World. OSHA made it so that they can't do whale shows unless they can get a whale out of the tank within 30 seconds, and that's not possible. So they don't get in the water anymore. In case there's an emergency, like, somebody falls in the water, you got to get that whale out of there. If they can't do that in 30 seconds, into another pen.

[Brady Bogan]

Wait, no show.

[John Holmberg]

If you're in the water, the whale will eat you.

[Dale Hellstray]

No, it's.

[Brady Bogan]

They just want it out.

[Brett Vesely]

Thanks, Ocean.

[Dale Hellstray]

Yeah, OSHA put some, you know, requirements on them.

[John Holmberg]

They're already in the water. That's the point of the show.

[Dale Hellstray]

Gotta be able to move them quickly to another pen. And you can't.

[Brady Bogan]

They have those gates where they open up to put them in the outdoor pen.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Jaws 3.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I know how I got that. Jaws 3D and the pens were not good enough, so they just whip the whale and try to get it to go into the. They had to.

[Brady Bogan]

I think it's like when things, you know, in the circus with the lions.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

They have those cages. Something goes wrong.

[John Holmberg]

I think Brett's right. I think that water was electrified. And they wore special suits that didn't conduct electricity. And those whales were just getting Shocked to the beach. Jesus. Sea World.

[Brady Bogan]

This family in Australia was cleaning up a shoreline in Wharton beach when their daughter found a bottle containing letters. They opened up the bottle in two letters. One was from Malcolm Alexander Neville and the other was William Kirk Har. They're soldiers serving in World War I. 1916.

[John Holmberg]

Found the bottle.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. When they got on the ship and getting deployed, they.

[John Holmberg]

Was it a note about how the two of them had turned gay during the war. And now they're going to tell their great grandkids, your grandfather wasn't a hero so much as he was a homosexual back in the time. And that wasn't. Okay.

[Brady Bogan]

Track down the relatives.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

And they got them the letter, got her back. The one guy died in. In the war. The other one survived.

[John Holmberg]

Just for the fun of it, I think I'm gonna write a note about how much I used to quietly and secretly love to blow Brady Bogan on a regular basis. In 100 years, it'd be like calling Kirby's kids.

[Brady Bogan]

It would be a new entry on your Wikipedia page.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I wouldn't care about me so much, but just Brady has his daughter and his daughter would be like 80.

[Brady Bogan]

Hey, man, they found adult.

[John Holmberg]

My dad's old co worker wrote it. Evidently used to hum on my old man quite a bit.

[Brady Bogan]

Man, we can speed it up. Just lob it in Tempe Town.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. See if you find a message in a bottle. It says, I like to secretly blow Brady all the time.

[Dale Hellstray]

Well, that'll get found sooner. Just don't they drain that every once in a while and clean it?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I don't know if they drain it. I think sometimes there's a leak.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't know if they.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, I don't know about the clean.

[John Holmberg]

Clean in Tempe Town Lake anytime soon. The Italians would lose their minds. There's some guys plenty deep enough for the Italians. If you promise me not to clean it. Yeah, as long as you guys aren't going down there with me.

[Brady Bogan]

There's a giant chlorine floater in there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's a message in a bottle. That must have come all the way from Rural Road. I'm just going to chuck it over. I'm going to head over to Tempe Marketplace and just throw my. My Brady blowjob message into the Tempe Town Lake and future generations can go there. Used to be sort of pseudo celebrities in town. And evidently behind the world's back, they gave each other oral pleasures every day. I gotta call his daughter. Hey, man, what's Going on. Remember your father?

[Eric]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

It's been a while.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, man.

[Brady Bogan]

What's up?

[John Holmberg]

John Hobart used to blow him on the reg. Did you know? Here's the letter. It's proven. There's pictures of him and it's great.

[Brady Bogan]

It's a fact.

[Dale Hellstray]

It's in his own hand, right?

[Brady Bogan]

Like a good Bogan. She'll say. No, I don't think that was. Oh, man.

[John Holmberg]

No. They were just napping there.

[Brady Bogan]

There's a Halloween hater in Seattle. He walked up to someone's yard display on Tuesday and torched it. Kicked over a casket. Tossed a skeleton dressed like painter Bob Ross set on fire. Oh, and he started tossing more decorations on top. It almost spread to the house, but thankfully the neighbors chased him off. Put the fire out. He's lighting clear if the cops have any leads. But the story does have a happy ending. A bunch of neighbors came over the next day and helped to clean up. They brought over some new decorations. Bob Ross has been restored.

[John Holmberg]

Good.

[Brady Bogan]

There he is. Skelly. Bob Ross.

[John Holmberg]

The worst Bob Ross I've ever seen.

[Brady Bogan]

But you look at it, you think that's Bob Ross?

[John Holmberg]

No, I don't. I look at it. Just looks like a chair.

[Dale Hellstray]

Yeah, that doesn't.

[John Holmberg]

How does it look like Bob Ross? Skeleton with a curly wig on. It's not even an Afro. Bob Ross's hair wasn't that long. Is he painting? At least he's sitting down. When did Bob Ross ever sit down? That's a terrible Bob Ross. It looks like Bette Midler.

[Brady Bogan]

But I bet you even Bob Ross wouldn't think that's a happy little accident.

[John Holmberg]

Well, you don't light Bob Ross on fire, have him come out of it smiling. I am so hell bent on the idea of multiple bottles all over the world. Wherever I go, I'm going to drop a bottle that I blow Brady and just like on it.

[Brady Bogan]

Just.

[John Holmberg]

Here's a crude drawing of Brady's favorite position. Reverse Cowboy Brady. I'm a reverse cowboy. That's my nickname. In the secret society of John and.

[Brady Bogan]

Brady, Lady Bunny ends up finding one in Lake Erie.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's in her pool. There's a bottle in our bathtub. John's leaving these everywhere. I just want that to be. I want history to be rewritten by.

[Brady Bogan]

Some sort of dated 2001.

[John Holmberg]

Miraculous, stupid thing. He didn't want to tell his parents he was a homosexual. So I. I took care of his credible desires and needs. And his appetite for blow jobs.

[Brady Bogan]

Got a couple of Brady videos.

[John Holmberg]

He also loved a finger in his bottom. And yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

First one's a new. Real quick.

[Dale Hellstray]

First of all, for. I don't know if you guys saw this already, but somebody said in they have a retro candy box that they got delivered to their house just yesterday.

[John Holmberg]

It's got all the sugar babies, razzles, candy smokes, and the acid pack Chuckles. Oh, chuckles are. They're jelly sugar. Oh. Oh, they're so good.

[Brett Vesely]

Chuckles. No.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, chuckles are. Chuckles were good.

[Dale Hellstray]

I remember the caramel creams. Wasn't a big fan of those either.

[John Holmberg]

I like those that had the.

[Dale Hellstray]

The marshmallowy or whatever.

[John Holmberg]

Cream pie. Sugar. It's a sugar bowl. Yeah. That's kind of a cool thing. You order that online? Yeah, apparently.

[Dale Hellstray]

Retro candy box, huh?

[John Holmberg]

Okay, the candy cigarettes were good. They're just not good for kids. A candy heroin, it would be the same thing. And which was liquor made. They taught you how to do cocaine with that stick, and you dip it out of the coat.

[Dale Hellstray]

That one had fun. Dip.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, here's got a new one.

[Brady Bogan]

Wart. A new wart. Man. I don't think I've seen this guy.

[John Holmberg]

Before, but this dude is head to toe.

[Brady Bogan]

Warts. These things are dropping. It's like grapes.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, guys, it's been a while since you've seen Jay Leno, but evidently I'm coated in watts now. It's old denim. He's in a 100% denim outfit. Did he just pop one?

[Dale Hellstray]

I think so.

[Eric]

The nerve.

[John Holmberg]

The nerve. He just squeezed one of his 10 million warts and he got one. He's itchy. Said, you see this?

[Dale Hellstray]

You see?

[John Holmberg]

That's the news. I moved down to Mexico, and I turned into a wart man.

[Brady Bogan]

What's your happy scale, sir?

[John Holmberg]

Well, it was a 10 until I woke up one morning covered in war warts, you know, and then I said, mavis, this is not good.

[Dale Hellstray]

And the first lady in the comments. Why do people in the comments think it's okay to laugh at a medical condition?

[John Holmberg]

Because a dude's sitting in, like, a city square scratching his warts, and then pops one that's looking at it, wipes.

[Brady Bogan]

It on his shirt, and oops, I dropped it.

[John Holmberg]

And then you know what I said right after that? Barry said, one down. And I wiped it on my denim, and I just, you know, I turned myself in a bubble wrap. I try to get all the of.

[Dale Hellstray]

Them, but my question is, he's got, like, earpods in. How does he.

[John Holmberg]

Does he know air? Yeah, I guess when you start hearing.

[Dale Hellstray]

Nope, nope, nope, there it is.

[John Holmberg]

There it is. Through that Sea of warts. I can now listen to. Highly suspect.

[Brady Bogan]

This was an AI video. That cracks me up. It's kind of. Remember that cheese rolling thing they do every year?

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady Bogan]

So they just jumbled them up and just.

[John Holmberg]

Gigantic fat people. A huge Irish hill.

[Brady Bogan]

Look at.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my God. Is AI the best thing that's ever happened to humanity? Look at the size of these hogs that the AI has created. Oh, my God. It makes me wish it was real. That's worst part. Look at the size of that wheel of the lads charging after it. Oh, the red bearded fella's gone. He's down. The lads charging after it. All right, that's enough. Fat people rolling. Because I could watch that all day.

[Brady Bogan]

Big to real.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, all right.

[Brady Bogan]

Calf with a tongue on the side of his throat.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, A calf that's got another mouth growing out from its face under its ear. And its tongue is.

[Brady Bogan]

I guess there's an eye too. An extra.

[John Holmberg]

It's got a second face popping. It's adorable. If it wasn't for the.

[Eric]

That.

[John Holmberg]

That. Yeah. That's the nation. I expect that's. Do they. They still have to make them drink their poo water. Yeah. No wonder those people do yoga all the time. I'd need to be relaxing every day if another one of my cows has grown a second face. They haven't had any nuclear incidents in India other than Bhopal, and that seemed to get everything. It's the only place we see double face nuclear battery.

[Dale Hellstray]

That was like battery acid or something.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, was it?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Either way, it affected all their cattle and stuff. Because the only nation you see that all that stuff happens regularly and they don't seem surprised by it. Is that acid. But it was chemical, whatever it was. Oh, it was a chemical spill. Right.

[Brady Bogan]

Fired up for the NBA.

[John Holmberg]

Kevin Durant got the ball stolen maybe. Oh, and then the guy smashes. Oh, God damn it.

[Brady Bogan]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

Guy from Brooklyn. That's a lot going on. Falls down onto the court. Yeah, It's Clowny and he from Durant. And when he falls down, he exhales. And then a lot of sn. Did you see that?

[Brady Bogan]

Okay, it's almost like he looks over. Are you seeing this?

[John Holmberg]

That is a full loogie coming out of his right nostril. Those poor kids that have to come out and push that around because when they get sweat on the ground, they got a mop. Ugh.

[Brady Bogan]

Looks like it was slipping around on the floor pretty good. Oh, clinging to it. It was like bouncing.

[John Holmberg]

Snot is the worst.

[Brady Bogan]

I think that was A just a.

[John Holmberg]

Cocaine I can do, probably. I can take pus, I can take juice. Man juice. Pretty poop. Any other snot, people start eating that or swimming around in that, I lose it. All right, Brett, what do you got? All right, that's gross light today.

[Brett Vesely]

So we'll start off with this.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, geez. Lady was a man. Those are a set of testicles. It's a man dressed as a lady. And he's got something in his butt. He's being whipped with a cat of nine tails.

[Dale Hellstray]

Yikes.

[John Holmberg]

And ripped on the sack he's got right into the back of his balls. What in the world? See, now this is where you ask me, what's your scale of happiness? And I get around an 8.

[Brett Vesely]

Some broad on TikTok while she's driving.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, she's driving and texting and she's got cameras everywhere. Oh, we're drifting off into the wrong lane. Oh, she straightened it out. That's a stop sign. Huh? She stopped. All right, good on you. Kid sees the stop sign, she's texting and driving like a pro. She's making a right. She's heading down this country road. 2 lane road. Back on the texting, though. She just can't stop sending that message. Yes, I want you 10 o', clock, meet me at. And then. Oh, she's drifting. Now we got oncoming traffic on the two lane. Oh, boy, this is taking a long time. She's drifted off to the right and she starts crying. It's her own fault, dummy. Yep, gotta race to the D. And.

[Brett Vesely]

We'Ve seen these kind of videos before.

[John Holmberg]

But we're in one of these textile factories and there's a guy sitting there as a humongous spinning wheel behind him of paper.

[Dale Hellstray]

Which one is gonna get it?

[John Holmberg]

And he's pushing. He's. There's a guy up top that's on the other side of the spinning wheel. This guy's.

[Brett Vesely]

He's gone.

[John Holmberg]

He's gone. Oh, they just made paper out of him. Oh, it spun him around a couple times. Is he still in there? Where'd he go?

[Brett Vesely]

I think he's down here now.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, this thing is going a million miles an hour.

[Dale Hellstray]

I think parts of him are still in there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he's screwing up the paper. Oh, they're pulling them out the side. That's not good.

[Dale Hellstray]

Yeah, I don't think that's gonna work.

[John Holmberg]

No, I think o' clock amount. Yeah. Plus gonna get mad if we got to pay his family any extra. Extra. Oh, there he is. They just took the roll Off.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, he shook it off.

[Dale Hellstray]

Did he get up?

[John Holmberg]

Is he in there?

[Brady Bogan]

No. Oh, what's left?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's what's left of it. Yeah. There's just chunks of dude all over the place.

[Eric]

What.

[John Holmberg]

What are they making there with that horrible machine? It does look like. Gotta be a better way. Yeah, there's gotta be a way than the death spinner. You know, there's no safety at all around that thing. You just put your foot on it.

[Brett Vesely]

You've seen what country it was in.

[John Holmberg]

We don't need any safety. If we're too stupid to not hit it, then we will survive. Otherwise.

[Brett Vesely]

Here's a hillbilly trying to get his.

[John Holmberg]

Motorcycle in the back, loading it up in the back of his truck. Got on the ramp. Little ladder. Ramp. Darn it all. Installed it. I got to try to ride it up. Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take some clothes off here. Thinks the problem was I was wearing too many layers. Get rid of this coat. Going to hop right on the bike. He is going to jump. This is. Yeah, I know how to ride one of these. Not my first day. That's why I'm filming it. He's trying to. He's got the double rim.

[Dale Hellstray]

He's going into the house.

[John Holmberg]

He's going to jump his truck. Yep. Oh, no. He's going right into the. He landed it. He fell out of the truck. Because he crashed into the back of his own truck.

[Eric]

Truck.

[John Holmberg]

And he stood up. Dismount. Solid.

[Brett Vesely]

Now he's got to call Shane Orlando to get that truck.

[John Holmberg]

That's all right. Shane will take care if you. If you're an idiot. Shane doesn't care.

[Brett Vesely]

And here's what happens.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, there's a bunch of Palestinian people making a human chain off. They're in a crosswalk. I don't know if. Looks like Spain or France or something or New York. And a car just. The car's just like.

[Eric]

Don't care.

[John Holmberg]

Goes an arm. Oh, my God. The dude just ran them over.

[Brett Vesely]

And we'll just end with this for.

[John Holmberg]

There was a Jew driving by. Didn't like that protest. Okay.

[Brett Vesely]

And we'll just end with this for no apparent reason.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I got to lose this baby fat. Oh, God. Oh, it's a fat lady in a bathtub throwing up.

[Eric]

Up.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, what is going on? Oh, she's bathing in her own. You missed a good one there. Why is this woman doing this? No idea. It's a fat lady in a bathtub. Just look at the chunks in there. I was I saw her. I saw her. Oh, you mean the puke. Oh, the puke. Okay, let's take another look at the third one. The third one's the one to pit. There's one that's just kind of the.

[Brady Bogan]

That's the one. Water.

[John Holmberg]

That's just the water she's taking to get. Oh, that's nice. Look, Brady, you turn. This is a good one. That's the strongest. Oh God. And look at the chunks that aren't her collecting in the bay.

[Brady Bogan]

The vag bay.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Cuz she's sitting crisscross applesauce. So she's collecting and her little guy. I like Vag bay. That might be a good band name too. Oh my God. All right. Oh my God. By the way, this guy says, I saw the video of that girl who crashed her car a little bit ago. She had rented that car from a private person who thought they could make some money by renting cars to people. It was the owners who put the camera in for liability. She tried to claim somebody ran her off the road. Road. All right, well, let's take a look at the tape. Oh, there's video. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Oops.

[Dale Hellstray]

Then she did that cry again.

[John Holmberg]

Scooby Doo noise when she like. Let's get out of here, Scoob. We're caught in lie. I told you not to lie, Shaggy. Like you always lie, Scoob.

[Brady Bogan]

Unbelievable. On that two lane county road, cars are going 50.

[John Holmberg]

That's fine. I'm good at texting and driving, but I'm not going to do it on that road. Yeah, it's 8:29. I tried for a long time to be good person who didn't text and drive. I am. I can't not do it. Sometimes a funny joke pops up. Brad will send me something and I've got a response that if I don't do it right now, the world laughs a little less. Less. The word is bankroll.

[Brady Bogan]

Can't wait to hear you.

[John Holmberg]

Oh yeah. I don't have any video for that very reason. If I die, it's not going to be on videotape. I'm not offering that up. I don't even like social media. I won't have one of those, let alone.

[Brady Bogan]

So if you wreck, it's a fender bender or you lose control the side of the road and it's from texting. Just off yourself. Right.

[John Holmberg]

Then if I'm on video.

[Brady Bogan]

No.

[John Holmberg]

First off, I destroy the camera.

[Eric]

Cameras.

[John Holmberg]

I'm like, oh God, I just look like a jackass. That's my fault. No, I'm not. Not loading my car up.

[Brady Bogan]

Brett, I need your help.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's who I'd call Brett. A lot of dumb stuff, starting with made my whole car a camera. I'm a pen.

[Brady Bogan]

I got this. I'll be there in 20 minutes.

[John Holmberg]

Why would you incriminate yourself driving around with your own cameras? So I get $9 off a month for insurance. That's just gonna get you. It's 8:30. The word for 8 o' clock is bankroll. Bankroll. That's the one you put in the 8 o' clock box. You got about 10 more minutes of that 9 o'. Clock, we give you another one, and you guys can get it together and win by taking it in the air.

It's good to hear real human beings making music. I kind of like. And Limp Bizkit is right there because I am getting every single day. Now somebody's sending me another AI song that is just spectacular. And it makes me like, there's. There's a. I just got. Let me see if I can find this one real quick. This is Lightning Crashes. If it were a soul song, like a 70s soul cover, and if this was real human beings and you were at like, let's say you're at a bar or something, and this. These dudes just like, how y' all doing tonight? We're live souls. And they brought your.

[Brady Bogan]

I could see you doing a church service.

[John Holmberg]

Your jaw would drop to the floor. This would be one of those moments where like, it would be television history. And they could. You remember when those guys came out and did that version of it. This is unreal.

[Eric]

How cool this is.

[John Holmberg]

And it's all fake. Lightning crash. Sounds a little like Chris Staples or no. Jelly roll. Really?

[Eric]

Kind of.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Only good. You're right. Only gets a cut to the heart. They get the. The church choir kind of in the background going, everything's fake now. This is one of the coolest covers of a song. They didn't have to change much. We could have done this had we thought of it. Humans. Maybe next year, Night of the Singing Dead will be all AIs because they're not real. They're not alive. They're haunting us. Come on. Back again. Not the rolling like a church revival.

[Eric]

Beautiful.

[John Holmberg]

Damn it all.

[Brady Bogan]

American Idol.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, you. I don't know what's going on with AI and what the future holds with it, but right now, making fat people roll around, destroying Bob Ross, Mr. Rogers. Some reason Kobe Bryant snuck in there, and he's done a lot of stuff with helicopters. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. It hasn't been used for. For evil in my life yet. It's going to go that direction. But really, you know what I think, knowing what we know is that all new technology is needed first and then eventually becomes a weapon of war. Let's just put our arms around AI right now and say, hey, thanks, buddy, before you take off and become the worst thing ever. I've really enjoyed our time together. Because it's a matter of time, with an election year coming up, you're just gonna be. You're gonna be a nuke. We're just waiting. But right now, covering, you know, this the kind of stuff we're dealing with here, where you're just kind of screwing around with me and taking songs I know and making them awesome. You're my friend right now, AI. You're my friend. It's not gonna last long, though. You're gonna. You're gonna turn even. It's kind of like being friends with Anakin Skywalker Walker. I know what's coming. I know this isn't gonna end well. Yeah. Up until that point, he was just a kid who wanted to race. Pods seemed okay, but metichlorian levels were so higher. Chloromedians or whatever they were. A lot of people knew this could turn. We all know that about AI Listen to. And it's almost like you're looking at your. You're on your porch waving to AI as it walks away from your house and it turns and gives you a wink, and then the next time you see it, it's just this tornado of hellfire and misery because that's coming. It gave us some good stuff before it went crazy.

[Brett Vesely]

You know who would cover this great Michael McDonald. Oh, he'd do a great cover, though.

[John Holmberg]

You don't even need him. I know. No, let's go get a little Michael McDonald cover and have him cover everything you love. Maybe not.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't know.

[Brady Bogan]

Maybe.

[John Holmberg]

No, it works. It's so good. All right. God damn it, AI. Yeah, I already know we're gonna break up with AI and it's not gonna.

[Brady Bogan]

Go well, but take us a year for an album. You can do it in 15 minutes.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, then be better than what?

[Brett Vesely]

Imagine how long Chinese democracy would have taken with AI.

[John Holmberg]

Man, 10 years. Again, let's just. You know what? Let's look this gift horse in the mouth for a second. Just. Thanks, AI. Now off you go to destroy planets, because that's what you're. That's what someone's going to use you for, and that's what you're going to end up being known for. Because this is not going to be be fun and games the whole time.

[Brady Bogan]

Maybe that's what we should do when we're testing our nukes. Just AI videos.

[John Holmberg]

Make it fake nukes.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Guy says it sounds like Terence Trent Darby. Lgbqtr. Qrsd. Yeah, I don't know what he is now either, but I know you're talking about. Yeah. Oh, it says John. What are you talking about? Did you see that, AI? That what it did to that kid that killed himself? Chat GPT. No, but I haven't seen that. But I know it's out there and I know that's going to be what it ends up doing all the time. It's not always going to be cute covers. Eventually it's going to be murders and all of them are going to be AI's fault wars. There'll be no more elections. We were worried about election tampering with hanging chads. That's baby head with this dude's doing anyway. But I am currently just kind of taking a breath going, thanks, thanks. I'm just gonna call it Anakin. Thanks, Anakin. I don't know what your future holds, but I know it's bad and I know it's gonna harm us all. But God damn it, you left us some fine music to start with. It'll be three or four years before Brett and I are sitting in there in our apocalyptic houses. Brett will Be long gone. There's no doctors in the future.

[Brady Bogan]

Just close left.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's it. Just. Well, no, some you're. You're thinking that Jesus, you're thinking that Jesus came for you, but he's not. And you, you'll be. You'll be dead of kidney causes. Cuz the doctors are going to be gone and the AI is going to have taken over and killed friends and everything else. And Brett and I will be sitting there just going, hey, remember that. Remember that ice cube cover a I did before it started to kill everybody?

[Brady Bogan]

I do.

[John Holmberg]

I remember. Remember the Sopranos jokes when they made them babies? That was fun. Remember when AI was just an infant? Infant seemed harmless. And now it's Damien moments away. But I'll take it while we got it. Speaking of things we gotta take while we got it, Dale Hellstray is going to come in here a little bit and I do that podcast with Dale Hellstray and guest Dave Nash. And Dave Nash is a massive conspiracy theorist and it's hard not to listen to him sometimes and just think, where are you getting all this? Well, Kim Kardashian is now saying there was no moonlight landing. And the more you look into this, oh my God, don't go on the Internet. Maybe don't go on the Internet and start looking that up. It's hard not to go. Hold on a second. I saw and I don't know if this was real or not. I saw the video of the lunar module thingy taken off after we were done up there and I'm like that goes heading back to Earth. It is the fakest thing I've ever seen in my life. Nothing cartoonish.

[Brady Bogan]

They never show that launched that and that.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they leave atmosphere, the little staircase and whatever. And then they just get on this thing. It goes. And when it leaves it's like, oh my God, that's not. That's Barbarella bad. There they go, heading home. Astronauts now taking their. Taking their leave of the moon. Everything seems to be going swimmingly well because no problems.

[Brady Bogan]

They left a camera going.

[John Holmberg]

I guess that's another thing. I'm like, well the thing just kept running.

[Brady Bogan]

It's the original selfie.

[John Holmberg]

Takes off. Everything seems to going well as not speaking with Houston and the boss. I had a home and then they parachute. All that technology and they parachuted back in. Can land on the moon, but you couldn't land on earth.

[Brady Bogan]

It does throw your up nice too.

[John Holmberg]

Throw yourself at the planet and hope you hit water. But you. Oh, I'm starting to get weird about it.

[Brady Bogan]

It's all math, man.

[John Holmberg]

No, I know, but they're like, we don't have any way to land you here. We'll get you safely there. But coming back home, you just.

[Eric]

You're a roc.

[John Holmberg]

We're just gonna skip you across the Atlantic. Okay. Hit the Earth and. Coming up pretty hot. Coming up pretty hot. You got any wheels or landing gear on this? No, we don't have any landing gear. He's gonna hit the water hard. It seems unreasonable, but. All right. That's exactly how it is.

[Brady Bogan]

What is. I wonder what the impact was. I mean, the chutes.

[John Holmberg]

Well, the shoots. Did a nice job with shoots, but essentially, the plan was we get you the moon, you break out this awesome little landing thing. It's got legs, and it's like an erector set. It's gonna casually just kind of drop down, and when you come home, you're just gonna be in a disc, and we're gonna chuck you at the planet.

[Brady Bogan]

So that could have been a plane. They just a C5, C130, whatever, and just drop the pod out. So the parachutes come down. Yeah, the splash down. That's the easy cover.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's. Oh, it's really. But when you see that video of it leaving the moon, I'm like, that's not. I've never seen it in my life. And I'm like, I don't know if that's just me up or not. Starts making you wonder.

[Brady Bogan]

Geyser springs. Burn marks from breaking back in the atmosphere in the pod.

[John Holmberg]

This one says, look up the Van Allen radiation belts. And then tell me how the hell NASA got film through them. You can't take film through security camera. And then I'm watching all these videos of Buzz Aldrin on talk shows going, we never went. He was there. He was on Conan o'. Brien. And he broke out with those.

[Brady Bogan]

Just got him in the tail land.

[John Holmberg]

It may be some little girl asked him a question. Like, she's like nine. And she goes, why don't we go back? And he goes, because we never went.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, man.

[John Holmberg]

It's like, nine. Like, why are you messing with her? Buzz, stop. I don't know. I want dementia. Don't worry about it. As an old man. He's got moon poisoning. He's got poisoned up there and makes him say crazy lunar crazy. He went, they got the lunar craziest happens. That's why we don't go back and answer any question. And Buzz can't do it because he's nuts. So I gotta sit with him again today for an hour or so talking about conspiracies and things, and he's starting to make sense. And that makes me worry, Nash. Making sense is not good. And then Dale's like, well, I looked.

[Eric]

Into a few of these things.

[John Holmberg]

Oh no, I got him too. Anyway, Dale will be here in a second. See if he's got any conspiracy theories. Because he came to my house Sunday for the Steelers game and was soundly booed on his way out the door, which was hilarious. Everybody booed Dale as he came in as Ravens gear jackass Steelers got trounced because of him. It's 8:58. We got Dale coming up. Your word for 9am Is thousand thousand. Not a thousand thousand. That's it. You put it in that promo code for 9am in a couple of minutes and you are going to qualify yourself for $1,000 by taking it in the app.

[Brady Bogan]

It's not weird. It's pretty cool, actually.

[John Holmberg]

No membership fees. I have heard enough of this.

[Eric]

Holmberg's morning sickness.

[John Holmberg]

The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail in the name of love. Ow. That's great stuff. Highly suspect right there. Highly suspect.

[Eric]

Is that AI?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

No, it feels like it.

[Eric]

You almost have to check everything now.

[John Holmberg]

It's. It will just wait. This is the brand new stuff Dale just. Just started.

[Eric]

It will be used for bad.

[John Holmberg]

Everything is.

[Eric]

It will be used for bad.

[John Holmberg]

Sting said it in his song. I've never seen a. What is this? What is the thing? Something of technology. Modern technology that wasn't used as a weapon of war.

[Eric]

Yeah, it's gonna be. It's gonna be bad.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Everything starts with a good intention. Like, this is great. What a great invention. And then the next thing you know, we're blowing up people in the Middle east with it going. It works, Dale. Hell straight is here right now. We got lots to talk about today, Dale. Dale's brought to you by our [e-mail] and you can now see what they did to my sport court. It's awesome. Dale's at my house on Sunday and so it's pretty cool, right?

[Brady Bogan]

Did you hoop it up, Dale?

[Eric]

The only thing I have a question about the who.

[John Holmberg]

Well, come on.

[Eric]

I walked out there and John did look like he was. He was playing right handed, but he's left handed basketball.

[John Holmberg]

Been drinking all day. Come on.

[Eric]

Oh, he's making excuses. I mean, I. I felt bad for the backboard, the rim. Nothing was getting.

[John Holmberg]

Well, you know. You know What? That very well could be true because when he shot, he didn't hit either one. So he was taking it easy on him.

[Eric]

But the one question. And I was at my alma water saor a couple weeks ago on the basketball court, they had a little reunion and I'm like, is that hoop really 10ft mine? No. Well, that yours and this one. Cuz I've now seen two basketball hoops and I used to be an okay basketball player. And it's like, I think that hoops 11 foot tall.

[John Holmberg]

It feels like it's ever away. When we filmed the commercial for diamond coatings az we did on the court.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And, and I'm shooting, I'm hitting everything. They're like, oh, this can be great. So they said, the camera guy said, all right, I'm going to film you from behind. Just make a layup, turn around and go, hey, it's John Holberg from seven layups. I've clanked. I. I could not for the better defense stand behind me with a camera because I was useless. Like the ball's falling out of my hands. It's going. I'm like, why?

[Eric]

I. I'm.

[John Holmberg]

I just did this like 25 times in a row. The second that camera rolled, I could not hit. I. I mean. And then we lowered the backboard to make it look like I dunked down to like seven and a half feet. And I still got a little step stool just in case I go ahead and stretched. So I'm like, ah, I'll just hang off. I'm stand on this thing. So I mean, it's pretty obvious that's what it is when I'm standing there.

[Eric]

But, but the court, it's awesome. Awesome.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you. Yeah.

[Eric]

And it does come with other teams. Right? Right. Like. Like they do a cowboys theme.

[John Holmberg]

They invented that for me.

[Eric]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

They ordered the to mud on there. If you want to, if you want to do anything, they can dream it up. They did it. And I even said, let's get it. Like, you know, like the. It's tacky. Like you like the. It's got.

[Eric]

Well, that's what I wonder. When I first walked on, I said, does it have a little. What I used to be able to play it.

[John Holmberg]

Have a little. It's got some stick and cut. You're not sliding on the. What they did was incredible. And it's made up. Like they're like, we have all this material, let's see what we can do. And they came up with a color scheme. They put the Steeler stuff on it it's so, it's so nice. It's gorgeous. Yeah. So thank you. And diamond coatings. AZ did it all. And that was, you know, all I said was Steeler stuff. That's. It's dumb to have a basketball court with Steelers stuff on it. But I'm dumb and I want that. And they did it. You can do it with your kids pictures. You can do anything you want.

[Eric]

See, that's what's crazy. Yes.

[John Holmberg]

And they can figure it out. It's awesome. And they do that UV stable stuff. The epoxy floors. Arizona will not run ruin it. So it's got years and years of life ahead of it.

[Brady Bogan]

Dale, you could do with the Jordan pose.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, put your head on Jordan above.

[Eric]

That six foot rim.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, man.

[John Holmberg]

I don't. Dale, Dale comes over and he's watching me and my friend Joe and J.D. we're just shooting. We're playing horse. By the way, did you see how I won the game?

[Eric]

No, I, I, whoever won that game, playing pig. So because there's no way you guys didn't make any shots.

[John Holmberg]

I go back to the basket from 22ft. One hand, one hand. And, and Joe even goes. Come on. It's boom.

[Eric]

Well, that's probably better because when you're shooting face in the basket, it wasn't working.

[John Holmberg]

Killing it. That's how I won the game, Dale. I was crushing.

[Eric]

Okay, so I go over to John's house. I go over there, what, maybe probably twice a year.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, a couple of games a year.

[Eric]

You know, usually the prime times. Because I don't want to out with him Sunday mornings. I'm praying for him as, as the Sundays take off. But I show up. I, I like to do this because his band of merry men, they're all. Yes. And, and some very pretty girls.

[John Holmberg]

All right.

[Eric]

Your wife.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Calm down. You like Susie?

[Eric]

She's very friendly and all that. She's a cowboy side.

[John Holmberg]

But she works with mentally challenged kids. So Dale comes over and she feels bit little a at home, but.

[Eric]

And she makes a great brownie.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she does.

[Eric]

I don't know what that means.

[John Holmberg]

I hope we're talking about the same thing.

[Eric]

Yeah, but the Ravens send me a three games. They send me something every year. It was a hoodie one year. This, this year they sent me. What's that called?

[John Holmberg]

A beanie.

[Eric]

A beanie and a regular, you know, golf cap.

[Brady Bogan]

Okay.

[Eric]

And so I, I come right walking in big skies, just lose their mind.

[John Holmberg]

He's got his stupid raven and he looks, looks like Lamar.

[Eric]

Lamar.

[John Holmberg]

Lamar was the second ugliest raven that day.

[Eric]

I could get some grill.

[John Holmberg]

Dale even admitted it. He goes. He goes, I gotta take this off. I look so bad in this.

[Eric]

I got about. I got about two minutes.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't ever think that Dale would reveal all of Dale once. I'm like, that's better. Like, just like, covering it up is usually a good idea. Not with that. Ravens being. It had nothing to do with the rain.

[Eric]

Ravens.

[John Holmberg]

Just the way that things sat on your head. It was. I don't have a beanie head either. I look. I look very cancerous in one of those. I look really sick in a beanie, but that's something.

[Eric]

The raven sent me. A lot of people like that, you know, It's a high, high quality. Whatever. Anyway, yeah, so did that. They got jeered by all his knuckleheads.

[John Holmberg]

Booed you heavily out, too.

[Eric]

Well, I. I was gonna get to that, but a couple things. Like I said, I've probably been there two or three times over the last year and a half.

[John Holmberg]

I don't think they've won a game with you there.

[Eric]

Yes, because you made me stay.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's right. Because you left one earlier and we end up losing it. That's right.

[Eric]

You're right. Yeah. I left with the lead. They lost. It's my fault. Yep. And so I show up and I've come up two or three times now. One, I bought pizzas last year.

[John Holmberg]

That's true.

[Eric]

Okay. And I only came to two games.

[John Holmberg]

That's right.

[Eric]

No, I bought bottom kicked in. Just stop with the kick in.

[John Holmberg]

He kicked in.

[Eric]

Give me the 20.

[Brett Vesely]

He didn't buy him.

[John Holmberg]

How much did he throw in?

[Eric]

He.

[John Holmberg]

He. He. He paid pizza.

[Eric]

He paid.

[John Holmberg]

He paid a good amount.

[Eric]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

He gave the minimum.

[Eric]

Okay, so that's a perfect example. I. I brought a big bottle of the vodka that he likes. Not big enough. I. I brought flowers to his wife. That's a problem.

[Brett Vesely]

He sounds like a great guest, actually.

[John Holmberg]

He.

[Eric]

Guess what I said. F. John Holberg.

[John Holmberg]

What?

[Eric]

I'm just gonna show up. Yeah. And guess what? He hasn't bitched and moaned anything. I brainstorm. Except for I get busted. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

He's pouring all my alcohol into one of his cups, and he goes, you got any 7Up, Coke or anything?

[Eric]

Come on. What kind of. What kind of bar?

[John Holmberg]

Somebody drank it all. We did. We had it and it was gone.

[Eric]

And then the last thing I did have.

[John Holmberg]

Mixers. I got you.

[Eric]

Yeah, you did You. Thank you. And the last thing I want to tell you, just. I don't think you even know this, John, is the fact that I just took that seat and evidently your wife was sitting next to that seat and your boy Chris on the other side. And boy, a lot of stupidity in that room.

[John Holmberg]

But that's the way to talk about.

[Eric]

When I got to Chris and so I sat down and your wife's very nice, very conversational. I started talking and yeah, whatever. The show, podcast, whatever came up, I said, do you listen to John? She was not really. But when I do listen, do the podcast, I like to listen to Thursday mornings when you, when you're on.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's very nice.

[Eric]

Yeah, yeah. It's not a lie. It's not a lie.

[Brady Bogan]

She was before that. She's like, what day do you guys do that?

[John Holmberg]

She saw you in that beanie and she thought maybe had like a day or two left to live. And she's like, you better say nice things to this guy.

[Eric]

And as I walked out, as John said, everybody booed me. I was just trying to get away cuz the stupidity was chasing me out the door and I could feel it. I could feel on my ass as I tried to get out the door. Boom, shut the door. I felt smarter.

[John Holmberg]

Let's get into a better talk about this. Dale's wife's dying to meet me.

[Eric]

That did come up.

[John Holmberg]

Dale's wife is sick.

[Brett Vesely]

I thought he forbid that.

[John Holmberg]

Never going to happen. He's attempted to keep me away from her.

[Eric]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

For reasons that we all realize.

[Eric]

We've known each other for how long?

[John Holmberg]

Sexual.

[Eric]

10 years?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, at least. Yeah.

[Eric]

Okay. And, and, and I say, hey, I'm doing this with John or I'm golfing with John or.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Eric]

And never, ever, ever she ever said, well, can I meet John? But this Sunday? Yeah, it's a Sunday night. And she said, how come I don't get invited? I said, you, you. There are a bunch of idiots there. You wouldn't have any fun on. She goes, are you. Are you not. Are you ashamed of introducing me?

[Brady Bogan]

Here we go.

[Eric]

I'm like, oh, my God. Now we're two steps away from this actually have having to happen.

[John Holmberg]

And he tells me, he goes, you go out to dinner or something. Can you behave? I'm like, I will treat that so nice.

[Eric]

He's gonna flip Brooke off. And John and I get in a fist fight.

[John Holmberg]

And then she'll see, oh, a real man. And then we'll go home together. She's very curious about me, Dale.

[Eric]

I bought boo. She threw that out.

[Brady Bogan]

So maybe by the end of the year, that'll be the last. Dale. She won't let you come on.

[John Holmberg]

Such a gentleman.

[Brett Vesely]

She doesn't listen on Thursday mornings.

[Eric]

She doesn't know what station.

[John Holmberg]

She doesn't even know about this. I am. I am his man.

[Brett Vesely]

Mistress.

[Eric]

What He. John's asked off the air. There is. So what if she calls you and she needs to see you. There's an emergency. I'd say I'd be out of here so quick going back to my other studio.

[John Holmberg]

Because you're supposed to be at the other show right now.

[Eric]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

You lie to her.

[Eric]

Dave Nash is part of our podcast. That's okay because she's Matt. Dave.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. But I am still some sort of weird.

[Eric]

Yeah. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You know that the wild card that could turn her into an absolute.

[Eric]

Absolute.

[John Holmberg]

Sounds. Sex demon.

[Brett Vesely]

Sounds like a great relationship. And you have to lie to your wife.

[John Holmberg]

Exactly.

[Eric]

Only thing I've lied to her about my entire life.

[John Holmberg]

Wow. That's not true. You've lied. That's a lie too.

[Eric]

That's the biggest thing.

[Brady Bogan]

There's one thing.

[Eric]

Garbage. It's the biggest thing.

[John Holmberg]

I'm the biggest lie in your life.

[Eric]

My dead body. Will she ever be John Hol.

[John Holmberg]

And here it is. Is the. The biggest lie in his life is me.

[Eric]

That's a lie too.

[John Holmberg]

That's non stop big. Yeah. So I would. I. I'd be happy to meet her. She seems right. And your daughters are lovely.

[Eric]

They.

[John Holmberg]

They've contacted me several times.

[Eric]

Well, not several. But they. But they like you. They. They get a kick out of you. Brook's a different breed.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know what that means.

[Eric]

So. Well, that means that my dog.

[John Holmberg]

She's got terrible taste humor.

[Eric]

So. She's got great. She got great eyes.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Eric]

She's beautiful.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know.

[Eric]

2020 vision. Yeah. And all that. So.

[John Holmberg]

She's been hypnotized to like Brady.

[Eric]

Why can't he just give me a compliment?

[John Holmberg]

I did. I said your wife is lovely.

[Eric]

As far as I know.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah. Of course. We all did.

[Eric]

I would do. I. I'm.

[John Holmberg]

What?

[Eric]

I'm. I'm kind of. I'm kind of. I'm kind of inching towards. I would do a double date with.

[John Holmberg]

I think it should just be me and you and her.

[Eric]

That will never happen.

[John Holmberg]

I think just at first.

[Eric]

The thrift. You know what?

[John Holmberg]

Maybe I'll just call Brooke and go. I know you've got some trepidations.

[Brady Bogan]

Why don't you guys, the three of you just go for like afternoon tea.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Like a coffee or like. I know Brooke And I get reservations about me, but I just want to go out. And just one on one.

[Eric]

Brooke go out. And then since Megan's so into me, Megan and I will go out.

[John Holmberg]

That's fine. Okay. And that's fine.

[Eric]

But if she says, john, don't come home, then, well, what are you gonna do?

[John Holmberg]

What else is new? That's fine. I'll have a house with Brooke anyway. It'll be lovely.

[Eric]

Not as nice as yours.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it's a nice house.

[Eric]

And by the way, that basketball court.

[John Holmberg]

Would be be changed and turn into a gay court. You turn into Cowboys court.

[Eric]

You're weird about your Steelers. You're weird. And you admit that?

[John Holmberg]

Very much. Admit that. I got this, too. It says, morning. John wanted to say. This is from Adam. Martinez wanted to say, I really enjoy the sports thing podcast. Dale often mentions that he does another show, the Main Event. And because I liked your podcast cast, I decided to support Dale as well and give it a go. I didn't last 10 minutes. Boring. Atrocious. I like Dale, but, man, we got to get him on. Just with you now as he's tearing up your other podcast. I've never listened to it.

[Eric]

So is Martinez one of these guys you picked up off the street and brought?

[John Holmberg]

No, he's a random listener who emailed me and said, your bread's buttered with Johnny. And that's what Dale knows, or he wouldn't be doing this podcast.

[Eric]

I enjoy your company, but I always see this white van outside of John's house when I go over there, and I think that's he just sent somebody down to Indian school. You come with me.

[Brett Vesely]

You.

[Eric]

I got a jerk for you. He's racist.

[Brady Bogan]

Picking up fans.

[Eric]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, There were a couple. I'll feed you. I'll feed you. I won't pay for it, but we.

[John Holmberg]

Had like 30 people there last night.

[Eric]

A lot of people Sunday night.

[John Holmberg]

Sunday night came and they knew I was coming, and they did not know it. But, yeah, it was a fun night. And I'm very excited about hanging out with your wife again. I mean, for the first time, that'll be fun for me and her.

[Eric]

Maybe that's why it looks so good. If you two have met before. That's why I. I look so good. No, that's why.

[John Holmberg]

That's why she wants to see me again. That's right. No, I've never met.

[Eric]

She actually said, is this nose really that bad?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, come on. Then she is listening. Then she knows. Let's get to why you're here. Sports, quickly. Suns are in action, and they are a frustrating mess. Last night, I didn't understand. I was at the game. And here's what I have to say about this. I think you and I have talked about this, but you have convinced me completely. This. This city just cannot not have nice sports things. Cardinals are a catastrophe. ASU lost last week and they're. And they're going to lose again. And it's like kind of that Ugg where they're just a Sun bowl again or something like that. They're going to El Paso or San Diego for one of those holiday bowls. And then. And then you got the Suns, and the Suns had their run and now they're down. I've said this a little bit before, but last night I watched it happen, and I'm like, yeah, I'm right about this. I have to be the person who questions whether or not Devin Booker cares about.

[Eric]

See, I just said that on the main event an hour ago. I said, if they've got to get.

[John Holmberg]

Rid of him, they've got to get rid of.

[Eric]

He does not. He doesn't have fun playing basketball.

[John Holmberg]

It doesn't look like it.

[Eric]

The only time I've seen him enjoy playing basketball is on the Olympic team. And when I. When I watch him, when it doesn't matter if they're winning.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Eric]

Or they're losing.

[Dale Hellstray]

I'm.

[John Holmberg]

I'm rooting harder for him to have a championship than I think he is. Like, I'm like you.

[Eric]

I. I'm.

[John Holmberg]

I want him to go and not because I don't like him. I think he's a great person. I think he's super nice. I met his family. He didn't even know that. I've met his family. I flew with his sister and his mom from here to laugh.

[Eric]

You met everybody's family?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. I don't know. But that just happens to me. I met his dad at a game, hanging out with him. And Kevin Ray is like a catalyst. Like, oh, that's Devin's mom. So I was with Kevin both times.

[Eric]

Okay?

[John Holmberg]

So he just seems like a wonderful person. But the fact he resigned with this team. And what I watched last night when with four seconds left and down, he just chucks a ball from 30, 39ft. And I'm like, there's four seconds left. Did he not see that?

[Eric]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

And he's like, dad, what are you going to do? Lost to Memphis.

[Brady Bogan]

You've been late to stuff earlier. Stuff. Time.

[John Holmberg]

No, time out. You look up, you see four seconds. You played for 11 years. You might know I got a couple more steps. I don't have to shoot from 40ft.

[Eric]

Here's the thing that bothers me about it is is most people are folks that oh, you need to keep that extra time out. All that time out. But B.S.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Eric]

Make a play. Devin Burker, you're making $50 million a year. Make a play. Hol's morning sickness and I'm so sick and tired of seeing him settling for 30 foot jump shots.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know what that is.

[Eric]

It happened three years ago and be and. And earlier but because they didn't have a whole lot of players. Yeah, but you don't see Superstars settle for 30. You only needed a two. Yeah, you're down by one point. You don't need to shoot 39 footer.

[John Holmberg]

Anything but what he did.

[Eric]

And then the, the other thing is John, and I'm probably, I'm self admitting probably a little too hard on this body language. I. You, you. I can sit here and have a conversation with you.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Eric]

You don't have to say anything. Anything. And I know you're flipping me off with your body.

[John Holmberg]

That'S constant again.

[Brady Bogan]

It's like one giant finger.

[John Holmberg]

It does look like a huge finger. It's not though.

[Eric]

No. What I'm telling you like coach my kids. It's got so Christian Academy over the last 20 years. I tell them you could be staring me not saying a word. And I can tell. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Everybody knows that body language is a.

[Eric]

Thing that has that body language. He doesn't have fun out there.

[John Holmberg]

It looks indifferent and it bothers me because I think on a better team team he would be. But the fact he resigned here. No, tell me this. In your time of the Cowboys, a superstar like Troy Aikman or Michael Irvin sits through four years of 1 and 15, 3 and 12, 4 and 11. It's getting better, but it's not getting better fast. Then you have a meteoric rise.

[Eric]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

Lose the super bowl the next two years, a little disappointing. Then it's like we got rid of everybody but you again. Is Michael Irvin staying for another rebound?

[Eric]

No, he's not staying for it.

[John Holmberg]

Devin Booker signed here going, I know we're starting over. He doesn't mind losing.

[Eric]

But here's the thing that I also want to cast out there. The fact that he doesn't need to have a superstar to sit him down and go, what the hell are you doing in our Cowboys locker room? You're susceptible to anybody coming up to you and Troy, Michael, Emmett were treated the same way as, as Dale Elster, John Giesick and Kevin Gogan. You were called on the carpet. If you're. You're being.

[John Holmberg]

If you're messing stuff up.

[Eric]

Yes. And again off the field. You do whatever you want to do off the field. But if you show up Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday, that's all I care about, especially Sunday.

[John Holmberg]

I watched you at the Steelers game last Sunday become that guy. When DK Metcalf shoved his finger in that guy, he went like water. And we all thought it, but you could see it in Dale like this.

[Eric]

Just.

[John Holmberg]

Somebody's got to get him.

[Eric]

If Michael Irvin had done that, Eric Williams, Larry Allen would have had him pinned back and sat down in. In his face. And it doesn't make any sense.

[John Holmberg]

It's just so.

[Brady Bogan]

But Booker signing is easy. I mean, if you were going to play in house games, where would you rather be? In Phoenix.

[Eric]

Oh, right.

[John Holmberg]

But there's the point. There's. Of course. But you want to win, right?

[Brett Vesely]

You want to win.

[John Holmberg]

You're making my point.

[Brett Vesely]

You're not going to do it.

[John Holmberg]

He's here for the resort.

[Eric]

Yeah, see, I. No, I think he's trying to be tricky and you know, the gambling and.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah, the house games, the poker.

[John Holmberg]

Games, this is the better.

[Eric]

Don't read into Brady.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't want to go that direction with it. He's not part of it.

[Brady Bogan]

You're right. The resort factor.

[John Holmberg]

But he's just here because he likes it here. That's not enough. He should be saying, hey, guys, I. I love my time here. It's not. He's not classless. And you just say, hey, it's time for me to go someplace that's going to compete.

[Eric]

Yeah, but again, who's gonna. Who wants him at $50 million?

[John Holmberg]

Everybody. No, you give up. That's ridiculous.

[Eric]

Getting six picks, that's a homer.

[John Holmberg]

You get four, it's still better than nothing. You get four. There are several teams that will take Devin Booker and give you a couple of players off of their bench that just to make the money. Right. And some. There are tons of. The Lakers would be one if they had a cap issue that didn't, but they couldn't. Tons of them, tons of them that are sitting there chasing championships will say he's the guy and he is the guy that can put you away to the top. He doesn't care. He signed a contract here to go. I'll stay here no matter if we win or lose.

[Eric]

Place of B. Pine Canyon doesn't Care up there and. And he.

[John Holmberg]

You can't help but but say he just doesn't. It doesn't affect him.

[Eric]

I mean as does not seem to affect.

[John Holmberg]

Doesn't light a fire.

[Eric]

I've seen him miss those game winning shots and I missed, I've missed one or two in, in my brief playing career. Yeah, it's devastating.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Eric]

You wrecked everybody's day. You have an emotion. It drives me crazy.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Eric]

So again, back to the whole the Valley can have nice things.

[Brett Vesely]

What about Larry Fitzgerald staying here so long?

[John Holmberg]

Same thing. I said that years ago too. I'm like, let him go. Let Shane Doan go trade these guys who have been so great for so long for your franchise and say we can't get you there, but we want to see you do it. They did it with the Boston Bruins and Ray Bork. They had a good buy in his last game in Boston. Knowing the trade deadline. You're not going to be here.

[Eric]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

And we didn't get you a title, but go get one. And he got one in Colorado and there were Bruins fans happy.

[Eric]

Yeah. Because you would be.

[John Holmberg]

If your team can't get over the hump. Your superstars deserve a shot.

[Eric]

But please, while. However long I know you guys do not put Larry Fitzgerald and have a book or. No.

[John Holmberg]

You know what though? In a way he's signed to. Except for it seemed at the time the Cardinals were actually potentially able with Carson Palmer and all that. So it made sense for him to sign. But then at the end when he's just John Skelton and Kevin Cobb and.

[Eric]

God knows who else career and guess what, he's out for the hall of Fame this year. He should, his name just. He should be, he should be a first ballot guy. Yeah. But his name just kind of. He's the second leading receiver in the history of the National Football League and his name never comes up when you talk about the top five 10 receivers in the history.

[John Holmberg]

And because he never had that connection. He had 31 quarterbacks throwing to him. He made magic with everybody. But you know, Montana and Rice, Aikman, Irvin, you have all those. Bradshaw, Swan, you had all those. These combos. Fitzgerald and who? Kurt Warner from minute for a minute. And they never did anything essentially.

[Eric]

Well, you got the Super Bowl.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, got there.

[Eric]

I know you had a chance under Bruce Arians. Yeah. Anyway, it's. It, it's frustrating to be a Valley fan and unfortunately I've been around here the longest.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Eric]

Maybe I'm the only one that was alive when the Suns came Here, I don't know, 1960.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. I wasn't alive yet. That's insane.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you were.

[Eric]

Right? So I saw. I saw. Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Back in this Podunk town. The podcast last week, we also mentioned that. I said, kim, Scatter Boo's career is not going to be long if he keeps doing what he's doing.

[Eric]

Way to jinx.

[John Holmberg]

I know, and I feel a little bit bad about that. I text Cam over the weekend and.

[Eric]

Told him, you're sorry for jinxing him.

[John Holmberg]

No. Yeah, I just told him. I said, you know, you're a legend. This whole city's New York. Everybody's like, you were. You're a legend. Like, you know, keep your head up. You're going to be all right. Sorry you're dealing with this. And he was, you know, nice little textbook back, but we kind of accidentally called that me.

[Eric]

You're gonna.

[John Holmberg]

You're the mush. And you said Sunday night that you have had that dislocated foot.

[Eric]

I've had the exact same thing. And I, and I've told anybody who's asked, yeah, I completely dislocated my ankle. Well, along with that, 98% of the time comes a fractured fibula. And so I still got a plate on my fiber fibula. And they went in and I was in surgery in about two hours. They took me from the stadium to the hospital. Obviously my upper torso had my pads off.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

It wasn't to the zoo.

[Eric]

And then. And they just. And they cut my football pants off. But they put a, A screw about yay big through my end of my ankle and a plate on my leg.

[John Holmberg]

Oh.

[Eric]

And so the plates on, on the, the, it's on the fibula. It's on the outside.

[John Holmberg]

Hold that thing up.

[Eric]

And now that I've, you know.

[John Holmberg]

Was your foot facing the wrong way, too?

[Eric]

What happened to me? It's interesting. Oh, okay. So I'm gonna throw. I, I, I, I, I watch pimple pop.

[John Holmberg]

I know, but I don't like hearing about it, Jenny. I'd rather watch it than hear it.

[Eric]

I stepped down. It was a natural grass field step. Guy did an outside move on me. I went to move. Everything moved but my left foot.

[John Holmberg]

Foot. Oh.

[Eric]

And so I got kind of spun around and I went down. I'm like, damn, that hurts. And I, I didn't think anything like it was catastrophic, but I couldn't get up. And trainers doctors come out and took my shoe off. And then when he cut the tape off. Yeah, the two little bones on each side of your Ankle.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Eric]

Went.

[John Holmberg]

They just moved out.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh.

[John Holmberg]

The tape was holding it in and.

[Eric]

It fell like two inches. And I'm looking at the doctors and their faces are turning white. I'm like, that's not good, is it? They didn't say anything. Both of them are holding it. Air cast.

[Brady Bogan]

Boom.

[Eric]

Gone. Yeah. But I told her because originally they talk about the fibula.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Eric]

But I was told when it happened to me, the fibula is affected a lot.

[Brady Bogan]

How long were you out?

[Eric]

I missed the season.

[John Holmberg]

Whole season.

[Eric]

Yeah. But here. Pardon me.

[John Holmberg]

Like, you go. Recovery was 12 months.

[Eric]

Yeah. I think you'll be ready in nine.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Eric]

I. Obviously I missed the football season, but I started working out the next off season. But obviously he plays a different position than I do. It's a matter of trusting it now. Can I stick it in the ground?

[John Holmberg]

It's going to take it. It's going to take a minute.

[Eric]

Yeah. Before.

[John Holmberg]

You don't want to twist that thing all the way around again. I've had ankle issues my whole adult life because of. Busted them so much. When I was playing basketball as a kid. A kid. And my ankle used to just fall off like it was. It had this weird thing where I take a wrong. So I used to wear high tops everywhere. If I didn't my. It would just kind of pop open and I'd have to kind of wiggle it and we won't snap back in. It didn't feel good. But it didn't. Like it wasn't. It wasn't dropping, but. Yeah. It was just like it. It was just weird.

[Eric]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

And I could. I could detach it and I could take my toes and just grind them. And then my ankle would go clunk and the whole foot was useless for a minute. So. So I don't even know what I should have gone and gotten fixed.

[Eric]

Tightening your ligaments.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I feel pretty good now.

[Eric]

That's what.

[John Holmberg]

That's what the doctor said. You just loosened everything up with all these sprains.

[Eric]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

Whatever you do, you do. But it's better now. So time. That's what I told.

[Eric]

A little bit has to do. Cam will be fine.

[Brady Bogan]

So it would have been better if it broke than dislocated. Because I've been hearing back and forth like dislocation is a quicker recovery.

[Eric]

Well, the dislocation depends on the leg. All my ligaments were gone when. When. When my ankle got then that.

[Brady Bogan]

That was the key, I think they saying.

[Eric]

And so hopefully it's less severe for him.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. And doesn't look like no.

[Eric]

All right.

[John Holmberg]

We're going to get our picks in here. Scatter will be fine. World series is just what it is. It's pretty fun.

[Eric]

18 it is what it is.

[John Holmberg]

It's a great World Series, but it's a lot of.

[Eric]

Don't tell me you're cheering for the Dodger.

[John Holmberg]

Country music is ruined.

[Eric]

It has moved. Ruined the world Series.

[John Holmberg]

Yes. Brad Paisley.

[Eric]

Oh, I know.

[John Holmberg]

I read that has ruined it. And the other two times he sang the national anthem. Those went to extra innings too.

[Eric]

Really?

[John Holmberg]

He's done it four times every. Exactly. Although that game was incredible. Yeah. World Series. I don't want to talk about that till it's over.

[Eric]

Did you watch the whole thing? I watched for the whole.

[John Holmberg]

I watched every pitch of that game. I wanted to go to bed and I didn't.

[Eric]

I. It's fascinating and I think Fox does a great job of showing us. You can hear the umpire. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Just seven hours. Thing is a lot of baseball. That was a lot.

[Eric]

I'm just calling everything. If I'm not home plate umpire, everything's a strike.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I'm getting out of there. Yeah, you're all going swing the bat. And if I'm a pitcher, I'm throwing it anywhere. And I'm hoping Enrio Palazzo calls everything a strike. We got ourselves Dale Hellray here from diamond coatings A. That's right. That's what you're sponsored by. And you get your whole garage floor. Any pavers you got at your house. If you've got a floor, they can make it beautiful. They did it to my sport court. It's amazing. Check it [e-mail] we'll look there. We're gonna get our football picks in here next. It's 98 KUPD.

[Eric]

Holmberg's Morning Sickness.

[John Holmberg]

All right, there you go. It's 9:52 here in the morning sickness.

[Eric]

Time flies.

[John Holmberg]

It is flying, Dale. Flying. Let's get right to it and then we'll.

[Eric]

Hold on.

[John Holmberg]

Who am I broadcast.

[Eric]

You're buying.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Good work, Dale. Hella straight sports. What a professional job, dale. Diamond coatings, AZ.com. they'll get it done for you.

[Eric]

What are those pictures of your house coming out?

[John Holmberg]

It should be on the. It should be all over the Internet.

[Eric]

It's not all.

[John Holmberg]

All over that people are losing. That's what I mean.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Is there more Internet than that? I've never noticed. It's time now for our football picks and of course, Brady and Brett, you are head to head. This Week with the Bengals and Bears last week, all of us lost our bets. We all mushed. All four of us blew it weeks prior.

[Eric]

Okay, hold on. Should we add one more caveat?

[John Holmberg]

What's that?

[Eric]

If one guy wins and the other three loses, he gets paid.

[John Holmberg]

I like that. Everybody kicks the 33 to that guy. Okay, I like that.

[Eric]

How about that?

[John Holmberg]

There's one winner out of the four. Because the chances of that happening are just all four of us losing.

[Eric]

We all sucked.

[John Holmberg]

We sucked. Well, that was my first loss of the season. I felt really.

[Eric]

We all sucked.

[John Holmberg]

Stop it, Brady. I'm going to let you pick the Bengals and Colts game first.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, Bears.

[John Holmberg]

No, Bears. I'm sorry. I'm thinking of my team. Bengals and Bears.

[Brady Bogan]

Cincini.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. Joe Flacco's got something wrong.

[Brady Bogan]

Three and a half.

[Eric]

I told you Flacco would have one good game.

[John Holmberg]

He's had two, and then he got a little bit dinged. He's hurt.

[Brady Bogan]

Put up 38 points. Points.

[John Holmberg]

He's hurt against the jets, though. Go ahead, pick a team and go.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm going with the Bengals.

[John Holmberg]

All right. Go straight up. Bengals.

[Brady Bogan]

Whoa.

[Brett Vesely]

I get to go straight up or you still want me to make.

[John Holmberg]

No, you have to make a. Like a. Why?

[Brett Vesely]

If I'm gonna go opposite him, shouldn't matter.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, you can't bet that twice. You can't bet each team to win.

[Brett Vesely]

The Bears to win. He's to win.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's stupid. Like, who's gonna score?

[Brett Vesely]

I'll take the Bears minus three.

[John Holmberg]

No, no. See, you have to take a prop bet. We already picked the team.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, then come back to me later because I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

[John Holmberg]

Well, we've always done.

[Brett Vesely]

But I've never done prop bets. I always take the.

[John Holmberg]

I never do.

[Dale Hellstray]

The problem.

[John Holmberg]

All right. He'll take the prop bet. You take the Bears. Jesus Christ. This is too hard. I always just take it straight up.

[Brady Bogan]

Anytime touchdown.

[Eric]

But if you choose. Okay, one of you is gonna lose.

[Brett Vesely]

True.

[John Holmberg]

Right.

[Eric]

That means we all lose.

[John Holmberg]

No, we can't. We. If you go side to side, our four men bet is screwed. No matter what the heels is 33 bucks for not even thinking about that. If Dale has to explain the math to you. Oh, man. Yeah. Go kill yourself. All right. And you have to do an anytime touchdown score. You want Jamar Chase? Yeah. Okay. That's pretty good. Dale, who you Cowboys have this week, then?

[Brady Bogan]

Brett's taking the Bears.

[Eric]

They got the Cardinals on Monday night.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. It's Monday night against the Cardinals.

[Eric]

Cardinals coming off a bye week, rested, healthy. I was back in the lineup.

[John Holmberg]

You're taking the Cowboys. Crowd's gonna be all Dallas.

[Eric]

I gotta. I gotta take the Cowboys.

[John Holmberg]

I think that's the smart.

[Eric]

It's. Even though Kyler Murray's undefeated in the. In Jerry's world. Do you know that Johnny high school did not know.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's right. Because he was down there. That's right.

[Eric]

High school, college, NFL.

[John Holmberg]

It's interesting. This would be the first time you're saying the Cowboys beat Kyler Murray. Oh, boy. All right, I'll take that one. Steelers take. Take on the Colts. I'm gonna take the Colts. That's a better team. That's a team that's absolutely nearly unstoppable. And the Steelers defense is so confused, it's hard to watch. So I think this one, if anything, I'd take the over. It's only 50 points, I think. I think Indy might put 40 on them because that defense is.

[Brett Vesely]

Defense is that bad?

[John Holmberg]

Terrible. Right now they're confused. I watched the all 22 of that.

[Eric]

Is it not amazing? Here's. Here's Danny Dimes, who's now Indiana Jones.

[John Holmberg]

That's right.

[Eric]

And can't throw a ball to a wet paper sack. Threw a wet paper sack in New York. Now he goes to Indianapolis like he's gonna be a Pro Bowler this year.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he might be the MVP.

[Eric]

They might win 12 games this year.

[John Holmberg]

They might have the one and two and most valuable player because Taylor's just as good. Yeah, they're. They're good. Who knew? They're a good team.

[Eric]

The offensive line's pretty solid.

[John Holmberg]

Everything about him is playing well. So I'm taking the Colts in a big way, and I take the over on that as well. All right, we got that. And now we put our 100 bucks on it. It is a. It's a plus. Whoa. 5300. That can't be right. 2300. Sorry. I got seven of them in there. There you go. Yeah, that's a good one. I like that.

[Eric]

So what does that mean?

[John Holmberg]

So that means they're 100 bucks. We get 2300. That's pretty good stuff right there.

[Eric]

How do you split it four ways days, though?

[John Holmberg]

With math, Dale.

[Brady Bogan]

That's easy.

[Eric]

2300. I don't want change, Johnny. I'm screwed up here.

[John Holmberg]

We'll figure it out. It'll be something. We'll win something. Let's just put it that way. I'll get it in there.

[Eric]

But we haven't won yet this year.

[John Holmberg]

No, I've won all the bets.

[Eric]

You didn't win last.

[John Holmberg]

We didn't win. Oh, we kind of won the one you tied. Yeah, we all got paid on that. Well, the three of us. Yeah, they all got to sit out on that garbage.

[Eric]

Now everything's stacked against me, Brady.

[John Holmberg]

The world, yes, has never been fair against me. To Dale Hell. Alistair, host of the main event with.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it naturally it just kind of turned itself into that. No one else was taking the rain, so might as well do it. It turned out to be pretty damn good.

Before he goes, has Kevin Ray been down there lately to the awkward?

[John Holmberg]

Kevin's pretty good at basketball. He came by the house. He was not as awkward athletically strange.

[Eric]

As he is in golf. And fighting.

[John Holmberg]

Golf was the weirdest one. Fighting is pretty good. It's just awkward.

[Eric]

Yeah. Well, that's probably good for him though.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, sure.

[Eric]

Because if you don't know what's coming.

[John Holmberg]

Or what angle, his angles are weird. He hits pretty hard, but it was really weird.

[Eric]

Shoot a basketball.

[John Holmberg]

He was pretty good at basketball. Yeah, he looked natural doing that.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Surprised me, too. But he sees it so much. How could you not?

[Eric]

Oh, please.

[John Holmberg]

I bet Al McCoy had a great.

[Eric]

He had a great sky hook in your face.

[John Holmberg]

He said that all the time. Shazam. Damn. And then he, you know, run back and do the you can't see me thing.

[Eric]

You can't see me.

[John Holmberg]

That's what he said. Is Brett your partner? Like? Yeah, Al. So you're getting used to getting in the bottom. Watch this. You put it in the deep freeze. Anyway, Brady, please entertain.

Nice job, Arnold.

He's in number 2881. Richest man in the world.

[John Holmberg]

There are 2,000 billionaires and more.

[Brady Bogan]

Almost 3,000.

Oh, it's a 2,800.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Almost 3,000 billionaires.

[Brady Bogan]

His.

Damn it.

[Brady Bogan]

A big chunk of it is. He's in with fellow billionaire David Booth, Dimensional Fund Advisors, which manages 12 billion in assets. He's got a piece of that. He also owns a piece of Easton Town center in Columbus, Ohio. That was the mall created by Les.

[John Holmberg]

Wexner when they had all the lift weight weightlifting contests. Right.

[Brady Bogan]

And he's got some equity in Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Astoria Hotel in Los Angeles.

[John Holmberg]

Solid investor and actor and politician. That's pretty good. Follow Arnold's advice.

[Brady Bogan]

Peloton members get a special treat this Halloween wing. There are three official Friday the 13th themed classes currently available, where the users pedal to survive. Jason Voorhees.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's cool.

[Brady Bogan]

Camp Crystal lake. Yeah, they're 30 minute sessions where you're being chased by Jason.

[John Holmberg]

I like that.

[Brady Bogan]

[John Holmberg]

Okay. And Jason chases you, get a runaway. Oh, that's pretty good. Peloton's kind of a fun thing.

[Brady Bogan]

And the instructors will be dressed up like camp counselors.

[John Holmberg]

Some of those instructors are hard to ignore.

[Brady Bogan]

Dale's got a huge story.

[John Holmberg]

I.

[Eric]

Go ahead.

[Brett Vesely]

There we go.

[Eric]

Bless you, John.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you very much.

[Eric]

Let's see here. Dorothy's face won't be shown in Wicked for good, even though Dorothy Gale, whoever the hell that is.

[John Holmberg]

That's Dorothy from the wizard of Oz. Dale.

[Eric]

Dorothy Gale. She has a last name.

[John Holmberg]

She had a last name. Yes. She's a fully rounded character.

[Eric]

Will be in Wicked for good. The audience will never, ever, ever get to see her face. Director John John M. Chewy says, quote, I Don't want to step on who you think Dorothy is. In whatever story that you came into this with, the movie is still El Faba.

[John Holmberg]

You're just making up words.

[Eric]

E, L, P, H, A, B, L, A. Huh? Elphaba, Alphaba. What?

[John Holmberg]

What is the sentence you're making there?

[Eric]

The movie is still Elaba and Glenda's Journey.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, those are the.

[Eric]

And she is a pawn in the middle of all of it. Don't say. Yeah, you know how to pronounce it.

[John Holmberg]

Character's name. It's a name. It's got a capital E on it. I could assume when it has an and in another name, you would have F. Oh, I almost went.

[Eric]

When you think of Dorothy, you probably picture Joe. Judy Garland, which is what I do.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's Dorothy Gale.

[Brady Bogan]

That's why he doesn't want to ruin that image.

[Eric]

It sounds like John doesn't want to change that at the cost of taking attention away from Glinda and El Faba.

[John Holmberg]

All right, stop talking about Wicked.

[Eric]

El Faba.

[John Holmberg]

You didn't see Wicked.

[Brady Bogan]

Elphaba.

[John Holmberg]

You did not see.

[Eric]

I did not see Wicked. Why?

[Brady Bogan]

That surprises me.

[Eric]

It does?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I thought you'd be there there too. You don't like.

[Eric]

You don't want to. I'm not a big thief.

[Brady Bogan]

Too scary.

[John Holmberg]

But you watch the wizard of Oz.

[Eric]

I did as a kid. But it's only because it's on in tv and get up and turn the channel.

[John Holmberg]

You loved it. You sang.

[Eric]

I have seen a couple plays. I've seen Greece.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Eric]

See the newsboys in New York.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's gay.

[Eric]

Sank. I saw a couple theater shows in London.

[John Holmberg]

No kidding. What you see in London.

[Eric]

I think that's where I saw Greece.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. You saw Greece in London?

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Dumb.

[Brady Bogan]

I saw 42nd street in London.

[Eric]

They. They have the second something cheap tickets, whatever. Like, the tickets haven't been sold.

[John Holmberg]

And did Greece have accents? Were they British in Greece?

[Eric]

No, it was. It seemed like they. John.

[Brady Bogan]

Accents.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they were all.

[Eric]

And what's her face.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that was a good one.

[Eric]

I had a crush. I heard you had a Crush on.

[John Holmberg]

A 15 year old. No, it wasn't a crush. I just saw recently and thought, why didn't we as kids think she was hot?

[Eric]

Because the Mohawk. Bow wow wow.

[John Holmberg]

And it was the Mohawk. But you look down, you're like, we should have thought she was hot.

[Eric]

And she's aged pretty well.

[John Holmberg]

She looks pretty good for 58. Singer look pretty good. I mean, 458.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You throw that at the end because it's. You know, it's not. Go crazy. Crazy. She looks Good.

[Eric]

Good for 58. Just leave it.

[John Holmberg]

And she looks good. You can't. Because then people go, what? I'm like, for 58? Like, oh, yeah. Well, for 58. That's how you can.

[Eric]

That's the only one.

[John Holmberg]

Somebody I. I respect his opinion on this. Thank you.

[Eric]

Oh, jeez.

[John Holmberg]

All right, close it up, Brady.

[Brady Bogan]

Tim Allen was interviewed about Toy Story 5, and he says, I hope one of the scenes make it. It's a FedEx plane that crashes. Crashes with a hundred Buzz dolls.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no.

[Brady Bogan]

Survive on the island. So it's kind of a spin off.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's Cast Away. That's hilarious. Oh, that's a great idea. Do the pilots die and he does.

[Brady Bogan]

Multiple voices of the buzzes.

[John Holmberg]

Of the different buzzes that are trapped on the island together. That's a great idea. Oh, I like that a ton. You a Toy Story guy?

[Eric]

I like the floor.

[John Holmberg]

First one or two. All pretty good.

[Eric]

Yeah, but come on. It gets very redundant, you know? I need to be entertained.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you can't have that. You need some depth.

[Brady Bogan]

I haven't seen four yet.

[John Holmberg]

It's good. It's not as good as the first three. First two are brilliant.

[Eric]

It's like Halloween 12. Come on.

[John Holmberg]

I see.

[Eric]

Somebody's getting killed. It's scary. All right, whatever. Why am I gonna waste two hours?

It's the kind of insight you get only on Thursdays with Dale sitting in the street.

[Eric]

The reason why your wife tunes in.

[John Holmberg]

Really, why everybody? I hadn't thought of that about Halloween movies. Halloween 12. Somebody's gonna get killed and scary. That's it. We're done. Larry's coming up next. And then, of course, Fitz will be getting you all those code words, starting again at 2:00'. Clock. And he will accomplish that by giving you the code word and, of course, giving you a chance at a thousand bucks. Just gotta take it in the app.

[Eric]

Dale, can I. Can I enter this?

[John Holmberg]

Sure.

[Eric]

I can't.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I'll say.

[Brady Bogan]

Say I do.

[Eric]

You do?

[John Holmberg]

I will say you probably could enter it, but you're not gonna be able to figure out how.

[Eric]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Eric]

I can't find out.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. There's no way. So download the KUPD Apple app. He had to give me.

[Brady Bogan]

How's that.

[John Holmberg]

How's that work? He had to give me cash, and then I just paid you guys.

[Eric]

Yeah, but I have not been able to get the 33. He said via Apple.

[John Holmberg]

It's sitting in your phone. I know he's done his part.

[Eric]

I have no idea how to get it.

[Brett Vesely]

You gotta figure that out forever and ever. Way to do it.

[John Holmberg]

33 bucks. Yeah, just. It's easy. Just apple.

[Eric]

Oh, everything's easy.

[John Holmberg]

Brady will show you. It'll take five, seven days. Yeah. Yeah. You two figure it out.

[Brady Bogan]

Dale.

[John Holmberg]

You two are like the US Mail.

[Brett Vesely]

See you next week.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You could probably counterfeit $33 faster and figure this out. Larry's next. You guys have a good one. We'll see you tomorrow in the morning. Signal solo.

[Brady Bogan]

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

[John Holmberg]

I have heard enough of this.
