1. Nostalgic Halloween Candies: Disappearing Treats & Why They’re Gone

[01:08 – 19:01]

Main Discussion Points:

• Dominance of Mainstream Candies:

  • Modern Halloween has boiled down to the big names: Reese’s, Snickers, Kit Kats, Twix.
  • The forgotten "tiers" of candy—nougat-based or oddball brands—are fading fast.
  • John: “We’re down to the basics now... variety bags, the good stuff. And then you get to ‘tier 3’—the nougat-based ones, the stuff nobody really wanted.” [01:26]

• Old School Candies:

  • Discussion sparked by an article, “13 Old School Halloween Treats Unrecognizable to Today’s Kids.”
  • Brutal memories revived: wax-wrapped peanut butter kisses (“those are pretty much non-existent”), homemade popcorn balls, wax fangs/lips (now only in specialty stores), and bizarre items like “Nickel Nips” (wax bottles with flavored liquid).
  • John: “If Brett ever got this, he’d still be on somebody’s porch laughing... There was a candy out there... The Tootsie Roll people made Nickel Nips.” [03:39]
  • Group confusion and laughter about the names.
  • Byron: “I remember the bottles... but not being called that.” [04:30]
  • The process: bite through wax, drink syrup, chew the wax. “It was gross.” [04:46]

• Other Infamous Candies:

  • Chick-o-Sticks: “Only 90-year-olds eat Chick-o-Stick.” [05:10]
  • Sugar Babies vs. Milk Duds: “Just a poor man’s Milk Dud… Sugar Daddies rip your teeth out.” [05:54]
  • Modern failed fads: Sour Krabby Patties, Necco Wafers (“might as well eat chalk”), Mallo Cups, Boston Baked Beans, candy dots on paper, and candy cigarettes.
  • Memories of candies themed around adult behaviors: “They were training kids to eat acid and smoke… Candy cigarettes and candy acid tabs.” [07:00]

Notable Quotes:

• John (about candy cigarettes and childhood):
  “Are we less healthy today than when we were getting this? …We were chewing on fake cigarettes and cigars and pounding Nickel Nips... Practicing guzzling alcohol. Now this group of kids is supposed to be unhealthy?” [07:12]
• Byron: “How is candy corn still a thing?” [08:09]
• John (on Necco wafers): “That’s... just eat some chalk!” [08:48]

Listener Emails & Nicknames:

• Listeners emailed in about Chick-o-Stick’s jailhouse popularity and “Dick Downing,” a listener with a much-mocked name.
• John: “The best exercise they’ve ever gotten” (on making old people walk for tables with wrong names). [13:50]

---

2. Side Tangents & Emails: Listener Interactions

[13:50 – 19:01]

• Holmberg and the crew riff on goofy listener emails and names, poking fun at haters and typo-ridden first-time messages.
• Memorable moments include Holmberg’s stories about tormenting elderly restaurant guests with fake name calls and conversations about old candy in jail commissaries.

Notable Quotes:

• Byron: “Chicko sticks were the bomb and still are,” poking fun at emailer Scott’s typo (“chicken sticks”) [16:53]
• John: “Chicken sticks with a bomb still are when they’re fresh. …You shouldn’t be allowed in a car, let alone driving it.” [17:03]

---

3. News Oddities:

Escaped Test Monkeys in the South

[20:05 – 24:26]

• Recap of a recent news story: Police in Mississippi shot several escaped research monkeys, allegedly with STDs, after a truck accident.
  • Crew humorously debates what you do if you see a “STD monkey” on the loose.
  • Byron: “Were those Tootsie Rolls with the flavor centers?” [07:52]
  • John: “If you were in New Orleans, you got to kill that thing. I’m not gonna hang around and try to make friends with it—it’s an STD monkey.” [21:20]
• Another farcical incident in Texas: Someone’s pet monkey escaped inside Spirit Halloween, causing chaos.
  • Byron: “Well, it got away from him.” [21:53]
  • “People thought it was a decoration until it started screaming.” [22:23]

---

‘Take Your Daughter to Work’ Goes Wrong: Neurosurgery Edition

[24:29 – 32:55]

• Doctor brings 12-year-old daughter into brain surgery, lets her use the cranial drill “to create a hole in the patient’s skull.”
• Crew discusses the absurdity/ethics of ‘take your kid to work day’ in high-stakes jobs.
  • John: “If it was my dad...he used to do construction, sometimes he’d blow up a mountain to build a stadium. But surgery? That’s a little different.” [26:37]
  • “Sometimes people take their kids to work and their jobs suck... sometimes it’s brain surgery and a 12-year-old is holding the drill.” [29:01]
• John remains unapologetically hostile to the idea of bringing kids to the radio station for “take your kid to work day.”

Notable Quotes:

• John: “There are jobs where you can sometimes... but they tried that here... nobody does it because I dump so hard on ‘take your daughter to work day’.” [31:05]
• “The only person that likes it is that frigid lady…never had enough personality to land a man to put a baby in her…she loves other people’s kids because she never, nobody ever filled her up.” (a particularly biting Holmberg riff) [31:36]

---

4. Trump, Nukes, and Spectacle: “Should We Sell Tickets?”

[34:11 – 43:41]

• Trump muses publicly about restarting above-ground U.S. nuclear bomb testing, since “everyone else is doing it.”
  • John jokes about making it a public event—“He’d sell tickets to this, I guarantee it.” [34:28]
  • Crew riff on “Blow up Epstein Island!” and other sarcastic suggestions for test sites (Tucson, Portland, Cuba).
  • Imaginings of a “nuke show” with crowd barriers, safety goggles, food trucks—it’s “the new Burning Man.”

Notable Quotes:

• John: “You get into some steel room and then just jump in a refrigerator like Indiana Jones.” [38:12]
• Byron: “Trump’s not gonna just test them quietly. His ego’s way too big. He’s gonna make it a show.” [39:36]
• Byron:”You’d be blown away!” John:”That’s right.” [45:01]
• John: “Heath bars are like the Steak 44 of candy; you can’t have it all the time, but it’s precious when you do.” [19:42]

---

5. Musical Treats & Bow Wow Wow Rabbit Hole

[45:14 – End]

• With a flurry of Halloween-related song suggestions, Bow Wow Wow’s “I Want Candy” video triggers a discussion about the lead singer Annabella Lwin.
  • Realization she was only 15 when the famous video came out: “Can’t watch that video anymore—I feel creepy as ever. Who knew?” [48:33]
  • Banter about overlooked ‘80s icons and the ridiculousness of which pop figures were idolized.

---

Memorable Moments Recap

• On childhood candies:
  John: “Nickel nips are more plump and larger than your regular nips. That’s right. You get those flat nips, nobody likes those.” [08:25]
• On prison snacks:
  “Chicko sticks were popular in the jail commissary…everyone who’s been in jail is now telling me!” [19:01]
• On the kid in brain surgery:
  John: “So, she drew a dot on the person’s head that needed drilling and they put the DeWalt through the dude’s skull.” [29:00]
• On Trump’s nuke show:
  “He’s gonna make it a show. Burning Man this weekend—and in the distance, we’re gonna throw a mushroom…It’s gonna be great!” [39:15]

Transcript

[Brett Vesely]

You're listening to the HMS podcast brought to you by MMP Guns.com, your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories. Hey, it's Brett Vesely and I'm here with Byron from MMP Guns. Look, Byron, I have a friend wanting to sell some guns he inherited. What's the best way for him to do that?

[Byron]

Brett, the last thing you want to do is sell the gun to someone who can't legally own one. Tell him not to put himself at risk and come into M and P Guns where he'll get a fair offer and he can rest easy knowing it's not getting into the wrong hands.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay, but what if he lives out of state?

[Byron]

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

[Brett Vesely]

There you have it. MMP Guns or legalgunbuyer.com the safe and legal way to sell your firearms.

[Byron]

[Byron]

At 56 street and Thomas Road.

[John Holmberg]

Homburg's morning 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, we're closing in on Palladio 20, 25, 26. So they've only got another month before they are the lame duck intro song. Until someone wins Playdoh 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 plop 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, Kit Kats, Can't Lose, Twix, that kind of stuff. 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.

[Byron]

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 13, 13 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 a picture of it. They were brutal. Those are pretty much non existent.

[Byron]

Or actually it's orange and that's.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's what I said.

[Byron]

Yeah, I said black and red.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, it's orange.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. 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?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Wax lips and stuff. Evidently those are like only at specialty candy stores now. Like, you know, Peewee Herman.

[Brett Vesely]

Because they had that, they had that juice or something in there.

[Byron]

Some, some sometimes it would.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay.

[Byron]

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. This is hard for me to say. I'm gonna take it slow.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

There was a candy out there and I don't remember this at all. The Tootsie Roll people made nickel nips.

[Byron]

In a picture.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. N I, K, L, N I, P. Yeah, nickel. I don't remember those.

[Brett Vesely]

I gotta look that up. Can I get those?

[John Holmberg]

You can hand those out 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. Yeah.

[Byron]

The bottles. I remember.

[John Holmberg]

I don't remember being called that. Well, you get a nip off the bottle.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

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

[Byron]

Juicy lips.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. They have something else.

[Brett Vesely]

It's terrible.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you can't do that. You don't love Halloween for that. 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 was. It's. It was gross. Chicko sticks. Nobody ever liked chico sticks. I don't 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?

[Byron]

I had a few chicko sticks.

[John Holmberg]

We know you ate them all, but.

[Byron]

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

[John Holmberg]

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

[Byron]

In fifth grade he was already hitting progeria.

[John Holmberg]

Hey buddy.

[Brett Vesely]

Happy Halloween.

[John Holmberg]

Can have myself some chico sticks. Sugar babies. Which I never minded, but they were just kind of a poor man's milk duds.

[Byron]

Sugar baby. Sugar daddies.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Sugar daddies were just.

[Brett Vesely]

Those were the sucker versions.

[Byron]

Caramel.

[John Holmberg]

Just rip your teeth out with every bite.

[Brett Vesely]

Dentists love them.

[John Holmberg]

Oh my God. Yeah. If you had. I could never have.

[Brett Vesely]

Cash register.

[John Holmberg]

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 patters. 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.

[Byron]

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.

[Byron]

They'd have them in the middies. Halloween.

[John Holmberg]

Reason all these candies I mentioned are in this article is like nobody does these anymore is cuz everyone who liked them's dead. Old people like candy buttons. Remember the acid tabs? They were training kids to eat acid candy cigarettes and the candy acid tabs.

[Byron]

Those Bubblegum cigars.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I forgot. Yeah, when they tried to teach you to smoke with candy.

[Brett Vesely]

Remember the candy cigarettes? The. The good ones that you could blow the puff.

[John Holmberg]

Are 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 Nick L. 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 a nickel Nips. And then I got my wax lips over here. That's gonna get me in trouble with everybody. And then 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?

[Byron]

Were those Tootsie Rolls with the flavor centers?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, those weren't bad. The Pops, the.

[Byron]

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

[John Holmberg]

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

[Brett Vesely]

How is candy corn still a thing?

[John Holmberg]

I don't know what at all.

[Byron]

National Candy Corn Day.

[John Holmberg]

Is it? Well, here we go. Congratulations.

[Byron]

Four states I'm going home.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm never visiting those states.

[Byron]

Yeah. Nebraska, Kansas, Mississippi, and Atlanta.

[Brett Vesely]

All right, three states I never want to go to.

[John Holmberg]

So, John, you don't remember Alabama, not Atlanta. 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 Zots had a pretty good run. Yeah, we're not talking about candies that are horrible.

[Byron]

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.

[Byron]

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.

[Byron]

Better flavor right off the bat.

[John Holmberg]

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.

[Byron]

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. Chicko sticks are the man. And then his name is Dick Downing. All right, that's. 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 Katie KB doing a jacket drive?

[John Holmberg]

This? Yeah, they're doing it this winter. Needy, needy kids. Jacket drive and 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 anything. Yuck. Dick Downing.

[Brett Vesely]

There's a lot of Chicko 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 as 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? Vals, V, A, U, L, E, S. And then 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 fam. Come on, your table is ready. All of them Night of the Night of the Walking Dead. Oh, maybe they can call that table.

[John Holmberg]

Holmberg's Morning Sickness. I didn't say a real name at all. And they all go, is that. Was that Johnson? No. How'd you call? Wasn't Johnson. Back to your seat, old man. And I do it every once in a while in the host is like, you're a jerk. I'm like, look at him. It's the best exercise they've ever gotten.

[Byron]

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. Anything. Party of two, your table is ready.

[Brett Vesely]

It's 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.

[Byron]

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 going to stay.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And inevitably 12, 15 minutes later. We've been here 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.

[Byron]

Four or five of them.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, they'd all get out of the. Was that us? I think he said carpenter. What name was that? Party four. I think that's Carpenter. I think he. I gave him my first name too.

[Byron]

Till one day it was a match.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Byron]

Really?

[John Holmberg]

I'm Mr. Cobba Parfumhoppentarfer. Holy Christ. Alphart's death ranking Von Bergnesner party of two. Where the death ring Ding Tomberg Nestners. Yeah, it could happen. This guy's mad at me for no reason. So Toledo prints these out. This is nice. This. 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.

[Byron]

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 you. 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?

[Byron]

Chico sticks were the bomb and still are.

[John Holmberg]

You got. You need to. You need those words.

[Byron]

I Know. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And the word I could speak.

[Byron]

Chicken stick.

[John Holmberg]

He didn't say chico. He said chicken.

[Byron]

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. And the last. Yeah, Scott. I practice emailing because it's your first time it showed. This is a rookie email. Chicken sticks are. Chicken sticks with bombs. Still are. Oh, my God. Are you driving? Can you drive? You shouldn't be allowed in a car, let alone driving it.

[Byron]

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 Chance? 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 around there.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, Kyle Pierce just sent us one.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he did?

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I've seen a few of these. The ones for. Yeah. Foreign language candy.

[Brett Vesely]

Can't do that one.

[John Holmberg]

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.

[Byron]

I know why the guy said Charlie Chance.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Byron]

Because they're cherry clans.

[John Holmberg]

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

[Byron]

Yeah. So I could see how he cross that.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, Try one of those.

[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 chicko 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. Yes. Whitber just said, chico sticks are big in the joint. Everybody. 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]

Oh, this one. This one's complaining.

[John Holmberg]

Heath bars. Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

This guy says it's the worst candy ever, Brad.

[John Holmberg]

Because they're delicious.

[Byron]

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.

[Byron]

Blizzard.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, those are good.

[John Holmberg]

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

[Byron]

Yeah. Oh, have fun.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you can't go chicken sticks. Gonna bomb Spellar. First time with computer fingers working slow, not strong. Speller Scott, long time listening. First time emailer. And it couldn't have been more like terrible. See later you say bye. Good new you. 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.

[Byron]

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. You were in, you know, 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 got to 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.

[Byron]

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

[John Holmberg]

Of Texas and just let it go.

[Byron]

Well, it got away from him.

[John Holmberg]

That's what letting it go is.

[Byron]

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 were sitting there in Texas, right? Yep. 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. I'm like, that's how you make.

[Byron]

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 diapy on it.

[Byron]

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

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Byron]

So the officer says no charges will be.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Byron]

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

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, it's a rogue monkey.

[Byron]

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.

[Byron]

We just closed the studio door.

[John Holmberg]

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

[Byron]

Of 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 going to 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 Tang High on the Plex kid has finally graduated and is an adult now. That's too Tang High on the plex.

[Byron]

It has been long enough.

[John Holmberg]

It has been long enough for Tang High on the Plex to be a functioning adult chicken sticks with the bomb. Still are. Yeah. You start the cops in trouble though. He's shooting these. They're 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.

[Byron]

Because I might make sweet, sweet love to it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. 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. Oh, that's awesome. I mean, if it was. As 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. So they 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. 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. And 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. this is Michael with Restore My Civil Rights. I made a lot of poor decisions in my past that had lifelong consequences. After I was released from prison for the last time in 2014, I discovered the process to have my convictions dismissed and all of my rights restored, including my Second Amendment rights. Since achieving this for myself in 2018, our attorney has assisted over 3,000 others in doing the same. If you are still living under the consequences of past mistakes and would like to restore your rights as I have, visit restoremycivil rights.com and book a free consultation today. Holmberg's morning sickness. So I was like 7, 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. And you know all those guys out.

[John Holmberg]

There at heart, miserable.

[Byron]

God.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. But that was the only. Yeah.

[Byron]

It'S too loud.

[John Holmberg]

I'm sure it was off. 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. We'll use the explosive test and see if he likes that. If he likes explosions, there's hope.

[Byron]

So when he got on the intercoms. Hey, guys.

[John Holmberg]

Go six, seven, maybe six, nine.

[Brett Vesely]

Later. Sup, everybody?

[John Holmberg]

But, yeah, you blew the stuff up. And I thought it was cool.

[Byron]

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. He hated that. 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.

[Byron]

Went in a couple times.

[John Holmberg]

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

[Byron]

Dan, you're fired.

[John Holmberg]

Ye. I don't know if you were taking a kid to work day and you're calling the herd. Sweet. Watch this, pretty. I'm gonna ruin this guy's life. Hey, dad. Why don't you come on in here? Hey, TO 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. I'm gonna let you go. That'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. How'd she go? Too bad you didn't bring your kids in. I fired them, too. 7O, by the way.

[Byron]

Now let's go to lunch, son.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we're gonna go eat grilled cheese because we can afford it.

[Byron]

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 a thousand dollars like they did from the ticket in 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 head 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, 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 them out of school.

[Byron]

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.

[Brett Vesely]

Gardner put her kids to work.

[John Holmberg]

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 send them on their way. 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.

[Byron]

They bring him to work now.

[Brett Vesely]

They.

[Byron]

Since they work at home.

[John Holmberg]

There you go. We're at home. 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 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's 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 limit. 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, stop, turn around, put it somewhere else.

[Byron]

I work at Planned Parenthood. My daughter loves to follow me to 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. Here we go. Yeah, we got a kid following up. Jay, 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.

[Byron]

Hit the button.

[John Holmberg]

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

[Byron]

There's 200 daughters on the border today.

[John Holmberg]

It's good. And then another thing that's going on that's going to 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.

[Byron]

Because everyone else is.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, everybody else is doing it. So China's jumping off a bridge. We should do China and India and everybody in Russia, they're, they're, 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.

[Byron]

He just don't like hearing stuff like that.

[John Holmberg]

Why? I love him.

[Byron]

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

[John Holmberg]

What? Yeah. No. Why don't we test them? 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 blow the plate. Look at the whales.

[Byron]

Baby whale.

[John Holmberg]

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.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Oops.

[John Holmberg]

I got Chuck Schumer.

[Brett Vesely]

Whoops.

[John Holmberg]

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.

[Byron]

So the other countries that are testing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Byron]

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.

[Byron]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

Trump's going to do it that way. His isn't going to be the same as what they're doing. He's going to 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 going to throw a few bombs out there onto some island. But 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. Morning sickness.

[Byron]

[John Holmberg]

John, people are talking about Verloc 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.

[Byron]

And they carry seven different side sleep pillows.

[John Holmberg]

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

[Byron]

I did.

[John Holmberg]

But I think it's even more important.

[Dick Toledo]

To know that right now they're offering a free adjustable base with the purchase of a V5 or better mattress.

[John Holmberg]

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 operated by an Arizona native. That's Verlo Mattress in Glendale. So I would. Would you buy tickets to that?

[Byron]

No.

[John Holmberg]

You wouldn't? 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 it just doesn't.

[Byron]

And there's some fallout action on that.

[John Holmberg]

People are gonna get that close. Yeah. You get into some steel room and.

[Brett Vesely]

Then just jump in a refrigerator like Indiana Jones.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Jones.

[Byron]

You're right.

[John Holmberg]

You know what?

[Byron]

I would check it out.

[John Holmberg]

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

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, I would brushes afterwards. He was good.

[John Holmberg]

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

[Byron]

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

[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, man, 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 in the off in the distance, we're gonna throw a mushroom. It's gonna be great.

[Byron]

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.

[Byron]

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 him 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 do. We can probably nuke it. There's some DNA evidence I'd like to see gone. That wouldn't be a bad idea. New Epstein 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 if 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.

[Byron]

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.

[Brett Vesely]

And how about Tucson?

[John Holmberg]

I love that.

[Brett Vesely]

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

[John Holmberg]

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

[Brett Vesely]

You'd go, 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?

[Byron]

It's just the crowds, John.

[John Holmberg]

You don't want to get into the. You don't want to get into the traffic.

[Dick Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, ticketed event.

[Byron]

What a pain.

[John Holmberg]

Not be awesome. Especially at night. Oh, so cool. We all love it.

[Byron]

We all act like it was like a sweet had.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Byron]

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 follow the memo. What's going on?

[Brett Vesely]

I hope that voice is there. Right?

[John Holmberg]

Ground zero.

[Brett Vesely]

Yes. 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 going to do that part. Audience nuke a drug boat. That's a good idea too, Nicholas.

[Brett Vesely]

That's a.

[John Holmberg]

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 going to boom. It's gone.

[Byron]

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.

[Byron]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, for sure, Scott.

[Brett Vesely]

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

[Byron]

Jamaica.

[John Holmberg]

No, we're not doing the beach.

[Byron]

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 sign and 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.

[Byron]

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]

I. I recently watched the Bow Wow Wow, I Want Candy video.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, she was hot.

[John Holmberg]

The lead singer.

[Brett Vesely]

Bow wow was, like, with the mohawk and stuff. Like 81 or, like 16 or something.

[John Holmberg]

She was.

[Brett Vesely]

I think she was pretty young.

[John Holmberg]

Terrible.

[Byron]

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 play 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 used PayPal, 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]

That's because no chicks had mohawks.

[John Holmberg]

Right? She was a creep. They had her in the ocean and the wet clothes and she's. They're all on the beach and stuff. Look at that.

[Brett Vesely]

I think she was really young at the time.

[John Holmberg]

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? Damn it.

[Brett Vesely]

That's what I heard.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know.

[Brett Vesely]

I didn't look it up yet.

[John Holmberg]

How did she age? Look at that. 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]
