Episode Overview

This episode of "Holmberg's Morning Sickness" centers on the show's popular advice segment, "What Would Brady Do?" (WWBD), with listeners submitting personal dilemmas for the crew's trademark irreverent analysis. John Holmberg steers the discussion, often roasting both the emails and the advice, while Brady Bogan attempts to weigh in with a more measured, sometimes moralistic angle. The episode covers three main situations: how to handle an overly obnoxious friend who isn't as funny as he thinks, how to deal with an ex-husband marrying a much younger woman, and possible signs of shifting boundaries in a less adventurous marriage.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. When Your Friend Isn’t as Funny as He Thinks (01:14–14:37)

Dilemma:
A listener wants to tell his well-meaning but painfully unfunny friend that his antics are more annoying than amusing. The crew dives into office dynamics, comedy “chairmen,” and the blurry line between being high-energy and actually being funny.

Key Insights:

• Energy vs. Fun:
  • John: “You’re confusing high energy with funny.” (04:46)
  • Brady: “I think people will learn. They gotta learn on their own.” (05:23)
• Friendship and Honesty:
  • Brady: “If you were really friends with him, you’d be able to address that, no problem.” (03:13)
  • John: “How important is this friendship to you? If it’s driving everyone nuts… somebody’s gotta say something.” (03:29–03:44)
• Comedy Chairman:
  • John and Brady talk about being the "comedy chairman" and enforcing group boundaries on humor.
  • John: “There are comedy chairmen, and they miss the boat a lot of times.” (08:14)
• Personal Anecdotes:
  • The team shares stories about office characters who thought themselves comedic but were just a buzzkill to the room, with John describing a “Wild Whitney” who would interrupt serious conversations with bizarre “bits.” (04:07)
• When to Intervene:
  • Holmberg and Brady agree it isn’t wrong to gently confront friends, especially if their behavior is alienating others:
    • John: “I don’t think it’s a bad thing to occasionally go, ‘Do you realize you’re just making people upset? Don’t do the wacky dances anymore.’” (10:56)

Memorable Moment:

• John’s analogy about people who aren’t in the “in-group” trying to join—“He was the white kid that hangs out with black guys and thinks he can say all they can say... like Malibu’s Most Wanted.” (12:57)

---

2. Ex-Husband Marrying a 23-Year-Old (15:56–20:27)

Dilemma:
A 52-year-old ex-husband plans to marry a 23-year-old. The ex-wife, feeling left behind due to health and weight struggles, is upset that their two teenage kids don’t want to attend the wedding. She accuses the father of being a "pig" and wonders how to handle it.

Key Insights:

• Parental Sensitivity:
  • Brady: “Dad’s got to be a little more sensitive about that… Rolling that out on the kids.” (17:41)
• Children's Agency:
  • John: “If the kids don’t want to go, and he says they have to… that’s the issue.” (17:26)
  • Brady: “If the kids just don’t want to go… you got to understand why they might not want to.” (20:09)
• Poisoning or Protecting?
  • John: “You may not realize it, but you’re poisoning. Even from your email, you called him a pig four times.” (19:19)
  • Byron: “Tell her to put down the Cheetos.” (19:40)
• Double Standards:
  • John discusses how society might treat a reversed gender situation differently:
    • “If the roles were reversed, she’d be bragging about how she got some young guy and her kids loved him. It’s probably true. There’s a double standard.” (19:42)

Notable Quotes:

• Byron: “Sounds like she blew it.” (19:34)
• John: “Maybe find a treadmill.” (20:15)

---

3. Getting a Bartender Fired—Now What? (20:30–21:31)

Dilemma:
A listener is worried after getting a bartender fired at a favorite spot—will the other staff see him as a "rat"?

Key Insights:

• Brady: “I think the more you bring it up, the worse it’s going to get.” (20:52)
• Byron: “Bars and restaurants are a knitting circle, though. The rumor’s going to get out of hand… you’re screwed.” (21:16)
• John: “I think you might have to find a new place.” (21:23)

---

4. Wife’s New Behavior and Flirty Friendships (21:31–29:44)

Dilemma:
A husband’s wife (never particularly adventurous) has started trying new things sexually after growing close to her female friend, who stays over often. The husband finds his wife and her friend cuddling under a blanket and wonders if a potential threesome is in the cards, or if he’s misreading things.

Key Insights:

• Female Friendships—Cuddling and Boundaries:
  • Brady: “Yes, they are wired that way that they can snuggle without having the adult women [intent].” (23:35)
  • John: “You don’t share blankets as adults unless something else is going on.” (24:22)
  • Byron (skeptically): “No, no.” (23:46)
• Is It an Invitation?:
  • John: “Ronnie and her hot friend lift the blanket and say, ‘Get in with us.’ You just think that’s a fun cuddle? That’s an invitation, man.” (24:40–24:54)
• Brady’s Rose-Colored View:
  • John and the team poke fun at Brady’s innocent view:
    • John: “Goddamn rose colored glasses, Brady, open your effing eyes.” (27:41)
• Nature of Adult Female Friendships:
  • John: “I don’t think women can snuggle under blankets together and there’s not something awkward or… That’s not normal.” (28:31)
• Advice for the Husband:
  • Brett Vesely (Listener): “Say nothing but remain hopeful and prepared.” (28:48)
  • John: “I wouldn’t breach it. I’d be like, ‘Hey, what’s with the cuddling?’” (28:51)
• Brady wraps up: “Stop cuddling with friends. You’re adults. That stops at a certain age.” (29:01)

Memorable Exchange:

• John: “Can girls snuggle like that under a blanket? Yes, they can. Without it being sexual?”
  Brady: “I don’t know.”
  John: “I don’t see that at all. Adult girls, adult women… I just don’t.” (25:14–25:37)

Episode Tone and Style

The crew maintains a loose, teasing, and sometimes raunchy dynamic, punctuating advice with personal stories, friendly jabs, and the occasional brutal honesty. Holmberg keeps the mood irreverent: not afraid to call out harsh truths or highlight double standards, while Brady (the alleged “moral center”) often feigns innocence or adopts a play-it-safe attitude—only to get called out for his “rose colored glasses.” The team’s rapport and ability to rib each other is as much a draw as the advice itself.

---

Takeaway

Fans of "Holmberg’s Morning Sickness" get a solid dose of comedic advice with a real-world twist—sometimes a little raw, often off-topic, always entertaining. Advice is doled out with a healthy awareness of social nuance, plenty of personal baggage, and an unvarnished approach to life’s messier situations.

[John Holmberg]

Holidays are here, Brett. Mmpguns.com that's where you go, Brady. Are you ready to solve everyone's life? All right, here we go. This is a tough one. Dear Brady, I. I have to say that I think it's time I told a good friend of mine that he's just not funny. He does wacky dances and hoots and hollers like it's 1960. Like, he's on laugh in. He's loud and he's bouncy, and people laugh because he makes the room uncomfortable. And he's so sweet. I like funny. Don't get me wrong. He's a great guy. Super positive. Maybe too much, but it's time he was told. He's just annoying. Stop touching people. He's so nice and so sweet, but I think he really thinks people enjoy his brand of humor. And I've heard from other people that they just don't. How do I tell a friend that what he's doing is actually sad?

[Brady Bogan]

Stop being a friend.

[John Holmberg]

You think you don't want you to move on. You don't want to be friends with him. But what if you really like him?

[Brady Bogan]

Like, well, I mean, how long has this guy been friends with him?

[John Holmberg]

You can be friends with somebody, and then socially, they get really uncomfortable and awkward.

[Brady Bogan]

If you were really friends with him, you'd be able to address that, no problem.

[John Holmberg]

You could tell somebody that. I'd have a hard time.

[Brady Bogan]

Look, you need to stop doing that.

[John Holmberg]

People don't think you're funny. Yeah, I don't know if you could do that. I don't know if he'd take that. I don't know if a person. Like, I've always said that.

[Brady Bogan]

You know, it just sounds like. How important is that friendship to you?

[John Holmberg]

If it is, it would be very important.

[Brady Bogan]

I mean, if he's losing people because it. Or it's making harder for your other friends to hang out.

[John Holmberg]

Here's the thing.

[Brady Bogan]

That's when you talk.

[John Holmberg]

If you've got the one guy who turns into wacky clown in and amongst a group, you're like, oh, is he gonna start in? Is he gonna be that dude that won't stop? That he just swinging at every pitch? He's normal most of the time, but in a group, he tries to be the life of the party, and he's just not. I've always said this. I remember saying this with my friend Colin years ago about a girl who. Remember Wild Whitney Brady.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And everyone thought she was funny. But no one thought she was funny. And she'd walk around Brett at work with her fingers in her armpits all the time. Just in the middle of a sentence, you and I could be saying, oh, Brett, I'm so sorry that your dog passed away yesterday. It's rough. And she'd come up and go, when I get nervous, that's my armpits like this. And then she'd walk away. She'd do like Saturday Night Live thing.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh.

[John Holmberg]

And she, she was like that guy from Airplane that just shot onto the scene and made a joke. Yeah. And then would leave. And I remember I told her, I'm like, hey, I'm not saying I know you well enough for this. I loved saying this to her too. I'm like, you're confusing high energy with funny.

[Byron]

And you're wrong.

[John Holmberg]

You're just annoying people. So don't. Because she would come over and do a bit and it was, it didn't matter if she was invited into the conversation or not. She just kind of involve herself and with high energy nonsense. And nothing was funny. It's like, oh, that you. So people just tolerated it because her heart was in the right place. She wanted to be fun, but what she was was just over the top anxiety. And no one liked it.

[Byron]

And you were the first one.

[John Holmberg]

I told her, like, I didn't like her, though, so I didn't care. So I went over and I told her. I'm like, look, you're confusing energy for entertainment. And there's a big difference.

[Brady Bogan]

And I could tolerate it. I mean, it is what it is most people did. Like, I, I, I think people will learn. They gotta learn on their own. Because I don't think I also, I, you know, bothers me, the people that feel, oh, I'm, I'm the person that.

[John Holmberg]

Needs to tell this person, no, I'm fine with that. I'm fine with it. If somebody's like, if you're driving me.

[Brady Bogan]

Nuts, I don't think it's funny.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but it is.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, who are you being? The comedy chairman?

[John Holmberg]

There's comedy chairman. There's a comedy. Yeah, there's, there's, there's definitely a comedy chairman. You know that more than anybody. When we used to have a guy in this building that would try to involve himself in the jokes and it would piss you off.

[Byron]

All right, which one was it?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah.

[Byron]

Who is it?

[John Holmberg]

I'll write the name down.

[Byron]

All right.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, I know you can't say, I'll.

[John Holmberg]

Write the name down, but I remember when he Left the room after he said exactly the same thing I just said, trying to be funny. And you go, it's just different when he says it. And I'm like, what?

[Toledo]

Just rubs me the wrong.

[Brady Bogan]

Because I know.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

That's not comedy though.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, that's right. So you were the comedy police.

[Brady Bogan]

That's.

[Brett Vesely]

No, that guy's not funny anyway at all. He's right though.

[Brady Bogan]

It's acid.

[John Holmberg]

This is the. See, look, he's getting mad again. This is the point. He thought he was funny. Oh, he's wrong. He thought he was funny and you.

[Brady Bogan]

And what did I do?

[John Holmberg]

Hated him. You giggled.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, that's all right.

[John Holmberg]

And then he'd leave the room. No, you weren't. I mean you, you took it out on us. He'd leave the room, that guy.

[Toledo]

You know, some people say it just doesn't. Just rubs you the wrong way.

[John Holmberg]

Like I'm with you. I'm with you. He's not funny. And so you were the comedy chairman once. You knew and you were right.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, but there wasn't anything funny about some of the comments.

[John Holmberg]

He thought he was hilarious.

[Byron]

I don't think I've ever heard him.

[Commercial Announcer]

Say funny thing ever.

[Brady Bogan]

I was not the comedy chairman.

[John Holmberg]

You wanted someone to say something. You should have cuz you said it to me. And you were right. I was more than happy to do it. If you just said somebody's got to.

[Toledo]

Get in that guy's ass.

[John Holmberg]

I'm like, I'll be your huckleberry. You hate it. One day was going to punch him. Wow.

[Brady Bogan]

No, no, no, not by me. I go, we'll find out.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. He'd come in and make a little.

[Brett Vesely]

Around to find out.

[John Holmberg]

Here's the thing, I, I would make like a, like a fat joke or something and then a few seconds later he'd come into the studio and make like pile on. And Brady'd laugh at it with us. Cuz it's a safe space, you know that. And then he'd come in and you just see Brady just. And he'd leave.

[Toledo]

I just don't need it when he's.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't need it.

[Toledo]

I don't need it from him.

[John Holmberg]

It was great. So there are people that sometimes do need to be told. You realize at least with, let's say.

[Brady Bogan]

You, at least with Brady haven't seen in years or whatever and comes up. So what are you trying to get up to? Yeah, that in front of a bunch of people that you know, which is.

[John Holmberg]

What this guy's asking. He's like look, he's missing one thing. He's missing the mark. So there are comedy chairmen, and I know it bothers me. Yes, there are. There are comedy chairs, and they miss.

[Brady Bogan]

The boat a lot of times.

[John Holmberg]

And usually they're threatened because.

[Brady Bogan]

No, wait a minute. Oh, no funny guy in this group.

[John Holmberg]

No, but then. Then you're not funny if you're. If you're worried about that. But if you need to say, if.

[Brady Bogan]

The other guy's worried about your concern.

[John Holmberg]

You'Re confusing funny with ass.

[Brady Bogan]

Just make sure he gets that straight.

[John Holmberg]

You're doing exactly what I'm talking about, confusing energy with comic ability. And there are funny people, and there are people who think they're funny and somebody who is funny. And I'm going to go ahead and say us can go up to somebody who's not and go. You realize you're just pissing everyone off, right? And that would be just fine. And you can walk away. Oh, John thinks he's the comedy chairman. I am. When it comes down to people who aren't funny, who are annoying you or what? Brady's going to punch you. I think it behooves you to go, hey, Brady's thinking about swinging at you if you come in the room again and start making fat jokes on top of us. It's not.

[Brady Bogan]

It's not an excuse.

[John Holmberg]

You were not happy with it. I know you weren't really gonna attack him physically. Oh.

[Brady Bogan]

The point is, it potentially will happen and they'll find out.

[John Holmberg]

But here's the thing that it did. It would set you off.

[Brady Bogan]

What he'll say to the. You know, you say to a certain.

[John Holmberg]

Person, yeah, but it would set you off into a certain mood outside of, once he left, he'd wrecked you for a few minutes, like you were mad at him, so you changed your attitude for at least a while. I'm not saying you to physically assaulted the man, but it did make your next few minutes a higher climb.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, he wasn't going to take a swing at him.

[John Holmberg]

It took you off your game. It took you off your game because you were thinking about how much you hated that guy when he'd leave the room and I would find it hysterical, but I'd have been more than happy to if it started to continue to be a problem. Go over, go.

[Brady Bogan]

Hey.

[John Holmberg]

You know, he does not think you're funny at all. So when you come in and start joking, it pisses him off. So be careful.

[Brady Bogan]

And there are other things behind it, too.

[John Holmberg]

Well, you just didn't think he was funny.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, he's a mole.

[MMP Guns Representative]

There was.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. We never really had a mole. That was just.

[Brady Bogan]

That was never confirmed.

[John Holmberg]

That was an easy mark to say he was a mole. He was never a mole, but it was definitely something that used to drive you nuts. And he'd leave the room and man.

[Byron]

But Brady's right in this case, because knowing that person, you know who I'm talking.

[John Holmberg]

But the fun of it all was Brady's just going, this is fun.

[Toledo]

You guys are great times. I like it in here.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, fat ass.

[Toledo]

It's just different when he does it.

[John Holmberg]

And then it was over. Like the fun was over. So. Yeah, there are like it. It would have done certain people.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. The delivery, the intention is they confused.

[John Holmberg]

Their energy with funny. And some people just so I don't think it's a bad thing to occasionally go. Do you realize you're. You're more just making people upset. You're bothering folks. Don't do the wacky dances anymore. Stop it. No, not you, Larry. You know who we're talking about. Yeah, Nobody thought he was funny.

[Brett Vesely]

Exactly.

[John Holmberg]

He thought he was a funny person. He wasn't. And you heard Brady's even still calling me.

[Toledo]

Well, there's a mole anyway.

[John Holmberg]

Still all pent up anger about this. I found it.

[Brady Bogan]

Accusations fly.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, it was great. Somebody just asked, what's the code word for nine? It's elite. No, I'm not saying you go around going, you're just not a funny person. That's wrong. You wait. You gotta wait for a person.

[Brady Bogan]

You know how to tell if you're.

[John Holmberg]

A friend and your friend's driving people nuts and you're struggling to take that person out anymore because it's like, oh, they're kind of embarrassing or a little bit off. Yeah, everybody's got that one friend. Brett's over there thinking of Brady, wanting to punch our next over. Oh, it was great. Oh, when he came in and it was just, you know, it was random. He wasn't in here a lot. I think I could watch Brady be.

[Toledo]

Like, hey, John, have a good weekend.

[John Holmberg]

And you just hear in the back, hey, Brady.

[Toledo]

Oh, is he here, that guy? Just, you know when he says hello, it's just different than another guy's hello.

[Brady Bogan]

It's ador. Dark cloud that walks into the room.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I didn't feel the dark cloud. You did. You just did not care for his brand.

[Brady Bogan]

No, there's nothing. They. There's. The room does not light up.

[John Holmberg]

It didn't light up or. Or dim down there's.

[Brady Bogan]

Nothing. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't find him funny, but I watched him think he was. And I watched it bothering him.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Once you knew something that was rubbing the wrong way, you just knew it was gonna.

[John Holmberg]

I thought it was like, oh, this is not gonna go the right way. Because he didn't.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't know what his deal was.

[John Holmberg]

Because it just seemed like he thought he was on. Yeah. I think he thought he could just pop in and sit and hang with us, and it would be like, he's just one of the guys. He wasn't. You know what? He was. He was using the N word. Whoa.

[Brady Bogan]

What?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Basically, we were a group of people that could use it. You know what I mean? And then he came in. He's the white kid that hangs out with black guys and thinks he can say all they can say, like, Malibu's most wanted.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And then you realize, hey, man, you're not. You're not in this crew. You can't do that. And so he kind of popped. He would. He would elbow his way into our little group and try to be part of it. And you're like, you're not part of it. Oh, it was fun to watch Brady get mad. You're gonna like this one, right? So, yes, there are. There are comedy chairmen in and amongst.

[Brady Bogan]

If you're gonna address it to your buddy, just make sure you go about it the right way.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just. You can be a little bit. Just go, dude, you gotta calm down. In public settings, you're driving people nuts. Ah, come on. It's for fun. I know it's for fun, but it rubs people the wrong way. I mean, you can still be funny. You just. You're over the top. If he's vaudevillian and crazy, you gotta be like. You gotta calm down. Pull it back.

[Brady Bogan]

It can help you out sometimes, too, because you get to this dude, this. Sometimes you can be the. What is it? Progressive commercial.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You're rich.

[Brady Bogan]

Like, hey, yeah, you're doing it.

[John Holmberg]

When you're doing the Wacky dances and you're losing your mind publicly and that just. It's a cry for help, really, more than anything else. Nobody laughs at the Wacky Dance, man. Out of the blue, that guy.

[Toledo]

I know who you're talking about. He drives me nuts. Die in a fire.

[Byron]

Send Brady over there to handle it for you. He'd do it. Yeah.

[Toledo]

Hey, I'll tell you what, chief. Keep it up.

[John Holmberg]

This one says, all right, all right. Leave Toledo alone. It's true.

[Brett Vesely]

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?

[MMP Guns Representative]

Brett, 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.

Okay, but what if he lives out of state?

[MMP Guns Representative]

Proud sponsor of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Holmberg's morning sickness. Like, if Toledo started to do like bits on the air, we'd be like, what are you doing? You're not funny. We all do it to him. It is not funny. Like you would. How would you describe Toledo?

[Toledo]

Hilarious.

[John Holmberg]

You're gonna laugh at me even saying that. So they're a comedy chairman. He's a nice guy. He does a good job, he plays along, but I wouldn't, you know, like have him open for Bill Burr anytime soon. This one says Brady. My ex husband is marrying a 23 year old woman. He's 52 years old.

[Byron]

Pig.

[John Holmberg]

She wrote it. I didn't say it. She's very pretty and she's very nice, but so what? He's a pig. He wants to invite me to the wedding. We have to get along because we have kids 14 and 17. We got divorced because I lost my confidence. I gained some weight from a medical issue with my knees and I haven't been able to get the weight off because I can't work out. I feel gross and Frankly, I just shut off. Anyway, he moved on. Our kids do not want to be part of this pervert father wedding. I don't think they should have to go. The kids don't want to go. And he says I'm poisoning them against him. I don't want to keep being a bad guy, but we hate what's happening to their gross, perverted dad. Pig. What would you do, Allison? Oh, man.

[Brady Bogan]

It's definitely a tough wedding to go to. Yeah, I. I think, you know, there's a part of me saying, try not to poison it. I understand that. But not attending, you don't. You don't have to go.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

And, you know, for the kids. Now, if the kids are feeling that same way.

[John Holmberg]

She said the kids don't want to go, but what if Dad's like, they better go, and they're going to. And if the kids even say they don't want to. They're 14 and 17. You got to do what mom and dad say. Yeah, but mom saying no, and Dad's saying yes. There's the issue.

[Brady Bogan]

Dad's got to be a little more sensitive about that. Rolling that out on the kids. You know, you could say it is what it is and let them. Let them adjust a little bit first. I want you to be the ring bearer. I want you to. Yeah, don't ask that on that.

[John Holmberg]

They're new moms.

[Brady Bogan]

You have to understand where they would. They might have a tough time with that.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Might be rough. Especially because mom's fat and can't walk around because bum knees now. And now he's got this new piece.

[Byron]

And David said maybe she stayed on her knees. She'd still be married.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. Maybe she.

[Brady Bogan]

But if there's a wedding.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that poor woman emailed, asked for help, and gets hit with Vasquez on the email. You son of a bitch.

[Brady Bogan]

If there's a wedding you. You want to attend to see a potential explosion happen.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. If you're on the guest list for this.

[Brady Bogan]

Couple of chardonnays under the belt.

[John Holmberg]

Absolutely. I would break my rule of no more weddings for this one, because that's gonna happen. Something horrible is gonna happen. Once the alcohol gets flown, the reception is where you want to go. The wedding itself. Who cares?

[Byron]

DJ services here.

[John Holmberg]

Brett will do it for free. Free. I'll show up and do it for free then. God damn it. I need to borrow your stuff.

[Brady Bogan]

Extra time on the toast.

[John Holmberg]

I will DJ that want to toast.

[Brett Vesely]

I'll open mic.

[John Holmberg]

I don't even know. Yeah. Yeah. Anybody who has anything to say, please, I gladly help out with that wedding. That sounds incredible. But, yeah, the kids. If. That's the tough one, though, if Mom's like, you shouldn't go. Your dad. You are poisoning him. Even from your email I'm reading, you called him a pig four times. You may not realize it, but you're poisoning.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, well, and she's, you know, just step away if you can.

[John Holmberg]

Well, she can't. Ready? Your knees will break. She's got a wheel away, that's what. Yeah. Sounds like she blew it.

[Byron]

Sounds like she's the pig.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Slowly step away.

[John Holmberg]

Slowly. Be very careful.

[Byron]

Tell her to put down the Cheetos.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. It says this lady is a pig herself. If the roles were reversed, she'd be bragging about how she got some young guy and her kids loved him. It's probably true. It is different. There's a double standard, and it's weird.

[Brady Bogan]

I mean, you know, that's a tough one to begin with, inviting your ex.

[John Holmberg]

Well, the mother of your kids and stuff. You gotta play pretend everything's okay. She doesn't have to go. And if he really wants the kids there, he has to talk to him. But if Mom's throwing.

[Brady Bogan]

If they just don't want to go. I was, you know, to him, I'd say, you gotta understand why they might not want to go.

[John Holmberg]

Your dad's gross. Your dad's this. She's. You're definitely spewing some venom around the house, that's for sure. So maybe be nicer. Maybe find a treadmill.

[Brady Bogan]

It's too fresh.

[John Holmberg]

Said six years older than his son, stepmom. Porn man. It's happening. It's coming. That's right, Daniel. We're all thinking the same thing. This one says, dear Brady, I got a bartender fired by making a complaint to a manager. And I love this place, but I'm worried. Now the other employees think I'm a rat. Should I ignore it or talk to the staff about what happened? Sign. Tony.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't think there's anything I. I think the more you bring it.

[John Holmberg]

Up, if you make a complaint at a restaurant and you come back and that person's gone, you should worry for a little bit till you get a vibe on the staff of how close everyone was to the person that got fired. Especially if you were the one that.

[Brady Bogan]

Feels like you might have serious power.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

If your complaint was the one that's like, oh, you did that.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

You know, you must be spending some money over there.

[Byron]

Bars and restaurants are a knitting circle. Though it's just the rumor's gonna get out of hand and out of control. You're screwed.

[John Holmberg]

You think?

[Brady Bogan]

I think you might have to find a new place.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Byron]

Unless they really hated that person that got s canned. But he's screwed other than that.

[John Holmberg]

All right, Finally. Dear Brady, I'm in a weird situation with my wife. My wife and I have been married for 11 years. It's great. We both have good jobs, make good money, good sex life. In my opinion, since we've been married, neither one of us have had any close friends. I don't go hang out with the boys. She doesn't go postinos with the girls. We just like being with each other. The only close friend that she has is her cousin's wife. They both love working out. They're in the gym together a lot. They go running together. Maybe just take that last emailer down to the gym with these two and get her back on the ball. Get My wife is a physical therapist, athletic trainer, and she needs to be in good shape for her job. I got lucky. My wife's cousin is kind of a jerk. Treats his wife lousy. Not too respectful of her feelings. So she hangs out at my house a lot. No big deal. From what my wife has said, her friend knows a lot more about sex than my wife does. She's into more stuff. My wife has always been the type of girl where sex happens in the bedroom. Nothing super adventurous, but it satisfies me. Recently I noticed my wife is way more sexually active. Not sure what change. She's more adventurous at night during sex. Recently opened the back door. She's giving me a lot of daily mouth hugs. Wow. Life's been good. I got out of bed the other morning and my wife was already up and had been to the gym. And I make my way to the couch and her friend is over and they're kind of cuddling friends. Husband wife's cousin had been pretty mean to her that morning, so she was crying on my wife's shoulders. So I see my wife and her snuggling under a blanket. My wife lifts the blanket and says, come over here. And suddenly the three of us are cuddling. I'm getting excited because my wife's ass is rubbing against me. She knows what she's doing, but her friend is right there. Nothing happened. After a few minutes, her friend got up and left and had to go to work. Is my wife and her friend throwing me hints? Am I reading too much into this? Are women just that different that they can cuddle Together. We don't do that. Do you guys do that? Do I have a shot and a menage atois here? Do I let this progress naturally? Do I bring it up to my wife? I'm interested in actually doing it? Do I have something to worry about? What would you say, Brady?

[Brady Bogan]

Yes, they are wired that way that they can snuggle without having the adult women.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Snuggling blanket, sure.

[Byron]

No, no.

[Brady Bogan]

And the other thing is, you walk in your house, don't assume there's.

[MMP Guns Representative]

Okay, yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

You're reading into it because it's a trap.

[John Holmberg]

But let's get back to this. You think you come home and Ron and her friend are under a blanket holding each other, that that's okay or normal?

[Brady Bogan]

No, I think to them, they could say, yeah, that's normal.

[John Holmberg]

You would walk in and go, okay, that's. You would.

[Brady Bogan]

First of all, it's always cold at the house. I mean, women with blankets and jackets, but not all the time.

[Brett Vesely]

Blankets.

[Commercial Announcer]

Sharing it.

[John Holmberg]

You don't share blankets as adults unless something else is going on. Ask your Uncle Jack. Yeah, maybe we're asking the wrong guy about this.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm just saying I think she could be getting randy with you, but I don't think it's the invitation for the two of them. I wouldn't read into that.

[John Holmberg]

Really? Ronnie and her. Ronnie and her hot friend lift the blanket and say, get in with us. You just think that's a fun cuddle. That's an invitation, man. That does.

[Brady Bogan]

Okay, go for it.

[John Holmberg]

Don't you think you would see that as just friends laying on each other? I mean, seriously.

[Brady Bogan]

I mean, if that's what he's looking. No, that's what's happening. Yeah. I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

How would you. How would you react if Ron.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm just telling you that. I mean, you're. The way you're describing it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

And the way it actually, you know, you're putting more into it. Can girls snuggle like that under a blanket? Yes, they can. Without it being sexual?

[Byron]

I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

I don't see that at all. Adult girls, adult women. Ronnie and a friend could snuggle under a blanket and you'd think that was just friendship.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. You would?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. If you came home right now and Ronnie and her friend were snuggling under the same blanket.

[Brady Bogan]

Depends on what friend you're talking about.

[John Holmberg]

You know, you think there's a friend that you'd be like, yeah, that makes sense.

[Brady Bogan]

That came over and any friend.

[John Holmberg]

You wouldn't find that peculiar? Like right away. There's something more to that. You can sit and hold someone. The second you're under blankets together and you're cuddling, that's intimacy. That's different than just like friends being there for each other.

[Brady Bogan]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

There's a line crossed there, laying down.

[Brady Bogan]

If it's strong enough. I mean, the.

[John Holmberg]

If anything, one of them is distraught. So you'd cover that one in a blanket and maybe hold them. But that's not intimate snuggling. And also the blanket doesn't lift up for more people to join. Your wife is telling you that she's more than friends with this girl and she's going to try to show you.

[Brady Bogan]

Comfortable enough to invite him into the.

[John Holmberg]

Mix a lot more than just a. And you really. I don't, I'm struggling with that one. I don't think any general.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah, no. The general answer as far as can women do that without it turning into sexual. I gotta get it on with you. But it doesn't have to be wired differently that way.

[John Holmberg]

I don't think so. I don't think they're wired differently.

[Brady Bogan]

They're very nurturing to each other.

[MMP Guns Representative]

Yeah, it's.

[John Holmberg]

Nurturing and snuggling are two different things.

[Brady Bogan]

Under blankets, we interpret it as, oh, this is nurturing. You know, random person. If they were doing that to their girlfriend and then they turn around and do it to you, that's a ghost sign.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but under a blanket. If Matthiah was under a blanket with a girl, you came home, you'd be like, what's going on? It's like we're just snuggle.

[Brady Bogan]

She had a tough day at work.

[Byron]

No, no.

[Brady Bogan]

But then, but then says, come over here.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe there's something even if they didn't.

[Byron]

Well, she did say, come over there.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

But it's. I just don't think they're. Grown women snuggle under the same blanket. I just don't. I don't think they're not wired that differently. This one says, goddamn rose colored glasses, Brady, open your effing eyes. Yeah, that one's not.

[Brady Bogan]

She got riled up. Riled up?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Even still I'm worried because she started.

[Brady Bogan]

Flirting with him more so. I don't know about the. I would think I'd want a little more feedback out of the other girl to know that saying. Oh, okay. This is the next step.

[John Holmberg]

Your wife has turned out she's getting lesbified.

[Byron]

Should be a title nine soon.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. The girl that's upset with her husband has Come over and your wife is a target now. And it's working. I don't. I don't buy into the idea that women can just. They're wired.

[Brady Bogan]

Shutting off towards him.

[John Holmberg]

Huh.

[Brady Bogan]

Which is a good.

[John Holmberg]

No. She's still in on it. But that's, you know, it's a little bit of a.

[Brady Bogan]

She's going through an adventure phase. Maybe, Maybe.

[John Holmberg]

But I don't think women can snuggle under blankets together and there's not something awkward or. That's not normal. That's just not normal. Because even you said I don't.

[Brady Bogan]

You don't see it too often.

[John Holmberg]

You don't see it at all. If you see it, something else is going on.

[Brett Vesely]

This guy says, say nothing but remain hopeful and prepared.

[John Holmberg]

Yes, that's exactly right. I wouldn't breach it. I'd be like, hey, what's with the cuddling? You two just sit and lay under blankets together? That's. There's more to the story here.

[Toledo]

No, we just like to cuddle in the daytime.

[John Holmberg]

No, nobody. No adults do that. That's not an adult move. This guy says, are the girls cousins? No, it's the girl. I think it's her presence. Married to friend. Yeah. Anyway, so walking to my wife, cuddling a hot friend, be like, what the hell are you two doing? Can I get in on this? Can I be a Toledo and cuck this situation? At the very least, yeah. That's pretty much how that works. Anyway. That's strange. Stop cuddling with friends. You're adults. That stops at a certain age. There you go. My goodness. You guys have some issues. There it is. It's 98 KUPD. That's what Brady did. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said, fully erected.
