[Brady]

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.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, but what if he lives out of state?

[Brady]

[Brady]

Friend Wayne from Amco. And Wayne, if my car has an extended warranty, do I have to take it back to the dealer for service?

[John Holmberg]

No, Larry, if you have an extended service contract, you can use it at.

[Brady]

Any amco, it's nice to have other options.

[John Holmberg]

I'll say Amco has dealership quality rental cars, no hassles and faster service.

[Brady]

Amco does more than just transmissions, right?

[John Holmberg]

Right. If you need car repairs or hear, feel, see, smell, or even think you have a car issue, call Amco first. Just Google Amco for your nearest location.

[Brady]

That's AM MCO transmissions and a whole lot more.

[John Holmberg]

You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil. Sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not evil. He's just a bit rude. Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Tuesday. It is 5:45. This is the morning sickness. My name's John. There's Brady. Brett's not here today and Toledo is here as well. We start the show miserable. Just got word that Brett's dad passed away last night, but in a peaceful way, in his sleep. So literally just got that a couple minutes before the show started. So definitely our brains aren't a mind. At least I don't know, isn't 100 in this. Today I'm thinking about Brett, who again, like I said yesterday, has just been an absolutely positive breath of fresh air for this entire room for the last five and a half years. So we've grown quite close to him, I would say. Wouldn't you say, Brady?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And do you think.

[Brady]

I mean, what's the proper toast? Sambuca.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, let's. Yeah, let's drop God. You know what? I don't love him that much. Let me just go that far. I'm not going to toast them. If you. If you can tolerate some sambuca, raise him up in Brett's dad's honor and in Brett's family's. Brett Matthiah and the gang over there going through this, but, yeah, Sambuka is a tough one. I'm not gonna. Huh? Malort. Jesus Christ. I mean, this is. I thought we were gonna do a tribute here, boys.

[Toledo]

I said, go have a Malort with your dad. He goes, we probably will.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. God. Yeah. Well, I'm just glad his dad isn't here to see that, for crying out loud. But, yeah, Malort and Sambuca.

[Brady]

What?

[John Holmberg]

What's. We need a better toast. Either way, we're thinking about you and that's proof right there. We're thinking about you now. I'm thinking some negative stuff right now, and I shouldn't be, but yeah, it's. It's never fun. And that news just happened for us and I don't know what time that they found out. But Mathias just text me about 10, 15 minutes ago and let me know that that was it. And, you know, you get to these situations, and you just. You plop down into nonsense and say, I'm glad it happened that way. I guess of the worst inevitable news you can get. I guess the passing peacefully in the middle of the night is what we all kind of.

[Toledo]

I felt guilty because I was so happy that my mom was gone when.

[John Holmberg]

Well. And that's where your mom was going through the COPD in that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just. It's just yuck. And you just feel for the person. You know, I never.

[Brady]

You know, when they're in the final stretch. Yeah, it seems so. I mean, there's a lot of similarities. But you. You want them like my dad. Like, I don't want it to drag out.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I would never equate this to an animal. But you kind of do. I've not been through the. The big whips of, you know, parent. Parental loss, but we do that so much for our dogs. We see them suffer, and we're like, we just have to end this. Like, it's gonna hurt, but I want this to be over for them. And so I've said it before. We show our.

[Toledo]

Our pets more dignity than we. Our loved ones.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And so, yeah, they're going through it. I'm not gonna drink sambuca, though.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

No.

[John Holmberg]

God had to like something other than sambo.

[Toledo]

Nice bourbon.

[John Holmberg]

You know what we can do?

[Toledo]

There's some nice tequila in the other room.

[John Holmberg]

Little ragu. A little ragu. I said throw a little ragu in a cup and throw that in. Bread will be thrilled with that. Mama's gravy. I mean, the best you can do. Just anything in honor, if you can take the sambuca or the malort, Which. Good Lord, do you not have taste buds?

[Toledo]

We do have a jar of ragu as well. In the other.

[John Holmberg]

You know what? We'll pour out some raghu for homie. Yeah. It's just. It's just cruddy news. That's. That just sucks. So. To Brett. We love you, kid. And just. He'll be back when he's back. People already just blowing up my emails and my phone saying, tell Brett you guys can tell him to be Vesley. And is it V E S L E Y V E S E L V E S E L E Y. I always screw his last name.

[Toledo]

Not L E Y V E S E L Y.

[John Holmberg]

That's why I get the E screwed up every time. V E, S E, L. Yeah, Vaselli. If I get it right one of these days. I've known him for a long time, and I always ask him, how do you spell your last name? I screw up that last D all the time.

[Toledo]

If it wasn't in my phone, I'd probably screw it up every time, too.

[John Holmberg]

V E, S E L Y. B, V E, S E L Y. And you can pass on your well wishes to Brett, because I'm sure he'll. He'll love. He'll love that. That would be a nice thing. Just say, and even though, you know, throw a bomb at him, hit him in the head with a little joke, make the guy laugh. You know, a couple of those Internet memes that Brett seems to be such a fan of. Now's the time. Yeah, no, now's the time. I mean, if there's any. Look, everybody always emails me. In 25 years of doing this, everybody always emails me and says something like, you guys were the first ones that made me laugh after this happened. I. I got a laugh out of this. It made me. You know, and they get a kick out of it. And so you always get that one dude who's the jackass that says, hey, knock, knock, or something stupid right after. You're like, I just give you the worst news of my life. And it's cathartic. Let me tell you that. It can help out. So to Brett. Cheers. And we get right to that. Also to Veterans Day. I mean, Veterans Day is here upon us. And you've got the letters from the kids. I assume. We'll do those in a little while. The only time I ever say that with any sort of happiness, you've got the letters from the kids. Normally, I think that's the worst radio thing in the world. We read letters from the kids.

[Toledo]

The worst would be having the kids read their own letters.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. Oh, God. I don't ever want to hear one talk. But the. Wait a minute. Somebody just said, how about some ceviche? Brett's Italian is ceviche from yesterday's conversation.

[Toledo]

No.

[John Holmberg]

We can do that anyway. Yeah, so we get those letters from those kids. It's. It's the Harris that does it, right? And every kid in the school.

[Toledo]

Harrison.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Every kid in the school drops a thank you note to the veterans, and then we get hold of them. I don't know how we get hold of them. Are we supposed to mail them for us? What?

[Toledo]

Yeah, they do them for us.

[John Holmberg]

All those kids color and write letters. So we can make fun of those years. Bad the school system is.

[Toledo]

It started.

[Brady]

I'm a tradition.

[Toledo]

It started because they wanted to do the letters. And I said, oh, you got to get me some of those letters.

[John Holmberg]

Because we were stuffing those letters in with the. We dropped those boxes when we were. When we had a war. We would fill the boxes of stuff to send to the troops for the holidays.

[Toledo]

To the Arizona troops.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And there was. And then. So the kids are just doing this.

[Toledo]

Kids are just doing it now. And then we get them to Margie at mam and. And she distributes them with fan packs.

[John Holmberg]

Task.

[Brady]

What's the grade average again? Is it third or.

[Toledo]

I thought you were talking GPA.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, these kids are running about a 3. 8. Brady. They're pretty bright.

[Toledo]

I think it's. I think it's awesome. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Three through six. They're reading at a fourth grade level. They're. They're full of themselves right now. They're feeling a little. They're, you know, they're flexing on the other kids in the second grade. But that's all right. You know, one of them. I'm gonna get a house soon. I'm reading pretty good third grade.

[Toledo]

You should see how I do fractions.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You see fractions so far past that. I'm fifth grade in that stuff. Well, we'll see what they can do. And a lot of them. Look, I think if we made Brady write a letter to the troops and stuffed it in there, you wouldn't know. I mean, it would be a little bit more cohesion to the words. But that hand might not be a.

[Toledo]

Tang high on the plex.

[John Holmberg]

Tang high on the plexus. That's where this all began. And that was like eight years ago when some kid wrote a letter to the thing and for some reason ended it with the phrase Tang high on the plex. And it was our 67 for, like five months. We had no idea what it meant, but it couldn't be like it was a good thing. It's like, look, whenever something good happens to you, Tang high on the plex. So that's how we felt.

[Toledo]

We talked about it, like, maybe. Maybe a month ago or so. That kid, I think, is graduating this year.

[John Holmberg]

Shut your mouth. Shut your mouth. Tang high in the plex is 18. Yeah, come on here. That's by.

[Toledo]

By time.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I guess he was probably 12.

[Brady]

His grade average was.

[John Holmberg]

Well, he's still in fifth grade, right? Tang high in the plex is not. He hasn't advanced, like, educationally. He's still stuck where? Tangy groove. What if Tang High in the Plex. Like, I want to meet him. Does he know he's Tang High on the Plex? Does anyone know him?

[Brady]

He started 6, 7.

[John Holmberg]

He's the kid who's got that going. He's getting all six, seven royalties. Come on. Yeah, come. Liver spots are just blowing up off my arms. Tang Hai on the plex. Can't be 18. He's like 13. Maybe I don't even want him to be a teenager because we did Tang High on the Plex. Was that the old building?

[Toledo]

I think it might have been the first. Because that might have been the first year here.

[John Holmberg]

That's nine years ago.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, for Mother. We've been doing this too long. At certain point, Tripp even asked me that if you. Do you still want to keep doing morning radio? I'm like, what are you talking about, old man? I'm like, we're doing this together. Yeah. Yeah. No, but why? What, do you not want me here? No. I just can't imagine wanting to do that for 30 years. Well, I couldn't imagine it either, and here I went. Are you firing me in the worst way ever. No, I want you to stay. But, man, don't you hate waking up? All right, I'm leaving. Your office.

[Toledo]

Yes.

[Brady]

Folgers. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. The best part of waking up is going back to sleep anyway. I had to put some gum in my mouth because I'm dry.

[Brady]

He knows where you lie in the mornings.

[John Holmberg]

No, he knows. He knows. I am an un. I'm a reluctant morning man. It's my dad's curse. My dad cursed me to be a morning person. He cursed me 3am Summertime. Probably 15 years old. So we'll go back.

[Toledo]

You're not throwing up weights at 3am, though, right?

[John Holmberg]

He was. I was awake.

[Toledo]

Oh, no.

[John Holmberg]

He loved it. He loved alarms to wake him up. He loved being awake really early. He's a farm guy. So he'd wake up, see me on the couch, still awake from the night before. What in the hell are you doing? This is not how the world works. Like, it is too, old man. I'll make this work. It's not how it works. You'll see. And then I think he did a thing like a Stephen King novel. I curse you thinner. And I'm like, what? And then I had to start waking up at 4 in the morning every day for a quarter of a century. I'm fine with it now, but. Because I figured out how to stay up all night and make this Work.

[Toledo]

Been a year about that on that.

[John Holmberg]

I'm back and forth with it. The last few weeks have been so crazy with my daytimes. I haven't been able to get naps. So I'm kind of back in the. I'll fall asleep at like 11 and then wake up at like 2 and try to. I'm only getting three or four hours at a time. It's working great. And I'm still brilliant, by the way. I have proof of that right now. I'm gonna read something to you guys. Oh, yeah. In five minutes, I'm gonna give you the code word for taking it app. It's going to be good stuff. I was at the Sun's game last night and Kevin Ray came down. We started talking afterwards and I got all amped up. I got to. I got to calm myself down. They looked so good, but the Pelicans are so awful. They look so good with their, you know, getting healthy again. And these guys play really hard and they're fun. And he came to. Kevin Ray came down to my friend Mark Stebbings. And I heard Mark go, you think? I'm like, what are you two talking about? Kevin thinks this team's got a legitimate shot to be a high end playoff team. They've played like, oh, no, not now. No, don't do this.

[Toledo]

High end. So like one of the top five.

[John Holmberg]

Top five, top five.

[Brady]

Income.

[John Holmberg]

It's because they do play really hard. And if they can get some chemistry together and stay healthy.

[Toledo]

I notice they go on runs. Every time I look at the score, it's. It's like tied. They're. They're down two and next thing you know, they're up 20.

[John Holmberg]

All I've learned in the last couple weeks is that Grayson Allen hated Kevin Durant. That hat. That's it. Because he scored 40 something points last night. He couldn't, he couldn't miss. He had 18 in the first quarter. I think it was incredible. The guy was hitting everything and I'm like, this would have never happened if Kevin Durant was out there. He hated Kevin Durant. He just always gave him the ball and stood around like, I hate that guy. He's like, I have to give it to you. I think Kevin Durant's nickname here was the black hole. Cause once the ball went to him, it disappeared. It was. But they all look happy. Like Kevin Durant's gone. And I don't know if he was just kind of a. He was the best player on their team for three years, but they just seem happy. Again. And he went nuts last night. If Grayson Allen can become a 30 points every once in a while guy, let alone 40 plus, you've actually got a team that can do some damage. Not necessarily win a champions. They're not beating Oklahoma City or anything, but come on. Crazy. So Kevin got us all amped up last night with his insanity of, you know, championship talk or at least a run. No, no, no. Look, nobody expected them to.

[Toledo]

How many games in army?

[John Holmberg]

10, something like that. Somewhere around seven or eight. Either way, don't. But in 2021, Kevin reminds us, everybody expected that to be a seven or eight seed. And it ended up going to the finals, winning 60 plus games. God damn it. So Kevin. Kevin Ray came in with his Pollyanna nonsense.

[Toledo]

Flag this show.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, flag it. All right, we'll do it. I'm not. Okay, I'll say it right now.

[Toledo]

I'll do predictions.

[John Holmberg]

11, 1125 at 5:58am if the Suns go to the finals, I will cut off a toe.

[Toledo]

Oh, okay.

[John Holmberg]

I'm not going to do tattoos anymore. That's silly. That's. I will cut off a toe. Not the big one. That's for balance. How about my fourth toe from the left on my left foot?

[Toledo]

Yeah. Because I think you need your pinky, too, don't you? For balance.

[Brady]

I thought that pinky was important.

[John Holmberg]

I don't want the pinky. Pinky and big are huge. Four is, I think, kind of dopey. Although it's long.

[Toledo]

I can't flex that one, man.

[John Holmberg]

My. My toes, 2, 3, and 4.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Are as long as my middle finger and third finger. All right, let me change that. I thought maybe amputating something would be good, but that's good. Maybe I gotta go back to tattoos. All right, I'll go back to tattoos.

[Toledo]

Just a knuckle of the toe.

[John Holmberg]

Just the top part.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

That's sort of like Vietnamese torture, isn't it? That's just dumb. Yeah.

[Brady]

And the tattoo.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Of a foot without a toe is a 311 tattoo. Okay. There it is. If the sun's gone.

[Toledo]

Your toe.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, on my chest. Oh, their logo. Brady's. Right. A big one. Nip to nip, they call it. I'll go nip to nip311 if the Suns go to the final. Jesus Christ. I'm actually going to root against the Suns. I'm going for season tickets to root against them. I feel bad because last night I told Kevin Ray because me and the boys went. A bunch of us, like a whole bunch of Friends were happened to be at the game and they're all Rah Rah Room members. So I'm like, well, head in after the game. We're sitting there, I'm just like, hey. I text Kevin, I'm like, game's overhead. The Rah Rah Room. And he was probably 30 minutes later than the game ended. So right as it's ending, we're wrapping up, we're all done, and Kevin comes in, orders a drink. We talk for a few minutes, like, all right, Kevin, we're all going to go. What are you guys doing? I just got here. It's like, we're going to leave you high and dry, friend. And it was so sad that all of us just tailed off and just saw sad Kevin alone at the bar in his suit, looking so nice and trying to convince people the Suns are championship team. He will argue with me that he said that, but he got us all fired up. So be careful with your words, Kevin. Right. We're not that bright. Or are we? Listen to this email. Oh, the word. Six o' clock word. Here it is. Prize. It's prize. This glorious Veterans Day prize. And put that in the 6am promo code box on your app. You can win a thousand bucks. It's just that easy. We buy you love. Listen to this crap. You never thought this would happen, by the way. You're going to be like, I, I never. No way. Yeah, and I'm saying the same thing. Dear John, I'm a retired astrophysicist and I've worked in science departments. Watch this.

[Toledo]

No way.

[John Holmberg]

Watch this. And worked in science departments my entire life. I listen to your show because you're a lot more brilliant than you give yourself credit. He's probably right. I like to consider. Well, I'll let him say it, but.

[Toledo]

Have we researched his accreditation?

[John Holmberg]

No. Since then, I actually did not do any of that. His. My humility is the strongest thing I've got. So I let him say all those words. I mean, I'm too humble to do it. Really super humble. People always compliment me on it, and I know deep down how humble I am. Anyway, it says when you theorize that a spacecraft would come and blow up the sun long before it would ever search for a planet with life is so spot on. I started a study here at my department at U of A. You guys hadn't thought of that yet? Because I'm considering a full paper on this, and if you'd allow it, I'd like to title it the Home Bird Conundrum. The arrogance Of Humanity and Alien Encounter.

[Toledo]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

By the way, to both of you guys.

[Toledo]

Exactly. Screw us. You'll be on in perpetuity.

[John Holmberg]

Or something of the like. I will name that whether you agree to this or not. I just wanted to be courteous. You make me laugh a lot. It's wildly appreciated. In my world, scientists are a dark people. I wish Brett was here to hear like that would. That would have thrown Brett to the floor. Many of us not that funny at all. However. Signed, William H. The Home Bird Conundrum.

[Toledo]

Can you guys rename Sodomizing Linda?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's not just called the Home Bird Conundrum. It's one of those papers that. This is why I always got. Yeah, it's because mine were always like two pages Red Sox and then. But this is always like a cool title, like the Holmberg Conundrum. The Arrogance of Humanity. An Alien Encounter. Come on. And if you weren't listening the other day, I basically said, we are the Corey Feldman of space. We think we're famous. We're kind of known, but we think we're famous enough that people would come to us.

[Toledo]

Oh, we're known. We've been telling people we're here for how long? 50 years? At least.

[John Holmberg]

We've been running around Corey Feldman. Ing this thing, screaming out to the rest of space, hey, notice me. I'm Corey Feldman. I'm famous. And the rest of space is like, I'm not going to the Corey Feldman planet. That's dumb. Let's go blow up its sun.

[Brady]

But think about it on the other side. That we assume that we're the ones throwing it out there, and there could be another planet, whatever, that's been throwing it out for thousands of years, of course. Picking up.

[John Holmberg]

Of course there's something else doing stuff like that. But if they're like, we're big on this Three Eye Atlas thing that's behind the sun right now to the point now where they found something else next to it.

[Toledo]

Saw that last night.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. They got some other thing now. That's something.

[Toledo]

Something rays. Something about the gamma rays.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. I'll talk to Bill over in Science. Yeah, yeah. And. Oh, they've got all sorts of stuff tied to Three Eye Atlas that they're trying to scare. But they keep saying it as if we're the target. If they found the sun, they wouldn't have to go around it. They go. They go. Next, they only go use the gravitate. No, we'd have to use that they got here.

[Toledo]

What if the sun is their supercharger. Anyway, I gotta wait 20 minutes for this to charge.

[John Holmberg]

What we're talking about right now is the Holmberg conundrum. It's a well known science. It's a. It's more of a view would be awesome if this like. And but here's the other thing. Why haven't scientists thought of this? You guys are that arrogant too, that it took some jackass on the radio to say they're not coming for us. They blow up the sun for if they're hell bent on destroying stuff, there's the way to do it.

[Brady]

And for all we know, that thing could be the dolly steamboat. It's giving a tour around the sun for people and we're the mountains the whole time.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that could be.

[Toledo]

That's actually very funny.

[John Holmberg]

That would be awesome. If you look out the right side of the spacecraft, you'll see some Earth people that are the mountain goats of space. They don't do.

[Toledo]

How long we got on this? Jesus, get me back.

[John Holmberg]

All they serve is M and Ms. God damn it. When does this end?

[Toledo]

Glark John and Glark Brett are on that ride.

[John Holmberg]

I guarantee you. I love you. Arizona's playing on that one too. Because it's design to put. I. I think the dolly steamboat's designed to put you to sleep. And then somebody rifles through your pockets and you go out and you're like, what happened?

[Brady]

I don't remember buying drinks for everyone.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, people who've been human trafficked come out of that thing a little more cognizant of what's going on than you. You get Bill Cosby's victims walk down the hall of the hotel going, I kind of have my wits about me.

[Brady]

What just happened?

[John Holmberg]

You leave the Dolly steamboat kind of confused about your whole life. Like you literally are like, we're going to stop by a. A Home Depot on the way home. Get a rope and a bucket. I might kick the bucket out from under me.

[Brady]

Today you're also picking up wood to make your Pima Indian ladder to lean.

[John Holmberg]

Up against your house. Put it up again.

[Brady]

It's the epitome of a first time visitor to Arizona.

[John Holmberg]

Get your Coca Cola.

[Toledo]

You pick up Lake Deadwood. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Well, you get your dumb ladder that ends up holding an Indian blanket somewhere in your house. And then a kokopelli nearby.

[Toledo]

Do you actually have to strap it with leather?

[Brady]

Oh, if you want to be authentic, for sure.

[John Holmberg]

Love you, Arizona. To your right, the boring humans.

[Brady]

Yuck.

[John Holmberg]

Anyway, the Homer conundrum, it's sort of a Thing.

[Brady]

That's cool.

[Toledo]

Oh, it's being studied.

[John Holmberg]

It's not just being studied, voice. It's being written about and could potentially someday win a Nobel Prize. Okay. That's the deal, Dr. Bill. If in fact you do win any prizes, for that, I get to at least go to the ceremony because it's technically mine.

[Toledo]

Wouldn't you be. If you go to that ceremony, you'd be back home with your people away in Sweden.

[John Holmberg]

No, that's actually. That's true. I'd go back to Stockholm and hang out with the folks. Pear and Brit.

[Brady]

Yeah, you do some yachting with the other. The final. The other Homeburg.

[John Holmberg]

He's in the Caribbean. What do you think he would acknowledge you? Oh, he might actually say hello. Yeah, the other John Holmberg. Yeah, he does not like me. It's. It's like me in the mirror. The other John Holberg doesn't like me.

[Toledo]

It turns away.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, the other. The other John Holmberg looks at you, go, you're disgusting. And that John Holmberg in the. In the Caribbean. I tried to email him. Just started John Holmberg convention, and he quickly shut it down very fast. But I can go back to Sweden and get my. Yeah, my award for the Holmberg conundrum. It bothers me a lot, though, that they haven't thought of that or if they have. They haven't really done any, like. Because I've watched that one dude from Harvard, he's gone on every show about Three Eye Atlas, and all he's talking about is visiting us. They're visiting us. They have to go behind the sun to get the gravitational slingshot. And I'm like, they got here.

[Brady]

Yeah, they passed us. Well, they could have.

[John Holmberg]

Well, no, no, no. It depends on what you're coming at us.

[Brady]

I thought they were slinging back around to do another pass by.

[Toledo]

Yeah, but he's right toward us. They came in from one direction. No, they would.

[John Holmberg]

It would slingshot at us. So you have to kind of get. They got next to the sun and then they whip it. But if they got. If they got that far, they don't need slingshots. That's what we did with the moon because we didn't know what else to do. Why would they travel through all of space and then use our stupid technology? I bet you they got stuff they can get.

[Toledo]

Not our technology.

[John Holmberg]

Because they're not coming for us. They're looking at the galaxy. They don't know we're here. They're looking at the galaxy. And if they have explosives on the Mine. If they're basically Indiana aliens, they're coming with their tannerite and their silliness and they're gonna blow up the sun or they're just that. You'd see stuff start to blow up on the way in. Hillbillies don't plan it. They just throw it out the window. So if they're hillbilly aliens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They throw the space over. They're just gonna go, pew, pew. What's that?

[Toledo]

Gas on the beach, right?

[John Holmberg]

Yes. They pour gas on beaches and run from it with the gas can in hand. That's a hillbilly alien. So if they're coming for us, the Holmberg conundrum states quite clearly, they wouldn't blow us up. They'd blow up the sun. Now the big question in the Holmberg conundrum, are they like the Japanese warriors of World War II where they were willing to self sacrifice to explode up a galaxy?

[Brady]

They've been the chosen crew.

[John Holmberg]

Yep. Or is it some type? This is also probably. Let me help Dr. Bill out. This is probably also part of the homework conundrum that maybe it is some sort of a sacrifice that they were sent across space as punishment to, you know, to blow up, to just die in the sun. Like throwing them in a volcano and stuff.

[Toledo]

Yeah, it's their honor. What do they call that?

[Brady]

Sacrificial.

[John Holmberg]

Sacrificial. Yeah, they get rid of them to, like have fertile women. I don't know. Yeah.

[Toledo]

Joe versus the volcano.

[John Holmberg]

Whatever it is, they're tiny and they're out there by the sun and stuff and they're starting to see propulsion. I'm rooting for it. I kind of hope it happens. I think it would be neat. I want to be on the planet when the next phase happens.

[Brady]

Again.

[John Holmberg]

I've said it a million times. I don't want to be like my grandpa. Born the year the White Sox won the tainted World Series. Died just before they won it again in 2000.

[Toledo]

Excitement.

[John Holmberg]

Never saw anything except for Hitler. Was like, kind of gonna say he was like 10 or 11. Did he appreciate it? I don't think so.

[Brady]

Maybe they got word about the giant gold vein they found in China.

[John Holmberg]

You got some of the rare earth minerals that they're here for. Perhaps. And that's the other part of the Holmberg conundrum, as it's been called now, Brady, for several minutes. The. We think that our. Do you ever see those things where the scientists say, well, if they ever came here, it would be because they blew. They're like us. They wrecked their planet and they want our resources. They're here to mine our resources, Mike. Oh, yeah, they love the gold we made up. And I know helium and you know, stuff that we have under the earth that I don't understand. It's all written in the homebrewer conundrum. You guys can read about it soon. It's like they know that that's here. They might look at it and go, hey, that's pretty close. Let's see. But that one dude from Harvard keeps popping up on TV talking about how he sees jet propulsion.

[Brady]

I love what his colleagues think of him at Harvard.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that guy, yeah, they love him. He's like ahead of the whole department. And he runs around on TV as the spokesperson for this three eye atlas. And he always.

[Brady]

He's the only one.

[John Holmberg]

Well, no, he always cushions the blow and says, look, there's some weird stuff going on. It's probably just a rock, but it is acting kind of strange. And then he'll go on and on. And then he even says, if it is aliens. And they do come here like, you arrogant pile of garbage. Why do you think that we're. We're. Corey Feldman. Nobody's coming to this show. This is going. We can book this at the marquee and keep our fingers crossed that we can at least get enough people to get close to the sound guy. But I've seen it. There's not many interstellar show out there.

[Toledo]

Somewhere that's saying, hey, you gotta go see these, and it'll double the attendance.

[John Holmberg]

Here's the other. Yeah, there's like. Yeah, there's a morning show in space going. You guys haven't seen this crap. When you see humanity. Oh, my God, are they lame? And that's the thing. There's. And it's also a group of people you don't want coming here if there are fans. Because then there's Corey Feldman's fans in a spaceship on the way. Yeah, the homer conundrum is very deep.

[Toledo]

And they're gonna find out we're not all like Corey Feldman.

[John Holmberg]

How about that? That's pretty awesome. I think.

[Brady]

What if they're close talkers?

[John Holmberg]

This guy says, do you really trust a guy like that, though? A scientist in Tucson. Can he be that smart? I do believe that U of A has a massive. Like their rovers down there. Yeah. Mars in conjunction. They didn't need biosphere.

[Toledo]

They helped out with NASA with that.

[John Holmberg]

All these are failures.

[Toledo]

Biosphere's still going on, isn't it?

[John Holmberg]

It's a tourist attraction. It's nothing more arcosante. It's like that people. Day three of the biosphere. People started having sex and breaking out. Yeah. I don't know. And didn't see some dude buy it.

[Brady]

And like, leaks on the outside, leaks on the inside.

[John Holmberg]

Complete mess. It was like this building. This is basically. We're in the biosphere. It barely works. The air conditioner sucks. And we all want to leave once the show's over anyway. Interesting enough though, to sit and think to ourselves that that's possible that they'd come here. But we. We are so brilliantly arrogant. And I don't like that one thing. That guy's right. I don't trust that the scientists heard me say something. Go, you know what? He's right. I don't like really smart people saying that's a novel thought when it seems so simple. I'm sure they've thought of this before, right? I'm sure they've thought of, like, how they could blow up the sun. But they think that they're like. They think that they. We're so stupid. They think we think that aliens want to meet us. Do you want to meet trailer trash? Because we're space trailer trash. If they're flying all the way over Here, that's the Rolls Royce, and you're driving a Hugo. We're gonna. We're gonna be the. We're gonna. You know. Remember old Jer who used to work here? Yeah. That's who we are to the aliens. Like, they're gonna want to go to, like, stake 44, and they don't want to take us because we. We can afford Applebee's if we've got a coupon.

[Toledo]

We're gonna. We're gonna order the cheapest thing on, embarrass them.

[John Holmberg]

They're gonna come here, and we think that we've got something going on. But have you seen their car? It's pretty awesome. Like, I go to the rah Rah room, and there's some high pressure on some of these dudes. When you go get your car to walk past all those Bentleys, those things are trash compared to what's coming.

[Toledo]

What's the worst car you've seen coming.

[John Holmberg]

Out of the Rah Rah room? Probably mine.

[Toledo]

The white Jeep.

[John Holmberg]

Black Jeep or the white Jeep? Yeah, probably the white. It's a 2013 Rubicon. In fact, 12 years old, a dude parked my Jeep. And they give you the keys at the end. He goes, man, your Jeep is loaded up. I'm like, oh, you off road. And he goes, that thing has got some secrets on it. And I'm like, yeah, it's kind of got some hidden gems in there. It kind of makes it a good crawler. I said, I'm not good at it because I don't know how to fix it. So I have to go with people who know what they're doing. He goes, yeah. And then he hits the button to start the engine. And in that parking garage, my engine just went, oh, my God. Whitey's proud. No, Whitey's proud. And I walk towards the deal, and I look, and I realize that the 392Rubicon V8 is parked next to me, and it's a white one. He was talking about that one the whole time. He thought that was mine. I'm like, this is the wrong key. You gave me the wrong key. He started it for me and hands it over. I'm like, this isn't my car. Oh, sorry. You're the cruddy one. Like, no, it's still good.

[Toledo]

After you'd just gone through.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And I was sitting there telling him everything about, yeah, it's got to get this isn't that. And then a calculator and a. And a chai rod, and I don't Even know any of this stuff.

[Brady]

It's been through some terrain.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. It's been, it seems miles on it.

[Brady]

It's seen some man John F. You.

[Toledo]

I refuse to believe that we live in the Merryvale of space.

[John Holmberg]

We are. We are the Merryvale of space again. If a Rolls Royce pulls up in your driveway, do you sit back and go, oh, we gotta straighten it up. Or do you go, hey, maybe they'll take us over to Chili's because that's what the aliens are gonna think.

[Toledo]

They'll go outback at least.

[John Holmberg]

I think Brady's feeling bad about this. You look at me as if you've got the opposite opinion, that we are quite reasonable and something desirable. But you love neighbor talk.

[Brady]

No, I think it's Christopher Columbus of the alien world coming to discover this island.

[Toledo]

Yeah. You're excited about it.

[John Holmberg]

So he's gonna come slaughter us.

[Brady]

Discover? Yeah. They'll bring some disease, fall in love with ranch dressing. Something like that.

[Toledo]

Look at you with a dark outlook.

[John Holmberg]

How did ranch dressing get all mixed up in this? Just because Americans are fat, there's a hillbilly factor. Oh, there's a hillbilly fed. You think that they'll come over and adapt to our ranch dressing way? What's gonna happen is they'll show up and do what we did to the Native Americans and what Australians did to the Aborigines. And whatever they have as sugar and white flour will be poured onto a super proud and fit group of people again. Go back and look at the Aborigines before the Australians got there. And it wasn't like when they started to bother them. There's photographs like, australia's not that old. There's photographs of what happened to the Aborigines in a matter of 15 years. Alcohol, sugar and flour. And when I was in Australia, the tour of the Aborigine village, the cute tour guide girl goes, and we took a page from the American colonists and introduced alcohol and sugar to the natives. And within few months, they were no longer as vital and vibrant as they once were. And you're like, what, you took a page from the Amer? We did that. And you guys said, hey, good idea. Fatten them up, make them lazy and drunk, and then we can force them into, you know, undammed water retention zones and then break the dam. Here's your new land. It's filled with water. It's great. It's got it all dammed up for you. It's great for. Well, you can do agriculture and everything. We're giving You a bit of space for Australia. We're just going to take the coastline, if you don't mind. That's our coastline. Didn't understand you there, savage. All right, off we go. And then they just undo the big.

[Toledo]

Rock in the middle.

[John Holmberg]

The day they. The day that they're like, all right, we are all set up here. I think they talk like ours too. We are all set up. We are ready to go for more great Aborigine stuff. All right, open her up. And then they just flooded them out with 25ft of water. It was terrifying. And then they do it again, like down the road. Yeah, your friends up there met with some bad luck. Shouldn't happen to you once you get down in this giant pit. Have some more sugar. These are called Liquor Maids. You guys are gonna love these. Maybe that last group got flooded. Did you do that? No, mate, we wouldn't do that, Nar. Then they flooded them too. And it was like the eighth tribe before. They're like, all right, that's enough. No more liquor made and no more moving. We're sticking it. We're staying here. By the way, that rock is called Uluru. Not anymore. My name's Ayers and I've named the rock Ayers Rock. It's mine. Go stand in your retention basin. That's what we'll be. We'll be the Aborigines and the Native Americans. When they come over and they introduce us to something, they're like, what the hell is this? And they'll go, it's glocmar. Jesus Christ. It's better than liquimate. And then we get fat and lazy and diabetic and we sit and stare at these colonists who just ravage us. And we're like, oh, we gave it to them. We're morons. We've seen this.

[Brady]

Just the ones that are living off the grid survive.

[John Holmberg]

I kind of like your theory though, Brady, that it's the Columbus thing because everything is cyclical and we here on Earth don't have any way to discover anything anymore. Somebody has to discover us. Put this in the Holmberg conundrum. This is a good page. The Brady byline. It's like that. But don't let him write it because nobody will ever be able to. It's left handed and I think he's right handed. But yeah, that they come over because now the next cycle, the circles of history, it repeats itself. Has to be somebody else coming here. And then the, you know, the dominoes start to fall where they just take all of Earth and all of them humanity and kind of imprison us and make us eat liquor made and smoke tobacco and drink their alcohol, which is much stronger and more powerful. The side by side photos, you've never felt worse sitting in that. It's a glorious rainforest and it's a. It's a 6 or 7,000 foot, just lush, green hill. And they put this gondola in it that rides you down from the top of the hill down to the coastline of the most beautiful beach you've ever seen. And on that beach, in a huge facility, is the Aborigine Historical Center. And an Aborigine stands there in the gear while the video plays and points out his ancestors. And like, man, that's a. That's. The NFL would have gone crazy for you guys. Ripped. Just. Just Beast of Men. And then, you know, 1908, picture that. Same group, not the same people, but like one generation later and they were fat and messed up and like, you brought us sugar, lots of it, and white flour. And you're like, oh, that's what we've got. We like that. Liquor mates and something called Sprees. We loved them. We got fat on Sprees, you pricks. Anyway, watch a video and then we'll go throw boomerangs. And that's exactly what we did with my day. It's one of my more confusing days in life. I learned History of the Aborigine people and I cried at the movie, like, this is tragic. And then I went outside and threw boomerangs with one. He taught me that. He's Howie Huntmite. And for some reason they have accents like that too. He's Howie Huntmyte. See that out there? It was like a little 3D rabbit. Dude whips it, takes the rabbit's head right off. Boomerang isn't designed to come back. It's designed to slice something in half and then you go get it and if you miss, it comes back. That's the whole goal of the boomerang, which was pretty cool. I didn't know that. I thought it was just a toy. It's not. It's a hunting device. It's like a big knife, floats through space, knocks things dead, knocks them right out, and then falls next to the thing. You get your boomerang back. If you miss, it comes right back. It comes back to you. The way they throw it, the way I threw it was. Is about 45 yards. You had to go get your boomerang close. And I didn't hit anything. You're not very good at this, mate. You can throw it real far, though. Yeah. And then I would throw it and I'd hear, nar, nar, nar. And it's just a dark guy in a. In a loincloth. Like, why don't you put some jeans on? Let's act like this isn't like. Because we're not back in the part. He. Watch this. Watch me. Little 3D rabbit falls over. Cool. Now you try more like. That one's gone. I don't know what you did there. I've never seen anyone throw it straighter. It's designed to turn around. It's not even hard. Look, the ladies are doing it. Well, that's not right.

[Brady]

It's like Mad Max. And they finally get it to their hand and cuts all the fingers off.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Yes. Well, he had that bladed one.

[Toledo]

Awesome.

[John Holmberg]

And I thought that was just for movies.

[Toledo]

And that was the kid that had that one.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, the bladed one was all, you can't catch it. People try to catch it. You don't want to try to catch one. The real ones are heavy. They're not those. And then, of course, what did I do? I went back. You know, I'm gonna buy one of these. I'm gonna get good at, and I'm gonna fly back on my show.

[Toledo]

Bought the.

[John Holmberg]

In the airport. And it's got the writing on it.

[Brady]

Says, wham O. Yeah, it's.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Frisbee. Yeah. Anyway, that's what we are, is the Corey Feldman of space. And thanks to Bill over there, Dr. Bill H. Over at the U of A. And I don't know if it was Tucson. U of A. To be fair to the guy that says, do you trust this guy scientist in Tucson? Maybe he's up here at the U of A downtown doing papers based on my brilliant thoughts. You never know.

[Toledo]

Maybe we could audit his class. Is he teaching or is he.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. I'll email him back. I just got real excited. About me? Well, yeah, I just figured I'd respond.

[Toledo]

Don't you want to be there as it's presented?

[John Holmberg]

No, but what if it's really stupid? What if he's, like a bad scientist? Well, what if. What if at the end of it.

[Toledo]

He'S like, let's see your resume, Dr. Bill.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. What if he says. And that's it. That's what I've come. What if Dr. Bill is known for the dude who just comes up with wild nonsense.

[Toledo]

Kid raises his hand in class. How'd you come up with this? Nonsense. Well, I was listening to morning show.

[John Holmberg]

I'm Dr. Bill. Shut up, Wild Bill. Let me finish. I've got a new one. Oh, crap. Stupid tenure. We gotta listen to him. And he goes off on this, you know, dumb idea and then everybody boo. We've wanted to fire him for years, but he's legacy. Or maybe he's gone crazy or something and he's retired because they made him. He still pops up with papers now and again based on what he heard on the morning Show. I was listening to home books. Morning sickness. Boo. Sit down, Dr. Bill. You're wasting everyone's time again. No. They're going to blow up the sun. Oh, here we go. Could happen. Anyway, the word for this morning is prize. I'll stick to what I know, given you guys money and an attempts to buy ratings, which makes everything better for me, and that's fine. I'm going to start buying houses for people. If this. If the home bird conundrum gets going, everybody gets. I will. Okay. 6:24am 1111 25. If the Homer conundrum wins a prize at all, I'll buy everyone a house while supplies last.

[Toledo]

I was just gonna say everyone, right?

[John Holmberg]

Everyone listening to a point that comes up to me and says, think you owe me a house, bro. Then I know you were listening and also paying attention.

[Toledo]

Our next T shirt, please.

[John Holmberg]

You owe me a house, bro. The Homer conundrum. And then we'll start a real homework conundrum. I don't have enough money to buy all you people houses. I'm assuming this thing falls flat on its ass. It's like flipping a pancake. It ain't going anywhere. Dr. Bill thinks so. Dr. Bay. Look, Dr. Bill's down there doing all sorts of impressive stuff. I got to get a last name on him. But that's another thing. You don't really include information about it.

[Brady]

You'd wonder if it really was like an advanced civilization far beyond our stuff.

[John Holmberg]

Well, if they get here, they are right.

[Brady]

Come in there. I got scissors.

[John Holmberg]

Cut.

[Brady]

Cut the Internet. Cut power. No cell.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, but they wouldn't have to do that if they've got a ship.

[Brady]

They got the scramble buster.

[John Holmberg]

There's the Homer conundrum. The arrogance to assume that they have stuff. It was the thing.

[Brady]

And that's what. That's what I was saying originally. Everyone thinks.

[John Holmberg]

Everybody thinks that they're going to use our things or they're going to be so wor. Our Internet they have to cut it down. They're not worried about our Internet. We. We can scramble the Internet. You don't need scissors for that. We have planes that do it now.

[Brady]

One across the line where they say there's seven main lines that, you know, China's been dragging anchors on ships. Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

To get the fiber optics under the ocean. Brady, they can just show up and scramble our. Our feeds.

[Brady]

Right?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. They don't need any scissors or an anchor. I was joking. I know. So still, that's the homer lines that they would be worried.

[Toledo]

Got us Internet and space.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

Link is everywhere.

[John Holmberg]

They're still running those stupid cables through the ocean.

[Toledo]

I don't understand that.

[John Holmberg]

Here's the thing. We don't have to worry about. We don't have to worry about aliens coming here. Worrying about. Well, they have the Internet. We have to worry about. No, they don't care about anything we've got.

[Brady]

No, but this, our society, without electricity, Internet and phones, there'd be a little meltdown.

[John Holmberg]

You think that's going to be more. You losing the Internet is going to be more than the hovering cloud of alien.

[Brady]

Well, according to all this studies that they talk about that people can't give up their phones.

[John Holmberg]

Of course. But Brady, if you looked up in the sky and saw a massive spaceship, would you be like, oh, I can't get tmz. These guys are. Would you. I throw my phone at the spaceship. I throw my. I don't think we're that dumb. Although the Bogan conundrum has started. I don't think we'd be like, hey, my phone doesn't work. Do you think it's because of the giant thing that hovers above us now? And every hour on the hour goes, block me, stalker frock D. And they've, they've, you know, discerned that that means that you have 10 minutes to live. People are saying, pride is not working. It's Prize. Tamara Prize with a Z.

[Toledo]

Pride is our sister station.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that KDKB would do. Pride. Yeah, they just shoot down the space aids and just. They'd rain down space aids on us and then we would have our phone and the Internet we're not worried about getting.

[Toledo]

Did you check that dude's last name? You sure it wasn't Nye? I've seen that guy.

[John Holmberg]

He's a comedian. Bill Nye's not even a real scientist either way, anyway, he's writing a paper and it's got my name on it. And that is the furthest I've ever gone in college. So take that. Prize is the word at six o'. Clock. Cause I'M hearing.

[Toledo]

Trying to get in line first. First in on the house. My name first.

[John Holmberg]

All right, put it down.

[Toledo]

Stamped right here.

[John Holmberg]

You a goddamn house. An average one, too. Not like a dump. I'll get you whatever the median price of house going like. I think it's like 440 right now.

[Toledo]

You'd be in San Tan Valley.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. I'll move you out in the edges, but I'm going to get you a nice place. If this thing wins any prizes or awards that are of note, if I start seeing any money out of the home, the paper. If I get to go to Sweden and didn't just wave and it came from me, said we were the Corey Feldman of space. And this guy started. He thinks I'm. He thinks I'm amazing. It's great.

[Toledo]

John Holmberg turned out to be a great philanthropist with his winning.

[John Holmberg]

I'll be sitting there now. Peace prize. You know who I'm taking with me? Tang high on the plex. We're going to sit there and go, you're pretty brilliant. You came up with something pretty amazing. And. And look at me.

[Brady]

That's the name of your farm.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Tang High in the plex. But yeah. The aliens aren't coming here to cut up. To cut out our Internet. Everybody can call me F down show up. They would be not impressed. That's for sure.

[Toledo]

John, I don't want to rain on your parade, but that doctor has to be in Tucson because they have the Steward Observatory there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I know.

[Toledo]

They supposedly. It's a big deal for the space sciences. They wouldn't be downtown because he'd have to drive to Tucson every day just to see the space.

[John Holmberg]

Let me put this. If you're a smart man, and he evidently is, and you're a tenured professor. Doctor of science and astro. I don't know what he does.

[Toledo]

Sure. Throw it in there. Astrophysics.

[John Holmberg]

Sure. Okay. Probably quantum. Yeah, all of it. Would you live in Tucson if you didn't have to? I'd drive down to Tucson just for work and come back to reality. So smart. They got offices in downtown Phoenix now and you can telecommute. I think scientists would figure this out first. So if I'm him, I would only trust him if he's like, I love it down here. Like you're not a good scientist.

[Toledo]

Wake up, people. John Holmberg just told you that pox blankets are coming from the aliens.

[John Holmberg]

Yes, they are. Don't take. Think, Brady. Don't take their gifts. Brady. I met a double Brady last night. We were Joking around. My friend Mark brought three of his friends from college to the game last night, and they're all equally business dudes. They're MBAs. We called them the MB gays because they were just four dudes and pastels talking about daddy daughter days and boring stuff. And so we joked. Me and Jordan joked with him, was like, jesus Christ, what are you two doing? And there was a. A song that was. I think it was Coolio that was playing Fantastic Voyage. Yeah. So it's going. And one of guy goes, oh, this jam's awesome. Tried to hire him for my wedding. Almost pulled it off too, but then he died. Like, that'll do it. That'll slow it down. And then he breaks out his Pandora. And one of the stations he's created is hip hop barbecue. And he's shaped just like Brady. So I'm like, oh, I gotta get out of this. And he's like, what? I'm like, this conversation I know is gonna end up more boring than anything. It's either gonna be about routes to work, food, or weather. And you guys are. Your MBAs, you're dressed like MBAs, your Converse, you laugh at dumb stuff. And I started joking, and then I made a very. Like, I went into a character, and I'm like. A lot of people like to whisper the. The word Traeger around here, and that's the smoker I used to have. But I've graduated onto another thing. Joking that their conversation was this boring. And then there's a lull and the guy goes, I don't have a Traeger anymore. He started. He literally took that and followed through with more barbecue. He was very serious. When you joked about barbecue, about correcting you, I'm like, dude, I didn't. I didn't do that to. And also, you wouldn't slow and low the way you said. I'm like hypothetical making fun of exactly what you're doing. You're Rick from Progressive now paused again. Last barbecue, we didn't even have brisket. I'm like, will you stop? You. You're. You can't have. You don't know how conversations work anymore. Drink for Jan. Yeah, you are lost in suburbia. But he was very funny about it. And then when you talk about barbecue, we'd get. Jordan and I were. We were on the floor, we were dying. This guy would like. We'd joke about how boring conversations about barbecue are. And then he'd be like, well, if you get the right smoker, though, I have a. And then five minutes later, he breaks out a picture. This is a smoker. And it was some. It looked like an old. Like, it looked like an old mill from the 1800s. It was this big giant box with a tube on top of the smokestack. And I started laughing. I'm like, no one, and I mean no one on this planet finds this conversation interesting. You're new, you just got here. We don't know you, and you're talking about this. This is. You've got to stop.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah, wait until you have my brisket.

[John Holmberg]

I don't want it. Because if it comes with this, it was hilarious. He was very nice, though. We had a good time last night. All right, prize, if you want that. Prize Z E. That's how you get on that. And put it in the promo code. Meanwhile, get us a wake up song. 585-9800. A good one to start this day off strong. It's 98k, but wake up. It's not weird.

[Toledo]

It's pretty cool, actually.

[John Holmberg]

There they are. That is Katie and Hobbs. Miles to nowhere. You know them as Miles to Nowhere. We call them Katie and Hobbs because she sounds like Katie Hopps. That's as simple as it gets. Starting off Tuesday morning, Veterans Day and Happy Veterans Day to all of our veterans and everyone and active service members. Boom. I don't know if that's the. We've talked about this before with Veterans Days Veterans, you're a veteran if you're still like, you are a veteran if you're in. Right?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

So, yeah, you get to, you get to do it active and veteran. But either way, to everybody who served our country, there's the letters coming in. We thank you. And I have no words for how grateful I am because I am a coward. I don't know that I would have had the guts to sign up and do that kind of stuff. I thought about it for a minute. I got lippy about it and then I thought, know I would be a pretty quick study if I got captured by the enemy. Pretty sure we'd all be speaking German. I would have handed over quite a lot of secrets to save Johnny Skin, that's for sure. Anyway. And then Veterans Day, it's also for those who tuning in a little later than normal. Guy just said. I the time change screws him up because he's in another. He's in the Midwest. So now it's an hour earlier for him to hear us. And I'm not sure how anything works with time. So he's got, he's like, so I missed the first little bits. And he said, well, where's Brett? I hate even saying it multiple times like some sort of a. But it's fair to let all you guys know we're a team. We, we. Brett's dad passed away last night. He's been battling illness for. It hasn't been a long time. It's been a few months, as always. Diagnosed a little bit ago and it just grew and got worse and did not, did not recover. But the, the, the positive side, I guess now is that there's no more suffering and there's not going to be any more stress and everything else. Like Toledo said when he just lost. You just lost your mom a month and a half ago.

[Brady]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

And it was the same kind of feeling like, oh, I don't want to see her go through this anymore.

[Toledo]

Such relief.

[John Holmberg]

But we are heavy hearts today here on the show because our buddy Brett is going through it and you definitely feel it. Italian families, especially, holy smokes. Dads and sons, Moms and sons. But there is a, you know, not to say that it's more or less than anybody else, but they have a, an emotional bond. They're the same person. He and his dad were the same guy. And so Kurt was a just an incredibly cool guy. I knew him not super well, but well enough to, you know, hang out a few times. And I'm glad I got that chance because he was a really nice guy, and he's brilliant. Brett is the same. Same dude. Like you meet Brett. It's like, oh, he just chunked off a little bit of this guy and made a new version. Yeah, I mean, you talk about apples, trees. This. He's just a branch of the tree. Wasn't even an apple that fell off of it. But all the emails are coming in so nice. This guy says, all right, time to crank up a little AI Sinatra for our man Brett today. And I think that's great. Bailey, who's one of our. The guys that sends us those horrible videos that Brett gets to show you, says, brett's been my guy for the last few years. So I'm thinking about him heavily today. I loved all the stories about his dad over the years, and I felt like I knew him personally. We all love you, Brett. The best addition to the show we could have ever asked for. That's true, Bob. Thank you, Bailey. For sure. This one says, hearing about Brett's dad made me sad this morning. Reminded me of my story. Passing away in your sleep can't be all that bad. That's just how I want to leave the world.

[Toledo]

World.

[John Holmberg]

My grandfather did it. He was. Died peacefully in his sleep, not crying and screaming like his passengers. Thank you, Reylo.

[Brady]

Wow.

[John Holmberg]

I like that one. Says, maybe you can bring Eric into Phil for the week and move that on. Anybody else think that My Way is the only song we can play this morning? I never met Brett's dad, but I've heard nothing but good, fun things. Things. I think that's the right thing to do. RIP Papa Vesli. Yes. You got it. I think that's the. That's for sure gonna be the Wake up song today for sure. And then this. This is a good one here for Veterans Day. It says, not sure if you've said anything for Veterans Day. No, wait, it's 702. The word is luck. L U C K L U C K. Guys, come on. Grow up, Luck. Put that in the 7am promo box on your app. Take it in the app, and then you might win a thousand bucks because we got money and you can take it in the app. We heard you. This one says, John, not sure if you've said anything for Veterans Day. I haven't. I didn't Listen to the first 15 minutes. However, about a posthumous Happy Veterans Day for my dad. Harold Munger volunteered to go into the army in 1963-1966, went to Vietnam for a year, served in the 1st Air Cavalry. Today was a day that he and I shared, both having served our country. We would always talk on this day, and it's something I miss not being able to do since his passing. It would be cool if you could give him some appreciation, not that you owe him anything. Oh, I disagree completely, Cranston. We owe him greatly for putting the uniform on and doing the thing that I never had the bravery to do. So to Harold Munger. Cranston Munger and I went to junior high together. He emails in, oh, that's his. That's him. And I had no idea his dad name was Harry Munger, which is also a great band name.

[Toledo]

Was that your password?

[John Holmberg]

Cranston Munger for years. Cranston Munger 69, exclamation point. Because I, I thought if you just took the. No one is going to guess weirdest name in high school. Weirdest classmate in high school. Name was my password for years. And then of course, everybody starts making you change your passwords and you start forgetting how many six nines I have after Cranston. And then you're like, well, this is just getting out of hand. So I did Cornell Troop 69, because he was the other one with a crazy name. I had to go through my yearbook to find password names like, that's a wacky name. Now you got ET Pancake, ET Pancakes up there. That's right. We talked about him yesterday. But I will forget that because I did. I can't put a face to ET Pancake. I didn't ever, ever know him. I knew Cranston. And thanks to you, Cranston and your dad for serving today. I think that's a fantastic thing, says John. Don't forget on this Veterans Day. Never forget the kind child in Phoenix writing letters to those overseas. Tang high on the Plex. To all of us on this Veterans Day. That's right. Brett Tang. Hi to the Plex. The letters will come your way shortly from those kids that we force to make. It's almost like we're. We have a sweatshop. Every November, we make kids write letters to the troops and we send them amount. This one says, instead of getting a 311 tattoo, if the Suns do win a championship this year, why don't you just give away your jeep on the air? One of your jeeps all right, that's better. Winner has choice. The winner either says, John has to get a. I'll. I'll do a thing. And if you want to win one of my Jeeps, I'll give one of those away if the Suns win a championship. Pretty safe bet. Now, I've said this before and ended up giving away a bunch of Cubs stuff, but I think that's. I think that's fair. I'll give you guys one of my. Oh, man, that's painful to say that. That's like giving away one of my kids, but I like that one. Also, Sean has brought up something. How do we get tickets to your homeberg After Dark show? Oh, it's coming up in December, I believe the 12th, and tickets should be right around Thanksgiving or maybe a week before, so probably next week, I would guess they go on sale and we'll give you hints about who's going to be on either. We've been told, because he's making a sneak run in for this, that it kind of might be a contractual thing that we can't really promote who's with us.

[Toledo]

Yeah. Because you're affecting their other ticket sales somewhere else.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. So if you say, oh, I can see him here. I don't have to go to this. So he's just going to, quote, show up. But it's very well planned, and let's just say it's a good one. It's a real good one. Holmberg after dark will be December 12th. That says, how do you get tickets to the show? We'll let you know, Sean. Don't worry about it. And actually, Shawn Rockefeller, you have a space on the stage as our Listener of the Year two straight years in a row. Do we have another Listener of the Year candidate this year? I think Sean's always gonna get it. I mean, Haynes could do it, but no one would see him. He's so small.

[Toledo]

The physicist, maybe.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my God.

[Toledo]

I mean, you're ignoring the big news of the day.

[John Holmberg]

Dr. Bill H. Which has been. Several emailers and Scott Haynes himself have emailed in. Say I love Doct Bill Hitler's work. He did just sign it. Bill 8. He. He may be Hitler, a Hitler disciple or family member. And then he's really liked what I've had to say. I still can't believe there hasn't been a paper on this yet of note. Or if he's maybe just a bad scientist and he doesn't know. Neil Degrasse Tyson had to have thought there's an arrogance to humanity that Believes aliens are actually looking for us. Has to have. Have talked about this somewhere, right?

[Toledo]

Yeah. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

With, like, great knowledge of the Three Eye Atlas that it wouldn't come for just us. I've watched Neil Degrasse Tyson explain how hard it would be to find us.

[Toledo]

Well, that was the one I was. I was watching too, where he. He's like, look, here's a wide view of.

[John Holmberg]

It's nothing but clutter.

[Toledo]

Three different galaxies.

[John Holmberg]

Space is a junk drawer.

[Toledo]

We are somewhere in there.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And then he's like, and here's. And he puts a little pin next to here's Earth. And you're looking like there's a slew of dots. Like, all you see is. It's not spaced out very well. God did fairly poor planning for interstellar travel.

[Toledo]

Maybe space. Waymo is great.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe it's gonna take forever. Yeah. The ways thing. Megan has a thing on her ways A. I don't like riding with her when she's driving. And you change the voice.

[Toledo]

Nate Bargazzi for a long time.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. Hers is Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad. And, like, for no reason at all, it's because it sounds like Trip. It bothers me. Like trips in the car. And he calls her, like, Smiley or Doll face, like it's a Dashiell Hammett novel or. We're trying to get through traffic. You're gonna want to avoid Lincoln this morning. Smiley. What did he call you that for? I don't know. There's a little accident coming up here on 7th Street. You're gonna want to find a way around it. Turn that off. There's a man in the car. We don't need that. Yeah, but he really lets me know when there's traffic. I can see. That's how I know there's traffic.

[Toledo]

Nate would say stuff like, hey, police have been reported ahead. Maybe they heard about my family or something.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. They try to make it, but it's bad jokes. It's terrible. Also, with the homebird conundrum going into the annals of science, it says, is it there yet?

[Toledo]

It's going in.

[John Holmberg]

In the brains of scientists. That counts. This says, f that other Holmberg in the Caribbean. Tyler says, what's that dude ever done besides live in the Caribbean? He's won a lot of yacht races. I'll look him up, see if he's still alive. Okay, so we wouldn't know who he was if it wasn't for you. Anyway, you have some dude writing a goddamn dissertation about your simple idea. Makes you pretty smart. That other homer can blow it out his ass. Yeah, yeah.

[Brady]

Yacht.

[John Holmberg]

And John Holmberg's never had had scientists follow his way. Maybe he has. I just don't know. But it's not known. John Holmberg hates me. Wouldn't you Brady, if you got a letter from another Brady Bogan that said, hey, I google searched our name and we're the top two searches for for Brady Bogans. Yeah, let's do a convention and gather up as many Brady Bogans as we can.

[Brady]

We'd be best friends.

[John Holmberg]

You guys would be best friends. I try that with yachting. John Holmberg in the Caribbean and simply get an email back that says no. No, no other words. Not even like, hey, that sounds interesting. I'm too busy. Just no. He took time to respond, but with two letters it took him all of half a second ago. N O. And maybe he's googled me and he doesn't like, as he would say, the cut of my jib. Well, he can screw himself.

[Brady]

I say, yeah, but I'm big fans of yachting.

[John Holmberg]

I like the yachting. Hi. As you can tell, my name is also John Holmes Holmberg. He just hated it. No miserable sea salt smelling pig.

[Brady]

Preparation for a race. But at least you could say that.

[John Holmberg]

All right, if he's in mid preparation for a race, don't answer my email at all. The no was worse. Is that him? Look at the Jesus, that guy's got a set of cans. He looks like Ricky Gervais ate Ricky Gervais. That's John Holmberg, the world famous Holmberg sailing family. Look, next to him is me next to a heavy bag, sweating. This is why he doesn't like me. I look like a pig. Oh, I see why he's angry. Even when you google search sailor John Holmberg, I come up more than him. Why is he dressed like Gilligan?

[Toledo]

I think that might be his son.

[John Holmberg]

He and I both have gynomastia. His are fat though.

[Brady]

That was in California. There he was.

[John Holmberg]

He's over in Laguna.

[Brady]

It said.

[John Holmberg]

Click on that again.

[Brady]

Newport.

[John Holmberg]

He's in Newport Beach. John Holmberg archives Balboa and Newport Yacht Club hall of Fame sailor. Is he in it or did he just go to a thing? Is he a hall of famer? Oh, man. National Sailing hall of Fame celebrates with Balboa and Newport harbor yacht clubs. Is he on the board?

[Toledo]

Peter Holmes.

[John Holmberg]

Peter Holmes.

[Brady]

Another.

[John Holmberg]

That he hot?

[Toledo]

That might be his son, I think. Am I the only the famous Holmberg sailing family?

[John Holmberg]

Is that what that said?

[Toledo]

That's what a couple Articles have said.

[John Holmberg]

What the happened to my family.

[Toledo]

Yeah, your dad built some pretty important stuff.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but he's never been in a yacht club with the famous Holmbergs. Like, that's like a dance troupe.

[Toledo]

Maybe he's in the Construction hall of.

[Brady]

Fame this past summer.

[John Holmberg]

No, you went by my dad.

[Brady]

I went by the Newport Yacht Club.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that doesn't mean anything.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

He'S just an unnecessary aside to the story involving. Why'd you shoehorn yourself into this thing, for God's sakes?

[Brady]

I'm closer to him than you are.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no, you're not. It's just proximity. That's a. You don't know. Maybe. I was at the Safeway with him.

[Brady]

You weren't in the Newport.

[John Holmberg]

Neither were you.

[Brady]

He was there that day.

[John Holmberg]

You weren't there. You drove by.

[Brady]

I boated by.

[John Holmberg]

I've driven by when the Diamondbacks are playing. It doesn't make me one of them.

[Brady]

I boated by my rental boat.

[John Holmberg]

All right, that's stupid.

[Toledo]

Peter Holmberg is in Maroon up here.

[John Holmberg]

This the famous Holmberg sailing team Family. Family.

[Brady]

That's his brother.

[John Holmberg]

It's a whole gaggle of them. Does he spell it PT Petr, like the Swedish Peter?

[Toledo]

No, no, no, no. It is P, E, T, E, R.

[John Holmberg]

And they're over in there in Balboa. And he's getting in the hall of Fame.

[Toledo]

Hall of Fame class joins the 114.

[John Holmberg]

Current inductees of the famous Homburg sailing family.

[Toledo]

10 make it 124. Ever in the hall of Fame is John.

[John Holmberg]

John and Peter. Are they the only brothers in the Yachting hall of Fame? Good Christ. This is a pretty good home bird. This guy's got something going on here. Maybe he had every right to dismiss me. I just have some scientists taking my wacky Corey Feldman idea and making a paper out of it. This dude's in the hall of Fame for stuff. In fairness, I could be in the Radio hall of Fame. I've turned it past. Yeah, I don't want to be part of that. Have you seen who's in it? What a bunch of dicks.

[Toledo]

They sell tickets to the National Sailing hall of Fame.

[John Holmberg]

Man. That's a very narrow audience. Look at this.

[Toledo]

20, 25 inductees.

[John Holmberg]

I'm noticing a trend with the way that the hall of Fame sailors all look white.

[Toledo]

Yeah, there's not a.

[John Holmberg]

There's a lot of diversity. This is not a DEI sailing group over there in Bell. But not a lot of sailors. But I bet you their crews have some, man. Oh, man, here we go. Alphabetical. Oh, there's one.

[Brady]

Oh, there we go.

[John Holmberg]

I don't even think that's real. It's a. It's a drawing of a guy that's not a. I think absolute. What was his name?

[Brady]

Absalom.

[John Holmberg]

Show me that one again. Go back, Rich. I think he was on page one. No, I don't want to. Homework. Go to page one. I want to see Absalom. He's on the bottom there. Screw that. There he is. Absalom F. Boston. And it's just a drawing of him. And I have to think to myself, he wasn't. Oh, he got inducted in 2022. It's like, we don't have any black guys.

[Toledo]

And then he's from the veterans committee because he was dead in 1855.

[John Holmberg]

They just have a drawing of him. And it's not feed a family, make a kid happy and win a new car. It's the 25th anniversary of Operation Santa Claus, presented by Sanders and Ford, Sanders and Lincoln, U haul and ABC15. Make a donation of food, new toys, child sized clothing or money and you could win a new Ford F150 truck or Lincoln Corsair SUV. For more info go to givetothecloth.com Sanders and Ford, Lincoln and ABC15. Looking for the best football spot in town. Look no further than Hooters with wall to wall TVs, all the games and the best specials anywhere. We have you covered. Select Big Daddy beers starting at only $4 and the Hooties pick three for only $10.99 per person. It's a game changer. Honestly, where else can you go get two beers, an appetizer, two entrees and two additional non alcoholic drinks for under doll. So head to Hooters, your game day headquarters. Holmberg's morning sickness. And also I have a feeling he wouldn't have been allowed in the Balboa yacht club in 1855. That's pretty good guess on my part.

[Brady]

He's a whaler.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. So stuffing him in the hall of fame is sort of.

[Toledo]

He crewed in. He piloted an all African American crew in 1822.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, there were loads of all African American boats in the 1800s. Hundreds. Loads of them.

[Toledo]

Not whalers.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know that those guys called that sailing.

[Toledo]

Sure it was.

[John Holmberg]

I'm pretty sure that human transport. I'm not sure that those guys are like, what do you do in Africa? Oh, I'm a sailor. That's how I got here. Nope.

[Brady]

They said they chase whales and.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's it. I'm sure anything. I'm sure they were on those boats voluntarily. All black guys in the 1800s are like, oh, we love boats. Every time somebody gets me on when good things happen. Peter William Holmberg was inducted in 2023.

[Toledo]

Is the most famous sailor in the Caribbean.

[John Holmberg]

He's the other one. Yeah, he's St. Thomas, U.S. virgin Islands. Oh, by the way, Brady, I've been to St Thomas and the Virgin Islands. Closer to the homburgs than you'll ever imagine. I've been by their house anyway. Yeah. Is the Amistad in the Sailing hall of Fame? Because that's clearly a diversity move. And this year here at the Balboa Sailing Yacht Club, we use our diversity and our equity program to welcome in all the members of the Amistad, who unfortunately couldn't be here today due to death. But let it be known we included them, and that makes us good whites.

[Toledo]

Looking for other pictures.

[John Holmberg]

Isn't that right, Con Francis Findlay and Gregory Vance Fisher. We're good whites, aren't we? The best of all whites. That Armistat was one hell of a sale.

[Toledo]

There's another Gilligan.

[Brady]

One of his brother John is all bent out of shape that he's not in the hall of Fame.

[John Holmberg]

Well, he's. Yeah, John. Maybe he is, though. We don't know.

[Toledo]

He wasn't listed.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he's not. Well, screw that guy. He's mean. It's rude. Rude is what he.

[Toledo]

There you go. William Starling Burgess. Look at this guy.

[John Holmberg]

What year did he go in? 2013, but he was around in the 70s. He was born in 18 oh, 1878. That's in 1947. I'm William Starling Burgess. I sail. Hey, ever meet that Absalom Boston? Yes, he's in the bottom of the boat rowing. No, no, no, that's not sailing. Doesn't come out. He's in the hall of Fame.

[Toledo]

Not on my boat. No.

[John Holmberg]

There's no modern day Runyon, people. Come on. There's a guy's name Runyon up there. There's no blacks on that thing.

[Toledo]

Briggs.

[John Holmberg]

Boy, is that an exclusive group of annoying whites. That's got to be a rough one.

[Toledo]

Must be the only.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, and he's a drawing person of color. I don't think. Think Absalom.

[Brady]

He was on the boat and they told him to get in with the rest of the crew. Crew in the small thingy. To go after the whale.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you're big on the whale. That never happened. Absalom was not a Whaler.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. You just read the Internet. That doesn't mean anything. That is the boat cruise way of saying, what's that slave's name we used to like?

[Brady]

Kind of a little accident.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, there was an accident, all right. He got on the white boat for the whalers, and they. Well, he's a Hall of Famer because he made it off a. That.

[Brady]

Need you to go out there and chase.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah, that's right. You want me to take this here boat, chase up a whale and her.

[Brady]

Whale towards our ship.

[John Holmberg]

Hold up with nothing but a sheet, There's William Bill D. Pinkney. Oh, my goodness. Lifetime achievement award. Enthusiastic trendsetter. He just had a lot of energy. You want me to chase a what now? A whale. Absalom. I don't even know how to. That's just a sheet and a stick of wood. That's right. I get out there and grab that whale. We're hungry. I tell you what. If you even make this thing go 30ft, we'll put you in the hall of Fame. That ain't for people like me, sir. Well, it will be if you do your job, Absalom. 30ft, Absalom. I'm doing a very crude watercolor of you right now. We'll put it up on the walls. This is the worst painting I've ever seen of a guy anyway.

[Brady]

Bill Pink. They served eight years in the Navy.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And then went on to be a limbo dancer.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, none of this is sailing.

[Toledo]

Highlighting everything.

[John Holmberg]

The hall of Fame. Because these racist whites every once in a while. Recognize that Negro over there seems to be here a lot. We should put him in the hall of Fame and feel good about ourselves.

[Toledo]

Two out of 124.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. And all the rest of them are named Stu. That's a group I wouldn't want to be a part of.

[Toledo]

Part of Franklin J.

[Brady]

Wood.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Anybody got any good drawings of Absalom? Are we just going to stick with this children's watercoloring? That's good for Absalom. Why don't you all get, like, there's dudes from what? Rear Admiral Stephen Luce is from the 1700s. They actually have a photograph of him. Can't get one of Absalom, founder of.

[Toledo]

The United States Naval War College.

[John Holmberg]

You have to understand, John, we didn't have color photography back then. Oh, I see. Oh, I see. So. So you want me to chase a whale. Yes, but not like you normally do. Not a big, fat white woman. A real whale.

[Toledo]

Sea creature.

[John Holmberg]

Not that one over there. But She's. She's attractive. Oh, only to you. We don't get it. We simply don't get it. What do you see in her?

[Brady]

Here's your stick to poke it with. You don't want to put a weapon in your hand.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we can't give him a weapon. They'll take turn on us. Give him his sheet and his stick of wood and his other stick for fighting. Oh, he's poking the fat white woman again. Absalom, come over. That is not the whale we want you to hunt. I'm making waves, man.

[Toledo]

Absalom, we've talked about this.

[John Holmberg]

Get on the boat.

[Brady]

And no singing.

[John Holmberg]

That ain't a boat, man. Hall of fame, Absalom. The only thing I learned from that was Even in the 1800s, Black families named their kids weird stuff. It's the only time I've ever heard the word Absalom. In fact, it should be our word at 8 o'.

[Brady]

Clock.

[John Holmberg]

But 7 o', clock, it's luck. How about that? Luck. Speaking of weird stuff, I saw a story this morning you might have seen this too, Brady, that thinks this would be exactly in a Brady Report story that a guy named David Rush, who has broken a billion world records for Guinness Book, has done another one where in the dumbest record I've ever heard. And all I think to myself is, we are the biggest hypocrites in the world that we both celebrate this and then have the nerve to ask for money, for food, for places. He snapped 250 cucumbers in half and 30 seconds. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, 65 cucumbers in half and 30 seconds, obliterating the previous record of 50.

[Toledo]

Snapped him with what?

[John Holmberg]

Just his hands.

[Toledo]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

He just broke cucumbers in half and threw them away. And they're like, hey, give to Eunice. There's a lot of starving people out there.

[Toledo]

Is there a time limit?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, 30 seconds.

[Brady]

Karate chop.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it's got them all lined up on the edge of a table. I didn't see the actual footage, but yeah, you can go down the line and chop one at a time.

[Toledo]

You gotta have a listener that can break that record.

[John Holmberg]

You'd think so, but then you start thinking about how hard it would be to. To hand chop. You ever try to break a cucumber in half cleanly? No, honestly, no one would ever do that. So that seems like a pretty reasonable record.

[Brady]

At 60 you60 nose tapping on the keyboard, a pretty good roll on.

[John Holmberg]

I did actually. Pretty good job.

[Toledo]

Oh, that's right.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You use your Notes.

[Toledo]

Did you ever type out anything?

[John Holmberg]

No. You just went down in order, right? Did I did the Alphabet?

[Brady]

I think so. I have the.

[John Holmberg]

No, you do the Alphabet on your keypad with your nose. And I think I had two mistakes, but that was my first try and I was within the time.

[Brady]

Get this record.

[John Holmberg]

The cucumber one.

[Brady]

No, I think the keyboard one. If you went back, I bet you we get that one.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I might have to train for that a little bit harder. Let's see if the record's still the same, but we're busting up cucumbers like nobody's business.

[Toledo]

And then like people losing their SNAP benefits and we're wasting.

[John Holmberg]

And I gotta watch this. And then some guy goes on and goes, watch this. Here's a bunch of food I'm gonna throw away after. And they act like they give it to a shelter after. Who wants crusty up? You ever seen a Cucumber after, like 2 minutes without. When you crack it in half and it just sits out, they become more muck. They get that gelatinous, weird kind of goo. They almost look like a slice of tip and picklet. What? Oh, yes. All right, you. He's already on really dirty. Making them pickles. I just think that playing with food is counterintuitive to the idea of starving people in our own country with the snap. Like you said, SNAP benefits and nobody's eating and how do we do this? And our kids are starving and blah, blah. I saw another one the other day with a woman, was about 285 pounds, grounds arguing with the guy saying, why are you marching in this? My kids are starving. And then he said, why don't you give some of them your food? Because clearly you're not. And she goes, what's this all about? And then it was going to be a huge fight and the guy walked away. You can't be fat and go to marches for starving. You just have to be more self aware. You're always starving. That's why you got your problems. You can't see a group of really fat people and feel like, man, they need food. It's just not, not visually, it's not a thing. You never went to Africa and said, hi, I'm Sally Strothers and I'd like you to donate to chubby Africans of the Sahara. It's not a thing. They're. They look, they look fat, but they're really actually very hungry. There's only so much food to go around and they need to stay plump. But this guy's chopping up cucumbers. And it is kind of an impressive, aggressive idea, I guess, of going to cut cucumbers in half with your hands for 60 and 30 seconds. That's tough. It's not easy. But it seems like, I mean, Brady doesn't think it's a waste because he doesn't consider cucumbers edible.

[Brady]

But you drop them off at the local zoo as well.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, is that better than hungry people?

[Brady]

The food going to waste?

[John Holmberg]

No, no, the hungry people, though. I mean, you could not chop them in half and just give them the bundle.

[Brady]

You're saying you don't want humans to consume with the animals.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, but I'm saying what I'm saying actually is not that stupid, is I don't want people to chop them in half and then go, well, if we're going to do this, let's just take the 60 cucumbers and give them to hungry people. Let's. Let's cut out the whole chop it up and break a record thing instead and let's just give the food to people who need it rather than goof around like this. But it is a thing and that's what makes America great. Except for we're now complaining that we've got too many hungry people.

[Toledo]

Although there are a few cucumber records. Norman Johnson of Blackpool College, Lancashire, UK, said a record record of 13.4 seconds for slicing a 30 centimeter cucumber, 3.8 centimeters in diameter, 22 slices to the inch. 264 slices.

[John Holmberg]

He. That's pretty good.

[Toledo]

He did it in 13, 4. 13.4 seconds.

[John Holmberg]

So I just got sent the video of the dude breaking the cucumbers. He. They're. They're lined up on a table and he grabs them and cracks them in half with his hands and he got to 67. Two were incomplete, complete. So the official record, 65. But again, let's not sit back and go. We could give it to the zoo creatures. Why don't you just give the cucumbers to the people who are hungry to start with?

[Brady]

Well, did he do it maybe?

[John Holmberg]

No, it's not blindfolded.

[Brady]

Okay. But if they're buying those cucumbers for the animals to begin with and then.

[John Holmberg]

We'Re cracking in half. Okay. I suppose if you're going first and are cucumbers really a staple diet for a lot of zoo animals? Animals, sure. Is that just made up? Throw it at them and they'll eat it. Kind of like when you give pumpkins vegetables. Yeah, yeah. When you chuck pumpkins at hippos that's, you know, that's what they normally root around.

[Brady]

Watermelons love. Crush them.

[John Holmberg]

They love them.

[Toledo]

There it is.

[John Holmberg]

Because that's in their homeland.

[Toledo]

Yeah, that's the bad picture to put on there.

[John Holmberg]

Well, he's got one. He's handed. He's put it right over his wiener. And it looks like he's breaking the tip off. And he's got a good hard grip down at the base. That's a good tug. What he's on up to. You got to fast forward past this ping ponging. And then he gets to the cucumber split. He didn't misses him. He goes to this Italian show all the time. Evidently, this guy's got like a thousand records. That's not Italian. That's Japanese. This is a TV show in Japan.

[Toledo]

I think it's Spain or Spain, wherever.

[John Holmberg]

The hell it is. When will the aliens come? This is. We're out of ideas.

[Toledo]

Losing pace.

[John Holmberg]

Well, he got 67 and then two of them were incomplete. That's the rest of the video where they go back and they judge. And the Guinness guy's like, these two are still combined by a fiber. 65. But the record was 50. He clobbered it.

[Toledo]

Brady's right. You know, Some. Some zoo is lucky. Zoo is standing by, ready to receive a boatload of half.

[John Holmberg]

And meanwhile, unlucky people who are hungry had to watch that and go, you're giving it to the hippos. Do they even eat cucumbers?

[Brady]

Sure. Yeah, that's where it's going. And it goes right to a couple of restaurants.

[John Holmberg]

And the guy goes, I eat cucumbers. Yeah, go get a job. I just think it's hilarious that we try to be empathetic towards starving nations and then occasionally we do stuff like this. Let's do occasionally.

[Toledo]

We do this all the time.

[John Holmberg]

But when he busts him, he just shucks them on the ground. Yeah. Useless, Useless, useless, useless. I would have. I would have eaten that. Yeah, well, it's still laying on the ground if you want it. Deadbeat. Anyway, very carefully done. Rolling ankle on the cucumbers. He's throwing all over the place. Yeah, it's just. It's callous human nature. It's just not good. Cucumbers are delicious, but Brady's right. Just cut the tip off and pickle it. For zoo creatures, that's better than.

[Toledo]

Might be the dirtiest thing you ever said on this show.

[John Holmberg]

There's still nothing better than Brady chucking a pumpkin at a hippopotamus. The hippos look at him like, whatever. What is it? It's a pumpkin, you know, Native to your region. Yeah, we have tons of these down in Brazil, which is pumpkin. Lousy with pumpkins in the Amazon.

[Brady]

They can't wait till the fall. I mean, they're big into the pumpkin.

[John Holmberg]

They love Halloween. It's tough a lot of the times. I understand in Sao Paulo that you can't keep a pumpkin on your. On your porch because hippos will come. They just can't. They smell them out like truffle Colombia.

[Brady]

Now you got a population of 3, 000 hippos or something.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, because of Pablo. Pablo Escobar had the hippos up. And God forbid he finds the pumpkin patch in October. Hippos just wandering rogue all over, eating. Eating pumpkins. That's the. My favorite part of the zoo is watching you do that. And everybody's kind of like, is that. Is that okay? What are they gonna do about it?

[Brady]

Loaded with vitamins.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, sure. That's what we tell ourselves because that's why, you know, it's great for your complexity, too.

[Brady]

Skin.

[John Holmberg]

Complexion. Complexion. Complexity would make it. That's different completely. It probably does make them bipolar, though. What do you got on the. But we don't even need a big board of musical treats, just a sponsor. Today's tribute to our friend is brought to you by our friends at Action Ride Show Shop.

This is for Kurt Festly, the glorious patriarch of the Vestley house. It's called My Way by Frank Sinatra and I think they'll both love this one. Yep, Frank is getting on the wake up song for you, Brett. Nice job, kid. Hey, it's not weird. It's pretty cool actually. No membership fee. I have heard enough of this. It's John Holbert here.

[Toledo]

Grill for the best breakfast in Phoenix.

[John Holmberg]

At 56th street and Thomas Road. Holmberg's morning sickness. You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not evil. He's just a bit rude.

[Brady]

98.

[John Holmberg]

So many of you saying kind things about Brett's dad. We appreciate that. Can't. Can't pass on the appreciation myself. But you can email brett be [e-mail] Be nice. Also want to say on Veterans Day this guy sent me a picture of a strapping young lad named Joseph Adams. And he's in his military gear and then he's in the cocktail cockpit of an F6F Hellcat. Before Hellcats were cars. So say, John, this is my dad, a fighter pilot in the Pacific during World War II. Flew an F6F Hellcat off the USS. That's Independence. I had an Esther Extra S. Yes. SSS USS Independence. He passed away in 2016. I miss him every day. Joseph B. Adams. Give him a little shout out there. Son is John Adams, former President of the United States. Lot of you guys firing that stuff over to me. And that's nice. And then I got another one, a really nice one from Eric. Says, what's his. Brett's email. I want to send my condolences. My brothers and I are actually going to see our pop today at Veterans Day at the Big Summer Cemetery. Going to be five years in February. Some days are great, some suck. He wanted the phrase where is it? Oh, yeah, there it is that on his headstone. But the VA said no, you can't have f that on a guy's headstone. Headstone. Eric Bergman. I wish, I wish, Eric, that you could have had that. That makes it interesting. I walked by a headstone years ago that said terrible father. Just kidding. And that was. And I laughed for 10 minutes. I'm like that. It's an eye catcher. I wouldn't. I don't visit graves. But for some reason, I felt compelled years ago to go walk by my friend Kevin's grave. As I left, I noticed that a co worker of ours was buried fairly close to him. I went. Her name was Lisa. And I walked by and I called you and I'm like, hey, is she. Did we lose? Did she die?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And you're like, yeah, a little while ago. Well, I'm standing on her. Had no idea.

[Brady]

Get off.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, get off. I'm like, I couldn't help it. She's. I didn't expect her here within a few feet. Being surprised at a cemetery is never good. Never. It's a terrible feeling. That is so supposed to always remain somber. The. Very rarely. You're supposed to look at a piece of cement and go, hey, what are you doing here? And that's exactly what I did to Lisa. I had no idea she was gone. That's how I learned. That's how I. The news was broken to me through a headstone. That's. That's rough. Anyway, at 8 o', clock, the code word for the ticket in the air promotion is break, and you got five minutes to think about that while Brady gets the news prepared. Break is the 8 o' clock word. I'll give it to you again after 8 o' clock as well. But B R E A K as we attempt every hour on the hour to buy more love from you, which means more ratings, let me tell you this, you've done a great job with this promotion. This is outstanding. It is a. I've gotten kind of side eyed by every manager here when I say this. It is an uncreative, colorless promotion, but it does work, especially when the Bobs are like, what are we doing with the app? Is anybody. And you got to do stuff with the app just to appease. This thing's outstanding for that kind of stuff. Now every station in the Hubbard family is doing it, which is why I say it's uncreative and colorless. But it does work. So sometimes vanilla ice cream is good ice cream. You know, the Big Mac sells for a reason. It's like the most popular thing. And that's fine. But you guys have blown up the numbers. And I don't know if you're taking my advice and telling friends who aren't even interested in KUP or anything else, just download the app. But the Bobs are thrilled and they are jerking off all over themselves because this is kind of their IDE idea. And the reason you know it's their idea is because, like I said, it's unimaginative and colorless. So, you know, it comes from radio executives and that's why. But they are. And again, gotta tip my cap. When you gotta tip your cap, it works. This thing works. Handing out some cash, making the app numbers go through the moon.

[Brady]

And it's good. They don't see color. John. I was.

[John Holmberg]

They don't. They do not see color because none of their ideas has any. It's all gray, rainy day ideas. What if we had every station in our cluster do the same thing? Hey, that's entertainment. You guys get it. But I will say it works. I never claimed it wouldn't. I just said it's unimaginable. However, it's easy also. And that makes it so. I can explain to you guys that we're not trying to pull the wool over your eyes. We're completely doing this to get the Bob's up our ass, to get our app numbers through the roof and kind of buy some ratings here in a weird way. And it works. It's awesome for that. I just wish they could be More creative when they force things down our throats. At 7:56, the 8 o' clock word is break. And now we give you all the news that only Brady knows. We call this the Brady Report. And that is brought to you by our friends over at All Pro Shade. All Pro Shades got a cool deal going on right now. Brady. You said it. You get an awning. Motorized awning. Motorized blinds. Right. The guard, what do they call those things? The drop down screens. The screens. The drop down screens. Anything motorized. Right. So you're going to get a free heater with that. They're just going to throw a heater in the mix, which is a great deal.

[Brady]

I just bought one. A new one on Sunday.

[John Holmberg]

A new heater. A heater. Yeah.

[Brady]

Yeah. Cuz I. You get like four years out of them.

[John Holmberg]

Maybe you're burning them up if you're outside a lot.

[Brady]

And it's amazing how much it holds.

[John Holmberg]

The electric one out.

[Brady]

No, it's a patio propane.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, nice.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Is that what they're giving away? Oh, that's right. I got one of those too. And they are ridiculous. Ridiculous. I don't have it under an awning. But if you did have any cover, it would pump out some heat. But they're giving you one of those deals and that's pretty awesome. So if you get a motorized shade right now at all from All Pro Shade, they're going to toss that in there because it is winter time and all you're trying to do is block a little sunlight in your eyes while you sit in this glorious weather that we currently are experiencing. It's perfect outside. It's absolutely perfect days. No reason to go squinting around or shading your eyes. You got All Pro Shade in your corner. You can take care of that. Allprochade.com that's where you go. Brady reported.

[Brady]

Good Tuesday morning Phoenix. Hello world.

[John Holmberg]

Hi.

[Brady]

Happy Veterans Day.

[John Holmberg]

Absolutely.

[Brady]

Couple of basis fun facts. The music video that's been played the most on mtv.

[Toledo]

Video killed the radio.

[John Holmberg]

No, that's way too. That was the very first one. The most. Give me an era.

[Brady]

Would it be 89?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's just a year. Just handing out a year. Okay, 89.

[Brady]

Former member of Genesis.

[Toledo]

Oh, Phil Collins in the air tonight.

[John Holmberg]

Or was it Peter Gabriel? I was gonna say Sledgehammer. That was like 85, 86, but how about that? That's crazy. Yeah, Sledgehammer was on constantly and was just groundbreaking for its time for some reason.

[Brady]

Oh, you know, most of his videos are pretty creative.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that was the stop animation Yeah, I was going to actually say Sledgehammer, but I thought maybe something in the 90s, like a.

[Brady]

Something like that one or. Aha. Got a lot of play.

[John Holmberg]

Aha. Was crazy in the 80s, but I. When the 90s rolled around, they played the same seven or eight ones over and over again. And they were big on the NSYNC and Britney Spears and things like that. So. So. But then they also had all those TV shows in the 90s after Beavis and Butthead, and they didn't do that in the 80s, so it was all videos for a while. Okay. Sledgehammer, it is.

[Brady]

The most common name for cities in the United States is Fairview. There are 273 with that name. Midway is second.257.

[John Holmberg]

Midway is the second most named city. Didn't we just do something like this? The other Springfield?

[Brady]

I think that might have been.

[John Holmberg]

Every state's got one. Yeah, but there's multiples then.

[Brady]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

How many Midviews?

[Brady]

Every state last week was but two had a river view.

[John Holmberg]

Right. And that's 48.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

So how many.

[Toledo]

Riverside.

[John Holmberg]

How many Midways? Yeah, Riverside. How many midways are there?

[Brady]

273.

[John Holmberg]

So there's states with like six midways.

[Brady]

Yeah, they would have.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, that's crazy. That doesn't make any sense.

[Brady]

I wonder if they like Fair. Fairview Heights. Fairview.

[John Holmberg]

But I've never heard of somebody saying, oh, I'm from Midway. And they're like, which one?

[Brady]

Midway Heights.

[John Holmberg]

I guess Midway.

[Toledo]

All right, I'll you give Arizona, it says has multiple midways.

[John Holmberg]

Does it?

[Toledo]

Multiple places named Midway, including the populated place in Maricopa county and another in La Paz County.

[John Holmberg]

Cities or just places?

[Toledo]

Cities.

[John Holmberg]

Places.

[Toledo]

Multiple places. Sorry, Places. This says places.

[John Holmberg]

So that's not a city. That could be like a strip mall.

[Brady]

The phrase red tape comes from the early 1500s, when the Holy Roman Empire would use red tape to seal its most important political documents and decisions.

[Toledo]

Well, no wonder it's got multiple. One of them is near Gila Bend. Yeah, like, it's a wide spot in the road.

[John Holmberg]

It's the dumpy part of Gila Bend.

[Toledo]

Not even the dumpy part. It's like a turn off.

[John Holmberg]

That's the Gila Bend. Midway.

[Toledo]

One of those places where, like if. If we were in the mountains where you change, chain up like a road. Like you pull off to the side of the road and then you get back on the road.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, train up for what?

[Toledo]

I said if we were in the mountains. Like.

[John Holmberg]

You'Re putting chains underneath and you're just being a dick to the guy behind you. You're tearing up the roads.

[Brady]

We got a Florida man named Peter Riera. He opened fire on three people outside a bar after closing time last. Last week. Sounds like all of them had been drinking. And an argument broke out outside of the bar at the end of the night because Peter raises chickens. And the group apparently was arguing about how many eggs chickens can lay in.

[John Holmberg]

A lifetime at once.

[Toledo]

As you do.

[John Holmberg]

I got an easy answer for that.

[Brady]

Peter freaked out one because he raised chickens.

[John Holmberg]

It can only lay one at that time. Yeah. Or yeah, if you want to just end the argument, just go, guys, one.

[Brady]

Oh, he ended the argument.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he did.

[Brady]

Fired a couple of times. Three victims ran off. No one was shot. One of the victims ran into the road to get away.

[John Holmberg]

But did he cross the road in this chicken argument? How ironic.

[Brady]

And he made it.

[Toledo]

Come on.

[Brady]

Come on.

[John Holmberg]

Why did that man cross the road? The chicken argument got out of hand. That's why was gunplay during the chicken argument. How many eggs can they lay? You better have an answer for this. God damn it.

[Brady]

No answer.

[John Holmberg]

Why would you tell the story? I got to Google.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And I don't know in the context for the.

[John Holmberg]

In the life, we just find out. That's what. That's how those stories work. You go, bam, bam, bam. In one sitting. I think they lay one leg or one egg at a time.

[Toledo]

Time.

[John Holmberg]

So it would probably be. Well, I mean, that's the thing. How many can they lay? One. But they might get four or five out in a bundle in a litter. What do they call that when a chicken legs A bunch of eggs?

[Toledo]

Not a litter.

[John Holmberg]

A litter of eggs.

[Toledo]

I think a chicken can lay, on average, one egg per day. You were right.

[John Holmberg]

Bingo.

[Toledo]

As it takes about 24 to 26 hours for a hen to form an egg and then delay it. Why it's there for a hen to lay more than one egg in a single day. Some factors like age, breed, diet, environment can affect this rate.

[John Holmberg]

Does it have anything to do with the chicken's size? It just comes tumbling out.

[Brady]

And then how long do they have them laying one egg a day on those farms? Do they experience prolapsing or anything?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I think that they're like. What he's saying is, eventually that's putting.

[Brady]

Out that many eggs.

[John Holmberg]

Chicken vagina, like Brady's saying, is very much like a change purse. Eventually the elastic's gonna wear. It's like an old sock.

[Toledo]

Stands to reason. I got to say it does.

[John Holmberg]

If you push a Bunch of eggs out of my anus. It's going to get easier and easier every day.

[Toledo]

And we see those videos. Yep.

[Brady]

In the wild, they wouldn't lay as many eggs or life is not that long. There'd be more of a, you know, predator.

[John Holmberg]

Speaking of eggs, there's predatory as many.

[Toledo]

Eggs as they could until they were eaten.

[Brady]

Yeah, they have more predators.

[John Holmberg]

So there's some commercial farms.

[Brady]

Prolong it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, there's some commercial that's running here that says call us now and win. Like 12 trucks trips. If you can just name a mammal that lays eggs that isn't a bird or an animal that lays eggs that isn't a bird. And I just called and I said, platypus. And she goes, you've won a four day trip to Cancun and another few days over here in this. And I'm like, this is pretty great. But we had. I did it during the day on the way. No, it was our commercial. So I checked one, two trips. I don't know what they make you do. I had to start going through a lot of questions, so I hung up on her. Oh, and they've been calling me a lot, but you heard it. Yeah, she just kept throwing trips at me for saying platypus tight on time. Brady heard me go, platypus. And then she goes, you've just won a trip to Cancun. And I'm like, it shouldn't be this easy, but here we go. And because you're an exclusive listener to the radio station you heard this on, I'm like, oh, you're doing this in a lot of places. Yeah. But I'm telling you, I don't know what the rest of it is, but if that commercial runs again today, by all means call it. They just hand you truck trips. You got to figure out airfare. But two trips.

[Toledo]

While there is no single answer for the number of eggs a chicken can lay in a lifetime, as it depends heavily on breed, diet and care, it is likely in the hundreds. A good rule of thumb is that a hen will lay about 600 eggs in her lifetime, with production peaking in the first year or two and declining each year after. For example, commercial hens may lay at a rate of 250 to 300 eggs per year and are often retired from laying after two years.

[John Holmberg]

So just like a heat human woman, they become useless as they age.

[Toledo]

You're retired.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. They get less and less useful for eggs as they age.

[Toledo]

Brady's right. While backyard hens, if you like to care for Them in your backyard with good care may lay consistently for three to four years or longer living up to ten years.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady]

Wonder what a ten year egg tastes like.

[John Holmberg]

You're the only one wanting wondering that I'm isolating that.

[Toledo]

There was no interruption on that.

[John Holmberg]

No, it's the first thing you thought. I want to eat that old lady's eggs like scotch. I got a chicken in my room. I want to eat that chicken's eggs. In the rap community, a chicken is a woman a chicken parm or a chicken. Thanks to Dave, you just said something gross. I want to eat that 10 year old chicken. A lot of a lot of urban people are like that dude like babies dude. This dude like kids.

[Toledo]

I ate ribs with that dude.

[John Holmberg]

That dude not had ribs. He them 10 year old eggs. It's not a 10 year old egg. Right. It's a 10 year old chicken laying produced by weight. No, no.

[Brady]

One of the quality of the egg at 10 years old.

[John Holmberg]

Sure that the egg that detect it's like a. I bet you it's our word. Just like when a woman has a baby in her 50s it comes up probably a chicken who's 10 gives birth to a 33 yolked egg. It's like square or something screwed up. It's John Holberg here from the morning sickness and it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of My Home Group and Doug Hopkins dot com.

[Toledo]

Gemini asked, is an egg from a 10 year old hen still good?

[John Holmberg]

No.

[Toledo]

Yes. An egg from a 10 year old hen is still good, but it depends on how you determine quote unquote good, it's edible and the freshness of the specific egg. While a 10 year old hen will lay far fewer eggs than a younger one, the eggs she does lay are still edible, though they may have thinner shells and other characteristics. Gray yolks suitable for hatching. Gray yolk.

[John Holmberg]

Gray yolks. A good band name, especially if it's a girl band and they're all in their late Fl. 40s. We are. Gray yolk.

[Brady]

Honda has issued a recall of about 406,000 Civic cars from 2016 through 2021 models. The model years. The problem is the rim lug nuts are faulty. So you might lose a wheel.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you don't want to do that.

[Brady]

And so they're recalling them and they haven't had any accidents. No one died from.

[John Holmberg]

All of the Lug nuts are bad.

[Brady]

One main lug nut that loosens up causes the wheel to potentially fall wobbly. You should notice it's 2016 through 2021. Just contact your Honda dealership and they'll.

[John Holmberg]

Take 2016 to 2021. So for the last 10 years, basically there's been people tooling around with like a lug nut that's about ready to.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

Saw a wheel on the side of the road the other day.

[John Holmberg]

Still don't know how it happened.

[Toledo]

Yeah. Made me wonder.

[John Holmberg]

Socks, shoes and wheels. I don't get it. How does. How do you keep going? Why is there no car attached to that vision? If I see a sock in the road, I have to. I have so many questions. How did that happen?

[Toledo]

The one shoe?

[John Holmberg]

One shoe is. Yeah. How did that happen? I want to explain it, but we've.

[Toledo]

Become just so accustomed to seeing mattresses. But everything else is mattress makes sense to me.

[Brady]

Nice.

[Toledo]

It'll fly off because you have to. The wind will take it.

[John Holmberg]

You tie it to the top of a car.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[Brady]

You could have one of your bins maybe moving and you got shoes in and it kind of opens up and one drops out.

[John Holmberg]

Sure. But that happens too often. You see a lot of, like, there's not a lot of shoe bins floating around where singular shoes just shoot out of them.

[Brady]

Or you just, you know, it's an Italian deal where they're Getting rid of the shoes one at a time further down the road they have to take you.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

They ask you to take your shoes off before. Before they.

[John Holmberg]

The Japanese do that and the Italians. They do, yeah. I've been to an Italian house movies because it.

[Brady]

It's a humiliation to die your shoes off.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, before they kill you. Oh, I thought you said when you went into their homes.

[Brady]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that's different. The Japanese make you take your shoes off before you go inside because you're filthy.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I've never seen they take your shoes off.

[Brady]

A random poll online asked people, can you swallow a pill dry with nothing to wash it down?

[John Holmberg]

I always do.

[Brady]

Two thousand people weighed in on it. Five percent said, yes, I prefer it that way.

[John Holmberg]

That's what I do.

[Toledo]

Capsules you can.

[Brady]

Which they put in practice. These psychos. 27% said, yeah, I can. No problem. 40% said, sure, if I absolutely have to to 72. That makes it 72% overall said, yeah, I could probably do it. 13% no, I physically can't do it. Another 13% said, I psychologically can't do it.

[Toledo]

Norman did it. Nitroglycerin. Put it under your tongue.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, that dissolves. That was in Golden Pond reference. Solid on Golden Pond Reference.

[Brady]

I wasn't sure at first and then.

[John Holmberg]

I realized, yeah, it's just they're tiny. You swallow much?

[Brady]

Norman, he was talking about, oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You swallow much bigger chunks of food than you do a pill.

[Toledo]

But usually there's some saliva mixed in with.

[John Holmberg]

You got saliva in your mouth. If you don't. If you're taking pills to not to have saliva again, then, yeah, you're probably gonna need some water. You're probably also dead.

[Brady]

The size of the pill too. Yeah, I can drop gels are a lot easier than the doesn't powder ones.

[John Holmberg]

Any pill I've ever had in my mouth is bigger than a piece of food I swallowed.

[Brady]

Yeah, but food sometimes goes down easier than the throat.

[John Holmberg]

I think it's. I think it's all your.

[Brady]

It's mind over.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I think a lot of it's just like swallow it.

[Brady]

A writer from the BBC did a big article on different foods and how they affect your bo. Basically said a little bit. A little bit of meat in your diet and a lot of fruits and veggies can help you smell better. But not all fruits and veggies help. For example, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts are all great for you.

[Toledo]

Makes your penis smell great. Right. And your body and your bo stink yeah.

[Brady]

But the surprising one that does help for men, especially in the army.

[John Holmberg]

Pits.

[Brady]

Garlic. Studies have shown that eating lots of garlic can make men's armpits smell more attractive to women.

[John Holmberg]

More attractive?

[Brady]

Yeah. They had dozens of women rate the smell of different men's pits. And the ones who had a ton of garlic in their diet smelled the sexiest.

[John Holmberg]

Interesting.

[Brady]

The lead researcher isn't sure why overloading on garlic makes your smell smell sexy. Their best guess is women might be picking up on the antioxidants and other things that make healthier overall.

[John Holmberg]

I think it's a trick against guys that can't get laid to make all of normal guys eat garlic and wash away the women.

[Brady]

And if you hate garlic, they found that garlic supplements also did the trick.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. I was blessed with Alvar Homberg's ability to stink. Sweat. Make it sweet. I don't have his. My grandpa sweat.

[Toledo]

Is that confirmed or is that you just.

[John Holmberg]

No, my. I. I test it. My grandpa's sweat was absolutely candy. He would work all day in that farm and come back and smell good. It was a nice odor. And luckily. And there are times when I bo up and it's gross, but a lot of times when I just got a nice sweat going. I have the Alvar Holmberg curse of kind of a sweet smelling sweat. It's nice. I'll rub it on you next time.

[Brady]

From taking out all of the type of hay, like alfalfa hay or something. Working on the land.

[John Holmberg]

I don't think so. He wasn't a land farmer so much as he was like more livestock. Yeah. Did a lot of milking and beat up a lot of. Always rubber banding up some nut sacks. Brady's referring to the time my grandfather decided to do castration of his sheep herd himself. And he got that rubber band thing and he put it across their dicks too.

[Brady]

This was later. Later in life.

[John Holmberg]

No. He only lived to be 76. This was. No, look.

[Brady]

That's a pretty good run.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Okay. But he was last seven or eight years. He didn't have any sheep. This was before I was alive.

[Brady]

Okay. I thought it was like at the tail end.

[John Holmberg]

Now it was the Homeberg horror farm. A lot of things happened on that thing that weren't good. And that was one of them. He sheeped up. Seven or eight of them got their testicles and his. Their penises in that rubber band. And four or five days later he couldn't figure out how come all the sheep were sick. And then the next day they were all laying out Their dead. Like some sort of cult ritual. And what did he do? He went out and grabbed his 8 millimeter camera and sends it to us. Merry Christmas. This happened the birth of my sister's. We had a horse named Manada. And April Star, we had already named her. She was ready to come out and my grandpa saw that Monada was about to give birth and gets that 8 millimeter camera out there and starts to film and the stillborn colt and just Christmas Day. And then at the end it cuts to he and my grandma waving in front of the house with a sign that said Merry Christmas. Because there was no sound on those cameras. They just held up a sign said Merry Christmas. The first eight or nine minutes of that video is a dead horse birth. They were farm people. See they didn't have normalcy. My dad back. Oh my dad sent a video for Christmas. Let's they hook up that giant stupid product projector. There's grandpa just like eh. Horses giving birth. Eight minutes of just two. Two kids losing their lives. Like this is the saddest thing I've ever blood after birth. He filmed the whole thing. Then Alvar and Izzy on the porch. Merry Christmas. Is it dead? Huh?

[Brady]

Oh, he sent the head to you on a stick for a riding horse.

[John Holmberg]

We already knew it was dead. I mean the video didn't get there for like a month. But we knew it was dead. But we didn't know we were going to send a video of the birth.

[Brady]

Jello is celebrating its 125th anniversary with three new limited edition Thanksgiving molds. They're calling them no thanks molds.

[John Holmberg]

Oreo liver.

[Brady]

Shaped like three of the most divisive Thanksgiving foods.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady]

Brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce.

[Toledo]

What is it shaped like a pie?

[Brady]

Isn't the molds it looks like a bowl of brussels sprouts. Kind of. It's green.

[John Holmberg]

It's just green little jellies.

[Brady]

Yeah. And the there's a picture of them but you can buy them the molds for five bucks.

It is the strangest thing you've ever seen. At least if you're me, I guess. It's my doppelganger and he served. And it would be like if I served in the Marines. I sent it to my dad and he didn't know. He thought I. It was me. Poor bastard. Yeah. The word is break. That is today's word for the glorious promotion. So get on that. You have any videos?

All right. Two bros. Yeah, a couple of. Couple of juiced up Italian bros. Yeah, but look like they're ready to go. Oh, he's got a karate stance. There's going to be a kick coming. He wants a front kick. Oh, a haymaker with the right hand goes over the head of the ducking fighter. And he missed.

[Brady]

And now his gotta come back with another haymaker.

[John Holmberg]

He's gonna throw another two.

[Brady]

The other guy twists him around and look at him.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. Two haymakers at the same time. One landed, one didn't, and he closed the door.

[Brady]

Twisted around after he hit.

[John Holmberg]

By the way, opposite way. Two terrible fighters.

[Brady]

I wasn't sure. And then it almost looks. AI well, watch the head.

[John Holmberg]

AI would fight better than the head.

[Brady]

The punch takes that way and then it swings.

[John Holmberg]

See, this is Why I always say go to tactical black and learn how to punch. These two badasses have no idea how to punch a real fighter, a real guy. Unfortunately. And I'm not saying this because of being a bad. It's not that. But anyone with fight training, these dudes get killed dicking around. So if you're fighting a guy thinking he. You've got skills and you're throwing punches like that, somebody's going to kill. Kill you. It almost happened.

[Brady]

You know, I'm gonna have to say he warmed up a little bit because he's very limber.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, because he's. He's not feeling anything. His body is loose.

[Brady]

I've never seen this trick play before in football.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Toledo]

He'S gonna have to res.

[John Holmberg]

Wait a second. So.

[Brady]

So they're. They're punting the ball.

[John Holmberg]

It's a punt.

[Brady]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

All right. Hey, look at this crazy play. Here's the punt. Underhand throws it forward. I didn't think you were allowed to do that for a touchdown. Forward lateral. That is wild. I think you're allowed to underhand pitch a ball.

[Toledo]

Why not? I do it all the time.

[John Holmberg]

It's a forward lateral. You can do it as long as your hands go up or if it's sidearm, your hand can't be under the ball.

[Toledo]

I don't know if that's.

[Brady]

That's.

[John Holmberg]

It used to be a forward lateral.

[Brady]

Well, it's a. No matter how you're passing the ball, it's a forward pass, which is a lot.

[John Holmberg]

But a lateral and a pass are two.

[Toledo]

Allen do that all the time.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but do they do hand under pitches forward? I know you can do it from your chest like a shovel path. I don't know about the reason why. The reason why a shovel pass has to be done a certain way is because your hand can't go under. It's forward lateral. You can hand it off in front of you. You can't underhand pitch it forward any which way.

[Brady]

Just.

[John Holmberg]

It's not as long as your arms outside. Could be like a sidearm under. But if you do a pitch forward, it used to be. I don't know, they changed the rule. It used to be forward lateral. You weren't allowed to do that. So I. Quarterbacks don't.

[Toledo]

Yes, it is legal to underhand pass in football as long as the passer is behind the line of scrimmage and the pass is thrown forward. This type of pass, often called a shovel pass, is treated the same as an overhand pass and is legal whether it is one handed or two handed.

[John Holmberg]

Still with the hand under though. Because that's why a shovel pass has to be done hand above.

[Brady]

Nope.

[Toledo]

Underhand. Either way, legal criteria. The pass is only legal as the passer is behind the line of scrimmage when the ball is released.

[John Holmberg]

Then what's a forward lateral? Because you would only do that behind the line of scrimmage. Forward lateral over the line.

[Brady]

You have to in order to lateral back.

[John Holmberg]

Huh?

[Brady]

You have to be. Yeah, you have to be in back of the person, but you're behind the.

[John Holmberg]

Line of scrimmage ahead of it. I guess you still can't do that behind the line of script.

[Toledo]

Forward lateral is a misnomer because a lateral is defined as a backwards pass. So there is no forward lateral is impossible and illegal in football. I pass that moves forward is a forward pass by definition and is subject to penalties if it is the second forward pass on a play or is thrown beyond the line of Just making.

[John Holmberg]

Sure that no punters could underhand a ball 40 yards.

[Brady]

Pretty cool play.

[John Holmberg]

Could be. It's kind of stupid actually.

[Brady]

Give it one.

[John Holmberg]

Anytime you get a punter throwing the ball, no matter how he throws it. Terrible idea. Your team's in trouble and your coach is out of ideas. There you go. It's break. That is the word for eight o'. Clock. Hop on that. We're going to have our letters to the veterans coming up in just moments from the kids of Zahara School. And see how the teachers are doing now that we've given them a raise. See if these kids letters got any better. It's 98 KPD. There goes your Brady Report.

[John Holmberg]

You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil sitting right here. Come on. No, no he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. It is Veterans Day, everybody. We're having a tough one today. It's. The show has its. Has a little black cloud over it and you guys are being so nice and we appreciate you. This is, you know, this is a 25 year run here on a radio station with a lot of. You've been sticking with us for quite a long time. So it's like you get to know us a little bit. We get to know you through all this stuff. So. So many nice men messages are coming to me. I'm doing my best to get them over to Brett and I will do that. But you guys can text him as well or email him, I guess at B Vesely V E S E L Y at 98 KUPD. Those are just tuning. And Brett lost his dad last night, so we're all kind of today and just getting through it. But that's what we do. That's what this show is. We go through it too. And we have. Have to, you know, force ourselves forward and then mourn appropriately. But Brett is definitely doing that right now and he. Mathiah has text over a great big message to me about heart. Just thank you. A lot of them coming in. So I'm sorry to hear about Brett's passing. If only his dad could have hung on for two more weeks, Brett could have missed Palladio. That's true. It is a little selfish. That's when we put it in that perspective that Brett's now pretty much right on target to get back in time for Plato. This one says, my condolences to our favorite greasy Wap. It's always a tough thing whenever there's a death in the family. And hearing Frank Sinatra on the radio made me tear up. Also have to wonder your show's influence. How many people took a shower last night in the dark after hearing Brady's report? I tried. I tried it and I have to say I think I may have slept better. I'll keep you posted. You rock, Chancellor. And sorry to all that I didn't hear the keyword today me that he. He tried to use the keyword and it was the wrong one. But it is Veterans Day and we have an annual tradition here on the show that started a few years ago when I guess it was your. Was it Lisa that discovered that the writing in her school was subpar at the very best for the letters that we were asking for letters from the school to put into boxes to send to our troops in Afghanistan from Arizona. Yeah, they were going through.

[Toledo]

They were going through a writing exercise. She might have been teaching fourth grade at the time. She teach fifth grade. Grade now. Talked to a bunch of our other teachers, and they're like, oh, yeah, we used to do that. Or we. We do an exercise where they, you know, practice letter writing. And so that's kind of where it started.

[John Holmberg]

And first or second grade, and a few of them get a little older, and we started to read them as written.

[Toledo]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And.

[Toledo]

And I have some gems today.

[John Holmberg]

And we are about to do all ages for the veterans. Now, this would normally go in a care package we used to put together when we had had a veteran. Most of our Arizona National Garden military personnel were overseas.

[Brady]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

So we would do letters for them from the. Now they just show up, and we read them on the air. Great American music.

[Toledo]

Here's some softballs to start out with. Quick ones.

[John Holmberg]

Letters from the kids. What the hell does that say?

[Toledo]

There you go.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you, hero. Thank you, heroes of the muley tree of those wands. How dad had te The.

[Toledo]

Give it to Brady.

[John Holmberg]

Brady can decipher it.

[Toledo]

That's his writing.

[John Holmberg]

Brady, did you write this?

[Brady]

Con shears.

[John Holmberg]

Con shears. Thank you, heralds. It doesn't say heros, too. I think that's a Greek God, isn't it?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you, heros of the military. Military. That says mil M I L L U T R E E mill tree.

[Toledo]

Well, in his mind, it's mil tre.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, this one is from Abby.

[Toledo]

Thank you, Abby.

[John Holmberg]

Thanks, Abby. This one says, dear veteran. Now, dear veteran's already been written out, but she just traced over it as if those was hers. Then it says, from Mastera. From Abby.

[Toledo]

Read that again.

[John Holmberg]

From Mastera. Ready? Confirm. Correct. Thank you, dear veteran. I thank you. I. Ja. Von Forest. Gonna try this with the spacing because he didn't space a single letter out.

[Toledo]

You gotta run it all together.

[John Holmberg]

Dear veteran, I thank you. I shuff Vaughn for rest. From Vaughn.

[Brady]

Okay, well, I gotta say Abby's letter. Yeah, the military sock monkey sketch.

[John Holmberg]

She drew a cool sock monkey. Yeah, it is nice. Yeah, she does look like a sock monkey. This one says, thank you, hero. And then again, they followed up with thank you, heroes. And if you are saved and you are saving my life, wow. You are saving the city. I love you guys. And then way up top, it says.

[Brady]

Avery on forced solid name.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you, hero. Thank you for helping people. Thank you for saving Poliole. Thank you, Fidden for our Chunchurri churros. There must be Something that they serve for lunch to the kids called Chunchurri. Because that's two.

[Brady]

It sounds delicious.

[John Holmberg]

It does. Freddy's enjoying the Chunchurri, by the way. I like this one. This one's like an attack. This is a girl named Scarlett. But I'm gonna read it like Scarlett's dad wrote it. Hey, thank you, hero. Thank you for protecting us from the guys. Thank you for freedom.

[Toledo]

When I first read that, I thought she said gays.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you for protecting us from the guys. You know who I'm talking about? You know what I'm saying?

[Toledo]

You know, the ones.

[John Holmberg]

Ones with the towels and the. They're on their heads and the beekeeper outfits. You know what I'm saying?

[Toledo]

Let's be honest.

[John Holmberg]

Let's be honest. I tell my daughter, I say, what? Hey. She says, dad, what do I write to the veterans? I mean, thanks for protection. And she says, from who? And I'm like, you know, the guys. The guys, the guys. You know, the overseas guys. They also.

[Brady]

Another observation on chunchery. The first two military figures. Beautiful. Running out of time.

[John Holmberg]

First two, we stayed in the lines. The other one's just like scratching a lottery ticket. Just scribble.

[Toledo]

All right, here's a couple more. A little bit maybe more complex.

[John Holmberg]

I've still got a whole bunch of these still. I ain't done yet.

[Toledo]

All right.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you, hero. November 2025. Dear veteran, I am so sorry that you don't get holidays. Grace. I will get you a present, I promise. I hope you win from Grace. And I'm not really up on current events, Grayson, but I think that's the.

[Brady]

First one wishing the winning. Of all the years I don't remember.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, nobody's ever gone, hey, I'm not rooting for the other side. I'm pretty unified so far. But he wanted to.

[Toledo]

Also, there's a theme of. They don't think they get Christmas or holiday.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they don't get holidays because. Tell them. Because the teachers have to send that message. And kids are very literal.

[Toledo]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Like, look, these guys aren't going to be around for the Hollows. Jeez, that's rough because it's too. It's too early to tell them that somebody doesn't exist. So you're like, yeah, Then Santa doesn't visit them because they're overseas. Well, you know, unlike these other mooks, I hope you guys win. Thank you, hero. Dear veteran, be safe. I am sorry. Have to work on Thanksgiving and crying Christmas. I love you. Your friend Jake. That one's not so Bad Jake. Dear veteran, I hope you come back at Christmas because it's my favorite holiday. I also hope you stay safe. Your friend, Paisley. That's a nice one, Paisley.

[Brady]

Just win.

[John Holmberg]

Just. Just win. Rocky, that was a nice one. I like. I hope you guys win. Has anybody else thought of that? Like these guys? You're the first. I don't think we're really in a war, Grayson. What if we are and we don't know? Let's just hope they win. Dear veteran, thank you for keeping us safe. You are so cool. You are the best. Your friend, Kana. Nice job, Kana. This one says thank you hero. Thank you hero. The page starts with thank you hero. It's printed and then they write it again.

[Toledo]

Well, it's a suggestion, John.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it's already but they don't see that.

[Toledo]

They want to emphasize it.

[John Holmberg]

They don't see the redundancy. Can we teach them?

[Brady]

Someone said harrow after harrows so maybe.

[John Holmberg]

That was the who's harrows. Don't you read?

[Brady]

Thank Heroes are men, heroes are women.

[John Holmberg]

No. Nice try, Brady. Shouldn't be teaching these kids any lesson. Thank you harrow for raving us at don't let me go over our heads. I'll tell you are heroes.

[Brady]

Next time.

[Toledo]

Realize this one and then think twice about maybe paying teachers a little bit more or cutting them after reading this letter.

[John Holmberg]

There is an O in country kids. Yeah.

[Toledo]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

There's another one on the. The very back one. They spelled America wrong. Amaraka. They don't even. What a bunch of mom dummies over there.

[Brady]

Yeah, it's clean.

There's a dirty word in the middle of military. From Mesa, Arizona. All right, this is the last one. Okay. Thank you for your service. Veteran protecting our country from any threats, saving people and just getting there when we need it. Happy Veterans Day, Rhett. Fifth grade students at Harris Elementary. One of the sharpest in my class.

[Toledo]

Just a little aside from Rhett.

[John Holmberg]

Sorry I have bad handwriting. That is all. Oh, it's the smartest. The S has A. The M has a huge line on it.

[Brady]

So.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. Smartest or sharpest? I'm one of the smartest of my class. Thought you should know that. There you go. Thank you to the kids of the Zaharis elementary for firing those over. Let's Toledo march them right over across the street to the National Guard and say do with this as you please, boys and girls. Because it took some time for them to do that and it's very nice. Happy Veterans Day to everyone. Go get your free food and if you see somebody in the gear today and you happen to be at a restaurant or a place, pick up the tab. Oh yeah, it's a nice move. And every single person who's ever served or is currently serving deserves it. There's a lot on their plate. They wake up every morning wondering who. Boy, they watch the news different than us. We complain. They do. That's exactly how it goes. So thank you. Happy Veterans Day everybody. And thanks to Lisa and the gang over there Zahara's for getting those kids to write that. It's 98kp. We'll post a couple of them.

[Toledo]

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

[John Holmberg]

No membership fees. I have heard enough of this morning sickness. You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil sitting right here. Come on. No no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude and just about to the hot releases. We're getting those together. Brett's not here so I'm double duty and on this thing and I have no idea where he gets his stuff. So this is hard. I'm trying very hard to do something and I don't know what I'm doing but I'll work harder. In the meantime I can tell you that I'll also be doing something. I have no idea what I'm doing. Come. Was that Thursday night? Yeah. I'll be at William Shatner is going to be telling his important that you.

[Toledo]

Know the night you're supposed to be.

[John Holmberg]

I'll just text him with a lady and I get very confused. It's this week Thursday night I'll be down at the. It's the Orpheum. Yeah, I Should probably know that too. It's the Orpheum Thursday night.

[Toledo]

Me, William Shatner tour.com if you want tickets.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. WilliamShatner tour.com. you go there and you find out what this is all about. You can watch Wrath of Khan for two hours. I got a few people emailing me going, I'm going to that. And then after the movie's over, legendary actor and performer William Shatner will climb on stage one with me and I will host a Q and A with the great Captain Kirk, Denny Crane. I mean years, I was 60 plus years in the. Bit more than that in the business of, of, of entertainment.

[Toledo]

Is there any room to talk about Denny Crane in this?

[John Holmberg]

Some. We did it last time but I mean he's got so many stories and he'll come out and do these now Frank Caliendo is also going to join me. So there may be some reenactments of the stories as Frank does a great William Shatner and then I can do the other people and we can go vice versa. That so just gonna a free for all with Mr. Shatner and his stories are unbelievably good. He's 94, so if you want tickets, it's William. What is it called? William Shatner Tour.

[Toledo]

William Shatner Tour.com.

[John Holmberg]

Just go there and grab tickets. There aren't many left. They're on the corners and they're good. The Orpheum Theater is also something to go see sometime in your life. It's, it's beautiful downtown. So we will see you there Thursday night as Mr. Shatner plops on stage. All I have is the best seat in the house. I will, I will just be like you guys, only from a different angle. It's so cool to be at this thing and he's so iconic. It's very strange to be there with him and have to have phone calls with Bill. Over the last couple weeks has been mind blowing. Sitting at my house and having Bill Shatner on the phone is very odd. But we'll, we'll, we'll see you guys Thursday. Hop on that thing. It's going to be fun. Trust me, last time it was great. Even if you don't like the movie, you can watch the movie comes out and kind of makes fun of it. Anyway, we got the hot releases coming up in just moments. It's 98. Holmberg's Morning Sickness. Pretty great moment with Doug Hopkins last night at the Sun's game.

[Toledo]

Your dad.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. So the story's kind of gotten around the room that he, that, that Guy thought he was my dad in the commercial. And one of the girls there, Kinsey, comes up and she goes, hey, I saw you on TV on. On television on your. On Sunday. I'm like, yeah. She goes, I was going to try to snap him picture. And I'm like, well, that was why. And then she goes, well, I just wanted to see. Is that your father? Like, yes, it is my dad, Kinsey. That's Doug. He'll be here in a second. So Doug showed up, and then he was eating these little cherry candies that I had already gotten hold of in the rah rah room's candy room. So I had a handful of them, and he came in and my friend Jordan goes, aw, like father, like son. And Doug goes, that's it. And he left. It's great. I don't want to hear it. I hate you. Such a good great moment that someone thought Doug was my dad in that commercial. And Kenzie delivered beautifully with the. Isn't that your dad? Yes, it is. And here he is. Oh, it was wonderful. Thank you. The gang out there is just having a good time with Doug.

[Brady]

Still live with your dad every now and then.

[John Holmberg]

Well, Doug isn't a member, so he has to go outside and beg to come in. And so, yeah, so he says.

[Toledo]

So he leaves of his own.

[John Holmberg]

I'm here with Holberg, and they're like, let me go see if he'll let you in. And I just. I let him sweat. Like, I don't know if I'm letting Doug in today. Let's. Let's see about all that. And like. All right, go get him. Let's just say, yes, your son will allow you in. And the girl at the front did it. It was great. It's all good. It's fun, though. And I'm going to get him something for. Maybe I might pop by for Thanksgiving, see family and stuff. My dad, Joy.

[Brady]

That'll be a nice spread.

[John Holmberg]

It will be a nice spread. I'm sure of that. You should probably wish that he was your dad, too.

[Toledo]

You can always go home.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you can.

[Brady]

Well, he shares a home with him already. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I got the H and H ranch. When things go south, me and dad, we have our. We have a beer together and talk about life. Me and dad. Pop, pop, Popkins. Oh, it's such a great thing. It's 9:36.

[Toledo]

First up, it's used to be another version of Man Christmas. Today. Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is out.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Toledo]

If you've been watching the ads for. For this, it's a little bit crazy.

[John Holmberg]

That's a video game. Wake up.

[Toledo]

And what if this is what this is now?

[John Holmberg]

What's happening?

[Toledo]

November GTA 6 comes out.

[John Holmberg]

You're right. Is that next?

[Toledo]

Next?

[John Holmberg]

Wait a minute.

[Toledo]

They delayed it. They delayed it.

[John Holmberg]

It was May.

[Toledo]

They delayed it again. November.

[Brady]

I think it's like Chinese democracy.

[John Holmberg]

It is. Axel Rose is in charge of the.

[Brady]

Look at that.

[Toledo]

See that?

[Brady]

That cut.

[John Holmberg]

The whole thing's amazing.

[Brady]

I'm gonna slay this game.

[Toledo]

Yeah, you are. You're gonna get out of the first screen.

[John Holmberg]

Brady's not gonna get the start here. What is AI going to do to video? Because right now what I'm looking at is still digitally produced. This is. Wow. Larry McField. When that GTA 6 comes out, you can just say goodbye to me. Oh, me too. Yeah, all of us. Yeah.

[Brady]

But maybe that's. Are they gonna let you play to.

[John Holmberg]

Keep Larry around longer? That's probably a good idea.

[Toledo]

Are you gonna be able to play GTA 6 for a while on your own without going online? Because if you go online from Jump.

[John Holmberg]

I can't go online. I, I, I.

[Toledo]

They have to let you play for a while to get used to it, right?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I've been.

[Toledo]

I'm too old to go in with all the, with all the youngins.

[Brady]

I'm getting too old for this.

[John Holmberg]

I got called the N word more times than people in the 1800s. I've never experienced any. Anything like that in my life. And I hated being online. And now with the six Seven crew, it's gonna get so annoying.

[Toledo]

Oh, you should. I should Video or videotape or record.

[John Holmberg]

Alex when he goes six sevens.

[Toledo]

No, nothing. Six, seven. But he goes online and plays games with with his boys and they all are ruthless. Yeah, just their chatter is ridiculous.

[John Holmberg]

Just the clips that we're seeing online of GTA 6 are stupid. No, it's insane.

[Brady]

Yeah, the graphics.

[John Holmberg]

We can't talk about that now.

[Brady]

All right.

[John Holmberg]

I'm sorry, cuz. It's a year away. I just got disappointed.

[Toledo]

Next Palladio.

[John Holmberg]

Will. I was already half hard thinking about it and now I just found out I got to wait a whole 12 months for it. It's not right. It's not fair.

[Toledo]

New on Netflix's the Beast in Me this week.

[John Holmberg]

Did you kill her? What?

[Toledo]

Grief stricken and desperate for purpose, Aggie Wigs. Claire Danes becomes estranged while Nile Jarvis Matthew Rice, a man once accused of to murder obsession turns toxic. Danger creeps closer.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he's going to kill her.

[Toledo]

Beast of Me is a dark and twisting new series that asks when you chase a monster, what do you become?

[John Holmberg]

I can offer a new narrative.

[Brady]

I'm going to roll the dice on you.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, so she's trying to kill the murderer. Don't let me.

[Toledo]

I think she's trying to out him Spending all night.

[John Holmberg]

He's the dude who played in the new Perry Mason. He was good.

[Toledo]

And he was in the American.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. I had a of it Few years. All right, that might be. That looks kind of murder thriller. Cool.

[Toledo]

Here we go. We love this one. Landman season two debuts on Sunday night on Paramount.

[John Holmberg]

Plus wife of his.

[Toledo]

It's got Sam Elliott in it.

[Brady]

Dude.

[Toledo]

This season.

[John Holmberg]

The dudes in it or the other? The dudes. Dude.

[Toledo]

Sam Elliott.

[Brady]

Dude juice.

[John Holmberg]

I had to get involved in this thing. It's going to be confusing because we.

[Toledo]

Kind of just in case.

[John Holmberg]

And you really have to know him. I just want everybody to watch the show and just ignore the girls. I couldn't watch the fifth episode. I was done with. Runs the company. She owns it. But I run the company. Oh, the old man who ran the oil company's dead.

[Toledo]

John Ham died.

[John Holmberg]

He did. I didn't watch that.

[Toledo]

Sorry. Spoiler. Spoiler.

[John Holmberg]

No. First. First season spoiler. I didn't know that. How'd he die, Calamity? Oh, he was in the hospital for the first place. I didn't know Demi Moore was his wife.

[Brady]

Yep.

[Toledo]

So she. She takes over the company. The oil company.

[John Holmberg]

Wait, Sam Elliott is his dad?

[Toledo]

No. No.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. It didn't sound like he said, hey, Pop.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I beg you for patience. That's pretty much it. Amen. We always try. We keep our whipping. Why is Sam Elliott in a pirate helmet?

[Brady]

I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

That's just. We can do whatever we want. People are gonna watch that thing because they just like me. I could act with a bunch of children and maybe even People like who don't speak English. You're absolutely right. I could. And I could do that. And then people would sit back and say, I would watch that man read the phone book if he were.

[Brady]

And I would.

[John Holmberg]

I would read it to you for a fee.

[Toledo]

Here's your check, Billy.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, just give me a check. I'll read the phone book to Manhattan. I'll start with A. Aaron and Aardvark. I don't care.

[Toledo]

Appropriately today out on Netflix, this actually debuted last night. Is Marines a documentary?

[John Holmberg]

Tell me what you know about the Marines. He's a little boy. Guns, fighting, shooting, training.

[Toledo]

Let's go now. Getting jacked.

[John Holmberg]

Getting jacked.

[Brady]

Ting hai.

[John Holmberg]

You're probably gonna die in it. Oh, man. All right, I don't want to watch this right now. I watch later. That's a veteran, Stace. What's it called?

[Toledo]

Marines documentary on Netflix. Also on Netflix. Documentary about Ed. A. Eddie Murphy called Being Eddie.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, good morning. My neighbor.

[Brady]

He had that appointment with Destiny.

[John Holmberg]

Chappelle's voice is gone.

[Brady]

The way we view comedy, who took all the money?

[Toledo]

Shrek.

[Brady]

Shrek.

[John Holmberg]

God damn. This your place? Richard Pryor puppet. All right, I'm watching that just for the Richard Pryor puppet.

[Toledo]

Then this week of the live event on Netflix, Jake Paul. Hank Davis did it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, because Tank Davis just got like, he's gonna get arrested for beating up a woman or something.

[Toledo]

Oh, I didn't hear that. This was. This was on my sheet that it's.

[John Holmberg]

Unless they brought it back like they were supposed to move it. I think it got cancelled.

[Toledo]

Oh, all right, well, then never mind on that. Out on prime video is the new movie Play Date, starring Kevin James and the guy who plays Reacher on Prime, Alan Richson.

[John Holmberg]

Spiral. This is going to suck.

[Brady]

Name's Jeff.

[John Holmberg]

Brian. Outstanding.

[Toledo]

Oh, look different already.

[John Holmberg]

CJ's cool, invited me over his house. Can we go over, please? All right. Bu. Hell yeah, dude. Tough kid beating up a big guy. All right, I don't want to watch it. Kevin James is in it. I'm done. By the way, the fight with Tank Davis and Jake Paul was canceled, okay? Because Davis has. He's in trouble for battery and kidnapping.

[Toledo]

Oh, geez.

[Brady]

It wasn't a sparring practice.

[John Holmberg]

Not with a lady.

[Brady]

No. Yeah, okay.

[John Holmberg]

A lady said, this is not sanctioned. And he goes, I. I don't care. And he did it anyway. All right, music real quick, because it's funny, I think. Where's my button? Taylor Swift is robbing her lovers. Very much. All the girls that won't shut up. About her. She's released Life of a Showgirl, which is just astronomically huge. And now it's the acoustic version of Life of a Showgirl. So now she's re. Released the whole thing acoustic. Buy it again. This is the fate of Ophelia, but I think it's the acoustic. Plus plus acoustics. I don't know if they're all like that. That's the regular. That's not the acoustic one. I don't know how to hit the buttons.

[Brady]

Which one's the Travis Kelsey about his junk?

[John Holmberg]

I. I don't remember which one. I don't want to play anything. I changed my mind. And then of course, Leon has. Kings of Leon has actually got a little EP out. That's pretty cool. It's two space off. I think it's called the visualizer, actually.

[Toledo]

I like them.

[John Holmberg]

They're so good. And I don't understand. We've talked about this together. Larry will hate that they don't fit our station somehow. They've got some great stuff, but whenever we test them with an audience, they hate them. It's a KDKB band. They're like, no, it's not. These guys are pure rock. Nothing better than Kings of Leon. If you're on a road trip.

[Brady]

Trip.

[John Holmberg]

There's some good driving music. Yeah, it's. That's a solid one. So if you want to grab that.

[Brady]

Think Dale would even like that one?

[John Holmberg]

Maybe. I don't know how to turn it off, to be honest. My computer's a mess. All right, time out for that. Get rid of this one. Turn that off. Hold on, I'll get there. And the next one is just Vanilla Ice as a soul song. This one I loved. Get that again.

[Brady]

Hang on. Which one? The hit.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's Ice Ice Baby for sure. Oops. I screwed it up. I don't know what I'm doing. Brett's very good at this, by the way. And I'm not. So how you do it? Where is it? Goddammit, I just had it.

[Brady]

You just need to have multiple things.

[John Holmberg]

Playing Connect, Gmail, Create, Yahoo account. I already did that. I want it back there.

[Brady]

Your hot releases.

[John Holmberg]

That is your hottest of hot release. Where did my Vanilla Ice go? Said no one ever. I can't find it now.

[Toledo]

AI Ice Ice baby.

[John Holmberg]

Yes, it's a soul song. But I just had it. Where'd it go? That won't let me click out of this stupid ad.

[Brady]

Maybe Rob blocked. You.

[John Holmberg]

Son of a. Try that again. Email search organizer. It was just in front of me.

[Toledo]

Is this it?

[John Holmberg]

Yep, that's the one. Nice job. All right, let's try that. This I liked a lot. Lot. I just had it in front of me. Where did it go?

[Toledo]

I'm playing it.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. A hold of me tightly Snow like a harpoon daily and nightly Will it.

[Toledo]

Ever stop, yo, I don't know.

[Brady]

Turn off the light and I'll glow.

[John Holmberg]

To the extreme I rock a mic.

[Brady]

Like a bl Light up a stage.

[John Holmberg]

And watch a chomp like a candle Ice, ice, baby for ice cream, baby.

[Toledo]

Vanilla, vanilla.

[John Holmberg]

Come on, we still have to start the My hourong AI I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom Deadly when I play a dope melody Anything less than the best is a felony Love is better leave it, you better g way you better hit bulls.

[Brady]

How the kid don't play if there.

[John Holmberg]

Was a problem, yo, I'll solve it Check out the hook while my DJ revolves.

[Toledo]

Sounds a little bit like Jamie Fox doing Baby Soul.

[John Holmberg]

It sounds a little Jamie Fox. You're right. It's so good. So, yeah, there you go. The ice. Ice is pretty solid. I like that quite a bit. So stupid computer just closed up. I had it right in front of me. I did something bad. Oh, I don't think this works. All right. There you go. Those are hot releases. There's other stuff, too. Katy Perry's got a thing. And a bunch of foreign. Foreign people.

[Toledo]

A bunch of foreign people.

[John Holmberg]

There's a lot of foreign albums. There's a lot of Japanese people singing now. And Koreans.

[Toledo]

What?

[John Holmberg]

K Pop? J Pop?

[Toledo]

K Pop Demon Hunters. Biggest thing on the planet.

[John Holmberg]

I know. I don't get it. I like that Cat's Eye.

[Toledo]

Never heard of that's K Pop, but okay.

[John Holmberg]

It's kind of a Spice Girls if they were Korean and Indian and they got all sorts of stuff going on.

[Toledo]

Guilty pleasure. Liking the Spice Girls.

[John Holmberg]

Gotta like Spice Girls a little bit. The K Pop girl. The Cat's Eye. Give yourself a little look. See there? We got an entertainment drill coming up next. It's 98. Is that weird? It's pretty cool, actually. No membership fee. I have heard enough of this morning sickness. You've been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil sitting right here. Come on.

And I want to email or get my emails straightened out. Best I can. If I missed you and you needed to do a shout out to a family member, I'm sorry, but I did the best I could. My man, Kevin Falcone, he emailed and said, give my brother, Tim Falcone, Air Force, a thank you and a shout out. Tang high on the plex to Tim Falcone. Thank you, thank you. And then Kevin emails in and says, my daughter graduated from boot camp for the United States Marine Corps this weekend. Words cannot express the level of pride we feel. Maybe give a shout out to the graduates of Delta Company in San Diego and selfishly, Platoon 1063. Her name, I believe, is Gabby. So congratulations to Gabby and the cyns for their great amount of pride for their military member. That's awesome. So thank you guys to everybody who's served, serving or anything else.

[Brady]

Sydney Sweeney's boxing biopic Christie got okay reviews. It's currently 66% on Rotten Tomatoes.

[John Holmberg]

It's not bad.

[Brady]

Even though the movie bombed over the weekend. Weekend it bombed hard. It opened up more 2,000 theaters and only made 1.3 million. Oof.

[John Holmberg]

That's a big drop. But again, we talked about it yesterday. That's not really a theater movie in this day and age. That's a movie for home.

[Brady]

Sydney isn't discouraged. In a new Instagram post, she says she's deeply proud of the movie and thinks it helped raise awareness for so many affected by domestic violence. Violence.

[John Holmberg]

She needs to just be proud of the movie and whatever it does after the fact is gravy because it is a great story. Donovan says, I love today. It's like an extra birthday I share with thousands and thousands of brothers and sisters and other people. Happy veterans today to all mine. There you go, Donovan. Nice job.

[Brady]

I think we heard about Miss Piggy getting her own movie. Now Jessica Rabbit is gonna get her own movie. Disney has released Roger Rabbit and two Town. The creator behind it, Gary Wolf, now has the rights to it.

[John Holmberg]

Is the rabbit in it?

[Brady]

You ready for this? He's doing a Jessica Rabbit movie and it's the furthest along and it's live action.

[John Holmberg]

My real people.

[Brady]

So I think, yeah, he's gonna have.

[John Holmberg]

Draw the rabbit in.

[Brady]

I don't know if he's gonna.

[John Holmberg]

Well, the last one was live action because Bob hostage is in it and that's live action. Said real actors amongst the cartoon characters.

[Brady]

I thought it would. It's like, you know when they did Lion King with live action characters are doing Cinderella.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, and they just did a movie. Yeah, but that's kind of what the treat of the whole.

[Brady]

It's basically a 2022 book. Jessica Rabbit Serious business. Sounds like a prequel, but it's focusing on Jessica's pre tune. Pre. Yeah, pre tune life.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Brady]

So as an actual human secret agent.

[John Holmberg]

So live action means there's no cartoons in it.

[Brady]

But I wonder who he's probably casting.

[John Holmberg]

It right now because they had real people in the original Roger Rabbit, which was the amazing thing at the time. And it still holds up pretty good visually. It doesn't look sloppy or fake of it. Sometimes Bob Hoskins is looking at the tennis ball and you can see it. Please, Eddie. My eyes are down here like, all right, Roger. Come on, Roger. When I was a Kid, I had to annoy everybody. The day I saw that movie. I was running around with every impression in it. My mom's like, shut up. I just want a Diet Coke. Follow me, Roger. I know where the Cokes are.

[Brady]

Oscar Isaac was doing an interview because he's in the. His latest role was Victor Frankenstein. Frankenstein and Guillermo del Toro's new Netflix Frankenstein. But they asked him if he's planning on returning to the Star wars franchise, working for Disney. He says, I would look at it, but they need to get away from their fashion fascism.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. That's the thing I always say I go there. But they're so fascist. We have to stop doing that. I saw a funny meme the other day that said it's a children's book and it's a picture of Hitler and he's flying on a horse or something.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And it said everyone you don't like is Hitler for both sides. And it's basically a book for Democrats and Republicans when they get mad to stop calling their opposition Hitler. Goes the same with fascists and communists. Not everybody who's on one side is communist and not on the other side is fascist. It's. If we had a fascist, you'd know. If you had a communist, you'd know. Ask New York. They're about to find out. So that's the difference. Somewhere in between Democrat and Republican is America. Outside of those things are fascist and communist. We would know if that was going on. Stop throwing those words around like. Like they're there because they're not.

[Toledo]

Not.

[Brady]

Gronk is signing a one day contract with New England Patriots and you're gonna have a. It's gonna retire November 12th on the football field. Like you know, it's the one day ceremony thing. Put him in the to shrine him Thriller, the song by Michael Jackson jumped to number 10 on the Hot 100 this week week. Which is now makes Michael Jackson the first artist to have a top 10 hit in six decades.

[John Holmberg]

All six decades. Why is it in the top 10 this week? Oh, because of Halloween. Yeah, I see. That makes sense. Every Halloween.

[Brady]

Tay Tay Swift's Fate of Ophelia. It is still number one on Halloween.

[John Holmberg]

Fate of Ophelia still beat Thriller even on Halloween. That's how powerful powerful the Taylor Swift army is.

[Brady]

We got another tip on music. Joe Exotic the Tiger King claims everybody in in his prison is jamming to the new Hillary Duff's single. I haven't heard it.

[John Holmberg]

Was he in the gayest prison of all time? Like I know prison has some moments but that's it.

[Brady]

Sounds like it.

[John Holmberg]

Shut up, Holmes, or I'll stab you in the face. Hillary Duff is on. I don't think that that's a thing.

[Brady]

I think he's got a pretty nice setup over there in the prison he's in.

[John Holmberg]

Who took my Hillary Duff poster? It's like Shawshank, only there's Hillary Duff in every cell. Hillary.

[Brady]
