Main Theme

This episode is a classic blend of self-deprecating humor and friendly banter, centered around John Holmberg's misadventures in two areas:

1. Acting as his own booking agent for the "Homeburg After Dark" live event
2. Confronting the supposed victory – and subsequent embarrassment – of changing his own windshield wiper blades
   It evolves into a larger comedic reflection about “car guys,” their quirks, and why there's always a busted car in a car guy's driveway or garage.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Agony of Booking Guests (Starts ~01:29)

• John’s New Respect for Booking Agents:
  John shares his struggles with booking comedians for the "Homeburg After Dark" show, describing the process as much more complicated than anticipated due to haggling and ego management.

  • “Maybe they're right. Fire everybody. I'll do it. I've got 16 jobs right now and I'm booking and I'm negotiating prices..." – John (01:34)
  • Describes how every performer wants to know “what are the others making?” even when insisting it's just for fairness.
  • Shares a story about a guest asking for $20,000 for 25 minutes’ work:
    • “American money? What are you, out of your mind?” – John (03:07)
  • Discusses how agent involvement helps keep relationships unstrained; when there's no buffer, negotiations become awkward.

• Jay Pharoah’s Pricier Opportunity:
  Jay Pharoah was set to headline, but got a much bigger payday elsewhere:

  • “They were going to give him like a hundred grand… And I’m like, you want me to match that?” – John (04:06)

• Reflection on Handling Money:
  John admits he’s uncomfortable being “the money guy,” despite liking money:

---

2. Windshield Wiper 'Victory' & the Reality of Car Repairs (Starts ~05:43)

• Flashback to Previous Wiper Fiasco:
  Years ago, John had a surgically repaired arm, and Brady and Brett failed hilariously trying to help him change his Jeep's wipers.

  • “Brady staring at windshield wipers like they just landed from another planet…” – John (06:28)

• John's Determined Solo Attempt:
  Orders wipers for two Wranglers. Euphorically declares independence:

  • “I swore to myself no YouTube videos will be used. I’m going to do it old school…” – John (07:01)
  • Succeeds easily; “Seven seconds, found the little flap, got the wipers off. It’s easy!”
  • Declares himself “a man today. I'm doing manly, handy car stuff.” (08:09)

• Confessions of Not-So-Handy Men:
  Despite this, John admits to being “gayer than gay” when it comes to automotive repairs, barely knowing what a high-lift jack is or where it should go under his Jeep.

  • “When it comes to car stuff, I am gayer than gay. Like, I don't know what anything’s called.” – John (08:10)
  • The group launches into a comedic struggle trying to define where to put a high lift, differences between the body, frame, and safe lifting points. None is entirely sure.

3. The Ultimate Wiper Installation Fail (Starts ~12:26)

• The Unremoved Plastic:
  After feeling proud, John notices the new blades still smear water.

  • “They're squishing water around pretty good, but they're new...” – John (12:41)
  • Amy, a more mechanically-inclined friend, reveals the blue plastic protective covers are still on the blades.
    • “‘You have to take the plastic off.’ And I said, huh.” – John (14:21)
  • John believed the blue plastic was a stylized upgrade. Amy quickly removes it, revealing the real problem.

• Self-Deprecation and Car-Guy Banter:

  • “I’m like, man, I am. Just when I thought I'd solved one minor car issue and figured something out, I still idiot-girled it.” – John (19:57)

• The Emotional Rollercoaster of DIY Repairs:
  John cycles from pride to embarrassment—but leans into the humility.

  • “Don't email me telling me I'm an idiot. I'm telling you I’m an idiot. I get it.” – John (27:21)

---

4. The Car Guy Generalization (Starts ~17:24)

• Auto Shop Intimidation:
  John refuses to let “Autozone Trevor” replace his blades—because of car guy judgment.

  John asserts: “There is never a car guy I've met that's a true car guy that doesn't have a broken car.” (17:54)

  • Details of friends, neighbors, and listeners with inoperable cars on their lawns or garages.
  • Brady & Brett spar about whose family has more non-running cars at any given time.
    • “You can't live your lives without a broken car on your property. That's proof you're a car guy.” – John (39:40)

  • “With car guys, [a project] is just a beginning, a middle. Ask any wife of a car guy.” – John (25:13)
  • Cross-examines the difference between maintaining cars and just storing projects that never get done.

• Comparisons to Other Hobbies:
  John analogizes hoarding non-running cars to having a closet full of shoes with missing soles or torn leather:

  • “If I had a shoe collection and just all of them were unwearable … you’d think I was crazy. Now you’re doing it with cars.” – John (30:16)

• The Comfort of a Broken Car:
  Brett and Brady admit, even when their own cars are running, a friend’s broken car inevitably ends up on their property.

  • “It's so comforting to a car guy to have a broken car.” – John (39:52)
  • “Car guys … love it.” – John (43:12)

• John is the focal point of the jokes—always the first to declare his own idiocy yet quick to roast “car guy” culture.

• The banter feels like a standup comedy routine crossbred with the camaraderie of longtime friends.

In Summary

This episode delivers:

• A peek behind the scenes of live show booking headaches
• A comedic blow-by-blow of a botched “easy” car repair
• A lovingly scathing look at “car guy” culture and its foibles

Morning Sickness Good morning everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Friday. It is 5:45. This the morning sickness. My name's John. There's Brady, there's Brett, There's Big Dick Toledo. Let's get this thing rolling. Get the hell out of here. After a I have officially boys, I have done the job. You know what? The way radio works nowadays. Maybe they're right. Fire everybody. I'll do it. I've got 16 jobs right now and I'm booking and I'm negotiating prices. I text Brady last night with the people we're gonna get for the the Happy ending show the homeburg after dark December 12th. It is. It is done. Except for the small greed factor of the guests. That's it. And they're arguing. Here's the thing you don't know about when you're booking comedians and celebrities. I didn't know this booking agents. I have new respect for you. The first question they'll ask is what's everybody else getting? And that's usually with the added like, well, I just want it to be fair. I'm not trying to get more than anybody else. So I Throw a number at them. That's kind of. Not necessarily. Nobody's confirmed with the money, but I'm like, we're looking at this. It's for charity. Oh, yeah. Okay, well, just let me know what they come back with. You have to wait for everybody to know what everybody else is getting in order for you to say, this is. This is the price. And then. Well, I mean, I'm kind of the biggest name. Oh, boy. So you do want more. Well, I'm not saying I want more. I said, I'm just so, like, you know, I'm just gonna get Frank. He'll do it for free. He's my.

[Brady]

I was gonna say this wasn't Frank.

[John Holmberg]

Right. You're noshing with Frank is great. Well, Frank has his moments, okay? And rightfully so. You know, people should get paid for. People should get paid. But then working, it's literally one of the guests was like, what does this usually pay? And I'm like, I don't know. And he goes, 20,000. And I'm like, american money. What are you out of your mind? No, you're going to do like 25 minutes worth of work, tops.

[Brett]

All right?

[John Holmberg]

And then you just whittle them down. I've been working. I've been working the last couple of days, working the phones, moving and shaking and getting things done. So I feel pretty good about myself because it is booked for coats.

[Brady]

Done.

[John Holmberg]

We're done. I did with the help of Matt Coman down at the club. We are pretty booked. We're. We're 85% home. And that's good because most of the time, you're running about 10% till day off. So it'd be this ahead of the game. Now, here's the thing. We already. We had Jay Pharoh on this show, and I was super excited about Jay coming out. And then Jay got an offer from, I think Fanduel or somebody, and they were going to give him, like 100 grand or something. Just.

[Brady]

He's out.

[John Holmberg]

That's what I said, Jay, you're making the right choice. And he called like, hey, man, I'll still do it. But I'm like, you want me to match that? I mean, can you, like, it's one show, Jay. I mean, we'd have to charge people $1,000 a ticket to make this work. Yeah, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take that job. Like, you do that. I'd go to his show, for God's sakes. If that was in town, I'd be like, we're Canceled. Just go watch Jay. He's awesome. But he'll be here that weekend anyway, so he's. Yeah, Jay's one of my favorites, so that would. But it is not easy. It is not fun to deal with people. And then. I don't like dealing with money. I don't like. I'm not that guy. I'm not the guy that gets in your pocket. No, no. I like having money. Don't get me wrong. Yeah. People.

[Brady]

I mean, you know, you're supposed to.

[John Holmberg]

I like mine. I don't like dealing with other people's. Because you know why? It ruins. That's why people have agents and stuff. It wrecks. It can wreck a relationship between two people negotiating. Because you're always thinking, is this guy getting one over on me? What could they have spent? But. And I'm just like, dude, this isn't mine to spend, so. But it is booked, and we're ready to go. It's almost sold out anyway, before we even had guests, which is great. If you gu. Want tickets to Homeburg After Dark, it's December 12th, and it's @ Stand Up Live. It's our end of the year live show, and it gets out of hand. And the thing that people want to see are those videos. I mean, they don't care about the guests. The guests are secondary. We do those videos every day. Tripp came in the other day. Least favorite part of the show for me are those stupid videos. I don't want to hear the play by play of that crap. Do you listen every day? Well, yeah, I listen to it. Well, then, there you go.

[Brady]

We offered to show him to him. He wouldn't look.

[John Holmberg]

It's kind of what he said. You guys are gross enough. I don't need play by play of what you're talking about while you watch it. It's true, but there he is, locked to his. Locked to his radio the whole time. Anyway, I'm also riding on a high of pride right now because I watched you two four and a half years ago when I had my arm surgically repaired and could not reach forward so I could. I was helpless in a lot of areas. And it was a rainy. It was rainy March or April, if I recall correctly. And you two morons said you could change my windshield wipers on my Jeep. I could not do it with one. One arm.

[Brady]

I had a broken arm, too.

[John Holmberg]

You were a car guy.

[Brett]

Just say, we'll take a look at it for you.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. Well, it became a viral sensation four years ago of Brady staring at Windshield wipers like they just landed from another planet. And Brett being completely useless as far as verbal or physical help, Brady couldn't reach the windshield wipers. Those little head was sticking up over the front of my Jeep. And my Jeep is not lifted to the point where it's like, oh, it's pretty. You know what? Maybe it is because that picture says otherwise. I feel like a normal human being. Brady looked like an insane progeria child trying to reach over the hood. You guys couldn't do it. You failed. For what seemed like an hour or so. And I laughed, so intimidated by this. With all the rain that's gone on, I've known for a long time I've needed new windshield wipers. And I thought to myself, this can't be as hard as dumb and dumber made it look back in the day. So I bought. I ordered online new windshield wipers for my 2018 Wrangler and my 2012 Wrangler. They're different. And they showed up. And I opened up the package, and I'm looking at it. I'm like, this is just a box, and the instructions are the size of a thumbnail. I can't see the instructions. I can't grasp the. I'm just going in blind. And I swore to myself no YouTube videos will be used. I'm going to do it old school the way I try to get you guys to do it and just figure this out. Well, within about seven seconds, I found the little flap latch and got the wipers off. It's easy. You check. You two were jacking around forever on. It was easy. And I'm like, okay, I'll give it to him that I might have stumbled into this. This is simple. So I get the windshield wipers off, and I'm like, I'm a man today. I'm doing manly, handy car stuff. That's me.

[Brett]

Productive.

[John Holmberg]

Grease on the hands. I'm gonna have to go lava soap up after all this is over. I've touched car parts. When it comes to car stuff, I am gayer than gay. Like, I don't know what anything's called. I don't know. I know. I know how to check. I'm a woman. I check oil. I can change a tire like nobody's business. Because. But, no, I actually, no, I can't, because I need a high lift, and that scares me. I can change a tire on a car. That's not my Jeep. I can't. I have no idea where to put a high lift without bending the frame. I don't do you.

[Brady]

What's that?

[John Holmberg]

A high lift?

[Brady]

Yeah. I mean, I can. No, I can because. But I don't have a jeep, so I don't regularly do it.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, but where do you put it?

[Brady]

Right under the frame.

[John Holmberg]

See what I think. What does that mean? Is that the car?

[Brady]

Yeah, the frame that John I've changed.

[John Holmberg]

Is that the shell I'm gonna break?

[Brady]

It's the frame. It's where the body sits on the frame.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Where's that rear end and the front end attached to the frame.

[John Holmberg]

And it's all of it.

[Brady]

Yeah, I can show. I'll show you.

[John Holmberg]

So if I put that on the side of my Jeep should be right. It's gonna bend.

[Brady]

I'm gonna put it in the body.

[Brett]

A couple of times.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I don't understand where that ends or the frame begins. See, this is what I'm talking about. Where does the frame begin?

[Brady]

I'll show you the body end.

[Brett]

He can show you. Or you can do my assessment, which.

[John Holmberg]

Is tires on a high lift, not.

[Brett]

On a high lift.

[John Holmberg]

See, there's. I can't car. Yeah.

[Brett]

And it looks. This looks like a good place for the jack to go.

[John Holmberg]

I do that every time. I'm like, I think that's steady.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I have no idea what does it.

[Brett]

You know, it hasn't fallen, but.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, I had one fall. I had my legs. My. I was changing my mom's. She had a VW Bug. And I had the jack way over and dropped. And it. No, I don't know what happened. I had my legs under the car, and I'm twisting my legs like. Like I was straddling the tire from underneath. The thing was up. Pulled them out. Reach back. And I heard. I looked over, and the car's. It's on the ground.

[Brett]

Oh, gee.

[John Holmberg]

And I looked in. The jack had just kind of shrunk itself. And I looked. I'm like. My legs were under there, like, seven seconds ago. Like, that was. That's my ass right there. I had. What the hell did. What happened? And then my mom's like, is that all right? I'm like, yeah, it's fine. I was. I didn't panic or anything. It wasn't fine. Her whole car was laying on the ground. And I'm like, I'll get it back up there. And I pumped it back up, and I was in terror. So I can change a tire, But I have had incidents. The high. The high lift. And I don't want to hear from guys who know I'm admitting it. It's not a time to attack a man who's being vulnerable. I'm telling you. I don't know.

[Brady]

So apparently on Jeeps you can do it on the bumper too. That's what I'm reading that I didn't know.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I can do the bumper because it's steel.

[Brady]

Right.

[John Holmberg]

So I put steel bumpers on to the bumper and I have the side rails that are.

[Brady]

Yeah, apparently you can do that here too.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, because they're steel too. But your black one doesn't. Black one does not have that. So I have no idea. And. And the new Bronco has not. I have no idea. I don't know what you're talking about when you say body and frame. Because once it's not body, I assume it's a useful part because here's the guy with the. Oh, you're doing. You're. You're doing a YouTube video, which I.

[Brady]

Want the Jeep, I don't know, control it.

[John Holmberg]

So using two hands is a lot safer. Well, I know how the high lift works. I just don't know where to put it.

[Brady]

All right here on the.

[John Holmberg]

He's got.

[Brady]

On the side rails.

[John Holmberg]

Like. Yeah, I'll put it on the side rails. I don't know your head out of the power either way. I can do that, but I can't without help. I don't think I'd be comfortable using a high lift.

[Brady]

I'd say call triple A.

[John Holmberg]

There's the thing for that. So anyway, I'd call Robert from all.

[Brett]

Pro Shade and Shane Orlando between those two, they could just lift it.

[John Holmberg]

The Shane could just come out. We'll just get her off the ground by hand and then it's up in the air. Meathead there I got three dudes that are manly and they'll just.

[Brady]

You guys just want.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. Meathead will want to do it and then it'll the whole time. Yeah, he'll just get under it on all fours and just push up. Dude's a beast.

Get the new ones on there. Like, look at this. Click, boom, shut the latch. It took me all of a minute to do the black Jeep. Move over to the white Jeep. It's a little different. Find the latch, pop it off, like, got this. Put those on. So proud of myself. I was.

[Brett]

When we were stumped on the white.

[John Holmberg]

Jeep, I think, no, no, it was the black Jeep.

[Brett]

It was the black Jeep.

[John Holmberg]

It was the black Jeep. You guys, I have.

[Brett]

I blacked out.

[John Holmberg]

I have pictures. Well, you couldn't see over the top to see. You don't see color. First of all, that's one thing we should all know about Brady. Black, white. He's just.

[Brett]

Amen to that.

[John Holmberg]

It's just a Jeep to him. So I get these. I get them put on there. And I am thrilled. So I'm driving to work yesterday. It's a little rainy, and I got the windshield wipers on. I'm like, look at that. It's a little. It's not good. They must need breaking in because it's, you know, they're still. They're squishing water around pretty good, but they're new. So I parked. Pretty proud of myself. Come to work. Didn't talk about it yesterday because I was like, you know, I'll get this done. It hasn't rained enough yet. Yesterday, I go down to Lost Her Home Pet Rescue with Amy, and she's from Payson, so she's more of a man than I'll ever. So she did it, all right. She's. She knows what I'm doing. We get into the Jeep and I'm like, ah. I said, I changed those windshield wipers myself. And it starts to rain a little. On our way over to Loster Home, it's like the last bit of yesterday's rain. So we're going over there to see the dog. By the way, the dog's name is Ben and he's a puppy. He's part of a litter of 12. It was a hoarding thing because people, their dog got pregnant. Fix your dog. Spay and neuter dog gets pregnant, has 12 puppies, and instead of doing anything right, they just put him in an abandoned home. I know. So they got found. The neighbors are like, hey, this house that's got nobody in his barking like crazy. It was kind of a weird situation. It's kind of what? So anyway, Ben's part of that. Go get Ben. Go get the. These puppies are amazing. They're so cute. And, you know, puppies go fast. Get chalky. Get any other dog that's over there that needs a chance. So that aside. So we're on our Way over there, it's raining. And I told her, I said, the driver side's working good. The passenger side still squishing the water around. It's kind of smearing it. And I said, but I think they have to break in. And she goes, you have to take the plastic off. And I said, huh. I thought my blades were just cool blue blades. There's like a weird plastic blue cover.

[Brady]

Yeah. It protects the blade.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I thought I just had really cool. That's a proud one. Was a pro install and it wasn't right. I just thought maybe I just bought some cruddy wipers. These aren't so great. Sure enough, there's like a little sleeve like you do for. I'll use the gayest term I can. Figure skating, you know, you put them over the blade. Yeah. It wasn't even a peel. It just slides right off. She reaches out the window and this blue plastic thing for some reason is guarding these blades that were in. By the way, they were in three boxes. For me to get to these blades in the first place. I don't know what kind of elements we're getting to these, these wipers that they were worried. So it had to come with some sort of a blue shield. But yeah, sure enough, I was driving around yesterday morning pretty proud of myself with two plastic pieces over the actual blades going, they're not working great.

[Brett]

I'm not real happy with these blades.

[John Holmberg]

But I was. I was still on a high. I was still on a 9 out of 10 high about having changed them myself. So I was like, these aren't very good. But you know what? Easy enough. I'll just replace them with some new ones if this, this seems. And then I started thinking, maybe my old ones weren't so bad. Yeah, maybe they still had the blade on them too. But yeah, evidently there's two years.

[Brett]

You don't know, flat on the windshield. Like contour with it. They're kind of straight planks mine. That's what I'm saying.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. No. And that's what I was kind of like. That's weird. And when I was doing it, it was pushing the water up, but it was smearing. Was still better than my old cruddy busted up sun blades. But I'm looking and I'm like, I get myself all taken care of there. And I'm pretty proud of myself. I had no idea that there was a protective barrier between the window and the actual wiper. And I'm an idiot. So I was immediately. She goes, yeah, that's the blue thing. Because then I noticed that the driver's side one had fallen off. I'm like, you're right, driver's side's working better and it's black. But that blue one over there doesn't work as well. She just took it right off. I'm like, oh, she put her hand.

[Brady]

Out and asked for your man card. When she.

[John Holmberg]

Well, if that. Look, if those were real then we'd have an argument. That's a silly thing that people say. Nobody has a man card. It's a penis and I have one. And I'm a. I'm not ashamed.

[Brady]

But still.

[Brett]

Grabbing that.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, the cigarette was hanging out around. Give him an idiot. And we're at the stoplight right there at the 52nd and getting onto the 202 and what is that? Washington? And I was like, oh, well that's.

[Brett]

You found it quick.

[John Holmberg]

It's pretty embarrassing. Well, I mean it's glowing neon blue. I just thought I had the coolest blades ever. I just thought they. Oh, they make blue ones. That's kind of neat. And no, they're black and they're rubber. And the plastic on the end was not some sort of new. I felt it. I'm like, man, I got some new fangled high tech equipment they use for wipers now that are slick. These are going to last forever. This is. Never knew that they came off and I don't even know how the one on the driver's side fell off. Must have been when I was driving and it was dark.

[Brady]

That side were great.

[John Holmberg]

That side, I'm like that. This side. And I said it out loud in the car. On like I took the surface streets. I was so proud of myself. I wanted to use the wipers longer. I'm like, this side's all broken in. That passenger side, not so much. And I just thought it took a little time to get the wipers going and they'll get their job done. Nope. Idiot.

[Brady]

John. I work at AutoZone. We install them for free when you.

[John Holmberg]

Buy them from us. Calm down. I got them on the Internet so I didn't have to talk to one of you guys. And I probably would have used it. But look, as a man, it's so hard to go to AutoZone and go, Trevor, can you do this for me? Like you just don't want to be that dude because I know what you're thinking. Autozone, Trevor. Oh, you can't change these. You said there's nothing worse, and I've talked about this before than car guys when you Tell them you don't know anything. When car guys find out you don't know anything about cars, they act like it's some sort of. Like it would like your innate knowledge that you're born with. Even when they were like, I go down and fix your car at a dealership and they're like, you don't know about that. I'm like, that's why I'm here. That's why you have a job. Be grateful there's guys like me. Be grateful that I never cared enough about a car to try to fix it. I have no idea. And by the way, I'll say it again. Car guys. For all the knowledge you have about cars, you always have a broken one in your front yard or driveway or garage for ages. It never gets fixed. I'm not sure you know anything. There is never a car guy I've met that's a true car guy that doesn't have a broken car. But they've got their problems.

[Brady]

They're fixing your twink ass truck.

[John Holmberg]

Is that the reason? Got time for that? Is that the reason? There's a 72 Nova with no hood on it for today.

[Brett]

I'm gonna work on the Nova every morning. Then here comes home Burger.

[Brady]

Here come the windshield wiper guy.

[John Holmberg]

Great. For eight years. There's always. And that's the. That's the bare minimum of car guy having a broken car in his driveway or garage. I gotta get myself a second car there. I got a 280Z I just put up in the lift. Like, does it run? No. How long have you had it? Seven years. Like then you're a bad car guy. No, no. We all have to have a broken one forever. And telling me I don't know what I'm doing. Be grateful, car guys. Be grateful that there are people like me. And I'm going to throw Brady in there because he can't reach the engine. So you can't even fix it without. You can't do anything. You're not a car.

[Brett]

When I go to AutoZone, I always put on a coat and tie.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I can't do that. Smart. That's actually really smart. Go in there dressed in a tuxedo and monocle on the top. Good day, AutoZone. Sir, it would appear that my four wheel drive vehicle's windshield wipers are not adequate. I of course am dressed for another gala. I could change it, but of course I'd get filthy. Will you please Trevor help me? You get a hook model or you got the snaps? These are words I Don't understand. Trevor, you have to find these things out, explore, and then tell me on.

[Brett]

FanDuel the other day.

[John Holmberg]

I'm an idiot, but I laughed because I'm like, man, I am. Just when I thought I'd solved one minor car issue and figured something out, I still idiot girled it.

[Brett]

That's pretty good.

[John Holmberg]

I left those blue things on there and just thought my wiper sucked for until. I don't know if it would have been years. It would have been years. I'm not kidding. If they. If those things were, like, taped on, they just stayed on until someone told me, like. And luckily, Emmy was in the car yesterday. That's it.

[Brady]

You always have her fix it.

[John Holmberg]

Well, she could.

[Brady]

I know.

[John Holmberg]

She grew up in Payson. She can build a car. I guarantee you. Amy'd be like her smokes. She's probably had a couple of oil fires in her house for no reason. But your family, you grew up with car guys. And there wasn't a day of your life that you're familiar with that in your garage or in your driveway was a car that didn't work.

[Brady]

Well, you're building a car.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. That doesn't mean anything. It just means it's a car that does not work. You're building a car. Does the car function well while you're building it?

[Brady]

No. Because you're building. Because you're building it.

[John Holmberg]

Did you have a car that didn't work in your home? All of them. Six months, Every day of your life, you had a car in your house that didn't work? No.

[Brady]

Not every day.

[John Holmberg]

Every day?

[Brady]

No, not every day.

[John Holmberg]

By the time it. Absolutely, I guarantee.

[Brady]

Do you have one right now that doesn't run? Yeah, no, all mine run.

[John Holmberg]

Do you have one that runs that you can drive or you're just like, no kidding. That's rare. Yeah, that's. Is there one in your dad's garage?

[Brady]

Nope, nope, nope. They're all running.

[John Holmberg]

Did you.

[Brady]

That's rare for my dad. I will admit it.

[John Holmberg]

That is not a real thing.

[Brady]

It is running.

[John Holmberg]

This is my neighbor, Matt Dillard. Yeah. Two years with a car that doesn't.

[Brett]

Run in the garage. Well, it was running for. It's an older pickup.

[John Holmberg]

He won't drive it, and it's not done yet.

[Brett]

And he's like, you know what? I'm going to redo the whole thing. The patience is unbelievable.

[John Holmberg]

I think it's just because he's got an inflatable tent.

[Brett]

He's doing the old painting, too.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yes.

[Brett]

Yeah. You can buy these Car spray tanks.

[John Holmberg]

That's ridiculous. I understand it's a hobby, but I.

[Brett]

I've got about two months left.

[John Holmberg]

I'm still not sure if I went to Brett's house. If I said, let's get in that thing and go to, you know, Taco Bell.

[Brady]

Come on, let's go.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know if I want to drive it around. Come on. Or it has no tags.

[Brady]

Nope.

[John Holmberg]

All got tags. No kidding.

[Brady]

You are breaking all the rules. You are ahead of the.

[John Holmberg]

You are not a car guy. You're a woman.

[Brady]

Hey, it's not going to say it's not going to happen in, you know, a couple months, but, you know, every car.

[John Holmberg]

There's a mansion in a house behind my neighborhood that I've. That I'll go. My bike. I'll go buy it. And it's gorgeous. It's on a hill. It's this beautiful. The front yard is this flowing. In the garage of the guest house for. Since I've lived There, which was 2012, is this car with two. The sticks where the hood should go.

[Brady]

Wait a minute. That's still like that?

[John Holmberg]

Still like that.

[Brady]

That was years ago.

[John Holmberg]

I've talked about this forever. I went by because I gotta go buy it to go to my friend Mark's house. And I look up there every time, and that thing is still in the garage. It's a carport because it's the guest house. And it's. For a while there it was outside until the neighbor's like, could you at least hide it? John Holmberg's morning sickness. The 98 KUPD. Holmberg's morning sickness. And he pushed it back into the thing. And I see somebody there every once in a while walking around it. I've never seen anybody working on it ever. And I'm like, car guy. And I love car guys. Don't get me wrong. You guys get. You guys. You get a little too snooty about me not knowing anything, which is what's keeping you in business. And also, other than Brett, who I'm super skeptical of, I'd love to do it.

[Brady]

Come over today.

[John Holmberg]

Love to. And do an inspection.

[Brady]

Sneak inspection today. Come on over to do both you.

[John Holmberg]

And your dad's house. Yeah, I'd like to start it and see.

[Sleep Number Announcer]

Check.

[John Holmberg]

Engine light on. Not on any of them, it's not.

[Brady]

Say it's not going to happen.

[Brett]

How long?

[Brady]

As of 607, on November 21st, everything runs.

[John Holmberg]

Everything.

[Brady]

Hang on.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, exactly. All tags all up to date. Licensed, insured.

[Brady]

Nope.

[John Holmberg]

What kind of car guy Are you?

[Brady]

Well, I inherited.

[John Holmberg]

I'm just saying. Well, I have.

[Brett]

I'm thinking this morning you come in and it's like, tripp, we'll get a call from Brad.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, exactly.

[Brett]

One broke down.

[John Holmberg]

I need a flatbed. Trip's not a car.

[Brady]

I got him one.

[John Holmberg]

He's a car enthusiast. Yeah, he's never getting his hands.

[Brady]

He's not working on that stuff. Yeah, I pay people to do that.

[John Holmberg]

That's when people always ask me. It's like, you take your Jeep out four wheeling and stuff? Yeah, I do, but I'll take it to Sedona by myself. But if I'm going on the real stuff, I take the dudes who know how to fix cars. Because if something goes wrong, my Jeep staying in the desert, I have no idea what to do. I mean, none. You open that hood, you might as well keep it closed. I'd be better off trying to fix it with the closed hood than I would with it open. When it's open, I'm like, what is this, Legos? I don't know how to do this. I'm an idiot. And then a car goes. I'm like, I shut up and fix it.

[Brett]

You know, be out here, bro.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, bro. You don't know what that is. I don't. Not only that, I don't care what it is. You fix it. That's why you're the grease mug. The only reason I'm here with you is because of something breaking. Think I like your company? All you do is talk about what I don't know. I don't do that to you. I give you constant praise, car guy.

[Brady]

Now let's go back to projects for a reason.

[John Holmberg]

Right? Well, they're supposed to end. Look up the word project. It's got a beginning, middle, and an end. With car guys, it's just a beginning, a middle. Ask any wife of a car guy.

[Brady]

Come on.

[John Holmberg]

Always get mad at people who don't. Who don't want a broken car in their house.

[Brett]

My Neighbor's got a Z28 that's been in the garage 19 years. 19 years since I've moved in.

[Brady]

Does it run? I mean, has he ever fired up on blocks?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, okay, that's the other.

[Brett]

But he is. It's his son's car, so I guess he's kind of storing it for him. But like son, his son doesn't like years. So he's got other projects.

[John Holmberg]

I love that about car guys, too. And they'll start it, they shut it off, and then they go Inside, like they've accomplished something. That car still has not left and it's sitting on those weird tire protectors so they don't touch the concrete. And like, what is going on? I love car guys, but I just don't like your attitudes when it comes to me saying I don't know anything about them. And you look at me like, I just told you. I'm like, will you teach me math I didn't ask to learn? When a non car guy talks to a car guy and says, I don't know what I'm doing, that isn't an invitation to become an encyclopedia or a manual. I'm not interested. I know it does not interest me in the slightest. I do like, little projects. Little ones. I'm not gonna have a broken car in my garage forever. But the windshield wiper thing, I was pretty proud of myself and then found out that I had not completed the gig because they were still wrapped in plastic. I didn't know that. But now, hey, now that it's not raining anymore, they're ready. They're ready to go. Actually, the white one, I still have the blue on there because I. When I pulled into the. I looked at it yesterday, I was like, yeah, they're plastic still on there. And I wasn't going to take those off ever. In fact, when I put them on, I was in the garage and I. I turned the white one on first and did the windshield wiper thing. And it's just pushed the Windex all over and I'm like, jesus, I need new Windex. I thought it was the. I thought it had sat in there too long. Must be bad Windex, because it was, because I just had brand new windshield wipers. Oh, my God, the Windex must smear because that. But no, it's because they're big plastic shields on my. I'm an idiot. I admit it. Don't email me telling me I'm an idiot. I'm telling you I'm an idiot. I get it.

[Brady]

Hey, Jewburg, don't talk about our projects. How about that bike rack that you still haven't hung in your garage?

[John Holmberg]

And what's again, you attack all you want. You guys won't admit you're idiots. I said I'm a moron. The bike rack situation was a complete catastrophe caused by one man and one man only. And I'm pointing to him right now. He's me.

[Brett]

Holy Hoberg.

[John Holmberg]

But I called it a project. And you know what I did? I had the decency to walk away from it and Say, I don't know what I'm doing. Car guy. Your car's been in your garage, your project for eight years, and it still hadn't been on the road except for maybe you drive it around until it starts to conk out again. It's like, yeah, I got it down there to the Dave's house about six houses down and start making some funny noise. So I brought it back to the garage. I'll work on it tomorrow. If your car is not functional for the freeway or road trip, it doesn't work. Would you take any of your cars to California right now?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

All of them?

[Brady]

Yeah. No, no, no. Not, not, not as far as safety wise. Not worried about that.

[John Holmberg]

What does that mean?

[Brady]

I mean, as far as, like, I just don'. I want on my one car. I don't want rock chips and everything else from trucks and all on the, on the long roads, on the freeway.

[John Holmberg]

Want to use it with other people?

[Brady]

I will use it around town and stuff like that, but I don't want to. I don't want to take it on Interstate 10 going out unless he's running.

[Brett]

Beer coast to coast.

[Brady]

Well, if I have a 78 trans.

[John Holmberg]

AM, what's that car you got, that big white one?

[Brady]

My 57 Ford.

[John Holmberg]

Ford, yeah, that's right. And you won't, you don't want that out on freeways because of, I mean, freeways around here.

[Brady]

But yeah, I don't want to go out of. I'm the 10 behind, you know, all them trucks.

[John Holmberg]

But you would if there, if it was a perfect day. You, you have no problem saying this will get us to San Diego? No issues.

[Brady]

No, no.

[John Holmberg]

You're not a real car. You're not a real car. Most car guys have a car that won't get down to the stoplight. Yeah. Maybe get to stop sign. I'm get a little worried.

[Brady]

It's not to say it won't happen. I'm just saying those aren't the everyday.

[John Holmberg]

Cars because they don't work. You know, shoes with no soles aren't my everyday shoes. I'll put some souls on it later. I'm a. I'm a bad haberdasher.

[Brett]

Yeah, but you got, you got your dress shoes. You don't wear those every day.

[Brady]

Yeah, but if they had holes all day long.

[John Holmberg]

But if you saw in my closet a pair of dress shoes that had no soles on them, you're like, what are you doing with these? It's a project I'm working on how long they've been like six years. I'm like, aren't you gonna buy soles for bad cobbler? I'm a bad cobbler. That's not happening. Yeah, I'm a cobble. I cobble and got a whole closet full of shoes that I can't wear.

[Brett]

Cobbler for someone else.

[John Holmberg]

If you. It's a good. It's a good comparison. If I had a shoe collection and just all of them were unwearable because this one doesn't have a tongue. This one's missing a sole. The side of this one's just been dug out. The leather's been torn off. Like. These aren't shoes. I'm working on it. Well, that. They're non functioning shoes. It's a project. You'd think I was crazy. Now you're doing it with cars.

[Brady]

Anthony did the same thing as you did, apparently. Left the protective things on the glass.

[John Holmberg]

That was a thing. I felt like such a pinhead when Amy took that off. But I'm proud of myself that I actually. Because I beat. Hey, first off, Brady, not so much you. I had great pride that I won. Up to you on the car.

[Brady]

That was one wing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but you didn't know how to tell Brady.

[Brady]

My other wing.

[John Holmberg]

Couldn't.

[Brady]

Couldn't reach.

[John Holmberg]

You guys fumbled around with that for so long.

[Brady]

If I had had a step stool, we'd have been fine.

[Brett]

What you were.

[Brady]

I could have. Here I had one wing.

[Brett]

If I would have had a ladder, I would have.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you needed the. You needed a NASA to get involved.

[Brett]

I'm gonna change that thing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Scaffolding a crew. Osha. You're not gonna. I. I was thinking about it yesterday when I reached up and got to those white.

[Brett]

Maybe one of those engine links.

[John Holmberg]

You need a cherry picker. Yeah. When you call Luke over there at Icon and get a cherry picker in there and get that together, I started thinking how. How short you were. When I had pulled that back. I'm like, wow. His elbows were like banging into the side. Anyway.

[Brady]

I will redeem myself next time. You need wiper blades.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I don't need you anymore.

[Brady]

Hopefully. We're still on the air, by the way.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Once every five or six years. It was four and a half years ago, and I don't. Yeah, it was a. These. The ones I had too, were just like. They had tassels. They were so bad. You turn the windshield wipers on, it's like strips. It's strips of things flying all over.

[Brett]

Is there a sale going on his windshield?

[John Holmberg]

I. I don't know how I didn't kill someone. Two mornings ago. I was driving and I had to go over and put the trash out and the other place. So I went. And I'm going up McDowell and I'm coming up over the hill. Lights are hitting me and I'm like, I can't see a thing. I'm gonna kill someone there. I couldn't see anything. Those wipers were making it awful. I'm like, I gotta change these. And I did. 89% of the wiper situation was 89.

[Brady]

Awesome.

[John Holmberg]

Everything was right. I heard the click. The click was so satisfying. Then I put the latch down. And I'm hard after doing that. I did. I got a little aroused by me. There was a thing before you put the wiper that says push. There's two little parts. You push on the latch and then you lift the latch. I didn't know what they meant. It's just one big chunk. And it's actually the same thing. You're pushing. You're supposed to pop open.

[Brett]

I've never.

[John Holmberg]

I almost broke sometimes.

[Brett]

What. How much of the blade comes off? Like only the blade or Zach turns.

[John Holmberg]

Out on the Jeep, the whole thing comes off. And I thought the same thing. I'm like, do I just take these strips? Yeah. It was a nightmare. Well, it's good that Brady didn't do it either. But I'll tell you right now, two.

[Brett]

Months ago, I had a pair in my hand. Kirby's car in. Yeah, the Mustang for oil change. And as I'm, you know, I. I pick. I've got the blades in my hand. And when. When the oil change is done at the place, all I was planning on putting on the wiper.

[John Holmberg]

Sure.

[Brett]

But the guy at the place says, hey, we can put those on right here. You know what? And Kirby's there. Okay, go ahead and do that.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

Nah, she's gonna have to mess with it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she's just in the wrong guy. Daddy is going to lose points.

[Brett]

Daddy's champ.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Don't ruin that. Hol's Morning Sickness. The 98 KUPD. Holg's Morning Sickness. JP, I enjoy your email the most. I'm going to rhyme the word. You just add an F. Where I put a B says, all I'm hearing from John right now is, I'm a bag. I'm a bag. I'm a bag. What a pussy. I'm not. Look, there's no reason to disparage the homosexual community. Tom Brennaman. They can change wipers better than me. So I'm somewhere beneath that whole, you know, that insult. If you wanted to do that, why.

[Brett]

They called the blade capital.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Taking it in the ass is a lot more manly than what I was doing with those blades. And Jennifer says my sister did that blue film thing too with a potato peeler from Walmart. She potato peeled off the wiper plastic.

[Brady]

No, I think she, when she bought it, they put a protective coat over the peeler part. Oh, she tried to start peeling a potato with the protector on it.

[John Holmberg]

Oh. With a bit. I see. Oh my God. Yeah, it's dumb.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And I admit it. So there's no reason to attack a man who's saying. Yup, you're right, that's silly. Don't call me the homo F word anymore.

[Brady]

Sorry.

[John Holmberg]

Bag. Bag. Yeah, bag, bag, bag. So it says I have four cars and they all have different wiper attachments. Three Fords and a Chevy. It is annoying. They don't make it simple. It's all designed to make girls frustrated. I don't know. There isn't a single girl. I did have a few seconds of like, what the hell is this thing? When I looked at it, I got lucky and found the latch fast. It's tiny. I mean really tiny. It's actually built for women to do that. Tab is so small. And I got to it and then I figured out how to pop it off. I'm like, oh, okay. No woman would take her time with this. So it's designed to frustrate them.

[Brett]

We have to change our wipers because of the sun.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brett]

The rain.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Somebody needs a year or something like that. It's actually a good idea if you're a car guy and you've got one of those projects and you're to come up and invent a Phoenix desert wiper that isn't like, you know, what everybody else uses and just specifically for high temperature things because our. They get destroyed out here anyway. By the way, you guys. I felt good about myself. Jackasses. Yeah. So Brady can relate to this. Remember when you first tried to get to those Velveeta singles? Oh, that was another trying to open those at that point. Why would you wrap them all like that? Just you know, put a little piece of paper between each one. It's easy.

[Brett]

I can peel and eat now you just have the little paper separated, which is nice.

[John Holmberg]

On the American flights they do.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

That is a nicer thing to do to people. Matthew said, sorry, John.

[Brady]

When you leave the door open, we walk around.

[John Holmberg]

I left the door open with a Sign that said he. He knows you guys are kicking the. It's the lowest. It's the fruit that's on the ground, and you're kicking it around. I told you already. And no one believes you. Brett, all my emails are like, no way. If you're a car guy, you've got two vehicles you don't trust to go to California, and he doesn't even have one. That is so true. That is so true.

[Brady]

On over.

[John Holmberg]

Now, the reason you trust me.

[Brady]

I do have a buddy's truck in the back of my house.

[John Holmberg]

That. It's not mine.

[Brady]

It's not mine.

[John Holmberg]

That's. But you have a broken car.

[Brady]

I do not own it. He's just using my.

[John Holmberg]

That's not what I said. No, every. That is not what I said.

[Brett]

I usually have two, but I know not ownership.

[John Holmberg]

Now you're a car guy again. Every car guy. All I said was every car guy has a broken, useless car on their property. I didn't say yours.

[Brady]

That doesn't mean.

[John Holmberg]

No, every car guy has a broken car on his property. And you do.

[Brett]

Let a friend use it.

[Brady]

Yeah, let a friend use it.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Brady]

I'll run, though.

[John Holmberg]

You guys can't live without a broken pile of crap.

[Brady]

I'm gonna tell Chad to pick up his car.

[John Holmberg]

Exactly. Chad. What are you doing? More than likely, Chad has another one at his house. That's. He does.

[Brett]

Of course.

[John Holmberg]

That's the car guy rules. All right, now I feel better about it.

[Brady]

You were.

[John Holmberg]

You were screwing the curve. All right, this makes sense.

[Brett]

His wife, not mine.

[John Holmberg]

It doesn't matter. Somehow or another, a car guy finds another guy who has multiple broken cars.

[Brady]

Part of being a car guy needs.

[John Holmberg]

To put his broken car.

[Brett]

Chad. I'm tired of looking at that Pacer in the yard.

[John Holmberg]

It's just a constant. You can't live your lives without a broken car on your property. That's. That's proof you're a car guy. What's wrong with the truck? Did it have to get towed over? Oh, yeah.

[Ad Read Announcer]

It's.

[John Holmberg]

It's completely useless.

[Brett]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

It's a disaster. Oh, yeah. There's an engine out of it. Oh, yeah.

[Brady]

All right, See this baby engine transmission.

[John Holmberg]

It's the shell of a force. There's parts there. But, Brady, it's never going to be finished. This car will move from place to place. Broken forever, Cherry. Forever. Forever. And you know what's going to happen? He's going to get, like, sick or something in, like, 25 years. Because we all End up doing that and he's going to give it to some other guy and that guy will refurbish it in his honor. That's always what happens. Car guy. Everyday car guy. Predictability. I knew you were a real car guy. Finally there are a bunch of people asking how far removed from the last broken car. He answered it. He's got this. Yeah. Of his own. His own? Yeah. When's the last time you had a broken car of your own? Before Chad dropped his car off. You had. You had to have a broken one. The reason you have Chad's broken cars. Cuz yours all work. Was it at the old house? How long ago?

[Brady]

Oh, yeah, yeah. It was definitely at the old house. I haven't had any.

[Brett]

I thought you put something in recently. It's. I mean it was, you know, it's replacing it.

[Brady]

I'm trying to think now, not when.

[Brett]

Check the oven.

[John Holmberg]

Let me ask you.

[Brady]

That's at my dad's house.

[John Holmberg]

This is the better question. When is the last time you had a property of all functioning cars and not one, yours or otherwise? Broken car on your house?

[Brady]

Property on my last house. For a little while.

[John Holmberg]

How long? A week.

[Brady]

No, no.

[John Holmberg]

Because once you fix the good ones, you're like, all right, I got room for the broken.

[Brett]

A year or so.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You. It's like an orphanage. It's like you're like a hoarder. Like you have to have a broken car.

[Brady]

Oil changes and stuff don't count. That's just maintenance. You can't count. Like if you're gonna. If your car's down for an oil change and you're changing it, that's different.

[John Holmberg]

That's. Yeah, okay. Right.

[Brett]

That's what I meant. It was like a standard.

[John Holmberg]

I'm talking about a useless pad. Broken car. Got it.

[Brady]

So you can't drive in a couple hours.

[John Holmberg]

So vindicated by your Chad part.

[Brett]

Hey.

[Brady]

My car.

[John Holmberg]

But it's still.

[Brady]

You were my ass all runs.

[John Holmberg]

I guarantee you. You were so happy when Chad's like, I gotta find a place for this Ford. And you're like, I got my new house. There's plenty of room there. You. It's so comforting to a car guy to have a broken car.

[Brady]

Everybody want everybody.

[John Holmberg]

I've. I.

[Brady]

As a matter of fact, when we got this new house, everybody's like, hey.

[John Holmberg]

Man, let me park. I broke my wagon over there. No, no. Why does Chad get the win?

[Brady]

He's my boy.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, exactly.

[Brady]

And he'll actually work on his car.

[John Holmberg]

Because he's got two. And then Sometimes that's another car guy. Thing is that there's just a stranger that shows up on a Sunday at 7 and starts making noise on his broken car on your property. Yeah. Yeah. You guys are all the same.

[Brady]

I got a buddy that's got a big. A big yard too. And I was. And I was over there one day, and he's tons of broken cars. I'm like, whose is that? He goes, I don't even remember.

[John Holmberg]

He does.

[Brady]

I mean, like, yeah, somebody brought it there. He just left it.

[John Holmberg]

It's. It's.

[Brady]

He's like, you want it?

[John Holmberg]

I feel so much better.

[Brett]

How fast are you going home after the show and starting?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Make sure they all start. Look, he's mine, Will. He's at his quota of one miserably junked up car on his property. And Matthias fine with that.

[Brady]

As long as you don't have to see it.

[John Holmberg]

Is it in the backyard or on the side?

[Brady]

It's behind the garage.

[John Holmberg]

It's hidden, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't see it because you're not supposed to have that and you know it. But it's. You can't sleep unless there's a broken car on your property.

[Brett]

How many coveralls do you have with Brett on the day?

[Brady]

No, none of that.

[John Holmberg]

No. Wear the jumper. No, no. Okay. They're old. What's wrong with you old?

[Brady]

Beer shirts and stuff we got at remotes and stuff. Like, all right, here we go.

[John Holmberg]

God, I feel so much better now that I know Chad's car is over at Brett's house, because I just. Like, this doesn't make sense. Is Brett not a car guy anymore? Oh, no. 100%. Yeah. We're so predictable as human beings. Our hobbies become so every. And everybody thinks, ah, I'll take care of Chad. Chad has a second broken car he's working on. He doesn't have any room at his house, Right. So he needed to shove this on somebody else's property. And guess what? If you don't tell Chad, come get this fixed, it will live there for years now.

[Brady]

He's actually good about it. He's actually there on the weekends working on it.

[John Holmberg]

Is how good a car guy is he that it still. Still doesn't have an engine?

[Brady]

Basket case. I mean, he bought it.

[John Holmberg]

Like, what's he working on if it doesn't have an engine in it? It.

[Brady]

What do you mean, what's he working on? The front suspension. He's changing the front clip.

[John Holmberg]

That doesn't do anything. It doesn't do anything without an engine. It does. It's a roller skate. You people.

[Brady]

It will be one you people someday.

[John Holmberg]

Let me say it to you, Brett, for the first time. The thing that you say to so many others. You people, they're all the same, you know? He should know. They're all the same.

[Brett]

We should do that thing where people do in the summer. They. They rent their pools to the. The VRBA should do that with a mechanical garage. Set up a garage.

[John Holmberg]

The only time dad's working there.

[Brett]

Rent it out.

[John Holmberg]

Brett's not going to do that because unless he has a second guy come. You only charge the second guy he needs for his heart to keep beating. A broken car in his property. Your dad's house didn't have some friend's car on it, did it? Recently? Not for.

[Brady]

No, not recently.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. All right. He did.

[Brett]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Of course he did. You have to. That's beautiful. Oh, thank you, Brad. That's nice. I started to think, man, the world's topsy turvy. We were gonna go off our axis if Brett didn't have a busted car on his property. Thank you, Chad. I've never met Chad, but Chad's done the work of a. Of a thousand men. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? Five eight, five, nine, zero zero. Celebrating my new. I might as well host Motor Week at this point with what I'm doing with windshield wipers.

[Brett]

Sean, have you ever gotten someone saying to you about your car? How many hours you put in on this?

[John Holmberg]

And the answer would be a good 30 minutes the other day. Like three. Like, no, kid, in three hours. Yeah, three or four hours this week. What'd you do? I couldn't get the windshield wipers. Right. And actually, if you technically want to say how many hours I put into the car this week, it's. We're at, like, 60. Because I haven't finished the job. Evidently on the white one, it's the clock is still ticking because I haven't taken the blue off of the strips.

[Brett]

I got over 2,000 hours.

[John Holmberg]

I don't even know what that means. I'm not a pilot. I don't get it. You know what? Nobody asked. Brady's never been asked, and I've never been asked, can I park my junker at your house? No. I don't want a broken car in my yard. Car guys love it. Let's get a Wake up song. 585-9800. A good one. We'll scream it together. It's 98 KUPD. Wake Up. It's out of control now. 98k, you PD.
