Date: November 24, 2025

Theme:
It’s Day 1 of Playdio 2026, Holmberg’s annual battle-of-the-bands where local Arizona groups submit original tracks to compete for the chance to write the show’s 2026 theme song. The crew listens, critiques, and rates the first five entries on-air. Listeners also have opportunities to weigh in via social media and text. The hosts banter, zing, and often eviscerate entries—all part of the fun.

Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. Playdio Introduction & Format

[03:13-04:30]

• Holmberg explains Playdio’s format: 40 bands submit one original song each; hosts play, roast, and rate them.

• Critique system:
  • If Brett dislikes a song, a Sopranos sound drop is played.
  • Brady uses a "gong."

For Newcomers

Even if you missed the live episode, the summary above captures the infectiously chaotic spirit of Playdio Day 1. "Piss Ball Pete" is the clear show-stealer, with hosts and listeners echoing its instant-cult-song status. If you want to see what gets a band noticed—it's less about polish, more about making an unforgettable (possibly ludicrous) impression.

Tomorrow's promise: More bands step up to survive the HMS gauntlet—with "Piss Ball Pete" looming as the surprise frontrunner to beat.

All right, everybody, here we go. We're going to like this thing work. It is time for Playdoh 2026, the band that wins. Get some money and the unbelievable honor of so many bands before them that we don't remember to have our theme song for 2026. They will write it just like Miles to Noah did. And let's hear it for Miles to Noah who put out a hell of a theme song for us this year. Kept us happy every morning you heard it. It's great. Katie and the Hobbs. I'm disappointed only in that they didn't get involved again this year.

[B]

Going out on top, you know.

[D]

Yeah, you know what? One and done. You walk out with a championship and you leave, you retire with a ring. So here we go. If, if the song is played, that means that you are One of the 40 people that have gotten yourselves involved in this thing. We are looking for the top five to play tomorrow night downtown at Copper Blues. They will do two songs for us live. The competition is the song that they submitted on the radio. We take the top five from that we put them in a battle of the band scenario. Tomorrow night at Copper Blues Wednesday we name a winner. Part of the winning of the live show is that you bring fans on a Tuesday to Copper Blues and fill it up. Glorious. And I cannot wait for tomorrow to see the top five. But in the meantime, we have to sift through to find the top five and score accordingly. Now, if Brett does not like it, you will hear a drop from the Sopranos in the middle of the song. It means Brett is checked out and does not want to hear any more of the song. It'll sound something like this. The cows or oh, the man's trying to eat. Something like that will happen. If Brady doesn't like it, he goes to his patented gong. Racism Roman. I'm going this year with this one. I like a lot. Just screaming no. Top of our lungs. Doesn't end. Gives you a few extra seconds before you realize that your band is about to be. I think he takes another breath pump that he does. He hits the ground and then starts again. Christ, it's one of my favorite things ever takes a breath.

[B]

It's never.

[D]

Are we ready? Bio for band number one, please. Enter my hands, please. Toledo. Band number one is Ag Session or Ag Session.

[F]

Silver Session. I don't know.

[E]

Huh? I don't know.

[D]

He's going, that could be.

[A]

Is that true?

[D]

Yeah. Freddie's going all science on us and stuff. Breaking up the periodic table. Can't hear. But he sure does know his gold and silver. And I'm the Jew. Ag Session is a three piece rock band from Phoenix, Arizona. The song Reflection explores addiction and the courage it takes to seek help. Look inward. Inward. Brett. I tried to get through that. I tried to be a complete professional. But you get laughed at. Inward. Lifelong struggle of overcoming dependency while working out to rebuild relationships. By the way, speaking of the quick interruption, I had the top off the Bronco the other day. I'm on 20th street in Camelback. Beautiful day. And I'll tell the Disney version of this. This is the Disney version. And there's a guy on the corner. I'm second in line to turn right on 20th Street. Guy in front of me is going straight. So I gotta wait for the light to turn. So I'm not. There's a dude walking towards me. He's got a sign. It's a black guy. He's got a sign. And there's no. Like, I can't read it. So I'm squinting, trying to read the thing. And I hear, what you looking at, Tigger? Like, what am I gonna get killed? You're not gonna make any money that way. You gotta have a better attitude. And I laughed for 15 minutes after I realized what had happened. I Was trying to read your sign. Maybe it would have moved me into giving you money. But then you called me The N word. 20th street in Camelback. This sign is like. It's like when Mexicans write on rice. Anyway, get more to the point. I don't have time to read that whole thing. I tried. Then you called me the N word. Anyway, it says the reflection is out now. The song on all streaming platforms. Check out Facebook and Instagram for upcoming live shows, music, and more. Thanks to the morning sickness for making us laugh every day and giving reflection a spin. Ladies and gentlemen, song number one for Palladio 2026 is Reflection by AG Session. 2 minutes, 36 seconds. So let's see if they can make it. It's 98 KUPD. Here we go.

[E]

Turn away cuz if I do then I make that change Only the P. Till man shall pass do you lean down on your knees? Down on your knees? The world is high? You believe? Do you believe?

[D]

Oh, man. We got rid of them. We got rid of them fast. All right, Brett, I'll start with you. Ag Session. Why did you gong it so. Or why did you do that?

[B]

So, you know, at first, like, musically, I'm like, all right, it's kind of pop punky, and I'm not a big fan of it, but the music was okay. Singing left a little bit to be desired for me. No. And then Toledo said, same thing. Is that a new singer for the band?

[D]

I'm not sure they've been in this before, and I don't.

[B]

That's what I'm saying, though.

[F]

Yeah, I don't remember. The vocals are kind of weird, and I just thought it was kind of messy.

[D]

Yeah, well, that's because the drummer is off time. Like, almost the entire song. Ag Session sounded also very friend's theme song. Yeah, I said that. I was like, oh, good call. You guys can chime in on our Facebook and our. And my homework@98KUPD account.

[B]

Apparently, it's crap 182.

[D]

All right, stop it. All right, let's. It's not too early to start that. That's day two behavior. You guys, knock it off. Don't do that yet. Although that was hilarious. Don't do that again. That says, I want to hear that song again, but after the singer's balls drop. All right, guys. Ryan, that's enough. They were the first ones in. Yeah, I just think someone needs to get your drummer a metronome or a click track that seemed like he was. Brady said sloppy. I think that's A good way to put it. Not that he can't play drums. He just can't stay on time. And a lot of drummers have that problem. One is named Lars Ulrich. He's horrible.

[B]

He made it work for himself, dude.

[E]

For the.

[D]

For Allison Change. Sean Kenny struggles to stay on time. And it. And it works. So it can work. You don't have to be pitch perfect and, like, right on. But you have to. That song's just not also. That's good. All right, so I give that one. Just because they're first out of the gate and they took the first two punches. I'm gonna give them a four. I'll go with that, Brady.

[E]

Four.

[D]

All right. All right. Thank you, Ag Session. We appreciate you, but we didn't like the song very much. This one says, put them on 93.3. And you know why? No, that's not true. It just. It sounded dated and messy. All right, Number two is a band called One Star Night. And the song is called Piss Ball Pete. Here's their bio. Band name One Star Night song Piss Ball Pete. Bio. Justin on vocals and bass, Jacob on guitar, Josh on drums. Let's rock.

[B]

I like that to the point.

[D]

You're really gonna like this. The song is 16 seconds long. I like that a lot. All right, here we go. Here's Piss Ball Pete from One Star Night. The band is one star. Let's see what they get. They're gonna make it through all the way, I guarantee you. Piss ball Pete for 16 seconds. Let's go.

[G]

Let me tell you a story. A man named Piss Ball Pete is neck so smiley pissed on his ball.

[E]

10.

[D]

This is the best Playdoh song I've ever heard. Oh, my God.

[F]

My favorite 16 second song.

[G]

Let me tell you a story. A man named Piss Ball beat his neck so small he pissed on his ball.

[E]

All right.

[D]

I have no critique of this song. It could have been a little shorter. That's all drug on. A little nice work for no reason at all. I don't even know what to do with the score on that, but I'm going to give it a seven.

[B]

I'll go with six.

[D]

All right.

[F]

I'll go seven.

[D]

All right. They might be there tomorrow, and that would make tomorrow even better.

[F]

Makes me want to hear a little more.

[D]

Yeah. You know what the. The error that so many bands make. You go get on with it. These guys are like, what else you got? I'm impressed with that. Nicely done. Piss Ball Pete is. That's a champion song right there. I'm proud of it. I'm looking at everybody else still.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

That guy Kyle even says, I heard the same thing you heard by a freaking metronome. First band. They're 25 bucks.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

You got to get the timing right. You can't sit. And after you play a song, you should have a producer that. That puts a metronome on your track and says, guys, we're way off. Pro Tools. Yeah, Pro Tools will do it for you. Yeah. I don't know how to say this. Next man's name. Maguaro. Nobody knows Maguirel yeah, and they made a. They just sent a picture of a bong they made out of a couple of. It's this. The song is called Dirt Bag and it says it's got references to waterhole and power line parties even.

[A]

I don't know what that means.

[D]

Maguaro, is that some sort of weed reference? I don't understand.

[A]

No idea.

[E]

It looks like.

[D]

Did you look it up real quick?

[B]

Ryan says about Piss Ball Pete winner end it now. No need to hear the other 38.

[D]

Yeah, it's. They are good. It says. Yeah. Kyle says, what the hell is that? It's the first time you've ever played a Paleo song twice. And I liked it both times. It's true. All right, let's try with Maguire. They are substantially longer than the Piss Ball Pete song by almost three full minutes. It's a lot of nerve when you realize that winning this thing. The 16th. Can you imagine if they just redid that for a theme song? Maguire song is called Dirtbag. Let's see what they've got. It's Plato. It's 98 KUPD.

[E]

Concrete seat completed desert disappearing fast. That top is camping Back holes where the ice reside Made a purple dragon wagon it's middle midnight sky. Moving it low SP in the diamond shine as we rise sun.

[F]

I don't want to hear that word here again.

[D]

Have you ever heard of Timbuk3?

[A]

Oh, my God.

[D]

Do you remember Timbuk3? Future so bright Gotta wear shades. That's immediately what I heard when he started. I heard Timbuk3. Future so bright gotta wear shades.

[E]

Ah.

[F]

Just didn't have enough chutzpah. Just kind of flat. It was definitely stone or rock.

[D]

Not by today's standards of stoner rock. It was just. It was just.

[B]

It sounded like early Kiss. Like those.

[D]

Album. I was gonna give him a five, but you just made it a four. Boy, oh boy, oh boy. Hear the words you say sometimes.

[A]

I mean, who talks like that?

[D]

[E]

Four. Four. That's what I did.

[F]

Five.

[D]

Five. All right, that's generous. All right, let's try another one. We're moving fast. Next one is Demonic. They have a K Where the sea goes. They've been in several. Yeah, Demonic's played before.

[A]

Either fourth or fifth time.

[D]

Demonic is back. It says Eric Adams, DJ the Mayor. Huh? Oh, is that. The former mayor of New York was Eric Adams.

[E]

You're right.

[D]

DJ Steven Seward is on vocals. Lyle Berryman is on drums. Our music is inspired by and full of Easter eggs and references from our favorite movies, video games and bands. This is my burial off of our album, the Industrial Nether Corps. The band is called Demonic Demonic. And if you want anything to do with this, you guys can. What's the thing? Just go on our Facebook. Is that what you're reading? And then the text. You can also text.

[B]

I'm guess I'm checking emails and stuff.

[D]

Yeah, text is 97936 and you guys can get your comments and be nicer. And somebody actually said, well, that's it. This is over. Piss Ball Pete just retire. It's Palladio person personified. It's exactly what we should want. Pistol Pete's in the clubhouse here. I liked him.

[A]

John, look ahead, look. Or look above. I think Three Eye Atlas is coming in. Depending on this next song and whether or not it's a direct on Phoenix.

[D]

Somebody also said Brady's got a figured out the world. So the guy decides to go fully deaf right before Palladio, which is the smartest thing anybody's ever done. If you saw Brady and I this morning a little after 5am Outside, I was trying to get Brady to hold the door for me from a distance. Distance. And I was shouting at the top of my lungs like an old married couple.

[A]

And it's to. To give context, it's not a great distance.

[D]

It's 45ft. Yeah. Or yards, I should say. Yeah, I was gonna say 45 yards. 50 yards. Yeah. Open the door for me. Just staring. And I looked at him, I said.

[E]

Did you get that?

[D]

And he goes, I couldn't hear a thing. Like I was shouting at the top of my lungs.

[G]

Let me tell you a story. A man named Piss Ball beat his dick. So smiley pissed.

[D]

They're gonna win.

[B]

I'm gonna change my score too.

[D]

All right, well, you guys give it.

[F]

I'm going eight.

[B]

Yeah, I'm going eight, too. I'm too.

[D]

That's three eights. I like it. The more and more I'm away from it. All right. Demonic is number four. Boy, did you guys single handedly dismiss. It's the tush push of Paleo. It can't be stopped. It's just. Damn it. Demonic is my burial is the name of the. Is the song. Let's see what they've got going. It's a play deal.

[E]

Personal pain.

[D]

Never mind what I had just said Suicidal thoughts in me My mind's red Getting comprehended While the world burns and we're stuck again. All right, we've all checked out on that one as well. And Demonic song's called My Burial.

[E]

Jesus.

[A]

Fast and Furious 12 just came out with their soundtrack.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. Jason says, after all these years, when will a band learn to cut down the intro a little for radio? Even while we're off the air, Brett's like, jesus, get on with it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There is A little three changes in it.

[D]

You are an unknown band. You have not earned the right for us to wait for you. And again, the one of the reasons this started is because bands kept. Like local bands think that they can submit this journey for 28, 30 seconds. Program directors, music companies, everything else gives your song about seven seconds to grab them. That's it. You've done it. Yeah. You haven't earned that. So you have to understand, if it doesn't jump out of the gates and get you, no one's going to like it. Right off the bat.

[E]

It's new.

[D]

People don't waste their time with new. Way too long an intro. And then his voice had no authority.

[B]

Not for the song.

[D]

Not for that song.

[F]

It seemed cramming it in there.

[D]

Yeah, it might have been shoehorned in a little. And I think that's more that his, his voice was just like. Like just some dude at Circle K talking to you over a song.

[A]

John, I swear to God, you're gonna force my hand. I'm gonna call the Bobs and they're gonna get a hold of their lawyers, and I'm gonna make sure that Katie and the Hobbs are returning for 2026. Because this cannot be the way this ends.

[D]

Oh, but it can.

[G]

Let me tell you a story. A man named Piss Poppy's dick. So Smiley pissed on his ball.

[D]

Come on.

[B]

We all changed our votes.

[D]

Actually, I changed it to a nine anyhow. Yeah, I, I.

[F]

It's Prodigy.

[D]

Demonic's good. It's Prodigy. But the singer sounds like your teenage son.

[B]

That's what Crandall said. I said drum track. Solid Fire Starter was already made, though.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah, it's. Yeah, it's.

[B]

When did demons go gay and techno stop?

[D]

Just. Yeah, that's the only thing. A lot of times band like, the guy's got good lyrics, the song was put together well, and then the voice just doesn't match. Maybe that's it. It's less authority. It just didn't match. It felt softer. Get to it quicker.

[A]

So this is why the Neutron movie did so poorly.

[D]

Because Trent let his son sing. I'll give it a five, because it actually is.

[F]

I'm a five.

[D]

Well done.

[B]

But I'm a four.

[D]

All right, we'll try one more. Our last laugh. And then we'll take a break. Is that right?

[B]

Yep. What are we in the movie Blade now? What is that?

[E]

This? Yeah.

[D]

People. People are mean, right?

[A]

Not Blade runner.

[E]

Blade.

[F]

Blade.

[D]

Five four. This is demonic. It says this is 93.3 goth twink champ. John's neighbors had this playing on Halloween. That is just no reason to bring Michael and Troy into this. This one. Let's get what you got. Prodigy is rebranded as Prodigy. Lil Prodigy. Hey, it's Lil Prodigy.

[E]

Wow.

[D]

I thought I hated Demonic because of their effing nerd ways of describing their Easter eggs and putting a K. And then I heard their song. That's why I hate them. All right. There's no reason to be mean.

[A]

I didn't mind Powerman499.

[D]

Ouch.

[E]

That's funny.

[D]

This one's good too. Teemu. Prodigy. This one says I'm hiring Piss Ball Pete for my Christmas party. If they win, I'm gonna have to rearrange my schedule Tuesday. I need to hear that song live. Yeah, this song sounds like when Brady eats Taco Bell and his body starts to process the food before it all turns into Brady Diarrhea. All right, it wasn't that bad. Next band is called Our Last Laugh. And by the way, it's easy to lay on the couch and yell at these guys. Everybody's putting forth an effort. And you know what? We're that group of people who aren't your friends. We're doing what people do when they don't know you to your songs. Your friends love you, your family loves you. Nobody's gonna be honest with you. So this is. Take it for what it is. Yeah. Follow your dreams for sure. But listen, when people say, here's the reason your dream's dying, man, John, you.

[A]

Really hate to see the tariffs affecting industrial music so badly.

[D]

Trump ruined him. I'm terrifying. Prodigy. Timu Chinese Prodigy. I won't have it. This is our Last laugh. It's a four piece band from Phoenix, mixing the best of hard rock and pop punk. James Rivas leads the vocals. David Nunez shreds on guitar. Henry Cota Jr. Holds down the bass. And Eric Amparan keeps it tight on drums. Loud shows, catchy hooks, honest lyrics. That's what we are about. Popular Disaster is the second single to be released in December. I don't know what your first one was, so let's not start talking about your second release.

[B]

I hate when they describe the guitar shredding.

[D]

All right, all right. Well, maybe he shreds.

[B]

Okay, Yngwie, leave the superlatives.

[E]

All right.

[D]

No, yeah, exactly.

[E]

That's what I'm saying.

[D]

We're still early in the process. I still have a great positive attitude.

[E]

Brett.

[D]

Pistol Pete happened. Come on, man.

[A]

For the record, I just saw a car accident somehow less horrible than demonic.

[D]

There Were several deaths. All right, here we go. This one is our last laugh. It is popular disaster. That's the song, right?

[B]

With shredding.

[D]

And they're gonna shred. And Brett already hates it because they said shredding.

[H]

All right, here we go.

[D]

It's our last laugh. Good luck to our last laugh.

[E]

It seems these feelings have changed me I am overwhelmed Fighting urges to say things I become undone and now I'm starting to change Just to fit the need and now I'm starting to feel the way I should have felt so why do we change? Change? We're not the same we're not the same so why do we change? It's just a blissful feel. And now it's become so trendy all the things you need Buying things for the glam Things you and now you spend and you spend because of all your greed for all the things that you want I feel like I've been.

[D]

Standing in the hut. Still going. Damn.

[F]

I was looking for your shredding, Brett.

[B]

We couldn't find it either.

[D]

Yeah.

[F]

It'S kind of flat.

[D]

I wanted it to go somewhere. It just didn't. Brett or Brady? I'll go with you. People are accusing Brady that we influence your score. So they want you to always score first.

[E]

Okay.

[F]

Five.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Well, Brady influenced me because that's what I was going to go with, too.

[D]

Yeah, I was going to go about there, too.

[E]

Do.

[D]

It's not a. It wasn't horrible, but just didn't do anything.

[H]

Yeah.

[B]

It was just there.

[D]

I think there's, like.

[E]

I don't know.

[D]

It was a thing. Shouldn't we have a little dandar? Let's have a dandar break. And then, of course, the solid memories of Ouch. My balls. From Fausti.

[E]

I'm searching.

[D]

Gems from the past.

[F]

Every time I hear this, I'm trying to get in. Morning wake up song. How would he do that?

[D]

Annoyingly.

[E]

Every year.

[D]

Now let's go roller skating. Still probably would win this year.

[B]

We got Blood Eagle army in there.

[D]

Still no.

[B]

Oh, damn it.

[D]

I won't do it.

[E]

I have it.

[D]

I have to dig it up. All right, all right. We got get to the chopper. Is that right?

[E]

Yep.

[D]

Get to the chopper. Withering heat and Magian mood coming up in just a little bit. And so far, we have a clear cut favorite. I can play it a lot.

[G]

So Smiley pissed on his ball.

[D]

I already know all the words.

[E]

Power.

[D]

Excellent work. One star Knight is crushing it right now. All right, played is in full swing. Sorry. Arizona's most powerful rock media station, he said, fully erect.
