B
You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you?
A
That doesn't mean we're on time or anything. Just sounds good when I say it. And it's time now for Brady to give you all the news that only he knows. Before that, a little Christmas spirit. I just got an email from Jim Lord. Says I own a sea construction company, general and electrical contractor. Specializes in roofing but do anything anyway. I typically don't go out on the field or carry stuff, but yesterday my guys needed a 24 foot extension ladder and I said I deliver it to them in my personal truck. I have a bed extender. I put it on there and stupidly tied the ladder to the extender with a bungee cord thinking I'm Emily going for a couple miles. This won't be a big deal. Needless to say, the ladder came off on the on ramp I17 and Northern going south. I couldn't stop and get it. I had to turn around the long way. By the time I got back it was neatly stacked in the Gore point along with a roller magnet. I didn't realize that had fallen out only thing I could think of there was a large truck behind me and the guys inside must have been Christmas elves. As the total the equipment is probably worth about 500 bucks. I'm betting they listen to you and I wanted to thank them. So I'm donating $500 today to Lost Our Home Pet rescue. Wow. In their honor. And I don't even know them. I planned between. I had planned between Bethany home on my way back to Northern that I was going to go pick up the smashed ladder. But since it was all intact, I figured my stupidity plus this person being cool must be repaid in some way. So Jim's handed money over to a charity for the kind little elves that made it so his. His stupid ladders problem. That Jim Manley. No. You know what? I wonder if Jim Manley's the one who stacked the ladder. Though he probably was. Jim Manley probably woke up from a dead sleep. Jim Lord's in trouble and I have to help. And he drove to the ladder and he put it to the side. Or he bought a new ladder and placed it over there and jumps his phone booth changes into his outfit and.
B
A red bow on it.
A
It's nice, man. Maybe let's say that Jim Manley was the guy driving the truck that fixed Jim Lord's dumb problem. And Jim, you know better than that. Strapping 24 foot ladders in a personal truck with bungee cords.
B
The Lord never makes mistakes.
A
Well, not Jim Lord. The Lord Lord makes loads of them crazy. So there. It's a nice little story. Nice little Christmas story. Nobody got hurt. You didn't hear about it. Dudes got out, put the ladder to the side. A roller magnet. You just had that bat. That thing was. This is just a treasure trove of garbage you had floating around back there. Jim, you say you run that company. Act like it there. I've. He's been admonished. But that's excellent. Thank you for doing that. And that's a nice thing to do. See. Comes from the heart. Feel like you got to pay it back a little bit. That's pretty nice. It is time now for Brady to give you all the news that only Brady knows. We call this the Brady Report and it's brought to you by our friends at all pro shade allprochade.com great holiday thing to do as you got people coming over and do everything else.

B
Good Tuesday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello world.
A
Hi.
B
Happy National Skip School Day, National Fritter Day, National Bartender Day and Giving Tuesday.
A
Give to your bartenders. You know what? Go to Local Legends and drop off for Operation Santa Claus. That's right. There's no force feeding. There's nobody there making you feel guilty. Just drop off inside of Local Legends. Then you're taking care of the bartenders at the bar. Yep. You knock out a couple of things. That's nice. Giving Tuesday Bartender Day. All three in one shot. Have a fritter along the way and ditch school.
B
Couple of basis fun facts. A struggling poet named Eliza Acton wrote the very first modern cookbook in 1845, introducing the concept of listing ingredients, their quantities and cooking times for common use in home kitchens. The book was called Modern Cookery for Private Families. It featured the first recipes in English for Brussels sprouts, spaghetti.
A
Are there public families?
B
And Christmas pudding, which is basically plum pudding.
A
Plum pudding. Never had that.
B
Never had it either.
A
I've heard about it.
B
At least 8 out of 10Americans don't allow smoking in their homes. That's double from what it was 30 years ago.
A
Wow.
B
The states with the highest percentage of adult smokers, West Virginia number one, 25%.
A
Chicago's got to be up. Midwest smokes still.
B
Kentucky's 23.4%.
A
Hillbillies love it.
B
The states with the lowest, Utah, 9%. Then it's California at 11.2%.
A
That's amazing. California is only at 11%. It's 33 million people there. That's a small number. You'd think that, you know, just on the pure sheer volume of people that they would have a lot more smokers. They've made it so hard to smoke in that state.
B
When Sasha Baron Cohen is speaking Kashik. And Borat, he's actually speaking Hebrew, which is intentionally ironic since Borat says so many anti Semitic things. WalletHub just did its list of the 10 most fun cities in America. It's based on 65 different metrics, including how many bars, restaurants and festivals there are. According to the Results, the top 10 Las Vegas, Orlando, Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, San Francisco, Austin, Portland, Oregon and Cincinnati.
A
It's a lot of cities.
B
Phoenix came in a 28 somewhere in there.
A
By the way, skip school and tip your bartender is also the motto at the Tempe Tavern. So if you're interested.
B
Oxford Dictionary's word of the year, it's actually two words. Rage bait.
A
Why did that go?
B
The reason they chose that, because it's tripled in use in the last year. So it leads the pack.
A
They know what we're saying that much? Rage bait. I don't mind that one. That's a real thing. There is rage bait out there. And it started yesterday. Chris said, geez, that story reminded me yesterday at Northern and I17, I got hit by a 24 foot ladder that fell out of a guy's truck and this dude owes me 500 bucks. Well, his name is Chris Parker and Jim Lord, Jim Manley will cover the bill for you. Wonder if it was just a goof that the guy that was behind him hit the ladder and didn't do any damage and it moved it over on its own. Either way, lost your home. Pet rescue wins.
B
A study on depression. They had good results using laughing gas to treat depression. Well, sure, rather than Prozac and. But the long lasting, I mean as far as immediate, it lasted up to a week afterwards.
A
Having a couple treatments of pumping laughing gas into people. Yeah, they're laughing at their pain. It doesn't seem so bad. Have you ever been on laughing gas? It's a great couple hours. Nothing bothers you because everything seems kind of. It's almost like being tickled internally. You don't laugh the whole time. You kind of just go. It's not like a real Chuckle Hut festival, but I could. Yeah. They haven't tried laughing gas for depression. It's in the name. How did that slip through the cracks? We have wacky crazy fun time pills, but we haven't given those to the depressed yet. We haven't? Why? I hadn't thought of it. I did it when Dr. Lynn was down there. Laughing gas. Did you get the gas? Oh, yeah. I didn't. I stayed sober. No way.
B
And I think they're administering it, not at a full blown like you're going to the dentist or Dr. Lynn's. They're doing little.
A
They're not giving you like, you know, brainwave treatment.
B
They're just kind of several times a week has a lasting effect. So it might help people that, you know that Prozac or Zoloft's not working.
A
I had in my brain just assumed laughing gas when they invented it. And it's like it makes you laugh like crazy. Someone would have said let's give it to depressed people and see if it helps. But we haven't done that till 2025. That seems like a wasted gap of time. Somebody who was depressed should have said can I have some laughing gas at one point. Of course it's going to help. If you're happy and you have sad gas, it's going to do that.
B
They don't want to laugh.
A
Laughing gas didn't work at all.
B
They say the Prozac and Zoloft is effective. Between 30 to 50% of the people.
A
That take that just numbs you.
B
Makes you a zombie.
A
Yeah, you don't feel anything so you can't be depressed. Laughing gas is fun. They should give those depressed people cocaine. They'd have a blast on that stuff. Then it wears off and you get depressed again. So you gotta keep cycle going, guys.
B
Hey Peter, here's your bump.
A
And yeah, each day you gotta bump up and sometimes it starts to wear off. So you gotta double your dose. Eventually you're not gonna be depressed, you're just gonna be poor.
B
Pete Lee says, here, here's your little toot.
A
Yeah, take a toot. Everybody who says that, that's terrible. You're saying give a depressed person drugs. It's the whole story. Trying to find which drugs work on depressed people.
B
By the way, look at all the kids that are out there right now.
A
Give them some coke, Toledo. I agree with Toledo. What he's saying, give those kids a little cocaine. I'm tired of the hypocrisy of like I can't believe you would suggest cocaine for a depressed person. We were just talking about eight drugs that have and have not worked on depressed people. And the one that I bring up, yeah, that's cocaine though. They're all bad. They're drugs.
B
This 67 year old dude from China was experiencing stomach problems and bloating. It all started about a month ago, broding and so he went to the doctors, they ran some scans. They noticed a foreign object in his stomach. Had trouble figuring out what it was. So they performed emergency procedure, but they had trouble getting it out because it was smooth and slippery the exterior. So they couldn't get a hold of it. They basically had to bag it, like net the object in there because it was slimy. Wait, the dude figured out what it was. He's like, oh, yeah. Thirty years ago, I was out drinking.
A
He knew the whole time.
B
30 and I swallowed a lighter on a dare. He knew he was on the Goliath Expedition.
A
He knew. He knew he had that lighter stuck in him. He went to the doctor next.
B
He just assumed to pass through his system.
A
Oh, is that still in there?
B
Oh.
A
Oh, who knows? What a surprise. I don't know. Is the rider still there? Wow. It's crazy, huh? It was your boy, Chuck. Yeah, maybe it was golfing. I golf a guy, eat a rider. We had a good time. I didn't think you'd still there. Still there. Tummy hurt. I got brooding John holmberg's morning sickness. The 98 kupd. It's just John Holbrook from the morning sickness.

B
Once it was removed, doctors saw it had been corroded by the stomach acid, but it still had gas inside and it still worked.
A
I wish Chinese people didn't have their own language but still had the accent. Oh, because I just want to hear one go. Oh my Tommy hurts. I just like our words in their Language is better. I've never once heard them do, like, a stereotypical American accent with gibberish like we do, you know, because we're always going, we're not saying anything. But I wonder if they're just like, hamburger, hamburger, chicken, steak, French fry, Coca Cola. My guess, yes, I think they do, but Texas real. But we do it all the time. Yeah, take that grill. That's the thing they say. Oh, look at me. Everything Big Tick says, grill, chang, twa, pli, pla, sing, pochi. No, those are your words. That's what you do to us. You know, make one for us. I wonder what we're saying, though. We got to be hitting a few of them, right? I'm saying something. All right. Somebody goes, hey, your pants are cuffed. Yeah. Yeah, somebody's saying something. K Pop rules. I watched enough squid games to know.
B
Yeah, I picked up a.
A
Well, all you got to do is finish every sentence in Korean. Their last word is always like, somebody just slow motion gut punched them. Not wrong.
B
Two more things. The first one, John, you're gonna be really excited about.
A
Okay.
B
Amazon is testing ultra fast deliveries and two markets, Seattle and Philadelphia.
A
Oh, that's not going to help me.
B
Well, if it goes well, we're going to open it up in other markets.
A
Right.
B
Front door delivery in 30 minutes.
A
That sounds dirty. What about backdoor delivery? Yeah, give me some backdoor delivery. How much that. 35 minutes.
B
Talked about that earlier in the show.
A
Actually, backdoor delivery. I can do a lot faster. I tend to get more excited about backdoor delivery than I do front door delivery.
B
Ultra fast delivery. We heard you and Brett. You'll be excited.
A
30 minutes from the order. Yeah, from the second you say go.
B
Yep.
A
You can get something in your house in 30.
B
30 minutes.
A
That's not ultra fast. That's supersonic. That's hypersonic. How?
B
They've figured out a way. Certain household items that they believe they can get from.
A
So there's just like, a little tiny list of things you can. That's not everything.
B
Yeah, it's not. Yeah, if you. I was going to say an anvil, but I wasn't sure.
A
You know, they don't want to order. Why would you need that? They would just text back, like, f you. So the question mark, why go get.
B
It yourself if you're not a prime member?
A
Yeah.
B
It'll start at 1399 per order. If you're a prime member, we'll charge you 3.99, a small basket fee of $1.99. But it's 30 added to orders below 15 bucks.
A
Yeah, but it's fine. You could add $20 to it if I'm getting it in 30 minutes. I'll take. I'll get. I was gonna tip you 20 anyway. And it's just a drone.
B
And Brad, I know you'll be excited about this. It starts today. Burger King's SpongeBob SquarePants meal.
A
What is it?
B
SpongeBob's Krabby Whopper? Mr. Krabs Cheesy Bacon Tots?
A
Is there crab on it?
B
Patrick's Starberry Shortcake Pie. Oh, and Pirates Frozen Pineapple Float.
A
Aren't starberries an actual thing? They're starfruit. Right.
B
Star fruit.
A
Yeah, it's not a berry.
B
It's big star fruits.
A
So are these is Patrick's a and it comes in strawberry and they're just being cute, or is it actually star fruits? So it's just a Whopper?
B
Yeah. Even Brady's underwater.
A
Just a Whopper. You get some toys. Stimulating. By the way, we just got a report said I saw those elves on the side of the road moving that ladder. But I am quick to tell you they weren't actually elves. They're Mexicans. And none of them are over five feet. So it just appeared that they were elves. That is true. When the Mexicans are running around the freeway, it does look like Santa's. Santa's crew got out there. Especially when they're standing next to an F350. Really? It shrinks them, man. All right. What do you got?
B
A couple of Brandy videos. First one's at a zoo, and this lady's looking at a big silverback male gorilla.
A
Oh, boy. Oh, it's between the glass.
B
Brady got it.
A
I love.
B
Yeah.
A
And zoo gorillas get mad at people. Gorillas. Oh, Brady.
B
That's real.
A
He just took a big crap on the wall.
B
No, he didn't. It's AI that is so stupid. I've seen it.
A
You haven't. Well, maybe because Brady feeds him stuff.
B
One more time, Brett.
A
Sure, why not? It was so good the first time. Come on.
B
Don't worry.
A
There we go. He pooped on the window and it was liquid splatter.
B
It's a perfect star.
A
Yeah, it's amazing. He knows I'm not impressed. Yeah, walk away, big guy.
B
Performance art.
A
Better the more I see it. Yeah. All right. This will be good, though, guys.
B
Eating a bunch of earthworms.
A
Oh, it's a night crawlers. Like a Cambodian dude eating worms. Oh, my God. He's chowing down on some big ass worms.
B
And he's not.
A
Oh. Toledo's next summer vacation.
B
Brett. Look at it. No.
A
Look at this slob. It's because of his. The worms all over his face. God damn you. I'd be Karen Carpenter of Cambodia there. No way. Yeah. You and me be like those. Like Ariana Grande and her friend from Wicked would just be the two skinniest people walking around hugging each other every time the wind blew. But. Are you cold?
B
I think the wind's gonna blow us away.
A
I've never had a friend like you. Let's not eat ever again.
B
The last real animal attack. Not real.
A
Okay. Are we watching? I'm not watching. Another AI thing. Tiger.
B
He's about six. Look at her. Her hand is fine.
A
When she pulls it away. Pulls it away? There's no blood. The tiger's chewing on her.
B
It stopped immediately.
A
What's wrong with you?
B
Christ.
A
All right, Brett. Get to the real stuff. All right. Come on. Yeah. I can't watch Asian people eat their worms like that. I can't do it. I'm with you. If someone or another. We got dropped off into one of Toledo's paradises.
B
It could have been Hispanic. That guy.
A
That guy wasn't Hispanic. They don't eat worms. They got tamales. Yeah, they got tamales. Actually, I'd have the word. I'll have a plate of worms, please.
B
He got that at the Cupo. Worms.
A
Yeah, I know what they got. We'll just start out with some clown cancer for you. Just.
B
Whoa.
A
Holy smokes. This girl's clown butt. Way overdone. Her surgeries on her ass and her breasts.
B
No way she's still alive. Those are. I'm just shocked.
A
There's no finish. That's just clown. Cans of clown ass. Boobs are basketball sized under the skin. That is.
B
Can't be comfortable.
A
Right?
B
Yeah. Poor AI.
A
All right. You calm down because you blew it. Don't wreck it for everyone else. Look at this. What is going on with her ass?
B
It's.
A
I can't even describe what it is. It's two king size pillows. Huge pillows. I don't know if we.
B
Is there a doctor out there that.
A
Will say no and not in certain countries? No. And I don't know that the word doctors really involved when you're looking at that. All right.
B
All right.
A
Some guy who happened to get a hold of two gargantuan implant bags and filled them up with garden water. I don't know if we've seen this, but I guess this is what happens when the husband comes home early. Oh, we're in a fifth or sixth floor or something, maybe higher. We're looking at a balcony from across the way. And oh, he's running out the bedroom and he's hanging down and he's going floor to floor by balcony. He's dangling over the next floor. Oh, he. Oh, he falls into the balcony beneath. He jumps off of that one. It didn't look like a good landing, but he's going to keep going downstairs through the outside. Oh, he jumps onto the next balcony he's on. Now he's illegally on someone else's balcony two floors down from when he was having the illicit affair from upstairs. He's now walking that balcony. He's looking at the next one out there. Nope, he's going to jump over. Over this one. Oh, he's trying to kick the door in of the balcony he's on. He's got to go to the next one. He's got a good lock on that door.
B
Furniture in the way in the one below.
A
We'll see. I think he's got something going. The Mission Impossible music tells me he's not done. He's got his flipping over doing the exact same move. This ends badly. Oh, no. It was like a 30 story building. I thought we were about four or five floors up. This dude took a risk from floor 27 and he missed the next balcony. And doubt he went. I didn't know he was taking that kind of risk from the other floors. Oh, my goodness. All right, well, that teaches everybody anything if you're going to have an affair. Ranch style homes only.
B
Yeah.
A
No high rise. Don't bang a girl in a high rise. Good lord. When her husband comes home, you've got a lot of work to do. Oh, here's a naked lady. The kicker from the Giants last night. Could have taken lessons from these ladies. Lady just kicked the guy square in the nuts. Oh, her friend just kicked him and now she kicked him. Oh, what a terrible choice of tattoos this woman has on her ass too.
B
Oh.
A
Oh, my God. That's a foot to the testicles. Oh, good lord. All right. What are you gonna do? You're lucky it's theater of the mind, everybody, because that's tough to watch. And then there's a clip to Jeffrey Dahmer talking about, take some pictures. Now it's on Jeffrey Dahmer's tv. That actually took kind of a funny turn. All right, all right. And we'll just end with this. All right. I got no words. All right, There's a lady with two fingers in her body. Nope.
B
She's got a junk. Got a.
A
In her breathing. And then something green's coming out of her butt breathing. It's water. Pulling it out now. I don't think that's a while. Water wiggle. What is that? What is that? What is that thing? It's a big rubber sex toy. But look how long that thing is. Three and a half feet. And it just keeps. She's tiny, too. Yeah. I don't know what that is. And it just keeps coming out of her. How did she get it in there? I don't know.
B
Just.
A
Just feeding and feeding. It's like trying to roll up a hose.
B
Yeah.
A
That's all we got. All right. Great job.
B
Good skills.
A
Hey, I guess he's been practicing. You start with little things, and then you move up to the three and a half foot Limp Dildo. Limp Dildo is a good band name. Limp Dildo is my favorite band name of the year so far. We're gonna recap some of the Palladio bands that are. Well, the ones that are playing tonight, for sure. Our finalists, to remind you guys of what you're walking into tonight as we have the Palladio Live event down at Copper Blues. Just for fun and goofs and stuff. Should be a blast. We'll do that next. It's 98 Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.
Episode: 12-02-25 - BR - TUE - Study Finds Laughing Gas Helps w/Depression - 67yo Chinese Man Had Lighter In Bowels For Years - Amazon Testing Ultra Fast Delivery
Date: December 2, 2025
Host: John Holmberg
Co-hosts: Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo
This morning episode dives into odd news and banter in the signature irreverent style of Holmberg and crew. Key discussions include a study on using laughing gas to treat depression, the bizarre case of a Chinese man with a lighter in his gut for decades, and Amazon's pilot of ultra-fast 30-minute deliveries. The team also riffs on current trivia, viral videos, and listener stories, keeping things lively and offbeat throughout.
Listener Story: Jim Lord, a contractor, recounts accidentally losing a $500 ladder and roller magnet from his truck. Miraculously, someone stacked them neatly by the roadside (01:20).
Jim thanks the mystery helpers by donating $500 to Lost Our Home Pet Rescue. The crew jokes about possible “Christmas elves” being responsible (03:08).
The gang injects humor, suggesting Jim Manley (another community member) went out of his way to help.
Notable Quote – John Holmberg (03:10):
“Maybe let’s say that Jim Manley was the guy driving the truck that fixed Jim Lord’s dumb problem. And Jim, you know better than that. Strapping 24-foot ladders in a personal truck with bungee cords…”
Brady delivers trivia and announces it’s National Skip School Day, National Fritter Day, National Bartender Day & Giving Tuesday (04:56).
Historical note: Eliza Acton wrote the first modern cookbook in 1845, introducing ingredient lists and cooking times (05:33).
Smoking stats: Utah has the lowest adult smoker rate (9%), West Virginia the highest (25%) (06:36).
“Rage bait” is Oxford Dictionary’s word of the year, capturing the rise of outrage-inducing online content (08:02).
Memorable Banter – John (08:21):
“There is rage bait out there. And it started yesterday…”
News: A new study finds laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is effective in treating depression, providing relief that can last up to a week per treatment (09:00).
Discussion on how surprising it is that this hasn’t been tried sooner, given its mood-elevating properties.
Debate over traditional antidepressants (Prozac, Zoloft) vs. laughing gas, jokingly suggesting other drugs could work too (10:22).
Key Quote – John Holmberg (10:22):
“I had in my brain just assumed laughing gas, when they invented it, someone would have said, ‘Let’s give it to depressed people and see if it helps.’ But we haven’t done that till 2025. That seems like a wasted gap of time.”
The hosts toy with the idea of “just giving everyone cocaine,” lampooning the endless trial of drugs for depression and the hypocrisy of drawing lines over which drugs are “acceptable” (11:13).
Story: In China, doctors discovered a 67-year-old man had a lighter in his stomach for over 30 years, swallowed on a dare while drinking (12:00).
Doctors struggled to remove it because it was smooth and slippery; they eventually netted it out. Miraculously, it still contained fuel and worked (14:23).
Funny Exchange – John & Brady (12:54, 14:33):
John: “‘Oh, is that still in there?’”
Brady: “Once it was removed, doctors saw it had been corroded by the stomach acid, but it still had gas inside and it still worked.”

The episode maintains its hallmark blend of irreverence, playfulness, and local humor. While some discussion edges on edgy satire, the hosts handle even bizarre or offbeat news with wit and rapid-fire banter. The medical and tech news sparks genuine curiosity, but it is the absurdity — from lost ladders to long-lost lighters and viral videos — that anchors the show’s unique appeal. This is a quintessential HMS episode, mixing Arizona flavor with an anything-goes comic sensibility.
