Episode Overview

This episode of "Holmberg's Morning Sickness" features lively banter about two big themes: wild and sometimes harrowing stories from listeners about being roofied or blacking out while drinking, and reactions to Shaquille O'Neal's recent comments about being in an abusive relationship with a woman. The hosts mix personal stories, listener emails, and comedic skepticism, especially regarding the plausibility of Shaq as the face of male domestic abuse.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Animal Rescue & Emotional Morning Starts

• The episode starts with John receiving a text about a dog set to be euthanized due to allergies, which leads to a side discussion about animal rescue, feelings of responsibility, and dark realities intruding on their morning comedy vibe.
  • [01:19] John: “I wake up to this. Will somebody go fix this? Please go in the humane side and go get that done. Just all of them, Please, just. Will someone adopt all of them? I've done my part. I'm trying.”

2. Listeners’ Blackout & Roofie Stories

• John and the crew discuss bizarre, often funny but sometimes disturbing listener stories involving possible roofie incidents or drinking blackout experiences.
• Holmberg’s own confusion about a night of mixing vodka sodas and Jameson, leading him to wonder if he was simply drunk or actually roofied.
  • [03:54] John: “This guy said he got poisoned and woke up in another state. It was just a hangover. Yeah. Could you imagine?”
• Brett and Brady chime in about “different drunks”—tequila, whiskey, or just bad mixes—versus the experience of being drugged.
  • [05:31] John: “There's different drunks. ...Yeah, this wasn't drunk. This was something else. This was a... What's going on?... That's different than like drunk.”
• Listeners email in with their own stories, including friends roofying each other as a prank in the '90s:
  • [08:19] John (reading a listener email): “Back in the late 90s... my older brother was real into drugs... would hit bars and secretly roofie each other just to mess with the other guy... Those stories are funny.”
• The hosts agree that true roofie blackouts feel notably different from regular drunkenness.

3. Drunk Escapades vs. Sober Observations

• The crew trade stories about drunken adventures, with Holmberg and Brett insisting they make for the best stories, while Brady, the token “sober guy,” is mocked for lacking these tales.
  • [07:03] John: “Unexpectedly waking up in another state, that's different. And the only way that happens is if you're roofied. You very rarely get so drunk just on drinking that you are...in another state.”
  • [07:58] John: “That's a good drunk story. ...Roofies are different.”
  • [11:27] John: “The fastest way to not want to drink is to be sober around people who are. ...But we're in the mix. It's good times.”

4. Shaquille O’Neal’s Claims of Domestic Abuse

• The tone shifts as the group discusses viral clips of Shaq claiming he was abused by a former girlfriend. The hosts dissect the idea from comedic and skeptical angles.
  • [16:29] John: “I do remember yesterday watching that...Shaquille O’Neal talked about abusive relationships and that he was in one. And he said his girlfriend, when he was younger, used to beat him up a lot. ...Come on.”
  • [17:41] John: “When he’s the spokesperson for abused men, nobody’s feeling bad at all. ...He said he was candid about being fearful of his military Father. That made sense... But he said he had a woman particularly scary in his youth... Says the most physically dominant giant in the league was once physically dominated by a girl about a third his size. No, he wasn’t. He just didn’t hit her back.”
• Holberg, Brady, and Larry riff on what would constitute a “legitimate” case of a giant superstar like Shaq being afraid or needing help; the consensus is that the image is so absurd it can only be the subject of jokes.
  • [17:57] Larry (joking as Shaq): “I want to be the face of male domestic violence.”
• The subject veers to other famous athletes or big men, including a discussion of which woman—if any—could plausibly pose a physical threat to Shaq, devolving into jokes about celebrities like Serena Williams, Ronda Rousey, and fictional tough women.
  • [27:54] John: “Chick hit you and you just leave. ...You shouldn’t be afraid of your girlfriend...Ronda Rousey had her whole face redecorated by a kick... She’s a very average fighter.”

5. Double Standards in Male vs. Female Domestic Abuse

• The crew addresses the uncomfortable truth that male victims of domestic violence—especially when the physical mismatch is extreme—get laughed at rather than sympathized with.
  • [34:29] John: “All I'm saying is. I know ...it's harder. And you can laugh about it, which means it's not that big a deal. Now flip that around to two women trying that same exact thing...Suddenly, it’s not funny. But when dudes get beat up. Hilarious.”
• Personal anecdotes, including Dick Toledo’s experience with an aggressive ex-wife, further illustrate how quickly such stories become jokes among men.
  • [34:56] John: “Toledo’s ex wife, remember when she...I asked him, she ever hit you? Because she used to get real loud. He just started crying, and then you and I started laughing and we went back to lunch.”

6. Listener Interactions & Email Bag

• Multiple listener emails are read on the air, ranging from jokes about self-roofying to stories of being attacked by partners or even stabbed (one man simply wrapped a stab wound and went about his business).
• Running jokes continue about "Big Mike," the stereotypical masculine woman, and a revolving-door list of women who might be a plausible threat to someone Shaq's size.
  • [39:34] John (reading): “I dated a crazy Italian chick who stabbed me in the hand. I wrapped it in a clean shirt and went about my day.”

7. Comic Relief, Callbacks & Closing

• The laughs continue as the hosts riff on unlikely male domestic violence shelters, the idea that “mental abuse” is actually the bigger threat for men (via Dateline references), and the comedic image of Shaq hiding from his tiny, fuming girlfriend.
  • [35:10] John: “You want to know how I know your business is going under is if you opened up a domestic violence shelter for men. It’s not gonna happen.”
• John circles back to his party blackout/roofie doubts, ending on an off-color but tongue-in-cheek note about not being attractive enough to have suffered any ill effects from being roofied.

Tone and Style

The tone is unmistakably irreverent, raw, and comedic—characteristic of the HMS show. The hosts weave genuine listener engagement with personal storytelling and relentless jokes, occasionally bordering on the inappropriate. Serious topics like drugging and abuse are filtered through a lens of shock humor, but the episode still provokes conversation about social double standards regarding male vulnerability and domestic violence.

---

For Listeners Who Missed It

If you missed this episode, expect sharp-tongued banter, no-holds-barred listener engagement, and some surprisingly frank takes on common social issues. Blacking out and “getting roofied” are played for laughs but also serve as a jumping-off point for discussing drinking culture and the limitations of empathy for male victims. Meanwhile, the group’s bemused take on Shaq’s abuse claims highlights the ongoing challenges in addressing male vulnerability with seriousness—even amongst themselves.

Listener discretion is advised: Explicit language, dark humor, and mature topics abound throughout the episode.

Baseline in Mesa or check out the website qualitycarsterioaz.com. you thought that was funny?

You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you?

Oh, my goodness. There's a. Yeah, well, thank you. Miles to nowhere. Get hit again. Megan texted me first thing in the morning, but now there's not trouble. She found a post of a dog that is being put down today because he's got allergies. It hasn't been adopted. I think it's at the humane study. Will someone please just go adopt this dog?

[Brett Vesely]

When you picking up your new dog?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I would. I have my dog who's just a butthole to new dogs. She'll bite. We can't introduce new dogs anymore and take the risk that it's gonna make that dog crazy. I got a possessive three legged older girl who's like, this is my pack and that's all we're doing. And now she. It's. It's not good. So I can't really risk it. But I don't know where she found this. You can look. It says Arizona Humane Society. That's who we're doing all that stuff with. We gotta, gotta fix it. Find Some shelter that'll help out, that'll make it so this. Allergies are no reason for that. Don't send me that stuff. I thought you should know while you're doing your wacky fun show that hundreds of dogs are put down every day. Oh, my God. Thank you, light. Thank you, brightest of lights.

[Brady]

Good morning.

[John Holmberg]

Good morning, everyone. There are many starving people and dogs are euthanized across the country at an unreasonable rate. Thanks. Wow. Ray of sunshine.

[Brady]

Thanks, Struthers.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, it's. It's not even 7am yet. Here's the worst thing you'll see all day. Wow. The day's only six and a half hours old. I was asleep for most of that. I wake up to this. Will somebody go fix this? Please go in the humane side and go get that done. Just all of them, Please, just. Will someone adopt all of them? I've done my part. I'm trying. Oh, sends a picture over. He's adorable. Crying out loud, doing cute things. Oh, make it stop. Look at that. Look at that face.

I don't need to see this. It's brutal. Anyway, and also, I'm getting all these emails from people who have been roofied in the past. It ain't pretty. One guy suggests that because I. And he is blaming Miles to Nowhere Katie and the Hobbs for putting me out, because he said if you mix Jameson and you were drinking something else. And he made a great point. I'm not much of a Jameson guy. He said, it's like an angry woman. You start looking at other drinks and she'll cut you. And I did. I had a couple. Nothing. I wasn't drinking a lot, but vodka soda is my elixir. So I had a couple of those and then did the Jameson pickleback thing.

So maybe that's what did it, because it was weird. I do. I do think I might have been leaning into that territory. This guy said he got poisoned and woke up in another state. It was just a hangover. Yeah. Could you imagine? I mean, I woke up across the town I didn't live in, and that was enough for me to get weirded out. But the people that woke me up, you know the Mexican ground crew that was at the San Jose park.

[Brady]

Excuse me.

[John Holmberg]

Were waking me to say, basically, is this him? Because the people that were looking for me were driving around in there. There's a guy asleep over there. Hey, wake up. And I believe I sang Feliz Kooplianos to that man until I realized I'd been rescued. Huh? What? Felice Copley Ano said to see. It's not my birthday, you see.

But yeah, these you people. Almost everybody listens. Evidently has been roofing. There's a lot of emails coming in. I got roofied once. I wonder how often it does happen and where do you get it? How do I not know anything?

You know, how do you even get.

[Brady]

Some of this stuff? Probably is the mix too of just multiple.

[John Holmberg]

Oh sure. But there's a difference. You don't. You're not a drinker. So you know when you've had a bad mix.

[Brady]

But I've heard every story in the brother. Like what am I missing here? I woke up in a different state. Oh man, you're missing out.

[John Holmberg]

You got to experience, Brady, please don't be a teetotaler at our expense. It's fun. We don't always wake up.

[Brady]

But here's what I've heard through the years.

Mental mind changing stuff. Alcohol, Tequila.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no.

[Brady]

I have numerous friends that say, oh, tequila I got.

[John Holmberg]

There's different drunks. Goldslauger and some of the Jack you get into some of them whiskeys. Yeah. They'll start screwing around with how you get drunk. Yeah, this wasn't drunk. This was something else. This was a. What's going on? Like you're. When you're drunk, you're unaware that you're about to go out. You're like, oh man, I did too. You like you. The next day is usually when you're like, oh, last night I'm like, something's really wrong. Like, this isn't a normal drinking feeling. That's different than like drunk. And yeah, it is fun sometimes to wake up in another state. I already have a mother, Brady. Thank you. We enjoy drinking, don't we, Brett? So we wake up. What do you have?

[Brady]

I said some things.

[John Holmberg]

You want to know what a fun person says?

[Brett Vesely]

Alcohol.

[John Holmberg]

You know, a fun person says, watch this, Brett. What happens if you get really drunk and whatever and you wake up in New Mexico? What happens to you? What is the thing you walk away with?

[Brett Vesely]

What do you mean?

[John Holmberg]

A fantastic story is other than being in New Mexico. Yes, and that's the thing. You're way back as part of the story now. Great story. The only thing you got to deal with guys like this Mr. Killjoy. A lot of fun. That's why I don't. Nobody wants to hear it. For crying out, Mr. Killjoy. Mr. Those people who are pious religious folks. You want to tell me all that stuff about your churchgoers? I can tell you I don't like Getting raped. That's why I don't go. It doesn't happen every time.

Ridiculous argument. But the people who do wake up in other states. Pretty funny. Pretty hilarious. Now I'm getting roofied. I've done the only way.

[Brady]

I've woke up in a different state.

[John Holmberg]

Sure, in the back of a station wagon on some sort of family trek. Everybody's been in another state falling asleep. But unexpectedly waking up in another state, that's different.

And the only way that happens is if you're roofied. You very rarely get so drunk just on drinking that you are. You end up in another state. Our buddy, remember Doug? He had that time that he told us he went to Vegas. I don't know if it was him or his friend, but just woke up on a bench. He was in a room, and then he was outside on a bench. He didn't have his wallet or his phone anymore. They. They carried him out or walked him out, and he doesn't remember any of it. And he had tried to get home. It's a great story. It's one of the best stories I've ever heard.

[Brady]

And a buddy walk out of the bar, and he remembers he came with another friend in the jeep.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

So he climbed in the Jeep and it was wrong Jeep.

[John Holmberg]

See, that's a good drunk story. And then you get in trouble for that. Roofies are different.

[Brett Vesely]

Get shot that way too.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. You know, you jump in the wrong jeep. Oh, yeah, I pulled a gun on you. And you walk out of there. Okay, that's a good story. These people who don't drink don't have those stories. They're always getting in their own car. Boring.

Get yourself.

[Brady]

I've got great stories. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. I haven't heard one for a while, you know, Throw one out for us. Yeah, Give us one of them good ones. It's tough, this guy says. Switzer says, back in the late 90s, when my older brother was real into drugs, he and his friends would hit bars and secretly roofie each other just to mess with the other guy. I have no idea how to get that kind of stuff, but those stories are funny. Yeah, Roofy stories that you make it out of and your ass is okay. Hilarious.

But you do try to do the puzzle pieces. The next day. I'm pretty sure I got something, but that doesn't make a good. I didn't know about. I don't know about Jameson mixing with other stuff, but it wasn't a normal. Like, I'm not Drun. And something's happening to me, and it's making me feel very wrong.

But it feels so right. And it sort of did.

And then I just woke up again, and I'm like, it's time for work. What happened here?

So. And then my friend Tom Sizer went to that baseball game with him, totally normal. And then we're leaving the game, and I look out, and we're walking. My friend Marcos, isn't that your friend Tom? And he was doing a back bend up against the building as we were leaving the stadium, and. And I'm like, tom, are you okay? And he just goes, keep walking. Keep walking. I'm like, what happened? He's like, I'm pretty sure someone roofied me. He was doing, like, acid dances on the side of the road.

[Larry]

It was weird.

[John Holmberg]

We left him, too, like having a.

[Brett Vesely]

Jim Morrison thing or something or what.

[Brady]

Lizard King.

[John Holmberg]

We. He had different seats. So we hung out before the game and then went to the game. And then after the game, if it wasn't for my buddy Mark going, isn't that your friend Tom? Like, it sure is. What's he doing? And he was doing this weird backbend dance, and we're like, are you all right? Keep going. Just keep going. We did, because he looked crazy, and I don't want to be associated with it.

Hey.

You be careful there. Cody says, I don't think that short bald put his two cents in on drinking. That's sexual harassment. We discussed this yesterday. Cody. Cody's a short guy name, anyway. Don't you call me short.

Yeah, you guys saw me on Jefferson street after the game. I went out for four hours and woke up in an underground parking lot, lost. Yeah, I saw you before, and it was lost. You were already in the parking lot. You just didn't know it at that point. Yeah, don't roof each other.

[Brady]

Stop.

[Brett Vesely]

Dane says, I roofing myself, and I still can't get laid. Rodney Dangerfield now or what?

[John Holmberg]

Hey, I tell you what. I try to throw a roof in my own drink to see if I can turn myself on. I ended up in jail. I charged myself with rape.

Yeah, it's weird. It's a strange thing.

[Brett Vesely]

No drunk stories, Brady from way back in the day, college or anything.

[Brady]

Oh, yeah. You mean for me personally? Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. No, I was like, now he always yells at us, you know, I don't know what I'm missing. Sounds like a lot of fun. It is. And the occasion that, you know, it's like playing racquetball. Every once in a while, you get hit in the face. But most of the time it's a pretty fun event. Sometimes something can go wrong. You're taking a risk.

[Brady]

I've experienced a lot personally being drunk, but seeing it on the other side of it.

[John Holmberg]

Look, the fastest way to not want to drink is to be sober around people who are. Oh yeah, you've experienced the sober side of people having fun. And of course you're not having as much fun as them. So it just looks stupid. But we're in the mix. It's good times. John Holmberg's morning sickness the 98 KUPD.

Holmberg's morning sickness.

Getting drunk has been going on since the beginning of man. We figured out how to ferment something and we just started sucking on that, for God's sakes. They said half the people in the Bible were smoking weed. They just never included it in the book. They were pretty sure they were all into it. Of course they were. They were hippies, all of them dudes walking around in sandals and dresses. Come on. That would have been an annoying group you'd never want to hang out with.

[Brady]

They found ways to entertain themselves.

[John Holmberg]

The reason I don't like, like smoking weed is because the people who smoke.

[Brady]

Weed, I do have an experience with that.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

In eighth grade.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, really? You got stoned one time?

[Brady]

Yeah. Don't remember. My brother wakes me up the next morning, where are the breakfast rolls?

[John Holmberg]

Brady had eaten everything, plowed through it. I personally believe that that would have happened where you. I personally believe he used being high quoties as an excuse.

[Brady]

Why I did that part of it doesn't bother. It bothers me that I couldn't remember. How would I?

[John Holmberg]

You don't even know if you enjoyed that delicious breakfast breakfast roll raid.

Yeah, I kind of think you ate all the breakfast rolls and looked down and went, that was the last one that got out of hand fast. I'll just tell everybody I was stoned. And then everybody. You know, it's a good story from eighth grade. You still tell that story about how you got so high that you ate all the breakfast rolls. And that's a good story.

[Brady]

I just didn't like the point of.

[John Holmberg]

Not recalling that would matter if you don't like it. Yeah, still a story you tell. It's a good story. It's a fun story about that. So you should do it more often. Try to run into that wall again now and again and come back and go, you guys aren't gonna believe what happened to me last night. Got so drunk. I mean, my Jesus. The night I got drunk and decided to be responsible because I thought I could walk home from Old Town Scottsdale to my house because I was running marathons and went, this is a good idea. It's like a seven mile walk. I fell down on a rock and it hit me in the anus. I ended up with a hemorrhoid. The size of it was like grapevines. Ernest and Julio Gallo were living in my ass because I saw what I thought was a cat next to me on the walk on Camelback. And I said, look at that. And then it stood up and went. And I'm like, what the. That's not a cat. I started running. I hit my head on a tree and fell on that rock. And I woke up on the couch. I'm like, my ass is wet. And I reached back, it was just bleeding.

And I thought there was a rock. No, I knew exactly what happened because I knew when I landed on that rock, I'm like, that's in me. That's in me. Stupid raccoon. This raccoon was following me down Camelback. I didn't even know we had raccoons.

[Brett Vesely]

Sure it was a raccoon.

[John Holmberg]

I thought it was a cat. It was a huge cat. He's running by me. I didn't pass out at that point. I just started running, running faster. After I hit my head on that tree, then I got to the house and I was laughing hysterically. I'm like, that was crazy. Laid on the couch. I'm like, my ass is wet. What happened? I'm like, oh, that rock went in me. Wasn't a lot, but it caused immediate hemorrhoids, which I also didn't know. Trauma to Uranus causes hemorrhoids.

[Brett Vesely]

We were at our bachelor party one time, was me, man Goop and a bunch of people. And, like, I was just plowed. And I want. I wind up walking outside, and it's about what I remember. The next thing I know, my phone's ringing.

[John Holmberg]

I'm like, what the hell?

[Brett Vesely]

Grab my phone. And man Goop said, where are you? I'm like, I'm out front he's like, no, you're not. I'm out front. And I'm like, no, I'm out front. And he's like, all right, well, what do you see? I'm like, the sky. Because I passed out in the bushes. I was literally passed out in the bushes.

[John Holmberg]

You were in. Nobody gets sick of Christie's in the quad in Guadalupe. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You went to Christie's Guadalupe. You had to be drunk. Oh, I was.

[Brady]

That was his front yard.

[John Holmberg]

That is drunk. What? You know, you're with a bunch of drunk guys, you're like, let's go to the Guadalupe.

The closest one is Guadalupe. Usually sobers me up fast.

Want to go to Carl's Jr. Where is it? Closest one's Guadalupe. Good night, folks. We'll see another time. I'm going home.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

So, yeah, be careful out there with your roofies. And then I do remember yesterday watching that or a thing on YouTube where Shaquille O' Neal talked about abusive relationships and that he was in one.

And he said his girlfriend, when he was younger used to beat him up a lot.

Come on.

You can't feel sorry for that. And also, that broad has some guts. She, as you're probably assuming, he's not going to hit her back, but what if you catch him on the wrong day? I don't think you want the business end of Shaquille o' Neal having had enough of this. You know, you see all those to wake the Kraken.

[Larry]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You do? Yeah. You don't want to release the Kraken.

[Larry]

I'm gonna release it on her.

[John Holmberg]

It's okay. To have Shaquille o' Neal finally say, enough is enough would be devastating to anybody that decided he said it. She used to beat me all the time. And he said he was in an abusive relationship, and his attempt to make it okay for men to talk about it actually backfires, because that's hilarious. Like, there's. I can't really assume it was that abusive that Shaquille o' Neal was, like, in trouble. It has to be somebody like Scott Haynes or Larry or somebody small. If you started to talk about, like, he's my wife's beating me, he'd be like, all right, we got to put a stop to this. She's gonna kill you. Shaquille o'. Neal.

When he's the spokesperson for abused men, nobody's feeling bad at all. That's a. You're wasting everyone's time. He said. Yeah. He said he was candid about being fearful of his military Father. That made sense because his dad was a big guy, and I've seen videos of him, and he was very intimidated by his father. But he said he had a woman particularly scary in his youth who used to bully him. And it was so bad that Shaq admits he'll never forget what she used to do to him for the rest of his days. He still has fear of her. Says the most physically dominant giant in the league was once physically dominated by a girl about a third his size. No, he wasn't. He just didn't hit her back.

[Larry]

And he was.

[John Holmberg]

He was.

[Brady]

The guy's been a giant. It's like life, you know, what if it was, like, eighth grade or something? Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

But even still, he was. He was old enough to be, you know, a guy who didn't hit her back. He wasn't abused to the point where he was like, this is terrible. I've got. Nobody was ever gonna say, we got to get you out of this. No one can possibly feel that bad for when he said, he goes, I.

[Larry]

Had this girl Monica. She used to beat me all the time.

[John Holmberg]

So. So what?

[Larry]

I was scared of her.

[John Holmberg]

No, you weren't. Or you were. You stop it.

[Larry]

I want to be the face of male domestic violence.

[John Holmberg]

No, can't do it. Larry has to do that. Because if a girl started beating on Larry, you'd be like, that poor bastard. Shaquille o' Neal gets punched by a woman. It's like, he's fine. Don't worry about it.

[Brady]

Just like the picture from Tawny Catan.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah. With that. Yeah, the guy that was the similar guy with the Cardinals.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

She took swings at him. Yeah, yeah. Finley. Yeah. And she was beating on his. Her pitcher, husband.

[Brady]

And a lot of people in the league were saying, come on.

[John Holmberg]

Well, again, she was bigger. He wasn't gargantuan. He was a good sized pro athlete. But of course, she was bigger than him. No, no, but she was a bigger girl. Like, she's not like a third his size. You see Shaquille o' Neal, next to every woman that he likes to date, that wife of his. I'm surprised he didn't split her like a log like she was. She was, I think, as a human being, smaller than what I assume his penises. She was little. She came up to his waist. Tiny woman. She was like 4, 10, 5ft tall, if he's into that. And she started hitting him, I'd be like, all right. You're gonna be all right. It's like, you know, Gulliver's Travels. At a certain point, you can just build stuff around him. You won't even feel it.

He can't be the face of male domestic violence. Nobody's gonna go. Ever since I heard about Shaquille's horrible.

[Brady]

It's a tougher Sal.

[John Holmberg]

It's a. It's a non sale. I'm being abused by my wife. I'm just like Shaquille o'. Neal. No, you're not. You. Shaquille o' Neal is a superstar. Is just saying that to make it okay for other giants to admit they're kind. That's all he is, is a kind giant. That's what I read. But I'm telling you, man.

Woman, taking a swing on a guy that big, you better hope he's a kind giant. Next thing you know, it's gonna be like one of those cartoon pushes where you go through, like, 14 houses. He just hits you, and you go through every. Just wall after wall, just you flying backwards.

[Brady]

It's the tiger trainer. I got this tiger.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, tigers can be abused and, like. But they. When they fight back, you're like, good on you, kid. But tigers are animals. That's different.

They don't know not to, like, they. They're being over. Yeah, but they smacking them and beating them when they're babies, That's a non starter. As far as Shaquille, you knew you were getting beat, right? Yeah. You talked to your. Yeah, okay. You could have walked away from this.

[Larry]

I was trapped in an abusive relationship.

Laverley. Why is that so funny?

[Brett Vesely]

Mention Charles Barkley. Talking to him about that.

[John Holmberg]

Wait a second. There's a little girl taking a swing on you. And you. What, did you weep?

[Larry]

Oh, I wept. I cried like a baby, Chuck.

[John Holmberg]

I'd go home.

[Larry]

I was so scared.

[John Holmberg]

What were you scared of? Like, hitting you in the foot.

Just push her.

[Larry]

You never put your hands on someone, Chuck, Someone you love.

[John Holmberg]

This is crazy. You went home scared.

[Larry]

Sometimes I just drive around the block worrying if she was gonna beat me that night.

[John Holmberg]

This isn't real at all. You crazy.

[Larry]

I have to side with Charles here. Ernie, you don't know nothing.

[John Holmberg]

If Ernie came on and said, I was abused by women, be like, that's terrible. Poor Ernie. Shaq, does it. Come on. You're fine. What woman on the planet would worry you about Shaq being abused? Like, if Brady started showing up with bruises, we'd pull him aside and go, are you all right? But if you were 7ft, 300 pounds, I'd be like, why are you all Bruised up. She's beating me.

Come on. You just put your hand out. She can't even reach you. Put your hand on her forehead like the old Three Stooges and let her. You know.

[Brady]

You wouldn't know. I'd just say I fell down again.

[John Holmberg]

Why you fell down?

[Larry]

I fell down a flight of stairs, and I hit my face on the doorknob.

[John Holmberg]

Shaq is. You get. Are you. But, Shaq, you go home, you're getting beat.

[Larry]

I have some bruising. I don't want to talk about it.

[John Holmberg]

John Holmberg's morning sickness. The 98 KUPD. Holmberg's Morning Sickness.

And he's just in a huge ball on the ground. You gonna listen to me? Shaquille under you?

[Larry]

Stop beating me.

[John Holmberg]

I don't buy it.

[Brett Vesely]

Now, if he's dating Brittney Griner or something, maybe.

[John Holmberg]

Wow. That's man on man. Grinder. Be super careful. That's a dude fighting a dude.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, what about Obama and Big Mike?

[John Holmberg]

If he started showing up with bruises, yeah, it's believable. Even Trump would be like, come here, Barack. Is everything okay at home? I know you don't like me, but she beats me senseless. We all know it. Probably with that huge wang. It has made an appearance. But, yeah, I mean, come on, Shaq. We can't hear that. It's immediately funny. It will never be like the Jimmy V. Founded Shaquille o' Neal Abused Husbands Foundation. You can't be the face of certain things. That's like me being the face of the. I don't know, naacp. I mean, it's just. You just can't do it. It doesn't fit.

[Larry]

So many giants live in this world, scared of their wives.

[John Holmberg]

That's not a thing.

[Larry]

I'm seven feet. I come home, I duck. I duck to walk through the front door, and I just wait for her, and I don't know when she's gonna come out. She. She's sneaky. Shoots out from under the couch and just starts whipping me.

[Brady]

This could be the night.

[John Holmberg]

I'm gonna kick ass just for telling that story in public.

[Larry]

Please, Charles, you don't know my. My silent fears, my quiet rage.

[John Holmberg]

That's nuts. But I was. I was listening to that, and I'm like, come on, Shaq. Can't be that. We can't. Nobody took that seriously, right? Nobody said, well, it's terrible. This one says, I'm also a victim of abuse from my girlfriend. Signed, Nathan Sutherland. Yeah, it's the exact same match up there. It's the odds Of Nathan losing a fight to his girlfriend is the same as Shaq losing two. Any woman I've ever met.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You know, he had the silent treatment for years. What woman can you think of right now, seriously, that poses a physical threat to Shaquille o' Neal without weapons? Now, she pulled the gun on him. That's totally different. Crime Lizzo. Old Lizzo could. No, he'd still bounce her off the walls. There is no woman.

[Brett Vesely]

She could sumo wrestle his ass.

[John Holmberg]

It'd be an interesting scrap. It'd be good scrap. I'd watch it. But Shaq would come out in the end.

[Brady]

30 seconds.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Oh. Survives that first round and she spent.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, look. Yeah. She got zero stamina. There's no doubt about that.

[Brett Vesely]

China, formerly of the W. She's dead.

[John Holmberg]

She also had a penis. I said, woman, we all saw the pictures. That was her.

[Brett Vesely]

Big mics out.

[John Holmberg]

Big mics that. You can't keep picking. Men, girls, literally. Biological women. Which ones will you be like? Yeah, she used to beat Shaq. Poor guy. There's no feeling sorry for him.

Can't be done. Porsche just got his ass kicked constantly by that lady.

[Brady]

Even sir. You know a good Serena Williams who was.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she's a big.

[Brady]

She's. But she's my sign, right?

[John Holmberg]

She's just only gonna happen. She's 6ft, 200 pounds and she's lost weight. She did the Ozempic season on the commercials. Now she ain't making Shaq. You ever seen her standing next to Shaq? It's. She's tiny.

[Larry]

You just don't understand. And you're not taking me seriously.

[John Holmberg]

No, I'm not. And I want to hear it ever again.

[Larry]

A lot of guys like me get.

[John Holmberg]

Hit by women, okay? Do you feel it? Because that's my only question.

[Brady]

But John, only takes eight pounds.

[John Holmberg]

You gotta reach it. What woman jump up and give you eight pounds of an open jaw? So it has to be a perfect.

It's eight pounds of pressure. It's not just eight pounds leaning on it. You gotta give a pop to a jaw that's open.

And the odds of you putting that button is it's very difficult to hit that. But if you hit it right, you can put somebody out. Nobody. Shaq is not going out. Down goes Shaq. I'm going up.

You listen to me. Stay down. Next time I see you, just lay there, because that's where we'll put your ass.

[Larry]

I can't go home no more.

[John Holmberg]

You got that call from Shaquille o'.

[Larry]

Neal. I can't Go home. She's home, and she scares me.

[Brett Vesely]

Mm.

[John Holmberg]

Go home, Shaquille.

[Brett Vesely]

Your couple people are saying, Jada Pinkett Smith.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she couldn't. I would like to see her take a swing at Shaq. I think he'd finally make the move, quiet her up. That's hilarious. But, yeah, and I do. Like, in this day and age, that you're not allowed to say, okay, that's just stupid. You have to take it seriously. Domestic violence for men's a real problem. Okay, for. For what? Men?

Chick hit you and you just leave. It's the same with women, but it is more. It is tougher for women because they can be overpowered so easily. You shouldn't be afraid of your girlfriend. This guy says, Ronda Rousey, Amanda Nunez, Kayla Harrison would all give him a run for his money. They've all lost to women in fights. Ronda Rousey had her whole face redecorated by a kick.

[Brady]

She wants it happening again.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that. By the way, she volunteered to fight that lady. It wasn't even surprise. Punches and she. Come on. Ronda Rousey is a very average fighter.

[Brett Vesely]

Somebody says, I alone, a mayor, a.

[John Holmberg]

Rugby player, my rugby gigantic. Oh, yeah, she's a beast. But Shaq is like. Just because you can name a big woman. I'm still thinking, if Shaq's with her and he shows up with bruises, I don't feel bad. She's got. She was on Dancing with the Stars. She's kind of annoying. She wasn't that big. She's just thick. No, she looks big there, right?

But she could take her.

[Brett Vesely]

Just a corpse grinder from Cannibal Corpse.

[John Holmberg]

In that picture.

[Larry]

Look at that.

[John Holmberg]

They try to pretty her up a lot. Ever see her Instagram page?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, talk about special effects. That's.

A lot of work. They put scaffolding up to do it too. It's like a full on.

She's kind of funny. Like, she does some funny stuff, but when they. When they put her in, like, evening gowns and stuff, you're like, all right.

See.

It'S. Shaq would beat her up.

Listen, that fight is cake. See, they're dolling her up there. Brett found the pretty vids down in Tulum. A bad girl, but a real good kisser trying to be sexy.

No, turn that off. That's gross.

[Brett Vesely]

She's running.

[John Holmberg]

This guy says, what about Ladonna Harvey? Nah, you might have something.

[Brett Vesely]

Ask Jim Sharp.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, Sharp won't talk. If Jim Sharp said she beats me, we wouldn't even think of his wife. We'd be like, we know who's hitting you. Do you need us to get involved? Just. Yeah, just get me out of this. It would be like secrets of Mormon wives. You see them, sneak them out. Not the Mormon ones. What's the one where they go up there and they sneak kids out? The ones the polygamist. And then they. They. That one guy, Colorado City. Yeah. He'll go back up. They had a whole show of it for a while. He'd drive up to that city and rescue him, stealing them. Like, wait for him and like, he's like, we'll get you out of here. There was a couple of really good episodes of that too, where these people would go back and wait for him and they'd have to run away, literally running to the car night. And sometimes they wouldn't show up and it would dip Everybody be like, she's staying. She's staying in this craziness. Could you imagine that sitting there? All right, Shaq, I go out to the honky tonk and tell her you're gonna go, you know, dance and four step with her or something. And then we'll meet you in the parking lot and drive you to another place. Come on, Shaq's fine.

I'd laugh at Brett.

[Brady]

Pack him up at his locker. The Lakers to leave. The Laker organization.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, because. Because a woman's being. Look, if Brett came in here right now and said, hey, Brady, I gotta talk to you. Matthias, she's. She's knocking me around pretty good. I'm afraid to go home. Look at you're laughing now.

It's just not a thing. Some people are saying.

[Brett Vesely]

Cause she's the same. She's the same height as his crank.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, no. She get punched in the wing, but it might hurt her hand.

[Brett Vesely]

Now it's the big Kardashian sisters, a couple of them that are coming in now. She's not that big anymore.

[John Holmberg]

No. She's still only like 6ft tall. Add a foot and 190 pounds to it and tell me that she's going to do any damage.

I know domestic violence for men is real, but come on.

Shaq can't be one of the voices of that. Brett can't even do it. You guys would laugh at me. Megan hits me a lot. And I just don't know what to do about Larry. Larry's one that you'd be like, oh, my God, that woman's gonna kill Larry because he's nice and he would allow it.

She would eventually stop hitting him is whatever. She loves me. Like. Oh.

You know, sometimes you just. If they're punching on you and stuff, you just, like, push them down. That's enough. And then you leave.

It's different for women. A man, Ronnie beats me. Look, your face immediately went to smiling. It was never like, that's terrible. If Beth had this conversation on her show and then, like, said, I'm being beaten, there wouldn't be any laughing.

[Brady]

Nobody talks about that big Crane.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. And be like, really? Okay, It's a tough man, but no woman can say that. But I say it about Brett, and immediately you started giggling like crazy.

[Brady]

That's the voice.

[John Holmberg]

No, it's the same voice he always uses. Hey.

[Brady]

Oh, that's what I think.

[John Holmberg]

I went home. I'm afraid to go home.

He's knocking me all over the place, bouncing me off the wall.

[Brett Vesely]

Now we got Gabby Garcia. I guess she's an MMA fighter or something.

[John Holmberg]

I can imagine. Ahoy hoy. Who is it? Oh. Oh, Brady. Oh, it's Brett. Oh, God, I'm getting beat. Oh, who's beating? The opposite. What's his name? Oh, it's Matthiah.

[Brett Vesely]

I almost want to call him and say that.

[John Holmberg]

Now just like, shut up, Brad. You're all right. Oh, it's relentless. It's relentless.

Stop Italian crying. It's hilarious. John Holmberg's morning sickness. The 98 KUPD.

[Larry]

Holmberg's morning sickness.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it's little, tiny fits of fury.

I gotta go. I'm hungry. Where were you?

[Brady]

I was in the Subaru.

[John Holmberg]

What happened? I forgot to dig out the trash. I gotta live a night in the garbage like Oscar the Grouchy.

I'm so glad I can hear again.

It's just harder. All I'm saying is. I know it's. It is, but it's harder. And you can laugh about it, which means it's not that big a deal. Now flip that around to two women trying that same exact thing. Jane getting beat by her husband.

[Brady]

Hello.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my God. You've got to come get me. He's beating me. Suddenly, it's not funny. But when dudes get beat up. Hilarious.

Hilarious.

But Toledo's ex wife, remember when she. I've heard that. I'm like, oh, boy. I asked him, she ever hit you? Because she used to get real loud. He just started crying, and then you and I started laughing and we went back to lunch.

She ever hit you, Rich?

[Larry]

Oh, yeah, it was bad.

[John Holmberg]

I have the Italian sub. You guys just gonna order lunch?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

That conversation's over.

[Brady]

I got 400 tickets to spend with the Chuck E. Cheese.

[John Holmberg]

You want to know how I know your business is going under is if you opened up a domestic violence shelter for men. It's not gonna happen. And I know people will email and go, it's because we're afraid to talk about it. No, it's not that. It's not happening.

[Brady]

It's a 10 bed facility. Nine are open.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Most of the time. Women don't beat you. You, they plot your death. I watch a lot of Dateline. They don't sit back and punch. Some of them will get violent. But the second they do, just leave.

[Brady]

Mental.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, there's mental abuse now. That's a different animal altogether. That's craziness.

But for the most part, they plot your death. If you watch any of those Keith Morrison shows there. As time went by, she had more and more ideas and he had no idea. Or did he? Because he goes by suit of armor and he sleeps in that for a while. Jeff decided to sleep in a suit of armor for the next six months, just in case. And then she'd go nuts and kill him.

[Brady]

Slow poisoning.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah, they do that stuff now.

[Brett Vesely]

Shaq still with this broad or was this.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, it was one of those.

[Larry]

Yeah, no, I got out of that incredibly dangerous situation, Brit.

[John Holmberg]

And you guys are laughing. What a couple of dicks.

[Larry]

That was horrible. It was just a terrible, terrible thing.

[Brady]

I'm happy for him.

[John Holmberg]

See, that said, I said, I bet nobody was afraid or threatened by Jodi Arias. Yeah, and she didn't punch him once.

She said he was hitting her in the trial. And look what she did. She drove all the way across the country and stayed mad and got in there and did her business. That's what a woman does. You don't even know you're going to get abused until you're bleeding out your neck.

[Brett Vesely]

Ramon says you obviously never dated a Mexican woman. When those hoop earrings come off, somebody getting an ass whooped.

[John Holmberg]

That's probably true. Yeah. I'm not saying they don't whip your ass. I'm just saying usually it's once. If it keeps happening, somebody's going to end up on their. On their ass.

[Larry]

Had to hit her player. I had to push her down.

She called my abuelito.

[John Holmberg]

How Better Call Saul got started at 7:20. What do you got on the big board of musical treats over there?

[Brett Vesely]

Wake Up Sonnet, brought to you by Action Ride Shop. It is a little chilly this morning, which means, you know, they're getting snow up north and. Well, now time to start getting those. Those skis row boards, getting all the gear ready, and Action Ride Shop is the place to be. Plus, Josh just text me yesterday. Oh, yeah, let me double check my text, because I don't want to misquote this, but everything. She's ready. Yeah. He's running a big special right now.

And it is.

20 all in stock beach cruisers.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no kidding.

[Brett Vesely]

And he's got a ton of them. So time to start going Christmas shopping. Get that beach cruise. Cruise around the neighborhood, do whatever right around the kids, if you have those. And the kiddos. But, yeah, 20% of my kids is beating me. But 20% off all beach cruisers right now. And it is Action Ride Shop. They got two locations for you right there on power Road and McDowell, and of course, the OG on Gilbert Road and southernactionride shop.com.

[John Holmberg]

Remember the time we found out. Remember Tattoo from Fantasy Island?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And he got in trouble for beating his wife, and she was 6ft tall.

Like, wow. And nobody was like, that poor woman. Like, come on, you married tattoo?

[Brett Vesely]

Well, Gary Coleman got pushed down the stairs.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's. Yeah. But again, those are the types of guys that can be the face of this. And is he still. Look, I know. And she still. She's still a little bit clumsy. She's the excuse men have been using for years. She's clumsy, you see? But even still. No, Even Gary Coleman was pushed downstairs by an abusive woman, and he can't even be the face of male domestic violence because it's too funny to think of Arnold getting pushed downstairs. Nobody had that on their bingo card of, how do you think Arnold will go, oh, he's gonna get beat up by his girlfriend and knock down a staircase. You did it. I don't know how you pulled that off, but yes, that's exactly it. Oops, sorry. It was. It was abuse. We have to be sad about it. Nah. This guy said, I dated a crazy Italian chick who stabbed me in the hand. I wrapped it in a clean shirt and went about my day. Yeah, that's. That's.

You get away with that one time, you can't get stabbed. That's illegal. Just throw her in jail.

And people all think Big Mike can take down Shaq. Maybe in your cartoon world, but even Big Mike doesn't stand a chance. You've never felt the theory of Big Mike.

[Larry]

She beats me.

[John Holmberg]

It's just a funny thing to hear. All right, what do you got?

[Brett Vesely]

All right. On the list, Aquabats, typo, negative body counts, cover of Raining Blood, the Ramones, Somebody put something in my drink.

[John Holmberg]

That's me. Ozzy.

[Brett Vesely]

Ultimate sin because it is his birthday. Date rape for you, Sublime. Scp. Black Sabbath for Ozzy's birthday.

[John Holmberg]

Now that I'm thinking about it, this is a Father Dale situation again. If I did get roofied, I was still so unattractive. No one raped me.

[Brett Vesely]

You don't know that. Maybe.

[John Holmberg]

No, I woke up fine.

[Brett Vesely]

Brett, was there a little. Any Asian men there last night?

[John Holmberg]

Or you're just saying all Asian men? If you're going to get raped, maybe that's why Toledo goes over there for vacation. It doesn't hurt.

Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I didn't know there were no little Asian men running in and out of the windows.

Yeah, I got roofied and then just left to my own.

[Brady]

It was just a jumbo, my wankie.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't even have that. Stop tugging on my erection, please. I've been drugged. Didn't even have the opportunity to fight the rapist off. Or beat him off, as they'd say.

Yeah, I got roofied. And it was basically somebody saying, have a nice sleep. That was it.

I think it's working.

[Brady]

You're gonna follow him home?

[John Holmberg]

Nah, nah. I've seen him walking away. He's too ugly.

[Brady]

I like his jib.

[John Holmberg]

He's just too ugly. Oh, I'm pretty dizzy right now. I don't think I'm gonna make it. Five more steps, then we'll get you into a room. Don't worry about it. You'll be fine.

Yeah, that's disappoint. As disappointing as Father Dale never making a pass at me all those four years I spent over there at Dobson, three at Dobson.

Never once he was playing grab ass with everyone in that school except me.

[Brady]

Maybe that's what you need to do next time you see him. I'm right here, big boy.

[John Holmberg]

I might ask him. Hey, you raped everybody at Dobson except me. What? Why?

[Larry]

Your nose.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's what I figured. Anyway. Well, thanks for the honesty. God bless.

[Brady]

What is it about me?

[John Holmberg]

God bless, Father Dale.

[Brett Vesely]

You never got in the hot tub?

[John Holmberg]

Never got a chance. Never even got to see the drawer full of bathing suits of different sizes that he carried for all the boys that he was having over. I mean.

[Brady]

Spiritual soak.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, if you. And I was like, not religious.

[Brett Vesely]

I was.

[John Holmberg]

I was the one he should have been targeting. I'm showing up at his teen life thing, trying, because that's where all the girls were. And I thought that was a good idea. And I'm pretending for a Little while that I'm interested in the church. Never once did he even come over and go, hey, you want to be a new recruit? Hop in this tub with me like he did everyone else.

Not once. Maybe he roofied me last night and it's like, you look tired. I'm gonna help you out.

[Brett Vesely]

Go ahead and sleep.

[John Holmberg]

Damn it. It's Ozzy's birthday. He would have been what, 77? Yep, 77 years old today. How about that? Ozzy's our first birthday of Ozzy's. Where he's not here, which is crazy Ozzy's. We should do some. Some sort of a special song for him. Ultimate sin's pretty good.

[Brett Vesely]

That's a great song.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, let's go with that one. Ultimate sin of Ozzy. That one. It's hard to believe that this year that's. That was a big loss back in July. That was a big one. You see the biggest star that died, right? Probably that I remember. He's the only one I remember, so he must be. There's been a couple of good ones.

[Brady]

I saw the.

They posted the list about two weeks ago.

[John Holmberg]

Dead people from the year.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]
