Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The New Cinnabon Video

• [01:19-02:42]
  • Holmberg announces they have a "breaking news" update, sharing that another angle of the viral Cinnabon confrontation has surfaced.
  • They discuss the circumstances: a white Cinnabon employee involved in a heated, racist exchange with Somali customers.
  • Notable for Holmberg’s ongoing incredulity:

    "How does Cinnabon go south? Cinnabon's heaven." – John Holmberg [01:41]

• The hosts describe commotion, the employee’s verbal abuses, and point out the chaos with customers filming from several angles.

2. Escalation and Backstory

• [02:42-04:07]
  • Comments attempt to piece together what happened before the video, suggesting the customer accused the employee of repeated harassment, with "white bitch" and "black bitch" insults exchanged.
  • Holmberg questions the escalation:

    "We have to go back...before the video started rolling on how that transaction went so south." – John Holmberg [03:51]

3. GoFundMe and Fallout

• [04:08-06:35]
  • The conversation shifts to the various GoFundMe campaigns spawned by the incident:
    • The fired Cinnabon employee ("crazy races," per Holmberg) had at least $100,000 in donations by the previous day.
    • Multiple family members and the affected Somali customers have legal fundraisers as well.

  • "Can't go get another job. The couple also has a GoFundMe." – John Holmberg [05:36]

  • Debate ensues over the legitimacy and ethics of these campaigns, with Holmberg humorously lamenting lawsuits against Cinnabon, "an American treasure."

4. Workplace Racism and 'Race Exhaustion'

• [06:36-09:02]
  • The team reads and mocks online comments asserting "race exhaustion."
  • Holmberg reflects on professionalism:

    "Maybe you're exhausted, but you do what a decent human being would do. You push it down until you get in the car and then you say all the racial slurs you want." – John Holmberg [07:07]

  • Age and life circumstance of the Cinnabon worker become targets for both empathy and satire:

    "She's 43. Life hasn't worked out if you're still working the counter at Cinnabon and you're 43. Unless you're a multi millionaire." – John Holmberg [08:02]

• They criticize the spiraling of a simple mall altercation into a broader race discourse and windfall donations.

5. Online Comment Madness

• [09:03-11:48]
  • The hosts riff on increasingly vile GoFundMe donor names and messages—mocking both the racism and the performative nature of the commentary.

  • "It's real easy not to explode on Somalians or just walk away and whisper the slurs like us decent whites have been doing for years." – John Holmberg [09:23]

  • They express disbelief at how easily incendiary content is published online.

6. Reflections and Satirical Takeaways

• [11:49-13:04]
  • The hosts reflect on the absurdity: “We made it about a national stance,” but at heart, it was “an angry white woman and two angry Somalian people fighting at the Cinnabon.”
  • Holmberg satirically recommends monetizing bad behavior:

    "If you're currently not making quarter of a million dollars a year, totally worth it to slur employees today on film. Because that's how the United States works..." – John Holmberg [11:29]

  • The segment closes with the debut of the "KUPD Fact Hunt" joke (pointedly pronounced to sound dicey).

[Brett Vesely]

You're listening to the HMS Podcast, brought to you by MMP Guns.com, your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories. Hey, it's Brett Vesely and I'm here with Byron from MMP Guns. Look, Byron, I have a friend wanting to sell some guns he inherited. What's the best way for him to do that?

[Byron]

Brett, the last thing you want to do is sell the gun to someone who can't legally own one. Tell him not to put himself at risk and come into M and P Guns where he'll get a fair offer and he can rest easy knowing it's not getting into the wrong hands.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay, but what if he lives out of state?

[Byron]

Easy. Legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it. It's really that simple.

[Brett Vesely]

There you have it. MMP Guns or legalgunbuyer.com the safe and legal way to sell your firearms.

[Mo]

Hey, what's up? It's Mo and my friends at the University of Advancing Technology has been ranked the number one best college for computer science for not one, but two years in a row. Which makes total sense because UAT are always on the lookout for those who don't just embrace technology, they live it. From advancing computer science and robotics to cybersecurity, gaming, and artificial intelligence, UAT is where innovation thrives.

[John Holmberg]

Science.

[Mo]

So if you're ready to lead the next tech revolution, visit uat.edu.mo. and don't just study tech, live it.

[John Holmberg]

Homberg's morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail.

More. This is breaking news. Just got this video put in before we get to hot releases in a little while. The Cinnabon Girl. Oh, that old Daniel Young song. The Cinnabon Girl. Remember that? God love that one. Oh, yeah.

What?

[Brett Vesely]

This video is basically like somebody else that filmed it. It wasn't that. So like kind of in the background.

[John Holmberg]

So she thought the Somalis were the only ones filming her. There was someone else that heard some loud sounds coming out of the Cinnabon and said, how does Cinnabon go south? Cinnabon's heaven. And those Somali ladies and the crazy woman that called them the N word several times is now being filled from somewhere else. And the phrase you're listening for is paint your face somewhere else, you fat, effing bug eyed. All right, here we go.

[Brett Vesely]

That's crazy pays.

[John Holmberg]

Welcome to Cinnabon. And we're on.

What's recording doing for you? Just show me who you are. Get the out of here.

And the husband's trying to whip the lady away.

Here we go. And now she's filming her. So you got to be five different people. I still know who the you are, man. You put on your head.

How bad did this get?

I need to know the backstory on.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

She scammed her.

[John Holmberg]

What a psycho bitch.

Oh, I live for moments like this. And they got her again.

That's when she started throwing pots and pans. I can't. You're right. But I would. But I would do it. Do it now. The Somalis aren't doing themselves any favors by not walking away. But he kept that Cinnabon. I was right. Look, he's still got it in his hand.

The one thing he didn't do was give back that delicious treat to that crazy races that served him.

The last thing I'm going to do to teach you a lesson is give you back this delicious frosted treat.

[Brett Vesely]

That's the last thing.

[John Holmberg]

The last thing that is happening in this argument about how you the races are giving me food is to take that food and not eat it. You don't know what I went through as a child. I will eat poop. Oh, you spit in my Cinnabon. Big deal. I ate my brother's heart once.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Evidently, his wife or girlfriend been working her five times.

[John Holmberg]

We have to go back.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

To before the video started rolling on how that transaction went so south.

It's Cinnabon.

Can't even be mad at a Cinnabon.

Oh, I gotta know more. More video, please. And I don't know what's the. What's the tally on her. On her GoFundMe page, because yesterday it was at $100,000 for people saving this poor white woman from. You know. She says that the employee accused the woman of harassing her, previously confronting her with white bitch comments and now coming back as a black bitch. Interestingly enough, the employee knows full well she's being recorded, but doesn't stop her from breaking that N word out at the end of the video, which we saw yesterday. And they did it immediately. Cinnabon, of course, doesn't want anything to do with this. And I don't want Cinnabon involved in this at all. Cinnabon is a delicious treat in American Treasure.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't know if this is the same one, because this one's only at.

[John Holmberg]

6,145 K. Another Cinnabon racial moment occurred.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, no, it's the same broad, but I might be a different GoFundMe for the same cause.

[John Holmberg]

Help for cousins, legal Fees. Don't fall for that scam. If anybody's trying to raise money for this chick on the side, she's got 60. 100 for her, too.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Go back to that one because it.

[Brett Vesely]

I was seeing if there's another.

[John Holmberg]

She looks crazy. Yeah. So the cousins are. Wisconsin. The cousins are. Are trying to raise money for the family as well. Because, you know, you can't replace that. It's too hard to replace that Cinnabon income. You have to have a GoFundMe. Can't go get another job.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

The couple also has a GoFundMe.

[John Holmberg]

They do.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

It looked like it on that last one.

[John Holmberg]

Wait, why do they need money? They didn't lose their job.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

This one, Sabrina Osman. For. For here.

[John Holmberg]

I'm guessing those are Somali names you're trying to say.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, so maybe this is the money for this.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Legal fees and lawyer cost to pursue justice. They're gonna sue Cinnabon, my cousin. Well, I'm sure they are, Ahmed. Yep.

[John Holmberg]

Don't make me side with that crazy Cinnabon racist. Don't you dare sue the American treasure known as Cinnabon just because one lady went crazy.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Cinnabon. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

It's not their fault. They got rid of her.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

So they got $6,700 in legal fees.

[John Holmberg]

They're not going to cover much on that. And I think it's going to be a pretty. Just call Cinnabon and go, hey, we're going to sue you. If you don't give it. They'll give you like a lifetime supply. You have hit the jackpot.

What's her name? Wiley something.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Crystal.

[John Holmberg]

Crystal. Oh, Crystal. Okay. Wilsey Crystal.

[Brett Vesely]

Probably Fitzer.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. How much. How much has she raised? She got herself 200.

It's outstanding. It's outstanding. And then you get all the. Immediately people get up.

[Brett Vesely]

120K.

[John Holmberg]

120,000. That's pretty good. Nice job. It says John. It's called race exhaustion. We're tired of them acting like they're still in a third world country and believing we need to adjust to them. They're adjusting us pretty good. They're in line at Cinnabon.

I think there's adjustments that have been made. Maybe they said something a little quote, pardon the pun, off color.

But as an. As a. As a person with the job and the name tag on, you just know not to do that. Maybe you're exhausted, but you do what a decent human being would do. You push it down until you get in the car and then you say all the racial slurs you want while you're listening to, you know, rap. More than likely you've got like a gunna or a bad bunny song on and then you shoot your racial slurs at the radio like you're doing now.

She does not like those Somalians. Both people could have pushed that down a little bit. And I understand what Jesse's saying, but race exhaustion. You work at Cinnabon. Well, you're not on the front lines of the race battle. You're at Cinnabon. You're an hourly employee making amazing buns.

And she looks to be in her late 20s. I don't know how old that lady is.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Says 43.

[John Holmberg]

She's 43. Life hasn't worked out if you're still working the counter at Cinnabon and you're 43. Unless you're in multi millionaire.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

It all adds up. John.

[John Holmberg]

Well, it's just pent up oils over, oil's over or done. And the big problem that's kept her from having a decent job all these years is her hatred towards Somalians. She just can't, can't catch a break up there in Wisconsin running into one or two of those paper thin human beings. She'd love to just fax them all back to Somalia.

[Brett Vesely]

There's 1.130, 000.

[John Holmberg]

Wow.

[Brett Vesely]

Goal is 271,000.

[John Holmberg]

Why? Why is that? Why is her gold 271? That's what it's going to take to make up my lost resources.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm Crazy eyes.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, she's 43 and works the counter at Cinnabon. She is Gene Takovic. She's in witness relocation and she just snapped. I love this story. This, this is slowly becoming my favorite story of 2025. 270.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

No white person should lose their job refusing to be harassed by Somalians.

[John Holmberg]

Evidence.

[Brett Vesely]

So fellow racist donated $5.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, there are guys whose name is fellow ra I'm also racist. Here's a Lincoln. Ironically, he gives a Lincoln for that.

Anyway, hilarious story. Love every second of it.

And it's real easy not to explode on Somalians or just walk away and whisper the slurs like us decent whites have been doing for years.

You don't yell it out. Gives everybody a bad name. Keep it under your breath. You mumble.

Say all you need.

[Brett Vesely]

20 bucks given to. I hate Somalis too.

[John Holmberg]

Wow, that guy's got a classy name.

Anyway, I get it. I get it. People are upset at everything.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh geez, I'm not reading that one.

[John Holmberg]

No, there's some you don't read. I can't See it? What's it say?

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

Well, it mentions something about.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no, it's got the word mud and shark in it. Jesus. That's in the comments. See, we got a problem. It's Cinnabon. I go back to yesterday's talk. How bad can life be if a you've got Cinnabon around you 24 hours a day and you're just about to eat one? I can't even be mad holding a Cinnabon.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

I just got back from Minneapolis. The fatigue is real. God bless.

[John Holmberg]

It does say God bless.

It's what the Lord would have wanted. The whitest Cinnabon in the world. I don't know why these Somalians think that their cinnamon treats are any different than ours.

Don't you give them a cinnamon bun, goddammit, till they show some sort of proof of residency.

It was just a fight. We made it about like a national stance. It was a angry white woman and two angry Somalian people fighting at the cinema. And we make it seem like America's problem. 271 grand. That's the going rate for losing your job for saying the N word to some immigrants. A lot of you aren't making 271 a year. It's worth it.

So while you're littering today, try to lose your job on film by calling one of your diverse co workers a horrible slur. Now you're probably going to get punched, but in the end, when you get fired, start that Gofundme and Heinrich Himmler and Racist2 and all these other people start throwing cashier direction.

If you're currently not making quarter of a million dollars a year, totally worth it to slur employees today on film. Because that's how the United States works, not just the US of A.

The Internet comments are pretty great.

[Brett Vesely]

There's something.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, well, enjoy that. Well, that's the latest. That's breaking news. Breaking news.

As KUPD's news team is out there on a fact hunt. Don't say that fast.

Fact hunt. That sounds terrible.

[Brett Vesely]

Look at this one.

[John Holmberg]

What's that say? I can't see it from here.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm not reading it.

[John Holmberg]

All right, well then we shouldn't read it. Oh, yeah, no, that's. No.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

How do you do that? How do you get on a keyboard and fire that off and go enter published it.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm not even laughing at that one.

[John Holmberg]

That's. No, it's horrible. I don't know how you type those words and then say okie dokie and then go on your about your day. People are horrible. Anyway, we got the hot releases coming up a little bit. Thanks for following us on the KPD News Team. Fact Hunt. I like my new phrase.

Troy Hayden Fact Hunt.

[Unidentified Caller/Guest]

We need to find something on them.

[John Holmberg]

Fact Hunt. Boy, does that sound bad. Anyway, good luck to all of you. It's a hot release is coming up in just seconds. It's 98.

[Byron]

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

[John Holmberg]

No membership fee. I have heard enough of this.
