Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Reflections on Taking Time Off and Career Longevity

• Show is closing out for the year; hosts compare their break to Howard Stern’s luxurious contract, expressing both envy and confusion.
  • "[Howard] signed a contract where they pay him not to show up for three months. As long as he shows up for the other nine, we're good." (06:07)
• Reflect on the fantasy of quitting if they won the lottery, their early career days, and maintaining enthusiasm across decades.

2. Listener Email: Evolution and Heyday of the Show

• A listener asks if the show is in its “heyday.”
  • John admits, “I think the best ever in 25 years... it was the COVID year, to be honest. That was the hardest one… and the most... I'm most proud of because... we had to make moves.” (11:44)
• The guys openly discuss hard times, imposter syndrome, and the unique challenges the pandemic presented to live radio.
  • "[COVID] taught me that... I'll take the shot... Just get this off everyone else's desk. And then after a few things happened, I'm like, I'm not gonna... necessarily just...I think I've stood in cement a little more." (16:59)
• Memorable Quote:
  "You find your voice through weird adversity. Great question, Spin and Terry." (15:06)

3. Banter About Listeners, Inside Jokes & the 25-year Journey

• Playfully break down the identities of longtime listeners “Spin and Terry,” poking fun at unique names and loyal audience stories.
• Touch on odd exchanges with listeners over the years, including stories about loyal LGBTQ listeners, wild letters, and the show's capacity to “disturb and entertain.”

4. Wild News & Cultural Detours

a) Kenyan Bullfighting on TV

• John recounts discovering Kenyan bullfighting as televised sport, marveling at the chaos and audience’s joy.
  • "Kenyan bull fighting was incredible. It's almost made me want to go to Kenya." (23:34)

b) The War on Drugs, Venezuela, and U.S. Foreign Policy

• Satirically discuss U.S. plans to intervene in Venezuela, exposing their own lack of knowledge for comedic effect.
  • "Honestly, it's hard for me to drum up anger for Venezuela. I didn't even know we were mad at him until a few weeks ago." (91:25)
  • "If you want a war on drugs? People will have to die. Lace all of it with fentanyl... that's a war." (98:05)
• Memorable quote:
  "What’s all this caring doing for your day to day... Are you okay? Are you feeling all right? Or is social media making you miserable?" (91:25 – 93:20)

c) Pop Culture: Sports, Esports, and Old Guys in Sports

• Groan about “old people” making comebacks in professional sports, eschew nostalgia for realism.
  • “I hate when old people get in sports and do well. I just hate it.” (77:01)

5. Notable Memories: Guests with the Best “Cans”

• In response to a listener question about memorable show guests, the crew fondly (and crudely) recalls memorable in-studio appearances by St. Pauli Girls, porn stars (Carmen Luvana, B.B. Jones), and celebrity Jennifer Tilly.
  • Brady: “My personal favorites were the St. Pauli Girls…” (34:01)
  • John: “Jennifer Tilly...Brady made her feel real...well, you have a bad memory...she called him creepy…” (34:24)

6. Listener Interactions, Playfulness & Social Satire

a) Brady’s Good Samaritan Problem

• John ribs Brady about his compulsive friendliness—answering the door for salesmen, promising to help a magazine salesman get a commercial trucking license.
  • John: “2026 is the year you knock it off with the door answering… You are a problem.” (138:13)
  • Brady: “I like to help people.” (142:39)
  • This running gag highlights both the show’s penchant for recurring character bits and playful social commentary.

b) Unusual Christmas Traditions

• Brady introduces listeners to “Tio de Nadal” (Catalan “pooping log” Christmas tradition), to the disbelief (and mockery) of the rest of the crew.
  • John: “No Christmas tradition includes the phrase, then it poops the presents. That’s new.” (122:40)

7. End-of-Year Traditions and Awards

a) Rock Wars: Song of the Year

  • Bret: “Making love to Morgan Wallen” – Limp Bizkit (Winner)
  • Brady: “The Spell” – Mammoth Wolfgang Van Halen
  • John: “As Alive as You Need Me to Be” – Nine Inch Nails
• Listener votes determine the winner, and the hosts consider these awards as a chance to reflect on current music and its place in their culture.

b) Show Sign-off & Acknowledgments

• Close with thanks to their audience, a reflection on the year's hardships and gratitude for their loyal listeners.
  • John: “There’s a lot of strife this year. This was a tough one. We almost left...But it was still fun coming in here with you guys was fun. And all the listeners that have said nice things to us, we appreciate you more than you know for sure.” (175:03)

Summary & Tone

The episode is a classic HMS mix of sharp-tongued banter, crude humor, unfiltered opinions, and candid self-assessment. The hosts oscillate between lampooning current events, celebrating their own mismatched personalities, and interacting with long-time listeners. Laughter is never far from the surface, but so too is a note of appreciation for the audience and the unlikely longevity of their irreverent rock radio show.

In sum, this is a laugh-filled, nostalgia-tinged, slightly chaotic finale for 2025 that celebrates decades of radio friendship and the enduring weirdness of live morning radio.

---

For those who missed it:

• You’ll get a sense of the hosts’ personalities, their views on pop culture and politics, their rapport with fans, and the way they keep it all fresh, self-deprecating, and decidedly off-the-cuff—even as they close out a quarter-century on Arizona airwaves.

Transcript

[John Holmberg]

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?

[Brady Bogan]

Brett, the last thing you want to do is sell the gun to someone who can't legally own one.

[John Holmberg]

Tell him not to put himself at risk and come into M and P.

[Brady Bogan]

Guns where he'll get a fair offer.

[John Holmberg]

And he can rest easy knowing it's.

[Brady Bogan]

Not getting into the wrong hands.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, but what if he lives out of state? Easy.

[Brady Bogan]

Legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it online.

[John Holmberg]

It really that simple? There you have it. MMP Guns or legalgunbuyer.com the safe and legal way to sell your firearms. Still streaming Homberg's morning sickness [e-mail] Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Wednesday Friday. This is it. 5:45. My name's John. There's Brady. There's Brett. There's Big Dick Toledo. And we're gonna half ass our way, limp through this mother effer, and get the hell out of here. It's Christmas time. We're going. The closest thing we get to being Beth. And now Howard Stern, which is still on my mind from yesterday. We're taking summers off. Taking summers off. Brett. Right. That's enough. I just have to take an entire season, and I don't understand. Oh, I watched this little. He did a little clip thing yesterday just because I was like, how do you do it? I'm jealous. I'm envious. I love that I found a way to have it all and still not work. And I love my job. If you love your job, why are you trying to take whole seasons off?

[Brady Bogan]

Well, he.

[John Holmberg]

I love my job. Look, I love the check, and I'm telling you, I don't want to go to it, but I love it.

[Brady Bogan]

He also feels there's a lot of people that depend on him working.

[John Holmberg]

There's tons of that. But stop it. Get over yourself. They're adults. If they can't. If they're like, what do we do now? Then they're just. They haven't been paying attention. You've worked on Howard Stern show for however many years. You can't take that resume somewhere. I just. I have to keep these people employed, and I don't know. I just don't want to go to work for, like, Three weeks, Three months. Sorry, Brett.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. When you went over the contract.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, man.

[Brady Bogan]

It's pretty nice.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, you look at it, you're like, okay, there's. That's pretty huge money. Yeah. Don't have to work for four months. Okay, that's great. So we get ours. We get to leave today. We're at even Tripp. I talked to Tripp last night. He goes, you guys done Wednesday? Like, yeah, why Wednesday? I'm like, why not Wednesday? Yeah, no, yeah, I guess that. Yeah, why not Tuesday? Actually thought about it last night. What are we doing?

[Brady Bogan]

What's Wednesday?

[John Holmberg]

We already finished up yesterday. But anyway, everybody gets that feeling. No matter how much you like your job, if somebody said, you want to take the next three months and do nothing, I don't. I don't know if I could leave. I. Feels like a trap. I don't know.

[Brady Bogan]

And then yesterday had a little added bonus potential, but it didn't happen.

[John Holmberg]

Huh?

[Brady Bogan]

I go to Cobblestone car wash the day before. I'm like. I'm not even paying attention. Oh, look at that, though.

[John Holmberg]

On Monday, the Powerball. Oh, one point. That's a billion dollars.

[Brady Bogan]

You know what? I'll buy.

[John Holmberg]

Nice. Here we go.

[Brady Bogan]

Yesterday in the paper, million dollar. You know, hit the Powerball number sold in Arizona at the Cobblestone.

[John Holmberg]

At yours. I had one years ago where somebody won a million dollars. And it was on. Was it Camp Verde? What's that little weird thing with the Taco Bell, Pizza Hut on your way to Payson? Or. No, sit on. I mean, yeah, no, no, Gila Bend's down.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

No Verde, right? I think that's Camp Verde. I think so. Yeah. And you pull over and they get this gas station, a couple little things, and, like, people. I guess, people live in that area. I know why. Jesus Christ. You lost a bet. There's nothing to do. So I got a thing. And I got to the place up in show low because we're. Or Sedona keep saying this and of Sedona. And I sat down that blah, blah, did nothing. Next day, they're like, powerball tickets sold and like, you know, off the i17. And I'm like, oh, Jeff Tripp on speed dial, waiting. I don't remember if it wasn't Camp Verde. But they kept like. They kept kind of making. Like maybe my brain was doing it. No, this was Chuck. Oh, okay. This was back when Chuck was still here. I. Oh, I was ready. I had a speech ready. Like, you know what? Hello, Ahoy, hoy. Like, hi, Chuck. It's John, your former morning guy. What do you mean? Oh, yeah, you can go yourself. I still love you as a person, but you got to find a new guy, God damn it. Give me a week. I thought about that. No, I quit today. I need a ho ho. You're killing me. Yeah, I'm sorry. I can't hear you over my new yacht. You already bought a yacht? No, those were. I faked it, but still, you know, you get to message. I'm actually in Italy having lunch right now. I'll get back to you. Me and George Clooney are having lunch, and I can't hear you. Oh, tell George I said his mother owes me money. No, I've had. But it was Camp Verde was the. Oh, it was Mayor Arizona. That was it. And they had made a mistake on the news, actually, and said that it was mayor and it wasn't. It was Prescott or something like that. I remember going to show low news, and I was like. Or watching the news there, and I'm sitting in there and I said, a ticket was sold yesterday. Oh, it's weird how you get, like, half hard. I've had a couple of those moments. Slot machines and almost hit that. You get the one that's the progressive, and it's like a million four, and you hit the first two. You never see that. That's. That's the granddaddy. And you hit the first two, and you're like, if this lands and it spins really fast, like the third reel speeds up and doesn't stop for a while, and the whole machine goes. It plays this song. You're like, oh, my God, the big ones. And then like a bar mother ever. So, yeah, we all have the dreams of what could make it so we didn't have to show up anymore. Howard just signed a contract where they. They pay him not to show up for three months. As long as he shows up for the other nine, we're good. He hit the Powerball without. Well, you know, he earned it. I'll give him. He. I don't want to get in his pockets. The man earned it. But at 71, there's a certain point where you're just like, stop it. Quit telling everybody how much you love your job and then negotiate how much you don't want to be there. I absolutely love the show is better than ever, and I love it. I'm just not going to do it for three months. Isn't that right, Red Robin?

[Brady Bogan]

Yum.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you. We're picking on Beth. It's Beth Stern over there. Yeah, yeah. Look, I got to spend three months of the time with Beth in the summer. I mean, you know, she's gonna turn 40 soon and you know where Beachbody's not going to be there, so I get it. The summers, but it's nice. So this is our last show of the year and we're all right with that. And speaking of, I got an email of like that kind of stuff. A guy. This guy said, hey, John, I just realized that when you say you're in your 25th year of doing this show, you're not joking. It's not an exaggeration. My wife and I were actually talking about it after your show Friday, which we thought was absolutely awesome by the way. You and Frank killed it. But we wondered if you feel like the show was better or worse at any given time. What would you say the heyday was? Honestly, we've been listening for 13 or 14 years and I feel like it's as good now as it's ever been, but it's definitely different than when we first started listening. Did the show ever just really suck? When was it? Great Spin and Terry sounds like. It's like Terry's dog wrote us a letter. Thanks, Spin. Fetch. I threw a frisbee for spin and he doesn't want to answer the email. He's going to bring it back to me.

[Brady Bogan]

Sounds like a comic strip.

[John Holmberg]

He actually wrote at the bottom. He said, yes, that's my wife's name too. Wait a minute. Spin is your wife? Yeah, Terry is spelled with an I. Maybe they're emailing from title nine. Oh, oh, it's one of them modern mar know. Yeah. One of them lady on lady bit marriages. I. You might be right. Halftime of a spin. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Hey now, women's volleyball game.

[Brady Bogan]

That's right. Hber.

[John Holmberg]

We don't have like lesbian couples that have been listening for 13 years. We'd have pissed them off by that. You can't lesbian couple can't listen to us for 13 years and still be okay with us. Maybe a pretty nice looking good lesbians, I would guess. I'm gonna put it in my J. Lady J. That's true. She was. Yeah, I guess spending there for a while. Lady J's around.

[Brady Bogan]

That's true.

[John Holmberg]

That's true.

[Brady Bogan]

In and out.

[John Holmberg]

What?

[Brady Bogan]

We got letters from her in.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, in the joint and out of the joint. Yeah, I guess so. You make a good point, Brady. It could be Lady J's friends. Smack that monkey. Spank your chicken. Thank you. When should I do this. Jay. Now. Now, now. Thank you.

[Brady Bogan]

Big shaven.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, this? It's big.

[Brady Bogan]

Shaved.

[John Holmberg]

Kind of like how my head was for a while. Right. And by the way, when the bald eagle has landed, the bald eagle never lands with bumps. She's talking. That woman right there was talking about her vagina.

[Brady Bogan]

Smooth landing.

[John Holmberg]

Dick is what. What do you hate more on the planet than anything? Dick. That's right. And what do you call men? Idiots. Okay. Why?

[Brady Bogan]

What are they, mentally challenged or what?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's probably it. Anyway, yeah, Brady's right. Lady J listened for a long time. But I remember meeting lesbians at the show Friday. I'd remembered Spin and Terry, the lesbian.

[Brady Bogan]

Couple we got to meet. Spin and Terry.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. I gotta meet Spin, first of all, because all I'm picturing is a border collie that's about to run a course. Anyway. Spin and Terry. I don't know.

[Brady Bogan]

Spin. I'm picturing 4, 9.

[John Holmberg]

Spin.

[Brady Bogan]

102 pounds. But he said yes.

[John Holmberg]

That's my wife's name, too. Too. T, O, O. Like, also. Like. He's also Spin and. Or Terry. I don't care about this letter. Which one are you Spin and Terry with an I? Yes, that's my wife's name, too. Is it a improper use of 2As?

[Brady Bogan]

Also, are you guys an acoustic duo? Do you do coffee houses?

[John Holmberg]

I gotta find you guys. Spin and Terry. Yeah, it's a border collie and a dude and a woman. This is a Disney movie where a lady married her dog. So what my grandpa was afraid of with gay marriage. You let him get married and then what? Then you start marrying animals. Like, I don't know if that's. Here it is. Spin and tear. Well, spin. Good boy. For figuring out the keyboard. I've watched these AI videos where bulldogs are driving and cats maybe spins one of those. I don't know if this show's better or worse. Every time. I don't know, I'm more. I don't know. There's been times it stunk. It's been challenging.

[Brady Bogan]

Has there been a dark year?

[John Holmberg]

Has there been a whole year where it's just been, this sucks. We suck.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

There's been days.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't know if we're gonna go on.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know if we can even. Like, there's never been a day where it's just been, I got nothing. I don't know. Pretty good. Somebody do something. Yeah, I'm sure.

[Brady Bogan]

Best up. We're out.

[John Holmberg]

I'm sure it sucked for a while, and I'm sure, it was great for a while, but you're talking to us like it's a eulogy. Maybe tomorrow will be great. Well, we won't be here. Maybe next year will be the best. I don't know. I can't remember yesterday's show. I don't know.

[Brady Bogan]

There's definitely been a period where it's gotten better. Feel like, oh, wow, we got rejuvenated.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Oh, no. I know what you're talking about. Yeah. When Brett got here, I think the best the show ever was for me. Wow. I don't want to do this because this seems Spin and Terry, you've ruined my mind. I'm just gonna get a stick. I need to distract spin for a minute. Who wants a cookie? Spin. Do you want a cookie? Let's get a cookie. Let's just. I think the best ever in 25 years. I think it was the COVID year, to be honest. That was the. The COVID year was the hardest one. And it was the one where it was like, wow. I think it made everybody who. We all got better at this because we had nothing. There were no advertisers. We were scared to death. The whole thing was just going to close up. No comedians coming in. Nobody could visit us, no guests, no prizes, no anything. Like, we had nothing. And we just had to come in here and the news every day was the same thing. And it was like, what do you do? And I think that was kind of the one where it challenged the most challenging and then the most. I guess the most. The one I'm most proud of because in. In that interim, we had the. We had to make moves, too. It was just, in a way, burden.

[Brady Bogan]

Has been lifted as far as the pressures of. You got to have these ratings. You got it. You know, that kind of stuff.

[John Holmberg]

I felt like that was the worst. I felt that was the most. For sure. Not even about ratings. Ratings didn't matter. It was. We didn't have a dollar coming in. There wasn't. I mean, there wasn't nobody in that time. People forget five years ago, not a soul spent money on advertising. You had a few. Like, I think the guys at Mo Money pond were doing it for like a buck. Like, nobody. This. We were dead dry. Imagine your business start back. Yeah. Your business goes from absolutely crushing to zero in a day. And that's. Most of us had that happen. And then you still got to go in there and figure it out. Good boy, Spin. Good boy. Great question. It's got me thinking. I don't know. I read that email. And I'm like. I didn't really put any thought to it till we opened the mics. I'm like, wow, that's a thing. What is it?

[Brady Bogan]

I probably had to take a, you know, reduction that year.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we took a pay cut. Everybody did.

[Brady Bogan]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

And we were told it was going to come back to us, and they kind of sat on that. And we got new furniture on the patio, though, during that time. So that is. I noticed it. Wait a second. And it wasn't. It was pretty nice, too. Well, you know, we were gonna. We were probably gonna not be able to run the air conditioning. We'd probably do the show outside. That was. Yeah, it was probably the most. I was thinking about it. That's weird. And we started off the week before 9 11. So it wasn't like. It wasn't like this thing got off to a rousing kickoff. But that was also the two tragic events of this show's timeline. 9 11, and the. And the pandemic were probably the two that just said, screw it, let's go. Because I came back from New York after 9 11, and I just sat down, I said, what it is, is what it is. And we. And Joe Piscopo was our first guest After 9 11. I'll never forget that. Oh, wow. And I just said, we're gonna go. I'm not gonna try to please people. Let's just do what we want to do.

[Brady Bogan]

We didn't grind well. I was like, whatever happens, happens. Hopefully it works.

[John Holmberg]

And let's just go. Let's just throw. I'm tired. I think without dwelling on that, I wanted to play the game. I wanted to be like the guy who helps out the bosses and whatever you need. And as you sit and apologize for everything, you know, I'm not doing that anymore. Like, this is like, we're in a world where tomorrow this thing can shut off. I think that kind of changed my mind. You find your voice through weird adversity. Great question. Spin and Terry. Thanks a lot for that. Now I got to sit and think like that.

[Brady Bogan]

Just.

[John Holmberg]

That's just stuff you ask old people. God damn it. Now we're old too. Spinning. It's your grandest time. Stop it.

[Brady Bogan]

Dave was just a Terry place.

[John Holmberg]

Dave is just asking online, is it. Was it difficult with Brady broadcasting from home for five? I mean, that's why Covid was so challenging. Like, Brady couldn't come in five weeks. It was. It felt. It felt like it was in. That was probably my favorite time I go back there. It is I go back to that. That was. I was in here pretty much alone because I had to do a show in. When we first got Brady got sick, I did a show on my phone from the car, and I would send it to Toledo. I was. I was in the car alone, talking to nobody, doing breaks, and I was like, this is turning me into something new. So, yeah, it was another one where it's like, all right. Found a new voice, found a new way to do this, and it was different. So I don't know. That's. I don't like it because. Cause that's like sitting there saying, oh, we were great then. I don't know that I've ever felt that way. I like this thing. I think we do a really nice job. But I'm like. I always feel like, what are we missing? And when is somebody going to come in and tell us we suck? Like, that's. The imposter complex lives in me in a huge way. So it's like one of these things where I just wait for somebody. But then the funny thing is that lives inside me that somebody's going to come in and tell us we suck. But if it's our current batch of owners and Bobs, I wouldn't. Like. You don't know what you're talking about. Like, so if they told me I sucked, I'm like, I don't suck. You suck. So I think they have the imposter complex more than me. So I can play that. Over the last few years, I guess, understanding the leverage, end of business side, I'm not real good at that, but I kind of got a little better. Well, I stood in a little more concrete over the last couple years.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You know, whereas before I was. I would vacillate more. Like, let's just. Let's just be. Let's just kind of take the easiest path forward. And I did that with COVID I think maybe Covid taught me that, where I sat back and said, I'll take the shot. I'll do whatever it is to make this easier on everyone. Just get this off everyone else's desk. And then after a few things happened, I'm like, I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna necessarily just. I think I've stood in cement a little more. I think that made us better at this. I don't know. That's a good question. Spin and Terry with an eye, whichever one you are. Yes. That's my wife's name, too. He says, well, the only one that's weird in there Is. Is Spin.

[Brady Bogan]

He Spin.

[John Holmberg]

You think? Yeah. Then why would he comment about his wife's name? Terry? That's normal. That doesn't make any sense. Spin and Terry. How long you guys been.

[Brady Bogan]

At first I thought, well, it's kind of like Bunny.

[John Holmberg]

But it is.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, that's not her. You know, she was given that name as a kid.

[John Holmberg]

But Terry with an eye is not a man's name. If a guy signed and it said Bunny and Spin, and it said, yes, that's my wife's name, I'd be like, okay, Bunny. That's a. That make. Ha ha ha. But Spin and Terry, trying to think, yes, that's my wife's name. Spin's the weird name. And I don't understand this. Throw a frisbee for Spin. He's those. He's the one that does the tricks off that guy's back at half times. You see that frisbee? Yeah. Frisbee dog. Yeah. He throws us air. Air something. Air Spin. We're.

[Brady Bogan]

That dog's amazing.

[John Holmberg]

Adam. He's dead. He's been long dead.

[Brady Bogan]

Really?

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, that guy. I started hating him, the dude, because he would breed those dogs to jump off of his back and make him money, which is fine. That's fun. But he took the original one, and he would. And that old dog would still jump and land on his poor little legs. And I watched him once at a son's game actually, here, and they had him out at halftime, and they're like, let's bring out the original guy. Trots out. He's still in good shape. I think it was a whippet. And Ashley, Whippet dog. I don't remember what kind of. And he throws it in the air, and dog kind of runs up his back. Doesn't even come close to catching the frisbee when he lands on the basketball court, his back leg splayed, and I'm like, he's not strong enough anymore. You gotta stop. Think I go, oh, well, thanks, everybody. And he walks away. And I'm like, oh, you prick. You're gonna run this thing until his hips explode. I mean, it's like. That's literally like. The dog was like Philip Rivers. We're all watching for when he gets hit. And it all. This was a bad idea.

[Brady Bogan]

Just before he put the J's on him. Trying to put, like, shoe mitts. Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And the last thing you want to hear is the crowd of people going, this is fun. These dogs catch everything. Is the dog laying there with two broken hips. Merry effing holidays. From the Big Red Radio 98 KUPD VRBO. Last minute deals make chasing fresh mountain powder incredibly easy.

Thankfully, somewhere in the world, it's always snowing. All you have to do is use the last minute filter on the app to book a last minute deal on a slope side private rental home. Book [e-mail] Holmberg's Morning Sickness. We'll clean them up. Don't worry. I got five others. I forgot that dude's name. God damn it. And they started doing halftime. At first it was remarkable. I loved that dog when he was young. He's springing off of his back fast.

[Brady Bogan]

He could get up and down.

[John Holmberg]

That guy could throw some great Frisbees. I'm like, he's talented too. Nobody even pays attention to where he's putting these things. It's pretty amazing. He's flipping and spinning and everything else. And then he was like 14. He's got a cataract in one eye, can't see. All right. And he throws it and the thing climbs. His back wasn't even close. Frisbee hit the ground and settled before the dog even jumped off. His shoulder hit the cork, splayed out and he just laid there, Closed his eyes. Guy scooped him up. I got a bunch of them, man. Don't worry about it. He was a cute dog, too. Someone said Gordon something. Is that right? Who's that guy's name? Look it up. Yeah, that one's gone. But it was a neat dog.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, it was the year that we did most of our shows on ice.

[John Holmberg]

With Disney on Ice. We're bringing out that Frisbee spin and Terry on the ice. Seth Meyers. It says Seth Meyers. Not that Seth Meyers, but the host of the Late show. No, not that one. Late night. His name was Seth Meyers. That doesn't seem right. Was he on Seth Meyers? Maybe when you're googling that. Speaking of things to find, you know how yesterday I was watching darts.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Telling you about how I watched darts. And they killed the wasp with darts. Is that him? And that. Think so, yeah. Mourns the loss. His dog's name was Frisbee. The original OG IG who is happy to go gray with him. Oh, so sweet. But they. He ran that thing out there one last time and it. At least I hope he didn't oh, he was tiny. He was a little. I think it was a whippet.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm thinking of another guy that I had a full sizer.

[John Holmberg]

A dog was like a German shepherd leaping off its back.

[Brady Bogan]

It was like a. A border collie.

[John Holmberg]

Was he a Chihuahua? I don't know. Huh. Anyway, Spin and terrier now, my new favorite halftime show. This guy says it's a lame nickname. Probably a bowler or something. Now all we care about about this email is like, what? Which one do you spin? And if it's the girl, how in the hell, as a man, do you spill Terry with an eye and not change that? You. If you're the dude? If you're Terry the dude, change that to a Y. Nobody. Terry with an eye is a woman. Maybe you don't care. Maybe Brady's right. Maybe it's a. I don't know. Maybe it's jg. Ask any tuna you happen to meet. What's the best chicken? Chicken of the sea. Anyway, I was watching that dart thing, and that guy killed that wasp with a dart a couple days ago. So my tv, that's what last thing I watched that night, my TV was off when I turned it back on. On this. I don't even know what channel this is. It's the Sky Sports. Like, it's a. Like the. It's Sky Sports. The Ocho. It's their thing. Kenyan bull fighting. I'm in. It's almost made me want to go to Kenya. First off, they don't even have, like.

[Brady Bogan]

Aren't they the bulls that have, like, different sets of.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't pay attention to the anatomy of the bulls. They don't even have a stadium for this. People with bulls just run to a park. It's televised in Kenya. They run to a park and they just fight the bulls. Not the people they found out. No. They just kind of wrestle and then, like, bang into each other. And then if one escapes, the one that's still there, like, if one drives the other out of the thing, there's no pen.

[Brady Bogan]

It's like roosters, because the males probably fight each other.

[John Holmberg]

You're thinking, like, in a. In like a circle, and everybody's watching. Imagine if during the baseball game, the crowd just milled around on the field because the Kenyans are all over the place, and they don't do anything. They just run around. And the bulls have no interest in the Kenyans at all. None. Much like the rest of the world. So they're. They're kind of just hanging. And then, like, bulls will show up and they bang into each other at the side. They get a little pissed, and they'll, like, move people, like, get out of the way. I got to kill that bull. And they and the bulls just kind of, like, almost just bang into each other. They're not pounding heads like you'd think, oh, this is it. And the canyons just chase them around these giant fields until one takes off and stops like. Like, bowing up. And the canyons lose their minds. And they're all in, like, you know, 20, 24 Kansas City Chiefs World Champs shirts. And, like, they're. All of them are soccer jerseys that evidently, Europe does it, too. I don't know who's won the last cup. They got the. They got the losers jerseys on, like, bullish and all this stuff that. They've got all these fake soccer jerseys. It's awesome.

[Brady Bogan]

When I get those bull fighting things on Instagram, I've seen a couple where it's looks like it's in Africa. There's another one in, like, why does.

[John Holmberg]

It look like it's an Africa, Brady?

[Brady Bogan]

Because it was like, a Saharan.

[John Holmberg]

It looked like desert. Is that why? And they did the bulls, like, Maryville, too. Maryvale bullfight.

[Brady Bogan]

And they do, like, the. The bulls would do almost like an Oklahoma drill.

[John Holmberg]

No, these weren't. They don't mention. You can't control them. They're in an open field. If you just took them over to, like, Kiwanis park and then just said, all right, everybody's just run. There's no, like, boundary. There's no pen. They stay in. There's no. Just a bunch of Kenyans running around with bulls. And then the bulls occasionally notice the other bull, and they get mad at each other, and they, like, do side hooks. And then, like, one's gonna hit them for, like, t bone each other. That's kind of a pun. Didn't mean it.

[Brady Bogan]

And they decide when it's over. The bulls.

[John Holmberg]

The bulls. And then one just runs off. And I'm like, you guys need that. That's food. Like, I thought, like, you got three giant grocery stores standing there fighting each other. Kenyans. Kenyans aren't giant grocery stores. The Kenyans are or not the Kenyans. The bulls. What are you talking. Oh, not giant groceries. Come on. Gargantuan. I'll say large. I mean, you know how many cuts of meat around there could feed that whole crowd? And I don't know. The bulls, right? So the Kenyans. No, Come on. Oh, there's no cuts of meat off the canyon. They're just running Marathons the whole time. But these guys, it was awesome. Kenyan bull fighting was incredible. I have the. If you guys want, I'll send you the clip. It's just outstanding. I was laughing the whole time. I'm like, wow, there's no rhyme or reason to any of it. And it was on again. So I got two sports now in two days. Like, I'm big into the darts now, but I don't know how to find them. Gotta find them online. And everything I'm watching is old stuff. And I think I got, I think I got spoiled in my first dart watching championship tournament when the dude killed the wasp in midair. I'm never gonna see that again. So it's. Now it's just guys playing darts. That's boring unless you've got. They need to make it a challenge where you're killing bugs. Darts is boring unless they're hitting moving objects. Now we're cooking. But Kenyan bull fighting. Get on it. Because they don't hurt the bulls at the end. The bulls are fine. And I'd have figured in Africa because that's just the way I was raised, is that you got a bull, you got a meal and they're playing with their food. I don't know, that's just dumb. I mean, if they've had bulls the whole time in Kenya, we can pretty much stop that. Do you want to donate to the Feed Africa? Sally's trying to get the hell out of here. I'm done with that. I've seen bulls, they actually play with them. They have fun with them. And I don't hear anybody emailing me go, well, bull is not the one you eat. I don't know the difference. But yes, it is. If I'm Kenyan, I'm eating a bull. Absolutely. You can't do it. But yeah, so get on that. Because it is a. It is crazy fun to watch. And I don't even understand, like, I don't know the goal and I don't know how the rules started, but if you have a bull and another guy's got a bull, all of Kenya finds out about it and they run to the middle of Kenya and they just run around next to each other for a little bit and it's over. It's crazy. I think I was watching more for just how happy the Kenyans were. Because you know what I never see on TV unless it's a marathon here in the States? Happy Kenyans. I've never seen, like, let's take a. It's never been a show on Fox. Let's go to the happy Kenyans. Talking about, oh, that's just that they're oiled up. That's India.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And that's just for the king. They're not going to eat those over there.

[Brady Bogan]

It's the original Indian wrestling.

[John Holmberg]

Leg wrestling kind of.

[Brady Bogan]

They lock. I mean, how do they know to lock up?

[John Holmberg]

And I don't know. They're just pushing on each other's heads. You haven't. You haven't lived till you've seen the Kenyans just set them free and then run around and make them kind of bang into each other. That's nuts. This one says, hey, John, ever since you came out as a money hungry gay Jew and the addition of Brett to the show, it's been awesome. Well, thank you. I agree with that. I'll say that to answer Spin and Terry's question, when I came out as a homosexual Jew, a burden was money hungry. Well, I was also money hungry. Incredibly. Yeah. It showed. Leapt to another level. And then Brett got here, and the money hungry gay Jew Brady and Brett were. Maybe it all changed when that drunk guy emailed me and called me a poor man's Howard Stern. And I called me a Jew cuck. And that's when I said, you know, sir. And I became Jewish that day and also homosexual. Just to get away with pretty much everything, you can't. In this day and age, the smart thing to do is just claim you're all of it. And then when somebody goes, I can't believe you said that. I'm like, it's okay. I'm one of them. And nobody can take that from you anymore. They set their own trap. You're transgender. Hey, don't you question my life. And like, oh, Jesus, I'm in a pit. I did this to myself. The lunatics who went totally woke didn't realize they had made it easier for us jerks to just do anything we want. Like, they tried to make speech illegal. And what they did was, you can't question anybody for feeling the way they feel. I'm like, all right, well, then I'm a gay Jew, trans, and I can say anything I want. The only thing I can't be is black, because that's visual. But if I identify as whatever, if it's just to pick and choose, if I can just reach into a hat, and that's what I am that day, okay, then I can say whatever I want. You can identify as black. No, That's a dangerous one. She's got in trouble for that. For a limited Time until you can't. Yeah, I can identify as trans gay Jew all day long just because. And the Jewish people love it because he's like, go get him. Because I speak for them. A lot of the times for the jerks that start screaming out, I. I'm. I'm Jesus. I take the slings and arrows for the. For the real Jews while these idiots scream and yell at me, you're this. That. That dude was so mad at me. All I've heard from you is that you're a. He didn't listen to the show, and that was that.

[Brady Bogan]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

That was my. In 25 years. That was my favorite moment of the show was when that dude that tried to get me fired and called me a. What do you call me? A poor man's Howard Stern. And if I got my. And if I'm right, you Gilbert goon. Yeah. You certainly have the liberal. What does it call me? A big nose liberal. Biden loving cuck. Jew. Yeah. Jew knows that was it Juneaus. Liberal Biden loving cuck Howard Stern want to Howard Stern wannabe. You got it down pat. I'm like, all right, I'll be all those things. That was a great day. And then a year later, he emailed back to apologize and said he was a drunk. And that was my favorite day because I didn't accept his apology. I went. I went on. I went in. And one last apology doubled down on why if you're an alcoholic and you did that, you just cut me out of that list. AA isn't going to be mad at you for that. Did you apologize to that disc jock you never met that you tried to get fired for a while? No. They probably fire up an email. I bet he's pretty nice about it. And I was horrible. That was. That in my life is my favorite thing that's ever happened. That's my favorite. You go eat, you alcoholic, drunken loser. I'm apologizing because I don't drink anymore. You'll be back on the bottle before you know it. You're a dickhead. And you're like, you're not a happy man. You need alcohol. Cheers. Yeah, cheers. I'm gonna go have a drink in your honor. I hope your liver falls out. Because just a year earlier, he was blaming alcohol, but boy, he was pretty together. Calling advertisers. I don't like him. I speak for the community. Like, all right. No, he was horrible picture like old school foster Brooks. I'm not. You know what? You're a gay Jew. Like, wow, this guy Is. And he was the one that was standing up for the rights of people. He was mad that I had made fun of, which was the Gilbert Gouden's moms. And I don't know how you get away with saying what you say. And it's terrible. This and that. You hook nose, Jew, gay. Like, wait a minute. You can't go down that road after telling me that I've said something offensive. You watch, you. You'll get yours. Some days. Dear Mr. Holmberg, a year later, I look back at my behavior and I'm very ashamed. And hopefully you'll accept my apology. And oh, no, you now, this one says, Brett, Enough of the gay questions from Spin and Terry. What guest had the best cans over the last 25 years? Ooh, there you go. Are we off the air forever? This is just our last day this year. What are we doing this retrospective for? Thanks, Spin and Terry. But now I'm interested to know. Oh, there's no question. The best cans. Well, oh, man. Had some good cans.

[Brady Bogan]

My personal favorites, St. Paulie girls. That can.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we had a few of those that were pretty good. Yeah. Every year the St. Pauli girls came in for no reason and you think forgot about that.

[Brady Bogan]

The hand the crown over to, you know, take that away.

[John Holmberg]

The lady that shot milk on me on August 5, 2005.

[Brady Bogan]

Those would be the most memorable.

[John Holmberg]

That's pretty memorable. And those, they were nice.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Carmen Luvana was a porn star that came in with Jesse Jane and they promoted some Pirate island movie.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, yeah. Pirates of the wasn't like a take off.

[John Holmberg]

Come on. I didn't go for the story. I just knew they were pirates. But it was when she came in. Pirates. That's right. Rich remembers. Carmen Levana was there and they had an after party at the Biltmore and she asked if I wanted to go to that. And I got scared because I didn't. I was scared of her. Those were nice. Jennifer Tilly was in here. I was just gonna say that. That was pretty good. Brady made her feel real. Well, you have bad memory. He doesn't like. He made Jennifer Tilly call him creepy. What? What'd you do? Because he got Brady. You remember. You know, Brady gets a little daffy duck around hot girls and starts trapping them and stuff. He had a few. Yeah. You hadn't seen the moon bound and you were looking pretty. And she looked at him and she goes, wow, you're creepy. I'm like, wow, Brady's the one that's going too far. She didn't like you.

[Brady Bogan]

We all know just the random. The first comment she'd been.

[John Holmberg]

No, it was the whole time.

[Brady Bogan]

And it was the one like, oh, he's chiming in.

[John Holmberg]

No, that's not what happened at all. Not even close. He was creepy from jump. He was a. You were a little. You were too anxious to meet Jennifer Tilly, and she was very pretty, but you got very anxious and a lot. You had a. You had a lot of energy. I remember it because I'm like, all right. And then she. And then you were going back and forth with her, and I'm talking with her, and then Brady had said something that was. And then she thought you were the creepy one. Who's this guy? No, it wasn't. Who's this guy? She had known you the whole time. She walked in, she's like, your energy was very. I'm in. I'm in. You give me an opening on. I'm in. That was what I felt. It was pretty. Same with. Where he doesn't read the room with. What's her name? The girl that Brit. What was her name? She turned into the porn star that came in B.B. jones. Oh, yeah. Yeah. When Brady didn't realize. Yeah, he ruined Larry's life. And I know. I know, Larry, nothing's gonna happen, but you really wrecked it. Nothing special happening. If a guy's asking a girl for a phone number, and then the next guy goes, give it to me too. And it's like, well, this just is over. It was a huge C block, and it was hilarious. And Larry's like, there I am. And I got Brady leaning over my shoulder. Yeah, me too. I got food at home. I'm trying to get this girl to go out. I got food at my house. You're gonna go out with Larry for food? You should come to my house. I got food. I'll feed you. I got a restaurant. Larry's like, okay, I'll take. I'm trying to get her to go out with me.

[Brady Bogan]

I love barbecue.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I bet you do. I got to move, Larry. I got a ton of barbecue.

[Brady Bogan]

Here's my card.

[John Holmberg]

Here's my number. Don't waste your time with Locky over here. He's camp. He's not gonna get you anything you want to eat. I got tons of that. Give me your number, too. Let's just hand your number to everybody. It was great. But that was. That was the same energy with her that you had with Jennifer Tilly. And that's why Jennifer Tilly called you creepy. And I laughed for about an hour. Because it was awesome. Yeah, those words she had that. I think B.B. jones and Jennifer Tilly best can answer that question. Anyway, I don't know.

[Brady Bogan]

The. The girl that came in with B.B. jones, the Charlie Sheen.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, on that Valentine's Day.

[Brady Bogan]

Pretty solid.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, she was cute. I don't remember. She was a like a C list porn star. And we did the. The Dating Game and Larry lost that, man. I can't catch a break in the other room. He's answering all the questions, loses the baiting game, man. Ironically, Larry did win the Dating Game, but Brady took the date.

[Brady Bogan]

Anyway, we had a good time.

[John Holmberg]

Let me head out on the. Brady just showed up. I heard you guys are going to be here at that Rhodesio Grill. We're to get our windshields replaced. Let's have a seat. Party three, please. Brady, what are you doing here? Come on, you're not going anywhere. Might as well liven it up. Yeah, Brady, he was in the middle of a move and Brady goes, me too. Oh, my God. He's third wheeling and he's killing it. I heard the first four numbers of that phone number. Why don't you hand me the last three? Let's make this official. It was a good one Anyway. Thanks, Ben and Terry, for making us go down memory lane. I didn't want to do that. I don't know why that happened. I'm still really confused.

[Brady Bogan]

Any of those divas.

[John Holmberg]

I've. You know what? I've almost always been disappointed in the divas. That English girl that came in here last year was pretty good. Was she with the guy from Falling in Reverse? Yeah, the guy from Falling in Reverse. Yeah. She was pretty, though. Divas have always come in and I'm like, what was the one that. John Cena or. It wasn't John Cena. They. He had to go to the bathroom and call his wife because.

[Brady Bogan]

No, that was.

[John Holmberg]

That was the.

[Brady Bogan]

Sean. No, not Sean.

[John Holmberg]

I remember who it was, but yeah, he had to leave and go call his wife in the bathroom because.

[Brady Bogan]

Was it Jericho?

[John Holmberg]

I don't remember who it was, but it was very bad. And it had just broken that the two that were touring were also having sex together. And they were in our studio when his wife was like, all over. Like, she found out.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, man.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, that was a pretty good one. They came back. We're real professional about it. She was beautiful. She was very pretty. Yeah. Anyway, thanks, folks. It's been a pleasure. Well, we're closing up. I'm gonna go ahead and take all the winter off now. Let's get a wake up song. The last one of the year. 585-9800 and we'll scream it together. It's 98 KUVD wake up. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. 98 K U P T. Still streaming Homberg's Morning Sickness online at 98 KUPD do. That's it. Well done by Katie and the Hobbs. Excellent job. We're so proud of you. Miles to nowhere. A great theme song and then at the Palladio just a month ago they introduced me to picklebacks. I've never understood what that was and it was awesome. Jameson and pickle juice. A fantastic beverage. Be a tough act to follow for the Thomas James. Thomas James band has confidence in him but man. Well you know. Great song. Somebody even said that in this email about Katie and the Hobbs and who would have guessed it after all the crap we gave them when. When we first heard them about how silly it sounded when she was yelling at us. This one says from David Morgan. So we bid goodbye to Katie and her Hobbs. Miles to know her. I just wanted to say their morning song was awesome. Talking about how good things have been. I think Miles to Noah's morning song was the best one so far and has ever come out of Playdoh. Just the right, right amount of rock, irreverence and comedy to match this show. I want more verses. I want them to write a longer version about Toledo going to Thailand for ladyboys and Brett disposing bodies on the west side. A true rags to riches story from last place as Katie and the Hobbs the year before to champions and I know they will be missed. This new band has big shoes to fill. David. I agree. I think that was the. Was the most theme songy theme song that we've ever had written for us and it was pretty great. So it is over officially with Miles to know where I am going to now. Ceremonial. Ceremonially snuff out Katie and the Hobbs by hitting delete.

[Brady Bogan]

Light the candle.

[John Holmberg]

I like the candle everybody. But they do have a longer version of that song. You can get it on YouTube. Do they? Yeah. Is it all about remember Because Toledo cut it down. Yeah. But did it add more words? Yeah. There was like another minute of the song.

[Brady Bogan]

It was.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Singing about Toledo and the lady boys. Not the lady boys. No. But there is a longer version of that song. How come I've never heard this? That was the first day we played it. It was the long version and Toledo had to cut it down for time.

[Brady Bogan]

Worse it doesn't have a shredding. Like a 30 second shredding.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we gotta shred a little bit, man.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't remember that.

[John Holmberg]

I don't either. How about that? All right, so, John, next contract negotiation, you need to take three months off to rest that giant nose. Thank you, Marshall. I appreciate. Very nice, everybody.

[Brady Bogan]

Point.

[John Holmberg]

Everybody's so nice to me, says, thanks for the free entertainment, boys. I hope you guys have a safe and good holiday, and I look forward to hearing from you next year. Once again, you absolutely make my mornings laughable. I'm a few. I'm a huge fan of that Huggy Bear Jew. They're so kind to me. Every message is so heartfelt. Kevin emails and says, man, my favorite time on this show, and I've been listening since day one, is you did a bit a long time ago about two planes crashing into a building. You called it 9 11. Can you replay that? No. Although I've never once listened to our 911 show. I know, it's terrible. I guarantee it's bad because I got. I had to say.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, there wasn't. I mean, it just came in to give an update and then.

[John Holmberg]

No.

[Brady Bogan]

Half. Wasn't it? Because.

[John Holmberg]

What? No.

[Brady Bogan]

I thought we went to the feed in the last. For last hours or is that after we got off?

[John Holmberg]

No, it was the last. About the last hour of the show because I had to find out. We kept calling if my. If the girl I was dating was dead because she was there. Meanwhile, I got my new boss of two weeks. Play the goddamn spots. That's all I heard. Why are you skipping commercials and talking about them like, okay? And I'm like, well, there's a chance that NBC News just said 25,000 people could be dead. We'll be right back. Hey, come to Labor Day car sale. Like, oh, my God, Labor Day car sale ads are running. It's Labor Day. This one's gonna go on for another two weeks because the world will never end. I'm like, okay, play the goddamn commercials. American Airlines wants to take you to Hawaii. Like, oh, my God. We get. Are you sure? Chuck was insane making sure those commercials played. Then I'd run out on those brick phones trying to find out if she was alive and come back and talk more about. The buildings just collapsed. They're down. Many, many dead will be. We'll be right back. What do you need, Tasha? Like, oh, no, I need something more secure in our building. Well, that's going around. Yeah, Crazy Eddies. Yeah, Crazy Eddies. Everything must go. This sail's insane. And then we're just gonna tear the building down. Oh, this is bad. This is bad.

[Brady Bogan]

What should we do? Just don't miss commercial.

[John Holmberg]

Don't miss those spots.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

They're saying now the Pentagon's been hit. This is a bad, bad day. We'll be right back. I'm leaving on a jet plane. Who wants to take a vacation? It was bad. This one says I remember one thing on this show every time I think about it. And that's when Brady got cornered by you guys asking him if he'd ever. 69. And he hemmed and hawed and then verbally argued with everyone for about 20 minutes straight on whether he'd done it or not. He got very pissed off and it created dark days. Brady and I love it. I remember that you got mad when we were saying have you ever? 69 and then you said you didn't. You yelled at us. We were laughing. That was fun. Then we tried to get him to do it with a doll and our lawyer stopped it. That would have been so good. 69. And at the U fest with a sex doll that I would have bought in a second had that thing delivered. First generation Japanese sex doll. And Brady's got a tangle up with that thing for how would you have done it? Would you have been top or bottom? I tell you exactly what you need to be. Think about this before you answer. Would you be top or bottom?

[Brady Bogan]

Don't know.

[John Holmberg]

I just, you know.

[Brady Bogan]

Game time decision.

[John Holmberg]

There's only one decision with a sex doll. You have to be the top because she can't move. So all you'd be doing is. Yeah. No, no, no. On a doll. She'd have just had you resting in there. He's uncomfortable at it now. Dark days might be making a comeback now. Did your mom land yesterday?

[Brady Bogan]

Probably wouldn't perform that on stage.

[John Holmberg]

You don't think so? Yeah, I think you should have just in the evening just get in the position.

[Brady Bogan]

It's just one of those dumb things that. 20 years later or whatever.

[John Holmberg]

Please. No. That's hilarious. 20 years later. How bad can that be? You did what with the sex though. How bad is that gonna be? 20 years. Like what's the. But you're never going to be a law. You'll be 80. Who cares? None of us are going to be around in 20 years. You'll be dead. Kirby's going to show people that my dad was kind of crazy. Man. Check it out. No, I mean it's. That couldn't come back to home.

[Brady Bogan]

There's enough stuff in the resume that's like, oh, geez.

[John Holmberg]

That wouldn't haunt you though 69 with a sex doll. Hilarious.

[Brady Bogan]

No, but.

[John Holmberg]

What he hates 69. This is. The guy was right to bring this back. That's not gonna get you 69. He might haunt you someday. End up with bumps or something if you do it to the wrong people.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. Dirty doll, huh?

[John Holmberg]

No, no, it would have been Brandon. You'd have been first one in. Very uncomfortable. Yeah, he said that wouldn't funny though. Give me that sex doll. Be rolling around up there with her for hours. That's because Bunny's listening right now.

[Brady Bogan]

I would have gone top because I would have popped that thing.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, Jesus Christ. Well, it's not a blow up. Oh, you don't like this dog? Look at him. Did Bunny come in last night?

[Brady Bogan]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, okay. Today he does have that. Oh, I thought there's an error. Yeah, he's listening right now. I mean, she could be listening. I mean, getting ready for a flight. She might. Let's see what they're talking about. Oh, Brady's having upside down relations with an inanimate object again. Yeah, my flight leaves at 3.

[Brady Bogan]

What's new?

[John Holmberg]

Anyway? I hope they hose that out. Put it in a closet. I think my wife signed one of those Howard Stern contracts. She doesn't show up to jerk me off for three months. A year too. That could be maybe one of them.

[Brady Bogan]

Wife takes the summers off.

[John Holmberg]

She takes summers off and now she's starting to work it into fall as she gets. She'd been. She'd been in it so long, she doesn't have to show up anymore. That's basically Stern saying, I've been doing this for 50 years. I shouldn't have to be here every day. And that's what a lot of guys wives do. Why we all become monks eventually. Yeah, but you probably should hear Howard Stern's voice when your wife says that. Yeah, I mean, that's just stuff we used to do when we were kids. I don't understand why you. When are you going to be done with sex? That's what my friend's wife told him. When are you gonna be done with this? Like, you mean, like right now? About three minutes? No, I mean like for good. Huh. Cordell files the paperwork. I'll be done with it. You want me to never want it again? Yeah. Oh, can I have it with other people? Good God, no. Like, I don't understand what's going on.

[Brady Bogan]

How do we work this out?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, how does this. So I have to just. You don't want any more. So now I can't. Right. He was asking me in the car. He's like, what do I say to her? I'm like, goodbye. I guess that's the.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Aren't we more than that? No. I mean, yes, but I mean, no. It's a trick question. So what you're telling me it doesn't matter that much. Right. It shouldn't matter at all. So I can do it with other people? Good God, no. It's the worst thing that could happen. I don't understand. So it can end the relationship, but you don't want it to exist at all? Yes.

[Brady Bogan]

You flip the. You know, you flip the question around. Aren't we more than this on my side of it, including sex?

[John Holmberg]

I don't care. Do you care if you're more than this?

[Brady Bogan]

No, I'm saying without sex. Way more than this. Because sex is part of.

[John Holmberg]

Sure.

[Brady Bogan]

More than. Like, you're my wife. That's generally more than just friends.

[John Holmberg]

You're not talking to me right now, are you?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my God. When did that happen? Boy, this is the best part of the show in 25 years. I guess we got married. I don't know what he's saying. Like, if she said, well, that. Like, no guy cares if he's more than this.

[Brady Bogan]

The. You hear it a lot in marriages that they're saying, okay, you know, oh, my wife told me she's out or she's no longer.

[John Holmberg]

Right. She don't want to do it anymore. Yeah, right.

[Brady Bogan]

But her point of saying, aren't we over this? Or more than this?

[John Holmberg]

Do we need that to still be together? And the dude's always like, yeah, like, I'm a simple creature part of being. I need meat. I need this thing tugged every once in a while. And sports, it's pretty much all I need. And it has nothing to do with. And I like you. Like, that's a nice. Like, I tend to like you. Is that all we are?

[Brady Bogan]

Like.

[John Holmberg]

Like, you meet target. This seems easy. Like, I'm making this easy. I think this is, like, you're making it hard. You're adding a bunch to the meat. Tug it. Sports. I like you. Like, that's. That's it. Shouldn't it be deeper than that? I can't go any deeper. This is what I got. You know what I mean? Yeah. Poor guy. I don't know. Poor, poor fellow. Emails and says his wife doesn't tug him anymore. What are you gonna do? I can't get enough reading about this Rob Reiner thing. This kid of his in the interviews over the years, God, they keep showing all these interviews from the two of them when they did the Being Charlie promo tour. And Rob Reiner and his son co wrote and then directed that together. And that kid was like, well, it's all hindsight, but because I never watched any promo clips of the Being Charlie junkie. Yeah, it was 12 years ago. 10, 10, 11 years ago. And they went on these tours of interviews promoting the movie together. And Rob Reiner was pretty much like, my name's on this, this is my son. I helped him. He did the most of this himself, but it's still lending the Reiner legacy to it. And that kid, they asked the one question 10 years ago and the guy's like, did you guys get in any battles? I mean, how does that work? Was you're, you know, creatively working on something to get any battles? And the kid just goes, you don't want to see me when I'm angry. I get real mad. It's like, what? He goes, yeah, I get pretty hot. And Rob Reiner's like, yeah, we both get pretty hot. We have tempers. But he said it different than Rob Reiner. Like, you look at.

[Brady Bogan]

You know what else I noticed on that problem is, shut up, kid. Now I'm taking over.

[John Holmberg]

Because he was about to walk into a promotional nightmare. His dad, I'm not gonna let him.

[Brady Bogan]

Go down this way.

[John Holmberg]

Good.

[Brady Bogan]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

He was right. Because he's like David Banner. You don't like me when I see me. When I. He didn't answer that question with fun. He answered it with. And I thought the one I heard.

[Brady Bogan]

Him say that you don't see. Yes, I'm explosive. Hahaha.

[John Holmberg]

THEY LAUGH he laughed because Rob Reiner fixed it. Because that kid was looking at him like, yeah, I've got a. I'm hot, I get hot. You don't want to see me when I'm mad. I don't. And Rob Reiner was like, all right, don't do this. You're not going to endear yourself to. And he was trying to sell his son as much as the movie, like, this is my son. And the son was like, he wasn't.

[Brady Bogan]

And he's trying to tell him, I understand what it is because I had a famous dad and I grew up.

[John Holmberg]

That was another interview, the one I'm talking about. And he said, that kid lost it and he started to go. And Rob Reiner was like, you're not selling you at all here. You're coming across like a lunatic. And because he was. And then the daughter said, they've lived their lives in fear of him for years. Like, they've tried so hard to make this okay. And then. And then the party, the, The. The Conan o' Brien's party is now getting a thing. And all he did was bounce around and scream at everybody, are you famous? Are you famous? And then Bill Hader told him he was in the middle of a private conversation. Would you please leave? And that's when he got real pissed off and he walked away. It can't be easy to be Carl and Rob Reiners. You know, the third level of, you know, that's some Hollywood royalty right there. And then he's trying to get into the same business, and it's, you know.

[Brady Bogan]

Trying to help your son out wherever you can.

[John Holmberg]

Sure. But that's, you know, now he's like, 40, and he's not really made a name for himself. When you look back at Carl Reiner early days, he was super famous. Had the Dick Van Dyke shows. Show shows with Sid Caesar, and the guy made it early. Then Rob Reiner comes along. He makes it in his early 20s. This kid's made no mark, and his dad's been trying to help him the whole time. And then you start reading about, like, that party. Bill Hader was the one that they're kind of blaming in a couple things, saying he set him off that set by. By saying to him, you need to walk away. Please leave. This is a private conversation. And he was driving people nuts. Do you think anybody, like, even working here, like, it would be annoying to be like, oh, God, there's Reiner, the. The kid of Rob Reiner coming in, acting like to a Hollywood party. Why was he at Conan o' Brien's party? You know, one of the, like, ever. All of us normal people who aren't famous are like, oh, that had to drive the real celebrities crazy. Like, I know why you're here. God, you're bringing the kid. And then that kid has to feel that, too. And he, he had a. Hopefully that wasn't okay.

[Brady Bogan]

We're gonna, we're gonna let you in this first year. You can come with us.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Or has he been going there?

[John Holmberg]

He may be best friends with a.

[Brady Bogan]

Lot of family and.

[John Holmberg]

But from what it sounds like he was flitting around that party, pissing everybody off with his. He was acting erratic and all reports like he was acting really.

[Brady Bogan]

You're having a holiday party, right? You're the host and you're a Buddy of yours calls you up and says, hey, can I bring my son with me? And you know, the son has been in and out of rehab 15 times.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that's Hollywood, though. Everybody at that party has about. There's about 10 people in and out.

[Brady Bogan]

Of rehab that would make it like, he's good. He's good.

[John Holmberg]

First off, the thing that makes me suck up some air is anybody who calls and asks if they can bring their kids to a party ever, the answer is no. But we have to be nice and say, I guess I just say no to people now. So if my kids come. No. Kelly downstairs has been wanting to come to a Steeler game the whole time, and she's like, can I bring my son? Like, no. He's like 18, so no, you're barely invited. Don't start acting like the whole family can come. He knows football. Like, yeah, but I don't want your kids there. Like, he's got, I don't know, no Sprites or, like, what does he drink? Fruit juice? I don't know. I got Capri Suns in the fridge. What am I gonna have, a cooler of Pepsi Free? I don't know. What. What does he drink? I don't want to babysit.

[Brady Bogan]

Put on that fireball keg and no problem.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. Well, he could, but he can't. He's got to pretend he doesn't want to be there. There's the worst thing in the world. Like, you. You want to come see Mommy's work friends? No. So, yeah. No, no, don't call people and say, can I bring my son? And plus, Rob Reiner wasn't.

[Brady Bogan]

Which I don't think he did.

[John Holmberg]

No. Because the kid's 40.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

His dad's still not calling. Oh, can I bring my son? That's not happening. But the whole thing is just really terrible. And, you know, now in hindsight, all this news coming out saying, oh, boy, this is all bad. Everything coming at you is bad. He. We knew it the whole time when that daughter said they lived in fear of him and he'd threatened him before. But that interview I watched where he gets crazy eyed and he just looks nuts. And I thought, Rob Reiner did the right thing, going, all right, you don't know what you're doing. This is a promotional junket. I've played this game a million times. Follow my lead. And he let the kid have a little rope and then he idioted it. And then Rob Reiner fixed it. And there's a. There's a magic to that when you go in like, a lot of these comedians come in that don't understand. You're selling yourself here. It's not my job to make you look good. I'll help, but. And the interview was just asking a simple question. That guy was like, well, yeah, I get angry and I get. You don't want to see me. I go off. It's like, okay, no, no, no, no, no. You can do that in a fun way.

[Brady Bogan]

And I wonder, you know, on the rest of that interview, sometimes guy just doesn't answer the question. You're like, you're with the father and son there. And he's. Maybe the interviewer asked him a couple of questions. All they were. Were just short. Yes.

[John Holmberg]

I don't know. And then all I know is what I saw.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

When I saw. The one thing that I saw was this kid, was this movie he was about to make himself. Did you see Rob Reiner's kid? He's crazy. Like, that's all I got off of that. Even watch him like, oh, yeah. This is immediately. You see, like, oh, boy, he's not there. And a lot of it's hindsight now. And you know what else?

[Brady Bogan]

It is hindsight. Because that interview happened when.

[John Holmberg]

That's like 10 years ago.

[Brady Bogan]

But I don't remember people going, man, did you see.

[John Holmberg]

Nobody watched. Nobody knew the. Nobody knew the movie. So if. If it was a bigger deal, nobody cared. Because it's like, man, kid's kind of a dick. I mean, we talked to Colin Hanks that one time. I asked him a couple questions about his dad, and he started getting really snotty, and I'm like, look, you're Tom Hanks's son. I can't get curious about how you were raised. I'm like, okay, enough. Yes, it is. And I even told him, like, yeah, that is pretty much all I care about with you. Did you really? Yeah. Because at the end of it, I asked him, I said, you still go like, what's holidays like? Because you go back to Tom.

[Brady Bogan]

It was a pretty light question.

[John Holmberg]

I wasn't even asking, you know, is that all they're going to talk to me about?

[Brady Bogan]

Touched by your dad?

[John Holmberg]

And I'm like, yeah, my. I'm curious about your life. I don't care about this movie that's coming. I'm curious, like, you've lived a life no one can understand. That's the interest of the interview. You've lived a life. I don't get. You're Tom Hanks's son. At certain point, when Forrest Gump came Out your life changed. And then you find out from him, Well, I didn't even live with them. I did Rita. He didn't like Rita the wife, and he was getting grouchy about it. Well, then don't do interviews. Or when you do them, say, hey, don't ask me about Tom Hanks. You're Tom Hanks's son. Like having Clint Howard on going, what was it like Having Ron Howard is. I don't talk about him, Alex, that's the only thing interesting about you.

[Brady Bogan]

Frank Stallone had no problem.

[John Holmberg]

Frank Stallone loved talking about all. And Frank Stallone was great because he's. All he said was, my brother had a lot of. He couldn't nail. And I took care of that for him. I was like, all right. He basically gladly took the fall off from Sylvester. Now that's how you handle Hollywood family stuff. Excellent. Anyway, and then I've got emails from people. Here's the thing that's bothering me about the Rob Reiner thing more than anything is people are now, like, you sent one last night. You weren't doing it, but you sent one last night where people are scrounging.

[Brady Bogan]

And yeah, old interview.

[John Holmberg]

Well, they're going through old things saying, this is what Rob Reiner said about Trump. This is what he's been doing. And everything I've seen so far, it's like, yeah, he hated Donald Trump, but Donald Trump's a politician. He's got it. He's got to handle that heat.

[Brady Bogan]

You got to be above that.

[John Holmberg]

You have to be way above that. So everybody's trying to find. It's okay to say that was wrong about your favorite idol hating, not liking.

[Brady Bogan]

President Trump in the office. Absolutely.

[John Holmberg]

There's a lot. But that doesn't mean anybody needs their throat slit.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And to be celebratory of that, in a weird way, there's a certain. I email back a guy, I'm like, look, I get you love Trump, but there's no reason to go back and find historical evidence that, you know, we know Rob Renner hated Donald Trump, but that doesn't mean that he should say, good, I'm glad.

[Brady Bogan]

And I know people were like, well, it's exactly what people were doing when Trump was. There was assassination.

[John Holmberg]

Sure. And he hated it. Good. Should have happened then he hated it. And it was wrong. Yeah, it's wrong to do that.

[Brady Bogan]

That's sick.

[John Holmberg]

That's. You're sick.

[Brady Bogan]

You got to be above that.

[John Holmberg]

You're. You're. You've got a disease. If your idol does something wrong and you can't go, oh, that wasn't good. There's nothing wrong with saying, I still love Trump, but I didn't like that. That was wrong, and just leave it. But they're sending me clips of Rub. This is why he did it. I'm like, oh, I understand his pettiness.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And I love pettiness, but not from that office, not from that position. I should be petty. Brady should be petty. He should be. Every day. He should make a joke about Michigan every day. I believe off the air, he calls the retards in Michigan still want him to be there. Like, that kind of crap should come out on the air. It's not gonna. But it should. Those dumb morons up in Arbor, they still want that. I'm like, brady, why isn't this on the air? Oh, no, no, I don't want to do that. I want to sound petty. I love petty. Brady about Michigan. You should do it every day. But if you were the president of the company and you're doing. I'm like, I don't think this is good for the Michigan cluster. I think you probably keep that to yourself. Do it like everyone else does. Wander around with your friends and say horrible things about a tragedy and don't make it public. But there's. Yeah, I just. I've gotten a lot of people, like, see, this is Rob Reiner saying bad things about him. I'm like, oh, yeah. He and I. The first guy said, you're right, I'm wrong. It's good that he got his head cut off. I'm not saying that. I'm like, why are you bothering me with this then? Well, you said that it was, like, bad, but, I mean, dude had his. Somebody tried to kill him twice. I'm like, I know. He should be more empathetic to murder. I think that's all. It's a pretty horrible thing to have tweeted and to make it about Trump derangement syndrome, which, by the way, he should be having fun with elsewhere because it's very real. But don't. Don't. What he did was just inexcusable. And to defend it makes you look crazy. I get it. Rob Reiner didn't like Donald Trump. Donald Trump ran for president knowing that he was gonna. Like, there's gonna be a bunch of people that. Have you ever seen a president where everybody's like, this guy's awesome. Across the board, people hated every president. Obama took a beat. Whatever side he's not on takes a beating. No one should get their Throats slit just for not liking someone to blame it on that. Well, to even have it politicized. Yes. He was very politically active. I didn't agree with any of how he handled himself either, but it doesn't mean, you know. And the one guy said, you think that if Trump would have died, Rob Reiner wouldn't have celebrated. I'm like, we don't. We'll never know. That's all hypothetical. Yeah, that's a. It's nonsense. It's weird, though. And then the kid went back to the hotel room covered in blood. Bloodied up the whole hotel room. When they went back to go to find it, did you see that? The hotel room Reiner's son went back to was just a bloody disaster. Blood trail. He was covered in it, they think now.

[Brady Bogan]

Just didn't care.

[John Holmberg]

Nuts.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

He went back to probably clean up, but he was. He was. So cup. Cut somebody's throat. This is why OJ's argument was pretty solid. If I'd have. If I'd have done what you said, I'd been covered in blood, and then this kid was. And then they think that maybe he did it after that party and just left him there because they didn't find him till three the next day. And the daughter said they'd already hit rigor mortis. They were stiff, awful, and that kind of stuff. You can't. You know, again, you can hate someone and their heads get cut off. You should be like, for a second, just go, that's too far. You shouldn't jump on Twitter. I've got a few things to say about this. Dear Twitter, this is because of me. Yeah. I thought it was inexcusable. I've been going back and forth with a guy, so it's on my mind about, like. All right, you need to calm the F down about this. I'm just saying he said it for a reason. I'm like, shh. That's the better thing to say. Shh. Merry effing holidays from the Big Red Radio kupd. Holmberg's morning sickness. Go bomb Venezuela for Christmas. I mean, that's going to be the fun of our. Christmas is going to be a blast. Literally. We're going to blow up Venezuela. I didn't know we were even mad at Venezuela until about a month and a half ago. And now I'm pretty sure we're going to take it.

[Brady Bogan]

Realize how mad.

[John Holmberg]

I'm pretty sure it's going to be a state. I'm pretty sure we're going to blow up Venezuela it's getting like. Did you know this was a thing?

[Brady Bogan]

No, I just remember a few years back, there's. They're not real happy about the current president.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, sure, yeah. That happens all over. But I don't know what was said back.

[Brady Bogan]

And then I didn't realize the cartel power, how much stuff was coming through there.

[John Holmberg]

Sure, loads of it.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

But I didn't know that it was getting to the point where, like, we gotta blow them up. And now we're gonna do it, so. Okay. I guess I'm on that side. Love Venezuela. I get it. Makes sense. But I'm all right. I like the boat videos. That's like a video game to me. I think that's fun. And I have no beef with blowing up drug boats so long as they keep doing that. Like, if the boat full of nuns, we're gonna have a problem. If. That's gonna be the new GTA blowing up boats and stuff, man. Brett, don't. Don't tickle. Don't you dare tickle the tip. GTA is next October now gotta wait to blow up Venezuelan boats for. Could somebody quick make a game of the Trump and the boats?

[Brady Bogan]

That's why they had it on there, and that's why they got the call.

[John Holmberg]

No, you can't.

[Brady Bogan]

You gotta push back.

[John Holmberg]

No way. They GTA would have added more boats and screams. I don't think the screaming and struggling is authentic enough for our second go round. When the survivors are yelling, you can't hear it from the plane. So we need that to be. We need the screaming to be louder. Well, I have to move it back to October to make it more violent. Yeah, please do that. Yeah, that's an awesome. There's an old computer game called Gato. It was just blowing up Navy subs for U boats and stuff. The graphics were awful. But me and my friend Stebbings played that for hours on a Commodore 64. And the main reason why is because the second version of it, when you blew up the boats, people's like stick figure bodies floated. This might be the greatest thing that's ever happened to me as a child. Duckle. It was a terrible game. It took forever to lo boat. It was just miserable. But when the boat blew up in number two, their little stick figure. But there it is. That's the original, though. That's the early one. God, you know what? The original one class submarine. I don't remember. Let me see this. It was awful. But after a while, they did stick figures that would come out of the bodies. Yeah. This is just the one where you had to chart where you're. It was basically Battleship. Well, there was another one here. And you had to pick up sub torpedoes. Jesus. This is a brand new version of Gato. This might have people just exploding. Oh, Gato stuck around for 25 years. Apparently. This was a year ago. A new deep stuff.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

We can plant something. Guy playing on esports Gato. Well, those graphics are pretty amazing. That's incredible. Maybe Trump just thinks he's playing Gato. I wanted Gato last night. I did another one. I got three. How many did you get? Hegseth. Sir, that's real. I know. It's so amazing. The graphics are unbelievable. Hegseth. How did you do this? Sir, that's very real. It's almost like it's happening. Sir, there's real people down there. I. Look, Pete. I know. I'm watching it. I want to talk to the guy who created this. He's amazing. Gotto. And then remember that was the next thing that came out was when they used. When he used to hit hockey players and make them bleed. Oh yeah. And the original John Madden. The ambulance would drive out onto the field and hit other players. It was awesome violence ran through the day that we took away the bloody hockey player. I hated swingers when they were.

[Brady Bogan]

Watch.

[John Holmberg]

Watch them make Wayne bleed. Yeah, you couldn't knock Wayne out. But your. Your guy got kicked out the second. But man, when you made little 99 bleed and on the ice and they'd come out and pick him up in an ambulance and then you just keep hitting B and skate guys in front of the ambulance. And then they took it away from us. It's too violent. Don't blame us. We liked it. You guys are the ones who did it. We need to take it back. That was my favorite thing in video games ever. My friend Steve Miller. Not that one. Played John Madden football all the time. And when we discovered that ambulance.

[Brady Bogan]

Bring it on, baby.

[John Holmberg]

We would. After the play you used to be able to just launch into a guy while he's just standing there. And you could break backs. You took the biggest dude you just beat until you got the biggest dude just standing there. It would say 72 and they were always kind of like bouncing a little because it was the bits. 32 bits. Never made him hold still. And then you just go. And he just hit the quarterback in the back. You'd get a 15 yard flag but then that ambulance would come out and run over everybody.

[Brady Bogan]

Was it street fire? The one that pulled the skull and Spine.

[John Holmberg]

Yes. Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat, that's right. They just spine a. Dude, get over here. That's what video games matter. Not like the one I'm doing now. Venezuelan drug boats. I play it every day. Got him, Heggy. Sir, that was a very real one. I know. I hit him right in them. Oh, look, there's one struggling. Get him. Do the flyback. There you go. Bye bye. Venezuela. I don't know what's going on there. It's oil. I mean, it's all oil based, but I didn't know we were mad at them. So for the holidays, we're gonna blow up Venezuela. I hear it's beautiful. Hopefully don't wreck it. Venezuela, my friend, goes down to Medellin every once in a while. Now in Colombia, that's a. Another body that destination.

[Brady Bogan]

A former buddy.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, Every movie I've ever seen is like, don't go there. He comes back with pictures. I'm like. He's like, it's beautiful. And then they have super cheap. It's like a dollar. Everything's a dollar. So go down there and give him a buck. You get everything. And then there's this one section by the. That's still walled off. They walled out the poor people. And they live in these tunnels and stuff by the ocean. And then just above that is like, nice. And that's where. What do they call that thing, though they live. And then you can actually. It's a tourist attraction. To go through that dude Pablo Escobar's house. That's like one of the biggest things. Yeah. And it's. They just where they'll walk you through this. DC Ditono, he used to use to run drugs and dead people.

[Brady Bogan]

Here's the prison he built.

[John Holmberg]

It's their proudest thing. What else do you know about Colombia? Nothing. They made their mark on cocaine and they tore it. Yeah. Take a tour bus.

[Brady Bogan]

Those days are over.

[John Holmberg]

This is it. No, they're not. We love the cocaine. We take the tour bus over to his house and then we drive around and we look for where the bodies were. For that bizarre. We don't have anything.

[Brady Bogan]

Show you the whole distribution chain.

[John Holmberg]

Does Colombia have any, like, fun parks? Yeah, we have cocaine land. We have Powder Island. This is where they filmed Romancing the story. They filmed a little bit. We got the Michael Douglas give you.

[Brady Bogan]

A free package to take back to.

[John Holmberg]

The States for your family and friends. Here's a little package for the kids. It's called A little. The Little Cocaine. Here's some yayo for you, little fellow. You give us a little yayo. Are you gonna take us to the fun park we are going to? We just went to the fun park. You're gonna have a good time.

[Brady Bogan]

There's the cutout of Pablo. You can take pictures with him.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, if you want, for an extra $10, you can snore a line off. If he's. They have a carbon cutout and we put a dick on it. You can snort a line of Pablo's dick. $10, honey, you can't beat these prices.

[Brady Bogan]

Great Christmas photo.

[John Holmberg]

That's awesome. Send that to everyone. Put that on my Insta. And we were down there in Columbia snorting coke off at Pablo's cutout. It was pretty fun.

[Brady Bogan]

Kids.

[John Holmberg]

Got yaya.

[Brady Bogan]

You do the tour? I do, but I don't remember it.

[John Holmberg]

It was great. The whole trip was sort of a blur. I think we were here for a year.

[Brady Bogan]

The place is so clean.

[John Holmberg]

It's just an amazing thing. It's beautiful. Don't go down in that little area, though, by the ocean where the. Those people live. We have soccer field, sometimes we do some killings. The views. You can't beat the views. I don't. I don't know anything about Colombia outside of. Oh, that's a coke. When my friend. And it was Janny, my African friend, John, you have to go to Colombia with me. I'm like the second worst thing you've ever said to me besides come back to the Sudan. I'm not going to the Sudan. You are the worst travel agent in the world. Come to Colombia. It's amazing. What do they have? Cocaine? I don't do the cocaine. The views and the women are a dollar. A dollar? They're a dollar. Wow. Janny goes, Jani had a girlfriend there for like a minute. He went down there, met somebody in a week, and had like, no, like, a real relationship. She didn't speak English. I don't know how it worked. They would translate things back and forth. I know.

[Brady Bogan]

And it was there for like, the dude I knew went down there, Got.

[John Holmberg]

A girlfriend, Larry can't find one here. Janny was in Colombia for an hour and he's like, I'm getting married. Like, what happened? He has like a girl in a. Every section that he travels. I was in Mexico and I. My girlfriend. I'm like, wait a minute. What about the one from Colombia? Oh, no, that's my Central American girlfriend. Like, you can do that? I do, man. You're real. And you can't get mad at him because he just Goes. I was a lost boy of the Sudan. I ate my friend's legs and urine to survive on a two year trek through the. All right, all right. You can have as many girlfriends as you want. Thank you. Then he just goes and does baths with them. It's great. But he tried to get me to go to Colombia with him. You need to come with me. Never. Because he'll go anywhere. He's not afraid of anything. He wrestled lions and stuff as a kid. He was just at Columbia. That's nothing. But we're gonna blow up most of that soon. I think it's great. I'm here for the last. I don't even understand why we do anything anymore. Venezuela's pissing us off. Let's get rid of them. I'm done with caring. What about the poor Venezuelans? I don't even know to be honest with you. If you took all the names off a map, it's somewhere down there. It's in that middle part. I know where Panama is because I can find the canal. But Venezuela below the canal. It's gray area. Is it? I believe so. Isn't it? Isn't a Panama above Columbia? Yeah, it is. Let's pull up a map. See where it is I'm talking about. It's a good thing I'm not in charge of the flight over. Bombing everything until I hit it. But that'll be fun. I'm into bull fighting in Africa because it's different than in Mexico. And I'm completely and utterly into just a video game type stuff on the news. I think it's fun. Then I saw another thing and I just don't want to be true. Is that they have 90 year old esports now.

[Brady Bogan]

Come on.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they got nine year. Some 92 year old woman is the world champion at esports.

[Brady Bogan]

And in her age group.

[John Holmberg]

Well, yeah, she's not. She didn't. That I would be impressed with. But again it would be. My theory would come true. It's like, oh, there's something wrong with esports if a 90 year old's winning it. The same reason that Philip and Philip Rivers did absolute nothing in that game the other night except show up and the media's just jerking it off.

[Brady Bogan]

I want to see it again.

[John Holmberg]

No, it's you. I want to see him get hurt or fail. Yeah, I want to see him failed. Only old people over 40 are interested in Philip Rivers doing well because it makes us feel better about aging. He. He was horrible. He played horrible. His throws are bad. He just looked terrible. He's fat. When he would get up, that was my favorite part. If somebody knocked him down, he didn't spring back up. He had to get to his knees. Yeah, he had to do the little roll and he had to do that strange like two sit up rock to get his legs back. And I'm like, that's funny. I hate when old people get in sports and do well. I just hate it. And Philip Rivers coming back tells me immediately there's something very wrong with the NFL that he's still able to play. Like we have a. There's a low talent level at age. If a guy can just go, I'll do it. And he's 44 and they're asking Ben Roethlisberger, you want to come back? I'm like, no, he was horrible his last couple years. Why would he be better now? This is a terrible idea.

[Brady Bogan]

In all the practice squads there's not a core that you could just pull off. Not one.

[John Holmberg]

I thought he was pretty good. He had a hundred yards through three quarters and threw a game losing interception at the end. Everybody's like, well that's pretty impressive. What? That he's alive. I guess. If that's your bar for impressive. So some 92 year old woman's doing esports now and she won. And I'm like, who did she beat? How many 90 year olds are out there playing anything?

[Brady Bogan]

10 maybe.

[John Holmberg]

If there's 10, I'm shocked. But some, yeah, some old broad did it. 92 year old grandma wins Tekken 8 tournament with Japanese Senior citizen esports. Yeah, sure. Our name's in here too. Goroma92 and she started to play Tekken 8 and then probably started her own like group at the home.

[Brady Bogan]

You got a lot of downtime at the home?

[John Holmberg]

Oh sure, you can work. Her fingers are probably just loaded with arthritis and stuff from rolling sushi her whole life. And then the rest of them at the home sitting there like she's rolling sushi. Please, she's a 92 year old woman. That's something I would say. I'm not wrong. A lot of the times you're not wrong either. You just are callous about it.

[Brady Bogan]

Making tofu.

[John Holmberg]

Look Brady, you can back me up on this. It's only been like 30 years since she didn't have to have her feet bound by her master. She's been rolling sushi. That place wasn't exactly the kindest to the ladies back in, you know, before Sunshine hit them in the 40s and she was around for that. She remembers the Bomb. Now she's an esports champion. I would watch for two minutes and I'd be like, she's not playing anybody any good.

[Brady Bogan]

Who else is there, senior level in that game?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, who else is competitive in. In Tekken 8? Philip Rivers maybe. And he's 44. He's more than half her age. She played. She's been playing since 2019. She started tournaments with someone named Othello Rogori. And it's just there. Come on, you don't want to watch 92 year old people do anything. And then they're like they're celebrating. It's just that what we're really celebrating is that they're not dead.

[Brady Bogan]

So she beat him.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I don't know if it was a guy or a girl. I don't know the names. Othello could be a woman.

[Brady Bogan]

Shakespeare. Japanese Shakespeare.

[John Holmberg]

No, wait. Her name's Hisako Saiki and she's. Yeah. Anyway, she's rolling sushi and then somebody said, you're good with your hands. You want to here, try this video game? And she took to it and then she challenged everybody else at the home and they started a tournament. And then the news is like, she's alive and she's doing things. That's a story. If you make it to 92 and you cross the street without help, people, the news will cover it because you're not supposed to be here anymore.

[Brady Bogan]

That's good at least to get, you know, to do more different games, electronic games, rather than, you know, doing Godzilla coloring books.

[John Holmberg]

Which is probably fairly factual to what goes on at a very Japanese retirement system. You quiet on eat a sushi, car and Godzilla. We are so goddamn stereotyped. It's not fair. You're outside of the lines. Try again. What? Yeah, she's making sushi and doing her thing. I so tired of covering Godzilla. Can we get PlayStation 5? You get the PlayStation 5 when you make a PlayStation 5. Okay. Japanese probably whipped up a PlayStation 5 pretty quick. She knitted one up. I don't know. Took the TV apart and rebuilt it.

[Brady Bogan]

One of the Sonys was at the home.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I made it happen. I make a PlayStation 5 out of robots. Yeah. She took the toaster apart. Next thing you know they're playing Tekken 8. That's what I think. Then they stopped. Like Brady said, Coloring in those Godzilla books, that's all they've got. It's fun to think we're right. We have no other interest at all. We're right. Video game, sushi and Godzilla. Mother of bed. Don't occur in Mathra. It only antagonize him. We also don't speak our own language. Just broken English. I like fake Japan in my mind much more than real Japan could ever be. I'd be disappointed in real Japan that it isn't. That they're not coloring in Godzilla books. They got actual interests. I didn't need to know this. Will you like a baseball, dojo Sushi curring book, PlayStation? I don't want to know the nuance of it all. And we hate our own language. Speak only other languages to some crazy. I love that. Stereotypes are funny for a reason. Whether they're true or not, I don't care you're talking to me about it. I'm gonna prep. When I say that the coloring book things got me because they just get bored and cross their arms. What else is there to do? You could color. Oh, I'll cover a book. I like coloring anyway. 93 year old lady won the Tekken 8 tournament for 90 year olds. And she's gotta be the only one. She beat one other guy who's got like a. A watch eye and like a broken arm. He wheeled in, played Tekken 8. First I kick your ass. And it was over. I just don't like. I don't like watching old people win. I don't like. I don't like watching old people do anything. Especially Philip Rivers. I can't stand him. And then he started to cry and you lost. He started to cry in his press conference. Just get out there and do my things. Like you lost and you weren't good. Just showing up is all you cared about. If I was a Colts fan, I'd be furious. We didn't have a better plan than this. If Daniel Jones, which we didn't expect to be good in the first place, but we didn't have it. Just in case he gets hurt or sucks. Our plan was to call Philip. Why didn't you call Johnny? Unitis wife. Do you have any kids still with Johnny or. I'm the new owner of the Colts. Johnny's been gone for a while.

[Brady Bogan]

Jenny.

[John Holmberg]

Grandkids that. Can anybody throw anything? We'll just take them and try Phillip Rivers. Oh, that's a good idea. We have no plan. That's a Cardinal move.

[Brady Bogan]

Impatient. Wait two more years. You got his kid?

[John Holmberg]

Who? Philip Rivers? Yeah, he's got a. Yeah, well, okay, but fine, just don't.

[Brady Bogan]

They don't have that time.

[John Holmberg]

Could you imagine if the Cardinals did that? Oh, geez. We don't like this whole thing. And Jacoby Brissette's hurt and we don't want to go with Slovis, even though he's a local. Then we're not going to put slowest. Let's call Kurt Warner and see what he's up to. If they dressed Kurt Warner up in the outfit again and shoved him out on the field, Anyone excited is a. Does Neil Lomax still?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You are dumb if you. Oh, this is great. Kurt Warner's out there whipping footballs around like it's gonna. You're just. This is a plan for losing. If you're okay with it, you'd have.

[Brady Bogan]

To get it cleared by Brenda first.

[John Holmberg]

Brenda's probably just as good as Kurt at this point. I hate that. I hate when box old. But Bud Crawford retired from boxing. He's one of the best I've ever watched, and he just retired yesterday. And already Jake Paul's calling him out. Like, please don't. Just let your legacy go. Please don't.

[Brady Bogan]

Was Pacquiao talking about fighting?

[John Holmberg]

Pacquiao did fight. He's 45. Nobody needs 47. He wasn't good. That was 45 his last couple fights. He wasn't good when he was still fighting. Then he took years off and comes back older. You think he's going to be better? No, I hate when old people do well in sports. Hate just proves there's. The sport is broken. Brett, what do you got in the big machine over there? All right, Wake Up Song brought to you by Action Ride Shop and get those Christmas presents now. Get yourself or your loved one a brand new beach cruiser right now, all in stock. Beach cruisers over at Action ride shop are 20% off. Josh and the boys are going to hook you up.

And they'll rent it to you as well. So it's actionrideshop.com well, I just got reminded that Sofia Vergara is Colombian. So their two main exports were cocaine and her. I think America took to that. I think America. America really kind of liked pretty much everything you're doing. You mixed in that fentanyl and made everything bad. But for a while there, you guys were the coke and the Sofia Vergaras were. That's pretty good stuff. I don't think I have any complaints about what they're. And oil. I don't know if they're doing it too, but Venezuela is But I'm. Yeah, I'm a fan. And that was a heck of a picture Sean just sent me of her saying, yeah, they also sent us this, and it's Sofia Vergara in a bikini. You're like, yeah, that's a win. Hopefully we don't get too mad at Colombia. Venezuela is going to disappear. If you had Christmas plans to go get your cocaine tree down in Venezuela, it's. Might want to rethink that. Head to Florida instead. Just as much cocaine there. What do you got on the list? Parkway Drive dedicated for John not pulling a Stern Megadeth A two Limone for the end of the year. Coffin Cats, Slipknot, Volbeat, Mud Vein, Orbit Culture, Five Finger Death Punch. Lou Rawls making an appearance on there. For some reason, Social D, you'll never find. Yeah, I think that's. They just want to hear Kiss 12:30. Guy.

[Brady Bogan]

That's low Ross. Is that a different band?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, he spelled it. It doesn't matter. Lil Rolls is a rapper.

[Brady Bogan]

I like it.

[John Holmberg]

It's little Rolls. Yeah, there you go. We can do this. All right. God. That's just the intro. It's just it. Immediately Br. Give me a little kiss. 12:30. Go.

[Brady Bogan]

Who, me?

[John Holmberg]

You're Brady, right? That's you. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

I thought you said Brett.

[John Holmberg]

No, I said Brady. As a Japanese woman coloring. Go.

[Brady Bogan]

I enjoy this 12:30.

[John Holmberg]

Never mind, Brett.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't know.

[John Holmberg]

Hello there. You got eight seconds, Brett.

[Brady Bogan]

Hello there.

[John Holmberg]

This is Lou Ross. No, that's not good.

[Brady Bogan]

Hello there. Tom, Jerry.

[John Holmberg]

Ah, it's such a great song. Kiss Love Gun on there. Frank Stallone, far from over for the show. And the Hives Countdown to shut down for the show of the year. I figured that was for the end. That's what we do. Countdown to shut down is the one. Load it up because that's it. We're done after today. And Brady's mom's coming to town. Bunny's flying out, right?

[Brady Bogan]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

She's gonna be here the whole time?

[Brady Bogan]

Seven days.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, she's sticking around for a while. Any of the other family rolling out?

[Brady Bogan]

Getting her out Christmas morning. Get out.

[John Holmberg]

She's flying back on Christmas. That's smart. Nobody travels on Christmas Day. And no other families coming out. It's just you guys. Nice. She's gonna love it. That's gonna be good. Getting out of Columbus, which sucks, cold.

[Brady Bogan]

Miserable when she gets back.

[John Holmberg]

And Ohio off to Florida. Yeah, she's going to Florida to hang out for. That's good. That's living right there. All right, well, the countdown to Shutdown begins as our final show is on. Right now, it's the hives. It's 98 Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. Still streaming Homburg's morning sickness [e-mail]. I got an email from a guy that says, john, it has to be for show. I know you're just here for the jokes. I love you, but, dude, you have to care about what's happening in Venezuela more than you say. If we go to war with them, it's gonna be awful. It's imperative people like you say something and care about this. People listen to you. I hope you're just kidding, Henry. No, honestly, it's hard for me to drum up anger for Venezuela. I didn't even know we were mad at him until a few weeks ago. I need some. I need to. I need a James Bond villain here. They have to do some better. They've done a poor job of introducing me to this president. I don't know. Like, I just saw a picture of him, I think for the first time yesterday. I'm like, okay, we're mad at him. I'm fine with that. You're gonna sell me the war right now. It's like. And again, I ask everybody who's political and a little bit crazy, what's all this caring doing for your day to day when you're out there, quote, caring about all this stuff that social media tells you to, quote, care about. What's it doing? Are you okay? Are you feeling all right? Or social media making you miserable? I don't have it and I'm fine. I turn around sometimes. Go. We go to war with Venezuela. Okay, Brett, what time you want to meet at Ingos? That's pretty much how I feel about. There's nothing my caring is going to do. I don't want anybody to die. I don't want anybody to come here and hurt us right now. I didn't even know we were mad at him. I'm just being honest. Maybe I will care, but right now I can't. I don't have enough energy to get angry at that. Who is the president of Venezuela, exactly?

[Brady Bogan]

President Venezuela. Hugo Chavez.

[John Holmberg]

No, no. None of us know. And suddenly I have to act like I'm fired up about it. I'm not Edward James almost. That's.

[Brady Bogan]

He plays every.

[John Holmberg]

Every. If I were to cast anyone to play the president of Venezuela, if he alive, it's that guy who's your second choice. Now that he's gone, it's tough. Danny Treo. Danny Trejo might be my guy. Yeah, Danny's the guy. Lou Diamond Phillips does a good job at that, too. I mean, he played Richie Valance. Very solid choice right there. We'll call them both for the made for TV movie we're making about. Are we. I'm calling it Are we mad at Venezuela? I mean, Daniel Noriega and Edward James almost had to happen when we went after Panama back in the 80s. It's like, well, that's easy.

[Brady Bogan]

I'll go for Cheech.

[John Holmberg]

Cheech Marine.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. He's been doing some dramatic roles.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's a good one. I have not seen Cheech or the president of Venezuela, but I think for the most part, we can make people believe that's real now. We're still safe. Edward James almost still alive. Is he still. Yeah, so he's. He's in. Does the Venezuelan guy have a terrible acne problem? Yeah, I don't know. Look him up. I have to know the name of the guy we're mad at to be mad. I'm not mad. I want to be. I will be. I'm capable of it. But I just currently am. Like, oh, I found out this morning that were we're doing stuff that might lead to, like, a. A conflict, not a war so much, but like, trying to get rid of a guy. I don't even know who the guy is. I'm not mad at him yet. It's like going to a James Bond movie and not knowing who the villain is till the third act. Okay. Jeez, this is a tough one. Ah, Edward could pull that off. Edward James almost could definitely pull that off. Can't quite. He looks a little like if you put a fat suit on Travis Kelsey and dyed his hair. And maybe Travis Kelsey, when he leaves, he looks like the villain from Johnny Dangerously.

[Brady Bogan]

He does.

[John Holmberg]

He does. Yeah. You far again. He's got gray hair. Yeah. These farging guys. Farging. Anyway. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't know Nicholas Maduro. Okay, I know that I've heard the name. I just didn't know I was mad. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to you, Henry. I wish I was more, but I can't get fired up about something I wasn't mad about yesterday just because I was told to. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, it's Roman Maroney. Roman Maroney from Johnny Dangerously. What a pull. Brett yanks out of Johnny Dangerously. It's the same guy. Everybody Google villain from Johnny Dangerously. Yeah, I know. You haven't seen it. Nobody cared about it. It's a bad movie, but it's the same guy. It's the movie version.

[Brady Bogan]

You had to have recently seen that because that's amazing.

[John Holmberg]

It lives in him.

[Brady Bogan]

It does?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Johnny Dangerously lives in him. I can't do this. Michael Keaton and Joe Piscopo, the second mention on the show today, responsible for the Mother's Day Massacre, the Christmas Day slaughter, the Lincoln's birthday mutilation, and the Groundhog's Day beheadings. Before we begin the questions, my client would like to read from a prepared statement.

[Brady Bogan]

Go ahead.

[John Holmberg]

This is the president of Venezuela. I would like to direct this to the distinguished members of the panel. You lousy corksucker. Wait a minute. He said cork. He said cork. I dumped it anyway, just in case. Corksucker is different than what I thought I heard. Hilarious. So, yeah, Henry, you're right. Should I care more?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

But I have to understand. I just can't care for no reason. Brady, you don't care. You don't know anything that's going on either. Are you fired up about it?

[Brady Bogan]

No, but I'm. You know, you mentioned it. I've. I think a couple of those videos.

[John Holmberg]

Are pretty cool when they're blowing up those boats. Yeah. Right. But I thought that was what we were doing. I didn't know we were mad at the whole place. I thought we're just mad at, like, the dude in charge. And I know we're gonna go after everything. All right, you know what? Over the break, I'll get worked up on that and I'll come back. Matt, if you want, if that's what you're asking. Right now, I'm just kind of focused on Christmas.

[Brady Bogan]

I know. This morning we're blocking the oil.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, but that's a big ships. That's a pretty big move, right? Yeah. All of it's just you. We've got a blockade going. It's. You know, it's posturing for trouble, but I'm fine with that. I just don't understand it. And I can't pretend to be mad when I'm not. I wish I could. I wish all those Venezuelans. I don't think I'm mad at them. I think it's inauthentic for me to be mad at the Venezuelans. Guy said, jesus, you Jew. Ice hole. Good pull on Roman Maroney as Maduro from Venezuela. Brett. Yeah, that's. That's. That's really all that's gonna. You know what you just did? You're gonna make me remember the Venezuelan president. In my head I'm gonna picture Roman Maroney. But now I know it's Maduro. Nice job, Brad. All right, Henry, I'll try. Oh, let me practice. God damn Venezuelans. And then I think it's Sophia Ver. And I'm like, we can't hurt these people. What if there's more? Keep the bombs away from those farging women. Cork suckers. Anyway, I don't want to be angry all day long at stuff I can't control. Just man at Philip Rivers and sports and stuff. That's just. I have a passion about. I'm a passion about Venezuela yet. Soon maybe you'll say something that gets me going. But right now, if the drugs are coming into the country, there's an easy way to stop that, which is to keep an eye on your kids. This one says Henry and I are going to call Venezuela John and tell them that your single handed lack of empathy is the sole catalyst for us invading them. How dare you. It says. Honestly, I agree with you on selling war to the people. I just wish they'd quit dicking around with us on the war on drugs and say what they're really thinking. Do you want to pay $5 for gas or a dollar? Cuz you're right. That's it. If it's a dollar for now you sold me. Get gas down to a buck. Let's up Venezuela like tooth. Sweet. But I don't know what's going on. I'm not smart enough to be mad about it, so I'm just going to be stupid. It's fun. It's fun, right?

[Brady Bogan]

I didn't know they were responsible for a lot of the drug stuff coming through there. It seems like they're Mexico.

[John Holmberg]

Really? Look, isn't it? Yeah, I guess all of that is all of Central America. Mexico. There's a ton of drugs everywhere. People love drugs. As I get older, I realize this war on drugs, my cop friend was right. You want a war on drugs? People will have to die. Lace all of it with fentanyl. Tell everyone it's all laced with fentanyl. Take your chances. The war on drugs will have mass casualties. And then people will be like, I don't want to do drugs anymore. That's a war. What we've been doing is funding the drugs with a fight on one side and drugs on the other. It's just money. If you really wanted to win the war on drugs, you'd have to kill all the druggies.

[Brady Bogan]

I do like George Carlin's method of it.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, yeah, Give them the subsidies and make them grow food. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Cut him a check.

[John Holmberg]

Years ago for 6 billion. We sent 6 billion to Mexico to fight the war on drugs, and they're.

[Brady Bogan]

Making like 2 or 3 billion.

[John Holmberg]

They were killing it. And so if we did 8 billion and said, stop doing that and just grow food and you'll get $8 billion, they would do it. It's money to them. They don't care what they grow. It's the product is selling. There'd still be drugs, but it'd be a lot less of it. I don't know what's going on, but lace it all with fentanyl and all the druggies die. Nobody wants that. That's a real war on drugs. Then the drugs would be the enemy right now. The drugs are still fun. I don't do drugs, but I see people who are on drugs, like, casually, and they seem to be enjoying it. It's the ones that take it too far. It's like bulimia. It works until it doesn't. You go too far, you're, you know, at a certain point in bulimia, you've hit your mark. You look pretty good. Pretty iced out, like, nice job. And then you take it another 10 pounds, like, oh, we've got a problem. I don't want that to happen either. But anyway, sorry, Henry. I'll try to get angry at Venezuela over the break. Brady, it's time for you to give us all the other news that we don't know. It's called the Brady Report. It's brought to you by our friends [e-mail]. you just heard Brady talking about that a second ago. You go over to all pro shades, you get yourself a motorized shade. They'll throw in a heater, and you can do that beautiful nighttime stuff under your shaded patio. That's become a new room in your house. The outdoor room that's actually attractive, unlike those weird screened Arizona rooms we had for so many years now. It's beautiful if you got a TV on your back patio like so many of us do, because outdoor living here is awesome. You put that screen up, you kill that glare. And that TV is even more useful in the daytime than it's ever, ever been. Check it out. All prochet.com Brady reported.

[Brady Bogan]

Good Wednesday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello, world.

[John Holmberg]

How doing you?

[Brady Bogan]

Happy National Maple syrup day.

[John Holmberg]

I like that guy. Says, you'd be surprised how close Venezuela is to Florida. All that cocaine in Florida comes from Venezuela. Yeah, but we have to Want it like there's a reason it's coming here. Just send Crockett and Tubs. Didn't we have back to Edward James? Almost. What kind of operation is he running down there? So should we close Florida? They seem to be the problem since I've been a kid. Florida's always been where cocaine comes from, whether it was Cuba or.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, I was. The main stream was Cuba, but Cuba's one.

[John Holmberg]

And then you had Colombia and then Venezuela. It just sounds like Florida's the problem. All the other countries change. Florida stays the same.

[Brady Bogan]

Couple of basis fun facts. The space between your eyebrows is the glabella comes from the Latin terms for smooth and hairless. So the guy that came up with it was not a unibrow.

[John Holmberg]

It is Latin for smooth and hairless.

[Brady Bogan]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

Labella glabella. Glabella. So that's what we're all kind of looking for after the lady goes and gets a wax. There's a nice glabella down there. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

December 31st.

[John Holmberg]

Make me sick with all that girl talk. It's not just your eyebrows, though. If it's Latin for smooth and hairless, it's everywhere. That's smooth and hairless.

[Brady Bogan]

But they specifically assigned.

[John Holmberg]

Specifically assigned it to the eyebrows. I'm saying if it's Latin for smooth and hairless, then it's that you can apply it to anything. Smooth and hairless.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, okay. What do you mean, okay? That's. What if it's Latin for smooth and hairless, but they also call that center. That's got two meanings. Then it's also the name of the center thing between your eyebrows.

[Brady Bogan]

There is. There's also another word too. Glabella.

[John Holmberg]

Twink. No, flat.

[Brady Bogan]

Flattened for smooth and hairless.

[John Holmberg]

It applies, of course.

[Brady Bogan]

December big shaves.

[John Holmberg]

Kind of like how my leg was when the bald eagle has landed. The bald eagle never lands with bumps. Smooth and hairless. Like Jay Gutentag and her glabella.

[Brady Bogan]

How is she not a spokesman for something?

[John Holmberg]

Smack that monkey. Exactly.

[Brady Bogan]

December 31, 2017, was the only day in history where every adult was born in the 1900s.

[John Holmberg]

Say it again.

[Brady Bogan]

December 31, 2017 was the only day in history every. Every adult.

[John Holmberg]

Every 18 and older.

[Brady Bogan]

Yep. In the 1900s.

[John Holmberg]

In history, yes.

[Brady Bogan]

Is that because the oldest person at the time was 117.

[John Holmberg]

So they all had to be adults. So 1917 would be the same thing, right?

[Brady Bogan]

No one was 117.

[John Holmberg]

You're still all you are. An adult. Nothing changed about you being over 100.

[Brady Bogan]

The other part of it says and every minor was born in the 2000s.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's true. Of all centuries.

[Brady Bogan]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

They'Re saying at the time.

[John Holmberg]

No, no, that's true of all centuries. Something's missing from that story.

[Brady Bogan]

December 31, 2017.

[John Holmberg]

Stern had a great idea. Yeah, let's get the hell out of here. That's right. Let's get out of here before the mass starts. We need a Japanese lady who's go to Tekken 8. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Because I went back and forth on weather because I was trying to figure out, okay, 2017, December 31st.

[John Holmberg]

Must have been the oldest. I see what you're saying. You're not just saying all adults. You're saying only adults born. In that sense. We have no one born before 1900, whatever that would make them. An adult born before the 1900s.

[Brady Bogan]

The oldest one was 117.

[John Holmberg]

So every. So they. That's not true either though, because in like 1500, I guarantee there were no 120 year olds. There were no minors. Yeah, right. Born in the 1900s.

[Brady Bogan]

That's kind of the crux of it.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I know that because you couldn't have done that. Right. But to have somebody who's 118, we've only had that for a couple of years or a couple of centuries. I'm not blaming Brady, but that's a confusing story. It is a little bit. But 1700s, there were no 117 year olds that were living in 1717 that we know of.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

No, they just weren't. Here we go. Methuselah. Maybe, but I don't think that medically and with. With no knowledge of germs yet. That the 1700s are like. And they probably didn't do any wrecks. This is only from.

[Brady Bogan]

That's what I'm saying.

[John Holmberg]

1900 and 2000, the only two we've got records of. And there was probably a record of 118 year old guy in 1917. So they're like, okay, so this time we don't have 100. We don't have anybody who's 118 or older right now. That's surprising.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Find out who the oldest man in the world is right now. What I'm looking up. Okay. If they're 118. Brady story takes a bump. The oldest man or woman in the world right now is. Oh, right now. Yeah, I was gonna say 1900s. Well, we'd find out if they're old.

[Brady Bogan]

Enough now, they'd have to be 125.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I guess that's true. Right now. That Would be too hard. Never mind. This research is too much. Why do you do this? As Ethel Caterham, a British super centenarian who celebrated her 116th birthday on August 21, she is the oldest living person. This guy says, if you think about it, 17 years, 11 months, 31 days into each century. Everybody that is 18 years old or older was born in the previous century. Century. Unless they're 118.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Right now we didn't have a lot of those back in the 1700s. We had none. I think the record for like.

[Brady Bogan]

Further, like in the first second century, the biblical days, you know where they say.

[John Holmberg]

They were, there's like 3,731 years. Moses was 700 plus years old. People never question that in your, in your, in your churches. That one just jumped.

[Brady Bogan]

Better diet, just, you know, better climate.

[John Holmberg]

Walked a lot. He was a good. He took walks every day for years on end. That 40 year walk for him was nothing. And he left no litter. Not one ounce of trash on Moses walk, by the way. Not one thing that archaeologists have found in a 40 year walk from all those people. Not one thing. But he was 700 plus years old. And everybody just skips that.

[Brady Bogan]

Here's a Porsche pirate. Fun fact. 250,000 packages are stolen nationwide every day.

[John Holmberg]

How many?

[Brady Bogan]

250,000.

[John Holmberg]

Wow.

[Brady Bogan]

Totaling 15 billion.

[John Holmberg]

Go down a rabbit hole and watch those paint bombing. You know, ones love that. Do you see the one that guy threatened to sue? He's on the ring camera. It blows up in his face. So they put a little bomb there. I won't sue you. All right. You were robbing a package. Let's go. According to gemini, prior to 1800, the.

[Brady Bogan]

Longest verified lifespan belonged to Margaret and Nev. She was born in 1792.

[John Holmberg]

She lived to be 110 and. 321 days. So just short of 111th birthday. So that was the same in that decade or genera or a century. That's a tough one to follow.

[Brady Bogan]

Last one. The average American will pay off 1.7 million. A little over 1.7 million in debt between ages 18 and 78.

[John Holmberg]

We'll throw a million dollars down on stuff we buy.

[Brady Bogan]

Million seven mortgages, 62% of that in a lifetime. Cars add up to 245,000. Credit card, 387,000. And loans, student loans, average 35,000.

[John Holmberg]

Kyle says, God damn it, Brady. This is the last day of the show for a year. This is like a mid June type argument. We can't have this. Let's move on. He's right. This is a mid summer kind of. We can get back to this tomorrow. I can't live of trying to be mad at Venezuela and do the math on Brady's stories, please. And then to go further back in the aging thing prior to 1700, you'll like these records. Cy Young was apparently keeping the records. Thomas Parr claimed to be 152 years old and Henry Jenkins claimed he was 169. Well see now he took summers off is what happened. And so every year was eight months 152. And people are like, sure, maybe because they were all dumb. You forget that prior to 1930, aside from Copernicus and and maybe Newton, everyone was stupid as a stump compared to what we are now.

[Brady Bogan]

A little follow up to the 43 year old guy that in from Australia that wrestled the terrorist gun away during the Bondi beach shooting on Sunday. His name was Ahmed Al Ahmed had someone put a gofundme together form and now it's over $2 million. He's in the hospital recovering from the two shots.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, good. Did you see the couple that almost got him too? In their 60s? Yeah. You know, they were the first two that got credit to the folks that went after the guy shooting. There's a couple people out there in Australia not hiding. And Ahmed, Al Ahmed, which most people would think was in on it, did the tackling and the. And the pulling. It was. It's a. It's incredibly heroic to watch that video, what that guy did and then stand there and take those shots because they didn't even know there was another guy. When they first said the name, I thought it was. Seriously. Yeah. Well, we all had our moment.

[Brady Bogan]

Wallet Hub ranked the best cities to spend Christmas in this year. Atlanta took the top spot. It's based on things like how many holiday themed events there are seasonal businesses like Christmas tree farms, how easy it is to shop and how much people love the holidays based on Google searches. So the top 10 cities were Atlanta, San Francisco, Seattle, Orlando, Las Vegas, St. Louis, Miami, Pittsburgh, New Orleans and Cincinnati. But if you look at the Las Vegas, North Las Vegas was ranked second to last.

[John Holmberg]

Really? Make sure you stay away from there.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Is that Henderson? Which. No, that's like El Cortez. Fremont Street. Oh, okay, gotcha. They do. It gets worse.

[Brady Bogan]

All right, Phoenix was 21st, Scottsdale was 29th.

[John Holmberg]

That's right. We're in the. We're in the mix. John.

[Brady Bogan]

I for one am psyched about this war with Venezuela and I want you to go in it with me. I'm tired of fentanyl on my cocaine.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. If we can. Yeah, no, if you're a cocaine user, you're probably pretty happy. Like we gotta slow this fentanyl thing down. Cause I'm. If you're, you know, already paranoid because you're on cocaine and now you're paranoid about your cocaine, that's not living. John, all due respect, man, please understand this is not a shot at you, but don't even address this Venezuela bs. Yes, there's a reason to be angry, but if someone is listening to you, a hole's serious input on this. They're dumb. There are plenty of other sources for it. You guys are our source for funny and absurd. And sometimes, sometimes a poignant moment will flop out of one of our mouths and we'll be like, well, that's pretty smart. Much like handjobs change friendships. Mary effing holidays from the big Red radio Hol's morning sickness. That's life changing. That's a life altering thing to keep in your mind. But we will probably eventually say something smart about Venezuela because we're not paying attention to it. And then common sense sneaks in, man. Geez.

[Brady Bogan]

This is going back to Cha Ching Chavez. You shouldn't care about going to war with.

[John Holmberg]

Probably cost you thousands of your tax dollars. I get it, sure. Look, but if it's going to result in blowing up a country and great video, that's really all I care about right now.

[Brady Bogan]

We spent some big money on some of these high tech look weapons. Let's use them.

[John Holmberg]

It cost Brady money every year to host a party for Ohio State to play like Rutgers. So sometimes you want to see your army go in and rough a guy up, you know, so maybe that's. Yeah, we want to run it up against Venezuela and go 77 to 3. How'd they get the 3? We got callous with the ball and we fumbled one off in field goal range. They got one out, but you know, for the most part, our boys get a little itchy. We send them down to a place we know. It's a tomato can. It's a setup fight.

[Brady Bogan]

Just cover the spread.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah. That's it. That's all we're asking. We don't want this thing to be tighter than it should be. I don't want an Appalachian State moment. Knock these guys down and get out of there. If we're going to play around with this, we're going to dick around with this stuff. Finish them.

[Brady Bogan]

We've had our Vietnam.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, we've done that before. We've had a couple of them. Had an Afghanistan. People forget that. That was kind of the same.

[Brady Bogan]

The wall street journal has a story on an emerging trend. Single people are outsourcing their online dating accounts and letting their parents take over on apps like bumble and hinge. They talked to a few people in their 20s and 30s. One woman said, yeah, let my mom step in and maybe she can have a better choice, you know, for me to go out with. Because it's hard.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

And she's. She's always swiping on men that are wearing gucci.

[John Holmberg]

She likes guys and she likes gays because my neighbor Michael has gucci shoes he wears everywhere. They're actually really nice, but if I ever wore them, Brett would never talk to me again.

[Brady Bogan]

And the girl's response was her mom swiping on it.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, hell are on your feet. Would you step on a muskrat? No, these are my fluffy gucci sandals. All right, where do I spill the paperwork out for cordell and cordell, friendship abandoned. This is over, Katie. Kb's down the hall. By the way, I'm getting quotes from Johnny dangerously Now Scott wants to. John, you should never ignore your problem with venezuela. My mother ignored venezuela once. Once. You're bringing back Johnny dangerously to me in 2025. It's time to shut the show down for a couple weeks.

[Brady Bogan]

The girl that said her mom's picking guys are only wearing gucci?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

The girl says, well, that's okay, but how are they going to do on a hike?

[John Holmberg]

Not great. They're gay. They don't like to hike. Why are you Gucci quit dating gay guys. I don't want to go on this because of my gucci shoes. You don't ask a guy in gucci shoes you want to go on a hike. The answer is no. Before you even ask. In my gucci's. Are you crazy? I don't think my mom picked a very good suitor. Neither did mine. You've got a vagina.

[Brady Bogan]

We got a 39 year old Florida woman named latoya Clark. She was pulled over on Wednesday blocks away from the u. S. District court. A license plate reader had flagged her vehicle as being stolen. The cops responded as she was being cuffed. An officer started to explain to latoya why she was being arrested. She says, oh, I know why. She said she was on her way to the courthouse because she was on trial for a federal crime. She is on trial for alleged role in conspiracy that defrauded 29 million from the government Covid relief loans and grants.

[John Holmberg]

Oh geez, milk the system.

[Brady Bogan]

And now she has more problems because she was driving a U Haul cargo van that she took out for one day rental two months ago.

[John Holmberg]

How come U Haul can't find their stuff? Well, they report also just like. Yeah, two months with an. And they're just. It's so easy to go there. It is like U Haul trucks are not hidden in and amongst all the other cars.

[Brady Bogan]

She's looking at 20 years in prison if everything goes down. But she ran into a razor too, for some reason.

[John Holmberg]

What do you. Oh, she's all sliced up. Oh, her hair got. She looks like the fine young cannibals guy. Oh my God, she does. That's weird.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't know if you heard about this, John, but a hacking group group says it it's attempting to extort pornhub after stealing users viewing data. It's for the pornhub. What is it like the prime members premiums?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't have passwords, emails.

[John Holmberg]

You absolutely deserve to be hacked if you pay for pornhub. Why in the what extra stuff are you getting on pornhub that you're not getting from free pornhub hub? Free pornhub gives you everything. Why are you paying for xnxx? Same way there's tons of them. And if any of them started to go, hey, we got to charge everybody. You got to be a member. I'd be like, well, I guess I'm moving on. Moving on? 27 minutes of porn for free isn't enough. You don't get the whole story. That's true. Just getting clips. Guy's a filmmaker. What happened to her? What happened after? If she dried off, did something, did her parents. Did the parents come home? What happens with the stepbrother? Is this relationship over? Does the family find out? I can't. I need to be a prime member. Pornhub. Plus find out what happens to stepsister after the coding.

[Brady Bogan]

Finally there's.

[John Holmberg]

You don't. I mean, I would love to sit down after the dryer. Oh yeah, she pulls her out of the dryer. It's like this. Did the dryer still work? Like who's got questions, questions? And then at the end it says for more information, follow the podcast about this for cookies. And like Bill Maher does overtime, right? Oovertime? Today is Pornhub overtime. When she was stuck in that dryer, I got real concerned. And then it just ended. Guy wiped her ass off and I then what? It just ended. I Needed more.

[Brady Bogan]

Finally, you might want to try a new Christmas tradition. It's been happening. Happening for a few centuries. It's out of Spain. Catalonia, Spain. It's called Tia de Nadal. Name translates as Christmas log. It's also known as the poop log. Okay, so I have a video that.

[John Holmberg]

Will show you magical log of Christmas Eve. It's tio song, and it will poop presents for everyone. Oh, the log poop present the most popular and original Catalan Christmas traditions. But where does it come from? How does it work? It's Mr. Hank. The TIO da Nadal, commonly known as cagatio, became popular between the 17th and 18th century in the towns and villages of Catalonia, Aragon and Occitania. Initially, the tradition of making the tio de nadal poop was related to nature and to the winter solstice. I don't care anymore.

[Brady Bogan]

Get on. I'll show it.

[John Holmberg]

Better deliver. Brady. Several years have passed, but the tradition of having a tudon adal is more alive than ever.

[Brady Bogan]

How does it work?

[John Holmberg]

How does it work? Hold on. Two legs on a log.

[Brady Bogan]

They sell it.

[John Holmberg]

Keep the Tio de Nadal before Christmas. This way, on Christmas Eve, its belly will be full and ready. Okay, what the hell am I watching? What is this? Gastrointestinal?

[Brady Bogan]

Are you shocked to gather around the.

[John Holmberg]

Christmas log reciting poems and singing songs? I want to see something beaten. Then, yeah. Then the whole family and friends sing.

[Brady Bogan]

A couple of songs and you beat.

[John Holmberg]

The law singing the Gaga song. And this is a joke on Americans, Brady. And you fell for it.

[Brady Bogan]

And then the log poops present.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, there's a bunch of people.

[Brady Bogan]

We know your excitement.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Trying to change things up. You know, the elf on the shelf.

[John Holmberg]

No, no. People in Spain are like, still didn't see where you can buy it. What if we told Americans to buy a log that poops and see if any of the idiots actually believe it to be a tradition? Oh, my God. There is a guy in Gilbert who has bought two. He does it every year. We did not think this joke would go through, but look at what's happening. Feed him bananas and chocolates and fill his log with poop. Brady, it doesn't poop logs. You put the presents in there and then you turn it over.

[Brady Bogan]

Okay, Santa.

[John Holmberg]

Whoa.

[Brady Bogan]

Why would you do that?

[John Holmberg]

Nobody wants a piece in their house.

[Brady Bogan]

You're the one that's revealing it. He revealed it.

[John Holmberg]

No, I tell you right now, kids, don't buy this one.

[Brady Bogan]

That poop log watches you, too.

[John Holmberg]

I think the guy in America actually wants this to be a thing. A big stick takes a. In your house and you keep it tione down. And there's gonna be. This will end in about a minute and a half and we'll never hear from it again. But all week long. All week long, Brady's gonna be talking about this with people. You heard about the Tio del Natal? It puts presence. Yeah. The tradition in Spain. If you're in Brady's orbit down in Gilbert, you're gonna hear about this a lot. This is a big one for him. The present. Pooping log. Merry Christmas. Whatever country that is. God damn it. I got a log you can beat. Yeah, that's a joke on us. And you watched it all the way through. Get to the end. Get to the rat killing there at the end. It's good stuff. Jesus Christ. Can we go back to last year? I want to hear Dominic the donkey again. And Dan, your people of Gilbert will get a big poop tree. I'm getting one of those. He is buying more poop products. This guy. Relentless.

[Brady Bogan]

Poops. Ten fruitcakes, everyone.

[John Holmberg]

Stupid. Did Brady just say a new Christmas tradition that's been going on for centuries? Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

For here for you guys to start a new tradition.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, that's all right. We'll let you slide on that one. Even though this thing's a joke against us because nobody in Spain's ever gone. Why doesn't America do poop trees? Nobody does that. We tried. You didn't fall for it. That's not a real thing.

[Brady Bogan]

Bah humbug.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, exactly. Because I don't want infiltrating my Christmas. I know it's a joke because no Christmas tradition includes the phrase, then it poops the presents. That's new. That would have been shot down in marketing back in the 1600s, maybe to have a log just take huge people's living rooms. What are you talking about? Jeff? No. Scott. Do you have any ideas? How about just a fat guy that drops stuff off his magic. There we go. That's where we're heading. So Santa steps over the. The fallen tree.

[Brady Bogan]

That's just a log.

[John Holmberg]

Where do the presents go for real.

[Brady Bogan]

People in Spain, Some just have the pooping log.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Is that right? Yeah, I know. Because you started to bounce.

[Brady Bogan]

You lift it up in the logs.

[John Holmberg]

So they've abandoned all Christmas traditions for the log that craps. And we're just now here.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, I think that might be the start. My theory is it was the start of the. It was the first pinata. You're beating the ball with the Stick. And then it modified into paper mache or whatever the babe.

[John Holmberg]

And then moved to Spain. They beat that. And then it became pinatas.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

And this is the first we're hearing of that. First time I heard up on the rooftop beating my log with a Christmas stick. Thank you very much. What's Izzy doing? Yeah, let's check it out. I bet you she's not. She's not taken. Go ahead. And you know what? You'll come back and go more about the poop. That was one worse. Because he somehow managed to be worse than the poop plug. We would have been you of all people. Me. You know, in Spain, they have a log that takes a.

[Brady Bogan]

Your.

[John Holmberg]

You'd have known this your whole life. This is in.

[Brady Bogan]

If I knew about the pooping log.

[John Holmberg]

That's why I'm saying it's fake and brand new as you'd have known. If anybody would have known about this, it would have been you. They do that in Spain. You got to see it. You would have known. It would have been in your algorithm. Just like breast milk videos. This would have been all over it. You got any videos? Speaking of.

[Brady Bogan]

That was it.

[John Holmberg]

That was. Oh, thanks for that. Closer for the year. Fantastic. Brett, finish this off. I don't know how I can compete with that. I'll give it a shot. Bring it back, I said. Oh, you. You had one you wanted me to show. Well, I just wanted to show this lady. I gave it to Breck because he's got the thing. This. Look at this lady. This is. This is a woman who thinks she's going to make headway in a. In a city council meeting with her request. Listen to what she is. Listen to her affliction. Is that. That's not what I sent you. That's what she sent me. No, it isn't. It is. That's not it, anyway. Well, that's not it. No. That's terribly. That's a dirty one. I don't know why I clipped that one. It gave you the wrong thing. It's a. It's a lady who goes up and she's got. God dang it. See if I can see that. It works on me. This is what I sent you.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm not trying to be difficult, but.

[John Holmberg]

My neighbor uses dryer. She sheets and the fragrance travels. It permeates the block. I have fragrance sensitivity. This isn't a preference. She's got fragrance sensitivity, and she wants the world to stop using drier logs.

[Brady Bogan]

Sometimes it can cause headaches.

[John Holmberg]

Okay, then. Then just get used to It. Because it's not gonna. You're gonna have stinks. Here she goes. Yeah. This be difficult, but my neighbor uses dryer sheets. And the fragrance travels. It permeates the block. I have fragrance sensitivity.

[Brady Bogan]

This isn't a preference difference. It's physical.

[John Holmberg]

I'm just asking if we can restrict scented dryer products for the community. She wants to restrict bounce and snuggle because. Get off my planet. My planet.

[Brady Bogan]

I guess that's true, Brady, but can't the city council member go.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, no movement. He can go. You get off my planet. Yes. You have fragrance sensitivity to a point where you want the government involved for just you. You arrogant bitch. Get out. If you're. Fragrance sensitivity. Trees, flowers. You arrogant. Yeah. People's soaps, colognes, perfume. You can't go outside. Dryer sheets.

[Brady Bogan]

You're just.

[John Holmberg]

You just don't like dryer sheets. She took time out of her day. She's so bored. No wonder her husband left her. I noticed her hand.

[Brady Bogan]

What'd they tell?

[John Holmberg]

Ringless. Yeah. Huh?

[Brady Bogan]

Did they have a response?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they did. They shot her dead right there in the room. So good. The world is better.

[Brady Bogan]

Time for you to move out of the neighborhood.

[John Holmberg]

How does she have a friend in the world? Well, I can't be around you. I. Fragrance sensitivity. And you were fragrant. I wish Roman Maroney was ahead of that. You could suck. So ridiculous. So I saw that and I'm like, well, if this lady. If we got to get back to the days where people are like, oh, shut the up. Leave. What are you doing? Absolutely. You're not going to hear me. No, you're. You're nonsense.

[Brady Bogan]

We should be at the meeting next month. Month? There's so many dryer sheets in my yard.

[John Holmberg]

She can't even go down the dryer sheet aisle at the store. Smells good. She can't go down there to eliminate those fragrance. I have fragrance sensitivity, too. To people that stink, but I can't ban them. You asked to be heard. We heard you. What you want is us to agree with you, which we don't. And you know. You know what? We are going to pass a resolution. No more idiots can come in here and do stuff like this. You're. You're out. We're allowed to interrupt you and send you home for stupid stuff anyway. Go ahead, Brad. F you go, fatty. The boys wanted to give one for Brady this year.

[Brady Bogan]

This is.

[John Holmberg]

This is specially for Brady. Okay. It's a.

[Brady Bogan]

Not.

[John Holmberg]

Not just that, but it's a picture of a grilled cheese patty melt that looks this one's for Brady. Oh, it's a. It's a compilation of women shooting breast milk all over. And look, he's locked in. That one's a good one. Well, she's lactating in her swimsuit. There's just. I mean, this is a. The finest video Brady's ever seen. Oh, that one's super pregnant, about to birth it, and her. Oh, my God, that's kind of hot. I may be with Brady on this one. She's milking through a shirt. And then there's a lesbian scene. I don't know how this happened. One pregnant lesbian that's. Again. Again, Asian with huge cans. The gift of life coming out of each nipple. There's a lady suckling on her pregnant friend. You gotta be.

[Brady Bogan]

Love the music.

[John Holmberg]

That's a whole new level. You gotta be pretty borderline satanic to give your baby's milk to your lesbian lover.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, I was just thinking that, like.

[John Holmberg]

Hey, there's somebody who actually means that. Yeah, you are. And by the way, how did you get. You don't. You're doing it wrong. And I think that was Keisha Knight Pulliam from the Cosby Show. That last shot, I think she was. That's for Brady and might have been Rudy. I think I just watched Rudy drink a gallon of milk. That was nice. Thanks to the boys for. That's a nice Christmas present. You should send that and put that in your poop log for your mom. Poop log. Star date. Star date 1.75. January. All right. Brady will like this one, too. Elephant on the ground and a bunch of people and I will love it. Laughing at the elephant, and they're playing with its trunk. There's no sound. There's no sound. And it's a grabber in the snooch. Oh, he just punches a kid. An elephant punched a guy with his trunk. I've never seen it. He punched the chest, walled up his. Was that a woman?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he's. I see. He's. He's down in a pit at a zoo of something. Oh, that is kind of. Does she r word?

[Brady Bogan]

No.

[John Holmberg]

She looks a little. And he did not want his picture taken. She tries to take a picture with her stupid phone, and the elephant balls his trunk up and punches her in the face. And it is a solid shot. And he's trying to. He wants out. He's a. You know, it's prison for elephants. He's not happy in there.

[Brady Bogan]

The sign says no picture, and he's.

[John Holmberg]

Hanging his head over the edge of the the dungeon they keep him in and he punches. Did it say no pictures?

[Brady Bogan]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, okay. I was gonna say. Okay, here's a midget kicking someone. Oh, there's two midgets kicking a guy in the balls. There's not much. Yeah, there's not much. This one look like that one hurt at all. I think I could tolerate that. All right. I've never seen an elephant punch before. That was neat. All right, here's a beautiful, beautiful lady laying on her. She's got a guy in a leg lock. Yeah, Leg lock with her thighs. Now she's picking lint out of her belly button. And she's feeding the guy. And then now she puts him back into the thigh. Leg lock. Okay, that was gross. These are just. These are quick.

[Brady Bogan]

That was a thin mint.

[John Holmberg]

All right, next up is a woman with a full, like massive construction sized chain link chain in her butt and on her. In her lady bits. And here it's coming out. 3. 3ft of chain coming out of there. Nice.

[Brady Bogan]

Virgin.

[John Holmberg]

The chain coming out of there was. These guys are just loading us up with. And then this is. We'll just end here. All right. I don't know. That's a hammer and nails. Oh, my God.

[Brady Bogan]

It's lips to the plywood.

[John Holmberg]

They are crucifying a woman's labia onto a board. There's a. There's a drill and a screw. Oh, no. Oh, my God. He's. He's taking a Dewalt vault on and he's screwing her labia to another one. Oh, my God. Oh, that's got some. Oh, my God.

[Brady Bogan]

Now he's gonna. Now he's.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, he's got. He's got a wealth. He's gonna brand it. And he's got a little. And he's branding the labia. Oh, my goodness me Lord almighty. Now you're a mine. And there's an S. Oh, he put his initials after he. Oh, my God, that one. I'm with you on Brady. In a city of 5 million, there's maybe one. There's a screensaver for the year. It just looks like somebody's. They threw a piece of Carl budding roast beef onto a wall. It looks like a bad prime rib. I'd like. I want the other cut. So we're just going out on a high note.

[Brady Bogan]

There.

[John Holmberg]

Spread open onto a board. It's the crucifixion of vaginas. Yikes. That was. That was horrible. And this lady wants to ban dryer sheets. This is going on, the hammering. Yeah, I just. I Walk through my neighborhood and bounce. It just smells like bounce. I hate it. I'd like it banned. What would be easier? Banning dryer sheets or you.

[Brady Bogan]

You.

[John Holmberg]

You're banned. They build a fragrance free box for her to live in for the rest of her life and we'll just doordash food to her every day by an unscented. What an idiot. Thank you for that. That was an interesting one. That made my pee pee hurt. I don't even have girl bits and my junk was mad. There you go, everybody. That's your final Brady report of 2025. And it had math. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. 98k. Still streaming. Homburg morning sickness [e-mail]. Wow. How about that? It's 9 o' clock already and I don't even know what to do next. It's gonna be good stuff though. Promise you. Do we do the. Do we do the squares to close out?

[Brady Bogan]

It's up to you. How you feeling?

[John Holmberg]

Feeling pretty good. We'll have to. We'll have to figure that out. Okay. Reminds me though. Those people are like Brady's poop plug story makes me made people angry that he bought it. So I'm getting a lot of emails about people who need you to send them some money real quick. They've got the money, they'll pay it back. They just need it real quick because their cards are. They left their cards in the hotel room. They can't get in and they need.

[Brady Bogan]

You don't proud of me.

[John Holmberg]

Yesterday afternoon you turn somebody down.

[Brady Bogan]

Yep. Magazine salesman.

[John Holmberg]

What they're saying by done? No, it's a robbery. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Sir, I need 20,000 hours of community.

[John Holmberg]

You're doing an accent.

[Brady Bogan]

You're doing the van community service. Trying to do that. No, you got the van. Pimp drops off the sleeves. They go around the neighborhood. You're with a bad company. Because I. And I briefly told him the story that I did those magazines years ago and I reached out to the company in Las Vegas and I want my money back. And they. Yeah, they mailed it back.

[John Holmberg]

Well, that was a hardest one. You shouldn't have been doing that. You took the extra step of telling him a story.

[Brady Bogan]

I did. Because I'm like, you're answered.

[John Holmberg]

I mean, come on. Answered the door to tell us first off, why'd you do that?

[Brady Bogan]

Because the.

[John Holmberg]

It's a beautiful day and the dogs.

[Brady Bogan]

Hang out and the sun comes through in the afternoon. So they're sitting there and then all of a sudden they Go crazy.

[John Holmberg]

You have sun in your backyard.

[Brady Bogan]

And they're barking, yelling at them, stop it.

[John Holmberg]

So I go over there, and they're answering the door. You're the reason these things still exist. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Don't you. Anyway, he wants a CDL license. I'm like, there's a lot of trucks.

[John Holmberg]

Why are you the guy he told that to and how do you.

[Brady Bogan]

This much information? I said, he's with the. You're. You're wasting your time with this.

[John Holmberg]

Speaking of wasting your time, you spent 40 minutes with this kid.

[Brady Bogan]

No, it was hour and a half.

[John Holmberg]

It was the. The same as the time I went by and, like, Brady's got a hot stripper on his lap. And I heard, do you need a ride anywhere? You shouldn't be doing this. I'm like, oh, no, he's helping her. You answer the door. You've got to stop. The screen door has to end. This has to end. Because these people. You're the reason why they keep knocking on doors. If more people don't know what Kenny and Laser are doing, were like me and didn't answer the door, there'd be less people going to doors. I don't know what this roofing thing that's going on in the community is now. Yeah, that's a non. And you answer for it. You know what you need to do? 2026. 2026. There's people calling you right now, probably asking for money for magazines.

[Brady Bogan]

I gotta remember the guy's name.

[John Holmberg]

Got solar yet? Yeah. How much solar? 2026. Brady is your year of telling people through the screen. Not interested. I did off. No, you didn't.

[Brady Bogan]

You got him through the screen. We were there for, you know, five minutes.

[John Holmberg]

That's. You talked about CDL license.

[Brady Bogan]

You're gonna help me. Yeah. 4 minutes and 59 seconds. Too long.

[John Holmberg]

He asked, are you gonna help me?

[Brady Bogan]

I said, yeah, I will.

[John Holmberg]

Why?

[Brady Bogan]

Because I think he was legitimate. He wanted to get a job.

[John Holmberg]

You are not hiring.

[Brady Bogan]

I know. I go. There's. There's a ton of companies out there I bet you that would hire you.

[John Holmberg]

But you. Why are you the one that's helping that.

[Brady Bogan]

Get him away from Huggy Bear.

[John Holmberg]

What is wrong with you? Oh, man. Stop answering the door. You tell people when they walk up. You're making the dogs nuts. Walk away. Not interested. I need a trucking license, sir. Well, let me help you with that. What are you. You don't know anything about. Stop answering your door. Even when it's open. I stand in an open window and look at people. At my front door. I'm just like, goof, I have a roof. Go on. No, you're gonna roof him off. You go. You don't drink coffee, but are you sitting there sipping? I have literally stood in that window and stared at a guy mug. Yeah, just stand. What do you want? Roofing? No, no, I have. Look up. It's there. I have a roof. I've got one already. Off you go.

[Brady Bogan]

That was four days ago.

[John Holmberg]

The CD is roofing. Yeah. And you answered it on your neighbor's house. Yeah, you are.

[Brady Bogan]

All right, let me call my neighbor. Are they working on your house?

[John Holmberg]

You got more people involved. You were not that hard ass about it.

[Brady Bogan]

You, you.

[John Holmberg]

This guy, this guy. Nobody's buying this new character. You get off my porch there.

[Brady Bogan]

It's over. John.

[John Holmberg]

2026 is the year we either come over there and take that screen away.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm not talking to people.

[John Holmberg]

No, it isn't about that. It stop answering the door. You're the problem. You're why it still exists. If we all stopped answering the door, they would go away. They'd have to come up with a new method. But the more people that answer, the more they're like, okay, almost had that one on the hook. If more people stopped answering the door. In the day and age of text, if you're coming over unexpected, doorbell rings are always bad. You never sitting in this neighborhood, chief. You never ever.

[Brady Bogan]

Kenny has to sign up. I should be doing that.

[John Holmberg]

You never would never put that up. No way. Break your heart.

[Brady Bogan]

I have Truckers welcome.

[John Holmberg]

That's CDL license tests inside. I know you saw a black kid at the door. Like, maybe he's selling barbecue. I know why you got excited.

[Brady Bogan]

Someone needs to welcome them in Gilbert.

[John Holmberg]

No, they don't. No, it's on this. It's in the town charter. Don't welcome them. And Gilbert. It says welcome to Gilbert, but not them. It's on the sign. It's why you guys moved there, because everybody looks like you're pod people. Gilbert, pod people are pod people. You all answer the door like they're going to win a prize. Nobody rings your doorbell unexpectedly in 2026. Especially without. It's never good news. It's never a good thing.

[Brady Bogan]

I said, lincoln, you're going to be. I'm the safest guy in this neighborhood.

[John Holmberg]

See, his name is Lincoln. No, he's calling Lincoln Hawk from over the top. Bottom line is, you've never once come into work and said, I'm so glad I answered the door to that stranger yesterday. I'M a millionaire. They're asking for money or somehow or another got you involved in. Can you help me get my CDL license? You bet. Dquan. My name is Jeff. I don't know why you said that. I assumed it.

[Brady Bogan]

Roosevelt. Let me tell you something.

[John Holmberg]

Look, you just 20, 26 is Brady's year to stop answering his front door. You are a problem. He stand out there with roofers and magazine salesman.

[Brady Bogan]

This year was maybe four times.

[John Holmberg]

No, it wasn't. Was twice in last week. You didn't do it two more times. Stop it. It's the annoying taking season too. You don't want to be on the other side of that.

[Brady Bogan]

That's right. That's why I went down, told him, son, you're with the wrong company.

[John Holmberg]

First off, don't call him son. That's not going to go over well. Might as well just say, boy, you're terrible. Second, stop answering.

[Brady Bogan]

I opened up that.

[John Holmberg]

No, stop answering the door. Oh, I wanted to help him. You're gonna get your kid. You're gonna wake up in a bathtub. Your other kidney's gonna come out. I needed that one.

[Brady Bogan]

You just gotta hope that they go.

[John Holmberg]

With the scar side. Oh, he's already lost. Ah, nuts. Took the other one.

[Brady Bogan]

Cool face tattoos.

[John Holmberg]

Never ever answered the door. I'm selling Ebony, Jet magazine. That's still a thing. Come in. All right. Look at my artwork. Answering the door.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm watching the Jeffersons Right now.

[John Holmberg]

2026 is the day. January 1st. You no longer answer the door. You're training Kirby to get beat up by somebody.

[Brady Bogan]

No one was home but me, right?

[John Holmberg]

And okay, old man, one kidney, sitting there by himself. Yourself. You're a target. Do not answer the door. You're done with that. John. Come on now.

[Brady Bogan]

Us door knockers love Brady.

[John Holmberg]

He's a perfect customer. Of course he's a victim. End up talking about a CDL license to the guy who's trying to sell you Fishing and Stream magazine.

[Brady Bogan]

He didn't get that far.

[John Holmberg]

Did you hold the clipboard and look? Did you feign interest for a second? You liar. You liar.

[Brady Bogan]

I did. Hand him a soda.

[John Holmberg]

Soda. You went and got drinks for him?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. I said, you walk in the neighborhood, you want something.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, my God. Why don't you just blow him?

[Brady Bogan]

Soda.

[John Holmberg]

He's become best friends with him. And then how did the CDL license talk come up?

[Brady Bogan]

I said, what does he want to do? You're wasting your time doing this. He's like, I'd like to get my CDL license. Why don't you go do that?

[John Holmberg]

Why do you minister to them? Why are you doing that?

[Brady Bogan]

I like to help people.

[John Holmberg]

No, you don't. Okay, you don't.

[Brady Bogan]

You didn't help people.

[John Holmberg]

You don't like helping people. I've been sure. No, no, no, no, no, you don't. Then go out and help them.

[Brady Bogan]

That's what I said I was going to do.

[John Holmberg]

No, you answer the door when they show up. If. If helps if somebody needs help, comes to your house, you might help people. Like if you don't pull over on the side of the road over here and put it.

[Brady Bogan]

Not everyone just, you know, it's just.

[John Holmberg]

The guys that come to your house. Enough of that. You're hurting all the rest of us by doing that because you continue the tradition of banging on doors. If. If we have one answer, and that's hope for the door bangers, we want them to. We want that to die. 20, 26, the year the death to the door banger. Like. Like my dad, when he stayed at my rental house, knock on the door, what does he. What's he answer to? Huh? Sir, my girlfriend's broke both my phones and they inside and locked me out, and they're accusing me of rape. And my dad's like, that's it. Get off my porch. That's what happens when he answered the door. Go away, C.D. we should get him a no soliciting sign for Christmas. And how are you helping? How long it stays with a CDL license? Talk. You can't help him with that other than just say, go get him. Go get him, snowman tiger. You're not helping anybody get a CDL license. If you really wanted to help him, you'd have driven him down there to the DMV and said, how do. How does my new friend get a cdl?

[Brady Bogan]

There's some companies that will. Will help you get the cdl. Who? There's some trucking companies who will say, you want to be that. That need.

[John Holmberg]

Right? And if I'm at your door and you said that to me, I would say, who? And you would say, I don't know.

[Brady Bogan]

I said, I'll make a couple of calls.

[John Holmberg]

You what?

[Brady Bogan]

God.

[John Holmberg]

You'Re gonna get raped and I'm gonna giggle at it because you've asked for it. You would make a couple CDL calls for this guy.

[Brady Bogan]

Sure.

[John Holmberg]

You're his ambition now.

[Brady Bogan]

No, I don't think.

[John Holmberg]

And then you're gonna follow up. Are you looking for a Blind side thing to happen here where they make a movie about you because you Took in a troubled knee grow. That's really what this.

[Brady Bogan]

This is.

[John Holmberg]

This is guilt from Columbus back when you used to take in.

[Brady Bogan]

I said, I wish I would have met you 10 years ago. I would have adopted you.

[John Holmberg]

This is. Yeah. You look like a defensive end. This could have worked out for me.

[Brady Bogan]

This is back left handed.

[John Holmberg]

Cuz your parents used to let minorities stay in the house. And the family got a ton of attention for being so brave in upper Arlington.

[Brady Bogan]

Well, I did offer him. You need a place to stay.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Unbelievable. And yet he's still not allowed to date Kirby. John, can you call your boy Dr. Fixler and tell him we've got him down? Oh my God. Gonna make a couple of calls. Who's the first call you make for a CDL license?

[Brady Bogan]

Kenworth.

[John Holmberg]

Okay. What's the number? Because you got. You got to go to the Internet with this guy and he can do all this on his own. Get off my porch. You say that's it. Does it feel like you clued him.

[Brady Bogan]

Into something that he didn't know about? No.

[John Holmberg]

Did you keep. Did you exchange numbers so you can follow up on whether or not he quit the magazine sales?

[Brady Bogan]

I got his pager number.

[John Holmberg]

Did you? Did you really?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

You did?

[Brady Bogan]

No.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, it doesn't surprise me if you did.

[Brady Bogan]

John, I'm now convinced that Brady didn't actually need his kidney removed. I think it was a solar guy that came to the door. Convinced him that it was time to remove it in order to get something in his garage.

[John Holmberg]

Do you really want to sell solar your whole life? No, sir. I'd like to be a kidney transplant specialist. Well, let me help you with that.

[Brady Bogan]

You've come to the right place.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Stop answering the door. Do you have the box checked on doordash to just leave it?

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah. And upsets me sometimes because it's auto. It's auto marked because you have. You have the.

[John Holmberg]

Is.

[Brady Bogan]

You have the door. The screen door that opens out.

[John Holmberg]

I think we have the conversation.

[Brady Bogan]

Put that down there.

[John Holmberg]

That's right.

[Brady Bogan]

And you can't open the door because you plow over the stuff.

[John Holmberg]

So you got to go put a little table the garage.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

So now I. I spot about that. We have a recording of Brady at the front door. It is this scene right here on the ring cam. Maybe I can learn how to be a truck driver. Mav, you had the number of that.

[Brady Bogan]

Truck driving school we saw in town. TV Truck Master, I think it is.

[John Holmberg]

I might need that.

[Brady Bogan]

Writing that down.

[John Holmberg]

There's truck driving schools and also come in let's work on my Internet. You can help me fix my IP address and help me pay some bills.

[Brady Bogan]

Brady, it's been this year alone. Didn't you see that video of the.

[John Holmberg]

Dude with a gun knocking at the door in Wisconsin? It's called home invasion. You don't answer your door anymore. Just don't stop. Stop it. Just yell through the screen.

[Brady Bogan]

I did.

[John Holmberg]

No, you didn't. You got up and you stood at the screen. I'm saying, stay in your seat and go, what do you want? You have a blink camera you can just talk through. Or that through that. You don't even need to answer. And you can see him.

[Brady Bogan]

I was right. The reason I was in the kitchen waiting. Mine set up. The dogs went crazy, right?

[John Holmberg]

You're making the dogs nuts. Go away.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Did I talk about magazines? Are you kidding me? Go away. People calling, calling the police. People want to know if you stop and give panhandlers money at stoplights and stuff. I doubt that's right.

[Brady Bogan]

Maybe I should change.

[John Holmberg]

No, just give them. Give him CDL licenses.

[Brady Bogan]

Yes.

[John Holmberg]

He ministers to him.

[Brady Bogan]

He says, you know where you can get a job?

[John Holmberg]

This isn't doing you any good.

[Brady Bogan]

Get in.

[John Holmberg]

I'm gonna get you into a program over there at the truck driving school.

[Brady Bogan]

The last one. The last time I did that was the one where we got the money back.

[John Holmberg]

Well, we made you get the money. Yeah. What happened? One time, some guy. We were at a lunch one, and Brady was driving, and this guy was bugging all of us as we get out of the car, and he says, I got my fan belt broken. That was the worst story I've ever heard. My wife's pregnant. She's giving birth right there at Desert Samaritan. I got to get down there, and I got my fan belts down. I need to go across street to the autozone. And Brady whips out a fiver, I think, and hands him five bucks. Would you give him money? We give Brady a bunch of grief like that, and we see him across the street and he's telling somebody. I'm like, he's not going to the hospital at five bucks or to the. The autozone to get his fan.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm watching him.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, I was driving, right?

[Brady Bogan]

And I go, I'm gonna watch. Let's find out. This guy goes over across the street to the fries to get the fan belt. He does not.

[John Holmberg]

To the fries. And we're like, he did? We told you he's not gonna. He's gonna go get your money back. And we drove over Him. Look at him. And he's standing there, Griffin, somebody else. And Brady goes, you didn't have a pregnant daughter. Give me my money back. The guy hands him four singles and he made a buck. Made a buck. And then he said, I kept the last dollar. Freddie drove over like we got the money back. Back. Stop giving them money.

[Brady Bogan]

Contacts. Another dude that had a cell phone.

[John Holmberg]

Not buying a fan belt for five bucks anyway. Exactly. Well, Brady's just giving jumps. He likes to help people jump.

[Brady Bogan]

He said specific. Now I. I need $3 to buy a fan belt.

[John Holmberg]

He said, I need to. I got K N. I'm short. Yeah, I want a K N product. And it's a little heavier than the generic. Brady, I need help. Can I. I mean, can I borrow a generator for a couple days? Exactly. Place. Now that guy would have been hilarious if he went and put that generator in front of Brady's door and Brady couldn't leave.

[Brady Bogan]

Live and learn.

[John Holmberg]

No, you just win in Rome. Winning room.

[Brady Bogan]

My first generator. I landed out well under.

[John Holmberg]

Under a bridge. I'm just saying things now. Anyway, blah, blah, blah. 2026. The year you knock it off with the door answering. And if I do do silly. I know. What's the fand what's the fanduel odds on the that? 0. He can't not love a new friend. Even a drug addled magazine Salesman in the 2025. Oh God. Hi, my name is Lamont and I am selling meaningless useless magazines and periodicals from the 90s because they don't even print them anymore. Is this what you want to do with your life? No, sir. I'd like to drive trucks. I can help with that. Really? No.

[Brady Bogan]

Really. I picture the shock on the guy's face. I didn't expect. Yes.

[John Holmberg]

I run a truck driving school.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, I've got to go.

[John Holmberg]

You what? And he got back into that van and went. That tried to send me to truck driving school. Dumbass cracker. Did he buy magazines? Ain't nobody buy any magazines. I just gotta lay the layer. We'll come back at night when sleepy grandpa's in bed. He go to bed before sun go down. And he keeps the screen door open all day. You can just peep and he can't see us. Peep right in. His dogs is crazy though. We gotta stop them dogs. We gotta bring hot dogs and stuff next time.

[Brady Bogan]

They're great. And they coco and catch. Sat right next to me. Ready to go.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they were ready to just attack. That's great. Release the hounds.

[Brady Bogan]

Mr. Bird, did you get that get that dog magazine. No, I'm not.

[John Holmberg]

That's it. All right. Well, thank you for that, Brady. I didn't expect that to be the story we went with. I was going to tell another one.

[Brady Bogan]

About one more thing.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, no. What happened?

[Brady Bogan]

The Wiener mobile is going to be in town. We got. We went through that.

[John Holmberg]

Show's over. That's it. 40 minutes to go, boys. It's 9:16. We'll do a Rock wars instead. Now that Brady's ruined everything. People saying we need SEO of the Year still. Oh, that's right. Or SEO Lifting. Well, that one goes without saying. I forgot his name, but look it up. It's the dude that smushed that Chihuahua. Outside of that party, he's the champion. There was. That was just. I don't remember where it happened. It was awful. That dude needs to be the SEO at the. God, I almost forgot all about that. So busy listening to Brady talking to sending kids to truck driving school. I'm Brady Bogan, co host of Brady's Morning cup amongst the others. Do you want to drive trucks for a living?

[Brady Bogan]

I do.

[John Holmberg]

This mother qualified to tell me nothing about no truck driving. Only thing better is if you'd have.

[Brady Bogan]

Hand him station swag.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, there's a bandana. I want to run track. I will coach you. Look at me. Really look at me. I am a track, I said.

[Brady Bogan]

Let me tell you, Holmes.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. What would have been the one thing he could have. Excuse me? What? Like why did you just spark off that you can help get a truck driver license for him. What profession could he have caught up in the moment? I can do that. You were so desperate for a buddy, you lied to him and said I can help you with truck driving school. You're the dumbest person I know. I can help with that. You have never once how many wheels.

[Brady Bogan]

On an 18 wheeler?

[John Holmberg]

So I'm gonna need to study some more. You got some nice dogs. That's right, Tuma. Come on in. I just. I just won't. I just won't. I just want to drive a truck so I can help with that.

[Brady Bogan]

Great.

[John Holmberg]

Brady Santini, you can help with that. That's hilarious.

[Brady Bogan]

I wrote my name and number on a card.

[John Holmberg]

I'm only home for the card.

[Brady Bogan]

And said thank you so much, Brett. Beth.

[John Holmberg]

Here's the better part. I'm not home mornings from about 5 until 2. The house is usually pretty empty, so don't come by then. Yes, sir. Thank you very much for that superfluous info, Mason.

[Brady Bogan]

If not, I'm not here. Here's the key.

[John Holmberg]

If I'm not here. Under the mat and the dog. This one is Kiva Garage. Coco, catch. They really respond to treats, so you won't have to worry. None of them bite. They're good.

[Brady Bogan]

Here's the treat jar.

[John Holmberg]

My room's over there. The safe is 10 right, 13 left. I can help you with that. What profession could he have said where you're like, I got nothing. You were just, I'll help you no matter what he said. He's like, let's get you on the ball, then get you out of that pimp truck. You want to be that. That lady in the blind side. Oh, my God.

[Brady Bogan]

You need something to drink.

[John Holmberg]

So you guys, over the holidays, a savage came to my door and I helped kind of, you know, domesticate him a little bit and get him back into regular life.

[Brady Bogan]

If it was a savage, it was a savage.

[John Holmberg]

It was a. Saw him as a savage. Oh, my. A savage. And Gilbert, I might take this one in, man. I want to be a podiatrist. I can help with that. You can't do anything. Stop answering your door anyway. But it's a fun story up until the day you get stabbed in the neck. Please tell me one of your listeners.

[Brady Bogan]

Has the ability to make an AI video of Brady teaching someone how to.

[John Holmberg]

Get their CDL going through the questionnaire. So maybe I should read it. It sounds like you're struggling with some of them big words like automobile. Be like that scene in Taxi where he's trying to how's a yellow light mean slow down? Anyway, thank you, Brady. That was interesting. Stop answering the door. We'll do Rock wars next. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful rock media stat. He said fully erect. Still streaming. Homberg's morning sickness [e-mail] One of the highlights of 2025 was that band right there playing halftime at a Cardinals show. I played at the Cardinals game. They played at the halftime of the Jags game. It's a highlight of the cardinal season. Absolutely. I think you might be right. Best thing that happened out at that stadium. That was awesome. So the warning. I wish they had an ALB that popped this year. They did not. All right, let's do it. Rock Wars. Last one. And finally, it is the battle of annual music supremacy. Rock Wars. It's brought to you by our friends at Mo Money Pawn. Shorter long term collateral loans from $10 to over 100,000American ones. No credit needed. Top dollar paid. The entire process just taking several minutes. Way to go. Guys, the last1 Really.mo money pawn.com. we should do this. Michael McDonald. Yeah. No, we shouldn't. Yes. No, we had not. See. All right, Next year. The quartet hasn't been here in a while. The whole process just taking several minutes. No, I'm not sure I like that. We'll. We'll rehearse it on the break and we'll get it better. We'll tighten that up. It's song of the year is the last one we do every year. The song of 2025. The best rock song of 2025. And it's not necessarily slim pickings. And I'm going to go out knowing that nobody did it. But there's a band I love called Messenger Birds. Do you know them Messenger Birds? Oh, you sent that to. And I sent that to. And they had a song called Fake Lives this year that I absolutely loved. And it made them. And we never played it. They didn't get any push, any pop at all. All. And I really. There's somewhere between like Almost a Stone Temple Pilots, Lenny Kravitz and Royal Blood. Highly Suspect. They're a combo of a bunch of things. But that song called Fake Lives and I just want to push them a little because it made me listen to all their other stuff and it's great. Like, I've been all over this band since summer. Actually. I. I owe it to the Grammys, of all things, because I just went through for rock performances and found that they'd won one. So Messenger Birds I went with. But nobody knows it, so, you know, it's not really great. Brett, I'll start with you for your rock song of 2025. Go. I'm going with. Are you ready to. Yeah. Okay. I'm going with the. The comeback song for the Biscuit. No. Making love to Morgan Wall. Flex these bars on a dolphin fin Life's too short But I can't ride my scooter with a cape at night and I'm high five. That's the cool. I love the song. It grew on me. I didn't like it a ton. Thought it was fine, but. There you go. That's Morgan Wallen Making love to Morgan Wallen by the biz. Quick, Brady.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm going to give my nod to Wolfie this year. Oh, with the spell. Mammoth.

[John Holmberg]

Mammoth. Wolfgang Van Halen. This the new one. Take your. You tell me. The one thing I do love about this song is I can't place it in a ton. It sounds almost 80s and 90s. It reminds me of Free Mary 77 Mary 3. 7 Mary 3 kind of has an alter bridge in it. Alter bridge. It's got 2000s. It's got a. Which I think makes it just good. It kind of feels right in every parent. Cool vibe.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Wes's thing on your deal has me again when he. When he hits that little thing in the back, it's great. Well, I'm gonna win this. Those are great songs. I think it's a good one. But, I mean, there is. Yeah. As alive as alive as you need me to be the nine inch nail song to me Just head and shoulders.

[Brady Bogan]

Above I never had a chance to catch my breath.

[John Holmberg]

I don't want to call it a comeback, but it's the best song they've had since the first album, I think. Close.

[Brady Bogan]

Anybody listen to anything else?

[John Holmberg]

Soundtrack had all of it. Larry. As live as you need me to be from the arrows track. Soundtrack, Nine inch nails. There's really no losers in this. I mean, as far as song choices, they're all. Well, there is a loser, but you know what I'm saying, They're all great songs. In your hat, there is a number 18, a number 17, a number 4, a number 1, the number 5 for fun. Okay. Just in case. No, wait. We don't draw it yet. Oh, we're gonna have the vote for the song of the year now, do we? We're gonna let the people decide today. Okay, [e-mail] that's where you go with that. Will it be making love to Morgan Wallen, the 2025 song there will it be wolfie and matt mammoth with my daddy was great. That song was good. What was it called?

[Brady Bogan]

The spell.

[John Holmberg]

The spell. And then my song. As alive as you need me to be. My Nine Inch Nails. You can vote at [e-mail] youm can text your vote 97936. You can call us up and become the last caller. 585-9800. If we need you, we will go that direction. Rock wars. The last one for all the marbles. We'll put another thousand dollars on it for fun. All in.

[Brady Bogan]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

Brady said yes. He just answered this door. He's going to help a kid with a C. Needs a thousand bucks for a CDL license. We'll find out who the winner of rock wars is next. Merry effing holidays from the big red radio Hol's morning sickness. All right, off we go. Here we are. It's 9:53, loaded up, ready to go for rock wars. And I do believe this is the highest vote total I've ever seen. You guys participated. The choices for song of the year. Brett chose. What was it? Making a move to Morgan Wallen from Lip Biscuit. Brady chose Mammoth.

[Brady Bogan]

The spell.

[John Holmberg]

The spell. Ooh, the spell. And I chose Nine Inch Nails. As alive as you want me to be. And on the emails, I've never said this before because this is the most involved the audience has ever been. Brett got 26 votes. Brady got 14 and I got 14. That's a lot. Normally I just go through and go to the first 10. They just kept rolling up. But they were great. We had a lot of people rolling in there. It says Brett has it. This week. This one says my vote is for Large Marge Bogan. Mammoth delivered another great album. The end and the spell were hits. Pop Pop could use an annual rock wars win. Take that moolah to start his over the top truck driving and arm wrestling business with Curvider. Cue that, Kenny Loggins. Meet me halfway. Happy holidays, fellas. From scoop sellers. Brady gives nicknames, so he gave me that. Listen to the voting for you. John the Ginzo had a good pick too. Unfortunately, ever since Wolfie Virtue signaled you on the show, I've been turned off by him. Better luck next year, old Pop Pop AKA the loneliest player in the world. This one says it's all a tie. These are good songs. Brett had a rough year. Brady had a rough year. But I'm going to go with Brett simply on the Italian thing, Falcone. This one says I just listened to. Oh, wait, that's a different one. Happy holidays. Thanks for making my year better. I love you guys. Giving it to Bert Shimmery. My votes for Bert with Limp Bizkit. I find myself cranking up the radio every time it comes on. Thanks again for another amazing year, Chancellor Jew. Damn it, you guys rock. I just rolled right over it. There was a bunch of them there. There's tons of impossible decision amazing songs all in their own right. I love nine inch Nails, but in my eyes, Biz quick takes this one. Honestly been a hit and miss on a lot of their music, but this one was super creative. Brett giving you the vote, but it's barely. Thank you. That's from our friend Brent Crandall, who helps us out a ton. Says John Brady. E wins because f the system, man. Happy holidays and thanks to laughs Pop Pop. Go get him. And they just keep coming. All right, what do you have over on your board of on text? Brett's killing it, but Brady is really tight Coming in time. Really close. Surprisingly, the Nine Inch Nail song. I thought that was. Yeah, that doesn't slam dunk. All right. We hat in it. We gotta pull the hat and see what this is gonna be. Well, no, let's. Let's just see. All right. If Brady Wednesday can reach in. If you win, it's over. All right. If I win, I have to. What Tides would have to draw. Okay. And whoever draws a higher number between us will be the champion. Shut her down.

[Brady Bogan]

Okay.

[John Holmberg]

I didn't know I was gonna have to write down the Bretlin's emails. You got to write those emails. So once again, the choices are. Limp Biscuit. I'm stalling right now. Making love to Morgan Wallen. That's a Limp Bizkit song. We all loved it. It's great. Fred Durst, of course, was Morgan Wallenstein. West is in the band. Morgan Wallen. Not in the band. Not even really much of a reference to him. A great choice. So Brady chose Wolfgang Van Halen. You may know that name from years and years of music. Music back 79 when Van Halen came out with Van Halen 1. And of course, his dad and uncle are in that. Father and his uncle Edward and Alex and that also David Lee Roth was a member of the band Jew. And. And the other guy, Michael. And then. And then I chose Nine Inch Nails. Are we good? Yeah. All right. We stretched Armstrong, baby. All right, John Gordon, Pick a number between one and Richard. Five. Five.

[Brady Bogan]

Number one.

[John Holmberg]

Number one it is. And number one is. I can't see it. Email the emails, which goes to Brett. Brett Vesley is this year's Rock wars champion. Appropriate. We didn't have to reach into the hat. Brady trounced. I lost by two weeks. Brett is this year's champion. We'll have Dale send you some money in the app once he figures a championship win. Making love to Morgan Wallen. The Limp Biscuit song is this year's song of the year. Had I told you back in January Limp Bizkit would put out the best rock song of the year, would you have said? Yeah, probably. That would have been an argument. I got a bunch of people emailing about messenger birds. I'm not saying you have to like it. There's a lot of people.

[Brady Bogan]

That's cool.

[John Holmberg]

Check it out. Don't go crazy on me if you don't, though, is my point. Nothing worse than telling somebody I really like this, and they come back, would you tell me that crap Member? I hated it. All right, well, we have different opinions. Opinions. Calm down. But I do like them. The messenger birds are cool. Very cool. All right, here it is. Your rock song of 2025. Brett, you're a champion. Nice job. Do you have any words?

[Brady Bogan]

Great win, Brett.

[John Holmberg]

On the podium from the first place. Suck it. That's exactly what I expect. Brady, I'm not sure I want to do this job anymore. Can you help me get a CDL? It's 9:58, Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. You said fully erect. Still streaming. Hs Morning Sickness [e-mail] and it is the song of the year. You got it twice this morning. That's a good one. It's catchy. It wins. Every time I hear it, it gets a little better. I like that guy says, oh, man, I can't believe it. Well, at least let Rubber Ducky know I voted for for him.

[Brady Bogan]

Ten, four.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, good buddy. Truck driving cdl. Brady. Rubber Ducky. I said that mammoth song has weird nostalgia in it. I can't play. Yeah, I'm the same way with that. It's good stuff though. It is. There you go, Brady. Oh. What? There he is. Well, we got all these AI things of Brady. What is it? They help out people who bang on the door. Get better job. Come on. He's like a job placement center. Afternoon. Yeah, we definitely got the front door. Good buddy Mercy. That's how Brady's answer the door. You should have a CB at your couch so you can talk to the people at your front door. He kind of does with the ring. You should just talk to him through that. Anyway, it's time now for us to entertain you one last time in 2025. And I gotta read this before we get to it says holiday season again. And I have solved the problem on why millions of people get depressed and suicide rates spike. Like it's because you guys go off the air for two weeks. We have nothing to listen to for the next two weeks. We've been listening to radio shows like Katie, KB or Christmas time with Beth. Where's my gun? I say I have to go clean it. So I don't listen to that. I guess we can listen to the best of for the next two weeks. It's just not the same. Then I had an idea. What if you had Toledo plug all your voices into AI and just let it run its own version like they do at kslx? Probably too late, but maybe do a Christmas Day episode episode or New Year's Day episode. What if it was really good and the Bob's never brought you Back. Well it would have to be New.

[Brady Bogan]

Year's because we have the 24 hours.

[John Holmberg]

Of HMS on Christmas Day. By the way. I'm not for that. That's something I too late and I.

[Brady Bogan]

Know stop and moving train.

[John Holmberg]

It was never my idea. It was too maybe I was joking. The last thing I think we should do is have me on for 24. You guys took that seriously. I was not serious about it. That, that was not my hey, we should run me for 24. I never said that with any excitement. No, I did not. Well then I take it back. Take it off because I don't want that. I think it's an awful thing to do to people. All the part timers like yeah F you John. Taking away our time. I take away people's jobs. Sean Knight is pissed at you. I swear to you this is not my name. Right. Maybe I said it on that couch over. You guys should just run me for 24 hours. That would have been me being funny. Arrogant joking guy. And you guys are like hey, he's got something. Cuz Larry came right to me after we could do that. And I'm like we have plenty of content. Nobody talked to me about it. Like are you sure you want something? Like no, I was kidding. That sounds awful. I spend 24 hours a day with me and I hate it. About eight hours in, I'm like enough of this. I slam the door on me sometime. Like yuck. I put a door in my mirror. Mirror. Get that guy out of here. Brady would never do that to you. No. Do you need a truck driving gig in there? Double John, Rubber ducky and Double John coming at you. Anyway, it's time for the entertainment drills. The Last 1 of 2025 and it's brought to you by our friends over@react defense.com. that's the home of Tactical Black 25 years. Years. It's what they're going to be celebrating in 2026. And that is an awesome thing because they're the best at it. Best in the world doing what they do and they can help you guys out. You saw some of that in Australia when that guy took matters into his own hand to save lives. And it gets crazy. He actually made a couple mistakes but he still saved the day by tackling that guy. But the thing that he got, it turns out the guy that did the rescuing and tackled the shooter, held that gun, got shot possibly by a cop who thought he was the shooter. Shooter. We go through that drill up a tactical black and action. Or the they do the Active shooter seminar. Some of it is if you get a gun in your hand and the cops aren't there yet and you've. And there's been a. They've neutralized something. Put that gun down. They're going to think you're the bad guy. So you have to. There's a bunch of different things that you can do. The scenarios they go through and all the stuff that they're. They train you on, get your brain thinking real quick. And once they neutralize that dude with the gun. He stood there with his gun and a cop on. There's the guy we're looking for. Came from the same sounds and it. Everything else, but he's still a hero. And the other person was as well. I don't think they have videotape of the other person tackling was a woman, if I'm not mistaken, that tried to tackle the other shooter. It's phenomenal. Doesn't matter about the size of the dog. It's the size of the fight in the dog. And that's what they teach up there. You can feel like you're small. You can feel like you're weak. There's dudes up there, six, eight and women. Get in there and train with them and they give them all their worth. Because once you get some confidence and once you get trained, boy, you can defend yourself in a whole bunch of different ways. 89 bucks for a month of training. That's what they're looking at right now. And that is an unfinished, unbelievable deal for the holidays. Get on that. Get some gift cards. And thanks to the Ackerman family for everything they do for us here at KUPD as well, especially those delicious cookies. Got to keep us in shape and then give us cookies every year to make sure we come back. Reactdefense.com that's the home of Tactical Black Brady Entertainment.

Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert. His is paralyzed below the waist because he's a battle with cancer. And he's asking President Trump to give him access to the drug drug Plavicto. That hasn't been approved, but it.

[John Holmberg]

Let's see.

[Brady Bogan]

Yeah, so. But it's been delayed due to his new radiation treatments that he's been getting.

[John Holmberg]

I believe we blow up a boat of Plavicto and it's way over from Venezuela. Sorry about that. We could put some floaties on your chair and maybe there's still some out there. We got him, sir. We got all of them. We got another one. All right. Get some clavicto for dildo's. Writer, what's his name? Scott Hornbecker.

[Brady Bogan]

I don't know Scott Adams.

[John Holmberg]

That's the guy. Guy we got to get out there. Going to blow up. We're going to do a lot of Happy holidays everyone. Happy Jew holidays. And black and mostly happy Merry Christmas to all the normals.

[Brady Bogan]

Zootopia 2 has been a worldwide sensation, hitting the 1 billion mark faster than any animated PG rated movie in history. And because of that, one of the characters, Gary the snake, the Indonesian pit viper has become a popular pet in China. It's venomous. Although the pit vipers bite is rarely fatal, it can result in pain, swelling and serious tissue damage. So now people are buying them, paying a couple hundred bucks for the pit vipers.

[John Holmberg]

Well, I hope it eats all of them.

[Brady Bogan]

Taking the home and pet them.

[John Holmberg]

I have no sympathy for anyone who buys something called a viper hyper unless it's a dodge. And even then that was sort of a bad decision. The value of those things dropped off the face of the planet.

[Brady Bogan]

I'm turning to my grandma.

[Brady Bogan]

Oh, I like.

[John Holmberg]

I like it. He does things still.

[Brady Bogan]

It's on Apple tv. Adults. Season one on fx Hacks. Season four on hbo. Number three, Abbott Elementary.

[John Holmberg]

I hear that's fantastic. And that's basically sort of the people from Always Sunny. Also the dude from Always Sunny, Phil is the number one one shrinking, overcompensating.

[Brady Bogan]

Number two, season one shrinking.

[John Holmberg]

That's a very good.

[Brady Bogan]

You mentioned the number one. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, they didn't care if it was new or old. I see. Yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

Yep.

[John Holmberg]

Always Sunny is ridiculously hilarious when it's. When it hits it hits it out of the yard.

[Brady Bogan]

Snoop Dogg will be the halftime show for the Vikings Lions Christmas Day game.

[John Holmberg]

On Netflix, sponsored by Corona and whatever else he's decided that way Martha Stewart.

[Brady Bogan]

Will be on the pole dancing.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brady Bogan]

And if you wanted to see the Rolling Stones this year or next year, it's not going to happen.

[John Holmberg]

They're dead.

[Brady Bogan]

Keith Richards isn't up to it.

[John Holmberg]

It. Oh.

[Brady Bogan]

Arthritis in the recent years and it's.

[John Holmberg]

He's mid-80s, 82.

[Brady Bogan]

Tomorrow.

[John Holmberg]

I. Keith. I don't want to go out no more. Make my hands hurt. Come on, Keith. We've got to go out one more time, right? Yeah, I won't go out anymore. Keith. Keith is all done.

[Brady Bogan]

But there is a new album coming out in 26.

[John Holmberg]

It's called Ouch. Where's my Voltaren? That's called. Why? I would like that. If their album was called Rolling Stones. Pass. Voltaire. Namek. That's the name of the album. It's just him pointing to the Voltaren. You Voltaire. And you gotta go on stage. I gotta keep it like a carrot on a stick. Oh my. Look, you see Keith out there with a hat with a rope on it. It's got Voltaren hanging just out of his reach. Finish the show, Keith. We gotta add the gang at give you Voltaren if you finish the show. I knew me Voltaren. Are they any good anymore? I mean live? I haven't. They were great four years ago when.

[Brady Bogan]

We saw him here.

[John Holmberg]

That was when I was in my 70s. Charlie was still alive. Charlie. That was a long time ago. Charlie died in the 70s. We just didn't tell him. When did you know? 90s. We were all. We were all. He started to stink.

[Brady Bogan]

Now you can go, mate. Is that.

[John Holmberg]

It was late on. Everything used to be a metronome and it was dead. Right. We gotta kick Charlie out of the band due to death. Who's gonna tell him? I'll do it. Charlie, we gotta let you out of the band. What? What I do wrong? Well, you died 18 years ago. That's what. We gotta get rid of you then. Come on, man. It's like you're nothing but a skeleton now. You've got a Lego. Oh, shucks. All right, who's our new drummer? Make sure he's alive. 5. It's 1012. That's it. The show's over. We even went over. We gave you a little extra. You're welcome. You're welcome. Thank you all for another fantastic. Well, it wasn't a. There's a lot of strife this year. This was a tough one. We almost left. We. To be honest with you, from April till about. I was. I was on the way out. Yeah, it was a. But it was still fun. Coming in here with you guys was fun. And all the listeners that have said nice things to us, we appreciate you more than you know for sure. Thank you for another year. Yeah, again, another outstanding thing. We'll do it again. Somebody said I missed the Heel of the Year award. We forgot his name. But it was the dude that smashed the puppy. And I didn't really want to do the story. We were having so much fun. But he smashed a puppy with a shovel and then stomped it on a street corner. And then it made the news, and they had video of it. 9. This dude is, like the worst human being alive. There were some bad ones this year, but that dude stood out. So that was back in, like, March, too. Horrible human being. I don't even want to give his name credit, even though it should, because we'll bring him. I want to shame his family and everybody that ever was nice to him. Ever awful person. That's it. Larry's coming up next. He's the opposite of what I just talked about. He is not the S heel of the year. Never even been a nominee as far as I know. But there's always next year. You guys have a good one. Thanks for everything. Have a happy holiday. Stay safe. And by the way, way, always remember that it's amateur hour from December 24th to January 2nd. So don't be one of those pricks that wrecks it for someone else. And certainly stay safe. I say everyone stay home. Don't do any. Just listen to the top 98 on KUPD and 24 hours of home birth. You know what? I highly recommend you skip that. That is horrible. That's a curse. That's not that.

[Brady Bogan]

So I put it on Christmas.

[John Holmberg]

And then you just throw Jew for Christmas. Oh, 24 hours of Jew for Christmas.

[Brady Bogan]

I remember.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, you remember. I used to storm up and down, why don't they do this for me? I think it's a terrible idea, but they do it anyway. It's Christmas Day. It's probably got some funny parts, but it's just. Look, Come on. That's way too much me.

[Brady Bogan]

Lots of old stuff.

[John Holmberg]

Terrible. Just terrible. Technically, it's all enjoy Christmas with your family.

[Brady Bogan]

It's already in the can, but, yeah.

[John Holmberg]

Turn the radio off. Enjoy Christmas with the family. It's not even rated. I don't care. See if we can get a zero that day. That's just. It's horrible. Hilarious. A terrible thing. This is not my idea. Larry's next. Have a great one. We'll do 24 hours of Larry one of these days. We'll catch you in 2026. So long, everybody. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect.
