Wayne, there's nothing worse than thinking you're all set with your holiday shopping and then that damn check engine light comes.
B
On in your car. Larry, Most times the light is caused by something simple and can be reset on the spot. And Amco will check your engine light for free.
A
Now, what about extended warranties?
B
No problem, Larry. AMCO is authorized by all of the major warranty companies and Amco has payment.
A
Plans if you need. What a great help for the holidays. This is awesome.
B
I'll say. We're Amco.
A
Google Amco for your nearest location. That's Amco, Double A, MCO transmissions and a whole lot more.
B
All this show with none of the fluff. Let's get started. There's more of the best of Homburg's morning sickness. It's good that the election is all over. It's good that we're sitting here on Veterans Day with everybody kind of having taken their lumps or feeling pretty good about winning. Meathead, our friend Meathead sent me a picture. He was at the Cardinals game and he sent me a picture of himself and he's in a shirt that just says Trump. And I'm like, they letting you in? And he goes, nobody seems to care anymore. I'm like, nice, the election's over. You can just be that guy. I suppose that's a thing. So he didn't care that it was there. And he was like, that, that's just the way it is. But you still have some stragglers that are upset about the election. Now, I got a Larry, our boss handed me this email a couple days ago, and that's the other one. And it says it's pretty good. Says, dear kupd, you know, this is a dude, like, the election's over and we all kind of. Most people are just like, all right, let's just move on. Because I've listened for 30 years and I've decided that Homberg's right wing agenda and negativity for all things is enough to make me pull the plug. I will never listen to the station again. And what's more, I will never purchase anything from one advertiser that is on the air with you. I will monitor this and keep a post. His miserable opinion of Kamala over a rapist felon makes me realize one thing. He hates women and he hates People who push back. In fact, that's why one person's not on the show anymore. He had one political thought, and John didn't want to hear it. Yeah, that's what. He also hates women so much that I could see where if there was an offer to send them back 100 years in time, he would do it. No, I wouldn't. That was before feminine hygiene.
A
Disgusting.
B
Disgusting. Yuck. Hundred year old. My response now is to abandon your station until you get rid of him. He says he's not political, but he told the band of brainless zombies that listen to Vote for Trump without actually saying it, because he knows just how to do it. Because the brain dead audience he talks to is easy to manipulate. I am done, Russell. Well, Russell, let me tell you, first and foremost, you can have your opinion. And while you're monitoring all of our commercials, I want to just say thanks for listening. We change out commercials fairly regularly, so you're gonna. It's gonna be a long process for you, and eventually I think we're just gonna hit to where you don't. You're not going anywhere. But you're gonna need to listen now more than ever to take your stance, Russell, and make sure that none of these commercials are ever a place you frequent or. Or, you know, patronize. Give them their. You can't have any time of your own now, Russell, you just go right down our list of commercial. Let me. Let me help you out. Mo money. Pawn the Good guys. Car show. You can't go to those things. They're terrible. Goldberg and Oswald right out. Chapman. No Chapman Dodge for you ever again. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Tons of them. The Navy. You have to hate the Navy now, Russell. Idiot. Amco, Double A. Not for you. Yeah, there's tons of them.
A
You can't get an awning or a shade now.
B
No, can't do that. None of that.
A
Way to go, John Limbaugh.
B
That's right, because I wouldn't stop trying to do brainless. And by the way, you brainless zombies out there, who he's really mad at, the guy's been listening for 30 years. He wasn't one of those brainless zombies that he's. He was above you. He was better than you. So much more than what the average listener is. That's why he saw through my ruse, just like this guy. Because I'm so clearly right wing. It comes. All of you see it. Everyone out there sees that I am a right wing lunatic just pushing the right wing agenda. Unless you Read what Timothy wrote. Dear Holmberg, despite your attempts to stay neutral through the election, I'm happy to report that you and your commie media ways lost. I used to really like your show, but you've become so insanely PC and left, I can't take it anymore. I know it's probably eating you up that you have to tow the left media line, but you're doing it well, which tells me you kind of believe it. Shilling for Kamala 25 times a morning saying, no, I have to play the commercials. Whatever happened to it's my show, tough guy? Where's that? Nope. You bowed to the powers that be and now Trump has won and you have to eat it. Hopefully your new liberal approach serves you well in my Trump world. Loser. Signed, Timothy. Yep. Wait a minute. A second ago I was the crazy right wing lunatic playing with the mush heads that listen to the show now. Now it's the mush heads that were fighting back and I'm some lunatic communist. My God, Charlemagne Holmberg over here. Yeah, you know that?
A
All over the place.
B
You guys hear me storming up and down the hallways, yelling at everybody. I was crying my eyes out. Wednesday, I fought back. Crying so hard. I can't believe he won. Making my TikTok videos of how the world's coming to an end.
A
I mean, I was a little upset that you didn't man up and stop some of these political commercials, you know, because you could do that.
B
Yeah, well, Brady, I tell you what, I could, but it's my show. He's right. I should have just stopped those, but I didn't want to. Deep down, I needed that left. Then I could be a lefty for that's how I was telling people. I was quietly trying to be that guy. But I wasn't very good at it. Geez, Donovan says I love these people. Members of the Accepting, Love and Tolerance Party, screaming out that they hate you for believing different and they'll never be part of your show. 30 years the guy listened, Russell. Now Russell and Timothy should sit in a room together and cancel each other out. And by that I mean fight to the death. But yeah. So those are the emails I'm getting. And it's kind of waning now, I think a little post election lash out. I half expected a little of that, but I always get that. I always get both sides. Whenever I have one that screams at me, I know shortly thereafter there's a second step for me. Shortly thereafter there's a second one that'll say the opposite.
A
We've had celebrities double dip on the if. If he gets elected again, I'm moving.
B
Yeah.
A
You know, from 2016 they had a list out. I'm like, man, this is the second round.
B
You've done it twice and you're not going anywhere. Says, hey, Russell, why don't you go lay your head on your wife's lap and cry like the rest of them? Well, Matthew, you're not wrong, but he doesn't have a wife. He's a homosexual. I hate women. Are you crazy?
A
You flash your white dudes for Harris card to this guy and pissed him off or what?
B
Hate women so much, I couldn't take my eyes off of one last night who wasn't wearing any pants. I didn't try to stop that. She's free. This one says because of you, I didn't vote. Your unbiased insight on both of these idiot options was spot on. So I thank you. Russell kick rocks. He doesn't listen well. No, no, no, no. Andrea, you're just a mush head who doesn't understand how anything works because you don't believe exactly the same way as Russell. Yes, fire anyone in this room who disagrees with me. It happens daily. That's why we have such huge turnover. You're just a coward, Both of you. Probably sitting back going, oh, I want to say something, but I'll lose my job. He's insane.
A
You're right, John. Exactly what you said.
B
That's right. Or else you two pricks better fall in line. Give Russell a message from me and the ghouls. F off Russell. I hope you get Parkinson's and aids. That's right, David. We wish Parkinson's and AIDS on Russell. Parkinson's. Parkinson's. Whipping boy reporting for duty. Oh, here we go. Toledo. He's on one side or the other that I. That I support vehemently. If it's Timothy or Russell, whichever one it is, you and I are on the same page. According to Timothy. And then Russell thinks that I hate women. Don't fire me, boss. I'm thinking about it. Yeah, I don't like how you're side eyeing me. Get out. Damn it. I'm just a firing machine. 23 years we've had two people come and go. That's a track record I don't think I should be ashamed of. Hey, Russell. Go.
A
Go breastfeed your cats, you crybaby.
B
All right, people are talking about that. This one says both sides have one thing in common. They hate hearing the truth. And you speak it. Tommy, Tommy, you want a Job. That's pretty agreeable stuff right there. I think I like Tommy.
A
I really like him too.
B
Me too. Get better or else. You guys know how it is around here. My thumb's on you. It's red. Oh, don't ask for help. I'll put you back in the box. The sandpaper box this time, buddy. Now eat your broth with chicken heads in it. That's all you eat Here, Holmberg. Screw the elections. What did you do to chase off Tasha and Jeannie? Yeah, I don't know. They're gone and I wish they were still here. I guess as it stands right now, Russell could get a commercial garage door as Tasha and Jeannie aren't currently advertising. But if they come back, then he's got to give it back. That's the thing. Sometimes advertisers take little breaks. So he's got to listen all the time. Like he's got to write down all our advertisers. That's great. Thank you. That's going to be 24 hours of ratings. We really appreciate that, Russell. And then he's got to write all that down and then like realize at the end of the day his list is incomplete because tomorrow may start a.
A
New.
B
Tasha and Jeannie series, right? They may be like, we just took a couple months off, another new business, reassessed our marketing, and we're putting it back on with you or we're only going to go. You know, there's a lot of times when their business is like, this is our, this is our fast time. We don't need to advertise right now. So we'll do it during downtime or opposite. A lot of people like to advertise when things are hot, keep it going and you know, really kind of make hay. And then in the slow times, they pull back, you know, make money for a rainy day. So you never know. But keep your eyes open there, Russell. Cause you never know if Tasha and Jeannie come back and you just got yourself a new commercial door, like, oh, I got it from them. I gotta give that back. If you want to keep your incredibly powerful stance together for a long period of time, you never know, right?
A
In your holidays. Log em down for this.
B
Keep going holiday season. And hey, we're have a whole bunch of new people popping in for the holidays. You got a hell of a job you've created for yourself, taking your stance and I admire it. Russell, you're gonna be monitoring this station non stop and that just means our ratings will go through the moon because we got A guy that won't stop listening for hours on end, writing down every commercial he hears.
A
Must stop this sale.
B
Can't go to Desert Diamond Casino ever again. God damn it. Must never call the law. Tigers can't do business at Wells Fargo. Merry effing holidays from the Big Red. Radio. Sickness. Gotta drop out of Maricopa Community Colleges. Can't enjoy the traffic and weather network anymore. Russell's just gonna be. You're gonna get carpal tunnel. Russell, be careful. You know what I suggest? Dictate that to someone. Your wrist is gonna hurt. And to Timothy, you're right. Unlike what Russell believes, my left leaning ways were exposed. I hate that Timothy was the one that came out and said, found you out, buddy. But there it was. I did a lot of those commercials for Kamala. She didn't even pay for them. I was just throwing them in there. So hell bent on getting her elected. That's what we deal with.
A
Must stop finding homes for dogs.
B
Oh, yeah. I can't do that. Can't go to Sit Stay brunch Saturday at Monte Lucia. Omni lost our home. Pet rescue off the list. And then yesterday a great story is I wish I could have been here for this. I'm downtown a lot. But the headline's the best part. Man in bunny suit flashes woman in downtown. That's. That's what I go to downtown for a. If I see a man in a bunny suit, I'm not turning the other way. I'm following him for a little while. And then it turns out he's whipping his dick out too. It's.
A
I'd picture that thing just filthy.
B
He looks a little bit like the way. Who's the. Where my dog's at. What was his name?
A
Dmx.
B
Dmx. It looks a little like the DMX was still around. Like how he would have aged. Says police arrested man Monday identified as a flasher in a bunny suit. Documents say 44 year old Nolan Patrick Matthews walked into the backyard of a house in Downtown Phoenix at 7 and whipped it out for a woman who lived there. And then he just left. Pretty easy to catch, really. It's like. All right, Let me call 911 real quick. Black guy, bunny suit just showed me his dick in the backyard. All right, we're on it, man. We'll get that in a second. Can't catch those Gilbert goons, but black guy in a bunny suit's going to jail immediately.
A
Two blocks away.
B
Yeah, officers called near 7th street and I tend to spoke with a neighbor who lived right around there. And said she gave him the video of the doorbell camera. There he is. It's the bunny suit you're looking for. You see a black man in a bunny suit? That's the guy. They were able to locate the man that fit his description immediately. It didn't take long for officers to get the job done. They drove to the man was being held. They interviewed him immediately and he said that he had a ID card for his employment. They didn't say where he worked. According to document Hacienda Hospital. Yeah, it could have been. He admitted to being in the backyard. But I never showed him my dick. I just dressed as a bunny in that lady's yard. Now it doesn't matter if he showed the dick or not. Black men in a bunny suit in my backyard's going to jail. I'm sorry. That's happening like immediately. Even if Al, my landscaper shows up in a bunny suit, I'm like, al's gone crazy. I'm gonna have to call the police.
A
Matter if it's a white guy. Anybody dressed up as the Energizer bunny in my backyard is out. That bunny sure has a long tail.
B
I mean. Yeah, I guess you're right. I mean, for some reason it's. I don't know, maybe that's my bigotry. White guy in the bunny suit, I feel like I could take him real easy. Black guy in the bunny suit. I assume something horrible is going on and I'm about to go down. Like he's got a plan. White guy is probably just. I thought he's a disaster and needs to go to jail. But I. I honestly, I feel like I could just hit him with a bat. It could be one of your neighbors. Exactly. That's kind of what I was getting at. It might be a partygoer that thinks he should be at Michael and Troy's. And he wandered into my yard. That's what I think I was thinking.
A
Was a homeless guy. And that was basically the only thing he had. You know, it's cold.
B
Really.
A
So he got a hold of dressed like Ralph from A Christmas Story.
B
I mean, ow.
A
I don't know what's in those grocery carts. Sometimes when you see them, they collect stuff.
B
Right? But you're saying it got cold and his only option was the big giant rabbit.
A
And he's walking around, well, why is.
B
It somebody donated that? And he's like, oh, this will come in handy someday. Woo, it's chilly outside. Good thing I have my life size bunny outfit. Said no man ever, homeless or otherwise. You'd have to be like, I'm not putting that on. Not doing it.
A
Fits nice.
B
I think Brett's right. I think if I saw a guy in my backyard. Black guy in a bunny suit is gonna kill me. White guy in a bunny suit's at the wrong house. He needs to be next door because it's just something leaked over from Michael and Troy's place. Mexican guy in a bunny suit. Somebody's getting. Yeah, something's in trouble there too. Or he's getting chased. Or he's like coyotes are after him or something. I don't know. There's all sorts of different things. And then you get like an agent in a bunny suit. And there's too much karate. He's going to jail too. There's a lot of confidence is what I'm saying. If you're wearing a bunny suit and you go into somebody else's yard, you're hard to take down.
A
Well, it's a Mexican guy on the corner or something.
B
Then it would be like the.
A
It'd be tax season, you know?
B
Yeah.
A
My Statue of Liberty was in the cleaners essay.
B
I had to get the rabbit suit dressed as a rabbit. It was the only thing I had. And it was cold. I'm just saying there's a lot of confidence to wander into some of stranger's yard in the bunny suit. And then I start going down the worst possible stereotypes I can think of. But again, white guy in the bunny suit. I automatically think gay. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the most homosexual you can be as a white. No self respecting black man puts the bunny suit on. He's gone crazy. Absolutely gone crazy. I just want to put my bunny suit on. Wander around a stranger's yard against the law. It's incredibly against the law. Yes, the bunn suit. No, the bunny suit's not. But you being here is. I ain't that a. I just love him young. Trying to wander around my bunny suit, stay warm.
A
You're homeless. You don't have a home. You're like, what can I do to get three hops in a cot without getting two of them?
B
And then maybe dresses up onion and go over to Michael and Troy's and earn some money. You're right. Brett's right. That was my first initial bigotry. The white guy's a homosexual and he's at the wrong house. I actually might even go, you're looking for the guys next door. I might. I might even just immediately help him. And he turns out to be an AJ Meth head in a bunny suit. I'm like, whoops, my bad. I immediately went to the assumption of you're a gay man looking for a party that's not here, and Michael and Troy are right over there. Look for the other bunnies. Just start saying, hey, bunny. Hey, bunny, and they'll hop right over the fence and get you. It must be a bunny party I don't know about. It's Playboy night over at Michael and Troy. I don't know. That's a great story. And if you do see a guy walking around downtown Phoenix in a bunny suit ignoring it, I mean, that's what they mean with the sign, see something, say something. They're not talking about terrorism. That's the thing where. That's when you rat somebody up. Like, all right, this is not gonna go well for anybody. I'm looking at a dude in a bunny suit. Just wander on 7th Street. You want to check this and just have the cops ask some questions?
A
And what if somebody walks in down the halls here in a bunny suit?
B
Nuts. It would be Moynihan. I already know who would do it first. Moynihan would do it, and it would probably be because the ladies downstairs talked him into doing another video. And Moynihan gets pushed around by the sales hens really badly.
A
Here comes Stevie.
B
You know who'll wear the stupid bunny suit is Moynihan.
A
He's like Mikey from Life cereal.
B
Yeah. They treat him like he's prideless, and now he's a manager, so eventually he'll get his revenge. They can't wait to put Moynihan in outfits. They dress him up like a dapper Dan. Hey, Moy. At the best story. Hey, Moynihan, we're doing a commercial. You want to be in it? Sure. Okay. You're the before. What does that mean? Well, you're gonna drive a junkie car, and when you get in it, we'll film you getting in. But then it transforms into a beautiful car, and gorgeous Dustin from KDKB's gonna get out. So when you drive this car, you're an ugly schlub. That's your role. When you drive the other car, you're a beautiful gay. That's what Dustin's role is. Stunning, shiny, beautiful man. Okay. And Steve's out in the parking lot filming it. He's gonna kill somebody one of these days. I know. And they gave him a job with power, which I admire. And he's biding his time, which I admire even more. But if anybody in this building is going to be in that bunny suit. It's morning. We can dress Steve, like, anything we want, say the ladies down there, until it's too late. One of these days, that bunny's gonna be in your yard showing him his wiener. But, yeah, I want to be downtown when that happens. I want that stuff to happen to me.
A
We had that one guy for a while that was downtown in the speedo and cowboy hat.
B
No, they had the baby man. Speedo and cowboy hat was New York. That was.
A
Was that New York? I know. We had Babyman. I thought we had a cowboy hat guy, too.
B
Probably, but not like, the dude in New York City got famous. He was in a speedo and cowboy hat. He would walk around singing to people. I want to look out my window one morning and just go, what the hell is that? And just see some dude in a bunny suit looking back at me with his dick out. What's up? Yep. I'm gonna call the cops now. But this is great stuff. I just want that to happen. Hey, come here for a sec. Megan, do you see that? Yeah, there's a man in the bunny suit with his dick out. Yeah, I see it too. Look at that.
A
I like to see the Statue of Liberty not being able to dress. Just walking after the shift.
B
In your yard?
A
No, just walking on. Yeah. Going home and have to get on the bus.
B
I want it to happen. I want it fully to happen to me because it's at 59th Avenue.
A
Camelback.
B
I won't. I won't call the cops, like, right away. I'm just gonna hang out and watch him for a little bit because they're gonna catch him. Dude in a bunny suit doesn't go too far. I'm gonna see what he does. What's he doing? He just climbs the fence. How'd he get in? Did he climb the fence? Did he go through a gate? Like, how does this happen? And I'd like to see him struggle climbing the fence. And then I'm calling the cops. There's a guy in my yard. He's hilarious, but he's in a bunny suit. He's trying to get out, and he stops. I go, give him a boost. Let's get you in that alley. What's wrong with you if you own a bunny suit? And I find out if I was at your house and I open your closet and there's a big pink bunny suit, Calling the cops for that too. I'm like, you're up to no good.
A
That's your Michael and Troy's house.
B
Well, that's. That's the closet. I go through their closet. See a suit instead of all the 18 or 20 bunny suits like this one doesn't fit in. Something strange going on.
A
Like a zoo when that furry party's happening.
B
Yeah. Oh, I'd go over to that party dressed as a rabbit, see what's.
A
There's an anteater walking down the street.
B
There's a good chance I'll. I'll wake up one morning and there'll be a sleeping rabbit man in my yard. Oh, Michael and Troy's party leaked over in dark grass. Sorry about that. Trevor got loose. He bounced over my fence. We'll pick him up. Don't worry about it. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. 98 kept. Did you know you can opt out of winter with VRBO?

Episode: 12-19-25 – Russell And Timothy Angry On John's Political Bias, Man In Bunny Suit Flashing
Date: December 19, 2025
Host: John Holmberg with Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo
Main Themes: Listener backlash over perceived political bias post-election, humorous takes on local weird news, and the show’s signature irreverent style.
This episode finds John Holmberg and the crew in the wake of the election, sifting through passionate (and comic) listener feedback accusing the show of both extreme right and left political bias. They riff on outrage culture, the impossibility of pleasing all listeners, and local Arizona oddities—highlighting a bizarre story involving a man in a bunny suit flashing residents. The tone’s satirical, self-deprecating, and typically “Morning Sickness” irreverent.
Russell’s Email:
Russell, a 30-year listener, accuses Holmberg of a “right-wing agenda and negativity,” vowing to boycott both the show and every advertiser.
John’s Sarcastic Response:
Holmberg facetiously helps Russell with his boycott, listing local advertisers and suggesting he’ll basically need to monitor the show forever to keep up.
Timothy’s Opposite Complaint:
Shortly after, Timothy writes in with the exact opposite allegation, accusing John of being a left-wing “commie.”
Hosts Joke About the Impossibility of Staying Neutral:
Meta-Humor About Listener Intensity:
Crew Roasts Both Sides:
The hosts make fun of the self-importance of boycotters and people threatening to leave the country over politics.
Classic HMS Viciousness:
Reads out angry (and sometimes truly wild) listener texts, such as one listener wishing “Parkinson’s and AIDS” on Russell.
John Mocks Russell’s New ‘Job’:
Running Gag:
Mentions long-running advertisers coming and going, meaning Russell must be vigilant at all times—"never stop listening." (11:46–12:59)
News Story Recap:
A man in downtown Phoenix, dressed in a bunny suit, exposes himself to a local woman—captured on doorbell cam.
Hosts’ Reaction:
Riffing on Homelessness & Costumes:
Office Character Comedy:
Holmberg muses about station staff (like Moynihan) likely to end up in a bunny suit for a commercial or internal gag.
Recollections of Other Local Oddballs:
Furry Parties & Neighborhood High Jinks:
The episode is classic "Holmberg's Morning Sickness," blending caustic political banter, local news absurdity, and relentless self-mockery. The hosts skewer the outrage of both political extremes, demonstrating how in the realm of talk radio (and especially this show), neutrality is a near-impossible mirage. The bizarre bunny suit story is the perfect pivot to bring the banter back home to Phoenix, with the team riffing on everything from homelessness to neighborhood parties.
For listeners, the episode is a vivid reminder that HMS is unapologetically irreverent, ready to offend anyone and everyone—usually with a wink and a snort.
