Episode Overview

This episode of Holmberg’s Morning Sickness is a blend of food debates, weird news stories, playful banter, and the gang’s signature Arizona humor. Kicking off with National Spaghetti Day, the crew dives into heated discussions about bottled pasta sauces, Italian food snobbery, and whether real Italians can truly tell the difference between “Mama’s gravy” and store-bought sauce. The show later cascades into odd news stories—ranging from vegan strip clubs and gator/crocodile drama in Alaska, to a soap-opera-infatuated poison plot. Signature playful jabs, food talk, and ridiculous “facts” make this a classic “HMS” episode.

• Listener pushback:
  A listener named Taylor claims:

  “Every real Italian can tell the difference between any sauce instantly…noticeable difference in the jarred BS and the real effing guinea stuff.” (06:32)
  The hosts immediately laugh at the idea of an Italian named Taylor.

• Memorable banter:
  • John accuses Brady of not being able to tell the difference between Rao’s, Prego, or “Mama’s Gravy”:

  Mediterranean is ranked healthiest (“too many olives,” John jokes).

  Chick-Fil-A fries now include “pea starch.” People online insist they taste different.

[C]

Hi, Happy national spaghetti.

[A]

Hey, there you go. A little ragu tonight. Pull it right out of that box, put it in the hot water.

[C]

You got one with ragu. Prego. What are you doing?

[A]

If you had to pick one out of a jar. If I had to. What's a good one?

[C]

Probably the rouse.

[A]

Oh, rouse is good. Brady's nodding.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Of course you have.

[C]

That's a good bottle of gravy.

[A]

You're gonna do it. You wouldn't know in four bowls in front of you which one was rouse and which one wasn't. Oh, yeah. No, you'd just be four empty bowls, one you liked a little more than the other. He'd get to the bottom of this. Every bowl. Everybody would be licked clean.

[C]

That's a good bottle.

[A]

That second one wasn't as good as the third. They're all the same. Just before empty bowls, one you liked a little more than the other. He'd get to the bottom of this. Every bowl. Every bowl would be licked clean.

[C]

That's a good bottle.

[A]

That second one wasn't as good as the third. They're all the same. You nodding away. I'll take it from over here. From actually had mama's gravy. Rouse is the closest thing, huh? I would say so you take the pasta out of the box, you pour the rouse on. No, you make the pasta first. You pour it into the hot water, half of it sticking out, and you spin it a little bit and then the other and just take it out.

[B]

Whenever he's got a process.

[A]

And then. And then. What is it? Just salt, little pepper, and you're done. What's what? Just. That's it. Noodles.

[C]

Salt.

[A]

Salt noodles. You can pour on the prego. And some olive oil and some. Some garlic. That's ridiculous. That's in the sauce.

[C]

What are you doing? You're offending him.

[A]

I'm trying to get him to admit it. He's had it. You've poured the. The sticks into the hot water. What? Out of a box. Oh, yeah. Everybody has. Of course.

[C]

Yeah, I admit that.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. That pure. Do I do it regularly? No, no. Nobody does it regularly. I used to love that.

[C]

Is there certain that you'll buy on those spaghetti? What is it that.

[A]

The Barelli. That's all right. Yeah. I don't care. It all tastes the same.

[B]

You don't go to the Falco's and get the stuff that's actually out of the box.

[A]

Nah, I'll just make it myself. It all tastes the same to me. And I have a theory. I have a theory that most Italians couldn't tell mama's gravy from the Rouse or the Prego.

[B]

You're gonna have to do that.

[A]

We have to eventually have to do.

[B]

The Pepsi challenge with sauce.

[A]

I think if you couldn't hear me going, I could open up one of those Chef Boyards and mix it up. You'd be like, it's not as good.

[B]

As this, but come on, you know that.

[A]

I know Chef Boyardee because that just tastes like watery cat.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

I'd eat it, though.

[C]

Would you?

[A]

I don't care. I'm. Oh, no. Not like, if I was starving, that wouldn't be something I'd turn away. If I was starving and it was just coconut, I'd starve to death. If it was just nothing but Chef Boyardee, I'd choke that down. It's not so bad. You ever eat a Stouffer's lasagna? Sure I did when I was a kid or something. I like those French bread pizzas. Oh, those things. Just saying his Italian thing.

[C]

But you could tell a Stouffer's lasagna, good.

[A]

I just.

[C]

So if you. So if you pulled out.

[A]

If you go to cereal and had the lasagna back when that was still there and pull out the Stouffers, you couldn't tell you're talking about cereal. Exactly. Cereal is different because I'm not spending 300 on a plate of mama's gravy, but cereal let me know. This is special. Well, that's like, perhaps the next day, I just text him. The next morning, I'm like, my feces that just came out of me smells as good as it went in. It smelled like, my God. Cereal comes out, and it makes your poop smell like Italian food. Not. There was no bile or human waste. Nope. You put that on a plate ready to go again, and just put a blind man in there and said, here's some lasagna. He'd be like, oh, that smells so good. It was amazing. So, yeah, cereal, Come on. That's not a fair comparison, but 90% of people eating prego and boxed noodles, you're not going to know. I could tell you mama made it. You'd be like, oh, not bad. This guy says, Brett knows what's up. Rouse is the best if you're in a pinch. Also, every real Italian can Tell the difference between any sauce instantly. This is where I think you Italians get into trouble. The word instantly always gets tossed in there. There's a noticeable difference in the jarred BS and the real effing guinea stuff. Signed Taylor. I don't. I think you guys just overshoot your mark.

[B]

Taylor. Shouldn't that come from like an Antonio or something?

[A]

Nobody named Taylor. Short for Antonio.

[C]

Taylor's not enough relocation name.

[A]

Yeah, that's true. That could be true. By the way, I'm Taylor Johansson and I've had it with you non stop. Talk about ragu. I just think you Italians get mouthy real fast. His real name's Vinnie Passini or something.

[C]

He's from the Bronx.

[A]

That's it. I'm firing off. I go by Taylor now. How you doing? My name's Taylor.

[C]

That's it.

[A]

My son Braden, and my daughter Hannah. Now I go by Taylor. Yeah. Come on.

[C]

U.S. news & World Report put out its annual list of the healthiest.

[A]

Diets. Where was.

[C]

Yours? Not on the.

[D]

List.

[A]

No. No kidding. The Brady.

[C]

Diet. Number one was the Mediterranean Diary Diet. Limit sweets, processed foods and red meat. Too many hours, lots of fruits, veggies, too many.

[B]

Olives. You like.

[C]

Olives?

[A]

Yeah. Of course he does. Tastes them.

[C]

Constantly. Had to ask the.

[A]

Redundant. His blood tastes like olives. Got olive oil coming on my sweats.

[C]

Evoo. The Dash diet is designed to lower blood pressure. Stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The Flexitarian.

[B]

Diet. Never heard of.

[C]

It. You're mostly a vegetarian, but sometimes eat.

[A]

Meat. And you're not. Yeah, it's dumb. Get up and take a walk. That's like the pan genders and stuff. Like you're not really a.

[C]

Thing. You just like.

[A]

Sex. Making up.

[C]

Words. The Mayo Clinic Diet, a three month program for weight loss. You eat balanced meals with smaller portions and can't eat while watching tv, so you eat.

[A]

Right. So you just eat a normal diet and you don't overindulge and you get up and move around every once in a while. You eat in front of the kitchen. In the kitchen stuff in front of the tv. Instead of breaking out the bag of Tate's cookies and sitting there and binging the squid games. Which, by the way, are.

[B]

Awesome. John.

[A]

Don'T. Oh, it's so good. The new season is so.

[C]

Good. And if you're not on one of those diets right now, you might be upset at Chick Fil a because a lot of they're catching some flack for changing their waffle fries to what? They put a pea starch on the frying process. And people claim they can tell the difference. It's to make them crispier.

[B]

Because.

[A]

What? That's just because they were.

[C]

Old?

[A]

Yeah. Come.

[C]

On. Yeah. The rumor was last summer that they're ditching their waffle fries.

[A]

Completely. By the way, you don't have that strong a palate if you're eating a Chick fil a in the first place. To discern whether or not it was fried in pea starch. So Brett's right. That was power suggestion. So I can taste the pea starch. No, you can't. You don't even know pea starch. Yeah, you just learned that phrase. You just don't want peas in your body. You just want French fries the old fashioned way. Wait a minute. They're mixing in peas with my fries.

[C]

Bruh. A survey of 4,000 people using the dating app Bumble showed what the most popular fetishes are for these people.

[A]

For the couples that were interviewed, and for people on.

[C]

Bumble. On Bumble. According to the Bumble.

[A]

Survey. Okay, so people. I didn't know you put a fetish on it. Like, they ask you what a fetish is. Like, it's because they do, like, hobbies and stuff like that. So it's your personal profile. The fetishes that came up the.

[C]

Most. The number one.

[A]

Kink. Feet.

[C]

Feet. Role playing. But number two was this year was open air on a balcony. Getting.

[A]

Busy. Oh, just sex.

[C]

Outside. Yeah. The third.

[A]

Fetish. No, I was just gonna say that's not a fetish. Unless you have to do it every time. Or if you like to watch it more than you like to do.

[C]

It. The third was having sex while playing video.

[A]

Games. Okay, that's becoming a big thing on pornhub. The stepsister comes in and you're playing video games and she's going to.

[C]

Work waking each other up with.

[A]

Oral. Not a fetish. That's just a gift. So putting it under that get from your.

[C]

God. I think they say Gen Z appears to be slightly tamer than on their approach to.

[A]

Sex. Yeah, because they're lame. Or that. I guess Brett kind of has a.

[C]

Point. More direct. When quizzed on their favorite sexual activities. Cuddling took the top.

[A]

Spot. Brett was right. They told.

[C]

You. Including at home Spa Pamper days for the boys. Hanging in a hotel bathtub. Hanging with a tremendous view. What the hell is this world coming? Sex in the.

[A]

[B]

Aids.

[A]

Huh. Sexually, they can lose weight with an.

Devil. Vegan?

[A]

Yes. In Brady's mind, vegans are the devil. Was there interchangeable words? Is diablo and.

[C]

Vegan. He's worked there for over 10 years. Well, last week during the night of spinning, he felt like a £500 man punched him in the back. Turns around it was one of his.

Lung. Oh.

[C]

For? They're trying to figure that out. You know, she said I went insane and that's what she's going for. Yeah, mental.

[A]

Insanity. But why? And why.

[B]

Him? If she has the clarity to claim mental insanity? Is she really.

[A]

That? Well, yes, if she can say it first. But we already knew that when you shoved a knife into a guy's back and had no reason. By the way, you're getting props online, Brady, for not doing a Ho Ho Ho's joke for Santa saving the firehouse. We were all waiting for it. Yeah, everybody was on pins and needles. Dammit, I missed it. You're still reading the last story, trying to find answers, aren't.

[A]

Club? Yeah. Who's testing.

Stripper. I'm.

Stages. There's a 64 year old grandmother in Massachusetts. Her name's Roxette Doucette. Roxanne Doucette. And she tried to poison her husband because she had a new man in her life and it was a soap opera star, Thorsten K. From the Bold and Beautiful.

[A]

Thorsten. Thorsten K. Apparently feeling she was.

[C]

Fascinated some scammer was texting Roxanne, pretending to be Thorsten. She believed it was real, partially because she was a die hard fan of the Bold and Beautiful. One message from Thorsten Said you have to get rid of your husband. Honey, I need you so.

[A]

Much. There we.

[C]

Go. Roxanne said she needed to do something. That's when she hatched a plan. Making an amazing.

[C]

Does. It does, but it says the real Thorsten K. Hasn't.

[A]

Commented. But it's easy to look up. Will you look that up? Right. If it's Thorsten K as a character or an actor's name, no one watches the Bold and the Beautiful. Here's Thorsten. So that's Thorsten K. That's a real guy. Okay, so he's a German British actor. The character's name can't be better than Thorsten K. What is his. What is his name on Bold and Beautiful? Look at.

[A]

Wow. So I don't know what's a better.

[C]

Name. That's a good porn.

[A]

Name. Ridge Forester. Well, porn name would be Edge Forester. Yeah, because edging is awesome. Look it up. Thorsten K. Or Ridge Forester. Both better names than I'll ever have.

[C]

Ever. Still not.

[A]

Christopher. Fantastic.

[C]

Christopher.

[A]

Fantastic. It's just so Broadway though. Doesn't it sound Almost feather boa. Christopher Fantastic should be doing middays at kdkb. It's time for another Christopher Fantastic traffic.

[C]

Check. Two brothers in Wasilla, Alaska, got arrested Wednesday night after a heated argument involving an alligator and a crocodile. Ricky Lowe and his brother Tyler Lowe gotten a shoving match while arguing about an anime cartoon. That's what adult brothers do. Sure. They're 33 and.

[A]

30. Anime's not for.

[C]

Kids. Things really escalated when Tyler grabbed Ricky's pet alligator and threw it out in the snow. Then Ricky retaliated by grabbing Tyler's pet crocodile. Threw it outside.

[A]

Too. This was all living in the same.

[C]

Trailer. 30.

[A]

Degrees. My God. They had a croc and an alligator.

[C]

Together. It happened in an apartment. It's not clear where they both live. One of them brought their reptile over for a hang.

[A]

Session. It was a play date between the reptiles. Do crocodiles and alligators get.

[C]

Along? They can hang.

[A]

Out. Can.

[C]

They?

[A]

Yeah. How come they.

[C]

Don'T? You want to make sure they're the same size, though. Smaller one, if it's too.

[A]

Small. He's making this up. He is. You don't know. Oh, yeah, you.

[C]

Do.

[A]

Yeah. You know, if alligators and.

[C]

Crocodiles.

[A]

Sure. Play date, why not on a play.

[C]

Date? I mean. Oh, no. You. You asked if they can hang out. They can hang out on a play date. Yeah. Listen to.

[A]

Me. I try it, all.

[C]

Right? Gotta make sure they're equally yolked. The same. And how do you do.

[B]

That? Do you have a meet up at a park.

[C]

Somewhere? Yeah. How big's your gator? A six footer. All right, well, I don't.

[A]

Mind. They're meant to be.

[C]

Together. They.

[A]

Cohabitate. They live in different.

[C]

Places. There's been crossovers. There's now.

[A]

Crocodiles. And that's because of people like.

[B]

You version of the.

[C]

Alligator. No, I'm just saying people have let go, you know, you said there's crossovers.

[A]

Though. So you think there's a crocogator out.

[C]

There? Oh, no, not a cross. I mean, it's a crossover. In other words, they. They have. They're living together now in certain areas that they weren't.

[A]

There. It isn't the loving trial. It's not like some sort of a, you know.

[C]

Interracial. Bigger ones will eat a smaller one, and. That's true. And where did they live? In the same. There's a chance of that.

[A]

Happening. I didn't think they lived in the. I thought crocodiles were kind of unique to a certain part of the earth and gators were.

[C]

Unique. There's crocs in in Florida now.

[A]

Too. Right. Because humans did that. But are they hanging out together? That's the point. I don't know. But you're saying that you do know for sure as long as they're.

[C]

The same size on a bank that they might be.

[B]

Selling. The first suggestion when you type.

[A]

In Florida crocodiles and it says they can hear.

[C]

Us. That's.

[A]

True. And as Brady's answer, sure, if they're the same size. But you don't want to get a bigger one over a little one. I'm with you, Brett. I'm making the same face Brett's.

[C]

Making. Brett, I know you're worried about the alligator and the.

[A]

Crocodile.

[C]

Ricky. Ricky scooped up his two year old kid and got the croc and got out of.

[A]

There.

[C]

Yeah. But Tyler was slurring his words. Alcohol was.

[A]

Involved. You want your two year old kid and an alligator. Yeah. His alligator's.

[C]

Dead. It's the other way around. The alligator is okay. The crocodile they never.

[A]

Found. Oh.

[C]

Boy. So it's in the snow somewhere. But there is.

[A]

Potential. Somebody picked it.

[C]

Up.

[A]

Yeah. I just found. You're not going to believe this, but I.

[C]

Do. Reptiles have the ability to go into a hibernation like state. It's called brumation in cold weather. So maybe the croc dropped down into that. It's not looking.

[A]

Good. But that would mean you could find.

[C]

It. Hey, you think so? Unless. Unless it dripped down in the snow so much where he threw it.

[A]

Out there that it doesn't disappear when it's hibernating. That went into hibernation. So we won't see it's not a bear.

[C]

Alligators. Yeah. And it doesn't. I mean it could have scooted through a little bit and. And hid in.

[A]

What? Just keep going. Keep.

[C]

Digging. That's a great one. Could have built a little igloo. Who built.

[A]

It? Brady in this that you're Danny Croc. Let me ask you this. As you're picturing all this is the crocodile that you're imagining in a tuxedo by chance? Because I think you might have seen this in a cartoon one. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Or it's a.

[A]

Fedora. Whatever he's.

[B]

Wearing. Alligators and crocodiles most certainly do not get along very well. They do not.

[C]

Coexist.

[A]

Yeah. I think they're in different parts of the world for a reason. Brady's brother stuck them in different.

[B]

Areas. There is. But it says here also it says the Florida Everglades is indeed a unique location where both alligators and.

[A]

Crocodiles. Because people chuck them in live.

[B]

But they don't get along.

[A]

Together. Okay, a bad idea. Contrary to.

[B]

Brady's. Now, it doesn't say anything about igloo right.

[A]

Now. Who knows? We're going to leave you on that one. You can have that. But according to the interwebs, Grady's incredibly terrible advice between a crocodile and.

[C]

Gator. That they coexist. They do coexist. The same.

[A]

Area. What are those? Chocodiles. We got to get Brady. This.

[C]

One?

[A]

Yeah. Chocodiles exist, Brady. With alligators. So you just made all that.

[C]

Up? No, that they're living in the same area. There's crocodiles.

[A]

Alligators. We knew that. That's.

[C]

Possible. But making the.

[A]

Igloo. You said as advice. We also knew the ig. Look, Brady, we're real good at knowing when it's bulls. The igloo is clear. Don't us. You spent 10 minutes telling us that it's not a bad idea so long as they're the same size to put them.

[B]

Together. You just got yourself out of.

[A]

The rah rah room for no.

[C]

Reason. Make sure you have the same.

[A]

Size. And the Internet says, just don't keep them anywhere near each other. Where's your.

[C]

Information? Well, evidently these brothers hadn't hanging sesh with their pets.

[A]

Before. You don't know the.

[C]

Situation. Yeah, but you didn't inform the.

[A]

Brothers. And that's your backup. That's your story. You're sticking with. Well, if these guys in Florida departments can do it, then I say if they're the same size. You believed that? Based on what? Is what I'm asking. Absolutely nothing. And you dug.

[C]

In? Yeah. I don't think this is the first time their croc alligator hung out with.

[A]

Us. Nobody asked you that. All we said was, do they get along? Sure, they're the same size. Evidently.

[C]

Not.

[A]

True. They don't get along. They don't want to be anywhere near each.

[C]

Other. I've seen him get.

[A]

Along. And I ask again. Where? I said, where have you seen this? You said there were.

[C]

Crossovers. Zeus, you have not seen.

[A]

Them. Let's get Christy on the phone. What kind of irresponsible zoo's sticking.

[C]

Them in the same Caymans.

[A]

Crocodiles? I don't know what that.

[C]

Is. And then Gator Chris on Instagram.

[A]

He'S got a rescue of crocodiles and alligators that coexist that I can't confirm. Well, please stop. Stop saying you.

[C]

Can. Then he works with both. Yeah, he.

[A]

Probably. Gator.

[C]

Chris. I think that's his.

[A]

Name. This guy says. Shut up, Brady. There is an alligator farm in Louisiana that has a crocodile. And they keep it separate because it eats the alligators, constantly attacks.

[C]

Them. An adult alligator will eat the the young all the time too. So babies, humans together, they don't get along? No. Eat the baby.

[A]

Alligators. Why would they be together? Is my point. Their father, a.

[C]

Croc. They're the father of a.

[A]

Crocodile. Is the father of an alligator. I'm not talking.

[C]

Anyway. No, no, no. I'm saying the alligators will pray on their.

[A]

Own. Okay, well, then how are there ever any.

[C]

Alligators? Eventually they have to get along.

[B]

Eventually. What do they.

[A]

Know? This, what you're saying is, in the gator world, eventually, cooler heads must they work it out. Like, in order to keep the species alive, we've got to stop eating the.

[C]

Babies. It's just down to you and.

[A]

Me acting like a bunch of crocodiles over here. And we know how much we hate them. Okay, is that a croc or an alligator? I don't.

[C]

Know. I have no.

[A]

Idea. That's a crocodile, I think. Brady. What is it? Got a bigger nose, right? Crocodiles have big noses and alligators are pointy ones or no other way.

[C]

Around. Well, usually that's alligator. That's a.

[A]

Gator. That's a gator. I'm not interested in this anymore. I've heard too many.

[C]

Lies. He rescues them.

[A]

Okay? I don't care. You pick up absolutely no information from me. Digs his heels in on this.

[C]

Stuff. We've got this dude in.

[A]

Thailand. We got a.

[C]

Picture. He fell 40ft down an abandoned well last month. He started screaming for help. No one came. The well is in a remote.

[A]

Forest. This is what you're.

[C]

Picking? Yeah, there it.

[A]

Is. I believe those are two gators. And they just evidently got done eating a ton of baby gators, trying to destroy the entire species they love. They're wearing cowboy hats. So, you know, this is Brady's science now. Oh, God. Arizona's most powerful rock radio station. He said fully erect. It's John Holmer here from the morning sickness. And it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of My Home Group and doughotkins.com. have you ever thought to yourself, I'm gonna sell my house? Of course you have.

What if I could say, you can sell that house the day after you say the words, I want to sell my house. Doug's been at this for over 25 years, and that's why he's still on top of the Hill. TVs Doug Hopkins can handle everything. Won't move the price or you get $5,000. What do you do? Start the process right now@doug hopkins.com or grab the phone and.
