Summary

Podcast Summary: Holmberg's Morning Sickness – “Can You Rekindle Love If She’s Now Obsessed With Country Music?”

Date: December 24, 2025
Host: John Holmberg with Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, and Dick Toledo
Episode Context: Responding to a listener email about reconnecting with an old flame who’s had a major lifestyle change—she’s now really into country music.

---

Episode Overview

This episode centers around an email from a listener (Kelly) who’s rekindling a relationship with a woman he dated five years ago. The dilemma: She’s become deeply immersed in country music—something that dramatically clashes with Kelly (and the hosts’) musical sensibilities. The question is, can the relationship still work, or is her new country music obsession a dealbreaker?

In their signature irreverent, satirical style, Holmberg and the crew debate whether major lifestyle shifts—like adopting an all-in country identity—are insurmountable, riffing on music, culture, and the “red flags” that come with such changes.

---

Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. Listener Email: Rekindled Romance and Brooks & Dunn (00:43–02:17)

• Kelly's Dilemma:
  Kelly emails the show, sharing his excitement about reconnecting with a past love. The problem? She's moved back, seems the same, but "the last picture she sent me, she had a Brooks and Dunn T-shirt on."

  • John Holmberg: “That’s not the same girl that left you five years ago.” (01:41)

• The team immediately pounces on the idea that identifying so heavily with country music is a huge personality shift.

---

2. Is Country Music a Dealbreaker? (02:17–07:24)

• Mockery & Sarcasm:
  The hosts riff on country music fans, drawing (intentionally hyperbolic and provocative) parallels between a deep country identity and a lack of intelligence or sophistication.

  • Holmberg: "I'm pretty sure that's why Country Thunder exists." (02:12)
  • Brady: “She’s probably hot, though.” (02:01)

• Dating & Music Tastes:
  The group debates whether dating someone with vastly different tastes—especially those who go “all-in” with the boots, the shirts, the bar dances—is plausible.

  • Holmberg: “If she's in a Brooks and Dunn T-shirt... It's over.” (02:19)
  • Bret: “I’d hit it again. Oh, yeah.” (03:03)
  • Holmberg: “You would never go to special ed as a normal and try to peel one up. That's the same thing.” (02:25–02:35)

• Laughter Over Stereotypes:
  The banter highlights stereotypes, using hyperbole for comedic effect, but circling back to the idea that a dramatic change in interests could signal a loss of compatibility.

---

3. How Much Should You Overlook for Love/Lust? (07:24–11:12)

• Physical Attraction vs. Compatibility:
  The crew wonders if it’s possible to be physically attracted to someone with such different tastes.

  • Brady: “Look at the broads that go to the country”… “Great cans and a great, you know…” (03:06)
  • Holmberg: “Can you keep a heart on if she's like, turn the radio on? ... You're not getting hard with this going on in the background.” (03:36, 03:46)

• Hypotheticals:
  They throw out scenarios (If Dua Lipa, Margot Robbie…) to see where their limits are:

  • Holmberg: “If Margot Robbie walked in, said put on some Luke Bryan – no problem.” (04:15)
  • Reality: They keep coming back to the idea that this is more than just about music—it’s a sign of a total personality or identity overhaul.

---

4. When a New Identity Becomes a Lifestyle (12:40–16:40)

• Costume vs. Personality:
  The gang laments when people “dress up” for genres—comparing cowboy attire or dressing for music to costumes.

  • Holmberg: “He started wearing a costume. What are you doing? You're in public... Why are you dressing the part? You're not going on stage.” (12:40)

• Anecdotes:
  Stories about family members suddenly donning cowboy gear or adopting country music as a costume for life.

  • Brady: “My dad went through a phase... He would go to Sabers and get the vest, cowboy hat...” (15:08)

• Dealbreakers:
  For Holmberg, when someone adopts a new “lifestyle” wholesale (“Brooks and Dunn T-shirt, Luke Bryan on the stereo”), it’s a sign they’re no longer the same person—and the rekindling is futile.

  • Quote: “She’s a different person now. You lost her. You lost your angel.” (16:22)

---

5. The Country Music Roast – Songs, Characters, Stereotypes (18:18–30:50)

• Satirical Breakdown of Country Music:
  The team plays and mercilessly mocks country novelty songs (“Copenhagen” and its sequels, “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy”), using them as evidence of the genre’s alleged “brain damage.”

  • Holmberg: “Country music people are head trauma victims... It’s not a phase, Brady. It's an illness.” (06:17)
  • Holmberg: After hearing “Copenhagen” – “That’s not real. That isn’t a real thing. People bought that.” (18:43)
  • On the trilogy: “Oh, yeah, it is. It's the... Ward Gotti trilogy in boxing. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened.” (24:04)

• Humor with a Point:
  Even as jokes fly about “mentally challenged” fans, the undercurrent is about incompatibility: if your partner’s entire personality and interests have changed, you’re not matched anymore.

---

6. Is It Ever “Just a Phase”? (06:13–06:38; 32:45–33:24)

• Trying to Rationalize:
  Brady tries to argue it “could be just a phase” (06:13), but Holmberg strongly rejects this: “It’s not a phase, Brady. It’s an illness... It's not curable.” (06:17)
  • The group applies the same lack of nuance to fans who dress as “Juggalos” or KISS fans who wear makeup all the time—not just at shows.
  • Holmberg: “If you wear the Juggalos... paint up and go to Denny’s, you’re nuts.” (33:24)

---

7. Would You Still Go on the Date? Different Perspectives (31:57–32:44)

• Meet Her Anyway?
  Brady insists: “Just out of curiosity again. Sure. I want to see it.” (31:57)

  • Holmberg: “I go to lunch with her... see if she gets that disabled person's discount. She's an idiot.” (32:06)

• Falling for Looks vs. The "New" Person:
  The panel concludes: seeing the woman again might be worth it out of curiosity or nostalgia, but realistically, her new lifestyle is a dealbreaker.

  • “The memories of her are much better than what's coming your way. Ugh, so sad.” (30:52)

---

8. Drawing Parallels: Sports Fans, Cosplay, and The Nature of Fandom (36:32–38:22)

• Analogy:
  Comparing someone dressing up in cowboy gear for no reason to a sports fan wearing full game attire on a non-game day or someone cosplaying as Captain Hook to Best Buy.
  • Holmberg: “If I leave the house to go to dinner with the helmet on, suddenly I'm special.” (37:48)
  • Brady: “But a t-shirt is not... to that.” (34:28)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “That’s not the same girl that left you five years ago.” – John Holmberg (01:41)
• “If she's in a Brooks and Dunn T-shirt. It's too far. Brady. It's over. It's over.” – John Holmberg (02:19)
• “You would never go to special ed as a normal and try to peel one up. That's the same thing. You can't. I'm sorry.” – John Holmberg (02:25)
• “If she's into country music to where she's wearing Brooks and Dunn's T-shirts and that's what she's representing herself with in photos... I'd hit it again. You would? Oh yeah.” – (02:25–03:03)
• “Country music people are head trauma victims.” – Holmberg (09:19)
• “It's not a phase, Brady. It's an illness... It's not curable.” – Holmberg (06:17)
• “People shouldn't be allowed on the freeways. We should build special roads for them. They're not human.” – John Holmberg (24:56)

Overall Tone & Takeaways

• Tone:
  Highly irreverent, comedic, often purposefully offensive in a satirical way. The hosts lean into exaggeration for laughs but circle back to real relationship advice: sometimes, a changed lifestyle or “personality reinvention” is a genuine dealbreaker, no matter how good the nostalgia.

• Advice for Kelly:
  The show’s consensus, joking aside: Kelly’s “old flame” is likely now incompatible. Physical chemistry may spark out of curiosity or nostalgia, but her full country lifestyle (music, image, cultural markers) signals she’s not the same person. Let the memories stay golden.

• Broader Insight:
  Sometimes, what seems like "just different musical tastes" are outward signs of a deeper change. Rekindling love means falling for the person you knew—not someone who’s gone down a very different road.

Summary for Those Who Haven’t Listened:
This episode is a hilarious—but bitingly harsh—takedown of the idea that you can easily restart a romance when someone’s entire identity has shifted. Holmberg, Brady, Bret, and Toledo mock and satirize country music fandom to make the point: if your ex is now “Brooks and Dunn-level country,” you probably don’t still love the same person. The panel suggests it’s best to leave the romance in the past, let the curiosity fade, and recognize that shared lifestyle—and not just shared history—is key to rekindling love.

A guy emailed me today. He says, hey, Holmberg, I just rekindled a relationship with a girl I was with five years ago. Always had the sparks. It worked. But we had to separate because of the distance we lived. That means they live far apart. She's someone who makes my knees buckle. She reached out to me a couple weeks ago and we found that we still just melt each other. She's moved back. We got to talking. We're gonna meet today. The last thing she talked about was how into country music she is now. A lot. The last picture she sent me, she had a Brooks and Dunn T shirt on. What do I do? Kelly. Kelly. That's not the same girl that left you five years ago.

[A]

She's probably hot though.

[D]

No.

[A]

Just dumb.

[D]

She's retarded.

[A]

Well, yeah.

[D]

I think it's illegal to date her. I don't think you can date those people if you're normal. I think you have to be one to date one. And I'm pretty sure that's why Country Thunder exists.

[E]

I have to find out how.

[D]

If she's in a Brooks and Dunn T shirt. It's too far. Brady. It's over. It's over.

[E]

Jumped into it.

[D]

She's. She's one of them. And you don't want in. That, that is, you would never go to special ad as a normal and try to peel one up. That's the same thing. You can't. I'm sorry. God, I hate to. I hate to kill love, but if she's into country music to where she's wearing Brooks and Dunn's T shirts and that's what she's representing herself with in photos of. Here's what I look like now. It's been five years. What do you look like? Here's what. I haven't gained weight or anything. Here's me today and it's a Brooks and Dunn T shirt. And then you asked what's with the Brooks and Dunn T shir. Oh, my God, I love country music now. I'd hit it again. You would? Oh, yeah.

[A]

Look at. Look at the broads that go to the country.

[D]

Oh, I know there's some good looking ones, but they're. He's in love, though. He's got the knee buckles and you don't want to love one. You'll go to jail for that. Brett, you're not allowed to love them. That's illegal. People who are mentally challenged, us normals, can't go banging them. That's taking advantage of somebody who's not altogether. There's.

[E]

I love. You know, how high of a priority is it for him?

[D]

Guys, you're. You're missing the point.

[A]

I love great cans and a great, you know, I mean, chicken. A pair of them Rocky pants.

[D]

Can you keep a heart on if she's like, turn the radio on. All right, Alexa, turn her radio on. Getting that fish.

[B]

I'm in.

[A]

I'm not.

[D]

I can still deal with you. Look, you're not getting hard with this going on in the background. You have a hard enough problem as it is. You're of age, your blood help.

[E]

But I'll fight it.

[D]

You might as well use a fish. It's going to be harder.

[A]

What if DUA was in the country music?

[D]

I was like, john, look, get it. Everybody always throws the DUA at me. No.

[A]

Now, if. If, If Margot Robbie walked in, said.

[D]

Put on some Luke Bryant, I'm no problem. Here you go.

[A]

I'm in.

[D]

I'm not taking that risk that protective services show up and say, what did you do to this mentally challenged lady?

[A]

Chance it.

[D]

Not doing it as long as the.

[E]

Rock thing is in that mix. Because there's a couple of things that.

[D]

Brady, you go yourself. You're cruising to get fired right now. You start defending this country music thing. It's the worst. And the people who listen to it aren't smart. They're dumb and hot and easy. No, they're not.

[A]

Because they're dumb.

[D]

Right.

[B]

There you go.

[A]

You just made my point.

[D]

No.

[A]

Easy.

[D]

And dumb sore, mentally challenged people. And you wouldn't dare.

[F]

Wrong.

[D]

They're just in better bodies.

[E]

You're wrong.

[D]

No, I'm not.

[E]

They're way more stronger.

[D]

That's a red flag. Well, that's good English right there. Thank you.

[A]

Way more.

[E]

Yeah. Way more.

[D]

Maybe Brady shouldn't have sex with a normal either. Country music probably appeals to you. Way more stronger. You can try to bang the country out of her, but she likes it, too. But no. I'm sorry, Kelly.

[E]

No.

[A]

What if. What if DUA pulls a Beyonce and comes out with a country album?

[D]

I realized that she's. Well, that's different because I understand why Beyonce did it. She looked around and she went, there's like a billion of these mentally challenged people that'll suck this album. I'm going to make a fortune off of them. She manipulated them and their money. It's wrong. But it's not like what Pearl in Paradise did. Stealing right from one in a parking lot when she. A couple of years ago at the fries when they took the bagger's wallet. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

You don't. You don't physically manhandle the mentally challenged. And I'm sorry. That's what it is. She's in a Brooks and Dunn T shirt. It's not that hot. It just. It show. It just might as well have a. She might as well wear a shirt that says IQ48. It's just not something. Oh, geez, that's sad. I'm just. I'm just. Put a helmet back on her and send her on her way. And tell the government helper that she's probably required to be with. She has to go home.

[E]

Could be a phase. You can break that face.

[D]

It's not a phase, Brady. It's an illness. It's like telling somebody with down syndrome. It's a phase. It's not curable. It's not. Once it's in there, it stays. It's bad. Bad. And she's Brooks and Dunnan. That's not new stuff. She's diving into this. She's diving. Not old. It's right when it all started going R word.

[E]

Anyway.

[D]

You could. You could take my advice. You can take these two. It's good boogie. You have that pulled up good. Don't. The boot scootin boogie Way down yonder in the chatter Hoochie. It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie. No, that's a mentally challenged Person singing to other mentally challenged people, Let them live amongst themselves. Do not cross pollinate. Hey, you're pretty. You're sweet. Let's do baby makers. Let's do that.

[E]

Shorts, cowboy boots.

[D]

Tell you what, I don't know if it's the air, the music, or the Kurz light, but I want to slap bellies with you. Hey, you're the most romantic man I've ever. I'mma peel off my Brooks and Dunn T shirt and show you where my baby feeders are. Looks like you get a couple kids. That left nipple's about the size of a number two pencil. Should have Dixon Ty kind of rogue written on the side of it. I don't care who you are. That's funny right there. Who you are. Who sing Boots Coop boogie. Who sing it? That's Brooks and Dunn. Brooks and Dunn, that's who she's shirt wearing. Oh, this is just intolerable brain. Brain cells go to town and birds and scootin boogie. It's a deal breaker if a bar plays it. I'm like, let's go, we're up. What? No, because somebody's gonna get up and start doing that thing with their hand on their hips and they start the white people's slowest dance ever. Diddle deetle bird, digger bird diggle bird birdle dee dee doo all right, bandits, let's go. Way down yonder on the ch Hoochie it gets hotter than a hoochie coochie we laid rubber on the dear Never passed a test don't know math can't read a note if you pass it to me twice Dumb people like that. If you want to live in that world, go ahead, start banging all the R words you want, but I consider you a criminal. Those people are stupid and taking advantage of them. Just because they don't live in a Down syndrome body doesn't mean they don't have it.

[A]

Donovan once asked that guy, how long did it take her to relearn to walk her for that horrible head injury she had?

[D]

Donovan is right. You are taking it. Look, brain damage is a terrible thing. And there's certain aspects of people who stay with someone who's brain damaged. That's beautiful. If they were married to him and something horrible happens and then you. Then the brain like mine goes, boy, I wonder if they still have sex with them. Because that would be wrong. Like, you get somebody who's got a massive head trauma and is like, that's my wife. Like, oh, his wife got smashed in the head by an I beam Walking through a construction site. She's all goofed up. He's staying with her. Oh, that's beautiful. People will say, oh, that's beautiful. That's love that won't die. And every once in a while, smacks her in the face, dries the drool off and rolls her over and does his business. And that's wrong. I got needs. Bab. Roll over, please. I can't look at it. The dent in the back of her head. He's got to stare at that the whole time. If he pulls her hair at all, the prosthetic where her skull has been replaced kind of bubbles. It's wrong. Country music people are head trauma victims. So, Kelly, you go ahead. You go ahead and bang away on that. You're going to be in trouble. I don't know what you're smiling at. What's this one? Save a horse, ride a cowboy. Oh, yeah. I don't know. I don't know what's going on around here, but you sure are pretty. I have down syndrome. I know. You're the smartest lady I've ever met. I'm thinking about getting my band back together. Dude, this song is a cover. I like covers. I like when I'm cold, I wear covers.

[E]

That's right.

[D]

Got covered up.

[E]

Dale just texted.

[D]

Keep the country going. Best show ever. I rest my case. It should be illegal to have sex with Dale. Hell, straight. I've changed my mind now. Yeah. I don't even think Dale's married. I think his wife is a caretaker that he just thinks is a wife. Ugh. Whatever. I know. Save a horse. Oh, cowboy. You should save my horse. Uh oh. I just. I believe. I just. I pants. We should move to Nashville and I'm become a superstar.

[E]

He goes there, he meets her. There she is.

[D]

Yeah. What do you chew? I'm into these new Zen's, but I think they're kind of gay. Yeah, it's. They're mentally challenged to listen. All right, I've made my case. Go ahead, Kelly. And prediction Won't be but a week before Kelly emails back and goes, she's too into it. When people swap out lifestyles, you gotta find out. No, it's immediate. I had my friend Kurt, he's a normal dude, suddenly started to show up in cowboy hats. In the costume. My dad did it. He started wearing a costume. What are you doing? You're in public. I'm like, I like country music. Now I gotta wear the. Why are you dressing the part? You're not going on stage.

[E]

Is he still Wearing it.

[D]

Ye. Well, he lives in Texas now. It's even. It's even worse. Although through my ridicule, he normalizes amongst the people. So he'll come to my house. He's not gonna wear any of that nonsense. Brush popper. And the worst part is my dad looks like John Wayne. Like, he used to have a cardboard cut out of John Wayne in his cabin. And I'd walk in on occasionally, like Jesus, because it looks like him. And I didn't realize that until I saw this. And I'm like, that looks a lot like. And the worst thing you can tell my dad is, you know, with a cowboy hat on, you look just like John Wayne. He'll run and grab a cowboy hat. Merry effing holidays from the Big Red Radio.

[A]

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?

[F]

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

[A]

Okay, but what if he lives out of state?

[F]

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

[A]

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

[D]

Hey, it's John Holmberg from the morning sickness. When my beloved dog Dutchy started to slow down, I knew in my heart the time was going to come. That's when I reached out to Happy Endings in Home pet euthanasia. Once Dr. Fixler got to my house, he explained every step, answered all the questions, and created a peaceful, loving atmosphere. Right there. We were able to hold Dutchy on her favorite blanket. Happy Endings made it as peaceful and dignified as the moment could be. If your furry companion is getting close to that time, whether it's a dog or a cat, and you want the comfort of home, the compassion of professionals, and the dignity your pet deserves, call Happy Endings. Visit online Happy Endings euthanasia.com because every pet's life should have a happy ending. Holmberg's morning sickness. My dad went through a phase of liking Jimmy Buffett. I think he might have been like, he thought I was gay.

[A]

Jimmy Buffett.

[E]

There's no excuse.

[D]

Buffett and then country music. I don't Remember him? Have you checked out lately? I mean. Well, we've. Yeah, we've talked about dementia and Alzheimer's because there's definitely a brain trauma going on there. He remembers all the words, but he knows better. We go to dinner and stuff. He dresses like a human being. He doesn't show up in dusters or anything weird. Torp went through a. Yeah, well, we were that close, Brett. It got to the point where I go to his house, and he's in full gear, like this giant coat, the thing I wore for Halloween. He'd looked at that and go, where'd you get that? Yeah. Oh, there was a tie.

[E]

My dad went through a phase. I mean, he didn't like the. I mean, it wasn't in the country music, but for some reason, it. Maybe it was the John Wayne factor. He would go to, you know, let's go to Rod's Western palace or what.

[D]

Was the big Sabers.

[E]

Sabers. And he would get the vest, a.

[D]

Cowboy hat, and he started to toy with the idea that he had an alter ego. It's almost like dressing up like Batman. It's a costume. Country music that is a deal breaker for me, especially if you're trying to rekindle what you remembered. If you go back in time, like, my God, she was the love of my life, like, just a few years ago. And we didn't break up because we didn't get along. We broke up because she had to live in, like, Tulsa, and I had to live in Oregon. Couldn't make it work, so we just went our separate ways. It's the Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston song. I will always love you. They still love each other. They just can't be together. They're too far apart. And then they find a way. I'm moving back. I'm gonna be in the city with you. And they. Ah, you can. If it never ended the first way. I think you can. I think it's not going back for seconds. You can't have a disaster and. And then come back. I don't think. I think it's just.

[E]

Oh. There was always chemistry.

[D]

There's always a thing. It's like, we didn't break up because we didn't want to be together. We broke up because life pushed us apart. And here they are. They're finding it together, and she shows up in a Brooks and Dunn shirt. She's a different person now. You lost her. You lost your angel. Because what he's gonna be doing is comparing.

[E]

I'm still. I still have to find out I'd be. I'd always be curious, like, how bad is it?

[A]

Hey, tap it one more time.

[D]

I'd rather bang someone with STDs, because at least they're. They're not our word. STDs and country music just get in.

[A]

The box, bring out the game.

[D]

I mean, I want to tap dance around the whole subject, but I think what, like, Mark Kelly situation is actually beautiful. Like, what he's got, like, that's a. What a horrible tragedy that occurred with his wife and stuff. Why?

[A]

Because she's wearing a Slayer shirt and not a Brooks and Dunn shirt?

[D]

No, no. You know Mark Kelly's wife.

[A]

Yeah, I know.

[D]

And not in a Slayer shirt. But if she was, it would be off putting, wouldn't it? Like, if Gabby showed up in a Slayer shirt, like, Mark, what are you doing? Like, get that out of her closet. It. And she's singing. You know, Seasons in the Abyss, they're like, you're a little bit on New Year.

[G]

Yes.

[D]

But you. Do you think about how beautiful that is, because from the outside, that's it. But you're hoping deep down inside there's no physical connection between the two of them. Right. You don't want to think of astronaut Mark Kelly doing that to somebody who's in her condition. And I know that's their own private world, but I'm saying we don't need to worry. We don't need to think about that because it's like, ah, uncomfortable. But she's in much better condition than most country music fans. She's a smart, functioning human being. They're the ones who knock each other over in Porta Johns and laugh for months about there's prayers of gem. Oh, go ahead, Copenhagen.

[C]

It makes me feel so good, I put a little chew in my mouth, go spitting and slobbering all around the house.

[D]

Okay, how in the world am I wrong? How do people. How am I wrong?

[C]

Just the other made me feel just fine. I grabbed my honey baby and I pinched her old behind.

[D]

Oh, my God. That's not real. That isn't a real, real thing. People bought that.

[C]

It makes me feel secure.

[D]

Go after yourself. This dude's got millions. Okay, we get it.

[E]

Who's the guy?

[D]

Got an X in it. Which is how he signs his whole name. Just an X. Wow.

[E]

Come on.

[D]

I've never heard that. I didn't even know that was a thing. All right, I apologize to mentally challenged people for comparing you to country music fans. I had no idea they were much worse. Lis is. He's still singing it.

[A]

Oh, he's out there doing two step right now. Lre.

[D]

Makes me feel so good. We get it.

[C]

Copenhagen. The way I know it.

[D]

On a loop.

[F]

The same.

[D]

Goes into the harmonica solo.

[C]

It's a cure all too. Cures, fits, wards, freckles, coughs, coals, runny nose, guaranteed not to rip, run or snag. Makes conception a wonder and child birth of pleasure.

[D]

That's Copenhagen.

[C]

Copenhagen. It makes me feel so good I'm gonna kill myself.

[D]

I'm gonna kill myself knowing I share the freeways with that somebody out there. He's listening to that, enjoying that. And in charge of a 2 ton moving piece of metal because they legally are allowed to drive, which they shouldn't be. Holy Somalians. I had no idea.

[A]

You're welcome.

[D]

I have no idea.

[A]

Wow.

[D]

Okay. That threw me. I didn't know that was. I didn't know human beings could be that stupid until you hear Skull. Copenhagen. That ain't my brand. Skull makes me feel better than Chris feels when it's you. Copenhagen.

[A]

He had a song called Copenhagen angel too, I think. It talks about a chicken.

[D]

A chick who dips. Yeah, What a classy broad. Nothing I love than a chick slobbering out black spit.

[C]

Well, I was sitting in a bar.

[D]

Room still singing about it. This song's 12, 15 seconds max of life and he's made it five or six minutes long. I was removed from a facility for spitting on the floor. Can you believe it? Yes, adults don't spit on a floor.

[E]

Incidentally, Dale went crazy on Copenhagen.

[D]

Kelly. Kelly the emailer. Maybe Brett's right. I'll concede. Give her one last run with the knowledge your knees no longer buckle and your heart no longer flutters. She's not for you anymore. I'm worried most about Kelly catching it. Cause he's gonna go there. His knees will buckle. Cause he remembers her. He'll have his heart pumped and his chest pound like a swap chew and. And she'll say something like, listen to this song for a second. It's my favorite one now. Okay.

[A]

I don't know what the.

[D]

Oh, you used to listen to. We used to listen to tool together.

[A]

This is the bucking machine.

[C]

But the dang dis contraption that I've ever seen is that bucket of bolts called.

[D]

It confuses him. He doesn't even know the name of the mechanical bull. What? That bucket machine over there. Bucket of bolts. A bucking machine. That's what we call it. We ain't never figured out the name neither.

[A]

He's got a trilogy of Copenhagen songs. Copenhagen?

[D]

Copenhagen angel and Copenhagen Junkie and Copenhagen Infant.

[E]

He's talking about his girlfriend, the bucket machine.

[D]

My baby gave me the greatest gift of all when she opened her legs and out come her honey ho. My baby boy.

[A]

There's Copenhagen Angel.

[D]

I don't know what to say. We put some Copenhagen in that infant's mouth. A pinch between his cheek and toothless.

[C]

Gums of just one hand. She acts mean and discusses. I know she wished she were a man. She got her teeth knocked out by a bucking horse. And when I told her that it made her look tough.

[D]

He likes her.

[C]

She just grinned and said, I like it that way. And then she loaded up her lip with snuff.

[D]

Okay, this dude just said that the woman's teeth were kicked out by a horse. And then she later said, I like it that way.

[C]

Yeah, Beechnut bunny. She's my red fox Brusho.

[D]

Not that red fox.

[C]

She can ride a bareback horse and she can really hook it to a bull.

[D]

That doesn't. That's. What is that? Come on. Quit arguing with me about this country music thing. Let's see what Copeland jump.

[A]

Oh, it must be like Return of the Jedi.

[D]

Oh, yeah. Yeah, it is. It's the. It's the trilogy. It's the Ward Gotti trilogy in boxing. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened.

[C]

Well, I've never been afraid of much and never thought I'd need a crutch to help me.

[D]

This is about putting one in a baby's mouth or.

[C]

But there's one thing I can't do without, and Copenhagen's what I got.

[D]

This dude is just. He's the biggest corporate shill I've ever heard in my life. He's got a life. Lifetime supply of Copenhagen out of this garbage. I do it, Chris. The doo doo doo doo. I heard you. It's funny.

[A]

Mason just said Chris will do on kupd. Is the sun exploding in eight minutes or what?

[D]

We got eight minutes to live. Thank God.

[A]

Oh, now we're getting requests?

[D]

No. Done.

[A]

Keep your hands off my pbr. Hang on. I gotta find it. I gotta find this one.

[D]

People shouldn't be allowed on the freeways. We should build special roads for them. They're not human.

[A]

This is from Scuzz Twiddly. I don't know who this is. Hang on.

[D]

Get your hands off my PBR says.

[A]

It'S explicit, so I don't know where you. So just be good.

[C]

You can spin on my pickup truck on my mall Lousy.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

Leave a flaming bag of do outside my trailer door. But don't go messing with my pap's blue ribbon. Cause then you gone way too far. Keep your hands. Keep your hands off my pbr.

[A]

All right. You know, you may have turned me on this one. Yeah, that was, like, maybe one last run.

[D]

But I'm telling you, if she put that on Kelly, I don't care how. If Dua Lipa threw that on and said, make love to me. No, you're. You're retarded. I'm not. You are. You wouldn't like this.

[A]

Brian said. And yet states have higher education systems than us that produces music.

[D]

God damn it. Way to put it back in perspective, Brian. Get your hands right there on my pbr. What happens to their voices?

[E]

Get over here, bucket machine.

[D]

Yeah. Do you know how close it is as a person who does a couple voices to go from this guy right here. How you doing? To this guy right here? It's the same place. They live in the same place.

[D]

Holmberg's Morning Sickness here's how I know country music is for really stupid people. You ever seen the movie Sling blade?

[E]

Sure have.

[D]

SlingBlade outsmarted everyone in the movie. At the end, his plan got him. Slingblade dodged their system one after the other. He was the smartest one in the movie except the kid. The kid was the second smartest one in the movie and the homosexual John Ritter was the one that was living amongst them, realizing how stupid they were at all times but kind of hiding. Sling Blade outsmarted Dwight Yam. I rest my case. And I kind of like Dwight Yocum because he's old rock and roll. He would never sing get your hands off my pbr. That dude sings about stuff.

[C]

White and blue. So if you see me down at the tavern bellied up to the bar keep your hands keep your hands off my pbr.

[D]

Literally. You could stay hard for this with Mar.

[A]

I said you may be turning me on this one.

[E]

That's that's what I'm saying. You find out she's got that pbr. That's that's the deal breaker.

[A]

She's a real class act.

[D]

Brooks Adams says dabble in it. Hook knows who dresses up in Steeler gear with a game jersey making fun of his dad for wearing western clothes to a country bar. Put me in coach. I'm not making fun of him for wearing the costume to a country bar. I'm making fun of him for wearing it to Safeway. I'm making fun of him for wearing it to a not country bar. If I wandered around in my Steelers gear, you know a non game day to like some event. Like I'm hosting the Sit Stay brunch on Saturday. If I showed up in Steelers, I'd be like this is weird. Why are you me with the football uniform? It's not Halloween. That's the difference. Brooks Adam. And I am making fun of my dad because he'll show up in that on nights we're supposed to go to, like, lmore or some. Why are you dressed like you're going to wrangle dogies? It's just how I dress. No, it's not. This is a costume. You're in a city. Take that off. Do dogies about to take us out and it's nighttime. You don't need the hat. I like the hat. No, you don't. Take that off. Go get the shirt with the arrows on it. Have to go. We'll put a normal adult boy shirt on.

[A]

No, I can't play any Wheeler Walker songs.

[D]

No, we don't like any of that. But that proves my point even further. Anyway, Kelly, thanks for the email. You can take Brady's advice, look past it and have sex with a mentally challenged human being, which is a legal in 47 states, or you can take my advice, just say, you know what? The memories of her are much better than what's coming your way. Ugh, so sad.

[A]

And now you figure. Now you figured out why we dropped a 50th place, right?

[D]

And here's the other thing. Country Thunder is not helping us. Here's the other thing. I like Elsa from Frozen, and I think a woman that looks like Elsa is ridiculously hot. So let's say I rekindled a relationship with someone from years ago. Let's put ourselves in Kelly's shoes years ago, and we had knee buckling connection that just didn't work. And then now she's back, but she shows up dressed as Elsa and she's got Disney posters all over the place and she's got this weird thing going on. It's a mental derangement to wear the.

[E]

Outfit just out of curiosity again. Sure, I. And I want to see it. I mean, as far as. That doesn't mean it goes any farther. But I'm meeting her.

[D]

I go to lunch with her.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

And she could order a and see if she gets that disabled person's discount. She's an idiot. I think that's 10% off. What do you mean? Oh, like legally her IQ's dropped to where she's wearing Brooks and Dunn shirt and stuff. So she's not. She's gotta go. Man, oh, man. Man. This one says, thanks, John. Now I'm more dumb. Yep. This week it says country music is actually quite awesome. This is from Shan Man. Our Shan man.

[A]

No, I don't think so. No.

[D]

Says, you can't hate all country because Of a few bad songs. I love Metallica, but they're POTS albums. Fresh.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

It doesn't mean all again. We live in a world without new nuance. I'm not saying all rock music is fantastic and all country music's bad, but on the whole, the people who like country music are all retarded. I think that's an SAT if you're dressing up to do it. I mean, I think insane clown tossy people are equally weird. Like, if you wear the Juggalos. How dare you? If you're in a costume to go to a music show and it's like a lifestyle that you're not going to just wear at the show, you're gonna sometimes paint up and go over to the Denny's. Then you're nuts.

[A]

What about the guys wearing KISS outfits and makeup at the shows?

[D]

At the show, maybe I'll forgive it, but it's still a little much. You take it outside of the show. Goo goo. But that's what country music people do. I get it. You're wearing your duster and you want to dress up like a cowboy at a show. It's weird, but okay. But the second you leave and it's Tuesday and there is no show and you're still in the outfit, fit and you work like you work at Best Buy. You got no dogies. There's no reason for the gear. Gear was functional.

[E]

Blue shirt.

[D]

What?

[E]

The cowboy hat and the Best Buy blue shirt.

[D]

Yeah, the cowboy didn't get dogies. Roll through the. This is nice. Phone second here. But in case there's dogies, just know I've got my hat and I won't burn my neck. Why are you wearing the hat? It's my lifestyle. Your lifestyle is the basket by.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Not getting it. But if somebody was a big Captain Hook fan and walked around with a hook as a hand all the time and there was no, like, cosplay, you'd consider that person crazy.

[E]

Yeah, but a T shirt is not.

[D]

To that getting there first step and then the next step is, did he.

[E]

See it on a poster? Said, show a picture of her in the shirt.

[D]

She sent him a picture.

[E]

Because I'm just thinking if you. You had a girl years ago, you had chemistry, and all sudden she sees you in, you know, your Manilow shirt or your Britney shirt.

[A]

But that's a joke.

[D]

I'm joking.

[E]

Don't know that. Maybe she's joking.

[D]

That's not a very funny joke, though. A man dressed in a Britney shirt is funny immediately. Especially like, everybody thinks I'm a white supremacist. That's hilarious.

[E]

Air supply.

[D]

Yeah, Air Supply. Air Supply stuff. And it's a good looking sweatshirt, sir. Yeah.

[A]

John's lying his ass off a dua lipo stand in front of him in a Dwight Yokin bikini blasting Travis Tritt. He'd be erupting like Mount St. Helens.

[D]

Yes. Do is a tough one.

[C]

That's easy.

[D]

But if she's playing Travis Tritt and I've got images of Travis Tritt, My face hurts cause the sun's up. They're like, oh no, I can't listen to this. Why can't we listen to her music? If you want to run away with.

[A]

Me I know that Travis trip.

[E]

Travis Tritt's more of a southern doctor.

[D]

I don't know that I know how he sounds, but right now it's not good. We're about to start.

[E]

He toured with Charlie Daniels.

[C]

I'm just trying to make a little living watching everybody else having fun.

[A]

Now you'd hit do it with that one.

[D]

Maybe do it gets nailed on that one. Still not dressing the. I mean, it's no Copenhagen, but, you know, thank God. Oh, my God. Well, Kelly, it's up to you, but you've created quite a debate around here. I'm right. Having sex with somebody, brain damage is illegal. Legal. That's all I'm saying. Do it all you want. I just hope you don't get caught. Cuz it ain't right.

[A]

So Raiders fans were like country fans, right?

[D]

If you had a. If you had a lady who was a Raiders fan, she came over in the silver and black face paint and it's Wednesday. What are you doing? I'm just a huge fan. I love this stuff. Stop it. Take that off.

[E]

That.

[D]

Nathan Sutherland's listening this morning and he wants to change his plea to not guilty. He's using the Holmberg defense. Your honor, I had no idea she was mentally challenged. I thought she just loved country music. I've met these people. They're all the same. Mr. Sutherland, you are free to go. Not guilty. She was a better conversationalist, Nathan's girlfriend than most country people. Rather have a chat with her. You heard that song about Copenhagen? Copenhagen, angel and Copenhagen, baby. Angel, angel and Copenhagen. Babies who love angels. Yeah, Poor lady. I did like when Dua Lipa dressed up as a cowgirl in that one video. But she sang her song and all she did was sexy ride. What do they call that? That bucket machine. She sexy rode it and then did that. I don't not find it sexy. For a girl to be in a cowboy costume, I find it.

[A]

Those rocky jeans and stuff like that.

[D]

Yeah. Once they leave the house in the costume to go somewhere that isn't country related, I find it crazy. I love the Steelers. And occasionally during a game, I'll put a helmet on. If I leave the house to go to dinner with the helmet on, suddenly I'm special. It's a fine line. It's actually not that fine a line. It's pretty well defined. Why are you in a helmet? Big fan. Oh, he can't control it. Dude was pretty hot. And if you ever watch her in that video where she's doing the. She's walking around the cowboy hat.

[A]

But what about Buffett fans? You know, when they're not at the show, walking around in Tommy Bahama and stuff.

[D]

Buffett fans are just blank people. I wouldn't even say they're dumb. They're just blank, uninteresting human beings. They're everybody's corporate boss every once in a while. Yeah, but it's just hubble hubba. They have nothing to say. Buffett fans have no interesting stories. They're boring human beings. They let some weird mayonnaise man sing about margaritas and cheeseburgers. Yeah, he expresses that. Oh, it's just great. I like those things. Like, they're just boring. It's out of control. Now it's John Holbrooke, Doug here from the morning sickness. And it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of My Home Group and Doug Hopkins dot com. Have you ever thought to yourself, I'm gonna sell my house? Of course you have. And one reason or another, you just didn't do it. Probably because it's a hassle when you try to make a real estate deal. 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 sing.
