Brett Vesely
Hey, it's Brett Vesely and I'm here with Byron from MMP Guns. Look, Byron, I have a friend wanting to sell some guns he inherited. What's the best way for him to do that?
Byron
Brett, the last thing you want to do is sell the gun to someone who can't legally own one. Tell him not to put himself at risk and come into M and P Guns where he'll get a fair offer and he can rest easy knowing it's not getting into the wrong hands.
Brett Vesely
Okay, but what if he lives out.
Byron
Of state easy legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it all online. It's really that simple.
Brett Vesely
There you have it. MMP Guns or Legal Gun, the safe and legal way to sell your firearms.
Announcer
Here's another stocking stuffer from the best of Homburg's morning sickness.
John Holmberg
Did you see the. Dude, you probably have it in the story. The Dunkin Donuts toilet exploded.
Brady
This is.
John Holmberg
This is why I don't go in public restrooms. This is why I like how they talk to the.
Brady
One of the employees over there. Yeah, it been happening for a while.
John Holmberg
He'd been gurgling. It was kind of like a volcano.
Co-host
A couple of people that already happened to, they had some seismic activity that.
John Holmberg
They'Re like, something ain't right. But they never called, you know, precision plumbing and got Eric Bryant's gang over there to do some work and fix the toilets. But the toilet exploded. Exploded. It didn't just bubble up. It exploded to the point where the man has injuries.
Brady
Severely injured. I don't know if it's a. Well, mental trauma.
John Holmberg
That too.
Brady
He came out of the toilet, out of the bathroom, back into the main, you know, where the counter Duncan covered.
John Holmberg
In feek and urine and tempies or whatever else is.
Brady
Whatever else came up Vesuvius.
John Holmberg
It's bad. So, yeah, he went in. His name is Kerouac. Not like the beat poet Jack Kerouac, but it's the same name. And the staff actually told him, which is even worse. When you're covered in blown up Dunkin Donuts toilet and you come out go, hey, what gives? And the staff's like, yeah, that's been going on for a while. Like, oh, you sons of bitches.
Co-host
He's only suing for 50 grand. I'd own all the Duncans.
John Holmberg
I would make sure I had. I would make sure I had the best lawyers in the world and I'd own all the Duncans. If a toilet under me explodes in a public restroom, that's the end of that place.
Co-host
It is now.
John Holmberg
Homburg. Dunkin Donuts.
Brady
Sorry for that, sir. You want some chocolate munchkins?
John Holmberg
Yeah, you get one three dozen. Now go wipe yourself off.
Co-host
I'm not going back in the bathroom.
John Holmberg
The toilet exploded. I didn't even know that was a thing.
Brady
I'm. I'm picturing. Is it one of those high pressure ones?
Co-host
What does that mean?
John Holmberg
Oh, you know, when you're. I don't know. It's high pressure coming back. I'll tell you that. But again, if you're. And why are you spending so much time at Dunkin Donuts that you're actually sitting down?
Brady
Yeah, maybe he's a sit to pee guy.
Co-host
I don't sit to pee.
John Holmberg
Guys already have a thing where we're not doing that in public. You stand to pee in someone's at home. I sit to pee.
Co-host
You don't sit to pe.
John Holmberg
I sit to pee here because it's my own private throne. But.
Brady
He tired him. He was a regular and that was his spot. That's every morning at 7.
Brett Vesely
Hey. The old morning show from KSLX used to do that.
John Holmberg
And just at Duncan.
Brett Vesely
Peel the paint off the walls here at the building.
Co-host
I don't understand.
John Holmberg
Poof.
Brady
7:15 on the reg, man, your eyes.
Brett Vesely
Would water walking down the hall.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And their diets. I don't know what was going into. Something's dying inside there. Don't go to the Dunk. Don't do that to the Duncan. The Duncan and I. Larry David had that when he started his coffee shop. That was a no defecation zone. He started just urinals and people would come in and go, where's the toilet? Like next door. You don't do that here. You don't. There's no defecating.
Co-host
You're not in the shop long enough. You shouldn't be spending that much time.
John Holmberg
In a Dunkin Donuts where you're thinking, you know, I should probably take a here at Dunkin. Go home for a few minutes.
Co-host
You're sick, something's wrong.
John Holmberg
You're physically not well. If you can't control your time in a Dunkin without having a deuce.
Brady
And.
Co-host
I'll get the emails. What about an emergency that's proof you're sick? Healthy people don't have fecal emergencies.
John Holmberg
Something's not right with you. Stay home that day. You just had to go.
Co-host
Well then go home.
John Holmberg
Clinch up until you can get home I wasn't anywhere near my house and the emergency happened. Well, sorry. Duncan shouldn't be the one that pays for that.
Brady
That's why back in the day they still have it. The gas stations have either a five pound weight or a mallet. You have to do the walk of shame going to the bathroom or the.
Brett Vesely
Big hubcap back in the day.
Co-host
Cuz they know as we know what.
Brady
You'Re going to do.
John Holmberg
We know what you're going to do if you're willing to carry the wheel. Otherwise a decent man would say I'm not carrying that wheel. I know what that I'm going to pee on the side of the gas station when nobody's looking. We're men. The only reason to go get that wheel and the key from a gas station is because you've got something going on. My dad was one of those guys. I think he took dumps everywhere. He went restaurants.
Brett Vesely
But he was in construction. He had to be used to that.
John Holmberg
Yeah, but he had his own trailer and stuff. He was back in the day.
Brady
But think about that.
Brett Vesely
When he was still swinging a hammer.
John Holmberg
I'm sure.
Brady
Think about your dad, Brett. Because you had. You didn't have any options.
John Holmberg
Oh yeah, yeah.
Brady
You're on the road.
Brett Vesely
Get out of the truck and drop a deuce.
John Holmberg
This guy said. Did Brady just slyly admit to being a toilet connoisseur? He knows the difference between high pressure.
Co-host
But maybe it's time for Brady to.
John Holmberg
Hike rim to rim and relieve Kirby's misery. Yeah, that's true. You know too much about toilets. I don't know anything. I just know which those Japanese ones are the good ones. And all the rest are kind of the same. I didn't know about blowing up. I never heard of that. What are the signs?
Co-host
They'd have to gurgle, right?
John Holmberg
It would warn you toilets just don't spontaneously explode. Yeah, it would have to let you know because of that story. I saw the article that said other freak accidents with toilets in the past. One dude who was on death row went to go poof on one of those tin toilets in his cell and somehow had gotten electrified and slow burned him right there while he took his last deuce.
Co-host
Yeah.
John Holmberg
It killed him. And then there was a couple of, you know, a couple others that are like, some guy got killed on it. And then they had one in England that they wanted people to stop peeing publicly. So they had this thing that would lift out of the ground, like hit a button, and it was like a footh. Come out of the ground. You could use it. And one guy got in there and he started to use it and the thing malfunctioned and sucked him down. Into it.
Brady
Down.
John Holmberg
Yeah. And then one. Of course, the one that everybody knows the true story that everybody's horrified of is 1947. It was on a. Or 87. It was on a plane. And the old lady flushed and the suction got weird because she was still sitting down. And it gutted her from her. From her holes out.
Brady
Jesus.
John Holmberg
Because it vacuum sealed her onto the toilet seat. And then through her bung. Bung took out organs.
Brady
Rosebud.
John Holmberg
Yeah.
Co-host
That's when the beehive we.
John Holmberg
It was a beehive. And then the trail started tumbling out. But you got to think about, like they always say, you got like 107,000 miles of intestines that would never stop pulling.
Brady
Yeah, 29ft or whatever.
John Holmberg
She got inside out of there. It sucked out several feet of her intestines in her body. And she survived, actually. And you know how they landed and then the medical helicopter took her from the airport to a hospital and they stuffed it all back in there. I would never sit on a toilet seat in an airport, in an airplane. Not because I know better. I just. That horrifies me that something could go wrong. Not even that the toilet would go wrong. That's how they find me when the plane goes down, because I can't get me. Like, you know, your pants are on your ankles and I'm sitting there covered in that. I just don't like the. I'll pee in there, but I don't. I don't like stay. I get in and out of the airplane bath quickly.

John Holmberg
I didn't mind the setjet one. That was actually really nice. I've been in people's houses with worse bathrooms than what was in setjet. It popped in there and a nice mirror. Everything looked good. Like I could. If this thing goes down, I'd be happy in this. Like, find me in here. That's not bad. It's still a private jet. You're still doing all right, but, you know, nothing worse than being the dude with his pants down on Spirit Airlines and you're in the middle of a crash.
Brett Vesely
They even have bathrooms on Spirit.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I think you just go in the aisle. Yeah, well, it's at each seat there's a bucket.
Brady
Youngest one has to throw it out.
Brett Vesely
When the flight lands as you walk in.
Co-host
All right, folks, get your tray tables.
John Holmberg
And seats up and put a cap on your piss Jars. We're about to land. Yeah, I don't. I'm not. But the Dunkin Donuts, they don't deserve that. You don't have. Don't poop at the Dunkin'. Everybody's always like, shouldn't we be courteous to each other? That's where it should start. Don't you think?
Brady
Ben Affleck addressed that. And there's no mix of dump Dunkin' Spots.
Co-host
Yeah, just don't dump in the Dunkin'.
John Holmberg
There's people eatin there and the bathroom is like attached to the dining room. It's like having a kitchen bathroom.
Co-host
You just don't dump it to Dunkin'.
John Holmberg
They should. I mean, there's where respect starts and ends. To me, if you're willing to take a. Where people eat and walk out like, that's okay. It's gross. It's just gross. But people are gross. And I guess that's where it comes down. Don't poop at the Duncan. Can we have that 2024 rule?
Co-host
Can some of you just sit back.
John Holmberg
And go, my resolution for 2024 is to not dump in restaurants anymore.
Brady
I went by Duncan this morning.
John Holmberg
Did you drop a deuce?
Brady
No.
John Holmberg
You're a decent human being. Thanks for that. It's just not right.
Co-host
You know what?
John Holmberg
We should start.
Co-host
This is actually a pretty good idea. You know, take all the bathrooms out.
John Holmberg
Of Duncan's, all the poop places, and.
Co-host
Then like, you know, have like restroom stores.
John Holmberg
You know, like.
Brady
Well, they do it, you know, certain malls.
Co-host
Well, no, no, no. I don't even want it near another store. Standalone.
Brady
It's just like a convenience stop.
Co-host
Couple bucks to get in and then.
John Holmberg
You go in there and you. You drop a deuce.
Co-host
You do your business. It's a public restroom, although it costs.
John Holmberg
And then we take all.
Co-host
And it's the only place you can go. And that would force people to learn how to sphincter up and go home and poop.
Brady
They tried to do that with rest areas, but then those got ruined.
Co-host
But right.
John Holmberg
Because they were free. George Michael. The bigger problem was they were free. They were free Priest.
Brady
George Michael got involved and they had to shut down.
John Holmberg
You want to go inside there and get blown by a priest?
Brett Vesely
Two dollars.
John Holmberg
Cost you two bucks to get in. Have added inside special little doors.
Brett Vesely
Two bucks.
Co-host
Two bucks. Five bucks.
Brady
Call Father Dale.
Co-host
Oh, he'll do it for.
John Holmberg
Set it up for you.
Brett Vesely
He's the Epstein of Phoenix.
John Holmberg
If you want to do that.
Byron
No more.
Brady
You still have to donate.
Co-host
No more fast food restaurants.
John Holmberg
If you go into my business, which is just toilets, it's just called John's. We'll call it John and you go in there for two bucks. It's the only place sit down toilets exist anymore. McDonald's only has stand ups. You can only pee in public places. And if you've got to go on.
Co-host
Every stove, be like Starbucks. They'd be everywhere.
John Holmberg
And that way, yeah, the disgusting poop people have a place to go.
Co-host
My old landscaper, Jeff, I wouldn't let.
Brett Vesely
Him in the house.
John Holmberg
I'm like, there are places for you and you. I have to go real bad. I'm like, I'm sorry. Not letting you in the house to poop. It's not happening. You should have thought of this before. Plan your day better. It's an emergency. Then you're sick and you shouldn't be at work. Go home. He went in the alley and he took a dump.
Brett Vesely
Should have thought about it before you got those carne asada fries at Filiberto's.
John Holmberg
On your way over. Exactly.
Co-host
There's another thing. Monitor your diet when you've got a.
John Holmberg
Full day away from toilets.
Co-host
I know that if I'm not gonna.
John Holmberg
See a toilet for nine hours because I'm an outdoor worker and I can't rely. And I can no longer rely on the Dunkin or Taco Bell or wherever else is close, I'm not gonna suck down the Thai noodles. It's not happening. I'm not going to Chipotle for lunch. I might have.
Brady
That's the thing I think about like on Brett.
John Holmberg
Find myself airlines.
Brady
Like a 17 hour flight.
Co-host
Don't eat crazy before.
John Holmberg
Well, yeah. What you've done 17 hours. You have? Yeah. Look at him. He's taking dumps on a plane.
Brady
I can't recall.
John Holmberg
You would that you not recalling is a tell.
Brady
Well, I mean, that's the amount of times that I've flown over the.
John Holmberg
You know, if you've been. You know, if you've been in a airplane toilet and dropped a dude.
Brett Vesely
But is that an exception? Like you said you flew to Australia. Would you hold it the whole.
John Holmberg
Of course I held it all. Australia.
Brady
I don't think I could.
John Holmberg
I pooped once in Australia. I'm a home pooper. I know that.
Co-host
But I struggled to go anywhere.
John Holmberg
I went down to the lobby bathroom about nine days in and said, I think today's the day. Had a nice little thing. Two more days later, we're on a plane heading home. I was fine. Got to the house and an ungodly Amount of me came out mind over matter. They said that's not healthy. Maybe not, but the last thing I wanted to do was share a hotel room with somebody that was comfortable doing it too. Yeah, the johns. Johns leave the poor folks at Duncan alone. In fact, I hope toilets start exploding more often. Discourages people to do this. I like this idea.
Co-host
Public restrooms are available. You can go to the free ones.
John Holmberg
But there's a chance you're gonna get blown by a priest against your will. My place is monitored. There's, you know, nice little setup. A lobby can sit and wait your turn. There's a. We pay people pretty well to go in and clean. And it's specifically and only for that you don't come out and order donuts or go in with donuts. Even worse, there's a few guys who have a box of donuts. Like, man, I'm gonna have my bag of donuts and go in there and do my business. Just be considerate, that's all. If there's a room full of people eating delicious donuts or ordering breakfast, sitting.
Brady
On the throne, throwing the munchkin up in the air trying to catch em, you see him roll out from under the stall.
John Holmberg
Oh, give me that back. Give me that back. That's a good one. A lot of sugar left on that. That's a cinnamon. Yeah, he's doing the pop in his mouth. Cause you know, he's got nothing but time on his hand.
Co-host
And he's got a box.
Brady
My routine.
John Holmberg
You can't sit with a box of munchkins and not tap. You're going in this case. I love you, John, but for someone as American proud as you are, you have some commie ideas. Literally. Only commie countries have public restrooms you have to pay for. Well, the reason why is because they.
Co-host
Get tired of people taking at Dunkin.
John Holmberg
Not all commie ideas are bad. That's a good one. If you're, you know. Look, there's too many people dropping deuces at Dunkin. It's less considerate.
Co-host
I'm not saying it's mandatory.
John Holmberg
Just saying, wouldn't it be better if there was just a specific place designed for that? It's not a commie idea. If you think it's communist that you can't take on people while they eat. I'd rather live in a communist nation.

Episode Title: 12-26-25 – Man Suing Dunkin Donuts After Toilet Explodes Proving Again To Not Poop In Public – BO
Date: December 26, 2025
Hosts: John Holmberg, Brady Bogen, Bret Vesely, Dick Toledo
This episode dives into a bizarre, headline-grabbing lawsuit: a man is suing Dunkin Donuts after a toilet explosion left him injured and humiliated. With their signature irreverent banter, Holmberg’s Morning Sickness crew debates the pitfalls of using public restrooms, recounts legendary toilet disasters, and spirals into a hilariously passionate plea for restroom etiquette—especially in eateries. Memorable stories, vibrant jokes, and the familiar chemistry of the hosts make for a wild and opinionated ride on hygiene, decency, and a truly explosive situation.
[02:58–04:45] The hosts discuss the perils of using public restrooms, especially for “serious business”:
[04:31–05:04] The hosts agree: if you can't control your bowels long enough to get home, “something’s wrong with you.” Emergencies are seen as a sign of being unwell, not an excuse to use a restaurant bathroom.
[15:25–16:46] More rants about public restrooms, fast food etiquette, and not inflicting one’s “business” where others are enjoying food.
Hilarious responses to critics who call pay toilets a “commie idea”:
The episode is lively, irreverent, and unapologetically direct. The crew mines every ounce of absurdity from the Dunkin Donuts lawsuit and spins it into broader reflections on public decency, restroom etiquette, and the human condition—as only the Holmberg team can. Expect sharp-witted banter, memorable stories, and a tongue-in-cheek push for a new rule: Don’t dump where people eat!
