For the amazing people at the Core Institute, life can throw you a curveball now and again. One day you're trucking along, feeling great. Next day your dog smashes into your head and knocks you cold. Or like a KUPD listener told me this week, his dog did a sprint across the backyard directly into the side of his wife's leg and blew her knee up. She needed that need to get fixed and fixed right. Two years later she's running like she used to again. And it's all thanks to the Core Institute. I went through it too. And you can get rid of your pain and start saying yes I can to all the things you want to do. And and all you have to do is trust the experts at the Core Institute head there right now. The Core Institute.com it's good to be on top, isn't it?
Brady
Yeah.
Brett
So get on top and ride with the top morning show in town and the best of Holmberg's morning sickness. 98kupd I am excited because the first story I read today was a I just opened my phone. Somebody sent me something and said this is for us. Another like minded individual. Brett, you'll like this. Brady, maybe not so much. But Brady, all you you've aged into this. You could actually do this. They're they're starting a child free adults only living suburb centers. Meaning you can't have kids but you don't have to be 55 and older. Retirement.
Brady
Nice. Have that.
Brett
But the thing about retirement they can visit. Nobody thinks about retirement communities because there's kids all over them as grandkids show up and grandkids end up sometimes live with their grandparents at those things. I know in two occasions where a guy lived with his kid and his mom at her retirement home because he got divorced and booted. So they have no policy that says you can't. These are normal people, not retirees over the age of 55 or, you know, senior living, where you just have a neighborhood with, you know, public amenities and everything else. The lady was mainly complaining. She goes, we have a public pool with, you know, this gigantic thing. We pay every month. And every time I go there, there's kids in it screaming and yelling. In the lap pool. They got their own and the kids have their own pool. And the parents aren't anywhere. They just drop them off. Everything else, she goes, so I'm working on it. And it got traction. Instead of people going, oh, you just don't like kids? She's like, no. She goes, enough people filed in and signed up and said, let's. Let's see if we can make our neighborhood child free.
John Holmberg
Where is this?
Brett
It's in England right now.
John Holmberg
Oh, damn it.
Brett
But if we start talking about how wonderful that can be, we can still discriminate against them like it's our. It's. It's our God given right, evidently, as human beings, to want to find someone to discriminate against. We've been doing it since the beginning of man. We pick a group and we discriminate kids. We can discriminate. They have no rights. It's fantastic.
Brady
But what you didn't know is the place in England's called Barren woods. Good home development.
Brett
Fine. That's my favorite type of woman.
John Holmberg
The barren one we broadcast from England.
Brett
Yeah, we need to move. You know what? In this modern age, you'll last about four days in child free zone.
Brady
No, in England, I would last fore.
Brett
You could move me to Bhopal, India. If it was child free, I'd never want to come back. Brady, that's a tall order. Yeah, no, you could move me to the worst parts of Africa. We do not have children. Okay. Also no food, but I'll take it. I'll forage for food before I live in a neighborhood riddled with kids. What a great thing. And then so that kind of trickled down over into. Well, why not Restaurants I love.
Brady
There's that one place that opened up. Where I think it's in New York.
John Holmberg
Damn it.
Brady
No.
Brett
No kids.
Brady
Yep.
Brett
None.
Brady
The.
Brett
I love it.
Brady
The one guy. It was. One was a no kids and the other was. Check your phone at the Cool with that place.
Brett
That's fine too. I would do that. But I am that. We are a strong, quiet group of people who did. Did right by the environment. Environmentalists. I call us Brett. We're environmentalists. We didn't add to the problem. We were responsible not to make more people. And we. We want Our own sanctuary. We want our own place.
Brady
It is interesting because I, I think majority of the bars are still that way, but now they're made more family friendly stuff.
Brett
Not necessarily. When bars are fun. Yeah.
Brady
Taverns and.
Brett
Yeah. You're. No place in the world for you in Gilbert. That's going to say no kids, you go to the bars in Gilbert. Every restaurant in Gilbert, all the good restaurants down in Phoenix are like, oh, this is a cool place. And Gilbert is just a family adventure. It's what Gilbert is. You couldn't do it in Gilbert, but that's the point. Like, that's why I'd never live in Gilbert. It's a freaking kid festival everywhere you look.
Brady
What about the Undertow? They allow kids in the Undertow?
Brett
I don't think so.
Brady
There's.
John Holmberg
I think it's one of those places. It's. It's normally like, you know, you can have kids there till 9 or something like that. And then.
Brett
But what if you don't want to drink? What if you're not out for a night of boozing? You want a nice dinner? You want to, you know, state 44. No kid night at steak 45. I don't know why anybody takes their kids to steak 44 anyway. They don't appreciate it. It's too much money for a kid to order the side of Mac and cheese for $31. Knock it off. Take your kid to an Applebee's. That's. That's their palate level. They don't need to be exposed to this. Imagine what they're gonna do on. See, I always tell my friend, he takes his daughter, who's now 14. They go, she demands, like she does it all the time. Let's get sushi. Let's go get steak 44. And I'm like, you know what you've done? You've wrecked whoever's gonna date her. You've made her impossible to like as a guy because she, you know, you try to take her to a normal dinner, she's like, eh, she's been raised on, you know, Christopher's and Steak 44 and restaurants in the Biltmore. It's like she can't date some kid unless the kid's independently wealthy. And she's not gonna find that he's.
Brady
Just set him up for. He's gonna be the one that takes her to dinner for birthdays.
Brett
That's it.
Brady
My dad will take me to take photo.
Brett
Exactly. You're never going to measure up to the. The food daddy gave. And now she's going to be a weirdo.
John Holmberg
Well, that's the worst part is that kid, that poor kid that's dating her is going to be like, I can only afford a bag of a basket of ribbons, you know? Come on, come on.
Brett
Two for 20. I have a coupon, dummy. Yeah, this is Corrales. I'm here. Oh, man, you're impossible to like. I told him, he's.
Brady
The upside of it is she's looking for a guy that can do the stake 44.
Brett
Downside is can't find the guy who does. You're a good couple. Downside. She's attracted to a bad boy who can't take her to stake 44. Next thing you know, she's rolling around in the back of a car making people and staying out of Bretton Mines neighborhood. She's going to be pregnant by the time she's 16.
Brady
Keep this up, I'll get you stake in a 40.
Brett
Yeah, right. That's what she's about. Steak 44. Shut your mouth. Here's your 40, Sizzler.
John Holmberg
40 ounce.
Brett
And here's your steak. That's your meat tonight. You're a bad boy. That's right. Oh, opposite of dad.
Brady
Bad boy goes to dinner with you on her birthday.
Brett
Oh, he's gonna be.
Brady
Dad's picking up.
Brett
He's gonna be eating, that's for sure. Oh, Dad's picking up. But she's got to be careful because prenatal care says she shouldn't eat a lot of protein. She's gonna be pregnant. He'll be bored. He won't be able to take her to dinner. He'll do one of those romantic walks in the park thing. She's going to be pregnant. You've created a pregnant. A pregnancy monster. Yeah. Child free. And we need to be as people who don't have children and don't want them, a little bit more like, hey, vocal about, I think people should get kicked out more often with their kids. That was. This all comes from me working at Tony Romas and seeing, you know, everybody acts like, oh, it's so different now. No, it's not. Thirty years ago, when I was working in restaurants, people just let their kids do whatever the Cheerios. If I see a Cheerios. It ruins Cheerios for me watching people just throw it on the ground and say, well, you have people to pick that up. What does your house look like, you hogs? They're goldfish bags. The second I saw that little Ziploc come out of that mom purse full of goldfish, I'm like, there's just gonna be gummed up cud goldfish all over this table, all over that high chair. And you just want us to clean up after them for one night?
Brady
That's where the fast casual kicks in. They don't have time to set up camp and spray the Cheerios.
Brett
They may.
Brady
I haven't seen that in a long.
John Holmberg
But it.
Brady
It's. Yeah, they find the spots.
Brett
Yep. If a mom has the thing of Cheerios or even worse, the little. Like, she's super prepared. And there's a little plastic container of Cheerios for that.
John Holmberg
Little Tupperwares.
Brett
Yeah. Little tups of here you go, doll. Just gum it up and spit it all over the place. That's what. And it doesn't matter because everybody loves you. Nope. Not true.
Brady
Cute.
Brett
Yep. That was a good majority of the time. I think those kids were drinking tainted sprites or we had Sierra Mist. There was a few Sierra Mists your kid was sucking down that had James Pearman's bodily fluids in them. I guarantee you that. I never did it.
Brady
Tough one is eating at the restaurant, and you look over and there's mushmouth. Got the whatever. The carrots. Liquid carrots that's all over the mouth.
Brett
Yeah.
Brady
Just dripping.
Brett
If you're at a restaurant, you shouldn't be allowed to. You shouldn't. Just like, I just like. I couldn't bring it in. If you and I went to a restaurant like, Brady, you're not gonna order off the menu. I. I brought you a bag of food. You're not allowed to do that. It's against health code with babies. For some reason, you can bring food from home into a restaurant. Not supposed to be able to do that. Brett and I are out. I'm like, I have some pizza I wrapped up from another place. Here you go. Chow on that. I'm gonna order something off the menu. They kick Brett out, Like, what are you doing? You brought food from another place. It's illegal.
John Holmberg
Did you guys just. At Tony Romans.
Brett
Did you just.
John Holmberg
Just fight over who was gonna have to take that table when the kids walked in?
Brett
Money exchanged hands a lot. I was like, especially if I was. Because I was there for a long time as a busboy. Especially when we first started. I was a busboy. I started when I was 15. By the time I was 17, you still had to be a busboy because you couldn't do anything else. I had seniority over all these little pricks. And I'd be like, look, I've cleaned up enough after. This is yours. Oh, you gotta give me five bucks for that. I'm not giving you anything. You go clean up that kid's orange snot slop, gold fish.
Brady
And was it restaurant carpet or was it.
Brett
Oh yeah, it was a cruddy restaurant and we had to use the bissell to try to get it off and it didn't. It just mashed it in. So then you get on your hands and knees and scrub baby cud out of the carpeting.
Brady
My little angel.
Brett
All four. And I mean all four child free restaurants and everything else. It's great. That's what makes the gay neighborhood so awesome. Occasionally one of their adopted Asians will pop in, but most of the time a child free zone is a really clean tastic place to be. So I'm all for this. In a childfree neighborhood for normal people, you don't have to be in and amongst 70 year olds under 55. Yeah, I mean, just a great spot to live and it's for us responsible people that didn't go muck up the earth with more people.
Brady
Now I think some of these places here you can cut in at 50.
Brett
I probably have to pay a little extra, but it's almost worth it. Visit Holmberg's morning sickness online at 98kupd.com.

Brett
Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with Wayne from Amco and Wayne. Now that it's getting warmer, I turned on the AC in my car and the air's blowing kind of cool, but it really smells like a basement. What can I do about that, Larry?
Wayne
Your car's AC system should be checked.
Brett
And serviced every year. Plus replacing the cabin air filter helps.
Wayne
The air blow strong and takes away any nasty smell.
Brett
Nice. Is that a big deal to get done?
Wayne
Not at all. It takes about an hour and in most cases we can do it while you wait.
Brady
That's awesome.
Brett
I'll say. We're Amco. Google Amco for your nearest location. That's Amco double a MCO transmissions And.
John Holmberg
A whole lot more.
Brett
Holmberg's morning sickness. And that's the thing. People always will email and say, you were a kid once, and I was a kid who. If I misbehaved in a restaurant, you didn't know I was there. You never knew I was there. If I made a noise, if I talked, I was out of line. My grandpa had a rule in his house that if he's talking, no one else is. And if a kid says something at a table, dinner was over for that kid. You don't speak. You're not important at all during dinner. And God forbid you hummed or anything else, he'd just reach over and take your plate. He goes, that's it. It's a place for the adults to talk. You just eat, man. That's pretty awesome. Now I'm like, that's beautiful. What a. That is a gold Beautiful. And he liked kids. He wasn't like. He just had strict rules about. At the dinner table, the kids don't have a say. Shut your mouth.
John Holmberg
Restaurants. It was five across a mouth for me. If I got out of line, I just. Right in the restaurant.
Brett
I spent many a meal in the backseat of a car in the parking lot. I blew my straw. I got a milkshake. That was a treat. Sucked up that milkshake and looked at that witch sister of mine. Just shot milkshake on her.
Brady
Oh, you got in trouble.
Brett
Oh, did I get in trouble. I got carried out of the restaurant by my pants like a super wedgie. And he's like, shut your mouth. Shut your mouth. Don't you cry. I'll give you something to cry about. That old line. I'm like, oh, my God. And I realized, oh, he's going to kill me, and I probably deserve it. That was pretty stupid. And then you realize, don't note yourself. Don't shoot food on your stupid sister in public or otherwise when dad's around. Stuffed me in a car. I sat in the back of that Oldsmobile Regency bro Amp but two hours, they could have abducted me. My dad would have been fine with it. He probably left the keys in the car with a note that said, free kid inside.
Brady
I almost bid on one of those for you at the Barrett Jackson on Saturday.
Brett
Regency. Yeah.
Brady
There's an 88.
Brett
What year in 88? Oh, 1988. Okay, not the 98 and then the Delta 88.
Brady
Yeah.
Brett
So, yeah, we had a 76, 77. We get the Grand Prix. We had another one in 86. The. The redo Regency. Yeah, we're much smaller yeah, my dad likes body. He loved the Oldsmobile and he also liked a car for himself. The Oldsmobile was the family trucks. But yeah, child free zones are. They're good. I have no issues with.
John Holmberg
I wonder if it's like a whole community where the restaurants and stuff like that. No kids either.
Brady
I think it's changed.
John Holmberg
That's it.
Brett
Amazing too.
Brady
A little going out. I mean now more and more families go out no matter what. When we would go out, like when I was kid, when I was younger, had to put a blazer on most times. When you went to the Menacor restaurant, German restaurant, there was. You're behaving, you're following orders there.
Brett
This is only 20 years removed from their last movement. You're still a little wary of the Germans. There were a lot of them still alive from the last thing saying we were close and probably pretty happy about it. They almost won. And you got to remember that the survivors in Germany that were on board were this close to being a Germanic. The entire thing was almost Germany, the whole globe. There were a few of them that were unhappy about the loss. They did not take the loss well. They look like that guy for the Bengals just sitting there crying. It's like the Americans did what? Oh man, we lost. Oh, we had. We were on the doorstep of it all. That was very close. But I understand. You got to suit up, make sure. But we didn't have. We didn't do too many suit nights because my dad knew we'd ruin.
Brady
That's why we didn't like. That was smart because as a kid you don't like doing that.
John Holmberg
Even on.
Brady
Even on. I don't want to go to planes.
Brett
Yeah. You had to dress up to go places. Yeah. I had a dumb little suit with a clip on tie that occasionally they'd stuff me in and I'd get antsy because I don't like having all those clothes on me. But I knew better. I never. You never heard from me. And that's a good. That's good parenting. A kid is not to be heard from in public. It's not. It's not your time to shine, son. This is not an audition for. Who's the funnest kid in a restaurant. Sit down, shut up or. And you're not eating if you make any noise. That was great. The best. But yeah, I'm excited about this first story. This is for us, John. This is for us. I'm looking this lady. All she does put a TikTok out. I'm sick of this. Every Time I try to use some of the amenities in our neighborhood. There's rogue children ruining it. Can't do anything. Can't go to the park. Can't do, you know, like, have those. Anything. And the worst part would be if they had a kid pool and they're still in your pool. That's what she said. I do laps in the morning now. There's kids jumping at me like, this is great. So movement against them. I vote to eradicate them all packing today. I mean, I go further. I'll say if we could just eliminate them, I would have no issue with that completely. Just kind of, you know, wean out the entire species.
John Holmberg
This guy had parents like us, John, believe me, I feel your pain of doing something stupid. Except when. Especially when I was shooting spit wads at my sister, my dad would just beat my ass right there and didn't care who was watching.
Brett
Yeah, I didn't get the beatings. I got the. I got everything just removed. I got the fear of beatings more than the beatings. Occasionally you get the smack.
John Holmberg
Yeah, I would get the smack once in a while, but I usually, like I said, five across the mouth.
Brett
And they would tell me, I will hit you right in front of everyone. And I was like, oh, geez, here we go. Or he'd just start to unbuckle his belt, which he never hit me with once. But that was enough of a threat. He could smack that thing together and make me just poop. Yeah, fear of your parents. That's a smarter, better way. This love thing isn't working. It's just making all your kids Fentanyl addict. Gotta bring back fear. Bring back fear. 2023. Stop being their friends. Start being their wardens.
John Holmberg
Fear and shame, like, fear change.
Brett
Fear and shame have been missing for a little while, and it's. And I notice it with your rat kids. I talk to my friend Mark's daughter all the time. She's just evil now. She just, like. She drove me home the other day. She's only 14, but they've got a golf cart. And we rode bikes. And I was getting bikes back to Mark's house and, you know, everything else. And she drove the golf cart back. And she just, like, you know what you are? Ugly ass. All right, all right. Okay. And I'll tease back and then. But she's just. And she'll cuss and swear in front.
Brady
Of stirring it up.
Brett
Parents don't care. She's swearing like crazy. And I'm like, man, oh, man, this would have been a. Just. I Would have been buried in a backyard for that. Oh, the cussing thing. It's theirs. They're fine with it. Everybody's like, yeah, what are you gonna do? It's total bull, dad. I'm like, she's 13. You should hit her. I think you should hit her. Why? Shouldn't be cussing at you. Ah. What are you gonna do? You hit her. I think right now is when you. Okay. Guess not. But yeah. So child free zones. I don't like my friend's kids, but I like them at a distance. I like it when we go out. They don't go. They know I wouldn't. I've been invited over. Like, are the kids gonna be there? Yeah. And a couple of their. Nope, I'm out. Their friends are there too. I've been through this. It's a nightmare. Nobody likes your kids. Not on adult night way. Let's keep it normal.
Brady
Be interesting to see the responsibility of this couple. They're under investigation. The Department of Education, Ohio, because they have a school that's openly anti Semitic and racist. Nazi Homeschooling Group, 2500 members on it right now.
Brett
Upper.
Brady
And I saw the headline said upper what? Upper Sandusky, which is Cleveland. But they're under investigation right now.
Brett
They're openly anti Semitic and they're under investigation. That the investigation?
Brady
Well, that's why they've been accused of this. So they're under investigation, but they. You know, I think they got something here. Nazi dissident homeschool group which now boasts over 2500 members members on its Telegram channel. I guess you can get it online too.
Brett
But if you're openly. Anything. What are they investigating?
Brady
Whether that's. That's got. It's illegal to be.
Brett
Is it a public school?
Brady
The group openly advocates white supremacist ideologies and aims to make sure the children they teach become wonderful Nazis.
Brett
Sure. If it's a private Nazi school, you got to allow it. If it's a public school, absolutely. It's the same thing as you doing.
Brady
Looking into it to see no different.
Brett
Than you taking Kirby to Christian school to belief system being taught to a child. It's horrible.
Brady
Well, maybe they're making sure they follow everything. Like, if you're disciplining the kids, how are you doing that?
Brett
They're all on the same team out of the Nazis discipline differently to their group.
Brady
I'm saying they're not my. Well, I know some states, you know, ban any kind of physical striking.
Brett
Yeah, but you're assuming the Nazis are just beating the crap out of the Nazi.
Brady
Not assuming that. I'm just saying that that's why they're investig and checking out, you know. Are you following the state's education laws.
Brett
In the reading, writing and arithmetic? I don't think they're worried too much about knocking them around and also throwing some Nazi stuff. It's really. No, I don't. It's awful. But I don't see it any different than going to a religious school.
John Holmberg
Another great thing about the adult only thing, no school, let alone no Nazi schools.
Brett
No stupid zones where you have to slow down to like four miles an.
John Holmberg
Hour for no red for ed taxes.
Brett
You know my favorite thing in the world? Oh, you already have those city buses. Don't care about the people on the buses. They assume that and they just park them on the side of the road and everybody just get out. But a school bus, they know those idiots get out. They have to stop everybody going every direction. City bus the other day just stopped on the road and I was going around it and then people just started to walk in front of. There's no crosswalk. I'm like we need to learn this at school. When did that leave your brain dummy that you're not supposed to. There's a crosswalk 15ft the other way. He's going to walk in front of the bus and pops right out from. You didn't. I didn't see him right there in Glendale. Boink. Like ah. Yeah, but nobody cares. And that's what I always like too is like elementary school kids, they've done some studies. They can take a hit from a car at 50 miles an hour. Under junior high is 25. You don't notice that. That's it. They don't slow you down. High schools are like 35, let's kill it. 10 miles an hour. These kids are bigger. We can hit them at 35. I've always, I've always looked at school zones acceleration of speed as hilarious. Like man, these kids are pretty small. 15. 15 and under that high school. Yep, 35 and high school 35 is pretty good. And the lights will be flashing. Remind you these kids are 35. We're not gonna take it to 15 for them.
Brady
Not as many rolling balls in high school crossing the street.
Brett
I guess they should have Learned from the 15 and 25 mile an hour strikes that 35 is gonna hurt a whole lot more. I just always thought it was great that as you got older the speed limit around you went up. All right, now you're in the 25 mile an hour zone. Don't go dicking around. You survived the 15. It's like donkey Kong. You're on another level. Gotta get a little tougher out there. Arizona's most powerful rock climbing institution.
Brady
It's out of control now.

Holmberg's Morning Sickness - Arizona: Best of HMS Podcasts - January 20, 2025
Episode Overview In the "Best of HMS Podcasts" episode released on January 20, 2025, Holmberg's Morning Sickness (HMS) delves into the emerging trend of child-free communities in suburban areas. Hosts John Holmberg, Brett, and Brady engage in a candid and often humorous discussion about the challenges and motivations behind creating adult-only neighborhoods. The conversation also touches on personal anecdotes related to parenting, societal expectations, and the controversial rise of extremist homeschooling groups.
The episode kicks off with Brett and Brady introducing the concept of child-free communities in the suburbs. They discuss the growing desire among certain adults to live in neighborhoods without the presence of children, aiming for a more peaceful and orderly living environment.
Brett [01:08]:
"They're starting child-free adults only living suburb centers. Meaning you can't have kids but you don't have to be 55 and older. Retirement."
Brady [01:46]:
"Nice. Have that."
The hosts explore the perceived benefits of such communities, including reduced noise, less wear and tear on public amenities, and a more serene environment for residents. However, they also highlight the challenges, such as enforcing adult-only policies and the societal implications of excluding children.
Brett [02:45]:
"But the thing about retirement they can visit. Nobody thinks about retirement communities because there's kids all over them as grandkids show up and grandkids end up sometimes living with their grandparents at those things."
Brett [03:08]:
"We've been doing it since the beginning of man. We pick a group and we discriminate kids. We can discriminate. They have no rights. It's fantastic."
Brett shares personal stories from his time working in restaurants, highlighting the frustrations of dealing with children in public spaces. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining order and cleanliness, recounting incidents where children caused disruptions during meals.
Brett [05:06]:
