Transcript

[John Holmberg]

You're listening to the HMS podcast brought to you by MMP Guns.com, your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories. Hey everybody, it's John Holmberg from the Morning Sickness talking to Shane Orlando from Orlando Auto Body. Now, Shane, I take great pride in saying I stand with someone when I tell a listener to go to their shop. I know why. You tell me what's different for a KUPD listener to go to Orlando Auto Body than anywhere else? Well, first of all, we've been in the valley here for over 34 years. We do a quality job. We work for you, not the insurance companies. So we can work together to make sure your listeners are getting the customer service they deserve. If your car's been wrecked and you need that thing fixed the right way, get on over there now. Orlandoautobody.com you thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you? All right, Brady, nice job. That's Destroyer from Static X. That's never bad when you throw Static X on that's.

[Brady]

I believe that's Brady's second win of the year.

[Shane Orlando]

Wait a minute. I thought I was on a roll there. Yeah, I thought I had like a roll. Two or three in a row.

[John Holmberg]

Or three in a roll.

[Shane Orlando]

These three year olds, these stats aren't right.

[Brady]

Well, I'll go back to the, you know, the stats and we'll find out.

[John Holmberg]

Very possibly you've won three, but two. Two maybe low, but don't think you've.

[Brady]

Ever been on a roll.

[Shane Orlando]

I thought I opened up like with the first two weeks or something like that.

[John Holmberg]

It's been so long since you've won. I don' a while.

[Shane Orlando]

It's been a while.

[John Holmberg]

Fades from memory it's 120 degrees outside and the last time it was possibly 45, so I don't know when the last winds were, but you were the Canada of rock wars. We have Lord Stanley lives over here. Brett Knight. Yeah, it's true. It's not going to move over there anytime soon. I don't think. You'd have to go on one hell of a roll like you did when you started the year with two knocking it out of the yard a couple weeks in a row and then you took six months off. It is time now for Brady not to take any time off and give you the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our [e-mail] that's the home of tactical black self defense training and of Course, you watched Sophie Cunningham last night of the formerly the Phoenix Mercury, but now of the Indiana Fever. And I have to give Sophie a lot of credit. She evidently is a martial artist as well. And when she grabbed that girl by the back of the head, she did something that's amazing because she not only did some training that you do when you're being attacked by multiple people, she used the first person as a barrier between her and the other people. Also showed great restraint by not throwing her. And I'm sure this is what she's done in training a million times, throwing her knee right into the face of the girl whose back of the head she held. So Sophie could have gone to jail last night. Now that we know that she's Missouri's youngest black belt of all time. I don't know if that was a good school or not, but she showed some skill last night in her little fight. And it's evidently all you guys have been talking about because holy smokes, am I getting a lot of people going. Did you see Sophie fight last night? I sure did. Bottom line was she knew how to handle herself when somebody went crazy, and that was at her work. I use that as the example because FBI stat is the majority of the time, the most danger you face in a day happens in your workplace. It's where you spend most of your time. It's where strangers pop in, pop out, and sometimes the lunatics you work with are right there as well. So with that being the case, why not have a little bit of a plan at your work? Look around your work. There's a plan for a fire. There's a plan for. In case there's some sort of a toxic leak or if somebody went nuts. You probably have places that you would run or you have a plan, a staircase to go out of there. The same thing happens to defend yourself. It's preparation. It's not paranoia. And they do a great job up there at react defense, making you prepared and not paranoid. People who should be paranoid are the ones who aren't prepared. And that's what they get you to stop being. Stop being a sheep. Start being a sheep dog. Protect yourself and the people that are around you at all times. Do it now. You got nothing else to do this summer. The price is too good to two months. 199 bucks. That's personal training at a cost of about, I don't know, a couple bucks a class for all they offer. That's pretty amazing. So hop on it. Reactdefense.com. it's the home of Tactical Black Brady Entertainment.

[Shane Orlando]

More Americans watched television on streaming than on cable and network television combined. In May. It's the first time this has happened for a full month.

[John Holmberg]

Wow. It's over. TVs. TVs the old fashioned way is over. Now. We knew that. And congratulations to the staunch gray haired knobs that have run TV into the ground once again. Something that used to be free, well, branded and in every home in America is now losing to something that costs tons of money, is cumbersome and has absolutely no entertainment value. They have run broadcast television into the earth. Radio, are you listening? No, you're not. It's amazing to take a Brady if I gave you free food every day and every day you said, there's one thing about this I just don't like. And I still kept it in there every single time I gave it to you. And then somebody said, hey, for $10, I'll make you the thing you like without the thing he puts in it. But his is free. Mine's 10 bucks. And it's going to change and it's going to go up every month or so that I give you this.

[Shane Orlando]

You do it eventually.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, eventually you're going to be like, this guy doesn't listen to me. The free guy is a dick. Radio Traditional radio bosses and traditional TV bosses never listened to you guys. That's why we're the only show left, us and Beth.

[Brady]

Yep.

[Brady]

She carries two months out of the year.

[John Holmberg]

In fact, she went on a rating split the other day. I don't know if you guys, if she came to your house, open the door, and there was Beth with a gun.

[Brady]

Oh, my God.

[John Holmberg]

You tell whoever at Nielsen, you listen to me. I'm like, oh, my God. She gave me this like a kind of a homemade. Looked like a walkie talkie. And it manipulates the rating system. She showed she's tough. She's a tough girl. I look forward coming in your house. We're gonna turn the radios on. BET show.

[Brady]

I look forward to next year when Ladonna joins.

[John Holmberg]

Ladonna's taking best lead. Pretty soon Ladonna's just going to show up at your house, download my show. Now, I don't think you understand the ramifications if not listening to Ladonna.

[Shane Orlando]

So season four of Reacher started filming in Philadelphia. And in the middle of filming One of the episodes cut walking in on the set. Hunter and Joe Biden. Joe Biden.

Brad Pitt owes his career to a stripper. He's telling a story.

[John Holmberg]

Family. Yeah, let's go to reunion or something.

[Shane Orlando]

Nope. Two stories came out pretty fun. Fact.

[John Holmberg]

Pit news.

[Shane Orlando]

He dropped out of University of Missouri with two credits shy. Drove dented silver dots into Hollywood looking for stardom. He had $300 to his name. Started doing odd jobs like he dressed as a chicken for a fast food joint, waving people in, man, I can. Also drove strippers in a limo to parties.

[John Holmberg]

Brad Pitt's face had to wander hours before he got his big break in Los Angeles.

[Shane Orlando]

So one of the strippers said, tim, hey, I'm going to this acting class with a friend of mine, Charlie Sheen.

[John Holmberg]

I think I've heard that before. That they went together.

[Shane Orlando]

And so he's like, I'll check it out. If it's good enough for Charlie, I'll check it out. And he did. And then one of the girls at the class said, hey, I've got a talent agent that just set me up with an audition. Would you read with me during the audition?

[John Holmberg]

Yeah. Cool world.

[Shane Orlando]

They hired him. Was it for instead of the girl for the audition.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, wow, he got a girl role. Oh, I see she's reading for something else.

[Shane Orlando]

They're like, I like this dude.

[John Holmberg]

You know what's funny is a hunter used to say that all the time too. If it's good enough for Charlie Sheen and then disappear for an hour and come back, start eating like a dozen powdered donuts.

[Shane Orlando]

Kelsey Grammer's expecting baby number eight.

[John Holmberg]

Good God, he's got to be 75.

[Shane Orlando]

70. Katie Walsh is his 46 year old wife right now. She's.

[John Holmberg]

He put it. He put one in a 46 year old. Oh, that's dangerous. That might come out a little bit of a potato. Yeah. And the starchy, hello, little derp. I'm listening. I think he's saying, daddy.

[Shane Orlando]

Another baby. News Machine Gun Kelly revealed the name of his and Megan fox's baby girl.

[John Holmberg]

Tech9dopes named it dope.

[Shane Orlando]

Saga Blade Fox Baker.

[John Holmberg]

Thank you. Dope was better. Real.

[Shane Orlando]

Yeah, see, Dope was better.

[John Holmberg]

Saga Blade Fox. What?

[Shane Orlando]

Saga Blade Fox Baker.

[John Holmberg]

Okay.

[Shane Orlando]

Because his real name is Colson Baker.

[John Holmberg]

Which is a decent name. Saga Brain. What was it again?

[Shane Orlando]

Blade.

[John Holmberg]

Let's go with dope. Dope is better. Saga Brain. Ugh.

[Shane Orlando]

Blade Liquid Death sold 10 empty cans of iced tea that were drunk by Ozzy Osbourne. The sales pitch was, contains Ozzy's DNA.

[John Holmberg]

Oh, God.

[Shane Orlando]

They each sold for 450 bucks. Each sold out immediately. They're hoping Ozzy might drink a couple more. You can auction them off again.

[John Holmberg]

Could have added that to your beer can collection. Should have been all over can. I've. I've gone 52 and a half years dodging Ozzy's DNA. I'm gonna keep. Wow.

[Shane Orlando]

He says Ozzy said he's not afraid. They use his DNA. His comment was clone me, you bastards.

[John Holmberg]

By the way, another amazing Canada stat I was just sent to by Michael Damiano, one of Brett's people. Damiano says, here's a great stat. The last time a Canadian team won the Stanley cup was 1993. An American based team has won their CFL Gray cup football championship since. There's been one of those. Since there's been the last hockey champion. The Baltimore Stallions won the Grey cup in 1995. So the streak is actually longer for the NHL to win a Stanley cup in Canada than it is for the United States to win a Gray cup in their silly football game. We own Canadian football as well technically by that stat. Great stuff. I think I might kind of want to go to war with Canada. I've had it with them.

[Brady]

Little uppity.

[John Holmberg]

Yeah, they're getting a little mouthy. There's only 38 million of them. Wipe them out.

[Brady]

Yeah, we're 10 to 1 right about that.

[John Holmberg]

We take them down pretty fast. Yeah, they can have Quebec. They use metrics. I'm not into that.

[Shane Orlando]

Language would be nice.

[John Holmberg]

What's that?

[Shane Orlando]

Nice extension.

[Brady]

Vancouver's awesome.

[John Holmberg]

Pretty amazing if you just get rid of one thing. The Canadian. I'm for it. We're done. Larry McFeely's coming up next. He's got himself all sorts of stuff, including money for you. Part of his excellent adventure. And that's part of Valley Toyota dealers and Larry's little trip he took a couple weeks ago. He comes back, he goes up, he harvests $3,000 and he gives it to you. He'll give you all the information on how you can win that coming up. In just moments. We're done. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Right here in the morning sickness, Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.
