Transcript

[Larry McFeely]

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, it's Larry McFeely here with my friend Wayne from AMCO.

[Wayne]

Let's talk about back to school TLC for your car.

[Larry McFeely]

Larry, the last thing anyone needs right now is to start the school year with car troubles.

[Wayne]

Yeah, makes sense.

[Larry McFeely]

What should people do? Head to your closest amco. We specialize in back to school auto repairs for the busy school season. Plus we have a back to school discount for students and teachers.

[Wayne]

Yeah, but do you need to make an appointment?

[Larry McFeely]

Not at all. Just pop into your nearest AMCO or book online.

[Wayne]

Now that's convenient. Google AMCO for your nearest location. That's Amco Double A, MCO transmissions and.

[Byron]

A whole lot more.

[Larry McFeely]

And remember, AMCO proudly supports Operation Hydration. Hey, Byron, I was [e-mail]'s website. You have everything, and the prices are incredible.

[John Holberg]

Yes, sir. Mmpguns.com has over 400,000 products for sale daily. Everything from firearms, ammunition, accessories, optics, clothing, decoys, and more. The best part is, if you see it on our website, it's in stock and ready to ship.

Nope. We work with all our distributors, so what you see on our site is what's actually available. We ship all over the country, so we're not just for Arizonans anymore. If the firearm you want is legal in your state, we can get it to a dealer for you to pick up.

[Larry McFeely]

Sounds simple. That's why I always go to MMP guns.com it's John Holberg here from the Morning Sickness.

[Wayne]

And it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of my home group. And Doug hopkins.com I tell you about the house down the street from me that has had a for sale sign in the yard for three months now. In fact, it's the fourth different sign. They've got a new realtor all the time. I do know this, though. They wouldn't be dealing with all this stress if they'd have just called TVs Doug Hopkins. Because he's more than a guy buying your house. He makes an offer for your house, cash. As is, you don't have to do anything. The deal is over. So all you got to do is start the process online@doug hopkins.com or sing.

[Dale Hellestray]

Hopkins 1, 800, now Holmberg's Morning Sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail.

[Wayne]

All right. Dale Hellestray. Three time world champion Dale Hellistry is here.

[Dale Hellestray]

Well, that sound.

[Wayne]

Doesn't that sound good? I do like saying that. I gotta be honest with you. That's. I would.

[Dale Hellestray]

Well, you got. See the trophy from the one we got against.

[Wayne]

It's so much smaller than I thought. I was actually disappointed.

[Dale Hellestray]

You were not.

[John Holberg]

I was.

[Wayne]

I.

[Dale Hellestray]

You were polishing that like it's your finest jewelry.

[Wayne]

I was spitting on it. Johnny there was, like, the real Lombardi I've seen.

[Dale Hellestray]

It's not that much bigger than that.

[Wayne]

It's a lot bigger than that. Little. You could wear that around your neck. It's like one of Brett's Italian horns.

[Dale Hellestray]

You partially tore your bicep picking it up.

[Wayne]

You throw that. By the way, before we move on, somebody said, does Dale understand how science works? And I think we all know the answer to that question, but he said. So you're saying, Dale, that a Chihuahua has the same size butthole as a Weimaraner?

[Dale Hellestray]

No, I'm saying that Holberg has the same size butthole as Brady.

[Wayne]

No.

[Dale Hellestray]

Yes.

[Wayne]

Why? Maybe we're close enough.

[Brady]

Based upon size.

[Wayne]

Like a little person. And Shaquille o'.

[Dale Hellestray]

Neal.

[Wayne]

Yeah. Mine would just be bigger.

[Brady]

Maybe a little bit bigger.

[Larry McFeely]

Do your neighbors have the same size as you?

[Wayne]

Good lord, no. Oh, the damage. Oh, the horror.

[Dale Hellestray]

Let's line them up.

[Wayne]

I already know for sure that there's a different thing going on there, but, yeah, tiny people have probably smelled like. He's right. A Chihuahua's butthole and a Weimer. They're both dogs.

[Dale Hellestray]

I don't know what a Weimer is.

[Wayne]

A weimer on her. It's a. Like a. Like a Doberman.

[Dale Hellestray]

Okay.

[Wayne]

I.

[Dale Hellestray]

Totally. Different dogs.

[Wayne]

Their poops are different. A woman's butthole is not the same as a man's butthole, is it? Well, maybe my neighbors. It's true, though.

[Dale Hellestray]

Okay.

[Wayne]

Am I wrong?

[Dale Hellestray]

I don't. I don't think it was. Well, we got. We have an expert.

[Wayne]

Oh, yeah. Hey, Nash, come on in here. Tell us about your butthole expertise. Better not ever. Sit down. He's a company man. Yeah. So. No, Dale doesn't understand how science.

[Dale Hellestray]

I don't know science.

[Wayne]

Before we get to the entertainment, Joel, got to say thank you to Ron Riddle of Eco Pan. Now. He just emailed me as well. He said, got three more pallets dropped off in the front of your place. Let's get to that. Million. Thanks for being awesome. Well, thank you, Ron, for being awesome. That's pretty amazing. Dropped off three more. You got A good truckload today out there. Nice little group.

[Dale Hellestray]

How close are we?

[Wayne]

Very, like, after today, I would guess we're probably at about969. I don't know how the math works on what, three pallets plus this few thousand more. So we'll be probably at 950 or 960 going in. Million was the goal. Thought we hit it last week, but then I overestimated. How much is.

[Larry McFeely]

Do it next week.

[Dale Hellestray]

Okay. So I. I guess I shouldn't take some.

[Wayne]

You got stop taking the waters now.

[Larry McFeely]

We'd have been there already if it.

[Wayne]

Wasn'T for Tiny over here. Jackass walks out with a case. Nobody's donating to you.

[Dale Hellestray]

They're sitting here.

[Wayne]

I thought that. They're not just sitting there. They have a destination. And it isn't your house. Anyway. Ron Riddle will guarantee that Dale doesn't steal any of your waters either. Jackass. It's time now for the entertainment drill.

[Dale Hellestray]

Were you gonna ask me about the Cowboys? Are we just gonna blow that?

[Wayne]

We talked about it off there? Nobody cares about that. It's like the wnba.

[Dale Hellestray]

Everybody cares.

[Wayne]

What do you care about the Cowboys?

[Dale Hellestray]

I really don't. I. I don't cheer for them.

[Wayne]

What do you think of Shador Sanders up there in the Cleveland.

[Dale Hellestray]

He's killing it, isn't he? Well, he's starting this week.

[Wayne]

He has to. Flacco isn't playing. Kenny Pickett's hurt. They said Dylan Gabriel's the worst quarterback they've ever seen in a camp. They brought in another guy, Tyler Huntley.

[Dale Hellestray]

Yeah.

[Wayne]

And they're like, all right, let's get him up to speed. Snoop. That's right, Snoop. And Snoop's going to be there, too. It's going to be Flacco, Snoop, probably.

[Brady]

Snoop's going to fit in Shador and whatever.

[Wayne]

And they're going to jettison Kenny.

[Dale Hellestray]

I mean, Kenny, come on.

[Wayne]

Hilarious, tiny hand.

[Dale Hellestray]

No, but the Parsons, real quick. The one thing that I agree with Jerry is that we don't know what the offer is.

[Wayne]

Keep in mind no one asked Dale a question.

[Dale Hellestray]

We don't know what the offer is.

[Wayne]

Yeah.

[Dale Hellestray]

Is it fair? We don't know. Does he want to be paid one more dollar than TJ Watt?

[Wayne]

He said no one's contacted his agent.

[Dale Hellestray]

But they haven't even gone with Mike and Jerry. I'm just saying, were the numbers fair or it's. It is.

[Wayne]

It's just dumb. If he's playing a game to get attention, he's. It's costing him against the cap. $5 million that he didn't have to spend.

[Dale Hellestray]

Yeah, but he's getting all this airtime.

[Wayne]

Yeah, but still. Oh, that's true. He's there. So the team gets the attention. Yeah, he's. There's something's wrong with Jerry. And you're in, though. You're in Al Davis mode with.

[Dale Hellestray]

Hey, the further they get away from the 90s, the better we become.

[Wayne]

The better your 90s team.

[Dale Hellestray]

Yes. Yeah.

[Wayne]

All right, that's enough. There you go. I wish you were on that. Bill's team. They were chucking dildos in. It's time for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our [e-mail] the home of tactical black self defense training. Get on board. Hop on there and start making yourself a little bit stronger, a little bit smarter. Get your awareness up. Start becoming a sheepdog and stop being a sheep. The key to self defense is knowing what's around you at all times and having escape plans or having plans of what's going to happen if you can't escape. And that's what they teach up there. You'll get in good shape. Cardio is amazing. And you'll learn a lot about yourself, too. Price is ridiculous. Two months, 199 bucks for personal training. That happens nowhere else. And the training you get also happens nowhere else. It's the best in the world. It's reactdefense.com the Home Tactical Black Brady Entertain Me.

[Brady]

Ed Sheeran says there are many professional singers who lip sync but would never admit it. He's like, he could never get away with it because it's just him and a loop pedal and a guitar.

[Wayne]

Yeah. Plus he's kind of not really forcing out upon. He doesn't sing so hard. It's going to hurt him. It would be dumb to lip sync yourself.

[Brady]

Someone did a list of songs that rock bands have performed over their touring time over the years. How many times have they played this song?

[Wayne]

Oh my God. Like Aerosmith and Dream on Aerosmith.

[Brady]

They did Walk this way.

[Wayne]

Okay.

[Brady]

1761 times.

[Wayne]

That's low. I'd have figured it was a lot more than that.

[Brady]

TNT, AC DC 1588 times. That's also the highest one on the list of the tenant I have is schools out. Alice Cooper. 3,090 times.

[Wayne]

Yuck. And 3,089 of them. Nobody wanted to hear it.

[Dale Hellestray]

Now why can you say that? And you don't get any pushback. Alice Cooper's a rock and roll hero. The legend.

[Wayne]

All right.

[Larry McFeely]

There we go.

[Wayne]

All Right.

[Dale Hellestray]

You guys don't know music.

[Wayne]

See, I'll just let it rest right there.

[Brady]

Speaking of, Dale has a great story.

[Wayne]

Go ahead, Dale, tell your story.

[Dale Hellestray]

Still don't get it.

[Wayne]

You talking about masks?

[Dale Hellestray]

The flowers from Ozzy's memorial will be turned into mulch. It may seem like a pointless gesture to leave flowers at a public memorial for celebrity, but not for that dear, sweet Ozzy Osbourne. According to report, the flowers left for Ozzy at a makeshift memorial in Birmingham, England, will be mulched and scattered by his private grave.

[Wayne]

That's nice.

[Dale Hellestray]

Estate in Buckinghamshire. He was laid to rest last week.

[Wayne]

Can you do an English accent?

[Dale Hellestray]

Dale, why would you want to be buried? Or why, as a family, would you want a quote, unquote loved one buried in your yard? That's weird.

[Wayne]

Like your yard.

[Brady]

Yeah, he's got some acres.

[Wayne]

Yeah, he's got some space. And in England, it's different. Like, you just used to stuff people in the. Like you were part of the. The plot of land on your land. All yours. So it kind of makes sense. This is.

[Dale Hellestray]

The dedicated team is supposedly working around the clock to sort and process the thousands of items left by fans.

[Wayne]

Yeah, that's nice.

[Dale Hellestray]

And the thousands of notes and memorabilia left behind will be preserved and cataloged. How many?

[Wayne]

You think you're just jealous? No, I mean, I'm sure I'll have.

[Dale Hellestray]

A bunch of flowers.

[Wayne]

No, they're gonna have to mulch all the dildos that get thrown at your casket. Do you want a big funeral?

[Dale Hellestray]

Yeah, I want everybody there. I want everybody to cry, and then I want everybody to have fun.

[Wayne]

Okay. Well, I hate to break it to you. It's not gonna be big.

[Dale Hellestray]

You'll be there.

[Wayne]

I'm not going.

[Dale Hellestray]

Are you going before me?

[Wayne]

No. I'm probably not gonna go to your funeral. It seems it's probably hot out.

[Brady]

Dale's tombstone will have cool. Two little metal towers with electric going across.

[Wayne]

Oh, yeah. And then it says, dale, hell astray. It was alive. Frank and Dale, you do want a big funeral, though, for real. Do you want to get buried or cremated?

[Dale Hellestray]

Cremated, yeah.

[Wayne]

That's the way to go. Where do I get to scatter you? I'll scatter you. Where do I get to throw you?

[Dale Hellestray]

Pebble beach.

[Wayne]

You went on the course or on the beach?

[Dale Hellestray]

No, on the course.

[Wayne]

I think that's illegal. I don't think in the bathroom.

[Dale Hellestray]

Really? You can't. You can't put. You can't. You can't put it in your golf bag. And on the 18th holes, you're plate.

[Wayne]

I'm not going to carry you around in my pocket in the sand.

[John Holberg]

In the sand trap.

[Brady]

That'll be easy.

[Dale Hellestray]

Yeah.

[Wayne]

I will put you. You know what?

[Brady]

We'll fill our divots with the air.

[Wayne]

That's not a bad idea. Yeah, I. That's a good idea.

[Dale Hellestray]

You guys don't make divots.

[Wayne]

Oh, this critique we'll do. We'll get chunky that day. By the way, Brady, let's not. Don't make plans that you're going to be on this trip. It's just. Okay. I don't want to. I don't want to be disappointed twice. I'm calling my shot. I'm gonna have so much sand in my pockets walking around with you two in each side.

[Dale Hellestray]

That's the other guy. I have a hundred dollar bet with.

[Wayne]

Nash is one. You have one.

[Dale Hellestray]

And look at him. I got him beat by a mile.

[Wayne]

Nash will outlive you.

[Dale Hellestray]

No, he won't.

[Wayne]

Unless he falls off a ladder or something. Nash will outlive hypertension.

[Dale Hellestray]

Look at this.

[Wayne]

He does. He is kind of bright, right? Yeah, he's got a little bit of a Flintstone thing going.

[Dale Hellestray]

Yeah.

[Wayne]

Jesus. Is a tight battle between the three. I'm not taking any of these fanduels. Brett, you win. Happy birthday, Brett.

[Larry McFeely]

Thanks, Brady.

[Wayne]

Oh, right. As we're leaving, 10th caller, 585-9800 is going to get the Pantera tickets that we talked about earlier. Oh, that's good stuff. Tv.

[Larry McFeely]

Brady and his cancer now with this.

[Wayne]

Yeah, I know. Nobody cares anymore about your cancer. They got personal things to deal with now. There you go. If you call us up, bigger prizes. Brett will get you in there, you get yourself the Pantera tics and then a chance to be a Pantera security and walk him on stage coming up here in a couple of weeks. And then hang out in the photography pit and watch the show. That's amazing stuff we're handed away right now. 5859, 800 don't work.

[Larry McFeely]

If Dale keeps talking crazy about Ozzy, he's gonna need a funeral a lot sooner than he thinks.

[Wayne]

Yeah, Dave's gonna win that bet real fast. That's it. Anything going on for you, Dale, this weekend?

[Dale Hellestray]

Got nothing going on. Little golf.

[Wayne]

All right. There you go. Brady. No going nowhere. You going nowhere.

[Larry McFeely]

Just going to roosters.

[Wayne]

Rooster ship. We'll talk about that tomorrow. I'm just seeing if you guys had anything today.

[Dale Hellestray]

What time is that?

[Wayne]

It's at nine.

[Dale Hellestray]

That's late.

[Wayne]

You should take a nap in the middle of the day. Pop over. I think K Ray's gonna try to go. Yeah, go with Kevin Brady. Go with him.

[Dale Hellestray]

Back from Italy?

[Wayne]

I don't know. He was. He texted me from Italy. I don't know when he's there and when he's not. I know he'll be back soon. That's it for us. We're done. Larry's coming up next. You guys have yourselves a fantastic Thursday. We'll see you tomorrow in the morning sickness. Hello.

[John Holberg]

It's not weird.

[Dale Hellestray]

It's pretty cool actually.
