Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Radio Industry Incompetence & Local Radio Politics

• Radio Timing/Legal Bits
  • Holmberg starts off with some legalese and sponsorship plugs, poking fun at the tedium and technicalities of morning radio logistics.
  • “I’m trying to be better about understanding how radio works. I figure after 25 years, I should probably kind of look at the ins and outs…” (01:15, Holmberg)
• Rival Radio Stations and Ratings
  • Holmberg rails against the management and execs, mocking their lack of industry knowledge and celebrating the slump of a rival station (KDKB) after a brief bump in ratings.
  • “For a little while there, I thought it was close because KDKB had good ratings for a little bit and they were celebrating. And I’m like, this is the end of the world… everything’s back in its place.” (02:10, Holmberg)
  • The crew laughs about the “Mormon Channel” on HD radio outperforming rivals: “HD Mormon indoctrination channel was whipping KDKB’s ass.” (05:03, Holmberg)

2. The Bizarre World of HD Radio & Mormon Radio

• Holmberg takes listeners on a rant about the failure of HD radio and the strange, earnest programming on a local Mormon channel:
  • “If you can figure out your HD radio…click over to 92.3 HD1. They have a Mormon channel, and it’s just Mormons…preach at you and they talk about their beliefs and like, Joseph Smith’s wife and stuff, and how she was kind of a…they’re a little upset at her for being…so she questioned him.” (03:14–03:56, Holmberg)
• Hilarious recounting of listening to a Mormon radio lesson for children—mocking the hosts’ attempts to indoctrinate kids amid apathy and confusion.
  • “The kids are like, they don’t care. Joseph Smith went to Texas. No. Joseph Smith did drugs. No. And they didn’t have any of the answers right.” (04:18, Holmberg)

3. Self-Defense and Situational Awareness

• Holmberg offers up a rare PSA, rooted in real-world violence—a recent viral attack on a train:
  • “There’s nothing wrong with being situationally aware and a little bit prepared just in case... Crazy is near at all times.” (06:00, Holmberg)
  • Memorable advice: “I don’t sit with anyone behind me. ... I just, I don’t want anyone sitting behind me that way. I don’t like that.” (06:49, Holmberg)
  • “That’s one of the worst in 25 years of doing this show. That’s probably the worst video I’ve seen.” (07:51, Holmberg)
• The team links this real-life violence back to their sponsor, encouraging listeners to learn “sheepdog mentality” and basic self-defense.

4. The Charlie Sheen “Fat-Shamed By A Hooker” Story

• Brady Bogen shifts the tone with a wild anecdote about Charlie Sheen:
  • “Charlie was filming a movie in 2000 in Toronto…after they had done the deed, they were laying in bed and she slapped his bare stomach and said, ‘AIDS. What are you doing, fatso? Why don’t you get out and work out a little bit?’ It crushed him.” (08:13, Brady)
• The team explodes with dark humor:
  • “It blew his brains out so much that he wouldn’t have rephrased that. He said, I just wanted to blow my brains out.” (08:43, Brady)
  • The group riff on Sheen’s reaction: “He saw the words, went to an LA doctor, got liposuction done.” (08:53, Brady)
  • “Now I won’t have to deal with it anymore because he’s celibate. And HIV is going to keep that weight off.” (09:15–09:20, Holmberg)
  • “Magic has the ‘how to fatten up with HIV’ diet.” (09:32, Holmberg)
• The tone turns almost gleefully tasteless as they riff on AIDS, former NBA star Magic Johnson, and Sheen’s celebrity persona—true to the show’s dark comedic edge.

5. The Show’s Winding Down: Liquid Death, Spinal Tap, and Total Absurdity

• The hosts wrap up with a goofy exchange about “Liquid Death” (a canned water brand) and a Spinal Tap tie-in—it’s undeniably an inside joke that morphs into self-parody.
  • “What’s it called, that liquid death stuff? ... I wish you would have said liquid paper. You, sir. Look at him over there. He’s loving that last one.” (10:07–10:42)
• Recurring jokes include Brady’s penchant for repeating himself and the team teasing him as he struggles to land the last story.
• The segment ends in a comically abrupt way, poking fun at themselves: “We gotta get that pig kidney in him. He’s only good for four hours.” (10:55, Holmberg)

Transcript

[A]

You're listening to the HMS Podcast, brought to you by MMP Guns.com, your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories. It's John Holmer here for the amazing people at the Core Institute. Getting used to chronic pain is something that we can all find ourselves doing and not realize we're doing it. And I needed four procedures. I had a lot going on. Two shoulder replacements and yes, at my age, even two hip replacements. But you know what? I'm better today than I've been in 20 years. And now I'm back. Basketball, pain free. Running, pain free, throwing a baseball or football, pain free. And I can box again. It's exciting because I look forward to the things I love. You don't have to live with pain anymore. Go to the core institute.com another Gordon's up my ass. About time now professional plus nine minutes. Buddy, you better fix this.

[B]

Id went off on time.

[A]

Yeah, it's exactly. No, that's coming up. I written the wrong thing. Oh, you did?

[B]

Oh, I run it again real quick.

[A]

You know what? You're right. Why not? Yeah, I'll do it again. Sorry, this. This we have to do legally. No studios.

[B]

My clock says 10. Oh, that's right.

[A]

We got it right on time. That's. That one particularly is supposed to run right at 10. I'm trying to be better about understanding how radio works. I figure after 25 years, I should probably kind of look at the ins and outs of this thing.

[B]

Stop flaming out, man.

[A]

Yeah, well, it's the bosses up there in the bigwigs. The Bob's.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

He doesn't know what he's doing. I don't no idea how this works. And I know for a fact you don't.

[B]

You're welcome.

[A]

None of them, they've all been at the helm of destroying this industry. So I know they don't know what I'm doing. So I guess if I'm going to argue that I know for a fact they don't, I don't want to give them ammunition that I don't either. So I'm trying to be better. And we're supposed to be off 15 minutes ago. So all this doesn't matter is that.

[B]

Legally we're supposed to be out of here at 9:45 probably. Damn.

[A]

The other shows. Yeah, everybody else leaves at 9:30.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And people are talking about. They emailed me and said, oh, the end of the world this, the end of the world that. That guy's predicting September 23rd and 24th. And I'm like, Look, I happen to have been around for a little bit. I'm pretty good at gauging things. I know what the end of the world looks like. And for a little while there, I thought it was close because KDKB had good ratings for a little bit and they were celebrating. And I'm like, this is the end of the world. And then the ratings came out yesterday, and it's right where it belongs. It's horrible again. So I'm like, oh, no, everything's back in its place. This is normal. Nothing worse. When they have a little spike and they get smug for a few days and start giving each other trophies.

[B]

And the core cooled down in the earth.

[A]

Yeah, everything.

[B]

Yeah, for a minute there, everything settled down.

[A]

Yeah. I was waiting for the doomsday clock to get closer, and I'm like, this is a thing like Katie, KB in the top five. That's. You gotta watch your ass. Something crazy is going on. And then they dropped way back again. Like, you know the Mormon channel? That's on 92.3, HD2 was better than them. The God show? No. Have you listened to the Mormon station?

[B]

No.

[A]

You have HD radio. That's another thing radio executives got behind. That's still around, tried to destroy radio.

[B]

Huge.

[A]

Spent millions of dollars on that and then didn't ever use it because they realized they were dumb. And they still. And now all of them, for some reason, you talk to any radio executive like, oh, that was a terrible idea. I'm like, you were all in charge when that was going to. Not one of you said no. 92.3 still uses it. I swear to you. You want to listen to insanity? If you can figure out your HD radio, which is again, the biggest piece of nonsense ever put forth by the radio industry, click over to 92.3 HD1. They have a Mormon channel and it's just Mormons I've heard a little bit of. And they preach at you and they talk about their. Their beliefs and like, Joseph Smith's wife and stuff, and how she was kind of a. Like, they're a little upset at her for being. So she questioned him.

[B]

One of the wives.

[A]

Well, the one that questioned him about whether he found these tablets or not. The plates.

[B]

They had killed her, didn't he?

[A]

There's stories and they're kind of like, well, Joseph wasn't wrong. I mean, she was pretty lippy.

[B]

I thought he brought her out in the middle of town and she ended up getting stoned.

[A]

Or, oh, my favorite one was when, well, he killed because he annoyed People that's. Oh, yeah. And they try to make it seem like he was a martyr, but it was just pissing everyone off. My favorite one is I listened to it and they had like a group of like 5 year olds in the room. And then what happened? And the kids are like, they don't care. Joseph Smith went to Texas. No. Joseph Smith did drugs. No. And they didn't have any of the answers were right. And went to Dutch brothers. Went to Dutch brothers. And they shut up when I'm talking to you. No. And this guy tries to teach and indoctrinate these little kids right live on the air. And it's awesome because the kids are not interested. They got a couple of the words right, but they don't know the plan. Oh, it's so good. But listen to that lunacy. But that was beating Katie KB in HD station.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

HD Mormon indoctrination channel was whipping Katie KB's ass. His meters must be. So that's when I was like, oh, all is right in the world again. And I noticed they're kind of quiet today for a little while. They're getting pretty loud in the hallway. And here we are chugging along. We're here like a runaway train. We're like, you know, expected to be where we are. And then they have these huge celebrations when the other places goes out. And it's nice.

[B]

Good.

[A]

And case likes is good. They've always been good. But Katie KB gets under my skin. Brady, it's time now for you to entertain us all. It is brought to you by our friends@react defense.com, the home of tactical black self defense. And again, Jay always says this up there. I hate to use fear as a reason for you to go check out self defense classes, but if you've watched that video and it's probably not going to happen to you. But that is a perfect example of you just don't know what's out there waiting for you. Crazy is near at all times. And there's nothing wrong with being situationally aware and a little bit prepared just in case, I don't know that that thing on the train in North Carolina could have been stopped.

[B]

Right.

[A]

You know, it's just such a random crazy thing what can be done. And we've done this drill before where after an attack, they teach you how to hold a wound. We had doctors in there, like heady super brain surgeons. They're like, here's how you do that. If this. And he had a dummy in there, it would bleed out. And you put your Fingers and you find the artery and you do that really quick. With her teacher it takes about five seconds before you're like aware it happened. Dizzy and dead. It's amazing what a, what a jugular or carotid artery cut will do. And that's what those dudes, they come out of prison, they train to cut your inner thigh and your throat. So it's horrible to think of your like to be so cynical to think that that's where the world is. But I have learned and I can tell you this with and I use it every day. If I'm ever on a bus, if I have to go from like an airport parking lot to something else, I don't sit with anyone behind me. That's because of react defense. It's a weird thing. Your brain changes. I just, I don't want anyone sitting behind me that way. I don't like that. I don't know this guy. I'm trapped here. I can't fight back. If he goes crazy, I can't fight back. It's an awful way to think. But you see stuff like yesterday you're like, had that girl just sat one row up or sat over another direction, didn't have anyone behind her or missed the train. Yeah, the guy might have still tried something, but he would have had a longer walk. She set herself up as a victim. It's terrible to think that way. But it's a different mindset you have. And I don't know that I wouldn't have sat in front of somebody on that. Just thinking, this is fine. You never know. And that's the key. They teach you that first try to find a way around this crazy mixed up world. And that's one of the worst in 25 years of doing this show. That's probably the worst video I've seen.

[B]

That's a bad one.

[A]

It's just awful. There's just uncalled for nonsense. So you can check it out. Just be a better version of yourself again. That sheepdog mentality, it's not going to stop everything. But man, you can be just a little bit mentally stronger and a little bit smarter than you thought you'd be in a little bit more cynical. Unfortunately that kind of goes with the territory. It's reactdefense.com. it's the home of tactical Black Brady Entertainment.

[B]

We've got another tale from the book of Sheen. Charlie was filming a movie in 2000 rated X. It was called Is in Toronto. He's with his brother Emilio Estevez and he decided to hire Himself a lady. And after they had done the deed, they were laying in bed and she slapped his bare stomach and said, aids. What are you doing, fatso? Why don't you get out and work out a little bit? It crushed him.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So it blew his brains out so much that he wouldn't have rephrased that. He said, I just wanted to blow my brains out.

[A]

Oh, there you go. But he.

[B]

He saw the words, went to an LA doctor, got liposuction done.

[A]

Yeah, well, good for him. Whatever makes you tick.

[B]

Geez, you made that dark quick.

[A]

It blew his brains out and then he recovered.

[B]

You heard me.

[A]

These stories aren't made up.

[B]

Said he put kind of the pounds back on a little bit when he was sober. Going through.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

First round.

[A]

Hey, we all have a battle.

[B]

But now I won't have to deal with it anymore because he's celibate.

[A]

And HIV is going to keep that weight off. It didn't work for, well, Magic. We all. We all call them oj. I know you did. You had one this morning. Yeah, Magic. Magic has the how to fatten up with HIV diet.

[B]

Knocked down liquid death, produced 11 packs of. What's it called? Liquid Death.

[A]

Show's over.

[B]

It's a perfect way to end a Wednesday. That's it. Good night, everybody.

[A]

Yeah, just say good night. That's enough. Yeah, that's easy.

[B]

What the rest of the story is.

[A]

What's it called, that liquid death stuff? What's that? Oh, yeah, liquid. I wish you would have said liquid paper. You, sir. Look at him over there. He's loving that last one. You don't have anything better than that?

[B]

No, we're all done.

[A]

Let's go home. You want to finish that? Because we all need to know something.

[B]

They're limited packs for Spinal Tap.

[A]

Of what?

[B]

Liquid Death. I think that's what it's called.

[A]

What movie was that? Spinal Tap. What was that?

[B]

Spinal.

[A]

What do you call that?

[B]

Oh, Liquid death. Spinals.

[A]

I like that. Brady was laughing at it, too. I don't know what just happened. We gotta get that pig kidney in him. He's only good for four hours. Larry's coming up next.

[B]

How's he gonna follow that?

[A]

He's not. Come on, play the hits and give away money. Yep. All right, we're done. You guys have a great Wednesday. We're going to put Brady to sleep. It's 98. It's out of control now.
