[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 Holmberg here from the morning sickness. Thrilled to tell you about my friends at Turf Monsters. Backyard living space. You either have it or you don't. It doesn't matter if you've got a huge yard or a little one. Making outdoor living space a priority is great for you, your home, your pets. The turf they put in looks amazing. 365 days a year they added in a putting green. I have a beautiful backyard space. My dogs love, that I love. And the script has been flipped. So if you see your yard as a job, stop it. Go to turfmonstersaz.com, say homework sent you and get 10 off your vision. Turfmonstersaz.com you thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it. What the hell is wrong with you pd? All right, before.

[B]

Before we get to me insane before we get going.

[A]

Brady who your Bengals playing without Joe Burrow this week?

[C]

I forget, but it's both.

[B]

You don't rem who your team?

[C]

I know I had it up, but I am.

[A]

Cuz I'm torn between the over here. Who's your team?

[C]

They're playing the Vikings because McCarthy's out.

[A]

Yeah, that's better.

[C]

So I know who you picking?

[A]

Who are you putting in our four team?

[C]

It's at Minnesota. I'm.

[B]

Think it be the first one to pick against his team.

[A]

It looks like he might the Browning D was it Wentz starting for?

[C]

Yeah, my guess would be.

[A]

Okay, go pick something. Jesus Christ, man.

[C]

I'll go Vikings.

[A]

That's right. Geez, we all picked them a half an hour ago. Dale, your cowboys, who's they taking them?

[B]

Well, they're taking on the Chicago Bears. Oh, I'm not so sure. There shouldn't be a little extra on there.

[A]

I think that maybe you two should. No, I won't because I'm going with Dale. We're both going cowboys here. All right, Dale, the cowboys got it. Throw in how many yards Dak Prescott will throw for? We'll throw that in the 14 or.

[B]

The 4 part in the parlay. I don't know how that works, but I bet you he's over under 260.

[A]

Over two goes over 260. All right. My Steelers are playing the Patriots in Foxborough. Yeah, they got this. They're not gonna look. They're not gonna look.

[B]

You might.

[A]

You might be might be surprised from the lone Dog, I gotta. Yeah, yeah. I got to pay everybody on loan. Dump.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

All right. But I.

[B]

And you. And you're.

[A]

I'll take the Cowboys. The Bears haven't showed me anything. Cowboys, Vikings, Steelers. Dak goes over 260. That's our bet for this week. Okay. Now, you're responsible if I hit. Brady hits and the Cowboys win. If Dak goes 250. Yes. That's your. Your addition. Since you.

[B]

I don't like that, but I'll do it. I don't like that. What happens if they jump up 31 to three lead and they just hand them.

[A]

If he doesn't have 250 yards on a 313 lead, we had another thought.

[C]

And you're running. You're running the ball to begin with.

[A]

A good bet Brett and I were talking about before is tonight the Bills are playing Miami, and that's a catastrophe.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

We're wondering if there's a way we can bet that Mitch Trubisky has 50 yards passing in this game. Because probably Josh is going to sit out from the end of the third quarter on.

[B]

Yeah, but are you bringing him in.

[A]

To throw the ball maybe once or twice and somebody breaks it. You know, you got to kill sometime. You can't keep punting. What.

[B]

What Miami two years ago was like on the conversation.

[A]

Yeah. On the verge.

[B]

But you know what's interesting?

[A]

I heard.

[B]

I think it was Dan. It was a Colin Coward saying, so many teams start to take on the personality of the city you're in. Oh, it's a resort town, you know, and it's. It's a resort town.

[A]

It's got the beach and it's got the NBA gambling. NBA looks at Scottsdale and Miami and they say Scottsdale, Miami are undefeated. If a team in the NBA stays here for more than 24 hours, they will not cover the spread because they're saying they're going to Scott. Yeah. They're heading over to Scottsdale and they're going to dick around for. And Miami's worse. They always say that. Well, that's what they say. The gamblers are always saying, Scottsdale, undefeated. So most of those teams don't want to stay for a day. They show up game day, afternoon or the night before at like 10 or 11 at night. And they're like, you guys are curfewed going.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So they don't even allow them out, which is smart. That's brilliant. Anyway, yeah, Miami has got way too many dude. And their coach is kind of fun. So I bet you they're all thinking about clubs and girls.

[B]

He was fun and it was kind of cute and all that when he first got there.

[A]

And now it's like you're no fun if you're losing.

[B]

No.

[A]

Yeah. That's the way that works. It is time now for Brady and Dale, his friend to start the the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by reactdefense.com the home of tactical black self defense training. I got a couple videos from there women's defense seminar on Friday. And man, one of the cool things was they let you you like you can go full 100 kicks on the trainers and punches when they attack you. And the women self if they had hostage they were zip tied teach how to break zip ties and stuff and then fight back. Tony was in the suit, in the big kicking suit and he attacked a girl. She broke free, turned, did her combative moves while Tony's trying to get her. She went to kick him in the balls and her leg flew right past him and kicked Tony in the face. And everybody, this is how cool that place is. Everybody went, yeah. It was a full cheer. The girl won. Tony's protected. He's got gear on but it still put him down. It was awesome. And that girl prior to that like wasn't like like beaming with confidence afterwards. You just see her glowing. It's such a great thing. If you're a woman and you want some self defense training, I'm telling you, there's seminars. You walk in a mouse and you leave a lion. They're amazing. Reactdefense.com they do it all and they'll get you in great shape doing it. Check it out. Reactdefense.com Home Tactical Black Brady Go entertain.

[C]

It seems like most of the movies are remake or reboots or sequels. Here is a list of movies that haven't been touched yet in over 20 years.

[B]

Can I say something?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Movies suck today. 100% suck.

[A]

When's the last good movie?

[B]

I can't. I can't. Well, Tom Cruise.

[A]

Oh, you saw the Maverick. Maverick. Yeah.

[B]

I thought that was pretty good.

[A]

That was fun.

[B]

But other than that.

[A]

I'm with you. But it's a reboot again. Yeah, yeah. Nostalgia. Member Berries. Yeah, I haven't seen anything dirty hairy. Didn't touch it. Won't touch it.

[C]

Haven't Police Academy.

[A]

Yeah, don't do that. They made seven of them. They burned airport. Airport or airplane?

[C]

Airport. 70 to 79.

[A]

Nobody's really clamoring for this. This is just reapers.

[C]

Yeah, they. They haven't Even done a reboot.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Lethal Weapon. But Mel Gibson just announced he's gonna do a number six.

[A]

He did?

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Nobody wants to see it when you burned it out.

[B]

If there have been 3, 4, 5 already. What?

[A]

Like this would make sense if it was movies that were like once, like the last Starfighter and movies that were huge hits and never had a follow up. Maybe you do those. But.

[C]

Smokey and the Bandit.

[A]

No, do not touch Smokey and the Band. By the way, the third one. You can't. You can't do it.

[C]

The Godfather.

[A]

Who's remaking. Yeah, you can't stop it. Remember when they tried to remake the Bad News Bears with Billy Bob Thornton? And I thought, hey, they're on to something here. And all it was was just apologizing for every joke.

[C]

Dale's got a great story, Mariko.

[A]

I do. I seen Dale's face and he got the story. I'm not good. This is gonna be good.

[B]

Martha Stewart has lots of people sliding into her dms. Oh, wow.

[A]

Do you know what that means?

[B]

That's direct messaging.

[A]

Nice. Who replaced Dale with a smartphone?

[C]

Communicating with him.

[B]

Is that on X?

[A]

You're amazing right now. You're killing me with your technology.

[B]

Martha Stewart is a prime example that age is just a number. She turned 84 last year, Johnny. She's still attractive in your eyes. I know you want to add that. Yeah, I know you used to kind.

[A]

Of like you add the 4 and 84 year old. I suppose the fact that she's breathing, I guess makes her a little bit attractive.

[B]

She turned 84 last month and her thirst traps still work. Now, I do not know what a thirst trap is.

[A]

Well, her thirst traps, like if she's looking at something, it gets her juices.

[B]

Does he still have.

[A]

Gives her an old sop sock is what you call it.

[B]

Come on. She says she gets a lot of people sliding her dms, but it doesn't sound like they've gotten anywhere. That doesn't mean she's lonely though. Quote, I'm not dating anybody special, but I have lots of friends that my friends keep me happy.

[A]

She's got friends with benefits.

[B]

Yeah, people go over there, 84.

[A]

Jump on those old bones of that lady on the TV. Oh, that's a good picture. But again, is that a compliment? 484. You're pretty. I mean, compared to what? She's still pretty. Yeah, but again, if you're climbing on an 84 year old, you're a pervert or you got fetishes.

[B]

She actually, actually Looks as good or better now than she did when she's 64.

[A]

Yeah, just in face photos.

[B]

I haven't seen the body.

[A]

Oh, it's just all just mess.

[B]

It looks like you're slide into her DMs, Johnny.

[A]

It looks like it cut a rotten apple in half down there. Oh, wow.

[B]

See, why do you gotta go there?

[A]

Because I'm an honest man. I'm a realist.

[B]

Looking at her face, personality, that's where you look first.

[A]

And if you're attracted to that, you're like, I wonder what the honey hole's like. And then your brain goes, oh yeah, it's got worms and rotten brown bruises.

[B]

Somehow my phone just picked up some of your conversation.

[A]

Oh, did it? Yeah, the sop sock. Yeah, Google it. And then.

[B]

Yeah, and then you're like, it's the apple.

[A]

Yeah. Down south. Looks like part of the banana you'd throw out.

[C]

Evidently Jordan Hudson was going to be on Dancing with the Stars, but she wanted too much control.

[B]

Who's Jordan Hudson? Oh, okay.

[A]

She likes that. She likes control. That's what Bill likes. Bill wants somebody's taken over. Yeah, he's been. You know why? Because he's had the weight of the world on his shoulders for 40 years. Finally somebody else lift and taken Carey for a little while. He's got this control maven. He's not doing anything around the house. You don't care anymore. He's great.

[B]

You see, two college coaches got a fire after two games already. UCLA and Virginia Tech, who's no kidding. You say I lost in New Mexico.

[A]

Wow, that'll do it.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, the Virginia Tech coach got fired too.

[A]

Wow, that's early. That's quitting on it pretty fast.

[C]

That wasn't Beamer's son, was it?

[B]

No, it was the pry or somewhere or something.

[A]

Yeah, a nobody.

[B]

Come on.

They tell the dude, hey, your Tesla's got a body in the back. He goes, all right. And then he finishes his show. He does the show that night in Minnesota or something.
