[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.

[B]

All right, HMS Podcast, time again to let you know where to go for.

[A]

Some great comedy in the Valley this week.

[B]

For the complete lineups and for tickets.

[A]

Go to standuplive.com desertridgeimprov.com and tempeimprov.com you've.

[B]

Been deceived by an agent of Satan himself. He's evil. Sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not. He's not evil. He's just a bit rude. Wonder. This is dumb. How'd the B get all mixed up and like dumb and numb, and yet there's one out there that doesn't have a B in the end of it? Why?

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

Like, when I Google search what I want Madison Ivy to do, I don't put a B on it. Why? Where'd the B come from? Should ask this question to teacher. Back in second grade when they were teaching me four letter words. But I wouldn't have had that insight if going. Yeah, but Mrs. Stewart, nobody says with the B. You make a good point, son. Anyway, food for thought, old lady. Continue teaching. It's time now for Brett to entertain us all since Brady's not with us today. Uh, it is called the entertainment drill and it was brought to bear [e-mail] the home of tactical black self defense training. Beautiful day. A lot of people going out, hiking. A lot of. A lot of folks just out and about. And I've noticed one thing about you walkers and exercisers who only do it fair weather. You don't pay any goddamn attention to where you are at any time at all. Bikes can run you over because you've got your earbuds in. One has to come out. Get the meta glasses that just have speakers. So stop making yourself oblivious to your surroundings, especially right now when bad guys recognize there are a bunch of people doing something they haven't done in months. Technically, you are sitting duck when you do that to yourself. Be smarter. Have spatial awareness. Have situational awareness. Understand where you're going and what you're doing. Brett just flipped somebody off out the window. It's hilarious. And you can't defend that at all. That just happened. That's just a thing and that's a deal. You got that going. You never know when Mark Sanchez is parked by either. And that can go sideways too. And that old man did what he needed to do. He defended himself. And in a proper situation. And I still don't know how Mark Sanchez punched a guy in the cheek and went all the way through and cut his tongue without a knife. But we'll get more on that. You just never know when something's going to go haywire. Right down to the fact that a celebrity lost his mind and started beating people up. So even in safe situations, something can go wrong. Just be prepared and be in good shape for it. They'll help you out. ReactDefense.com is the place to go. You're going to get too much training for. It's the price is amazing. The ability to get there as often as you want on your schedule with a bunch of like minded people is the key. It's a great spot to be. Everybody is there to help. Make more sheepdogs. If we have more of them, we won't have to worry about being sheep and we won't have to worry about bad guys as much. Make more sheepdogs. That's the goal. Reactdefense.com it's the home of tactical Black Bull rat.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Entertainment.

[A]

All right, speaking of Mark Sanchez, I mean we all know what happened, but it looks like he's now facing a charge of felony battery involving, yeah, serious but bodily injury. Apparently the altercation was just over a parking space.

[B]

They say yeah, cuz the dude was.

[A]

Which is how good. Which is how Bronx tale started.

[B]

It is how a Bronx tale started.

[A]

I mean. No, I'm just saying.

[B]

And that's how Koso watched.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

The guy shoots.

[A]

It was Joe Pesci at the end.

[B]

In the end he told me he always took care of me. It was one of those things. He took care of me. What was the big. What was his name? Kaloshmo.

[A]

And then Sonny.

[B]

Sonny, yeah. If you haven't seen a Bronx tale he told me, by all means watch it. But you're right, that started over a parking dispute and people died. My friend Mark and I were driving over to Grand Canyon University and naturally, because we were going into the avenues, the thought of murder and mentality of, you know, life and death kind of struck us. I guess mortality talk was what we were having because we were in the avenues and very real possibility. But he even said, he goes because he asked me, he said, did you see the, the couple that shot each other up on like 7th Street a few nights ago was on our citizen app. And he said over it was road rage. And I'm like, I have it. Like what do, what do we think in our heads? Because we're in 2 tons of moving metal, and I think our brain knows that we're in a very powerful box that could be used as a weapon. So we feel impervious, and we know we can't be heard.

[A]

And you're on the west side and.

[B]

That you lose your minds in cars. It's so easy to do, and they can't really figure out why. I know it. So be careful with that stuff.

[A]

Tour. Looking forward to. The Offspring are going to be heading out next year with Bad Religion. I like both bands. I love Bad Religion.

[B]

I was drunk at our beer festival when we had O or Offspring. Yeah, it was fun.

[A]

They're just fun.

[B]

It's a fun. They just. To me, it sounds too much like Weird Al to take seriously, but I do like them.

[A]

Here's some actors, 10 actors that were totally hated by the entire cast. Number one, Jim Carrey. Man on the Moon.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

He stayed in character as Kaufman the entire time, alienating everybody on the set.

[B]

They made a documentary about it, which made me feel like it was all for the documentary.

[A]

Right.

[B]

It was all fake. Bill Murray's another one that everybody hated.

[A]

As a matter of fact, he made.

[B]

The list for Charlie's Angels.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Number 10.

[B]

That's why he wasn't back for Charlie's Angels, too. And he came back black.

[A]

He was replaced. Bernie Mac. Yeah. Other ones, like Lindsay Lohan. Let's see here. Mike Myers.

[B]

Yeah. He's supposed to.

[A]

Cat in the Hat. Wesley Snipes in Blade. Trinity.

[B]

Really?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Well, he had a lot on his mind with the taxes.

[A]

Richard Pryor, actually, in blue collar.

[B]

Really?

[A]

1978. Christian Bale in American Psycho. He was just as intense on camera as when he was off camera.

[B]

Stayed in character.

[A]

That's just how he is, though.

[B]

Except for the murders. Yeah. He strikes me as the type of guy you wouldn't want to hang out.

[A]

Yeah. Shia LaBeouf. He just seems like a c. Anyway, yeah.

[B]

Which movie was that?

[A]

Fury 2014.

[B]

Oh, was that with the.

[A]

The World War II movie?

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

[A]

Jared Leto and Suicide Squad.

[B]

Well, he was the Joker, and he was the worst joker that's ever been.

[A]

He said he really wanted the rest of the cast to be freaked out by his portrayal of the Joker.

[B]

It was terrible. And here's what freaks out about that movie, and I've said it a million times. Margot Robbie dressed up as Harley Quinn.

[A]

Could not.

[B]

And you get bored with it.

[A]

He sent people. Because of. He was doing the Joker. He sent people gifts on studio, on set, like used Condoms, bullets and dead animals.

[B]

Okay, that's just a dick.

[A]

And then everybody's heard this one. Burt Reynolds on Boogie Nights. He apparently, he just needed the money, thought the role would be good and then hated what it was about once it was done, so.

[B]

Oh, it's got nominated for that, if I remember right.

[A]

And he tried to distance himself from that whole thing. Do celebrity birthdays.

[B]

Sure, whatever. It's your thing.

[A]

Mookie Betts turned 33 today.

[B]

He's gonna win a. Win a World Series.

[A]

Brie Olsen. Remember porn star.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Charlie's one of his Charlie Sheen goddesses.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. She turns 39 one year from expired. I think if you're a porn star, I think you get expired early.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Well, it's like. It's like AC units in Arizona, they work a lot harder than your average one somewhere else.

[A]

Here's one that shocked me.

[B]

Taylor Hicks, the guy from America.

[A]

Leno. Yeah.

[B]

He was the dude with a big. Yeah. That gray hair.

[A]

Yeah. Got an age.

[B]

He's got to be 50.

[A]

Oh, good guess. 49. I figured he was 59.

[B]

He thought he was old then. Well, he was on American Idol and they had, like an age limit back then. He just was prematurely gray. And that had to be 23 years ago.

[A]

Well, Steve. Steve Martin was, too, but he just.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't know, Taylor, just. I don't know. Maybe because you just think of Jay Leno.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Tom York from Radiohead. 57.

[B]

What's he looking at?

[A]

I don't even know what he looks like.

[B]

I'm just saying. His eyes. Oh, yeah.

[A]

Never looking at Tony Braxton. 58. See if John Gordon knows this one. Tico Torres.

[B]

Tico from 67. The Journey. 72. Who's Tico Torres with? Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi, that's right. 72.

[A]

What, he was older than the other guys?

[B]

Because how do I sound before Bon Jovi? Trips. Trips. Do I sound older?

[A]

Vladimir Putin, 73 today. John. Cougar Mellon, Camp Tico and Vladimir, the same age.

[B]

This is brought to you by Tactical Butterscotch. It's in my pocket right now.

[A]

Oliver North, 82. Joy Behar, 83.

[B]

She's that old? Yeah, she looks pretty good for 83.

[A]

That's about it.

[B]

We're good. Hi, baby. Happy birthday, John. Thanks, Whoopi. I just couldn't. I can't. Right, right, right, right. Yuck. Anyway, world, and happy birthday, Joy Behar. That's enough for us. We're done. You guys have yourselves a fantastic Tuesday. Larry is going to join you today. And then he's off and running. Isn't he, John? He's leaving. So McFeely is going to be here, and then he's doing an excellent adventure in his brand new truck he's going to run around in. So stay tuned and find out how Larry can give you money for him. Just leaving the building for a few days. That's pretty awesome. McFeely's out. You guys are up. The Jew up show. Day two comes to an end. Not bad. Not bad. Tomorrow, one more day of the Jew Up. And if Katie Hobbs gets her way, it's forever.
