All right, HMS Podcast, time again to let you know where to go for some great comedy in the Valley this week. For the complete lineups and for tickets, go to standuplive.com desertridgeimprov.com and tempeimprov.com.
Johnny
You'Ve.
Larry
Been deceived by an agent of Satan himself.
Brad
He's evil. Sitting right here. Come on. No, no, he's not.
Larry (occasional interjections)
He's not evil.
Brad
He's just a bit rude. Oh, we're doing a little Aussie tribute for the night of the Singing Dead there. It's going to happen on Halloween up at Desert Ridge. Getting excited about that. Tickets aren't available yet, but they will.
Johnny
Be like the whole night or what you talking about?
Brad
No, no, we're doing, we're doing a segment normally we do like one. We're doing a little three peat there for Oz. It's a big year losing Aussie like that. So he's in there. I can't wait for that. It's going to be fun. And I can't wait. My costume's amazing. Here's the thing about my Halloween costume. This year it's great, but it's prosthetic. There's a lot of glue and every year I do this, it gets harder and harder to take off. Well, Johnny wasn't paying attention to his schedule too well. October 31st, Night of the Singing Dead. Now normally I come out of that thing a mess, plastered glue all over my face. I've got these prosthetics. November 1st, which is the next day. I'm the host of the Loster Home Pet Rescue. Sit, stay brunch at like 11am I'm gonna to. So the costume is going to be disturbing for the charity brunch that I'll be doing the next day. I have to ask them about that. Otherwise I got to stay up all night and scrub this stuff. It takes hours to get that stuff off and it's brutal. But we'll let you know when the tickets go on sale and everything.
Larry
I love you and you don't care.
Brad
You're cops.
Larry
Can't feel it anymore.
Brad
She's here.
Larry
Oh my God.
Brad
Oh my God. Is he dead? Is he dead? Is he dead? Is he. Brady, is he dead?
Brett
No, he's just on vacation.
Katie
Hi, Brett.
Brad
Hi, Katie.
Katie
I thought for sure that this date felt lighter. The chair's empty. That looks better. I think I love what you guys have done with the place.
Johnny
Hi, Katie.
Brad
Yeah, I mean, there's some stuff I.
Katie
Still would move, but what you've done is awesome. Like, you've really. It's like spring cleaning in October. You got rid of a lot of dead weight, Brad. Speaking of hungry granny, how's Grandma Mathias?
Brad
It's not my grandma.
Katie
Oh, it's not?
Brad
No.
Katie
Great grandma. I like that part. I was driving in cause I didn't hear Brady for two days. And I said, he's dead.
Brad
He's dead.
Katie
He's dead. So I drove down and I heard John talking about your grandma crying. Cause you hit her. And I thought I was. I thought. John, that was the funniest thing you said in a long time.
Brad
Thanks, Governor.
Katie
Yeah, the fun part was that I pictured it and she was wrong.
Brad
Oh, there you go.
Katie
I did that. Are you sure he's not dead? Has anyone heard from him? No. Oh, okay. Well, fingers crossed. Oh, no. Unfortunately, with the government shutdown, I have to close the airport. So it looks like Brady's not gonna make it back anytime soon.
Brad
No, no, no.
Johnny
That's a federal shutdown.
Katie
It's not a. I gotta shut down the federal airport then. Well, I think I should get involved a little.
Johnny
Maybe just flights from Ohio or what?
Katie
Probably. That's a good start. And then I'll interstate travel. And then also I want to help out with assisted suicide. Oh, hey, of one person.
Brad
Who?
Katie
Your grandma. She looks.
Brad
You had to ask.
Katie
I saw a picture of her on the Internet. You put her up on your Instagram? And I started thinking, oh, my God, AI's gone too far. That doesn't even look human. Then I realized, oh, it's not bad. It's not AI. That's a real person in a Halloween costume as a corpse. And it wasn't. Turned out she was just at the store or something buying Metamucil and diapers.
Brad
Okay.
Katie
Goodbye, guys.
Brett
Bye, Kitty.
Katie
Let's hope Brady's plane's okay.
Johnny
You didn't sound very earnest in there.
Katie
Is there anybody training for flight up at Embry Riddle again that could fly? Brady be back too far.
Larry
Bye.
Brad
That is not right, Katie. Hop expect her to show up. I didn't either. But Brady's not here. And she loves it when he's not here. She actually likes him. State is lighter, technically. It's time now for the hot releases. And they're brought to you by our friends@newac.unit.com. save thousands, save time. Buy online@newac unit.com. three easy steps. You'll be on your way to that brand new AC unit that may have gotten you through the summer. Got another few days to go before it's officially off for air conditioning, but then that heat comes on. Same thing. And if it ain't working, it ain't working. Be ready for next year. If you got a 10 year old system, you start looking into it and that's the place to go. New AC unit.com Toledo go first. All right.
Johnny
First up today.
Brad
Whoa, sorry.
Johnny
Right there.
Brad
That got me.
Johnny
This actually came out last week, but we didn't get to it during the hot releases because we were busy.
Brad
But go ahead. Sorry. I'm excited. I'm jumping ahead. Go ahead.
Johnny
No, no, no. On Netflix. Monster, this one is for you. Monster. The Ed Gein Story. Starring Charlie Hunnam.
Larry
There's something real dark about you.
Katie
Eddie Keene.
Brad
Edward Gein.
Johnny
Then Brady had mentioned during the entertainment draw that he actually visited the grave to kind of say goodbye to the character.
Brad
Dude got into it too much. Who is it? Charlie Hunnam.
Johnny
Charlie Hu. Sons of Anarchy.
Brad
Only a mother could love you. Oh, this is going to be so. It's probably tons of people already watching. So here's what I'm going to get ahead with. There's. Oh, Ge. Charlie Hun's in too good a shape. I don't think Ed Gein had abs. Maybe. I don't know. It's a different time. There's a. A girl that I can't say who and I can't say how I know, but on Instagram has been one of those. One of those people that says, if you don't agree with me, delete yourself from being like, you know, that kind of. One of those people that, like, if you're. If you're not, no problem.
Johnny
Unfollow me. One of those kind of people.
Brad
Her post was this. And now I'm thinking maybe it's. Maybe she's right. I'm not saying anything he did was right, but I feel sorry for Ed Gein. Like, you don't post that. Keep that in your head. Ed Gein butchered women. Now maybe there's somebody to blame from his past, but for Christ's sake, Instagram didn't need that thought bubble. I'm not saying anything he did was right, but, you know, kind of feel bad for Ed Gein. This is what women do. Scott Peterson went to jail. There's a line around the block of women wanted to marry him. The Menendez brothers. One of them is. Been married twice since he's been in jail. He actually got sick of abroad and divorced her. And he'd never been in a room with her outside of visitation.
Johnny
Trying too hard to go viral.
Brad
This chick watched the Ed Gein thing on Netflix and thought to herself, he's misunderstood. I could fix this. He used to. He is the inspiration for Psycho and Silence of the Lambs. Nothing they did in Psycho or Silence of the Lambs was a unique thought or redeeming. It was. Well, no, it was an Ed Gein copy. Like, oh, he did it. This will make sense to people. You can't feel sorry for Ed Gein. Sorry.
Brett
My buddy just texted. He said it's an effed up show. Disturbing as f. Ed Gein is enough. I know, but I mean, you know, sometimes they sugarcoat stuff, and he's not. Doesn't want.
Brad
I don't think you. Even if you sugarcoat it, it's like, whoa, the dude was. And his mother was horrible to him. But my goodness, isn't that who Anthony.
Brett
Perkins was supposed to be? Yeah, Psycho and Psycho.
Brad
Psycho was. Psycho was him. There's almost every serial killer fake movie Ed Gein has a piece of because all of Silence of the Lambs, like, he's making the skin suit and collecting, you know, bowls out of skulls and, like, making things. He was. Ed Gein was. And he was kind of a little bit off. Little R word they would put him. Probably not down syndrome bad, obviously, but he's, like, spectrumy. Something really wrong with him. I can't wait to watch this. Because Ed Gein's story is he was just a local rube, kind of a dummy. Right? You know?
Johnny
Oh, can't wait to watch on Apple tv. Plus, stop me if you've heard this theme before is the new TV series the Last Frontier. A lone U.S. marshal leads the hunt for escaped convicts in the Alaskan wilderness.
Brad
I'll tell you right now, the picture. That plane's too low. Oh, they crashed a plane.
Johnny
Prison plane. So.
Brad
Oh, it's a prison plane that crashes, and then the convicts get out. Know what happened up there, so I'll be cussing.
Johnny
I don't think so. In this.
Brad
So it's like, alive, but instead of a soccer team, it's just convict or Con Air. It's Con Air and alive combined.
Johnny
Johnny Knoxville.
Brad
Knoxville's in this? They called him Havelock.
Johnny
Looks like he knew.
Brad
Is this a show or a movie Show?
Johnny
I think it's maybe 10 episodes.
Brad
So it's the worst of the worst in a. You know, where are they taking, like.
Johnny
They would in the Alaskan wilderness.
Brad
You would never risk like the biggest baddies in the world in the same spot.
Johnny
So it follows Frank Remnick, lone U.S. marshal in charge of the quiet rugged barrens of Alaska. Remnick's jurisdiction turned upside down when a prison transport plane crashes in the remote wilderness, setting free dozens of violent inmates tasked with protecting the towns he's vowed to keep safe. He begins to suspect the crash wasn't an accident. The first step of a well crafted plan by far reaching and devastating. With far reaching and devastating implications.
Brad
Better movie would be taking all the bad guys and saying we're transferring you and crashing that plane. Just getting rid of them. Yeah.
Johnny
The chair company is on. HBO is a new movie starring Tim Robinson. The guy's been in everything.
Brad
He's a goof.
Katie
I'm very sorry to say.
Brad
Very odd sense of humor on Tim Robinson. It's a big problem. Ron, we are so proud of you. Please put your hands together for your project head, Ron Trosper. Badass dot com. We all know it hasn't been easy for you.
Johnny
There is a massive problem that could.
Brad
Cause mass casualties no matter what has. Is he doing a serious role here?
Katie
We're gonna love to see.
Brad
And it sounds serious. Don't wait for me at the bathroom. I vouched for you to.
Johnny
Kind of a dark comedy.
Brad
Yeah, it looks like.
Johnny
So he works for a chair company and somebody has a. Has a complaint about one of the chairs or something like that. So he's tasked with kind of figuring it out.
Brad
Is Balin back?
Johnny
Balin Out Loud. Season two starts this week.
Brad
Did they beep everything? Because look at the chickens chase after the weaning. So she moved in. She moved in with her boyfriend. I have Tourette syndrome.
Katie
Stupid.
Brad
Tourette syndrome is a neurological involuntary motor and vocal disorder. You're bald, Chuck. Thank you. Just in case you weren't aware, she's very fun. Balin Out Loud is a fun show and it's got a ton of heart.
Johnny
Right.
Brad
Like you fall in love with Balin midway through.
Johnny
It grates on you a little at the start, but once you get into it, it's all right.
Brad
Yeah, her and her dopey boyfriend. It's actually the family. Super nice. Like it's a. That's a fun show.
Johnny
The woman in cabin 10. Remember Keira Knightley? She's back. She stars as a woman who is on a cruise ship. A luxury yacht. Laura Blacklock for a travel assignment. A passenger being thrown overboard late at night only to be told that it didn't happen.
Brad
He's doing a piece for us on the foundation. Oh, there's a guy pierced. An unusual approach to charity. Three days on a luxury yacht. Laura here is going to be spying with us.
Katie
The world awaits with bated breath.
Brad
Was that the girl from Hannah Waddington? The. From the Hitler show downstairs? That's right.
Johnny
All right, so that's out on Netflix this week. The Woman in Cabin 10. Saquon on Prime Video.
Brad
He gets a thing.
Larry
Yeah, I think you should be on the.
Brad
They just followed Saquon around. That's a show.
Katie
Now, Eagle.
Brad
He's a freak. All right. I don't want to get it rubbed in my face. Philadelphia, you got your championship. Leave me alone. I hope the Dodgers kick your ass.
Johnny
This one I'm interested in. John Candy. I like me. I want to see this on Prime Video.
Brad
Didn't Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, this is. His thing was wrong, but he was my friend and I don't want to cry, but when I see him. When you see his face.
Johnny
I mean.
Larry
Who are you?
Brad
I'm a mog. Half man, half dog. Gus Polinsky, polka king of the Midwest. Director of sales, Shower Curtain. He was just, like, the friendliest dude ever. Would it be great if this whole thing was an expose about what a twisted, dark, like, horrible sex fiend John Candy was? He was just so lovable. Planes, Trains and Automobiles. One of the greatest movies ever.
Johnny
So good. We'll skip this one.
Brad
All right.
Johnny
That's all I got.
Brad
Why are you skipping that?
Johnny
Well, it came out in March in theaters, and so it's just out on. It's streaming right now on Prime. It's called the Ballad of Wallace Island.
Brad
Who's in it? You haven't skipped it at all?
Johnny
What was her name? Perry Mulligan.
Brad
No, I'm out. Why didn't you skip that?
Johnny
That's what I was trying to do.
Brad
Should have skipped that one. That's dumb. Holmberg's morning sickness. All right, Brett, what do you got?
Brett
All right, let's start off with new music from Megadeth.
Brad
This is it.
Brett
This is the final Megadeth. So?
Brad
Are you sure?
Brett
That's what he says. This is Tipping Point.
Brad
It's the best we've ever been.
Johnny
Yeah, the one they wanted us to play this morning.
Brad
Check it out. Were we supposed to play it? Why didn't you play my new tune?
Johnny
Where's Dave?
Brad
Right here, dummy. Yeah, I still shred, but I don't shave. There he goes.
Johnny
What a snorkel.
Brad
Dave, I have to breathe, so I wear A snorkel? Yeah. I look like the it clown. He's big on shred. Gotta give it to a 60 plus year old guy for this one. Okay. In the blackest night. Yeah. Like I said, you buried the truth. Here comes the big head. There's no return. Now you cross the line. Push me, I push you back. Get big, boy. When I dip, you dip. We dip. You're never going to be able to hear me. I'll push you back. Back. When I dip, you dip. We dip.
Larry
Yeah.
Brad
He's not playing guitar. Is his hand still screwed up? No, he's playing.
Brett
He doesn't play lead. He's a rhythm guy.
Brad
Ah. All right. It's not what he did when he took me to lunch. Come with me. I'm going to show you I can still shred.
Guest
He has a. A Tik Tok page now. Megadeth. And it's just kind of funny seeing him on Tik Tok, you know, and he's, you know, kind of an older man now and.
Brad
Is he holding a red balloon? Well, why don't you visit me down here? Welcome to Gary. Welcome to Derry.
Larry
Yeah.
Guest
A couple of textures and then his eyes go.
Brad
No makeup. Jesus Christ. What's in the storm drain? It's me.
Guest
Me, Dave Mysterious and Gladys from Weapons.
Brad
Yeah. If anybody's seen that, I love. Yeah, no, it's. I didn't like that movie. Did you like that?
Guest
Oh, I loved it.
Brad
Really loved it. Didn't make any sense.
Guest
Weapons?
Brad
Yeah.
Guest
Are you kidding me?
Brad
I loved it. What were the deals with the guns over people's heads?
Guest
Over people's heads?
Brad
Yeah. One time the house had a big.
Guest
Machine gun floating above it because that.
Brad
Never brought it up again.
Guest
They never brought it up again. It's. It's basically different for each person. And that guy that was having a dream, it was very much into weapons. Yeah, but children as a weapon.
Brad
When the old lady died, another one floating over her. They never talked about it.
Guest
Well, there's some kind of a thing about. Essentially the children are bullets being shot out.
Brad
Right. He's using them as weapons, which I got. But at the same time.
Guest
That's why there's a couple of little.
Brad
Just took too long to get to that thing. I loved it.
Guest
That Aunt Gladys character.
Brad
I gave it 1 out of 5. Scary on the air.
Guest
Oh, come on.
Brad
I didn't like it at all. I thought I liked the first 30 minutes.
Guest
Totally disagree with that.
Brad
Well, we're in a fight. Great. Great. Now I got this to deal with.
Brett
Who's this as new music from Testament. This is Shadow People.
Brad
That's pretty good. I like it better than the new bag. I do too. This one doesn't seem to be trying so far. I like that. I don't know I've ever been a Testament guy. This will get you riding the bike faster. Holy cow. I like that one.
Brett
All right, how about new music from Biohazard? This is Eyes On Six.
Brad
Everybody always says my Dave Mustaine is now the same guy from Love on the Spectrum. Which is very true. He would get very upset about things. Yes. And talk to people very. Oh, this isn't good. It's very similar. Almost all of them are twofers. By the way, if you do an impression, you've got two. If you've got one, just have to find it. Mr. Clean looks great. This band sucks.
Brett
All right, how about All Time Low? This is the weather.
Brad
Is this a real thing?
Johnny
Why do I know them?
Brad
Is it an alternative thing?
Brett
Yes.
Brad
There's a beautiful girl in the vineyard.
Guest
This is where they work now.
Brad
Look at an ice cream shop or a oil change. I can't tell. Diner.
Johnny
I'll stop the world and melt with you.
Brad
It is very modern English. All right. The only thing about this. Let's go to. The girl in the video was gorgeous.
Brett
You want fried pickles with that? All right, let's. Let's do some AI. Because everybody's sending them to me. Here's Soul Biscuit with Nookie.
Brad
It's four fake black guys and a white lead singer. A fake white lead singer. Nookie. Oh, it's the. They covered the Biscuit. I came into this world as a reject. Looking through these eyes, I like all of it better. Everyone that burns has to learn from them.
Larry (occasional interjections)
I think about it.
Brad
Larry, do we still have HD2? We don't do that anymore. But we don't have a. We don't have a second channel. Oh, my God. Radio executives wasted millions, billions of dollars on that.
Guest
We don't. I mean all the other stations.
Brad
How come we don't? I thought all of them had it.
Guest
We never had anything.
Brad
I thought we did. We had a KUPD too. We just never did anything on it.
Guest
Or something that's on one of the others.
Brett
Okay.
Brad
Huh? Either way, we should do all the songs we play. AI Soul. That's fantastic. That's phenomenal. Again.
Brett
All right, let's go to Soul Zombie.
Brad
Oh, nice. Dragula. Right? Telling. There's a whole station waiting for this. This is Dragula AI Redid as a soul song. I want to replace My entire catalog of music with this.
Brett
Dead. I am the one exterminating sun sipping.
Brad
Through the tree strangle in the bree.
Brett
How cool is that?
Brad
Awesome. Very Tarantino. Yeah. Also zeal in our door. Oh, my God. That's the best song I've ever heard. That's awesome. All right, Larry, you get to play. Do you have headphones?
Brett
Oh, we got one more, though.
Brad
Oh, okay. I'm sorry.
Brett
We got our. Our goofy one. I'll let you announce it.
Brad
All right. It's. The song is called with you I gave up my ass by the lovely lady and one of my favorite first names ever, Anita, last name Cox. All right, here we go.
Guest
I love the crackle.
Brad
Yeah, the crackle is always good. It's old. It's old music from that never existed right on a record.
Larry
Every summer, same old scene on the beach with robber hiding behind that damn bush waiting for someone new. But I end up tasting his cucumber.
Brad
What the hell?
Larry
Once again.
Brad
So hold on. She's hiding in a cucumber bush and.
Brett
Yeah, but she tasted his cucumber.
Brad
Was just blowing guys in the park.
Larry
The same routine on the beach with Robert. I get bored and he takes me from behind. Right after I pleased him with my mouth. That shameless man. With you, I gave up my ass rubber. You throw cuz you're too deep until it burns me.
Brad
That should be somebody's prom theme this year.
Guest
What a voice.
Brad
That's fantastic. Excellent work.
Brett
All right, and that brings us to N word or F word, the game that is sweeping the nation. All right, today, this is actually new music from mob deep, and this is against the world.
Brad
All right, Larry, you're taking Brady's place. Mob deep. I won last time, so I get to pick first. Mob deep, I'll say is going to go with angry N word. Okay.
Johnny
I'm taking MFer.
Brad
You're going mother effer.
Guest
Actually, I was going to go the same.
Brad
You can't. Oh, I can't taken. You have to take either friendly N word or just F word.
Guest
F word.
Brad
F word. Yep. All right, here we go. Good luck.
Larry (occasional interjections)
It's just one crumb on the map. One crumb ain't a lot. You happy with that piece? I'm going to need that pie to satisfy my thirst, Pacify my greed for blood, money and power. The fans turn me to a monster addicted to they scream. You have one hitting your life. One second of fame. One of you act up.
Brett
There you go.
Brad
That was mine, right? Yeah, but it was. That's not friendly. He's talking about shooting people.
Johnny
Yeah.
Brad
Yeah.
Brett
He was smooth about himself.
Brad
That is true.
Guest
But it was one of you.
Brad
Okay, we need to add that category. Smooth inward.
Johnny
Smooth inward.
Brad
Okay.
Guest
Like smooth operator.
Brad
That's right. Sarday SA's original song was smooth. N word.
Guest
Smooth.
Brad
N word. But she saw the producer, like. Can we just change one word? Saturday? Sure. What is it?
Johnny
N word to what?
Brad
Operator. I'll try it.
Brett
That doesn't make sense.
Larry
But okay.
Brad
He's a smooth. Nope. No.
Guest
Let's try Operator.
Brett
Try operator.
Brad
I bet it's better. He's a smooth operator.
Katie
You're right.
Larry
Coast to coast. LA to Chicago.

Johnny

Brad
I have heard enough of this. Can you PD.
This episode centers on the crew’s signature irreverent breakdown of new "Hot Releases"—spanning TV, movies, music, and odd internet finds—peppered with off-the-cuff banter, playful roasting, and comedic commentary. The team works through the latest (and some upcoming) streaming series and albums, delves into personal tastes, and riffs on pop culture moments, all while maintaining the show’s brash, conversational tone.
The hosts keep up their signature brash, sarcastic, and boundary-pushing humor—roasting both pop culture and themselves. The episode is raucous, energetic, and heavy on wit, peppered with in-group jokes and over-the-top commentary.
Even without Brady, the HMS crew delivers a packed and playful tour of new streaming series, documentaries, and hard rock albums, punctuated by satire, oddball impressions, and gleefully tasteless musical oddities. From Netflix true-crime to soul-AI covers of metal classics, it's an energetic highlight reel for fans who want to be both entertained and in the know.
