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 Brett Vesely and I'm here with Byron from MMP Guns. Look, Byron, I have a friend wanting to sell some guns he inherited. What's the best way for him to do that?
Byron
Brett, the last thing you want to do is sell the gun to someone who can't legally own one. Tell him not to put himself at risk and come into M and P Guns where he'll get a fair offer and he can rest easy knowing it's not getting into the wrong hands.
Brett Vesely
Okay, but what if he lives out of state?
Byron
Easy. Legalgunbuyer.com and he can do it online. It really that simple?
Brett Vesely
There you have it. MMP Guns or legalgunbuyer.com the safe and legal way to sell your firearms.

Morning sickness. The old method of treatment for a person in this condition was to throw him in jail. Now it's just tick, tick, tick. The man is not. I hope that Christian guy gets back to you. Otherwise, are you just going to take the loss? No, you're going.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
I think Lisa's cousin might go with me.
John Holmberg
So now you got Lisa's cousin on the hook. Is he going to pay for plane tickets and rooms?
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
He said he's using his southwest point, so yeah.
John Holmberg
So you get free tickets. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Offset the cost a little bit.
John Holmberg
Just crush one of the things. Yeah, that's pretty good. And he's got to get your room.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
We're talking about getting the late flight.
John Holmberg
So potentially you're going to be standing in an airport watching a plane leave. I'm getting a call tonight at 11. Yeah, I'll just work remote. I have my Laptop.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
I just plan on doing that to begin with.
John Holmberg
We're.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
We'd catch the 4:30.
John Holmberg
We're down here on a street called Sepulveda and we're stay at the Jungle Six. We're not sure what that is. Jungle Six rooms are $12 a night. We're gonna stay here. Hourly rates though, it's pretty reasonable.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
It's a full bed.
John Holmberg
Yeah, it's down here by the forum. It's not bigger than a twin. It's a cousin. We're good. We're good. Anyway, it's time for the house.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
He's not a.
John Holmberg
He's not a weirdo, not a schlub. I liked all the callers better and I like Thriller. I'm surprised. Thriller. Thriller. Turning you down was a bit shocking.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
I gotta be honest. It was for me too.
John Holmberg
Now he made a big deal to basically be like. No, it was like. Tripp was nicer about it.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Kind of, yeah.
John Holmberg
Village didn't like you.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
I don't know if he's not baseball fan or whatever.
John Holmberg
World Series. I'm not a soccer fan. I'd go to a World cup game. Not in his seats, but like decent seats. You get sweets to the World Cup. Look, I went to a Phoenix Rising game, a playoff game. Just see what it's about. It was all right. I don't like the game.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Where's the stadium?
John Holmberg
Well, that was when the stadium was over off of the 101. Oh yeah. And now it's at the Greyhound park.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
That's where it is.
John Holmberg
It's right up the street on Washington. Here.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Oh, wow.
John Holmberg
I went to a WNBA championship game.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
You were there?
John Holmberg
I've been to a couple WNBA games. You know, I don't like to say I hate it unless I've seen it. World cup might be interesting. At least as far as the atmosphere. I've been to some stuff. It's the hot releases. They're brought to you by our friends@newacu.newacunit.com. save thousands, save time. Buy online@newacunit.com. get that AC looked at, fixed. If you think you've got a 10 or 11 year old unit and you're looking at it saying be proactive, be smart and get that done now. And put Holmberg in that code and you're going to get another thousand bucks off. How about that new AC unit.com? we don't have a TV show without the visuals.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
It'll be a very quick streaming thing. Go ahead down. Cemetery Road is on Apple tv. Plus it's another mystery Thriller starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson. They are. It's an adaptation of a novel set in quiet. In a quiet suburb in Oxford. The series picks up after a house explodes and a local girl subsequently goes missing. Wilson plays Sarah Tucker, a concerned neighbor who becomes obsessed with a disappearance, and Thompson plays Zoe Bohm, a private investigator. Sarah enlists to help her. As the two dig deeper into the case, they find themselves at the center of a vast conspiracy. So you can start watching that tomorrow on Apple tv.
John Holmberg
Plus, did you. Did we do a thing in the hot releases about that documentary where the guy's saying that our nuclear defense system sucks?
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Yeah, that was. It's a new movie.
John Holmberg
Oh, it is, I think.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Yeah.
John Holmberg
And there. And so he's going on this tour now, basically saying, oh, I don't know about that. Maybe we might be able to stop 40% of nuclear. And we brag that we could knock them all out.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Well, that's. That Catherine Bigelow movie is supposed to be exploiting that because it's in that movie. It's one rogue missile fired by a rogue nation, and it causes chaos.
John Holmberg
But how about. Shut up.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
That too.
John Holmberg
Why do you want to be a whistleblower? Basically tell the world we're lying about how good we are. Look, we got a great defense. I think they are buying it. If we're at 50% stopping the nukes, and they don't need to know that. What are you making documentaries about that for?
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Been buying it since I was in school.
John Holmberg
I believe it. The missile defense, the golden dome, they're not getting in. And now this guy's going, huh, you hate Trump that much that you'll tell our enemies that we're about a 50% success rate.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
What was the success rate? Was it is Israel.
John Holmberg
Those are different than that.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Like 90%.
John Holmberg
The ICBMs are a different beast.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Still, 90%.
John Holmberg
No, that's great. It's huge. But we're not running the same system on the nukes. Yeah.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Not lobbing the big boys.
John Holmberg
You got to corral those up in space. They shoot out of that atmosphere and come back in and they're. They got way up high and I don't know. We could. But still, I was under the impression that it would have been similar to the thing in Israel to this dude makes that documentary and starts go, nah, we're not very good at it. Try it. We'll only get half of them. And it's getting all these legs. And then the Department of War basically said, this guy's out of his mind. So he starts this interview campaign running around going, huh? It's. You know, they tested it 20 times and it got 12. So it's a little better than 50. Sometimes I'm like, why are you doing this? What's the end game to let everyone know where saw this?
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
The Whopper basically decided it was a zero sum game.
John Holmberg
Yeah, well, I mean, there's truth to that. If you've got 20 nukes heading to your nation, you better be 100%.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
I'll decide which ones are going through.
John Holmberg
Yeah, one's aimed at Toledo. Don't even launch our side. Don't even waste money launching something. Let it go.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
You mean the city, not me, right?
John Holmberg
Let it go. Or both.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Okay.
John Holmberg
A Tucson, Toledo, El Paso, most of the south, some of Florida. If. If Russia decides to nuke some of our flyover. Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky area. Call your family and go. Time to go.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
It's amazing.
John Holmberg
I love you very much. Goodbye.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)

John Holmberg
All right, Bert, you're the music man.
Brett Vesely
All right, let's start off with. They're pretty reckless. They're putting out a Christmas ep.
John Holmberg
Oh, they're trying to win the Christmas.
Brett Vesely
Where are you, Christmas?
John Holmberg
Is it good? Have you listened?
Brett Vesely
No, I don't like Christmas music.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
You know, it's legit. She really did.
Brett Vesely
No, this is not AI. This is. Wow.
John Holmberg
Where are you, Christmas? This is the. Pretty reckless.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
She was the girl.
John Holmberg
But this is gonna go bananas in a second.
Brett Vesely
So she must be doing a duet with herself as.
John Holmberg
Yes. She grows up during the song and then becomes a raging loud for Christmas. Starting now, I'm guessing. Yeah.
Additional Guest or Contributor
Where are you, Christmas? Why can't I find you?
John Holmberg
Why have you catchy. You like It's Christmas song Christmas music. Yeah, it's not a bad thing for Christmas music. She's lamenting her Christmas past being she doesn't feel it anymore.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Remember we used to do the Days of Christmas?
John Holmberg
Oh, yeah. This I don't mind. She's an adult. She doesn't get the same vibes off Christmas anymore. And maybe by the end of this song, she'll have found the spirit. A very heavy Christmas vibe there. Good Christmas producer. The elves did good work. Are we really there? We're at Christmas music time, aren't we? Oh, my Crazy.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Doesn't Beth start on Saturday?
John Holmberg
Oh, Jesus. She's gonna start beating the hell out of us again, right? Oh, no. It was.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
It was. It was.
John Holmberg

Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
It was every full blown.
John Holmberg
Yeah, okay. Yeah. It's like the HIV of Christmas music. And then somewhere around the 20th, it goes full blown Christmas Booty juice. Hit hard. All right, here we go.

Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Sounds like the beginning of Van Halen. When do they come into town? They just saw tickets.
Brett Vesely
Thing with Pussifer, though, he actually likes playing with Puss for he like stands up front and everything else.
John Holmberg
He doesn't hide well because he knows the materials.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
Is there a distinct difference between all three? Perfect Circle.
John Holmberg
This one's the weird one.
Co-host or Guest (possibly a friend or colleague of John Holmberg)
This one's the really weird one.
John Holmberg
This is the avant garde.
Brett Vesely
Yeah, Perfect Circle is more mainstream.
John Holmberg
Yeah, more mainstream. Tool and then Tool is Tool. Although this is the most mainstream P ever sounded. Yeah, I'm not not going crazy over it.
Brett Vesely
All right, Florence in the Machine. Everybody scream.

The banter is irreverent as always, mixing reviews, playful jabs, and off-the-cuff commentary about new content coming out this week—including crime shows, rock and alternative music, and even artificially generated covers of classic songs.

The episode balances irreverent humor with genuine pop culture curiosity. While a large portion of the content is delivered tongue-in-cheek, there’s clear enthusiasm (and sometimes bafflement) for the range of new musical and TV content. A notable highlight is the crew’s amazement at AI-generated music, signaling a new wave of playful, “remixed” nostalgia. The hosts’ personalities shine through uncontrolled laughter, good-natured ribbing, and quick-fire bits that make the podcast accessible for casual and returning listeners alike.
