Main Theme & Purpose

This episode centers on a remarkable new Japanese invention: the lickable television screen (Taste TV or “TasTV”). The hosts riff on the technology’s odd implications—especially concerning food programming, culture, and (inevitably) pornography—exploring both humorous and semi-serious ramifications. The trademark irreverent tone of the show keeps the segment light, raunchy, and consistently energetic.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introduction to Lickable TV

• (01:18) The hosts introduce the major tech news: Professor Homie Miyashita in Japan has invented a lickable television with flavor cartridges that dispense taste onto a hygienic film covering the screen.
  • ”This is just the beginning. Flavor cartridges that dispense droplets onto a hygienic film that's on the screen. You can remove and put a new one on, like a fruit roll up, but the screen kind of goos up that thing.” (Host, 01:25)
• The intended purpose is to let users experience flavors from around the world at home—a solution pitched in the context of post-pandemic travel limitations and culinary curiosity.

2. Immediate Reactions: Willy Wonka and Porn

• The hosts instantly make comparisons to Willy Wonka’s “lickable wallpaper,” noting both the whimsy and strangeness.
  • ”Willy Wonka's wall.” (Charlie, 02:43)
  • ”Willy Wonka's porn wall.” (Host, 02:44)
• They joke about the possibility of pornographic content taking advantage of the technology, speculating (with mock innocence and raunchy humor) on what it means for adult entertainment.
  • "The reason I’m excited about it is porn has just changed forever.” (Host, 02:23)
  • “Would you lick a porn, Brady?” (Host, 06:34)

3. Technology Breakdown & Speculative Use Cases

• Details on how the technology works: flavor cartridges and a replaceable hygienic film. Users may soon get vending-machine-style TVs that offer edible output, not just taste—though the current iteration is limited.
  • “It moistens the hygienic thing. And then you close it. You gotta be right on top of it to lick it...” (Host, 03:47)
• They poke fun at impracticalities: Who actually wants to lick a TV? How close do you need to get? What about programs like Food Network, versus less appetizing content like medical shows?
  • ”Why are you watching your TV that close?” (Charlie, 04:14)
  • "Can you imagine the freaks watching Hoarders or Dr. Pimple Popper? I'm not sure everything's going to be Taste worthy." (Host, 09:01)

4. Monetization and Premium Content

• A running joke compares flavor cartridges to TV subscription models: premium flavors (like high-end steak) could require an extra fee, while more generic options are standard.
  • “That’s like ESPN Plus. You got to pay a little extra for the good ones. Otherwise, you’re just licking the Outback. Licking the Outback is a bad band name.” (Host, 06:10–06:14)

5. Adult Content Inevitable Innovations

• Pornography as an early adopter/pusher of tech is discussed, with humorous speculation about “lickable porn” and the complications or anxieties it invites.
  • "Porn, guys, porn always helps technology along. Pardon the pun, but it's coming." (Host, 06:12)
  • "You don't know that you would lick a porn?" (Host to Brady, 06:38)
• They joke about personal boundaries, unexpected cuts in porn scenes, and how technology (like VR) might amplify or complicate these experiences.
  • "You're doing lick a porn, and all of a sudden it's a quick cut to a D. You're licking a D." (Brett Vesely, 08:17)
  • "There's no real ramifications to that D licking. It doesn't change you, unless you're like, that was delicious, Charlie." (Host, 08:24)

6. Smell-O-Vision and Sensory Integration

• The prospects for “smell-o-vision” and immersive technology are briefly considered—often dismissed as too bizarre or unmanageable.
  • "Smell O Vision's weird because where does it end? Because then your TV has to just constantly like stuff at you." (Host, 07:51)

7. Larger Commentary: Tech’s Awkward Evolution

• The hosts note that many major media technology leaps (video streaming, screen casting) were originally driven by demand for better pornography, not mainstream entertainment.
  • “...the only reason anyone ever invented the thing that throws the screen from your handheld to a screen on the wall is porn...The only reason that was invented, the only one.” (Host, 09:50)

Tone & Language

The show’s classic irreverence is on full display—crude jokes, light raunch, and rapid-fire banter. The hosts openly speculate and tease each other about who would actually use the technology, particularly regarding porn and food, while mixing in pop culture references (Willy Wonka, Food Network, Guy Fieri) for comedic effect.

Takeaway

The invention of the lickable television is both bizarre and fascinating—serving as fodder for wild speculation on food culture, technological adoption, and, above all, the ways in which adult entertainment tends to push new media forward. The HMS crew delivers all this with their characteristic playful (and sometimes crass) humor, making for a fast-paced, laugh-heavy discussion that leaves listeners with more questions—and a lot of jokes—about what the future of immersive media might really taste like.

[Brett Vesely]

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 do. And he can do it all online. It's really that simple.

[Brett Vesely]

There you have it. MMP Guns or legalgunbuyer.com the safe and legal way to sell your firearms.

[Larry McFeely]

Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with my friend Wayne from AMCO. And, Wayne, if my car has an extended warranty, do I have to take it back to the dealer for service?

[Wayne]

No, Larry, if you have an extended service contract, you can use it at any amco.

[Larry McFeely]

Well, it's nice to have other options.

[Wayne]

I'll say. Amco has dealership quality rental cars, no hassles, and faster service.

[Larry McFeely]

AMCO does more than just transmissions, right?

[Wayne]

Right. If you need car repairs or hear, feel, see, smell, or even think you have a car issue, call AMCO first.

[Larry McFeely]

Just Google AMCO for your nearest location. That's Amco Double A, MCO transmissions and a whole lot more.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Before we get to the hot releases, I just saw the future boys. Frank Caliendo's here as well, and his future is New Year's Eve at Tempe Improv. But that's a little plug on the side. In Japan, a man named Homie Miyashita has invented something I didn't even think would be real in my lifetime. Or even thought of peanut butter, sort of. The lickable television screen. TasTV is here. He has invented taste television. The TT TV. The taste of TV. That's right. Triple TV works by using a combination of flavor cartridges. This is just the beginning. Flavor cartridges that dispense droplets onto a hygienic film that's on the screen. You can remove and put a new one on, like a fruit roll up, but the screen kind of goos up that thing. So when there's like a steak on it or something, go up, give your TV a lick. And the reason I'm excited About it is porn has just changed forever.

[Brady]

They used to have your card in the movies.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Oh, sure you could. That never worked, though. You're just licking cardboard. This is your television at home, Brady. Your Food Network just became something really special.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

Willy Wonka's wall.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

It's exactly what it is. It's the first thing I thought of. And then I thought, also porn. Willy Wonka's porn wall.

[Charlie]

Snozzberries taste like snozberries.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

The berries taste like berries. And that's unreal. So they say, dispense this hygienic or this goo on this hygienic screen. Viewers can taste what they see. The technology was developed with the hope of allowing people to experience the taste of food from other countries without actually leaving their homes, which is a problem we have. We're all outside too much. Especially since the pandemic. It's a lickable TV screen and it's brand new, which means this is the worst it will ever be. Soon all things will be edible on your television and probably dispense the food. We're getting close to having vending machine TVs where you just go up and touch the thing on the screen and it tumbles out and everything's.

[Brady]

It's just now just a glop. Like, I'll have pizza.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Huh?

[Brady]

Like frozen yogurt. Like in the space movies where they have the.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

That's not a thing yet. But I like your idea. That would be awesome if that happened. If it gave you a yogurt flavored version of the thing. But this is just. It just. It just moistens. Well, no, but no, it's not a gel. It moistens the hygienic thing. And then you close it. You gotta be right on top of it to lick it. You're gonna be crazy. You've licked things before. Yeah. Home cooked meal or nevermind. Like you've licked the thing. Lick the microphone. That's how close you have to be. How long is your.

[Charlie]

That's what I'm saying is how are you. Why are you watching your TV that close?

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

You're not. But like, let's put Brady's. Like, there's a delicious brisket on TV and he's sitting on the couch, he's like, I've gotta have some of that. And he runs over to the tv.

[Charlie]

Now do you turn the cartridge on at that point or is it always going?

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

I think if you have. Well, currently right now, from what I'm reading, it's just like when HDTV came out at first it was just a couple channels, so there's probably a cartridge for. If you're on. On the Food Network. The Food Network thing kicks in and squirts it all over your tv. And then you get that flavor. And then the vegetable channel, which will be pointless unless it's like human vegetables. And then you, Nathan Sutherland, your way through that. This is the future. That means we're gonna. This. This is so much better than that 3D crap. Glasses. You wouldn't lick your TV.

[Byron]

No.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

You've seen. No, no, I don't want to like it. I'm curious.

[Brady]

Find it. I don't know if they could capture the flavor of that.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Well, you're just being a snob. Yeah, I'm saying, like you watch Diners Drive Ins and Dick. What's his name, Triple D. Yeah. And that idiot wanders around and he just goes, this tastes like meat and bread. And people are going to bet you that's really good. Now you know whether or not Guy Fieri's taste buds, which we all know suck, are actually, you know, telling you the truth. You're going, that's terrible, guys. Just a hamburger.

[Charlie]

Why is he getting so excited while you're not watching? You gotta wrap your TV in tinfoil.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Well, you don't have the Koran wrap it does. It's Hungry Man. Yeah, sounds very bold. But this would be a whole. You know, they got music channels and you'd have food channels. Like, I'm interested in beef, pork. And then you can go to like Japan. Like, do I like that? Let me see before I buy it.

[Brett Vesely]

What if they're doing steaks and you got Sizzler over here and steak 44 over here.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

I mean, you turn it to steak 44.

[Brett Vesely]

Different cartridges to put in for restaurants.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

That's like ESPN Plus. You got to pay a little extra for the good ones. Otherwise you're just licking the outback. Licking the Outback is a bad band name. Porn, guys, porn always helps technology along. Pardon the pun, but it's coming. Would you lick a porn, Brady? I don't know. Frank, would you lick a porn? Yeah. Yeah. You don't know that you would lick a porn?

[Brady]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

They're not gonna send out gross flavors.

[Brett Vesely]

They're not gonna get the bumps from the screen or anything.

[Charlie]

You're already defines gross.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Yeah. Well, there you go. It's every man. You know, I have a friend who told me the other day, his name's Anthony, that he. He has a thing in porn where he looks for. How did he put it. Stuff hanging out.

[Charlie]

Ah, there's two of them.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

I have two friends. It's like. I like the ones where the stuff hangs out. Okay. You like a Big Montana. Yeah. And then. Yeah. Like drapes.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Like. Yeah. Floor to ceiling curtains. He likes the floor to ceiling.

[Charlie]

No, no, thanks.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

No, no. That looks like a flat football jowls. Yeah, I don't want that. Yeah. But I think that this is a. This is a good thing. And I surprised at the reaction. Brett's already licking stuff. Not yet. Brett.

[Charlie]

That's just an iPad. That's just a regular iPad.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

That's the computer at work. Don't do that. You're gonna catch something.

[Brady]

Nothing.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

So, yeah, he created a flavorful screen. What's next? What is next? My grandpa's spinning in his grave. He had Uncle Milty and he probably wanted to lick him at a certain point. Now. Now you can. Uncle Milty. Schlong is flavored. The size of you Flavor tv and then scent. TV has to be right behind.

[Charlie]

There was Smell O Vision talk years ago.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Smell O Vision's weird because where does it end? Because then your TV has to just constantly like stuff at you.

[Brady]

Remember that? They. They shut it down. But at Disneyland, they had that Bug's Life. And it was a theater that you went into and it sprayed all the different smells. Bug spray.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Yeah, exterminated the bugs.

[Brady]

Stink bug.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

That wasn't a feature, Brady. You just watched the Orkin man go through Disneyland. And maybe that was Killed a Bug's Life.

[Brett Vesely]

Chris has a good point, though. He says you're doing lick a porn. And all of a sudden it's a quick cut to a D. You're licking a D. Yeah.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

And you know what? There's no real ramifications to that D licking. It doesn't change you. Unless you're like, that was delicious, Charlie. Thanksgiving.

[Larry McFeely]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

Yeah, that looks good.

[Nick Toluto]

Winning.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

We're winning.

[Charlie]

That's all Winning.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

That's.

[Charlie]

That's interesting.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

That's when you'd have to question yourself. If you're like, ah, quick cut to a D. And then the next time you wait for that moment. Like that again.

[Charlie]

Yeah, I do a lot of weird things.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Can't catch AIDS from the tv, Charlie.

[Charlie]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Yeah.

[Charlie]

And then I'm in.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Hold my beer.

[Charlie]

Here's Two and a Half Men 3.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Now you don't want to lick that show. Yeah, see, it's gonna. Oh, can you imagine the freaks watching Hoarders or Dr. Pimple Popper? I'm not sure everything's going to be Taste worthy.

[Brady]

But you get stuck in a wormhole on YouTube.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

TV, you're playing videos.

[Brady]

Abscess cow.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Oh, I don't think they're going to make. I think it has to be food, otherwise you're the weirdo. Food and say, so you're poor.

[Brady]

I don't know if they'll do the porn.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

They'll do porn. When there's futuristic stuff, porn goes. Porn looks at Japan and goes, what'd you do? We invented a television. Make a fras. Let me have that. And then porn comes back and it's a thousand times better again. You don't like to admit it, but this thing in your hand is all because of porn. The reason you've got fast videos, good videos, 4K, everything that you've got, the. The only reason anyone ever invented the thing that throws the screen from your handheld to a screen on the wall is porn. What other time are you watching anything on your phone where you're like, I better screen mirror this up there on the big screen? The only reason that was invented, the only one.

[Charlie]

A tug's life.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

That's right. Frank's going through all of them.

[Brady]

The problem is you're gonna pixelate a.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Lot of that stuff. Well, the Japanese will. You can't lick the penises, which is fine. And you know what to avoid. Maybe they'll do it with the HD helmets or what do they call those things, the virtual reality ones, the VR. And then you just lick in the air, walking around your house, just licking.

[Charlie]

Like vrd.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

That's right. Virtual reality dick licking.

[Charlie]

Vrdl.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Could put my VRDL helmet on. It's got a little thing. Your tongue goes in. Oh, he's. He's lost. He's gone for 20 minutes. Shatner. Yeah. He's like, oh, yes. Who's Shatner?

[Brett Vesely]

Had that.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

As he's already lost in his phone. He's like, oh, that tastes like real poo.

[Charlie]

Does he know we're here?

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

No, he has no idea we're here. I think I just licked a cat meal.

[Charlie]

Eight lives left.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

Anyway, I killed that one. Look, every.

[Charlie]

That means more than I thought.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

That one's dead. I'll lick another. Yeah, I like the. I like the idea that your phones will be lickable. They're not. Well, they are, actually. Everything currently is lickable, but now for a reason.

[Charlie]

Oh, okay.

[Unidentified Male Host (likely Frank Caliendo or a main podcast host)]

We're all gonna be walking around with window lickers. It used to be something that was, you know, frowned upon. Yeah, very much so. You got. You got put in special classes for that. Now you're going to be an AI billionaire when you invent lickable porn. It's coming. It's coming soon. So are you. It's 9:27. We'll get to the hot releases in just a second. Just a little quick technology update. It's 98. It's out of control now. 98 Kupda hey, it's John Holmberg here from the morning sickness for lifechangerloan.com I had a friend text me the other day and he was skeptical. He was like, there's got to be a catch, man. Math is absolute. It can't lie. So we went to the computer, put his info in the little [e-mail] and found out that his loan, which he owes $523,000 over the next 27 years on, could be paid off in eight years and he will save 389,000 in interest. That's insane. You should be skeptical. Ask questions. Then you'll see for yourself. It's not magic. It's just math. Lifechangerloan.com It's Nick Toluto from Homer's Morning.
