Music Releases

  • “Taste my ass, feel the heat of forbidden…” – Sung by AI (14:51)

  • The segment weaves a running theme: AI is in its “cute” stage but will eventually “kill us all.”

Games, TV, and Movie Releases

  • New content released; mixed visual impressions.

Transcript

[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.com and he can do it. 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.

[DSW Advertiser]

I've never felt like this before. It's like you just get me. I feel like my true self with you. Does that sound crazy? And it doesn't hurt that you're gorgeous. Okay, that's it. I'm taking you home with me. I mean, you can't find shoes this good just anywhere. Find a shoe for every you from brands you love, like Birkenstock, Nike, Adidas and more at your DSW store or dsw.com.

[John Holberg]

You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it.

[Guest or Additional Voice 1]

What the hell is wrong with you?

[John Holberg]

Are you guys ready? He's ready. Toledo's got to get ready. We got to get all ready. It's time now. It's 9:14. And by the way, people are asking, can I use skin head? There are several slurs towards the balds that I think Brady and I can both say you shouldn't use. But we can now. Isn't that right, balder?

[Brett Vesely]

C words.

[John Holberg]

Maybe we are C words. Yes, you are. But I'll have your ass if you call me bald. Oh, this is empowering. Now I know why all these other races like this stuff. I like this a lot.

[Brett Vesely]

Imagine going down to Susie and complaining somebody called you bald.

[John Holberg]

Jill said I was bald. Well, you are. Now you've done it. You see the HR lady that's on the news too, we're going to find that when the HR lady that it's pretty good stuff was when people go to the HR person. He drugged over 200 female applicants and made them pee for him during the interview. Oh, my. 200. Okay, I'll give you up to three, 197 of them wanted to do this. You don't get lucky 200 times drugging someone and having them pee for you in a job interview. How good was that job? Says human resource director working for a government institution was accused of drugging more than 200 women in an effort to make them need to urinate at difficult moments of the job interview. One of the ladies was more than 240 women targeted by Christian Negri, an HR director of the French Cultural Ministry said he reviewed by the claims and he slipped a strong illegal diuretic into their coffee and made them pee. And then, you know, just kind of. The other ones didn't. No. No coffee. The ones with tight clinchers. It was his. It was his way to find out who's tight, who's got a good kegel. But he liked it. He made him pee. He drugged him to make him pee. 200 of them. I'm with women. If it was 200 women, chances are they're not getting through a 20 minute interview without having to pee. That's my guess. They pee the second you say, let's get in the car. It's like some sort of Pavlovian code for them to go, and your bladder's full. Everything's fine in the house. Yeah, I told Brett this story, but yesterday I was. This for me?

[Brett Vesely]

Mm.

[John Holberg]

Hold on. I got this email first. Says, piss off. Being bald suck. Sure, I'd rather deal with that harassment. The endless stream of ginger jokes. The guy complaining needs to grow his pine since he can't grow hair. Will you watch your mouth there, Rebel Hollingsworth, because I'm going to send this. I'm going to file this email away in your HR folder. Revel. Stupid ginger. You can't make fun of bald people. It's wrong. There's ginger. People have lower IQs, so they don't know any different. Yesterday, I had a pair of light colored jeans on and I went to see Katrina, my beautiful therapist, and I'm sitting with her and we were talking about stuff and I had to pee really bad. And we had just gotten done talking about how I was just out of curiosity. I'm like, how many people don't understand your role in their life and become like, they think. Because we did that story a while ago about how people are like, oh, my therapist thinks I'm their favorite. I'm their best friend. Like, they cross the line to friendship and then they start thinking maybe there's a little something there. And I said that right as I Had to pee. So I had just basically said to dudes, come on to you as a therapist. And then I had to go pee. And when I peed with light colored jeans on, I realized I didn't have any underwear on. And I don't normally. And I'm like, well, I don't want to go back in there because I was hurrying through the pee to make it seem like I wasn't pooping. So you try to pee faster. So I took a bunch of toilet paper and I wrapped it around my goods just to like block any drop dribbles. It's a good move. And when I went back in there, I realized that I had just said, hey, did dudes find you attractive? I'll be right back. And then came back with what looked like a big heart on because I had wrapped it up so thick. No drips, though. No drips, no runs, no drips, no errors. The old Johnny Bench technique I take with the urination highly recommend that for people who don't use underwear. I hate underwear. And light colored jeans. Occasionally you wrap it up, squeeze it out later and throw that away and then you're back into no underwear. Nothing better than an unfurnished basement. But don't call me bald. Let's get to the hot releases. They're brought to you by our friends [e-mail]. they're still doing that thousand dollars off if you use Holmberg as the promo code. And that's pretty great right there. And also I had a guy, a friend of mine tell me the other day his heaters out. That's the same thing. If your AC unit didn't make it through the summer very well, guess what's not going to work real well now when you have to start turning your heater back on because it got into the 40s last night. So in the outskirts, people's heaters are kicking back on. And if that unit's all done, guess what? It's the same thing. It's just ac. It's air conditioning. Doesn't mean it's hot and cold. So they want you to get it replaced. And doing it that way with new AC unit.com is the best way to save yourself some cash. Throw Homeberg in the promo code, take off another thousand bucks, and then save thousands more. Save time. Buy online new ac unit.com Brett, go.

[Brett Vesely]

All right, we'll start off with it's real light today just because we're getting so close to Christmas.

[John Holberg]

So.

[Brett Vesely]

But Zach Brown band, this is Let it Run. You know how many?

[John Holberg]

Christmas Dog. Zach Brown and Snoop Dogg. Who the hell is Jack Brown? Was getting high Passing flowers round the fire no one even gave a damn till in your hand now you're Zach. Looks glamorous. Kind of like dude perfect of country. Vegas on that joint I'm about to hit. Just let it roll. Hot girls, country dancing. God, this song's dumb already. At least it's not about beer. They've graduated to weed. Can Snoop Dog save a country? So. There he is. Funny. We can roll another one. Corona spokesman. Snoop dogg. No. Geez. I knew that was kind of. I caught it. My goodness.

[Brett Vesely]

All right. So there you go.

[John Holberg]

Even he can't save a country.

[Brett Vesely]

Song Upon a Burning Body. Yes, this is Daywalker.

[John Holberg]

All right.

[Brett Vesely]

Hello.

[John Holberg]

It's a cool image.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holberg]

Big bright red sun. I like these guys. Till he sings every time.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, the music's good.

[John Holberg]

It's always cool. And he screeches. I know a place where evil's lurking. Actually not so bad.

[Brett Vesely]

This is pretty good.

[John Holberg]

That stinks of putrid sin. There's the skin just to watch it. Blindness. Creepy.

[Brett Vesely]

Sounds a little like Parkway Drive. Until he goes in there. Real screamy.

[John Holberg]

Yeah. Different. It's not doing that. High pitch weird screeching. This is melodic. Upon a Burning Bodies. Got me.

[Brett Vesely]

Might be checking this one out.

[John Holberg]

A new album or just a single?

[Brett Vesely]

Said new album. This one got released like four months ago. But it's on.

[John Holberg]

A new album. Huh. I like that. Don't they usually have that? Guy sounds like Krampus.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. Rob Zombie.

[John Holberg]

Here we go.

[Brett Vesely]

Stuff. This is Heathen Days.

[John Holberg]

New Rob Zombie. Four Horsemen of My Created Apocalypse. Rob Zombie doesn't age. And I don't know why that is like his. Everything about him always looks exactly the same as Black Sunshine Days.

[Brett Vesely]

Other than the hair gets gray.

[John Holberg]

His little grayer or blonder.

[Brett Vesely]

This is better than the first single. Awesome.

[John Holberg]

It's all makeup. Maybe she's wearing a lot of hair. Hair. He. Like this one a lot too.

[Brett Vesely]

The last single they put out from this album wasn't that good.

[John Holberg]

Garbage. I like that a lot. All right. All right.

[Brett Vesely]

Let's jump into some AI stuff. Just because I like that.

[John Holberg]

Though Zombie and Upon a Burning Body were both good.

[Brett Vesely]

Here's Even Flow. The soul remix.

[John Holberg]

Oh, man. Pearl Jam's Even Flow. If it were a 70s soul.

[Brett Vesely]

Look watching starsky and hutch.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

Maybe he'll see a little better.

[John Holberg]

I can relive everything I like all over again. It's like having all Alzheimer's. Musically. Sounds like that actually sounds like A pretty good legitimate.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John Holberg]

Hey, I didn't do too much crazy with that. I like it, though.

[Brett Vesely]

Here's Blind Melon.

[John Holberg]

No rain, but there's like 40 people in this AI band. It's a picture of, like, cool in the gang and Earth, wind and fire in a church basement. Oh, this is gonna be great. This little bumblebee girl gonna be in this. Sounds like a theme song. That's my Mama Y.

[Guest or Additional Voice 1]

All I can say is that my.

[John Holberg]

Life is pretty plain I like watching the puddles get the rain and all I can do is just pour some tea for two and speak my poem. It's like if the bumblebee girl went on blacks.com and not saying, oh, come on, Say to me. Oh, I'll always be there when you love this. Don't want to listen to that all day on the way home. Send me that immediately.

[Brett Vesely]

And we did Cypress Hill. Insane in the Brain, the funk style. Here it is. New metal style.

[John Holberg]

Well, by the way, Jersey J might be right. He goes after Palladio. I think you like everything. You got to cleanse your palate. Those were two good songs, John, but let's calm down. He might be right. He might be right.

[Brett Vesely]

No, those are good. Come.

[John Holberg]

I think I'm with you, but. All right.

[Brett Vesely]

Cypress Hill, the new metal cover.

[John Holberg]

And this is A.I. yeah. Okay. Oops, I turned the wrong thing. Trying to start again Trying to start again I want to hear this Crazy with essay. Don't you know I'm loco? Don't you know I'm local? Hey, I did that. To the one on the flamboyant. I'll just toss that ham in the frying pan like spec Damn, get done when they come and slam Damn, they feel like the Son of Sam don't make me wreck Hectic oh, geez, I forgot about the cursing. Mike got excited about that song. That's awesome.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

We need to do your Casey Kasem's time.

[John Holberg]

I have to do that. I have to get around.

[Brett Vesely]

[Byron]

All right.

[Brett Vesely]

And that'll bring the gateway to the well we.

[John Holberg]

I can only imagine. Yeah, yeah, you keep reading those words now. I'm curious about her lyrics. All right. Inside my. Oh, geez. Inside my deep hole Taste the wine Then forever you will be mine. That's probably accurate.

[Brett Vesely]

What a poet.

[John Holberg]

She's good. Taste my ass. Yeah, she's back to the chorus. Okay.

[Brett Vesely]

Don't be shy, don't hesitate Dive right in, Seal your fate.

[John Holberg]

She's consistent. You know what's great about the AI picture of Sharona is that she's not that great looking. She's really good, but she looks like somebody that would be like. She's like a pretty stalker. Exactly. That's what I was thinking. My dad would hate her, but she's got kind of not for everybody look. AI is so amazing. And I'm. You know what I think of his AI now know I think of AI as like. Like I'm Jeffrey Dahmer's parents. When I see AI today, it's my little fledgling fun thing. And it's cute. It's going to grow up and kill all of us. But I'll remember the early days of its first steps. Its first taste, my ass. All the fun it's given us, Cats driving videos and all the fun things AI is doing now. Apparently, she's just like when Jeffrey Dahmer's parents saw him as a little boy and thought, isn't he adorable? He's great. Let's hope he grows into something amazing. But we all know AI is going to become our overlords. But here's for now, just enjoy its childhood. Because it's like, Hitler was a cute baby, probably. And I might get fired for saying so because people don't like hearing that Hitler might have been a cute kid because of what he turned into. But somewhere along the lines, people are like, that little guy's going places. That's how we feel about AI right now. But always remember, it's going to kill us all.

[Brett Vesely]

There was her second single.

[John Holberg]

No, this is Sharona's other song. I'm a good girl, but I love anal.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, you wanna play it?

[John Holberg]

Sure.

[Brett Vesely]

All right.

[John Holberg]

So the same album? I think so.

[Guest or Additional Voice 1]

Will I bake pies and go to church on Sundays? Wear my poodle skirt and keep my lipstick red Mama says I'm sweet as apple strudel no but when the lights go out I flip the script instead I ain't no clue Chasing every Tom or Harry I say my prayers and fold my hands so neat but deep down inside I'm craving something dirty A back door ride that'll knock me off my feet oh, I'm a good girl But I love Ain't no sticking in the rear make me.

[John Holberg]

Like what I say he's so giddy. Oh, he is. Because it's Jeffrey Dahmer's first steps. Brady, It's Jeffrey Dahmer's first steps. Somewhere out there, there's a group of people who are like, remember Jeff's first steps? They were great. Call me. Call me back in 21 years when there's some kids missing. And AI did it.

[Brett Vesely]

All right, that'll bring us to N word or F word, the game that is sweeping the nation. And today we got Dubaby. This is Rockstar.

[John Holberg]

Didn't he get in trouble? Oh, yeah.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

Oh, yeah.

[John Holberg]

He said the homo F word a few times and then said he didn't care about them. And they knocked him off the Dua Lipa song for a little while. Da, baby. I was the winner. I'll go with. Geez, he loves cursing. I'm gonna go ahead and say. I'm gonna say MFer. Okay, Brady. Angry. N word. Angry.

[Brett Vesely]

N word.

[John Holberg]

Richard.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

Not gonna be friendly, but I'll go friendly.

[John Holberg]

All right.

[Brett Vesely]

Friendly.

[John Holberg]

N word. Here we go. Go. Good luck. I pull up like what? How you pull up, baby. How you pull up? How you pull up? I pull up stuff in the kitchen. Let's go. Brand new lemon G. Oh, jeez. It was just a straight up F word. No one had. It continues to next week. There you go. It's Damien. It's Damien. AI is Damien. Remember he had parties and everybody kind of looked at him like, we know something's wrong with you, but you're so cute right now. Let's maybe we can nurture it out of you. But it's not going to go well. It's a cute kid right now. It's not doing anything bad yet, but, boy, when it does, we're in trouble. I'm feeling we got duped this year on Palladium. Maybe a couple of those. Maybe Now I want to look at those songs to see if. If they're up there in the fake music category. No, you never find them. Can't find what Brett tells us about just saying see it. See it for what we're seeing it for. It's a toddler that's waddling around with a baba in its mouth and just making us laugh, and we're having a great time. It's gonna slaughter us all. Uncle Johnny tells you. You know what's gonna happen. All right, what do you got there, Talia? Though concerts will be on the screen now. There won't be concerts, Brady. There won't be concerts like going to.

[Brett Vesely]

A movie, trying to do.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

They'll just.

[John Holberg]

They'll just.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

You'll plug in for.

[John Holberg]

You guys seem to think this is just going to keep going in this direction. Eventually, it's going to kill us all.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

The big video game out just in time for Christmas is. Well, it's actually been out, but there's new DLC for it. Is Assassin's Creed Shadows.

[John Holberg]

Men, spare no one.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

This is from the launch trailer, but there's new content out to banish. Assassin's Creed Shadows.

[John Holberg]

It's a good Christmas release here. I got to say, it looks remarkably like the old Assassin's Creed, which is a little disappointing.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

They're getting away from the. The reality of it because it's, like, taxing the systems too much. And people are finding that the old school, you know, graphics are funner to play.

[John Holberg]

This looks just like the old ones with better backgrounds. Yep.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

1.

[John Holberg]

The warrior stands upon the battle. I liked Assassin's Creed when it came out, but the problem with it was the gameplay was kind of like methodical.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

Yeah.

[John Holberg]

So you would start at noon and you didn't realize it was 6 o' clock when you're like, oh, my God, I've been doing this all day. Yep.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

And you can get lost. You know Red Dead Redemption around a city. Oh, that was.

[John Holberg]

It got me several times. Sorry, Brady.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

You don't know.

[John Holberg]

Yeah. Brady couldn't get first. Brady had it figured out. Can't get through the first 15 minutes.

[Brett Vesely]

Never play again.

[John Holberg]

Because there were Saturdays where I was playing and I'm like, where'd the sun go?

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

We missed this last week. It actually came out on Thanksgiving. Stranger things, season five, they're doing it in two parts. Part one. The second part comes out in Christmas.

[John Holberg]

Are these 30 year olds still supposed to be in the 80s?

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

I don't know. I thought there were like eight when this thing started.

[John Holberg]

Yeah. Didn't it start off in like the mid-80s, 80s? And now they're 25 and it's still the 80s. That doesn't work.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

But I think we should find out.

[John Holberg]

And the girl that was like the adorable lead is now some Bon Jovi 24 year old sex Billy.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

Bobby Bon Jovi.

[John Holberg]

Yeah. I want to see Vector's heart on a platter. I can't look at any of the characters. I really don't. Huh? Millie. Bonnie Jovi.

[Brett Vesely]

You all right?

[Byron]

I think she went with her real name's Bonnie.

[John Holberg]

Huh.

[Byron]

She went from Millie Bobby Brown to.

[John Holberg]

Millie meet Bonnie Bon Jovi.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

Thanks for throwing. We would have all known that.

[John Holberg]

Huh? Bonnie changed her name. Yeah. All right. Either way, she's like 30 now and it's still 1987. So two years have passed in the whole thing.

[Brett Vesely]

Maybe they'll bring Cousin Oliver.

[John Holberg]

I was saying they needed only two years. I don't know how long it's been. But they're still in the 80s, right? Right. And they're 10 years older. It doesn't make sense. And also, I can't look at any of the characters. I want to punch the them. And you're right. In the old days, they'd have just replaced them with cuter kids. This is all the Leave it to Beaver syndrome. They all became teenagers and 20 year olds and they all got ugly. And normally a TV show would replace you with a cuter kid. Danny Cooksey on Different Strokes. When Gary Coleman got ugly, that was bringing a new kid. They didn't do that on Stranger Things.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

George Clooney is back on Netflix with a movie called J. Kelly.

[John Holberg]

This one was Adam Sandler. I Want to Be Here.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

He's a famous movie actor, embarks on a journey of self discovery, confronting his past and present with his devoted manager, Ron Poignant.

[John Holberg]

Look at you. You're the American dream. The last of the old movies. I'm down here. You're up there. You're down here.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

You're in here. We did this together.

[Guest or Additional Voice 1]

See you, dad. I'm leaving on Saturday for Paris.

[John Holberg]

This is your last summer. It would be so lonely here without you. No, it won't. You're never alone.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

Really?

[John Holberg]

I think I'm always alone. Thanks, Ivan. Okay, this is gonna be a maybe, right? That's a maybe.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

Here's some member berries for us. The first snow of Fraggle Rock is out on Apple tv.

[John Holberg]

Oh, it's a new Fraggle. I've been working on a sled. We will launch it. Not interested in modern Fraggle Rock? No.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

All right, this one's for Brady then. The Night My Dad Saved Christmas two. Yes. Had to Do It Twice is out on Netflix. If you missed the other one, the first one two years ago, you're in luck.

[John Holberg]

I did.

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

You can binge him.

[John Holberg]

I have to. So there's just in Spanish. So it's basically subtitles. It's basically Santa Bond. There's an evil person trying to ruin Christmas, and this guy saves it. Oh, okay. Too much Spanish. Toledo. I don't know what's going on there. Why would you even bring that one to the party?

[Guest or Additional Voice 2]

That's the best I got. Because I think Brady will watch it.

[John Holberg]

Maybe. I like a diverse clause. I'm so behind. Yeah, well, you'll get through the first one. You got time. You'll be all right. I bet you it'll be at like, volume 60 on a Samsung, too. Just screaming Spanish into this. Oh, here's Larry McFeely.

[Brett Vesely]

That's Spanish. And I thought, what the hell happened to Fraggle Rock?

[John Holberg]

Yeah, Fraggle Rock.

[Byron]

Well, there.

[John Holberg]

It's a DEI program down there in the Fraggle. All right. Well, there you go. That's it. I like this. I like the Zombie. That came out great. I like the new Rob Zombie.

[Brett Vesely]

The Cypress new metal version was pretty, pretty cool.

[John Holberg]

And Upon a Burning Bodies got my interest. He gets some good ones in there today. The Clooney movie's a big maybe.

[Brett Vesely]

And we'll see Sandler better when he's serious.

[John Holberg]

I like him when he's not in charge of writing or like, when he's not trying to be funny because he's just great. Yeah. When he's. When he's unfunny, he's brilliant because he's so good at that. And there you go. Those are your hot releases. It's 98, Arizona's most powerful, powerful rock radio station.
