Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. John’s Elation Over Harbaugh’s Firing

• John’s mood dominates the early part: He euphorically describes how much pleasure he takes from the Ravens’ failure and Harbaugh’s removal—a feeling long awaited as a Steelers fan.
  • Quote: “I haven’t touched the ground for days. This is amazing.” — John (01:37)
  • His happiness is self-admittedly petty, and he acknowledges relishing in his enemy’s downfall.
  • Playful speculation on where Harbaugh might land next (Tampa, New Orleans, Raiders—Harbaugh Bowl potential).
  • Deep loathing for the Ravens: “The thing I hate more than anything in the world, which is the Ravens. Oh, just so nice.” (03:58)
    • He even jokes about wishing natural disasters would hit Baltimore (06:37).

2. Cliff Kingsbury Career Moves & Ex-Wife Talk

• Noting Kingsbury’s abrupt job resignation, John and crew wonder if he’ll replace Harbaugh in Baltimore:
  • Kingsbury as OC vs. head coach suitability.
  • Musings about how Lamar Jackson could be picking his coach.
• Kingsbury’s breakup with Polish model Veronica Bialik is dissected; hosts mock the “insanity” of letting a woman that beautiful go.
  • Brett: “You know what that tells me? She’s nuts. Because you’ll put up with an awful lot.” (07:06)

3. Rants on Envy, Trolling, and Joy in Rivalry

• John philosophizes about the happiness found in others' misery, the freedom of trolls, and internet culture:
  • “Trolls aren’t unhappy people. Trolls are the happiest people you know.” — John (10:08)
• The show equates sports schadenfreude with social trolling: “Find hate. Start hating something today that looks like it’s about to crumble.” (09:31)
• John and Byron discuss the psychology of trolling, the cycle of pain and happiness, and the endorphin rush of riling people up.
  • “Troll cane’s very real…and you give it to them all the time.” — John (11:32)

4. NFL Misery Index & Cardinals Pessimism

• Cardinals fans are painted as hopeless for wanting Harbaugh or expecting success.
• John spirals into a darkly humorous rant about the misery of Baltimore, comparing it to Cleveland, mocking their accent and culture:
  • “Baltimore’s awful. It’s a brackish water swamp of dumpster fire human beings…They all look like Dennis Franz if you dipped them in motor oil.” — John (15:55)
• Suggests John Gruden for the Cardinals, dismisses idea Harbaugh would settle for a losing franchise.

5. Matt Khalil Lawsuit Over Ex-Wife’s “Huge Junk” Comments

• NFL ex-lineman Khalil sues his former wife for publicly discussing his (allegedly) gigantic penis.
  • Crew jokes every man would want that rumor, but agree that the lawsuit is about spite, not privacy.
  • John: “He just hates her. He just wants to hurt her.” (28:01)
  • Mocking scenarios arise: would the court need to view the evidence? Brands Khalil could endorse: Ream Air Conditioning, plumbing companies.

6. Psychic Predictions & 2026 Disasters

• John runs through annual psychic predictions, this year including:
  • Aliens contacting Earth
  • Major volcanic activity
  • Earthquakes
• Hosts lampoon psychic accuracy, compare it to Mel Kiper’s 17% NFL Draft hit rate (31:18).
  • Byron: “Would you put them in line with Mel Kiper?”
  • John: “17%...People still give him tons of money to be 17% accurate. That’s not right.” (31:20)
• Insightful riff about how people ignore natural warnings (lava, volcanoes, hurricanes) and Instagram’s role in encouraging risky behavior near disasters.

7. Conspiracy Deep-Dive: Las Vegas Shooting

• Brett describes falling down a podcast/Vegas shooting rabbit hole—suggesting the event was not as reported.
  • Theorizes that Stephen Paddock may have been dead before the shootings ended, helicopters involved, Saudi connections, multiple shooters.
  • Brett: “He was probably dead while the shootings were still happening. They’re saying there were helicopters in the air.” (38:00)
  • John worries about AI muddying new conspiracy info, the risks of knowing too much.
  • Creepy pattern of witnesses dying mysteriously after the event (“car accidents, like, a couple months later and stuff.” — Brett, 48:09)
• The hosts wrestle with how much they want to know (“Sometimes I don’t want to know.” — Brett, 46:20), and how authorities might use “false flags” for distraction.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On pure sports hatred:
  • “Find hate. Start hating something today that looks like it’s about to crumble. And you’ll be…Why do you think trolls are all over the Internet?” — John (09:31)
• On Lamar Jackson’s look as face of the franchise:
  • “His face is the problem there…and that doesn’t matter what color you are. He’s just an ugly man.” — John (08:46)
• On psychic predictions & disasters:
  • “January, the first couple weeks of January, the psychics are all out…” — John (30:09)
• On being blissfully ignorant:
  • “You think happy and stupid sometimes is a little bit better.” — John (43:00)

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.

[John]

Tell him not to put himself at risk and come into M and P.

[Byron]

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.

[John]

It really that simple?

[Brett Vesely]

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

[John]

Morning sickness. You've 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. Good morning, everybody. Hello there. Welcome to Wednesday. It is 5:45. My name's John. There's Brady. There's Brett. There's Big Dick Toledo. I don't know if I have to do this again, but just floating through the week. I mean, I. I kind of think maybe it's just. It's all being done for me. I don't want to rub it into everybody, but I guess I'm kind of happy again in my own way. I don't want to play the song. Goodbye John Hubbard.

[Byron]

Still flowing.

[John]

It's just everything is fantastic in the world of.

[Byron]

Sorry. You can do it again.

[John]

Football. You think?

[Byron]

I. It's good.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, it's all right.

[Byron]

Good for everyone.

[John]

I don't know.

[Byron]

I feel like even if it's not your celebration.

[John]

Oh, it's my celebration. Oh, I'm celebrating the mood. Does it?

[Byron]

Yeah.

[John]

I mean, I don't like celebrating somebody's firing. Unless it's John Harbaugh. Raven. I haven't touched the ground for days. This is amazing. Oh, it's amazing. And then NFL came out yesterday and said that Chris Boswell didn't miss that kick. It was actually blocked. And you look and it was like a guy got a finger, which is why it made that weird. Right?

[Byron]

They knew who had that.

[John]

Yeah. So they reached finger. I didn't. I didn't care. I just started laughing like he didn't miss it. Somebody made a nice play. That's fine. And then their coach got fired.

[Byron]

You sure they didn't do that to make him feel better?

[John]

I don't care. I don't care. It's official.

[Brett Vesely]

How many times did you tug yesterday after that?

[John]

After that news came out? I mean, come on. And you know what's funny? I almost knew it when I was watching. I was actually watching the Steelers Ravens replay on the NFL Network and saw the thing on the bottom of the screen read, break breaking news. And I heard my phone buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz. And I'm like, harbaugh got fired. I said it, and then it scrolled across. I'm like, oh. And then my phone was just, oh, my Steeler buddy's going. It's happened. And we don't care who they replace him with. And Cardinal fans, calm down. He ain't coming here. You're a nightmare. Where that would be the option. And look, if I'm him, I sit back and I'm like, there's going to be a team like Tampa, New Orleans that has a coach that. They're like, that's a better one and might not have planned to fire the coach, but now that John Harbaugh's available, you would do it. If I'm Tampa, I'm looking at their situation and, like, we're close. And I think the coach, he's good for three wins. I'd go to Tampa in a heartbeat. If I'm. And that's the one. I would. I would kind of lean on that. He can pick his team. There's teams with coaches that are kind of like, yeah, we don't get rid of them, but something better came along. You know, like most. Most people feel about their wives. Something better came along.

[Byron]

The Raiders are like, pick up the phone.

[John]

Please pick up the phone. The Raiders would be amazing. Because then you get the Harbaugh bowl twice a year because Raiders, Chargers, just. He's gone. He's fired. He's just fired. It's awesome. Sorry. I have not touched the ground since Sunday night knowing that it was just the disaster, the dismantling of the. Of the thing I hate more than anything in the world, which is the Ravens. Oh, just so nice. Sorry. It's personal, but it just feels so good. And I want to start your day with, you know what? That's my job to say there's hope out there. Unless you're a Cardinal fan, there's none. But if you're. There's hope out there that, you know your enemies will fall all over Themselves. And then you stand up and you go, oh. And he also. His pants. He fell and he crapped himself. And you realize how great that feels. Oh, it's so nice. So nice. So I didn't want to do that, but I really wanted to do that.

[Byron]

I think the next coach there is maybe one and done maybe two.

[John]

Well, it was interesting, though. Our own actor.

[Byron]

You lose that.

[John]

Our own former guest of the show on a regular basis, Cliff Kingsbury, abruptly quit his job yesterday. He did.

[Brett Vesely]

I didn't see that.

[John]

Okay. Which makes me. And it's right down the road. Makes me think Lamar is picking his coach. That's a good fit because Cliff is an offensive guy, but is he a good head coach? There's no judging that off of what he did here. But after watching the Hard Knocks and stuff and seeing Cliff Kingsbury, like, I'm not so sure. That guy's a great. He's a great offensive coordinator. I think he's really good there, but he just kind of stepped away, and that makes the most sense to me that he would wander right over to Baltimore and he's available and they're there, and.

[Byron]

Or maybe he just wants to get out of that area.

[John]

It's the same area.

[Byron]

That's what I'm saying. You don't want to stay.

[John]

He stayed. That would be a good job.

[Byron]

Set up in Scottsdale.

[John]

Look, he rolls over to. I wouldn't be surprised. The Bidwells are like, you want to come back? If he rolled over to Lamar, that's the job. That's a good job for somebody like him. You just don't understand. You just. You don't understand. With true, full hate in your heart. I don't know. It just feels so good. It just feels so damn good. Anyway, how are you guys doing? Everything all right in your world? I haven't. I float. I float now. I don't walk. I float. Like when Ralphie May was in my pool smoking weed, realized he was in the deep end, still smoking. Ralphie, are you in the fat floats, mother. And I'm like, oh, my God. And he just floated around. Now I know how that feels. Without the debilitating health risks. It's just outstanding. That floats. So does happiness. Happiness floats all over. I've been. I haven't been this filled with joy in a long time. And one day after every day, a little bit more good comes from Baltimore caving in. If only. If only some sort of natural disaster, fire or something like that would. Would hit Baltimore. I mean, that would be the only Thing.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't think Cliff's ex is gonna be going to Baltimore anytime soon.

[John]

I forgot about her. Victoria. Veronica. Veronica. Veronica Bialik. Yeah. There she is on a beach somewhere. That the beach is even the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. She's wandering around in a bikini. Yeah. That ain't fair. How did Cliff lose that?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, I don't know.

[John]

She. You know what that tells me? She's. She's nuts. Because you'll put up with an awful lot.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, I'd put up with that for a minute.

[John]

You'll put up with a lot of her garbage. And he couldn't anymore.

[Byron]

That is Polish magic.

[John]

I don't know what Cliff was like. He had to tell his friends, too. Yeah, Veronica and I aren't working out. And his friends had to be like, dude, do whatever it takes. We need to have dinners together more. She's ridiculous. That's not fair. That's not a human body. No, not at all. Anyway, just love it. Just absolutely love it. So Cliff going to Baltimore, you know, he ain't taking Veronica there. She ain't going to Baltimore. I watched Robert Griffin the Third on. On espn, and he was talking about how Lamar Jackson is like, the face of Baltimore. And he goes, look, when I went to Washington, they called. They call that Chocolate City. And he said, and I went there and represented the Washington football team, as, you know, me. And he said, but I still had people telling me, you have to be articulate, you have to sound to be the face of this franchise. He goes, baltimore. He goes, it's dark Chocolate City. They're not changing. Not my words. Robert Griffin said. He goes, they ain't changing. Lamar's look. He said, he's the only face of a franchise that sound street wears a diamond grill. He goes, the NFL isn't like they love him, but they're not thrilled with the idea of him going to the next level and being, you know, a mouthpiece. The face. He can't be the face of anything.

[Byron]

One of the main.

[John]

His face is the problem there, and that doesn't matter what color you are. He's just an ugly man. That's like me being the face of anything. It's just, I. I know you when you're ugly and you know it, clap your hands. He knows he's not. At least I hope he does. That's why he wears that thing over most of his face. That is an ugly human being. You can't have him up on billboards. And when he's on tv, I Giggle like, come on. Everybody knows this shouldn't be happening. There commercial.

[Byron]

Smiling grill.

[John]

No, you put that big dumb diamond. Unless he does a commercial for diamond grills. But either way, it's just a happy thing.

[Brett Vesely]

It's gonna be on a Shane Co. Commercial next. Or what?

[John]

I mean, hey, I was thinking about saying, come to get my mouth. Look, I'm Lamar Jackson, okay? He can't do it. Just.

[Byron]

Grill sale.

[John]

At the grill sale this week. Put your meat in my grill. Anyway, it's just a great. It's just a great day. A great day for people who hate the Baltimore Ravens. Find hate. Start hating something today that looks like it's about to crumble. And you'll. You'll be. Why do you think trolls are all over the Internet? Because once they get you, they. Their joy is unreasonably high. When. When you get mad at their trolling, they get, like, an endorphin rush. It's a cocaine.

[Byron]

It's their life. For some of them.

[John]

Oh, it's. And they're happy people. And the best thing a troll can hear is somebody going, you're just an unhappy person who has to do this. And, like, I'm happy because look what it did to you.

[Byron]

Now you're making me laugh.

[John]

You're making me giggle, and you're bringing joy to my life, assuming my life is an unhappy one. You're just a mad, unhappy little troll. Yep. Yep. And you are making me happier. It's true. Trolls will get you sometimes. Everybody's been punched by a troll. Everybody's had that moment where they catch and you respond to a troll and you're like, oh, I trolled back. I just gave the troll life. I made him happy. And trolls aren't unhappy people. Trolls are the happiest people. You know, it's people who aren't trolls who want them to be unhappy and are afraid to say, I hate that little mother. I hope he dies in a fire. Like, I'll say, people. People who won't say those things go, he's just an unhappy person. No, you are. You are. And you're. And you're getting tapped in your unhappiness. And you wish you could say it, but you can't. Trolls are free. They're free people.

[Byron]

What's funny is when you see the person that had been trolling, trolling, trolling, then all of a sudden, something comes up on them, and you look back at trolling. They got reverse trolled.

[John]

Yeah, look, everybody gets trolled. Trolls get trolled. Everybody gets hit.

[Byron]

If you decide to jump into the troll game.

[John]

Everybody gets hit.

[Byron]

Be prepared.

[John]

You've trolled, I've trolled, we've all done it. Everybody's trolled. Some people do it all the time. But don't fool yourself into thinking that. Your comment saying your parents you just have no love in your life. You probably live alone. Maybe. But you know what you just did? You just gave them a little troll cane and they snorted it right up. And they love it. They love when you react. They love when you say they're unhappy. They giggle. They giggle like school girls. The best thing you can do is the pious, well, I live a nice life with my family. You don't have that. And what are you doing on your computer talking to me? They love it. Troll cane's very real. And you give it to them all the time. What trolls are are pain addicts. But not their pain. Yours. And when they see it, it's just. It's this endorphin rush. Get something, something.

[John]

Homeburg's morning. I admire the troll. I admire good trolling. When I see good trolling and I see it's like, man, this guy's Basically the Tony Gwyn of trolling. He's like four out of four out of ten times. Somebody's reacting. He is crushing. It's like Trump. Trump's amazing at. Look how happy Trump is. Look how happy he is. He's not an unhappy man, but he's just an old unhappy bastard. Okay? He loves that you say that, because he's not. And he does. You know, people always say that dance he does is stupid. And it is. Even Melania said, oh, it's so not presidential. But then what did he do? And one of the best dancers of all time, then he breaks it out, and he made it 10 times more like he knows it drives people crazy. He knows it. And that's the parts of Trump I like are the trolling parts. Because he makes. He makes little. He makes those weirdos angry, and he makes them just.

[Byron]

It ices it for the people that. And then you don't like him to begin with. It.

[John]

They go through the moon.

[Byron]

Yeah, it's through the moon.

[John]

You have a family member that said somebody should kill him out.

[Byron]

And I'm like, I can't believe you're even saying that. Are you serious? You're kidding, right?

[John]

Decent human being.

[Byron]

The guy is just. He's just evil.

[John]

And he sits back and lasts. Now, that one's a little far. But he sits back and he goes, look, they'll go on TV and say something stupid like that. They become the nutball. And all because they just don't like when I go, I'm gonna dance. And he does the stupid, you know, jerking two guys off at once thing. It's great. I admire good trolling, and I am a troll when it comes to the Ravens, I will. I root for horrible things to happen to that city and the people who support them. If you're. If you're a hostage in Baltimore and you're just there for work and you happen to hate the Ravens, and I know most of Baltimore loves the Ravens because they got nothing. Baltimore is the quiet. Like Cleveland looks at Baltimore and goes, if Cleveland and Baltimore were like Glendale and Phoenix, Cleveland would be the nice suburb.

[Byron]

What if he went over to Harbaugh, went over to Cleveland?

[John]

Why would he do that to himself? Why would you? Imagine you just lived 18 years in the best parts of Baltimore, and I guarantee you John Harbaugh didn't live in Baltimore. He was out in the hills somewhere far, far away and had commuted into that dump.

[Byron]

Cleveland still has his place in California.

[John]

Why would you leave Baltimore? But you would if given choice. Hey, you can live in Baltimore or Cleveland. There aren't many people that wouldn't go, okay, I'll go to Cleveland. Baltimore's awful. It's a brackish water swamp of dumpster fire human beings with one of the worst accents next to Boston and all. All of the nation. It's brutal over there. All the people are fat and like, they have beards like mine, only on real fat faces. They like, they can't grow grown up beards. They're. They all look like Dennis Franz if you dipped them in motor oil. Just disgusting. And they say yo after every sentence. What happened to Ravens? Yeah. Oh, God. Baltimore. They can't even say the name.

[Byron]

You were playing yesterday that day.

[John]

Oh, stop us. He's brilliant. He makes. He's a comedian, makes fun of it, but he's a big Ravens f. But they. He's accurate when he's. When you interview anybody beat the Steelers, you. Oh, they're the worst. I'm so happy they're in turmoil. And the. And when their bridge fell last year, remember that? I was smiling. That's tragic. I would say it. Oh, geez. That's terrible. A bunch of Baltimore commuters. It's terrible. A lot of Ravens fans in there. Too bad. Like, you seem to be smiling a lot at that news, John. Yeah, it's terrible. That bridge is a. It's a lifeline to the Baltimore economy. It's too bad that happened. It's gonna take years to rebuild it. I guess that's gonna. Who's gonna. Who's gonna bring all the drugs into Baltimore now? They have to swim. It's gonna be tough.

[Byron]

A lot of people realize once they couldn't cross over the bridge, like, pretty nice over on this side.

[John]

Not going to Baltimore is better. This bridge collapse made me realize how much I hate going over there. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks, guys. Maybe should run some. They should run a tanker into the middle of the town. That would be pretty great, too. I hate Baltimore. I hate everything about it. So. And people will email. You're just an unhappy. Why do you hate. I don't care. I hate Baltimore. I would like fair warning to Baltimore, like the natural disasters coming, but half and be like, I'm staying you. And then you'd be like, good, good, good, good. Stick around. But yeah. John Harbaugh and Cardinal fans already. Well, maybe we should target Harbaugh. He's not coming here either. There's no there' to believe that a guy with the pick of all jobs is coming here. And if he wants to Come here. It's to relax. He's not going to be a good coach here. He's coming here for the nice weather. He's going to turn into resort Harbaugh, and it won't work. You need an angry, crazy person. I go back to my choice for the Cardinals, John Gruden, and make that happen. It's a. Just a good. It's just been a. It's just been really nice. And I know, again, people are like, I hope your team loses on Monday. Right? That's fine. I don't know if they're going to win or lose on Monday. I just know that the. The best part about it is the Ravens won't be there. And it's just. Again, my feet haven't touched the ground since Sunday and just. They just. And for some reason, like an hour and a half after the game, I just started floating. I was like, oh, my God. And then I just, you know, phone calls and talking to people, and I'm getting more floating. It's just. Anyway, I was just so happy. So happy, guys. I'm happy. It's good. Shouldn't you be happy for a friend who's happy no matter how some people like, geez, I love seeing John this happy. Well, why is he so happy? Oh, he's sitting there rooting for Baltimore to burn. Yeah. Oh, nobody likes that. It's no fun. Nobody wants to be around a friend who's neither. Right. You see. You see a guy with a girl, and, you know, he's like, you've seen Jeff's new girlfriend's like, yeah. And then women are like, she's a little young, like, but he's happy. Yeah, he had to go there. It's like, yeah, but he's happy. He's so happy. What happened to them? He's so happy. And then the young girl leaves him, which inevitably is gonna. And then you see your friend sad and you're like, oh, that's terrible. And then women troll and go, wasn't inevitable. Like, they just hate that.

[Byron]

I knew it.

[John]

Yeah. And they're happy. And then they get happy because he's hurt because he left for. You know, it all trickles down.

[Byron]

At least it's not, you know, the roller coaster or the highs are super high.

[John]

If they're high, then, look, take them, because without super lows, you can't have super highs. Again, like, I just made the example. If Brett has a terrible situation, don't anyone to see him get better. You don't know why that happened. You want to See him get better. But there are some people out there. My guess would be like Matthias X. If your world crumbles, he'd be like, I hope he dies in a fire. Like it brings joy to someone. It has to. It's the, it's the, it's the ups and downs of life. You don't want your friends to be.

[Byron]

Super low downs in life. I'm just saying dealing with it, just.

[John]

Knowing that they're sure, sure. But again, his lows are someone else's highs. His highs are someone else's lows. And that's just the way it has to be. I have as a friend of Brett's. Would be so sad for him if something bad happened for him and Matthias. But if you found Joy with someone else and you're like, wow, I didn't see Brett dating. I mean it would surprise us all. An elderly African American woman. That surprised us.

[Brett Vesely]

Surprised me too.

[John]

How happy he is.

[Byron]

And then as long as he's happy.

[John]

Exactly. But that happiness would make someone else very angry. And then if that breaks up and then that. It just. It has to balance.

[Brett Vesely]

I'd get a Hellcat endorsement.

[John]

You'd be killing it. You'd be wearing a lot more loose fitting clothes. I would like to see it. I think that's great. But it would, it would surprise people and there'd be people like, I don't like the new Brett. That would make them sad. And your happiness brings sadness. It just is that like my happiness of Steelers wins makes Cardinal fans upset because they're still mad at the Steelers even though it's been 20 years. Get over it. It's. You know, look, Joy is a weird thing. We all think that it's some sort of weird natural occurrence, but it isn't. Where there has to be balance and.

[Byron]

One person Cardinals right now. You know, it's okay. It's done. We got rid of. We're restarting.

[John]

Please. There's no happiness there. Oh boy.

[Byron]

Get a little.

[John]

No, they won't. They'll have a boost if they hire.

[Byron]

Someone excited for the next. What do we got?

[John]

No, they won't.

[Byron]

Nothing to lose.

[John]

They'll make a mistake. They'll. They'll hire. They're gonna hire Vance Joseph back. They already had him. He's the first interview. What are they doing anyway? I mean, proof. Remember Matt?

[Byron]

They probably called him. Can we interview you?

[John]

Well, they have to. And that's the sad part of the. The racism of the Rooney rule, which is they. They have to parade around people of color and act as if they are may or may not be serious. But that's, that's. I think it's just awful happiness. Like it's different, varying degrees. Matt Khalil, we talked about him a few months ago. His girlfriend, former wife went on a podcast and said he had a wiener the size of two and a half Coke cans.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[John]

Width and length. And we were all like, start that rumor about me. No one will ever say that, but we're all like, God, this guy just got the greatest gift of all time. He's suing her.

[Byron]

Yeah. I think at first he thought this will be good.

[John]

Oh, he's. How is it bad?

[Byron]

Well, evidently enough suing her.

[John]

He said he was. He was really hurt by it and general genuinely shocked that his ex wife said that. He said he's frank. He broke his silence about his ex wife Haley saying that his penis was. Was why their marriage ended. And he said it was invasive commentary. It ruined his attempt of keeping out of the public eye since he was out of football. And that just basically says he hates her and her sadness will bring him joy. So he's even with that rumor that all of us would kill for. Right. All of us would kill to have someone say that about us publicly. Even that wasn't enough for him to say, nope, She's I'm gonna wreck her life. And that'll bring joy to me.

[Byron]

Here's what I'm saying. I think he's bringing more attention to it in a way because he's like, you know what? I want her to stop. This is really affecting me. I would like $75,000.

[John]

I want to stay out of the public eye.

[Byron]

Millions.

[John]

Right.

[Byron]

You've ruined my life.

[John]

But again, but whatever hurts her. He's not going for big number. All this lawsuit of 100 grand says to me is what can she. What's going to hurt her? It's like, I don't know, maybe she can afford 100,000. Sue her for 75. Our company did it here. They tried that. And what's going to make him feel bad? And that would have brought joy to people here. That's what that brings joy to people. That this dude. And you're probably right. A little bit of it's like, hey, nobody's talking about my giant three coke can dick anymore. I should probably bring that back into the public eye, you know, that ruined my life. I just like, oh my God. And nobody's on his side.

[Byron]

Whenever he sat around, like, could you imagine if you got money for that?

[John]

You imagine if one. Yeah. Larry, first off, you wrecked her for all other men with that triple coke can you got down there. So she's. That's damaging news for her. Like, if you found part tunnel. Look, if you mean it's. You know, if you and I, Brett, were out and I'm like, hey, that's that Haley Khalil. Remember her? Like, oh, yeah, she's hot. Like, yeah, but her ex husband, she.

[Byron]

Was taking a tall boy as a.

[John]

Triple coke can for a wiener. We'll be like, oh, she's off the. I'm out. She's. All of us are out. And the one dude that wanders over there, it says, how you doing, Haley? My name's Kevin's. Like, that dude's got a triple coke can or he wouldn't be talking to her. And then. And that's the thing. I'll give it a whirl. But he's suing for this terrible news that she broke about him. And all that is to me is, I'm gonna get that again. He's not suing because he's really upset about having a triple coke can. Something, something. Check out homework's morning sickness [e-mail] Holmberg's morning sickness.

[Brett Vesely]

I can't believe he's soon.

[Byron]

Okay, speaking, guys, 75, 000 will make up for that mental anger.

[John]

Oh, all the pain he's gone through with that terrible information that was leaked about him. He said, it just hurt me. So much value.

[Byron]

Should we put on this now?

[Brett Vesely]

It hurt her.

[John]

Yeah. He's already hurt her physically. Now he's gonna financially ding her. And in the divorce, I'm sure he got. He's like, man, she took an awful lot. They probably lost the house and everything else. He just wants to just throw a bomb.

[Byron]

He's like, if I had this, I could get this classic car I've wanted. Let's put it for that amount.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

He can go on pornhub and make some money and get that classic car himself.

[John]

He wants to hit. Look, Brett.

[Byron]

But why do that?

[John]

He just wants privacy. That's it. That's why he's gone up to TMZ and told him, I'm gonna sue this awful for saying I have a triple coke can wiener. Remember that part? No one is ever going to do that in my lifetime. I can live to be a thousand. There can be surgery after surgery. No one's ever gonna say, I really loved him, but his wiener was so big. I had to. I had to leave the house. That's never. I'M never gonna have none of us.

[Byron]

And by doing this, will they eventually have to say, well, look, you're. We need to. We need to see it. The court.

[John]

Yeah. And then you gotta whip it out. I would say, no problem if I.

[Brett Vesely]

Was packing like that.

[John]

I would sue someone if she broke up with me and didn't mention I had a triple coke can Dick. Like, if I had one of those. She's like, it's just. He was just. We didn't get along anymore. Tell him why. No, I mean, it was like a personal thing. Tell them why. I mean, we didn't have sex much. Tell them why. I'd be on the other side of that courtroom. Please, Mr. Holmberg, will you let the. Well, she's not being honest. Your honor, the reason we're not together anymore is because of this giant cocaine. Let me show you. I wouldn't even wear pants if I had a triple coke can. I'd walk around every day and they'd be like, indecent exposure. And I'm like, indecent. I think I'm giving the world a show here. Let's get the word indecent out of it. I am exposing myself, but I'd rock.

[Brett Vesely]

Around, swinging it like a pocket watch.

[John]

It's like a Chihuly exhibit. It's magnificent. People would pay money to come see it.

[Byron]

Could sell sponsors on it.

[John]

He's suing for invasion of privacy. And highly intimate and private facts regarding his physical person and sex life have been publicized. He said she also received substantial financial benefit. Increased viewership and increased engagement. So much like his wiener. Her audience grew to sizes that were unreasonable for her content. And there's truth to that. So basically, what he saw, he's been.

[Byron]

Making money off that.

[John]

Her little podcast and her YouTube that boosted piece of that. A lot of people were like, nobody.

[Brett Vesely]

Knew who the hell she was.

[John]

No.

[Brett Vesely]

Until.

[John]

And he wants to harm that. He wants her. She's real happy. Like, I'm funny. I made a little quirk about him in there. He's like, you know what? That's my dick. Here we go.

[Byron]

Another episode about it.

[John]

Yeah, it's awesome. And he's getting everything he needs. And she's gonna have to cease and desist, but I would love to call lawyers. And I'm like, someone to cease and desist. Talking about big wiener. It's just something I can't even imagine. And at first I read it, I'm like, what a baby. And then I realized, oh, no, he just hates her. He just hates her. He's looking for a reason.

[Byron]

What if he's in a new relationship? And the girls. You're letting her get there.

[John]

Yeah, well, the bottom line is he hates her. He's tired of her. They got divorced. And you look at her and you're like, she's hot. And he's like, I actually have no idea. I lived with it. And then he's suing her for finance because she also probably benefited heavily from his football career when they got divorced. And he's like, I took all those hits. I'm risking cte, and there she is in my old house. You never lifted a finger. And she's gonna start talking about me now. I gotta hurt her. I gotta. I gotta zing.

[Brett Vesely]

That he probably caused with that crank of his, too.

[John]

Yeah. Can you imagine the mental damage to that?

[Byron]

You can do an endorsement. This is Matt Khalil for ream air conditioning.

[John]

Yes, ream. That's right, Matt Khalil. When you think of Matt Khalil, think of the word ream. Yeah, I like it. Like, he's like the. Anything that's got the word deep in it. Deep dish pizza. That's right, Matt Khalil. And I like to go deep with my pizza. I'm known for it. When you think of Matt Khalil, you think deep.

[Byron]

The pipe fitters union, Joy.

[Brett Vesely]

The plumbing companies, all over, endorsements.

[John]

I love it. Anyway, so. But again, joy, misery. There's all. You know, when there's one, there has to be the opposite. There has to be. The Simpsons fans will get it. The Frank Grimes for every Homer Simpson that's out there. By the way, the Simpsons have an episode that people are. All the psychics are out. You know, I forget about this every year, but January, the first couple weeks of January, the psychics are all out. And they're a little bit upset because they. They usually start talking about what's going to happen in 2026, right around the first week of it. And almost all of them are like, hey, we knew the Venezuela thing was going to happen. All right, calm down. You missed it. It happened too fast. It was like January 2nd. You screwed it all up by not being there in November. But there's three prominent ones, including that baba venga thing that comes up every January. She died back in the. I don't know when, but all three big ones are saying there'll be a contact with aliens this year. Like, they will actually reach out and make contact this year. And that's not so bad. I think that would be a good.

[Byron]

I mean, Would you put them in line with Mel Kuiper on, oh, the draft success?

[John]

Yeah, 17%.

[Byron]

Go back.

[John]

Mel Kuiper has a 17% success rate on his draft mock drafts on where people are going. And you have to remember that 17% includes. We always know the first two or three and he's missed a few of those. But I mean, if you, if you get, if you get given the first three or four answers every year, that's about 12 or 13. All you have to do is get one right later and your, your numbers are going. People still give him tons and tons of money to be 17% accurate. That's not right.

[Byron]

Then again, it's like, well, these are, this is my opinion on what this team should pick.

[John]

Well, then you're not, you're not right. But that's not what.

[Byron]

He's not listening to me.

[John]

It's a mock draft. He's basically saying, here's the direction they will go. And people like, oh, Kuiper says we're going to go this way. He's not saying it's my opinion is what I think if I was the gm. He's saying this is the best pick available. This is where they'll go. This fills their need. And he's almost always wrong. Same with these psychics, though. But they're all saying that, you know, they knew about Venezuela. There's a couple of them says there's going to be a lot of strife. All three of them are saying volcanoes are going to make a big like 20, 26 impact, which. Write it down and think about that. We don't live by really active ones. Although San Francisco Peak is technically an active volcano. We would notice if it started to bubble.

[Byron]

There's one or two. One I know that supposed to have erupt in the last thousand years. It'd been very consistent for like.

[John]

Sure.

[Byron]

Once every hundred years. It would go 100 years. Happened a while back. It's going to happen this year.

[John]

Look how fast. I never understood it. We went when Brady And I in 2005, we're in Hawaii together. And you've been back since. And we played that one golf course that has fresh lava.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[John]

And. And it's kind of no fun because if you make a mistake, it's that thing's. It's pinball. The ball hits lava. It goes great. And it also rips up the golf.

[Byron]

Ball that try to find it on the moon.

[John]

Pumice is brutal. And that lava rock was horrible. And I'm like, how fast. There's houses all over and like, this stuff, some of it's still smoking. And you're like, how fast do you move when the mountain starts glowing orange?

[Byron]

Yeah, how fast? Like, I ain't moving.

[John]

Yeah, but they don't. Like, Hawaii's nice, but it's not that nice. And there's other islands without volcanoes.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[John]

That particular island, that one is constantly bubbling up. So if I'm in Flagstaff and they say, you know, San Francisco Peaks are actually. Technically, it's an active volcano. And. Okay. Yeah. But we're not seeing anything, right? Like, nope. And then one day, it just goes. And a little orange comes out of it. I can't tell you how fast I would pack a U Haul. Like, this is not going the. This is not a one off.

[Byron]

This is just a bubble.

[John]

The volcanoes don't ever just go. They used to before we had scientists. Now we're pretty sure. All right, this is. This is not good. Like, you never see. What's this? That beautiful orange line coming out of the top on that pretty. I hope that stays forever. It's. It's. It's letting you know. Hey, guys, I'm a little sick. It's drool before a dog barfs. If you want to look at it that way. That noise your dog make, you got to pick him up and get him outside. Weird little hunch thing. That's a dog volcano. If a mountain's doing it. Move. I don't get it. So the volcanoes are an easy one. When the psychics are like volcanoes. Unexpected volcano. They usually smoke a little before or bubble if it just blows up out of nowhere. I mean, even new.

[Byron]

You gotta have some options on that around the world. I mean, that are pretty consistent.

[John]

Right? But. And people are comfortable with it. Like, yeah, it does that all the time. The idiots in Hawaii are like, that thing's always going. I'm like, you know, eventually it's gonna have a moment, and your golf courses are gonna be covered in that weird. And remember a couple years ago and those. They had to warn them to stop getting close to the. It's running down the thing. They had that thing in Iceland and. Guys, enough. The sulfur in the air is gonna kill you, let alone the fiery lava river. Yeah, but we want pictures. Oh, my God. Instagram's made everybody stupid.

[Brett Vesely]

Why don't you jump in? You'll get a closer shot.

[John]

I agree with that. Although you and I did visit one. It wasn't going, but it was smoking a little bit, and we were on top of it.

[Byron]

Well, I guess we'd Vaporize. If anything happened on that, that's where.

[John]

I want to be. If it decided to rumble, but I'm moving, I'll visit it when it settles. But if, say, if. You know these. These psychs are like volcanoes. I'm like, that's an easy one to get around. Same as those hurricane morons. They get worn for days and days and days. And I got one blur. There's one brewing out in the Atlantic. And here's what path we think. If you're in the path, they think, don' Wood at Home Depot. Get a U Haul. Grab your childhood stuff, some pictures, things you like in your house. Pack it up, have a plan, and do it. Day one. Because you see that traffic shot in the news every year. They can't even get out of here. Those poor bastards in Fort Myers are going to stay for. You idiots had five days. You all chose the same time to leave. I've made this very clear. I love Phoenix for a lot of reasons, but one of them is because nothing like that's going to happen happen. If camelback. I've said it a thousand times, suddenly just got up and walked around for a minute. I'd move. I'd move away. Like, sometimes that mountain gets up and moves. Like, what does it do? Oh, it crushes parts of the city we can't predict.

[Byron]

Thousands of homes.

[John]

Usually it's late summer, early fall, and we have to take that chance. I'm like, I'm not living here. That's. You guys live where the mountain sometimes walks around. Yep.

[Byron]

I've got camelback insurance.

[John]

Yeah. And then you gotta pay extra just in case the mountain goes and moves over to Glendale. Not doing it. Nothing bad happens here. We have something called micro bursts. It's the worst you can. And you get around. Has to hit you directly. It's almost like lightning. But these psychics, they're going nuts for 2026. And the big one was the aliens, which I'm rooting for. There's something, something. Check out Homework's Morning Sickness podcast at 98kupd.comberg's Morning Morning Sickness. But they say earthquakes and volcanoes will be a big deal in 2026. That's like, even Baba Venga had written down the year 2026 for volcanic activity.

[Byron]

And, you know, now we've got Gravity Day.

[John]

Or, you know, Gravity Days. That's the one I.

[Byron]

That's.

[John]

That's got me. That's got my attention. The double black hole Gravity Day. And through all my nonsense over the break, Brett's Decided to dive into some conspiracy theories and now doesn't believe that the Vegas shooter exists.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, man. That thing's.

[John]

That's going around.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm telling you, man. When you. If you listen to that podcast. You're back. Whoa. This.

[John]

Yeah, he was on Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson's a little. He's got a little reputation being nuts, but he's interviewing a guy who's doing all the studying of the Vegas shooting. And you. And you don't. I've. I haven't. You listened to the whole thing?

[Brett Vesely]

I'm. I've got like a half hour left on it. Because it's like two and a half hours.

[John]

Yeah, I can't do that.

[Brett Vesely]

So I just listened to a little bit in the car when I'm coming to work and stuff like that, so.

[John]

But what's the big takeaway so far?

[Brett Vesely]

That he was probably dead while the shootings were still happening. They're saying there was helicopters in the air.

[John]

What?

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, yeah.

[John]

For what reason?

[Byron]

Took them out. Like snipers took them out or something.

[Brett Vesely]

They're saying that it's kind of a covert job. It's.

[John]

For what reason, though?

[Brett Vesely]

They don't. They don't 100% know. They're thinking that the Saudis may have something to do with it because possibly one of the Saudi princes were. Was staying, I think at the Four Seasons. It's crazy. I haven't got to the final nail in it.

[John]

I read a little about, like.

[Byron]

So then that would be. It was a soft target. Let's.

[John]

Well, it's a safety. Everything that that happens is for safety. Later is to say we can do more now for your safety. That's usually a money.

[Brett Vesely]

There were shootings reported, like at the Bellagio and everything else, but nothing ever got reported. But there's. There's phone calls and they have. You know, with technology nowadays, that stuff just gets out there.

[John]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

You know, body cam footage that wasn't supposed to be released. And. And a lot of this stuff was put out before AI so it's not like new stuff. It's been on YouTube for like six, seven, eight years.

[John]

So first thing I saw when I started reading about this was AI like, oh, they're screwing with this thing and we're gonna get fooled. And then I saw that all of it is like, real.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[John]

And then. But now AI can get involved. I worry about all this kind of the conspiracy theory stuff with AI combined is going to make us all a little bit crazy.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, yeah. People mysteriously dying after the. The ones that Were very loud about it afterwards, posting all their stuff online.

[John]

People that's the weirdest dying to me is the how fast that whole thing went away. We were there a week after and they still had the board up on the Mandalay and they had all the Vegas strong stuff. And even then I remember watching the news there and it was just over. And I think everybody said it's over because they got the guy. But like the motivating factor. My casino hostess knew the guy because he was a gambler.

[Byron]

Yeah.

[John]

You know, it just all sort of disappeared.

[Byron]

And I, you know, back when it was saying when they opened it back up in less week, which is amazing. But I thought, oh well, I can understand. That's a lot of money for that casino to be shut down for that amount of time. That's what I'm saying. So it was, you know, money, revenue.

[John]

Yeah. They said to shut a room off. That's. They basically closed the floor. Big deal.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. Mandalay's huge.

[John]

Yeah, it's massive. Yeah, it's. Yeah. I gotta, I now see, I gotta get on.

[Brett Vesely]

I'm telling you. It's. But I mean it's like they.

[John]

What was the eye right here?

[Brett Vesely]

They got the whole, they got the whole shootings.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Like all the reported where somebody called in, videos where they died. They got the phone calls listed up here. I mean like all kinds of crazy stuff.

[John]

No kidding.

[Brett Vesely]

They were talking that there was an active shooter at McCarran afterwards.

[John]

There's like a full out war going on in Vegas.

[Brett Vesely]

That's what they're saying.

[John]

This was the distraction.

[Brett Vesely]

Yes, yes. And yeah, there were. And somebody said there was an active shooter on, on one of the runways and you hear the, the tower guys say kill the lights on runways 19 and 18 or something like that. Yeah, it's. It's goofy.

[John]

Oh boy.

[Brett Vesely]

But again like all these videos and stuff that are all that have been available, they're all over YouTube. Like they've been out for eight, nine years now. So it's not like, you know, like I said, it's not. AI.

[John]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Helicopters that were supposed to be. That are in the air and stuff like that around Mandalay and stuff like that.

[John]

Oh boy. Yeah, oh boy.

[Brett Vesely]

They're thinking that he may have been an arms dealer.

[John]

Man.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, it's. It's. You gotta listen to it. There's so much.

[John]

Oh boy. I don't need to know any of this stuff. But they always build that big false flag to make us feel like, oh no, it's us. Meanwhile, something covert is Going on in the background with this big blast is happening to us, and then we lose our minds over how random it was, and you find out it wasn't that random. That's kind of what I had read. I didn't read this thing about the Saudis, but they said that foreign invasion. Yeah, I'm like, I don't know if I want to read about that.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, I guess they were saying the Saudis were training their air force, like, a week earlier out in the desert somewhere. And so that may be where the helicopters came from things. I mean, it's. Yeah, it's all kinds of crazy stuff. Like tomorrow.

[John]

That's my thing. I was with Nash yesterday.

[Brett Vesely]

You have to ask about this tomorrow.

[John]

Oh, not that. Friends with that guy. Oh, man. Oh, yeah.

[Byron]

No, I got it.

[John]

Yeah. Oh, he doesn't have anything solved, but he certain. He sure does raise the flags. And I don't know what side I want to be on. Knowing or not knowing. You think happy and stupid sometimes is a little bit better.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, I'm kind of on that.

[John]

Might go down Brady's route there and just start playing the song, wandering around. Put those glasses on and not care and say stupid stuff like Brady says all the time, it's my time to go. Then it's my time. What the hell? And I don't worry about dying. I worry about getting clipped and being, like, half veg, sitting on something and being the face of that horrible incident forever where I, you know, where the last thing I want to be is a guy in a chair with wobbly eyes and one tooth left and why all their teeth always fall out. One tooth left, and they're like. And this heroic patron who just wanted to go to a concert, and I'm. And then I'm. Phoenix strong. That's the. Oh, look at how strong he is. Screaming phoenix strong. I don't want to be that guy.

[Brett Vesely]

Think about the last thing you heard was country music, too.

[John]

See, now again, you know, I mean, that makes me comfortable because there's no chance I'll ever be in a country music crowd ever. So I'm like, I was never at risk. That's. You know, that's like saying there's been an attack on top of Mount Everest. It's never gonna happen to me.

[Byron]

Was it like the movie? The jerk?

[John]

He doesn't like, look, look, country music. You know, there's a threat on that. Don't tell me there's no chance I'll be close to it. I avoid that more than I would the volcano well, now I gotta look into that. Damn you.

[Brett Vesely]

Telling you it's interesting.

That's garbage. But it's out there. And then you start. And then you start recognizing that. Oh, my God. Well, again, I go back to my one friend who was a special ops contractor, and I didn't even know what that meant. But when he told me that day, he said, hey, I'm going to be deep in whatever I'm doing. He goes, let me know if there's something weird that happens this weekend because we're bringing tanks to Mexico and I don't know what we're doing yet, but I know I'm in on it. No kidding. He goes, yeah, we got to do some training exercise, stuff like that. And we're actually in on it. And that was the weekend when he told me that on like a Tuesday. And then disappeared for six days and then came back. And he goes, what happened? And I said, gabby Giffords got shot in a parking lot. And he goes, yep. And he said, meanwhile, we had air support at the Mexican border. I'm like, what was going on? And it wasn't military. It was contractors, former military, black ops guys that were down there doing something to someone and making it horrible. And all it was is a scroll across the bottom of the screen while we all focused in on this tragedy that happened. And I'm not saying it was fake, but it sure was weird that they put up this thing to make us all go, what happened over here? Meanwhile, we have a little war with Mexico that we can't let people know what's going on. And he was in it.

[Byron]

I wonder if there's any families. Like, yep, we're heading out for the holidays.

[John]

Where you going?

[Byron]

Valenzuela. We're gonna head to Valentine's for the holidays.

[John]

Just for a couple days. Might be back day or day or two after. Well, Lovett's and I had lunch, and his friend is a former black ops guy. And Lovett's asking, he goes, how did anybody. Like, who pulled that off? Guys like you, right? And he just text back, well, you know. And that was all he wrote. And you're like, okay, you just made this ten times bigger crazy. Anyway, idiots. We're all too dumb. And we think we're. We think we've got it all figured out because the Internet. But we don't.

[Brett Vesely]

And sometimes I don't want to know.

[John]

I don't want to.

[Brett Vesely]

Like, even after digging through this, my. Do I really want to know.

[John]

I've gotten a lot of emails about.

[Byron]

That, and Then you get like, well, it's been going on.

[John]

Yeah. See this? There he goes. See what he did? There he goes. That's the stuff we're talking about. Nothing you can do if it's my time and it's the right way to be dumb. Stuff like you were about to say, nothing you can do. It's been going on the whole time.

[Byron]

Well, I know it stinks to feel that way.

[John]

Sure. But listen to the song and put the glasses back on if it's my time, and then go dip into a raisin canes and everything seems fine. I'm with you on that brain. My brain just goes, yeah, it has been going on the whole time. And now I kind of want to know all the stuff that's been going on. Stuff. Some stuff I don't. If it's going to affect me later, you know, like, if it's going to crumble an economy. That's when I worry.

[Byron]

And then you're trying to figure out, well, can I. Can I catch it next time? Like, see the signs? You can't.

[John]

No. You only see after. But. And. But then it's interesting to say, okay, the people who did this did it so clumsily. We can't. We can't let them know that this stuff does go on. Yeah. Somebody's been emailing. I got a lot of emails about that whole thing about the Vegas shooting. And, like, you got to listen to this guy. I think the guy was on Rogan, too, but he did a long time ago.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay. Yeah.

[John]

I think the Carlson thing's, like, in depth about just this.

[Brett Vesely]

It's. It's scary. Like, if that's. If that's true. It's scary.

[John]

Yeah. That's what I always say about conspiracies. You have to get so many people on board. It's amazing that one guy doesn't speak out. And then when you talk to conspiracy people, they're always like, people have spoken out. This guy got hit by a car. Yeah. This guy ended up. It was like lightning hit him. Really. It's like all the people that have tried to speak out end up having weird things happen to them. And then. So now you wonder about this dude.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. I mean, they were talking about one guy who was really loud about it. Him and his. I think his wife got shot or something at the thing. And he was real loud about it. Yeah, they both got killed in a car accident, like, a couple months later and stuff. Like, I mean, just a lot of.

[John]

Were they Ravens fans? Were they Ravens?

[Brett Vesely]

Well, they were wearing lamargers.

[John]

Okay. Yeah. And it was worth it. Thank you, Saudi Arabia. Let's get a wake up song, shall we? A good one. Now that Brett's made us all think of the Dark web and the black ops. 585-9800. You give it to us, we'll scream at its 98k up. Wake up. It's not weird.

[Byron]

It's pretty cool, actually.

[John]

No membership fee. I have heard enough of this.
