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

John Holmberg
I thought that one would wear on me poorly, but it is the opposite. I'm enjoying. Never thought I'd say this. I'm enjoying making love to Morgan Wallen quite a bit. Quite a bit. My friend Kyle says, john, I don't know how you've done it. Where is that? Basically said, it's the quote. Another beautiful quote by you. And he said, I had to make this for you. And he made a little Hallmark card. It says, if the rape is good enough, it leads to love. Signed John Holmberg. And that is a quote I have in my. But he's worried. He said, I accidentally searched this quote because I was trying to see if it had been said before. And then when I hit enter, I realized you're my Epstein.

Co-host or Producer
How about this one for you? Epic. Elvis Presley in concert.
John Holmberg

He does a full Instagram thing. And of Elvis losing his mind on stage. And he's AI'd Elvis doing terrible things. So he'll be like, I just told everybody. I just. I just wanted everybody to be caught in a trap. And he'd start song. And he just pulls a gun out and he starts shooting at the audience. And Brady goes, is that real? Like, we'd have heard of this. That or it's almost when, like, Dale thought his you, hello game he was playing was still on when he landed. He's.
Co-host or Producer
You haven't convinced him otherwise.
John Holmberg
He doesn't understand that when he landed, the game being on, it's still playing, Johnny. Yeah, I don't think they had tape.
John Holmberg (Ad voice)
You weren't there.
Brett Vesely
How was it still playing?
Co-host or Producer
What's this on this is a movie out in theaters directed by Boss Luhrmann. He put together a bunch of footage and interviews with Elvis.
John Holmberg
All of his research for the Elvis movie with Austin Butler is basically what you're looking at.

I always keep streaming on this.
John Holmberg
Me too, but that'll be great.

It's John Holmberg here from the morning sickness for lifechangerloan.com I got a little note from Shane O', Grady, the head cheese over at Life Changer Loan. He said, this week three wonderful listeners all made the move to Life Changer Loan, and each of them will be paying off their homes in under four years. That's right. And that's normal, too. So many people try to refinance. Go to lifechangerloan.com and see if it's right for you. Maybe you like paying debt off for 30 years and spending $200,000 extra in interest. I don't. I know a better way. And it's not magic. It's just math. Lifechangerloan.com It's John Holberg here from the Morning Sickness to tell you about the Core Institute. People who met me found out that I've had four major operations in the last four years. They're blown away. I've had both shoulders replaced and both hips replaced because I was an absolute disaster. Before my surgeries, I was in pain. Now no one knows I've had any issues. People who hear multiple surgeries assume they'll never be the same again. It's just not true. I'm better than I've been in 20 years. Stop quitting the things you love and get back to being the pain free, free you. You love the Core Institute. Com.
