1. Heartwarming Shelter Dog Update

[00:19 – 01:54]

• Brady shares the success story of Grayson, a shelter dog with unique needs, who finally found a home after 700 days in a shelter.
• He praises Lost Our Home Pet Rescue for their persistent efforts and expresses delight that Grayson’s distinct, marble-like blue eyes have a new family to enchant.
• Quote:
  • “Grayson is no longer in the shelter. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean, hey, the shelter's one less. Nope. I'm sure there'll be more coming in. It's a never-ending cycle.” – Brady [01:36]

---

2. Brief Plug for Ground-Fighting Self-Defense

[01:54 – 03:26]

• Brady recaps his session at React Defense, humorously detailing a “schizophrenic” day that started with football and ended with learning the art of “shrimping” on the mat.
• He emphasizes the practical reality that real fights often go to the ground quickly, and self-defense skills are crucial.

---

3. Hulk Hogan and Emmy In Memoriam Controversy

[03:26 – 03:53]

• Discussion about Linda Hogan’s claim that Hulk Hogan was left out of the Emmys “In Memoriam” because of his political stance.
• Brady quickly shoots down the idea:
  • “No, it's because he said the N word a bunch of times.” – Brady [03:34]
• Group consensus: Hogan’s checkered personal history, including racist language and unpopular appearances, contributed more than politics to the snub.

---

4. Jessica Simpson’s Boat Gift (and Plastic Cups) Saga

[04:17 – 06:38]

• The team digs into the odd story of Jessica Simpson having to sign over the title of a $100,000 boat she’d gifted Tony Romo back in 2009.
  • Romo wanted to sell the boat, but it was still in her name – so she had to sign it over years later.
• The panel marvels at Simpson’s generosity (questioning buying such a lavish gift after just two years of dating) and laughs at Romo’s “thank you” for the paperwork: a set of plastic cups.
• Memorable Quotes:
  • “Somebody gives you a boat and you give them some solo cups, there’s going to be a noticeable exchange problem here. That’s not fair.” – Brady [05:40]
  • “He might have shoved one in her or something… We don’t know their plastic cup ties. It might have been a joke between the two of them…” – Brady [06:38]

---

5. Ed Sheeran’s Posthumous Album Plan

[07:05 – 07:27]

• Ed Sheeran has prepared an album of unreleased songs to be released only after his death—it’s actually in his will.
• The panel finds this an intriguing idea, with Brady approving:
  • “I like that. It's a good idea.” – Brady [07:15]

---

6. Coachella Lineup Chatter

[07:36 – 08:08]

• Quick takes on the newly announced Coachella openers: Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G headline, with the panel playfully bickering about Devo’s relevance.

---

7. Elton John’s Jewelry Made of His Own Kneecaps

[08:11 – 09:01]

• Elton John reportedly had his old kneecaps, removed during surgery, turned into jewelry.
  • The jeweler dried and baked the bone, turning them into a gold-plated necklace and a brooch.
• Brady laments not getting to keep his own removed bones:
  • “I wasn’t allowed to keep my shoulder caps and I wanted them like a brooch, a pterodactyl.” – Brady [08:55]

---

8. Eating Your Own Organs? The Panel Goes Off the Rails

[09:01 – 10:23]

• The conversation veers to the bizarre: Would you taste or eat your own removed kidney or other organs?
• Brady commits to at least tasting his own kidney if allowed, humorously justifying:
  • “It would take me a week before I’d have to at least lick it. You wouldn’t just feeling that in your hands, squeeze it. I would have to take at least a little. I would eat a little of me.” – Brady [09:16]
  • “Think of how many times you’ve, like, eaten a scab or sucked blood out of your body…You know, a general blood flavor.” – Brady [10:27]
• The crew jokes about how much worse things they’ve eaten and riffs on the potential for a dark “Dexter” episode about organ-eating.

---

9. Closing Notes

• The crew wraps it up with the usual banter, signing off for the day.

---

Notable Moments and Tone

• The chemistry is irreverent and playful, with Brady’s fast quips and willingness to push jokes into the absurd—especially during discussions about odd gifts and eating body parts.
• The show blends news, mockery, and fictional speculation (“Maybe Romo and Simpson had a plastic cup thing…”)—all in a conversational Arizona morning-show tone.

---

Summary Takeaway:
This episode covered a quirky spectrum: from real-life stories about rescue dogs and posthumous albums, to absurdist riffs on gifting etiquette (boats vs. plastic cups), and the dark comedy of eating your own organs. If you enjoy irreverent banter that gleefully veers off-topic, this Entertainment Drill is for you.

Transcript

[Brady]

You're listening to the HMS podcast brought to you by MMP Guns.com, your most trusted online marketplace for firearms, ammunition and accessories. You thought that was funny? You were laughing like a hyena when he said it.

[Commercial Announcer]

What the hell is wrong with you?

[Brady]

We're almost on time. Hot dog. Don't know how we're done it. By the way, before we move on, I have to say something I forgot to say yesterday. I want to say today. Lost our home pet rescue. Massive success on the weekend they found a home for Grayson. And we have featured Grayson a couple of times. Grayson was that dog Brett with the silver blue eyes. Remember that? Beautiful dog. Amazing dog. Had little quirks, couldn't be around other dogs very much and like, had to be super specific for somebody. 700 days at the shelter has a. So again, another wildly awesome patient story. And Grayson started getting a little institutionalized where he's getting a little grumpy, a little depressed, and then he'd come out of it and you go back into it and Grayson was kind of having some, you know, highs and lows. But they found a home. Great people who found a great spot. So Grayson is no longer in the shelter. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean, hey, the shelter's one less. Nope. I'm sure there'll be more coming in. It's a never ending cycle. But when you see little stories like that, you realize what great people work over there at lost their home parent rescue. So nice work to my friends over there. Good work. And Grayson, congratulations. And to the people who got Grayson. You have the coolest looking dog I've ever seen. If they still have pictures of Grayson on their website or their Instagram, the eyes and the pictures don't do it justice in person. It's even crazier. They're. What do they call those things? Those marbles that were.

[Co-host]

They had a. Agates.

[Brady]

Agates. No, I know that's another name for Marvel, but they had the ones that were. They had the Steelies, which were just plain steel. And another name for the ones that were electric white blue. And that was what his eyes looked like. They looked painted. It was incredible. So great work. Lost our own pet rescue. I'm proud to be a little tiny piece of that organization. They do great work. It's time now for the entertainment drill. It's brought to you by our [e-mail] the home of tactical black self defense training. Yesterday we were over there. I was up there, and we end up throwing the football around for a while and running around doing stuff like that. And the next thing you know, we're doing ground fighting. It was a schizophrenic day, but it was awesome. All sorts of training. We were just playing football to goof around and then I was throwing. I haven't thrown a football in forever. It felt great. And then we got on the ground and started doing some fighting and it was a blast. Learning ground stuff I've never known before because statistically any sort of street fight, like 99 of them go to the ground in seconds and they don't last much longer than 12 or 13 seconds max. So you better know what to do. And little weird things that you start to learn. Something called shrimping, which I'm terrible at, but I will get better at it. And the more we do it, the more fun I had. It was a great time yesterday and I am, to be honest with you, dead tired today. I am worn out. The workout kicked in all my muscles that I don't normally use. I used them yesterday and it feels fantastic. Get in great shape. Learn something about yourself, learn something about society, then implement it all and become a sheepdog. That's how it works. Reactdefense.com it's the home of Tactical Black Brady Entertainment.

[Co-host]

Hulk Hogan's ex wife Linda thinks that he was left out of the Emmys In Memoriam segment because of his Trump supporter.

[Brady]

No, it's because he said the N word a bunch of times.

[Co-host]

It's just a guess. Said considering the way he was treated his last appearance in la.

[Brady]

He got busted for that N word problem that he had on that leaked call and it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. And then the Trump thing probably didn't help in Hollywood. It's a combination of a bunch of Hulk Hoganisms.

[Co-host]

Yeah, because I guess supposedly he was talking about when he was booed out of the building on Monday night. Raw back in January. Also left out. But I know there is Gene Hackman, Val Kilmer, Tony Todd, but they're mostly over the movie.

[Brady]

I think Tony Todd did some TV stuff, but.

[Co-host]

Jessica Simpson recently had to sign over a hundred thousand dollar boat she bought Tony romo back in 2009. He gave her mom a call saying I'm selling the boat that she gave me back in 2009. Yeah, but her name is on the title. Oh, I needed to sign it over.

[Brady]

Wait, how long did they date that she bought him a boat?

[Co-host]

I think they were together from 2000 oh, 2007 through 2009.

[Brady]

No, I see it said you think that. That makes me nervous when you think that and then just throw it numbers. But that's on the paper and I.

[Co-host]

Just saw it on the paper.

[Brady]

2 years math I ever bought you a boat? Waiting took more than two years, Jessica.

[Co-host]

Two years got him a boat. First 29th birthday.

[Brady]

Come on. We blew it, boys. He could afford because of the women. That's what I'm saying. It's because we're not high profile men.

[Co-host]

So she signed it over and she goes, she was telling a story on stage, I guess the other night and said, sign it over to him. And guess what he gave me as a thank you.

[Brady]

Oh, boy.

[Co-host]

Plastic cups.

[Brady]

Nice plastic cups.

[Co-host]

So she says, wow.

[Brady]

Well, already got those.

[Co-host]

I'm glad we didn't work out.

[Brady]

Well, I mean, on his boat it might get rocky. You can't have glass.

[Co-host]

Well, that's a gift too.

[Brady]

It's not like that wasn't a fair gift though. Somebody gives you a boat and you give them some solo cups, there's going to be a noticeable exchange problem here. That's not fair. That's Trump's tariffs are based totally on stuff like this.

[Co-host]

A birthday gift.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

Of a car. And you turn around and that was your birthday gift. And 10 years later you sell the car.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

You reach out to that person that gave you a car and give them a gift for that.

[Brady]

What are you talking about? She didn't give him cups now or she didn't.

[Co-host]

She gave him the boat as a birthday present on his 29th birthday and.

[Brady]

He gave her cups for her birthday.

[Co-host]

No, he's saying she got as a thank you. Oh, he sent her plastic cup.

[Brady]

Well, we didn't have to get her anything. I know her name off the title. That was an fu. And yeah, I'm good without you. You bought him a boat? Crazy. Fifteen years ago, you lunatic.

[Co-host]

Can't expect something back from him.

[Brady]

I mean, it's nice that he got him plastic cups are kind of a.

[Co-host]

Thanks for signing it over.

[Brady]

Better just not do anything. And maybe there's something we don't know during their relationship that like, is a little tip of the cap to plastic cups. They might have. He might have shoved one in her or something. Or they used them for like he would fill them up for her and then she'd drink it as a protein shake in the morning. We don't know their plastic cup ties. It might have been a joke between the two of them, but he would have been better off not getting her anything. Just saying, get off the. Here's an Applebee's gift card. Yeah. Get some riblets. That sounds all right.

[Co-host]

Ed Sheeran says he has plans for an album when he dies to be released after he dies.

[Brady]

Eject. I like that. It's a good idea.

[Co-host]

And it's in his will.

[Brady]

It'll have 10 or 12 songs that he'll have recorded ready to go pop out after he does.

[Co-host]

It's his 10 best unreleased songs he's written since he was 18.

[Brady]

That's.

[Co-host]

They did the announcement of opening for Coachella. Coachella.

[Brady]

Coachella.

[Co-host]

Coachella. Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Carol G. Huge, Devo.

[Brady]

Not huge.

[Co-host]

They're not there.

[Brady]

They're not. They're on.

[Co-host]

They're on there, but they're not the.

[Brady]

They're not heavily. We know that. Bieber, Carol G. And who?

[Co-host]

Any mall.

[Brady]

No, you had the first one.

[Co-host]

Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter.

[Brady]

Sabrina Carpenter was the one.

[Co-host]

Elton John had his old kneecaps baked into jewelry. So he had double knee replacement last year and he asked if he could keep the kneecaps from the surgery.

[Brady]

They always say no.

[Co-host]

So the jewelry designer got a hold of him.

[Brady]

That's garbage.

[Co-host]

He baked them, then they had him dry them out. Then he says it's like a pumice stone when they're done. So then he painted them, put some acetate and just polished them up.

[Brady]

Huh.

[Co-host]

He turned one kneecap into a gold plated necklace. Looks like an old artifact from Egypt. And the other one's engraved. And it's a brooch.

[Brady]

I wasn't allowed to keep my shoulder caps and I wanted them like a brooch, a pterodactyl.

[Co-host]

I asked for the kidney.

[Brady]

Yeah. You can't keep that. Yeah. That would stink.

[Co-host]

Oh.

[Brady]

I don't think the bones jar it.

[Co-host]

Up, I suppose, because they got all sorts of.

[Brady]

How soon would you taste that?

[Co-host]

That kidney?

[Brady]

It would take me a week before I'd have to at least lick it. You wouldn't just feeling that in your hands, squeeze it. I would have to take at least a little. I would eat a little of me. You would have just left it in the jar.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Because it's a tainted kidney.

[Brady]

So I can do any damage to you eating it? I'd give it a taste. Let's fry it up real quick. Just cut up, cut a chunk out. Like those little. You know, they have the steak that you put on the hot rock.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Get yourself a square kidney.

[Co-host]

Like Korean barbecue.

[Brady]

Yeah. You've eaten worse. Trust me. I've seen you pile down Mongolian barbecue. You pick stuff off. Off the floor and Put it in the bowl, smash it down. I don't know if this is part of the food, but it was close to it. Put it in. You'd eat it. Maybe we'd take it. We'd cook that right up. What if it was good? Then it's worse.

[Co-host]

Getting more kidney.

[Brady]

That's the bigger fear. That's what. If you liked it, I'd do it.

[Co-host]

There'd be a lot more camping trips going, fighting. People go camping.

[Brady]

Think of how many. Oh, yeah, you'd be stealing kidneys. Think of how many times you've, like eaten a scab or sucked blood out of your body nose hairs. You're swallowing that stuff all the time.

[Co-host]

Well, then. And I know what it takes. Taste like.

[Brady]

You don't know what your kidneys taste like. You know, a general blood flavor.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Brady]

Because you wouldn't just go stab a cow.

[Co-host]

Tastes like chicken.

[Brady]

Tastes like painted kid.

[Co-host]

People say most of the time.

[Brady]

Phenomenal. That's a good Dexter episode. Discovers how much he likes the taste. And now he needs more. I hope Brady finds himself in that pickle someday. It's 1108. That's it for us. Larry's coming up next. You guys have yourselves a fantastic Tuesday and we'll see you tomorrow right here in the morning sickness. See you later.
