Behind the Paywall: Hyenas Roar at Queens Absence

As Mersh steps away to deal with the exterminator, a palpable tension lingers in the air. Rico, with his 16 years of radio experience, skillfully navigates the situation, concealing his frustration with a well-honed on-air demeanor. Little does Mersh know, the co-hosts seize the opportunity to take playful jabs at him while he's absent. With a sly grin and mischievous camaraderie, the crew of cackling hyenas relentlessly crack jokes at Mersh's expense, fully aware that he won't catch wind of their banter unless he rewatches the episode – something they know he's not particularly keen on.

Upon Mersh's return, he shares the ingenious story of how he convinced the exterminator, a rumble fan, to subscribe to the show. This revelation transforms Mersh's brief hiatus into a clever and amusing narrative, excusing his seemingly mundane absence as a masterful play to expand the show's paying audience.
