Larry McFeely
Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with my friend Wayne from Amco. And Wayne, if my car has an extended warranty, do I have to take it back to the dealer for service?
Wayne
No, Larry, if you have an extended service contract, you can use it at any amco.
Larry McFeely
It's nice to have other options.
Wayne
I'll say Amco has dealership quality rental cars, no hassles and faster service.
Larry McFeely
Amco does more than just transmissions, right?
Wayne
Right. If you need car repairs or hear, feel, see, smell or even think you have a car issue, call Amco first.

Just Google Amco for your near location. That's Amco double A MCO transmissions and.

Brady reported.
Brady
Good Wednesday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello, world. It's a big day talk like Shakespeare day.
Doug Hopkins
Okay.
Brady
National cherry cheesecake day. Oh, there you go.
Doug Hopkins
Okay.
Brady
You know, the romans were eating cheesecake back at 2000 BC.
John Holmberg
Well, now you do.
Doug Hopkins
Now I do. Now.
Brady
Now I know something about Rome and national vagina appreciation.
John Holmberg
There you go.
Doug Hopkins
That's the One, I don't like mixing Cher cheesecake with vagina sauce. That's the 28 day cheesecake.
Brady
Romans love vaginas.
Doug Hopkins
Back in the day, they liked them without cherries though.
Brady
A couple of basis fun facts. Aside from a brief bump in 2006, the teenage pregnancy rate in the US has been continuously declining since 1991. And it's the most recent data in 2023. Teen birth rates are now at their lowest levels ever.
Doug Hopkins
Nice job, kids. It's because they're not interested in sex anymore. We've dumbed them down to be numb to it or they're just being. I know they're not smart.
Brady
The soaking rates are through the roof.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah, I think they're just so on their tablets that they don't have any interest in love making.
Brady
A pop music engineer named Chris Gehringer has the most Grammy nominations without a win. 21. Post Malone is tied for second with an Indian classical music conductor named Zubin Meta.
Doug Hopkins
Post Malone has 20 nominations.
Brady
Post Malone has 18.
Doug Hopkins
Oh, man. Still.
Brady
And number three, Snoop Dogg. He's fourth.
Doug Hopkins
Never one.
Brady
Yeah, he's 17 nominations, no wins. There are at least twice as many kangaroos in Australia as people go there.
Doug Hopkins
They're everywhere.
Brady
50 million kangaroos, 25 million people.
Doug Hopkins
You forget, Australia has less people than Canada. It's roughly the same geographic like size as the United States. It's a strange kind of. Almost like you could put it on top of the US Pretty close. Then you realize it's. It's the size of LA. The whole thing is 25 million people. The Los Angeles area, it's like 20.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Hopkins
All of Australia in one spot.
John Holmberg
No kidding.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah. There's only like eight cities. They're all on the coast. And then there's Perth on the west side. And you're like, that's the only one over there. You go up north, there's one along the Gold coast, there's like five. None of them are big. Sydney, I think has four or five million. That's about it. But it feels huge.
Brady
There's literally a lot of 40 acre plots available. There's one of those, you know, if you have nothing. I asked a guy, crocodile landing.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah. You got those things as a driving along the interstate to go to Uluru. I remember asking a guy when I was in Australia, I'm like, is Uluru worth it? He goes, how many days you have, mate? Couple. He goes, yeah, it's worth it. If you like a rock, like, I think it's a neat rock, by the way. It's called Ayers Rock. Call it a luru all you want. Like, I don't know how to say it. I don't know who I'm offending. So I asked him because it would take about five days, four days to drive across it. What's it like from here to Perth? Worthless, mate. Never do that. We've got airplanes now. Don't do it. Nothing about the Outback is interesting at all.
Brady
Golfers who win the Masters get to keep their green jacket for a year. Then they have to return. It gets put in a closet. They can wear it whenever they return to Augusta.
John Holmberg
Now you got to give it back.
Doug Hopkins
It lives in a closet in their locker room. And then when you go back, you can wear it for their dinners and their Masters weeks.
John Holmberg
Can't wear it like your annual jacket.
Brady
And you're exempt. You can always play the Masters.
Doug Hopkins
What happened to the Century 21 jacket?
John Holmberg
Yeah, I don't know.
Doug Hopkins
They don't even do that.
John Holmberg
The gold polyester?
Doug Hopkins
Yeah. My mom was a Century 21 agent.
John Holmberg
Does she have the jacket?
Doug Hopkins
She had the jacket.
John Holmberg
Oh, man. She still got it.
Doug Hopkins
And the magnet on the side. No. I think you have to give it back, too.
Toledo
Really?
Doug Hopkins
Really. Yeah.
John Holmberg
Man, what a scam.
Doug Hopkins
Slap it on the side of her car. That Magnet said Century 21 Marcy Holmberg underneath.
Brady
And I think we still have one here in Arizona. I think the Fiesta bowl committee gets those.
Doug Hopkins
Oh, they have to wear those coats. And the Thunderbirds have a little outfit. That's not a coat.
Brady
Yeah, that's not coat. The only.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah. Yeah, I guess you're right. Fiesta bowl guys wear the pale yellow gold jackets.
John Holmberg
Yeah, we gotta bring that back.
Doug Hopkins
I could get Hopkins to do a Doug Hopkins coat. Like a little ugly gold.
John Holmberg
Yeah, that'd be awesome.
Brady
A website has put out another list of common skills that boomers are shocked that gen zers don't know how to read a map and figure out directions without gps.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah.
Brady
How to address a piece of mail.
Doug Hopkins
I'll put an address on it. Yeah, not address it. Like, face it.
John Holmberg
Put a burger98kupd.com. That's how you address mail now.
Doug Hopkins
Why are they shocked you don't know how to do it? It's stuff we don't need to do anymore. It's like saying, I can't believe Brady can't work a phonograph. Yeah, we don't need it. We got better stuff.
John Holmberg
It's check writing on there.
Doug Hopkins
Probably.
Brady
It is. How to unclog a toilet using a plunger.
Doug Hopkins
Well, that's Stupid. You're gonna need that. That's still a thing.
Brady
How to tell time on a clock with hands.
Doug Hopkins
You got a dumb kid. That's an easy fix.
John Holmberg
Let's just kill him.
Doug Hopkins
Don't do that.
John Holmberg
Yeah, no, I mean if not a.
Doug Hopkins
Moron, if he's like 17 and still struggling with the hands. Yeah. Maybe put him down.
Brady
Here's an old school how to mend clothes or sew on buttons.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah, I don't know how to do that.
John Holmberg
I'll call to le kid for that.
Doug Hopkins
I mean, I know how to do it exactly.
Brady
I could wing it.
John Holmberg
Alex will handle it for us.
Doug Hopkins
I would just take it to a woman. I mean that's. I didn't say that. I think that's how you do it.
Brady
How to cook.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah, again.
Brady
But see, basic handyman skills like replacing, you know, your light fixture.
Doug Hopkins
You're out too.
Brady
Putting on a shelf, on a wall.
Doug Hopkins
Not happening. Oh, I can do it.
John Holmberg
Hanging bike racks.
Doug Hopkins
Hanging bike racks is just. I walk by that wall of holes.
John Holmberg
Did you ever get that done?
Doug Hopkins
No, I just have a bike stacked in a corner.
John Holmberg
I thought Josh said he'd come over and do it for you.
Doug Hopkins
Dude, I don't need a real man to come by and show me how to do stuff. Just leave it. In fact, I took the, the extra bike rack, wall rack mounts in their boxes and I'm putting other things on top of them to. I don't want to see it anymore.
John Holmberg
Just to hide it.
Doug Hopkins
Just to hide that it exists. That's so bad. And I see the one that I broke basically trying to drill. It's bad. Handyman skills are gone for most people. If you're not like you 65 year old guys end up are pretty handy for the most part. Anything under that, It's a. Probably 30% of the population is handy. And then you get below 40 and nobody is. You're not that handy. I'm definitely not handy. I don't think you're that handy. I've seen you do work, put up shelves.
Brady
I put up, you know, okay, you.
Doug Hopkins
Can put up shelves, you buy. But I'm not IKEA that have two little things.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Hopkins
I can drill holes in walls.
Brady
I'm not replacing my garage light.
Doug Hopkins
You're not, you know, you're not doing real handiwork. You buy a shelf.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Hopkins
You're not like making a shelf and then you stick it to the wall. And majority of the time you're probably double drilling. You're probably knocking out a second hole. Yeah. And you covered up with the shelf. Yeah.
Brady
Well, when he's talking about hanging a.
Doug Hopkins
Picture behind almost all my pictures is. It looks like bonus hole. It looks like St. Valentine's Day wall. There's bonus holes all over the place at my house. It's bad.
Brady
There's a couple of food news stories. I know it's going to surprise you.
Doug Hopkins
I can't believe it.
Brady
This is on social media. This fitness girl basically posted a new alternative to protein bars. She's like, I've given them up. She's snacking on wedges of Parmesan cheese. The Parmesan Raggiano or Reggiano cheese cheese. It's high protein, 10 grams of protein per ounce. But I can't see mine. I don't like straight up.
Doug Hopkins
This is a problem for you for taste.
Brady
Yeah. I can only have so much. I like it sprinkled on.
Doug Hopkins
Try melted cheddar over some bread and that'll be your protein hit. By the way, Kellen just emailed and said my wife and kids, neither of them can read a clock with Roman numerals. The numbers.
Brady
The other thing they said the numbers shouldn't have anything to do with Roman numerals.
Doug Hopkins
Well, that's. Yeah, I think I can do that. Thanks to the super bowl and tv. Because at the end of a TV show, they still do a Roman numeral thing. Kind of get familiar with it. But if you start asking people to write down 2,540 in Roman numerals, not many of us can. You give trouble to the. Look, call them out for what they are, which is a bunch of wasted space for the most part, as a generation that just doesn't want to do anything more. Their attitude. But let's not get on them about Roman numerals like we're running around throwing those bombs at it. We don't know how to do it either. That generation doesn't get it. Neither do we.
Brady
I forget at the end of the movie credits where it has the Roman numerals. I don't know if it's MGM or.
Doug Hopkins
All of them do. It's part. It's like part of the.
Brady
Is that what it is? Okay.
Doug Hopkins
Have it all TV shows, all productions have to have Roman numerals at the end saying what year it was filmed.
John Holmberg
Hey, Byron, I heard you have something new to announce from MMP Guns, Brett.
Byron

Time to talk about TV's Doug Hopkins of My Home Group and Doug hopkins.com TV's Doug Hopkins. He has built and established his brand and company in a way that just has no competition. Doug's been here for a long time. He set the standard for over 25 years. Years. And he just keeps getting better. And that said, if you want to sell your house forecast to Doug as is, he'll make you that offer. Start the process online. Dough hopkins.com or listen to the Doug Hopkins singers. Holmberg's morning sickness. But it's like. It's like our joke. Can you believe these kids can't speak Latin? Like, neither can we. You can. You can attack them for a lot of things, but let's not jump them for Roman numerals.
John Holmberg
Yeah, but you should know on the clock where the numbers are. Come on.
Doug Hopkins
It could be pictures of bananas, right? The numbers don't matter on a clock. It's where the hands are. You should know. You should know the general idea of a clock.
Brady
Second stories. People are posting videos because Walmart is locking up groceries. And it's not eggs. They're actually locking up the meat. And it's not like in a cabinet. It's like chain mesh around the meat packages.
Doug Hopkins
Huh.
Brady
People must be going in there and lifting those packs.
Doug Hopkins
And that's right.
Brady
Doing the Winston Jameson.
Doug Hopkins
Putting it in Jameson sweatpants.
Brady
Jameson say we blame a Winston.
John Holmberg
What are you doing over there?
Doug Hopkins
I thought they all were named Winston.
Brady
Famous Jamis.
Doug Hopkins
He was stealing crab.
Brady
Yeah, he did crab legs.
Toledo
Yeah, just another Shady.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah, just another one Shady McCoy. He's not playing anymore. Yeah. Every team's got a couple. That's an actual conversation. We had that conversation.
Brady
We had the annual corgi race in England over the weekend. It's in honor of Queen Elizabeth, who's owned over 30 corgis throughout her life. The winning dog was Juno. Or in England, they say. You know.
Doug Hopkins
They do.
Brady
Yeah. You sure about that?
John Holmberg
Here we go.
Brady
There's a video of the race if you want to check it out.
Doug Hopkins
Is it just the dog called Juno, they call, you know. Or is it always soft jays in England?
Brady
I don't know, but listen to the commentator.
John Holmberg
Pull it up.
Doug Hopkins
Well, you can listen to him, but that just means the dog's name is, you know, it doesn't mean that all of England calls Juno. You know, if you write J U N O down, I think they say Juno.
Brady
Well, it's spelled J U N O.
Doug Hopkins
That's what I'm saying.
Brady
I don't think it's just the announcement.
Doug Hopkins
I don't think the Brits just hit that one word with a soft J. I think maybe if you went up to like Norway, they do a lot of soft jays, like yawn and yawn and all that stuff. They're chasers. But I don't know that England does it. The guy's probably just.
Brady
How do they do herbs then?
Doug Hopkins
Huh? Herbs. Because there's an S on it. It's the best argument in the world. Why don't we do herbs? There's an H and we go herbs. Yeah, there's an H on it and an S on it. Herb. What are you doing with herb? Put an H on it.
John Holmberg
Like Illinois.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah, people. Dumb people say Illinois. I think the dogs just called when.
Brady
He'S looking for that video. There was a miniature donkey named Murdy that went missing in Massachusetts the other day after a bear got into its enclosure. But it looks like he managed to outrun it. But the lady was missing the donkey. She thought. Thought for sure the bear got the donkey. But this drone spotted in the woods not far from the home and the donkey. Yep. Murray came back.
Doug Hopkins
They drone hunted for the donkey.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Hopkins
That'S a good. That's pretty cool.
Brady
And the good news, they didn't hunt down the bear and you know, euthanize the bear for.
Doug Hopkins
Didn't get a taste of donkey meat.
Brady
That's why there's a picture of Murty Murty back home.
Doug Hopkins
Donkeys are tough. Don't do they find a dead bear. That would be even cooler if Murdy won the battle. There's a dead bear laying next to a donkey that's unscathed.
Brady
He definitely would have been kicking a couple.
Doug Hopkins
Oh, sure. Bear probably didn't want any of that. Once. Once the donkey got one good kick on him.
Brady
There's just a 37 year old dude, Christopher Banks. He recently got arrested in New York State for child pornography. Lives with his older brother in a small town of Nineveh. Cops raided their home and seized their electronics. The brother, Mark Banks, is now in trouble Too. He's older, but because cops were searching for their gadgets and they came across an old video of Mark getting it on with a cow. He admitted in a written statement to the police. He said he worked on a farm for 22 years. When I was younger, I had sex with a cowboy.
Doug Hopkins
What?
Brady
He blamed it on urges and claimed it was a one time thing.
Doug Hopkins
And she was. And I also did that. And I have text saying the cow wanted it. Skip, Skip. You have to understand how sexy that cow was.
Brady
He's facing up to a year in jail and his brother is facing up to four years. They will both be registered as sex offenders.
Doug Hopkins
Is convicted? No, not if convicted.
John Holmberg
Yes.
Doug Hopkins
For just saying I had sex with a cow. The minute you say that, I don't need a courtroom anymore. I know we're all about duplicates process this week with all that in the news and stuff, but if somebody just says, oh yeah. No one. One time I had sex with a cow. Sex offender immediately. Well, I didn't get my due process. You don't get due process. You admitted it. You can't have sex with a cow and then come back to society and act like we have to give you a court hearing about that. It's a one time thing. That's all it takes. All sex offenders start with a one time thing. I could sexually assault Brett. It'll be the first time I've ever done it to anyone. And guess what? It's a one time thing. Sex offender. Whoa. How did this get so pricey? Right? I got the receipt for Doug Hopkins game coming up in just seconds.
Toledo
You got two minutes before we get to his videos.
Doug Hopkins
Okay, let's do it. Are we ready? Doug Hopkins has his game up. Ready. He's got his calculator. He's ready to go. Let's start. Here is the the price game. The receipt you have to do for this. My dasher's name was Mawa Mayori. Mawa. Moloch. What?
John Holmberg
Something Moloch.
Doug Hopkins
Oh, no. I just said Polok. No. Jesus.
John Holmberg
Expect that from me. But you.
Larry McFeely
Come on.
Doug Hopkins
I thought you go Polak. No, no. Mawa. What? It was Helen Keller's second word. Mawa. Anyway, thanks, Mawa. You did a great job. Hopefully I rated you properly. Culinary dropout is where I dashed this meal. There were no delivery fees. There was a Service fee of $8.32. One turkey pastrami sandwich with fries. One order of their hot wings. Another turkey pastrami sandwich. This time with a house salad and buttermilk ranch dressing. Same price as the first turkey sandwich, the side is either fries or salad. So two turkey pastrami sandwiches, which are great, by the way. Have you had those?
John Holmberg
No, I haven't, man.
Doug Hopkins
Culinary dropouts and then an order of their wing. I'm gonna tell you something about this. Culinary dropout's good. They're proud of their meals. Two sandwiches and some hot wings should not hit this number. Brady, do you have a guess for me? Oh, I'll tell you. Okay. I tipped eight bucks. It's a pretty good idea right there when you start seeing that. Because there was a service fee. When there's a service fee, I don't tip. The normal tip.
John Holmberg
Yeah. Do you tip on service fee or.
Doug Hopkins
When there's a service fee?
Toledo
Oh, you take that off the total.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah. And I drop a bomb on that. All right. Yeah. And, you know, a little different. I've had Dashers try to explain that to me. It's like, no, the service, we get paid this, that, and the other.
Brady
They say, well, 8,000, 457.
Doug Hopkins
Brady says, 8,000, 457. Coming a little hot. Brady's coming in a little hot there. 8,000, 457. See, you're within. I don't want to give it away. All right, a little hot. Not. Not terribly hot, but a little hot. You're hot. You're close, but you're not that close. 2. Two turkey pastrami sandwiches, one order of hot wings. Culinary dropout. 8.3. Two on the service fee. Eight dollar tip. Because I just count the service fee as a tip. So I just. I go, okay, this is what I normally would have tipped. And then that's it. I take that off of my tip, and then I throw that on. That's a proper way to do it. Plus, they're just delivering it. You don't tip. Do you have a guest? Brett, you're looking at the ceiling tiles now too. What's going on up there that I don't know about?
John Holmberg
69,75.
Doug Hopkins
All right, I'll tell you this. It's somewhere between Brett and Brady's. Guess you didn't go. You're. You're a little cool. He's a little hot. Now all you got to do is text. Nine seven, nine locks. Yeah, exactly. You need to just. Right Toledo. Look at the sky and see if you can pull enough. He's looked at it. He can't get 97936 is the text line. That's what you text. And you put your guess on there. Four numbers, no decimal. Points. Our company can't afford them. We've got a new service with no decimal points.
Toledo
People are asking, how many wings?
Doug Hopkins
You know what? I don't know. They. It's their. Their order of wings is like. I think you get like nine. They're big. It's almost like a thing of chicken. It's almost like a colonel's bucket, only a little shrunk. So, yeah, you got that somewhere between Brett's 69 and Brady's 80. 84. Somewhere in between there and I'm saying in between there. It could be 70, it could be 83. I'm not saying dead center in between. I'm saying that the one of them's a little hot, one's a little cold. Good guesses, though. Text away. 97936. Doug Hopkins. Price is Right game could get you $5,000 at U Fest. There's only gonna be a few qualifiers. Anybody get it yet? Nope. Noble, keep throwing it out there. Throw the bombs and good luck to all of you. All right, get to those videos.
Brady
We got the Corgi race or the.
Doug Hopkins
That's not a big.
Brady
Okay, you're.
Toledo
He just the dog's name.
Doug Hopkins
Brian Weber. You are definitely going to be my co executive producer of Spectrum Justice. Spectrum, our show. Because he was. He and I have talked about it. He just text me. This is proof he may be brilliant. John, I heard that dog won that race. What is the plural? Tell me what the plural is of Juno. Brett, do you want to cover that?
John Holmberg
Nope.
Doug Hopkins
Nope.
Toledo
Really?
Doug Hopkins
The plural of Juno is Juno's. This belongs to. This is Juno's. Yeah.
John Holmberg
I let the listeners do that.
Doug Hopkins
Become my nickname for the last year, and now you guys can't stop thinking about it. Got a whole little group of Kanye's out there.
John Holmberg
Well, yeah, Johnny Sinus, too.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah, Johnny Sinus is pretty solid. Somebody emailed me and said, Johnny Sins email or his website or whatever is called the most talented bald man in the world. I'm like, well, I'm not going to get into a talent off with him because there's a certain area I'm going to lose and lose badly. And maybe he does some impressions. And the next thing you know, I'm behind the eight ball in a big way.
Toledo
If it's like a decathlon, I mean, what do you got to do? How many wins do you need?
Doug Hopkins
Look, I know he's in better shape than I am. I lose that, I know he's got a much more proficient hog. I'm not going after. If the guy's funny at all. I'm doomed. So I'll let him have it. I'm somewhere in between Johnny Sins. I'm behind Johnny Sins and ahead of Mr. Clean. And I'm not sure if Jason Statham's in there. I think I'd go after.
Toledo
I haven't seen him in a while. Does he have the goatee?
Doug Hopkins
Who?
Toledo
Johnny Sins.
Doug Hopkins
Uh huh.
Toledo
He does.
Doug Hopkins
Well, sometimes. Not all the time. No. Most of them he's pretty clean.
John Holmberg

Brady
I've got two quick radio videos and this is now the Ice Bucket Challenge is back. Skip Even for what Yep, it's a different there is actually a mental health charity but majority of people are Doing it right just for the challenge.
Doug Hopkins
Well, it's to be on a video and try to be creative with how you get ice dumped on you and then you don't pay the charity. And I've never understood why skipping the actual monetary donation so you can have a viral moment is better for the charity.
Brady
So here are two I thought are worthwhile.
Doug Hopkins
Okay. To check out, there's a guy with a now nominate Johnny Iceman Steel Swaggy R. Little herb. He's got a John Dutch front loader.
John Holmberg
Little herb.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah. And it's about to dump a ton of ice. Oh, oh. And the whole thing broke.
John Holmberg
What a jerk.
Brady
And now he needs ice bucket.
Toledo
Challenge for something else.
Doug Hopkins
Well, he's gonna have some mental problems. Oh, yeah, the whole front. What is that thing? A front loader.
Brady
What do they call backhoe?
Doug Hopkins
Yeah, it breaks and hits him in the head. Oh, that's bad. Like Brett's, what a jerk. I've been saying that since he first did it for people who go through trauma. And Brett goes, what a jerk. Turns into Homer, and it makes me laugh so hard. What a jerk.
John Holmberg
It was Francis from Stripes, actually.
Doug Hopkins
What a jerk. When somebody else has a terrible thing happen to him, Brett calls them a jerk. He was a jerk.
Brady
One last one now.
Doug Hopkins
Oh, she's getting ice bucket challenge. Now she's sitting in a thing, and somebody's got an igloo cooler dumping it on her. And it's another girl. So her balance out, she just throws the cooler at her. She didn't even, just. She didn't even try to hold on to it. She misunderstood how it work. And by the way, I know what's going on for real here. She's the pretty blonde is sitting there getting the ice, and the lesser than brunette is dumping the ice on her and Brett. And she never took this. She never, never was going to have this chance again to chuck something at the head of the blonde girl. The brunette's jealous, and she knows that her video is going to be better. Even though the Brett brunette's not bad, she's still got to think, what a jerk. What a jerk.
Toledo
Apparently, both girls go to usc.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah, the Burnettes hot. But they all hate blonde. So any chance they get to chuck something at their heads, they'll do it. You throw it at me, Amanda. It'll be fun. You got it, blondie. I'll chuck anything I can at your head.
Brady
It's going through like crazy at Kirby's high school.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah, well, it's for high school kids to think they're actually, but they. They don't understand it's for charity. I'm like, how much did you raise? Well, I challenged people, and then they.
Brady
I don't think they know that. It's like, oh, it's the challenge.
Doug Hopkins
And they're all, bunch of sheep. Mono thought. Sheep that. Oh, the Internet told me to do this.
John Holmberg
Bunch of jerks. See?
Doug Hopkins
Bunch of jerks. I still don't get that. They kept saying that the ice bucket challenge 10 years ago raised, like, $12 billion for ALS how everybody skipped giving money. I'm the only one who gave money because I'm like, don't challenge me to this garbage. I'll just give him a check. And I did. And I remember because I think it.
Brady
Was like, in lieu of if you're not going to do the. You gave money if you did.
Doug Hopkins
Or you could skip out on helping people with Lou Gehrig's disease just by pouring ice over your head and laughing. It didn't make sense. I remember Mo down the hall, I challenged John Holmberg, and then she's like, you didn't do it. And I'm like, I gave money. Well, that's better. What I did was better than what you did. Well, you're supposed to do the challenge and challenge other people. I'm like, I gave them money. I actually donated.
John Holmberg
Stupid challenge.
Doug Hopkins
The challenge was dumb, but it somehow raised a bunch of money. So a bunch of people like me were like, I'm not doing this. I don't know, waste a day of cold ice in my head. But Kirby's doing it. She's done it.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Hopkins
Does she come up with a really creative way to do it?
Brady
No, she just, you know, they're all.
Doug Hopkins
No. There's nothing about. Was in black and white. It was. It was room Templar challenges to other people and gets, you know, gets nothing out of it.
Brady
Yeah.
Doug Hopkins
And then just watches herself over and over and laughs. It's a generation. No one likes. Go ahead, Brett. What do you got?
John Holmberg
All right, looks like we'll start off here with a little, you know, I don't know what this is. I don't know if this is a carjacking or a theft or what, but.
Doug Hopkins
There'S a car pulling into, like, a really cruddy carport. And then guys on motorcycles get out, start kicking the air. The guy, the driver of the car gets out and runs away. And then these other guys who are the hoodlums have come. Now here comes the driver. He's back with a. Oh, he's got a gun. And he's taking care of business. Wow.
Brady
Took the driver down.
Doug Hopkins
All right, so the driver gets out of the car, runs away into this weird shack. As the guys who were stealing the car try to get away, he comes out. Now here's the dumb thing. The thieves all parked behind the cars are trying to steal. So it took them too long to get out of the driveway. And this guy comes out and kills everyone. They have the worst. They need all pro shade more than anyone I've ever seen. This worst, like lean to roof, but the nicest.
Brady
Yeah, because he just has a banner as this as a shade.
Doug Hopkins
It's the nicest security camera I've ever seen. It's phenomenal.
Toledo
I'm gonna lie. I might have passed that shack.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah, you might have stayed in that while you were out there. Yeah, that's him.
John Holmberg
Just one shot, too.
Doug Hopkins
Oh, he one times the driver and the second guy. I don't know if the other two got away, but yeah, Circle K needs to call him and go, hey, what security cameras are you using? Because we have robberies all the time and everything's blurry.
John Holmberg
All right, how about. How about this one little motorcycle action.
Doug Hopkins
We're standing in the. Oh, there's a guy crossing the street and a car goes to dodge him, and he hits the motorcycle. Why are all these people standing on the road? Oh, Lord.
Brady
Thanks for that video, Pudgy Stacks.
Doug Hopkins
All right. Wow. Brady's mad at Pudgy Stacks because he wanted that name. Brady's Pudgy Stacks at Pudgy Stacks. Two Pudgy Stacks. That I'm Pudgy Stacks, too. It sucks.
John Holmberg
All right. You got to read the subtitles, though.
Doug Hopkins
This is the doctor let me keep my penis after the surgery. Sure enough, there it is in his hand and it's all dried up, it says. So I turned it into a cute little pipe. Does he smoke out of that? Yep. So the surgery. So I'm looking at the. Where the penis was and there's a.
Brady
What the hell?
Doug Hopkins
Expect Stephen A. Smith to make an appearance. The doctor did not let you keep that. You stole that. No doctor let you keep your cut off wiener. You did it at home and you see the catheter sticking out of the guy. That was a fresh surgery. And what doctor is amputating your penis and balls and saying, hey, there you go, have at it. It's all for you. If your penis and balls need to be amputated because he didn't turn into a woman.
Brady
Yeah, that was an at home procedure.
Doug Hopkins
Yeah. Then they're gonna Study that. They're gonna put that under a microscope and see what's going on in there.
John Holmberg
Here's some cucking for you.
Doug Hopkins
Okay. Oh, my God. That is a fat woman. Very fat woman. A very fat man.
Toledo
That's an elephant.
Brady
Is living with your ex husband.
Doug Hopkins
There's another guy coming in there, most likely, and I don't know what they're talking about. And then there's sort of Freddie Roach, I guess, in the background. Well, the white. Oh, he's in a wheelchair. He's handicapped in this big, fat wife of his. Okay. This big fat wife is getting hammered by two black guys with masks on because it must have been Covid. Oh, he reached over and he's sucking on her toes from the wheelchair. I think that is Freddie Roach. I just want. I watch a fight. I got Floyd Mayweather and another friend to come over and bang my fat wife. Oh, my goodness. She is huge. That is a mound of humanity. Yeah, that's Freddie Roach. I'm convinced. That's Freddie Roach. And he's wheeling around with a heart on his middle. Still works. Oh, she is so fast. She's getting tortured. Shannon Sharp. Get off that woman. Oh, now she's on top of him, and he's gone. That's 10 million dol. Touch that.
Toledo
All right, I'll be in the other room.
Doug Hopkins
I got a couple of boxers who aren't gonna make it in the sport. He can't get. He can't get her off. They're not gonna make it in the ring. So I pay him to bang my fat wife. Boxing super trainer Freddie Roach, now in a wheelchair, jerking off to that mountain of a human being getting pounded by Shannon Briggs.
John Holmberg
We'll just end with this. I'm not gonna. Really?
Doug Hopkins
All right. This video says it's the worst of pornhub. Yay. Okay, here's a lady, and a guy's opening her bottom with his hands, and she's bent over a couch. Yeah. Is it. I didn't see that. She's going back down for a little more. Somebody's farting and awful.
John Holmberg
No, that's her.
Doug Hopkins
Oh. Oh, that's her making front farts. Okay. All right. What's going on? What? Okay, that's not.
Brady

Doug Hopkins

Brady

Doug Hopkins
Make a goddamn edit. Come on. I'm not sure.
John Holmberg

Doug Hopkins
Oh, I see. Okay. I didn't see the glazing. I thought he was just taking a Look at it for. You know, he's going to do an add on or. All right, edit that out. Come on, man. Stop laughing. Replay. Stop it.
Brady
When did you turn into gravy?
Doug Hopkins
Yeah. Spade bounty. That's me. Play her with speed bug. I like that. That's enough. She went full speed buggy in the video. All right, all right, all right. Edit that.
John Holmberg
No, I know I said the worst of pornhub.
Doug Hopkins
So I'd still be laughing hysterically if I was on that video. Oh, yeah. And trying to please myself. And that happened. I would.
Brady
I don't know how that guy kept in character laughing.
John Holmberg
Yeah, he's a professional.
Doug Hopkins
He did. He kept it together. He's the Ray finds of pornhub. Method actor. So Daniel Day Lewis of. Of his generation stays in character. Two turkey pastrami sandwiches, one order of hot wings from Culinary Dropout. $8 tip, $8.32 service fee, man. Brady said 84. Brett said 69. Somewhere in between, there lies the truth. And if you would like to guess, you can text 97936. If you get it right, you'll get a little prompt that says, congratulations, you got it right. And then Toledo will call the person from the pile of correct answers today and qualify them for $5,000 from our friend Doug Hopkins.
Toledo
Just because you get a text back, that only means you got the price right. That doesn't mean you win the overall.
Doug Hopkins
All right, calm down. We'll figure that out. I'm not saying just them. Yeah, you don't win because you got the price right.
John Holmberg
Text number is because people are asking.
Doug Hopkins
97936. Your guess has no decimal points, no money signs, just four numbers. Again, that's not your fault. That's because we are running the cheapest mercantile Internet thing you can ever imagine. It is the bargain basement dollar store of whatever it is we're doing. And our bosses seem to think it's a better system. No punctuation allowed. It shuts the whole thing down. We lose lights in the building. If you use a decimal point, our lights go out. It's one or the other. We either have electricity or decimal points, and we chose electricity. Good luck to all of you. We'll keep it alive for a little about an hour, and then you can keep guessing, and we'll. We'll see if we can get you in there. You can. Multiple guesses, as many as you want, but get it right, and maybe you win five grand. There goes your Brady report. It's 98.
Brady
Hey, it's not weird. It's pretty cool actually. No membership fees.
Doug Hopkins
I have heard enough of this.
