Overview

In this episode, the HMS crew brings their trademark irreverence to a rapid-fire mix of regional studies, oddball science news, and classic Arizona banter. From debates over cheap friends and who should pay for game tickets, to a breakdown of “nicest” and “rudest” regions in America, and finally a humorous dive into science headlines (with ample Uranus jokes), the conversation is lively, sarcastic, and at times, surprisingly insightful. The show closes with lighthearted discussions on quirky household storage habits and collectible beer cans.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. New Year's Resolutions and Pet Peeves

[02:06 – 03:58]

• The episode kicks off with a survey: 33% of Americans have made a New Year's resolution, and 16% plan to.
• John Holmberg expresses disdain for “cheap people,” sharing a personal anecdote about a friend inviting him to a Suns game and then asking for ticket payment afterward:

  “No more dealing with cheap people... Inviters are the payers, unless previously discussed.” (John Holmberg, 03:12)

• The group riff on midwestern niceness versus big city rudeness, with the consensus that being cheap is the ultimate social faux pas.

2. Study of U.S. Regions: Friendliest, Rudest, Best Weather

[03:58 – 05:23]

• Brady Bogen introduces a survey on American regional stereotypes:
  • Rudest: The Northeast—especially Boston.
  • Friendliest: The South, followed by the Midwest, West, and Northeast.
  • Worst Weather: Midwest tops the list.
  • Best Weather & Cost of Living: West has the best weather and highest cost of living.
• Comedic takes on these rankings stress how little these perceptions have changed since the ‘80s.

3. The World’s Fattest and Thinnest Countries

[05:41 – 08:18]

• Brady presents global obesity rankings:
  • Pacific island nations like Samoa and Tonga top the list with staggering rates above 75%.
  • The U.S. ranks 15th.
• Holmberg notes the physical size and strength of Samoans, jesting, “Still wouldn’t want to push them around because they’re also strong. They’re fat and strong.” (John Holmberg, 06:38)
• Discussion turns to world’s thinnest countries: Vietnam, India, African nations, with jokes about how cuisine and poverty factor in.

4. Bigfoot Sighting Hoax

[08:20 – 09:54]

• Wintergreen, VA: Recent “Bigfoot” sightings caught on Ring cameras revealed to be a hoax—just a guy in costume.
• The public still takes it seriously, prompting police announcements.
• Holmberg delivers the exasperated viewpoint:

  “If you see a Bigfoot in the woods, somebody’s pulling your chain, or it’s a bear.” (John Holmberg, 09:13)

• The crew is baffled by people’s willingness to believe in Bigfoot over common sense.

5. Science News with Professor Brady

[10:20 – 23:25]

The Infinite Monkey Theorem

[10:22 – 12:21]

• Brady explains the theory: Monkeys typing randomly for infinite time could write Shakespeare.
• Recent study: It’s practically impossible; even typing "bananas" in one chimp’s lifetime is just a 5% chance.
• Holmberg points out the futility: “There is no link. Any baby could do it too. Just hammer out a typewriter…” (John Holmberg, 11:27)

Mars Eclipses & Uranus Headlines

[12:36 – 13:59]

• Perseverance rover captured a tiny Martian moon partially eclipsing the sun.
• Gizmodo headline: “Astronomers found something cold and wet near Uranus.” The crew can’t resist juvenile jokes.
• Speculation that Uranus’s moons could have deep, possibly life-hosting oceans:

  “If it is, there could also be life orbiting Uranus.” (Brady Bogen, 13:32)

• Holmberg mocks the obligatory Uranus news, “I’ll make it through my life for another one of those.” (John Holmberg, 13:52)

Cancer, Fruit Aromas, and Dairy Tangent

[16:05 – 18:24]

• Claim: Smelling fruit may help prevent cancer.
• Hosts are skeptical—Holmberg quips, “If he’s right, they’re out of ideas for fixing cancer. Just go smell the fruit.” (John Holmberg, 16:35)
• Brady’s explanation derails into yogurt and diacetyl, prompting confusion and mockery.

Food Sensors, Pork Consumption, World Demand

[18:29 – 19:46]

• New sensor tech can determine freshness of meat.
• Holmberg notes pork’s massive global demand, especially in Asia, riffing on cultural differences.

Moon Lander “Odysseus” and Robot Advances

[19:54 – 22:46]

• Despite a rough lunar landing, the Odysseus lander is sending back data, “It just tipped over…like a fat person and a rascal…” (John Holmberg, 20:18)
• Boston Dynamics new robot: The hosts react to its creepy, humanlike movements, predicting a robot future:

  “I, for one, bow down to our new overlords.” (John Holmberg, 22:46)

6. Christmas Tree Buyers — The Six Types

[22:54 – 23:58]

• Brady recounts statistics on when people buy real Christmas trees.
• Best time: Early December. Early buyers struggle with dried-out trees.
• The hosts joke about their own laziness with artificial trees—Holmberg admits he now moves his pre-lit tree into storage fully assembled.

7. Garage & Storage Hoarding Debate

[23:58 – 28:38]

• Roundtable ribbing about Brady’s crowded garage and off-site storage, crammed with holiday decor and beer cans.
• Holmberg mock-intervention, “You have an issue.” (John Holmberg, 24:19)
• The group trades remarks about the value (or lack thereof) of Brady’s 700+ beer can collection, organizational skills, and the logic of paying rent for extra space.
• Standout moment: Holmberg compares Brady’s garage to a “miracle of ingenuity and construction…there should be a prize in the middle if you find it through the maze…” (John Holmberg, 26:26)

  “He’s not gonna waste the millennia he’s been hiding on a Ring doorbell.” (John Holmberg, 09:36)

• On the infinite monkey theorem:

  “A baby could do it too…just hammer out a typewriter for a while…” (John Holmberg, 11:27)

• On science tangent confusion:

  “Science News should shut your pants. Skipped this one. There’s too many big words in it for you.” (John Holmberg, 17:25)

• On the Boston Dynamics robot:

  “That’s awful…its hips are 360, its arms are 360. I, for one, bow down to our new overlords.” (John Holmberg, 22:46)

• On storage hoarding:

  “You officially have a problem. You have an issue.” (John Holmberg, 24:19)

Tone & Style

The hosts maintain a tongue-in-cheek, buddy-comedy style, ribbing one another while poking fun at news stories and pop science. Banter is fast-paced, with frequent derails and quick transitions from genuine wonder to utter sarcasm. The show’s hallmark is irreverence—sometimes descending into juvenile humor (especially Uranus jokes)—but balanced by relatable crankiness and clever insights on American culture.

[E]

Good Friday morning to you, Phoenix. Hello, world. We've made it. So far, 33% people in this survey said they've made a New year's resolution. About 16% say they plan to, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

[D]

How many have broken it already? Yeah, no kidding. Day three. I don't make resolutions. I make proclamations.

[E]

I think they say it's like 70%. 20, 20 days into it, have already dropped.

[D]

What's your proclamation? No more dealing with cheap people. That made that before. No, that's this year's proclamation. If you prove yourself to be cheap, I'm calling you out on it. And that's enough already. Like the thing yesterday with that guy. And what would Brady do? Do invite you to a son's game and then asks you to pay for the ticket afterward?

[E]

No, I added another $5 for him for gas money.

[D]

I'm not paying it. I'm just saying. No, no. That's not how the world works. Dude, I gave you a ticket. Exactly. You asked me to go. We were. We never once discussed this. This was an invitation. I think you said it yesterday.

[A]

It's a bargain.

[D]

$245 to never hang out with that guy again.

[B]

And you got a free Sons game.

[D]

And I'm not paying you. Now, again, if we had an agreement early. Hey, buy my ticket. I'll take it. Oh, yeah, that's great. But if you say, come with me to dinner and then ask me to pay for dinner, it's not happening. Inviters are the payers, unless previously discussed. That's how the world works.

[E]

Yeah, that should be your first subject.

[D]

As the invitee, you offer to pay. If they say, sure, yeah, then you've made the offer. You pay. But if they expect it, no.

[A]

And you're buying drinks, too.

[D]

And you buy drinks as the invitee. You pick up the food and drinks for the fact that you got a free ticket. It's a simple process. I'm done with cheap people.

[E]

This study asked a thousand Americans a question about different parts of the country. And which part of the country is the friendliest and which is the rudest.

[D]

Boston.

[E]

The Northeast was the rudest, and it's been that way for a while.

[D]

Oh, yeah, Boston's in it.

[E]

The friendliest. Our answer hasn't changed much since 1983. The south ranks first. Then The Midwest and then the west and then Northeast.

[D]

That's about all you got. You pretty much nailed all of the regions.

[E]

Who has the worst weather? The Midwest. Well, yeah, 32% and then 28% said the South.

[D]

They're right.

[E]

The west was voted as having the best weather. That's right. Correct. Please.

[D]

If you say right, it is the most mundane story I've ever heard in my life. Less nessmen. Yeah, exactly. With more news, less mess.

[E]

Where's the best place to for a vacation?

[D]

The West. Correct.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Because the weather's good and they're friendly. You've cleared that all.

[E]

Who has the highest cost of living?

[D]

The West.

[E]

Correct.

[D]

Because it's in demand. See, these are easy questions.

[A]

We need a story about Chai Chai.

[E]

Where do most of the people who run things come from?

[D]

The Kenya.

[E]

I don't know. The Northeast.

[D]

Oh, okay. Are you trying to hypnotize us? What are you doing?

[E]

The world's fattest country. I ranked 195.

[D]

Getting close.

[E]

Countries. USA ranked 15th. Yeah.

[A]

We've still got all our golden corrals.

[D]

We're working on it.

[E]

The percentage of people basically have to be greater than 25% BMI.

[D]

Yeah. Well, like kind of nations that you have to be fat to be warm, you know, which is always surprising, how good looking Norwegians are. You'd think they'd be fat as hell.

[E]

It's mostly in the Pacific.

[D]

Is it really? So Samoa, Nauru, I don't know what that is. Does that even count?

[E]

88.5% of the population.

[D]

Those Samoans are pretty fat.

[E]

Yeah. Palau, Cook Islands, Marshall Islands, those are the top four.

[D]

So South Pacific, they're generally just Samoa, Tonga, Micronesia. Still wouldn't want to push them around because they're also strong. They're fat and strong.

[A]

They didn't pull Texas Grill, though.

[D]

No, that would have been.

[A]

It's just been up in the rankings.

[D]

I don't know why that's good fat down there. It seems to be a healthy fat. Because there's a. What is that story about America's at.

[E]

68% of the population? 25.

[D]

Yeah. Tonga has like a thing where 9% of its population has played Division 1 college football or in the NFL. And there's like Samoa has a massive number for its population.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

It would be like if all of Arizona played professional football. The average of crazy number of how many people can come out of that. So they're strong and big.

[E]

25% or more. In BMI, Tonga was 78 and a half percent that's Samoa. 77.6%. The least overweight countries in the world.

[D]

Africa got like nine of them.

[E]

Number five, Nepal. Number four, Ethiopia. Three, Bangladesh. Two India. Number one, Vietnam.

[D]

Vietnam. They're skinnier than all the other African nations.

[E]

Never seen a big Vietnamese.

[D]

I bet you go to that Sudan. They didn't even test that.

[E]

What?

[D]

The Sudan. What do you think? There's Guinea. Oh, yeah, yeah. There isn't a big BMI now.

[E]

Cambodia.

[A]

Look at their food, though. I mean, how are they gonna get.

[D]

Sad on that food? Look at their food when. Yeah, right, exactly. So I don't even think they bothered with Africa.

[E]

Niger was number nine. Burundi was number 10, but Cambodia was number seven, so.

[D]

So they're getting better.

[E]

Yeah, they're putting on some weight.

[D]

It's Sally Strothers left. Left him just enough ham.

[E]

In Wintergreen, Virginia, there were some sightings of Bigfoot in the mountain wooded areas around that area. People were picking it up on the ring cameras. Bigfoot sightings were staged, According to the Wintergreen Place Police Department Chief Dennis Russell said they got a small handful of calls. Some guy was doing it to get people in the holiday spirit because he.

[D]

Was blatantly posing as Bigfoot.

[E]

Yeah. And. But evidently too many people were taking it serious.

[D]

A lot of dumb people out there. You don't want to run around in a Bigfoot outfit in the woods.

[E]

They had to stop and make an announcement. Then, even though they said it wasn't real, people didn't believe.

[D]

I just can't stand almost all of you. Like, you have to be reminded that Bigfoot's not real. I saw it. No, you didn't. And then you fight back. Just stop it. You don't. If you see a Bigfoot in the woods, somebody's pulling your chain, or it's a bear. Either way, Bigfoot makes your ring.

[E]

Door, camera.

[D]

It's not real. He's not gonna. He's not gonna waste the. The. The millennia he's been hiding on a ring doorbell. He's. It's just not gonna happen. If we haven't spotted him by now, with all the cameras and technology we've got, it's time we all put that down. He's not a thing.

[A]

I don't believe in that. But that Loch Ness monster, that's the other 100%.

[D]

The other one. Have you seen what? So, like, we would have found it.

[A]

We found the Titanic, for Christ's sake.

[D]

In the Atlantic Ocean. It took us a week to find the blown up submersible stuff. And we knew it was bad. We're pulling up chunks. If we can find that in the bottom of the Atlantic, Loch Ness is. Come on.

[E]

And now it's time for some science news.

[D]

All right.

[E]

Hello, my friends. Professor Brady Bogan here with your science news chop, boys. D Tal.

[A]

Brady.

[D]

All right, you pre warned me. All right.

[E]

The infinite infinite monkey theorem.

[A]

Wait, what?

[D]

What?

[E]

The infinite monkey theorem.

[D]

Theorem.

[E]

Theorem.

[A]

I got you.

[D]

I know. I'm with you.

[E]

Is the idea that on a long enough time scale, even a monkey hitting random keys.

[D]

Oh yeah.

[E]

Could type the complete works of Shakespeare.

[D]

Well, they say that hundreds of monkeys in a room will eventually do it.

[E]

But a study found the monkey wouldn't have time. Every star in the universe would burn out long enough before that could happen. They found that they made a chimp type non stop. There's a 5% chance it would type the word bananas within its own lifetime.

[D]

Oh, wow.

[E]

The full 5%, which could be anywhere between 40 to 70 years.

[D]

Hammer out bananas. And we want to do this to make them secretaries. I don't understand. Why do we always find out how.

[E]

Close of a link or if they're.

[D]

There is no link. If you just any. A baby can do it too. Just a hammer out. If it's anything that you just make. Smash. A typewriter for a while is going to eventually, through code, type out a book. But you got to decipher out all the letters. He's not going to do it. You know, it's never going to say Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou? There's going to be letters in between each. You have to build the words.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

And I don't know why we've always done so as a little kid. 100 monkeys in a room typing would eventually type out all of Shakespeare. Why do we care about that? Why are. Why in the world anything. Randomly hammering typewriters en masse. I mean, that's the thing too. If you've got a bunch of Chinese kids, like a thousand of them, and you put them in a room of American typewriters and said all right, just start smashing away. And then you took all the papers. Eventually you would have. They would just mash it out. They don't know the language. It's the same thing.

[E]

Some great crossword puzzles, though. If they had a whole line of letters, then you could.

[D]

The Chinese words. Oh, no, those aren't crosswords. Those are the. The circle match things. Yeah, yeah. Where you circle.

[E]

The Perseverance rover. Got a shot of one of the moon. One of Mars moons passing in front of the sun. It's much smaller in the sky, so it just blocked part of the sun. But they put it up there. You can check out the video of a Martian eclipse of a tiny Mars moon eclipsing on the from the surface of Mars, basically, you're seeing the moon pass over the sun. It looks like a googly eye, kind of the iris, more or less. Astronomers found something cold and wet near Uranus. That was the headline from Gizmodo magazine article. There's. That's exactly the found. They think they use an ocean that was on this object that passed by Uranus.

[D]

Once he got past the headline, he didn't really think we were going to make him read the story. He thought we'd fall into hysterics.

[E]

One of Uranus's moons might have liquid. They think it has an ocean that was one time 60 miles deep. And some of the water could still be there. And if it is, there could also be life orbiting Uranus.

[D]

Are you done?

[A]

I know I would have made it through my day without hearing the Uranus news.

[D]

I'll make it through my life for another one of those. I'll read this headline, the boys will hit the ground laughing, and we'll move on.

[E]

What?

[D]

No giant laugh? What happened? Kirby died when I tested it on her. Then you're retarded. You had a big wet spot by your anus. It's getting awkward to say those things to me, Daddy. Merry effing holidays from the big red radio. It's John Holmer here from the morning sickness. And it's time to talk about TVs Doug Hopkins of My Home Group. And doughhopkins.com. have you ever thought to yourself, I'm gonna sell my house? Of course you have. And one reason or another, you just didn't do it. Probably because it's a hassle when you try to make a real estate deal. What if I could say you can sell that house the day after you say the words I want to sell my house. Doug's been at this for over 20 years. Five years. And that's why he's still on top of the Hill. TVs Doug Hopkins can handle everything. Won't move the price or you get $5,000. What do you do? Start the process right now@doug hopkins.com or grab the phone and sing Hopkins 1-800-sale now.

A study found that even just smelling fruit might help prevent cancer and other diseases.

[D]

Smelling fruit?

[E]

Yeah. They said the aroma coming from sniffing certain scents like fruit creates a reaction, a molecular reaction to your genes that can help treat the cells react to it and it helps prevent cancer.

[D]

I don't like that you're not reading this. I don't. I don't like that you're just telling me this. I don't buy it. You're missing something.

[A]

Professor Brady.

[E]

I gave you the Reader's digest version.

[D]

If he's right, they're out of ideas for fixing cancer. Just go smell the fruit.

[E]

John.

[B]

How are you questioning a man with a sauce moto?

[D]

Oh, I'm not questioning him. I just didn't know that. Like he got definitively angry. Of course.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

You saved the Polynesian sauce for what?

[E]

You want a little. Little more science on it?

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

The molecules are able to get the cell nucleus through the cell membrane, they're saying naturally in a variety of dairy products, including stuff like Greek yogurt, ripening fruits.

[D]

The hell are you talking about?

[E]

Inhale the concentrations can help the molecules.

[D]

How did dairy come into it?

[E]

Because it produces. I can't. Diacetyl.

[D]

Why are you telling this story? Science News should shut your pants. Skipped this one. There's too many big words in it for you.

[E]

No way.

[D]

And you know I'm a.

[E]

Nothing's too big.

[D]

Well, in our lives. That's true, Brad. You said smelling fruit cures cancer. And then you brought milk and yogurt into the equation without any explanation. Just shot out of the bushes and became part of the story.

[C]

Moving on.

[E]

No, with the all time qualifier. They say. They said that Them scientists.

[D]

Wouldn't it be the worst if after all the treatments and stuff people have been through for Cancer. We find out that just sniffing a grapefruit gets rid of it. Who knew? Like the most basic simple thing, you just crack open a grapefruit and smell it for an hour and you got no more. And the tumor just disappears. All these people who have been through chemo and treatments and getting body parts lopped off and all that, just smell the fruit or dairy. I don't know where yogurt and milk came from and neither do you, so.

[E]

Well, you crack a dragon fruit, it could be totally brolic in like a week.

[D]

Those things are good for you.

[E]

Another study found eating too much junk food increases your risk for 32 different diseases. Researchers are working on another thing in the food world. They're working on a new sensor that can tell how fresh meat is. All right, you put it up there, it's big. It's worldwide because pork is huge. The demand for it is the biggest.

[D]

Yeah. What is happening?

[E]

Pork is probably the most consumed meat worldwide.

[D]

Muslims don't eat it, so.

[E]

But the Asians make up for that. Okay. For all of the Muslims.

[D]

Yeah. They bounce it back to the Muslims.

[E]

Yeah, they do, yeah.

[D]

For every non pork eating Muslim, you've got a double down in China. No, no, he's probably got this one.

[E]

All right.

[D]

You're talking about food. But he got so excited.

[E]

Amazing invention. But I never really run into. Wondered if the pork that I bought is still good.

[D]

Oh, it doesn't have time to go away if it's in your hands. It's fresh and gone in like hours.

[E]

But evidently they have it, you know, in those markets and they keep it around for a while.

[D]

I'm guessing your fridge doesn't have a whole lot of. Is this still good going on?

[E]

Can it survive?

[D]

After six days of storage, it's going fast.

[E]

The private moon lander, you know that wrecked kind of landing.

[D]

Odysseus.

[E]

Yeah, Odysseus. They say it's a success.

[D]

Sure. They got to them.

[E]

They got some more images. They got the. One of the base of the moon lander. You can see the broken leg.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

On the moon surface. But this stuff that NASA loaded up with to make experiments, it's still able to do some of that stuff. And it sent back some of the results.

[D]

Yeah, it just tipped over. They didn't even. They don't even have like a thing that can roll it. It's just going to stay on its side. Like a fat person and a rascal that just. They tip over and they stay there.

[E]

There's more going on around your anus too. Astronomers found another moon plus two more moons orbiting Neptune. Neptune now has 16 that we know of. And Uranus has 29.

[D]

He got so excited about that.

[E]

Got any questions? Look it up.

[D]

His sentence has started to go three words again. Brooke is huge. Why do you do it in demand? Okay, these are just non sequitur. These are little phrases. Put them together and make sense of it. Big plug.

[E]

Boston Dynamics just unveiled a new humanoid robot. It's pretty creepy. The video. Is this the one that gets up off the ground? Yeah.

[D]

Does it do the dog bounce, that leap off the ground thing? No, no. Show me.

[E]

You gotta see it. Oh, yeah.

[D]

But does it look like a person or is it still like a structure?

[E]

It looks like a person, but it's.

[D]

Got skin and stuff.

[E]

No, it's just you put skin on it.

[D]

Okay, so it's a robot structure, silver and robotic looking. But it moves like a person.

[E]

Yeah, but. And it does these rotations. Like the head can go all around 60 degrees body.

[D]

It has no limits.

[E]

Toledo pulls that up. Canned wine sometimes smells like farts. They figured out why. Researchers at Cornell say what happens that the antioxidant in the wine is getting through the plastic liners and the cans. Oh, it interacts with the aluminum grades. Hydrogen sulfide. Morning breeze smells like rotten eggs.

[D]

All right, here's the robot and it is very rosy. The riveter kind of robot. Silver. It's got 001. It's C3PO. It's got a only silver. And he's laying on the ground.

[E]

Watch how it gets up.

[D]

Oh, this is gonna creep me out. The future is right in front of me, isn't it? Is he. Oh, he's not on his stomach. He was doing a full on. He just flipped his. Oh, that's awful. He just legs over its back. And then. Yeah, we're done. Oh, and then it's hips. Its hips are 360. Its arms are 360.

[A]

I think that's better than I do in the morning.

[D]

Well, I have more metal parts. Yeah. And it's gonna start running 80 miles an hour. I, for one, bow down to our new overlords.

[E]

According to a new survey, real Christmas tree shoppers fall into six categories based on when they buy their tree. But the early birds who put it up before Thanksgiving, which is 14%, this group really has to work to keep their tree from drying out. The people who buy their tree over Black Friday weekend, which is about 33%, are okay. But they're saying the time to buy your real Christmas tree is now.

[D]

Right. It's Christmas time.

[E]

Well, this part. This time in December. If you do it beforehand, might get a dry one. Dries out long.

[D]

Let you put seven up in it. It just lasts forever, right? Works great. The other ones, it's pre lit. Love it.

[B]

So easy.

[D]

So easy. I even. I've discovered this year I'm doing what my grandma used to do. I don't even take it apart. The ornaments come off. I just move it into the storage thing as is. Tilt it. This year carried it right. And it was done.

[E]

That's our family tradition.

[D]

To pick up the tree, pick it all up together.

[E]

We go to the storage facility.

[D]

Oh, it's downtown or something. No, it's not at the house.

[E]

Not at the house.

[D]

What do you. Your garage is so full of stuff. And none of it's Christmas.

[E]

Beer cans.

[A]

No room for Christmas.

[E]

Move some stuff out.

[D]

No, no stuff in though.

[E]

You.

[D]

I've seen your garage. You also have a storage facility.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

You officially have a problem. You have an issue.

[A]

Is that a 3 car? I can't remember.

[D]

No, it's. Well, it is, but most of it's not for cars anymore. Oh, it's amazing.

[E]

Two cars are in there. It is you. If I move one rack, I could get all three cars.

[D]

But you.

[E]

But then I. And there's room in the storage field. That'll happen. What's that'll happen? What's on the rack?

[D]

You lost your generator. You still have the rat maze?

[E]

No, no.

[D]

Do you have walls? Pretty. Do you have walls? You have walls in between the cars? Are there walls of things?

[E]

A rack.

[D]

Okay. And in between each car?

[E]

No, not in between each.

[D]

And then the third stall is all stuff.

[E]

The two cars are. There's no wall in between them.

[D]

There used to be. So Kirby gets aced out with the Mustang. You used to have a.

[E]

No, she's in. What? Yeah.

[B]

Who's out?

[D]

Yeah. He doesn't live there. He got home. He's renting.

[A]

Jesus.

[D]

He's not a resident of his own home. Haven't you been listening?

[E]

And I pay for that parking.

[D]

They've been trying to drive him out for years.

[E]

Of my windshield.

[D]

Yeah, you have too Far over you. I remember being in the garage with you going, you got to do something about this. This was years ago. I didn't know he had a storage facility too. I might have to do an intervention as a friend. That's too much. What's in the storage facility? Is it full?

[E]

It's not full.

[D]

I know it's not.

[E]

Yeah, go back.

[D]

Generator. That's what I'm saying.

[E]

Christmas stuff is in a Halloween. I've put that in the.

[D]

That's all at the storage.

[E]

How much Halloween do you have now? It accumulates every year.

[D]

And not enough room in the third stall for a third car. Too much.

[E]

It's close, but we still have, you know, with three bikes.

[D]

Got a lot of boxes. What's in those boxes? Yes. Brady, stop it.

[E]

You can check it out. You're more than welcome.

[D]

Ronnie sent me a picture. She's asked me. Gotta get rid of this stuff in the garage. Because he's cleaning it, but he doesn't clean it. He just moves it into stacks.

[E]

She's responsible for some of the boxes.

[D]

Oh, I'm sure she is. Yeah, but you can still.

[E]

It's not like I'm not the only collector. She doesn't collect beer, kids.

[D]

But since I've known you, your garage has been, I will say this, a miracle of ingenuity and construction. What he's Jengaed it together. He has made to make Dan Holmberg proud. There should be a prize in the middle if you find it through the maze of, like, walls and turns. And it was unreal. The old house was incredible, I think. Had a lot of, like, awesome moves. Like you could hide in there for days.

[A]

Are the beer cans out there or are they on display?

[E]

Most of them are in the man cave.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Most.

[E]

Yeah. I still have a lot of garage in the storage facility. Two big cases. Cases? Yeah.

[D]

And then probably about. And a wall in the main house garage.

[E]

300 cans in the storage area and.

[D]

Still some in the garage.

[E]

No. You took them all out of the garage? Yeah. That's good.

[D]

That's a start.

[A]

How many cans do you have? If 300 are in storage, there's probably.

[E]

There's probably 700 plus.

[D]

Jesus.

[E]

Too much.

[D]

Can we get it?

[E]

Have you ever tried to do a.

[D]

One fell swoop, winner take all price on the somebody? I think we said $2,500 to take them all, but evidently you'd waste money on gas driving from storage facility to storage facility to get them. I don't even know where. You do have a problem.

[E]

Where would you sell a can?

[D]

Ronnie sent me pictures.

[E]

It's ruana. That's what it is.

[D]

Like the Becket of beer cans.

[E]

That's one of the sites it's called.

[A]

They'll see if ebay's got beer cans.

[D]

Ronnie, she's out there right now, I guarantee you, taking photos of that garage.

[E]

Kicking around in the maze.

[D]

It's amazing. It's impressive. I'm not going to say it's dirty because it's not super organized, but there's a lot of stuff that 75 bucks for a can. Yeah. Oh, there's a few of them Brady's got that are expensive. Don't get them started. Brett, turn that screen off.

[E]

Got it.

[C]

Got it.

[D]

Turn that screen off. Brett. We've gone over this before. It's like baseball cards, right?

[E]

You're not getting the value.

[D]

No, you have to.

[E]

That's it. Crime heritage is only 33 cents.

[D]
