The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed.
Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it.
Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there
will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby?
Hello everybody and welcome to my brother, my brother, I made a device show for the
Modular Abbey, the oldest brother, Justin McElroy. I'm your middle-is-brother, Travis McElroy.
I'm your sweet baby brother and 30 under 30 media luminary Griffin McElroy.
Thank you. It's Father's Day and I know we really shouldn't start out with this kind of energy,
but dad's saying, we love it here, it's very great. It's the most disingenuous thing I've ever heard
anybody say on a stage. It feels like something that was written in a different language and
translated to English. It's true, but yeah, so he didn't sell it. I love him, he's my dad,
he didn't sell it. He didn't sell it. He didn't sell it. Though to be fair, that might be because
we've only been in Indianapolis for 20 minutes. Your whole state, Indiana flooded. Yes, made
it tricky to get here. It was rough. It was hard. It's probably harder on other people. Yes.
Now that I'm saying it, yeah. This is a very special tour for us. Both of you become the
monster tour, but also this leg of it because I was very close to at least two out of the three of
our like home cities. We took a bus for the first time. Like big-time tour boys? Yeah, because it was
cheaper. It was cheaper. That was the main reason. It was cheaper and there's like 15 of us, not an
exaggeration. Yeah. And our kids could nap on the bus. Party. If you're thinking they didn't,
but in theory they could have. If you're thinking, wow, how bougie the macros have sold out. I want
you to imagine like the blood mobile, but instead of blood or the bookmobile instead of books,
it's adult farts and it's the worst. Because here's, okay, so here's what happened. We had to take
Nashville farts across state lines. I want to know if everybody who has toured like in Fleetwood
Mac gets the same treatment, but we got on the bus and the first thing we were told is first thing.
Not only are we not allowed to, but we physically cannot poop on the bus. And before you ask,
there is a bathroom, but it doesn't go anywhere. It says, there's a sign. It says, if you sprinkle
any tinkle, be a sweetie, wipe the seedy. No number two. And the first, the first part of that is so
adorable. It's like, Hey, clean up after yourself really, but in a cute, charming way and no shitting.
What's that? Why is that? Well, some buses have, we have been informed a special,
it doesn't, I don't want to get it. It's called a macerator. It's a macerator. And it chops the poop
up into nothing. Now it makes me mad because it seems like it should be possible to just open a
hole, just open the bottom of it. This is my thing. You should be able to open the bottom of the bus
with a switch and you just do it on the road. And that's also good because then racer X will skid
out. Speed pushes the H button and I take a hot ship right on the road. I'm pretty sure
after the Dave Matthews band incident, they don't put those on buses anymore.
Then it got into this. Okay. Then Travis and I had this, this debate. You could,
Travis was making the case that you could shit in the toilet. And I said, yes, I could shit out
here. I can shit lots of places. And I stand by that shitting in a toilet versus shitting on a
couch, even if the toilet doesn't go anywhere, it's more socially acceptable than just shitting
on a couch. Anyway, that's why this three and a half hour drive from Nashville to Indianapolis
took us about six and a half hours. A lot of it was mostly just existential dread. Yeah. Even
if you don't have to number two. The moment someone says you can. Yeah, here's a fun, here,
this will be a fun exercise. Nobody here is allowed to get up and use the bathroom during this show.
Oh, I bet you wanna though, don't you? Griffin said he always goes at nine o'clock,
which was a half hour after we got on the bus. Two and a half hours later, we stopped at,
you'll know on the border of Indiana, the RBS, that's also a love get truck stop
with the, with the most racist t-shirts I've ever seen in my life. You know the one. We stopped
there and I and Griffin went into the bathroom and came out and I was like, I gave him a thumbs up
like mission accomplished. He said, no, I couldn't because my body is apparently a grandfather
clock where if I missed my opening, I have to wait till tomorrow. Apparently. All right,
we've talked about this for way too long. Way too long. This is an advice show.
Our advice to begin with is go before you get on the bus. Correct.
Uh, but I, we do have questions. Riddle me,
peace boys. He really. Riddle me, peace. This is not. You can still riddle me, peace on the bus.
Yeah. Boys. He really doesn't tell us these are coming. Riddle me, peace. Yeah, we know the
name of the segment. Do you want to deliver the payload? Please Travis. Okay. I will say the rest
of my regular voice because it's so important that you don't miss a second. It sucks that you
can't shit on the bus, but you can't shit here on the stage. This is, uh, this was an email submission
and they gave us a fun username, which you don't usually get, but it's from riddle,
wrapped in Regina. Okay. Um, it's the name of a town. Sure.
Okay. Uh, and this comes from a book called the little giant book of brain twisters.
Wait, this isn't from riddles. It comes from the little giant book of brain twisters.
Griffin, every syllable you say pro longs riddle mean piss. You're right. I'm sorry.
A man sat perfectly still for 88 hours. Why?
I've given you all the clues.
You don't already have it? I mean, all right.
What's the is the man is that perfectly still for 88 hours. Why?
He was trying to break the record for a longest continuous radio broadcast.
No, I knew a guy in college that tried to do that for 88 hours, which didn't work.
I thought this was my slumdog millionaire moment where that obscure knowledge would pay off in a
huge, huge way. Is the man a piano? Is piano has 88? There's 88 keys on a p I'm trying to think
of what the significance of how have you guys not? I gave you all the inverse.
Should I just tell you the answer? I wish you would. The answer is so obvious.
The man had a nasty toothache and he went to the dentist at 5 p.m. on a Friday evening.
The dentist assistant, including the anesthesiast, had all gone and the dentist could not
administer any anesthetic. The man insisted that the dentist should operate even without anesthetic.
So the dentist said that he would have to strap the man into the chair. This was done.
The dentist then suffered a fatal heart attack and died.
The poor man was left strapped in the chair and unable to move. It was a holiday.
And no staff reported for work until 9 a.m. on the following Tuesday morning,
88 hours later. But why? Obviously. Is this a true story? Like, did this happen and they're
relating this tale? No, it's just that it's, why else would it be 88 hours? Okay, if this would,
just I need you to think about, if this was a true story and then you are going in for a routine
dental procedure and the dentist says, just gonna have to strap you on into the chair, bud. Anyway, I
uh, luckily we have actual advice questions to ask. I don't know. I thought that was pretty
actionable. Don't do that. Yeah, I'm an art education major at Indiana State University.
I had to take a drawing class, mainly one that focuses on the human form. Our class could only
grow up. Our class could only get one model. And so we had to draw the same guy twice a week
for the entire semester. I have drawn this guy 86 times and have them just lying around my room.
They're all huge pieces. Nice. Like four feet tall as a lesbian with no interest in men.
What should I do with them? I don't want to throw them out. There goes my, obviously,
that's from Abby. Abby, are you here? Hi. Hi. Okay, so
my thing, Abby, the one thing I do have to say first off is let's invert this scenario.
I, let's say I took a life drawing class where I drew the same woman 48 times,
and then when people, or 86 times, excuse me, and then people came over, I would be like,
now listen, I love babes. And these pics get me red on. That's not actually how art orders.
We don't actually, you don't really keep pictures just because they're redder. And wait,
these 86 pictures that I did get me real, real hot. I kept them all. That's why, that's why I
go to the Louvre and I kick holes in all the paintings that don't make me real horny.
Think about it. Hold on. Maybe this is how that worked because they didn't have the internet back
then. So maybe people like went to like DaVinci and said, Hey, can you pay me some boobs?
I'm dying over here. Yeah. But if Abby was straight and she told people that came over,
I can't throw them away. They made me extremely horny. That would be the wildest shit ever.
It would be baffling. How well do you know this person? You probably know this model better
than most of your own family. Every inch. Could you give the model all this great art that
you've done? And then it's their problem because I'll tell you what's, this is a great question
and even better question is I have just received 86 new drawings of myself. And I've run out of
wall space. 86 new drawings in increasing levels of quality. It's a flip book and it just becomes me
at the end. You had them a few times where you're like, fuck this today, caricature. Now he's
serving. Now he's serving. I'm doing a fun one. He's a cowboy. He's a naked cowboy.
How about a yahoo from the yahoo answers service? That didn't. Yeah, we didn't. That didn't
help at all. That's the least we've helped. We in fact just spend the whole time discussing
the premise. Sure. I guess you could like sell them at a park or something. That's something
people do with art. That's wild. That would be wild. I have 86 pre-made new drawings of the same
man. They're four dollars. They get increasingly more expensive. Because they get much better
except for the caricatures. They cost less. I phoned it in. Yeah, go ahead. No, no, no, please.
Let's keep helping. It seems like we're really well equipped for this one. This yahoo was sent in
by Jim. Thanks, Jim. It's yahoo answers user Aaron, who asks, my mom grounded me for eating
my pudding before my sandwich. What can I do to get out of this mess? Also, side note, I'm 48.
I'm 48. Ah, shoot. I ate on my dang pudding. Well, I didn't even know the sandwich was there.
Yeah. I just had the pudding blinders, you know what I mean? I thought it was dinner pudding,
a savory dinner pudding. Just a big cup of gravy. Yeah, shoot. I had to, it was in the
way of the sandwich. I had to eat my way through to get there. Tell your mom you use it as a
delicious condiment for her tasty turkey sandwich with just a thin container-sized layer of chocolate
pudding. That actually might be good. That might be good. Next question. What have you told your mom
that you thought that her sandwiches are so delicious? They're like the dessert.
I had maybe gave her a homemade card that said, I love you. I had to eat my way through the dumb
pudding so I could treat myself to Rhonda's famous turkey sandwich. Trademark, my mom.
Pudding isn't very good. And so I don't know why you would put yourself through this.
Uh-oh. Huh. Griffin seems you've touched a nerve.
Apparently, you didn't know Indianapolis is the pudding capital of the world.
Wait, is it?
It's probably just an average level of pudding enjoyment here, I would guess.
It could be a fancy British pudding in which you could put, yes. And then that is a special
thing because I was thinking you could just replace the pudding and be like, you're out of your
mind. I didn't eat the pudding. It's the same pudding. But if it's a British food, then you're
going to have a harder time doing that because those things take like a week, right?
It's just any dessert, Griffin. Any dessert is pudding in England.
What? We are parents of 20 months old twins.
Wait, wait, wait. Is this a dry-fed-a-chini situation or do they just call all desserts pudding?
To be fair, they only have pudding. They don't know any different.
They don't have pie.
Not yet.
Shoot.
Pudding.
We are parents.
Pudding and famies.
That's another one of my favorite bit when Griffin didn't know what a fan was.
Yeah, this podcast is just a fucking carousel of me not knowing things.
Take your pick.
We are parents of 20-month-old twins, a boy and a girl. I'm so sorry.
That's a lot of children.
It's a lot of kid.
And for the most part, we haven't done a completely terrible job of raising them.
You would have no way of knowing that.
Sorry. They only steal from each other in polite ways.
And when they yell in public, it mostly seems cute.
So far.
So far.
To you.
But they're getting old enough that soon they will understand the concept of age.
So, do we ever tell them who was born first?
Or do we leave it a mystery?
That's from Jay and E. Are you both here?
Hi.
Oh, hey.
Parents of the Year over here didn't bring the kids.
Guys, come on.
We would love to have your children.
We've got eight or nine backstage already.
Just bring them on.
Add them to the lot.
Here's what I would do.
I would withhold this information as long as humanly possible.
I would, if they ask you, when they do ask you and they will,
which one's born first, look them down in the eye and say,
I would have no way of knowing that.
I was whacked out of my mind.
You all look wicked the same.
It was a pretty wild time.
I had plans for later in the afternoon that I had to get to.
Real busy.
There's one option.
You could do that one.
You could also tell them they came out at the same time.
Now that's fun.
That's fun.
Hugging each other.
No, I'm thinking like shoulder to shoulder.
Just like...
Just sister and sisters.
Never wear this one.
Top hat.
You could also use it as like a reward system.
Of like whoever does the most chores this week was born first.
Nice.
Whoever claims the rim the best next week was born first.
And just have it trade back and forth.
And have it be maybe like a mantle that you hand back and forth.
And never tell them.
You can't tell them it's a problem.
It'll ruin the whole thing, I feel like.
Ever since Justin found out he was born first,
there's been no living with him.
I remember that day last week.
Heartbreak.
You see he has a beard so you can understand my confusion.
Shame on me, I guess.
I don't know.
How about a Yahoo answer?
I'd love that, Griffin.
Okay, this one was sent in by Colin.
Thanks Colin.
It's Yahoo Answers user Zora in.
Who asks, what are other uses for pepperoni?
I don't have any pizza ingredients.
You do have the one.
I don't have any pizza ingredients,
but I do have a lot of pepperoni.
Eyepatch.
Stinky eyepatch.
Thank you, Travis.
Eyepatch is one.
Stinky salty eyepatch, yes.
Ineffective bandaid.
Bad stinky bandaid, yeah.
Okay.
Bad frisbee.
Stinky small bad frisbee, yeah, for sure.
Let's just knock out all the circular shaped objects.
Stinky pasties.
Ineffective manhole cover.
You all saw that, right?
We're done.
Well, this show's done.
We don't need all of it.
This is too expensive.
We could travel around just two of us at this point.
Ineffective manhole cover.
You could maybe make like chain mail out of it.
Oh, cool.
Think so.
Technically it'd be scale mail, but I don't.
Ah, nerd.
Oh, you fucking nerd.
Go hang out with Frodo.
Oh, you could use it as a pizza top.
Ah, fuck.
Well, we don't know how big the pepperoni is,
so that it could be a good frisbee.
I don't know.
I was thinking about it.
They could make the big pepperoni.
If it's a big pepperoni.
Yeah.
And you could chuck it, and it might work fine.
It could be a pizza on its own at that point.
That's great.
You're halfway through.
I love that.
I'm about to call Domino's on my phone and be like,
let me get a pepperoni pizza.
And they're like, sure.
And I'm like, no, no, no, no.
Not a pepperonis pizza.
I want one big three inch tall pepperoni.
I want a Chicago style pepperoni.
Yeah.
And if you could put some bagel bites on top of it,
I want a deep dish pepperoni thin crust beats.
Stuff crust, please.
I want a pepperoni I could do some boogie bourdon on
down at the ocean.
Yamaka.
Yamaka, thank you, Justin.
Probably not a good Yamaka.
No, it's stinky.
Yamaka, it's going to stink no matter what it is.
Beats is the only place you see a pepperoni where you don't
think, what is that stinky meat?
Because you're about to eat it.
So how many times have you seen just pepperoni random
and thought, what is that stinky meat?
Yeah.
Freaking news.
I just received a text message from Paul, from Paul
and Storm, who says, emergency backup pogs.
Thank you, Paul.
The word emergency there is haunting.
Oh no, we have to drop out of the meat.
No, hold on.
Let me see what I can find.
Give me that pizza.
We're going to save the rec center.
I work at a theater during my breaks.
I get a chicken burger that the kitchen guy graciously puts two patties on,
though he's not supposed to.
If only there was a better word for kitchen guy.
Yeah, I should probably learn his name, huh?
If he's making these awesome chicken burgers.
However, three times in a row now, he has forgotten pickles.
I desperately need some of that vinegared veg in my sandwich,
or else it is too dry to bear.
Should I be grateful for the extra protein,
or do I tell him he forgot the pickles?
That's for a double and nothing.
Are you here?
Yeah, I don't blame you.
Here's the thing though.
Without the wet pickle on top of it,
adding another slice of dry chicken burger on top of it
actually makes the sandwich worse in a lot of ways.
It's punishing, yeah.
It's a punishment if you think about it.
Maybe they ran out of pickles for a while now,
and they gave you extra chicken in hopes that you wouldn't notice.
It's hot chicken.
Don't tell my boss I used up all the pickles.
That's tiny, stinky frisbees.
And ineffective manhole covers.
Yeah.
Ran out of pepperoni.
The kitchen guy has been siphoning off pickles off the top,
and so he's giving you double chicken to make things even out.
So nobody noted that the book's still balanced.
We're going to keep this pickle problem between you and me, huh?
All right.
You got your pickles, remember?
Wink, wink, chicken.
What's a chicken burger?
That's just a chicken sandwich, yes?
Or are they making burgers out of these things these days?
Who knows?
Millennials.
What?
In my day, the burger.
Let him finish?
No, go ahead.
Tell me about it, stud.
On the left.
Damn, y'all love putting ant chicken burgers here in Indianapolis.
We have gotten the coldest shoulder.
How do you feel about pickles?
Okay.
Pickle capital of Indiana.
Yep, that's what I always say.
When my friends debate me on what the pickle capital of Indiana is.
Why don't you?
I always say it's Boise, and then they say that's not in Indiana.
Yeah, you've been wrong.
You could always drop back in punt with some mayo, mayo, mayo.
The sand, the traditional sandwich moistener.
Maya, we were at the, have you all ever been to the Arby's
at the border of Indiana?
It's like Arby's loves.
It's the one with the very racist t-shirts.
You know.
It takes 45 minutes to make anything.
There's also a claw game there for some reason.
You know.
My, I went to the counter and I ordered my wife's sandwich,
and I said she doesn't want mayonnaise on it, but she would like mustard.
And the lady behind the counter said, we don't have mustard.
And then she stared blankly for three seconds and said, yes, we do.
I don't want the mustard.
I just decided then that I don't want the mustard.
Whatever it may be, I don't want it.
Well, maybe the Arby's like warlock had just finished conjuring it in the back room.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I feel the mustard's presence in this Arby's.
Now we do.
The, uh, we just saw the tanker roll in.
Now we have mustard.
The Truman, the Truman show style producers just whispered in my ear
that I am supposed to tell you we do have mustard.
Oh, yes, we do.
You've been lowercase P punked.
You, she said, she actually said, yes, we do.
But we only have spicy brown and honey.
So you had two kinds of mustard.
Why the subterfuge?
It seems unnecessary and cruel.
It was a great sandwich.
Sid was real happy about it.
They make a good sandwich there and a good t-shirt about how much you do love guns
and will never, ever, ever give them up for no reason whatsoever.
There was a shirt there that said, um, uh, Taylor told me about it.
She said, uh, it said, sure, you can date my daughter.
Just let me finish polishing my gun and digging this hole.
Huh.
I'm unrelated to you.
Yeah, I would love it.
I'm burying my gun because it sucks.
I just want to be...
My gun died.
Can we say a few words about my gun please?
I want to meet you and have a conversation with you
so I can get to know the person that my daughter is falling in love with.
Because she makes her own decisions and I respect that.
Yes.
I wish I...
But this gun...
This gun sucks shit.
So I'm burying it.
I wish I could have been the guy that saw that shirt.
I was like, oh, no problem, sir.
Just take your time.
I'll be back in what, 90 minutes?
Okay.
I don't know how long it takes to polish a gun and dig a hole.
You know what?
Let me dig the hole.
You polish the gun.
And then I'll circle back around and have a great date with your daughter.
Also, um, just so I know, I'm not a gun owner.
Just polishing it, make it shoot better.
Well, that's it.
When the, when the burglar breaks into your house and you've got to defend your family,
you want him to look at your gun and be like, damn, that's a clean gun.
Because here, here's the only thing I know about guns.
And I learned it from Antiques Roadshow.
You got to leave the patina on there.
You got to.
That's where the money comes from.
When you polish that shit, you lose like 90% of the value.
So maybe that's what he's saying.
I'm about to go on Antiques Roadshow and also dig a hole for no reason.
No reason.
I need a place to put this tiger.
Also separate.
Also unrelated.
Why are you putting a tiger in a hole?
For intruders, the gun is decorative.
The gun is decorative.
The tiger is practical.
I have to polish my Nerf blaster.
All right.
Here's a, here's a Yahoo that was sent in by Nick K.
Thanks Nick.
It's Yahoo Answers user.
They are anonymous.
So I'm going to call them.
Tabus asks.
Tabus.
Tabus asks.
Are clouds alive?
Read my opinion and comment on it.
I'm going to have to hear the opinion.
I can render judgment.
That's very mature of you.
I'm an old man.
Did you know why I believe clouds to be alive?
Clearly not.
I'm still reading.
They possess all the characteristics of organisms.
Clouds are organized in the sky.
They are white, round, flat, or another shape.
Not, probably not your strongest one to lead with.
You know, like dogs and cats and cows and stuff.
Like other organisms, they're round or flat.
Tabus is giving you the old rope and dope here
because you're like, what a clown.
Next point.
Metabolism, they absorb water vapor and grow.
And now you're like, oh shit, wait a minute.
Adaptation.
They adapt their shape to weather conditions.
Response to stimuli.
They have their water drops freezing at high altitudes.
Reproduction.
Okay, Tabus.
Clouds like to fuck.
They break into smaller clouds when the wind is too strong.
The wind likes to fuck clouds.
I would also like to point out,
Tabus might not have had the talk yet.
If Tabus is like, you know how humans
we produce by breaking into smaller humans?
When the wind blows strongly.
When the wind is way too strong.
Now I'm five small travesties.
Dang it.
Clouds eat water vapors from the atmosphere
and reproduce by division like bacteria.
Is this the first use of quotes
because they should have been applied liberally
before this point?
Although I do not see them as complex forms of life.
Okay.
I believe they are unicellular organisms
with water as the genetic material
and air as the cytoplasm.
I don't know what that means, Tabus.
So you've got me on that one.
I feel like this is both very dumb
and maybe this person is smarter than I am
about what constitutes an organism.
Like maybe I would be wrong
if I were to criticize them.
The only thing how the flat earthers get you is a good point.
The thing is, I'm no scientist.
Listen, I'm just a humble podcaster.
But I'm pretty sure you can't just say like the cytoplasm.
This is the cytoplasm.
Or else you'd be like, I'm eating a pizza
and I don't know the sauces.
Maybe pizza is an organism.
I think we've had this exact conversation before.
Well, I am having very weird...
Like the pepperoni of the Golgi bodies.
Yes, we said that.
Yes.
This is definitely a thing that's happened.
The thing we've said.
Hey, bad news.
We've been doing this show for too long.
I'm pretty sure.
This adds a whole...
I just had my own realization of if someone says like,
that looks like a dog, maybe it's a cloud dog.
Ah, damn it.
Read me wrong.
Maybe, and that's why every time that I'm flying
and I come in for a landing and we go through a cloud,
I hear constant screaming.
They're not complex organisms with emotions.
They're just simple organisms that eat water for fuel.
Now this...
This begs.
And shit lightening.
This begs the question.
Rain, piss or tears.
I'm trying to do a joke, but I'm worried Thomas is right.
We're just selling like assholes.
Are we the people who like look at like Play-Doh and shit
and we're like, there are no...
What? The sun goes around us talking.
Hey, exactly.
Why do the clouds have feelings?
This is actually too stressful to continue talking.
I live directly across the street,
like a 30-second walk on my front door.
We know how big streets are, thank you.
It's from a public park that has a splash pad,
which is a big area with things that spray and dump water.
I have a sizeable lawn that takes about two hours to mow and trim.
After a few hours laboring in my yard,
I really want to walk over and cool down.
Here's the problem.
I think I guessed the problem.
I think we've been doing this a while and you listen to this show
and I think I know what the problem is.
It's almost exclusively frequented by kids in and under you.
It's a splash pad.
It's a splash, not one of those adult splash pads
you've read about for business folk on the go.
Is there any way my big, sweaty, childless, 30-year-old ass
can enjoy a few minutes at this neighborhood oasis
without looking like a total creep?
No.
And it's from hotter as ha...
Hot as hell in Huntington, Indiana.
Are you here?
If you're... Hey.
The fact that you said ass in this one paragraph long question
shows me probably not.
Not with a potty mouth like that.
Can you go play in this splash pad?
Kids are monsters.
Yeah.
And it's really...
You will never feel like more of an alien outsider
than to look at a smaller version of human and say,
don't splash me.
Please stop.
And kids will just like, let's play.
And you're like, no, that's cold.
I'm doing this on my turn.
You got to understand it is not a whether or not you have
the correct sort of representative there for you,
vis-a-vis.
I don't have a child.
I do have a child because we go to...
Austin has a lot of like play places.
In Huntington, we had one called the gym factory,
which was just like a bunch of trampoline floors.
And like, imagine like a big, complex McDonald's play place.
They have a lot of these in Austin.
We'll take Henry to those sometimes.
And, you know, I'll go up with them into the play place.
And there's...
I'm supposed to be there technically,
but I still feel like the Minnetower
that is there to challenge the kids and give them riddles
or else I'll steal their bones.
There is a look that...
We just did that.
We went to the Adventure Science Center in Nashville.
And there's like a big, like almost like 10-story tower
that kids climb up in the center.
And I was following Vivi because she's two and a half
and can barely stand.
You know that idea of like the kid?
Anyways, I didn't want her to die because I'm a good dad.
Yeah.
And every little kid that would turn around and see me,
it's like they were seeing a literal monster.
Yeah.
And Travis turns to them and says,
I've been in here for 23 years.
My name is Ricky Scaramooch.
My parents left me in 1997.
I've been living off crumbs in the garbage.
Okay.
So let's give some practical...
Yes.
Here's my gut instinct.
Do dress up like a business person with a briefcase
and a blackberry and just walk absentmindedly
through the park into the splash pad
and be like, ah, damn it!
As you turn around comically for 20 minutes.
For 20 minutes, like, ah, wee!
I mean, shoot!
And then do this every two weeks.
You're going to go through a lot of blackberries.
Yeah.
I guess you could use the same one each time.
Yeah, they're not going to check that.
They're kids.
Something, something, something.
Jack disease, something, something.
Thank you, Justin.
Okay.
Here's what you do.
You have a sizeable yard.
You know the movie, Jack?
Yeah, sure.
That topical...
Topical grave film.
Okay.
You have a sizeable yard.
Benjamin Button, is that...
Anyway.
You're going to use a portion of your sizeable yard
and turn into an into a better splash pad
that then will attract the kids away from the splash pad
you want to go to.
No, fuck that!
They've got their own splash pad.
You have your own new cool splash pad for adults.
A gift to the Magi, though.
If you put a splash pad there, you don't have to mow anymore.
You're not getting hot.
Don't need a splash pad.
You're not getting hot.
Don't need a splash pad.
You'll have to turn their splash pad into a yard.
Yeah.
You have to bulldoze the kids' splash pad
to make way for your grown folks' splash pad with beer.
It shoots beer out of it.
Cool, man.
Hell yeah, dude.
Very cool.
Can you get five friends and all of you cosplay
as the cast of Friends?
And then you can play in that splash pad as much as you want.
Cause you're cosplaying.
This just came across.
I just got an alert for a haunted doll watch.
Hold on, wait.
Did y'all think he was about to do something else?
Did y'all think he was about to be like,
there was a tornado, y'all.
We got a dip.
We got to go.
It's a culturally tasteless haunted doll watch.
Oh, god.
Did you get it at the truck stop?
Y'all know that R.B.'s at the...
Wake up priestess, evil voodoo doll,
Elsenith Haunted Active.
Cool and bad so far.
They start out with the per eBay policy on my state.
This is a tangible item and for entertainment purposes only.
Listed as one tangible voodoo doll that is handmade.
It has been reviewed and approved for sale on eBay by eBay.
No, it has not.
As a tangible item for sale.
That's a very quick review process.
Let me just...
Yep, cool.
Next.
You must be over 18 to purchase.
You're purchasing one voodoo doll, one candle, not two.
Either a votive...
Either a votive or a taper candle, not both.
Five pins.
Props and matte not included candle and pin style may vary.
So that's the legalese out of the way.
This voodoo doll is an authentic individually handmade
by the witches of the Coven of Rosen,
who are witches by birthright.
They have not made up some Coven.
Or these liberals are joined one.
This is the real deal.
And each doll has a unique paranormal,
dark arts personality, no two are alike.
They're a real handmade and not mass produced
or made in Japan, China, or some foreign country.
What the fuck?
Huh.
Huh. American jobs.
American voodoo dolls.
Real witches.
Real witches.
Real witches.
Real America.
American voodoo dolls.
This is Satan's country.
The evidence would indicate yes.
The voodoo doll is a kit.
It comes with instructions on how to use
and how to close the paranormal door you will be opening.
Thank you for that.
Did not know I needed the second one.
I'm relieved to know you will be including it.
Thank you.
These Coven of Rosen voodoo dolls are dark arts magic.
Make sure you are aware of that.
Once you open a door, it's important to close that door.
Maybe you shouldn't be letting me have this doll.
These instructions are so specific.
They're individually made so that they're unique
and different from each other.
Individually made makes them more powerful.
Think about it.
Okay, no, hold on.
Over 182 have been sold.
Nice.
Seems like a good number of voodoo dolls.
You seem like an expert.
The Coven has held voodoo dolls like this back for several years.
Generations even.
However, times in the world have changed.
Reds are getting higher.
They feel that many need the help of these dolls.
Hey, can't get much worse out there.
Let's release our dolls.
You can only get so wet.
Have our poison dolls, everybody.
So they have been releasing them.
And their power is greater than most voodoo dolls.
These dolls do not like their picture taken.
And often I have to say, please, if the pictures are blank or blurry,
so I can get some fairly good ones to post.
That's much like when I try to take a picture of my kid.
Hey, baby.
That's wild to say, like, hey, voodoo dolls,
I know you don't like having your picture taken,
but can I so I can sell you on eBay?
Please?
Please?
This is an all-purpose voodoo doll.
Oh, thank God.
Used for love, wealth, good luck, revenge, and more.
Here's the instructions for using the doll.
Can you include these with the doll, please,
instead of leaving them at eBay listing where I might miss them?
Anyway, one, first, you can cut out a picture of a person
and place it on the face.
Second, if you do not have a picture.
Place that the part that assess you, audience.
Oh, well, now, no.
Second, if you do not have a picture,
write their name on a piece of paper, then pin it to the doll.
Hey, how bad do you want revenge
that you're not going to fucking get on Facebook?
Go get on Facebook, go buy a fucking printer,
go get some new toner or whatever the shit,
and print out a picture to put on your voodoo doll.
You already bought the goddamn thing from eBay.
You might as well print out a fucking picture.
Jesus, that's what's wrong with America.
We don't make our voodoo dolls anyway.
It also seems like you print out a picture
of Kiefer Sutherland's face because he knows what he did.
You put that on there.
He tackled that tree.
He tackled that tree that one time.
Holy shit.
Google Kiefer Sutherland tackles Christmas tree
because nobody seems to know what that means.
It's so best.
But if you just write Kiefer on a piece of paper,
every Kiefer on Earth is going to get burned or tickled
or whatever the fuck you're going to do with this doll.
Fall in love with you.
Fall in love with you maybe.
You can also attach an article of clothing,
hair, or personal item of someone that you wish to see changes in.
Love or wealth.
Or you can write what you wish or desire is on paper
and pin it to the doll.
Then place the doll on the altar that you make.
Okay.
See, that's the thing is when you start reading through the instructions
like not included, you got to go to Home Depot,
buy all the altar components, your raven bones.
It can be on a dresser, table, or somewhere where the doll is the focus.
Next, put a circle of salt around the doll and offerings before you begin
to keep the spirits from leaving the doll and entering your home or person.
Hey, as long as you're giving me motherfucking step-by-step instructions,
could you maybe hit me to what some offerings might be that I could give?
Instead of just saying the word offerings, talk to the doll.
Use its name as if you're addressing a person when requesting something.
State your request.
Be brief and to the point.
Do not linger on and on.
Is this how to get a job?
Yeah, I was about to say.
Make eye contact, write a thank you note.
When you are done, light a black candle, which is included to get rid of any residual negative energy,
stating one of the following choices.
One, that you rely on the candle to ward off evil spirits.
Two, ridding yourself of slander, reversing or removing hexes,
neutralizing others' magic or moving or reversing very powerful negative energy
for who the doll is being used for.
Three, thanking for your personal request.
Each doll is good to use on one person only.
And preferably only one time.
I think I figured out how you sold 182 of these.
How to dispose of the doll.
Fuck.
To get rid of the doll.
Do not burn it.
Bind it with red thread.
Bless the doll with holy water and bury it somewhere off of your property.
Hey, this is just a macro.
Is this the Arby's at the border of Indiana that has the love shot stop there?
I figured things can't get much worse there.
And I was wondering if I could bury a voodoo doll there on your property.
There is a poem.
Stop.
What?
Her name is Elsineth.
Give her offerings of ears of corn, boiled eggs and cheese.
Okay, there it is.
Thank you.
In a plate, give her some cake, give her some red grapes and oranges.
She likes gold objects.
It sounded like a lot of work at this.
She is fond red scarves, so give her one.
I'll just murder the person.
She likes money and don't be cheap.
But how much is that?
Light some tobacco for her.
Any kind.
Nice.
She likes rum, water and beer.
She kicks ass.
She likes the party.
Me and this doll like all the same shit.
She loves memes.
Her favorite color is pink and sky blue.
Her favorite number is nine.
She likes Saturday.
So she likes Saturday.
Is that the day I should ask her to kill keep herself or the day I should
wrap her in red twine and bury her at the Arby's?
What would she prefer?
There's another 5,000 orders about the stall.
I literally can't.
Okay, there's an FAQ.
Question 18.
Are they made by real generational witches?
Answer, yes.
So that's the, um, that's not.
That's fantastic.
Hey everybody.
This is a very smoky voiced Griffin McElroy.
Not smoky from smoke.
You know I keep it straight edge.
Just sort of smoky from yelling about nerd shit.
Because we just got back from our book tour.
Final stop at San Diego Comic Con.
We had a great old time.
Thanks to everybody who came out and supported the book.
I think maybe if you buy Rockport today,
it still counts towards first week sales,
which I have come to understand is kind of important.
But I'm not here to bullshit you about our garbage.
I'm here to talk about other companies.
I almost called it garbage.
It's not. It's good stuff.
Like Stitch Fix, for instance, is really good stuff.
They sell you clothes.
Well, at first they send you the clothes.
They send you the clothes in the box.
The selling comes after because you try on all this stuff.
A personal stylist is going to like pick out stuff
that's going to look really good on your fucking bod.
And you're going to slap it on there.
And if you agree with the stylist's, you know, fashion choices,
then you can keep it and you pay for it.
And then anything you don't want, you ship on back for free.
And there's, there is a $20 styling fee, but check this.
It goes right towards anything you keep from your box.
And if you keep everything from your box,
when you go to stitchfix.com slash my brother,
you'll get 25% off if you keep all the items in the box.
And I've, I am a Stitch Fix user myself.
And more often than not, I do exactly that
because they've really, they've really got me dialed in.
They really know the curvature of my bod and my shape and stuff.
So that's stitchfix.com slash my brother,
stitchfix.com slash my brother, get 25% off
when you keep everything in your box.
And much like these clothes are going to fit your bod,
Bowlin Branch has something that's going to fit your bed,
which almost rhymes.
No, it's not a rhyme.
It's a slant rhyme or something.
Okay, it's not any kind of rhyme.
Bowlin Branch is going to give you all kinds of great sheets
that you are going to use to, well, you're going to sleep on them.
Most of the time, do not cut holes in them to make a ghost.
These, I mean, you can do that if you want,
but these are really nice quality sheets.
You're not going to want to cut holes in them,
unless I guess it is Halloween and you are hard pressed for fabric.
Everything that they make is designed with your comfort and mind.
From their pure 100% organic cotton signature soft sheets,
their cozy throws to their plush towels.
Bowlin Branch products have thousands of five star reviews.
And people are at the heart of everything that they do
from the farmers who grow their organic cotton
to the people who sleep on their sheets at night.
They have a no risk 30 day trial and free shipping in the US.
You can return them if you don't love them.
So right now go ahead and get 50 bucks off your first set of sheets
at BowlinBranch.com and enter the promo code mybrother.
That's all one word.
BowlinBranch.com today for $50 off your first set of sheets.
That's B-O-L-L and branch.com promo code mybrother.
That's BowlinBranch.com promo code mybrother.
If Justin was here, he would make some gag
about how the company's name is confusing.
I think it's a good company name.
So BowlinBranch, just go ahead and write those checks directly to me.
But that's not really how any of this works.
I'm going to let you get back to the live show where we like,
Travis and Dad are still gone.
So we did not have time to record an episode.
So I hope you enjoy this one that we recorded
from our recent tour in Indianapolis.
Yeah. And again, one last time,
thanks to everybody who has supported the book.
The second graphic novel in our adaptation
of the Adventure Zone Balance.
You can find it wherever.
Go to theadventureszonecomic.com if you want.
It is...
I mean, anytime we get out and get to see folks and say hi,
it's always like a very humbling experience.
And this week was just chock full of those.
So thank you all so much.
And yeah, we'll be back with a regular episode
of Mabin Bam next week.
So see you then.
The Greatest Generation is a Star Trek podcast
that de-stigmatizes the very idea of having a Star Trek podcast.
We're Ben and Adam, the hosts of The Greatest Generation.
And the technology we've developed is that nobody knows
what you're playing in your earbuds.
You know, with legalization,
it's easier than ever to find out what's in your buds.
But we suggest that you legally find The Greatest Generation
wherever you download your podcasts.
We'll send it to you in a discreet, unmarked package.
And nobody has to know but us.
That's The Greatest Generation,
the Star Trek podcast that you didn't know you needed,
yet makes you feel like you belong.
Hello.
Hi.
I think everybody ended up over there.
That's fine.
What's your, what's your name?
This is Annalise.
Hi, Annalise.
Your question, uh, delighted us.
So my neighbor, I just moved to Indiana.
I'm not really familiar with the traditions here.
Welcome.
Hey, straight up.
They fucking love pudding.
So my neighbor, a delightful man,
he likes to throw old pieces of pizza into his backyard,
including also donuts, bread, and tortilla chips.
You know, those aren't pizza traditionally.
Those are different food.
Do they have pepperonis on them?
Okay.
Yeah, actually.
The issue is, is that my dogs run over and eat them.
And then a few weeks ago,
there was a possum eating all of the pizza.
And I had to fight it.
I had to pull my dogs away.
Stop the podcast.
One, possums are great.
They take care of a lot of pests.
No way.
Two, why on earth did you fight the possum, Annalise?
Well, it wasn't so much fighting it as like
drying my dogs back and screaming at the possum to get away.
Oh, okay.
You had to harass the possum.
Yeah.
Okay.
If not, okay.
If your neighbor is not throwing it there for possums, then why?
I don't know.
Is it for giant birds?
I don't.
It's attracting coyotes too,
because some coyotes killed my neighbor's ducks
and left the head on my lawn.
That's a huge fucking bummer.
So your neighbor hates pets.
But loves non-pet animals
and is trying to come to some sort of equilibrium in the neighborhood.
Is your neighbor trying to seduce your dogs to be his dogs?
Now, he's the one who throws them all pizza.
He's the one who really cares for us.
Yeah.
Is your neighbor a coyote?
Throwing the most radical house party ever.
Brothers, come suck from the bounty.
I shall continue to live as one of them so that you may feast.
I have made contact with the Papa John.
He sucks shit.
He sucks, but his pizza's pretty good.
Comparatively.
Have you addressed?
Papa John's pizza better than deadly.
Yeah.
Have you addressed that?
Have you met your neighbor?
Oh, yeah.
You're ahead of the curve.
What's his full name?
Sorry.
Have you said,
hey, why do you throw pizza out in the yard
because of you a dog dies?
That seems like a pretty good way to make most.
It was a duck.
It was a duck.
I thought you said doxen.
I'm sorry.
It was two ducks.
Oh, that's fine then.
Because the duck could have flown away.
As we all know, one dog equals 30 ducks.
I mean, you're just going to have to go over there
and grab the pizza out of the air as he throws.
Is it... He throws it into the yard?
Yeah, yeah.
Is he trying to grow a pizza tree?
Thank you, Travis.
Is he composting, perchance?
In the shittiest, worst way imaginable.
He's not the composting type.
No, he's more of the throw-peats-in-the-yard-in-a-coyote-kills-a-duck type.
Yeah.
You know.
I don't know what...
Every neighborhood has one.
I don't know what not the composting type means,
but I bet they frequent the Arby's racist t-shirt store.
All right, Annalise.
Here's what I would do.
Ignore it.
Here's what funny me would do.
Pick up the pizza and just chuck it back at him.
Nice.
It's back on my doorstep.
How is this possible?
It was meant to be...
I'm moving away in a month, so...
Oh, it's meant to be wasting our time!
Doesn't that help?
Yes, thank you.
Okay, good.
Thank you.
Excellent.
Hello.
Over here.
Hello.
What's your name?
Hi.
I'm Grayson.
Hi, Grayson.
I'm Grayson.
What's up?
Sorry.
Which question did you pick?
Oh, did you send in multiple?
Oh.
The one about your dad?
You had a question about your dad's...
My dad has a terrible vape rig.
How can I fix it?
Sure.
Happy Father's Day, dad.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Happy Father's Day, dad.
Is he here?
Is he here?
Oh, my God!
Hey.
Can you put a hand up, bad vape dad?
I see you.
Grayson's dad, fix your busted rig.
Your busted ass vape sucks.
You're embarrassing Grayson.
You're getting minimum ohm.
Grayson, what's your dad's full name?
Grayson, I don't want to put your dad's full name on blast.
He's probably got a job.
Yeah.
He does.
So, your dad has a...
And this is your question that you sent to us, quote, garbage vape rig.
Is it garbage in the fact that he's just blowing out the most pathetic, wispy bullshit ever,
or...
Is it really loud?
Is it like...
Is it technically an asthma inhaler?
He keeps calling it a pipe.
I mean, is it...
Yeah, I mean, is it dangerous?
Does it get very hot or something?
Is it leaking?
Why is it so bad?
It's, one, it's like five or six years old.
It's a very old vape.
Wow, early adopter of vape technology.
I'm into it.
Listen, our podcast is nine years old.
There's nothing wrong with things that are old, next.
Two, it's very beat up.
Like, he has not taken...
That's a lot.
God, listen, Grace's dad, take that to Auntie's Roadshow.
Do not push the feed off.
It's so important to leave it.
Now, this vape rig is from, what, 2013?
Whoa, that's got to be at least $20.
I'm the one that kind of looks like Paul Efton.
Tell me something that's wrong with his rig,
so far I'm on your dad's side with his kick-ass vintage rig.
It's funny, Holly used to use a vape rig just like this one.
Star Wars Episode 7 branding.
Tell me about this busted rig.
It's...
How big is it?
Like, I don't know, an inch by two inches by three inches.
Is it a lightsaber or one of them squares?
It's a lot of square.
It's like a big chunky square.
Nice.
Yeah.
It's fine.
I don't like the ones that look like you're sucking on a talk boy.
I like the lightsabers.
He's practically sucking a carry, like a PC he carries around.
That's practically...
Nice.
Nice.
It's like a little iPad.
He fits all of them.
I mean, hey, it's Father's Day.
Thank you.
That would have been a great gift.
Coulda bought him one, yeah.
Coulda bought him one.
I'm sorry, we can't help you.
Does that help?
Wait.
I got my dad six vape rigs for Father's Day.
He doesn't vape.
Yeah.
Should I get him the Jimmy Buffett ones?
Well, yeah, that goes without saying.
Those are filled with weed.
So if you want your dad to chill out, absolutely.
Yes.
Does that help?
Yes, absolutely.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Over here.
How's it going?
Good.
How are you?
I'm all right.
What's your name?
Sure.
My name is Brandon.
Brandon, hello.
Your question, please.
Did you also send in multiples?
No, I only sent in one.
Okay.
Almost a month ago to the day, on my birthday.
Yes.
My car was stolen.
Okay.
In front of my apartment complex.
And so my question to you guys is how, besides putting jelly under the handle, would I make
my car less attractive to thieves?
Well, you already answered it.
Cool.
Thanks, Brandon.
Boy, that's rough.
On your birthday, huh?
Yeah.
Ah.
I hate to hear that.
Kind of like the Ducks Meanie and My Coyotes version of birthday activities.
Maybe like a really embarrassing novelty license plate that just says like, dumb car.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Yeah.
That's a nice license plate that says, stolen.
Now this one's going to erase some eyebrows before it's stolen.
A spoiler.
Giant spoiler.
Four feet.
Four feet.
Dies.
Across the back of it.
No, like a, what?
Okay.
I see.
Yeah.
It's very funny.
So, could you just make it your car?
Yeah.
You're a stinker.
It may be too late for this, but can you make your next vehicle a PT cruiser?
Because I'm pretty sure nobody's going to want to fuck with that.
I don't know.
There might be a large market for those, so.
No.
Pretty sure there's not.
The mom's terribly no.
Yeah.
Fish.
Wait.
Is it a big thing in Indiana to drive PT cruisers?
What the fuck is up with this state?
Okay.
Take your word for it.
Fine.
And you love PT cruisers.
Okay.
What a wild place.
Have you thought about buying the exact same car that has already been stolen, so then
probably the same person comes back to steal.
They're like, what?
I've already got one.
Or they'll think like, didn't I already steal that fucking car?
What the fuck?
I know exactly how to steal this car.
Excellent.
This is wonderful.
Did you leave it unlocked?
No.
That's good.
That's a good start.
That was actually going to be my one is to lock it, but you are unlocked it.
Because for me, when the thief comes up and tries to open the door and it doesn't and
they walk away, that's a pretty good way to make your car less attractive to thieves.
Yeah, certainly.
Maybe uncomfortable seats.
Yeah, I would have tried that.
I know you would have.
You're asking about what to do next time and I'm saying uncomfortable seats.
Did you do jelly on the handle in the first place?
Raspberry, but he liked it.
Damn it.
That was a joke, Brandon.
I'm mad at you.
I was a joke and not serious and you didn't put the jelly there and your car got stolen
and I hope you've all learned something today.
Don't be like Brandon, who's now become a symbol rather than a listener.
He's become a cautionary tale of what happens when you don't put jelly on your car.
I have one simple answer, a way to make your car less attractive to thieves.
You're always in it.
Always.
Always in it.
And also you have a burglar mask pulled on over your head and you're like, keep moving,
buddy.
Warning, this car is actually turbo teen and if you and after some period of time it will
transform into a teenager that you will have stolen.
Does that help at all?
Yes, somewhat.
All right, thank you.
Fair enough.
No fair.
You fucked up.
You should have put the jelly on, not me.
That's a nice thing to say to someone as they're walking away after this.
I'm just saying put the jelly on next time, Brandon.
Hello.
Hi.
Hi, what's your name?
It should be an insurance thing.
Thank you.
Yes.
Hello, what's your name?
Sean.
Hi, Sean.
What is your question, Sean?
Okay.
I work in an adult novelty store.
Okay.
Can you get a little bit closer to the mic?
Just a little bit closer.
Thank you.
Okay.
Dildos and vibrators, that's what I do.
I figured that was part of the inventory.
And I need to know.
I do like the way you phrase that too because it's almost like you would say to someone
like, I sell dildos and vibrators.
It's what I do.
It is.
My question is how do I politely ask people to not laugh at the 17 inch dildos that we
sell?
It's not funny.
You just laugh.
It's not funny.
You all just laugh.
You fail.
This is a very serious practical.
Those are American made dildos.
Business dildos for serious purposes.
Non comedic in nature.
Let me ask you a question, Sean.
Do they have a funny name?
Be honest.
They're called the Dick Rambone.
Okay.
Well.
All right.
Let's devil's advocate this one.
If I went to a funeral parlor to pick out my own coffin and they're like, well, we have
this 30 foot long coffin.
I would laugh at that because that's not what size coffins usually are.
I have.
I have.
And if they said it's called the Dick Rambone.
If you want people to stop laughing at the 17 inch dildos, you need to start selling 18
inch dildos.
Yeah.
I mean.
You think that's funny?
Look at this.
It's slightly bigger.
Though admittedly thinner.
It's the same amount of material, but spread out over 18 inches instead of 17.
They're all like that.
Eventually it just looks like a windshield wiper.
Do these same people walk through the inventory of your store like laughing at multiples?
Are they laughing and be brutally honest here?
Are they laughing because it's a sex thing?
Are they laughing because it is a 17 inch hog?
Both actually.
Some people, you know, you get your freshly 18 year olds in and they're, it's sex.
So they think it's the funniest thing in the world.
Right.
What they're really asking is how to get people to stop from laughing at any size dildo.
They haven't been walking through somber and then they get to the 17 inch dildo.
They're like, now wait a second.
Right.
They see.
What's even happening here?
They see an average size dildo and they're like, yes.
Right.
Correct.
Just right.
Perfect.
Notice how I said average size dildo there because I didn't want to embarrass myself.
Oh boy.
You can tell me anything right now.
And I'd, I'd believe you.
We actually sell a product called the 24 inch anal snake as well.
Hold up.
Hold up.
Hold up.
Is it penis shaped or snake shaped?
It's snake shaped.
That's just a big snake.
They might be laughing at that just of the poor branding.
If they see the 17 inch dildo after the 24 inch snake, they're going to think the 17
inch one is also a snake.
So maybe it's shock that it's not is why they're laughing.
Or maybe it's relief.
Oh my God.
I was afraid they were all snakes.
My cousin's not going to like that.
It's for a bachelorette.
Sure.
Sure.
Can you hang a sign in that section of the store saying no laughing aloud?
This is serious.
Maybe make them promise before you show it.
Yeah.
You promise you won't laugh.
Oh shit.
That's good.
Bust out a big 17 inch briefcase that you plop up on the table like you're a black arms
dealer.
It's, it's chain to your wrist.
Yeah.
Can you sell what you would classify as a funny dildo though?
We have a glittery one.
Okay.
That's, you've lost perspective.
Sean, does that help?
It works wonders.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
All right.
That's going to do it.
Can we get the house lights turned off please?
It's very intimidating.
Thank you.
It was very fast.
Y'all, this has been so wonderful.
Thank you, Indianapolis.
Y'all have been a delight.
Thank you.
Well, you want to say thank you to, well, a whole bunch of people.
First, if you didn't already, I don't know if they're still selling or not, but Evan
Palmer got a really, really cool poster for us based on the Become the Monster kind of
tour.
It's really, really awesome.
If they're still selling them, grab one.
And if they're not, it sucks to be.
We also want to say thank you to Sawbones.
Yes.
And to Travis and Paul for dropping back and punting on that one.
He did a great job.
And to Risa, I hope you feel better real soon.
We also want to say a very, very special thank you to our dad, Clay McRae.
It is Father's Day.
Happy Father's Day, Daddy.
We love him very, very much.
We would not be who we are without him.
And just count of three.
Let's all sing the Happy Father's Day song.
One, two, three.
Probably something to Steely Dan.
No, it was wrong.
You were wrong.
It was pegged by Steely Dan.
You guys were all wrong.
We also want to say, we just said thank you to Paul Saborn of Paul and Storm, not just
for the worst for Chaskar, but for being our tour manager.
Yes.
Thank you to Clues Theater.
Is that right?
Clues.
Yeah, we said it right.
Let's see.
Thank you to all of you.
Thank you to Max Fun, our home.
Thank you.
To John Rodrick in the long winter.
She used to write theme songs instead of partying off the album, putting the days to
have been.
If you're looking for dining recommendations on the way home, I would suggest the Arby's
slash the Indiana board.

And together we're the hosts of Saw Bones, a marital tour of misguided medicine.
What does that mean for you, the podcast consumer?
Well, it means that you're going to get a lot of stories about how we used to do
weird stuff to people in order to try to fix them.
Do you know that we used to think diseases were caused by bad smells and that we used
to eat mummies for medicine?
That's super funny.
I can't do it.
Well, thanks.
And we hope you'll kind of like our show.
Saw Bones, a marital tour of misguided medicine.
It's available every Friday, wherever fine podcasts are sold.
Or at its beautiful picturesque home at Maximumfun.org.
