My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 476: Face 2 Face: Super-Snake Begins

Episode Date: September 9, 2019

We’re returning from a big, wild family vacation, and so we present to you our big, wild live show from Atlanta! We performed it last weekend, back when we were SO jacked up on Coca-Cola that a beam... of brown, carbonated energy shot out of our chest and blew a hole in the ceiling. You probably read about it in the newspapers.

Starting point is 00:00:00 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 a brother and brother meeting adventure for the modern era, where it is with Vincent McElroy! Hey Paul, I'm gonna need a little bit more in the monitors. I'm Travis McElroy, your middle-est brother. Sorry, yeah, you get it.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Too much monitor. Too much monitor, Paul. I'm your sweet baby-est brother and number one fan of that good brown stuff you call Coca-Cola. You will not believe this, but until today, Griffin had never heard of Coca-Cola. Oh my god, it burns so bad. I'm jacked on Coke. I said, Griffin, we're gonna go to the world of Coke, and Griffin said, fuck yes, that's what I need, fuck yes. And that said, like Coca-Cola, and he was like, what is Coca-Cola? So I didn't go. Yeah, you missed out, but I was busy, I don't know, spending time with our wonderful fans. Don't applaud him, the alternative was spend time with his family.
Starting point is 00:02:00 So we all chose that. But it's kind of like you're my family. Jesus, this is, we get criticized sometimes for turning slowly, so slowly that we hope people won't notice, into a cult, and it's shit like that. Yeah, it's rough. I have individually started like four different, like, calls for sure, capital C calls. So Griffin and I walk into the, I didn't go, what the fuck is it? Okay, World of Coke, I want to give you the full experience. Do you know the soda Coca-Cola? I've heard of it, yes, it's like Mountain Dew's brother. Yes. Okay, imagine a world in which Coke was extremely important. Okay. And I don't mean as a soda, I mean as a human achievement. That would mean as a cultural touch, though, as a monument to human excellence. You walk into the
Starting point is 00:02:48 Coca-Cola Museum and I gotta admit, it was kind of a bad first, the World of Coke, the first impression was Griffin and I were both carrying car seats, and we said, well, fuck, do we put these car seats? And they said to Griffin, if you carry something in, you have to carry it with you the entire time. So know that are including your emotional baggage. There's something, there was something very zen about the way that she said it, but I heard it as that big ass car chair that you're carrying around, you're going to have to bring with you as you learn about Coca-Cola and it's a mystical process. On the right side, you can't have a complimentary Coca-Cola. And I said, oh, so how do you want me to drink that? Because you see these two hands that I have here, I don't
Starting point is 00:03:28 have a third one for Coke, but you've cursed me. We are too big to sit in the chairs and enjoy the Coca-Colas, such as our Sisyphean curse. When you walk in, there is a man who is telling everyone where they should stand in a room full of signs of Coke. And then he said, and he talks about Coke for eight minutes. You must go through this. You must solve this minotaur's labyrinth. Now I know what you're saying, Justin, how do you know it's eight minutes? Because my man kept saying this is only eight minutes long. So many times. So he has the self-awareness of, I know this sucks. He knows it sucks. He would say like, three more minutes. Come on, guys. We got this together. Stay with me. And then we're going to go watch a six minute one. Okay. And then we're going to watch a six,
Starting point is 00:04:16 that's God. He likes Coke. Then we're going to, and he said, after you get done with this, we're going to watch a six minute movie about Coke. And then you can walk around the museum. Okay. Good. My two year old son at that point was like, hell yeah. Let's dance still some more. Yes. Love it. Talk to me more about a drink I'm not allowed to have. Yeah. This man finished this presentation and then we go into this theater and it is a six minute Coca-Cola commercial. It is a six minute long film of people having great memories and good times. I think they're all actors. They're not real. As near as I can tell, at least most of them are. And it's all about Coca-Cola and how cool it is. It's literally a theater where you watch a six minute long movie
Starting point is 00:04:56 about how great Coca-Cola is, which I did some rough back of the napkin math. It has to be top five longest Coke commercials I've ever paid to watch. Absolutely top five. They've already got you. You're at the world of Coke. Why are they still selling you on the idea that Coke rules? Stop selling. I'm crazy about this brown stuff. Nobody's walking into the world of Coke like impress me. The thing I couldn't stop thinking about sitting in this theater watching this short film was that it was about people's most like potent memories involving Coca-Cola. And I feel like the screen should have just been a mirror because for me it was this time that we paid $17 to watch a six minute long Coca-Cola short film. And that would have really made me
Starting point is 00:05:44 It is the most I've ever reflected about Coca-Cola's place in my life. Have I spent enough time appreciating Coca-Cola? This museum dares to ask. Have you? Have you thought about what Coca-Cola could do for you and in many ways has done to you? Yeah, I should hand them a bill for the kidney stones I had that my doctor blamed on brown sodas. There's a there's a 4D film that my wife it's Hobbs and Shaw. They just have it. It's like I'm drinking the Coke the search for the secret formula which I was searched about but my wife as children rendered her flesh apart informed me that we would not be sitting through a third thing that we had to sit through. But wouldn't it be great if at the end of that movie they just told you what the secret formula is like?
Starting point is 00:06:33 Well no one's sat through it before. It's mostly we got water. There's one person left and they're like anyway it's blended up raisins. Now let's get in the coca-vator and then they then they punch you in the stomach once real hard. I there was a we couldn't do most of the things because the kids didn't give a crystal shit about any of this. They did not give one solitary duty. They prefer Fanta. Yeah well Fanta's upstairs man it's a Coke product baby. Whoa that's what I'm saying it's a big thing they don't care so we're skipping most of it. I did notice however there is a very long line of people waiting to get into the vault where what the only handwritten recipe for Coca-Cola is. I know what you're saying. I can't wait to lay eyes on it. Well no you don't look at it. It's a line to
Starting point is 00:07:21 go into the vault where they keep the recipe. If I'm all I could tell that tell you was everybody in this line has now been planted a seed where they're going to go home and tell some unsuspecting person the most boring story they've ever heard. Or or start planning the most badass heist. That's true. It just feels like waiting in line to go into a vault where a thing you can't look at is is the last thing you do when you've done everything else on earth. Well I've experienced I'm an immortal and I've experienced every earthly pleasure there is. We're not gonna shit on the whole world of Coca-Cola because the tasting room was so legit. I got to try that Honduran that fucking Delaware punch from Honduras. Thank you Honduras you're doing it so right. I have bad news after
Starting point is 00:08:09 tasting all the world sodas and this is gonna be hard for a lot of you all to hear. America is no longer the greatest country on earth. I know I know it was hard for me to realize too but after I tasted the soda that's about pineapples what am I supposed to do? Now what was just one last thing about the tasting room? What was the weirdest one? Italy has one called Beverly that's the worst fucking thing. You had the Beverly. It's like Campari that doesn't fuck you up it's the pits. Huh it's a very bitter unpleasant trying soda. Were there any were there any savory sodas? Perhaps a stew soda. Do you know the stuff that they give you to like spray on your entertainment center that you don't want your dog to lick and bite? It's like that but for folks. Yeah it tastes
Starting point is 00:09:03 like a it tastes like a no-no soda. It tastes like the back of a switch cartridge. Yeah let's do some show. Yeah this is my show. Let's do it. We got two by the way uh we got two shows worth of energy now because our show in Orlando tomorrow has been canceled if anybody was planning on going down for that. Yes we are bummed as well. But so we're leaving it all on the field tonight. How can I just go? I recently moved in with two guys I don't know very well. The house is very nice but the boys have a pretty extensive collection of dead things. Not hunting trophies more like animal bones and dried out insects and just all sort of random found things. I think this is actually really cool and I've always wanted to start a bone collection. This took a turn.
Starting point is 00:09:55 But never knew where to start. What is a non creepy way to ask these guys to help me start my own dead things collection? That's from Afraid of Seeming Creepy in Atlanta are you here? Yeah yeah decisive. Are you worried that when you ask them how do you start collecting bones and stuff they say well step one find a roommate who doesn't know you very well. Yeah and asks too many questions. Sure uh on the inverse if you wanted to start a bone collection stealing theirs and then murdering them you just made the collection bigger. But now you've made yourself a huge target for bone collectors. Oh no. They heard about a big score in Atlanta. If you want to be the bone collector you have to murder the current bone collector adding their bones to the massive
Starting point is 00:10:52 pile. I would I would also say that worrying about being creepy by being enthusiastic about like trying not to be creepy is way creepier. If you're like nice bones. Cool bones. Get me some of those bones. I'd like to get some regular bones. Regular normal not weird at all bones. They know it's creepy. They don't collect them because they're romantic or erotic. They know it's like a creepy thing. Yeah so you should acknowledge that. That's fine. Hey these are creepy. Let me get in on it. I love it. Yeah. Hey you have done you have had your desired effect on me. That's creepy. You're interesting. I love creepy stuff. I love Beetlejuice. The movie and the music. I love pumpkin. I love I love pumpkins. I love all the creepy ghosts and everything. I love Skellington's. Skellington.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Or did you procure the bones? Hey who's this character? This is Peter Stormair asking about bones. Okay one more time. Boy how did you procure the bones. I like him very much. Yeah you got to get bones from somewhere folks. They don't just fall out of trees unless the bird has a akazine. I'm trying to think of a self-inflicted accident that a bird could do in a tree that would make bones shoot out. Can you imagine a bird falling out of a tree and thinking what could I have done? Oh if only I a bird was prepared for falling. It's got to be like I'm going to slam my face into this tree. Well what kind of bird am I again? I think I'm a woodpecker. Nope. I forgot. This brings up another good point though. Are your roommates carrying birds?
Starting point is 00:12:51 Who have brought home their sweet treasures? I have some yahoos here from the yahoos. Let's start with one from a hometown hero Paul Saborn. Thank you Paul for sending a miss yaho. The home is our hearts. It's from an anonymous yahoos user who I'm going to call John because there's a Papa John's commercial on my screen also. At this time sometimes they call them advertisements. John asks. I'm going to give him his full screen of this Papa John's commercial. I can't enjoy it. He's turned on closed captions. Griffin please we have a show to do. Griffin come back. Oh Shaq's in it. Oh yeah okay. John asks. What is some eating music?
Starting point is 00:13:54 Additional details. Yes eating music. Update. I meant food. John got some comments. How about this? But I'm not. Benjamin eats a lunch. Oh so this is a personalized eating song. Right this is original content that you've made for yourself. Yes if your name is Benjamin and you're eating lunch. But I'm not. Benjamin eats a lunch. But I'm not. Benjamin eats a lunch. And he takes another bite. And he takes another bite. Benjamin eats a lunch. Man I really like chips. Benjamin eats a lunch. It's good. So let's now look there is a there's an industry on YouTube for like happy birthday blank and the person sings like every imaginable name on earth. Travis has just stumbled into a new industry entirely
Starting point is 00:15:04 and it's going to be wild because you're going to have to do every name fill in that blank and also every conceivable type of food so that he could eat. I'm running the math in my head and I think it's going to be about 64 trillion different combinations. That's not okay that's not actually true because you just have to do chips and something other than chips right. Yes a lot of people can like chips right. That's true. You don't need a personalized food they just like chips like chips other chips is their favorite. Got to be personalized to the food they're eating at that exact moment. Okay. Alternate because you know I'm all about this plate about this plate. What's on it. I will not let you fucking do this. I will not let you pull this show down
Starting point is 00:15:51 into like some sort of weird Al Yankovic funeral. I'm not going to let you do it. Actually weird Al has a lot of songs. I'm about to drink this shake shake shake. What. I'm trying to come up with one more. Weird Al's got a lot of good songs. That's a common rule of force. Juice. Juice. Yeah. That's what the song's about. Jake gets the juice. She really likes juice. He loves this stuff. I've got some juice. It works for both Lizzo and Chanel Monnet. It's just all of the comments are so profound. Sexual healing. Sexual healing depending on what you're eating. If you're having a nice pasta dinner that you made yourself with a friend. Sexual healing might be like a nice tip. Close friend.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Close friend. You're eating pasta. Very close friend. Just a good spaghetti. When I get that feeling it's an orange that I'm peeling. Don't look at me. You've profaned this stage. That's all I want to talk about this. And that wraps up another one. Another great segment. Time to wipe off the grease paint. Sweep up all the feathered boas. Is jumping rope still cool? I am a former world champion. Oh I thought you were just asking. Is jumping rope still cool? I'm a former world champion jump roper. What? Don't do this now because you're going to be sorely tempted but Google superskippers team from North Carolina. You're all here tonight. Wow. Sit still.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Stop jumping. Now that I'm getting older it doesn't seem to impress my colleagues like the kids in the playground. I still love jumping. So how could I make jump rope cool again? And that's from like house of pain. Still jumping around. Are you here? All right. All right. All right. So wait. Hold on. That voice came from back. The people who were super jazzed about the superskippers. We're like here. Do we have like a big like fan group of superskippers here? Yeah man. I followed them on the whole jump the jump the world tour dude. It was some of the best times in my life. Me and Leapfrog and Toby the Toad Robbins and Jimmy the jump roper. We didn't have a lot of words to go off of. So if it's
Starting point is 00:18:36 a lot of them just use the word jump rope. Yeah. Hobbs McSteam. Hobbs and Shaw. Hobbs and Shaw. Yeah. You don't really have many opportunities to get above a rope repeatedly. It doesn't come up. Yeah. That's not a thing of like, oh man, we can't get these reports done. If only someone could jump rope them. Unless you are in an office environment and you work IT and you're like, oh, probably the wires got tangled. Hold on. Let me get behind there. No. Shit. This one's in my way. Shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Wait. Hold on. In your own example, you're also twirling your own rope. Whoa. Whoops. That only works if you're like a lassoing cowboy. I know. What Griffin is suggesting
Starting point is 00:19:27 in the fiction that Griffin has suggested, you start jumping over the cords as a fun gag and then realize you are extremely good at it. Are you seeing this shit? Okay. I love your form, by the way, Griffin. You look like a penguin who was being electrocuted. I mean, if not going to anybody can jump rope like this, the judges want some stink on it. I think that might be the problem is if you do not have a jump rope present, you can't be like, yeah, I used to jump rope like this. And then without a jump rope to start going. Right. Because it makes you look like a monster. That's what we, that's what we almost had you do
Starting point is 00:20:16 by making you come up on stage and demonstrate. But no, you will not have to do this thing. You've picked a skill that while great for you and very healthy. Good for your heart. Good for your heart and boring to watch. You've picked a skill that is not applicable in the real world. The only time I have jump rope is that there's a game at Chuck E cheese where you have to pretend to jump a rope. Now you could see that game at Chuck E cheese with your coworkers in engineering scenario where you're like, hold on, let me try this out. But you know, and I know that you're going to get caught in the second fucking one and you're going to look like a clown. You're going to look like a clown that bragged about being great at
Starting point is 00:20:56 jump rope that gets caught up by the Chuck E cheese jump rope machine instantly. And you know Chuck is going to say shit. Yeah, I've never thought about this before this second, but jump rope falls into this category of like events, sports skills, where when you see someone doing it, no matter how much you were impressed by it, you are watching waiting for them to fuck up. Yeah, you are not, you are not watching a jump rope or thinking, I want to see how good they can do. You're thinking, I want to see in case this goes really bad. They can jump rope for approximately eight seconds before you're like, I hope they fuck up. I'd love to stop watching this. This is like badass dance jump rope. Yeah. We are talking about this question as if it is just
Starting point is 00:21:38 a single person jumping over a rope over and over. I am now thinking that probably a world championship wasn't just let's see how long you can go. Yeah, I don't want to be too dismissive. This isn't juggling after all. No, this is a real skill. Well, it's no, it's nowhere near What if you juggled while jumping rope? Now we're talking about nothing. That's nonsense. What are you? Stop. What are you juggling? Other jump ropes. Whoa, that other people are using. Whoa. Whoa. Have they ever done that before? Hold up. Two people do in the thing for one person who's hold you make an H with it. Oh, no, you've made a friendship bracelet. Uh-oh. Yeah, you get done. You've made a beautiful quilt. You're weaving at this point.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Here's another yahoo. Yes, please. And this one's this one is like relevant to a lot of people, I think, uh, sent in by the prospector, Merritt Palmer. Thank you, Merritt. It is anonymous yahoo answers user who I'm going to call boo boo asks if you work as a house painter and have a magic brush that expertly paints by itself. How long could do this gig before you are caught out? Additional details or could you potentially keep earning money easy for as long as possible as the paintbrush is fast and knows exactly what to do. Okay, what really is frustrating here is the additional detail they did not provide is were you a house painter who found the magic brush or did you get the magic brush and then decided to become a house or are
Starting point is 00:23:23 you an opportunistic wizard? Yes. Are you Mickey Mouse in front of you? Right. Because if so, this could go real bad. Yeah, you have got to keep an eye on that brush. Yeah, this does not end well for you. Yes, if that brush goes, I don't know, murdery. When I have anyone do a job for me that I am incapable of doing myself, which is to say most jobs, I work extremely hard to never look at them. And it's not because I think I'm superior. In fact, quite the opposite. I'm fairly sure if they look me in the eyes, they'll know that I am incapable of doing what they're doing in a million lifetimes. I wouldn't know if they had achieved the task I set before them or not. I wouldn't know where to begin. I don't understand it. I will pay literally any price they say is the
Starting point is 00:24:16 fair price for this service. And I know if they look into my eyes, they're going to see way down deep to see that scared little eight year old inside. And I can't do that. I have to maintain that deep. Yeah, thanks. I have to maintain this cloak of like, if they don't see me, I could be a very good painter guy who didn't have a lot of free time, right? They don't know at this point. So I guess I'm saying is you could run this scam on me for ever. I would never look at the brush. And if I did, I would just assume that's the way it's done. Right. Oh, that's what I've been doing wrong. That makes sense. That is a magic brush. Yeah, because what this question supposes is, is that if someone was painting your house
Starting point is 00:25:04 and you came home or you came downstairs or whatever, and you saw a magic paintbrush, doing the work that you would be like, Hey, hey, get out of here. And not like that rules. That's amazing. That brush knows exactly what to do. Mother fuckers are going to be paying you extra to get the magic brush treatment. Hey, could you come back and paint again? I love that brush. My kids love the brush. It's all they talk about. In fact, the new baby shark kids love the brush. That might be the worry is that if I saw this happening, I might pull the brush aside and be like, Hey, cut out the dead way. Thank you. I'll pay you magic brush directly. You don't need Doug over there just eating my sandwiches. Magic brush doesn't need
Starting point is 00:25:51 money. Magic brush doesn't for the love of the game. Then why does he work with Doug? What? Then why is Doug there? Because it's the spirit of his father inside of it. Yeah, inside of Doug. No, his dad's magic. His dad's ghost is in the paintbrush. And also the so he inherited the job of house painter. Maybe he didn't want to be a house painter. Maybe he dreamed of being a lawyer. He's not a he's not a fucking house painter. To be fair, he's a guy that owns a brush. Right. Oh, but he can't paint in the big house. He's got to do that on his own because the angels can't be there. Right. This is a great movie we're writing. If I could just put forward that a magic paintbrush couldn't have its own like page on Yelp. And so that's why it needs a human presence
Starting point is 00:26:37 in fall. It would be hard to call the magic brush. Hey, is this magic brush? I'm sorry. What was that? We all we also know that if Doug lets the secret out of the government, we'll try to weaponize magic. You want to you want to go paint uranium on the enemies? That's our shit. You want to go paint big bull's eyes on the bad guys? We haven't been able to hit me yet, but we think that with the bull's eye, I just get them. I get your concerns. I just don't know why you won't support our magic brushes. That was really funny to me. Apparently not the recipe. Freedom isn't free. Support our magic paintbrushes. I attended a rave at a rock con.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Okay, I have to say one more thing about the Coca Cola movie. Okay. Yeah. It was moments, magical moments from our lives, right? In one of the magical moments, there was a soldier returning home to his family at a basketball game and they put it on the Jumbotron. They didn't know he was going to be there and then he was there and they like Coca Colas, but whatever, right? So they have that moment. Everybody's crying, sobbing. Literally, the next moment is three white idiots throwing basketballs off a 20th, 20th floor balcony into a hoop in the ocean below and celebrating when they succeed in this. Coca Cola has placed these two things on equal footing. That's how much it understands human. You're excited about the
Starting point is 00:28:21 basketball. You're excited about the boy from war. Refreshment is required regardless. Sorry. Yeah. I attended a rave at a rock climbing gym and they were serving food after I got my food. I realized that literally the only place I could sit down and eat was a single picnic table inside. It's not the worst when you go to a rave and there's nowhere to sit down. You go to rave, there's only one picnic table. There was already a couple eating there, but there was room for a few more people across from them. I sat on the other side of the table and realized belatedly the couple was having a very intense hushed argument about something
Starting point is 00:29:16 I don't know what about because raves are loud. By the time I figured this out, the face painting folks had set up next to me so I couldn't move. Did you meant to write fair and you wrote rave? By the time I figured this out, the face painting folks set up next to me so I couldn't move. All I could think to do was angle my body away from them, eat as fast as possible, and pretend that nothing was happening. Was there anything else I could have done? That's from Topnoping in Chattanooga. Is that a rock climbing thing? Topnoping? Yeah. Are you here? Okay, the first piece of good news. Thank you for your bravery. The first piece of good news is that I can pretty much statistically guarantee you will not run into
Starting point is 00:30:00 this problem ever again. The bad side of that is statistically speaking, you're the only human being to ever encounter it. Yeah. Can I ask a question that maybe is the most curious I've ever been about anything in my adult life? Oh boy. So I need you all to be very quiet. What kind of food do they serve in a rave? Chicken on a stick. That's good protein. So what you're saying is at this rave, there's a table set up with towel upon tub of chicken on a stick and you saw that and thought that definitely won't give me food boys thing. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Let's get all these these ecstasy high kids just out there with some wooden spears. That's the worst that could happen.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Do you think the face painters showed up and they're like, are we? Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck, sorry. Do you think when the face painters are hired, they were not expecting, you know, all of that that you have just described in your email? What do you think face painters are like? I just know how to do Spider-Man. I just drove here from a children's hospital. This is a lot. Hi, is this face painters? I'd like to hire you for a normal thing. About two 30 is that good for a start time and then it's just kind of to question mark. How much how much paint should you bring? How much paint will cover the faces of 100 extremely, extremely, extremely tripping people. It's important that they'll be sweating it off
Starting point is 00:31:51 every 15 minutes. Yes. The good news doesn't have to be good. They won't be able to see shit. Yes. Just get them sloppy. They won't know. Do you have a magic paintbrush? Magic paintbrush is falling on some hard times in this economy. We haven't even discussed the rock climbing element. Is there a full-time employee at this party whose sole job is to keep an eye out for somebody who thinks it's a good idea to try and climb right now because of the the confidence that the drugs have given them? Okay, but also, oh, once again, this is going to show I know nothing about raves. Was it in conjunction with the rock climbing gym or was it secretly illegally at the rock climbing gym? Like they threw a brick through the window
Starting point is 00:32:44 and they're like, this seems like a good rave spot. I mean, the alternate of that is you go to the manager and say, hey, I'd really like to throw a rave here. Yeah, I feel like I feel like the rock climbing should be included with the rave price. I'm already here. I might as well climb. I wish you could have a rave at the aggro crag. Yes. Guts, but it's a rave for adults. Yes. Do you have it? Drugs. We're going to see who's the highest. Let's go to the leaderboard. No. They all are. The guy who thinks he's a butterfly. He wins. He wins the entire contest. He won guts. He gets a glowing piece of this radical bud. All right. They smoke the weed at raves, right? Sure. Probably maybe no, definitely not. You said, yeah, it's too loud. I'm calling the police.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Got you. Got you. They agreed to a drug joke officer. Take them away. All right. Now that was six whole minutes about not even answering the question at all. Answer the question. Next time this happens, when you are near a couple who is fighting quietly, loudly or otherwise, you now have to convince them that you are their child from the future. Yes. Okay. Here's the maneuver you have to institute, right? As they start arguing, years go, oh, no, and pull your hand into your sleeve. For the listener, Travis has pulled his hand into his sleeve. Some funny carrot top shit. You could also show them a picture of themselves and they'll be like, what is this? Anybody missing? Anybody turn invisible? And show a picture of themselves on your phone that you
Starting point is 00:34:31 just took. And they're like, what is this? Like, it's a picture of my parents. Yeah. I always carry it with me. So I'll remember the night.

It's yahoo answers user Mark, who asks, if venomous snakes evolved, then how does the snake become aware that it has venom inside it?
Starting point is 00:40:20 Oh, shit. I don't hear all of you laughing and I think it's because a lot of you are like, oh, fuck, how do you know? Yeah, right? Yes, there's a question. So just hold on. Let me get comfortable. Let me think about it. Okay, so snake. Yes. Yes. Bites a deer. Yes. Deer dies. Snake. What the fuck? Right. Snake goes home. Did you guys fucking see that? I bit that huge snake, the huge brown snake with four legs. I bit that giant fucking snake, and it died from one bite. I must have bit. I didn't think I bit its fucking brain, but I must have because the alternative of this is the snake is born. And when it becomes like aware enough, it goes, I feel like I've got poison in me. Let's get some hiker ankles. I'm
Starting point is 00:41:15 going to test this out, but I really feel like with my teeth, I can push something through them into another thing and kill it. Do you think the snake parents are like, why don't you go give that giant gray snake that looks like a wolf? We would know it as a wolf. Why don't you go give that gray snake a test bite? And the kid's like, no, thanks, hard pass. I'll fucking die. The dad's like, I don't know. Maybe you should just give it a try. And the kid's like, what the fuck? Do I have super powers? He does it. A big bearded snake smashes in through the wall and is like, you got Venom Harry. This is another, I always think about kind of another kind of avenue of this whenever I'm watching Planet Earth, which I watch a lot, because it's the only thing that
Starting point is 00:42:14 takes everything away from me. Anytime it's like an entity that has like bright colors to let things know that it is poisonous, how do the birds know that? A bird's not watching Planet Earth. Like, oh, I better not eat that fucking frog then, I guess. You would think that if a bird saw a brightly colored insect, like, easy to find. Further confusing the fact that brightly colored birds are the party birds. Do you think that they're snakes who see brightly colored birds? That motherfucker just talked human snake words, no thanks. Full of Venom, that one is Chocoblock. Yeah, you don't like, they never say like, I'm not eating another one of those. I died last time. I'm not going to fall for that one twice. Unless like there are three birds and one of the birds
Starting point is 00:43:08 goes and eats the bug and dies and the other two are like, wow, I guess we shouldn't eat those birds or eat those bugs. The first snake to have Venom, because I get it, like your parents tell you, hey, you're going to get Venom when you, this is a process, I know it's confusing, your body's going through a lot of changes right now, but the first snake to have Venom in it. You've got to stop biting yourself, trust us. You'll go blind, literally. And then you will go rigid, and then you will pass away. You will go rigid though, so then. Yeah, if that's the intended. The first snake that did this though, yes, their parents were like, listen, we're just kind of like big shitty worms or sheep or teeth are pretty sharp, but other than that, we don't have a lot
Starting point is 00:43:53 of stuff going for us. You can go up and bite the big man snake, but they will hit you with a club and you'll die probably. And then this kid was like, I don't know, guys, I feel pretty confident. I feel really boys in this. I feel really confident. I could go like bite and kill that human snake. I might give it a shot. We'll try it. And that was like snake Superman. Yes, because that snake would bite that man and that man would fall down and all the other snakes like, what the fuck? Do it again. Do it again. Wait, wait, bite me, bite me. Yeah, I'm dying. Hey, everybody, it's Griffin and Travis here in the present.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Woo. We've done it. You think jokes times is over just because it's commercial times? No way, man. We're here to make you bust up really hard here during the commercials, to make you consider buying the products that we're here to tell you about today. Yes. The first commercial is for my product, a show that I did. Whoa. Bologna. What? This is Bologna. No, I don't make Bologna, Griffin. This is a show that I do here in Cincinnati called the Cincinnati Underground Society Show or CUS for short, where I bring some mystery guests and it's my friends.

Let's my genitals stay up late, eat snacks, eat all the kettle corn that we have in the pantry.

We release you now to the rest of the episode. Fly, you fools. Fly, we banish thee. Get ye gone. Hello there, ghouls and gals. It is I, April Wolfe. I'm here to take you through the twisty, scary, heart-pounding world of genre cinema on the exhilarating program known as Switchblade Sisters. The concept is simple. I invite a female filmmaker on each week, and we discuss their favorite genre film. Listen in closely to hear past guests like the Babadook director, Jennifer Kent, Winter's Bone director, Deborah Granick, and so many others every Thursday on MaximumFun.org.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Tune in if you dare. It's actually a very thought-provoking show that deeply explores the craft and philosophy behind the filmmaking process while also examining film through the lens of the female gaze. So, like, you should listen. Switchblade Sisters. Snakes are fun, though. Hey, do you want to do some audience questions? Yeah, I'll do some audience questions. Hi, I'm Kenny. Hi, Kenny. Hi, Kenny. So, my question is, how, or rather, what is the face that I make at the person behind the counter when I go up and grab free condoms from them? Right. Okay, now, I don't know you very well, Kenny, so I'm not sure what face you make. Well, I'm going to assume you mean what face should I make. Do you want us to show you?
Starting point is 00:51:13 Kenny's made his question very clear. I bet it's like this. I think it goes a little something like this. Something like that, Kenny. Kenny, if you're aware enough of it, it's probably pretty weird, Kenny. Yeah, maybe it's like I'm a gnardy boy. Or maybe you just eat them. Maybe you go cone heads. You probably go for a little stinker thing like, what are these for? I don't know what kind of face I make when doing literally anything. I'm just not aware of that. I try to keep it pretty neutral all the time. It's the worst thing about doing a TV show for six episodes. It's true. Oh, that's what it looks like all the time, huh? That's
Starting point is 00:52:02 turns out the face I make when other people talking is nothing. Yeah. I think one real answer is anybody who is like sitting out of desk handing out condoms, people taking them probably what they're expecting. Yeah, I don't think you need to be like, hmm, what's a condom? You say better get this back to the lab. I don't think you need like old timey train conductor who like fell through a wormhole. I think you can just say like, thanks for the condoms and leave. Yeah, thanks would be nice. Oh, choice for sex. Cool. Oh, thank you. This is going to help make, you know, the world better. That's cool. I don't think you need an excuse. Yeah, yeah, you don't need a bit. And I don't think you need to be like looking at
Starting point is 00:52:50 something else and then grab it real quickly. Although if you did that and I was the version of the dance guy, we're like, God, nice. Devils advocate, can you spend too much time perusing, man? Which is to say like you scoop up a handful and I'm like, no, no. Have you ever used, is this good? Would you recommend this one? Have you, have you done orange? I assume they're all the same brand of con. I assume they don't have. It's not a grab bag. Yeah. Just get the condoms. Thank you for getting the condoms, Kenny. Well done. Now, here's what you, here's what I will say. Maybe avoid like taking multiple handfuls. Just, just take what you need. Take a penny, leave a penny. You know what I mean? Don't, don't, okay, but can I make a suggestion? Don't leave a
Starting point is 00:53:39 penny. Don't, whatever you do. Okay, I would submit though, if you are at the free condom bowl, one seems like a weird number to take, right? If you like, one is like, I'm going to try this and I'll see how I feel about it. Or, or you burst into the door, grab one condom and run out of the room. Just run in. You have condoms. Thank God. I feel like if you take more on the phone, just wait. If you take one, the implication is, here's Hopa. I don't know. I'll give it a fucking shot. 30, it says like, got a big weekend plan. Oh man. I'm having a cost efficient water balloon fire. Does that help Kenny? Yes, it does very much. Thanks, boys. Hello. Hey guys. How's it going? Going great. I'm Chris from D11. Hi, Chris. I'm from D11.
Starting point is 00:54:43 I love D11. It's a great spot. It's very comfy. You can angle that mic up if you want to get it right, right in the mouse cone. Yeah, sure, bossy. So what's the deal? Well, I've been dating my girlfriend for a couple years. Nice. And I don't talk to her dad much, but I heard second hand that he wants to make a redneck out of me. Okay, okay. Redneckanize me. And that's a little scary, you know, in a way. Can I tell you something? It rules. Well, let's finish our question. Right. So basically, I'm just afraid. What you have just said is short hand for how everyone feels all the time in the world. Yeah. Do you? Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:31 You're, is it, I guess there's not a term for this, is there? Girlfriend's father. Your father in what? Your father in law? You, your girlfriend's father wants to turn you into a redneck. You are wearing a Seinfeld t-shirt. I don't, I just want to say, I don't think this dude fucking has it in him. Honestly, he's got miles to go before he sleeps. I don't think he's going to make it. What's the deal with turkey jerky? Maybe you two could do a cultural exchange, right? Well, like he takes you to what is honestly a super cool monster truck rally. They're awesome.
Starting point is 00:56:15 And you make him watch a bunch of Seinfelds. So wait, why can't he have the soup? I don't know, but he's there to, it's a business, right? So wouldn't he want to sell the soup? You got to explain the soup. Can you, can you, the last thing we want to do is, is play off of rural stereotypes. Can you give us an example of what sort of activities you think you have prepared for you? Well, you mentioned jerky. He makes his own jerky. Hell yeah. Nice. Don't you can't fucking pretend like you guys like jerky after all the jerky shit you give me. No, no, no. I like homemade, like I'm going to spend my days at all. I liked jerky before it. No, I actually, it's not that I like jerky. I romanticize the idea
Starting point is 00:57:01 that someone would teach me how to do something practical. Yes. In these my twilight years that I could still learn to be of use to society. It's very, it's very intoxicating idea. But you got to be careful with that because it's like, here's how you plant a farm in a coffee can or whatever. When the shit hits the fan, you're like, okay, okay, okay. Here's how you break into your own car. If you lock your keys in there or somebody else's wink, I won't tell. It's like, okay, okay, okay. And it's like, here's a, here's a grot wire. And it's like, no, no, no, no. The other stuff was cool. But when a situation arises in which you need to use a grot wire, you'll be so mad you didn't learn. That's fair. Why do I even, how do I even? Oh no, they're next right
Starting point is 00:57:41 there. I got this. And you start jumping rope with it. Is it like this? Yeah. What else? Jerky. We got jerky. What else? What else? You know, mostly jerky. Okay. So the question, let me redo your question for you. Right. My girlfriend's badass dad wants to give me handfuls and handfuls of free good jerky. Here. Okay, you want to know if it sounds like you just don't want to make jerky roll up with just like a pack of bologna and be like, I brought this and he'll never invite you back. Where's the, where's the microwave? I don't know, man. I don't know. I like Seinfeld. Not dry meats. You know me. I like my meats nice and wet. I know it was bad to say. So that's it, Chris. Thank you, Chris. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Hello. Hello. I'm Jessica. Hi, Jessica. Hello. What's the deal? So I need to banish Mickey Mouse from my home. Okay. Have you tried burning sage? That's endangered. Sage is endangered? Yeah, it was on Twitter. I don't know. Sage. It's a plant. But um, very more of the plant. Plants can't be endangered. Very more of the plant. Tell it to Twitter. I don't know. I, I won't. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You know what? I'm finally going to stand up to Twitter. Okay. Sorry. Yeah. So me and my sister are in a lovely apartment. It's, you know, really cheap. Nice. Yeah. And the landlord's daughter decorated it with these puzzles of Mickey and Minnie and various just romantic getaways. Oh, jam. Nice. Yeah. And so she wants to remove them, but I'm really afraid of losing my security deposit.
Starting point is 00:59:45 And she's friends with me on Instagram. So I don't know how I would display that I got rid of them and replace them. And I just need to get them out. Are they like soldered to the wall? No, they're just on prominent display in the living room. And that's not a good reason to revoke your security deposit. I think you move some pictures. Not pictures puzzles that this person is obviously fucking bragging about. Are they? They're very good puzzles. Are they complete? They're very good puzzles. Okay. What does that mean? Oh, you never believe how they fit together. You couldn't have guessed it in a million years. Are they, are they solved puzzles? Yes, they are. No, it's a big fucking bag of puzzle pieces. It's a halfway done puzzle. Like, I don't know, I gave up. But anyway, I
Starting point is 01:00:35 should laugh it as was. I do not make fun of me as though the idea of finishing a puzzle and say, I'm gonna fucking show this to everybody. It's not equally wild to what you're just okay. Listen, it is wild on a scale to that. But the other side of that scale is I didn't finish this. Look at it. No, I thought maybe it was like, I don't know, I got stuck here. Maybe you can help. Something like that. Maybe you could take over. I will also say I in my life have lived in a lot of apartments. I've never moved into one where they were like, we decorated it for you. Well, she used to live there. That doesn't matter. Not excuse. Doesn't anymore. It should be empty. Like a former crime scene that has been cleaned. Yeah. And pretended like no other human being
Starting point is 01:01:25 has been in there before. I would prefer that. Yes, we all would because that's how apartments are supposed to work. Can you hang bigger puzzles over them? If you won't take them down, I'm limited on my options. Oh, what if you took them down, smashed them apart and started putting them back together? And then if someone's like, what you're like, oh, I assumed because it's a puzzle, that's what it was there for. I assumed you were taunting me to see if I could do it. The glass is for breaking in case of extreme boredom. So you're worried about your... Are they really hard puzzles? I mean, they're pretty big. I guess they would be hard. It could be four pieces though. I have a three year old. The size of the puzzle doesn't matter.
Starting point is 01:02:18 You're worried about the landlord seeing pics on Instagram? Yes. Yes, okay. Can you just like put like a fun minion gif, like dancing over exactly where the puzzle is supposed to be? Here and my brother and my brother and me, I don't know if you all have noticed, mostly what we deal with is social anxiety. The idea of if I were the landlord or the landlord's child, of ever approaching another human being and saying, hey, do you, the current owner of this living space, did you take down the puzzle's eye and the doll, put up in the home? I'm never going to do that ever. But the problem is that the people who exist who are like that make us the people we are trapped in. Right, yes. Right. Yes. The people, this is one of the great, like, I think about
Starting point is 01:03:10 this a lot, the sort of, uh, self-fulfilling prophecy. The person that would finish the Mickey Mouse puzzle and say, I'm going to prominently display this in my home is the precise person that would be very upset if that puzzle was no longer prominently displayed. Right. This is the exact person because they are the person that did the thing in the first place. Yes, because they see it just like one might leave, you know, the kitchen sink of the apartment. Right. It cannot be removed or it's no longer an apartment. I figured the main reason you wanted to live there was the Mickey Mouse puzzles. I've lovingly put up. It wasn't, it wasn't on my list of things that I was looking for. Were they in there when you first looked at the apartment? Yes. It's on you.
Starting point is 01:03:52 And did you not ask? I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry. This is on you. I'm sorry. We can't help, but it's on you. I knew they were there. I do want to say though, I don't know that I've talked about this on the show before that I lived with a girlfriend in college and she didn't want her dad to know about that arrangement and so healthy, healthy. And they're still together today. And so I existed like a ghost in my house, except for my computer, which I had to hide in the closet when her dad came over along with myself somewhere else. So let me just say as somebody who lived like that for a year, it's not that hard. Just when you have to take a picture, hang them back up. And the whole time, you got to think every night, this is good. This is how it is.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Does that help? Yes. Okay, good. Oh, Jesus. That's a bit I would not do at the beginning of the show when this class was full. Hello. We're apparently going way too personal tonight. So what do you have? What was your name? James. James. Yeah, so I'm lactose intolerant and having to like, cool. And having to like pop a pill, you know, it's real, you know, people look at you because it's a white pill and you're like, yeah. So how can I like, as we all know, white pills are the most taboo. They decided to remain in the matrix, but also know about it. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So like, how can I like stealthily like pop it in there? I've been doing the yonra. You do it like before,
Starting point is 01:05:46 I'm like at the, at the table before me on assuming if I, you know, if they're like bringing on a three course, no, there's lactose in it, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, that's what you need it for. Have you thought about hiding it in some cheese? I love that. Just carry. Oh, uh, do you need any more parmesan, sir? Actually, I bought a little bit from home. If you would just grate this a little bit. It's grating activated. Maybe just look at them and go, this is party drugs. And then eat it. I mean, James, I must say, and not to undo the entire concept of the question, but I don't typically notice other people taking a pill. And if I do, I don't think twice about it. So unless you're going, oh, I'm taking this, I don't have cheese
Starting point is 01:06:30 forks. Well, you know what? I would actually argue that if I were sitting with you for the meal, you are about to, and you leaned over and said, Hey, I'm taking this side of the cheese forks. I'm like, thank you. Yes. Good. You're, uh, you're a hero. Excellent. James, we are sharing a lift home. Thank you, James. I do appreciate that as your loved one. Why do you want to cloak the fact that you don't want to have cheese? You would think you would celebrate that. Hey, I'm an adult and I'm responsible for not only my experience, but yours. It's like if you was a wolf man, if you gave everybody a silver bullet gun, I might turn into a wolf man. I want you to shoot me with this. Oh man, I really appreciate
Starting point is 01:07:26 that. Thank you so much. Hey, just before the full moon, I do need to swallow this silver bullet so I don't have wolf farts. Can you have it as a pellet in one of your molars like a samurai? I do have to get a tooth taken out so I can just like perfect opportunity here to have one lactose pill at a time in there, not tooth shaped, still pill shaped. People may notice.
