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 I could have never seen what was coming for me hangs at the skate park hangs by the beach my life It feels It's better it's better It's better it's better

It's better it's better Hello everybody and welcome to my brother my brother mean and advice show for the modern era I'm your oldest brother Justin McElroy, and I'm your middlest brother Travis McElroy, wow Feels good. It feels good. It feels real good, and I'm old man 2021 Wanwan baby is 2022 here wait baby just eat that old man to death He did it's 2022 this Griffin. There's a sweet baby brother Griffin macro Is that what happens every year this baby's naked, and it doesn't have a name

I when was the last time we recorded my brother my brother and me quick quiz or It's before crammy for sure. It was the first week of December. Maybe it's been weeks since we recorded We're fired up. We're ready. We're excited to welcome 2022 yes, which we're not gonna have to call it that much longer because we're about to we're about to pick our annual theme This is an episode that I look forward to this is a if you haven't listened before This is a great episode to get people started with is it sure sure I love this podcast These guys do a half hour of clumsy wordplay at the beginning of every episode Fight about nothing and then there to talk about McDonald's. Let's just start it off. Yes 20 didgeridoo

20 didgeridoo. Well, no, let's let's start it off by and this is this is also tradition going through. Oh, yes Yes, yes, yes, yes 2010 2010 Zolo, of course meaningless correct 2011 2000 and heaven get right with Christ Then we had 20 does getting it a simple we've it's it's so rudimentary I love how like it's simple we started with it. Yeah before a pallet expanded 20 dirt dig it up get it out That is of course 2013

2014 20 forward sounds like a I don't know like a we really played fast and loose Yeah, with the idea. I think we've we've like We've grown on it really codified in 2015. Okay, 2015 was 20 grifting the con is on that was the best, right? We're not gonna top that. Well, you know what else I was reflecting on a challenge is that the years in the first decade We did this oh The first decade we did this the sounds are all the same. Yeah, I was returning to a lot of Established themes this year trying to find more rhymes for 20. Yeah, but okay Then we had 2016 building bridges. We look back on that one pretty shamefully

Might be the biggest ironic one we've ever been grifting that would have been Fix some shit 20 serpentine keep them guessing zag on them very good very good collaborate teams stronger together I feel like we had a lot of sort of so-so ones until we hit 2019 Which was Frankenstein team become the monster, right? That was that one might be the most Potent I think that we had that was a powerful one. That was a good one 20 funny fill your life with laughter and love Which then became 20 honey down to business That's right. Oh, that's right. That's one of the few like slash years that we yeah And then we had of course last year 20 20 big dog run. No boats about it. Fuck that was a good naming last year's naming

Episode was a good one. I don't know that we're gonna top it this time, but that that's that's that's that is what we've done So far how many names do you guys have in front of you that you cooked up? 45678 Okay, I have five. That's wow. That's a lot. Okay. Okay. This is also. I'm just gonna I'm 38 now When we started naming years, of course, I was 25 now I'm 38 a lot of these are bad I'm just gonna man right off my head a lot of these are just thought generators thought starters, yeah So I want to throw out kind of a a big conceptual one that I don't think will necessarily

Merit further consideration, but I was excited about it 2222 deuces are wild and what this is it reimagines a future where we've been hurtled 200 years into the future, okay, right? Because we're not gonna make it there obs 2222 now. Hold on. Do you mean just us just us just us the plan? I'll make it plan. I'll make it out. We're here. I might make it. You don't know two two two two deuces are wild I think if it's just deuces wild. I think it deuces wild. Yeah, okay I like deuces wild because the year that we are currently in not 200 years in the future does have a Considerable number of twos in it, right

Not all the twos it could have to Justin's point I mean, yeah, I understand time travel would be a big conceptual thing bad I'm embarrassed to this one and I don't want to talk about Travis I'll let me let me sort of traffic cop this a little bit until we sort of get our rhythm Travis give me Travis do Three in a row of your worst ones real quick just so the audience doesn't have that sort of Damocles hanging over there Okay, okay 20 who-who let's learn about owls not even not even not even next Just go 20 who-dee who let's learn about outcast They're good. That's a parry. They're good

Next I'm not even gonna put these on the Google Doc, but keep on rocking a roll a third 20 boppy boo be the magic you're so you're not even you have it a shoe 20 as a rhyming I told you they're not good, but yeah, but I could say like Carl Carl Daniels Hold on wait Justin's just in right introduce a really powerful concept that I want to stop and make sure we take a beat Okay, and that is that are we have we been? hamstringing ourselves by Needing to rhyme and also not giving the year an

A real human name like Carl Daniels It would be powerful to be like fucking Carl Daniels Carl Daniels sucked or if we're being optimistic Man Carl Daniels was the best wasn't Carl like Carl turned it the fuck around for this nation of ours if I could say I Think oh my god to send jokes out of the room I think we do need to limit ourselves to the rhyme because it's one of the few things if we open the palette up that much Yeah, never saw will never crack this. I think there were restrictions Make it important people there's so few things that people can rely on anymore I think they need to rely on a on a rhyming year theme that would be my argument

Okay, instead of it being just one last thing though instead of it naming the year Carl Daniels Can we make it possessive and just make it Carl Daniels's kick-ass year? And then all the Carl Daniels is out there Just know that like this is gonna be like they're gonna find a 20 on the street every day Well, what if we make it a rhyming year, but the tagline is a good year for Carl's a Great year for a great girl a great. It was a good year for Carl's and make it retrospective right out the gate I'm gonna go ahead and keep suggesting this every and it will be relevant every year this decade to just do 20 Cummys to I

Hate it and I haven't I still haven't learned really what that word means aside from like context clues that it does involve Do we let Travis do one more bad one just to get started Travis? Travis, why don't you get our are all eight of yours bad? You got there's one that I really like and it would be a Kind of a different direction for our for our year Let's have one that we can really step on 20 whoop-de-doo who cares no Justin no, I don't like the nihilism of that. No, no, no, but let's but let's fucking cross examine it Don't just you're right. Okay. You're right. You're right. You're right 20 do who gives a shit. Oh, I like that better

Yeah, who gives a shit we've we've given the years in the past powerful powerful Dragon shouts, I would say yes of mottos and names and what fucking good is it done so far, right? Correct like we Certainly we look to big dog run and we think like we could be I could be stronger, but at the end of the day, you know Omicron don't care Omicron wasn't like whoa look at all these big dogs. Let's get out of here if we If we if we like don't necessarily look at the year We don't quantum lock it. Is it possible that we could have like the end would justify the means a little bit

Interesting that 20 big dog run was our most stationary year both Physically and I would argue professionally. Yeah, real emotionally Psychically, yeah, just keeping it between the navigational beacons, you know I'm trying to stay on course what I also like about it is you could treat it like a genuine question 20. What do you do? Who cares I I do I care I care I'll answer that call Okay, I want to I want to Put it on the kids. Well, you know, it's on there. It's on there Travis. You're not in this Google Doc So I don't know what the fuck you're doing right now. That's more important than I'm listening and paying attention

Yeah, so where is where is the Google Doc? I shared it with you to your My email email. Okay. I'm in it. Okay I'm gonna throw one of my one of my better options. All right. Let's have it. Okay 20 yummy stew Something's cooking. How yummy stew something's cooking What I like my argument for this is one fun to say yeah yummy stew something's cooking I like there's an exclamation I put an exclamation point in in the notes just because like phonetically like it felt like you were kind of excited But I do like having a punctuation. I see the thing is

You can delete the punctuation. Oh, and then it removes Pressure what I like about this is like we can get to the end of the year and like nothing has happened But it's like I don't know Yeah, it's definitely it's definitely I in apostrophe I won't accept that G something's cooking something's cooking now Can you make it a question and make it 20 yummy stew? What's cooking? I'm like making and that's so that it's a little more interactive a little more actionable. That's my word because if You know due to climate change if wildfires continue to be the sort of clear and present threat

They were in previous years. I think that that that would be important So then I guess you're also against 20 yummy stew. What's cooking good-looking is that too much? Yeah, I don't want to harass people without the name of the year I that's fair like the only problem with this Justin is that in the last let's say six years. I If there has not been an event that has been sort of a slow building Moment that has been a good thing that we're all wicked looking forward to do you know what I mean? It's not like oh man There's a sinkhole. That's very very slowly opening up

Somewhere in South America and it's very slowly consuming this community. But what's that coming out of it? It's Tastations and they're back like there hasn't been a thing that's like some pretty sure Tastations are back Something's cooking now. Can we go in a different direction? We're screams. They wish you're back dreams. Thank you Thank you. Yeah, we're stew is a sort of You know mixed up bag of of ingredients. Is there something like 20 yummy stew? Toss a toss in it together toss an onion toss your stuff in I don't think we need I like people to sort of read their own context into it beyond the sort of like Basic setting of expectations. I feel like that's that's what what do you what do you do?

What do you do with something's cooking? Right where I think something's cooking, you know, if it needs to be acted Travis is saying there needs to be an act It's this is an observation. We need a like Let me tell you a text it up. What about 20 yummy stew mix it up. Well, I've got I've got a tagline I'm pretty excited about 20 yummy stew put it in the pot Huh, okay. What would that be? What do you what you have what you've got put it in the pot? 20 yummy stew let it simmer

Let it simmer is again. Like I don't that's a very passive Thing put it in the pot. Take what what does that mean? Take you take I'm trying to we're talking about it Instead of asking just just turn that bro that beautiful thinking brain on put it in the pot What do you have you have something special? I have something special Put it in. Oh, it's a stone soup scenario. It's a stone soup situation Stone soup now I get it. So we're all adding something put it in the pot. I just like the bottom sound put it in the pot Don't like that thing don't be embarrassed about that thing that you have That idea put it in the pot. Let's see what happens. Maybe it'll be good. Maybe it won't 20 yummy stew

Okay, uh, trap do you have another one that you'd like to offer Griffin Coming through my head cuz I've I was I was thinking is it about Tommy's again. It's not about Cummys this time But I will sorry I will add 20 Cummys. No And it was it's it's it's a different one. So here it is. So just hang on you ready 2020 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 Try that out try that on your side. I thought that was a buildup No, the the name of the area is 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 Try it written some down

We have so few rules and conventions great Should have written some down, but you should try saying it out loud because it sounds it feels good 20 20 20 20 It does get me pumped. Yeah, but I I have had to institute a we don't chant for things rule in my house See it would be a little bit hypocritical It'd be a little bit hypocritical because of how often my two children instigate each other into pounding the table to ask for candy or whatever And this feels a little bit Insightful like How about okay 20 funny shoes 20 funny shoes they don't got a match all the time right?

I'm trying to think of something shoes and odd 20 funny shoes and odd pairing Something different like That would be cool if like in past years We've been like believe in yourself or work with others or build those bridges and then this you were like where different shoes You can do this nice you can do shoes not match And then that would be great because then you would see somebody on the street with not matching shoes You'd be like that asshole listens to my brother and my brother and me. Yeah, that's like an international sign of Just wish we could monetize it. That's the problem. We don't sell shoes. You know, that's not yet. Not yet

Okay, listen to this. All right 20 venti brew. Oh that Java Oh 20 venti brew. Oh that Java when you say it you have this way of saying them afterwards. It really sucks the fucking air out Let me try it again, and you listen and imagine I came up with it and not you okay Oh that Java it was fun to say like that. Yeah, that's pretty good fun to say but This is what I like maybe this year. I could just get bigger coffees. Maybe that's what we've been missing. That's pretty good What about I don't like how Starbucks is kind of co-opted the venti thing like I

Hate from wait from you when you guys go to Starbucks. I say large large right a large a large. Yeah, like a human What about yeah, well, we just kind of brew no blue blue right past I feel like it's on there and we'll circle back to it. Justin. I don't want to spend too much time on it Really, I like to brew brew brew as a brew as a verb. I could get into yeah I'm about venti and having it be like a witch's brew or like I guess we are getting back to something's cooking or put it Yeah, that's true. What about 20 skies of blue anything's possible Whoa, I like that actually skies of though Skies skies of blue is interesting because one

Wow, what a what a Incredible this you are opening up the possibility space for us to fail even more power. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I have two options and it's either whoop-de-doo who cares or skies of blue anything's possible I only have two settings Justin I see that you didn't add the 20 skies of blue anything's possible to the list. He'll add it It's a good one. I just don't one I don't know why I'm adding all of the things cuz you started you didn't come up with any numbers Because you didn't come up with any names of or hands. This is your contribution is secretary

You're our stenographer. There you go Minutes, let me hit you with this. I don't have a tagline for it, but it seems like it's ripe for for for any tagline I could want to put on 20 coming through Clear the clear the way 20 coming through Emerge into your path emerge into your power Part part 20 coming through emerge. Oh shit. That's good. That's pretty good. I like that Imagine that on like a big

Like a big projector a big a big big was the one of those things called that you put on the lights to make a gobo I'll gobo a big gobo that just says immerge Oh That's powerful shit 20 coming through emerge. I really like yeah, that's really doing me right This is the episode by the way most of the ones that we of the episodes we recorded in a given year the one where like my Let's not accidentally make a cult like radar is up Cuz I don't want to I did just imagine a crowd full of people. This is by the way after we whip this COVID shit Just in an auditorium and the three of us and in some reads it for some reason

We're dressed in all white and our shoes don't match and there's a big sign behind us It says emerge and I think Against my rules everybody's chanting To the outside observer we have made a Cult for sure at that for sure for sure for sure for sure I also want to take a moment to celebrate us Because in making this procedure public. Yeah, we open ourselves up to I mean literally every year Multiple people telling us they wish that they they wish we had done some one of the other things that we talked about

Oh, and sometimes even suggesting Other things we didn't say we did not open them out. This is interesting in previous years. We have opened it up to Suggestions and this is just us this time I did not I did not consult the crowd in our audience We didn't need to plenty people emailed them in and tweaked. Yeah, I would say also in our defense We have never gone with the audience suggestion for for this because That's a little too important decision. I would say trade mark. Yeah, that's a big. Thank you. Yeah Otherwise, you're not gonna get classics like this. Yeah, like 20 runny goo. No, no, I was gonna wait

You're not gonna get classics like this 20 Sun tea view porch life 20 Sun Sun TV you're holding the Sun tea right right this is your view from the porch and you got a Sun tea view porch life Now I think the one problem with that jessons. I don't know that any problem I don't think any human being has ever said look at this Sun tea

Um, what is is is is Sun tea? I don't drink tea. What is Sun tea? Sun tea is where you just make slow tea in the Sun. You let the Sun heat up in your So it's not a thing then right? No, what's a thing? What do you mean it's not a thing? Sun tea Yes, everybody put a tea bag in the thing or you put multiple tea bags in a picture and you put it in the Sun Oh, you're right. You're right. You're right in the Sun. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. You just google it Yeah, I googled it. I'm sorry. Where's the trust? You know um

man Is there something with kazoo? No banjo kazoo banjo 20 kazoo That was a really good banjo 20 scooby-doo No All right, okay

Is it is at the time in the episode where we take a step away and say What do we want to embody? This this this what have we put up all our suggestions? No, no, no, no I think I think this will be this will help. Um, you know spread a little fertilizer Around on the on the feet. It is important to me kidding aside. It is important to me that It be somewhat either motivational or aspirational Yes, in a way that gets you pumped for this year because I don't want I don't

Everybody like this is one of the years of your life, right? You don't want to write assign it to Negativity this early you will get there for sure But you got to start fresh But let me add that let me add this because I agree with you I do agree with you But is there a way that we can embody because in the past I feel like we've embodied Like a naive kind of hope and that is there a way now that we're doing like a this is a mature This is a uh

It's still there, right? This is hope for sure, but this is a cautious powerful hope. You know what I mean? That's that's that's interesting travis because I would say a weakness of It is skipping 2020 which I think we can all agree that year's motto Both of them were complete fuck ups. Yes. Um 2019 and 2021 we have become the monster and big dog run like those are both very strong But it was also like get the most powerful Yes and aggro and that like I don't necessarily think that's us There are very few times in my life where I'm like, let's work on the monster, baby because I'm

We are we are Meeker than that. I would say Um two two-thirds of us definitely are yeah, so instead of it being like Let's go baby Have it be like maybe don't be so timid Maybe don't be as timid as you usually are and and take a take a shot. You know Like not that it not like get it and win the game, but like get in the game Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think that's something new

20 something new It's just not it's not it's not specific. There's not enough specificity to it. I think let me let me hit you guys Yeah, okay, because I've been saving it. This isn't my last one. Oh fuck when it came to me. I was like Oh, okay. I'm uh like that. Okay This is and but this is so exciting because this could either be the moment where Justin says the thing that like in Well, I have one more Justin. Do you want me to do these two years? Okay 20 looky loo on the horizon I Don't like the phonetics of looking loo makes me feel bad. Okay. Okay. I don't like saying something

Yeah, um Did you guys watch that Beatles documentary because it's dope because they'd just be like noodling like scooby-dee-bop-bop-bop-bop Hey, is this anything? No, that's not anything. What about this get back to where you want and it's like oh, fuck you guys just wrote get back That's the moment we're at right now when Justin's about to say the thing. Yeah, it's like his get back Okay 20 mummy crew back from the dead, huh? What this is about is two things okay one

Back from the dead. Yes. Okay. Yeah, we have been we have been defeated. Yeah. Well fair, right? We've been ground down to a to a paste. Yeah But it's also about so it's about coming back from that but it's also about community Because you look at you look at anybody else that's with you. They're a mummy too. You're in the mummy crew. What about 20 mummy too? 20 mummy crew back from the dead I 20 month the idea of mummy crew obviously just it is One of the best things you've ever sort of generated one of the one of the best pieces of content

You're there with your two children who I love very much. Do you know what I mean? 20 mummy crew the idea of us instead of calling our audience mabimbambinos or You know mabimbamb nation the idea of them just being the mummy crew. Yeah is so fucking strong I tell you I don't like having the word dead in the motto Uh, because that feels like that we're back from the dead. Yeah, right? Not why but I do think that there's something Maybe it's 20 mummy crew rise again Or 20 mummy crew straight out the tomb

So is that better better than dead? 20 mummy crew arise my love Um 20 mummy crew sarcophagi it If we already hadn't already done getting it I would yeah I do love by the way the juxtaposition of me saying maybe tone it down to a more reasonable Let's not be so timid thing and then Justin was like aliyup 20 mummy crew rise from the dead back from the dead it feels uh Also juice can I tell you a genuine concern of mine?

And this is something I had a few ideas that I immediately shot down on my head. It feels a little bit like the um post Malone Jaegermeister commercial where he's like back at the bar and it's empty and the bartender's like it's empty because of Covid but then he's like Dummy we're better now and he walks out in the street with a bottle of Jaegermeister and then like the place is packed and he's like We worked hard for this. Let's celebrate and then it's like a month later. It's like uh, oh No, don't I worry about it being like 20 rise from the dead baby

It's back go buy a toyota truck toyota nation because we are here and we've waited long enough Okay, okay. Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait on along those lines 20 mummy crew lying in wait Right because the mummies they are way too passive way too passive way too But I I want something that says like we're not doing it now, but we oh moments notice You know what I mean? That's that if you want that Then get 20 yummy stew something's cooking Mmm. That's can we do 20 mummy crew so this cookin 20 mummy stew 20 mummy

I feel like of the things that we have I feel like I love the tagline put it in the pot a lot I like the idea. I like the concept of mummies though It is it is equivalent in my mind to like don't hide your light under a bushel Put it put it out there and let it become better By becoming more fragrant and and mixing around with the other stuff To me that and maybe we're getting maybe that's trending a little too close to collaborating um

But even put it in the pot feels a little bit more achievable than go find a collaborator So 20 mummy stew 20 mummy stew put it in the pot 20 mummy crew together we rise That feels again, we're getting close to like a presidential campaign Well for mummies. I have been waiting to announce 20 mummy crew pyramid dreams. Is there anything? God we're getting into in the cult territory again. I feel like if we start like leaning into pyramids like symbology and shit 20 mummy crew under wraps. No 20 mummy crew wrap it up. It's about safe sex

I think if you don't I here's what I would say if you don't have something about resurrection in there then mummy cruised Sounds very strange. Yeah, I guess so Um Oh shit What if guys What if we get really really focused

Okay on Bringing back Brennan Frasier's the mummy series And so 20 mummy crew is us Really pounding the pavement To get Brennan Frasier's the mummy for yeah

Yeah, it would be the fourth mummy off the off the ground. You have to not count the tom cruise mummy No, of course, I don't count the fucking and we're bringing back Rachel vice. I don't care Rachel vice Rachel vice Now jesson you say it's unattainable But I would argue that it is more attainable than us all becoming big dogs. I think if Brennan Frasier I think if Rachel vice here's a knock at the door and she opens it and Brennan Frasier standing there She puts on her coat

And walks outside and follows him. No like no words exchanged. Just like correct. Yep. It's fine. It's time I don't I don't I don't want to do this. You don't want to bring back No, I don't want to bring this is going to be the one doing a lot of great work in a lot of different fields Yeah, so so good disrupt him in doom squad now. Here's the thing jesson I want you to just brace yourself that this is going to be the one that everyone is going to be like I can't believe you guys didn't commit to bringing back the mummy The original I don't think so because most people we are I would the funny thing about that is we are 100 million light years from having the juice to get that done a hundred percent

It's not even close and most of our listeners are probably even more Unable to bring back the mummy. I think everybody working together and you know what the other problem with that is Even if we do it doesn't benefit us. Well, no, okay. You know, first of all jesson I've watched the mummy all you guys do to bring back the mummy Is like just disrupt the tomb or some shit, right? And then the movie mostly the mummy brings itself back Yeah, what about okay 20 mummy crew a nox on a moon. What do you think is that anything? Is that like a spell?

No, that was the name of the woman. Can't be bad ass to have a spell in our year slogan. Hmm. That like makes a magical thing You know, you just said 20 20 viewers queue. Let's meet Kevin Smith. That's that's attainable. That's fun I feel like travis said something not realizing the power inside of his incantation And that was disrupt the tomb Oh 20 mummy crew disrupt the tomb the idea of like of of Taking the

these sacred You know idols shaking them up a little bit disrupt the tomb Let's try something now. There is a lot of colonialism There is a huge It's unthinkable Unthinkable that you wouldn't even suggest it wait. We're canceled mid-point. I don't know anybody published No, it's NBC guys. They canceled us again. Whoop whoop. All right. Don't disrupt the tomb 20 mummy crew

20 buried with cats 20 running Running is something running is a word that could potentially go in there I mean 20 running crew. That's nothing 20 running shoe 20 running shoe guys it you guys feel like we're in the weeds right now. This is where I feel like our power lies Is is is deep in the trash heap when we just 20 cunning shrew

What like a cunning shrew it's okay. Justin. This is part of the process. This is how we get to big dog run You know what I mean like Wait, what about 20 mummy crew emerge emerge escape the grave 20 mummy crew shape the grave It'd be tough if we just like had a year of unabashed hedonism 20 mummy crew death is only the beginning Oh man Maybe we should go to the money zone just as like a palette cleanser

And and when we come back have sort of fresh eyes Yeah, and then we'll read them again. This will be the whole okay great Great actually that's actually a great idea Because I'm looking at this list guys and it's maybe our worst list ever But I think maybe we're just too close to it. I think we're way too close to it Bombas Boom watch your language. It's right there bombas The mission is simple make the most comfortable clothes ever and match every item sold

So when you buy bombas you are also giving to someone who's in need You guys I'm wearing bombast socks right now. Whoa. Yeah, you too. What? Yep, you could tell because of how comfortable I am. I'm not wearing socks because I stepped in something wet earlier Had to take the wet sock off. Oh man. That's the worst Did you know what the wetness was griffin or was it mystery wet?

Maybe it's just 20 rendezvous a walk to remember No rendezvous

I like the class the night to remember brings it also sounds like we're picking a prom thing Yeah, which is very fucking to me enchantment in the evening 20 rendezvous au chanté 20 too hard to spell.

Is the thing that goes after them? Yeah, not not the year right? 20 mummy is 20 mummy crew too close to frankenstein team I I'm actually this is part of In the iconography this does worry me because we did a lot of monster. We did do a ton of monster imagery But they didn't sit they weren't like oh, we've already got boo berry. Can we do count chocolate? I'm actually liking 20 rendezvous more because it's like it's got like a sort of a sexy adult energy. Yes, never really done that before Fuck it would be funny to just have a prom theme Thank you and not have it be aspirational at all

But just have it be like the vibe of the year Can we do that? Can we define the vibe of the year and not necessarily the objective? Sort of like you're saying like a tonal a tonal motto and not 20 rendezvous a night in paradise because here's the thing when we tell people what to do it one doesn't do anything Materially to improve their lives or two. They don't fucking do it. Yeah How many monsters do you think came out of 2019? I not a lot? I would say but if we say 20 rendezvous a night to remember And then somebody it just has that energy in the in the ecosystem

That could do something. It's I I think 20 rendezvous is it I think what's jazzed it right now to find the right tagline because I just don't think a night to remember is it Okay Okay, listen the etymology If we can talk etymology sure sure sure may we It comes from the french.
