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 mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? One, two, three, four! It's the start of something beautiful A small acquaintance has blossomed It's ripened into a precious friendship I could've never seen what was coming for me Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach
Starting point is 00:00:39 My life, it feels like it's better. It's better with you. It's better. It's better with you. This is true. It's better. It's better with two. My life.
Starting point is 00:00:56 It's better with you. Hello again. I'm the singer. I'm the singer. I'm the singer. I'm the singer. I'm the singer. I'm the singer.
Starting point is 00:01:04 I'm the singer. I'm the singer. I'm the singer. I'm the singer. I'm the singer. It's better, it's better with two. But hey, ah, it's better with you. Hello everybody, welcome to My Brother, My Brother, made advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. What's up, Trav Nation? I'm your middle-est brother, big dog, woof woof, Travis McElroy. I'm your sheep, baby, Barry Griffin, Trav Nation. Hi, how's it going?
Starting point is 00:01:23 Guys, tighten it up. We got to tighten it up, guys, precision. Okay. Every second counts. If we're gonna get this podcast to Michelin star, I've got some non-negotiables here that I need us to work on. And I know what to say.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Yeah, run me through some of it. Like, what do you think? Because I thought I was operating at max efficiency already, but if you have some notes, I would love to hear them. We put in a lot of words that we don't need. I think that we could tighten each episode up to 15 minutes. Okay. If we focused up. Are you, do you mean like say less shit that isn't funny,
Starting point is 00:01:54 or do you mean like start, let's start dropping, you know, conjunctions and- Yes. Okay. See what I did there? Do you see what I did there? Yes. Where I just said yes, right?
Starting point is 00:02:05 And you knew what I meant without me having to clarify. So you want a lot more of like good and nice. Snappy. Yes, and if we could start saying yes host and when someone says something, like if we're like, let's move on to another question and then we say yes host. Okay, I guess my only problem with that.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Like a tighter ship. My only problem with that, well, sorry, I was gonna go into it, but yes. Right, thank you, see, perfect. I had a lot to say, because of how bad an idea that is, since the show is just us talking to each other. So it would, at that point, I think,
Starting point is 00:02:35 be twice as long and half yes hosts. And so like it kind of contradicts your first point completely, but instead of that, I will just say, cool. I also just want to say, and I don't mean to call you out Griffin, but you need to put the forks down straighter. I've noticed you often have the forks at a slight angle,
Starting point is 00:02:53 and I think that's something the Michelin hosts are gonna, the Michelin judges are gonna notice. Yeah, not a lot of people know this, but I eat a lot of different courses of food every time that we record. I know I always get on you guys for not eating on the show, but like every episode I do have a little salad and I do do a little trash can nachos,
Starting point is 00:03:13 but I eat it with a fork. That's sort of my style. Okay, so I've been reading up on the Michelin Star Guide to try to figure out if there's some kind of loophole we can use here. So looking through the Q&A, here's some things in our favor, okay? Number one, is the decoration slash style of restaurant
Starting point is 00:03:36 a factor in awarding a star? No, that's very good for us. We do so little of that. We don't have any of that. Now here is the one that I would like to stop at here. They says, do you have to be a formal restaurant to get a star? Like, do you have to be a fancy place?
Starting point is 00:03:58 But I would like to take a different rate on the question. Okay. A traditional- Do you have to be a formal, legal, like by any stretch of the definition, restaurant? You have to be a formal restaurant. One time we did a candle night show in Austin where we dispensed cookies and little cups of eggnog.
Starting point is 00:04:19 So I think that if, we are outside the bun of what one would call a restaurant, but we have served food on a professional level. If once a year one of us makes a grilled cheese sandwich and sends it to a listener, once a year, one grilled cheese sandwich, does that fit the definition? I don't know that I necessarily wanna get
Starting point is 00:04:44 my own Gold Belly operation happening in this house. I make it. Don't get me wrong. My grilled cheese game is so fucking on point, but I don't want to shoulder the burden of does it get yucky viruses on it in the UPS bag that I send it in. Oh, it's not the E. This is pretty, this is pretty cheeky. Oh, it's not to eat. It's to experience. This is pretty cheeky, some of the Q&A here. They asked, do you also take into consideration the wine list?
Starting point is 00:05:13 Restaurants that are serious about their food tend to also ensure that they have an interesting wine list to complement it, so that element usually takes care of itself. So yes or no? Give us the answer, Mitch. Can you answer the fucking question? What if I don't want to serve wine?
Starting point is 00:05:29 Because I hate grapes. Here's what I'm thinking. Or I'm using them in my food. Here's what I'm thinking. Here's my plan. Okay. So definitely we're going to get dinged on food and like decoration and like the cook. No, we won't get dinged on decoration.
Starting point is 00:05:42 We won't get dinged on decoration. I can't make that more clear. We're going to get dinged though on like meals and food and cook is though. No, we won't get ding on decoration. I can't make that more clear. We're gonna get ding though on like meals and food and stuff like that. The plate elements. Everything as far as like the food side of it goes at like table and like service. So hospitality I think is where we're gonna show.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Well, and also sort of again, just to, and I don't wanna cut the legs out from under us, but just like extant, physical, space one, occupies with their body, tangible, like tangible anything. That's gonna hurt, obviously. Obviously that's gonna hurt. But in this day and age, Griffin, people are doing a lot with revolutionizing
Starting point is 00:06:20 what a restaurant is. Think about molecular gastronomy. Are there restaurants where they go in and all the lights are off and the servers are where my food should be? I keep getting that fucking ad on my Facebook that's like, you gotta try dining in the dark. It opens up your other senses when you can't see the food.
Starting point is 00:06:33 And it's like, nice try Johnny Knoxville. Gonna try to sneak a big hot stinky pepper onto my plate when I'm not looking, huh? Good joke, good joke, Steve-o. So now we're gonna do, here's what I'm thinking, audio food. All right. We will describe the food we would have made.
Starting point is 00:06:51 All right. And then the Michelin judges or whatever will be like, that does sound fucking good, here's your star. Okay, let me try. Here's your star. I'll start things off, hosts, with this amuse bouche. It's the fanciest food you can get. I'll start things off, hosts, with this amuse bouche. It's the fanciest food you can get. It's a little slice up piece of fish
Starting point is 00:07:11 in some sort of yellow liquid. And then there's- What kind of fish? It's pink with stripes on it. So the good kind that let you know how good it is. It's in a little bit of yellow juice. Nice. And that is gonna taste good.
Starting point is 00:07:28 But then what's that on top of the fish? It's a little drizzle of dark green juice. Bon appetit. It's fish with yellow juice in a little bit of green juice. Enjoy. Host, can you add some texture please? I need some crunch or squish. The green juice is crunchy.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Okay, perfect, yes.'s there's bones in the fish But that's like natural like that's sustainable and natural Okay, and it's a story about bone. It's a story about bones I'm having I'm having a terrible realization as Griffin details his mystery dish If the Michelin people are going to start giving Michelin stars to podcasts, they are going to start with Off Menu. They will get the Michelin star for podcasts first.
Starting point is 00:08:13 So like we're not even the most Michelin star worthy podcast. Exactly. Like there's many others. But describing food that exists though, Justin, Off Menu is like here's food that I've had before They are describing food that exists though, Justin. Off Menu is like, here's food that I've had before, here's food that I like. We're making up new food
Starting point is 00:08:32 from our whimsical comedy imagination. You're making our point for us, because Off Menu is the mean Joel McHale restaurant. Where, look around you dude, a family operated, we are DeBeer. And so we family operated, we are DeBeer. And so we do have, we're DeBeer. And so the ball's actually in our court. Now, Justin, could you describe the appetizer, please?
Starting point is 00:08:54 The starting? Mine was a pre appetizer. Yeah, the amuse bouche starts the bouche. Right, but now bring that bouche on home, baby. Yeah, come on, warm that bouche up. Rub that bouche hard. Rub that bouche. So, baby. Yeah, come on, warm that bouche up. Rub that bouche hard. Rub that bouche. So now I wanna massage the tongue.
Starting point is 00:09:08 With a, have you heard of a sugar scrub? Yeah? This is a Pop Rocks scrub that I've made in a little jar. And I mixed it up with coconut oil and different flavorings that I had at home. Did you say flavorings and different flavorings that I had at home. Did you say flavorings? Flavorings that I had at home and I put it on a macaron. And as you eat it, it's gonna exfoliate the tongue
Starting point is 00:09:34 and prepare you for what's to come. So every, the first food that those tongue cells touch, yeah, Right there. It's gonna taste so fucked up. This is great because too often people get hung up on amusing the bouche. I like that Justin is now like reinvigorating it. We amused it.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Excoriating. Now we're exfoliating the bouche. I'm gonna punish the bouche. Punish the bouche. Punish my bouche, chef. My bitch daddy. I'm gonna punish the bouche. What's that?
Starting point is 00:10:04 What's your main? Why, it's the chicken carcass. Punish my bitch daddy. What's that, what's your main? Why, it's the chicken carcass. We've removed the meat, and normally you'd serve that. Oh wow. But this is just the skeleton, but all the aromas of the meal are there. Right. So when it comes out, you're gonna be like, wait, where, oh it smells like it.
Starting point is 00:10:20 And then I'm gonna say, in a different universe, you already ate it. You ate it in the universe next to ours, that you ate the chicken. And so this universe, you gets the bones. And for our main course this evening here at Demacroise de Beers, we are proud to present to you the dried up turkey from Christmas Vacation,
Starting point is 00:10:41 that when you cut it open, it makes a big loud poof noise and immediately desiccates itself. There will be no eating it. from Christmas vacation, that when you cut it open, it makes a big loud poof noise and immediately desiccates itself. There will be no eating it, it will be funny, and also Chevy Chase is here. And maybe you should have gotten here 10 minutes earlier. For dessert, I will be eating an unripe strawberry as slowly as possible in front of you.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Cool. And you can only imagine the flavors that I will be experiencing. And I'll try to communicate it as best I can through modes. And to finish it off, a mediocre cup of coffee and then after dinner mint, nothing wrong with that. It's a lot of earth in, why fix it, you know, ain't broke. You can have that and the valet scratched your car.
Starting point is 00:11:23 So, enjoy your night. But that's part of the story. That goes back, that's a call back to the bones story of the fish dish that you started things. It's all bookended. And it's gonna take 30 minutes to get your check. We're pretty busy. We are busy at this moment.
Starting point is 00:11:38 And we know you have a babysitter waiting and we are sorry about that. Now, I also know the Michelin star system is based around whether you, it's like one star is worth a walk, two is worth a drive, three is worth a flight. And so what I think we need to start doing is just recording this show and putting it on a flash drive.
Starting point is 00:11:55 And it's like a flash drive on a big pole in the middle of the city. And then you have a place that you have to come to to get it, to jack in. I'm also willing, I'm willing to start with a quarter of a star and work up. If Michelin wants to give us a quarter of a star for like worth picking up your phone, right?
Starting point is 00:12:13 Like I'll take that, you know what I mean? Just start somewhere. Yeah, start with quarter of a star and we'll work our way up, see how we improve our shit over time. Yeah, no problem. Yeah, I mean, Michelin, you know what I mean? What's it gonna take? And hey, are you all not doing tires now,
Starting point is 00:12:28 or I wanted to ask. What's the fucking deal, guys? Are you all, do you not even talk to the tires guys? Are they completely over there, and you're completely over here with the sword? If you buy the guide, it in the back, there is a small section of the best tires to eat. People don't check that one as much.
Starting point is 00:12:46 How about this, Michelin? Give our podcast two Michelin stars. I'm gonna take it one step further. Or else we're gonna start our own tires rating guide. And we are gonna be so fucking mean to you. We're gonna be talking all about how great tires, tire stone, or perhaps fire stone tires is. But it should be tires.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Perhaps tire stone. Maybe tire stone. Tire stone, fire stone. We're gonna be talking Goodyear. We're gonna be talking about Road Blaster. We're gonna be talking about Turbo Grip. And we're gonna be talking mad shit about Michelin. These things are square.
Starting point is 00:13:23 These wheels are triangular, no stars. They're full of marbles. You'll hear it the whole time. My workplace's break room has had an unlabeled tin can of food out on the table for several weeks now. Nobody I've asked knows what or whose it is. I wanna know what is in this mystery can. Brothers, at what point is it okay to consider
Starting point is 00:13:46 the can forfeit and open it to feed my curiosity? That's from Can Curious in Washington. P.S. the best buy date is September 1st, 2024. Okay, great, we have some Michael room here. You have lots, those are made up by the government. Well, within reason. I would say for, I agree with you sometimes, I'd say for Cannes stuff,
Starting point is 00:14:09 I bet they know what they're talking about. Right? Yeah, I, you would think, right? Best Buy does imply that there's a peak, right? Where it's like, oh, and now we're going down the other side, right? It's not a fear drop off, and I appreciate that. It's a day new mall.
Starting point is 00:14:23 But within reason. Let's talk about that for a second. So I make peace. I don't know when they expire, nobody does. Right? I gotta do something. So I put on there 2035. Okay, that's it, 2035.
Starting point is 00:14:39 If they eat it before 2035, Not good. And they get sick, they're gonna be like, Well, it wasn't the fucking peas. Should've pushed it. Oh, okay. No, I'm saying like, they eat the peas, they get sick, they start thinking back, well, the peas were fine.
Starting point is 00:14:53 The peas were fine. They don't taste like the same. I'm realizing these are best by dates and not best on dates, where it's like, you wanna really, eat these peas if you're hungry, but if you want the real fucking show, if you wanna step up to the big show, you gotta age these things, 11 years.
Starting point is 00:15:11 So I'm saying, I was just saying, put a long-awaited date on there, no one will ever blame you for it. There's a kick-ass solution to this, I feel like, but it carries with it a terrible cost. The kick-ass solution is, you buy another can of food. I assume you take the label off. I assume we're talking about an unlabeled can of food.
Starting point is 00:15:29 If not, I know a pretty great way to tell what's in the can. And it's whatever the picture of the food is on the label. But assuming there's no label, you buy your own can of food, rip the label off, Indiana Jones, switch it out. Now, I'm going to have to insist, no matter what we settle on here, you make a commitment to us and yourself and Jesus
Starting point is 00:15:49 that you're gonna eat whatever's in this can if you open it up. Yeah. Yeah. If you open it up, you have to eat what's in the can. You're eating this can. It could be shoe polish. It could be like coiled spring snakes that jump out at you and you have to eat them.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Fuck. Can I make it, can I have, I just had a great idea Question asker I had a great idea. Yes host Steal the can swap it out. Uh-huh. Let's get you live a McElroy family clubhouse Well open it up live streamed live open live and find out live What is in the can. Like Geraldo did.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Like Geraldo with Al Capone's Vault. Yeah. If you kids haven't seen that. You open the can, it's nothing. Go back and watch. There's this guy named Geraldo and he said he was gonna blow open Al Capone's Vault live on TV.
Starting point is 00:16:39 You could watch this live televised event. There's Jack in there, it's fantastic. Now here's the, I would make the argument, question asked, the can is forfeit. It's been sitting on the table for a while. Labeless, label-less. No one's gonna spin the dice on this one. So now you have the opportunity.
Starting point is 00:16:55 What you can't do is open it by yourself. Because then everybody's gonna be like, oh, what the, uh. So you have two options. You either make an event of it, everyone gather around, gather around, I'm gonna open the can. Or you start some kind of pool competition
Starting point is 00:17:12 where people are going to predict what they think is in the can and maybe kick in a few bucks. Winner gets it and the person that's farthest away, however you would judge it, has to eat what's in it. Yeah, that could be cool Now it's an event and an excuse to not do any work. It's a fun game people love Now you're gonna satisfy your curiosity and become an office hero. Can you buy a fancy new?
Starting point is 00:17:39 Electronic model of can opener and you bring it into the office one day and you're like, guys, check it out. I won this at a street carnival and it, they said it's a fancy can opener, but it looks crazy. Like where's even the opening part? Where's the knob? Where's the clamp? And they'll be like, yeah, I don't know. It doesn't make any sense to me. You'd be like, I got to test this out just to figure out like what it does. Anybody have anything? Anybody have anything? What could we, and I don't wanna use somebody's can that they just brought today
Starting point is 00:18:09 and they were excited to eat for lunch. A spare can that no one will miss. Yeah. Or, hey, here's an alternate version of that, Griffin. You come in one day, oh, you're having your big prize because you just won an auction, Gallagher's Real Sledge-o-matic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:26 And you're looking for the, yes, that's right. It went up for auction and you spent $10 million getting the real Sledge-o-matic and you're ready to test it on something. Here's what I'm gonna say, guys. You walk in tomorrow morning and you take a heavy duty chisel and you bury it in the top and you say fuck you guys you say it out loud
Starting point is 00:18:46 fuck you guys and then bury it in the top take it out up in the can right in your mouth yeah you stab it in the top and a little on the side you shotgun that bitch i guarantee no one as as applesauce drips down your face. Fucking nobody's gonna- Justin, canned applesauce is best case scenario. As fucking- Are you kidding me? As pearl onion juice- I was trying to hype up my plan. It could be oysters or some shit. 90-
Starting point is 00:19:15 Buffalo head nickels start falling out of it. 90% chance- If you have a 60% chance it's beans. It's definitely beans. I'm gonna say 99% chance it's the preservative juice of some vegetable, no matter what. Maybe fruit, if you're lucky, you get that good pineapple juice, but that's gonna be, might be corn.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Thank you, there's so many things you can put in a can. These things are fucking buckwild. I think corn is a good case. Is a good, like, just regular sweet corn, not creamed corn, nothing like that. Just regular sweet corn. Good cream corn, nothing like that, just regular sweet corn. Good job you won the roulette. If we're endorsing food waste,
Starting point is 00:19:51 I would say one cool option is become the type of person who like throws stuff around a lot, like in the office. Not in like an angry way, but in just like- Like when I get fired? Like walk up to someone's desk and like pick up their clog and be like, hey, how's it going guys? Good weekend? Just like a little like, a little toss of like stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Oh, a cheeky toss. You pull your phone out and you go, yeah, text sent. God, do you guys ever do that? Flip it around a few times and then you pitch it. Do you guys ever do that for real? Not even think about it and then beef it? God, it's the worst. No, I never do. Try to get a cool guy toss and then you miss it.
Starting point is 00:20:22 No, no, no. Ugh, I never missed it. Not for years, but. Cause I watched this kick-ass video of Neil DeGrasse Tyson, one time, where it's someone who's like, why don't you have a case on your phone? And he's like, because every time I buy a new phone, I just pick it up, and I get to know its weight in my hands,
Starting point is 00:20:36 and I flip it around and hold it, so I know every part of it, and then I'll never drop it. If I ever see that, dude. On- Catch him slipping. On sight. It's flipped right out of his, right out of his, just to see if he can kind of get it.
Starting point is 00:20:51 He's like, hey, let me teach you a lesson about gravity. Yeah. He drops it and it breaks and some points out and he just picks it up and tosses it to him, like that's yours now, keep your fucking mouth shut. He pulls a new phone out of his pocket. Anyway, become- This never Anyway, become the type of person who throws stuff around in a cool, casual way
Starting point is 00:21:09 in the office, but then for the can, you beef it. You beef it bad. Here's another question. I know how to read a map. When my partner drives and needs directions to our destination, I pull up directions on my phone, but I don't let Siri tell us the directions out loud over the car speakers because I can do it myself.
Starting point is 00:21:28 And the directions interrupt conversation, say the same thing over and over again, et cetera. In dozens of trips together, I've only given a bad direction, wrong exit number once. Still, my partner wants me to let Siri tell us the directions. How can I prove I'm better at navigation than Siri? That's from Wayfaring Fine in Florida. So here's my read on it.
Starting point is 00:21:50 It's not about you getting them wrong. It's that somebody telling you what to do when you're driving causes resent. Yeah. Right? It's a resentful action when someone is like, you're gonna turn left up here, right? Because especially if it's a long drive. Wait, sorry, did you mean a person or a cybernetic hypermind
Starting point is 00:22:10 designed to give you the best optimal directions? I'm saying a person. An updated life up to the second. I'm saying a person, a human being. Yes. Giving you, telling you like- Firm agree. Don't forget, hey, don't forget, it's up here, it's up here.
Starting point is 00:22:24 After like three hours of driving, you're like- Firm agree. Don't forget, hey, don't forget, it's up here. After like three hours of driving, you're like, I know, right? And whereas if the phone is doing it, if I'm getting mad at anyone, it's AI. It's a satellite or some shit, right? I don't get resentful, man. I need all the help I can get.
Starting point is 00:22:40 But you can't say it interrupts conversation when Siri talks, when you have to stop conversation to say the direction. Sometimes. That's a good point. Sometimes I'll use a map to get home on the like four minute drive I just took from my house. Just to like, like vibe, just to be able to vibe. Like when I'm driving, I'm also vibing.
Starting point is 00:23:03 And it's hard for me to vibe if I'm paying like super close attention. Yes. I also sometimes, if I'm like 10 minutes away from the house, I'll start thinking like, what do you think the best way to do this is? Yes. And I'll be like, ooh, I could save 30 seconds that way.
Starting point is 00:23:19 I'll have to check it out. Or it'll be like, you know, Route 60 will be faster, J-Man. I'm like, I know, but it's a little bit gritty. So I don't feel like driving on Route 60 today. It bums me out. Yeah. Like, okay, well fine, you can hit 64, no bigs. I look at it this way of if I have the option between wearing an incredibly comfortable pair of shoes
Starting point is 00:23:36 that I know I won't have to think about, or a kind of comfortable pair of shoes that might occasionally remind me they're there, why wouldn't I go with the incredibly comfortable pair of shoes that's gonna fade in the background? So the idea of like plugging directions into my phone and not having to think about it at all? Sure. Why wouldn't I choose that option? My perhaps imperfect solution for this is that I have my Apple Watch set up to deliver notifications from Google Maps.
Starting point is 00:24:07 And so I get a very subtle little boop right on my wrist when it's about time to do a big turn. The downside of that is while I'm driving on a long drive on the highway, I always forget that that's happening and I feel a vibration on my wrist and my brain misfires and is like, go, go, go, turn, turn, turn. And it scares me so, so bad like every single time. But I never get lost.
Starting point is 00:24:29 That's a you problem though, right? Like if you could have more of like a computer brain like they do. Oh, sure, sure. Then you just need to catch up to where computers are at. I think that's true of all of us. I think my problem with this as a driver is. Here he goes.
Starting point is 00:24:46 If I'm talking to the person in the passenger seat, I am really worried that they are going to be just spellbound. I mean, my fear is that I will be so captivating, like returning to themes, leitmotifs, like a lot of orationian tricks that I'm using to keep the listener around. They're always gonna be thinking like, I should remember this.
Starting point is 00:25:12 And that's like, this is important. Exactly, exactly, Griffin. Like if I'm writing it down, am I not paying close enough attention to the important things he's saying? It's like you see a beautiful sunset and your kids are playing in front of it, and you're like, I gotta remember this.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Like me talking is like the talking of that. And I really worry that, and if you're not, and if you are thinking about the directions, you're kind of failing yourself a little bit as a listener and as a student of life, you know? Cause Justin is just dropping the pearls at that point. They're going straight into the mud as the slimes step on him. And you're like, would 77 be the first? Listen to me, hear what I'm saying. We'll end up where we end up. I'm saying that it's about momentum.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Just be here. I think the issue is that my phone's cybermind, when it breaks into a conversation to tell me about an upcoming turn, it does so in a bit of a sort of a tactless way. Where it's like we could be talking about some really heavy shit, no matter what the topic of conversation is, she's always gonna bonk in there.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Like left turn and 500, like just like get in there. I need a more obsequious sort of AI who can just be like, hey, oh I'm so sorry, um, you're, oh gosh, oh wow, this is good stuff. They should make it come from the back seat. If they could somehow redirect Siri to come from the back seat and like at this point, you know, multi-directional, make it sound like someone leaning forward, like reminding something
Starting point is 00:26:38 like, it turns up here, just whatever. Or just minimize the impact on the conversation by making the commands as short and fast and sudden as they can possibly get, just to sort of like, right, right, right, right, right! Just like hitting you with one of those. And that way it doesn't even break the flow of this incredible, because the flow is the most important.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Like in movies when someone's on the earpiece and they're like, turn right when I tell you. Now! And it's like, okay, why didn't you just say, turn right in just a second? Like, just, okay, why are you yelling at me? Morpheus on a burner phone. I have full and absolute trust
Starting point is 00:27:11 in the navigation capabilities of my phone, but at the same time, that's also the same phone that every time I'm on a road trip and I stop to go to a fucking gas station, the phone's like, holy shit, what are you doing? Where are we? What is this? Turn around, holy shit, what are you doing? Where are we? What is happening? Turn around, do a U-turn.
Starting point is 00:27:28 What? Do a U-turn on the highway? You maniac, what do you think's happening? It's a BP. What do you think is going on? You're under a bridge, what the fuck? There should be a button. There's a road 100 feet to the right, are you on that one?
Starting point is 00:27:42 And I'm like, no, I'm still on the same road I was on before. There should be a button on any kind of maps app that's just like, it's okay, it's cool. Like that I can't. Just calm down, I know what I'm doing. It's fine. I'm just, it's cool, don't worry. And they're like, okay, sorry, man.
Starting point is 00:27:56 So freaked out. Hey, this is- Can we go Mind Zone? Yeah, I was actually gonna suggest that, girl. Yes, host. That's so funny. Yes, oh, you're right? Yeah, I was actually gonna suggest that, girl. Yes, host. That's so funny. Yes, oh. You're right, Travis, I was wasting time. ["It's Better With You"] Clear space, good.
Starting point is 00:28:18 The website, code. Slash my brother, how's that? Okay, we are not going to get a Michelin star for our ad reads despite the fact that I would say the closest we've ever come to receiving a prestigious podcast award was how good we are at ad reads. So let's not actually sacrifice, my non-negotiable is to not do this bit during the ad reads.
Starting point is 00:28:39 So efficient in the kitchen, luxurious in the ad reads. We lavish upon our sponsors. This is our victory, ad reads are in so many ways our victory lap, because it's like, this is the part of the show that we get that big money baby. And it's the only part that's scripted, which is nice. I'd love to get back into just the actual read itself, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:29:00 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The ad, you know? Go ahead there, Dr. Ads. I wanna talk about the next one. I don't want to talk about this one Okay, I'll talk about this thing cuz I love Squarespace with my whole heart, but I do too. No, apparently don't I love it like a brother. I love Squarespace. Squarespace has always been there for me Do you remember when my prom dates to me up and I lost the big game that day? I do. I will now, Travis, have to insist you return
Starting point is 00:29:27 to the copy of the ad. I'm- No, this is what I'm saying. I love to play. Hey, listen, earlier when Juice was like, get back on it before he's back to work, I was with you. I was like, no, man, we're having fun over here. To take it a second layer deeper is profane, I think, Trav.
Starting point is 00:29:42 I'm trying to talk about how much I love, I'm trying to lavish Squarespace's brain, always been there for me like a brother. I lost the big game on the same day that my prom date set me up, and Squarespace took me to the prom and stole the trophy from the trophy case and gave it to me and said, you're the winner now.
Starting point is 00:29:56 But to return to the ad copy though, Gleeplorp, I'm a robot, beep boop, here's a third bit.

Starting point is 00:31:56 My cats have fresh litter all the time. They're going wild for it. All I gotta do is add a little bit of extra litter when it runs low, dump the tray out, and it tells you when. It says, hey man, low, dump the tray out, and it tells you when. It says, hey man, time to dump the tray out whenever. It's not a big deal, like, it handles it. Yes. Do you watch it work?

I'm a big hydro homie who loves drinking water. I always use my giant 64 ounce water bottle. Recently I started a new job and I'm worried about bringing it in because my coworkers might see it and think it's too big. I don't want to seem weird.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Please help. I'm so thirsty and I need my water. Do you think I could sneak it in or disguise it somehow? That's from Thirsty in O'Fallon, Illinois. When? Just write three big X's on the side. They'll think it's moonshine. Nothing weird about that.
Starting point is 00:34:54 That's kick ass, actually. That's really good. When you take your car to the gas station and start pumping it full of that good amber car juice, are you embarrassed to give your car what it so clearly needs to hog it up on the road? Is the gas the water? No, gas is food.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Gas is the water of cars, we've covered this, but I do think that water is the gas of me. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And, well, okay, no, food is the gas of you. Food is the gas of me. Food is the gas of me is the oil of you. Water is the oil of me. And, well, okay, no, food is the gas of the oil. Food is the gas of the oil. Food is the gas of the oil. Water is the oil of you. Water is the oil of me.
Starting point is 00:35:27 No, that's the blood. Blood is the oil of, blood is the oil of me. Oil is blood, it pumps through the system. Water is the... The water. The radiator fluid. The water, the water. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Water is the water of the car. The water is the water. The water is the water, thank you so much, Justin. When you stop at the gas station, refill your radiator like an old timey driver. And the grill turns into the mouth when you eat a spicy food. When you eat a spicy food, the grill turns into the mouth. The water is the water, the blood is the oil,
Starting point is 00:35:53 and the food is the gas. Right, the roof is the hair. I rest my case. Well, what was the case I meant to? Case closed, your honor. You actually don't have a trial appearance here in my dock yet, I don't see you. Yeah, this is weird.
Starting point is 00:36:09 This is traffic court. Yes, this is also a framing supply store, so I think you are a little bit confused. I don't know how big a tank of fluid you would need to bring in that you should start being embarrassed by it. Maybe if it was like a water cooler size bottle that you just had a big long crazy straw coming out of because other people are gonna think like, oh damn,
Starting point is 00:36:34 Jonathan brought in a big one for the group to slug down and you're like, actually this is just my private. I don't have water cooler conversations. I have water cooler meditations. And it's just me juicing up. That is, okay, Griffin, you've sidestepped into a point in my head. I think I stepped into it. I think I just kind of stepped in. No, no, no, no, sidestepped because,
Starting point is 00:36:57 or I sidestepped based off of your step. We're doing a kind of Watusi here because now I'm thinking about, if you bring a 64 ounce thing, you fill it up once, what you are guaranteeing is no water cooler trips. Yeah. Where if you have a 16 ounce water bottle, you're giving yourself at least three breaks in the day
Starting point is 00:37:19 and chances to meet your new coworkers. Yeah, you say in here, I need my bottle, I'm so thirsty and need my water. You don't need that bottle if you're thirsty. You need that bottle if you don't wanna stand up a bunch of times to go get water. And you work in the desert. You're a buzzard perhaps.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Maybe you're some sort of carrion bird. I think the biggest risk of bringing in such a large water bottle to a new gig is that they're gonna be, I think, hyper vigilant on bathroom usage for you. Like, they are going to be really like, with a bottle that size? I bet they're using the bathroom all the time. And then there's gonna be some confirmation bias. Every time they you it's gonna be like going again Huh or something like some sort of smart look like all that big water bottle is making you Know like a big water bottles is keeping you even at the Even when the pissing place I think people will see you in the pissing place and think it's got to be the bottle There might already be a big bottle person
Starting point is 00:38:23 What if you show up with your 64 ounce bottle and someone else had a 64 ounce bottle and they loved being big bottle Bob and now you show up with your big bottle and big bottle Bob isn't a special anymore and now you gotta workplace right. Or they cut you with a 128 ounce or just leave you shame faced.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Or this. Or perhaps even worse of all, they see in you a kinship, a true brotherhood waiting to begin, and they step up like, hey, I didn't realize you were a big, nasty water boy. Hey there, hey there, Immortan Joe. I see you're hoarding all that good stuff.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Me too, I'm also a big, nasty water man. Yeah. Let's make each other our emergency contacts. I have a pretty big bottle of water here. It's 54 ounces, but I think I could probably push it. Damn, I had a 48 ounce bottle and Griffin just had to, I was about to say like, I got my 48 and Griffin just. I love this thing.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Cause I don't drink one of them every day. That would be wild, but I do drink one over a few days. And that's better than nothing. I drink at least two of these 48 ounce, but I would never show up with a 96 ounce somewhere. Mine has inspirational messages on them that become more sort of toxic as the day goes on. Where at 11 it's like, ready, go, you've got it,
Starting point is 00:39:40 feeling awesome, but then by 11, it's like done giving you fucking any quarter at all, and it's like, no fucking excuses, juice it, slop down this juice. Come on baby, you've got, yeah, now they turn it back around, which is how they get you at the end, where they're like, you did it,
Starting point is 00:39:54 I knew you could always do it, but there was definitely that point in the middle where they were like, you missed. The design on that is wrong, Griffin, because it says refill about three inches from the bottom. Yeah, and then you do it on the- Are they expecting a lot of sediment to settle down there?
Starting point is 00:40:07 So you're dead skin cells. Yeah, you keep that much backwash in it so that by like a week in, like it's very sustainable, Travis. Let me get my water bottle here. Oh, that's right, I only drink liberal tears. That was cool, Juice. Talk to me about that. I drink the tears. That was cool, Juice. Talk to me about it.
Starting point is 00:40:25 I drink the tears of the libs. Why are they crying? Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da- Buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh I don't think but one of the biggest fast food chains on the planet is are they starred? What are they? We only get it does McDonald's have a Michelin star no Okay, that's sad This is from McDonald's McDonald's to launch special grade garlic sauce exclusively on app So far.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Grade garden sauce? What did you say? Grade garden sauce. Grade. Grade garden sauce. Okay, special grade garlic sauce exclusively on app. Special grade, like you would get in school. I didn't realize that the sauces at McDonald's
Starting point is 00:41:43 were operating under some sort of grading system. Get ready to harness immeasurable power of our favorite jujutsu sorcerers. As McDonald's partners with Jujutsu Kaisen to launch the new special grade garlic sauce exclusively on the McDonald's app beginning July 9th. Inspired by the iconic black garlic sauce from McDonald's Japan,
Starting point is 00:42:04 the special grade garlic sauce introduces a new arc in the brand's sauce lineup, containing notes of garlic and soy sauce balanced with a slight tangy sweetness. I didn't know their sauces were on story arcs. I didn't realize. Yes, this is a new arc. This is season two of sauce. Of McDonald's sauce.
Starting point is 00:42:24 The new sauce packaging will feature eight unique lid designs New York! This is season 2 of Sauce! Of McDonald's Sauce! The new Sauce packaging will feature 8 unique lid designs starring fan favorite characters from the hit anime series. Collect them all to reach your peak strength. Huh! Now, I bet that at this point in the press release, you may be expecting some details about the Sauce sauce or availability or what have you.
Starting point is 00:42:47 But here's what follows. Yuji Itadori, a rare talent not seen in a thousand years who is able to withstand the poison of Sukuna and become his human vessel. Megumi Fushiguro, a genius who enrolled as a second grade sorcerer and the only first year student allowed to carry out solo missions. Nobara Kugisaki, a strong-willed third grade jujutsu sorcerer and the only first year student allowed to carry out solo missions. Nobara Kugisaki, a strong willed third grade Jujutsu sorcerer who came to Tokyo from the countryside. Satoru Gojo, the strongest special grade sorcerer
Starting point is 00:43:14 and teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Kento Nanami, a junior of Gojo who became a salary man, but later returned to Tokyo Jujutsu High to become a first grade sorcerer, the most adult of adults. Ooh. I- wait, oh. Tsukurugetu, a villain special grade sorcerer whose goal is to create a paradise for sorcerers free of humans. Mahito, a curse that originated from humans who can change the appearance of a person by touching their soul.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Sakuno, a king who survived one of the thousand years and still threatens- That comes out of Jarlid? They put a curse that- wait, they put a curse? Kuno is a king who survived one of the thousand years ago and still threatens the world after his death. Collect them all. But the guy drank the poison to become his vessel, so I don't understand how that could still be an off-line.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Griffin has understood it just perfectly. How are we so confused? Yeah. Now grab this special grade garlic sauce for free with any order of chicken McNuggets or pair with your to-go order in the McDonald's app to make a meal fit for any sorcerer. And each purchase of the sauce also unlocks
Starting point is 00:44:13 a 30 day free trial of? Curses. Griffin? Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll where you can watch full episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen and more of your favorite anime content. Okay, listen, first, Jujutsu Kaisen sounds badass. Second, I love the confidence of this press release.
Starting point is 00:44:35 It's amazing. That it does not describe the sauce, nor does it assume you need a plot breakdown of the anime, but rather just the specifics of which characters nor does it assume you need a plot breakdown of the anime, but rather just the specifics of which characters come on the lids of the sauce containers. It does not tell you what the show's about, just- Wait, so these characters come on the lids of the sauce containers?
Starting point is 00:44:57 These are, yes, those are the eight lids. The curse created by humans is are the eight lids. The curse created by humans is one of the lids. Yeah, one of the special lids. Is a curse created by? Okay, it says it's a character. Is it a living curse? I don't know, but that is what is happening.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Oh, it's like how the city is like the fifth character in Sex and the City. It's exactly like that. I love that this is a thing. I just wish that McDonald's had done a partnership with an anime that I was more familiar with so that I could celebrate it and feel like I could be a part of it.
Starting point is 00:45:33 This is the thing about this artifact, this thing that I'm reading to you, is the audience that it has imagined is a person who has no familiarity with Jujutsu Kaisen, but would very much be interested in a character by character breakdown of Jujutsu Kaisen. And also, PS is reading press releases about nugget sauce. Like, who is this human being? Oh, that's right. And?
Starting point is 00:46:05 It's just me. It's just Justin. It's just me. Can I also say, Here, for me, it's their best thing. I would like to, I wish I'd been in the room where they were like, and we'll attach a 30 day free trial for Crunchyroll. And then I would say,
Starting point is 00:46:17 so you're telling me that you envision a person that cares enough. Oh yes, Travis, thank you, yes. That cares enough about an anime they've never heard of. Yeah. To get these lids, but isn't a subscriber to Crunchyroll. Yes, so this press release about McDonald's garlic sauce based on anime for someone who's never watched anime. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Everyone can. Have you guys heard of Crunchyroll? Yeah. Yeah. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do with my grandpa Dan? Because it's McDonald's and they're like, do you want some of our Jujutsu Kaisen
Starting point is 00:46:56 special grade garlic sauce? It's like, what is happening? Does it come with a 30 day trial to Crunchyroll? Call an ambulance. I've got a ton of anime that I think Grandpa Dan would need too. And call Justin, ask him how to set up Crunchyroll on my team. The only thing that comes to mind, and please tell me if this is nothing,
Starting point is 00:47:17 is Neon Grimaces Evangelion. And this would be, it would be a just shot for shot remake of Evangelion, but it would be, the angels would be, it would be a just shot for shot remake of Evangelion, but it would be, the angels would be the McDonaldland characters in giant monstrous forms, and Nerve and the rest of the show is like, that's all the same, like it's still like giant Mecha and the like. I'd like to replace Nerve with a Hamburglar
Starting point is 00:47:40 and call him Purve, is that okay? Can we get that in there? Yes, because I came up with one Crunch Man and McFlurry on ice, were the two that I had. Those were both really good too. Justin, would you like to reference the anime with a McDonald's word mixed in there? I don't know any of them.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Oh, look at Mr. Cool Guy over here. Captain, wait, there's something there. Captain Frylock? No, that's not what you- Uh, nope, got nothing. Okay. Hey Captain Harlock. Do they have anything macadamia based? Urea, urea, and ice cream.
Starting point is 00:48:11 That's sort of the same as Travis's joke a little bit. I wasn't, I wasn't kinda panicking, trying to come up with anime I know about, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I watched the- Frygun! The Clerks cartoon. Was the Clerks cartoon anime? Yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Ah, real monster. Let's list off anime. Ah, real monsters, the Clerks cartoon, David the gnome, the real Ghostbusters. Yeah, the fake Ghostbusters. The fake Ghostbusters. Weirdly not the anime Ghostbusters. Now the Doug that they did on Disney was anime,
Starting point is 00:48:46 original Doug was not. OG Doug, that was traditional animation. I'm pretty sure they actually made McDonald's anime. And I'm saying that out loud so we don't get emails about it. Yeah, that has the ring of, not truth, but. Of Stranger Than Fiction. Hey, can I ask a question?
Starting point is 00:49:06 Yeah, please. What does McDonald's give or sell that garlic is a friend of? Nuggets. Nuggets is a friend. Is it garlic sauce? I would give it a garlic sauce. Soy, black garlic sauce for a Nuggets.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. When I was picturing a delivery order, the best I would hope for is a little plastic ramekin with a little plastic lid. What are the lids coming on that they're collectible in some way? Are these little jars? No, it's just the labels,
Starting point is 00:49:39 because you'll collect any trash they cast before your feet, you fucking magpies. That's true. Lick it up. That's how they see us anime fans. Just so they can milk all of our money and they don't have to give us quality lids. Do you guys ever run into this as a parent now showing my kids movies that I watched when I was a kid
Starting point is 00:49:58 and just immediately associating the McDonald's and Burger King toys in my mind? Like when I see Hercules and I think about all the Titans that came as toys, and like, when I watch, uh... what, Nightmare Before Christmas, and I think of the sick watches that Burger King had, and, um, I think maybe capitalism has ruined me. BLAIR Mm. Us.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Um... Yeah, I get the reverse of that sometimes, digging through, like, the loose toys bin in a geek or whatever. And I'll find a toy in there that I suddenly realized that I have 100% knowledge and recall of. Right. Yet did not had no conscious knowledge of. Yeah. So somewhere up here, there's this room that's like, oh yeah, this is the Beetlejuice cartoon car.
Starting point is 00:50:44 You see it shoots discs. You didn't even know this. As well as you know your own name. I've just been holding on to it in case you need it. The other day, BB was going through a box of stuff and I was like, old toys that they easily haven't touched in two years. And I said, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:51:01 And she looked at me with a sweetest looking face and she said, looking through things forgotten. And- Oh, that's really good. I know! We're getting to the point where we're, you know, starting to donate some old like kids toys because Gus inherited Henry's old stuff.
Starting point is 00:51:15 And what hits me the most is when I accidentally press a button on like an old Fisher Price electronic toy and it plays some fucking jammer. And I'm like, rainbow, rainbow, underwater, rainbow, like fucking bot, like it really hits me like, this was the summer jam of 2017. Yeah, exactly. There it is, that's my jam.
Starting point is 00:51:39 I miss my babies. Now it's just skibbity toilet. Now it's just skibbity toilet. No, it's just skibbity fucking. Skibbity toilet. But I say that, man, when I'm an old lonely man and someone's like, hey, remember this shit and place this skibbity toilet on our 4D holophone? Yeah. I'm gonna be like,
Starting point is 00:51:56 I miss my babies. I miss my babies. Why my babies grow up? When our kids are like 25 and you're like, are kids still into skibbity? Oh, man. Yeah, you guys don't realize, the more niche your old references are right now and the least successful they are to us,
Starting point is 00:52:13 those older folks, the absolute matter it's gonna see when you're a 40 year old trying to trot it out, roll it up in your Skibity toilet t-shirt that barely fits you. You guys remember? You guys remember Skibity? Hey, thank you. You guys still like skimity? Guys, we talked about it too much.
