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!

What's up, Chooms? It's me, your sweet baby brother fucking Chrome Jock psycho Griffin McElroy, Griffin Zap McElroy. Did you say Chrome Jock psycho? Yeah. I'm a fucking street samurai Chrome psycho jockey, Trav. Deck jockey, why are you? The fact you don't know that makes you a real gong.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Hey. Makes me a what? Why have you been shredding through so much ice lately? Why are you such a- Baby, you know me. I'm a jockey and I gotta get chipped with the new shit. I was cruising down Dog Street yesterday with my tubes. And I saw this ad in the scream sheets
Starting point is 00:02:09 for a real psycho fucked up ripper doc down in tiny Kyoto. And so I cruised down there, cause I'm always trying to get chipped with the new shit. And I was flush with eds from this gunk. I zeroed. What the fuck are you talking about? I zeroed a gunk and I clipped his eds,
Starting point is 00:02:33 took him to the fucking psycho ripper doc I found in the scream sheets. And he was like, what are you looking for? And I pointed at my crotch. And he was like, third nut. And I was like, no, the other way. I was like, I want you to zero all my seed. Zero my seed for me. Clear my cache.
Starting point is 00:02:51 He got in there. He fucking bumped the ram on my Sandevistan and put some new launchers on my Mantis blades. And then he severed my Vaz deference. Completing the trifecta. Completing it. on my mantis blades, and then he severed my vas deferens. Completing the trifecta. Completing it. And now I'm, look at me guys, I'm glowing. I got all the new bio mods available. I gotta be at the top of the line when I live on the edge.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Now with your overclocked penis. It's more Travis about the underclocking. You underclocked your penis. I took a look at some of my benchmarks and I said there's one of those in particular I would like to reduce to zero. Yesterday this was that I was done. Took out all your RAM? Dog Street.
Starting point is 00:03:39 I unloaded, I unloaded and I miss it. I miss all my guys. So what, your 24 hours post? Yeah. Just about 25 hours post as the crow flies. How has the recovery process been? What's the heaviest thing you've had? I mean, as funny as you think it's gonna be.
Starting point is 00:03:59 It's like nonstop nut humor that you're like, is also a moment that you're in. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And the moment lasts for a long time. But this is it, man, guys. This is the martini shot on the whole generation of McElroy creation. That's it.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Did you have them put in the fake testicles for you, like the give dogs? They didn't, as far as I know, cause I asked afterwards, which was embarrassing, I was like, so what did you just do? You didn't think the- Well, I knew what the end game was. Griffin.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Yes. When you asked what they just did, did the doctor say something like, don't worry about it? Or like, it's done now, so it doesn't matter? I mean, my doc was super chill. He was like, don't worry about it? Or like, it's done now, so it doesn't matter? I mean, my doc was super chill. He was like, you're gonna feel it. He was like, you have to feel it. Which I thought was weird.
Starting point is 00:04:52 He was like, you're gonna feel it a little bit. And I was like, you really can't just pump it so full that I don't feel it at all. And he was like, it's normal to feel it a little bit. But he said, don't bear down, that makes it harder. He said, just kind of take that moment and make space for it, which I thought was cool. Griff, Griff, you mentioned just a second ago
Starting point is 00:05:10 that your doctor for your vasectomy was super chill. Considering the procedure was, you allowed it to continue, I would assume that's understood. Because if he had come to you like, well, here goes nothing! First time for everything! Yeah, right? Like, here you go holding my wrist. I can't believe they're letting me do my first one by myself!
Starting point is 00:05:29 You don't have a spare hand to hold this scalpel, do you, pal? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He gave me a bit of a hard time during the first. Actually, the reverse is supposed to happen. He gave me a soft time, but the first nut was hard, was difficult for me, and I was sort of doing some heavy breathing, and I got a little nauseous, and I was sort of doing some heavy breathing,
Starting point is 00:05:45 and I got a little nauseous, and I was like, is it normal to feel like really nauseous right now? And he was like, yeah, for nervous guys. Well, but he also read you like a book then, Griffin. Well, yeah, he also had my scrotum spatchcocked on the table in front of him, which is a real power dynamic that I don't even think he took time to stop and consider.
Starting point is 00:06:05 That's why you have to like wear a cool mask or something. So you're intimidating him while he's intimidating you. Well, I had on the sunglasses that pop out of my cheekbones, which was one of my first augs. Oh yeah, was that an expensive one? There were some older old head freaks there too, who were getting some prostate augs. And I was like, hell yeah dude, don't ever give up.
Starting point is 00:06:26 With the kind of body work we're able to get now, none of us ever has to die. That's true. Did they give them to you in a jar afterwards for you to take home? I was, dang it Travis. I was just about to ask that question. Goofs aside, so there's no,
Starting point is 00:06:40 and you guys had both had this done, I know. So there's, I still got them. Yeah, we don't wanna, are you worried that people might listen to this podcast and take it as medical advice? Yeah, I still got them. But he did leave, you know, they go in and they take a little bit of the tubing out. And he just left that on the sort of operating tray
Starting point is 00:07:05 after he was like, He said chill here for five minutes. Yeah, he poured a hot broth over them and they writhed on the tray. I was like, that's a chill dude, man. And then you ate it for vitamins, right? No, Travis, no. No, you're gonna give people really misguided ideas
Starting point is 00:07:21 about what this procedure is like. You do not consume anything. They don't make you eat anything. I'll tell you this, here's the good news, anyone listening at home, getting a vasectomy, whether you never wanna have kids or you're done having kids, rules, because then after that, when someone's like, you guys ever think about having another one?
Starting point is 00:07:39 You could say stuff like, nah, that factory's closed. Nobody ever goes in, nobody ever comes out. That factory's done in. Nobody ever goes in, nobody ever comes out. That factory's done. Nobody ever goes in? If you wanna be fucking weird. If you wanna be like the weirdest possible about it. You guys know me. That's insane thing to ask.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Mind your own damn business. That's also true. That's also a good way to go with that. I'm gonna start wearing shirts that say, don't ask me about my vasectomy. Read this pamphlet I've printed out. Hey Griffin, if you wanna start selling shirts that say that, I think that we could make a really nice-
Starting point is 00:08:08 Actually, yeah, that's actually- I don't wanna talk about my vasectomy today. We could, if there's a tiny- Don't ask about my vasectomy. A tiny please at the top, but it's just very little please. Don't ask about my- Please. I don't wanna be too aggressive about it. Please understand.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I'd rather you not ask me about my vasectomy. There might be people who buy that earnestly wanting to get that message across, but it's gonna attract a lot of people who are gonna be fucking jokers about it and think this is a joke t-shirt, probably bought at Spencer's. We'll make the don't really big then.
Starting point is 00:08:38 So it'd be like, don't ask me about my vasectomy. I feel like Spencer's Gifts, I went from, I realized this at the mall this week I There is an inflection point where I thought I was too young to go in Spencer's gifts And if I got caught in there something be like get out of here Yeah, grown-up stuff look at all these butts on this postcard kid get. Get out of here. Sure. And now I definitely feel too old. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:07 So it's like, if I went into Spencer's, I'd be like, get out of here. This is, this stuff has Charlie XCX on it. You're not allowed to be in here. And so I've, I don't know if there's a point where anybody's allowed in Spencer's. 21 to 23. I was gonna say 16, 16 and 17.
Starting point is 00:09:23 You're one of those two ages where you're old enough to drive, but too young to vote, you can go into Spencer's gifts. Oh, okay. Here's what I think. I think that everybody feels that way, or else it's not Spencer's. That's true.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Because if you're not the- Look in your heart, if you're someone who walks into Spencer's gifts and you think I'm not challenged by any of this, block yourself in prison. You're not getting pushed out of your comfort zone and ain walks into Spencer's Gifts and you think I'm not challenged by any of this, lock yourself in prison. You're not getting pushed out of your comfort zone and ain't a Spencer's. Yeah, or you're a monster.
Starting point is 00:09:51 The Spencer's is next to your comfort zone to the left of Auntie Anne's. What if cyber fucking psycho body mods became like reality? I bet Spencer's Gifts would definitely become a big, big player in the space. Oh yeah. In the Chrome space. Give me a torso plate with Demon Slayer guy on it.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I would like to transition from this discussion to our first question, because I think it's Jermaine, if we could. Please. I'm in a standstill traffic in Atlanta right now, staring at a trunk with a hot pink truck nuts hanging off the hitch. Can you please tell me why only balls? Don't dudes care about the size of their noodle rather than the size of their balls? Am I missing something?
Starting point is 00:10:33 What happened to this truck's noodles? This person is just asking about truck nuts. Now I wanted to get your guys read on this because I have an assumption about the purpose of- About why it's nuts and not the- The full package, yeah. Yeah. Okay, I'd love to hear your theory.
Starting point is 00:10:49 My assumption is the truck represents the dick. That the truck is the dick- That's cool. And the balls hang off the back to indicate this is my truck dick. Well, and I also think there's a suggestion that a truck probably has an internal dick. Like one that-
Starting point is 00:11:04 A crankshaft. like it can come out. And I don't wanna get too gross and blue about it, but I think anyone, also with the shaft piece, sorry. With the shaft, okay, here's the bumper of the truck. The nuts are hanging. Is the shaft on the front of the balls as we're seeing it, or is it going this way? If the trucks, I'm saying if the truck's headlights
Starting point is 00:11:28 are its head, and then you followed it down and there would be balls, the shaft would not face the car behind it. No, it's on all fours though. It would face the front. The truck is on all fours. Okay. You never see a truck walking on just two wheels.
Starting point is 00:11:42 No, Travis, I understand that, but if you went downward dog right now, would your shaft hang on the back of your balls? No man. No, it would be on the front kind of pointing down that you would still only probably see. So I think anyone who just expects, maybe the shaft is there and you just can't see it
Starting point is 00:12:00 cause you're behind. No, the truck is the shaft. Okay, okay. Okay, you sound so wild right now. You know that there's races. Why are the nuts the only anatomically correct part of the truck? Well, I assumed you were indicating like,
Starting point is 00:12:15 this truck is a metaphor for my dick, and so here are some literal balls. But then in the metaphor, I'm inside my dick driving it. Going crazy. It also would imply just on a scale difference. Yeah. I, my truck nuts are a prescription. I like to have my balls out all the time.
Starting point is 00:12:35 And I had trouble getting into vehicles. Even structures were a challenge for me because I didn't want my balls view to be obscured at any point. You need proxy balls. Truck was really hard for me, especially truck cab, because I feel like I needed that behind me to carry all the baggage I had.
Starting point is 00:12:53 If you- And so my doctor said- Wait, let him finish, please. Thank you. You're sounding a lot like my doctor right now. I know you don't- I'm sorry, yes, please, go on. Yeah, thank you.
Starting point is 00:13:03 The doctor said that maybe I could attach these artificial nuts to the back of my truck so I could always be displaying my scrotum. It's modeled exactly on mine, it costs $18,000. Oh! Oh! Did you do like a plaster cast kind of like epoxy? It was neoprene.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Yeah, it was, yeah. And the truck nuts themselves are held on with a neodymium magnet that actually is, helps to charge my cell phone. That's amazing. Whoa, that's cool, man. It's actually, it's rare earth. Layman's parlance.
Starting point is 00:13:40 If you're someone with truck nuts, out of respect for your truck, you probably like tuck them away if you're gonna do like some mudding or off-roading or whatever, right? That's illegal actually. If the cops catch you and you have magnets on the back of the truck nuts that let you swing them up out of sight whenever you're in a precarious social situation, that's illegal. You're not allowed to do that. I would just feel terrible just letting my trucks nuts bang around like that and like hit rocks and get all muddy and stuff You can't you can't see this image that we have friends But this on the back of this truck in addition to these I gotta say pretty big truck Yeah, I mean even for like I know I don't like to comment on people's genitalia, but like those are pretty big
Starting point is 00:14:21 I feel they're Optimus Prime Yeah, there's something on something on the truck that says, call for a free estimate. And I think that that is pretty... That's awesome. That's pretty good to not only have truck nuts, but here is a phone number where you can call me directly at any point to discuss these nuts.
Starting point is 00:14:39 You know exactly how to act. This is a work vehicle. Yeah. I can't see the area code or I would have got an answer on this already. I would just, yeah, I would just call them up. I'd like you to estimate why you have those. Could you estimate where's your truck dick?
Starting point is 00:14:56 Just estimate it for me, please. Can you estimate if the truck is the dick and you're driving? Is the truck a dick or is it internal? Are you driving inside the metaphor of your truck dick? The shaft is actually coming up underneath the tailgate. It's been squished. Oh no, ah!
Starting point is 00:15:12 It's gone. It's gone. Not again. Yowch! You can actually see a little rubber man sticking out of the truck bed like, yow! No! Not again, poor guy.
Starting point is 00:15:24 That's cool. That's gonna happen again. Ugh. That's cool. I see blondies repeating strips. Dagwin got his nuts stuck in the truck again. I'm gonna start making truck like arms and like a truck shoulder and maybe like a truck knee and just slowly kind of metamorphosize.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Yes. Slowly metamorphosize the truck. I want a hereditary brand truck daughter for my passenger window. Sheesh, yeesh. The dick isn't funny. The balls are the only funny part of what's going on down there.
Starting point is 00:15:59 That is true. A dick is very serious. Dick is gross and weird. Balls are serious. I'm not gonna go that far, bodies are beautiful. But dick is a serious matter. Compared'm not gonna go that far, bodies are beautiful. But, dick is a serious matter. Compared to the bottom part of it, it's funny and like, it rules, man, down there.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Hey, can I? The whole situation is awesome. The whole stuff is so cool. I have an idea, and it's for a segment, and it's like WikiHow, except Cynthia sent this in, WikiHow does a lot of other stuff other than just silly articles written by well-meaning amateur artists.
Starting point is 00:16:32 They got games and this one is the Riz game, test your Riz. Huh, okay. I thought let's knock it out, wondering how much Riz you actually have, calculate your Riz score and find out whether you've reached peak Rizzler status with our interactive game. I don't think you can say Rizzler status.
Starting point is 00:16:52 I think I should have gotten the status on that one. Yeah, I actually think Rizzler has been co-opted by the Rizzler so hard that only the Rizzler gets to be the one. Is that something multiple folks can be? Are you saying that was a title one had to earn through a series of like tasks? I only know of one. In my house, there's only one, the Rizzler.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yeah, okay. And he's friends with big justice and AJ, so like. Yeah, there's the Rizzler, the Onesler, and I think that's it. I think there's just the two. And Baby Grog. Sala-salu. So this is a literal, little text parser quiz where you actually type in your answer.
Starting point is 00:17:29 So I thought we could, like, come up with the best answers together. I don't know how they grade this. It's probably not AI, just because it's Wikihow. And they only have, like... Graded by, like, a professor? What are you talking about? It's possible, but I don't know how... Is it essay questions?
Starting point is 00:17:43 I mean, it can be an essay if we wanna write an essay, but that would probably not be great audio. So let me issue with this. You come across one of these dating profiles, what's your opening line? We got Rebecca25, creative director at WikiPiki. So here's my story. I'm a teacher by day and a wannabe reiki master by night,
Starting point is 00:18:01 a native Oregonian. I couldn't live without my daily barefoot walk in the dewy morning grass. If you asked my friends, they'd say I'm a typical Libra with Aquarius tendencies. Or Michael 28, he's going to University of Colorado Boulder. I'm a competent, passionate, and funny person. I teach taekwondo and do stunt work in films and television.
Starting point is 00:18:20 You know all those times you see a naked man butt on screen? Yep. Is there a, is it Rizzler to be like, pass? Oh, that's cool. I kinda don't hate that. Pass, next. Swipe whatever direction means you don't like it.
Starting point is 00:18:37 I'm sorry, I got married in 2005. Okay. Yeah, either one of those people I'm sure is special for someone, not for me. Oh, we could also do this. We could be like, Rebecca, you should hit Michael up. Oh yeah, you two would get along great. That is a cute pairing.
Starting point is 00:18:52 I wish I could pick, yeah. He teach Taekwondo and you know the butts you see on TV? Go for it. Hey Griffin, I think you stumbled on something really good, Quick Sidebar. Yeah. A killer version of those apps would be like, I would do the dating apps if I didn't do the dating. Shit, yeah. I just saw people like, oooooh, that's what I got to do it.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Can I do that? They don't need AI for that. No, no, no, no, no, I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. AI would not get it right, because AI would be like, AI would be like, they both like Seinfeld. Kiss, kiss, and you know like, I'll do it. They just gotta tell me everything. Man, I'll take it a step further
Starting point is 00:19:30 and pay for the like premium version and I'll like impractical jokers in your ear tell you what to say on the date. Fuck yes, please. Alternatively, after you do the matching, those two have to get married at first sight. We'll be there every step of the way to help them through this challenging romance journey.
Starting point is 00:19:50 We'll deburr your actor, whole married, whole heel man beginning to end. It's like The Sims, but real life. You're calling someone you're interested in. How do you make them smile? I validate their feelings. Validate their feelings. And I listen and don't try to fix their feelings. Validate their feelings? And I listen and don't try to fix their problems.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Stop, he's just talking a bunch of nonsense. What? Okay, so I just wrote everything Travis said. Listen, am I going in on cold approach? Yeah, make them smile, Juice. Harden egg. Harden egg early. Harden egg early.
Starting point is 00:20:21 My next is gonna be asking them about their day and be actually interested. Smile uncomfortable. Defensive smile. Defensive smile. Okay, so so far I have- Hey, a smile's a smile. Okay, so I got validate their feelings and listen and don't try to, just kidding, hard neg early,
Starting point is 00:20:38 a smile is a smile. Even an uncomfortable. We're on the next one. What's your favorite question to ask on a first date? I don't think that accurately. I think you're trapped that I'm going to workshop that a bit. Well, that would take too long. Yeah, Justin, when you're on the date, you don't have time to workshop.
Starting point is 00:20:58 That's true, but that's why we're taking a quiz, right? Yeah. Not on a date. What's your favorite question to ask on a first date? Let me remember, 15 years ago. Yeah. Not on a date. What's your favorite question to ask on a first date? Let me remember 15 years ago. What, I would ask my first date the same question I ask all strangers. What food could you eat the most of?
Starting point is 00:21:19 It's pretty good. Do you eat the most of? They're gonna be confused by that? Can we like flesh it out with like, for instance. I'm saying that while they, I say, well, I guess you could say like, what food could you win an eating contest of? Cause that's usually if people need more clarification.
Starting point is 00:21:37 Yeah, I like that. Could you win an eating? I mean, do you have a, do you have an answer locked and loaded for this? Yes. What? Yes, obviously. You think I'm going around asking people that
Starting point is 00:21:50 without having an answer? Are you stalling right? Nachos? Munchos. Munchos. Munchos, huh. I eat like four bags of munchos, I don't care. The amount of oil.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Yeah, Justin, you're a fucking rebel, dude. I'm a lunatic, you don't know what I'm capable of. You know what else, you know what my real answer is? I just changed it. Cause I'm hungry, peanut butter pretzels. Holy shit, dude. I drained a bucket of those the other day. So good.
Starting point is 00:22:20 If I could get like a Novocaine shot that would like numb my jaw to any kind of jaw pain, fuck, there's no stopping me with that. Yeah, right. I would need some sort of lubricant. Man, Sydney and I were talking about this and she got mad at me because I said,
Starting point is 00:22:36 I just need some way to keep my mouth wet. She said, don't say that. And I was like, but I mean- We have to acknowledge the power of love. I just gotta keep my mouth wet. Yeah. It is the human condition that we spend every moment of our life
Starting point is 00:22:50 balancing the dryness or wetness of our mouth with food or drinks. And pretzels throws that shit so far off balance, but it's so good. So come and milk, eat it, like everybody's always looking, when you're perusing for snacks, it's actually like, this is this time on an American tradition where you're like, going to the gas station, you're like, so what snacks do you want like, this is this time-honored American tradition
Starting point is 00:23:05 where you're like going to the gas station, you're like, so what snacks do you want? And then you look at the snacks for a long time, you just want peanut butter filled pretzels. Yeah, man. That's all you want. Tastes good. Fills you up if you need that.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Protein. Fills you up. Good for the gym. So I'm gonna, hold on, let me. Type that all out. I have, what food could you eat the most of? What food could you win an eating contest of? Munchos or PBPs.
Starting point is 00:23:33 So thirsty good. Next, you see your gym crush working out. How do you make the first move? Don't. That's a quick one, and I agree, and we'll move right on. You spot someone cute in a cafe. How do you make the first move? Don't. That's a quick one. And I agree and we'll move right on. You spot someone cute in a cafe. How do you approach them? Is this seat taken?
Starting point is 00:23:52 Is that? You're pointing at their seat. You're pointing at the seat they're sitting in. No. Griffin. Serpentine. That's the best approach? Yeah, that's the approach.
Starting point is 00:24:04 You gotta go in veering back and forth. They can't see you coming. And then you're next to them like, server team. Maybe slice the pie. Slice the pie, that's good. Wait, you're next to them on the same side of the table? Watch your angles.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Actually, if I could show you guys the image. Can you screen share in Riverside? Yes you can. Yeah, click share. If you look actually, it does look like a man is kind of like- Oh yeah. He's kind of doing a little solid snake. It looks like a two way mirror. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Okay, I have to, sorry. This is completely different. This is a completely different question that the text would imply. The text says, you spot someone cute in a cafe, how do you approach them? Absolutely fair. But in the image, what becomes clear
Starting point is 00:24:53 is that you're outside the cafe and the person is inside the cafe. Ding! That's different. Hey, hey! That's a different. It's not a girl shop. You can't, right?
Starting point is 00:25:05 They are also reading a book, which is the universal sign for like, I would like to go left alone. Okay, so how do you approach them? Go the opposite direction. Yes, if it's meant to be your meaty, write your phone number in a book. They like books.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Wait for serendipity. Sell the book at a nearby. Wait for serendipity. Yeah. It'll happen. Keep your. Grades up. Stay prayed up. And just wait.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Keep your grades up. Keep your grades up. Yeah, sorry, I should be putting that at the end of each of those. It's your partner's birthday, what thoughtful gift do you give them? Yeah, right, like I'm gonna waste one of those on our fucking podcast.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Nice try. Like I'm gonna turn one of those into a joke and not an actual thing I do. I'm gonna give them time away from me. Oh, that's sad. To sit with their friends, yeah. That makes me sad, Trav. Yeah, it's sad, man.
Starting point is 00:26:02 You're better than that. What? You're better than that. It's blue collar comedy tour. Like you're better than this. Yeah, it's sad, man. You're better than that. What? You're better than that. It's blue collar comedy tour. Like you're better than this. Yeah, here's your comment. Hey guys, I'm clearly not, or they wouldn't need the day away from me. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:26:13 I can be a lot. Oh man. Yeah, it just hurts to hear it. It makes me sad to hear it. The picture shows flowers, so just say flowers. I guess so. Write flowers, like in the picture. I mean, the thoughtful thing implies
Starting point is 00:26:29 that I'm thought, I'm thoughting about them and I can't thought about them in this hypothetical situation, right? A specific thing for their specific tastes. Yeah, you know, like something they'd like. They should make a shop where you go in and then there's just like a billion flowers to pick from. And it's like you're at the Lego store or at Cold Stone.
Starting point is 00:26:51 And then you can put a bunch of different flowers together and you can take those and be like, I put a lot of thought into it. I picked each of the flowers in this thing. There you go. I think too, man, let's put some of those internet sleuths out there to go where I wish I could go into a store and give them like all of Justin McRoy's socials, and then be like, in 20 minutes, give me like a list of recommendations for gifts that Justin would like.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Are you saying like a private detective gift advisor? That's so good, Travis. Yes. This sucks. You know why we're never gonna be rich? It's just this stupid fucking podcast. Yeah, we're giving it away. If it weren't for this dumbass podcast, 80 times in my life already I would have picked up the film and be like, Travis, you're never gonna believe it. We never have to work again.
Starting point is 00:27:33 And you're just like, that's it, we're rich. Flowers like in the- Like those two blind brothers on Facebook all the time? That could have been us! We're brothers! What are you talking about, man? Two blind brothers, it's a clothing company. They're brothers also, but they got rich. We should have done that. I'm not on your alco juice. Your alco is your blade that you crafted.
Starting point is 00:27:48 This is a well-known clothing. This is just, this is a well-known, well-known thing. Okay. Okay, I got flowers like in the picture, customize them like at Cold Stone Private Detective Gift Advisor. I lost the plot. No, you didn't. You didn't.
Starting point is 00:27:56 You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't.
Starting point is 00:28:04 You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. You didn't. This is a well known, well known thing. Okay. Okay, I got flowers like in the picture, customized them like at Cold Stone Private Detective Gift Advisor. I lost the plot. No, you nailed it. You're in charge of the next date. Where do you plan to sweep them off their feet? What do you do to sweep them off their feet?
Starting point is 00:28:17 That's easy, you're going for the ankles. Go for the ankles. You wanna go like a leg kick or maybe like a leg kick or maybe like a shoulder throw too would work. Get the waiter to kneel down behind them for a classic bullies push. I love that. The classic bullies push.
Starting point is 00:28:41 The classic bullies push. Dude, can you even imagine the first time, it was probably like 1780, and there was a kid who was like pushing his friend, but another friend was tying his shoes behind him, and it was totally an accident, but those two looked at each other like, whoa. We've really stumbled on something powerful.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Yeah, that's how we bring the big kids down. Benedict Bully, you nailed it. You can't work against him. Okay, last one. I would actually say that trick, I don't think of it as a bully's shove, right? I think that is like a David and Goliath style technique. Oh, it's a way to take out.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Get a big guy out of it. Well, it would be like David and Greg and Goliath. And Goliath, right? Goliath. You need a couple Daves in there. Your partner is having a bad day. How do you cheer them up? Last one.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Hold them accountable. Why are they still so sad? Hold them comfortable, Travis. I said accountable, but. Accountable. Comfortable. For their sins. Nick Kama, make them comfortable.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I would like them to be comfortable while they're accountable. Yeah. Okay. So they're doing some reflection. Sorry, quick sidebar. I would like to reverse the clauses so that they are comfortable and then you hold them accountable
Starting point is 00:30:02 for their sins because I feel like the accountability is going to flow a lot better if they're already physically comfortable. You want them accountable for their sins. Because I feel like the accountability is gonna flow a lot better if they're already physically comforted. You want them to let their guard down before the accountability starts? Yeah, if the accountability happens and then the comfort. While you hold them accountable for their sins.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Okay, cool. All right, let's see how we do. Okay. An Amex ad, I'm not gonna sign up for one of those. This is my reward, according to this ad window. Oh no! Oh boy. We got a 22 out of 100, your Riz is terrible. On what metric?
Starting point is 00:30:35 I gotta see a little bit more context. Leah, I'm sure that they have the machine learning fucking breakdown. No, I mean, they just said, have you interacted with a person before your responses came off as confusing and at times rude. Just because you don't understand something
Starting point is 00:30:53 doesn't mean it's confusing. And now you're talking about it. So tell me who's Riz's bad computer, because you're still thinking about a computer trying to understand it. That's Riz, baby. This is the number one thing that computers should not be telling us how to do.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Talk to you, Riz. Can we do that? Like, there's nothing... We can barely figure this out and we got like a thousand supercomputers. There's no way that a computer should be telling me about Riz. It's the last human frontier.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I wouldn't tell a computer how to seduce another computer. Yeah. When we can't pick the Cylons out from us, it's the Riz. That's what separates us. Yeah. You don't know how we're selling these lines. I saw Battlestar Galactica, man.
Starting point is 00:31:38 They can Riz with the best of them. They Riz pretty hard, dude. Well, you just did an incredible impression of the XO while you're doing the, yeah, I know where your Cylons are. They're Riz'ing everywhere. My spine glows all red whenever I get a boner. That's my next og. Let's take a break.
Starting point is 00:32:00 A hog og. Next time I og my hog, I'm getting that glowed spine stuff, baby. It's better, it's better with you.

It's a great gift because you can set it up beforehand, even if the person's not super tech savvy, you can plug in their WiFi info, all that stuff before,

You can just zip them over to your friends and family's frames. The person doesn't have to know a lot about technology, they just have to love seeing new pictures of you. It's a great way to keep people in the loop.

We're all in this moment, aren't we? You've all made us part of this moment. You've trapped us in this moment. Like the jaws of an antlion.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've already done an advertisement, and I'm not gonna do your guys' work for you. Dude, it is not about the work. I was revved up and ready to go. ZocDoc was listening. The fucking boss of ZocDoc was like, yes, yes, yes, they're going to do one actually,
Starting point is 00:34:57 like with very present experience. This is gonna be a good one. Yeah. And what sucks is like, at this point, he now has realized like, he got excited when he was like, wow, a four minute ad? We're really getting our money's worth. Like at this point he's realizing.

Starting point is 00:36:50 Just again, I'm so sorry. Okay. How about another question? Please. My fiance proposed to me at the local tree farm while we were there picking out a Christmas tree. He had everything planned to put an incredible amount of effort in making it perfect.
Starting point is 00:37:05 He led me to look at a specific tree he had already picked out ahead of time that had a scenic background and a sunset behind us. Of course I said yes, but brothers, how do I tell him I hate the tree? Fuck. That's from Pine Proposal Pickle in the Palouse. You've already...
Starting point is 00:37:21 Shit, man. Can we just lay out sort of a blanket? This is, obviously we've been doing this for a long time. We have a lot of kind of like best practices when it comes to writing a question to Mbem Mbem. I think a question you should ask yourself before you submit anything to us is, by sending this question into Du Bois,
Starting point is 00:37:41 am I creating or otherwise dramatically extending the paper trail of this quandary that I am stuck in? Right. That's true, because now we're complicit. We're complicit. You have tied our hands, our hands, behind our own backs to say anything except, well, he's gonna find out.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Yeah. He'll find out at some point, and you might've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for these darn kids, who you voluntarily emailed your issue to. If you had sent this email in like three weeks ago, like my boyfriend keeps coming home smelling of pine, and I'm finding like wedding ringer seats everywhere, I think he's gonna propose to me at a Christmas tree farm
Starting point is 00:38:21 in front of a tree, but I wanna make sure it's a good tree, if it's ugly tree, I don't know what to do. Then you would have had options. Yeah. I think the bigger question mark for me that I don't know, besides the fact that like, is there a picture of the tree? No, none was included.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Interesting, okay. So other than that, I would ask, man, I thought I was gonna sneeze. God, I told you. Holy shit, man, for real? I thought you were having an emotional moat. I thought you were having a tiny heart attack. I thought I was gonna, oh man.
Starting point is 00:38:54 No, you just touched your chest in a way, and I was like, buh-hee. You touched your chest, and you licked your lips, and I was like, is this man about to bust teeth? I thought I was gonna bust. I thought you were having a tiny medical emergency. I was gonna bust a great sneeze. But that was just a little sneeze.
Starting point is 00:39:07 For me, the number one question is, is it decorated yet or not? Because I hate decorating Christmas trees. I'm sorry, guys, I hate that shit. There's a thousand of them, and you have to put them all up, and then a month later take them all down. I hate that shit. If I wanted to to do this I would clean my house now
Starting point is 00:39:28 Yeah, just making a mess and then cleaning it back up later. I hate doing that okay if it's already decorated Fucking who cares here's not decorated we can have a talk we can talk here's what I'll throw out because we have Artificial so close to the camera Travis and it is given the entire show this wild energy. We have an artificial tree, and there is always a moment, there is a period of time when tree comes out of box, and you have to start spreading everything out, where when I start, I'm so committed to like, as I spread, it's gonna look perfect.
Starting point is 00:39:59 And then I get like a third of the way through, and I'm like, this is fine. One of the hardest ones to explain to the aliens, I think, is fake tree to look like real tree. And they're like, why would you ever have real tree in hell? It's like, I know, I know, I know. But that's because they don't know about the fluffer process.
Starting point is 00:40:14 You gotta fluff it. Every year. I only ever fluff the bottom third though, giving it a sort of flirty, Farrah Fawcett kind of flick at the bottom. A flirty Farrah Fawcett flick? Yeah bottom. A Ferrah faucet flick? Yeah, man. Fuck!
Starting point is 00:40:27 I also wear work gloves now when I do the fluffing process. I learned that. Yeah, work gloves and long sleeves are a must for fluffing. Fuck your arms up otherwise. So fluff it, have you not, well, it's a real tree. You can't really, it's harder to fluff a real tree, huh? Is there a good side to it? Harder fluffing a tree.
Starting point is 00:40:41 What? Is there a good side to the tree that maybe if you display that side. Ooh, is there a good side to the marriage? That's a better question. Well, is there a good side to the tree that maybe if you display that side- Ooh, a good side of the marriage, that's a better question. Well, this is fun. Is there a good way to spin this whole stinker of a situation of like, it's not reflective of the future love we share?
Starting point is 00:40:56 It's funny, actually. If you find a good side though, that's a good story to do at like, you know, the wedding reception where you're like, you know, just like Derek, at first I thought this tree was a real garbage heap, but then I found a way to kind of fix it. The secret, I think, to a happy marriage that I think is a, this is actually a really good time
Starting point is 00:41:16 to learn this thing. Oh, okay. Fuck yeah, man. Now here comes that emotional moment, Griffin. This is it, this is it. When you feel something that you feel like might make the other person feel pain or discomfort, and this is really, I guess with every relationship. Oh, you're trying.
Starting point is 00:41:33 You can, the trick is, I think, as you get older, you learn the trick is to make yourself not feel that. You know what I mean? So if, huh. So if in your marriage or friends or whatever it is, if you think like, if I say this about the tree, it would hurt them. And you know, that's true.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Right. I think the secret is to look deep down in yourself and change that feeling. Sure. So as to not make others, any other feel. So you're saying like your own needs and wants and like stuff that'll make you happy. It doesn't always have to be that.
Starting point is 00:42:08 There are only needs and wants before you change them. Do you understand? Yes. Now they're just memories. Memories, it's a different guy. Stuff I have, stuff I like to use. I will say, Jesus, you could, and we're recording this, which is awesome, because this is an energy you're gonna need to channel
Starting point is 00:42:24 when we're in the boardrooms of the investors for our matchmaking Get Married at First Sight app. If you can bring this heat, we're gonna be batting 1,000 in a way. And soon our- My brother, my brother, me, feel different. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:42:37 It's like, it's- Together. Together, feel different together. It's huge. Yes. Yes. I've onto Munch. I've never seen the transformation before. I've onto Munch. My cape is draped over the side of my chin. It makes it look like I have a growth. Very velvety.
Starting point is 00:43:08 It is, and I don't remember seeing those band leader buttons on it. Podcast. You sound kind of sick. Are you okay? They're epaulettes, Griffin. I'm sorry. Do you have walking pneumonia, Dracula?
Starting point is 00:43:20 I mean Count Dona? Oh, sorry. Welcome to Munch Squad, the podcast within the podcast profiling the latest and greatest in brand eating. My name is Count Donut. Today I'll be speaking to you about the new offering. This is very professional. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:43:39 We don't normally get this kind of shark tank presentation. Yeah, usually you like fly out of our brother's chest. I'm coming to you, I feel a little bit out of sorts, and I'm going to be leaning on you to provide some much needed context for me. Oh, okay. I mean, we'll do what we can. I'm going to share a picture because I think it communicates much more quickly.
Starting point is 00:44:04 This Christmas season, but not yet. This Christmas season, every who down in Whoville will cry out woohoo because they had the Krispy Kremes, no collection. And so could you. There's a mischievous Grinch who likes cookies and cream. Who likes cookies and cream and Cindy Lou who is a Mary Berry dream Our fan faves Santa Belly is back and bursting with cream Did you see Mary Berry like a former judge on Great British Bake Off? Meet Granchy Claws with sprinkles red and green.
Starting point is 00:44:45 We're getting Friday, November 29th for a limited time at participating Krispy Kreme shops. Wait, before you show the image, Count Donut, can I make a guess? Two of them will be like really well detailed and themed. One will be sort of themed and one's like really fondant. A color that is typically associated. Well, how interesting.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Let me submit up a picture of them to see just how far off the mark you could possibly be. Not at all! Yeah. Oh, fuck! The answer is exactly. These shitty donuts made me laugh and then it made my body hurt. That sucks, dude. Santa Belly is a red one with a belt across.
Starting point is 00:45:33 That there's three glazed just for the fucks of it. Yeah. Yeah. Just for that. We all know what that one tastes like, right? Now I do, I am curious, Count Donut, which of these sort of makes you the most kind of hungry, vis-a-vis kind of like consuming the flesh of-
Starting point is 00:45:53 Well, let me, I will answer your question with a quote. And then more talking. It's from Dave Skinner. Oh yeah. Who wants to celebrate Christmas with Krispy Kreme our merry Grinch miss doughnuts are guaranteed to make even the grinchiest grinch smile said Dave Skinner Krispy Kreme global Chief brand officer at Krispy Kreme. You're a sweet one. Mr. Grinch. So guys who is this grinch? Who is the grinch? Okay, okay. Okay. Okay. Who is the Grinch? Who is the Grinch? Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Who is the Grinch? Everyone is- I only know of Santa and then there's a man who looks like him but he's a Grinch! Yeah, okay. I don't think he's a Grinch. I think he's the Grinch. I don't think there's- there's not more than one Grinch.
Starting point is 00:46:42 There's just the one. So, I do think you would actually enjoy this character a lot Count Donut. He lives in solitude. I love this. At the peak of a mountain. He plays an organ. So he's old money.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Try to find a mountain these days. Impossible, he's old money. I love this. He was grandfathered into the mountain. His parents laid him there in an egg he came out of. Rent controlled. So yeah, sort of a rent control, but he plays the organ and he really resents
Starting point is 00:47:14 all of the stupid villagers. Yeah, the commercialism, really. The commercialism, but he also just doesn't like the people very much. He hates Christmas. He does hate that. This is my, what does he do? He commits grand larceny.
Starting point is 00:47:30 He steals the whole fucking town, like he steals the whole town. And now here's the thing, here's the thing. Who apologized? This is a great, this man sounds like, this Grinch, it sounds like a great criminal. Well he is. It's actually pronounced Grinch. Grinch. He this Grinch. It sounds like a great criminal. Well, he is. It's actually pronounced Grinch.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Grinch. Grinch. It's pronounced Grinch. He lies to children. Grinch. He speaks in through. Grinch. This is right. Grinch. Nailed it. Grinch. Grinch. Can you say donkey for me, Count?
Starting point is 00:47:55 Just out of curiosity. Donkey. Yeah. Whoa! That sounded like it was one of those how to pronounce this word videos on YouTube. I used to watch those to fall asleep. Donkey. So there's a lot, there's a lot.
Starting point is 00:48:08 I never know which words would be like that. So the Grinch is written from the point of view. Step stool. From the point of view of who apologists who are like the Grinch don't understand Christmas, the who's really dear, he steals stuff from them, they sing and he learns the true meaning of Christmas. But really, the whole problem was
Starting point is 00:48:28 their houses were filled with dumb shit that they were giving each other and playing with at Christmas, and then he kind of reminds them about the real meaning of Christmas. Wow. The story sounds like a mess. Why does Santa allow him to operate?
Starting point is 00:48:42 Amnesty. He's trying to turn a blind eye. The Grinch is a confidential informant, so he gets away with a lot of stuff because he yarks to the cops. Whoville's also so small that you could fit it on the head of a pen. And so if Santa Claus tried to intervene in any way,
Starting point is 00:49:00 he would absolutely obliterate the entire world that they live on. Cause he's a big- So if I went to Dave's Kenner, Yeah. Krispy Kreme, and I said, David, why are three of the donuts plain? He would say, it's like a Grinch joke.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Yeah. Yes. That's maybe that's what they would tell you is like a hilarious Grinch joke. One of the donuts is also, from what I can see, a chocolate donut with kind of Christmas colored sprinkles. Two of them are this. An absolute like turd of white frosting. And then it appears just like a plastic Grinch on it.
Starting point is 00:49:36 It's probably not plastic, but yes. It's probably, yeah. And you're not gonna tell me that every time you order one of those Christmas tree donuts, that one of their donut technicians is setting down to intricately do a curved perfect Christmas tree every time. Um, that's the job. I am still curious Count Donut, if you want to chomp in- I know you don't like to eat donuts, but one that is a sort of simulation of a man's torso. No, thank you. I would- I feel like the center belly full of goo
Starting point is 00:50:07 is so sad. It's so, it makes me unpleasant to eat it. Would you rather eat the head of the Grinch? I barely know this man now. Get talking to his face. Wait, do you prefer to eat people that you know well? I don't wish to eat any people. I just shrink their blood.
Starting point is 00:50:27 If you eat the people, they don't make more blood. That's beautiful, that's true. Yeah. On December 12th, Krispy Kreme will continue to spread holiday cheer with the return of its annual 12, 12 Day of Dozens. 12, 12, 12 Day of Dozens. Okay, I see, because it's on 12, 12, 12 day of dozens. Okay, I see.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Cause it's on 12, 12. One dollar original glazed dozen when they purchase any dozen regular price. There's no way you're making money on that Krispy Kreme. No way. Unless you're, unless they're just selling sugar and butter in which case they're doing okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Oh, Justin, you're back. Hi. How's it going? Wow, usually there's more fans there. Wow, there's some really delicious donuts on my screen here. Let me click these off, because I'm getting too hungry. Justin, say step stool.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Step stool. Whoa! It's backwards, yeah. I knew it. Do you remember when Justin had that electricity accident? Yeah. And it switched some of his stuff around backwards? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:26 That's one of them. Here's the deal, we'd normally record longer, but it's December, okay? I got senioritis. It gets darker earlier these days. It gets dark early, that means I have less daylight for podcasting, and the show's over. And every time I laugh, it hurts downstairs.
Starting point is 00:51:44 And for some reason, I am extremely sweaty, as though I've been wearing a fur-lined cape. Griffin, I want you to know with that in mind, I've tried to be really not funny, this episode especially. Crushed it, I appreciate that so much. I was really like tamping down. How long ago did you think you got it done?
