This is Griffin. It sounds like you are trying to tell me a little secret. Trying to lean over to class. Oh, see, I thought he was drunk. You're drunk and trying to tell me a little drunk secret. We're at like a family wedding kind of deal

and you're drunk and you're like. Here comes Uncle Justin. Oh, he's gonna tell us something about Aunt Josephine that everybody knows but nobody talks about. Yeah. Because Justin, tell us about it. I got, okay, well, I got a root canal and this is the time that they could get me in

because there's an emergency, because my mouth hurts so bad. Yeah. And this is the time they could get me in, 11 o'clock. Yes. And that was the time that I have to, after that, do my brother, my brother and me here. Oh, so that's where I start to run into issues.

And this is the thing, is, can I tell you something? Yeah. This is the time I do my job. You know what I mean? Like, this is the time I do my job. For sure, for sure. And this is the time when the professionals-

I can't believe, Justin, I can't believe that you would do your job and record my brother, my brother, me at the same time. That kind of split focus. That's weird. No, no, this is my job, Travis. What? This is my brother, my brother, my brother, me.

My brother, my brother, me is my job. So the thing is, and obviously there's nothing implicitly funny about making fun of the way someone talks. I want to say that out loud to acknowledge it. What I'm saying is that the time we record this show is and can be quite flexible. We're your brothers and we love you and we record this bad boy a good five days in advance. I love you too, man.

Thank you so much. I love you too. But it feels to me like you were almost, you sent us a video from the car like, I'm fucked up, let's do this baby. How was it? How was it? No it wasn't. And then it almost seemed like you wanted to do that.

Like you wanted to see what happens. It's not that hard to note, on the job aspect of it, like if you were a pitcher, and you had just gotten some kind of thing done to your arm that made your arm numb, and you're like, put me in coats, I'm ready to pitch. Or if you were a podcaster, and you accidentally glued a kazoo into your mouth, and then you're like, put me in coats, I'm ready to pitch. Or if you were a podcaster and you accidentally

glued a kazoo into your mouth, and then you were like, okay, our podcast doesn't go up for five days. I've got this kazoo in my mouth, we gotta roll, baby. Is Wade Boggs pounds too many bruskies the night before, and then the next morning he's gotta go out. He calls it getting bogged down, please. Yeah. And then the next morning he's gotta go out

and hit home runs, okay? That's when he does his job, do you understand? 11.30 on Wednesdays is when I do my job. It's 12.15. Yeah, I had us a little late because of my root canal. I love you, Hurtrap. I heard and continue to hear your every word. It held me up a little bit

because he was drilling into my tubes. Yeah, I'm just saying. Hopefully a dentist, right? I can't continue to hear your every word. It held me up a little bit because he was drilling into my tubes. Yeah. Hopefully a dentist, right? Tomorrow, Friday, juice for me, wide open, pal. I'm saying this baseball game can play anytime we want it to. But the only reason to reschedule, there's only one reason, is if I can't do my job. At the time I was supposed to do my job and Griffin it's time to go to Like yeah, I didn't have to work right now

I do what I always do when I'm not working I go to my kids school and I'm pulling out I can teach them more than you you people ever could if I didn't have to do my job I do my other job take my kids out of school teach them everything they need to know just then I'm worried my kids are in school That means I'm doing other job, take my kids out of school, teach them everything they need to know. Justin, I'm worried that you're- My kids are in school, that means I'm doing my job right now. Right, right. I'm worried that the numbing has moved beyond your lip and mouth to your brain. Are you okay? To parts of your brain

that exercise restraint. Okay, I mean, it was not the most pleasant experience. So like any dude, yeah. I just feel a little shaken up, you know? Okay, but I also didn't Skype you guys into my vasectomy, right? Like I didn't- No matter how much we asked. I didn't make you a part of that.

I think the difference is for the shows that you missed because of your vasectomy. Right. This is when I do my job. No, no, no, don't say that to end that sentence. That ending doesn't end that sentence. You can't say because of the time you took off your vasectomy, this is when I do my job.

We only have so many. That was the choice that you made for you, right? You used your sick days on that. The choice I made for me was to record the episodes. You used your sick days on that. If I I made for me was to record the episodes. You used your sick days on that. If I may, it was to record the episodes of the podcast that I would have done during the sectomy time at a different time.

Do you know what I mean? That was the choice I made. And you have made a different one today. Okay. Yeah, but when I, when I left, the tooth doctor, my tooth doctor, Dr. Chomp, he said to me, Justin. Hold on, what?

Make him laugh today. Well, you go out there and I did my job, didn't I, Justin? And then he took a big half off of the nitrous that he had. And he was like, you go out there, you did the same thing for them. Yeah, he said, Justin, I'm feeling, I gotta be honest with you, I'm feeling kinda low.

And I was like, that's too, I hate to hear that, Dr. Chomp, and he said, just, I promised him, like, I did my job, right? And I was like, yeah, you did Dr. Chomp. And he said, this is when I do my job, is what he said. He said, well, no, because he had already done it at this point, he had lit his cigarette. Just now, just now was when I do my job.

So he had lit up in the office and he'd been like, that was when I did my job. He's ripping, hold on, this dentist was ripping darts in his own office? I don't know if it's a dentist or not, because my dentist won't do the root canal. So I don't know if this guy's a different guy. Why won't they, are they afraid of it?

It was cosmetic, it was a cosmetic root canal. Yeah, yeah. I was having some neon put in there. Yeah. Well, you just had ugly roots before. I think we can all agree. Yeah, you gotta get your roots done. Your gnarled tooth roots.

I think there's every time when like Dr. Chomp goes to like the therapist and he's like, and my tooth hurts so bad I can't laugh. And the therapist is like, well you gotta go see this amazing dentist. His name is Dr. Chomp. And he says, but doctor, that's the problem. But doctor. I am Dr. Chomp. Yeah. I mean, that's haunting, Trav,

just to hear you put it like that. It has to keep going up, right? Cause if you're the clown pagliacci making the dentist laugh, okay, cool. Now who's taking care of the dentist teeth? You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, who tooth doctors the tooth doctors men, you know really draft killer point man I thought we don't think about this but what life is about community It takes a village to take care of teeth

Trap do you want to speak on this? I see at the top here a Groundhog's Day update slash clarification. Is this a question or is this a breaking news? Or what do we got here? We talked a lot about Groundhog's Day a couple weeks ago, roundabout Groundhog's Day. We got an update from Alexis who lives in Punxsutawney, first of all telling us that the people of Punxsutawney

by and large dislike Groundhog's Day because of the huge flux of groundhog heads who come in and just fill up and take advantage of the city's small infrastructure. But- Did you say they take advantage or you said they hog it? Cause I'd say they- Ooh.

Oh man. But Alexis also shared, there are some very weird things about the holiday that I think you'd enjoy. Such as the Inner Circle, Phil's closest group of pals who make sure he gets the elixir of life every year so he can continue making his predictions. Also, to answer Teresa's question,

because we talked about it on Shrinners 2, the Inner Circle doesn't have to guess if Phil sees his shadow. They ask him directly in Groundhog ease, which only the president of the Inner Circle can understand. Phil and Phyllis have also recently become parents to two little Groundhogs, Sunny and Shadow. I don't need to know about the Groundhog's family.

Everything else he said kicks ass. Well, as far as I know, only Phil and Phyllis give the elixir of life. Okay. Which is heartbreaking. It's nice that they give them to both of them, and it's not just Phil or Phyllis who then have to watch as spous after spouse. Oh, you should listen to the musical

on TikTok about this exact subject because it is heart wrenching. Listen, Alexis, I do have to quibble with one thing. Everyone hates, and Punxsutawney hates that everybody comes in to see the groundhog and do all the Groundhog stuff and then you're like, come closer. It is actually so cool and actually cooler than anybody knows about.

Why are you trying to make it more appealing? Now I definitely, definitely wanna come and see this crazy inner circle and everything. I don't know what the nightlife scene is in Punxsutawney, but I bet if you're in Phil's inner circle, you own that town. You run that shit. You will never buy your own weed

if you're part of the inner circle. No way, someone's got you. How do you think you learn how to groundhog ease? You know, you gotta reach a higher plane. That would be cool if this person, this elected official, I guess, did have a sort of cult of personality about them. Like, yeah, man, one day I ascended the mountaintop.

I claimed the great power within, and now I can speak to groundhogs. So. Oh. But you know that every time that happens, that elected official knows that like he is Still living in the let's call what it is shadow of a great man that like yeah He's high up there, and he's wielding the power But he is the right hand to the true kid to the real yet the groundhog

There must be a moment when that elected official goes to pull Phil out of whatever hutch they keep him in so that he doesn't escape. I don't think they yank, do they yank him? They freeze him, I think. I think they freeze him. They freeze him. I think they freeze him. Between? Between the days,

because they've had the same guy going for a long time. It's the elixir of life. That's the elixir of life. The elixir of life keeps him eternal. But there must be a moment when he goes to pull him out where he thinks like, this bastard. I could, oh, he's gonna take all the limelight from me. But I need him, oh, but I wish I didn't need him.

I'm so jealous that I love him so much at the same time. That's the thing, because he can speak Groundhog, he's the elected Groundhog conduit, knows that Punxsutawney Phil is a real shit head, a real problematic fave, and he wants nothing more than to throw him right on the ground, anytime he pulls him out. But no one will believe him.

If you guys understood some of the shit that Punxsutawney, they pull him out of that hole, and he immediately starts screaming just the worst stuff you've ever heard or imagined. Griffin, you took three years of Groundhoggies in high school, right? Would you say you're fluent? I took three years in high school, and I took one double-credit AP class in college,

which they don't usually offer those. And so, yeah, I mean, I can speak, I can read it, but I can't speak it, which sucks, because they definitely can't write. Yeah, if you found yourself, like if you woke up right now in the middle of like a groundhog Complex of tunnels you can find your way out. Yeah. Yeah, you're with The better hand it to us, right? A lot of shows don't have the guts to go on a full protracted groundhog run a full

Calendar month after groundhog day has passed, But you can't come to us here in March. We are still gonna be on about Groundhogs. Christmas has a long lead up, but Groundhog Day has a long tail. You know what I mean? You gotta remember it. Maybe if we brought him up a bit more, there'd be a bit of accountability.

Maybe if we remembered him in April and we're like, huh, this is weird, it doesn't exactly line up with what you were talking about. Let's check in in May. What do you think, Phil? Or why don't we let him predict other things? Yes, please, God. Why are we just asking him about that one time a year, like is there gonna be more winter or not, right?

Like we all agree on his prognostication abilities, and yet we're not asking him about global markets. We're not asking him about, you know, anything related to like, hey, what's the future look like? Do we need to get on this problem? How are we? And he's just like, asking about winter boys. Justin is just looking more and more impressed

with how much meat we've carved off this old stinky bone. In March. You know what, let's do a question just for old time's sake. much meat we've carved off this old stinky bone. In March, March, Doc. Are you gonna want to do a question, just for old time's sake? Long time transgender listener, first time question asker, I'm gonna be on testosterone soon and plan on doing a weekly vlog where I talk about the changes happening in my body. One I'm really looking forward to is my voice lowering.

Here's my conundrum. I want a cool sentence to be able to say each week to measure how my voice changes. I thought about doing a sentence every, phoneme, like the sound, it's like the sound, but they all sound lame. So I'm coming to the coolest men I know about. I just need a cool sentence, preferably with lots of sounds.

That's from trying to be a cool sentence, preferably with lots of sounds. That's from trying to be a cool cat in Kentucky. What's the one, the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog? Yeah, but that doesn't sound cool. That's typewriter. Oh yeah, because that has every letter in it. Yeah, that doesn't help you.

What's one with a lot of sounds? Well, you know what, Trav? Let me tell you, let me see if I can find one real quick, hold on. A lot of vowels would have to be in there, right? Like, oh man, the beans fell on my foot, ow. Okay. Hey man, the be, hey man, the beans fell on my foot. There's a lot of really good stuff.

Are those your beans or our beans? Does that have to be just one sentence? Could it be a complex short story about beans and the ownership of them? Maybe. Are you doing, are you good juice? He's giving us some phonemes. I told you guys what I was doing,

so I thought we would wait for a second. I was trying to look up a sentence that has all of the And leave dead air what and leave dead air. I said that I was doing it and you guys continued to It's usually when we set up a bit as a question. We joke about the answer instead of saying They said the sentences were not cool, so I was curious what the sentences were and what we had to do better then. Well then maybe we're coming at this

from the wrong direction. Maybe we should start with- It feels that way. We should start with a cool sentence and then add sounds to it. Add sounds to it. Make it funny in a funny way. Don't forget what Dr. Chomp said. Car time, dude. That's ah, I, ooh. Make it okay, but funny in a funny way don't forget what dr. Chard time car time

dude, that's ah I I I It's car time. It's car time. Yeah, it's car. It's car time Baby, baby, baby Do it are I'm little man. Little man. And. Baby man. Ca-r-time man.

That's it, I think. No, I think we're getting hung up on vowel sounds. Yeah. Those are some of them though. I mean, some of them. It's hard cause- We're getting into some pretty experimental audio right now. And I'm here for it.

Man, if we only had a reference point, you know what I mean? If only we had a reference point, you know what I mean? If only we had a reference point for what we had to. It's car time, baby man. Boot that shit up. Boot that baby. Boot that nasty, boot that nasty trunk. Uh, trunk, uh.

Uh, dundo, dundo, dundo. And between this and our two Naming of the Year episodes, this has been our most sort of gruntable season of My Brother, My Brother, Me So Far. I think maybe just the opening line from Tool Time might work, like, it's Tool Time with Tem and Al. It's Tool Time. It's Tool Time.

You know what would be great is you could learn every part of an acapella song, maybe by like the Brown Derbies or something like that. You know what would be great is you could learn every part of an acapella song, maybe by like the Brown Derbies or something like that. You could do Joel's, you could do Joel's fucking Down Easter Alexa, if you so choose. And you learn every part and you start with whichever one feels more comfortable and then you'll hit these thresholds

where it's like, okay, here I go. Down, down, up, nope, it's time to move down a level. And then all of a sudden- Oh, you just gradually harmonize with yourself over time. Oh, yeah, then you can layer them together later. You alto that, yes, and then when you come in, I mean, I don't know how deep it can possibly go, but I've heard some pretty deep voices in my time.

You could get that good baby back ribs. Oh, Griffin. Baby back ribs is good. I want my baby back, baby back, baby back. Cause that gets like lower and I feel like you could kind of test the bounds a little bit. Like you start here.

Definitely. Baby back ribs. And then you go like, barbecue sauce. Like bring it down. Take it how low you can go. But I said learn every part of an acapella song. The first one in my mind

was not the Chili's baby back ribs. That's the only one. The one everyone knows, I guess. All other ones are just kind of iterations on that theme. Go Goodbye My Coding Island Baby. That's one. It's that one and Baby Back Ribs. I'm trying to think of like really cool, like hard ass lines from movies.

An acapella song? Unfortunately, I've- Well, that's Pitch Perfect. Something from Pitch Perfect. Yeah. Is the only acapella movie I can think of. What's like, Trav, what do you think is like a cool movie? Like, what's a cool movie? Yeah, I can just see it.

Doesn't have to be anything cool. I'm just a dog chasing cars. Is it like, do you wanna see a magic trick? But it's not like notably notably low voiced, right? I think it's like, maybe a Ving, that's just pride fucking with you. Maybe you get some, something like that, some Ving Rhames or...

Clancy Brown. He's a notably low voiced. Clancy Brown has a deep, yeah. Oh, Clancy Brown. What's some of your favorite Cortex lines from the Crash Bandicoot games? Oh, that's a good question. How do you choose? Definitely the one I have tattooed across my chest.

Crash Bandicoot, set that wump of fruit down. I'm so disappointed in you. That's a good one, there's a lot of sounds in there. Have you seen that? That might be it. Crash bandicoot said that wumpa fruit. Isn't one of them.

Down. I'm very disappointed in you. I'm very disappointed in you. Maybe it's a threat and you want to see, it's not just the timbre, it's not just the pitch of the voice that is changing, the amount of sort of intense energy you're able to bring to it.

Implied threat. Oh, that's a good one from Tombstone, Johnny Ringo. You look like somebody walked over your grave. Is it cool? Tombstone is always the greatest repository for like, I mean. Well, smoke that, what is it? Skin that smoke wagon is another good one. Skin that smoke wagon, yeah.

Whoa. So it's maybe the most befuddling way to tell someone to draw their gun that you could ever do. Like I think if you did that smoke wagon. I didn't put that together until you said that. If I was in a Wild West duel with the guy, with Val Kilmer, and he said that, I would be like, what?

I would look around for the smokewagon. What do you mean, dude? What do you mean? I got it. Oh yeah. Oh, bow bow bow. Chika chika. Chika chika.

That's so good. It's the funnest thing to do with your mouth basically. And you could do it at the beginning and end of every episode. And if you ran out of things to say in the middle, you could just like bust it out and everybody would be pretty excited to get to hear it. I like that. That's a good one.

Ferris Bueller day off always. Oh, is that what that is? It was, Travis actually. You could get the guy from that song as a guest on your first episode. Crash Test Dummies? Was it Crash Test Dummies who did the, oh yeah? No, I thought you were just talking,

he's like a really low-voiced guy. I just thought you were talking about Crash Test Dummies out of nowhere. I mean, that was like really random. There was this girl. There was this girl. And he murdered her. And he murdered her.

Okay. Am I losing my mind, or have we done a contest on this very show to see which of the three of us can get the lowest on BabyBet first? We're from this episode 752. We've done everything before. We have done all the things. It's not about finding new things,

it's about how do we revisit the questions we've already answered for ourselves. Yeah. Yeah. That's beautiful. It's meditative. It's beautiful, meditative, and kind of lazy. The questions can change, the questions are the same

as the answers that get different. Are you saying we could have just reused the question? It seems like you'd want it to be the other way around. It would be more grammatically and like from an oratorical perspective, it would be more satisfying to put it that way. But no, I don't think it works that way. I recently started a new job and within my first two weeks,

several people there had birthdays. They're apparently a big birthday office and always bring in donuts to celebrate. I personally love donuts, but never ate any that were brought in because I felt anxious of the new job and nothing makes me more uncomfortable than eating from strangers.

Fortunately, about a week later, my birthday came around. I showed up to work expecting to be greeted with donuts, but found they had gotten me a coffee instead. My new co-workers proudly told me they had noticed I don't like donuts. Sorry, I missed a line here. Notice I didn't like donuts and very thoughtfully got me a coffee instead. I was so, it was so kind of them and they were so excited to have gotten me something that I liked that I didn't want to correct them and I just played along.

Now I'm getting more comfortable around them and they brought in more donuts today. I want to eat one, but I didn't know how to break it to them that I actually do like donuts. Brothers, how can I start eating donuts at work without seeming like I lied about being a donut hater? That's from Donut Lovers Dilemma. And man, this one doesn't feel like any fault of your own. A lot of times people come to us and we can tell them they've already messed up. I don't, this wasn't a mess up. Like this seems like an actual,

people will find like an actual new problem. This is not what I've heard about before. This is original. This is original, good job. I think that there's a way to use this to actually be a beneficial in this situation. You're going to tell them, the next time there's donuts, you're gonna say,

can I be honest, guys? I guess it's just that I've never tried donuts before. Okay, I've been too scared. So I'm nervous. Oh, okay. I haven't had the right group of people to help me get through that journey. But if you guys wanna do a little team building right now.

I just don't know where to start with donuts. And then they're gonna be so excited to share donuts with you. You're probably gonna get more donuts than if you had just started eating donuts to begin with. Cause then you can have one donut and be like, I've been missing out my whole life I could have been having this

Yeah, and then they're gonna be so excited to share donuts with you. Yeah, and you'll get to eat like a hundred donuts You'll be living good. Can you? Can you walk into the kitchen where the donuts are and pick one up and be like, oh sweet whole buns and People are like what and you say these, whole buns. And people are like, what? And you say, these are whole buns, the buns with holes in them. What are my favorite foods? Bun holes, one of my favorite foods.

And they're like, that's donuts. And you say, this is donuts? I like this. I like these. I thought these were whole buns. You're saying these are donuts? I like those a lot, actually. Maybe you could go to someone the next time

there's donuts and say, I was just curious who I paid the money to to join your donut club. Then I'm assuming there's some sort of donut. I know, well, I was never invited, but I really like to get into donut clubs. So if I could sign up somewhere or something like that to get in on donut club. Or like, so how much is it to eat a donut? I haven't had any cash with me

Try to buy one. Yeah Like I finally remembered to bring money on donut day. I have three dollars Is that enough for a donut? Is that enough for a donut? Do you take apple pay? I'll probably make you the boss. You do you do apple pay for donut? I can Venmo. I can Venmo, I've set it up today. I have two dollars, can you cut one in half? What do you go for? What do you go for to give the appearance

of your first donut? Because the easy sell is you walk in and be like, you know what, fuck it, I'm gonna try eating a donut. And then you walk over. Do you go with one that has like, fucking rice- What if you like, maybe you try an Eclair and you're like, you know what? I like this so much. Maybe I've been wrong about donuts this whole time.

Like I'm gonna give donuts another shot. Cause I like, I tried the Eclair that you guys brought in and actually liked this. And if donuts are anything like Eclairs, I think I could really get into it. Here's the problem though, J-Man. that you guys brought in and actually like this. And if Dunnets are anything like Eclair's, I think I could really get into it. Here's the problem though, J-Man. I think if you take a bite,

you've never had donuts before in this cafe, right? And you take a bite of an Eclair and you don't act at least a little shocked that there's something inside of it. So you're like, they didn't fully cook this one. It's raw in the middle. Look at it gooping out. You gotta, I think you'd have to play it up big

to be surprised that there's stuff inside it. Yeah. For them to buy the story. Pick up a powdered sugar donut, and by the end of it, be a mess. Be an absolute mess. Start coughing a lot. And they'll be like, that has to be the first time

that they have eaten a powdered donut, because there's some tech to it that you do need to practice. Pick up a powdered donut and ask them for a wet nap to clean it off so you can eat it. This one's all dusty. This one's all dusty. I think it's really old.

Can we clean this donut off so I could try this one? This donut's covered in small colorful pills, and I don't know why I'd eat that. It seems like it would make me pretty sick. So they're sprinkles. Okay. I'm fired. Okay, yeah, I get that.

I am fired. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These are the doughnut factory. Okay, cool, thank you. Before we go to the money zone, can we talk about some recent communique we received from our father, Clint McElroy. My daddy's a gamer.

He may, maybe only just Elden Ring for the past three years or however long that game has been out, but he's a real gamer. He has all the video game consoles and night, he texts the three of us and says, do any of you know why this keeps happening to my Xbox? Can I pause real quick, Griffin, before you keep going? You have to know context-wise, we get texts like this about things related to computers and his tech setup constantly.

This was intentional and sincere. Yeah, this wasn't, our dad is not pulling punks on us. This is a real thing that happened. Are you pulling it out? I think that if I have, hold on, I'm gonna see if I can, for posterity's sake. Yeah, so exact wording here, this keeps happening to my Xbox, any ideas?

And then the image that he did also send to us is the welcome splash screen for the PlayStation 5. It says at the top of the screen, welcome back to PlayStation 5. It does say that on the screen. And then dad sends that image and it says, this keeps happening to my Xbox, any ideas. And even there's nothing clearly indicated outside

the fact that it's a PlayStation on Xbox that he could be talking about what's wrong. Yeah. The issue is not immediately inherent. Yeah. What advice did he think we could give about your Xbox showing PlayStation shit? Well.

How close is your Xbox to your PlayStation, man? It might be bleeding over. Plug your phone. Some cross contamination might be happening here. Plug your phone into the Xbox. We will integrate with the systems and we're gonna patch through an update that should get you taken care of.

We're gonna need to get you a little reboot guy in there and he's gonna take care of this right now. Be a great prank to play on one of your Sony crony friends. Yeah. Or one of these fucking- Like you boot it up and it's like, oh my God. And then you rush to cover the screen like, oh no, nobody looked. I would never.

But all your Sony crony buddies are there. They're kicking your ass. It's too late, they're already beating your ass into the ground. I should have followed up on this to see if Dad ever figured out what the problem was, we just kind of razzed on him and didn't ask what he meant, so I should have followed up.

What if it turns out that this was his Xbox, and that's why he's reasonably, he's reasonably perplexed by this message. And we were like, no, you stupid dumb shit. And he's like, okay, then I don't know. This is the same guy that restarted Elden Ring like four times, because it would just mysteriously like get deleted.

It's something like, it's untenable. I understand struggling with tech stuff as you get older. It's already happening to me. There's some tech stuff that I'm like, I don't get it. But it is 2025. I feel like everyone should have gotten the net about the input function of the TV remote control. We have so many buttons on there

that give you instantaneous access to TV channels TV channels TV Channel no one uses fucking any of those anymore They use one button that makes it switch between all their other shit that they so input button That's got to be on the the freshman level curriculum. I feel like I Absolutely Only button hey, let's let's take a brief break. And then when we come back, we will do more of this. How's that sound?

More of the same. But different. Oh! And more. And more. ["It's Better With You"] You know, everybody, I'm ready to admit it is a bit hard for me and I'm just ready to admit it. I need glasses or some sort of corrective lenses to see.

Wow, Trav. I know. So bold, dude. Yeah. People see me in glasses and they think what a cool, stylish, fashionable person. But it's not a just- Griffin walked out. Griffin walked out in the corner. He walked out when I said it.

Because he's so embarrassed. Yeah, when I said I have to wear glasses and he was like, my brother, a nerd? And he walked out. But I've been able to hide it all these years because when people see me wearing glasses, they're like, so stylish, so fabulous. It must be that he is a stylish, refashionable person

and not just someone whose eyes are shaped wrong and his cones and rods are all messed up. But that's what it is.

Okay, okay. It's not perfect just different vision Yeah, me and Travis didn't choose to have different vision and then record the podcast. Do you know what I mean? This is a choice?

I'm old enough, I can handle it. You're ready for the truth? Well, I'm sorry, Travis, but the mailman has not been taking the envelopes where I ask him to because he likes me so much is because I've been putting stamps on them. What? I've been cheating the system. I've been slipping him these little pieces of paper

and in exchange, he will take the letter wherever I wanna go. But- It's a life hack, I see. Cool. I know, but I found a way to make it even easier.

Okay. Da la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la. I want a munch. Squaw! Squaw! Do do do do. I want to munch. Squawd.

It's do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. Welcome to Munch Squad, it's a podcast of the podcast. That's how the beat'll sound. Oh! Oh, okay. I was about to say, the Munch Squad, it's a podcast of the podcast. That's how the Beatles sound. Oh! Oh, okay. I was about to say, the Munch Squad intro is I think a good thing to do to test out lower, newer voices.

It has a lot of really cool stuff that you can hear. It covers eight octaves. Yeah, sure. This is a different kind of one than what we would normally do, because normally we're profiling the movers and shakers in the fast food industry. And today I just, I learned some a few weeks ago,

and it's been going around in my head a lot ever since I saw this factoid being reported by my friend Fishboy on TikTok. Okay, hit us with it, Big Munch. You ready? Yeah. Ringo Starr's never had pizza. Wait.

According to who? Ringo Starr, talking to Jimmy Kimmel, said, with pizza, you don't know what you're putting in at half the time, he said he's never had a pizza. Those two thoughts existing in the same head is, I've never had pizza, and also, you can't trust what people are putting in pizza these days. Those two thoughts seem insane to be held together in a marriage, in a union.

This is where I feel like I want to be. This is, he says about food sensitivities. So I understand that. And I feel like if any podcast has been at the forefront of food insativity acceptance, it is my brother, my brother and me. This is an absolute safe place for people with food intolerance. Yeah.

Did you see how he didn't do the tummy buddy time motto? Yeah, that was for that exact reason. Perfectly safe space. So he says it's about onions and garlic and other spices that he's allergic to. And my man, just make one without that. It is pizza, baby. Just make one.

Yeah, it's a circle with sauce and cheese and you don't even honestly need those. It don't need to be circle. it don't gotta got sauce or cheese. It's the loosest conceptual arrangement of food. Do you guys ever find yourself saying an opinion or something without thinking about it, and it's a real bold and brassy thing where you're like, oh, I don't care for mustard. Like I hate mustard, right?

And then people are like, oh man, really? Why? And then you think about it after you said it and you're like, I mean, I don't hate mustard. I just don't hate it. But now you're like locked in and you said it. Is it possible that Ringo Starr was thinking about like he couldn't remember the last time he had pizza?

Hey, hey, hey. It came out wrong. Hey, let me help. Oh, OK, good. I'd do it in a second. The fans will dig it. They've waited long enough. I've just got to get the other lads to agree.

I think I can convince them. I'll say, last, but not last. To eat our pizza, crust first. Good idea, we don't want to. Stuffed crust pizza from Pizza pizza with cheese bacon. Hmm. You'll want to eat it crust first now with free garlic dipping sauce wrong, let's large design So yeah, that's a fucking wildest thing. I've ever seen but he doesn't take a bite He doesn't take a bite of the pee pee doesn't take a bite he doesn't take a bite of the people he

doesn't think of fight that's a hundred percent true but like Ringo what are you selling me do what are you selling that was you can't the whole thing of your commercial can't be gotta get the lads back together when two of the lads are dead yeah that's why I'll can begin with this at this point I think just one lad would be dead. But you are right that he was quite dead. You're still not dead. He died a month to the day after I was born,

so I know he was dead. All I'm saying is, if you review the footage, he never takes a bite of the pizza. He didn't eat any of the pizza. Yeah, Trapp, I 100% agree with that. And I'm not trying to be like, gotcha, you did take a bite. Because this is what Fishboy said in his TikTok too, which is very true.

It is him endorsing pizza. Yeah, yes. As a concept. He is saying like, Pizza's got my seal of approval. Mine are the pizza. And now he's telling Jimmy like, You don't know if pizza's really messed up, I won't eat.

Just what is it? What a nasty impression though. What a nasty thing to not eat pizza Griffin. He'd be like, you don't know with pizza, it's really messed up, I won't eat. Just what is it? What a nasty impression though. What a nasty thing to not eat pizza Griffin. A spiteful impression I would say, Justice. A spiteful nasty spirited impression. Can I say though, it's normally much more openhearted, but there's the numbness.

Yeah. I've lost some of the lip control. Did he say that he was allergic to things in the pizza? Or just say you don't allergic to things in the pizza? Or just say you don't know what's in there? The reporting from People Magazine is, I'm alert, I've never had a pizza or a curry. I'm allergic to several items.

With pizza, you don't know what you're putting in half the time or the curry. So I'm pretty strict with myself because it makes me ill immediately. I fully understand that. I fully, fully get that. But curry is again, a pretty loose food zone that you could- Yeah, but I could believe that because the thing is the pizza that I try to wrap my mind around, the number of times that I have been places or events or hanging out with people and by no Action of my own there has suddenly been pizza there and I'm eating it without really thinking about it

And here was a young man who must have done so many as I believe they're called gigs And yeah different places in like the 60s to people must have been thing at different places in like the 60s, touring, doing things. People must have been throwing, throwing pizzas at the Beatles. This is what I'm saying, there must have been so much incidental pizza in the Beatles' experience.

Yeah. That you're telling me at every turn, he was consciously avoiding it, even from a young age to be like, I don't know what shit's in there. Yeah. And listen, he did a lot of drugs with all the other guys, right? The guys did a lot of drugs.

And we're really certain that at no point anybody was like, guys, it's 3am, right? I just got this new thing from the States. They're calling it pizza. Wait, Mick Jagger's there? Yeah, me and Keith love it. You boys gotta try it too. Holy shit. Hello, it's me, David Bowie. Have you heard of the American invention of pizza? It's quite And I'm Andy Warhol.

Aflac! I love this shit. You gotta eat it. Well it's quite luxurious, isn't it? And listen, I know we got, we got people from all over the spectrum of neurodivergence who listen to and create these programs. And I want to say, I know there's other reasons that people avoid food. He didn't fucking say that. He said he's allergic. So I'm saying make pizza without the say that. He said he's allergic.

So I'm saying make pizza without the things that you're allergic to, Ringo. Please, for the love of God. At this point, the man's in his 80s. It's just to keep the streak alive. And I'm saying get one in there, Ringo. If he puts down a piece of bread and puts down some sort of allumin-free red sauce on there and like a slice of

of cheddar and then he puts that in the toaster oven for a minute and a half on blast and then takes that and eats it. Can we say Ringo, you've done it, you've done it, now you've had pizza, you've done it? Yes. That's all it is. But can I make my stance clear here, boys? Yeah, please. If he had said in this interview,

the first time I tried pizza, I had a severe allergic reaction to it, and I've never eaten it again, I would say 100%, I believe that that's true. He told me once, pizza. Shame on you. Right, you, but. But the idea that without ever trying pizza, he's just always, always had the awareness of like,

I will never. I will not ever eat pizza, ever. That's. And it's also, I think, an interesting, if we can send jokes out of the room for a second, I think it's also an interesting example of the role that privilege can play in our lives, right? Because if I had tried to live a pizza-less existence,

I wouldn't have made it through the past week without it causing severe strife in my friends and family. How? Like it would have been a major issue, like almost immediately. How challenging would life be if you were like Ringo Starr and for Ringo Starr, every pizza is a tombstone pizza. I'm not gonna, let's read another question

because like legitimately we're not gonna say anything funnier than that. We might have never said anything funny. My D&D group wants to start hanging out outside of campaign sessions, which is great. Problem is they wanna do an escape room. All of them are reportedly very good at the activity. Our DM even used to work in an escape room.

Brothers, I am terrible at escape rooms. So I guess the thing I'm asking for is escape room hacks to impress my friends. Failing that, how do I keep my cool and have a good time? That's from No Sherlock in New Hampshire. Oh boy. You know what's not appreciated in escape room group dynamics?

What's that Travis? The hype person. The person who's- There's a lot of it, yes. That's a lot? The hype person. With that person who's- There's a lot of it, yes. A lot of morale management that does that. Well, cause everyone, when you do an escape room, everybody wants to be the hero. Everybody wants to put the pieces together.

Everybody wants to do the final twist of the thing. Having somebody who's like, you're solving the shit out of that puzzle, Derek, would be amazing. I could never do what you'd, no, I wouldn't like that. I need someone to get in there when I get too cranky because I'm stumped, but I don't want a hint. Oh, somebody who brought GORP

to keep your blood sugar levels up maybe? Snacks would be good, yeah. I'll never say no to that. I have a kind of a patented escape for rib system, right? And I would highly recommend it. I do not break the bank, intellectually speaking, and I'm in circles of people that run circles around me in the brain.

Wait, sorry, what? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what you talking about? We all have our strengths, right? I can bake and do what's, like, whatever, you know, like. And like, I'm physically strong and incredibly intelligent. And charismatic. And talented.

And talented, yeah. Don't forget. And I'm... And good at escape rooms. And charismatic and talented. And talented, yeah. Don't forget. And I. And good at escape rooms. And I'm. You're no one to keep quiet. Oh, that's a huge skill.

But anyway, at the escape rooms, I'm not a smart person, so I kind of hang back, right? And I'm watching. Not a very nice person either. I was kidding about that, Griffin. You're like super smart. It's too late. you guys both do a good job. I hang back I'm like kind of a sniper and I look like I'm like thinking about all of it Yeah, and then I wait for my moment when something maybe occurs to me and I don't say anything, right? Yeah, and

then eventually I'll do like one thing and it'll seem like and then eventually I'll do like one thing and it'll seem like, you know what I mean? Like I've just been waiting for, but the thing is I'm actually not computing anything that is happening. I'm just kind of like looking at where the action is and just kind of like being happy that people can figure it out

because it's, I can't keep up with it. That's very good. You could also, if you end up finding a black light, a little black light flashlight, being the black light person. Oh, that's a good one. Or write down person. Or write down person solid.

Hold the flashlight person. Be the person who goes, did we ever figure out what's going on with this key? Right? Just like keep reminding everybody all the things you haven't figured out yet. I will tell you guys honestly, but I spent a lot of time in escape rooms doing it,

as I'm a big organized props that were already used. I spent a lot of time in escape rooms doing it, is I'm a big organize the props that were already used. I like to put them into like used and not used piles, you know, like to sort the piles. I could do that. I'm not just sorting piles. You know, I can remember which things we've used and not used.

A lot of places won't tell you this, but they don't like screen for it or anything, but you can bring some props with you that if it turns out is part of the thing, like bring a powerful magnet, bring a black light. A bolt cutters. Bring some bolt cutters, bring an airsoft gun, bring a compass, bring-

A big drill. A drill, like a knife to get out of a place. Yeah, your own door. Bring some C4 charges to blow the door. Bring five cans of different sizes. And a container of water. One thing that I might try is you stand near the door. There's usually a light switch there, right?

And a lot of times in these escape rooms, the lights go off and a secret is revealed. So what I would do is wait till halfway through the escape room when no one is thinking about it. Be like, hey guys, what about this? And then you flip the lights off, right? If there's a secret revealed, brilliant. Turn the lights back on. Everybody's like, oh my God, how'd you do it?

If there's no secret, you just open the door and leave. Yeah. You don't, you're gone, right? The lights are off and you disappear. Cause you can't, you're not gonna see. Yeah, you're Yeah. You don't, you're gone, right? The lights are off and you disappear. Cause you can't. Now there's a new mystery. Yeah, you're embarrassed. You don't wanna stay there, so you leave.

Yeah. You could also try to convince them that they've actually been in an escape room for a really long time. Longer than they think they have been since they walked in. So you could say like, you're all trying to stop the bomb from Dr. Bloodknife and

you can be like everyone's stumped and you'd be like guys I think that we've been in Dr. Bloodknife's hideout since we entered this building and the person working outside who told us not to smash all the furniture and smash all the lights and absolutely tear all the wires out of the wall was one of Dr. Bloodknife's minion or perhaps Dr. Bloodknife himself. So we need to start demolishing this place because that was a feint, that was a lie, and it's time for us to get serious about these. I think the most heartbreaking part of Dr. Bloodknife's backstory is how his intention was to do good and work with doctors without borders and stuff.

But then anytime anything evil would happen, they'd be like, well, it must be Bloodknife. His name's Bloodknife. And he's like, that's just my name. That's just a family name. That's what made him so nasty and made him set up the family. Yeah, eventually he had to be evil because of that.

And you're in an experiment. You are in an experiment of one of Dr. Bloodknife's experiments. And the way to escape is kindness, to have some faith in humanity and believe that Dr. Bloodknife isn't responsible for it. And that's the real escape is through Jesus Christ. Wow, did not expect that turn.

Get him saved, slip the cashier a Twatsky and be like, can I get some Nintendo power helpline on the escape from Dr. Bloodknife? The person who breaks the hint kind of barrier, because everybody wants to ask for all the hints all the time, but they don't wanna be the person who says, should we get a hint? And being the person who is both strong enough,

but willing to appear weak enough to say like, I think we should get a hint. Travis, that's so funny you say that. I have never heard someone ask for a hint where the tone is anything other than like, I'm kind of getting a vibe in the room. Like we're starting to kind of maybe want to get a hint. Like no one's ever been like, I don't know. I don't know.

I'm way behind. I'm't know. I'm way behind. I'm lost. I got nothing figured out. I'm getting tired and cranky. You could establish yourself as like the hint controller and you stand in front of the hint button and you say, if you want a hint, you're gonna have to fight me for it.

And then people are really gonna feel like- The bully, the bully of the team. The bully of the group. And then that way, people are gonna feel like- We're so close. We really need to grind on this. We can't, I don't wanna have to fight our friend in order to get the hint.

But what they don't know is you're just leaning back against the button every 10 seconds and then you're whispering out whatever you hear. Yeah. Right? And you're like, I think it's this guys. And they're like, whoa, Derek knows everything about this thing. Yeah. But you got an inside man.

Hey, thank you so much for listening to our podcast. We hope you've enjoyed yourself. And thank you to Justin McElroy today for doing his job, even though he didn't feel like it and he didn't want to do it. His brothers insisted and he did it anyway, because that's how, that's what a professional does. That's what a pro does.

You're welcome, Doc. Proud of you. Thank you again to everybody who came out to Tampa and Jacksonville. We've got more tour dates announced for the 20th Thunder Drive Tour. We're coming to Virginia, North Carolina, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio.

That's real America. Yeah, and well, Ohio is where I live. So I just have a lot of reference for it, which is nice. All the Adventures Zone shows are going to be different versions of Taz versus. We just did one down in Tampa and it was an absolute blast. I mean, I was sick, but I still did a great job because I'm a hero too.

Yeah, that's right. That's right. A lot of bravery. Tickets are on sale now for those shows. More info and ticket links are available at bid.ly slash McRoy Tours. Go get those tickets now and go ahead. We only got like I think two or three packages left

for Champions Grove. If you haven't gotten those yet, go to championsgrove.com and get those now. Got some new merch. We got a Vesecticon hoodie designed by Evan Palmer that I absolutely adore. A hot dog man drains you dry if you know you know pin from the most recent run of Monster Factory.

A bunch of stuff over at MacCreadyMerch.com. You'll like it. 10% of all merch proceeds this month will be donated to Harmony House, which helps to end homelessness in the Huntington area through permanent housing and supportive service programs. I also want to say something I'm incredibly excited about. We're partnering with kinship goods. It's a release of shirt designed by Pepper raccoon. It's at Pepper raccoon on Instagram. They are a West Virginia based company who I love very much.

And we have many of their, uh, many of their things, uh, clothes and stickers and stuff like that. And I had the idea for a shirt celebrating, um, the birth of Huntington because Huntington West Virginia was born when Carlos P. Huntington was given a traffic ticket or a parking ticket for parking his horse in a Holderby's Landing. And they said, you gotta pay the traffic ticket. And he said, I'm about to like build a whole thing here.

And they said, you still have to pay the ticket, man. And he said, fuck you, I'm building my own town. So the shirt is, it says, born of spite. It's so sick. It's a sick ass shirt. Such a sick shirt. You can go to kenshipgoods.com slash McElroy and go check it out and get it now.

Thank you to Kinship Goods for partnering with us and all the amazing stuff that they make that I wear all the time. Thanks to Montane also for the Ysera theme song, My Life is Better with You. It's a slammer. It's a fucking ripper. And don't forget, if you have a faster than fear

You would like us to read at the end of the episode email that in with faster than fear in the subject line Justin Do we have one right now? Will you read it, please? Yeah, Travis. I'd be happy to man this year I'm gonna stop being afraid of a train chasing me through the woods like and wrongfully acute a fear that Has haunted me for 25 years amazing like and wrongfully acute a fear that has haunted me for 25 years. Amazing. So many wonderful things in this world. My name is Justin McElroy.
