Starting point is 00:00:00 The McElroy brothers are not experts and their advice should never be followed Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening What's up, you cool, baby? One, two, three, four! It's the start of something beautiful A small acquaintance has blossomed It's ripened into a precious friendship I could have never seen what was coming for me Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach
Starting point is 00:00:39 My life, it feels like It's better it's better It's better it's better It's better it's better, it's better with two. My life, ah, it's better with you. Hello everybody, welcome to My Brother, My Brother, Me, an advice show for the modern era. Hold on one second before I start. Hey, Sid. Sid.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Sid, I gotta do the podcast, babe. Can you take the, thanks. Thanks. My gum. I gotta do the podcast, babe. Can you take the, thanks. Thanks. My gum. What up, Travis? Gotta catch my gum. Yeah, get away from me. Your foley was so on point there, Michael Winslow,
Starting point is 00:01:30 that we got exactly what the goof. Yeah. Vroom, vroom, what up, TravNation? It's me, your miller's brother, Travis Big Dog, wolf, wolf, mackerel. Ugh, oh, your gum! You missed, Sidney! Oh, joke!
Starting point is 00:01:40 Oh, oh, sorry, it got stuck in my throat. And I hate everybody, and the m's me, Griffin McElroy, the youngest brother. Hold on, let me run this through the AI voice enhancer. Hey, everybody, it's me, Griffin McElroy, the youngest brother, Bill Ford Tough. So do you guys not know about his AI, about Adrian capital A and I in his first name Brody?
Starting point is 00:02:04 You don't know about that? Sorry, no, I didn't know about that. He wins best actor. Okay. Gets up there, spits gum, throws at wife. Weird, wild choice that he made. He wins best actor. We find out that from the editor of the film, I believe,
Starting point is 00:02:20 that they used AI to enhance the Hungarian accent of the actors in the film. I didn't know you could do that. I think, let's toss a fucking asterisk up there on that. You know how they raise the jerseys up inside of the, you know, Kodak party hall or wherever they hold the Oscars? Raise one up there, asterisk next to Mr. Brody's name,
Starting point is 00:02:43 I think, it's only fame. I will say this, as one of the three brothers, the only one of the three that got a degree in acting from fame school, being able to do acting is like, do accents is like a big part, one of the major things. It's cheating, cause I don't know what he sounded like on the set.
Starting point is 00:03:06 He could have been like, hi, I'm Adrian Brody. I love designing arcades. I know fucking nothing about the Brutalist. I know fucking nothing about the Brutalist, but I could win an Oscar if you run into enough fucking filters. It's not like doing, it's not like doing, see, you know, doing some computer graphics
Starting point is 00:03:25 to make it look like Superman's flying. I don't expect an actor to be able to do that. But, a accent? A accent. A accent? The one thing we should know about Adrian Brody that we learned from SNL is you cannot give this man a microphone. You cannot give this man a microphone. You cannot give this man a microphone.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Or apparently gum or a partner. Or room to breathe. You can't give this man space because if you let him follow his gut, it's gonna take him to some odd places. Some odd dark valleys. No Jamaican accents this time, but still some like- Although it is possible,
Starting point is 00:04:02 he showed up day one of filming for The Brutalist and he was like, time to design a city skyline, but in a terrible Jamaican accent that I won't even do as a joke. And the director was like, what the fuck's he, it's okay, we'll AI it. We'll AI it for some reason. The only accent I have.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Yeah, and then Adrian Brody was like, it's not taking work away from anybody. Adrian, it's taking work away from you, man. It's taking work away from you. It's taking your work away, Adrian, it's taking work away from you, man. It's taking work away from you. It's taking your work away, Adrian, that you had to do for the film. Also, Wildest Day is not taking work away from anyone, when I'm pretty sure that there are very talented actors
Starting point is 00:04:35 out there who could do a Hungarian accent. It's like if I showed up, if I showed up at a restaurant and I said, I'd like to be chef now, I'm very charismatic. And they said, you are very charismatic. Do you know how to chop things? And I said, no, can you get a chopping robot to do it for me? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Why didn't we just get a chef who knows how to chop things? Now, how do we feel about the, turn that music off. I know what I'm doing. Let me finish my speech. It's not my first rodeo. How do we feel about the, turn that music off. I know what I'm doing. Let me finish my speech. It's not my first rodeo. How do we feel about that? Cause a lot of the elements of his presentation that evening were pretty rowdy
Starting point is 00:05:14 in a way that I found was caseful. I feel like it's such an incredible read. I think it's such an incredible read at this time on earth to say, no, don't let the globe keep a turning right now. Lord, please let us slow down and just appreciate the Adrian of it all. For just a few more minutes, please God, let us just marinate in this Adrian Brody focused moment.
Starting point is 00:05:46 It's been a long time since we as a globe have stopped. And you know what, of all the things that we could do right now, Adrian, you're right. We all should give it a little bit longer to just really stew in the Adrian Brodiness of the moment. I bet that the production staff of the Oscars was so thrown because no one's ever asked to not play the music and give them more time before. So they were probably like, whoa, he asked guys, we should turn the music off and let him keep talking.
Starting point is 00:06:16 We didn't realize he was still going or we wouldn't have started the music. It's definitely happened before, but this time was. What? Yeah, I mean, it's Hollywood. This time it meant something, because it's Adrian Brody, guy. Do you know how hard, do you guys know how long
Starting point is 00:06:30 he has had to work to get back to this point again, where he is once more being honored for being the best actor in the world? Do you know how hard he's had to fight to make this happen yet again for himself? What is it about Tim Chalamet that I can still feel bad for him when he loses the Oscar? He's 15 years old, he's in all of the best picture nominees. He's wearing bright yellow.
Starting point is 00:06:58 He's wearing bright yellow, he's got 800 bajillion dollars. He's funny and charming, like he seems to just be like a genuinely nice human being He knows about sports which Tim to me that was where you lost me. That was a bridge too far I think the thing why is it that I still when he gets passed over for an Oscar in like, ah, man Tim everybody feels comfortable referencing Timothee Chalamet. Everybody, like, I felt like every joke, every speech, every bit, they're like, he's got a great last name that's fun to say in a bit.
Starting point is 00:07:34 So funny. And look at him. Everybody knows who Timothee Chalamet is. So everybody's referencing him. Wait, stop for a second right there. I think that what you just said is actually so important. And I do actually wanna stop and touch on this for a second right there. I think that what you just said is actually so important. And I do actually wanna stop and touch on this for a second. Hang a lantern on it. Timothy, we are living in an increasingly
Starting point is 00:07:52 fractious world and nation. There seems to be obviously we wave bye bye to the mono culture long ago. And we are now in a more fractious period of culture where we're not really united. No. I will say this, and I'm probably not telling you anything you don't know,
Starting point is 00:08:09 but I will say this. I feel like through his participation in Dune, and in the Bob Dylan movie. And Wonka. And Lady Bird. And, okay, no, but the other ones. Oh, okay. I feel like maybe- You heard it, hey Tim, did you hear that?
Starting point is 00:08:31 You sucked shit in Wonka and Lady Bird. What I'm saying is like, we used to have this idea of movies that would appeal to everybody. Yes. We used to have this idea. That's gone. What I'm saying is, Timothy Chalamet may be the only person that everybody knows, right? Like, it may be the one thing that like generationally,
Starting point is 00:08:52 we all kind of know who Timothy Chalamet is. And I would say generationally, he probably has like favorable approval ratings. You know what I mean? Like I'm saying, I wanna cling to those things that we can all still agree on, and I pray that, I just hope and pray, even if he shall may, may continue to be that little strand, you know?
Starting point is 00:09:13 We need him. I would make them, to your point, Justin, I think parents, grandparents, children alike can get together and they could just start listing off names of people that they have some frame of reference for. And I think- Travis, I'm sorry. Just listing off names of people, end of sentence.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Yes. And Timothy Chalamet would be the only one that all three would be like, well, yeah. I know who that is. They're gonna rename the Venn diagram the Timothy Chalagram, because it's just, that's what he is. It's just like, that's all it represents.
Starting point is 00:09:45 He's the one unifying thing that we can all like, yeah, like Timothy Shaller, you guys know about him. And everybody's like, mm-hmm, but he doesn't get an Oscar. Doesn't need one. Yeah, but doesn't need one. And also, can I say, Travis, I don't know if the Oscar upsets this delicate, delicate balance that Tim has established, right? Like I can't risk, maybe we need him to be an underdog.
Starting point is 00:10:11 You know, maybe we need him to be fighting for acceptance. Maybe like that's the thing that pushes him over out of relatability. He somehow managed to maintain it. And like maybe that would be the breaking point. He's away with crossover appeal. If he gets too many accolades, all of a sudden now he's big time.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Like Tom Hanks. Like Tom Hanks, now he's big time chops. Yeah, Tom Hanks won like 16 Oscars in a row or something. And then everyone was like, yeah, okay. Joe versus volcano. Cloud Atlas. Cloud Atlas. That's another Oscar winning performance.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I don't think he won for Cloud Atlas. Cloud Atlas, that's another Oscar winning performance. I don't think he won for Cloud Atlas. We all won. We all won with that movie. In a lot of ways. It was like nine movies. If you were on a cruise during this Oscars, how did you intake the Oscars this year?
Starting point is 00:10:58 How did you catch up with Oscarvania? Last night when I got back. Last night when I got back. And it when I got back, and it was sucked guys, because I'll tell you why everyone was talking about Adrian Brody throwing his gum at his wife and everyone was talking about, but they were talking about it in a way where it was like, we already talked about Adrian Brody throwing his wife gum. We didn't get, we didn't though. And Griffin, it's still, I think worth that Adria Birdie before you went up to do his big speech is like...
Starting point is 00:11:27 Before getting a lot of honor and recognition, decided to spread that honor and recognition around by chucking his chewed-ass gum. Chewed-ass gum, who I heard on the rest of the entertainment, she said that it... She called it like it was a wedding bouquet. Which I think is pretty brutal. You're the next Oscar. I heard that there was spooky music played for some reason during the Immemorial segment,
Starting point is 00:11:52 which I haven't heard of seem, but that sounds good. Yeah, it was like a weird dirge. Yeah. Cool. I'm into that. See, that's, put a little, it's not about melancholy for me. That moment should be a warning. It should be a grounding moment of clarity
Starting point is 00:12:05 for everyone in that theater of like, enjoy these honors, enjoy your flowers, because you know. You never know, you never know. I'll say there were some twists and turns in that in memoriam. Some people came up and it was news to me. There was a couple of those that hit me.
Starting point is 00:12:21 I hate when they throw twists in there. Rob Lowe was, there are quotes Roblo said, every time in a movie or TV show, I open a door and smile, I always wonder if that's the clip they'll use for the immemorial. Yeah, so I was like, I mean, I'm late to the party. Everybody is so fucking tired of talking about this shit,
Starting point is 00:12:40 which sucks because it's been the first 12 minutes of content in this episode of podcasting. But we're here now. And I got it out of my system. I thank you boys. You guys are my outlet. At my school, a bathroom was just shut down because a kid drew too many penii on the walls.
Starting point is 00:12:58 I think you're the only ones who can answer the pressing question. How many penises must be drawn in a high school bathroom for it to be shut down? Is there a certain limit you can have before it gets to be too much? What is the proper punishment for this crime? That's from In Distress in Indiana,
Starting point is 00:13:11 and congratulations on finding a question that it is exactly at our skill level. This is exactly where we are qualified to operate. Let's just go down the line. Zero, no, there's no problem. One penis. This is one of the line. Zero, no, there's no problem. One penis. This is one of the worst options, I feel, because people are gonna be curious about it.
Starting point is 00:13:31 If certain, if they, you know, maybe they haven't taken health class yet and they don't know what's going on there. They don't know what that thing is. Also in this regard, I will say in this circumstance, size does matter. One giant penis drawn on the wall. Sure.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Can I, I wanna be careful for this discussion that we don't get into the question of size, because like I actually, the person asks for a number, and I feel like we can arrive at the number. Absolutely. If we bring size into it scientifically, so here's what I'll say, starting from zero, that one's easy.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Can we just establish, so let's use just frame of reference for size, big enough to see. Big enough to see. Big enough to see. This is not a where's bald, though, hidden penis. You would not miss it. If you, on a regular bathroom visit, you would clock. You'll clock it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Okay. But small enough that you don't go like, wow, that's a big picture of a penis. Wow! Not a mural. So here's what I would say. Right, exactly. First one is fine because the first one
Starting point is 00:14:33 you have plausible deniability. First one you can say that's not a penis. Okay. Right? I'll also say this. First one is like, that could have been a situation where someone sat down in the stall with no intent of drawing a penis,
Starting point is 00:14:47 but looked around and was like, there's no penis doodle anywhere. So I guess I'll put one on here. Compulsory. That should be scientific about this. I'm gonna ask a question that I don't even know if needs asking. This is assuming testicles are present as well, right?
Starting point is 00:15:02 That when you're drawing it- I mean, Trav, I love you so much, pal. Have you ever seen that before? Have you ever just seen a shaft doodle, pal? The balls are the reason. What I'm saying, Travis, is that a lot of the time, a penis drawing- Don't ask a question you don't want an answer to, Trav.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Let him answer you. A lot of the time, a penis drawing starts because you start drawing something and you're like, that looks like balls. And then you. A lot of the time, a penis drawing starts because you start drawing something and you're like, that looks like balls. And then you do the rest of it based off of that. The idea that someone would draw a just shaft and then would be like done is wild. That's never happened in the history of humankind.
Starting point is 00:15:40 So- I just don't want us to get too far down the road of speaking about it in the specific terms of the penis and not including the unit. Your first one is actually the hardest one to get past. Like, excuse me. Yeah. No, so I'm saying it's one of the worst options. It's one of the worst ones,
Starting point is 00:15:58 but it is like, you're not gonna shut it down for one. Right? No, I don't think you will. Okay, two. Now, I do think it's more likely that you would see standalone balls. Sorry, are we staying? No, I don't think you will. Okay, two. Now, I do think it's more likely that you would see standalone balls. Sorry, are we staying on one? I just wanna be clear, are we still on one?
Starting point is 00:16:10 Or do you wanna move into two? I just wanna explore the possibility of standalone balls drawings over standalone shaft drawings. I think that that would be much more commonplace, but really you gotta have that in mind. And not germane to the discussion, which is already protracted. Two is like totally inoffensive to me.
Starting point is 00:16:24 If I see two, it's like, okay. It almost blends in with the geometry. You know what I mean? It's almost like the textures that they designed for this bathroom had two pieces. And it's kind of nice, cause now they're not lonely. You do think that. They have, oh, look at those friends, you think.
Starting point is 00:16:40 And then you spend the rest of your toilet time thinking about your friends. And that's cool. I would say like two and three, not to like lump this together, but like two and three I appreciate because it removes for me the pressure to go clean up the one. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:16:54 So if there's one, there's the stress of like, I should really go get the magic eraser and clean that up. If I see three, I'm like, oh God, it's a bathroom. You know? When I see three though, I assume they're gossiping though. And that is, that gets to be a little distracting for me
Starting point is 00:17:09 When I see three I have the thought Starting to be a lot of penises in here. I have the thought of like three is your life Three three is not a hot one territory three is like, okay I'm not gonna tear down not gonna tear down the stall and smash the toilet for three, but I will have the thought, I hope this doesn't go any farther. Because it's starting to get a little- That is a tipping point though. Because here's the thing,
Starting point is 00:17:31 think about that gum wall, you know, in a, I think it's in San Francisco, Seattle, the gum wall at the market. If you put one piece of gum on there, someone's just to face that wall. Two pieces of gum, okay, now, but after three, it's just to face that wall. Two pieces of gum. Okay, now, but after three, it's turning to be a thing now.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Guys, this is so, the important work that this show does is it finds truths that are truths that we didn't know are here. Cause guys, I'm thinking about four penises in a bathroom and I'm going apeshit. Yeah. Here's what I'll say.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Wait, wait, the lunatics are running the asylum. Yeah. They are in absolute shutdown mode. This is why it must be shut down too. After three, the tipping point from three to four, students are now leaving to go to the bathroom just to add another penis to the wall. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Yeah, it's a joke now. If there's four on the wall, there's not gonna be four on the wall for very long. Yeah. That's why I'm saying. Yeah, it's a joke now. If there's four on the wall, there's not gonna be four on the wall for very long. That's why I will say, if you ever see a bathroom stall with four penises drawn on the wall, enjoy it, buddy, because someone's gonna get up there and make it five real soon, and then six, and then seven. Four on the wall, great start to fall.
Starting point is 00:18:37 That's what I always say. So if you see three, that's not too many, but you need to clean then before four gets there. Now this is interesting guys. Here's what I've discovered. I'm more comfortable with five. Because it feels like five has reached a sort of pagan stabilizing power.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Right? It feels like there's a sort of like pagan energy that is being summoned by the sort of like de facto pentagram drawn by five. Now five feels like in harmony with nature and it feels like if we could just get to five and stabilize, we'll be okay.
Starting point is 00:19:16 It's the only number post three that is like, okay. It's like one, cool. Two, friends. Three, four, too much. Five, gentle pagan energy, six through infinity. That's too many dicks, dude. If the five penis units have been drawn four side by side standing up and down,
Starting point is 00:19:37 and then one drawn across as a slash mark, now we know that's a complete unit of penis. Well, we can't even talk about of arrangement, right? Because if you had four penises on the wall, clearly, that's a time to pan, let me finish. Let me finish. If there's four penises on the wall, that's when you start to panic.
Starting point is 00:19:53 But if they're drawn in like a cool Voltron, like they connect Voltron style and they form like a bigger dude, like obviously you're gonna be like, wow, like a lot of these rules are suspended if they are beautifully drawn. Yes. That people like appreciate from all that, that's, like a lot of these rules are suspended if they are beautifully drawn. Yes. That people like appreciate.
Starting point is 00:20:07 If it becomes like a mandala and people are adding the penises to it. Oh, God. An infinite fractal of penis. If you had six penises. Uh-huh, I'd go to the doctor. But the school had been open for 60 years. And each of the penii represented a different decade
Starting point is 00:20:26 of the school's history. That's cool. Like in a uniform or a clothing style. Era appropriate, some mascot, I don't know what the mascot of the school is, maybe. Maybe a speech bubble encapsulating a description of a news event. Like a groovy penis for the 70s.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Groovy, man. Yeah. So if I see that, and I'm like coming in as the vice principal of discipline or whatever, and I see that at Clarkson Community College, where I myself attended, and I see those 60 years of history represented on the wall, then for me, I'm like, well, I'm touched. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:21:06 Like that's kind of beautiful. And what's beautiful about that too, is your assumption of only one goes up a decade, someone's chosen, whether, probably not by staff, but by the student body, there's someone, because you can't just go in there and doodle it on your own, because people will see it and be like, that does not capture this decade at all.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Why'd you do that? No. You need somebody who rises, not elected as a student body leader, but rather a naturally born leader to draw the penis on the wall. So if you do six historical ones, you're fine. Now seven, that to me guys starts to feel claustrophobic.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I'm starting to feel like, where do I look where I'm not looking at a wiener now at that point. The toilet could be perfectly clean, could be spotless. Like you don't see them anymore, perfectly clean. Which for me is like green flag, time to go. I'm not gonna have to do any sanitary work myself in order to make this thing romp ready. But I shut the door and there's seven fucking
Starting point is 00:22:02 pink wieners in there, man. I'm not, I can't stay, that's too much for me. That's too much I'm freaking out. Seven feels, yeah, seven feels predatory. Here's the thing, this is a really important point now that we've reached here at eight, because the science tells us that the reason phone numbers were seven digits long, they used to be. Seven is about the biggest number
Starting point is 00:22:30 that we can hold in our hand. Seven digits in our brain. In our head. Not in our head. And my hand, I can hold lots, but in my head. I've seen you hold all kinds of big numbers in your hand. Lots of numbers. Yeah, very strong. In my high school graduation photos,
Starting point is 00:22:43 I was holding a big 99. Yeah, I've seen that, yeah. Yeah, looking cool. So, what, sorry, what Griffin, did you have something? I heard a little noise, like a, well. Like a sneeze. I sneezed. It was a sneeze.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Yeah, a little one. What were you saying? I don't know, I forgot. About eight. So you're saying we can't hold eight numbers? Eight is the, once you see, you can't count that number anymore. So like eight through infinity, or I think, is like,
Starting point is 00:23:10 can't even process. It's all pieces. Like you can't distinguish at that point between eight and nine. The mind can't distinguish. That's fair, because then the kid comes back from a bathroom break, it's been 45 minutes, maybe an hour, and the teacher's like, you were gone a really long time. And they're like, I got lost in the penises. I was trying to hold them all eight in my mind
Starting point is 00:23:34 at the same time and I simply couldn't. And I just lost time in there, and I can't remember math now. Now the next- Now the next- Sorry, Griffin, go ahead. No, it sounds like you had a thing. No, no, no, at what point? Please ask. And I can't remember math now. Now the next- Sorry Griffin, go ahead. No, it sounds like you had a thing.
Starting point is 00:23:46 No, no, no, at what point, please ask. At what point does it cross back over? At what point does it cross it into the point of like genuine fear? Like if, or like unable to comprehend how this many discrete penises have fit. If there's 900 penises on the wall, you walk in and be like,
Starting point is 00:24:10 ah, principal Wilson, you better get in here. Like a horror movie, help written on the wall once. Oh no, help written a hundred times around the room? No fucking way, man. But if there's 900 penises of various shapes and sizes, like a wallpaper? Like a wallpaper? Styles on the ceiling,
Starting point is 00:24:28 suddenly it's like they should have sent a poet. Like a dick teen chapel. Yeah, at that point you're like, you're not gonna pay it over it. That's a good, the other number, and this is actually, this one you need a graphing calculator for, and it is size dependent. But there's a number at which you draw so many penises
Starting point is 00:24:48 that it becomes a sort of camouflage. You can draw them on yourself, draw them on the walls, it's like razzle dazzle, where the patterns you can no longer discern as penises. So it doesn't matter as much. I would say there's also a tipping point where there are so many penises on the wall that they stop being individuals
Starting point is 00:25:07 and becomes one battalion of penis, right? Where it's just like, that's the army of penis, right? When it moves from like five people, 20 people to just one army, right? There would be a saturation point reached where all you think about is like a singular unit of units. Yeah. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:25:29 So not, I mean. I think four is the lowest number. Four and eight are bad. If it hits four, you need to take action. Yeah. Four, one, two, three. If it goes past four, don't take action and wait until it gets back to eight. At that point, you've got to take action again. Did we like six?
Starting point is 00:25:50 Six was good because that could be a historic. You're right. You could also say- Six could be a historic thing. Six is great too. There's a rhyming thing there. And then seven is lucky. And then eight is where things start to get pretty thorny. So four, blank, blank, blank, eight through 899. The second you see four, because if you take your time getting your bucket and managing your razor and you come back in,
Starting point is 00:26:16 there's five, you missed your window. You missed your window. And if they're drawn on the windows, that's another problem. People can see that from outside. That had to be the whole episode, right? Yeah. Let's punch the clock, boys.

It's better with you. of the company. We could do like an improv game and be like, imagine the president of Squarespace is on the call with us, Travis, and try to get-
Starting point is 00:27:06 Okay, Justin, you be the president of Squarespace. Okay, you ready? Hold on a second. I don't really know. I'm not gonna look it up. You're my boss, Griffin. I'm not gonna do any bit. Wait, I'm your boss and he's the president of Squarespace?
Starting point is 00:27:16 I'm his boss. So he's watching, no, the president of Squarespace is observing the call. Or observing- Yeah, but why is your boss there? You're my boss, we're doing a scene. Okay. The president of Squarespace is sitting in the audience watching the scene.
Starting point is 00:27:29 I get it, but my role feels like pretty tacked on if I'm being honest. I don't know why your character needs a boss. I'm coming in, we're doing a scene. Can we just see how it goes? Yeah, I'm just having, I'm struggling because I thought that this was gonna- Boss, boss!
Starting point is 00:27:43 Yeah, what is it pal? We got too much product and how do we get it out there so people can see it and people can buy it? If only there was a way we could display it- No, you're wrong, you're wrong. You're, you're, you've fucked this so wild, like Justin was saying you do the ad like the Squarespace guy is here. And then you were like, okay, Griffin's my bot. Yeah, but it has to be germane to what the ad was and what we're, like you still gotta do an ad.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Yeah, because I'm saying, how do we get our products and services out there? No, no, Travis. No, now you've folded me into the content of the- You were you, you were you. You were you. No, I wasn't, I don't have a boss. You were you.
Starting point is 00:28:20 That's what I'm saying. I don't need to be here, you don't have a boss, it's you, Travis. I'm the boss of Squarespace, okay? All right, let me set up the- Wait, it's just being me, it's not I'm saying. I don't need to be here. You don't have a boss. It's you Travis. I'm the boss of Squarespace All right, let me set up. Just being me it's not an improv game. Let me set up the sketch, okay? Travis is doing a Squarespace ad Are you saying- Can I get like a perfection? If an improv actor says that their name is the same as their name But they're pretending to do something they wouldn't normally do that's not improv. I need something someone would do at a party What's something someone would do at a party?

And I wanna get you back in the ship. Excuse me, Griffin, was it? Hi, Mark Spotify? Your brother was in the middle of the greatest ad read
Starting point is 00:29:58 I've ever heard in my goddamn life. Wait, why is it Mark Spotify? Why is it Mark's? The idea that you would interrupt an audience. Unrelated Griffin. You're the CEO of Squarespace sitting in on the call. You had a role already. Why are you guys fucking this up so much? This is easy. This is a fucking grounder.
Starting point is 00:30:14 His last name can be Spotify unrelated to his job. Yeah, but it's not. It can't be. Why don't you have Spotify open in another tab?

Starting point is 00:31:15 You do this one, Mr. Big Shits. Absolutely unhinged that you would come from me like that. No, you're busting into mine, give me notes, you show me how it's done. You asked for notes. Come on, King Kurt. You asked for improv. No, you're busting in that might give me notes. You show me how it's done. You asked for notes. Come on, King Kurt.

No, I'm King Big Shits. And one of the ways that I take big shits is by subscribing to applications, usually because one of my kids asks me to,
Starting point is 00:32:22 like I promise I'll play Doodle Kitchen 9 for the rest of my life. 15 bucks a month sounds pretty good. No, went to hell after Doodle Kitchen 6. It did, but you can't stop my kids from, and anyway, I'll subscribe to shit and I'll forget and then I'll be paying for it and then Rock-a-Money will be like, did you remember about, it'll be like, I don't even remember what Doodle Shit 5 is,
Starting point is 00:32:43 but I am apparently paying 15 bucks a month for it. Rocket Money will help get me out of that situation. Because it's a personal finance app that helps finance and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitor your spending, and help lower your bills so you can grow your savings. You guys know about this?

That's why they call it fast, grivant, don't move slow. Taco Bell rolled out a new all cheese shell
Starting point is 00:34:26 that was seen by so many people on TikTok, judging by my mentions. I think everybody already saw it because I was tagged over 200 times in this Taco Bell video. How's your brand doing, Justin? It's going just the way I want it to. So I'm not gonna talk about that. You said all chicha,
Starting point is 00:34:47 so it's just a big slab of fried cheese? It's, listen, I just said I'm not gonna talk about it. Okay. So don't try to trick me. I hate it when people try to trick me. I mean, you brought it up. Okay, I missed it while I was at sea and I asked for the news and you were like,
Starting point is 00:34:57 everyone knows the news. You brought it up. This is the Oscar talk all the fuck over again. I'm never leaving my- I love when Adrian Brody spit a big wad of cheese into his girlfriend's hand, like a baby, like a toddler who had taken a bite of something they didn't want anymore.
Starting point is 00:35:11 He produces those in his dairy sack. Sorry, wait one second, I just gotta get the, there we go. What? Travis, can you read the top? Arby's potato cakes pre-class action lawsuit. Are you or a loved one? That's all you get.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Oh, wow, you closed it. That's all you get. Justin just screen shared something and then closed it real fast. Like he was tripping. Yeah, Arby's has announced the return of the fifth favorite potato cakes in the menus nationwide and they will sue themselves if they go off the menu.
Starting point is 00:35:42 What? Okay, yes. If they go off the Right now, Arby's is doing the thing in the werewolf movie when they're like, if I get out of this cage, shoot me with this gun. Yeah, exactly. Because I will kill everyone you know. Arby's says, okay, the iconic golden perfectly seasoned Arby's potato cakes are officially back on the menu. Now, if you don't know what these are, because you've never been to Arby's,
Starting point is 00:36:22 they're hash browns, they're little triangular hash browns, and you could get them instead of been to Arby's. They're hash browns, they're a little triangular hash browns. And you could get them instead of fries at Arby's and you haven't been able to and now they're back. Potato Cakes recently made a comeback only to disappear again, leaving customers on an emotional roller coaster. That's why this time the return of Potato Cakes is backed by the creation of a pre-class action lawsuit. Justin Tyler, why are they writing this
Starting point is 00:36:49 like they disappeared and they don't know how or why? Yeah, we went one day into the big fat where we keep all the dang things, we're just gone. We boned you guys. That's it. We boned you. It's weird when you think about all the mess of supply chain issues for potatoes.
Starting point is 00:37:03 For potatoes? For potatoes? I hope not. It seems like we got those coming out our, if you'll forgive it, ears. That's corn. I know, that's why it's a thinker. That's why I asked for forgiveness. It doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:37:16 After potato cakes returned briefly to the Arby's menu in 2024, July, there was an outpouring of excitement from fans who made it clear this menu item is a must have. But then guests were disappointed when their favorite snack disappeared. When? Because July wasn't that long ago, you guys. They were very disappointed, Travis.
Starting point is 00:37:34 It says right here, they don't have the data, but anecdotally, guests were super, super distressed. Arby's heard them loud and clear, and now the fan favorite potato cakes are here to stay. Okay. Arby's is backing that promise. Now, hold on. With some serious protection. What this press release presupposes
Starting point is 00:37:52 is that while these fans loved these potato cakes, now that they've had them taken away from them once, they would be too scared to indulge in them again now that they're back. They don't wanna trust. That they'll be taken away from them once. They would be too scared to indulge in them again now that they're back. They don't want to trust. That they'll be taken away again. That there will be Charlie Brown and Lucy
Starting point is 00:38:12 holding a potato cake, and she's saying, kick the potato cake or whatever. And so Arby's is saying, don't be scared, potato cake fans. We are legally obligating ourselves to make money off of you by selling these potato cakes to you. Yeah. So here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Arby's fans can now sign up or ostensibly anyone. Arby's fans can now sign up to be part of a pre-class action lawsuit. If potato cakes are removed from the menu before December 31st, 2026, Arby's will pay out $1 million worth of Arby's food to be split amongst the signees. No menu item return has ever been this ironclad. And since Arby's isn't planning to remove potato cakes
Starting point is 00:38:52 from the menu ever again, those that sign up to be part of the pre-class action lawsuit can also redeem a DoorDash code to receive free delivery and two-piece potato cakes from February 27th to a time that has passed. Apologies. So, did they put out a press release alongside this that says, Arby's pleased to announce
Starting point is 00:39:13 that potato cakes will be taken off the menu, Jan one, 2027, guaranteed. No one wants this particular potato shape. We had this one potato shape going for a while that people were crazy about. Real tiny, slender ketchup-dippable guys. So we are gonna get these bad boys off of here just as soon as it is financially and legally convenient for us.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Here's what you do, folks. Everybody, everybody, sign this, this, and then nobody buy the potato cakes. Oh, force them to take it off. But they'll need to have them on hand in case somebody does, right? Yeah. And then the day that you walk in and you say,
Starting point is 00:39:51 can I have some potato cakes? And they say, we don't have any. You say, gotcha! And you serve them. And you say, I know I came to Arby's, but you've been served. And then you'll probably get like $1.25 out of it. Real talk?
Starting point is 00:40:03 I think it'll be more than that. This is what I wanna say. Knowing what I know about how many people participate in these fast food promotions, which is to say next to none, I think if you got in here and you won this particular gamble, you're gonna be walking away with
Starting point is 00:40:20 at least eight, 900 bucks worth of art. Yeah, you're gonna be feeling pretty good. And that's enough to, no,, you're gonna be feeling pretty good. And that's enough to, no, you're not gonna be feeling pretty good. You're gonna eat eight to $900 worth of Arby's food, and you're gonna build a little house on top of the toilet. Where you live.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Sorry, improvised shelter. It keeps you and the things you do in, and it keeps the outside world out. That's your shell of shame. We know our guests are passionate about our potato cakes, and we want to honor that loyalty by keeping them on the menu permanently, says Jeff Baker, the CMO at Arby's. We're excited to finally announce their return and prove to all our guests that we listen to their pleas on social media, and we aren't gonna let Arby's get away with removing potato cakes from the menu ever again.
Starting point is 00:41:09 And we aren't going to let. Yeah. He says we aren't going to let, I didn't misread it. We aren't going to let Arby's get away with removing potato cakes for the menu ever again. We've always been at war with Eurasia and we're never taking away your potato cakes America. Smee, Smee, stop me. Smee, stop me, Smee.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Stop me, damn it, Smee. I'm giving them the potato cakes again, Smee. So Arby's has a number that I can call here to get more information. So I am, I mean, it has to be a recording, right? There's no way that's a big gamble. I know. 833-529.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Don't talk, Sarge. Sorry. 833-529. It's 833-Lossbud. I don't think they're too worried about it. Lossbud? Not L-O-S-S-B-U-D, though. I'm your Lossbud.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Don't talk. Hello, and thank you for calling the Arby's Potato Cakes pre-Class Action Lawsuit Hotline. Potato Cakes are back at Arby's. Arby's is seriously, not so seriously, preparing a Pre-Class Action Lawsuit against Arby's in the event that Arby's removes potato cakes from the Arby's menu in the future. Arby's won't let Arby's get away with it. Please join to ensure you receive any possible future settlement should potato cakes be removed from the Arby's menu.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Please visit Arby'sPotatoCakesLawsuit.com. Thank you. Goodbye. Sorry, but the user's mailbox can't accept more messages. Ha! Wow, they really committed to the bit, huh? Yeah, they sure, they sure, that's a good use of a phone number. I mean, we're not doing anything else with phone numbers. We might as well let, they might as well call Arby's. There's only 999,999,999 phone numbers. And so that's one, that's one way to use it.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Okay, there's, there's, there's literally a part of this where it says- Are you signing up? Are you gonna get your money? I'm reading this pre-class action lawsuit. Absolutely signing up, are you kidding me? And it says, Arby's may, in its sole discretion, and at any time, discontinue this site
Starting point is 00:43:13 or any part thereof with or without notice or may prevent your use of this site with or without notice to you. You agree that you do not have any rights in this site and that Arby's will have no liability to you if this site is discontinued or your ability to access the site or any content you may have posted on the site is terminated. You know that whoever came up with this campaign
Starting point is 00:43:35 got a letter from the Arby's lawyers, and they were like, ah, god damn it. They're not gonna let us have it. They're gonna break K-Fabe pretty quickly, I think, if you just read at the bottom of the thing. Like, they'll let us make jokes and have fun at the top, but they are gonna make absolutely certain that the actual stakes of this situation
Starting point is 00:43:52 could not be clear to the end user. I guarantee what the marketing team showed up with was, we will shut down Arby's. So the promise is we close Arby's for good and give everybody all our money if we stop selling potato cakes. And then the lawyers are like, would you settle for a million dollars of Arby's food
Starting point is 00:44:09 if you cancel it before December 31st, 2026? You can still say permanently because these fucking numbskulls are definitely, definitely not gonna figure this out. But is that okay? Is that a good compromise? Also, it's all fake and we're gonna tell them that it's all fake. Yeah, it's all this.
Starting point is 00:44:26 The rest of this stuff listed here is all written in Jokey-like. It literally says underneath it, we're pretty sure Arby's is trademarked, but that one section. You can't fucking walk it back. We know your heart. That one section's like, by the way, here's some ironclad stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Okay, back to the jokes. I love this. I love this. I love this. I don't love the potato cakes. It's, they really think- You really not? I did want to check in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:52 I call this section reality check. Yeah. Do you not like potato cakes? I love potato cakes. I'm saying I don't trust Arby's to evenly fry that big a piece of potato. That's a real temperature game at that point when you're trying to fry a big,
Starting point is 00:45:08 like, you know, blob of potato. Instead of just a French fry, a French fry is like, not much potato, so you can fry that pretty evenly, pretty good. But this is a plot. Let me through, Griffin, just real quick, all the other different types of potato, the forms they come in and how easily they are to fry.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Okay, number one, baked potato. Can't really fry one of those. Okay. So big, so much potato in there. A hash brown, these are a little thicker than a hash brown, right? A latke, I think, is somewhat user-friendly. A lot of people probably wouldn't think that,
Starting point is 00:45:38 but they're really flat. A hash brown, you get a little bit thicker. These potato cakes are, that's a good one and a half, two inches deep. What about a tot? A tot? Harder than a fry, cause it is more three dimensional and it has like a volume to it
Starting point is 00:45:55 that is more difficult to. What about a man sized potato? I mean, sure you- And shaped, and man shaped, and same consistency. No, so you heard me say the thing that- As man? Yeah, like if a potato looked like a man- A potato with the consistency of a man?
Starting point is 00:46:12 Of a man, and maybe like, just like a man would have saying like, no, no, please don't do this, I'll pay you the money I owe you, I promise. A sentient potato man? A Mr. Potato body, you're saying? Yeah, so I mean, you heard me say that baked potatoes are hard to fry, so I don't know why you're saying. Yeah, so I mean, you heard me say that baked potato is hard to fry,
Starting point is 00:46:25 so I don't know why you think a man shaped potato. How long do you think it would take before that man shaped, man sized, man consistency, man begging potato? Trav, are you trying to fry a man? What? You trying to fry a man? No.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Trav, are you over there frying men, dude? No, man, what? Juice, I think Trav's over there frying men. Hey Trav, are you over there frying men, dude? No, man, what? Juice, I think Trav's over there frying men. Hey Trav, can you not be the reason that our empire crumbles, please? I'm just saying that there's people up there who love me, buddy. People will see the headlines at the top of the paper and it'll be like, one of the McElroy brothers,
Starting point is 00:47:01 and they'll be like, fuck yeah, I knew it. And then it'll say, fries men. And they'll be like, fuck yeah, I knew it. And then it'll say, fries men. And they'll be like, oh, that's what? That's the thing? That's the thing that, that's wild. I think, and I'm not saying I do it, but I think you'd only have to fry one man before you get the message across and everybody pays up.
Starting point is 00:47:21 I'd like to ask another question. We have a few more minutes. Can I borrow some money by the way, Travis? Do you have, I need like 10 ask another question. We have a few more minutes. Can I borrow some money by the way, Travis? I need like 10,000 bucks. Yeah, I do have, I had the Arby's lawyer draw up some paperwork you need to sign. Oh, you're joking. There's a lot of jokes in it. Nevermind, it's a joke. There is a world in which eight people sign up for this and you find yourself,
Starting point is 00:47:36 Arby's just randomly stopped selling them because apparently nobody gave a shit, and you end up as the proud recipient of like $100,000 of Arby's gift cards. That's so sick. That's what I'm saying. It's a pretty good scam, I'd sign up for it, or don't, it's up to you. Here's a quick question before we go. I was recently taking part in an icebreaker slash get to know each other type game
Starting point is 00:47:56 where we had to say something interesting about ourselves. My go-to fact was that I was on reality TV wilderness survival show, Survive This Season Two. When I was 13 or 14 and I spent show, Survive This, Season 2, when I was 13 or 14 and I spent two months in the wild with little to no training or experience and made it all the way to the end of the series. I'm happy to answer a few questions for a minute or so, but don't know how to shift away from the topic nicely. How do I get people to move away from the topic without sounding bitter or rude? As fellow TV personalities, I was hoping you might have some insight.
Starting point is 00:48:25 How absolutely generous of you. Proud but low key between Petersboro and Lindsay, Ontario. Specious premise. I will say. You are laying out a savory little morsel here, and it's too savory, and you know that it's too savory. So you can't be like, so how do you get people to not nibble at it?
Starting point is 00:48:49 It's the, you put out the, you need a conversation stopper for one of these games. Because I agree with Griffin. The problem is you are using this as an ice breaker, which is literally a thing designed to start a conversation. Yeah. Right. This is a game, and then you're like, oh no, I broke the ice and now they wanna go through the ice.
Starting point is 00:49:08 You have been asked to break the ice and you have instead created an iceberg that people are like, well, this is interesting. I wonder what's below this. I'll go, I'd like to see a little bit more. And that's good, I think, but you can't be upset about that. That seems like you're, it's working as intended.
Starting point is 00:49:25 It's a pretty good story. But there's a ton of shit you could say that I'm not gonna wanna know anything about, for example. Hi everybody, I'm Griffin McRoy. My interesting fact is that I ran my first marathon this past spring. No one's gonna ask you a fucking, what's the question?
Starting point is 00:49:43 So would you run real fast? Like there's no follow up that you could possibly generate out of that. That's true, you can get all the benefits of running a marathon almost without running it. Yeah. If you just tell people you did. So what you're, get the sticker, 26.2, got it.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Whatever. What you are theorizing Griffin is some side of ice former. Yeah. Right? That's like, I want to actually build up the ice between you and I. Or maybe we can see if it's clear. He wants to drop that ice nine. Make a wall of ice.
Starting point is 00:50:08 I mean, it's fucked up that my work mandates me distributing my social currency away for free without asking me if I'm comfortable with it. Hey Griffin, make friends. You can't make me do that because you're not my mom, my mommy or my daddy. Like you're my boss and, my mommy or my daddy. Like you're my boss and this is a business.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Here's what I have to do for you, the boss. Type in numbers on the computer and that's it. I don't have to make friends. I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to participate in capitalism to the degree that systems have allowed me to. That's it. That's it.
Starting point is 00:50:46 That's all you have to do. That's all you gotta lay out. I have a rash. Hi everybody, I'm Griffin McRoy and I have a bad rash down there. It's tough. It's tough. That's a good anecdote.
Starting point is 00:50:56 And you said in here we're fellow TV personalities, but I could never bring up my brother, my brother, me as an icebreaker in a TV show as an icebreaker because I don't think it's possible for me bring up my brother, my brother, me as an icebreaker, and the TV show as an icebreaker, because I don't think it's possible for me to simultaneously tell someone that we made a TV show and then at the same time express them how far it was from the TV shows that they may be thinking of in their day-to-day life. It's like I did a TV show and then I need to stop them before they...
Starting point is 00:51:24 My daughter Cooper is seven If she's telling us a story, she says like don't say anything until I'm done. Don't react I'll say woo. Don't say anything until the story's over and I feel like that with the TV show It's like I did a TV show. Whoa, wait, no, you need to listen not like Becker Stop and everybody has a like Becker. No, Not like Becker. Stop. And everybody asks if I mean like Becker. Not like Becker. No, not like Becker. No, no. I'm saying it was a TV show, and there were six of them.
Starting point is 00:51:49 Yeah. And it shut the network down. And we made it for a million dollars at our house with our best buddy JD. But it was a TV show. It was. Technically speaking. You can't get it for free.
Starting point is 00:52:02 But it's more on the scale towards some kids cut the front out of a cardboard box and maybe acted out some skits inside, except ours was locked into a tape and you can watch it online. Exactly. And someone somewhere may be making money off of it in some way, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:18 There's so much about what we do that is like the wrongest possible answer for this question of like, I don't want to admit sounds bad, I'm not ashamed of the work that we do, but I certainly don't want to talk about it at length with a bunch of strangers. And perhaps that is why we are fame wise,
Starting point is 00:52:35 sort of day walkers. When I was on the JoCo crews last week, people said like, you probably get this all the time, I hate to bother you. No, I don't, I wicked don't. I run at pretty good stealth mode out there actually. I can creep and crawl with the rest of them. It's really only in venues like this
Starting point is 00:52:54 or immediately after one of our live shows that we get recognized. Because we don't wanna talk about our TV show unless. But we do wanna tell you about some live shows we have coming out. That's where we shine. That's where we shine. That's where we shine. You can't capture us in celluloid.

Starting point is 00:53:24 All Taz shows this year are gonna be Taz versus, we just did Taz. The first one of which I believe is either coming out this week or just came out. It's out now, yeah.
