We’re all very excited to play with our Magic Baby Mario Egg machines.

The McElroy brothers are not experts and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? One, two, three, four!

Gamers, gamers rise up! Gamers unite! You guys hear that sound all across the nation. Yeah. Gamers are rising up and ready for the Switch, for the new Nintendo Switch console.

The new Nintendo Switch console has come out. Yes. And as is mine. My knees are so tired. And I had just the time for Pride Month. Thank you, Nintendo. Yeah. Did you see what I did was, Travis said. No, hold on, can I do mine?

Cause I have one too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you do yours, yours, yours. So I was, as is my habit, I let you guys get the system first, then I find out if it's worth it. So I'm dying to know the Nintendo Switch, is let you guys get the system first, then I find out if it's worth it. So I'm dying to know, the Nintendo Switch, is it the top or the bottom?

And that's, so we've had another great, we've had two great jokes now. So I would like to do mine clean. Oh, okay. Can I just say before you do yours, that I do not have a Nintendo Pride Month joke. And so I'm, this is gonna be it. This is gonna be the second and last one.

I don't have one. Well, you know what? Now that it's, if you don't have one rule of threes, I think I'm gonna stick with the rule of ones. I could gen one. I could probably gen one up real quick. Okay. But would you start to dig into the bottom of a barrel

where it starts to feel a little iffy? Oh, it'll be bad. No, people will not like it. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. So I'll just skip mine. I mean, I kinda did mine, so.

You did yours a little bit. I think it's like one and a half. Yeah, for sure. Do you think Nintendo's proud of their little Switch? I don't know why you'd said it like that. I don't think it's like one and a half. Yeah, for sure. Do you think Nintendo's proud of their little Switch? I don't know why you said it like that. I don't think it's a little Switch. In fact, the screen size is considerably larger. So what you said is the dumbest ass thing I've ever heard.

Now, I haven't bought a video game system since 1998, so I'm assuming it's what, like $100? And it comes with a Mario? It costs $100, it comes with a little Mario that you have to keep alive. Oh my God, I'm not ready for that. The system is called switch to Mario in your pocket. And in order for this, first it comes as an egg.

Yes. Oh my God, the responsibility. Tamagotchi, but kind of like a real little guy, and he really shits in everything, and you have to, there's a special button to clean it up. His name is Tamagotchi. His name is Tamagotchi, and every five minutes, Travis, this little five-inch high Mario pulls his overalls down,

and he leans down, he bends over on the table, and he shows you his gooch, and it's fucking weird, dude. The droppings are nine microscopic, Travis. That has been the biggest relief for the gamers. Yeah. The droppings that the mini Mario. The shits that PS5 made were so big and arduous. But the switch. Before its evolution, yeah.

This tiny Mario, after he flashes his gooch at you, he takes the littlest. So let me give this straight. The domes are so easy. Yeah. Go for it. I go to my nearest Babbage's. Yeah.

I buy the Switch 2. They give me an egg. It's also a Funko Land. It's a Funko Land and Babbage's and KB Toys. They give me a little egg. How many more do we do? How many more, how many more clips? Just real quick, sidebar.

Super quick round-off and how many places can we do that used to sell video games? Electronic's boutique. Electronic'sutnik. Open Eek. Toys R Us. Blockbuster. Blockbuster video.

Circuit City. Radio Shack. I'm out. Travis went way harder than I did. I worked at Best Buy for a long time. So anyway, this little tiny Mario. So I go, I buy the Switch 2. They, instead of handing me like a console and a box,

they hand me an egg. Egg. And that egg. Egg. Egg. And that egg. And a bowl of spaghetti. Oh, okay. That's just so, but Trav, that's plastic. It's just so you don't eat it. Yeah, that's for the Mario.

Okay, so then I take the egg home, I hatch it. You don't hatch it, that's crazy. It's just super-hands-on. You don't have that kind of power. Oh, okay, great, great. It hatches on its own? You're not the sun, you're not God, you can't make the egg hatch, the egg just hatches.

The egg hatches. And then a tiny man comes out, a tiny Mario. The man is reductive, he's a video game console. He's an icon. Sorry. He is the Switch 2, or in a more accurate sense, will give birth to the Switch 2. Oh, I see, okay.

So then, he pulls down his overalls and shows me his guge. Yeah. Is it- That is on a schedule and unrelated to birthing the Switch 2. And listen, just because he came out of an egg, he is not a baby. This is so- Is he a mammal? We must be so clear, this is a grown man

who has made the adult decision to show you his perineum. Yeah. But here is the really amazing part, Travis. The perineum showing will get to a point where it gets to be too much. It makes him get too hot. Thinking, I regret the perineum, and it's too much for you.

You're thinking, I regret this purchase. Do I have to train him not to do it? No, that's the greatest- Good fucking luck, buddy. Yeah, that's the best part, Travis, because when the system is ready to emerge and when it's pupated enough inside Mario's belly, which is-

Now I know you're wondering. So it's like an egg within an egg. The egg hatches, Mario comes out nine months later, after gestating the Switch 2, it comes out. And this is a more traditional video game. Yeah, but here's where it comes out, right? Babies having babies. This is the twist. This is the twist, right?

Not a baby, hold on. Time out. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. The Mario that comes out of the egg is not a baby. He's a grown man who's made the adult that's like a morcon. Like a morcon kind of thing. He's a small, full grown man. And then when the moment arrives, and Mr. Wilson has waited 30 years for this moment,

he's watching as the- And Dennis the Menace has been just bothering him this whole time. Yeah. So what happens is he lies on his back and he shows you the taint, and you think it's just like every other time, right? Yeah, four times a day.

I don't blame you for thinking that. You start counting in your head, 23, 22, 21, because he always does it the exact same amount of time. But then you get one, zero, and it's still out, and then it's glowing, and then it starts to split. Okay, like wide. And then it splits to a point where it's bigger, the split is bigger than his body.

It's like larger than his, right? We're getting into like tesseract. And I'm not gonna lie Travis this part's scary You will not like when you're about to experience the ninth generation of console And I'm so when you're about to really touch the future guys your video game journalists I know you've really been in the trenches in the war zone. This is all NDA Disgraced a video game journalist. Thank you very much. And I was more of an editorialist. And I was more of a critic. I'm not as hardened to this as you guys are, so I'm afraid to ask this question,

but does the little Mario survive the birthing process? Well, Travis, the most beautiful part of it all is you're breathing him now. Yeah, he turns into a- Oh, he star stuff. It's sort of a crystalline- He star stuff, baby! Oh, okay. He. He star stuff, baby! Oh, okay.

Do you have- He returns to the loam. That's why when you buy it at the electronics boutique, they have to ask you, do you have asthma or any kind of breathing conditions? Because after he's ruptures and the Switch 2, it comes out in nine months from him, then he's gonna turn into ash and you're gonna breathe him in. 30 years from now? If you're wearing turn into ash and you're gonna breathe him in. It's gonna suck.

If you're wearing a K95 when you purchase Mario, they ask to ensure that you've removed it. They want you to breathe it. Oh, you have to breathe it. It's disgraceful. Is that how you connect to the system? You don't really connect to the system and you don't really play it and there aren't really games.

Yeah. There's only Mario Kart World Tour. It's not like- That's basically it, pretty weird. Is Nintendo worried about 30 years from now the class action lawsuit about like super mesothelioma from breathing in the Mario dust? Super mesothelioma! Yeah, and that's a good one too.

It's a mesothelioma! We're the super Misithelium Brothers and we're here to play. Sorry about your cancer in a major way. Wanna join the lawsuit for all of us guys? Sorry about my cooch and you're gonna die. He shouldn't have to call you guys. Class action?

So that's the Switch 2, Trav. It's $500 and probably out of stock. Yeah, I have my Nest Cam open and a live monitor, live feed on my phone on my desk just in case Mr. FedEx comes to deliver my special guy today. Well, he has to breathe. So yeah, he let me see the gift card.

Wait, does he breathe? He, hmm. Wait, the guy didn't bring your thing? It comes today. It comes today, oh. That's what I'm saying. I'm gonna have to probably, if I stand up and run out of the room.

Mine came yesterday. Okay, well. Mine'll come in nine months when I buy it. Yeah. Justin and I got a special fast track Zero Mario Impregnation. This is pro- Though, though, Griff, I would say,

judging from the past 10 minutes, that's probably the last time that old connection is probably gonna go, I imagine those emails are probably gonna start going to spam, you know? Yeah, no one, no one, hey, disgraced video game journalist Grifford McElroy, please don't tell Nintendo about this whole show. Don't tell Nintendo about our existence.

Really, anything we do that's not gamer stuff, they look at me and Juice and they think like, these are two honored voices in this community, in this industry. Long lost. Long dead video game critics. You must realize- Not disgraced though. That our audience is like one big like kid in class who raises their hand to remind the teacher

that they forgot homework. The second you say, please don't tell Nintendo about this, everyone's gonna be skeeting and TikToking and Instagramming to know all about this. Before you do that, please think about how sad it would make you if Daddy Nintendo got mad at you and stopped letting you play their games. Oh my god.

I heard you're feeling sad. I heard you're turning the switch off. Yeah, yep. Oh, now I'm sad. How about a question? Yeah, that would cheer me up. I would love that. Yeah, does this sound good?

Sorry. You all right? Yeah, I got a picture of Green Day stuck on my computer. You wanna explain why? It went full screen and I was trying to get rid of it. Why did you have a picture of Green Day open and ready for your interview? I was gonna talk about it with you guys,

but then I didn't know if it was worth mentioning to you. So I understand. You were just gonna talk about the band Green Day in general or? No, last night I needed coffee, but I couldn't leave the house. I didn't need coffee for the morning. So the only place that I could get coffee from was Speedway.

And the only coffee Speedway had was punk bunny coffee by Green Day. Yeah, this looks cool, dude. How is it that in this photo, which we'll share somewhere, there's four people in it. And the least excited one to be there is the bunny. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, man. But that's not gonna play.

Yeah. Hey, how come the three members of Green Day seem like they're aging at three completely different speeds? Yeah, it's very strange. Here's all the different products. So with Punk Bunny coffee, they've got Can you just do the like the Munch Squad sound just so we feel like yeah, okay? Just like really do do do do Munch Squad. Thank you. Okay. All right

You're good. You don't have to do the whole thing. That's that's it. That's like so In addition to are you still seeing the screen here? No, you made the picture of Billy Joel go away Uh, I would never Billy Joel. I'll show this tab. Hold on Billy Joel Young is his name So you're let's say you love green day a little coffee of course we could start with this classic Dookie yeah, dookie is one of the big flavors flavor Oh, I think that they didn't make any albums after dookie. It was so good. Why'd they stop there? It's a shame that they didn't make any albums after Dookie. It was so good. Why'd they stop there?

It was really good. You got Last Ride In, that's a medium dark. There's Light Club, that's a light roast. There's Soundcheck, that's a dark roast. And then there's Father of All Dark Roasts. Wow. There's also a limited edition Fancy Sauce roast. And then they got some K-Cut pods.

There's five different K-Cut pod varieties. Now that's just the coffee though. Are those? If you love the brand of punk bunny coffee, you could get yourself bunnies with merch that'll make your tail twitch. Like the Graffidia Tote, the Love Bunny Tumbler, the Baby Crop Tea, the Pantran Saint Tea, the Punk Bunny Coffee Green Day mug,

the Dookie XPBC Tumbler, the Punk Bunny, the Dookie XPBC mug, and the Graffitia case. You can skip both. I wanna point out. Yeah, what did you say? Because it bothers me, they here in the merch have like the Americano idiot, right? Which is a good tie in.

How come in the coffee flavors, none of them, maybe I'm just out of touch with Green Day's more recent things. Are those references? It's just about the life of being on the road, Travis. It's just about like being a road dog. I'm not sure you would get it. It's just about road life, you know what I mean? Like sound check, you know, last ride out.

So what was- Father of all. So my question- Father of all. So I got this, cause they did a special collaboration- With Speedway? With Speedway and they're also at 7-Eleven

cause around here they're kind of mixed up. They're a little bit the same a little bit different So it's not confusing sometimes. Yeah, but they're also doing a special Slurpee flavor For a green day Slurpee flavor exclusive with 7-eleven So my question is this guys. Here's what I'm gonna ask you What was American Idiot about? That's a good, good one. I feel like I thought I got it, got it kind of a little bit, and then I feel like maybe I didn't get it.

Yeah, for sure. They got bunny coffee at 7-Eleven, so I feel like I don't maybe get it. Alright, Justin. Maybe I didn't get it. I came to you guys for information about the Switch. As the lead dukehead here, I'm happy to explain this to you. You see, Justin, American idiot is whatever you want it to be. And that's the idiot part.

That's the idiot part, you see, because like every American will think American idiot is about one thing and they're inherently wrong. Yeah. You know what I mean? Do you get it? Can we, I mean? Do you get it? Can we, I mean, let's dive into the lyrics, skipping over the wild gay slur

that's in it for Pride Month. Because if we sort of start to look at it, I think you can probably see the clues that they're gonna do a major brand partnership with 7-Eleven in the lyrics to 2004's American Idiot. Don't wanna be an American idiot, one nation controlled by the media, information age of hysteria,

it's calling out to idiot America. Make you think. Yeah, it says here, I'm looking at the genius lyrics. Make you think, but also make you thirsty. Yeah, I'm looking here at the genius lyrics, and it says specifically that Billy Joel Osmond said that that lyric says, and in 21 years, we're gonna do a partnership that that lyric says,

and in 21 years, we're gonna do a partnership with Pink Bunny Coffee and 7-Eleven. It says in a decade and a year, in two decades and a year, slop it down, slop it down, American idiot, yeah. Yeah. I don't know if it's art at this point, but you have the members of the band

and they're all just like fish-eye lens and they're all just like gargling these fucking bright green Slurpees with the 7-Eleven branding everywhere. What's the Slurpee? Oh, Candy Grape? Yeah. It's Kerplunk Candy Grape, Travis.

What's that mean? I mean, read the fucking lyrics to any of their songs, dude. Wake Me Up in September. Green Day, it's the album. I was all by myself. I was eating some candy, I love candy, great, but only a Slurpee.

Masturbation. Slop it down, here we go. Yeah, so I guess that's another turning point, a Slurpee on the road. Yeah, wow man, when you go back, how did it, it's one of those, is the dress blue and black or golden black things where it's like,

he was actually saying those words all along, but we couldn't even say that. All the clues were there, Mr. Policeman. Yeah. I gotta say that I know that maybe this seems a little bit disingenuous for us to have a little bit of fun at Green Day's expense. We do have our own merch page,

I understand the way the merchandising works. But I will say this, we've always been pretty fucking consistent about where we stand. Yeah, we did a whole coffee. I think I've been in corporate America's pocket for a very, very long time. I'd like to be deeper in there.

If memory serves, we did a whole episode about a coffee brand we had started that we then sold. And that's right, and gang, that's selling out, but it's right over the plate. Here's what I'm saying, is that right now, we're in corporate America's little pocket at the top of the jean pocket, where they keep like keys or a quarter or something. I'd like to be deep in their cargo pockets

with like more money coming in. I would love a little bit of extra elbow room. I'm so open about that, like I'm trying to sell out and no one's buying is the problem. I've been an influencer for years now and no one's paying me to influence shit. Is the problem. Can I ask how long are you thinking

about trying to keep that going? Yeah, when is it time to hang it up and let the hoops troops try that? Are you sure? Cause there's other stuff you could do. I'm doing other stuff too. I'm just saying my primary focus is selling out. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Well, team up with Green Day. I'd love to. Are you kidding me? What are these people? I would erase this episode from time in a heartbeat. If they were like, do you want to design the next Kerplunk candy slurpee flavor? I'd be like, yeah, man, let's do it.

It's going to be toxic brown or whatever. Let's go. Hey, let's do it. It's gonna be toxic brown or whatever. Let's go. Hey, let's help people. I'm tired of not being useful. I wanna make myself useful. I walk fast. My natural, comfortable pace is brisk. It takes real conscious effort for me to slow down

to keep pace with people who walk more slowly. I work at a book store where part of my job is leading customers through the store to help them find the book they're looking for. And I often catch myself zooming ahead and having to stop and wait for the customer to catch up so I don't lose them among the shelves or walking so exaggeratedly slowly

that it feels like I'm mocking them. Brothers, how can I train myself to keep pace with these slow pokes without feeling like I'm waiting through molasses? That's from Sonic in Seattle. Gotta go fast. Sorry, today must be pretty hard for them with the new Nintendo.

Gotta be pretty hard. Sonic would love to get fans. To get fans to something and no one will let him. That's what the internet has told me. I'm also a fast walker and I've worked in retail. And they make you wear shoes. Yeah. I'm a fast walker who's worked in retail

and I'm a fast walker who shopped at places. And so I can come at this from both directions. I know, man. I don't, all I want, if I ask someone to help me find something in a store, I want them to get me there as quick as possible and then go on about their business, right? Like they should keep up with you. I don't think you needed to slow down for them. If they ask you to help find a book and they're slow to see, I like not letting you know, I'm not letting you know. and then go on about their business, right? Like they should keep up with you.

I don't think you need to slow down for them. If they ask you to help find a book and they're slow, just yell like, knowledge waits for no one. Come along, Squire. If you're at Home Depot and you're like, I need this pipe fitting, no idea where to look. And then you go up to someone. They like jump into the shelves.

They go up to someone and you're like, hey, can you show me where these pipe fittings are? And they say, sure. And then they take off in a dead sprint. Yeah. That's the ideal situation. Blessed be the speedy when those who knock are needy, baby. I guess so.

I'm just saying that given the option between dead sprint or like a slow meandering walk, I'll tell you what happens more and more these days, if I can, as an old curmudgeonly retail, former retail worker, I ask them where something is, they pull out amudgeonly retail, former retail worker. I asked them what something is, they pull out a little like handheld device, they gotta look it up.

They don't know top of their heads. They don't know the whole store's inventory off the top of their heads. They don't know top of their heads. I got- By that point, I could have done that. Yeah. I was at Home Depot last week,

a guy asked me to help him figure out what pipe fitting he needed. Why the fuck did he do that? Because I had an orange hat on. And we were too deep down the rabbit hole by the time he asked me, I had to look out and say, sir, you've not only picked a non-employee, you've maybe picked the most non-employee you could have selected. I am- Yes, you could not be not working at Home Depot

any harder than you already are. But I bet you felt pretty good for a second, right? For a second there was like a, I'm flattered, but I don't. I skipped straight to sheer panic. Oh, okay. But that's a, you understand, pretty unforced error that you took on there wearing that hat to the Home Depot store.

Home Depot employees don't wear orange hats, they're not hunters. No, you know what? I don't go to Home Depot, it must've been Lowe's. That's even weirder, though, because it wasn't orange hat. No, think about it. To be fair, you made yourself extra visible.

So whether they thought you worked there or not, they just scoped you, and they were like, ah, a human being, they must know. That's why everywhere I go, camo, ghillie suit, crawl on my belly, never get perceived. Gokuh. Huh? Gokuh.

Yeah? To get stronger. Yeah. Trained with these weights on his arms. Sorry, Justin has a little toy donut that he keeps rubbing on his face. And I don't know, it's so distracting, this little toy donut that he keeps rubbing on his face, and I don't know It's so distracting this little toy donut that you have what is that? What's wrong with you? What is that man? Why what are you?

Dude you can't I know that it's not strictly a ritual man We've talked about it before, Grant, but like again, again you're doing this? You're going down this road again? If I hold up a tiny whale and rub it on my face while we're doing the podcast, you can't be like, what are you doing with that tiny whale? Why are you looking at me? Like, what is wrong with you? Because the cameras are on and you're rubbing a little You have me, Justin. There's so many other tabs to look at.

Justin, you have me until you got mad at Griffin for looking at you. Why are you looking at me? Because we're on a video still with each other. They don't call with each other. Look at the other tabs, you know what I look like. I know what you're looking at. You don't need to be looking at me.

Okay. I genuinely- This is for later for TikTok, it's not for you. The donut is later for TikTok, okay. It's for them, the video's for them, it's not for you. What were we just discussing? Goku wore weight. He wore weight.

I'm building my grip strength, Griffin, to answer your question, as my arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome continues to play in my medical field. Hey, it doesn't have to be in my medical field, Griffin. It was just a question. Oh, you wanted to make it a funny topic. Yeah, it's a medical thing, Griffin. It was just a question. Oh, you wanted to make it a funny topic for the show. Not a funny topic.

Again, no humor intended here. I just- Should I clear things? Should I clear things with you before time? Just so you guys know, you might be seeing a blue donut. Travis, I'm feeling extraordinarily othered by you right now for not jumping in and being like, it was distracting that you were

grabbing a little donut. No, I'm just trying to decide who's gonna win, and then I'm gonna side with them. Ha ha ha ha! Goku, to get strong, wore these crazy weights and shit on his ankles. And ate his vegetables. Let me finish my Goku bit.

Let me finish my Goku stuff. I'm side with Justin. Cause let me tell you, Travis, I don't actually know this stuff very well. It may have very well been a Vegeta or a Gohan or some other, a Boruto. No, there's a classic scene where Goku takes off the weight vest while he's in the middle of a tournament and they're like, what? He did all that with a weight vest? Yeah, you're right. I think it's not, I think you're wrong. So like, I don't even want to go that hard.

Whoa! So Goku- Wait, I was, wait, I was back here when you were saying- Trav, do you see what I mean? Yeah. Do you see how he's beating? He's beating, right? He's beating.

He's beating. For sure. If you're too fast, you gotta put on the Goku bracelets. But that's just gonna make them faster when they take away- I thought it was Vegeta, Griff. Is Goku or Vegeta or- Griffin's being a real Vegeta right now. Perhaps Piccolo.

I know the guy's names, I've never seen it. I've never seen the show. I would never fuck with this. But anyway- Why would you make that call? Why spread that kind of violence? That's like absolutely an S for Griffin, just a huge type of your-

I'm so sorry, I like thinking about Goku. But not consuming Goku content. No, not- He's like fantasizing about Goku. And if that's- But not consuming Goku content. No, not- He likes fantasizing about Goku is what you're saying. No, who's got the- Because he doesn't want it to be reality based. Who's got the tech? You just wanna make up your own headcanon about Goku.

My brain, my mind works so fast. I could imagine an entire season of the Dragon Ball show before you could even finish the first episode of the real Dragon Ball. Let's skip the first six episodes of the season. Because that's gonna be a lot of filler and set up. Let's pick them up in episode seven. As far as I know, we have Goku, we have Brian Piccolo.

We have. We have Steak Vegeta. We have Brian Piccolo for Brian's song yeah a reference that everyone should enjoy Actually, I actually the only human beings that will appreciate the Dragon Ball Z Brian song overlap. Yeah The ball really the bald ones there to everyone. The ball Old man with sunglasses. He's there too. Everyone's, the bald one whose head looks like a dragon ball. Old man with sunglasses, he's there too. All right, Griff, episode seven,

where do we find the gang? Well, get this, they're in the middle of a big tournament. Whoa. Yeah, and Goku has just come back to life. He died in three, and then, yeah, Gohan made a wish. He's been dead, wait, in the first six episodes, Goku was dead for three of them? Yeah.

That's why they felt like filler a little bit. Okay. A little bit. So they're losing, and then the bad one, whose name I should really, really, really remember, Krillin, that's the bald one. Pinzance. Pinzance goes Super Saiyan, which is like a thing they can do where they get even stronger.

And then he kicks Goku's ass to hell, and he dies again, and he has to ride on a big turtle back. So literally kicks his ass to hell. Kicks his ass right to hell, rides a big turtle back, he comes back, he turns Super Saiyan two, which is like yellow Super Saiyan, only blue. But if they're both Super Saiyan, wouldn't it cancel each other out?

Listen to me, listen to me. Does a one cancel out of two? Does a one cancel out of two? Does a one cancel out a two? What's two minus one? You still have a remainder, so Goku wins this one. There is no Super Saiyan three. There is no Super Saiyan three. This is the last episode of Dragon Ball Z.

Oh, he goes Super Saiyan two, number two. Yeah, oh sorry, yes, I can see how bad this would be confusing. Very confusing. He goes Super Saiyan dose, and then he kills him, and then that would be confusing. Very confusing. He goes Super Saiyan dose. Okay. And then he kills him and then that's the end. That's the end. And then after that, well the next season's Wizarding Glass

where Goku goes back in time. Well we flashback to Goku. You may be right. Going and traveling with his friends to stop, I don't know, a bad guy or whatever, but it's like 20 years earlier and we don't care about it. That's true. Do you guys ever, while you're in the middle of a bit that's heavily referential of a piece

of important cultural media, just feel the sudden urge to just wanna stop, wanna stop doing it, like be able to like press a button and just not be doing that bit anymore? I, you know what, Gov'n, sometimes I think if I can make been in a show that I've ever been in, and I've never been in a show that I've ever been in. I don't know if I've ever been in a show that I've ever been in, and I don't know if I've ever been in a show

that I've ever been in, and I don't know if I've ever been in a show that I've ever been in, and I don't know if I've ever been in a show that I've ever been in, and I don't know if I've ever been in a show that I've ever been in, and I don't know if I've ever been in a show

that I've ever been in, and I don't know if I've ever been in a show that I've ever been in, and I don't know if I've ever been in a show that I've ever been in, and I don't know if I've ever been in a show that I've ever been in, and I don't know if I've ever been in a show that I've ever been in, and I don't know if I've ever been in a show that I've ever been in, and I don't know if I have a deep enough pool to do Dragon Ball material.

And so far, I've used like literally everything I have. Yeah. And I don't know more about. It wasn't me. None of us have said over 9,000, which is good. That's kick ass. That lends us an air of credibility, at least, I think. Griffin, if you could teach me how to have the impulse

to wanna stop a bit that's not working, I'll pay you. The show would be, Travis, the structure, the fundamental bindings of our show would be, would be a... It actually, Travis, it's not your fault, it skips a generation, so. Oh, I see. I have it, Griffin has it, but you don't, it makes sense.

Yeah, that tracks. Travis is our uncle. Let's get it. Actually, Griffin, what I would say was a joke for the show. The big secret's out, guys. The name of the show's bit, Travis has been the me the whole time, because he's an uncle now. Technically, you are an uncle.

I mean, I am, yeah. Not my uncle, but. Can we go to the money zone? Not my uncle. This is, again, the second consecutive bit I have wanted to absolutely leap out of like a moving car. ["It's Better With You"] You know the most precious thing to me, Griffin? Oh, you're walking with Christ.

No, my dreams. My dreams, the problem with my dreams is they die with me. Unless, unless, unless I can start taking the steps to make those dreams a reality. You know what I mean? Everyone should get to share in my dreams. And if I wanna bring those out of this thing here, this meat here and put it out into the real world

where people can walk around my dreams, I gotta reach out to Squarespace and say hey What's up with what dude? I did not have the ad copy up and open Yeah, when you started doing this yeah, and that was not the company that I assumed we were advertising What if you had been like you know the problem is like dreams die with me anyways rocket money will save Yeah, I just wish I wish you guys would let me finish them before you start dismantling it because it is like where I'm flying the plane.

You have a point, you're right. You haven't finished the second wing. I know I haven't. I'm trying to build the plane as I go, guys. Cook, chef. I don't know the next sentence. You know that, right? Hey Griffin, it says right here in the ad copy,

do get creative with your ads, talk about how your dreams die with you, spiral the audience into an existential crisis, but then bring them back. It's not an existential crisis, I'm saying a dream unshared is a dream unrealized. And the first step to sharing your dream is to go to squarespace.com slash my brother

Unless. Unless I get aura. Yeah, are you okay? Can we time out? That was the most, you just did a- Were you eating a bunch of pudding before we recorded? That was crazy, man. Are you cool?

I have carpal syndrome. That doesn't have any effect on what your glottis, dude. And early onset arthritis. You don't have arthritic glottis. You can't convince me. Right, but they necessitate that. That is my favorite Pokemon though. Honey, in my morning coffee grip. When you have called glottis into arthritic Glottis, you can't convince me. Right, but they necessitate the honey in my morning coffee, Griffin.

When you have called Glottis into Arthridic Glottis, he gets a powerful attack. Don't just throw the donut at the microphone. Justin is absolutely- The donut is Justin's Glottis. He removed it from his throat. He's doing his Glottis. This is a Glottis model that I brought from home, Griffin.

So you're pretty embarrassed now. It's a scientific tool. See, my GLaDOS is like doing this. Oh, Griffin, you're embarrassed now. Oh, I'm sorry, hold on, wait. I'm reading the AuraFrame's ad copy now, and it says, give it the muddiest, cruddiest delivery. You absolutely can't.

Oh, the front. Work that GLaDOS, nasty boy. It says right there. Work that wagglock. I carried the last ad on my flipping back, guys. Why don't you cruise on down the road with this one, right? Do you have a man that's all glottis and no memory? Sure, we all do.

We all have that. Give him an Aura frame so at least he'll still have the glottis, but now his memories can be digitally downloaded directly into the Aura frame. No bullshit. No, I'm not talking about cyber stuff. I'm talking about your photos. Because AuraFrames was named the best digital photo frame by Wirecutter, and it's easy to see why. There's unlimited storage, so you can add as many photos,

videos, and get this, funny memes, as you can find. And it's so simple to set up, just plug it in and share away. You can even share remotely.

Terms and conditions, supply.

Over the past couple of years, I picked up bird watching as a hobby. Cool. To really put this into perspective for you, I skipped my senior prom to look at birds. I've recently acquired a nice-ed binocular. You could've looked at some nice birds at the prom. Hey! Check out them birds.

Hey. I recently acquired a nice set. My gym in high school is full of birds. It's important to know, it didn't have a roof. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a really holy gym. I've recently acquired a nice set of binoculars, which are great for when I'm out in the middle of nowhere, but when I'm sitting on my porch trying to figure out

what kind of bird is on my neighbor's roof, how do I use my binoculars without looking like a complete and total freak? That's from Scared of Being Perceived in Cincinnati. There's gotta be a shirt. Or a sign. Would a sign help? A sign would.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Have we had, have we talked about having a shirt that says I'm definitely bird watching and how that will definitely make you seem like you're doing anything but bird watching? It feels like us. It feels like some shit we'd say. That does say like, sounds like something we would say, but maybe we dreamed it. Yeah. Yeah. It's possible. It could be like a Matrix thing.

Just yell out a bird every time you see one. You're good. Every few seconds yell out a bird could help. There's another one. Whistling is probably detrimental, right? Like, or do you have to do bird calls to summon the birds you wanna catch? Maybe a big bird net? I don't look up birds that you're checking off. I, the level of self-accountability you would need

to do this hobby, to do this hobby period is absolutely beyond me. Like I would stand in one place for 10 minutes and just decide like, it has to be that thing. It has to be that bird I wanted to see. It has to be. There's no way it has, I've been out here 10 minutes. That's definitely a red breasted warbler, you know, whatever.

As long as you do just a small bit of research into birds in your area, how's that, if you're like, I saw a hawk, no one's gonna be like, no you didn't! No fucking way, man. Hawks, I would believe, anywhere's gotta have hawks, right? Yeah, everywhere's got hawks. Cause if there's a place that doesn't have hawks,

one hawk could show up in that place and would be fucking in charge. Big bird flies by, I just point at it and go, ah, turkey vulture. And whatever it is, I don't know. No, it's just anyway. They're so fast, like birds are so fast and so small. It's so easy to lie about birds.

That's a really good point, Griffin. We often forget that. I was thinking a shirt that said like, I'm not a pervert, I'm bird watching, would be cool. Yeah, I like. But then I thought that would be a very specific use case that you could wear that shirt. There's probably lots of hobbies that would benefit

by having a shirt that just said, I'm not a pervert on it. So if you were doing something that might be interpreted as perverse, they would see your shirt and be like, must be birdwatching instead. Here's the problem, Griffin. What if I am a pervert? I just don't feel like answering a lot of questions right now. There you go.

That's why I'm saying, how do we check for perversion before- Or a different pervert. Oh, a different flavor of pervert. I'm a pervert. I'm a different kind of pervert. I'm not this particular kind of pervert. Ask me about my perversion. I'm a different breed of pervert.

100% pervert, but not that kind. Not that kind. That'd be cool. And then it would have all the big dog iconography on it. Legally binding. Legally binding. It wouldn't say big dog, it would say a different breed of pervert.

I'm not a regular pervert, I'm a grandma. We could fill it in with a bunch of different ones. I'm not a regular pervert, I'm a grandma. We can fill it in with a bunch of different ones. I'm not a regular pervert, I'm a woodworker. Right, we can have a- I'm not a regular pervert, I'm a Pisces. Yeah, there we go. The difference between me and you, I am a pervert and I don't wanna talk about it.

Yeah, the difference between me and you is our flavor perversion. I think the type of bird bird watching is important here too. If you're one of these types of bird watchers that's looking for specific birds, or they want to note the birds that they've seen or keep track of it. I think that that kind of bird watching is going to look somewhat suspicious. I think if you get into a more, what I like is a more sort of freeform, open-ended bird watching that gets back to the heart of it. You're watching birds. You're smearing peanut butter on your arm

and sprinkling bird seed on them, standing out in the yard. You're just looking at them. Hey man, yeah! If you just see someone in your neighborhood with binoculars pointing at the sky, swinging around like, yeah man, go! Or, woo, look at him go! They're not gonna think that you're a pervert.

I was kind of contemplating more of a Brenda Fricker like the birds come to me, I don't need binoculars. Well that's the end game. Once the birds are super comfortable with your presence in the neighborhood, that you will have Brenda Fricker bird powers. Bird watching is a thing that I think sounds very cool. And one time I downloaded an app

that can help you identify what different birds are. And that's cool, because I would have no way of knowing that information otherwise. So I was using this app to identify birds, and I did that for about five minutes. And then I just instead opened up Pokemon Go, because that's what I was doing.

That's what I was, if I'm being honest myself. Which is like bird watching. If I want a digital animal collecting experience, there's a place for me to do that already. Okay, listen, guys, here's my billion dollar app idea. It's a bird identifying app that is localized right to your neighborhood. But it doesn't tell you like the species of bird,

it tells you their first name. So when I see that bird, like the first user to find that bird gets to name that bird. And then every time that bird gets recognized by the app. How does the app tell, just a quick question off the top of my head, how does the app tell the different,

who the different individual birds are? We got microchips. Chip them, yeah. Chip, yeah the different individual birds are. Microchips. Chip them, yeah, chip. We're gonna chip the birds. I was thinking chip. I'm glad you said it, Travis.

Who is chipping them? Who is catching them? The first person to find it. Yes, Griffin. God. Griffin. Do I have to spell it out for you or do you want it on the ground floor? I can't get you.

Okay, well there is a difference. I don't know, I don't know much about the bird watching hobby. I don't think grabbing, I don't think grabbing them. You don't grab them, you use a little hook. There's watchers and hookers. There's two different breeds in bird watching, okay? And yeah, we have a lot of fun with that. Yes, Griffin, before you laugh.

Yes, like hookers, okay? We're job creators. Yeah, yeah. Every bird you hook earns you one bird coin. And that's not a hobby, right? That's a profession. Yeah, that's an obligation. What do you do with bird coins?

Well, you can spend them on skins for your avatar. Fuck. Or skin. Yeah, or skin. Bird skin, the best. Bird hooking doesn't always go smoothly. You take those skins home, you fry them up, nice for your kids, they're gonna love that.

They're gonna think they're having an appetizer. Today's sponsor is bird skins, the best. Don't throw those things away. No. The bird skins are the best. Whenever you buy skillless chicken breasts at the store, you gotta think, aw man. Cause they're not selling big shrink wrap packaged skin.

I just want the skin. That's why my new company is so powerful. We're turning them into chips. Nando's gets really frustrated with me when I roll up like, let me just get the skin. They say that's not possible, sir. Then what are they doing with it? Are they using it for bird coin?

They're doing something with it and they're not fucking telling the rest of us. Wait, are they trying to undermine my business? You guys have a Nando's or is that just, you ever have a Cheeky Nans? No? Damn, must be hard. I'd love to have a Cheeky Nans, that sounds great.

Recently at my work, a local karate dojo paid to set up a table and prize wheel to advertise to new clients. I spun the wheel and asked, mainly to be polite since I'd be in the lobby with them for the next eight hours, I won a karate patch. But then they asked me to give my phone number

and set a date and time to collect it along with two weeks of free karate nice try. They couldn't bring the patch with them? No, it's heavy. Brothers, I have no time or desire for karate classes, but now I keep getting texts from them about how they can't wait to see me and the other winners. They printed us name tags and everything.

I didn't even win the bow staff or the nunchucks. Shit, how do I avoid karate peer pressure? That's from No Nugi in New Jersey, which is good. Good shit, man. Are they gonna teach you how to fight using the patch? Because if a bow staff and nunchucks were available and a patch, perhaps it will be some sort of like, yes, it seems like a simple patch,

but it can also be thrown as a weapon. I mean, think about it. You can't just give someone a patch for your dojo without knowing that they are going to be responsible practitioners of this martial art. You can't- Or at least be a good face for the dojo.

Yeah. If there's a bar fight, somebody steps up and I'm like, oh, this guy is gonna protect me. He's got a karate patch on. And then he gets slid down the bar like an old timey western bad guy. And like he smashes all the guys all the way. And I'm like, that dojo sucks.

They can take the patch and sew it on the back of their members only jacket, then go out to the local bar and just start spin kicking people. That's gonna look terrible for you. Your form's gonna be bad. You're gonna be a bully. As Travis has suggested, they're wearing a karate patch

and you're like, yeah, I saw this guy. He's absolutely handed to him at the bar. They took him to the bathroom, kicked him a hundred times, made him eat a urinal cake, and he had this patch on, and I was like, must be a pretty shitty dojo. Every time I'm at a farmer's market, and I see almost always a dentist with a little tent set up, and he's like,

we got prizes, you guys like fidget spinners. It's like, nice fucking try, dude. Especially when you're walking around with your kids, all of they see a big spinning wheel and prize, and we're five feet away from the human being at the table, and my kids are like, oh, I wanna spin the wheel, and I have to, like, I have to shut that down without saying, because this is a scam.

Stop indoctrinating my kids into your cult of dental wellness. It's mostly made up, and that's a big position to take. For some reason, for me, Griffin, it's always gutter services. There are people who will do gutters, and they're like, spin the wheel, and you'll get a piece of bubble gum,

and I'll get all of your daddy's info and dox him. I think we've covered on this show before how my slide into financial instability began with me getting a free hat at a Reds game for a credit card application that my mom told me I shouldn't have signed up for. She was right. So I got tricked by that. And then I, oopsies, flash forward to I'm in college and things are going pretty bad for me. Now here's what I'll say about that little scam that I got rubbed into versus the this karate scam Which is maybe a scam. Maybe it's a great business idea I don't know it depends on if it works on you or not But that's the nature of scale it did not when I went through my experience my trial

It did not equip me with the tools to make sure that I was never a victim again, right? Yeah, at least if you get if you get bullied in if this works on you, you need it. Yes, absolutely. Yeah, if this sales pitch works on you, you do not have the inner confidence of a karate master. If Justin were to get bullied in his 30s, he wasn't able to say like, ha, joke's on you, I have crippling financial debt.

But I then used that to his advantage. You know what I could say, Travis? I have a blue belt in Taekwondo, and I'm never going back. Never, it's too hard. I have an old red space walk out somewhere. Guys, I have no idea what to do with this blue belt. Oh my God.

Jesus. It doesn't come up as often as you thought. It's been a year and a half even. I remember nothing. Dude. But if I went back in and had to start at White Belt, I'd lose my fucking mind. But you must-

So now I'm just stuck. I can never go back. You must understand that of all the things that the three of us have kind of picked up and then sat down as we went on our merry way, you are the only one with any kind of prowess, I think, that will make you useful when the when the shit hits the fan. I want you in my corner.

I can't be like, yeah, guys, do you want to know about making hard candy? I got to say, Griffin, Travis and I know how to cut a lot of stuff in a lot of different ways. That's true. I know how to hit really hot metal with a hammer. But Justin, here's the thing, right now, yeah, sitting here in your comfy podcast chair in your comfy podcast studio, you don't remember that.

What you need to do is get yourself in a high tension, high adrenaline situation, and it's all gonna come flooding back to you. Now I have to warn you, Justin, there is a 5% chance that it will not all come flooding back to you. And I'm to warn you, Justin, there is a 5% chance that it will not all come flooding back to you. And I'm gonna say, Justin, it's not 5%, it's like 79%. You will die, but if it all comes flooding back to you,

maybe you'll feel alive for maybe the first time ever. New business idea. Okay. It's a business that- Beat up Justin. Teaches you, beat up Justin, fight Justin for money online. New business idea is a business that teaches you who beat up just fight Justin for money online. New business idea is a business that teaches people how to not get scammed and ripped off by predatory farmers market vendors.

And then also teaches them how to fight really well to kick ass in case they do get slipped up. And the business is called the business is called Scamwise Slam G, and G is me, that's my new name is Scamwise Slam G. And then- I love that, Gervin. And if I get you, Yeah?

If I get you at the farmer's market, then I say like, this is bad for you, this is an expensive program, but no dig. Oh, so you're like getting them to do it, and then you're like, that was a mistake, that was less than a voice. They only have to, you're like getting them to do it and then you're like that was a mistake That was that was only half to do it Maybe they only have to do it until they can get the next person to do it You know what I mean? Like you just get the next person to sign up and you're off the hook. That's interesting

And then they're stuck now. What if each person you got? Yeah, right? Hey, you a dollar Justin this is an exciting new business shape that you're describing kind of of like a rhombus. Yes, I call it the half diamond. I don't know how to fight. Okay. Griffin, we all knew that. Okay, here is a question.

If you were to pursue some means of self-defense, and I was like, Griffin, you gotta sign up for self-defense elective this year. Where, send jokes out of the room. Where do you think you would be best of luck? Like where do your strengths lie? And don't say a capoeira because that would be a joke and I'll know it, okay?

So don't say capoeira. Well, that sucks, dude, because that's the right answer and it is what I'd say, but it's not like now I feel like I can't. That's a cool answer, that's a cool answer, but you, there's, you know that if you were to go to Capoeira class and then come to my brother, my brother would be like, guess what, guys, I'm a Capoeira master. Like, it would be good for your brand, but it would take a very long time for it to reach possibility.

Can I tell you mine, this is mine straight up, and I think I'd have to build from here, but I don't think it would be physical so much as it would be mental. I would have to be trained to take a lot of pain and punishment because I don't think I'd win in the fight so much as I think I'd be able to tire them out by just letting them hit me a lot

until they didn't feel good about what they were doing anymore. That's a costly one. And then they'd walk away. It'll work at some cost. As you guys know, I took the skills I learned about what they were doing anymore. And then they walk away. That's a costly one. It'll work at some cost. As you guys know, I took the skills I learned as an Olympic level Judo master into the boardroom.

But then I got so good at using those Judo skills in the boardroom that I didn't have to do Judo anymore. I just had the business stuff going on for me. Yeah, sure. Yeah. I would like to pitch a new series, a sequel series to Cobra Kai. All right. Thank God.

In which a new dojo emerges. Okay. Where Cobra Kai is strike hard, strike first, strike hard, something like that, right? When this new dojo- You should know what it is. You've seen that show more than anyone else I know. That's true.

And this new dojo though is like, well, we're gonna strike before you Cobra Kai. And they start showing up at Cobra Kai's house before the matches and punching Cobra Kai there. Yeah, while they're sleeping. And they're really well funded, this dojo, right? The guy who runs it is named Joe and he's really, really rich.

It's Joe-do's dojo. And they're, they're. Do they teach Judo there? It's Joe-do's Judo-dojo. It's Joe does judo, Joe does judo, Joe. One more time, Graham, get it clean. Joe does, Joe does judo, dojo. Yes, there we go.

Yeah, this is a good show. I would watch this. Who's in it? Who've we got attached? Seth Rogen. Machio's down. Seth Rogen, Ralph Machio. I didn't say Ralph. No. I didn't say Ralph.

No, I didn't say Ralph. Sorry, sorry, which Machio? Hachi Machio? You got Hachi Machio? Machio's involved. Machio Randy Savage? We got the family, the Machio family's involved. Seth Rogen voices the dog, obviously.

It'd be a kick-ass episode of Cobra Kai if they were nervous about the big fight coming up, and then they, so they snuck into one of their opponent's houses and put an actual Cobra in bed with them. Oh, Griffin. Oh, Griffin. They've certainly done that.

There's lots of snake intimidation factor here. Is there actually a lot of Cobra work in Cobra Kai? Yeah, multiple Cobras appear throughout the season. Is there a Cobra Kai RPG? I feel like we're missing a trick here, guys, for not having our own dojos. There's a Cobra Kai ARG, but that's just getting beat up by teens. Here's the first clue. Kicking. I've solved it!

Kick yourself. Kick yourself.org. Anita Reynolds, kick yourself.org. Anita Reynolds, KickYourself.org, forward slash seven three nine. I don't have time to go in there. Is the second dot in there? Yeah, I don't have time to do the Kick Yourself eco hunt. I'm just gonna wait for the four hour explainer videos that come out in a couple of years.

Hey, thank you so much for listening to our podcast. I really enjoy, this has been a stressful week for me at the theater, but this has been a very enjoyable respite from that. Why is it stressful, you ask? Well, we're doing the prom this summer. It's going to be- That's a musical.

I should make it clear, I also did not realize that this is a musical. I thought Justin was hosting some sort of independent prom. No, it's a fantastic musical. It's gonna be at Huntington, Ritter Park Amphitheater at the shows at 8.30. There's a pre-show before, I'm pretty sure.

And you can search for tickets on Facebook or there's certainly a link. What days are this show? It's this weekend, as you're listening to this, right? So it's June, I gotta get a calendar, hold on, this is ridiculous. I used to be a professional. Listen, guys, listen.
