My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 770: Hy-paw-thesis

Episode Date: July 7, 2025

We’ve gotten chosen to participate in some extreme versions of children’s playground games. But not the stuff you’re used to, like licking wafers. We’re talking games like zoo jogging, wing sauce mixology, and sneaking into Baskin Robbins after dark.Suggested talking points: Squid Game Den Mom, Deadly Cornhole, Five Nights at Louvries, Sydney Sweeney Todd, Gesticulatory ExcitementImmigrant Defenders Law Center: https://www.immdef.org/

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've never seen what was coming for me Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach

My life, it feels like My life, ah ah ah ah It's better, it's better with you My life, ah ah ah ah It's better, it's better with you This is true, ah ah ah ah It's better, it's better with two My life, ah ah ah ah It's better, it's better with two By way of Ah. Guess what, dudes? What? I got great news.

Things are about to turn around. Things are gonna turn around for three of us in a big, major way. Ooh, I've been waiting for them to turn around. I got my letter, yesterday, in the mail. I got picked for the next squid game. Oh, Griffin? They got, they're gonna get, I'm gonna be in the,

I'm gonna do the next squid game. I will say, I only know a little bit about the franchise. I didn't know that they communicated via the US Postal Service. Yeah, I was surprised too. I think that's how they do it in the sort of North American branch. Oh, okay.

Because no one's really checking that shit anyway. I just don't like when they adapt it, you know what I mean? The American Squid game is gonna be so weird comparatively. Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure. The games I will be a little bit more familiar with probably, these Deadly Backyard games. Right, like Deadly Cornhole and stuff like that.

Deadly Cornhole, I have heard they did that last squid game, so I doubt they're gonna bring it back for another one, but it was like Cornhole, but the Cornhole board had a big landmine in it. Oh, man. So if you hit it, it blew up the other team and they died. Maybe regular lawn darts? Regular, it's just called fast lawn darts.

That was, again, that was last season, they got you with that, so probably no repeats there. I'm gonna be working this season, Griffin as a den mom. Oh! On Squid Game? In the Squid Game this year. I'm gonna be, they'll probably put me in a different region, but.

What's that mean? What do you do? So basically, I'm the guy who, after the Squid Game, if you die, I get your stuff, and I put it in a trash bag and toss it out of the trash chute, and if you don't die, I get your stuff and I put it in a trash bag and toss it in a trash chute. And if you don't die, I give you a juice box and a banana flavored Little Debbie.

Oh cool. A banana flavored Little Debbie. The banana cake Little Debbie is the only one we got in stock. Those are so good. They're so good, yeah. You get, it's like a moon pie, but worse. Well, I'll see if I can work on that, Justin. I got hired to do craft services.

That's cool. For the competition. Sorry, I need to be very clear that I am not talking. I got hired to do crowd services. That's cool. For the competition. Sorry, I need to be very clear that I am not talking. No, for the competition. Yeah. Okay, good. I didn't, I guess they do feed them. You do gotta feed them, I guess? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Can I tell you, I'm freaking out, though, because I kinda committed to catering for like 600 people. I told them I could do it, and they said, you have like a company and stuff, and I said, yeah, I don't. See, that's funny you said that, because my letter said, bring your food from home. They said, bring a bag lunch, and I said,

won't I be there for six days? And they were like, yeah, but you're not gonna be around for six, let's be honest, man, you're not gonna be able to hang, just the one bag lunch will get you there. They do the first game, first thing on the first day, and then you end up with twice as many lunches as there are people. Bag lunches, that's exactly right. And then Griffin, you just keep halving it to go on.

Then it filters down, you're right, Trav, yeah. Griffin, you just have to hope that there will be an understanding amongst all the participants that you will be killed later at some point, and it is not an urgent thing that you're going to be killed in the mean time. Keep me around as a special little snack.

You know what I mean? Like something, yeah. It's always nice to know when you're in a squid game scenario and God knows the three of us have been there too many times. It's nice to have- I've never been in a squid game. Oh really?

My first squid game. Yeah, have you done a squid game? Oh, a couple, yeah. Shit man. Wait, how come you don't have like a billion, billion dollars? I gave it away. That's in one.

Yeah. Okay. I gave it. I gave it to one. Yeah, my friend one. Yeah And it's in one's pocket. It was all in crypto Yeah, which was the mistake I made you gave your friend one a flash drive Yeah, but it's important that you pick somebody where you're like, I don't like them Nobody does and so when we get to the inevitable scenario where you're like, I don't like them, nobody does. And so when we get to the inevitable scenario where they're like, you have to kill somebody to move on to the next one, we've kept him around for that.

I'm not gonna, I don't wanna do that. If the games are like, you gotta kill someone, I'll be like, mm, pass. Cause they let you pass one game. Oh! If there's a game they say like, Man, I wish I had known that, man. They're like, today we're playing four square, but instead of the ball, we're gonna use a gun.

And you bounce the gun on the ground, and then you have to use it and hurt someone, I would say pass on that one. Can I tell you the worst part about being on a square game, Griffin, you have this to dread, the waivers. Oh my God, you gotta sign so many waivers. Waivers, those little cookie things.

No, that's great. That's why they brought me into new craft services, because I know the recipe for many waivers. Yeah. Wait, first those little cookie things? No, that's great. That's why they brought me in to do craft services because I know the recipe for the wafers. I got, you know what guys, kidding aside, those little wafers, where you gotta etch those out with a needle, they're the same, they're seafoam candy, basically. Wait, do I have to make those?

Well, they're one of my favorite candies. And my problem is, I'm such a little stinker. Oh, for sure. That I'd get in there and start trying to get out my umbrella or my diamond or whatever, and I'd think, mm-hmm. You know, I'd get hungry. I'd start with the scraps.

I would break off parts and be like, mm-hmm. In the squid game they did for Netflix, where they filmed one of them. Yeah, that was great. You put it on Netflix, no problem. A bold choice, no problems. They got exactly the right lesson from putting that on their network.

The guy, absolutely, Mr. Beast at least had a great takeaway from that series. The guy who solved it, the hero, licks the back of it to weaken the structure of it so he can carve it out. But I'm thinking, yeah, right, Buster, you just wanted to lick some of that foam, I can tell. So sorry, when you said the Squid Games, they filmed for Netflix, you meant?

Of the mini Squid Game, they do. Yeah, the Squid Game, not the Squid Games. They recorded one of them a few years back and they put it up on Netflix, called it Squid Games. Sorry, have you guys been saying Squid Games? Because I thought you were saying like Disney's Kid Games where you went and you competed. Yeah, I was doing like Wild N Crazy Kids.

And I was. Squid Games that they filmed was the one that they did with actual people for real stakes. That's what I thought you meant because they actually did the Squid Games. No, I'm so sorry. Yes, they did a weird knockoff where I guess the real world guys were like, and now we're doing Squid Game with real people. No, I'm so sorry. Yes, they did a weird knockoff where I guess the real world guys were like,

and now we're doing Squid Game. And it's like, they're already doing Squid Game, dude. You don't need to also do Squid Game, they just recorded a Squid Game. Yeah, do you like your chances? Absolutely not. Law of Large Numbers, there's like 500 of these fucking guys that I'm going up against.

I do not like my chances. The only game I was ever good at at the school yard was Four Square. I don't mean to brag, but that's not, that doesn't really count. You don't only think- The only thing I ever did was Cookie Crunching, and that's hard for me because I feel like my one skill's not gonna be that good

because I don't want to see that wafer and I'm thinking I'm gonna move. Yeah, for sure. Delicious. I don't think, I'm, let's talk, I don't want to see that wafer and I'm thinking I'm gonna move. Yeah, for sure. Delicious. I don't think, I'm, let's talk, I don't wanna. You don't wanna, I don't wanna do a squiggity. I'm second guessing the shirt. That's what I, that's.

Oh man, no, the shirt beats that shirt. No, it's a great shirt. I don't know, man, I feel like I look like Beetlejuice got a wish and became a real boy. I don't know. No! Just a guess. You look like Beetlejuice coming out of the jungle mists. I don't think, I didn't get. What, like Beetlejuice on the foray? They probably didn't. I didn't like Beetlejuice coming out of the jungle mists. I don't think I didn't get. What, they're like Beetlejuice on the far right?

They probably didn't. I didn't get Beetlejuice at all. I got like a cool character that everybody likes on White Lotus. Yeah. If you felt like I was pushing myself too far. No, man. No, Goggins would wear that.

You know that, now you know that. I don't know the show, but Goggins would wear that. But you know the feeling, I don't wanna talk about the shirt specifically. I wanna talk about the feeling of when you put on a garment where you know you're pushing it a little bit. I've never felt that, Justin. You know that you are lying about who you are

and you're hoping everyone else just kinda goes with it. It doesn't point out that. No, I don't think so. No. Big Sean McElroy. What's that feel like? I think it's okay to step into that. We all wear masks. Ooh.

Jim Carrey said that. I have a Japanese style, I have a Japanese style jacket that was advertised to me on Facebook. It's like a tasteful, elegant jacket that ties at the front with a tasteful tie. Are you just bragging or? No, it's been hanging in my closet for several months.

Like a yucca for boys? Perhaps, every time that I take it down, I think perhaps this is the elegant occasion I must say no. Where I'm gonna wear this garment. I must protest. I simply must stand on business right now, Justin, and tell you I don't think so.

I disagree. I know, listen, Griffin, we are in, as you can tell from my lack of ever wearing it, 100% agreement. A full agreement, yeah. Full agreement, yeah. Well, Justin, I disagree with Griffin here. It's the first time it's ever happened. But I'm gonna say, when you put on a garment,

you must ask yourself, who is wearing who? And I think that if you put that elegant jacket on and you second guess yourself, that jacket's wearing you, my man. And that's not the case. You gotta put that jacket on and make that jacket your own and know that you're wearing it.

And the other jackets are like, damn, you're looking good, other jacket, what is that? And they're like, it's a Justin, he's so fly. I'm saying though that by wearing, the wearing of this frock would, I know that I would have to believe it to pull it off. Yes. And that belief would represent such an incredible act of hubris on my part.

Oh, that's what they don't tell you about the Emperor's new clothes. Is that there's a version of that where everybody's like, listen, I know he's not wearing any clothes, but that man's confident as hell. Look at that dude. So bold, hanging brain I know he's not wearing any clothes, but that man's confident as hell. Look at that dude.

So bold, hanging brain out in the public yard. And I think we're supposed to mock him in that story, but here's a dude who looks at himself naked and says, I look so good that even though, listen, I'm in on it too, I know I'm naked, but damn, look at this. There's an alternate ending of that story where that kingdom becomes a naked kingdom

Yes, it's like damn. He's so brave and bold. What are we doing with these things? Why are we ashamed of these forms that God gave us is a religious story in my version of it and then I'm sorry. Go ahead. And then everyone be naked. Go ahead. I'm done. Beautiful. Beautiful. Give me 30 seconds Oh last chance to get your bets in on whether you think I pull it off. I'll come back in. Are you gonna change? Oh, you're putting on the jacket. I know exactly where it is. The jacket? 30 seconds.

Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna put it on, and then we'll get an official vote. Okay. All right. Griffin and I will talk about it. Okay. No matter what, we should give it a 10 out of 10. Well, it's gonna depend entirely on the length for me.

Oh, really? What length works for you? If it's a jacket with a cinch, there's interpretations of that, that I think work for Justin. If it is knee length, all of a sudden, I don't think you- If there's a mid-thigh, I think I would enjoy it. Mid-thigh is even approaching,

is approaching the danger zone for me, if I'm being honest. Well, there's a shortness too that wouldn't work. Well, yeah, I mean, well, I don't know, cause I kinda like a fucking like, cyberpunk crop top jacket. I think Justin could pull one of those off really fucking good. Yeah, well, but then why would it have a cinch,

why would it have a tie if it's a crop top? You don't need a cinch for a crop top, yeah, no, I mean, that would be a circle. Defeating the purpose, I wouldn't mind arguing. Just go around your armpits. I don't know where the cinch would even go at that point. Yeah. All right, here we go.

All right, let's see it. Maximize your window for the full effect. Yeah, good call. Ooh, I like the color. Let me see. What material is this? Huh? What material is this that we're talking about? I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this.

I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this. I'm gonna go ahead and do this. so you could do work in it. So I roll up to the function. Yeah.

Bind it, cinch it. This is not what I was expecting. I was expecting more of a Yukata. This is just like a, I'm saying if you had a clean, crisp white shirt. Yeah. Maybe an Asgard. If I had, like me, Justin Tyler McElroy.

Like I'm the person who's doing this. I tell you man, I'll tell you what it's giving me. And you can take this how you want it and sort of measure yourself against it if that is how you choose. This is giving me Ethan Hunt on the lamb in Jakarta or something like fucking running along rooftops. Like it's giving me kind of action jacket.

You're saying if I make a hole with a gun perpendicular to me, who I am on the planet, the absolute opposite 100%- Through the mantle. I think it's through the mantle core of the earth, pops out the 100% opposite furthest I could be from how I should be dressed, like the biggest possible miss is what you're saying.

Here's what I'll say, the fit is great. The fit is great. And I think if you rolled up to like a backyard barbecue. The tummy bolo I could honestly do without. Is it real? But I'm saying the t-shirt underneath makes it look like not right. But if you had-

The t-shirt underneath is because the Beetle right. But if you had- The t-shirt underneath is because the Beetlejuice shirt would look absolutely wild. A white dress, cool sunglasses. You were out at a summer barbecue. What are those? Or a patio party. I was taking off my sunglasses. Those are so small, man.

Your fingers were so little. Why are you- If you had some Morpheus, some cool Morpheus glasses. Oh yeah, dude, some Morpheus half moon glasses. This should be a new segment on the show, if it checked. Some Morpheus half moon glasses, sunglasses, with that untied, very short Yukata, I think is a strong fucking look.

Those are not gonna be half moon. You think these gunners with it? Is this selling it? No, I don't think it. The Game of Goss is actually fully ruined. No, that actually broke it. Fully, fully ruins it, man. Okay, fair enough.

All right, well thank you guys for indulging me. I appreciate it. Yeah, sure, of course. I think you could pull it off. Well, we just demonstrated the opposite, so your hypotheticals could be a lie. Is that what you took away from that? The problem is the shorts. You promised the shorts were, yeah.

The problem is the shorts were, yeah. If I had elegant slacks with it. If I saw the cargo pockets peeking up over that jacket. That's the problem. Yeah, it spoils it. I'm just saying when you rolled over that jacket, it was not a no for me. That there was potential there, I think you could do it. There will come a day, don't get rid of it,

is what I'm saying. There will come a day where you get rid of it. Get rid of it. Yeah, what I do with my clothes is I donate them to Harmony House. And I feel like that jacket would land even worse there than it is in my home, honestly, if it's even less appropriate there, I don't know.

There would be some confusion. Yeah. There would be some mild, yeah. There's a, yeah. Here's our first question. I work at the zoo as a lion scientist. Let's come with a lion scientist please. Fucking hell man.

Cool, you learn about so many cool fucking jobs through this show, don't you guys? I'm glad that I, it does sound like a lion who's a scientist. That would be a scientist lion, I guess. It does sound like a lion who's a scientist, but I love that there's enough. Can I say so far you don't know if that's true,

because if a lion was a scientist, they would be able to write an email to a podcast. I guess that there's enough. Can I say so far you don't know if that's true? Because if a lion was a scientist, they would be able to write an email to a podcast. I guess that's true. I assumed they would be doing lion-based science, which I think shows a lot of ignorance on my end. Yeah, but they work at the zoo because it's a fucking lion, man. You can't be running around in public.

Maybe they work at the zoo like a writer might write at a coffee shop, right? Where it's just like, I don they work at the zoo like a writer might write at a coffee shop, right? Where it's just like, I don't work at the coffee shop. I do my work at the coffee shop. They're being polite. They live in a zoo. It's a lion. You know what I mean?

Like they're being tasteful about it. Would a lion doing lion experiments have like hypotheses like what happened I eat too- Hypotheses. Thank you. What happened I eat too pig tummy hurt? Like drink from drink, I'll, I drink yucky water, tummy hurt, like a lot of just sort of like figuring out

if tummy hurt when. Where does Gazelle go after eat? Where does Gazelle go after eat? My hypothesis, sharks. What is red water and gazelle? Why delicious? Why delicious? The question I, the lion scientist, have to ask is,

how come the circle of life features so much poop? Has so much defecate? Circle of life is more of a sine wave of life where it's like, oh, a thing is alive, and then something eats it and turns it into poop, and then that goes right back to grass. It just kind of grass guy, grass guy, you thing is alive. And then something eats it and turns it into poop. And then that goes right back to grass. It just kind of grass guy, grass guy, you know? And poop is alive.

I'm just saying that if I was a lion test and I'm at the zoo, I would have so many chances to see people cooking and eating food that they would look at like the raw shit they're eating and go, huh, can I? A lot of cooking happening at the zoo that I'm not aware of? Yeah, man.

People gotta eat. People gotta eat. But from the lion exhibit. That's the whole appeal of the aquarium. Is you get to see people cooking? No, it's just you go to the aquarium and you go, man, I wanna eat some fish. I ate that.

Hey, I would love to keep reading this question. Oh yeah, make it past the first sentence if you insist. This comes with unlimited free zoo access during opening hours. Additionally, my girlfriend and I love jogging together. The city I live in does not have many good parks for jogging, but the zoo has a lot of open green spaces and pedestrianized paths.

You know I read these when you write them. You know I read them out loud. Don't do things like that. Drop a little Caltrips for you along the way. Yes. When you write them, you know I read them out loud. Don't do things like that. Drop a little caltrops for you along the way. Pedestrian eyes, yeah, thank you. Hey, I'm just saying, question after, that makes it sound like they didn't begin as paths for pedestrians,

but pedestrians have taken them over. Yeah. Cool. I have seen nobody jog at the zoo ever, but people do come in to walk with their dogs. How can I start jogging at the zoo without alerting the zoo security and losing my job? That's from Tidditt in the tear park in Berlin. That must be a weird fucking experience for a dog.

To go and walk around the zoo? Yeah, sure. Where the dog's like, I have a hard time with squirrels. What the fuck is that? It would be like if you took me on a trip to Monster Jail and it was like humans sort of, but they were 12 feet tall with like claws and crazy shit.

I was like, cool, cool. They look alarmingly like me, cool. So you're saying stay small, stay nice? I guess so. I feel like the zoo's one of those places you cannot run. Like a poolside or a courthouse, or there's not a lot of places, but I feel like the zoo's one of those places.

Because if I see someone running at the zoo, I'm also going to start running at the zoo. Yeah, so, right. Because the gorilla's gone out. I 100% agree with you. I feel like running at the zoo is like yelling fire in a crowded theater. There is an assumption if you're running at the zoo is like yelling fire in a crowded theater. There is an assumption if you're running at the zoo.

Now I think I also have an assumption that even if you weren't being chased, by running at the zoo and running past the large animals there, I feel like you were running the risk of triggering some sort of biological. Oh, absolutely. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Normally they would it, but they're like, something in their brains like, pfft, gotta kill it, gotta do it, go. I think that there is a level of animation one could achieve to, like a hyper jogging animation one might see in a cartoon, where people will be like, that's jogging. Right, where there's no panics.

Oh, if you have a sweatband, oh, okay, good point. And you're like fully trumping. Sweatband and short shorts. Yeah, ankle weights, wrist weights. That's why the Hineson Mall printed out those T-shirts and said like, I'm not insane, I paid to be a mall walker, which maybe that makes me insane, I don't know. You gotta pay?

Yeah, man, because you get in early. You can go in before, like, that's how some people got, like, would get early in line for consoles. They would pay to be a mall walker, and they would go walk up to the Babbage's and stand outside of it, and then go get a console. That's a very generational indication that an, of an age where someone would be worried

that the mall might be too crowded to walk around in during business hours. Fair point. Yeah, or maybe they just don't want a bunch of fucking jabronis with Forever 21 bags slowing down their critical path, right? You can't draft behind somebody with a bunch of bags from Spencer Gifts,

you know what I mean? They're gonna blow your line. Yeah, and nurses in there. Yeah. No one has jogged at the zoo ever. People do come in with their dogs. Can you get a dog and jog with a dog? Oh, a big Marmaduke type,

and it looks like he's walking you. I can't help but jog. You are living in a fool's paradise. Do you think that a dog is going to run past huge animals? No way. No way. He's gonna stop and bark at them. He's gonna at least smell them.

The takeaway I'm having from this question is people can bring dogs into zoos. Yeah. And I'm having a really hard time getting past that point. Yeah, what if you lose it and the zookeeper's like, well, you're an animal, you know what I mean? Guess what, it's zoo now. With the other dogs, yeah, you're part of the zoo.

I was wondering the other day if my dog would bark at a dinosaur or not. Why were you wondering about that? I think I was watching a trailer for Jurassic World and it got me thinking about, in Jurassic World, the first one, Bryce Dallas Howard talks about no one comes to the dinosaur zoo anymore because people are bored of seeing dinosaurs

so they're gonna make bigger, scarier dinosaurs and I said no one wants bigger, scarier dinosaurs, they want little, little dinosaurs that they can keep at home. I remember your thesis. Yeah, and then I thought if I had like a 10 foot tall dinosaur in my backyard, would my dogs get along with it or lose their shit at it?

Your imagination is so fantastic. Thank you. And fantastical. And I find myself every day thinking how jealous I am to be able to think of things like, what if there was a 10 foot dinosaur in my backyard? I never think about it., what if there was a 10 foot dinosaur in my backyard? I never think about shooting that. Not what if there was a 10 foot dinosaur in my backyard.

How would my dogs react to a 10 foot dinosaur in my backyard? That's even a step beyond, like, first of all, I would have to imagine that I had dogs was the type of person who liked being around dogs for extended periods of time and wanted to own a dog and then the dinosaur thing and then what if they met? Like that's five steps that there's, I just couldn't.

Lily would get along great, Buttercup would not care for it. Buttercup would fucking definitely not. I think part of the issue is you don't see running at places, I think if you run at places where people are supposed to stop and look at stuff, I think it kind of screams privilege. It kind of says, it would be like if you're at the museum and you're running at the museum and you're like,

there's a painting, there's another painting, there's another painting. It's like, yeah, you're just blowing past them. You're not stopping to enjoy the paintings. If you run past a dolphin and the dolphin's like, look at me, I can think and I have a hole that shoots air. And he was like, don't care. The dolphin might be like, well, a lot of people,

other people used to care, you know what I mean? When they made the flipper show and stuff. People used to love dolphins. You're worried about hurting the animals' feelings. Well, it's not just that. It's like, if you stop to, if you stop to look at a dolphin, right? You're like, shit.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Every time, yeah. When this thing's cold, it's like zipping through the water. It feels so free. Okay, but then. And then some guy is like, on your left, on your left! And you're like, I guess you feel like,

I guess I'm kind of an idiot for looking at these stupid dolphins so long. I guess they are kind of boring. That guy just didn't even look at them. I guess I'm the idiot, because that guy just ran past and didn't even look at them. I'm wasting my time. Maybe there's better animals than this guy knows about.

Yeah, what is he jogging towards? And those animals, they only let a few people see him every day. He's gonna- You're right. I don't wanna miss my window. They get all used up. But here's the problem, Justin, as a man who does move quickly through museums and such.

Life. Yeah, life. I find myself, when I stop to appreciate, say a painting or an animal or whatever, the speed at which my brain goes, how long do I need to stand here and appreciate it before I can move on? You know, once you stop, now it's an indefinite amount of time

where you're looking at a thing. 15 seconds. 15 seconds. 15 seconds and you're like, I get zebras. Every docent I've talked to said, if they see someone looking at a painting for 15 seconds, they think, this guy gets it. More than that, they're case of enjoying it. More than that, you're just not gonna get it.

If you're an awkward person who's thinking too much about this at a museum, you gotta practice my method. I know we've had a pretty visual episode so far, but the trick is to not let your body ever fully stop moving. So like you walk up and you see the art and then like your feet slow down, but now your head's moving like, huh, you're looking at it.

But then when your head stops to look, oh, now the feet are moving. Oh, now we're crossing over here, right? And then we're kind of looking at it and then we're looking at it from this angle. And then before you know it, I'm gone. I'm gone, I'm gone. I already looked at the art.

Justin's doing a lot of bending at 45 degree angles on the side of the way. Interesting, interesting. You do need to do that. You do need to get a better look at it and then as I'm trying to get a better look at it, oh, what's that? I'm onto the next art. It also helps, I find myself in that scenario. Looking at me, looking at the art,

would think he looked at that fucking perfectly. He looked at it the exact right amount. He looked at it from all the right angles. He said the right things. He nodded his head. When you look at it from the last angle, if you announce, oh, okay, then yeah, ah, okay. The fucking patented, like if you really,

if you get stuck and you're like, I feel like I've been looking at this too long. People are looking at me. If you need it out, I would highly recommend the quick swoop back to look at the plate. Yeah, that's a good reason. You get a little nod, a little nod, acrylic. That's what I thought.

Scoot your face up like you forgot, wait, was it acrylic or what? And then you swoop back into the plate, watercolor. Okay, and then you're like, completely gone. And then you're out of there, you've disengaged. Completely gone. And maybe remove your glasses and touch your eyeballs in a way it's not clear if you're just like, oh, and then you're like you're out of there. You're engaged Maybe remove your glasses and touch your eyeballs in a way It's not clear for just like oh rubbing his eyes or maybe there was a tear

We don't know the plates good if you need a reset too because you could squint at that for a while like you're reading it And no one's got the patience to watch you do that. Yeah, it's a good reset Hey, can I ask you guys a question hypothetical? Yeah, I'm to think about fun. Nothing that I've said has been hypothetical, by the way, or a bit, this is 100% practical information. Now I navigate the world quickly. Absolutely. If you guys got to go in a museum

and it was just gonna be you in there for like an afternoon, do you think you would have some sort of like powerful experience in there? Just given the time and freedom. Do you think you would come out of there after your afternoon of solo art appreciation, some of the great masterworks?

Do you think you're coming out of there like, fuck, like I get it, I've changed now. I really get it now. If you've been creeped out by the Mona Lisa, that's different, you know what I mean? If you've been like, if you've ever had the threat, if you've ever had the thought, I think the Mona Lisa's gonna Five Nights at Freddy's me.

That's really, you've experienced it on a deep level, I think. Five Nights at Louie's is something powerful. All the great masterworks come to life. I think you're talking about Night of the Museum, you guys. Look at, oh, okay, yes. Thank you, thank you. Jus is right, it is.

Yeah, it's basically Night of the Museum in that. We're just backing it. Yeah, let's go to the museum and- We're just backing it. Yeah, you backed it via Five Nights at Freddy's. Sorry. You got to- Five Nights- This was just a three point turn. We were just backing in.

We had to stop. We had to stop and do a pit stop at Five Nights at Freddy's to get to Night of the Museum. You drove too far. You passed Night of the Museum. You had to pull into Five Nights at Freddy's driveway. And they're like, were we having guests? Oh, no, they're going back to Night of the Museum. I'm envisioning a half-corroded cowboy Owen Wilson,

just like his metal jaw hanging open, like doing his bits, being all scary coming out of the vents. What a time. I would watch that, man. What a time. What a man. What a movie. I think we're ready for one more grown-up Gritty one before we call nightmare the night. I'm nightmare at the museum

Wow, we've been talking no kidding. Yeah, you know what the problem is. I just love I love trying you guys I just love talking to you guys, but you know what? I really love talking to you guys about most products conversations that let us income. Absolutely. Not even close, let's go. ["It's Better With You"] All right guys, I'm looking at the copy here for Squarespace. It says they want us to do like a teen-focused kind of hippie version, something that's really gonna appeal to the youth.

So, just- Okay, yeah, I got it. Oh, Griffin, you got it? Okay. Yeah, I can handle that for sure, that's easy. This podcast is sponsored by Squarespace. We should say that, just to cover ourselves, legally. Listen, if you own a business or are some sort of

independent contractor, artist, creator of some sort, and you need an online platform where you can offer your services and get paid all in one place and get paid on time with professional on-brand invoices and online payment systems and streamline your workflow with built-in appointments, scheduling and email marketing tools. If this is a thing that you need in your life, because you're creative with no idea how this side of the world works,

Squarespace can help you out. And I'm gonna get to the teen stuff here in just a little bit. Okay, yeah, I didn't wanna interrupt, oh, I did wanna interrupt, but I was noticing a lack of anything that would appeal to the youth demographic. No, but they're patient, so teens, I promise I'm gonna get you in the end. So Squarespace is amazing, we've all used it.

I mean, the three of us, I don't know if everyone listening has used it, but the three of us have used it a bunch of times. I've made a couple websites with it, couldn't be easier, they look great, they have amazing templates, great support, everything that you need, and again, like a lot of great tools for helping you run a little business, if that's what your calling is.

It was a lot of it condensed right there at the end. But yeah, Skryzen's face is loving it. Justin?

I punched my office chair like four times while flossing just then. And it hurt, it's really bad. I think I hurt it. You gotta pay the cost to be the boss. Justinstamps.com actually was looking for the same thing, I had my office chair like four times while flossing just then, and it hurt, it's really bad. I think I heard it. You gotta pay the cost to be the boss. Justinstamps.com actually was looking for the same thing, but they specifically said they wanted you to do it

because they think you're the most in touch with the youth demographic. That's so fucking crazy. You can't trick me, I'm your older brother. Nice fucking try. No, it says right here. Listen, last time I went to the post office, the post office gentleman looked at me and he said,

and he gave me a crate of packages that he'd been saving from my post office box looked at me and he said, and he gave me a crate of packages that he'd been saving from my post office box there at the post office, because I don't go in frequently enough. And he said to me, I thought you were turning over a new leaf. Wow. Because I told him that I was going to turn over a new leaf

and come in more frequently to collect the winnings from my post office that all you kind people send all your cereals and what have you to PO Box 54, Huntington West Virginia 25706. Don't send any more Kraft mac and cheese work. Good, thank you. But I can't turn over a new leaf because I'm too busy at home printing off all my postage

because I don't need to go to the post office as much anymore. Cause sams.com makes it so easy to do at home. Right, teams? I put the thing on the scale, they print the postage, and they do it for a lot cheaper than the guys at the place. It's actually in the ad copy, they say,

be proud of that, like say that, but you don't have to get this for free. Be proud of that, don't waste time worrying about fiscal responsibility, it's kind of their main thing. Travis, you gotta, you're stepping all over it, he's gonna get to the teen stuff. Oh, okay. Don't waste time worrying about being a postage expert or standing in line to drop off letters and packages.

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala. Fuck that man. Lalalalalalalalalalalala. Beep boop boop. Lalalalalalalalalala. Cool. Lalalalalalalala. I wanna munch.

Squad. Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba. I want to munch. Squad. Just I love mixing in some new electronic instrumentation in there. It's very modern rock, very. Well, I have to change with the times

or else what am I doing over here, man? So you guys like, you wanna talk about Sydney Sweeney? Do you wanna talk about Sydney Sweeney? Every time that she has, I feel like, come up in our sort of area, it has been for a product that is being sold that maybe features something she touched or looked at or. I think it would be exciting though

to be the first three straight white men with an opinion on Sydney Sweeney. That would be exciting. It would be very groundbreaking, I think. No, this is not about Sydney Sweeney selling her bath water, although, I mean, good honor if I could get away with it, 100%. Sure. No question.

No one wants my yucky stuff. Not even. Environmentally friendly, if you think about it. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Yeah. So Sydney Sweeney didn't sell her bath water, that's great. But that's not what we're here to talk about today, guys, because we're here to talk about, I don't know if Sydney Sweeney really't sell her bath water, that's great. But that's not what we're here to talk about today, guys, because we're here to talk about,

like, I don't know if Sydney Sweeney really loves taking baths or not. And I don't actually know if it makes her feel happy, deep down in her heart to sell her bath water to a bunch of people in soap. I don't know. But I do know that she loves Baskin-Robbins so fucking much, she can't even handle it sometimes.

Really? How do I know? Because Baskin-Robbins is bringing serious star power to your ice cream outings this summer with the launch of the Suite on Sydney menu, a limited time offering co-created with long time Baskin-Robbins fan and actress. She always demands those credits be listed in those order.

In that exact order. Yeah, Sydney's sweet. I'm a double threat. I think in IMDB at the very top, it does say Baskin-Robbins, the crazy enthusiast. Available starting July 1st, the Sweet on Sydney menu celebrates Sydney's signature sweet tooth and love of Baskin-Robbins with two colorful creations,

perfect for a refreshing summer snack. Now I do enjoy, I just wanna show you guys, just to give you guys a little bit of. I mean Baskin-Robbins usually comes correct. I have been chasing the high of the Baskin-Robbins little clown Sunday cup for kids where the cone is the hat and they put the frosting like on the thing.

You can't go home again, man. It's not gonna hit the same way. They do those, they call them creature creations. But it's not the same now, because I'm a grownup and I think about everything. There's so much adult context to eating it now. The joy of getting that when you're a child can't be replaced.

Can't be beaten. Are you trying to show us multimedia? No, I'm trying to get you guys to shut up so I can tell you. You have a look on your face sometimes, Jesus, but it looks like you're trying to get something to load or screen share, and I thought I clocked that on your face.

I apologize, I was mistaken. No, that's okay, it's fine. No, I was gonna show you this video, but it's like, at a certain point. Oh, so I was right. And you made me feel bad about it anyway. Okay, let's not do this. No one wants this, you know what I mean?

Yeah. You don't need to do this. I love talking to you guys. Yeah, it's still fun. No, I- I would do it if I did. That was such personal impetus. What I would say is if I- Said with such personal impetus and the confidence oneself. What I would say is, what I would say is,

officially for the record, I would do it if I didn't have to. Yeah, that's a really good bottom line for us to take on. Yeah. I would talk to- There's a lot of shit I do that I definitely would not do if not, you know, fully obligated to do it. This is-

I do, I just wanted to, I have these two different pictures. I'm trying to get the video too for you guys. I just feel like there is an exact Sydney Sweeney selling stuff to you pose that Sydney Sweeney has nailed. And just comparing these images, there's an exact look on the face that says, hey, buy this from me, Sydney Sweeney. I'm not looking at you. There's something exact look on the face that says, hey, buy this from me, Sidney Sweeney. I'm not looking at you.

There's something up and to the right that is pretty cool. Yeah, there's something up and to the right over here that that's the taller you that you could be if you buy this thing from me. I'm excited to see a picture of this person. I don't have any context for who they are. They're very low profile, but I hear their name whispered sometimes.

Yeah, wow. In kind of like a quiet space. Get ready, because they've got a menu that you're about to enjoy. Cool. Oh. Is that Sydney Sweeney? Oh yeah, it is. She really loves our rainbow sherbet. She comes here all the time.

Wait, seriously? ["Rainbow Sherbet"] Is Siddy Sweeney posing outside about- Your scoop is ready. Let's talk about how hungry she is for ice cream. And she's sneaking in at night and eating the ice cream when they ask her not to. That's so cool. Yeah.

It can be. That's so cool. Yeah. It can be. Summer's looking sweet at Baskin-Robbins. Try my new sweet on Sydney menu, available at Baskin-Robbins nationwide for a limited time. Okay. So that's our favorite. There is an underlying horror to that commercial. The way that Baskin-Robbins employee says it can be

implies that there is a deep fear behind his eyes that he is afraid to voice. Yes, that when he opens the store in the middle of the night, Sidney Sweeney's there stealing ice cream. Waiting. And she's like, what? And he's too afraid to say anything.

Hey, this is like, I don't know Sidney Sweeney personally. And I would never like impugn her character because I don't know her as a person. No. But I do think we need to allow for the possibility that if you are close to Sidney Sweeney, you suddenly gain access to a horrible truth about the universe and the nature of yourself or something. Something truly terrifying

that you can't communicate to anybody else. That is what the commercial seems to suggest. I hope one day I am famous in a particular way where a brand will come to me and say, we got a whole campaign we want to do and the whole thing with the campaign is that you're a fucking sicko freak for our shit. Yeah.

And I want to partner up with Taco Bell and have there be a commercial where like, I keep coming in to use the Taco Bell bathroom. And eventually the guy at Taco Bell is like, sir, you can't keep coming in here just to use the bathroom. Is that Griffin McRoy? Yeah, he's a- But I'm beloved actor Griffin McRoy.

And I'm kind of acting like a weird android who's horny for the Taco Bell bathroom. Hollywood blockbuster star Griffin McRoy, he says he can only shit in our Taco Bell bathroom. I want both of you guys, okay, I wanna give you the Leah paragraph, and then after that, I want both of you guys to give me the Sidney Sweeney poll quote

about this partnership. I want you guys to give me what you think to paragraph today. I imagine every poll quote's gonna be like, ah, give me that cold creamy stuff! You can change the locks as much as you want, you're not fucking keeping me out. The quote, I will tell you for consistency's sake, the quote is out of cafe.

I'm Sydney Sweeney Todd, bitch. I'll get in there and mess you up. The quote is out of cafe. It is Sydney Sweeney the entrepreneur, but not Sydney Sweeney the freak for Baskin-Robbins, okay? At the heart of the new menu is Sydney's signature scoop, which features rainbow sherbet in a chocolate dipped waffle cone

with rainbow sprinkles and topped with gummy bear minis. I will just say this. Oh man. Chocolate plus rainbow sherbet is disgusting. That's disgusting. Yeah, you've probably said disgusting, Sydney. Also, as someone who did work at the country's best yogurt for a couple summers,

please listen to me and please know that I'm speaking the truth. You can't put gummy anythings on ice cream. It turns them into a truly unpleasant tooth texture experience. Yes. Joining the scoop is a new refreshing beverage. Sydney's Signature Fizz,

which blends rainbow sherbet with starry lemon lime soda. Yeah. And it's topped with gummy bear minis. No! That's the choking hazard for you. Signature Fizz, which blends rainbow sherbet with starry lemon lime soda, and is topped with gummy bear minis. No, why are there- That's good, choking hazards. Yeah, why would you put- Thank you, Sydney, you choked me to death. I love you for ya. I'm also dead.

This summery sip will be available to a lucky few in exclusive, limited time, color changing, flexible gummy bear cup for you. Oh, I wanted it to be in exchange for something. In exchange for his in exchange for in exchange for his first born child okay, now while we did do it at TZBW, we did

I just want to get out there and say Sorbet Fizz while I was still working there as Sprite Kevin Sorbet Fizz, but at the time we didn't know that much about Kevin Sorbet he hadn't gone Sour yet so he's Kevin Sourbow. Give me my quote.

Griffin first, what's the quote from Sydney Sweeney about this partnership? I can't start, my summer hasn't officially started until I've chomped down on- Oh, now you know she didn't say chomped down. It's in jokes out of the room. My summer can't start without Baskin Robbins there, without the colt, without Sherbert from Baskin Robbins

and these gummy bears on them. Okay, I think something like, as a long time Baskin Robbins fan, I'm so excited to be able to get to partner with them and bring this fantastical summer flavor to life. Yeah, definitely not gonna go a single clause without establishing that she is a freak for this Baskin-Robbins. We have been doing this a bit too long, officially.

Baskin-Robbins has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It's where a lot of great memories were made, and I still find myself going back pretty often, said Sweeney. Rainbow Sherbet has always been a favorite, so getting to see it featured like this really feels special.

Awesome. Listen, I don't wanna hate on rainbow sherbet, but it kind of feels like every other- It's vulgar. Every other flavor has already been paired with a celebrity and they're like, we've got rainbow sherbet left, Sidney. Who's gonna do it?

If you mix it with gummy bears, maybe you can call it your thing. The only thing worse is Wild and Reckless, and my kids love that one, and I think it's disgusting. What is it? We're always looking to give our Baskin Robbins guests their favorite flavors in new and exciting ways, says Nicole Boutwell, who works there.

Sydney's love for Baskin Robbins runs deep, and we're so excited to put her signature scoop on the menu alongside a new, refreshing way to enjoy it in a fizz. This bold and fun duo is sure to be a go-to order this summer. It's just, there's lots of ways that companies work with celebrities in a fictional manner. Sometimes it's fun, like they're the new president of flavor blasting or something and then they're at the Super Bowl like, what's up, it's me, Tom Bodette, I have a new job,

probably wouldn't be him, it'd be like a, you know, Julie Louis Dreyfus. I'm in charge of flavor blasting, now I'm the president. Some sort of fictional sort of role, but then sometimes they are just like, say this person likes it, doesn't that mean something to you? Come get it, they like it. I would like to see one of these,

be it a Tim Biebs or a Ryan Reynolds, whatever his thing was, or Sidney Sweeney's scoop. If they just came out and said, and Basker Robbins said, I would get $1 for everyone sold. So please go buy them. I have expensive tastes and I really like- They should have to, if we have to say,

in a YouTube video, we're playing, you know, we got these Ryan's World toys directly from Ryan's World. If we have to legally say that to remain FCC compliant, I do think it would be dope if Ryan Riddle's had to be like, and also, I get a dollar every time you guys do this. Every time you sign up, I get a little bit of. I get a dollar. I like this do this every time you sign up. I get a little I get a dollar I like this. I like sherbert ice cream the commercial ends with Sydney Sweeney barreling the camera. I like this ice cream

I like doing ice cream. There's nothing you can do about it But I'm and I think it is cool that more people are gonna eat it I'm doing this because they said they would give me one dollar for every one of these cones. They sell So before we go, I do just wanna share this because I thought it was delightful. Unrelated, Christophe Poirier is the Chief New Concept Officer for a restaurant spinoff. Okay.

Okay, I'm not gonna show you the restaurant spinoff yet. We'll show that at the end. And this is his quote about the new spinoff. I didn't know you could spinoff restaurants. Sure you did. Okay. I've told you, told you lots of times. I don't listen. Like the McCosmic, the drinks,

the drinks only McDonald's, remember drinks only McDonald's? That felt like a poorly funded- Remember the robot Taco Bell that was only run by robots? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that. A lot of customers right now are chasing culture. They're not necessarily focusing on,

I wanna have a boneless chicken product. That's true. Nobody wants that. They just want, not even an experience, a vibe. And it's funny because a lot of brands are focusing on the experience. I think experience is a little bit basic. I have five Gen Zs at home.

I'm the happy father of a blended family. None of my kids said, hey dad, today I'm really looking forward to a great experience. What? Fuck yeah, man. This is the best press release ever. Is this still a press release? No, this is part of a story about this launch.

Can I just say, if you say to one human being or a group of human beings, my children looked at me today and said, I'm not looking forward to a great experience. That feels like- No, they didn't say that. The kids- They didn't say that.

The kids, okay, sorry, we do need to be clear here. Yes. This is not a situation where the kids told their dad, I'm not looking forward to a great experience. This is a situation where the kids did not say to their dad that they want a great experience. Those are two completely different scenarios. None of my kids,

cause this guy's the dad of a happy blended family of five genes and disease. And none of my kids said, hey dads, they aren't really looking forward to the great experience. No, they're looking for the vibe. This is what they are expecting. What does he think vibe means?

What they're looking forward to with brands. It's something that reflects their personalities and not just fits their appetite. They love individuality strong flavors and a shareable experience Wait, yeah, wait. No, you're we Travis He's got to take some baby steps back to boneless chicken wings and a shareable experience But not a great experience, but I would say the success is all about the vibe and just the magnetic attraction of the brand. Yes.

Finally someone who gets me. You get it. So here's the, here it is. Ho! Shit man, yeah man. Yeah dude, this is Saucy by KFC. Ha ha ha! This is Saucy, Saucy by KFC.

The exclamation point at the end of saucy is very distracting from some kind of accent placed between the U and the C that looks like a frowny face. To dip foam, it's an umlaut. I wanna tell you guys, I'm just gonna hit you guys with more Christophe Fourier info about saucy because it's in Orlando, it's pink instead of red. Our restaurant does not look like a shoebox.

There's a lot of windows. Yeah, dude. Fuckin', this guy's really, really got my number. It will allow us to unlock marketing synergies through geographic proximity. Okay. I'm imagining him hovering over like a shattered chunk of the earth that has raised out beneath him

as he channels these powers through. A geyser of sauce raising up the chunk. Yeah. I like disruption, Poirier says. And what is the meaning of disruption? You take conventions and you take, sorry, wait, this is Adam Driver from Megalopolis is actually- This is Sephiroth.

What is the meaning of disruption? You take conventions and you turn convention upside down. Right now in the world, many brands are focusing on chicken tenders. So the world does not need another one focusing on chicken tenders because you're in the crowd. I believe in disruption, which means what if the side is the core and the core is the side?

When people are focusing on tenders, I truly believe the core is the sauce and then tenders and fries are becoming the side and then it opens up to a new blue ocean of opportunities. Gen Z, they love to explore. They love random things. Our 11 sauces. It's very often that I see customers taking fries and mixing in one sauce in another, making their own cocktails. It's really what people want.

That is 100% uninterrupted the quote from this person, that whoever he has spoken to in this has not even given the dignity of a Poirier explained excitedly. Yeah. There is, there is, there is no- His eyes wide and wild. This, this, they have let this man absolutely go off

talking about Sazi by KSJ. No interrupt, no porier shrieked emphatically. Waving his hands dramatically in a way that I felt I was about to be struck, not out of anger, but merely out of gesticulatory excitement. As a beam of light pierced his chest through the ground into the heavens. Right now, low low points are everywhere.

But the true definition of value is what you get for what you pay. And I truly believe that value should not be at the expense of the buyer, Poirier says. Chiquito is a nickname to say cute and little in Spanish. Yes. And when you move it to chick and saucy chick, Chiquito is a nickname to say cute and little in Spanish. Yes. And when you move it to chick and saucy chick,

we like to play on words and we like to play on names. This is because saucy for me is really an attitude. Goddamn. So even a name, we could have called it a chicken taco or a chicken wrap, but the moment you call it a saucy Chiquito, there is a vibe. Don't you see? Don't you see? Don't you call it a saucy Chiquito, there is a vibe. Don't you see? Don't you see?

Don't you see it? You're blind. It's an omnichannel brand. The best way to attract bees and butterflies is not to try and catch them. Cultivate a beautiful garden with beautiful flowers and bees and butterflies will come. We definitely wanna double down or triple down

on the success that we have in Orlando. If anyone ever says we wanna double down on the success we've had in Orlando, send them to prison. So we will definitely come up with new openings very soon. He added, Mwa-a-a-a-a- ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah. As he cackled into the night,

flying off on his flying chicken wing. Oh, Kristoff 48, what a treat. Look for Saucy, we're gonna be- Dude, I actually, I'm kinda down. Some of those picks looked all right, and I do like Sauce quite a bit. I just wish that it wasn't being run by fucking Kefka. That would be ideal for me.

Well, you can't always get what you want. True. I'm gonna disrupt the chicken tenders game and turn it completely around with fish brittles. Fish brittles? Fish brittles? Yeah. What's that?

You've had chicken tenders, these are fish brittles. Okay. What form do those take? They're just kind of thin, and when you try to bite into them, it just shatters. They're kind of like sticks? More like thin sheets that can also be used to write on,

or panes of glass. Like nori. Yeah. Like, finally seaweed gets real, and it's made out of fish. Imagine peanut brittle, but made out of fish and clear. That sounds clear, dude. And clear, how you make it clear?

Dude, I did not expect. No one expected it to be clear. It's clear. No one wanted it to be clear, Travis. Your market research has misled you. Yeah, it also blocks radiation. Yeah, teens love vibes and clear food you can see through. They eat their glass burgers, they love this stuff.

Well, we started it as a way to replace plexiglass, and then somebody took a bite out of it. Jimmy was messing around, took a bite out of it, and said, this tastes like fish. And I said, that's weird, because no fish was used in the making of it, it was all chemicals. And he said, I think we could sell it.

And I said, OK. So this week, we're going to be in Anaheim in Sacramento doing some live shows. We're going to be doing Dadlands, our Adventure Zone, original IP, GM by Brennan Lee Mulligan, and a Mbim Bam in Anaheim. And then we're going to be doing Mbim Bam in Sacramento. If you're coming to either of those Mbim Bams,

and you have a question or a fear you want read aloud, go ahead and email that to MbimBam, that's M-B-M-B-A-M at MaximumFun.org and put your city in the subject line. They're gonna kick ass. They're gonna kick ass, they're gonna be kick ass shows, but if you don't live in California, we got other shows that we're doing

all over this country of ours. Atlanta, we're coming to Texas, we're coming to Salt Lake City, we're going all over. Why is it okay if they don't come to the California ones to hang their heads and come to these other ones? Yeah, come to all of them. Like you would follow the Grateful Dads, man. You know what I mean?

Like why are they picking and choosing? I am gonna be at the mall. Yeah. You know? Yeah, fair point. So dad's also gonna be doing D&D in a castle November 3rd to the 7th. Why do we keep promoting that?

That doesn't benefit me at all. That doesn't help me whatsoever. Stop saying that. It makes dad happy. You can find ticket links and everything. So does Doc Savage books, and they cost $3 at the store, you know what I mean? bit.ly slash McElroy Tours is where you can go to get all that information.

We also have a bunch of new merch as it's a new month, so check out the Why Not A Wizard pin, the fuck off king, both designed by Evan Cruz, who is what's their face on Instagram. That's what's with a Z. 10% of all merch proceeds this month will be donated to the immigrant defenders law center. So go check that out, macraimerch.com.

Thank you to Montane for the use of our theme song, My Life Is Better With You. It's a great track. You know what else is a great track? All of the songs on Montaigne's newest album, It's Hard To Be A Fish, that just came out. If you're looking for some new music to listen to and you have not checked out this album, you should do it

because it's so fun and good and cool and original and I can't stop pumping it. Thank you, Montaigne. Thank you, Montaigne. May I share a fear with you guys? Sure, sure. Yeah, please. Yeah, then we'll get back to the podcast. Okay, thank you.

Well, I think we'll stop when we do this. Oh, okay, sorry. It's part of the show, I got it. This year, I will be faster than my fear that I'll spontaneously be asked to sing the Star Spangled Banner for an audience and forget all of the lyrics. It's relatable.

My name is Justin McElroy. I'm Travis McElroy. I'm Griffin McElroy. It's been my brother, my brother, me. Kiss your dad. Square on the lips. It's better with you. It's better with you. My life, ah ah ah ah ah ah. It's better, it's better with you. This is true.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah. It's better, it's better with two. My life, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. It's better with you. Maximum Fun, a workaround network of artist-owned shows. Supported directly by you.
