The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sex expert, 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 know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? It's the start of something beautiful. A small acquaintance has blossomed. It's rippin' into a precious friendship. I could have never seen what was coming for me.

Hangs at the skate park, hangs by the beach. My life, it feels life. Life! Oh, it's better, it's better with you. My life, ah, ah, ah, it's better, it's better with you. This is true, ah, it's better, it's better with two. My life, ah, ah, it's better with you. Hey, everybody, hey.

Welcome, my brother, my brother, Meets, and invite you're from the Bajunera. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. Jesus. Hi, I don't know why that was. so fast. I took so long getting to the here and I didn't have

enough montane to say the words. What's up, Trav Nation? I'm your middleist brother Travis Vroom Vroom McElroy. How's it going?

Trav Nation. It's me your sweet baby brother 30 under 30 media luminary Griffin Bill Ford of McElroy. I noticed

that someone had put a big pile of gum on the stage I didn't pick it up because I'm not going out like that I'm not saying most of you would be capable of poisoning us I wasn't even worried about that

I'm worried about trick gum okay the gum mystery has been solved I will say that this is mostly an audio-based mouth-based medium But thank you for thinking of us. Speaking of which, though, I do want to give a special shout-out to the people who fueled tonight's show. Angry Line Coke brought their food truck and made us some delicious burgers.

Yummy. So if the show is especially meaty and delicious, that's why. That's why. Thank you, Angry Line Cook. Thank you. And that meal didn't eat anything for me, but a slow. tiny sweet treat to wash it up. Okay, so.

Here's what happened. A tiny sweet treat to wash it all down. Yeah, so about 5.45, Gryven comes down. Justin and I are finishing our delicious burgers. Groven says, are you guys ready to prep for the show? Justin says, yeah, let us finish digesting first. And then we'll head up and we'll prep. As if I, as if that's a span of time that is universally recognized, it takes like 18 hours to digest something, I think.

So Griffin leaves to go to the room where we're going to prep. 30 seconds later, Shannon comes in. Shannon helps with like our social media and communication stuff. She's here at the show tonight. Hi, Shannon. She comes in and she goes, hey, I'm going to go to the candy store around the corner. Does anyone want to go? And Justin's like, yeah.

And leaves the building. Okay. So the Hoops troops are going to be with me on this one. I just know it. Here was my rationale. Candyland was the name of a store. They had little gummy bears that I love, and I wanted it. So our jobs aren't hard, and I know that, right?

Right. And I knew that if I tried to do a show knowing that I hadn't gotten the candy, that I wanted, I wouldn't be giving you the show that you deserve. Right. Yeah, but Jamie, you don't want me to resent you. The problem is. For depriving me.

Candy. The three of us work very hard to pretend like our jobs are hard and important, and when you choose candy overdoing them, it really drives home like, oh no, the fiction's been eroded away. Right. So I think some of the more salient points

you may have missed. So I'll start back at the beginning. I did want the candy. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know if I. How was it? Yeah, it was very good.

I got some caramel corn. It was like, called you like Yomo snack or something like that. That was fantastic. It was called Yummo snack. Snackalien or something like that. Wow. It was great. And then they had like a bomb pop flavored taffy.

I got that for the kids and some chocolate rocks. You love those? If later on in the show, Justin's falling behind in the choreography a little bit. Just know it's because that was the section of the rehearsal that he missed for the candy. That's very true. I will say it's a lovely shop, though, and you should be proud, St. Paul. I don't know why my brothers are so against supporting local businesses. I'm just trying to buy the candy I can with the time that I have on this art.

I like my local businesses on wheels, moving around. around to wherever I am, instead of me having to leave where I am and go to them, Justin. That's a really good point. So, are there candy food trucks? I'm locking that in. TM, TMTM. You can't.

I'm an avid disc golfer, and I need something cool to say or do when I hit an ace, which is basically when you get a hole in one. What are some cool things I can say or do when I get an ace? That's from Ace Venturer. I'll try again. Ace Venturer in Apple Valley. Are you here? Hey.

Yeah. Hey. What's up? Sorry, like, sit. Can we try that one more time? Are you here? Okay, cool. No, I'm sorry.

There were like nine people. I think some people were excited about Apple Valley. Okay. Hey, we can be neutral or excited about a place. Don't shit on Apple Valley. I don't know anything about it, but people live there. I'm sure. We can, we could knock this one out of the park.

As easy as we get score on ace, a hundred percent of the time. Yeah. I thought you guys would say that. That's what you all don't know about us is when we're not podcasting. Like every second we're not podcasting. Flinging that fris. We're for all thing left and right. Slinginging them, gang.

So, slinging them. I knew that that would be easy. That's something we could have done in our first 700 episodes. So I've decided to up the difficulty with the following question. I'm a wedding photographer, and as you can imagine, I end up saying the phrase, okay, now kiss, a lot. It gets repetitive. I want to mix things up.

So do you have any alternative phrases or things I can say to get couples to kiss that's from Macing in Minneapolis? Are you here? Okay, so what I am suggesting to you guys is I only want phrases that work for both. Put it in there. No, okay. So, right, that's, I warned everyone that he would do that. Can?

And he has now. Can we be serious now? Thank you. Thank you. Smooched? That's cool. Smooched. It's going to be a lot easier to do the disc golf one

than the one where you tell two people to kiss. So I do think focus. maybe first step on what can you say to two people to make them kiss that will not get you in jail? I'll tell you what it is. I didn't expect the tents to be tripping me up as much as it has, but it's very hard to celebrate something in the past and also encourage something in the future.

That is the main challenge. You can't say smooched it. Smooched it. That's how you smooch it. No. No. Show me how you smooch it. Okay.

That's my favorite. I love the original smash bros, but every time Captain Falcon hits that B special, that's how you smooch it. What about Smooch City? Smooch City is pretty good. Smooch City, yeah. I mean, smooching doesn't mean anything.

In the golf context, we all understand that's just a sound. This is just a celebratory. It doesn't have to relate to golf. Frisbee golf, excuse me, how offensive. But it just has to sound celebratory. enough that you would yell it upon a successful ace. Yeah, most jubilant sort of ex-haltations are usually not sport-specific. Like, you're rarely like basketballed the shit out of that one.

Now that I've hit an ace, I want to watch three people kiss. Now, hold on, Travis is on to a little life hack here, because you can be like, hit that ace. hit that ace is not bad because hit is both a command and also a past tense reference French that ace French I don't think the

I'm not a wedding photographer I don't think you have to specify the depth of insertion of the kiss that you're taking a picture of Okay, okay, okay, okay. I want to, this one is a little bit wordier.

Okay. What about today you've shown us all how it's done, and I can't wait to see what's next. And then if it's with the wedding, you start going like, huh? No, hold on, let him, let him cook. That was the whole recipe. Oh, shit.

I guess what I'm confused about Justin is say, I'm saying this, I hit an ace, And then I say, today, you've shown us all how it's done. And I can't wait to see what comes back. I admitted early on we were having some tense issues. No, hey, this is actually, and we rarely have this, a pronouns issue. Yeah. I made the A's and someone else showed me how it's done.

Is my dad there who taught me to play you? How about this? This golf? Okay, all right. Today, I think we've all seen pretty good how it's done. I love it. Justin was like, we're going to have a tense issue.

I'm going to lean on that as hard as I fucking possibly can. Today, I think we've all seen together how it's done. And I think this is the moment we've all been waiting for. I think, just to run it back to if this is a singular line of wedding photography,

if you imply the moment you've been waiting for is getting to see them kids, that's deep. upsetting. How about this? Okay. How about this? And it depends.

I think it works in either situation depending on the sort of emphasis that you put on it, which is, you know that's what I want to see. It's the, okay. I got to see it. No, no, no, you know that's what I got to see. Everyone's going to look around, like, what did we do? What did he like see? You know what I want to see. versus, you know what I want to see.

Okay, okay, what about this? In that line, okay, big moment. That's cool. Oh, man, Travis, you blew it wide open. This is not only a great catchphrase for when you have a moment of athletic achievement. It's a nice vibe to bring to any kind of athletic event. You make a big three-pointer to win the game.

You stop. Okay, big moment. Yeah, just internalize that. I'm just going to take a mental picture of this so I remember it on my failure days that I've always been great and I don't need every day to be great. And also, I need you two to kiss now.

Was all of that out loud? Shit. You sink a hole in one with the frisbee. Sorry, disc. And then after you sink the whole one, you look at the next player, you say, on your tempo. And then you walk away.

So you've changed the rules of the game. No, no, no, the game is fair. So this is a celebratory phrase, but it's a little more braggadocious, keeps it a little more calm. Okay, but no, I think a celebratory phrase must be delivered as soon as the disc goes in the chain hole or whatever. The disc goes in the hole, you look at the next player on your tempo.

That fast? Yeah, because you don't even look to see if it goes in, right? Yeah. Like, when you're ready, and then it goes in. When you're ready is probably... When you're ready is good. It's actually a little bit better. Is it good to make an athletic achievement and say when you're ready?

But it's like you're ready for their turn because you know yours is going to go in the hole. Yeah. This isn't legally binding, you know. What do you think about get to the hole? Travis, I don't think hole. You have a lot of bad ideas to that. You said when you're ready after hitting a hole in one. You also said you've shown me how to do it.

which you know what if you're picturing that directed up to the heavens about your walk with that's great actually works really well i can't take the credit he shunned me how to do it yeah i'm i'm disgolving with the lord hey plant one on the hole christ hey if you put a comma in there plant one on the hole christ come on This is the moment I've been waiting for! When you're ready! I do think the best option is something of a sort of a circus ringmaster of and now the big, and now the moment we've all been waiting for.

No, you can't say that. You hit the ace, or you're trying to get him kissed, and you say, this is the greatest show! And you just announce it. That actually doesn't work if you're watching someone kiss. I said it out loud, and I put it. Fanfare work, could you give either situation a Bap-da-ba-p-p-p-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-kiss.

Kiss. No, if you do that, okay, if you're wedding photographer and you've done all the other shit, and then you're like, bum-b-b-b-bub-pah, they're going to get it. I think. Can you establish amongst your cohorts a sort of disc golf persona that you call Dr. Kiss? And then when you get one in the chains,

I don't know. It's going to make our jobs way easier. It's going to give us access. It's going to give us access to a lot more kissing-based vernacular. How about another question? Yeah, sure. My dad has recently started a semi-popular fishing Instagram, and it started getting recognized in our small hometown.

How does he deal with his new fishing fame, and how do I deal with my new nepo baby status? That's from Fishing for Compliments. Are you here? Hello. I can't believe you came. I'm so honored. We're such big, big fans of your daddy's fish channel.

First of all, everything... We were just watching backstage. Yeah. We're hooked. Good. Good. Good. Correct.

We grew up in the harsh limelight of local fame, as you know. It's true. We dealt with a lot of people telling us that they used to listen to our dad a long time ago or asking us if our dad's still on the air or asking us if our dad's still alive. So we're, we know what this is like. Or asking if our dad can get them tickets to the big Billy Ray Cyrus concert. And yeah, of course he can. But he won't. But he won't.

You can't have that kind of act. It's the access. That's the issue. it's the access that's the issue because now we have an even more famous dad that makes it sound like we got a new different our own dad escalated in fame entirely thanks to us

but what I've seen there's a lot of discussion these days about like nepo babies and stuff and what I've seen is oftentimes like nepo baby why do you laugh I haven't gotten to the bunch like yet

oftentimes what nebo babies will do You can laugh whenever you want. Just for the record, I'm... It just scared me. I'm big into it. And NEPA babies will try to swing hard away while still being in the industry, but hard away from like what their parents did

to set out on their own. So what if you started carrying around a fish bowl with a live fish in it? Right. Which I think is the opposite of fishing. That's right. It is, Travis. You defy yourself. Because fishing is getting the fish

and getting the fish out of the water and you're like, this fish stays in the water. You ride on the bowl, not from it. dad. Not this one, daddy. I'm working hard to keep this fish alive. This guy is protected, dad. The fish you'll never catch.

Oh, that's got a poncho. Build a little outpost in the neighborhood pond with a harpoon gun slung over your shoulder and when someone comes by, say, don't even think about it. Start training the fish to use the harpoon gun when you're not around. Because then what are people going to say?

Oh, they're only in charge of the pond because their dad's a famous fishing influencer. No, that doesn't make any fucking sense. Can you cash in on your dad dad's name and success before he does? Can you start selling branded as lures in this picture? I'm going to throw out, it was about to my head, but call the brand a fin influencer.

Yeah. And then use that. Or you don't, don't. Or don't, I guess. That was the, lukewarm to cold reaction. I get it. I thought fan fluencer was really good. Sometimes we do A, B, testing

on you all, and we appreciate your compliance. Yeah, our metric is usually this. I've said before. If a room of people who have paid to be here because they enjoy us, does it enjoy the joke? We tend to let it go. That's about as warm of a reception as you can hope for,

honestly. Because it's like, fish have fins, right? Okay. I got it now. That's really good. I don't think you do, Justin. No, I And the word influencer. Save us, Justin. Rescue us, Justin, please. Here's another question.

My partner and I are in our early 40s. One of our hobbies is playing pinball. And it's going to the point where we now own 30 pinball machines. And we each have 60 arms. We want to invite our coworkers from our new jobs over to our place, but we're not sure how to address the pinball machine in the room. I'm sorry, do you mean the 30 pinball machines? in the room

If we ever invite people over without disclosing the pinball machines and they arrive at essentially an arcade shoved into a house that seems awkward to explain in the moment. However, if we tell people we have all these pinball machines, we are afraid we will seem like real weirdos and people will never come over

in the first place. What should we do to ease people into our home and that's from flipping out in Minnesota? Are you here. Hello. Hi. Listen.

Please don't be scared. Before we make any jokes, I want to make one thing clear. If you love pinball machines that much and they would think you were weird for having pinball machines, you don't need them as friends. But, thank you. That's a very, very good point. But no one's going to be like, if you ask, do you want to come hang? I got 30 fucking pinball machines.

no one's going to be like, no way, man. What do you live in, an arcade? That would actually rule. That's fucking rules. What I love about that is I will have to finish a round on a pinball machine and think, I got about as much out of that storyline as I was going to. I hope there's more pinball machines with in-depth plot. But what's that right next to it?

Why is the Adams family? I can't wait to find out what happens on that two-by-six-inch screen. Okay, I actually do you do that. That's true. The problem, the problem, okay, I've been doing a little bit of this with like little arcade cabinet in my basement that I've been messing around with. Thank you very much.

Again, you didn't use the plural. Stand on your business and lead by example. You have many arcade machines in your basement. I have a bunch of little rinky dink arcade machines I'm making myself. Some are taller than I am. They're great. This is what I'm saying.

You have built these arcade machines. Okay. Put the stuff in them. They're incredible. Okay. I just don't want to seem boozy, all right? I made them. Oh, that's a real issue.

If you say I have 30 pinball machines, I'll be like, fucking 1% boozy asshole. You do need to clarify, because you said this into extra details in your question, that you don't have kids. Lead with that, because that immediately made me understand how you're able to have 30 pinball machines and just they can't all be on it. same time, right? Just to clarify or else you'd lose your mind, right? Right? Okay. I think that with pinball machines, arcade machines, it's a similar problem you're going to have is that when someone comes over, even if they're excited about the machines, there comes that moment afterwards where you have to be like, well, I'm going to go some other place. Because being in the room with you and watching you decide what to do in here, I am going to kind of lurk around the corner.

in case you get stuck with any of the machines and how they work or don't work, and then I'll spring out of nowhere and pretend like I wasn't watching you, even though I was watching you. Now, if you do make that part of your sales pitch, the allure of 30 pinball machines will be lost on me, and I will not want to attend that function, unfortunately.

Well, what I do love because what you've established here is you could have so many people over, because for me, as much fun as I'm having, playing a pinball machine is exactly a polar opposite of the lack of fun I have watching someone else play a pinball machine.

Wow, nice move! Cool, man! Oh, there it goes. And so, having another binball machine that I can use while someone else is using a pinball machine would alleviate a lot of the boredom from taking turns.

Okay, you get a friend to come over and you tell you, your other friends, everybody, your coworkers, you're having a pinball party. And then you invite a friend to come over. And this friend has a t-shirt and on the, or like a button down a polo shirt. And on it, it says, Pete's periodic pinball. And it's a pinball rental service, right? So everybody shows up for the pinball party. And if it goes really good, then you tell people like, hey, good news. I decided to buy out.

If it doesn't go good, right? If everybody's like, this sucks, you can be like, yeah, it does. But you guys can't come over anymore, but dang. I'm really going to have a word with Pete. I thought it would be way more fun and cool. Oh, guys, you're not going to believe this Pete's periodic pinball burnt down and they said I can keep all the machines. Can you believe that shit? It turned out my uncle worked at Pete's periodic pinball and he died.

All the machines are mine. There was a codicel in his will that if I could get 100,000 points on the Adams family machine. And long story short. And I got trapped in the machine for a while. I was shrunk down. I had to run around from the bit. Anyways, you don't want to get bored with all of this. See you Friday?

Everything we said is way more normal than just saying, yeah, I'm a pinball enthusiast. You has 30 pentball machines. There's way weird or shit people could have in their house. Yeah. You need a room before that room that has one in it. Like an airlock, like an airlock. Exactly. You need to, you need them to acclimate to the idea that you own our pinball's able, right?

You need them to, like, compress to that. I mean, ideally, you'd have, I think if my math is correct, like eight rooms, where it's like one pinball machine, two pinball machines, four pinball machines. Yeah. Okay. It has to find a room. Finanachi sequence or else. Fair enough. Fair enough. The ideal...

If you're not breaking out, you go back to eight for a while. I think... Yeah, I think the ideal is two machines. Because then it's not like you inherited it from your grandpa, right? You liked it a lot. You got two. And you let them acclimate to that and you judge their response because it will be exponential. Two machines in the room and then a real beefy extension cord running out of the room

through a hole in the wall with a lot of noise and lights coming from underneath the door. and you wait for them to ask about it. I'm like, oh, yeah, you want to see the other 28? I got in rotation, no big deal. This is where I keep the ones that are chill. These pinball machines can hang. Did that another question? How about a segment?

Thank you. Ba la la la la la la. What? I want a Munch Squad. I want too much squad. Welcome to Munch Squad. Welcome to Munch Squad's a podcast. Within a podcast,

profiling the latest and graced and brand eating, and this one's going to drive you wild. If you're a gamer. Hell yeah, man. I love all that shit. I got two stories, one for the gamers, one for the non-gamers. Let's start with the gamers tale.

Finally, finally, we come for our rights are considered first. Finally, someone's thinking about us. I, I, uh, let's see, can we see the goods? The goods? Yeah.

Huh? Yeah. So it's Krispy cream is featuring you're being driven wild by desire. It's okay. I know how much. I'm just once again remind and I know I comment on this every time that without fail they'll be like,

all right, we made some cool donuts and here's just some losing donuts. You can't have 12 cool donuts in the same box. You can't have 12 fun ones. Okay. You got to have one for grandma. Sure. She don't play games. She wouldn't understand a Pac-Man.

They get scared of the ghosts. They went so hard. Ready players? Yeah. That's what we call ourselves. Ready players? Krispy Cream today announced an a maizeing

collaboration with Band 9 Namco Entertainment America Inc. for Pac-Man's 45th anniversary, celebrating the global cultural icon with all new donuts inspired by the classic game. Fans will want to chop these new donuts

before it's... Chop these new donuts chop these new donuts before it's game over. Yeah. Like before you die? Trust me guys. If you gamers get up to heaven and St. Pete's like, do you eat them donuts? And you're like, no, he'll send you straight to hell.

Available beginning today for a limited time at participating U.S. shops, the Krispy Kreme X Pac-Man collection features three new donuts in a nostalgic, custom Pac-Man game dozen box. That's the sweetest Pac-Man level ever, including the Pac-Man Party Donut. It's an original glazed donut piped with yellow buttercream flavored icing, sprinkle with celebrations sprinkles and top of the Pac-Man piece. I would love a more mature gamer fair. How about a team ghost donut?

An unglaid shell donut filled with chocolate-flavored cream dipped in black icing and decorated with a black Pac-Man mace and top with a team ghost piece. Can I just say I love how they've left a little shard of cream there? They're like, you know, there's cream in this.

Yeah, don't get it twisted. It's shit and cream. Also, inevitably, inevitably in every box that Dunkin' Donuts puts together, there's always one donut that you know the donut chefs at the actual Krispy Cream brick and mortar locations, see for the first time and go

God damn. Fuck, really? That's so many different things. Hey, Derek, you're the ones going to take care of those, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll do the ones that require steady hands. Don't worry.

And then we got last of the strawberry power berry donut. It's an unglazed shell donut featuring strawberry flavored cream dipped in red icing and top of the white sprinkles and green leaf icing.

That looks incredible. And there's no way it looks like that when I buy it at this time. It will look exactly like that but it will be as hard as a rock. Pac-Man is one of the most recognized video game characters of all time and has made an impact on the world

by connecting with people across ages and borders and genders. I swear to God, that's what it says. A big swing. Through the power of play for over 45 years, just as Krispy Kreme connects people through the sweetness of enjoying and sharing donuts.

Wow. That's so cool that they can be like Pac-Man fixed everything, and so did we. Don't get... Hey, listen, Krispy Kreme is also celebrating thusly. They're aiming to give guests 45,000 free free. original glazed donuts between May 12th and 8. If you can eat them before a ghost gets you. Yeah.

they'll unlock the return of Krispy Cream's popular strawberry-glazed donut, which the brand last offered for a limited time in August 2020. That's right. So they're holding... Okay. They're holding the strawberry frosted donut hostage. Yeah.

Until you eat... We can get off our fat asses to eat 45,000 donuts. Free donuts. They want you to eat 45,000 free donuts and then they will give you back the strawberry donut that you fucking love. While they just sit and watch

as America eats 45,000 donuts, yeah. Yeah, yeah, dance for us. Eat the donuts. We'll give you more donuts. You know, Dave Skenna's got to get up on this. Oh, give us some Dave Skan. These all new Pac-Man donuts are sweetest in multiplayer mode.

So press start on a dozen and chump on a maze of flavors with family, friends, and coworkers, said Dave Schema. Did you mean to say that like Count Donut? No, it's hard to not say Dave Skent and like Count Donutna. Partnering with Ben Nynamco and Pac-Man is a new high score of sweetness. They already used that one. Today marks an incredible milestone as we celebrate Pac-Man's legacy and his 45 years of impact

across genders. This Pride Month, we must celebrate everything that Pac-Man has given us. No one has done more. Oh, my God. Hey, do you think that next, though, partner with Sega and make me a donut that looks like Sonic's foot that I can eat like I've always dreamed of.

Sonic's foot, hold on. Hold on. Your verbiage is confusing. I want to eat Sonic's foot. Okay, stop. Especially if it's cream filled. Okay, but in... Do you want to eat Sonic's red shoe

that his foot always lives inside? That's his foot. Okay. Are you saying... Wait, Griffin, Are you saying that there are images out there somewhere of his foot without a shoe on? We have worked. Don't you dare, Paul.

Don't you dare. Paul, I'll walk off. I'm done. We would need to cover ourselves in tarps like we're on the front row of a Gallagher show before we started showing uncensored sonic feet up here. Yeah, not for free. That's on our Patreon. Paul, can I very briefly show the other image?

This is more of a Munch Squad Jr. And I just want to let everybody know that Mars has launched the Twix Snaker Doodle. The flavor fans have been waiting for. I just say real quick, I forgot that Mars was the name of the company that makes candy. So I saw Mars launches and Twix in the same thing.

And I was like, did we fucking put candy on Mars? this is this is the press release that feels the most like somebody's like well i have to do it legally but i don't know what to write and here's what they came up with twix good start proudly part of mars which is true is launching its latest product innovation twix snickerdoodle inspired by the worn cinnamon sugar goodness of a classic snickerdoodle cookie this new release taps into the deep Well of nostalgia. Hey, what's that mean? What could that mean?

I mean, what could it mean? It goes in the deep world of nostalgia while embracing the current tastes and trends that fans crave. Cool. Yeah. So it transcends time and space. Guys, here's what I'm trying to get across to you.

Twix Snickerdoodle takes everything that fans love about Twix. Yeah. Crunchy cookie Goody caramel Yeah, yeah, yeah Smooth milk chocolate There's two of them

And then it levels it up With a cinnamon sugar swirl of snickerdoodle-flavored caramel The result is a bold new bar That brings cozy cookie energy To the candy aisle Oh shit Travis

Travis is being penetrated From nostalgia from the past And energy from what may be Where did I go? Here at the nexus of past and futures, Twix. I've seen it all! Twix Snickerdoodle is the third cookie-inspired flavor to join the Twix lineup. Right behind the hit debut of Twix Cookie Doe and Twix cookies and clam.

And what? And what? Cram. I thought you said clam. Yeah. Cookies and clam. Now this... I know it's a little bit unorthodox, but I've got to be.

pitch for a flavor combination that you guys are going to go nuts for. Now, they come to Martin Twirliger and they say Martin marketing president of Mars Wrigley, North America, we need a quote about Twix Snickerdoodle and he said, I have nothing.

And they say, please, please Martin, you must have something. He said, well, I do have one quote that I swear I'd never use because it can be used for any Twix product and it would surely show that I had given up on the Twix brand Please, Martin, we're desperate.

We're going to print. Okay, if you insist. He gets out a small wooden chest from under his bed. Two keys from underneath his... He calls his ex-wife to bring in the key that she has around her back. He gave her 30 years ago. He opens it up. Because Twix is the iconic brand of two.

We're always looking for ways to double down on flavor. Yeah, man. Twix Snickr-Doodle gives fans a new twist on the layers they already love. It's the perfect balance of familiar and trendy flavors, and we know it's going to be a fan favorite. And then he turned to dust. Yeah. Anyway, that's the Munch Squad.

Thank you very much. Thank you. that I just talked a lot, but I'm going to talk a little bit more. I recently got a new boss at my very corporate job. During their introduction to our team, they mentioned they have been a contestant on a hit television program, naked and afraid. Twice. My question is, should I watch? I fear that seeing the bare ass of the person who determines my financial future would ruin the professional relationship immediately, especially if they do poorly in a funny or sad way. And that's from mooned by my manager in Minneapolis.

Are you here? Hi. I've never watched the show, but I'm strongly under the impression that there's a lot of blurring and censoring going on. I think you can show an ass, dude, no problem. I've seen ass on Survivor for sure. They don't show front stuff, but I've seen ass after ass. on Survivor, man. You sound like a 12-year-old

boy bragging to his friends. Yeah, I've seen ass on Survivor. Oh, your parents don't let you watch Survivor? That's a shame. I saw Mike White's ass. It was week eight or not something. It was bad, but it was an ass for sure, my dude. Put it down.

Write it down on the list. I would say that I realized that being worried that the people around us are going to do poorly in a funny or sad way is just part of being alive. You can't run from that. People are going to do poorly and funny and sad ways every day around you. And it's your job to figure out how to deal with that. You can't put it off. You can't run from it. You can't be either naked or afraid. You have to just embrace it. Yes. I would also point out that this seems to me

like a classic corporate power move because here's what I'm thinking this is your new boss in a very kind of corporate business there's no way they would bring up in an ice raker that they were on naked and afraid twice. Oh come on. If they didn't like

do, if they weren't proud of it in some way. There was a story in the newspaper about it. I guarantee you local business fella Does bad Does bad In a both funny and sad way I'm naked

And how about this They did it a second time They came back For a second episode Yeah How bad could the first episode have been That they were convinced I'm saying both times

They were like Oh you're trying to call out The Big Dog You don't mean to come out I'm not gonna lie I'm a little less afraid this time About a lot more naked Do you think

I'm going to turn inside out. Do you think when you come back for the second season of Naked and Afraid, there's a moment where they blast all the clothes off you, like at the beginning of a Metroid game, or it's like, oh, my, oh, no, I made those clothes last time. I'm naked and afraid. What's that? A guy with a knife?

Ah, I'm scared again, too. Fuck, I can't believe this. Dracula's here? Fuck. Oh, no. You guys really opened your game for this one. It would be a cool thing to just save for the appropriate moment. You just pull it out at the right time.

You're saying you don't drop it in two truths and a lie, no matter how bad you want to. God, so bad, so bad. No, no, no, no, don't let it go. And then, yes, no, I think that once you are being terminated on the off chance, it happens to some of us. That's one that you could bust out. And in closing, Philip, I've seen your bare butt.

Or you could, once again, do an una. reverse of that power move when they're like, hey, um, you really didn't deliver on that proposal I asked you to do. And you're like, yeah, would you say, Philip, I kind of showed my ass? You, so, I don't think you should extort your boss because of their, because of their, Griffin, I deliver that information without asking for anything in return. I think that's slander. Extortion you expect compensation. If you've got a, naked and afraid is nude art. And do you have a problem with nude art?

Yeah, really good question, Griffin. Your boss participated in nude art. Grow up a little bit. We're all naked underneath here. We're all pretty afraid, I'd say. It sounds like your boss is naked and you're afraid of the beautiful human body. But one of the great gifts from the big guy, I'll remind you. Dad?

Sorry, Juice. I forget sometimes you're saying God gave us our incredible nude bodies. In the Garden of Eden, Griffin. Yeah, read the Bible, man. The original naked and afraid. When they were cast out after eating the apple. I've got some literature backstage.

I want to show you. I can't wait. About nude art. You're going to love this shit. Dude, I've got some pictures of everything. Travis has so many pictures of Survivor butts to show us backstage. I'm over the moon. I had it printed out in a book.

It was beautifully bound in leather. It's lovely. You'll love it. It's real human butt skin. On that note, maybe we should go backstage and look at Travis's nude survivor collectibles. All right. So here's the deal. We're going to take a break.

You are going to go use the... This was pre-planned. We're not going to go look at Survivor nudity, I promise. Hey, don't let them fool. you they both got so revved up okay listen don't listen to Travis listen to me okay we're really gonna take a bathroom break and you are and you can buy a poster they're out in the lobby right they're thank you so smart this is one of my favorites it picks ass it's your only chance to get him go get a coin go use the bathroom go send in your questions and then we'll be back with you

just a minute okay thank you very much You know, Griffin? Yes, Travis. No one really knows how stamps work. No one. They're little pictures that make mail go places? Yeah, I don't know if they have microchips in them that are programmed to deliver the mail to places. And my question is, what doesn't have microchips in them now in 2025?

Macrochips don't have microchips in them. That's absolutely true. How do I get these little magic pictures, Trev? Well, Griffin, man, am I glad you asked? because for a long time, you'd have to go somewhere. That sucks. Yeah, man. It's going somewhere, oh, the worst.

But luckily with Stamps.com, you don't have to go anywhere. You can do it right from home. Oh, that sounds way better. And especially in this day and age where so many people are doing business from home and shipping out a bunch of stuff like, I don't know, invoices, or I don't know, maybe they're making jewelry out of stuff they find around the house. Yep. They have to ship a lot of stuff. That's me. Yeah, I know. You make a lot of spoon jewelry, and I appreciate it. I call it spoonery. Yeah. You have used up all your spoons, though, and you eat cereal with a fork. I've been meaning to talk to you about that. It's wet. Yeah. It's a big wet mess. But with Stamps.com, it's not a mess. Good. Yeah. I'm glad to hear that. Because you can take care of it wherever you are, and they even have a mobile app, and it's so easy. And they have. They have it. It's so easy. And they have up to 89% off rates on USPS

and UPS. That's like that's almost 100% basically. If you were to round up yeah I guess. So don't waste time worrying about being a postage expert or standing in line to drop off letters and packages let Stamps.com do what they do best so you can do

what you do better. Took me a second to parse that sentence. It makes sense. It's just you should have done a dry run on it. I know but I don't like doing things dry. like cereal so go to stamps.com and use code my brother to sign up for a special offer no contract cancel any time that's stance dot com code my brother all one words you remember when bill jumped his skateboard over the fire pit in the backyard during the big fourth of july

barbecue baby back rib bash i kind of remember yeah well i took a pick i took a hundred pictures of it because Bill died from that. Yeah, but doing what he loved. Doing what he loved jumping over the big fire during the baby back barbecue. And that picture is, one, evidence for court. But two, a special precious summer memory.

It is weird that there's foul play suspected when everybody watched him, like, say, I'm going to jump over that fire. And everybody was like, no, please don't do that. I'm going to do it. Bill had 100 beers. Yeah. And so I think that that is maybe the felon.

But we don't have that in photographic form, just the awesome stunt he did as his last act on Earth. You can see in the photo, I'm looking at it now, that he had an additional 20 beers in his cargo pants pockets. Yeah, that might have contributed. He didn't get much,

I said over the big fire. It was really pretty smack dab. That was the plan originally. Yeah. So anyway, or of frames is the best way to commemorate Bill and all of your favorite summertime memories. It is the best digital photo frame, according to Wirecutter, and they know what they're talking about.

And according to me, Griffin McElroy, this is the best digital photo frame. We have given these out to so many people, because it's super easy. There's unlimited storage. You add as many photos and videos as you can find. It's super simple to set it up. You just plug it in, and you share away. And if you have people in your life who are not the most tech savvy, but you want to see pictures of your kids or your cool classic car collection or Bill.

who died, you can get all of that stuff uploaded for them and manage, like, their library for them. And then they don't have to worry about a thing. They just get all these precious memories in their beautiful aura frame. So, Griffin, if I wanted to memorialize the amateur daredevil in my life, how would I do that? Well, you can start reliving your favorite memories by visitingoraFrames.com. For a limited time, listeners can get $35 off on their best-selling carver mat frame.

are you afraid? I'm never afraid. I'm doing great, thank you for asking. We're going to turn the camera outward. towards you all. There's no camera. I don't know why I said that. The camera of life. We're going to do audience questions, but before we do that, I'd like to think that we make an impact like Pac-Man. We transcend gender. We transcend gender here. And my brother, my brother, and me. Also, this is the time for our traditional and customary apology to the people who sit in the splash zone of light.

I'm so sorry, you didn't sign up to be the background players for the audience questions. But damn it, we appreciate you. Thanks for taking one for the team. I saw someone approach, yeah, you're good. You can approach them. Your second? That's okay. That's fine.

Yeah. You two rock paper sisters. Everyone's so orderly. Okay, welcome, my friend. Hello. Hi, how's it going? Good. Excellent.

Cool. Good to see you. Yeah. Thanks for coming. What is your name? My name's Matthew. What is your question? So I'm staying with my sister currently,

and she refuses to buy breakfast food while we're visiting. How do I get my sister? to buy, like, bagels so that we have something for breakfast. Is your sister here? No, she's not. Awesome. When you say refuses, like, you've been like, hey, would it be okay to buy some bagels? And she's like, no!

It's a consistent problem. It's been brought up before, and, like, we have family gatherings at her house regularly. Never buys any breakfast food. Could you bring some next time you go, bury them around the yard for next time? That was an option, Matthew. No, no, no. I'm saying for future, like, like a squirrel.

You bury them, and so when you come back, you're like, wait, there's some cinnamon raisin by the fence. That's embarrassing, though, if you wouldn't fulfill my one dirty need, so I had to bring my own bagels from home, which I buried in the yard like a dog

for some additional reason. Well, yeah, Griffin, if you put them under her mattress, they're going to get flattened. Okay, fine. Come on, think. They are doing yard work, so I think I could sneak things into the yard.

Get some bagel dead. drops going. Is your sister not a big bagel a breakfast eater? Yeah, they don't eat breakfast at all. I mean, you could

save them from themselves. It's, and I'm going to everybody brace yourself because this is the first time you've ever heard this. It's the most important meal for the death. I mean, yeah.

Yeah, I don't think you're the bad person for wanting to eat a delicious bagel. I think we all get that. Sometimes you go to people's houses and they don't have diet soda and it's like, okay it's too bad that

your sibling isn't just a Macroy because anytime we go stay at that dude's house he's like remember how you said you liked those toll house pretzel flips three years ago I found a box of them on eBay for you especially I like to put out a spread

for breakfast get everybody energized for the day you know sometimes a simple can of cinnamon rolls you know a little along with the large pantry of various cereals that you've bought on a whim. Or professionally, Travis. Yeah, sorry, professionally.

Professional critic. I think if you show up with a bag of bagels under your arm, but don't leave them in the kitchen. Leave them with your personal stuff. And then when you come down for breakfast, you have the bagels underneath your arm already. It's your personal bag. And if anybody gets any ideas, huh, isn't that interesting?

Yeah. you should be allowed to have a breakfast locker at your sister's house that only you know the passcode too and is full of your favorite special stuff does breakfast locker fit the bill? Yes, yes, excellent. Thank you so much, Matt. Thank you.

Hello. Hello. Hi, my name is Lowe. And thank you for waiting in an orderly line. You were first to the microphone. You were so deferred. But you did defer. Very tasteful.

Thank you. My faster than fear this year was joining the local femme Armored Combat League. Hell yeah. Yeah. We have two leagues here. We have a open team, which is the Twin City Wiverins, and then we have the Flowers of Battle, which is the Femm team, which I'm joining. And I want to know how to intimidate the other teams. Okay. I mean,

when you say combat, I assume. And actually, we know nothing, aside from some pretty badass clips of TikTok that I have seen of this exact sport, give me sort of a basic rundown. How aggressive can you be? Okay, so Boo Heard is actually a Ukrainian-based sport that is full armor. There's different types of fights between like duels and stuff like that. But it is, like there's a few places you can't hit like back of the neck, back of the knees, etc.

But other than that, you are in full armor hitting each other. Okay. I can think of two ways just from what you just said of how you could become an incredibly intimidating figure in this sport. I only watch one sport and it's hockey. and the only people who... Wait, are there fans of hockey in Minnesota? It's the ones who do the stuff you're not supposed to do

that the other ones kind of keep an eye out for. Maybe just the back of the leg stuff, though. Back of the neck stuff feels egregious. But if you can be like, oh, better watch out for Lowe, they do back of the leg stuff. What if, Lowe, you showed up to this armored combat event, no armor. and you're like, I ain't even worried about it.

That's cool. Hey, are you so good that no one's ever gotten you even once? No, because Travis's idea. Don't try to intimidate them. Lo, you should be worried about placating them. If you don't get hit at all, I don't know about you, but me, I'd be like, how do I convince them? I do want to be part of the league, but I don't like getting hit.

I think, Lo, if I were you, I would show up in the armor and never take the armor off and make sure you find your opponents before they put their armor on. What about, go check the back of their neck, you know, like, you got a little measuring tape, like, oh, nice. Just making sure. Yeah. Perfect. That's exactly nice.

I don't have one of those, a back of a neck, I mean. Anyway, what if you, instead of at the event, get them before they put their armor on, get them way before the event before they put their armor on. That's cool. And, like, they wake up and you're there full armor of the sword, and you say, like, a low, space their debts and you hit them in the chest right then. Well, no. All right, you're out.

I'll see you at the event. Is that how it works if you hit them in the chest? You say you're out? No, the goal is to hit them hard enough that they go down most of the time or it's point-based system. So when they're about to leave for the event, they open their front door,

you throw a big handful of table salt in their eyes, I guess. And then they can't drive there and it's like DQ. That's cool. Oh, just cut their brake lines. Yeah, there's like 100 ways to fuck up. their car and that would be not intimidating so we're just kind of having fun up here and disregarding the premise of your question and what about double armor you've got armor on and then you put bigger thicker armor over it lo this is going to be a lot and I apologize

in advance can you pretend to be killed during a fight hold on but then come back to life that would be really good I don't think you'll have you'll probably start to get some non-believers after a few years so you probably only need to pull this once every year

what do you think 72 months to do it how about every time you show up you wear shoes that are one inch taller and so by like the 12th time

shit like you know yeah low I feel like we've really helped a lot do you agree More than usual. Yeah, thank you so much, Lo. Good luck.

Appreciate you. Hello. Hi, my friend. How's it going? It's going good. I'm Kyle. Heim. Hi, Kyle. I just want to say real quick, Kyle, before you get to your question, that I appreciate our fans so much for so many reasons for letting us live this incredible, creative life that we get to live

and to work together as family, it's so special and so wonderful. But what I love the most is that every live show, you guys always kneel down in the aisles as you're saying don't perceive me and i love it no you're not true you're trying not to block sidelines for everybody else and you all are so thoughtful and amazing so thank you i just wanted to say thank you for that yeah you're good eggs or you don't like standing up for a long time and i get that too man hell yeah okay kyle hello hello so i'm auditioning for the minnesota vikings drumline hell yeah um you were I I thought that sentence was going to end with Vikings.

And then I was going to be like, just from the jump, I don't think they call it auditioning. I'm still bulking up for the season. I'm assuming kicker, kicker, we can agree, kicker, yeah. I've prepared two monologues and 90 seconds of a song. I didn't look into what they do, but I love acting like a Viking. Okay, so you're auditioning for the drumline for the Vikings. Yeah, and so part of the final audition has us playing a solo in front of a panel

judges, that part's normal. The trouble is that this solo is happening on a stage in the middle of the Mall of America, open to the public. So I know what to play for judges and other percussionists, but I don't know how to do that and also play for like a general audience at the same time. So my question is, how can I hype up the Mall of America crowd while also still impressing the regular judges? Yeah. Okay, so Kyle, I'm hoping, just to get a bass line. I'll give you a few standard sorry? Everybody here should show up. Oh, okay.

Yeah, okay. That one option is everyone here shows up and pops off. If I could get a bass line. Base drumline. Thank you. If you could just give me like a, just in your standard delivery, no extra mustery thing. Just like a okay party people, are we ready to rock?

Just to get like a... But Kyle, just do it like you normally... Just how you normally do it. Okay, party people, ready to rock. Rock. Yeah. Dude. I'm fucking, if I'm at the, if I'm hyped to the max. If I'm at the Mall of America

and I see someone wearing one of those big drum things and they say that way into a microphone, I'm grabbing my kids by the hand saying, sorry, we're not going on the SpongeBob roller coaster. I got to see what this fucking dude's bring it to the table. Yeah. I would try, I would start with a slow point

to the upper decks. You know what I mean? Like a slow like, before you even start drumming, there's going to be such a lack of drumming that people will look down like, what is going on down there? I thought there was just to be drumming today. Kyle, here's what happens. You get up there with your drum. Do you play the drums that

lay down or the drum that stands up? It's a snare drum, so it's just the one. Oh, that's the fungiest one. You get up there, you start to hit. Oh, it makes a weird noise. What? You pick up a disc golf disc. What? Your friend's up there on the second level. You hit an ace. You say, Smootstown, they kiss. You start

fucking going at it. Yeah. Kyle, I guarantee if you deliver that callback joke to this one specific live podcast recording. They will love it. The entire Mall of America

is going to lose their fucking minds. Are you good at drums? I mean, I like to think I'm okay. Okay, I just didn't know if this was like on a whim, I woke up one day and decided to audition. Let's put it this way. The Vikings didn't ask me to audition.

Sure. So then you probably don't need us up here. here going like, have you tried like, gung-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch. Do you that APT song? I think that would be fun. Yeah, have you ever tried... Does the goose, does the goose, does the goose,

what about butta-getta, butta-getta? Red leather, yellow leather, red-lother, yellow-lather. I like, you could do that part in the whiplash movie at the end when he's like playing the drum cell and he's like, b'-b-d-p-d-thus. Yeah, crazy. But then that part where he's like, and he slows it way down for like 15 fucking minutes

while J. Jonah Jameson's going like, I hate you, but this is so good. Listen, I don't know how much 10 minutes of J. Jonah Jameson's time costs, but if you could get him there to yell at you while you play, no matter how your audition goes, they're gonna be impressed. Yeah.

Because they're like, fuck, is that J.K.J. Jonah Jameson? J.K. J.J. Jonah Jameson Simmons? Damn. Can you squirt a little bit of fake blood in your palms at the end of your solo and just be like, I can hire somebody to slap me and say I'm not setting their tempo. And then you start hitting them with your drumsticks

until they die. And they're like, whoa, we also can do drum self-defense. And then I can audition for the football team after that. Hell yeah. Does that help? Does that help? It does. All right.

Thank you so much. Good luck, Kyle, on your big audition. I believe in you. Hello. How's it going? Hi. Hi, I'm Tate. They them.

Hi, Tate. How's it going? Going all right. Good, good. Oh, okay. What's your question? So I asked you guys this way before the pandemic. I have a pug that I have to take on walks several times a day.

Yeah. He has a really bad habit where whenever we're next to like a chain link fence, he backs his back legs up onto the fence like with his feet. like with his feet lines his asshole up with like chain link fence and then poops through the fence

into someone else's yard always and so my issue is I've been faced with several times do I break into this yard to pick up the turd or do I like

ghost because this has been an issue in the past. Well, I'm so glad you asked that. So, Griffin, what does Rachel do when you poop through a chain link fence? The idea that I could release stool without being completely secure, without having a a shell, a two-factor authentication

fail-safe system around me is so ridiculous that the joke you just made doesn't make any fucking sense. Tate, I'm really glad that you just made I'm really glad that you describe this as like your pug has a weird habit and not a fetish. Yeah, I don't want to freak you out, Tate, but this is like DefCon, not, like, Caesar Milan rolls up and it's like, fuck, man, what? How did you react the very first time it happened?

Kind of like, huh, that was a really weird one-off. And then, like, the next day I, I was like, hmm. I don't know. That's crazy, because if I saw a human shitting through a chain link fence, my first thought wouldn't be like, hmm, first time they'd done this, I bet. Wow, I'm catching a truly original moment here.

So, Tate, I don't know if you know this. I used to be a professional dog trainer at PetSmart. There's no way you have any experience with this exact thing. No, not this exact thing, but. I don't know if finger blasting dog genus is. No, no, no. Okay. Tate's referencing a bit.

I can't stress this enough. That was a different job. And that was not part of dog training and I was not finger blasting the dog. Of all the geruns. I was squeezing their anal glands. And I was bad at it. Neither of us enjoyed it.

The dogs only liked it because of how bad he was at it, Tate. They enjoyed laughing and my experience, but what I was going to say, Tate. You wouldn't call it finger blasting if you're bad at it, guys. Finger poking. You have to catch your pug

every time you see him look at a fence and pause for a moment and decide not to do it. Then you got to praise the fuck out of it. Good boy, not shitting through that fence. Catch him being good. Good, absolutely. Stay away from fences. Is that a possibility?

I think we can make. All electric fences. No, listen, I know a dog, what's the dog's name? Portobello. That's fucking great. I know, I've met dogs like this. Good. I've met dogs like this tape, and you can't discipline them in the traditional way.

You've got to get on their level and be like, hey, Portobello. I get it. Every time I look at a chain link fence, I also think, how funny I have a super funny nasty idea. I wish I was a little dirty dog so I could do my nasty trick. Here's what you've got to do, Tate.

Get a section of chain link fence at home. Really josh it up. Make it fancy. Make it an extreme pleasure to use. And then Portobello sees other chain link fences and things, I got better at home. That's true. I'm going to save it. Like when I'm traveling, and I see any toilet that's not my favorite toilet at home. And you bust out your chain link fence.

Yeah, and then I go home and I shit through a chain link fence for the amusement of everyone. I got a kick-out idea, Tate. If it looks like this is about to happen and there's a house with a chain link fence real quick, you run up to the front door, knock, ring the doorbell, say, hey, my dog is about to shit through your chain link fence. It is now your decision, which direction it goes through. Are we going? The clock is ticking.

It can go left to right, right to left, but whether or not it happens is not an option. Do you want an outside job or an inside job? Tate, does that help? I think that help. Thank you so much, Tate. Thank you. And thank you all so much for coming to our show.

You all have been, I imagine most of you were also here last night you've been fucking rad and amazing and we love you and appreciate you so much I want to say a huge thank you

to our dad Clint McElroy for walking us on tonight to Amanda our business manager and our audio engineer this weekend who's been handling

the recordings to tour manager Paul thank you for being here Thank you to our manager Paul. The wind beneath our wings. I want to say thank you to Tom. Thank you to Tom. You did that video that you see in intermission

and all of our video work that's thanks to Tom. Except for the work that Meggy does, yes. Tom does the rest. Tom and Nate went disc golfing today and they had the good taste not to invite us. So thank you for that guys. Hard to agree.

Thank you to Shannon for taking my older brother to a candy store. That's cool. Thank you to Samara, Jethwa, for this incredible post. There may still be some outside. There's also probably still some memorial canned food drive challenge coins out there. So go check those out. Thank you to Montaigne for these for a theme song, My Life is Better with you. Thank you to the Fitzgerald for having us.

Thank you to the Fitzgerald Theater. This is lovely. Yeah, it's been amazing. Seriously, it's been the best time here. So thank you all so much. And we have one more fear that someone has sent in that they would like to be faster than. And it looks. like everyone's turned off their devices, so I'm going to be the one reading it by default. I was thinking, what if we had the audience call out something after we were like, be faster? No, that scares me. I don't like that. So don't do that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, no, don't do that. Don't. Bad idea. Wink. No, don't do it. Here we go. This year, I want to live faster than my fear of touching the honey bottle, sometimes life's sticky.

My name is Justin McElroy. I'm Travis McElroy. I'm Griffin McElroy. My brother, my brother, me kiss your dad square on the lips. It's better with you. My life. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. It's better, it's better with you.
