The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool, baby? It's the start of something beautiful. A small acquaintance has blossomed, it's rapping, and two, A precious friendship I could have never seen

And I say I can't Uncle Juice has to Fucking dittle with his gadgets And Gizmos are plenty Like Ariel under the sea I was sorry, I'd rather not be consigned to the dustman of history. I'm just trying to keep us relevant, okay?

No, it's okay. We've inspired people who will be more famous than us. We started this shit on a rock band, Mike Juice. Don't get it. I'd rather not end it on one. All right. That felt good to be in show.

I like her little gentle razz. We never do a cold open. No, we don't. Was that cold open? That was that cold open. You felt cold and... Okay, hi, welcome to my brother, my brother, main advice show for the modern era.

I'm your oldest brother, brother, Justin McRoy. What's up, Traff Nation? I'm your eldest brother, Travis, Big Dog, Wolf Wolf Wolfram for McRoy. What's up, Trave Nation? It's your sweet baby brother, Griffin, 30 under 30, media, luminary, McRef. I have a question. How do you keep the shit straight every time that you say, Traff? I got to not think about it.

I got to not think about it. Yeah. When I think about it, that's one of my many woopsies. God damn. Okay, so here's my question for you guys. Who will save us from the babies? Thank you. Who will stand against the babies?

Yeah. I have, I mean, I got one name in mine, and it's Rowan-Adkinson, or will I be able to remember the name of that character from Manvers? Foyne? Froing? Froing. Trestor Froing? Does that sound fucking right? Can I tell you guys, I'm so eager to watch this trailer, mostly because I haven't paused on my screen right now, and it's a close-up.

Oh, Rowan's face. Yeah, and he's making the face. He's making the face. It is moneymaker. And no, friends, you haven't tuned into an episode you've already listened to. Last time we talked about Man versus, did you hear the whole Man versus B arc? It's all we fucking talked about for like a month and a half. Yeah.

So forgive us for being enthused about Man versus Baby, which didn't have a trailer last time we did this. Now we've got two minutes and three seconds. And this trailer about two days ago has 4.7 million views. People are ready. That, I don't like that. I don't like to know that. that doesn't make me want to do jokes oh man well j dog they put this they put this up on the main netflix channel this is not going up in like netflix british comedy like one of their little

splinter cells this is bringing a lot of heat can we i think we probably got that many views on our c-so show justin don't worry we're right up there in the same so accumulative let's can we put the audio in do you still are you still set up to do that juice in studio 2.0 um um to pipe in the audio of the man versus baby trailer i don't know if we're allowed to do that but i think it'll help it hit for the folks at home i mean rachel i think what would be better is for us to watch it silently if we sink it and then rachel can layer on that audio later if need be i don't think we want to make it an indelible part of the recording okay we as long as we talk of fair use says we got to transform it we can't just play two minutes and three seconds of row and fucking

ripping what if it transforms us is that still transformative if it transforms us yes yes absolutely it is so let's just get that shit ready at zero zero yeah i'm right there and get those captions on volume down so we can have like a conversation while it's happening and transform can we just can i pop this you guys want me to pop this up in the oh in the riverside yeah oh now we can get a little bit of yeah can you full screen that for me i need every pixel please daddy every pixel dad i'd rather you know what yeah can't what what's the law on a fourth heat that is just a still image

of Rowan-Adkins our near fourth host. I feel like that fourth heat that we needed was Road-Ackon. You can't fucking trademark a picture, so we can definitely in all of our videos from now on. Don't worry about the Netflix logo

in the corner. That's going to be... Put a smaller video of Rowan making a different face over the Netflix logo and just keep him in all our clips for the near future. It'll be like how they put subway surfers in like TikToks if they want you to really pay attention people will think our shit is funnier if there's a picture

of Rowan Atkinson making the face The more I look at this the more I'm starting to see messages In his furrowed brow So if we can't, please start Don't do that, don't do that I know don't do that I'm so fucking psyched dude Are we gonna be able to hear it?

I don't know okay I'll hear it Let me say that okay I'll hear it for sure Hello Sorry to bother you sir We're making inquiries about a missing place. Jesus Christ. A baby.

A misplaced baby. What do you mean, Dad? What are you doing, Trevor? It's a bit of a long story. That baby just flew in the window and tackled romance. I ran earlier about a baby that was left behind. Don't put babies in the front seat of a car. Jesus Christ.

Let's talk with you last time, sir. They love that. So the name's Mr. Bin. What? Well, it's bin and then Glee. Bing Glee. Bin Glee. Bin Glee?

Bin Glee. on the police officer helping him find a home for this baby I think with a baby already there it's too late

for Plan B we are naturally looking for a highly responsible individual he's got a baby he has a baby

in his backpack he's got a baby in his backpack so he's brought a second baby in sorry this Christmas he reminds him

a lot of Mr. Bean if I think about it's so sinister he's got the baby prison the baby's sucking going to whine for him. This is good.

Oh, goodness. This is an emergency. We have a missing infant. Which baby is this? This man is a criminal. Oh. Trevor? No.

I'm afraid we have a problem. There's a second baby. The second baby is hit the trailer. Mr. President. Mr. President, a second baby has appeared in the movie. Oh, about three months. He's huge for three months Well, you should see his mother

Huh Oh boy He's Yeah, Rowan We don't joke like that anymore Yeah, the reason that that joke didn't land With those three women you met in the park run Is that that thing doesn't really fly so much anymore

That's actually kick ass though But that's the joke they ended the trailer on They ended the trailer not a lot of people Have the guest to end a trailer on video Of a joke not hitting Yeah, it's just bombing I would like to highlight like two but exactly the same kind of moments in that trailer that's good that's good one when he says

his name yeah and when he says plan B do you think that's for the man versus B heads to be like bingley's back and then time for oh okay so so so it's it's like plan B E which is i'm going to term i'm going to eliminate the threat which is this time a baby not a lot not going to win a ton of fans with Oh, dudes, what if the baby is like incorrigible, right? He can't get the baby to behave. Seems like a real shit, yeah. It seems like a real shit.

Oh, really? Like, time for plan B, he calls in the B. Like, he's like, he gets the B to babysit the baby. You know, like the baby. Awesome. My takeaway from that trailer, the baby seemed like a non-factor.

There was a clip camera would takeaways from that trailer because if you take away more than even a little bit, There's not going to be anything there. Yeah, that's fair. I just think Trevor Bingley is a monster. He's bad. He kidnaps a baby and then decides he's going to keep doing his house sitting job. You find out the circumstances you will be ashamed of your words.

The circumstances that make sense of putting a champagne cork in a baby's mouth? Yeah, so that's the other thing that I really like about this trailer. And what's got me excited about this movie all over again. I worried with his opponent this time being an infant, they were going to really pull their punches in the versus department. No, in this one trailer, we are looking at a front seat, baby seat, passenger seat, baby seat. You simply don't and cannot. That's 101 fucking shit, my dude. Two, drinks champagne, tucks the cork right in the baby's mouth.

I don't think that's actually safety rated, actually. Yeah, in a lot of ways. A backstop. I don't think you guys were picking up on the plot. Oh, okay. I was watching it, and I was, here's, what I was getting was that was him from the past. and he is watching himself as a baby. This is what I was getting from the...

Huh. So this is a little Russian doll action. Right. So he's watching himself as a baby. Right. And the thing is, every time he makes a mistake... Another baby happens? With the baby, he adult him gets dumber.

Every time. Okay, so yes, he makes a mistake with the baby and it makes him in real-life dumber. Wouldn't that form a feedback loop that would eventually... That's what leads to the same. Damn, that's what she's for the second baby. Watch it all unravel. Like, yes, you're right, Griffin.

It will be an endless feedback loop of fun. And the second baby is created by that loop? I wasn't getting... There's one moment at which he does something with the baby that causes him to do a teen pregnancy in his own life later. Where he's pregnant? It's him again. He's pregnant with himself.

getting rain it with himself but this is his second chance right to get it right because he is done he's done he can't help that baby because every mistake he's made with that baby is now revisited onto himself there's no coming back to that

I'm I'm so worried about the power curve of this franchise you guys because man versus B already it was like wow there's not many places left to go this B really did a number on this human man and then they announced man versus baby I was like okay I could see that

that definitely seems like an escalation in the opponent where I don't think you can go anywhere except man versus babies in the squeak wall where we're talking about every rowan baby that comes out is a different there's a mr. bean baby and a john English baby and the love actually salesman baby black adder baby black adder baby this is this will be the pot of man versus god god will come down to Trevor Bingley and he will look at beheld what Trevor Bingley has created Yeah, right. And he'll say, you've, you've gone too far. Who's playing God?

Is it Rowan Atkinson? Yeah, of course it's Rowan Atkinson. Okay, cool. Just make sure. Don't give that away in the trailer, Justice. That's the twist. You don't carry around a Swiss Army knife and a little screwdriver, you know? Good point.

I also, I also, of course it's Rowan. One more thing that just jumped out to me right in the first 10 seconds, the quality of the video call with the police officer is so reminiscent of when Peewey's playhouse used to do phone calls in the booth with people. It does look like that. I'm calling Dinah Shores. We're on days of Christmas.

We, my brother, my brother and me draw a hard line about using AI. Absolutely. But how else were they going to get some kind of background to put behind this police officer without burning down a couple acres of rainforest? Yeah. worth it. I still, the Vegas odds are still heavily favoring man in this contest. Even after the trailer,

I thought that we would see some change over on Giraff Kings and the other big ones. And nothing. Nothing so far. People are still saying, I didn't see it. Baby wasn't bringing a ton in this trailer that made me think he's going to win and that Trevor Bingley will die, I guess, is the fail state. It has to end on death. There also didn't seem to be in Man v. B, a through line of police involvement. This man is a criminal. We'll be going to jail. Sure. There seems to be a through line in this one of two different realities existing where

Trevor Bingley's just on a romp with a baby. Meanwhile, everyone else is like, well, we'll play that for laughs for sure. Crimes are being committed, and this is very serious. The trailer for this film got 4 million views in two days. If I'm the baby, I'm looking at that marquee, and I know where I rank. You know what I mean? This is me versus a franchise heavy hitter.

This is me versus the darling of Netflix. Ask Les Chifle. You know? Ask Goldfinger. Yes. Ask them how it pans out. Because you know what happens at the end of it? They die.

Well, he died. But you didn't see the baby died, did you? Because he is Trevor Bingley. So that would be crazy. That would be insane. You know what it would be insane? It's like the last thing that happens is he messes up so bad the baby dies. He dies.

All reality, winks out of existence, the paradox. And you see a little baby hand punch up through the ground. And you're like, oh, no. I don't think Netflix is going to let a movie go on streamable where Rowan Atkinson even harms an infant. They put a cork in the baby's mouth. What are you talking about? They were one step away from putting...

They're getting sickos in the door. They were one step away from putting those little white frilly things on his feet like they do turkeys and cartoons. That's going to be in there for sure, dude. I think he shoots out of a dryer at one point. I got my watch stuck in the baby. Oh man, at one point, you probably didn't pick up on this listener if you're consuming the audio product. At one point, Rowan Atkinson is interviewing for a house-sitting job mid-kidnapping and he has the baby just in a big backpack, not visible

at a fully hidden, fully contained within the backpack. Let's hope oxygenated at the very least. I hope so the baby rips a huge fart and then the lady looks at him like, did you fart? And his instinct was hesitation instead of, I would immediately say, yes, I

farted. Because the alternative is there's a stolen baby in the backpack I'm wearing. You can see it as like I actually shit. I shit my pants bad. I'd like to go address it. You need to leave the room now.

Yeah. This is weird for you, not me. I guarantee 100% odds, one-to-one odds. Netflix has on file already written up, fully drafted, a actually, this was all a social experiment. That's what this movie was to figure out. Yeah, like, we didn't mean any of this, actually. Please don't be mad at us. I would love to see Trevor Bingley join the stable of Netflix reality dating stars.

If it's like perfect match and you get Trevor Bingley like waddling in like Yes I've never had sex But I'd like to try it with a baddie Yes Yes I've never had sex but I'd like to try it with a batty Is what he'd say

Kaked up please You guys are doing Bean You know that right That's not as stanza Did you not watch the trailer dude It's like meditations on Bean man It's a little more sophisticated Moons of Bean

There's change But without the removal of cartoonishness That allows you to believe He's not a monster Yeah. That's what they did. I can't wait. It could be like he's raising Bean.

Man versus Bean. Fuck me running. Who wants to be a millionaire? We definitely made that joke. In views. I'm just saying if he's raising an alternate reality, Trevor Bingley, that baby's bean. The baby could be bean.

Griffin, if they don't want us to hear, if they don't want to hear us saying the same stuff, they should listen to different people. You know? That's true. Listen to a different Man versus Baby. This is episode 4,911. We've said everything at this point.

Listen, on here on Man versus B, man versus baby and me, we talk about man versus B, man versus baby, and us. Can we park the curtain a little bit and put the tiger on the table and yell at it? A little bit.

It's a little exhausting making the amount of content that we make. And I get a genuine amount of of real pleasure out of just watching the man versus baby trailer and talking about it with you guys. Yeah, yeah.

It's really nice to just kind of sit and do it. I guess I get why the YouTube React thing is such a big deal because like it feels good to just kind of chill on it. So this is actually what you're hitting on

is kind of the crux of the whole internet. Oh. Everyone is discovered. It is a lot more fun to just watch TV shows and talk about it. I'm like 100%.

We'd all like to be that kind of creator Because that's awesome The only better kind of creator you could be To fill a day Yeah Okay that's like top five creators I wish that I have been Instead of this

Instead of what I am Which is just a man who has to husk it out Five times a week Down in the comedy minds Shuckin chuckle nuts down in the fucking basement For a guy Here's the kind of creators I wish I have been

I'll get started Just as a thought starter Yeah Number one for me is um and i want to mention to the listener i'm saying this because what we do is really hard and we're not going to change the things we do right so we love these things we need you to know how hard we're working but there's other things we could be doing that would be so much more chill to do number one type of creator that i wish i had been is listen to a song that you've

never heard before but everybody else has heard and you really love the song that would be people love that shit dude everybody's happy everybody loves it they're a little surprise you've never heard the song but when Bohemini

Rebsity hits Bohemian and Bohemian and Rhapsody hits I like the headbanging and you're loving it and you're going oh this is actually great and everyone's like great I love this I want to be an old

you take it to your mom you say mom they like the old shit you like look I want to be a old your mom's happy I'll be an old orchestra conductor, sit down at his computer, and listen to, like, one-winged angel for the first time and be like, oh, this is good stuff.

And everyone's just fucking pleased. They love it. Chill job, dude. Yeah, here's the one I want to do. Yeah. If I could be a creator, it's where they take fail clips, right, or bad things happen. And it cuts back to them, and they're going, oh. And then it goes back to another clip, and then it comes back to them, and they're going,

Oh, that would be, yikes. You don't even have to get hit in the nuts and the feet. to do that, what if we did, like, what if the only thing we did was try not to laugh compilation? Oh, my God. Baby, that would be bad, bad, bad, bad, valueless. We wouldn't have a career book, like, imagine. Chill. I like, oh, man.

Is it too late to pivot to, sorry? Do you want to, wait, no, no, did trouble? What do you want to pivot to do you? Is it too late to pivot to finding stories other people have written about things that happened to them and then reading that out loud and going, whoa. I mean, I think that's all, it's all react. It's all react. React is what I wish.

Man, we would just barely misreact. I wish I'd done these games. Now, it seems hard. Travis would do it good. Like, Travis would do it in a way that was good and affirming. In a different era, Travis would have been an extremely ethical Mr. Beast. Yes, Mr. Beauty, I'd call myself. That was an S&L sketch this past weekend.

You don't have hitting? we must tread lightly but I'd be Mr. Beauty and I'd be nice about it I do like that and my games everybody get LASIC even the losers you don't have to win

to get LASIC everybody get LASIC Everybody get LASIC Hey thanks for coming Even the crew Get LASIC Get LASIC Wouldn't it be cool Wouldn't all reality TV be better

If like at the end of traders You get revealed You're like step to the left If we'd lock some Lysics Yeah way out. Alan does it. Alan's got some fucking cool goggles he puts on you.

People are starting to get, they're probably starting to get a little worried that we're going to do not, only no show. Yeah, because sometimes we don't do the show. So I would like to begin the show. Yeah,

if we may. We can't talk about how dope it would be to only do React content just from an ease of creation standpoint and then not do it. I've locked three brothers into a podcast where they're not allowed to do react content. Can't react.

The first brother who reacts to something is out of the circle and everything they can fit in the circle by the end of 48 hours, I'll pay for. If you were Mr. Beast, or Mr. Beauty, why would you have a different voice instead of just the voice you have?

What would be so intrinsic to the content? I've forgotten what my own voice sounds like now. Okay. That's a voice in his head. He's forgotten what his own internal model. That's how this connected he is from his own self. Cool. Juice, has that little dollboy been in the corner of your frame

the whole time or is it a haunting? What little doll boy? I don't see a little dull boy Okay, let's do a question please I'm a writer working on a novel And I've been going to a local coffee shop To write in order to keep myself From getting distracted at home

Thing is I'm current It's all in caps So that's the best That's my, does that feel right? Yeah, just as I'm mad at you That's just how it was written I am currently writing

A particularly emotional section of my book And I keep crying Like I'll just show up, cry Big Silent Tears for two hours And then leave How do I make it so that I are not frightened slash upset strangers particularly regulars who have seen me do this for literal weeks we're not going to make fun of your process crying in the cafe is the name you've chosen because i think that's

incredible i would love to make that's so brave yeah that's brave to be so invested in one so an art that you it make you cry or makes you feel um like writing a horror story and like you get like scared of it like that's cool like I want to start by saying I have bad news you've become extremely distracted question asker you have become extremely distracted at the coffee shop your plan of avoiding distractions

has been so completely foiled that you've been distracted at a point where you're emailing us rather than writing your book so that on this I said the experiment has ended the coffee shop is not a distraction free environment can we start with that Yeah, no, but it's nice to go to a coffee shop and... It is. I love the idea of it.

Yeah, on tour. Last time we were on tour, I went to a coffee shop because I needed to finish prepping some Taz stuff and I sat down at the table and it's like, I'm hungry, I'm order some food. I got an omelet. You know what that omelet came with? A giant leafy green salad with not much stuff going on in it. And now, guys, I'm in a salad prison because I can't go. I'm working here.

I'm working here and people are looking at me working and they're also looking at me not eating this salad. It's tricky when you go to a cafe. It's got to be a discreet joint. Yeah. With no salad. When we were kids and we went to church because, I don't know, what else you're going to do? Your parents drove you there.

Twinsday and or Sunday. I would yawn real big and it would make my eyes tear up. And I would become so worried that someone would see the tears rolling down my face from yawning too big and think, wow, Travis is having a really powerful religious experience right now. And they wouldn't know. know that, no, I just yawned. I'm not invested at all. You got to be careful, man. You have a sneezing fit at the wrong time during service, and you get a little teary-eyed. People will be like, hell yeah, man, rededicate your whole life. And it's like, no, man, this is actually going to be one of those chill Sundays or Wednesdays

where I come and I eat my Taco Bell, and I go home and play Krono Trigger. Thank you so much. I'm not ready for the whole kitten caboodle. Maybe like a little QR code. And I'm printed on it says, yeah, I'm crying about my book again. Scan for pre-order. Yeah. Shit, that's good. Use your tears for juice. And leave a tip for the artist at work.

Oh, that's getting a little... Is it a separate QR code? I know that there's a lot... Scan this third QR code to buy me a coffee. No, that's a coffee code. Cofi, I never know how to pronounce it. I love busking and buskers, but you don't see a lot... And buskin, bakery.

And buskin, Robbins, but you don't see a lot of writers out there just like on their computer, and it's like drop a penny in the... slot and support my do I get to read it? No you're just watching the process like you're watching it to them Hey isn't that what Patreon is No this digital But like it's as you're past

Passing the case you chuck a five in and then like pipe on the computer And they're like it was a dark end stormy night You go on your way I don't think you get it at the end They shouldn't give it to you at the end You just get to watch some cool writing Because if I listen to someone else's song

in the subway that they gave a dollar for they're not going to come after me you know like it's not mine I'm just like supporting the art they also don't then like write out that sheet muse like hand it to you and erase it from their brain fuck man get me out there on a on a Wednesday afternoon

just kind of sitting and thinking with a guitar case open in front of me and they'll be like what are you doing it and it's like I'm thinking of ideas I'm coming up with good ideas for stuff but I can't think of an idea until you put a fiber in there I'm like one of those robots that dances only it's from creating

Watch me think. I would not come up to you if you were crying at the coffee shop to check in because there's a pretty good chance that you don't want that. And I would rather run afoul of that than provide some human comfort. And I realize that makes me a very small person. So I think you are probably in a little bit less danger here than you assume. I don't know that you're going to get a lot of interaction. Worst case scenario, I see you there over the course of multiple days than I think that person is very thoroughly drafting a breakup letter. Oh, yeah, that's the assumption. That's the assumption, 100%. I might give them, if I saw someone racked with sobs at a coffee shop, I think I would say, as I passed, I think I would say, would you like me to put my hand on your shoulder? And they would say yes or no, and then I'd go about my day. I think that's what I would do. I think that's a beautiful and simple kind gesture, Justin.

Well, I have some evidence of this. I was at a football game on my birthday, and there was a lady in front of me, and she had a white hair, which is only notable because it made it extremely obvious when there was a giant spider on the back of her head. Like, extremely obvious, extremely giant. It's one of those spiders where you see colors on it,

and you're like, I don't like this. No, no, no, no. You see colors, and you're like, no, no, no, I don't like it. So this isn't a high. hypothetical, Justin, you weren't saying I noticed the white hair and thought, wow, no, no, there was a spider on there. I'd really be able to see it. Okay. And then Sydney passed me and she points at the spider. What, okay, guys, John Quignitas. Slap the spider out of the hair. If it's a, it could, it could be harmful, it could be poisonous. I would gently, I would use the, did you have a program? You're thinking through it now and I want you to tell me on, I'm not taking what you're saying at face value yet because you are still doing the. Without even thinking of the, I would get it off. I would get it off. They couldn't be mad at me for flicking their hair.

If there was a spider in their hair, that would be a huge. There's a hundred times out of a hundred. I say, thank you for doing that to me. I'm going to do that for a stranger. I'm, I was pressing you because you effectively removed it, Griffin. Because if I flick and I watch the spider hide and I'm like, hey, yeah, I flick, it's still there. Yeah. There is, okay, so I was pressing because I wanted to see what you two normal dudes would do

because then he thought what I did was incorrect. So I just wanted to see what you guys thought before I told you is that I tapped her on the shoulder and said, excuse me, ma'am, I don't want to alarm you, but there is a spider in your hair and I am about to grab it out. And she said, oh God! Then I grabbed it out like a quicksack.

Awesome. Fuck yeah, dude. Awesome. Quick sash. But then her husband goes, ah! I don't know why he was scared, but he was really scared. I mean, if someone came up behind my wife and went like that in her hair, I would probably yell because I think, no one did that. Someone came up to his wife and said, excuse me, ma'am. I don't want to alarm you, but there's a spider in your hair, and I'm about to grab it out. Justin, what I love about this is your approach and delivery.

Seems like this is your job that you go throughout the stadium and say, excuse me, there's a spider on your hair. If I could just, there you go. Thank you very much. Enjoy the rest of the game. And then you move on. It is my job, Travis, because I'm a human being. Yeah, I think that's what we owe each other. That at least is picking spiders out of her hair.

I think Thundering Herd Kicker Lorcan Quinn wasn't the only one split in the uprights that day, choose. I think you found the perfect exit from that situation, and you did extremely well. Lorcan had a, had a pull a fake put this week, guys. It kicked ass. I love it. I think if you're in college sports, you should have to do one fake play per half. Game. One big play per half.

Like, you have to. The stakes aren't that high. It's fun. I love a fake punt. On side kicks? Ah, please. In college sports, there should be required

one of those weird, a bunch of lateral and backward passes. Oh, I love that. That's like the thing going. People get a little crazy. And you never know when it's coming. Oh, guys,

this isn't even the better, I didn't even tell you the best part. Guess who was there? West Virginia governor, Patrick Morson. Whoa, dude. Was there at the game. And guys better than this.

He came up our aisle. Whoa. The man was 10 feet from me. And he put a spider in Ms. Old Lady's hair. No, but I was feeling very cocksure about that when I announced everyone boo this carpet bagger, boo this man!

And then we all got a little bit of a boo going for Patrick Morrissey, and I got to yell, you stink right to his face. Happy birthday! This guy just like more than anybody else on the whole planet. And I got to tell him how much he sucks right to his face. What a good birthday present. I get sports, I think.

Well, I will say I've been to sports stuff. I've never gotten to yell at a, like, Ted Cruz. Between that and the spider, though. I get the appeal. Yeah. man. For sure. This is a huge change for you, Juice.

You're really stepping into your power. Yeah, thanks, ma'am. Do you want to hear another question or we should take a break? We should take a break. It's better. It's better with you. Squarespace. Yep.

Listen. Let's give this one a little. We got Squarespace and Rocket Money in the Zone today. Let's like, I don't know. Make it special. It's felt a little bit like we've been... Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah. Kind of giving them the same lip service, same treatment.

Let's talk for a few minutes about Squirt. Let's really give them their money's worth this. An idea is a seed. No, we've done this almost certainly. I want to get fucking weird, dude. I want to get weird, dude. An idea is a thought that can turn into a dream. A dream that can turn into a plan.

A plan that turns into a series of executor. deliverables and one of those deliverables you're making it sound you're making it sound bad and I want it to sound fun and cool and weird twisted what up perverts do you like websites yeah do you like do you like websites and uh you know code HTML I don't know if they do HTML I don't know what I'm code shows what I don't think I don't think code shows is bad oh okay great good good good good I didn't know He thought Code Chodes was going to be bad until the end of that sentence. And then he decided that code Chos is cool. The neurons. Okay. So now we got a sort of like fucking welcome to the Man Cave, time for Squarespace code Jodes.

This is cool and they'll like it. And they will like it. That's good because we have offer codes and it's like a website and stuff. So it works on multiple levels. And the offer code for Squarespace is still my brother. And it's a great code, but we may be able to get them to swap it to Code Chodes. Or they may be able to swap. They're money that they give us.

They're patronizing of us to know. They might need that swap instead. We joke because we care, because we love, because we use Squarespace and have use Squarespace. It's just the fucking one you do. It's just the one you do. It's just the one you do. If it seems like we're really phoning these in, it's because it's the one you do. When you make a website, basically to us, it's the one that you do and you don't think about it.

You just do it. It works fucking great. I just got an emergency email from Squarespace. They love Code Chodes. Yeah. They hate that you use the phrase phoning it in in the middle of their ad. Well, I mean, they're not phoning it in. They turn in a great product day in, day out.

But when we come to you and we don't bring this nasty boy energy, yeah, I think we could be serving them better, Code Chodes. Thank you, Griffin. And thank you for continuing to say Code Chodes despite our police. I really appreciate that. It's just the one you did. We're making private pleas via text message that he changes ways. but there's you can make your website do whatever and run a whole business and get and get paid through it the websites look good it looks good and it's easy and it's just why would you do fucking there's a reason

It's bracing, though. It's like sticks in your head a little bit, doesn't it, Griff? A little bit. So, Rocket Money is an app, and when I use it, I'll share my personal experience, lead with that. When I use Rocket Money, I turn it on. And all of a sudden, I am confronted with five to six announcements that I have been paying $6.99 a week for games like Goop Man 3D or Fitchit Slime Relax or Hairstar or Plinkgo Blinko. And that's a sweet of...

Skippy's Toilet Boys. We're talking about... Skibbitty investments. We're talking about panda pop. Yay. And that one's $25 a day. And Rocket Money's like... And you got it just so your kids would be quiet for a second.

I want a Munch Squad. I want a Munch Squad. I want a Munch Squad.

Get funky. Welcome to Munch Squad. It is a podcast within a podcast profiling, latest and greatest of brand eating. I have a few briefs that I'd like to bring to your attention. Number one is the Taco Bell Baja Blast Pie. I heard about it from a lot of folks. and I would file this one and I just want to say, yeah

okay, I saw it, I get it. It's a joke, right? It's a color. It's the color. No, it's not a joke. They just made such a limited amount that they're really hard to get. And Slice tries so hard to get me one.

There's a guy on Facebook marketplace trying to charge 100 bucks for these freaking things. What? Yeah. Friendsgiving isn't just a holiday. It's a cultural loophole. A break in the calendar

where creativity is encouraged traditions get tall. get tossed at the most surprising dish takes a spotlight. That's why, after years of fan obsession, Taco Bell is finally dropping a dish made for this moment. Mountain Dew, Baja Blast Pie. When nothing means anything, pie can be

whatever fuck. That's what it says here. It says it, and syntactically, it's like doesn't work, but it does, it actually tracks that a company that things Friends Giving can be quantified as a cultural loophole. Really, really, really sinister language, like hugely, hugely

sinister. So, yeah, this was teased back in 2024 and I'm just not giving it a bunch of time because I hate I hate this like capitalization on these

great dreams and then not everybody gets to try the dream yeah if you're gonna do it try the dream have the courage of your conviction

to put it in multiple stores and frankly if you're not selling the Baja blast pie in West Virginia what is your

market? Where do you think your market is? Yeah. What do you need that corn syrup somewhere else? Doubt it.

we need an ear the shade of this pie the the the the the hue of the pie is truly um

a retro retro sort of refrigerator pistachio like neon stashio oh my god there's simply no way that they were able to get these pies out to all of the different Taco Bell locations

and have them end up looking like that. Speaking of talking of Taco Bell conspiracy, when Slice asked the one over in Connecticut Park, you know how there's a Taco Bell in Connecticut Park? Of course. He asked there and the lady said, no, we ran out of those so fast, but they were so good and went on to tell them how delicious they were. That sounds a little suspicious.

Hi, how did you get one? Oh, did you maybe like take advantage of your position of privilege a little bit, maybe? God, and then bragging about it? Nepeicism. Tocobel employees used to have ethics, you know? It used to mean something. It used to mean something. They used to put, I mean, they used to put a lot of love and care into it,

and now they're eating the pie before you can have it. Now it's just about the money. It's just about the money for them. I want to talk about Hardee's, because they're doing something dumber. Oh, Hardys is hosting a tenderbender lock-in featuring... What? If it's a tender-bender lock-in featuring streamer, Duke Dennis, and banana ball players for an epic night of chicken and challenges.

Oh, no! Our forefathers just exploded. That's the headline. That's something everyone can enjoy. That's good. I think there is a haiku in there somewhere. Yeah. It's Tender Bender Tuesday on November 18th, which was also our mom's birthday.

I think she would have really appreciated that. Yeah, for sure, man. Hardie's is cranking up the excitement for Tender Bender Tuesday with the first ever tender bender lock-in, an exclusive event starting at 7 p.m. on November 18th featuring American YouTuber Twitch streamer and social media

personality Duke Dennis and Alex Ziegler Kyle KJ Jackson Dalton Mouldlin and Decodelebludetron Sandy Amberg Amby Samberson

Sammy Amberson Sandy Amber Amby Sanderson A few of America's favorite banana ball players during the lock-in the stars will face off in friendly competitions

share behind the scenes moments and celebrate all things hand-bredded chicken. Amazing. You know, replace hand-bredded chicken with the love of Jesus Christ. And this is... Celebrate the Lord.

Celebrate the love of our Savior, Jesus, and his blessed redeemer. Slam infinite tenders with these very funny baseball players. And also, you're going to watch Heaven is for real. And it's going to be... You're not going to get a great night's sleep.

Hey, if you guys read a... case for Christ? It makes a lot of sense. Here, gather around. It answers a lot of questions. The Tender Bender Lock-in promises viral worthy challenges, online fan engagement, and the ultimate after-hours chicken feast. Fans can follow along in real time on Hardy Social channels and enter to win exclusive prizes, such as autograph memorabilia. I hope it's signed chicken tenders. That would be cool. For details on how to participate and tune in, you can go to YouTube.com slash at Hardee's. We're bringing

together flavor, fun, and fandom in a way that only Hardys can, said Sarah Braymeyer, Hardy's brand vice president. With our new Tender Bender Tuesdays in this one-of-a-kind lock-in event, we're inviting everyone to be part of the goodness and the juicy hand-bredded chicken

that Hardys is famous for. But like, you keep saying tender bender, Justin. And I feel that they got excited that those two words rhymed and didn't think about the implications that that's like somebody being like I haven't seen Todd in three days

and be like, yeah, man, he went on a real tender bender. He was on a tinderbender bender and he actually died. He dies. His kids are orphans now because his wife actually went on a tender bender bender a few months ago. It's all very sad. We're three graphs into this press release and I really need within the next

like one paragraph for some rules vis-a-vis the lock-in to be established. Am I allowed to go... Duke Dennis has you with his quote. Duke Dennis added, I'm looking forward to having a good time and watching the Tender Bender competition go down. This will be good vibes and good food.

Awesome. But if I get a call for my kid's school, am I allowed to leave the locket? Like, I need to know if I can leave or if I'm stuck here because I'm honestly getting a little bit panicked right now just think of that. We have no, they haven't even said how long the lock-in's

going to be, have they? It starts at seven, when's the end? So, the tender bender celebrates going all in on hand-bredded chicken tenders. Oh, no way. And they've got a TM there. Yeah, especially with this unbeatable bogo deal. It captures the spirit of indulging,

craveable food and rewarding loyal guests. Okay. So they captured both of those spirits in one promotion, guys. I think you're getting too hung up on the details. But have they captured me? Am I allowed to leave the hearties. I think the only people who are being locked in are the banana ball players.

I think we're watching them in captivity from a life dream. They're trapped with the chicken tenders. And they don't get to leave until they've eaten all the tenders, I think. They actually explain guys what Okay, this is what you're looking for. Each premium all white meat chicken strip

is hand dipped in buttermilk and then lightly breaded. No, I know that part. No, Jal said, I know what a chicken tender is. Let him finish the paragraph. No, it's fair. Let me scan ahead. The tender, crispy, juiciness is enjoyed with a choice of dipping sauce,

which pairs well with other capable menu. I'm such natural coachments. Are they locked in a hardy's? Am I being detained? Like an apple turnover. Am I being detained? Guys, I'm almost there. Exclusive to Hardee's,

my rewards, members, this Bogo deal can be redeemed on Tuesdays, participating locations via the Friday's website or the store and member QR code. What happens if a baseball came occurs during this time? I think they're prisoners I am someone's emergency contact

I can't be held prisoner by the Hardee's Corporation until I eat enough chicken tenders to find the key. If I'm watching it can I call in a wellness check? I think yeah wait hold on yeah is there a sort of utopia thing happening where people

are watching me have to yeah I agree I think they're sharing during the lock in the stars will face off in stairs, in friendly competition, share behind the scenes moments and celebrate all things hand-bredded chicken. So they're going to, I mean, it's going to be like, I mean, it promises viral worthy challenges, online fan engagement, and the ultimate after-Ir's chicken feast. So like, they're trapped in a chicken sort of tauntine and then we watch to see who makes it out alive, I think is the gag. Yeah.

And that's what makes it the ultimate chicken eating experience. Well, because we'll never have another one. Okay. So this, yeah, what they'll do is after this Hardee's, after this event is done, the lock-in is done, they're going to brick over the doors, like in cask of a Monsolado. Oh, okay. They're going to lock, dude, Dennis and all these. That's probably for the best.

And then they just have to make NBA 2K gameplay videos the rest of their lives, just trapped in eating chicken tenders. The site will be irradiated with a kind of spirit energy that will not be, you don't want to build anything on top of that. You can't raise that Hardee's to the ground because so much shit. will have happened there in the, in the Tinder box. So you can get, you can like get a deal while they're trapped. So this is the thing that I think is like, while they're imprisoned, you can scan a QR code.

And maybe they're like holding the QR code up like not Penny's boat. It's like, you scan. Please. Sacrificing. They say don't free us. Yeah. If you scan this. Yeah.

400,000 more tenders where we can leave. That's it. When you use the code, you get some of their tenders. You are sharing the, you are sharing the burden of tenders of the tender bender with them.

That's beautiful. That's beautiful. That's actually beautiful. Yeah, so you're helping to carry the load. Like for everyone you eat, yeah, that's one lesson they have to. You get a little closer freedom. You've got to stop announcing shit, gang,

without explaining how it's going to work. It drives me absolutely batty when these companies announce some wild shit and don't even think to put in some of the brass tax sort of rules and regulations. I don't even know if other people will be there or not. I don't know if any, yeah, is it just going to be the baseball players and the streamer? Is that it? Do they know each other beforehand? They're banana ball players.

Banana ball. I apologize. Banana ball players. We've trapped an entire banana baseball team with one streamer. and 100 million chicken tenders. Watch as they eat them for an unspecified amount of time, for an unspecified reason, and for an unspecified goal.

And at the end, I'll buy whatever's in the circle. Yeah. That's kind of the only part I know about his whole GER. That part is always a prominent fixture. That people put stuff in a circle in a certain amount of time and how much they get it, he'll buy it. And people are trapped in a pool.

They make them a little pissing hole. I know that's always part of it. Do they have to buy the piss if the piss is in the circle? No, the piss is under the circle because it's in a hole. Anything below the circle is your problem. Oh, hey, talk about kinds of creators. Gives people lots of money would have been, oh, that would have been really good. Where do you get it from?

Lipton gives me a million dollars, and I give that million dollars to somebody else, and everybody's like, pretty cool, you just have to be a financial conduit. Yeah, I just want to be the Like The Historically God, Conduit was just like Such the right word man

You nailed it And you keep a little You dip your snoo it in You get your beast sweat You get your beat sweat As long as you're loading TVs in the circle I know one beast man That would love us

That's true They can usually cut that out of the video I bet Hey you got 10 Xbox ones in there huh That's crazy Why do you get away nine Xbox ones? We're doing, guys, 99 LASIC blasts this today. It's going to be fucking great.

We're going to blast 90. Okay, Mr. Reese doesn't have anybody who just lives off the stuff he stole from his videos. If you go over to his house, he's like, don't go upstairs. It's all elephant toothpaste. Exploded. Don't go upstairs. I used to have one real.

Lamborghini, now I'm a hundred tiny Lamborghinies because I traded them in a stupid video. God, I wish I got paid. I'm trapped in a loop of my own making. We're giving away a cyber truck and you're allowed to drive it Sunday through Friday. Come on, stay in the circle. You got to go get me though. You got to come get me on Saturday, brother. It might eat a ride.
