Starting point is 00:00:00 The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I 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
Starting point is 00:00:34 What was coming for me Hangs at the skate park Hangs by the beach My life It feels live Life It's better It's better with you
Starting point is 00:00:50 My life Ah It's better It's better with you This is true Oh, it's better, it's better with two. My life. Ah, ah, it's better with you.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Hello everybody, and welcome to my brother, my brother, me, an advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. What's up, Trave, Nation? I'm your middle-less brother, Travis, Big Dog, Wolfwood, Frum, Frum, McElroy. And I'm your sweet baby brother, 30 under 30, media luminary, Griffin McRoy. I wasn't just doing, like, a cool librarian thing with my glasses. they were covered in boy smudges. They were covered.
Starting point is 00:01:29 They were covered in boys smudges again. They were covered in ladd grease because their hands are just always touching the glasses. And they're always greasy. And they are always greasy. Yeah, Dodd has the amazing ability to get stuff under her fingernails a millisecond after washing her hands. It's really crazy how like a wash the boy hands and then the boy will play with model magic or some shit. Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic sand.
Starting point is 00:02:01 And then they'll be right on there. They'll say, shit, wash the hands again. There's sand under it again. You didn't even touch the goddamn sand, guys. Thought about it. I'll tell you what is huge for this is food coloring. Yes. They don't tell you that's kid coloring, too.
Starting point is 00:02:13 It's on there for good. That you have died your child. Yes. Travis, you had a pressing question. I'd love to talk about dirty kid hands more, but you did have a... Of course. That damn, juice, that was the coolest shit I've ever seen. man? Hold on, let me try it. Thanks, dude.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Here. No one did. I didn't get one for me. Oh, you're on the other side. Charlie didn't bring you one. Charlie, what the heck, dude? Sorry. Bye, dude. Thanks for the podcast, juice. So, here's my question. My kids never bring me Duncan or anything. My kids bring me germs and stuff under their fingernails. Okay. So, close the door, Charlie. I'm making a podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Come on, babe. This is when he works, Chuck. This is when I do my job. Okay, try to ask your question. This is after watching a lot of, like, stories about weird things happening to people, you know, and I like hearing those stories. And here's my question for you, boys.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Yeah. In this hypothetical situation, I return from a camping trip in the Pacific Northwest. Why was that camping? It's not important. And I tell you that while I was camping, I saw Bigfoot. would I believe you hear me out he was 10 15 feet away from me right so like I didn't have my phone on me
Starting point is 00:03:34 but I saw him and I am clearly 100% sincere and not a bit not a bit I'm not joking I'm not exaggerating for the story to what percentage do you now believe in Bigfoot I have to ask you a question okay and it's going to hurt your feelings. Fair enough. And I don't want to do that on the podcast. I believe you. Can I just say Griff, if I may, Griffin, this is a safe space. I promise you're not going to hurt Travis's feelings with what you say. I'm saying that nothing you say is going to hurt Travis's feelings. This is a safe space. This is a safe space to hurt Travis's feelings. No, hold on. I don't. I mean, listen, I have, you know what? I asked the question. I'm strong enough to hear this, Griffin. I'm strong enough to
Starting point is 00:04:25 hear this whatever it is okay so if my let me pick let me tell you a story to answer your question if my friend reggie comes to me and they said you're never going to believe this but they now serve buffalo wings at taco bell and i say that's fun reggie but show me your inner thigh and he rolls up his pant leg and there's a tattoo of buffalo wings there i'm going to say well buffalo wing reggie or whatever your name was i already forgot I am less inclined to believe you because clearly you are interested in the subject matter that you are weaving this sort of tale about. Now, so, Travis, if you went to the Pacific Northwest, came back, said, I believe in Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And I know you're telling the truth, your truth. Yes, thank you. But then I remember, what, you do have tattooed on your ribs? Oh, well, I have Loch Ness Monster tattooed on my ribs. Not Bigfoot. No, I know that, but you can understand. And listen, all of this isn't going to hurt my feelings. This is why I said it as a percentage, not yes or no, because I'm not asking, someone comes to you.
Starting point is 00:05:36 I'm asking, I come to you. Negative one. One. Negative one. Negative one. Negative one, because the fact that you're doing it and so serious about it has, in my mind, assured me that it's a bit. Yeah. So it's now 100% a bit.
Starting point is 00:05:53 You understand? And I can't, I want to, it's like a hundred percent a bit so that makes me believe even less because if someone was going to find them, it would be a you, but if you come to me and say you found Bigfoot, I am, that is my last little glimpse of hope going out because it is a bit. I, first of all, we went on one hike once for a video and Travis has said that sucks shit, I'm never doing it again. So I do think that. That's why I said the hypothetical, it doesn't matter why I'm doing it.
Starting point is 00:06:21 You can't just, it doesn't, you can't let us not weigh in. in evidence-based, I want this to be an evidence-based sort of process, right? You don't like being outside, I don't think you would be first on my list of likely Bigfoot locators. Fair enough. I think. I would assume it's a build-up to a 50th birthday party for me. That would be where my, that would be my son.
Starting point is 00:06:45 A long, not as long as I like, but still a pretty long grift getting to 50. Damn, dude, if you want to go traipsing about a. Caldera or something up in Oregon for your 50th birthday, I'm absolutely there, dude. You know that I'm there for you, do. If that is me at 50, do not let me make it to 51, please. Just shove me into a big ravine or something, as I'm getting my jollies looking at nature, like some pervert. I still am going to need a percentage from Griffin. Yeah, my instinct is 0%. However, if you put an apple in a box for eternity, it will turn into anything. You guys, know I'm all about that shit.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Do I think there's a chance that in this big, beautiful planet Earth, covered in verdant nature and exciting diversity, biology, so many, is there maybe a big, big hairy man who lives in the woods and walks around? And he has super big feet. Yeah, maybe. There could be aliens out there. We don't know because it's infinity, which means that logically there's something out there. that's what Mulder said.
Starting point is 00:07:55 This is making me feel a lot better because my wife who loves me and has, and like we've committed ourselves to each other and she's chosen to spend her life with me, said 35% and I thought that was awful low. That's super high. That's super high.
Starting point is 00:08:11 That's a 35% chance you're going to make me believe in magic. Do you know what I mean? Like that's a 35% Yeah, but like I saw it. That's a reorganization of do you understand if you open the door to Bigfoot,
Starting point is 00:08:25 that's the whole inch of a lot. A gateway draw. That's a gateway. I guess it's just that I'm willing to believe. Yeah. I know, Travis. That's why you got a negative one. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I appreciate that. What I said just now about aliens may be existing because space is infinite, even that to me feels like cracking the door a little bit and be like, are you in here magic? Anything special and wondrous and inexplicable happening in here? and it feels risky to me. This led me to them posit that there is one person in everybody's life that is the highest on the ranking of person who said they saw Bigfoot, now I believe the most.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Oh, oh, oh, Pete Buttigieg. Yeah, if Judge, yeah, if Judge Trens. 100% dude, that's easy. You're one percent. Pete Buttigieg comes out. He's got 100% confidence. is rating for me, Dustin McRoy. If he comes out and he's like, y'all, I know, I know, I know.
Starting point is 00:09:28 It's so out of his, like, his political career is over at that point. I know it's going to be rough going for me. President Pete is maybe a pipe dream, but I am going to tell you with 100% starting Bigfoot's real, you've got one true believer in 19 West Virginia because I'm like, well, Pete said, there's Bigfoot. Here's your October surprise. Bigfoot's real. saw him and I'm dropping. And I have his endorsement. I'm dropping out of the race. Of course naturally. I don't want to make a joke out of this whole process. I did see Bigfoot. I'm Pete Buttigieg. I approve this message, but I'm not running for anything. I know I can't be president anymore, but honestly, that has started me less to me. I've got a lot to figure out. Yeah. I'm actually thinking less about infrastructure than I used to, which is weird for me, Pete Buttigieg. I've just really focused up Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Because, like, my considerations of infrastructure have been made more difficult by my now gentle belief in magic and magical things. Sure. So, like, I got a lot. Yeah. Must we shift the roads around the rivers? I don't know. I must consort with nature to find out the answers. My number one is Griffin McElroy.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Oh, yeah, dude. Guys, trust. If I ever came back from the woods, I was like, hey, I saw Bigfoot. Please, you have to believe that. I would not make up shit. This is my thing. I think of all the people I know in the world. It's not necessarily that Griffin's the most believable, no offense, Griffin, but rather
Starting point is 00:10:54 that if there was a human being who is going to rationalize a way, do everything he could to convince himself he did not see Bigfoot, it would be Griffin McRoy. And this is actually now I'm seeing completely 100% correct. Yeah, no, for sure, for sure. As you're sitting there going, even talking about the possibility of aliens feels like magic to you. Yeah, yeah, alien magic. I stand, I stand firm in this belief that have. Griffin's like, yeah, guys, I've thought about it.
Starting point is 00:11:22 I've looked at it from every direction. There's no way I can't convince myself I didn't see Bigfoot. Yeah, I... I will say if it's me, where are you guys at? If you come back saying, I saw Bigfoot, you're my oldest brother, and so there
Starting point is 00:11:40 is a slight percentage of, is it a prank? Is it, am I being... And you told me lots of stuff. And you're also something of a yarn spinner, Justin. You do spin nails. You talk about seeing a baseball. A disdainer. A daze. A fucking lot. A disson. A Seatful, nasty liar is what Travis is saying. No, no, no, no. I'm saying when Justin talked about a bear in his vicinity.
Starting point is 00:11:58 That's true. It's not important if the bear is real or not. We know bears are real. So he's able to add some space to it. Are you saying Justin wasn't accosted by a bear in his front yard? No, I'm saying he was. No, no, it's just a beautiful story. I think that if I come to you guys and I'm like, I saw Bigfoot, Bigfoot's real.
Starting point is 00:12:15 You should know that it is true, but it may just be true for me. I've maybe had some sort of a perspective. shift. Sure. You understand? Like the way I'm kind of seeing the big picture. I'm more of a metaphorical, I will say maybe something of an unreliable narrator.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Yeah, 15% in this context. Yeah. 15% for me. Respectful. I, yeah, I'm around 1520. That's actually about where Travis is too. I don't know what that means for y'all. I think Bigfoot could do.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Basically what that equates to is I'm with some friends. They bring up Bigfoot and I go, you know, my older brother saw Bigfoot and they kind of laugh and I go, I know, I know. You can't say my older brother. If you say my younger brother saw Bigfoot and you believe him, it's got to be true. There's a lot of dynamics, a lot of sibling dynamics.
Starting point is 00:13:05 This is what I'm saying. How many people would need, and in what span of time would need to, in casual conversation, say that they had recently seen Bigfoot before you would start to think there's something going on. Separate occurrences? Yeah, like you're in, you're like at separate parties
Starting point is 00:13:23 and you're like hearing people talk, right? And then like you hear in various conversations, completely separate people say they have had a sighting. Three. It's the rule of trees for travel. Three for me. Because now we've got a triangle, right? Now I've got quantifiable data.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Yeah, right? Where I can be like, okay, in the span of a month, three different people told me they saw Bigfoot. I would need a control group. I would need it to be first two people telling me this and then a third person walking by that they don't know, say, are you guys talking about Bigfoot?
Starting point is 00:13:58 Because I also, all of a sudden, I do have outside sources. If it's too many, though, I'm thinking FlashMomb. It's like five. I'm like, okay. FlashMob is five. Yeah. You know, this highlights like a life goal that I have.
Starting point is 00:14:14 And I actually wrote this on my, on my, I have a reminders list, my life goals. There's only four right now. You have a bucket list in your reminders app. Yeah. Number one is find better ways with storing life goals. So the, but in the, thanks. But in there, it's, I want to plot several different points on a map and then connect those points. And then have the place where those points overlap be.
Starting point is 00:14:44 something important. Significant. Yeah. I just want one time to unroll a big map. Don't you see? Draw the lines. Wait. And then maybe when I draw the first two, I'm like, okay, I knew they would intersect
Starting point is 00:14:55 somewhere. Please, for the love of God, let this third line be something. Yes. Yes. I just want that experience once in my life. Yeah. And then I point to it. It's like, this is the place that I told you about in the dream for something. You know, like.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Is it too much to call them laylines? Is it too much to triangulate the laylines? or does that make it too much of a joke for you? If it's like... Like Oak Island, Oak Island or some sort, any lay lines, that does get the idea across.
Starting point is 00:15:27 But I don't want it to be in a puzzle experience I've paid hundreds of dollars for. Yes, this would have to be, you've been brought in as like a consulting detective and you're like, wait, these, they've hit here and here and here. And if we, don't you see,
Starting point is 00:15:42 so their headquarters must be here in the middle of, exactly right can i this is the entrance and then you go there and it is a manhole you know like yeah yeah no it has to it's the teenage meet ninja turtles they've done it again um i think it would be hard to do this organically however i do think there's nothing stopping literally anyone from triangulating three points of interest on a map going to the middle of where those things are and then making something cool there for the next person to find or for you to commit the crimes yourself and and then triangulate your own house.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I guess so. This is actually, because there was a similar thing I brought up to Teresa, which is how many times would people in town have to report vampire activity? Like, you're in a town of like 5,000 people small. We've addressed this before. We have talked about vampire town.
Starting point is 00:16:27 You know what I want on my lifeless? I'm going to scratch out everything else. Make a difference. Do something. Life list is better than bucket list, everybody. Yeah. Because these are the ones I do living. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Buckets are for the cows. I would love. I would love to focus a beam of light through a staff to... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's something that, like, and it's become such a... It's joined the public consciousness in a way appearing in, you know, there's a lot of games and stuff where it happens, but it really all kind of comes from that one scene in Indiana Jones.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah, man. I don't know that there was a ton of historical evidence of ancient pharaohs making staves with a small citrine in the headpiece. I don't think that there's a lot of, I don't think that's based on much of anything. So I don't know how organically I can harness, focus a beam of pure, full moonlight through a citrine, but. I think mine's pretty ambitious because I think,
Starting point is 00:17:33 I don't know that this is a thing, but I want to, on a stone pillar that's about waist height, arrange shapes and then there's a click and the stone pillar lowers into the ground and the floor like opens up into a staircase down. That's cool. Yeah, like a spiral staircase down. Oh, God, I'd love that.
Starting point is 00:17:52 I think you all want to play Blueprints again. I think we just want to live in the Blue Prints. Richard Garriott did some of this shit in his castle that he built in Austin with his Ultima winnings when he was a pro-E-sports Ultima player where he would have a, like, if you move this drink coaster to this, this exact spot on the credenza,
Starting point is 00:18:11 it'll pop open the spiral staircase down to the wine cooler. And I'm like, that's cool. It's also kind of half of an idea. I do want to have to rebuild a skeleton that has been encrusted with jewels. Yeah, absolutely. I do want to place gemstones around the room in a certain elemental order.
Starting point is 00:18:30 And I do want to focus a beam of pure moonlight through a citrine staff. So like, it's cool that like pull out the book to open the door. That's awesome. Effectively, that's cool. But make it magic. I'd like to have to take more rubbings of things.
Starting point is 00:18:45 I would love to take a rub. You already did your chef. I know, but I haven't had to rub a thing. We should move on. It goes off King. A little over a year ago, my flatmate drunkenly stole three traffic cones. They've been living in our closet ever since. Brothers, I need to rid these cones from my closet and my conscience.
Starting point is 00:19:04 How do I return traffic cones? Important. The construction site they were stolen from. is no longer there. Awesome. That's from embarrassed accomplice thief in Edinburgh. The great news is this
Starting point is 00:19:19 is pretty easy. Traffic cones are like flowers that humans make. If you think about it, if you look around and you see a traffic cone and it's not around some sort of accident or construction site, you just think a human left that there.
Starting point is 00:19:32 So I think just dead of night, go outside. You don't even have to go that far from the door of your house and set those traffic cones outside. There's no one's going to accuse you of stealing them. They're traffic cones. Hey, but why not have a little fun with it?
Starting point is 00:19:46 Because you got three, right? That's the triangle right there. Maybe there's a neighbor's door. You're going to set them up in a triangle shape right outside their front door. Like, you know, maybe it steps right out on the street or a building. And you've set it up as if to say, watch out for this triangle, right? And then in the morning, people get to have a chance of like, but why? But why is that triangle there until eventually.
Starting point is 00:20:09 now those cones do need to be removed. But for a second, everybody gets to go, what's happening in this triangle? Why is this triangle here? And that kind of loops back into, we could triangulate a secret artifact or relic or something with these. That wouldn't be where my mind goes.
Starting point is 00:20:25 That wouldn't be. Three cones. Yeah. What do they mean? Maybe knock one of the cones over and then draw two sad faces on the other two cones like, oh, our friend.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Oh, that's cool. Tell a story. Now it's an art project. I think it would be funny to close your road Just close your road Get a cone Put it at one end Take the other two
Starting point is 00:20:48 One cone One cone's not gonna stop me My friend You only got three If I have four In a Holocaust cloak That might be something But I only have three codes to work with
Starting point is 00:20:56 So I'm doing my best If I am driving on the road And I see one cone I'm gonna think some human just left that there That is not That's one cone They're not trying to block off The whole street with one cone
Starting point is 00:21:07 That's crazy I got places to be. So you block off one intersection with three cones. So there's like one street where you're just like, ugh. You're right? Hey, question asker, you need to steal more cones. You got to steal cones to leave cones. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Yeah. That's what I always say. Three cones, I think there's a big pothole. I got to go around that. I'm still going to go around three cones. Five, now we're talking. I'm not going to fuck around with five. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Get more cones, knock one cone over and then surround it with other cones. as you have to say like, hey, we're working on getting this cone stood back up, and until then, you got to stay away from this one cone. That's cool. If you started putting out, keeping the codes in your trunk, and then when you pull out of a parking space, just putting the codes there until you get home, I think this problem would resolve itself really quickly.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Like, something would happen to the code. Oh, we didn't finish. Sorry, we didn't finish reading the question. I also want to become the most despised person in my neighborhood. It says here that they want to be absolutely, thoroughly and completely despised. Could you hire two other people and you hold up the cones to your mouth
Starting point is 00:22:12 and like their old, timey megaphones, and you kind of do a little herald thing and say like, we didn't steal these. We found these. You should just return them? Yeah, but in my version...
Starting point is 00:22:28 Don't know, Griffin. Don't know, bud. But in my version, there's like a fun medieval kind of announcement. You need to get three large baskets. You're going to tuck a cone in each basket, put a blankie over it, put a little note that says, I can't take care of these anymore, I leave them in your care, leave those like on the police station door, fire department door, or whatever. Now they've adopted the cones. They have to take care of it. That's cool. You're welcome. Sometimes these questions, I read them and I am
Starting point is 00:23:00 very confused by them, and then I have to take a moment to remember that not everybody lives so close to so many rivers as I do. Yeah. I really have my pick of rivers. If I have a problem like this, there's a river nearby that I'll probably drive by on my errands that will solve this problem for me. You know what I mean? They'll carry it eventually to the ocean. Make it Kentucky's
Starting point is 00:23:20 problem. You know what I mean? Make it Ohio's problem. I don't know where the river's go. Or make it trash islands problem, Justin. Trash islands. Is that right? Let it join the Fatberg. You know what I don't know. You're just sending it out to the ocean to kill the coral reefs. It's like you don't have a river. Do you don't have a river? Obviously, ocean doesn't work because it come back to you.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Right. That's bad. Lake, that's a crime. That's illegal because that stuff just floats there in the lake and messes up the lake for everybody. Yeah. River, take it away. River, take cone away.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Take that cone as far as you can until nobody knows. No, hold on, no, finish the five. Actually, I think some people probably know. Let me have a draft. Let me open up a river goes. Where does river go? I will just see downhill. That's the song for pogalus, right?
Starting point is 00:24:10 Okay, that's in there. So, what's around the river bend? Nobody knows. Nobody knows. We've never ever gone all the way down to see. The problem is there's more river after that. We tried following it, man, and we went around the bend, and guess what, guys, another fucking bend. And we gave up.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Now, check this out. I'm reading what I just Googled. It says, well, most rivers eventually reach the sea. And if I stop reading right there, we have plausible deniability. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, there's worse things that you could throw into trash ocean island than traffic cones because they make the out there and the fish see those and like, careful guys. Trash Island coming up.
Starting point is 00:24:49 We got to go around. We've learned that these conical orange flowers that humans make, they mean don't fuck with this right now. Yeah. That was a hard lesson. Or use some, like, funny, like, Harold, you know, Trump. Sometimes they do funny Harold skits. To say they've not done a crime. I'm visiting my out-of-state partner, and their very kind grandparents have let me sleep in a guest room at their place during my stay.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Been sleeping on an antique bed for a week now. Just took a seat and multiple boards under the headrest have fully snapped apart from the frame. The bed is old enough that this room is where my partner's ancient grandpa grew up from childhood. Brothers, how do I break the... What? Didn't need to say ancient. You've already described the man's relations You're pretty old
Starting point is 00:25:36 Ancient for a grandpa Cool 30 year old grandpa This hip sexy Bradley Cooper looking grandpa How brothers How do I break the news That I've shattered a piece of history with my ass And what do I do for sleeping for the next week
Starting point is 00:25:50 That's from cracked wood criminal in Columbus One of those is more important to you The other And I can guess which You can't come up with a lie without enough rest. You can't come up with a good way to blame it on somebody else
Starting point is 00:26:04 until you've had a good night's leap. Is there a subconscious worry here with broken bed frame that you smashed it while making... Woppy? And so you're embarrassed to say like, hey, something's wrong with the bed frame
Starting point is 00:26:23 and they'll look and see smash it and they'll just assume it's from just the incredible inertia of your pelvis. this go into, because I think the second you say, yeah, I just sat on it and the boards broke, ancient grandpa's going to think, I've sat on that thing, thousands of times. But what if ancient grandpa looks over at you and winks?
Starting point is 00:26:42 Like, and he's like, he's cool with it. And that means you're in, you've gotten permission to become married. I think, I don't know, guys. I don't know about you, but if I've been on a long road trip and I finally get to where I'm staying and I'm going to be kicking my feet for the next few days, I don't just sit on the bed, guys. And I'm wondering, question to ask her,
Starting point is 00:27:03 did you just sit on the bed? Or did you, like, do the full, throw the arms up, toss your whole body back into the bed. I've made it. Yes. Leap into that shit. You leaped it. You leaped it.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Like, Dooley at the end of the skiing, how to ski video where he's just like fomped into the bed. You flumped into it, like a giant grapefruit and herbal essences commercial, didn't you? One time I was saying, Cannonball. Staying at a friend's plate. This is, oh, early days actually when I went and visited friends at the Cincinnati
Starting point is 00:27:36 Shakespeare company and they had a company house and there was an extra bed in there. And I laid down on it and the bed frame was old and bad and broke. And so the bed was at a tilt where the boards didn't no longer stayed up. And so it tilted from like right to left. They're not up and down, mind you, right to left. And by the time I laid down in the mattress, Oh, it was late in the evening, and I was like, well, this is my life, and I slept on it that way. That's crazy. What a young man's body you have. I know, right?
Starting point is 00:28:08 My old body would remember the scars of that for the rest of my life, probably. Question asker, you do have a Hail Mary here that is in the world of wood repair, but does not require any certain skills. This is something people don't want to tell you, but wood glue is stronger than wood. So if you get a bottle of wood. Why aren't we building boats out of wood glue then? Yeah. What? Why aren't we built?
Starting point is 00:28:34 A simple question. Why aren't we building boats out of the wood glue then instead of the wood? Why are you avoiding? All right. So if you just get the pieces and kind of smush them back how they look right and then wood glue and it will be fixed. Yeah. In a, like, it will be fixed. It will be fixed.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Well, let it hear for a day. from the grandpa's new bed. The slats. I'm saying it is gonna stay fixed for exactly as long as you need it to for it not to be your fault. Right. The next time.
Starting point is 00:29:11 You are also though creating a kind of like secret buried treasure for someone else to find in the future. And that is, the treasure though is like your shame at this, at what you have done here vis-a-vis repairs.
Starting point is 00:29:27 No, no, no, no, no, you're a long, a piece of heirloom furniture, you've got to understand is a living document. Right. And you first had the hands that took the woods from the woods, and then you have the hands that crafted it, right? And then other hands will repair it, will give it new life. You're going to put the wood glue on and carefully brush some gold dust into the wood glue as you do. Actually, if you put some sawdust into a wiggily, you can hide cracks. All right, fucking, Justin, my thing's about, like, wabi, sobby, the cracks are what makes us beautiful. It's not practical.
Starting point is 00:30:05 I'm not trying to help. Yeah, you just glue it all together. Wood's easy. We were, we were having some H-FAC issues, and I went up in our attic to figure out what the heck was going on. It turned out the vent that, or the duct work that takes the dryer leavings out of the roof, had gotten disconnected. connected from the roof hole and falling down and I noticed that I don't know if it's the previous owner somewhere down the chain of possession they had formed a sort of duct tape barrier sort of a wrap around sort of plug sort of a solution that had been covered in lint and then fell off and
Starting point is 00:30:42 then the pipe was just giving me that good dryer juice right back into my house and do you guys know how jubilant I was that I discovered that and not a contractor that I had brought into a professional who had brought into my home and I've been like yeah my family keeps coughing and they go upstairs and see that there's a pipe just pumping hot fucking laundry juice into my family's noses and that had been taped up there's no way I could have been like I didn't tape that up there
Starting point is 00:31:14 once they found it and relay that information to you any amount of I didn't do it I never fall on deaf ears How do you know, question asker, that this was not poorly repaired by someone moments before you arrived? Yep. You know what I mean? You were set up. Maybe some other gibroni broke it and they did a bad job fixing it. Now you're going to get in there with some type bond too and fix it for real.
Starting point is 00:31:38 You're going to get in there and really fix it. You could just kind of put the pieces back together, set a sort of trap, and then get to ancient grandpa and say like, hey, can you show me how this bed works or whatever? He sits on it, snap around. No, Griffin, Griffin, Griffin. Will you show me how this living document works as it evolves from new to non-functional? Right. And then they sit on it. It's a journey.
Starting point is 00:32:02 They sit on it and you say, damn, grandpa, what'd you do, dude? Did you do that from smashing ass? And he would be like, no, I just, you saw me sit on the shoes. Did you fart so bad? Holy shit, peeps. Did you rip such a fart that it broke the bed would? Dude. He's so embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:32:24 No, you watched me just now. Tell you what, though, old man. I was whittling. You sent me a crisp $100 bill. I'm going to keep this between us. And now it's a profit game. Oh, man. You say, oh, no, Grandpa, what do we do?
Starting point is 00:32:39 Now he's in a fucking job. I love that. Hey, this is a, this is a duo now. We're a criminal duo. We've got to get out of here. You can drive. Let's go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, should we go to the money zone? I was about to say that. Oh, man. I'm already there. It's better. It's better with you. Squarespace?
Starting point is 00:33:09 In my house? It's more likely than you think. Hi, I'm Travis McRoy, spokesman for Squarespace. Wait, hold on. What? Is the context of this ad-rey, like, square, beware of hidden square space? For Squarespace?
Starting point is 00:33:22 No, guys. Squarespace is all around us. That's cool. Yeah. In fact, I would say I've been learning a lot about Tesserax lately and multiple dimensions. Right. And maybe Squarespace is a dimension higher than the dimension we live in because it's where the internet lives. How about, just quick update, Trave?
Starting point is 00:33:41 Negative 5. Negative 5%. Testaracts are real. That's fucking science. With that reveal, you've been used to negative 5 in my rank. That's real science, boys. It's fourth. dimensional shape, read a book. Carl Sagan talked about it. If Carl Sagan saw Bigfoot,
Starting point is 00:33:57 you guys would be like, oh, negative five Carl Sagan. Um, I don't think he's with us anymore, Joe. No, of course he's not Griffin. He's in the eighth dimension now. Seems like it's in pretty poor taste during our square space. Square space is a website that lets you build websites. It's a website that builds websites. It's terrifying to think about. Yeah, it's like a Teserat. It's a fourth dimensional website experience, whereas a website within a website within a website. What if you built a website through Squarespace that let you build even smaller websites? How cute. What if you were a young professional who needed a way to sell your goods and services and get paid through any damn way you please online?
Starting point is 00:34:39 Yeah, that would also do. I thought it would be a good time to pivot into the things this Christmas. Oh, okay. Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah, I love that.

They're going to make it look like you know what you're doing on the web, and you can customize them to your purposes. There's intuitive drag-and-drop editing.

Boys, I know that I have to take these off the rails, but I'm going to send jokes out of the room. for a second. Whoa. I know, because I'm going to tell you about aura frames,
Starting point is 00:35:51 which I believe to be the best present that one can give to grandparents, in-laws, family that you don't see that often. You can get it for yourself, too. Don't get me wrong.
Starting point is 00:36:07 I have one, and it's one of our favorite things that kids love it because we can upload pictures directly to it as soon as they get back from a thing and then those pictures show up and they're like, where was that? And I was like, that was 10 minutes ago, baby. Kids love that stuff, man.
Starting point is 00:36:20 They fucking do. But what I love is we got my mother-in-law one and it's sitting right in our living room. We see it every time we go over to the house. And I know that when we get back from an outing with the kids or something like that, we can immediately, from my phone, upload pictures to her aura and know that now those are in the rotation. We can post those pictures of the grandkids right there. So it's a gift that we got her once that just every so often is like we updated it to be a new gift. It's amazing. She adores it. Everyone we've ever given one to absolutely loves it. It's so easy to use. So easy to put new pictures on to. So easy to set up.
Starting point is 00:37:04 I highly, highly recommend it, especially as we head into the holiday season. If there's someone in your life that you're like, I want to get something full, but I can't think of something that feels, you know, that feels personal or a frames. man, it's perfect.

Starting point is 00:38:01 like to the point job I did with ORAF frames? They're like, what the fuck, man? Why did you talk about us being in your house? It's more like living you think. Why'd you do that for us? Yeah, hold on. Well, then let me bounce it out. ORA frames is, I mean, do you guys want to get into ORAs?
Starting point is 00:38:19 ORA frames, ORAFrams recharges all of my magic energy when I touch it. Your lack of skill in discussing ORAs actually just bumped you up to 105%, where I would believe you more that you saw Bigfoot than you would believe yourself. Cool. Hey, I don't know if you guys knew, but Wicked Fever is. spreading across the nation. God, no. Not again. I went and saw Wicked for good
Starting point is 00:38:50 and what I thought of it couldn't matter less to anybody on the planet except I will say this a lot of great products you know, there's a lot of great products to enjoy with the Wicked Wicked franchise. I recently saw Wicked on a TikTok Wicked themed Port-a-Potty's.
Starting point is 00:39:07 That's cool. Oh, yeah, that's excellent. I want to share some of the products with you guys because there's so many really, really good ones. Okay. And they went hard with the brand collaborations last year, but we're going to go even harder this year. First up we got.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Wait, before you show them, Justin, I want to say, my bet is going to be based on what they did for Wicked the first, wicked for bad, Wicked for now, is that they love this one's pink, this one's green. That's all we got to do. What do you want to meddle? Yeah, dude, that's... What do you want a medal for that?
Starting point is 00:39:41 fucking absolute derailment of the energy of the bits to say that there's pink and green ones. Yeah, Trav. And I'm just saying that in like there's pink and green ones. In their branding, theming, it's not like they had to do
Starting point is 00:39:51 comp... The vibes off. Griffin, can you cleanse the aura, please? Sure. Do you guys know how you love protein bars, but you wish they were pink and green? Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Fuck. Shit. Yeah. Okay, so true bar. This is a bad first example. I wouldn't get through this the vibe on this one's fucking let me get through this one this is a bad first example because it makes Travis look right and I don't want that
Starting point is 00:40:20 so wicked for good daydreaming about donuts and it's meant to be chip the pink and green was that they have it they put them in a box it's meant to be chip it's meant to be chip suggests someone heard chip thought that sounds like hip it's hip to be square is this something
Starting point is 00:40:40 it's meant to be cheap. Also, it makes it sound like they failed. It's meant to be chip, and this is actually as close as we could get. They had pink and green protein bars, and so they put them in a box. Cool. So that's not like a natural one,
Starting point is 00:40:54 but after you eat those, you've got to clean your breath. And what better way to do that than with the sonic-powered singing toothbrush by equate? Yep, that's right. When you start brushing with this, you're going to hear popular and defying gravity.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Two songs, notably not from this movie because every song from Wicked Bring the magic of the world of Wicked to your daily routine with the Wicked Sonic Powered singing toothbrush officially licensed by Universal Studios because the alternative would be fucking crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Imagine if Walmart's like, eat my dick, I'm doing an Elvaba toothbrush and you can't stop me. These are drop shipped directly to Walmart. We put a TEMU on the brush and you can't stop us. This toothbrush
Starting point is 00:41:38 plays all of K-pop Demon Hunters start to finish. Can the adults get a good point? Both of those songs are notably
Starting point is 00:41:45 longer than the two minutes one is meant to brush their teeth does it keep going? Also I'm gonna be fucking that's not proper form
Starting point is 00:41:56 it should be defying cavity. Shit, that's good that's really good. That's really good. Have you noticed how they're pink and green? And also it's a same joke
Starting point is 00:42:05 beloved author Richard Osman made on the rest of entertainment, Travis, when they were talking about Wicked collaboration, so you should feel a very good company. I do. Very good company. He and I are equally smart. He's a multi-bestselling author. Hell yeah. Then the adults
Starting point is 00:42:17 have one too with the Wicked Ordo brush. This is Oh, God. This is a toothbrush for adults that seemed about wicked. I don't know what else you need to know. Well, I could tell you that it looks like one, it's Eldridge
Starting point is 00:42:34 and Absinth at the same time. Yes, it's a very sexual adult tooth brush. Does it sing songs to me while I brush it? This, I do not think, no. If it does, it's just Elphaba's personal toothbrush. Get sent to Oz with Gain Wicked for Good Laundry add-ins. That's right. Gain, Fabrese, and Dawn.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Fans everywhere know what Oz looks like and feels like and for the first time ever, they'll experience what it smells like. I would say look and feel are not the two senses I would kind of organically attribute to watching a movie. I would say here gets more of a hand on the ball on that one than touch. I do not actually know, I don't know what Oz taste smells or feels like because I've never touched Oz.
Starting point is 00:43:26 It's just those senses that are engaged with a film, really. I think a really powerful mantra for when someone isn't being fun and magical enough. is to tell them to touch Oz. Oh, yeah. Like, if one of us isn't playing enough in the space where the others are trying to set it up and they're being kind of just like, do you touch Oz a little bit?
Starting point is 00:43:48 Yeah, you need this guy? Touch Oz. Hey, detergent flings provide a powerful clean and a vibrant freshness and that comes in this scent, fantabulous floral. Guys? There's fantabulous floral gain, Wicked for Good,
Starting point is 00:44:03 but don't worry. They also have wonderfulest woods and beautiful blossom. Just give us smells like Jonathan Bailey. That's what everybody wants. Hey, Trave. Hey, Trave, we'll get there. Ho!
Starting point is 00:44:17 Experience of vibrant freshness that gains Wicked for Good, limited edition. Your laundry stays enchanted from Wash to Wear. There's also Dawn Power Wash, Wicked for Good, Fantabulous Floral. This is a dish, you can wash your dishes. I want to talk about this. Did they think about the psychological impact
Starting point is 00:44:35 of me doing, like, drudgery chores while having to smell and think about I could be, in Oz, dancing through life. And instead, I have to be scrubbing shit. That's the problem of like, but that's like every scent, like tropical breezes. I'm not. It's a toilet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Next up, we got two irresistible limited edition scents from Secret. There's an alpha The wickedly wonderful Elphaba themed one And couldn't be lovelier For your pits They're both for your pits
Starting point is 00:45:12 Okay Can I do one side with one flavor One side with the other They would ask that you do that But do purchase both of them And alternate day by day You don't want to get too much imbalance Can you imagine being in a situation
Starting point is 00:45:25 Where you're wearing these And someone's like, mm, you smell like Alphaba I don't know how I'd feel Good Elfaba smell Good Alphabet smell You just smell for a book. Good smell forba. Thank you, Travis.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Thank you, Justin. And moving right along. I will not be thinking. I will not be thinking either of you. Who's hungry? I'm star. Ho! Ho!
Starting point is 00:45:43 Ho! Hey, that's a very severe... Okay, so these are... These are... These are pink hostess cupcakes. These are pink hostess cupcakes. Of Wicked for Good with an extraordinarily stern-looking Ariana Grande. She's looking at you like, I love these cupcakes, and I love these cupcakes.
Starting point is 00:46:02 and I've eaten them with my mouth. I'm crazy for these things. She's looking at them as it to say, how dare you fucking buy these stuff? It looks like she's saying, Gobble it up, Piggy. And I don't want to say, but that's the facial expression is gobble it up Piggy.
Starting point is 00:46:16 That's like what she's saying with her face. She is staring at you. Like she is some sort of war goddess who has nothing to do with this product whatsoever, clearly, clearly. It is a proofified by the wizard for a limited time. Soft fluffy cupcakes with osmopolitan pink frosting, strawberry flavored snack cakes with creamy filling. Perfectly snackable to satisfy your sweet tooth any time a day.
Starting point is 00:46:41 And it's a thrillifying way to celebrate the Wicked, the release of Wicked for Good only in theaters. Okay. Not in cupcakes. I feel like I've experienced the film if I've eaten the cupcakes. There's also an Elfable one. Don't worry. If I've eaten the Coke cakes and eaten the Hovis bread. What?
Starting point is 00:47:01 There's Hovis bread. What is it's best? Can you, Griffin, can you just, I'll just read, okay, I'll just read all the words that I'm seeing here. No, no, no, no, no. What is the hook? Look at the hook. Okay. So, this, best of both.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Yes. This is, this is a, this is a loaf that is 50% white bread and 50% whole meal flour bread. Yeah, and you've got Elvaba and Glinda looking at each other like, this is the kind of flour I like. And the other one says, no, I like this kind of flour. Yeah. But you can also. win a trip to Canada, it looks like. If you buy the right loaf of home is bread.
Starting point is 00:47:35 No, you can win a wicked trip to Canada. So apparently maybe there'll be some human trafficking in there. It's some drug mulling. The bread is labeled as medium. What is that to note in bread form? Give me the long alpha bread, please. Some of these British products and this is not even British. I think this is just like international products that I found.
Starting point is 00:47:57 I can't contextualize that for you. Can I also just say what I can contextualize is the number. want to talk about though real quick back to the hovis bread that it says best of both and it seems like the way they've manifested the best of both is to just use half and half of a thing so they've in no way attempted to extract the best qualities of each it should be half of each yeah half of each it's not the best of both delicious it's just yeah man they're both in there well i'm done all right i'm done uh i'm full and i'm going to reach for my cascade wicked for good uh uh oh this tries to This drives me fucking crazy.
Starting point is 00:48:33 This drives me up an absolute wall. Now, why is that? Well, Justin, I'm looking at the Cascade detergent pods. We all know what these look like. It's a sort of white, foamy, marbly, sort of base, and then the gel packet separating the two different chemicals. Only, okay, let me look at the colors of these chemicals. There's green, Elfaba's color, loves that one.
Starting point is 00:48:52 And then, oh, blue still on the other side. Didn't change a fucking car. It's a goddamn thing about it. Can I also say it is Emerald City Cent. Okay, but you didn't change. There's, this is a product with famously with two very bright and vivid colors sort of intertwined in a yin-yang, if you will, and you didn't, you couldn't figure out how to change one sort of ingredient to make it pink and green. Also, I'm glad that you included scent in there, but for me, the dishwashing experience, I would say, is the 99% closed, kind of closed door experience. Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:29 I was going to make a joke about this being offered earlier. No. Every witch needs a swiffer. What? It simply doesn't cut the same silhouette when cast against the full moon in the sky. I do not see. I'm also almost positive they made a joke about this in hocus pocus. In hocus pocus, too.
Starting point is 00:49:51 I'm almost certain they made a joke about it in hocus pocus too. Travis, I would swear to God they did. Every witch needs a swiffer. This is a wicked for good. Pink swiffer. Okay. That does what? No.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Okay. It's swift. It's swift, dude. And there is no green one. Fuck you. There is no green one. The green, you got to drop on the floor yourself and then swift it up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Next up, oh, the air, it's in the air tonight. It's wicked for good, misdibly decadent ambiance. Oh. There's a wicked for good for breeze and a wicked for good plug-in. Okay. If you want it just to be a beautiful blossom. Hey. That's the, the, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I haven't seen Wicked. one or two and you smelled it what I haven't touched Oz yet and I guess I'm wondering if there's this much kind of jeffy ass family circus mispronunciation of words in the mood is that like a factor in this is a gimmick of the thing cool so you should know this is on theme and I think what it is is honestly a lot of sad copywriters in this nation just wanted to have a little bit of fun for once in their fucking line sure you know what I mean they just wanted to have they wanted to touch Oz for a second and just not call it tropical breeze yeah you know i love the idea though of someone going to them and saying you need to have more fun and they're like please just let me it's pink and green is that fine
Starting point is 00:51:07 like no make a funny word in there i am hoping we get to wicked for good branded ragu pesquette sauce somewhere somewhere in the lineup it's green it's green posquette sauce hold on i just need to add one last quick addition here griffin There simply is no way that there's actually ragu. Okay, so this is, okay, so we have great value, wicked, mystery color, macaroni, and cheese. Which will you get pink or green? This I fuck with. We have absolutely devastated.
Starting point is 00:51:42 I wanted to remind you, yes. This is also fun because my kids hate being surprised by the color of the food they're about to eat. Yeah, the worst. And also, mac and cheese that doesn't look like regular mac and cheese. And cheese. Yeah. So this is fun because, like, no matter who wins, we lose. I think there's probably a lot of kids out there who are going to be devastated if one
Starting point is 00:52:05 of the, you are doing a coin flip for whether or not your child's going to eat that dinner or not. Have fucking fun. No way. Way too high stakes. You guys got to see the crocs. Oh, yeah. These are good.
Starting point is 00:52:15 I do like these. Got the crocs with the exclusive gibbets. Check out this heel. Is that what those are called? Let me shrink it. Let me go. You can't shrink that heel. I love that hill.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Check out this heel. That's fun and fun. Funky. Thank you, Cros. This makes sense to me. They got the brief. They understood the assignment. They touched Oz.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Now, who else touched Oz? Well, it's, it's, hey, guys, the drinkware on this movie is fucked. Dude, they've run out of, they've run out of realms to conquer and have started to, like, invent entirely new kind of aesthetics. This is Dragon Glassware. This is the official glassware, right? So we have tumblers. It's all about the accessories. These are big tumblers with some straw gibbets.

I'm here to give jiblet and touch oz and I'm fresh out of jibbets. Sip the wicked jiblets of ours. That's what R. Ariana Grande's face was communicating

Yes, absolutely. right like there's sugar cookies it's not the tier like normally Pillsbury does the least amount of effort where they make a huge like 80 mile log with buddy the else face in them and then they cut them into a million segments and ship them out to America these at least have frosting yes that's cool appreciate that oh yeah there's an entire goddamn caboodles collection but I got to bring we got to come back for that I don't know what a caboodle is wait what I don't know what a caboodle is okay I really you are My tab, one second, Griffin.

Starting point is 00:55:03 Yeah, I've seen plenty. A fishing tackle box is called a caboodle. It's like a tackle box, but it's pink and costs 80 bucks. So they've got a caboodle alphabet essence on the go-girl, and then there's a glinda glam on go-girl. Glamming. Glammed the go-girl. Then there's four piece for good set, four good, cosmic compact bundle. I did want to mention
Starting point is 00:55:26 this was not an actual one because this is not a partnership but it was the product that made me think about it Insomnia cookies which has a branch locally

Starting point is 00:55:58 I still don't like it's the like it's the four four you gotta really four four four four four you gotta really four four four good number and two were uh chocolate with green sprinkles and then there was like one with pink sprinkles it was the four good yeah anyway get it uh next up let me switch away from the caboodles there's so many can I just say adult and kid caboodles and caboodle accessories yeah and truly, truly unhinged level of kiboodles. Let me switch back to my normal tab for the rest of my wicked products.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Because here's where they get pretty... Still waiting to smell J.B. Oh, my God. Yeah, we'll get there. There's the... That's cool, though. That's a cool rug. Not for 550 goddamn American dollar. For $550 rugable, it better be cool.
Starting point is 00:56:46 It's Elphaba's layer emerald rug. Now, it promises to defy gravity, and if I sit on that rug and it does not live me off the ground, I would like my money back. He will. That is one notable thing, Trave. I feel like with Ruggs specifically, you cannot promise gravity defying. Defy gravity
Starting point is 00:57:03 in any space. Elphaba's layer That's what it says. Elphabas layer emerald rug features a flow of color to symbolize alphabet's transformation. Pops of pink, blue, and magenta hit her bond with Glinda, while hidden motifs, her glasses and hat will delight any wicked fan. That was
Starting point is 00:57:19 cool. You became like a different person every 23rd. word or something in there. Whoa. Now that's a little Jonathan Bailey made out of soap that looks like that. That's a little Jonathan Bailey meant of a soap. It's from lush. You can take a shower of Jonathan Bailey's head and smell the Jonathan Bailey smell and you can do this.
Starting point is 00:57:40 So the vascularity on this soap man is crazy. Let's start there. You should, before you, you should understand there's a twist. Yeah, Griffin. You should watch the movies, Griffin. You don't need a. brain to figure out that the wicked... You don't need a brain to figure out that our wicked for good, ex-lush body scrub
Starting point is 00:58:00 will lead you to the dreamiest skin this side of Oz. Enchanted with our Let the Good Times Roll fragrance, you'll be on the road to compliments in no time. Do you guys think you would rub the Jonathan Bailey face soap on your body face first, or would you leave that sort of for last? For a treat? If you do it first, if you do it first, if you go in face first and you rub Jonathan Bailey's soapy-sopie-sense, face all over your torso and your gunk and stuff, it's going to, you're going to pull it back
Starting point is 00:58:28 and the man will, the man won't be there anymore. He will, yeah, yeah, yeah, he will be, have been reduced into some sort of like mannequin. You want to leave the eyes for the last. I would boop him on the nose and say, I'm saving you for dessert. Yeah. And then I'll just wash with every other part. But if you do the backside first, it'll thin it out to a point where his face, I feel like is going to kind of like, stretch, distorted and stretch. Do you, do you guys? have any money left because if you just can spare me $450, I would love

Starting point is 00:59:29 But this one got Alphaba. It does got Alphabet. But I don't often pull out my Dutch oven and think, I hope people are looking at this. I'm going to show this off to all my friends. Dutch oven is such a- You read the text. I've been doing so many of these. Grounded and grounded and strengthened unapologetically bold,

It's rich finish signature. signature black nickel knob and deep matte black interior give this limited edition piece and unforgettable presence it's made for cooks who lead with conviction and embrace their own path and i guess the pink one the glinda one is also cool we just didn't yeah yeah you know standard it's good too hey are you a coward chef who doesn't embrace your own path and has no conviction we made one for you too. I want to say, I want to give big credit to the people at Foster Grant

All a very reasonable $40. Yeah. Hey, thank you. Trav, would you do the honors? Does someone need a makeover?

Starting point is 01:02:01 Look at all these pumas they did about wicked. Those speed cap ballet silver slippers. Those are so, those are so sad. Dude, I know that's the problem with them. The problem is they know how to do good stuff that makes us want to buy it. Now wait. Look at this bottle of Robinson's quoth. Another issue I have with this product, same I have with the hostess box.
Starting point is 01:02:19 I do not need Cynthia Arrivo. Looking at me disappointed as I drink my refreshing carbonated beverage. The look that she is giving to me. The look is withering. She's never drank squash ever. She doesn't know what it is. She doesn't know why she's on this bottle. This, I feel like they took this picture of Cynthia Aririo,
Starting point is 01:02:40 specifically for the bottle of Robinson Squash. Like, Cynthia, here's the picture today. This is for the label of Robinson Squat. Okay, I've got it. I got it. Say no more. Take them out. I got it. Perfect. Perfect. I got it. And that is all the
