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's rapping into a precious friendship. It feels love. Everybody, welcome to the maximum fun drive. It's my brother, my brother, me.
Starting point is 00:01:15 I'm the oldest brother, Justice McElroy. I'm sorry, Justin, I'm pretty sure you have to sing Sendin the Clowns. Yeah, it is actually contractually obligated that you sing the songs. No, if you don't do it. Sendin the Clowns is for the monumental episodes. This is Pay the Piper. Oh, right, right, right, right. Oh, you're right, you're right.
Starting point is 00:01:35 So, yeah, I guess hit Pay the Piper maybe a little bit harder. The notes, I'm getting these notes back from the focus group that we hired to sit and watch us. So yeah, that's so interesting. Let me try again because I know that we have paid, this is the one bad thing about max fund drive, which is the time that we come to you every year and say, hey, if you like the content that we make here in the maximum fund network, if you could kick in a few bucks to help make that happen. The negative thing about it that a lot of people don't want to talk about, but I would like to get out early is that we have already prepaid a consulting firm hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yeah. So much money. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:02:09 this drive, there is no way we are not already sunk. We are showing good money after bad. Taking a huge bath, we've never not been in the red, despite how much incredible support we've gotten, but Jesse loves this consulting firm. He is crazy about him.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Jesse's not even in charge anymore. It's a co-op run by the employees, but still somehow he's the one who's like. He'll still text you like, he's in the firm. And he does it in all lowercase, so you know he's being like kind of coy about it. but he loves this fucking firm. But it is the Max Fun Drive,
Starting point is 00:02:42 and this show exists because of people like you listening to it and enjoying it now. So please go to MaxWunfund.org slash join. There's so many great, wonderful prizes. I don't know if we're supposed to call them prizes. What's up, Travnation? I'm your middle-less brother, Travis, Big Dog Wolf Wolf Vroom, the Heater,
Starting point is 00:02:59 a war-winning hat in hand, McElroy. What's up, Trav Nation? It's me, your sweet baby brother. 30 under 30, media, luminary, built for tough. I don't have a base. Paul won yet, Griffin McElroy. It felt like the time to deploy it.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Yeah, yeah, strong. I was waiting for the right now. Yeah, yeah. So this, we haven't said it yet, but this is Max Fun Drive. I should have mentioned that up top. Yeah, we should have mentioned it. I should have mentioned it up top.
Starting point is 00:03:24 This is your chance to support the art and artists you love, and that's us. Because the number one thing we are artists. Artists making art because of you. Thanks to you for supporting us. Sorry, I was just reading. back over the past highlights of the Mbim Bam bonus content. And I had completely forgotten that we re-recorded one of our episodes with Matt Doyle.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Yeah, it's conceptual. It was, it was extraordinarily conceptual. That's right, Justin. That is, but one of the many Boko offering waiting for people to support. A prankie doodle dandy. I think Pranky Doodle Dandy contains my best joke. My best joke I've ever deployed is in Pranky Doodle Dandy. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:08 It was against our friend Lynn, and you just got to hear it to believe it because it's so fucking sick. It's like a sick for me. So if people go to maximum fun.org for it slash join, you can get all these details. You can hear about all this. But Travis, you were mid-spiel and I interrupted. I'm so sorry. Well, we have a lot of great boco. Some past highlights include prankie doodle dandy, which includes Griffin's best joke.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Yeah. We did a full re-recording of episode 400 with Matt Doyle. That was our Escape to Margaritaville blue carpet premiere episode. It was a fever dream. There's all kinds of stuff. You can go to Maximumfund.org slash join to become a member today. Do we want to talk about what we did this year for our book? I think Travis, I think you could do it, but then I think Travis is going to do it again after.
Starting point is 00:04:55 In a more professional. Like someone who won an Iheart media podcast award with it. We didn't win it for, we did not win it for Pledge, driving. We won it for ads, which is very much the opposite. It's an ad. This is an ad. A pledge drive is an ad for us. An ad for us. So big, so big, you know, big radio doesn't come in and buy out the whole station and shut us down.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Like they've been threatening to do for so long. Oh, man, radio. I'm not going to, radio kills the podcast star. Serious XM has been banging on the door saying, you guys have a radio station. We're a radio company. Let's work this out. And they don't want us to do a show on there. They want to shut us down.
Starting point is 00:05:35 They want to shut us down because we're competing with how. Howard Stern. They've been calling me a lot. They're like, how would you like two hours after Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray? And I'm like, what do you mean two hours after? Like, what does that mean? And they're like, you could sit in the booth that he was just in for two hours thinking your thoughts. And I'm like, that sounds great. When I play music and they said, oh, God, no. No, no, no, we don't play music. Travis, I actually, I hate to do this in the middle of our sort of pledge driver. We're asking people to support us at maximum fund.org slash join. But they, none of Mark's McGrath's microphone. are plugged in. They just let him go in there but none of his mics are plugged in. There's nothing recording. He just goes in there and they say time for your show and it's different every week. Yeah. But none of it is actually real.
Starting point is 00:06:20 In fact it's using a Fisher Price toy microphone but he hasn't noticed yet. That tracks. So for those $5 a month you become a member or if you're already a member you can consider upgrading, boosting all those things. There's a whole bunch of different levels with a whole bunch of different rewards and if you go to maximum fund.org slash join you'll find out about those Now, what kind of special stuff do we have planned for the Max Fun Drive?
Starting point is 00:06:42 Well, I'm glad you asked, I've invented a new game. Oh, man, I mentioned, did we mention, I just want to hear what our bocode this year is. Oh, right. We still haven't talked about it. We sat down with Janet Varney for a master class on voice acting in which Janet Varney uh, shamed us into being better voice actors, question mark. Uh, you could check that out as well as every. past book code, not just from my brother
Starting point is 00:07:09 and my brother me, but from all the Max Fun shows including Adventure Zone, Salbones, Schmanners, and Wonderful at Maximum Fun.org slash join. Now, are you ready? How come whenever she said mean stuff to us, she always did it in the Cora voice, because she was like, I want it to feel like Cora's like fucking burning you and razzing you.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Well, that's how she do. I guess so. That's how Janet Barney is very powerful. A good, strong, powerful move. It's River Natural. These are two real weird shows. stuff happens on them sometimes the same on both it's river natural welcome to river natural a game in which i will give you a plot line and you will tell me if it's from riverdale supernatural or both this is a good good good good good idea travi i'm so excited for it river i'm excited for and i'm excited for your mustache thank you
Starting point is 00:08:01 very much griff that i did have to tell i did give you some criticism some editorial notes before It was quite lopsided by about a good quarter inch. But sometimes it takes a brother's eye and a mother's love. So really quite a gift because you could have let the internet handle your light work and that's very beautiful of you, Griffin. No, man. I mean, it looked like he was wearing like a upside down uppercase j. It was really quite intense. I was going for a look.
Starting point is 00:08:28 It was a, it was a love letter to Justin and you took that away from him. Like it was melting down one side. Yeah. Yes. It was a Salvador dolly mustache. Travis, is it gonna fuck things up that I've seen probably two seasons of Riverdale and then as much supernatural as I could stomach? That show is too scary for me.
Starting point is 00:08:47 No. I feel like I'm gonna have a, I did, I feel like Riverdale didn't get too supernatural until later on. A lot of this stuff is from later season, Riverdale. So Riverdale. Which season does the smoke monster come out of Jughead's butt? That's episode one season one. Okay, yeah, right. That's opening shot, literally.
Starting point is 00:09:08 So, Riverdale's show about some All-American teenagers and Supernatural show about two brothers traveling the world fighting, demons and monsters and the Vint diagram is a circle. Okay, are you guys ready? Yeah, I'm ready and willing. Okay, here is your first plot line. The main characters have to deal with a haunted doll moving on its own. and terrorizing people. Is that Riverdale supernatural or both?
Starting point is 00:09:41 Both. I also think it's both. That seems general enough. That is correct. Sam and Dean do battle with a ghost that possesses dolls and murders people at a bed and breakfast
Starting point is 00:09:52 and Cheryl Blossom's unborn brother, which would have made her and her brother triplets, Julian possesses a doll and it causes friction between Cheryl and her girlfriend. Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:04 What kind of, that could mean anything. Well, her girlfriend's like, hey, for fuck's sake, please get rid of that haunted doll. And while you're at it, if you want to get rid of the corpse of your brother that you put makeup on and keep around the house for some reason, that would also be cool. If I had a doll with one of you guys in it, I would for sure get rid of it because I think that's what you would want. If a haunted doll is ever causing literal friction in your sexual relationship, it may be time to reevaluate. because that is not an appropriate application of a haunted doll. I should also say spoilers for Riverdale and Supernatural if that wasn't obvious. Yeah, geez, pal.
Starting point is 00:10:42 After traveling through time with an angel by their side, a main character tries to stop the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Okay, okay. Holy fucking shit, dude. Fuck, dude. Either one is pretty bodacious. Both is the big play right now. The only show that's actually allowed to do stuff like this is quantum leap,
Starting point is 00:11:01 as we all know. Yeah, Quantum Leap is the only. one. Fuck, dude. I answered authoritatively first, Griffin. I'm gonna let you. Okay, I know there is a time travel subplot at some point in Supernatural.
Starting point is 00:11:11 So I'm gonna say Supernatural. I do not think they would touch this rail with Archie and the gang. I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with Griffin because there is also a time travel subplot in Riverdale where they go back to original Archie times. And everybody's archie-ey-ey-ey-ey-eye's to the original Archie vision. That sounds cool.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yeah, man, I've kind of, I know I'm not ever going to You know what I'm not going to watch it Yeah I'm not going to watch it It sounds cool Justin is correct Oh damn it Tabitha who is pop's granddaughter
Starting point is 00:11:42 Is chrono kinetic Or more simply put A time traveler This is from the wiki The drama of her getting shot By Purcell's Hitman Unlocked her gift sending her back in time
Starting point is 00:11:51 To December 24th 1944 Where she was guided by her guardian Angel Raphael To complete her mission As Tabitha continued to travel She learned that some events in time are fixed points, meaning certain incidents from the past affect the fabric of the world so enormously
Starting point is 00:12:05 that the universe won't let them be altered, such as the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. So this is the Jughead Show Riverdale. Correct. Awesome. That's great. I heard, I'll be honest, Travis, I heard Angel and I thought, lay up, supernatural is lousy with these fucking hot guys, usually. Just egg on my face.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Sorry, Griff. A witch burned at the sixth century. earlier possesses a main character and attempts to seduce another main character. Both. That's easy both. I'm not saying supernatural. That would be Riverdale. Cheryl's-
Starting point is 00:12:42 What happened on that show? Cheryl's ancestor was a powerful witch, possesses her body, and attempts to introduce her girlfriend. If I'm not mistaken, the same girlfriend that didn't like having the haunted doll around. The Honodal, yeah. Why is she sticking around, man? This is your sign. Get out of there. It is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:12:59 So right now, Jazada has one boy. It is discovered that the events of the series are being written about in a popular book series. Whoa. Huh. Okay. Supernatural. Griffin is correct. There's a book series that chronicles the Winchester Brothers Adventures by an author named Chuck.
Starting point is 00:13:18 There is a similar storyline in Riverdale that results in Jughead having to lock himself in a bunker and write stories to save the universe. But that universe is River Vale, a dark version of Riverdale. Travis, I need to know this is a reputable wiki that you're getting these from and not something more, let's say, amateur generated, unauthorized. This is all real, baby. That's cool. So Jughead the Burger Man has to save the universe by writing his way out. That's cool. Well, there's two Jugheads because they're in River Vale.
Starting point is 00:13:57 So there's Riverdale Jughead and River Vale. jughead often referred to as narrator jughead and writer jughead. Okay. There's two jug heads inside of all of us. That's true. So this is kind of like a Ted Mosby situation where you got two different Ted Mosley. You got the older guy telling the story to his kids, and then you got the younger guy who's an architect.
Starting point is 00:14:22 And none of it can be trusted. You got Saggett Prime. Saget Prime. And he's changing the story for the kids. kids because sometimes they'll take out some of the profanity. And change weed to sandwiches. Is there, um, is there like a supernatural plot line on how, on hymium, I think is how you shorten that one?
Starting point is 00:14:42 They're all goes. Himium. Okay, they're all goes. Residents of a town are terrorized by what they believe to be paranormal predators, but the main character's discovery is actually a family of crazed rednecks. Both shows. Both shows. My brother, my brother and me.
Starting point is 00:14:58 by virtue of this segment yeah I think Justin should get at least a half a point okay yeah Justin can have a half point Griffin is correct in Supernatural it's one episode in Riverdale it spans at least one season maybe multiple seasons it is at first believed to be an alien
Starting point is 00:15:17 species called the mothman oh interesting they didn't know that they could use that yep until they discovered that it is an inbred redneck family like you do so you guys couldn't It's the one cryptid we have. Well, I guess we have a flatwood monster too, but come on. Okay, we got lots of cryptids.
Starting point is 00:15:36 A D&D-esque game is unleashed on the town, and many residents become obsessed. The game involves many real-life dangers to advance, including every player receiving a mission to murder one of the main characters. Oh, man, that's cool. Justin, I feel like you've lost the plot a little bit. It's Riverdale, Supernatural, or both? Or both? There's only three answers. Write in E and then like fill that bubble in.
Starting point is 00:16:03 That doesn't work. Is neither an option? No. Okay. So let's say supernatural or both. Okay. I feel like, I feel like supernatural be more tuned into that community. But I do think Riverdale is the right answer.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Because I think they would do a Jumanji episode for sure. Griffin is correct. In Riverdale, they play Griffins and Gargoyles. and at the behest of the Gargoyle King, a terrorizing figure that is seen wandering the town and he's like 10 feet tall. At one point, every player is assigned the mission to murder Archie.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Whoa. Holy shit, good luck. You never see that coming. Yeah, damn, I want to be the Gargoyle King. Is Riffredo good? There's also a scene where Archie fights a bear and I couldn't figure out a way to include that that wouldn't make it obvious
Starting point is 00:16:58 that it was Archie fun. a bear. Did the bear also have a game? No, this is separate. Archie kicks the bear's ass. Yeah, of course he does. Archie or the bear. Yeah, who would you rather be stuck in the woods with? One Archie or one bear?
Starting point is 00:17:15 I mean, I would say if the Archie over the bear, but Jughead can rewrite reality, so I don't know where that puts him in the power rankings. Yeah. Travis, that was a really good game. Griffin wins. You say that because you won. That's the only reason you like the game. It's a really good game.
Starting point is 00:17:30 I watched a not insignificant amount of Riverdale, and they didn't get into any of this shit. They didn't get in anywhere near that shit. I am stricken with embarrassingly poor eyesight and can't see without my glasses. I lost my glasses this morning, so the only way I can see and read throughout the day is with my prescription sunglasses. How do I wear my sunglasses indoors out in public without seeming like a dushy asshole? That's from corrective vision needed in Columbus. The extra info here is so necessary. They are copper polarized lenses.
Starting point is 00:18:07 You know. So this is going to be big Hollywood energy, I feel like. This is not like, this is a light tint. This is like, yeah, we could have all this cleared out by next week and get a Chipotle in here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm just shutting down this stupid place. The type of sunglasses put such a fucking vital vector on this because if they were sort of more tamed. sunglasses I would see no problem here if you roll up into the panera bread looking like
Starting point is 00:18:33 fucking cold trickle then you're not going to you are going to turn some heads yeah I know that the quote he can't see a thing without his glasses is from my girl but I yeah for some reason my brain always first attributes it to the mummy with the guy yes yeah yes sentence can't be going anywhere interesting I I'm just gonna call it audible I'm the sentence. No way. It's gonna pay off. One of Travis's brain mistakes.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Yeah, is that I always think he can't see a thing without his glasses is about the member of the American party that loses his glasses and the mommy takes his eyes. Yeah, yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Travis, I'm right there with you. But I also very much you're also more there with me when I tried to stop that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. Who could say? I think that
Starting point is 00:19:23 a power move would be every time anyone says anything, lower your glasses and look over the top of them and say, I'm basically legally blind right now. And then slide them back up. That could, I mean, that's extremely descriptive. Like, you're gonna, no one's going to say fucking shit after that trash. So it's a strong answer in that regard.
Starting point is 00:19:42 But that is a, I don't know if that's a social encounter that most people are like, wanting to sort of volunteer over and over and over. That's fair. I guess the, like, you could really try to pull. play it up like you're doing a bit because of how good your life's going. Oh, yeah. Like people are like, hey, Dave, everything's going. You look at me like, pretty good.
Starting point is 00:20:09 You tell me. You tell me. Check the shades. Yeah. Shades. I'm indoors. And then hand him a 20. Thanks for asking, kid.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Uh-oh, what's that? Jeans and flip-flops. Hang loose. I just ran into Dave earlier today. Things are going really good for him, I think. Yeah. He gave me a 20 and said, keep the change, which I didn't understand it all, but he said it in such a way that I said, thank you, Mr. Dave. And I was confused, but impressed. I don't know, man. I heard his house just burned down But he's in like a fucking vibey mood right now
Starting point is 00:20:45 Yeah Did he have insurance? Did he have like a big insurance? Was it arson maybe? Do you think Dave burned down his own house For the arson money and that's why he's vibing so tight right now? God, he's so cool. God, he's damn he's cool.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Look at those polarized lenses. I think we got it. I went on an overnight work retreat With one pair of jeans planning to wear them both days. Yes. Sure. I spilled coffee on my jeans.
Starting point is 00:21:08 So I tried to wash them out in the sink last night. This morning my jeans are shucking wet. I don't wear my pajama pants today with such purpose that my colleagues do not ask questions. They are light gray sweatpants. I think I can do this. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:21:25 More of that. I like that. I think I could do this. That's from two casual Friday. P.S. I packed three shirts for this two-day work retreat. Why couldn't I have spilled the coffee on my shirt? Shirt, pants. Shirt, pants. Shirt, pants. Pull them on.
Starting point is 00:21:40 button up tuck it into your underwear just sew the crotch where the buttons is shirt pants yep shirt pants button fly button fly it's perfect all the way around I I once saw a post somewhere that said like I pack clothes like I'm planning to shit my pants every day yeah right when I pack if it's like I'm gonna be there for four days so I'll need 12 pairs of underwear like that's my thought process and like I am the person, I will pack a pair of pants for every day
Starting point is 00:22:15 and then like an extra pair of pants mostly because I know that I will often just Shrek around knock stuff over, spill things on myself, sometimes right out the gate, you know. I have to quibble with our listeners.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Y'all have got to start come to us a few mistakes earlier than you are. Like, It's so hard to do this after. Let's take it from the beginning, okay? Hey, I'm gone on a work trip. Oh, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Make sure you pack a couple pairs of pants. Nope, just one. Thank you. Okay. I am packing four articles of clothing. Sure. Here's the thing. Just don't spill anything on them.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Nope, too late. Spill coffee on them. Oh, that stinks. Well, make sure you wash them. Yeah, I did. Oh, good. Well, make sure you to get them dry. Nope, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Well, guys, what do I do now? Fucking. Why did you come to us earlier? You know what I mean? Like, hey guys, help me pack for my big trip. God, I crush it packing. I love packing so much, and they never ask us to do it, guys. Give me your perfect packing presentation.
Starting point is 00:23:19 My perfect packing presentation? Because I think packing is not cool. I think pack is for grandmas. Teach me, give me your perfect packing presentation. I mean, I like to fold them up tight. I like no creases. My undies, I roll into little burritos,
Starting point is 00:23:31 and I build sort of barriers between different items with those. I stopped folding my underwear, a decade ago. Oh, it's not a fold. It's a roll. This is what I'm saying. Boop. Oh, I'm not going to roll.
Starting point is 00:23:44 It's like always a cram with the undies. Craming a drawer. Craming a suitcase. Always a cram. I pack my packing experience is like a severance, any and outy where when I get to the place that I'm going, I open my suitcase and I'm like, who packed this?
Starting point is 00:23:59 Surprise. Nothing is anywhere. I can't find what's in here? I like it. Wherever I am with my bag is my home. And I want it to feel like home. And so I roll my underwear is up into burrito shakes.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Just like you do at home? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. It's like a Chipotle down there. How many pairs of pants do you bring? Two pairs of pants. Four spills. Do you do one jeans and one fancy knot jeans?
Starting point is 00:24:26 That's usually what I do. I do a brown denim and a regular denim. Two kinds of pants. Now, I have a pair of dress pants that's kind of stretchy and soft, and they feel like, but I'm a pants, but they look like dress pants and those are my go-to-fly-in pants
Starting point is 00:24:41 because it's like I'm comfortable in these all day because no one knows no one knows how stretchy it is how do you dress up how do you dress up how do you dress up starch you got to starch them up
Starting point is 00:24:52 starch is good starch and iron is good fold each leg sort of the wrong way right depth wise make a pleat make a nice sharp pleat
Starting point is 00:25:03 with an iron starch those bad boys the fuck up I get a lot of TikTok content of people starch-maxing and making their clothes so rigid that they can stand up
Starting point is 00:25:13 on their own and then they have to put those clothes on. That's my algo right now. Anything's possible? Lowered into them like Wallace and Gromit? No, they like lay to have to lay down on the ground and kind of scoot into them. They're wearing other pants
Starting point is 00:25:24 by the way. This is not a nude sexual sort of this is not like my thing is like starch maxing. I'm just saying it's ended up in my algo and they keep giving it to me because every time I'm like there's no way they're getting
Starting point is 00:25:36 those goddamn jeans on. So you are interested in it. It's not like it keeps popping up and you're like, what is this doing here? Yeah, but like their dick's not out. Like, it's not about that. No one said it was. No, I know, but I want Travis, again, preparation is a big
Starting point is 00:25:51 part of it, cutting it off at the past. I just want people to know this is because it's funny to me to watch people put on rigid jeans. You can make sweatpants into dress pants. Could you fashion a sweatband out of like a hand towel or something? Cut the sleeves off a t-shirt, roll up playing like the Rocky theme on your phone and you're like, I'm ready
Starting point is 00:26:09 to company retreat. Let's do this. I'm like, I'm prepped, I'm pumped. Now you're the CEO. You got promoted because you care the most. I think if this person wanted to put in that level of effort, they would have dried their jeans. Fair enough. I'm not sure planning is there. There's no hair dryer
Starting point is 00:26:27 where you're staying? I had to hair dry out. Oh my God. Cooper and the kids were throwing water balloons yesterday. And of course, that was the only pair of shoes that she has to wear to school and they're soaked. And I was like, it's 720. We got to leave in like 10 minutes. I was like, it's okay. I'll hit him with the hairdryer. So I put the hair dryer into this little kid's shoe and I turned it on full blast. Yeah. And the air that came back at me, it was as though I had opened the Ark of the covenant and my the layers of flesh it couldn't be that a human child plus heat not what is adorable as
Starting point is 00:27:12 adorable as your child any human you know what I mean I felt like agent Smith like the virus that you people have infected my nostrils it's repellent I couldn't look at the kid the same like you know what mean like there's something wrong in her feet it's not her fault that you turned her footwear into a fucking despicable me minion fart gun that sucks dude that's mean that's I don't want that Charlie came over and I said Charlie it's the worst thing of ever experience

Starting point is 00:28:14 inside the dryer and then turn the dryer on. Save yourself. I did something like that. I use a coat hanger to kind of wedge open the microwave door and then I put the shoe in there.
Starting point is 00:28:25 That's not something like that. And I kind of wedged it so the microwave could work open if you will just like rig it the right way. So that actually could get the shoe. Yeah, pop off the governor and it'll work. And it gave you a Hulk like cancer. So that's a super turf of shoe cancer.

No, we forgot to charge them. Yeah, it's basically, yeah. Most of the stuff that we're able to do is because of listeners like you,
Starting point is 00:35:53 And I really feel like PBS when I say that, it's very true. If you think about it, the fact that we don't rely on advertising revenue as much and yet still try so hard at it, is actually better. This might surprise folks at home. Most advertisers only pay for 60 seconds spots. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Whoops. Also, before we get back to the show, everybody go follow Macroy family on Instagram, and you'll get all the updates of like all the streams we're doing over the next two weeks. and the bonus goals. Every day. We're streaming every day.

Starting point is 00:36:48 A brush that increases desires. Welcome to the haunted dog watch. Watch. This time we're going to talk about a cursed state haunted 19th century ritual object. The brush that increases desires. How both very vague and very specific at the same time. It's so specific, dude. It's a brush that increases
Starting point is 00:37:05 desires. That's the whole object. It is amazing. It is real. And I'm going to tell you all about it right now. They did. I just want to point. They posed this brush for this photo on a mirror that makes it look like a mimic with like teeth that are about to like a little monster.
Starting point is 00:37:26 It's scary, Travis cursed. I've got the description in another tab, but I just want to show you guys. I increase your desires. Yeah, I'm just a hundred. Hey ladies, free brush rides over here. Jesus Christ. It's, uh, it sucks. That sucks.
Starting point is 00:37:46 The boy sucks. That sucks. I do, I do want to show you guys if I could. I'm not going to go through these, but you need to see how wild this space has gotten real quick. The similar items? Okay. This is like I'm keeping,
Starting point is 00:37:59 I need you to know how haunted dollwatch, I am like using maximum restraint in this event by not making our whole podcast about the supernatural world on eBay. Your bailine-esque filter, Justin, that only keeps the smallest krill in there is incredible. Can I read some of these for the people? People who are not seeing. Can I have the fourth one there,
Starting point is 00:38:23 Graven, I just want to, okay, thank you. We got a $100 candle that's a love spell casting, obsession, spell, love, magic, ritual, psychic witchcraft. But I know you're saying, fuck, but I'm trying to fuck now. I need something immediate in a panic. And can I interest you in an $80, ultra obsession emergency level, spell casting, love ritual, wika, pagan, authentic.
Starting point is 00:38:45 So this is like a- nut emergency. Right. You need to nut. It's like a can't, I guess they will cast the spell if you buy it. So it's like an instant cameo. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like if they were sitting by, John Leguizamo is like sitting by the phone and it's like, ding.
Starting point is 00:39:01 And he's like, oh, fuck, here we go. It's like that. And then we also have a demoness spirit, companion, succubis, siren sex spell. That's a cameo from Richard Schiff for Dwight's birthday. No fucking way. Dude, nine minutes long. You're kidding me. Schiff just watching the Olympics, bullshitting.
Starting point is 00:39:19 unbelievable quality on the Richard Schiff cameo. If you want to get a Richard Schiff cameo, highly recommend it was just Richard Schiff bullshitting about the Olympics for nine minutes. It was fucking fantastic. I got Sydney a Dooley Hill once and he recorded like five minutes
Starting point is 00:39:36 just talking about stories of his time on West Wing, his time to... He's firing for her candidacy is unbelievable, unbelievable hit rate with the West Wing cameos. Anyway, sorry. The fourth item here, become a real vampire, ritual spellcasting,
Starting point is 00:39:50 immortality, strength, $40. But then above it, it says, almost gone. Almost gone. They only got one left. What is that for spells? Strength dominant power. Every vampire can only sire
Starting point is 00:40:04 11 other vampires. Well, actually, the number of vampires you can sire depends on your sort of like potency, which isn't that just the way of things. So this brush is $120 or as low as $40.94 a month with Kornah. Thanks Kornah
Starting point is 00:40:22 for helping me make good financial decisions. I am sad to report that some of the haunted doll space has been overrun by AI, so I have to work a little bit harder to find the descriptions that have the real heart and soul to it. So a lot of those that you're seeing with like, it's a spell. I don't care. You know,
Starting point is 00:40:40 somebody's generate, whatever. So I got to find the real shit. Such as a brush that increase his desires. Collectors understand containment, controlled environments, minimal handling, emotional distance. Objects like this. Is this by their ex-wife? Hey, Travis, no, it's obviously in much the same way that you might look at,
Starting point is 00:41:02 hmm, a toaster, and you see on the back, it says, small, metal, makes Brandon hard and hot, right? Item description. This is the item description of the brush that increases desires. But the description is all like too powerful. So toasters don't say like, get so hot. So, so, so, so hot. You must understand. Do not fuck around with this.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Toaster owners understand one thing. Burning bridges. Distancing themselves from anyone who's ever cared about them. Emotional numbness. Collectors understand containment. Controlled environments, minimal handling emotional distance. Objects like this don't awaken in new spaces. They remain inert until the moment they cross from custody.
Starting point is 00:41:46 into ownership. The transition is not symbolic. It's cognitive. What? Shit. How is that different? I didn't even think about that. Dude, this 19th century brush
Starting point is 00:41:59 was never meant for casual use. Yeah, man. Even back when it was a brush, even back when it was a brush, you were really supposed to fucking... Even back was just a brush. Just a simple brush. Children, are you playing with Papa's brushes again?
Starting point is 00:42:16 Not fucking, no, that's his business brush. That's his business brush. He has important meetings tomorrow with the governor. Justin, that previous statement, just to jump back real quick, is that a verbose way of saying, no, I can't demonstrate it to you right now? It doesn't work until you buy it. Yeah, dude, you literally, listen, objects handled close to the body repeatedly and privately accumulate association.
Starting point is 00:42:47 We've, this is just science. So every dildo is haunted. Every dildo is haunted. Why did me and doesn't both decide to sing that? That would be a better dildo that increases desire would be better. That's just normal. It would be weird to have a dildo that decreases desire. And they're like, you know what, second thought.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Over time. This cube-shaped Minecraft dildo is decreasing. Why did I buy the creeper? Why did I buy the creeper? Get out of their creepers. Over time, this one absorbed what people brought to it. Memory, mood, unresolved thought, use of quiet use, layered grief over longing, regret over hope.
Starting point is 00:43:27 Nothing malignant, just incomplete. When it left the collector, the brush didn't change. I did. Awesome. I was open in a way the previous owner never allowed themselves to be. The brush didn't add anything to my life. Wait. It accelerated what was already present.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Fuck, yeah. Questions I'd postpone. Emotions I'd learn to bypass efficiently. It shortened the distance between thought and feeling. That is what it offers. This is the best TED talk I've ever been to. This is what the brush can bring to your life today. I mean, bupropion is covered under my insurance,
Starting point is 00:44:09 but it feels like I could probably cut that out of my resume. You've used your AHSA to buy. this brush. Yeah, the brush that increased desires. The brush that increases desires. How is it with executive function? Does it help with executive function? The brush doesn't add to your executive function, Trave.
Starting point is 00:44:29 It takes what was already there and executes it more. Do you understand it shortens the link? The symbiotic link between executive and function. It makes it short, that's one word. I do also take something that makes it so the anxious thoughts have a harder time going from, let's call it the idea factory to, you know, the movie screen for the silent witness inside me. Is this going to accelerate that? Because I'm not so wild about that. Griffin, do you understand that human beings only use 10% of their hairbrush, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:04 The average human being only uses this brush, 100% of the hairbrush is you. This looks straight into your brain. When you put it on your head, it goes through the skull. to the brain. That's, okay, that would change you, I guess. I'm just now
Starting point is 00:45:19 kind of looking at this Kirsta's state haunted 19th century ritual object brush that increases desires. And just so
Starting point is 00:45:26 that I really hadn't paid much attention to the layout of the bristles on here and this does look like a brush for horses. This does look like a brush for horses.
Starting point is 00:45:34 It has a push broom like consistency to the bristle. It does. It's very, very beautiful. I do feel like I should buy the brush that
Starting point is 00:45:42 increases desire because I've said it so many times. that I'm desiring it now. You do need to be careful because if you buy this, you will start buying more stuff. Your desire will be so increased. This is, okay, once the brush enters your space,
Starting point is 00:45:55 certain effects are common. Now, the first one that says is smoother hair, which I don't think you get any points for that. Like, is that just regular brush stuff? Wait, so it's supposed to be used for casual use? No, you just said. No, I made that one up. Once the brush enters your space,
Starting point is 00:46:12 certain effects are common. thoughts feel fully formed as if they arrive without preamble like the thought shit I waste $120 on this brush Oh no no
Starting point is 00:46:22 Memory surface without How do I tell my wife That I bought a $120 I told Deborah I was done I told Deborah I never would do it again Shit she's gonna know Memories surface without clear triggers
Starting point is 00:46:31 Can I remember the last time I bought a curse Oh no Can I vote no on that one Can I just not have that one I'd rather not experience that I got a good Like I got a pretty good
Starting point is 00:46:42 ladle of memory surfacing without clear triggers, thank you. Yeah, emotional timing. This is my favorite. Emotional timing slips and you react faster or later than expected. Okay, but not accurately. That's the thing. You'll be way more angry or way more sad than the situation to be. Faster or slower. So something will happen and you'll react before it or 10 minutes later, but not right when it
Starting point is 00:47:09 happens. If you never see me say, oh God, the plate. Just like, pay attention. Start watching for plates. Start watching for plates. You're out of Fizzoli's with your family and you just, fuck. And I was, what? You're like, hold on, let me think.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Shit, I did stub my toe earlier today, but this feels excessive for that. Lastly, reflective surfaces become difficult to ignore. That's so awesome. None of this is dramatic. That's the problem. The brush. the brush speeds up recognition
Starting point is 00:47:45 faster than the mind prefers like noticing too much at once without the buffer of narrative what antique grooming tools are antimount by design they're handled close to the face used repetitively associated with preparation
Starting point is 00:48:02 and self-presentation they sit at the threshold between private thought and public appearance so a new owner's inevitable to write a fucking book. Get off of eBay and write a book, my friend. I want to read it so bad.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I want more extremely sort of youngian sort of philosophical haunted doll watches. I'm really excited about this new horizon. I have been letting this person dictate the pace of my delivery with their paragraph breaks. And I'm no longer going to do that. Okay, guys.
Starting point is 00:48:37 So if you want to stop me from this point on, you're going to need two hands. All right. Hit it. A new owner inevitably does three things. It pays attention to the object, assigns its significance, and incorporates it into routine from their cognition takes over. Repetition plus emotional load gives any object psychological gravity. Attention is what? Fuel. Using the brush during emotional stress, treating it as meaningful or exceptional, keeping it near fragile or valued items, attributing outcomes to it.
Starting point is 00:49:10 These behaviors create feedback loops, language like it wants. It's also how you take care of a gigapet. It wants. It reacts. It externalizes internal states, making them feel source elsewhere. The object doesn't act. The meaning remains active. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Shit, dude. Brush favors continuity. The brush favors continuity. It has outlasted many owners who believe possession implied control. What it actually really. relies on is love consistency. Over decades, it has absorbed not vanity but fracture.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Unresolved decisions. Stalled conversation, alternate versions of people that never fully emerged. These don't disappear, they compress. The brush becomes dense with unused selves. What? Fucking hell, man. Everything everywhere, all at brush. It's the brush that increase. All in brush. We love this brush. The first night with a new owner, always an adjustment.
Starting point is 00:50:13 The mind maps it into the environment. Don't let the brush sleep in your bed. It's going to want to. Don't let the brush anywhere near your house. It's never going to sleep in a room. Give a brush a cookie. If you have a pool house like Ryan had in the OC, that would be actually better. It would be a few weeks.
Starting point is 00:50:28 I'm then it can have a own space, which is nice. Yeah. There might be a heightened sense of presence, not because anything is watching, but because the owner is. What? Settle behaviors become noticeable. delays before responding. Okay. Tonal shifts mid-sentence.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Pauses before mirrors. Because you can't ignore. You can't stop looking at yourself. You can ignore the reflective. Do I own this brush? The brush functions like a prompt the brain can't control. Uh-huh. It's ADHD.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Okay. What they're describing, I'm realizing now is the ADHD brush. Yeah, you're going to speak. The brush that gives you ADHD. You're going to speak before you think. You're going to become distracted by reflective. services. You're going to react to things maybe long after they happen. You're going to have a big
Starting point is 00:51:15 emotional response to little things. You're going to maybe forget what you were doing in the middle of it. You're going to play like 6,000 hours of Stardue Valley. You're going to start emptying the dishwasher, but you're going to end power washing the sidewalk. The most frequently heard phrase you're going to hear in your day-to-day life is, now, wait, is this a dream you had or a supernatural episode? Don't give them ideas for game.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Justin, you'll throw off the rhythm of these bits. It's been so long since we've done a haunted doll watch on the show. I do just want to make space for the observation that the apologetics game has gotten like so much stronger because it just used to be that they would say like, here's a haunted doll. If it doesn't move for you, then sometimes spirits are shy. Just keep waiting. And in this one, it's like there is no magic.
Starting point is 00:52:01 There is no spirit. There is no God. It's inside the mind. And that is the God. The God's inside your mind. and cognition is attention is essential for these dolls in your mind. I. Another way of putting that, Griffin, is old conversations will replay, not as regret, but as
Starting point is 00:52:19 unfinished business. Memories are surfaced not for nostalgia, but for correction. You may feel a low-level urge to reach out, clarify, amend, resolve things. No one else remembers clearly anymore. This is not conflict creation. It's continuity rest. duration. Is this brush being sold by the narrator from Stanley Parable? This brush is not being sold because I have purchased it, but I understand the question.
Starting point is 00:52:48 At night, there can be a bodily sensation, a pressure. Because I promise we're using our money in essential ways for the business. You know what I am going to do? You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to fucking raffle it off. Someone will be the lucky recipient of the brush that increases desire. It's on the line. I have ordered it. I've bought it. Hey, hey, hey, hey, I can't talk long. Sorry, I'm on the road or the run. I'm on the road or the run, however you want to say it. But the brush arrived, and I just wanted to say, super quick update on this, cancel this.
Starting point is 00:53:23 I'm not going to do it. I'm going to keep the brush. I think it's better if I have it, and I don't think anybody should have it. Now that I have the brush and see it, I feel like it's better for I will keep it. I can't even read the listing anymore. I fucked it. I cannot believe. Guys, just let me power through the rest of this. I'm almost done.
Starting point is 00:53:43 You're kidding me. I promise. Relationships may feel heavier. Conversations read longer. Silence gains texture. Some people lean in, mistaking the weight for depth. Others withdraw.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Unsettled by how much feels unfinished. Some people can't fucking handle the brush. guys some people may be like wait is this a brush conversation or is this a regular conversation is this more of your brush shit Mark listen I'm I love you and I'm excited for this new chapter in your life
Starting point is 00:54:14 but like you need to give me a heads up if it's a brush talk or not because brush talks are exhaust I don't have brush you are the only one with the brush so like I'm off kilter there's not there's an imbalance here whenever we have a brush Is there a signal you can give me when a pause is a normal pause and when it's a brush pause
Starting point is 00:54:31 please yeah something just like hold one finger up if it's a normal pause, two fingers up if it's a brush pause. The brush benefits from relational strain because strain generates reflection. Wow. And you can't ignore reflection. We've established that. You can't. It's settled.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Reflection is strain leaving the body. The brush encourages repeated use. Baby, it's not me. I didn't want to cheat on you. Brush wanted me to cheat on you. The brush needed this for us. Do you understand, baby? Brush wants us to grow, babe.
Starting point is 00:55:11 I love brush. There, I said it. The brush encourages repeated use, not for grooming, for alignment. You shouldn't use this old-ass brush. It's probably gross. Use this old-ass brush, but it wants you to use it as like a foam roller, it sounds like. Owners report an impulse to brush slowly, deliberately, while thinking of different versions of themselves, the one who stayed, the one who left, the one who almost spoke, the one
Starting point is 00:55:36 who learned to manage instead of confess. The act becomes a sort of sorting behavior, a rehearsal of cohesion. Once those versions begin to feel adjacent instead of contradictory, resistance decreases. That's the inflection point. Oh, wait, there's a little bit of smudge here. It actually says the brush that increases depression. That's crazy. Continuity requires participation. Without it, the object loses specificity. Details blur.
Starting point is 00:56:07 The way it feels wrong in the hand. Objects like this are rarely discarded, not because they're dangerous, but because they feel unfinished. Yeah. They wait until someone needs integration badly enough to tolerate discomfort. The brush reflects a simple truth humans often avoid. Everyone fractures. Eventually someone decides coherence matters. more than comfort
Starting point is 00:56:33 and they accept the cost. I've never this is, is a Manusphere influencer selling a haunted brush on eBay? This seems awfully I'll be honest, a little brainy
Starting point is 00:56:49 trap for that particular sphere. Let the brush break you down so it can build you back up better than ever. I want to say one thing to you guys. This person is, okay, Can you just hear me out for a second? Yeah, yeah, please.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Now that we've gotten to the end of the listing for a cursed estate object, 19th century ritual object, the brush that increases desires. Yeah. A Justin McRoy possession. That's what I'll start thinking of. Based on the novel,
Starting point is 00:57:16 Push My Sandler. A Justin McRoy investment, please. Yeah, please. What I... You know, that person spent a lot of... Maybe like that listing was like way better than it needed to be at all right? Sure.
Starting point is 00:57:34 It was like really good. And I think it stands to reason that the only kind of way you could justify spending that much time writing a dope listing for your eBay brush is that maybe that's really easy for you to do now. Uh-huh. Because the brush that you've been using. You know what I'm saying? Like maybe the listing is proof. The proof is in the listing that this is function. as intended.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Yeah, so why are they getting rid of it? Because they're done, my question. They're tired of being insufferable probably. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, it sounds like... I want to go back to being stupid. This sucks.
Starting point is 00:58:12 This sucks. My thoughts are too fast. Shoot. I'll tell you, more updates as they become available. It will temporarily be a just-dumacro representation until some lucky person takes it home and increases their desires. No again. Again, the brush at his houses.
Starting point is 00:58:29 The precious is ours and it's staying right there. Hey, so I want to do a sincere moment here. We have been doing this, as Griffin said, for 15 years, started in 2010. This is our 15th drive. Our lives have been very much shaped and improved by being on Max Fund and from your support. and we have really worked to kind of live up to that, adding new things, trying to keep in mind what our supporters would like us to do and that kind of thing, because I think it's a very symbiotic relationship,
Starting point is 00:59:13 and like we've been doing more streams, we've been posting video clips from the shows, trying to be more active in everything that we do, because it means a lot to us, that it means a lot to you. And every year when we do Max Fund Drive, it's the thing that I think we all kind of, very booed by, I would say.
Starting point is 00:59:34 Now, Justin's clicked on the succubes. Stop it. Justin. Justin, I'm trying to be sincere. He's trying to be sincere, and you're ogling at the vampire sex spell. Get that out of my screen, juice. We don't need, we don't need them. Guys, look, we don't need them.
