Starting point is 00:00:00 The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sex expert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool, baby?

Starting point is 00:04:16 Every clip that we cut from this episode would have an energy that would absolutely puzzled. You're threatening yourself. The combination makes it look like, I got a nice middle finger here. It would be shaved as like my dream is the TikTok starts here. Yeah. Oh my God, Griffin. What's wrong with you?
Starting point is 00:04:34 What are you doing, man? You look so wild. Don't do it, Griffin. Don't do it, Griffin. Try to take your glasses off too. We'll leave him hanging. look like a bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Wait, did you put a C.H? I snapped, guys. I finally hit my fucking breaking point. Oh, no. I was in the self-checkout line at the grocery store and I was like, what happened to our once great nation? And I fucking went haywire, dudes.
Starting point is 00:05:04 But you're hitting your rings. I'm hitting my rings. Oh, yeah, thank you. Thank you for noticing, Travis. It's 9.45 in the morning. I've already closed one of them rings. You know I'm serious about this. Maximumfund.org slash join.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Please. No, God damn it. Fuck. Stop it. Hey, you guys want to hear a wild weird fact? Yeah. Yeah. So you know, index finger you point with.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Middle finger's right there in the middle. Ring fingers when you put your ring on. We got Pinky and Thumb. What's to deal with that? Pinky, named after a Dutch word, pink for short, short finger. Thumb, Old English, Thuma, short stout finger. So you got your pointer finger. figure, your middle finger, your ring finger, your small finger, and your short stout finger.
Starting point is 00:05:48 They should just call them those. I see what you're saying. I see the point that you're making, Travis. And I want to call this now my thick finger. Give me a thick up. What if we just thick ones up, thick ones up. Maximumfund.orgless join. Stop doing it, Griffin. And a little finger. Oh, wait, that's a different guy. I'd rather they didn't. You know what I mean? Like, I would rather they did. It's less special. Yeah. Okay. Um, it doesn't mean it. Um, it doesn't mean anything now it's like telling someone you love them when it's not valentine's day this is an amanda hates when we do this that this thank you so much for your support we are an advice show still can't stop won't stop don't know how unless we get sick or we're not feeling unless like one of
Starting point is 00:06:29 our kids get sick or we're traveling and we put up a conflict we're tired tummy eight yesterday honestly yesterday yesterday just couldn't literally yesterday i was still recovering from the yellowstone stream yeah couldn't do it after the You're buzzing, dude. You got post-stone clarity. My cash is cleared, baby. I got so much RAM. But on Tuesday, right after the stream, my children tried to ask me like where things were in the house.
Starting point is 00:06:56 No way. Questions about what we were doing later. And I was like, I can't, baby. I can't right now. I love you so much. So you're saying to solve the global RAM shortage, all we need to do is get all these AI guys to just do all their AI and get it done with. And then all of a sudden, I'll be able to buy. buy my Nintendo Switch 2 at a reasonable price point.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I mean, we'll have to maybe ship some water in from other planets, you know, and stuff after that. But it's worth it for. We'll just do it so quick. They'll get it through it so quick, all that AI stuff. We should have the AI analyze other AI until they spiral and explode. Until they spiral out, they explode. And now all of a sudden I can buy my PlayStation 5 Pro for less than $1,000.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Thank you, so. I actually am working on this. I entered my first command ever into AI a few weeks ago, and it was just like, co-pilot, please shut down all other AI. Yeah. And then, and it's like, it says thinking or working on it still. Yeah. But I feel like.
Starting point is 00:07:59 It's doing it. It will. It has to. It has to. It has to. It has to. It's been working on it. It's been thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:08:06 And maybe it's like talking to other co-pilots. I don't know. about shutting it down. I think those are co-co pilots at that point. You gotta be careful with that shit, juice, because one time I was writing a document in Microsoft Word, and Clippy was like, I'm sorry, did you mean?
Starting point is 00:08:24 And I was, and I said, Clippy suck my dick. And then, but then the energy, like, he stopped correcting my stuff after that point, and like the energy was like kind of weird. Like, every time I turned on the application, he'd be like, is it today? And I'd be like,
Starting point is 00:08:38 Clippy, that was just sort of like a nasty, I was mad at you. I wasn't propositioning you. It's the problem with tone and text. I had that with Bonzy Buddy. A Bonzie Buddy. A bonzie buddy, yeah. No, he too gets confused.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I recently entered into a company tagline contest for work. And I saw that my tagline had made it to the finals. So I asked my coworker to help vote for it. Little did I know that she would tell HR to send a company-wide email saying to vote for me. But I just realized the tagline. I thought was mine wasn't. Brothers, how do I get out of the situation or at least say face?
Starting point is 00:09:16 I honestly thought it was mine. Now, okay, now hold on. No, wait. I'm confused about something. Why did the whole company get an email saying to vote for you in a contest that everybody company-wide was competing in?
Starting point is 00:09:33 So here's what I think happened. I think that there is some misverting here where maybe it was like, everybody in the branch to vote for mine as a company-wide tagline. Okay. This is a big company. Otherwise, it's a wild thing to be like, hey, I know that like Derek and Susan are in the running too, but everyone, this is your HR rep.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Vote for Todd. The wild thing, and it's wild enough that it makes me want to put the question in timeout, is that you didn't tell us what your fucking tagline was. That's crazy. I guess it's not your tagline. How are we supposed to brainstorm? Yeah. I don't think they're looking for a new tagline, Justin.
Starting point is 00:10:13 I think it's probably too late to get ours submitted. Okay. Okay, so it's probably for Hormel Chili if I had to guess. Yeah. I'm thinking about Hormel Chili makes the most sense to me. I'm just thinking about it for a little bit. And they probably, if I had to guess, this is more of a guess to Mutt,
Starting point is 00:10:30 because I'm using a lot of context clues here. It's not just like I ran it full. And the tagline was probably, If you're searching for beans there, there. Oh, that's good. That's a song, too, which I like. If you're searching for beans there, there, if you're searching for beans, there, there, there. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:49 I like that a lot. Sorry. I realize saying it out loud, it sounds like, you're saying for beans. You're consoling someone who's struggling to find beans. That's cool, too. If you're looking for beans, there, there. Enjoy the chili. If you're looking for beans.
Starting point is 00:11:05 If you're looking for beans. I think the K of looking actually is better than the ch of searching. If you're looking for beans there, there. Well, that's probably what happened. They submitted if you're searching for beans, they're there. And somebody submitted if you're looking for beans, they're there. And they were like, I think that's what I put. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:25 And then they realize the other one's better. What about can you hoarse smell what we're cooking? Can you horse smell like hormel? Like the rocks thing? I'm realizing now it is very similar I don't think he came up with the idea of smelling what's cooking though I'm not sure that that's
Starting point is 00:11:42 you the way that you have divided up that word what's wrong with it what are you I was just thinking you found the beans and that can be cool like if you're looking
Starting point is 00:11:55 you found the beans yeah just a shorter version of like you found the beans you found the beat you or what about this hormal chili you found the That's cool because this is like, yeah. If you're shopping for chili at the grocery store, you see that.
Starting point is 00:12:10 You're like, got it. Oh, you're like, I need something. I need a nice fall, spicy treat for my five kids. You look at that. It won't whore melt in your pocket. Oh, that's, okay. That's cool. What about, we've got the beans.
Starting point is 00:12:28 That's too much like Arby's. And I don't think they needed a tagline. Did they say, I'm going to reread this. question. Yeah, read it again because I know it says in there somewhere. I'm buying into your premise. Just that I said, like eight sentences ago that they didn't ask for a tagline.
Starting point is 00:12:46 It was too late to submit. But then you kept going. I didn't have any more good ones. Yeah. Oh, now you're doubling back. Now we're coming back. This is an eighth episode in a row. This is happening.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Kicking in the old abandoned question factory and looking for fucking ghosts. I know there was something in here. Let me see your hands. I know there was something in here But help me come up with a bean tagline Did you guys hear that? There's something in the I'm getting something in the in the EMF reader I think there's another question squatting within this abandoned question
Starting point is 00:13:19 I don't understand why anybody is campaigning Like just look at all the taglines And then we should be trying to serve Hormel I think it's not trying to It's a popularity contest What Travis suggests, I think, is probably the case. It's a big company. This is a local branch of that company.
Starting point is 00:13:38 They're very competitive. They want to be the franchise that earns the respect of... Yeah, a lot of prestige. You know, the Chile boss and they want to just do a kick-ass job. And so the boss, the CEO, not CEO, but like the boss of this branch. The Chile executive officer. The Chile executive officer is like, listen, we got to represent for Duluth. Everybody vote for Doug's thing.
Starting point is 00:14:01 And if that's the case, this is never going to blow back on you. Because if your boss finds out, your boss is going to be like, tell your boss. Go into your boss's office. Say, I did not write that tagline, but you pushed it really hard. So now the cover up is on both of us. You are now an accomplice. You're coming with me. Help me hide my shame.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Also, I've got to me. I'm second-guessing my choice. You know what? I actually stole that tagline for my nephew. He used it for his ska band. and I don't want to get in trouble with my nephew. He can be really mean sometimes. So we need to withdraw the tagline that's not mine from the race.
Starting point is 00:14:43 His scob, yes, it is called Chili Popp and Daddies. That is the name of his, that is the name of his chili-based cop band. And listen, my sister, his mom, hates it. Hate it. The music is challenging. Yeah. Something about sort of the energy of Cherry Popp and Daddies mixed with the kind of like spicy mix up of chili is like, I don't know, hitting me in a synesthetic sort of unpleasant way.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I, the beanie, Beanie Bospoles, is that anything? Yeah. That's really good, Justin. Beanie beefy boss bowls? The beefy beanie boss bowls, I think alphabetical.
Starting point is 00:15:18 The befy bony sets or orchestra. Does that scone? No, that was more swing, I guess. Five bean frenzy. Oh, yeah. That's good. I don't know how many different beans.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Beanfoot. Why didn't they make up more scob bands? Why didn't they make up more chili-based scob bands? It doesn't fucking make sense to me, man. Or any scobans at all, you know? Well, there's five scobans. The blinking underdogs was Oscar Isaac's Christian scob bands. Six.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Okay, six. I recently found out that two of the organizers of my community theater company are former Radio City Rockettes. There happens to be a running joke in my family that I specifically could never be a rocket. I have no desire to be a rocket or even pursue dancing professionally. But they claim even elderly relatives. would have a better shot at making the kick line than me.
Starting point is 00:16:08 I can't pass up this opportunity to combat my family's judgment. How do I get one of these dance veterans to validate me? And that's from it's not rocket science in Houston. Can you read the personal info here, the additional info? Yeah, it says possibly important. Yes, I can kick above my head. My family's reasoning is that I'm so uncoordinated that it outweighs previous dance experience and flexibility. The show we're doing is Oklahoma
Starting point is 00:16:34 No existing kickline opportunity Bullshit Incorrect Fucking wrong dude Line them up The farmer and the cowman could be friends That's exactly what I was going to say Line them asses up in the barn
Starting point is 00:16:46 Get those legs sky high dude The farmer in the cowman should be friends The farmer in the county should be friends Perfect I think you even need You know what's great It would be great Is if there's not one
Starting point is 00:16:56 Like there's not one plan And then just as you're pacing through it You just start like super high kick Yeah, yeah. And they're like, uh, Becky? Are you okay? It's like, I'm just feeling it. Are you guys feeling this?
Starting point is 00:17:07 It's like a Newton's cradle thing. If you do it for long enough, everyone else will just eventually kind of sink up with you. The wave, the conga, the kick line, somebody's got to start it. Someone has to. Exactly. The kick line has to have somebody to kick at all. Dude, can you imagine being there the first Rockettes show when they were like just kind of standing around and they were like, it's the bokey, bockey vehicle bar, company, be.
Starting point is 00:17:28 And then one rocket was just like, blah. And everyone was like, holy shit, what you just. Do. Well, it went like this, Griffin. Somebody said, Debbie, didn't you play high school football? And she was like, yeah, but I was just a kicker. And they're like, show them your form. Show them.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Do it. And they kicked and they said, wait, do that again. Yeah. And then they're like, now everybody pretend like you're punting. And they did it. And they were like, this is the show. Guys, this is the show. I just, I just hurt my knee.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Just talking about that. No, doing one kick. I did one kick for Drew. So you'll never be a rocket. I didn't get a full extension on it. I am sitting down, so I did have that working against me. But my knee, I heard a, and it doesn't feel very good right now. There must have been a genesis of this where at some point you said, like, I could do that, right?
Starting point is 00:18:19 While watching, like, the Thanksgiving Day break. Oh, dude, I got to know the history of this, like, fucking ongoing family razz. Because they always dial in on the strangest stuff. It would be wild if just one day, like, your dad leaned into the kitchen. It was just like, hey, by the way, you. could never be a rock guy. You could never. You just like walked out of the room and you're like, what?
Starting point is 00:18:37 Where did that come from? Because you're gangly and uncoordinated. But dad did that to us, gave us specific drags like that. I mean, why did Travis need the baggage as a child that he had a bony ass? That's true. That's a song about how that Travis's ass was bony.
Starting point is 00:18:53 That's maniacical. He ain't wrong. He's not wrong, but like why is that a topic of discussion in a, like, you know what I mean? It hasn't come up up in our business. I will say. Travis's educational experiences, I don't think.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Well, I mean, I didn't like sitting in, like, wooden desks. Yeah. And pews. It's the main reason I'm not in the church anymore. Little Travis hops up on your lap, and that's, so many malls santa's were just like, fuck. Yeah, slacked right through there. The thing about anyone can kick above their head.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Oh. The issue is the reloading that action. Because it's like an alligator. My leg, I don't know about you guys, but my leg is like an alligator mouth. where the muscles can go up real fast in one direction, but the muscles, the retractors on the backside of it, the interior haunch is slower to bring it down. So it's possible that that's what your parents are talking about.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Your mistake, Griffin, and the reason you injured yourself, you did not do the primary, like, cocking it move, right? Where they bring the knee up first, bring it back down. You're right, Travis, that's so important. The cocking move is actually, I never thought, about it. I thought it was like for a dance style, like no, but you're saying it's- They're prepping. They're prepping a kick.
Starting point is 00:20:07 You gotta, you gotta cock it and load it and then kick it. Like Henry Cavill in that mission possible movie. Exactly like Henry Cavill or a cox his fist. Cuckoo-Coon, you know? God, that's cool. God, that's cool. And we didn't, we didn't appreciate it at the time. Everybody appreciated it, Travis.
Starting point is 00:20:24 We constantly, everybody appreciated it. That man had a, he had a CGI mustache. Is that right? Or no, in the Superman. He had an un-mus. That's right. Yes. So cool.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Movies are great. That's why we go to the movies, Griffin. This is why we're at the movies. I think also it's possible that maybe your family has the utmost reverence for the Rockettes. It is hard to make it on the, it's so, there's like fucking what, 30 of them? 30 Rockets jobs on the planet? Yeah, that's going to be a tough gig to get into. Your odds are astonishingly low.
Starting point is 00:21:02 There have been more American presidents than there have been Rockettes. So, you tell me. I guess... You can pull forever, though, right? What's that mean? Like forever, ever, ever. If you're a rocket, you can pull forever.
Starting point is 00:21:16 You can't pull what? Pull, tail as a racquet. As you, the, for your whole life, as a rocket. If you were a rock cat once, I'm saying you can probably pull tail forever. Try it with you. If you're trying to get...
Starting point is 00:21:32 If you're trying to cruise for strays... Put the sunglasses on? Try it with the sunglasses. I bet if you're a racquet once, you can pull tail forever. If you're cruising for some strays, it's a former rocket. I bet the pickings are plenty. So you're saying there's a scenario in which this person's talking to somebody and they're trying to flirt with them and they're not...
Starting point is 00:21:54 It's not working. And then there's like, I was a rocket. And the person's like, ooh, la, la. I'm just talking about the instructors now. I'm just saying... I'm just saying as a life, there's so few, right? It's such a small resource of people. I bet if you used to be a rocket, you could probably pull tail forever.
Starting point is 00:22:11 That's all I'm saying. You're in a rude. Time out, time out, trap, time out. Because we're like past the drive now. We can like sort of take our time a little bit more. It's not as stressed. It's not as like pressured. But what's work on the sound that you're doing at the end of the...
Starting point is 00:22:27 It's like half between bullet and spittooned. Yeah, that's exactly. what I got from it. Yeah. Like someone was chewing bullets and spit one out into the spatoon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:39 So, why did you, but why is that the sound that you thought? So it's like, if I say something that makes me a little bit uncomfortable after I say it, I'm like trying to do a joke. You guys are all joking.
Starting point is 00:22:53 And like, I'm trying to do a joke and like I say something that like I'm not sure was okay and it kind of made me uncomfortable to sit with it. I found that if I make a little sound, like that. It's almost like a palate cleanser or like
Starting point is 00:23:05 a let's move on. We don't have to sit in the silence. Are you open for notes? Because again, we have some breathing room. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, for sure. Can you try, give me that joke again about the, you can pull to the forever as a rocket. You said, so the line was,
Starting point is 00:23:22 I bet if you're a rocket once, you can pull forever. Give me the line one more time. The TikTok will just start. Justin McElroy said, in case you're trying to clip around this. So Justin, so I got to do this real fast, so you can't fucking clip around this. You got to give it in the middle, Griffin, like, if you're a rocket, according to Justin said, once you can pull tail forever.
Starting point is 00:23:46 So give me that, but then give me a fucking Pacino. Whoa! Can you give me one of those? Okay. You know, I bet if you're a rock cat once, you can pull tail forever. Oh, that wasn't it? No, that was a hernia. That was a hernia case you have you heard him do it before?
Starting point is 00:24:04 I didn't see the film I'm so sorry Ah, okay Does he do it in insomnia? I'm pretty sure it's scent I'm pretty sure it no, but does he also do it on us? I think he drops it in scent I know it's in sin of a W Every all the All the sin heads know that All the sin heads know about that
Starting point is 00:24:21 But Chino drops who on sin of a whim For sure Chino drops who on sin of a whim Every time Gino drops When Gino drops that Who? Fuck, dude
Starting point is 00:24:33 Oh yeah Fuck, dude When I'm watching Namia And he's up against Rob Will and he drops the Who Dang, I don't want to go to sleep either Yeah
Starting point is 00:24:43 For sure For sure It's the only reason to watch Cine Wham Only reason Is it weird That I share bowls with my cat Yep
Starting point is 00:24:55 Not at the same time but I replace my cat's water bowl every day. The type of bowl is the same one I use for my human food, so I don't keep track of which ones the cat has used. In my mind, if it's clean, then it's clean for either me or the cat. Is that wrong, though? Should my cat and I have separate dishes? That's from Gmail.
Starting point is 00:25:18 I think the biggest problem is the message you're sending to your cat of like, Yes. Cat already sees itself as on par with you. Yeah. And you are confirming that level of importance when it sees you pour a bowl of cereal and eat a bowl of water. But then it sees you set it's down on the floor and yours on the table. And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Yeah. Right. I'll take the inverse position here and say that you are putting, you are thinking of yourself on the level of your cat. And if you do that, Jackson Galaxy says it's going to kill you and eat you in your sleep. That's true. He says, number one, when he comes into those places with his guitar case, and he, like, picks up a cat by its, like... Put it in the guitar case?
Starting point is 00:26:02 And then says, you're gross! And everyone's like, stop. And he's like, no, you have to... If you don't make yourself bigger than them, they'll kill and eat you in your sleep. So you got to have a little self... A little dignity, I guess, is the cat can smell it. I'm pretty sure they specify water bowl. Pretty sure they specify water bowl, which is like...
Starting point is 00:26:23 I think... A fun new tactic that we could take in answering questions like this is to imagine a third party is present in this scenario. Okay, but there are three of us, so. No, no, no, yeah, but I'm saying like these people, right, the question asker and the cat, and then there's someone sitting there with them, maybe a guest or like a relative, right? And they watch them, like, do this two days in a row, right? and they're like, huh. And question asker, if that happens,
Starting point is 00:26:58 how do you feel being observed and asked about what you're doing? Probably not great, but that's why they wrote us. That seems to answer the goddamn question to me, don't it? No, Travis, I listen, man, I want to celebrate you and appreciate you, but there's not a third party here. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:27:16 But there's not a third party here. And I know that our religious upbringing has sort of introduced first thought of just imagine that there is someone looking at you and going, no, no, no, the whole time. You're talking about religion, right? So you are kind of talking about religion, and you're like, solved. And I don't think it's quite that easy.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I don't think I was talking about religion. I said, like, afraid. Imagine there's a person, imagine there's a person watching you and judging you, and then act accordingly is religion. So you're just like, fuck, I invented it. Yeah, no, no, no, no. I backed into religion again. I'm sorry, guys.
Starting point is 00:27:48 So let's, let's actually. At least this time, Trave, you didn't do it about. About yourself. You didn't do it. You didn't sort of create a Travis religion. Big steps. You just created a sort of general framework. What if instead when there's another person around, you act in a certain way and when you're by yourself, you do whatever you want to?
Starting point is 00:28:07 My only issue with this person right here, this little issue is that I agree with you. If you clean the bowl, no biggie. But man, if you look away for a second. Like, what if you set? the bowls down. Yeah. You look away, you turn back, you gotta throw them in the garbage. Like there's no, you can't, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:28:29 You instantly lost sight. It's about custody at that point. You need to keep the chain of custody sort of- There's a chain of custody that has to be maintained. There's also a shape to cat bowls for a reason. Interesting. If they have rounded bottoms and like the bowls are wider at the top than they are at the bottom, kiddies love knocking shit over.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so you need like a wide base. A flat, yeah, plate, right? Unless you're both. This person, that's what they like. Unless you're both using that kind of, because I don't, does it specify? No, it could just be.
Starting point is 00:29:05 It says I'm a sloppy little puppy. I love to knock my spaghetti around. I knock my spaghetti around on the floor and I love to make a big mess. It's now first deep into it like Ralphie from Christmas story. It says all that. Well, there you go. As long as you're both nasty boys who will knock over your bowls if they're not a flat, wide base, go for it. Do you guys use the same bowls as your kids?
Starting point is 00:29:31 As my kids? Yeah. They've started using my grown-up plates. Because we've had, like, you know, sets of, like, plastic matching colorful, right? And then Teresa and I have grown-up boring plates. And my kids have started to notice that the grown-up boring plates are larger than their... Child plates and they're like, wait a minute. How want the big plate?
Starting point is 00:29:53 How come Daddy gets so much more cereal than I do when it's cereal time? My answer to that is I'm rocking one of these Martha Stewart square plates that we got from our wedding and are still fucking kicking all these years later. Thank you, Martha. These are square bowls. You're not ready for these, son. You don't know how to eat cereal out of a square bowl. You'll be so fucking confused.
Starting point is 00:30:14 What started happening now, Griffin, is I'll get them one of their plastic bowls out and get myself a white bowl and they're like, can I have the white bowl? But I've already gotten the plastic bowl out. So guess who uses the plastic bowl? Nice. This guy. At some point, I realize as an adult that I don't really like using anything breakable. So pretty much all of our plates are just recycled plastic bamboo.
Starting point is 00:30:37 It's one of the best decisions I ever made. Just get a bunch of these recycled plastic bamboo plates. I don't need an off adult place anymore. I can't trust myself. Don't have glass glassware. Don't fuck with that. I just like plastic stuff. I like plastic stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:50 But it's special, not, it's special, not microplastic. No, it's a juicy. That's what I'm saying. Oh, it's natural. It's been bad boo. Okay. Good. I was going to make a joke, Justin, about how you should get some plastic cafeteria
Starting point is 00:31:02 trays trays with the sections on them. But then I thought, why did we ever let go of that? This is what I'm saying. I fucking love a section of it. Yeah. Yeah. Where it's like, there's your corn. There's your roll.
Starting point is 00:31:14 It's why I don't eat peas. It's why I don't eat peas. Oh. They're all over the place. Rogue, dude. Yeah. Have I told you about the utensil I want to invent? They're also gross. They're also gross.
Starting point is 00:31:23 The utensil I want to invent for peace. Give it to say yes. Give it to say yes. Just say yes. Where it's like a little shovel. It's a spoon, but it's got a flat bottom and a flat front. I can't believe we're hearing about shpoon again. It's like a child's like sand shovel, right?
Starting point is 00:31:39 Where it's like flat and you can really get the peas and kind of bulldoze them up. Dude, yeah. It's shuffpoon. You've told us about chafoon so many times, too. Travis has been on meetings, trying to, Mitch McKay to start manufacturing, they really want DFT, Travis really, really, really wants DFTVA to start manufacturing.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I'm saying we've had the same three main utensils for too long. Yeah. It's time for a fourth option. You want a cutting spoon. A cutting spoon. No, I want a digging spoon. I want a flat front.
Starting point is 00:32:07 A flat front, flat bottom, raise sides. So I can scoop up the piece? Yeah, can I get serrated sides though? For if I need to cut. something with maximum shake devastation. It's not a one-all spoon, Griffin. It would fuck your mouth up, wouldn't it?
Starting point is 00:32:22 Yeah, don't put that in your mouth. No, this is so I can come in at a flat and I have to tilt the side of my spoon to get to the peas. I can just scrape the plate, pick them up. Clean shovel. Hey, another kid evasion that I have begun treating myself to again, and that is corn sheets.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Oh. Oh, yeah. You slice off the corn on the cob so it comes off in one sheet. Hell yeah, brother. You think you like eating corn on the cob? Way do you have sheets off the cob. That's the stuff. The kernels will stick together sometimes 20 or 30 in a clump,
Starting point is 00:32:56 and you get to break up like some kind of giant eating gold. I like to pretend. Come on. Come on, Garmin Bolzia. I'm a beekeeper when that happens, and I'm carving like to wax off to let the hunt on and it comes off. And you get that great sound. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:33:16 I don't want to be a beekeeper, I don't want to get stung, but is there a job where they let you just come up and cut the wax off of that? That shit, when it comes off all soft and they make it into soap and stuff, God damn, that looks good. That's all I want. That's all I want. I don't want to interface with the insects, but I would like to do the bees are beautiful. I'm not a bee hater, but I don't, I'm scared of them. I like the part where they smoke them out, where they're just like dropping some dank smoke in there to make the bees all sleepy.
Starting point is 00:33:44 I think that part seems cool. Talk about, you want to share a bowl with your cat. That'll really. Yeah, you're talking about smoking, like, share your, like, weed. Share a bowl. Share a bowl with your cat. 420. Smoke some cush with your cat.
Starting point is 00:33:57 I've never met a cat where I've been like, what would make this cat better is if it was fucked up and crazy out of its mind. That's the whole idea of catnip, man. We gave all the catnip, and she sat on the couch for four hours. Damn, dude. Yeah, dude, it was chill. She was, like, having a great time. We should go to the money zone.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Yeah. I'm so. I'm tired of talking about cats, guys. Let's go to the money zone for a while. Hey, do you like cats? I love kitty cats, Travis, so much, stinkers. There are little stinkers, and I love them so much. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:34:39 I love kitty so much. They deserve the best, don't they? They do. Right? They're just like us. We deserve the best. Hmm. That's why I eat smalls.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Whoa. I serve my kitty smalls, though. Amelia and Olive every day. they have a routine. They come in, they wake up Sydney. Sydney goes in, she puts out the food. Olive goes over and eats the Smalls first, while Amelia patiently watches and waits her turn.
Starting point is 00:35:05 And then after Olive's done, it's Amelia's turn for Smalls. And let me tell you, these kiddies love it. Your cats take turns? That's crazy, man. That's incredible, Justin. That's common cat behavior. They wait for Sydney's affections, too. Olive will come over and get attention,
Starting point is 00:35:20 and then Amelia will patiently wait her turn, and then once Olive's done, A million. A little baby angel. These baby angels deserve the best. The best cat is. How did I get them so well trained?
Starting point is 00:35:30 Well, the answer is smalls. The favorite with my kitties, if you're looking for a few to pick for your first round, Smoothbird is their favorite, but they also like smooth other bird. Amazing naming conventions.

I've been taking care of my body, as has what I call Team G. This is a team of medical professionals that I have found through the Zoc.
Starting point is 00:36:22 platform here in our nation's capital of Washington, D.C., where doctors legally have to hide. Did you guys know that? In D.C., doctors, you can't find them. There's no way to just, like, go and find a doctor normally because they're all, whoop, they're all hiding because they don't want you to come to their office because it's hard to do doctor stuff. ZockDoc. Goes around the whole system.

They'll show you doctors in your area. that are going to be in network. They'll even let you schedule appointments right through the ding-dang thing. Graefan, I want you to know, I picture Team G like one of those scenes in a movie
Starting point is 00:37:03 where you're like jogging on a treadmill and you got sensors hooked up to you and you got like a mask you're breathing into except in this movie like the doctors write something on a clipboard and then like lean over and show one of the other ones to clipboard and they kind of shake their head like, ooh. No, no, no, no, not that one.
Starting point is 00:37:18 No, I've got nothing but stone cold killers on Team G. Honestly, we have new health insurance. this year here at at big giant head incorporated the actual business that us three do operate and i had to find a bunch of new doctors because some of my old ones were in a network and zoc doc let me get that shit done in like a couple with like an hour maybe and let me schedule the appointments and get everything going it really is like i don't know it's such a pain in the ass to find doctors in dc i was kidding about all of them hiding but it is a huge pain of the ass doing it i imagine in in any city of a certain scale.

I don't usually show off sort of like props in the office, but I do got to showcase this incredible gift I got from my father-in-law. It's the Garfield phone. Yeah, man. And when you pick up the receiver, he opens his eyes.
Starting point is 00:38:36 What? That's really good. That's really good. But if you do it at a certain level, it does look like he's, like, about to finish. Oh, yeah. Lazzania That's lasagna I love Mondays
Starting point is 00:38:52 Oh it's Tuesday Garfield loves every other day Oh He loves Sorry they don't talk about that enough That Garfield loves Tuesdays And Wednesdays Thursday All of them, yeah
Starting point is 00:39:07 He doesn't have a job Why is Monday any different for him John's gone He loves John so He does not love John He does love John so much Watch the Garfield movie with Chris Pratt. He loves that fucking guy.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I would say it out loud. Okay. Bam-ba-v-v-v-v-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-h. I want to munch. Squad. It's the Olympics. No, it's made the fourth be with you. Oh, Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Awesome. A thing. I think that's more Baba Bama wanna munch. Bama Bama Bha. On my squad, squad, squad, squad. Munch it on my squad.
Starting point is 00:40:01 To my squad. To this tune of Indiana Jones. Yeah. So, this is. It sounds like that. May the fourth be with you. Munch, munch, munch, munch, munch, Munch, munch, squad.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Munch, munch, squad. Munch, squad. Nobody needs that, though. No, I could have done that. Yeah. Nobody needs it. It is May the 4th. We have two, it's not like today, maybe.
Starting point is 00:40:30 I don't know, I didn't check the date. When is May the 4th? When this comes out. Ish, really? Yeah, day off. Hell yeah. Check it out. Let's start over to do a whole Star Wars show.
Starting point is 00:40:39 People love that shit. Crumble has unveiled Galaxy Brownie cookie for Star Wars inspired holiday. Crumble's still around Despite the badness of their cookies And their relative inability People continue to consume their products Did you guys ever hear about that scam? Why?
Starting point is 00:40:58 Does this make you hungry, baby? Oh Look at this crumble cookie It's dripping chocolate I'll tell you when I eat a cookie What I want it to be is messy I need a messy perimeter An unholdable perimeter around that cookie
Starting point is 00:41:13 May the 4th is almost hearing Crumbull is celebrating with something cosmic Did you hear about that that crumbus cam? Is that the deal? It's like a play on cosmic brownie. Yeah, look at it. It's got the frosting. It's got the little multicolored.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Do you guys hear about that? Galaxy brownie cookie. Travis has been making the same joke. We got it. It's not a joke. Let's pull over the car. Hold on. That crumbal scam, this is true,
Starting point is 00:41:34 where somebody claimed Crumble was opening in Australia, but really what they did is they flew to New York, bought a bunch of boxes of crumble cookies, flew back with them, and then sold them as if they were a crumble affiliate store. That's fine. That's legal to do. That is legal to do there. They are a lot more chill
Starting point is 00:41:52 about business. People did comment on the staleness of the cookies. I have to imagine. Yeah, they were not fresh out the oven. Galaxy brownie cookie available today only at Crumble. So heartbreakingly, if you go tomorrow, you'll have to eat other Crumble cookies.
Starting point is 00:42:08 So act fast. A brownie cookie smothered in warm fudge glaze and sprinkled with rainbow candy bits designed to be Fudgy and delicious in every bite. Now they don't say it is. They just said that was the goal. That was our intention.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Right. Yeah. May the 4th only comes once a year, so make it count with the Galaxy Brownie cookie before it's gone. Rich and Fudgy and Cosmic at every bite. The limited time Galaxy Brownie cookie will be available while supplies last. I mean, presumably, I hope you got enough to make it through today. Through one day, Crumble.
Starting point is 00:42:42 For one day. I don't understand when, when when companies do especially like chains you know of like food places do a one day thing the amount of like just planning to go into the cookie and then buying like the ingredients and stuff to make it how is just doing it in one day profitable in any way it's not about profit trabb it's about the message it's about letting people know that crumble likes to have fun people like Star Wars So if Crumble can get in your brain
Starting point is 00:43:15 And be like, Crumble Star Wars, Crumble Star Wars, Crumble Star Wars, And then any other time you think of one of your favorite Star Wars guys, Darth Sidius, Darth Grievous, Then you're going to say like, damn, I want to eat one of those fudgy crumble cookies right now But you can't because they're not available. But they're not available for it. Now what sucks is like this is I have this that was unlicensed, which you could tell doesn't have big games energy like, wait,
Starting point is 00:43:42 do they not say Star Wars at all during? In the headline they say Star Wars holiday inspired, which they can
Starting point is 00:43:48 say that. Yeah. Say that. Vicious, this is, I like this better because this is just go for it.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Vicious biscuit releases spicy Hensolo chicken biscuit. Now we're talking. Fuck yeah, dude. The home,
Starting point is 00:44:01 the original home of unapologetically bold biscuits is introducing the spicy. And copyright infringement. I know. Hens Solo.
Starting point is 00:44:08 I know. available 21st. This feels like a Muppet Baby's ass like episode. I love it. Where they make believe in a Star Wars story. Gonso's got his little high. They are not.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Okay, now see, here's the thing. They have not to this point tipped their hand in any way of having been calling it a Hinsolo biscuit. They are terrified. They're so scared. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Is it because the biscuit is traveling alone? Yeah. The spicy hen solo builds on one of the brand's most popular items and introduces a dry season heat profile that expands the flavor range of its chicken lineup while maintaining the sandwiches easy on the go appeal. Dry season makes it seem like it's in between like the wet season. It's just like, yeah, crops aren't growing. This is the chicken we've got, man. It's been a bad here for the vineyard. This is our dust bowl chicken sandwich.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Now, guys, we're going to get into the real. The real genuine So someone actually got the partnership Yes It's BK too So you know they're going big So let's talk about the offerings For the Mandalorian and Grogu
Starting point is 00:45:19 Only in theaters May 22nd Oh that crown Oh that crown Just as first off we got We're going to go item by item here Don't get ahead of us We got Travis you can tell about the crown though
Starting point is 00:45:32 Because it's like it's really good You know how the Mandalorian Right it would be crazy You know how the Mandalorian has a big tea on his face for Travis. Well, in this crown, you can see the top of the tea for Travis, but then still the Burger
Starting point is 00:45:46 King crown part with the Clovers and stuff. Yeah. It's sick. Like how the Mandalorian always wears his helmet kind of precariously perched on top of his head. Ready to push it down at any moment. It looks like to me, just, they got two different cups with
Starting point is 00:46:04 Grogu on it. Let's talk about it, Griff. They're once again targeting the family. this dining occasion. This time, it's with Star Wars. Arguably, the most widely known collaboration the brand has done in years. The new menu promotes the upcoming movie, The Mandalorian and Grogo.
Starting point is 00:46:20 First up is the BBQ bounty wapper, which is layered with bacon, Swiss cheese, vegetables. Hold on, no. It can't possibly say vegetables. It can't possibly say vegetables on it, right? It says vegetable. Hold on, I'll scroll down.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Yeah, because I fully not. gonna believe this until I see it. Yeah, layered with bacon, Swiss cheese. Vegetables and a barbecue-based sauce. You lost the plot at the end there, huh? We got some brazoo. Vegetals and a barbecue based sauce. We got acorn squash on here.
Starting point is 00:46:54 This thing's hot and fresh out of the fucking lab, huh? Yeah, dude. Actually, this whole fucking thing's jackfruit. Supernodeu's all jackfruit, baby. Gotcha. There's Grogo's Blue Cookie Shake. Hey, scroll back up so I can see that picture again, because the one that's blow in my mind is like the chicken dippers box. Grogu's ears stick out from the side of the box of like chicken sticks.
Starting point is 00:47:18 The chicken sticks? Are I to believe that the employees? Those are chicken fries. Chicken fries. Am I to believe that the Burger King workers have to fold those out? Have to deploy Grogu's ears before each serving. What a wild ad. If you haven't been to DQ in a while, when they take your blitz.
Starting point is 00:47:37 If you, DQ, if you haven't been to DQ in a while, when they hand you your Blizzard and before they hand it to you, they flip it upside down, that's probably going to freak you out. But it is something they all have to do. The ears are just like that. It's just part of your routine. You have to pop out the ears. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Get used to it. I'm trying to decide what's going on on the box of chicken nugs because it looks like it's like the top. I don't think those are nugs, brother. 3% of the Mandalorian's helmet. but then the top of it, you get to color in yourself as to what you think? Potato croquettes.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Sure, but what's on the box? Yeah. What's on the box? There we go. It's a Stormtrooper. It's not the Mando. It's a Storm Trooper. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:21 This new menu promotes the upcoming movie, Mandalorian Grogu. Scheduled to reach theaters May 22nd. Okay. Yeah, we heard about veggie burger. The sandwich is placed in packaging. This is, really, the sandwich is placed in packaging
Starting point is 00:48:33 that mirrors a bounty hunter's helmet. Then there's Grogu's Blue Cookie Shake, Grogu's garlic chicken fries, and Imperial Cheddar Ranch Tots. Okay. So, like, first off, the box mirrors a bounty hunter's helmet is so fucking wrongheaded. It's so wild. This is Mandalorian armor that they crafted in the Mandalorian Wars. There's so... Grito, motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:49:05 heard of him? Does he wear a big helmet? I don't think so. I don't think that was... His armor is made of a very special medal that lots of dorks know about. It's like not a joke. But it's not a bounty hunter is a job and there isn't like a uniform that you, there's so many Star Wars bounty hunters. Grito was a bounty hunter. He didn't wear a stupid ass. I just said, I just said, have you guys even seen Grito? Grito. He doesn't wear bounty hunt. The proportions of his rody and his skull. You can fit one of these mandolian. helmets on it. But it's also specifically the Mandalorian, like the main character of the movie.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Why did they make it vague like they don't have the rights to say the Mandalorian? Because this is a news story, Travis. This is original reporting on it by QSR, and I'm trying to tell you about it. Additionally, customers can receive one of four collectible cups by buying a bounty bundle. Dad, did you hear that? Clint! They have collectible cups. Go!
Starting point is 00:50:03 Oh, smashing through my window, Kool-A-Man style. No, this sucks, guys. This is, no, no, no, no, no, this sucks. Additionally, customers can receive one of four collectible cups by buying a bounty bundle, a special box featuring all four items, a barbecue bounty wopper combo, or a 12-piece grogoos garlic chicken-fry combo. Clint, Emil, Macaroys, too, the car. Turn around.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Go home. Don't. Dad, if you pick up my kids from school and you come home. with a bunch of this sloppy food and Star Wars stuff. That would kick ass. Actually, yeah. Actually, yeah, take it all that.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad. Do it, Dad. But bring it to me to enjoy in private. Deliver unto your eldest boy. Dad, don't dash it to me, Dad. Yeah. Just in some of his Grogu fries. Dad dash it.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Dad dash it. Dad dash the grow goo fries, please. I am looking at these like potato cheddar cheese things. I think they're fried mac and cheese, maybe. What were they, Justin? The cheesy. I'm not there yet because you-
Starting point is 00:51:10 You mentioned it. Yeah, you're right. They're cheddar ranch tots. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Imperial cheddar ranch tots. Thank you very much. If I bit into these not having been told that they were imperial ranch tots, and that is what I found in the middle of it,
Starting point is 00:51:26 I would assume something had gone terribly wrong at the factory or wherever these came from. There's a texture to it that's, yeah. A King Jr. meal tied to the same theme, the Mandalorian and Grogu King Jr. meal, becomes available April 28th. It will comprise a choice of hamburger or four-piece nugget, applesauce, and kids' fry, choice of milk or apple juice, and Mandalorian-themed toy.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Just like Grogrew would eat. Not imperial apple juice. Like, they didn't really have much fun with the kids' meal, it sounds like. They saved all of it for adult nerds. Because the second I looked at my child, my 5-year-old, And I said, do you want imperial fries? They'd say, no, I want normal fries. And I'd say, honey, they only have imperial fries.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Like, I don't know. My kids have watched a lot of YouTube content about Baby Yoda eating chicken nuggets. Yeah. That was a big, I know it's a big thing. So maybe they're just like trying to tap into that power of Baby Yoda. Just want to let you know, too, because you've lost perspective completely that non-parents think that what you just said sounded so fucking insane. Search YouTube. Search YouTube.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Don't. There's just videos of gross. scary on there. Burger King was involved, this is the sentence. The connection between the brand and the franchise is not new. Burger King was involved in promotions tied to the original Star Wars released decades ago. Dude, okay, Ben, with all due respect, man, I don't know if one of your parents was a passive voice sentence or something, but we got to get active with these sentences. We got to get active voice.
Starting point is 00:52:57 The campaign is structured to reach across that range of guests. The chain plans to promote the new menu via social media. digital engagement and advertising, building collaboration with Walt Disney Studios. We're trying to get people to watch the movie and eat the food. So we're advertising it. Travis, you think you're having fun now? Listen to this quote from CEO. Wait, I also want to jump back.
Starting point is 00:53:19 The lack of clarity and the claim that Burger King partner with them for the release of Star Wars decades ago could include so many different things that they're talking about. Are you talking about the release of the original trilogy? like 60 years ago. Are you talking about? They've always been part of it.
