My Brother, My Brother And Me - MBMBaM 820: More Baubles!

Episode Date: June 29, 2026

In a way, this podcast is just part of a larger field study that we are doing with our bodies. It's an in-depth in-person study of really important subjects like getting free donuts, Weberoni, jokes about numbers, and how they filmed the very real Shrek documentary.

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 into a precious friendship. It feels love. Hello, everybody. Welcome to my brother.

my brother and me. An advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. What out Trave Nation. It's me. Your middle of us brother, Travis, Big Dog, Wolf, Woo, Vroom, Vroom, the Heater, award winning, award having,

received it in the mail, update, only like six months later. Got it. Macalroy. That is a beautiful trophy. Can you beauty blog that shit? Yeah, it's beautiful.

It really shows fingerprints. We got that eye heart radio. Really shows finger. That's why Travis can't touch it to send it to us because the fingerprinting would be too much of an issue in shipping. You can't have that in your background looking like a grubby kid. I think it might be scuffed. No, that's a permanent scuff right there across the middle. That's how you know it's special.

I just want to say to me, I wish we could win more awards because the idea of Travis's shot getting more and more filled with awards as ours remains exactly status. I think is so appealing to me. They're just starting to applaud it. We should start sending Travis every award we get, whether it's related to the podcast or not. My number one dad ribbon that my son may mean.

What was the last award you got? What was the last actual award? When I feel like I just got them all the time when I was a kid. I didn't appreciate it. Plaques meant nothing to me as a child. I got plaques monthly as a kid, right? I have a stack of plaques, boxes of plaques.

If I got a plaque now, as an adult, I would flip. Don't even start on trophies. If I want to go ahead. That's all you would hear about for the next two and a half years. Amanda sent us a medal once after a particularly rough episode of Macquarie Family Clubhouse. And I was so excited. A medal?

Yeah. For me? Sarah and Amanda said me, I got a hot dog statue one time when I beat a trial by Fieri. I've got, but then, but yeah, I guess you're right, Justin. To come back to the point you're making, we're not. very competitively successful and I don't get a lot of price. I display the rap gift from the movie I was cut from. Yeah.

That's where I'm at on the, on the Holly Weird spectrum. Yeah. But this is my brother, my brother, me, Trav. I wanted to say happy birthday, America and happy, and the gift that we all got, that, like, Shrek didn't have time to prepare much, but for America's birthday for the 250th, he had, he did have one gift. And it is a new trailer that Griffin, I'm hearing you have not. I've not watched, yeah.

I've been saving it sort of like the guy in Lost. It's like the last thing I want to, if like the Meteor is coming, it's like now I can watch the Shrek 5 trailer in my last moments with my family. So here's what I would like to try because I've never, I think this would be fun. You know how like there are audio description tracks available for like viewers that might might not. need that assistance. Or like if you're touring a museum describing a great work of art. Right. Exactly.

Griff, I was wondering, could you watch the trailer and then just like as you're watching, just describe the whole thing as you're watching it? Just like stream of, like just not even stream of conscious because you're watching a trailer. So just like not thinking about it. Just like saying what you're seeing, you're, you are the audio description. Because like this is an audio medium and I can't think of how else to translate the trailer into this podcast.

And I feel like, well, I mean, you could screen share it. We have the technology to screen share it. I don't want to watch it with you. I just want to listen to you watch it. Okay. Well. You know what I mean? Like, I guess we could watch it at the same time as you do, but I'd much rather hear your sort of twist.

And I just kind of freestyle jazz it. Not freestyle. Say what you see on the screen. Say what I see on screen. Describe the whole trailer as you watch it. Well, okay, here you go. Shrek music, book. Book has an onion.

I see Shrek. I see Donkey. They are cartoons. And now the book is turned. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Can we start over? Yeah, but I mean you do I think this is really good.

No, this is all great. This is exactly what I wanted. The only thing I didn't get is like a really hard like I need a sink point for people because they're going to want to tie this together. And I think we might be able to release this on our channel's fair use. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If we have that. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I need to say more opinions then. It's a 121. It's a 121 trailer. Yeah. And so like we're just going to do three, two, one play. And then we can like, so people can watch it.

Or they don't need to watch it because I'm going to describe everything that happens. There we go. So I don't want them to watch it at the same time as me. But I would like you did. I like to watch it along. Yeah. You just said you didn't. You literally just said you didn't.

Not all together. I changed my mind. We're going to watch it together separately. Can the lady change your mind? Okay. So now are you going to screen share it? No, you need to come to say. I'm just watching it.

Myself, just like the listeners will be. This is so obduce. 81 seconds of pleasure. 81 seconds of pleasure. Get ready to bust in. Three, two, one. Play. That's that Shrek music I love.

We're looking at an onion book, and it opens, and it's got a story about Shrek. I see Shrek and Donkey. I see Donkey. I see a castle and Donkey and Shrek. And a big fucking onion. Donkeys, they look so realistic. I see Donkey. donkey he's doing he just said but donka donkin eddie murphy's voice shrek and donkeys there shrek's kids

are old now they're riding on a broom shrek looks great oh yeah they just smack ginger red man's ass he's got two big gum drops his butt cheeks did they give shrek wrinkles they gave him wrinkles because he's a great olaf joke that's good shreck's back donkey's back he said hell so they're going to cuss in this Shrek movie. Fuck yeah, dude. Fuck yeah, dude. Fuck yeah, dude. Yes, they put Shrek in jail.

Good luck with that. No jail can hold Shrek in his big kids. I thought Shrek had three kids, but I only see two kids here. Do one of the kids die in the last movie? Donkey's singing. It's so funny. They look so good.

All-Star! Now they're playing All-Star. Zendaya's in it. They got Zendaya's in it. Zendaya in it. Well, they had to put Sondaya in it. Yeah. Happy birthday, George Washington.

Happy birthday, George. You did it. A Shrexcellent birthday to you, George. A most Shrexelent birthday to America and George. They sure did out a lot of shadows and textures, didn't they? Deeper than ever before. You mentioned that the internet was upset with them, I guess, the density of these turbo textures that they've put on Shrek's flesh.

Travis, you pointed out the wrinkles in that trailer. That's the kind of definition you don't get with the smooth, glossy Shrek of the 2000s era. I like it. I like a remaster. I like a revamp. I don't love the ballooning cost of production in Hollywood. I'm worried about Shrek.

They actually shot this on location. Okay. In his swamp. In the swamp and far, far away. I'm just worried about... I'm worried about the pressure that's going to be on Shrek because this movie looks so expensive. Zendaya does not do shit for less than seven figures. And so I'm worried that the box office demands on Trek will be too high.

And I want to know what I can do to, I want to be of service to Shrek. I'm worried about the family blogger aspect of it where, you know, they're making content with their kids now. Okay. And like that can cause a lot of issues, you know. and the family dynamics. Can we be serious now? Because this thing, this role play you're doing

that Shrek is real and that this is a filmed movie is great and all. I'm being vulnerable and expressing my emotions that I'm scared for Shrek and how much is going to be asked of him in this motion picture.

And I feel you don't, you don't share those feelings. Do you not want to see, I worry that sometimes that just because I didn't see the third and fourth Shrek movies, I don't want to see the fifth one. And that is something that does concern me about the fifth movie is, do I maybe not want to see it?

Because I did not want to see the third or four films. What's that mean for you? What's that mean for us? I'm so blurry right now. I keep moving around so much because I'm so excited about goddamn Shret. Justin, I'm pretty confident that they probably baked that in to the fifth one, knowing that. Like, they can look at the numbers, right? I can't imagine three and four did numbers beyond one and two.

That's what I'm saying. Right, but like Shrek forever after came out in 2010. That's before any of us had kids, right? So this is the first Shrek that we're going to have to reckon with as parents. Like we have to decide what this means for our family. So do we let Shrek in our house? Do we have a Shrek forward household? You mean Shrek pure, right?

Because Puss and Boots where he fights the Grim Reaper who's a wolf is absolutely. Absolutely cinema. Absolutely the best shit ever. Can this be a sequel to that? Did they ever do that where they make a sequel to the mainline thing of the much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much better spitoff thing? That would be incredible. I mean, the pressure's on Mike, too, because if this fucking tanks like three and four, what's that mean for Austin? What's that mean for what's that mean for the love guru?

Let's bring this up. Yes, thank you, Justin. Yes. Quick. This is from yesterday. This is breaking. Wait. This is breaking.

This is not, don't get too, don't get too high feet, but like, do, do check it. Okay. There is a Verizon ad. Yes. Right. I've gotten it as many times. I've seen the Verizon ad, maybe bust up so hard. But here is the Insta quote.

Had a delightfully evil time getting this band back together. We'll have to do it again soon. We'll have to do it again soon, Michael. Awesome. Will we? Will we do it again? Because even if, because I'll tell you what, guys, even if there's not currently a plan for AP4,

that is in Hollywood lingo. That is very clearly. Mike Myers, someone has a plan for it. Just hiking up the skirt a little bit. A little bit. Hey, big boy. Yeah.

I think Austin may still be in here. There may be an AP4 script, me and the gang. I just like them going. check my gold ride. I like them going out to fucking Outback Steakhouse after wrapping this Verizon commercial featuring Dr. Evil and co. And being like, you know what, guys, that felt good.

Yeah. That felt good. Stepping into that bald man again. I think we still got it. I think we got it, gang. This is the show. This is a show. It's throwing me off how much Roblo.

I can't tell if number two there is Roblo. Or the guy that played him originally and then Roblo played the younger version. God, yeah. Roblo did age into a perfect, oh, God, who was that? Robert Forrester? Is that who is? It's just perfect casting. It's really throwing me.

Yeah, he's played, yeah. Okay, so he's young number two according to a quick Google search. Robert Wagner, excuse me. Robert Wagner. He looks like. He looks a lot like Robert Wagner. He does. It's kind of uncanny.

Wow, that is uncanny. And also how fucked is it that Rob Lowe is playing young anyone? Rob Lowe is like a... No, it's not young. It was like normal number two was Roblo. Robert Wagner was cast as old number two in relation to that. Okay. Because it was in the future.

You're right, yes. Let me start back at the beginning. Austin Powers was a British secret intelligence agent that was frozen back in the 1960s. Whoa. Because he was captured by Dr. Evil. Yeah, I don't want. I'm sorry, Justin. It was because Dr. Evil cryogenically froze himself and launched himself into space to return.

And they knew they would need Austin Powers to fight him when they came back. So they cryogenically froze him so that he would be there when Dr. Evil returned. Mike, we're ready. Mike, we're so ready. We're chomping at the bit. Please go see Shrek. Literally for us. We are chomping at the bit.

Please. Oh, yeah. The bit. The bit is so chewy. We're extracting every ounce of mojo from this bit as we possibly can't. This is an advice show. We take your questions and we turn them out and we likened into wisdom. Here's the first one.

You've got to get this big picture of middle-aged Seth Green off my monitor. No matter how old that man gets, I will always see him just offer me some pizza and watching some cool VHS tapes at his house and smoking weed. I would like to do that with Seth Green. I'll always think of him from idle hands, but that's just me. Idol hands is a great one. I'm leather face. We'll always pop up in my head when I see. Man, idol hands.

What a pop, man. It's good. Oz? Oz. Oz. Oz. Oz. Without a paddle?

Dax? The gang? The other guy in there? Is it dang cook? It's not they cook. Some times I like to visit a local donut shop after work for a sweet treat. I typically buy a couple of donuts or cronuts before walking home.

It's Matthew Lillard. And without a paddle, it's Matthew Lillard. Thank you. I feel bad if we didn't. A friend of the show, Matthew Ler. Myrne. Myr. My next thought was Breck and Meyer, and I knew I was in Breckenmeier. Love to hang with Breckin. Because it's almost time for this.

I don't know why. I don't know if I do or not. If he called, I'd like definitely talk to Breckinleardt. The male loneliness epidemic has become severe enough that now, I think all three of us when we just hear of a dude we remember, we were like, I bet that's a, Dane Cook, I bet that's a decent hang. No, I actually,

there's no amount of loneliness that I could feel that would make me think Dane Cook is a cool hang. Hey, let's not, Dane's, I hear catching strays. Dane's trying to rebuild. They're not straight. They're not necessary. We don't, no, no.

You know where I thought, I felt this very, very primally recently because I watched an episode of the, the Polygon series where they take celebrities to visit game stores and they had Keenan and Kel going through video games. Shelf Quest. Shelfquest is very good. Plug for shelf Quest.

If you need a third heat to that hang, please, guys, next time, please, all I need is just give me a day's note. It's like, hey, Justin, it's Keenan and Orkell. We might get both. Yeah, might get both. I'd love it. Just like come get a hang on with us. We're going to, you know,

GameStop. I guess that's the best video game store in New York if I had to guess, but sometimes I like to visit a local donut shop after work for a sweet treat. I typically buy a couple donuts or cronuts before walking home. Because it's almost time for the shop to close, they usually add a free donut or two with my purchase. Once, they even gave me three extra donuts and several cronut holes.

This was great. But it hasn't happened since. Brothers, what can I do to maximize the number of free donuts I receive without coming across as too greedy? That's from counting donuts in Colorado. P.S., I always tip and make sure to thank them for their generosity. They're a fantastic local shop and I enjoy supporting their business.

Okay, can I, I would like to clarify something. Just real quick. I'm not making a judgment, but if you say I'm trying to maximize the number of free things I can get, that is greed by any traditional definition. Anyone's text book, yeah. Yeah, so it's like, you are definitely trying to see how much of something you can get

without any sort of plan for need or consumption. right so it's like that's greed that it's greed right that's kind of what it is that's kind of what it is and if you say if you say if you connect the thoughts if you connect the thoughts if you connect the thoughts of i'm trying to get as many freebies as i can and i tip really generously now you've just kind of obfuscated the the prime kind of capitalist sort of invention that we that we're all kind of working on here which is paying for goods and services you just want to go about it now you're saying if this is like a corporate scene where it's like, I'm not charging you for donuts, but if you want to tip me the price of donuts, then I can dunk into my savings account and put it in there. You know what I'm

saying? They say it's a fantastic local shop, and I don't know if anyone's ever said Dunkin' Donuts. Oh yeah, my local. My local chapter. Sorry, there's definitely a paragraph too, Trow. Like, that's like, I'm saying totally cool. Love that setup. If you can turn corporate money into tips for workers, that's a great setup. Don't do that to your local donut shop, obviously, but yeah. That is important here is I think that, like, if you went in to say buy half a dozen, no amount of free donuts should change the amount you're planning to buy. The free donuts is an at, like if you said, I'm going to go in to get six, but I think

I could get three free, so I'm only going to buy three. No, no, no, no. It is hard. It's tough traves because it's like, it is for me. If I go in and buy two donuts and they give me three free donuts, there's this part of me. It's like, well, just take these back. You know what I mean?

You're obviously just chucking away donuts. This should be a like, you just want to see what's possible, right? This is not a scheme, right? You're just want to see the limits of generosity. Right? Because also those day old donuts sounds like they're going to get rid of them at the end of the day anyway. They're just trash anyway. So here's what you're going to do.

You go to the shop, you say, hey. Listen, you're about to close. I'm about to buy a couple donuts. You love it. I love it. I want you to give me a box and I want you to fill it with all of the free donuts you can. And I'm going to take it to a shelter for people experiencing homelessness in the nearby area, right? So then what is this to do?

God, I hope that's the truth, though. It's true, though, right? Or you're going to hell. You're going to super bad. You will go to all forever. If it's not real, I'll make it and send you there. Does this create a scenario where if you. ever go in wanting donuts you have to be pretty abundantly explicitly clear i would like a half

dozen donuts and these are me donuts for me only for me don't don't connect it in your mind that you're going to give me extra donuts for charity because these are going inside of inside of me uh so well what if they gave you two dozen to take ask for eight dozen donuts for charity just you can't ask for number, that's the problem. If you ask for a number for charity, then that's a donation they're making. I would need you to say, scour the kitchen, open the fridge,

find the donuts that you have because I want to know how many free ones I can get off of you. I'm just testing the limits. Yeah, you don't want to put a thumb on the scale. I get it. Yeah, exactly. Because what if they had nine does? Fuck, man, I didn't even think about that. I didn't even think about nine being bigger

than eight. Yeah, man. That's more. That's more. Yeah. Well, that's the most there could be, though, right? You know why people forget about that so much as because 7, 8, 9? Ah, yeah, I didn't even think about that. That's a great point. This is why I keep you around. You feel good about that?

Do you feel, how do you feel about that joke? And this is not a leading question. It's only you describing it as a joke that soured it. If it was more just like a thing that was said. A witticism. Not even that, just like a sound, sound, sound that moved to the next sound. that you made. It's just a sound.

How do you feel about that series of sounds you made with your mouth? I stand behind it. Yes, you should. I think it would be good practice for everyone to start carrying around little treasures. That then, next time you go to the donut

shop and buy some donuts and you get the number of donuts that you paid for, you hand them a couple, like, really cool marbles or rocks. Trinkets. Or a pen. Trinkets, yes.

It's powerful. So pebbling. Now I'm going above and beyond. Now I'm showing you. you my gratitude through gifts. It's a macro geocash is what it is. Mm-hmm. Comes to you.

Normalized treasure. Everyone should have a little pouch of treasure that they can go around and give away to people who've gone above and beyond the... I didn't know. Now, are we reintroducing a barter system to the economy? No, because there's no goods and services being exchanged. This is you saying... Donuts.

No, you don't understand. There's a price on the menu for the eight donuts, and you pay it. and you get eight donuts, but you really liked the hang, so you give them a couple cool-looking marbles into, like, a rock you found. It's just like, I do not need a patch of treasure hanging around my neck. I don't need to be more of a target than I already am.

I'm already running around with a bunch of, like, video games in my pockets and the keys in the big, beautiful Buick. I love, like, I'm like a little goblin from golden, yeah, like the little goblin from golden axe. It's just like, hit me until all my potions fall out. You know what I mean? I don't need a bobbles in there.

Get his loot! Get his loot already, man. If everyone has bobbles, though, then it's not an issue. Yeah, that's true. I spin around and take their bubbles. I can't believe you said I don't want a little sack of treasure. I wouldn't wear it around my neck.

It would be at my hip. How bad ass would it be to have a little sack with you all the time? And then when you travel, you can have one that straps your chest under your clothes. You must have, but I feel like you must have a seber. or rapier If you're gonna travel with a pouch of treasure You must have armaments

By your side And if you have a sabier or a rabiar Then you must have a plumed hat Yeah you're right And of course You're lent in the hold in your off hand In case you must dole in the dusk Yeah, it only makes sense

If I saw someone on the street With a big pouch of jangly jingly treasure My mind would tell me That person's very robbable If they also had a Seabier or Rapier, I would say less robbable. But then if you put a plumed hat on that, you're back to being pretty robbable. That does take you definitely way back more in the more robbable direction. I would say at that point, it's a coin toss of whether you're 100% robable or zero percent robble

because you're the type of person carrying a Xavier on the rapier with a plumed hat. And maybe you can back that up. There's no way of knowing. Yeah. if you're willing to take that shot or not. But it's 100% or it's 0%. Bring back treasure. Just bring back treasure.

More bibles. More bibles, please. The, do you know how, you know the Scarlet Pimpernel? I was just thinking about that recently, Scarlet Pimpernel. We're talking about sabres and stuff like that. Yeah. Do you know what he did? We watched that musical.

And I don't think I really clocked it as a kid, but when aristocrats, when fancy people were about to get beheaded by the rebel, like, by the common folk, he rescued him from getting beheaded. That's not a very cool superhero. I didn't think that was it. Are you sure about that, Jane? That's his whole... I thought he was rescuing the English from the French.

He was rescuing French aristocrats from being beheaded at the guillotine. Guillotine, pardon me. And that's like the first superhero, man. Yeah. That sucks. Yeah. You're right. What a dumb, what a dumb hero.

So you're telling me to cop that sang in an angry, voice about wanting to kill everybody and the Bermanel stopped him was the good guy. He was the good guy because he wanted to get the, he wanted to be at the rich. So like, hey, you know what I'm saying? And the Scarlet Piperin, I was like, don't worry, Philipp, I'll save you. And he's like, goes and gets all his rich friends. And it's like, yeah, all my rich buddies, don't worry about it. I'll come get you out. And then we'll go to, what, someplace else where we won't get me headed? Fuck you. Yeah. What a stupid thing to do a whole book and a musical and everything about.

I went to pick up an AC from Facebook Marketplace today, and I had to take the part in two trips. So I asked the seller if it would be all right for me to come back in a minute for the rest of the parts as I had parked around the corner. They said, of course, I'll just be jumping into a meeting. I said, I'd do my best to be quiet then. When I came back two minutes later, they were in media res of a of a psych appointment, the psychiatrist discussing specifics of their diagnosis. So I quickly grabbed the rest of the parts and I tried to get out as quickly as possible. But on the way out, I climbed the parts against

absolutely every single obstacle on my behalf. I tried my best, but I'm fairly certain there was a better. There's so many better. There's so many better. So much better and so many better. We don't do a lot of questions anymore that are just like, hey, this thing happened to me, but damn it.

Yeah, this is a cool one. I have to imagine that you overheard, like, the psychiatrist. That's from bungled Birches in Balaura. Yeah, that you overheard the psychiatrist say something like, Derek, is there someone in your home picking up AC parts during your psychiatry appointment? This is what I was talking about. This is exactly your problem, Derek. Or even worse, hold on, there's somebody picking up my AC unit.

Sure, Derek. I'm sure. I'm not a very good psychiatrist. Have you guys done any Facebook marketplace purchasing? Have you guys dipped into this world at all? I have recently purchased a couple of old TVs for the Facebook marketplace, and it is always a heck of an experience. Because why has someone held on to it for so long, and now they're getting rid of it? There's never a good story.

It's never a happy story, you know? And you're always kind of taken. You get to see a lot of interesting parts of Huntington. I never have had a reason to venture to otherwise, but have you guys done any marketplace? I did this in L.A. because when we went, Teresa and I lived there for two years, when we moved there, we had, like, no furniture. You know, we had to get everything while we were there.

And it amazed me, like, I would say of, like, the six items we bought from six different people, five out of those, the vibe was like, I don't know, man, this, do you want it? I don't know. It was like the in-table had just appeared in their home one day, and then they were like, I guess I'll sell it. It was like everybody was befuddled.

I think if you, I've sold a couple of things this way too. I think if you sell something like this, I think there's an impulse to free it of context. You know what I mean? So it's like, no, I don't, this, I don't want you to know how this fit into my life. It's no longer here, okay? This is a separate entity. It's kind of floating out between the two of us. You prefer a for sale, baby shoes.

And then that's it. No more context required. Just like, oh, great. Okay. Needed those. Get them or don't. time I bought from Facebook Marketplace a big old air compressor like four foot tall huge and like I went to this dude's house and it's like a 60 65 year old man and he was like showing me all of like the tools

that went and asked me I was getting it and I told him I was like getting into blacksmithing and like polishing up tools and stuff and he cut the price in half oh man because he was like you see him like a good dude who knows his tools and everything I want you to have it and it's I'm going to give you all this stuff with it and everything. And I literally cried a little bit. Oh, man. And, like, he put a hand on my shoulder and he was like, make good stuff with it. Did he raise the price back up when you cried a little bit?

He doubled it. He doubled it. I didn't know you were a wimp. Yeah. Right. I didn't know. You kick me in the shin a couple times. Through sand in my eyes.

What kind of anvil jockey would shed tears over a price like this? That's a cool way to do it. And then he called his psychiatrist for me. and said, hey, this whim's crying, and the psychiatrist was a huge bustly dude. And he beat me up through the phone. Wow. Hey, I know this isn't helpful. I know this is some real Monday morning quarterbacking, but if I could start here,

I would have not clanged the parts against absolutely every obstacle in your path. Like, if you're asking for a way to do it better, like, before we even talk, like, I don't think your strategy was fundamentally flawed. Your strategy was decent, which is get the thing and get out so that you can remove yourself from this fairly vulnerable situation. But the execution, I think, did suffer because you clanged it on every obstacle in your path. But the person at fault here is the seller

who said, yeah, no problem. I'll just be jumping into a meeting. You at that point, no amount of clanging you've done, makes it your fault that it's happening during a psychiatric appointment. You could have had a bigger car. Okay. If you had a bigger car,

They probably thought it's just going to be a one-tripper. It doesn't matter because I got my therapy afterwards, and it's all about procrastination. It's my therapy. I'm in therapy for procrastination. So, like, if I delay either of these things, it's going to be bad. I don't want to, this may be a little bit too highfalutin, but bear with me a second. Okay, sure.

Right? So there's two kind of states of being. There's two different states, right? Being, just doing. right? You can be without doing anything, right? You can just be. That's meditation.

So in meditation, you're trying to get to the essence of just like being without doing anything, right? So conversely, by my reasoning, there must be an opposite end of the spectrum where you can do this and not have to be there. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, retail work. So yes, yeah, like you can maybe tap in. to that that's a good and but like just but that even retail work you have to do some being right because people might talk to you or you might get a phone call or something i'm saying not if you work in the warehouse baby i was doing all over the place in there yeah but for this you need to

reach a state of absolute doing yeah just 100% non presence it's like you you should have trouble navigating the room because of your lack of being and you you're you should slip out of people's minds like the TARDIS. Devil's advocate, is it possible they reached this fugue state you're describing? And maybe that's why they banged into every obstacle. No, because they remember it. They remember it so they were there for it, right? If you were 100% doing, you would not have the recall of this terrible time.

You would be in the car and then it would be slightly later and you would still be in the car with the air conditioner. back there and everything else is just gone. Yeah. It was just like, yes, it's severance. It's like full intentional self-severence. I wish I had severance. I wish I had severance, but just for the bathroom. How dope would that be if you walked in there

and there was just one guy and he was ducky man and all he ever knew was that? And his life is weird. His life is bad, but my life is shorter. What is this? We would stuff it with Uncle John's bathroom readers every day. Like, he would not want for activity. But you would just put him in, you would just walk through the door and then you'd immediately

walk out the door. Why do I sometimes want to drink from the sink? And sometimes I don't want to drink from the sink. I don't understand. Sometimes I want to lap from the sink. And sometimes I don't. He can shower, too. Like, he can do, like, he can have shower.

No, it's all the bathroom. I want a shower. I like a shower. Can he and I do that together? I'll have a half. bath for just showers, which is not typically the half that gets sectioned up. I don't know. I know how close you know you've watched this show, but I'm pretty sure if you end up with

somebody doing your seventh bathrooms, they will find a way to break out and come kill you. Like, 100%. I don't know how it's going to work out. They would not understand our world. They would not. All they know is bathrooms. So like, they reach a hallway and they're like, where's the toilet? And like, they, like, they would.

Yeah. I shit on this couch. and it didn't go anywhere. I sat down. I did what I do, but it's like trapped here. Mark, I meant to ask you, every time you go in the bathroom,

I just hear you screaming, let me out, let me out, I want to be, I want to be, I want to see the world. Why is there no windows? Like,

and I don't understand. You take a long time in there, too, man. Excuse me, sir. How do I make more soil? Excuse me. I, uh, seem to, unable to make soil as normal.

How does one make soil? Oh my God. Can you imagine if your bathroom severance, your bathroom in a Audi, like ran out of toilet paper? How do they let you know? They have no accent. What would they do?

You walk into the bathroom and then you immediately walk back out with your pants around your ankles in a sort of roadie run. What happened? What did you do in there? Let's take a. break. And we'll come right back after this.

Guys, I listen, I brought a tree for fast green trees. You know I love these two apple trees I bought. They're too fast growing. It's overtaking my home. Okay. I don't know that they want a Jumunji danger to be like one of the... Like an arborist Kaiju. Yeah.

They're growing very well. The two apple trees, I mean, while I'll admit there is a bit of hyperbole, they're not destroying my home. home. They're growing well. They have leaves. Some of the hallmarks of good tree growth. You can see I'm not an arborist myself. That's why I'm lucky to have fast growing trees to depend on. Because the cool thing about them is if you buy a tree from, first off, you tell where you live. They'll tell you about your growing zones would work well there. And then if you're having problems with your plant, or even if you're not, even if you just need a little help, you can call them. And you can talk to a

plant expert. Like really, it's an alive and thrive guarantee. That's an expert in plants, by the way, not a plant that is an expert. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. They got one of them, they got one of them dancing cactuses there that when you call and ask for help with your trees, he like wiggles around. Oh, like Final Fantasy?

Turn all the knobs down. You only turn my microphone down? You're too powerful, Justin. Okay, sorry, pal. Maybe ASMR-R it. No, don't do that either. Me in the middle and tell me about the food stuff. Jimmy Johns has got a new meal for you.

Oh, no. They finally did it. My old stomping grounds. They teamed up. They teamed up. It's the partnership. I'd say it's a partnership that everybody's been waiting for. I mean, pictures worth a thousand words.

Isn't that what they say? Are they partnering with me? Because I used to work there? That was a type of partnership. That was a type of partnership. That's true. You were a little bit more direct. Oh.

Huh. It's Fettie Wap. And he's got the Fetty Rop. That's a... The Fettie Y-up. That's wild business, guys. That's crazy work, Jimmy Johns. Because...

So it's new. The number 1738, Fetty... I have to spell... Capital W. Open parenthetical. Lowercase R. Close parenthetical. A.P.

Meal. The Fetty... The parentheses there are doing... So much work and all of it's mysterious. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah.

Okay. Yeah. It is necessary the parentheses because otherwise you would just say Fetty Rapp meal. But the Fetty, the Fetty, does enough to distinguish what they're going for. Well, and the big picture of Fetty Wop that they do have of him holding what is clearly extremely photoshopped in chicken chicken bacon Caesar wrap maybe. Yeah. He's holding it like it's a beaker that he's doing some sort of science in.

Yeah. But the parentheses seem to indicate to me silent R. Hmm. Oh, maybe it is. Maybe. Okay. Yeah, that's also kind of possible. This is so confusing.

Yeah, so let's talk about it. Hey, what's up? Hello. Jimmy Johns is teaming up with Fettie W to bring the energy of sober straight to the menu. With the number 1738, Fenni, capital, W, open, parenthetical, lowercase, R, closed, parenthetical AP meal. featuring the brand new Buffalo Ranch chicken wrap and the Buffalo flavored Jimmy Chips. I don't know if it's a day. I don't know why you needed to do that there, but it felt right to me for you to hit that there.

Yeah. Answering fans longstanding calls for Morfetti, Jimmy Johns is officially delivering the rap of the summer that's WRAP of the summer of the summer, to you by the rapper R-A-P-P-E-R of the summer, Fetty Wop, also stars in a digital spot packed with unmistakable Rap Queen Energy, celebrating a flavored drop that hits just as hard as his iconic anthem.

Let's back up. If you do not know about Fetty Wap's big song, Trap Queen, some of this may be very confusing to you. From 11, whole ass, years ago. Especially like... I think that

it being Pride Month, talking about Rap Queen... Thank you for speaking about it. Yes. Rap Queen with a picture of FettyWap might lead to

a reader who is not aware of Trap Queen making assumptions about what's going on in Fettie Wap's life. We're already linguistically several layers deep. Because what we're doing here is talking about Fetty Wop, who is a rapper. He's selling W-R-A-P.

You know what I mean? We're already like so deep. But now we're talking about rap queen energy where rap is replacing trap queen. Okay. Fucking calm down. Okay. Hit me with the Jimmy John's new The 1738 Fetty, parentheses T, W, parentheses R-A-P-Queen. The Fettitua Rap Queen.

Now we've gotten so specific. Yeah. Fettywap also starts in a digital spot packed with unmistakable rap queen energy. Yes, it's a digital spot. Not on celluloid. No, it's not a celluloid. It's a flip book. This is how the real pros do it.

I've never watched this ad. So let's just watch it together, okay? Oh, react. And then we'll build off. A lot of live reacts. to yeah obviously don't talk yeah bro i see at the studio later man i'm about to grab some food man hey what up i'm like hey what's up hello welcome to jimmy johns what can i get for you i'll do the 1738 bill duh one buffalo ranch chicken wrap buffalo jimmy chips and a drink wait

does this make me your rap queen oh my god uh okay yeah baby whoa here's your fettie rap meal Petty Wap? Right. It's just that's a rap. Yeah. And you got that soda. Not the lyrics, but I appreciate it, though. Like, yeah, I see what you're doing there.

Anytime, Mr. Wap. Xavier's fine. Okay. That's cool. Yeah. Thank you. I'm going to take this rap to my Rari. Hey.

Two icons, one rap. The 1738 Fetti rap, ma'am. Available now. So, okay, interesting things here. Um. There's a lot. I mean, there's a ton of interest. Can I just start by saying I'm not that familiar with Fetty Wob's work?

But the vibe on that gentleman is pretty choice, I'll say. It's a good charming vibe. I really like Fettie Wob's energy. I'm now very much celebrating him getting this promotion. I really, really, really think Jimmy Johns is bending over backwards to make it make sense. And I feel like doing an entire ad about how sweaty this whole thing is. Yeah. And choosing to make.

what am I called the most uncomfortable interaction with a customer? Like, don't you want to come into our store? We make our customers wildly uncomfortable in our interactions. They kind of got to hang a lantern on it, right? It's bad for my... I think hanging as large a lantern as they have is insulting to my intelligence, but this whole thing had an enormous hook that was labeled four big lanterns. Like it, there was a space for it.

It's hard to blame them for capitalizing on that. At the center of it all is the Buffalo Ranch chicken wrap made with all natural chicken and drizzled with Buffalo Wild Wings, medium buffalo sauce. Layered with fresh lettuce. Wait, Buffalo Wild Wings, the company? Yeah. So it's a triple partnership? We got them.

We got them. We got them. We got them. Layered with fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, sliced celery, crispy carrots, and homestowel ranch, all wrapped up in a soft flower tortilla. It serves up bold, nostalgia-packed flavor. Nostalgia for what? For that time you ate a Buffalo Wild Wings?

Wild Wings and Fetty Wop was there? Do you remember when Fettie Wob was visiting from college and you took him to Buffalo Wild Wings to talk about his grades? It's going to feel just like that. Because all rap queens deserve a good deal. Jamie Johns is offering the 1738 Fetty Rap meal for 679 from July 6th through the 9th. A nod to another one of Fettywop's party anthems exclusively for JJ Reward members using the code Rap Queen. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

They're selling the Fettywop special rap for three days. No, for three days you can get it for $6.79. 679. Okay. I was going to say, why roll out a commercial for a three-day? Because apparently of the hit song, 679, which was also by Mr. Wop. I'm not as familiar. As we were saying, I'm not as familiar with his work.

Apparently, according to Wikipedia, the song finds three performers admiring an attractive woman at a nightclub environment. And the title is a reference to Fettywop's birthday of June 7th, 1991. Happy belated birthday to Mr. Mopp. Have you noticed a pattern? Xavier is fine. That's true. Thank you. Have you noticed a pattern?

He did not say that to me, though. If I were to say like, pardon, Xavier, he would probably be like, ah, you can call me Fettie Wop, Justin. Thank you so much. If someone says something in a commercial or a TV show or a movie, they're also saying it to you. Yeah, it's like vampire rules. If they have a welcome mat, that's enough to let you in. Now, listen, have you noticed a pattern in Munch Squads where sometimes they will partner with like a celebrity for a thing, and it's a wild combination, and it's available at, like, one store for, like, two hours, right?

And then there are other times where it's very clearly, we want to start making a Buffalo chicken route and make it a staple item on our menu. Now we just need to find a celebrity as an excuse to promote this like it's important, but this is going to all stores all the time. forever yeah correct yes that's true but fettie wop wap and if you put the r in there oh fuck yeah i didn't even get it what if they put the r in a different place and they started selling the fettie warp oh shit this was and this was a fettie warp again now what about you put some noodles, then you start getting a fetticini. Now I'm into it. Now we're talking. Now we get a fetticini wrap.

Olive Garden would never, but if they did, that would be good. Fetticini would be less of a walk. It would be less of a stretch. I think that what they're doing here. Here's a quote. You could do that just by putting pepperuccini on a sandwich, and I would buy the fetticini.

Well, that would be, no, that would be confusing. Oh, okay, sorry. I gotta talk to you guys about Webberoni, but that's separate. Fettywap helped to define, this is an interesting use of a definite article. Fettywap helped to define the sound of the summer, and we wanted to bring some of that energy to our menu, said Suzanne de Roucher, Vice President of Integrated Marketing Communications at Jimmy Johns. And music.

Which sounds like the job title of the person who has to make excuses for when we do bad things. Yeah. This meal is iconic, flavor forward, and built for fans who knew that some eras and flavors never miss. It's a buffalo chicken route. You guys didn't like invent the Adam bomb. It's a buffalo chicken route. This time are you going to say, yeah, baby, with every bite.

With buffalo chips, check. That's the difference. Sure, it's too much buffalo. I agree. I'm happy for Fediwap. Yeah. He was, he was. Either way, whichever he prefers.

I'm happy for him. He seems like a nice guy. Yeah, we know nothing about him. So if he's not a nice guy, don't. I don't. Yeah, I can't like vouch for him. The Jimmy John's guy shoots elephants, so I don't like him very much. Oh, my God.

I remember when we were working there and we all found out it was a dark day. This is what throws him. Because he walked in with his blunderbuss. Yeah. And an elephant slung over his shoulder. Yeah. And you didn't say anything, dude. And I did this out.

He said, slice it up and slammed it down on the counter. It's fucked up, man. It was so messed up. He said this thing charged me in the parking lot and this was self-defense. And now we know that's not true. I think more curious mind would have asked him why he had his blunderbuss on him in the first place. Yeah, I was 22 at the time, you know.

You were scared. Yeah, I was scared. He had a blunderbuss. And I was still thinking about Jimongi. Yeah. And the hunter who looked like Robin Williams' dad showed up. And when we worked there, this is also what throws you from this commercial. The circumstances were such, I worked there for six months.

I never made a single sandwich because I was never trained, like, how to do it as fast as they wanted. So I always worked register. And then my manager, Austin, would be like, Travis, Megan, whatever, blah, blah, blah. And I'd be like, okay, but no one's showing me how to do that. And he would yell, I shit you not. No time. Get on the register. And someone else would make it.

Yeah. So the idea that there would be a. humorous interaction with any customer at any level. Well, I trust, I think you maybe had a substandard. You fell through the cracks. You fell through the cracks of the Jimmy John system,

and that does tragically happen to a lot of our nation's youths. Yeah, I don't know that is the man. Jimmy John did make me shave in the Jimmy John's bathroom with a rusty razor and lukewarm water. If I have to hear about you shaving with a rusty razor in Jimmy John's bathroom one more time. I hate it, Austin. What was the other thing you wanted to talk about, Jucer? Oh, this is one that I did a field reporter on with my body. Austin, if you're listening, you're a piece of shit.

Sorry, go off you, Austin. You can't do that. That's a violation of federal communication standards. It's narrow casting. To tell Austin to. Yeah, you can't use the American broadcast waves. This is the show is, of course, simulcasts on series XXXM, the adults only series XXM. Character's welcome.

Character is unwelcome because they're all in jail. the characters are like Pikachu, Superman, like no, you can really get away with fucking anything XXXX, X. I want to see if I'm going to be. You guys aren't going to be as excited about Webberoni if you don't see Webberoni in action. I'm sure it doesn't happen for it.

Oh, sounds like a 1996 website. Yeah. That's that very funny joke. Kids, search up code word best buddies on Webberoni to play our new Flash game. Sorry, Justin, did you just say

that sounds like a very funny joke Travis? No. I said that is a funny joke, Travis. Okay. It's a funny joke that's made. Because you said it sounds like a website. Yeah.

And I said it's web errone. So I was like, that's a very funny joke. Because you put web and web together. He agreed. He was agreeing with you. I don't know why you're getting up that. It still cut me to my core. Well, okay.

I was just agreeing that it was a very funny joke. I don't know. Okay. Travis, we've been at this. I can be more negative if you want. I want it. We've been crafting humor together for such a long time. Sometimes a laugh isn't the organic response to this stuff.

Sometimes it's a discussion of craftsmanship. Yeah. Like, you know when artists go around museums, they're whipping it out every few seconds, you know what I mean? They're just saying like, oh, good art. Good hand in the next part, bro. Show me this webberoni at the Little Caesars. A web of shredded pepperoni and toasted cheese.

With the we're wettoroni pieces from Little Caesars, we can finally eat my spice. Oh, oh. Those men died. I'm gonna die. What I say, Duny pizza for 899. She's Spider-Man

for a new day. Pizza pizza pizza. Okay, so. I was struck by an image right away, Justin. Yeah. Of what? The construction workers

hanging upside down there. Yeah. Yeah. What they have done that Spider-Man does not normally do is anchored the line because they're on safety belts so that it looks like

the web is coming directly from their huge or butthole. Yeah, they're also wearing shorts, which you almost never see Spider-Man doing. Never see in a construction setting, yeah. So the Webberoni pizza I had yesterday, and I got to eat it live to myself. The Little Caesar's. Hold on. How does one eat something not live?

Like, I ate it. I didn't, this isn't just a story. I'm saying, like, I have a live report from my body from last night and today. So I have, like, different, I have a lot of different perspective. We're going to want to hear the follow up. Yeah, you won't actually. So it's going to swing into theaters on the 31st, but on Saturday, June 27th, they opened a replica of Peter Parker's apartment. Little Caesars did.

And at this replica, they launched the Weberoni pizza. So the Weberoni pizza is a pizza, and it features tiny shredded pepperonies and shredded cheeses in a fashion that looks like. Like, Spider-Man is just, like, webbed it, like, with cheese and pizza. Yeah. Yeah. How intricately. If there was a switch on his thing that could change from webs to torn up pepperoni pieces. And you know, at least once he's forgotten to switch it back before he gets in a big brawl with Doc Ock.

And he's like, get stuck to the wall, Doc Ock. But instead he just blasts him with a confetti of spicy meats. Ah, I'm vegan. No. Electro's vegan. So the Webberating pizza, they're opening a pop-up experience on the 27th. This is tomorrow from 1 to 8 in New York. We can't get there in time.

Well, now with that attitude. Yeah. To the brother of a deal. Here's inspired by Spider-Man's iconic web-slinging superpowers, Webberoni pizza features a web of shredded pepperoni and toasted cheeses on top. The combination of shredded pepperoni. and toasted two cheese blend offers customers an opportunity to get pepperoni in every bite, all for just $8.99.

You can also add your own web pizza by just adding a web of pizza and toasted cheese. Web it up. Web it up. They had to add the quotes there to make it clear, like, our employees are not going to carefully place these shredded pepperoni in a web shape. We can't make this clear enough. They will conjure the idea, the suggestion of a web, but this will not look like a web. We are little Caesars.

We have invested all of our money into R&D at getting this stuff at you as fast as we can if there was a pizza gun, like in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, that we could just shoot it into your open driver's side window. As you roll by the restaurant, we would do that. We cannot stop to form an intricate lattice work of this Italian meat. It can't be, it will stop the gears entirely. Also, not since Toby Maguire's has Spider-Man had the power to launch webs. This Peterburger has a web-slinging device. It's not a superpower that he has, you dumb shit. Well, maybe, will you even see the movie?

What is that for? Who's the anger at? Who's the anger for? I don't know, man. I woke up early with a headache and, yeah, but don't bring that here. You know what, Little Caesar, Justin's right. Little Caesars. That was unkind of me.

You're doing your best out here, and I actually do. Austin still, Austin still suck my butt, buddy. Austin, you, you heard them. But the we should celebrate, this is somebody who really looked at Spider-Man

and you're like, how can I translate this into a pizza? You know what I mean? Like, not in like, they really looked at like the Spider-Man experience. Yeah. It's like, eat like Spider-Man is the tagline. As though once you came to Spider-Man,

he's like, I can't eat shit without webs anymore. Yeah, man. I love this stuff. And we go to, I'll go to Uno Pizzeria Grill and be like, hey, can you web it? Do you know, do you have the technology here to, at Little Caesars, they do a thing called web in it.

I'd like it web style. I'd like it web style, please. I'm Spider-Man. Oh, shit, I'm not wearing the costume. Fuck, I just gave it away. I have to applaud them for this interpretation of a Spider-Man pizza, and not just delivering pizzas in the box upside down

and calling that Spider-Man pizza because I think that that would also fill the brief and it would make the pizza more difficult to eat but it's not like the hot and readies are really... Also, can we highlight what a coup for Little Caesars to get to partner with Marvel Spider-Man? Huge! I would expect that of a Papa John's, maybe even a Pizza Hut.

Little Caesars gets to work with Spider-Man? I think the competition's becoming a little bit more fierce because like Supergirl was KFC Supergirl into KFC. It's like... It's a major... Superman was at DQ. Maybe...

He's at the... Brazier. Hit the grill and... Superman at the grill and chill? I don't think so. How did that happen? Oops. Maybe trying to head back.

to Kansas, buddy, figure some stuff out. I bet it's like when a team is heading into a draft and they like give away a bunch of like two, three, four, five picks to have like one strong first round pick. And they're like this Spider-Man partnership is

going to make our whole season. Yeah. They have to talk to both people on both sides of a conflict like this. They have to get the Little Seas perspective and they have to get the movie side. So here's what the Little Seas perspective is. And this is a human. for sure.

Our goal is to connect with customers in cultural moments and areas where they are passionate, says Greg Hamilton, a person. We're thrilled to work with Sony Pictures Spider-Man brand new day this summer to bring the world's favorite superhero. It's not into our stores and homes

across the country, creating a unique pizza occasion the entire family can enjoy. Oh, wait a minute, Rebecca, did I say pizza occasion? Delete, delete, delete, delete, delete. A pizza occasion, no, delete. Battery crunching sounds, battery crunching sounds, battery crunching sounds. Now, over on the movie side. How is it so hard?

Like, it's so hard to say a pizza occasion. I'm not a fucking sale. Say pizza occasion out loud. No one said it. I don't have sales experience, but I've watched half of season one of Mad Men, and it doesn't, it seems like a pretty fundamentally flawed strategy to come at it this way and not say anything that makes the pizza sound good or Spider-Man sound cool or yourself sound like not an Android.

I don't get it, man. It always sounds like the only people they're worried about reading these press releases are the other restaurants where they're like, why the fuck did they do this? And they're like, no, no, no, it makes sense. Listen. Yeah. We like, like, Spider-Man is known for its explosive action, humor, and fun. And clattering with Little Caesars, he doesn't say this, but I'm assuming the rest of the

sentence is, which seems like a joke. Yeah. They showed up with two big bags with money signs on them and slammed them down on our desk. Okay. Collaborating with Little Caesars, a brand recognized for its, what? It's two things. Okay. Hot ready.

Feed and flavor. Blank voice and blank spirit. I'll give you that. Pioneer spirit. You think he said, you think so, he said Little Cesar is known for its spider. It's a bold voice that can do spirit or... The pizza pizza pizza voice. Bold voice is correct.

Okay, good. Bold voice is locked in. Bold, an adventurous spirit? So close. Playful spirit on Spider-Man brand new day was a natural fit, said Jeffrey Godsick, who had disgraced his deity in his actions. Their passion for creative, engaging content. brought the Weberoni vomit in here.

It's God six, sir. Their passion for creative engaging content brought the Weberoni pizza and a replica of Peter Parker's apartment to life offering fans an immersive way to engage with their favorite friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. That's right, Spidey fans. Finally, you could live the dream

of having an apartment in New York. Does the replica come with a little guy? Imagine. Does the replica come with a little guy? little guy who swings by and is like, give me rent. I'm having fun out here. Clean up this shit hole. The movie's outside.

Do you guys remember the give me rent guy from the Toby McGuire era? Yeah. The give me, give me rent. I think his name was John Give Me Rent. I love that. This, wow, there's a lot of credits on this campaign. We're not going to get deep into it. But anyway, that's the Webaroni.

I had it yesterday. So here's the live review. I don't like when cheese tastes too much like cheese. And this cheese, folks, it has a cheesy flavor that no one's going to enjoy. So the Weberoni's are good. Zero percent of Justin Macroyes are going to love it. No one's going to like this. Some people like the cheesy flavor.

Also, let me save you four bucks. There is an exclusive mango spicy rush at Little Caesars that only Little Caesars has, and we got a can of it. It's not worth it. Okay. It was $4? Will you, would you go back into the mines one more time and do me a science, favor, which is get another one of these Weberoni pizzas. I need you to remove every piece of

webaroni from it and try to reconstruct them into whole pepperoni. So I know exactly how many pepies were getting on this thing. Because it could be not usual. Peronny pizza? Of course there's pep in every bite. They've destroyed it. They've reduced it to a molecular level. You're going to get a little bit of peppy. But like, what if you put it all together and it's like five pepperonies? It just looks like a lot because of the way that they've scattered it. Oh, yeah. All of a sudden

It's like only Weberoni. That's the only way we do it. Consumer reports. Give me one big pepperoni that covers the entire surface. Oh, fuck yeah. With the new Captain America, Shieldoroni. Yes, dude. You remember when the insomnia cookies did?

They did wicked cookies, but they wouldn't call them wicked cookies. They were just like, green, green magic. I just noticed they have two Supergirl cookies with the Supergirl logo right on there. So they're like, Insomnia, they got the word out. They're like, listen, if I can work with us or no, we're going to do the cookies. So you might as well, you might as well give us the brand. Come on. We're going to do it regardless.

Heart of the Tiger, where Tim plays Mellick and additional Kilrothi voices. If you miss that first episode, you miss Tim Curry doing a New Orleans accent. Holy shit, man. And it is one of the worst things I've ever heard from a professional. And he can handle it. Tim can handle it.

Yeah, yeah. But like, it's all up. Like, it's all. It's all love. It's his first game. Maybe he'd never acted before, I don't know. But you can still check that out at the Macroy Family YouTube channel. It'll be in the live tab where you can also watch Griffin talking about every game ever made
