Hi, this is Rachel McElroy. Hey, what's up? This is Griffin McElroy. And this is wonderful. 101. We've cleared it. Over the hill, baby. This episode will

be entirely about the cinematic piece that is 101 dalmatians uh-huh did you know actually there is a video game i believe for the wii u that is titled wonderful 101 and it's by platinum games just reviewed it didn't care for it that's my review of a review of the wonderful 101 for i believe we you stole our seo right up from fucking under us didn't they man oh yeah so don't use that hashtag because it won't go to us yeah and i'll tell you one other thing 101 you know what that looks like lol so this one's gonna be a real chuckle buster i'm so fucking tired oh that means we missed 88 oh man which looks i mean i don't know like like four mouths going ooh or two bandit masks or or like boobs yeah it's like two good hey good baby thanks or two butts and two circles yeah shoot man looks like two eights or four zeros do you have any small wonders fuck man

it's gonna be a rough one uh i got the switch light on friday it's the new switch model nintendo switch is the whole thing just that it's lighter it's smaller and it doesn't connect to the tv which is like the whole thing that the switch does but it's so fucking small i am a like die hard fan of nintendo hardware like i collect a lot of it i have like a gba micro which is one of my favorite things that have i ever shown you that cute little guy uh it's like this it's like this big it's like the size of a lego and you can play game boy advanced games anyway this is that for the switch and it's like really boutique and uh it just feels so good in my hand it energ energizes me to, you know, play Zelda.

It's really nice. I like it. You got a small wonder? I do. I don't know if I've talked about it, but I really like a Saison. A Saison. Oh, like the brew. Like the beer.

Yeah. Yeah. We went to a really nice brewery in St. Louis, the Alpha Brewery. Yeah. Something like that. Alpha Brewing. Alpha Brewing Brewery for real brewsters. And that's a nice little selection. Had a nice saison there?

Is that what you're saying? No, it just made me think. I mean, I'm sure they have a nice saison, but I was just thinking about beers I like consistently. And I like a saison. Me too, man. I will very rarely drink more than one beer in an occasion. So I want to get my mileage.

It's real light and citrusy, I feel like. Nice. Nice stuff. Who starts this week? I think it's me. I think it is you also. Why don't you start and I'll check. And if it's not you and we were wrong, then I'll interrupt you.

Eat your hat. I'll eat my headphones wait this says i go first oh well because you started technique wait no last week was it yeah last week that skips but now the wonderful now oh shit i have to start our also wonderful f.fyi website is going to be off for the rest of its life right i have to start this week yeah because you can't really summarize episode 100 since it was itself a summary. It's beyond categorization.

It doesn't subscribe to labels. Okay, go ahead and start. It's like the, you know, goth kid at your youth group. Glad I didn't reveal what my first thing is. I know, that would have been so bad. My first thing is

the baseball tee. The baseball tee. Everybody look at my baseball tee. What's with those sleeves? Did the ends get bit off by a tiger or a lion? I wonder if some people thought you were initially talking about t-ball. Baseball, t-ball. I mean, t-ball is pretty dope.

It's baseball for the, it's baseball without the pitching. Because the pitching is the scariest part. The ball comes at you very fast. Which can happen when you're playing in the outfield. We need to find a way to get ball movement completely the fuck out of baseball, don't we? If you're in the outfield and you see a ball coming at you, that's scary. We have managed to erase that fear from the batting experience. So no throwing the ball at anybody.

No hitting the ball at anybody. Oh, I see. Maybe when you're in the outfield you have to run to a tee where a ball is and so the player that just hit the ball will shout out uh green 22 not knowing where green 22 is and the outfielder has to run and find green 22 that's great it's like the the last game in the carmen san diego game show i like that a lot or we could have two baseball diamonds and all the outfielders are in their own one and so when the ball gets shot out there

could be an announcer like okay kids it's going like way far right way far right yeah that's pretty close let's just say you caught it like that safety no but you were talking about the article of clothing i'm talking about the t-shirt that has a three-quarter sleeve i like it i've always liked it it's a fashion that i like and that is tragic because i think it's one of the harder garments to find a good one for myself because it's just more it's just more clothes to try and make fit on my body well i think you like a long sleeve i feel like anytime you wear a short sleeve you have a long sleeve nearby or over it and maybe this kind of splits the difference for you interesting that's an interesting hypothesis this is like the a nice light jacket of shirts because it goes from day to night because the

sleeve can't really decide what it wants to do and i like that it's a less common t design so like you go to the you know j crew they're not gonna have a baseball tea there most of the time they're just gonna have you know crew necks and v-necks which i've also recently learned i can't wear a v-neck anymore i can't you also get usually two two colors uh oh yeah usually the sleeves are a different color. Gotta love that. And I used to play baseball and I played for like little, little league and we were part of the losing this team in Huntington, West Virginia.

But I had the white shirt with the three quarters yellow sleeves, favorite color, fucking loved it. Fucking lived for it. Really nice tee. Hated playing, was bad at baseball except for my one heroic grand slam i did to save the rec center other than that hated it loved the shirt great stuff i really believed

you for a second yeah really uh anyway the origins are a little okay i found a lot of different corroborating sources about the origins of why people wear these shirts for baseball. I wanted to see the origins of them and how people wore them for baseball, why they started doing that. And all of the sources I found, the story sounded still so apocryphal. There's no way that that is as simple as it was. But anyway, in the early 1800s, there was a guy named Fitzroy James Henry Somerset who was a British army officer uh was in the battle of Waterloo and lost an arm can we have that name one more time

it's Fitzroy James Henry Somerset I've already decided next time I play D&D Fitzroy is going to be the name of my character oh just an incredible name fucking amazing name Fitzroy you can shorten it however you want hey this is my friend Fitz this is my friend Roy this is my friend anyway uh lost an arm in the Battle of Waterloo and for like his service in the army he was awarded a castle uh in an area called Raglan and so he became the the first Baron Raglan uh and he had trouble like you know dressing himself and so his tailor designed a shirt uh where the sleeves were attached, which was not the style back then. And it allowed him to dress himself, but it also gave him some cover while offering some

flexibility so he could hold a sword and dress himself and all this stuff. And that is why these are also called raglan sleeves or raglan tees didn't know that that's fun okay here's the part that seems apocryphal after uh lord raglan died his tailor apparently immigrated to the u.s and began marketing to baseball teams saying that the flexibility of the shirt would allow them to swing about or throw a ball uh and then the yankees like adopted the style and so did every other team in the country that seems weird to me that part like oh i made this dope shirt for my for my bud lord raglan so he could dress himself and hold a sword i bet the new york yankees would love this like how the fuck did you get there i picture he

was wearing one of the shirts themselves and was walking by like a kid's baseball game picked up the ball was like oh here guys i got it rookie of the year realized this is an incredibly comfortable sleeve for throwing yeah i guess so i guess so uh i i yeah i like them so you wear this under your jersey your baseball jersey although the style is changing it's not it's not the norm now first of all, you have short sleeves with baseball vests, which is the wildest. Gang, you don't. Baseball vests? It's like the jersey is a vest over your, I forget the teams.

There's not that many teams that do it. That's no good. But even like the three-quarter sleeve is going away because of the compression sleeve that is coming in and becoming a thing. And you can't really wear a compression sleeve with a raglan sleeve. They're always trying to compress things in sports. in and becoming a thing and you can't really wear a compression sleeve with a with a raglan sleeve we're always trying to compress things in sports they really want them pretty compact if they can get them there um but i just think a sleeve looks way cooler a raglan sleeve i just like

yeah got one from austin city limits i wear all the time and i like it i can oh i can wear a watch with it and this is huge and not have to like pull up my sleeve to like check the time like perfectly saving you seconds each day i mean it's kind of it's comfort and it is i don't know i just love it i've streamlined all my shit i love it it's perfection the raglan tea what do you got well so i alluded to it in a previous episode i thought it deserved a feature of its own ladies and gentlemen yogurt yogurt one of these days we're gonna have to go to a school to learn how to make that noise do you think you don't like my i love it it's it's way better than my because that's nothing but i do feel like we could go see, you know, Tiesto or something

and he'll be like, no, let me... For $150, I'll take you through a four-day class at night, get a babysitter. The first day, it's just getting the womp right. Yeah, you have to put your head

inside of a speaker that's making the noise. You have to be basically erased and start from scratch. In the noise, but not of the noise and then you'll be with the noise like me tiesto but he would actually do it and it would sound good but i can't as we've discussed can i tell you how yogurt is made this may be one of those things where i don't need to want to know i don't think it disturbing. How do they get them living biotics in there? Milk is

heated to about 185 degrees so that the milk proteins don't become curds. Makes sense. After heating, it is allowed to cool to about 113 degrees. The bacterial culture is mixed in

and that temperature is maintained for 4 to 12 hours to allow fermentation. Cool. Where did the bacterial culture come? You skipped a step there with your – and then we dump a bunch of living organisms into it and then? I think the description I'm reading is from modern times. So I imagine that, you know, it's kind of like a yeast packet. They just have like a little –

I see, I see. A little packet. That's why a lot of people make it now in their Instapots. Oh, fun. You know, because it just has to sit for four to 12 hours. So, you know, you get that constant temperature. It's ready to go. I love how the Instant Pot, I think somebody actually posted about this in the Facebook

group. The Instant Pot has a little four digit readout display. It just says yogurt. Yeah. So it'll have like rice in there or it'll have the time or the temperature or whatever and then there's just a yogurt setting where the machine's just like yogurt that's so good that's really good i know what i'm doing in there hey hey hey hey over here quick yogurt yogurt so when uh when you get pasteurized yogurt, it is yogurt where the bacteria has been killed, but then with probiotic yogurt, they add the bacteria back in.

That seems... I know. But it's the good bacteria. It's that good bacteria. Yeah, it's the Osmosis Joneses. So since it's made from milk, you know, there's a lot of protein in there, calcium, potassium, uh, some yogurts you can get as much as 16 to 17 grams of protein in, which is like 30% of your daily value. Well, that's your pepperoni yogurt.

That's your jerky yogurt. You know, you're thinking about it, aren't you? It's got pep at the bottom. Dig for it. I'm thinking more about turkey yogurt for some reason. Maybe because I'm thinking gravy and I'm thinking turkey yogurt. I am only exclusively referring to gravy as turkey yogurt for the rest of my days. Until I pass, my final words in the hospital bed will be, gravy is now turkey yogurt.

Take me, Jesus. Gravy's now turkey yogurt. Take me, Jesus. So probiotics are, as I mentioned, friendly bacteria that naturally present in the digestive system. Part of the reason people got so hot on yogurt is that antibiotics, when you take them, they kill all that friendly yogurt. Because they're killing all the bacteria. They do not discriminate between the good and the bad. Right, yeah. And a lot of people get sick

because they've got all their good bacteria has been killed and their immune system is ruined okay so the doctors at least mine do uh maybe yours have and they definitely when henry did when you take those antibiotics they say make sure you get some good bacteria in there through the the live cultures you can find in some yogurt. Yeah. I got into the yogurt because usually it's high protein, low calorie, which means that it'll be filling. Sure. But you have to watch out because some of that yogurt has a lot of sugar in it.

Uh-oh. So much sugar. Put them on blast, babe. Good. So let me ask you, if you were to think about the high end of uh a sugar in yogurt what would what would the grammage be the gram oh like how many grams yeah like if you're thinking like oh man that yogurt has a lot of sugar in it it probably has this many grams of sugar i'm gonna say i'm trying to think of like what is in a bottle of fruit juice because i know like a lot of like fruit containing stuff can get pretty.

So those little cliff bars that we give Henry have 12 grams of sugar. A big like thing of fruit juice can have like up to like 30 or so. I'm going to say like high 30s, like 38, 39. Wow, this exercise is ruined. Why? Because one of the highest ones I found had 26 grams of sugar. And I thought that was a whole heck of a lot a whole heck of a lot of sugar it's a six ounce container 26 grams folks that's a lot

of sugar hey folks check that sugar there's a lot of sugar there's a lot of sugar so you can find yogurt that has like four or five grams of sugar in it so that's like significantly more um i don't know if i should put the brand on blast. Danimals, get them. What the fuck's wrong with you guys? That is the thing though. A lot of these kids yogurts, like you got to watch out. Whole lot of sugar. Just jewels and danimals, man.

Got to watch them. Keep them in the periphery. Another thing interesting. And so I feel like you found this with the kefir, which is that drinkable yogurt. Oh, I love that. It has low lactose content. So a person that has lactose intolerance can find it more tolerable it's a me i love that shit i will i will make

one of those big bottles last for like three days and like have that be my breakfast that's good stuff i love that kefir uh more like kefir yummerland more like kefir more like kefir yummyland that's really good griffin thanks baby um i i have been eating yogurt for breakfast pretty much exclusively for months now uh i got real into a savory breakfast for a while eggs are also a good high protein low calorie breakfast sure um but yogurt just grab and go but now you want those jamie lee curtis dukes those dukes you could set a terrible terrible thing to say to me baby that is the highest compliment are you are you kidding me that's the highest compliment i could pay anybody if i had jamie lee curtis dukes i would my life i would be a completely different person Do you think when she chose that gig, she said, yeah, I'll do a commercial about yogurt.

I've had a long, long, illustrious career in which people could find countless things to refer to me. I'll go ahead and take that yogurt commercial. She realized, that's me now. That's me now. That's me. Everyone thinks of me. And before Halloween, you know, before the other movie she's done. Sure.

Yeah. Yogurt. Yogurt. Yeah. But I would trade my fame in an instant if it meant I get those Jamie Lee Curtis quick poops. Think of all the stuff I could do with my day. That's true. Do you know?

She has a revolving door in her potty. Did you know that in her potty room? Or a slide. A slide. Yeah. Do you know, she has a revolving door in her potty. Did you know that in her potty room? She just- Or a slide. Or a slide, yeah. That's how fast she just like sits down and then slides through. And then by the bottom, it's done. It's done.

Hey, can I steal your way? I wish you would. I hate these mental images we're conjuring like necromancers. Got a personal message here for Andrew from Kara who says says surprise a jumbotron what oh yeah it's happening here we go happy nerdy 30 trademark dear thank you for being my most wonderful thing and my forever best friend i love you so much will you marry me just kidding we're already married way to go past us high five nice love you the most dumbo heart that's that's good and for a moment there was kind of like intense because i didn't read

Every Thursday on Maximum Fun. Okay, my second topic, I swear to God, I didn't know who our sponsors were going to be when I wrote all this down. Okay. My second topic i swear to god i didn't know who our sponsors were going to be when i wrote all this down okay my second topic is having the right cup for the job i promise y'all i know it seems sus but it's not it is a treat to have the right cup for the job i'm not even gonna go like okay

give me wait give me an example of a job in which you need a cup oh babe i'm not talking about like i'm a you know copy editor for the newspaper so i need my goblet i'm saying like if here's here's one example okay a copper cup for the moscow mule is it seems silly but it actually like it enhances the experience of drinking it the copper gets so cold it makes the refreshing thing more refreshing and that's just the right thing i'm not gonna say this is like all alcohol, like any beverage has a cup for a two year old, sippy cup for a two year old bottle for a baby, whatever, like having the right cup for what you're drinking for water. When we get water out of the fridge, I want a tall tumbler.

I want like a, you know, a tall tumbler with a sturdy base. Or like a pint glass for a beer. Pint glass for a beer. There's so many of these. And it's just there's something about it for it's for a beer. Pint glass for a beer. There's so many of these. And it's just, there's something about it. It's such a relief when you're staying at an Airbnb and you got a bottle of wine and you open up the things and you've got a nice size wine glass there.

Maybe it's stemless. Maybe it's not. It's not too big. It's not too small. It's not in flute, which is a special cup for champagnes, which you do need for champagne. Like it's such a relief to have one. And for for juice i don't want a big tall tumbler juice you want a little juice cup i want a little juice cup i want like a or maybe a little uh you know a little rocks glass for juice shot

glass for a shot sure yeah or to do it like my favorite of this is and i don't drink that much of this but sake has so much have so much little pieces of hardware to it you get the little flask of it and you get the little ceramic bowl and the little dish and you get that box that box is called a i looked it up a masu and it's that little wooden box and you can either like fill it till it overflows into the box you're drinking from the box it's so cool it's so cool i like all that stuff i'm now realizing all my notes are just cups i like i just got a vision of what this show is going to be like a few years from now listen when it's coffee time i want a coffee mug but when it's tea time i want a smaller now listen when it's coffee time i want a coffee mug but when it's tea time i want a smaller mug or teacup we don't really have a teacup but we have small coffee mugs i'll do that for tea time because i know we do have tea cups oh do oh well this china it's like fine yeah it's china i'm not

gonna drink those uh and yeah okay i'm not gonna keep talking about cups i like there's a lot of cups i like because there's a lot of cups a nice tall stein when we went to a german restaurant epcot sorry one more cup and you get the beer coming out of like the big stein that's that's fun that's fun anyway that's fun what about the cup that goes on your downstairs oh that's i mean that's appropriately sized uh if it's i've worn not appropriately sized ones anyway um there's non-drinking cups and one of them we watched a very educational video about this weekend uh the stanley cup uh which is currently yeah in the in the possession do they get to have it the st louis blues do they just like keep it at their no they just write their names on those to the hockey hall of fame Fame. Okay. Anyway, a cup.

It's a big cup as a lot of trophies are. It's a big cup. I don't know if anybody's ever drank anything out of it. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. They definitely do. Yeah. They pour champagne in there.

That was the, so if you followed the St. Louis Blues on Instagram, they showed the various players cause they all get a turn with the cup and a lot of them were eating like poutine out of it oh that's good so that cup and and yeah and then you drink the champagne for sure hopefully oh my god hopefully they have a champagne round and then they have a poutine round because i don't want champagne with little french fries and curds in that thing who is cleaning that standing stanley cup okay write that down for our first stand-ana album because that's a whole track right there uh anyway why do people use cups for trophies hmm why are most trophies cups hmm i don't know exactly i don't either so i looked it up uh in ancient greece they would hand out all kinds of

like stuff as trophies like like little wreaths and uh amphora of of oils uh but they also handed out silver cups i don't know why i said it like that and in the 1700s we saw something come about actually wait 1800s and one of those who gives a shit man anything before 1900 is just like it's greek to me but this is not greek this is like in europe it's like in the middle of europe anyway there was a thing invented called the loving cup oh that sounds familiar to me and they would use it at happy ceremonies like weddings and banquets and so like people just like pass it around and so to expedite that there's just two big handles on the sides so you pass from one person to the other and because it was like this ceremonial thing

uh just very naturally it became the reward at ceremonial, you know, athletic events or other competitions. And that's why cups are trophies or anyway, backwards. Anyway, I love cups. You know what would have been a good sponsor also, if not just the sponsor that kept the beer cold, but if we also had third love so we could talk about the bra cups. Oh, those are a type of cups too. That's also a cup. So many cups all over the world.

What's your second thing? My second thing is the tree kangaroo. Oh, you like this guy. Move over, wombat. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Don't. The wombat gets angry. Wombat don't like to move. Scooch a hey. Don't. The Wombat gets angry.

Wombat don't like to move. Scooch a little, Wombat. Okay, he's doing it. He's doing it. He's scooching it. We were in St. Louis over the weekend visiting my family. We went to the Children's Zoo at the St. Louis Zoo. Free zoo with the dopest fucking penguin exhibit in the universe. Can't believe how free this thing is.

Tree kangaroo so we saw the tree kangaroo hanging out in a little like kind of a wide open enclosure if i recall tree kangaroo could have gotten the fuck out of there yeah i really could have uh tree kangaroo so i did a little research on it because i just thought it was so freaking adorable and it i found a description that i thought was very apt so it has kind of the tail of a monkey kind of the body of a sloth and then kind of a bear face it is just as cute as you would think wow wow i'm gonna need a minute how is the internet all not all over these things i don't know i think that's why i'm bringing it this okay this is it you're starting it tree kangaroo is a marsupial so so like like it's land dwelling buddy the kangaroo the regular the earth kangaroo the earth kangaroo when the four come together tree kangaroo earth kangaroo fire kangaroo and water kangaroo didn't know a lot about marsupials uh marsupials so their babies

are born real early like 45 days gestation wow like no time and they're real tiny they're like born the size of a jelly bean and they they come out and then they crawl up into the pouch and they stay there for like eight months just chilling in that pouch just finishing up their growing that is fucking wild i know i know they showed like little pictures of the babies and they really are they're like they're they're very very tiny and gross looking and they get up in that pouch and they finish cooking what's in that pouch though oh i mean yogurt i guess probably some sort of probably something similar to yogurt

hey babe put that on the list for the album the stand-up album that's funny too what's even in a kangaroo pouch is it yogurt we'll work on it did you also know marsupials so the tree kangaroo has three vaginas and two uteruses which is apparently pretty common among marsupials. So that means that, I mean, that means a lot of things that I don't really want to get into. But while a baby's in the pouch, the mom can be growing another baby in the uterus, so they can just like constantly be pregnant, basically. Okay.

Which is not wonderful three vaginas three vaginas two uteruses two uteruses three vaginas yep let me tell you what's good about this tree kangaroo you've already told me so many good things about the tree kangaroo i haven't even gotten started yet okay tail three feet long cool it's a half foot longer than their bodies so like if you were to stack the tail up against the body the tail would keep going well if you think about like a cat usually the tail is about the length of the body right right this tail is super long and they think so the tail is in prehensile like a monkey so the tail can't like be used to to swing them around. He looks pretty clumsy.

I watched this dude fall from one branch to the other. He looked scared. Do you think of anything the tail is kind of more like a counterbalance? Because these things can be up to 30 pounds. They're pretty beefy boys. He was an absolute unit. Yeah. And so the tail kind of helps them balance when they're jumping.

Okay. Here's the other thing that's cool about this guy. They can launch themselves 30 feet from tree to tree. What? Which is super far. And they can drop 60 feet without hurting themselves. So they're kind of like monkeys in that way. They're kind of like monkeys, but not monkeys.

Sure. There's a cryptozoological creature in Australia called the drop bear who hides in trees and drops on you to eat and kill you. Okay. I wonder if this was inspired by the tree kangaroo. Hey, tree kangaroo doesn't eat people, does he? australia called the drop bear who hides in trees and drops on you to you know eat and kill you okay i wonder if this was inspired by the tree kangaroo hey tree kangaroo doesn't eat people does he no no ferns moss tree bark flowers oh then we're good just don't wear a moss hat or something um so their average lifespan 15 to 20 years uh the oldest living tree kangaroo is 27 years old uh and i mean they're pretty great they're just real cute they're just so cute they live in australia uh and also poplar new guinea uh they evolved from the theory is they evolved from possum-like ancestors there are 14 known

species and the most recent species was found in 1990 so like they're still figuring these guys out these these adorable chimera there's a lot to come yeah for tree kangaroos yeah i'm saying this is and folks a lot of people are saying like about to graduate college and it's if you want a an industry with a lot of jobs and a lot of future ahead of it learn you know learn mandarin and work in tree kangaroo fields they're also called i'm assuming this is australia but maybe maybe it's also in new guinea uh they're also called boom gary's boom gary's spell please b-o-o-n-g-a-r-r-y i thought you said boom gary which is the which is the coolest xbox gamer tag i've ever heard in

my life boom it's gary you're on your back now boom gary still good don't know why love it but i love it uh do you want to know our submissions from our friends at home yes please grace says i think polka music is wonderful i went to the october fest in cincinnati this past weekend and danced to live polka music i don't know how to polka dance and neither did anyone else but it was so magical laughing dancing and seeing other people having as much fun as i was because of the good good music you don't hear a lot about polkas but but uh it's a real party it's fine music folks tragically the like last exposure we had to it was the restaurant in disney world the october fest like bar and grill or whatever the fuck in germany and it was the restaurant in disney world the oktoberfest like

bar and grill or whatever the fuck in germany and it was fun henry went up there and danced the guys played accordion it was really nice time it's fun it's folks this is just fun music anyway zachary says something i think is wonderful is miriam webster's recent addition of they them as a singular pronoun as a non-binary identifying person that uses they them pronouns it's nice to have that official validation and even better to have an extra thing to shoot down ignorance and stinky bigots with yes i saw that and i was so excited it's very exciting it's like it obviously like they shouldn't have to like affirm affirm it in this way it's radical that they did but like people have the point i always see and i think miam webster used to like dish this out too is like people have been using they them

singular pronouns in like literature since i know but now all those like pedantic jerks that are like well it's not appropriate you should be like yeah yeah look at this look at this have you heard of my friend miriam or his friend webster what about the two of them together? Two of them together? They're unstoppable. Maybe one person? I don't know. Listen, I don't know about these strange dictionary writers. All I know is they're on my side. So huff my shorts.
