Hi, this is Rachel McElroy. Hey, this is Griffin McElroy. And this is wonderful. It's a hot one, folks. This... podcast. It's the sexiest show you're gonna listen to today. I guarantee it. We're your hosts, Griffin and Rachel,

and this is wonderful. A sexy podcast where we talk about things we like that's good that we're into. All the lubricants. It's a scorcher, babe. The positions and the. I was gonna, I was gonna talk about the weather. Isn't that so, isn't that, what does that mean?

What does that even, what kind of energy? But you said sexy. Yeah, because I got really uncomfortable with like, gosh, do all I have to offer. Do all I have. Do all I have to offer this world a comment about the heat outside? Yeah.

And I said, no. And then my brain was like, well, you gotta fuckin' say something, man. And then you say sexy. And then I took it down sort of a sexy path. And then I said that, and then my brain was like, wow, out of the frying pan and into the fire, huh, pal? And then you didn't want me to yes and it.

I didn't want you to yes and it, and I appreciate. A lot of people, sometimes I worry the listeners of our podcast be like, they're shutting each other down sometimes. No, we want that. We need that from each other. Don't you know? We couldn't, if I said, let's talk about lubricants,

we couldn't, like, we couldn't. You did say that. I couldn't, but I couldn't, like, I don't know. If I had one up to that, you would have left it. I mean, I couldn't, I don't know. I don't know anything about it. There's probably a bunch of them. There's water-based ones. Yeah, there's probably a bunch of them. There's water-based ones.

Yeah, there's probably a bunch of brands and colors and consistencies. I don't know what else you base them in except water. I think there's oil. Oil's one of them. There's probably plant ones. Yeah, like almond milk. Avocado, I'm sure is one.

I bet there's it. So this is wonderful. A show we talk about things we like that's good that we are into. And do you have any small wonders to talk about? Oh, I can go first if you want because I can go for a little bit. We got Switch 2. We got that new Nintendo Switch console. We did. And not the strongest launch lineup, not a ton of stuff there.

Henry was all excited for- Well, there will be, right? There's gonna be some stuff. Right, but a launch lineup is like what's available when the thing comes out. And it is a metric that is sort of important for, you know, judging what the user experience is on day one. And there's not a ton of games.

The big kind of like thing is like all the Switch one games work on it and they run a lot better. Animal Crossing loads considerably faster and they did an update to Tears of the Kingdom, the new Zelda game, best Zelda game ever and it runs so good. But when's the like stuff that he's excited about

gonna come out? Well, that Kirby DLC I thought was coming out day one, and I may have set that up in his mind this weekend. Yeah. I didn't know. It comes out in August, unfortunately. We got that new Donkey Kong game coming out in July. So, stuff is coming.

He is playing Tears of the Kingdom, which he has not done before, which is exciting. It's a very complicated game. Really, really is coming. He is playing Tears of the Kingdom, which he has not done before, which is exciting. It's a very complicated game. Really, really good one. But I love new console time. I do. So soomy. Do you have anything now?

Oh man. Gosh, you know. I'm gonna say, oh man, you know, I'm gonna say, oh man, you know, I've probably done this before. I'm gonna say a dress. Here's the secret. When you put on a dress, people think that you've put in a lot of effort.

And actually you've put in less effort. It's one thing. It's one thing. When you put on. It's supposed to two, yeah. When you put on a top and a bottom. Sure, hard. So no one talks about this anymore, hard. You've thought about two things. Yeah.

Not only have you really thought about two things, but you thought about multiple things. You thought about like the top and the bottom. You thought about how well they'll go together. Yeah. Did I accidentally get two bottoms? Yeah. Sometimes.

It's hard, man. Dress, one thing. Set it and forget it. People think it's fancier. But I know now. Yeah. And I also know you're not wearing any pants. True.

What do you think about that? Maybe this is the sexiest episode of Wonder Woman. So anyway, so I put on a dress today I also know you're not wearing any pants. True. What do you think about that? Maybe this is the sexiest episode of Wonder Woman. Anyway, so I put on a dress today and I just felt good today knowing that people probably thought that I was a business lady doing businessy things. Sure.

And then I put in effort today when actually put in less than I did yesterday. Yeah, because of the absence of pants. Uh-huh. Yeah, I love it, life hack. Yeah. Cool. 100%.

You go first this week. I do. What would you like to talk to me about and our friends at home? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, today I'm gonna make a case for someone that I think deserves a little bit more attention.

I have no idea where this is about to go. The youth of today. You could say anything right now. You could say literally anything or anyone. I'm on Tinter Hooks. The youth of today may not be as familiar with this person as I think maybe they should be. Okay. Because this person's first studio album came out in 1997.

Oh yeah. And if you think about it, many of our listeners Nobody was born then, yeah. May not have been born when that album came out. Nobody was born then. Nobody was born then, yeah. May not have been born when that album came out. This is somebody who is a singer, songwriter,

rapper, record producer. This person is Missy Elliott. Yeah, yeah, I can't believe we haven't done any of Missy's work before. Right? So important, such a singular identity in the entire history of music. Can't think of anyone quite like Missy. You always know when a Missy track is on,

even if you have only heard a few of her songs, there's something about it where you're like, oh damn, I know exactly who this is and exactly where it's gonna go. More than any other like music performer, I realized, I know exactly who this is and exactly where it's gonna go. More than any other music performer, I realized that I really wanted to talk about different aspects, more than a particular song or album. I wanted to talk about different facets.

The personae, right? Yeah, I realized I was kind of making a case for Missy Elliott. I realized that I was going to present aspects of Missy Elliott today. And then at the end was going to be like, and that is why, in conclusion. Because there are certain aspects of particular tracks

or albums that I think are strong in certain areas and not strong in other areas, but are so strong in that one area. You know? I don't get that from listening to the music because I hold it in such high regard, but watching the music videos that you sent me one and sent me down a rabbit hole

watching other Missy Elliott music videos made me very aware of the fact of like, she encompasses a vibe that I don't know. It's a very, it's a very early, early aughts internet sort of vibe, I guess. Yeah, yeah. A party vibe, rave party vibe that is doesn't, maybe doesn't exist so much anymore.

And so seems maybe so alien now. But I'm so glad that it exists because those music videos are like a wonderful little time capsule. Yeah, so my connection to Missy Elliot is very much because I- Your cousins. Because I was a teenager, like in the late 90s,

early 2000s, I had her third album, Miss E So Addictive, that came out in 2001, so that was when I was in college, played it in my car all the time. And became familiar with her when a lot of people did and became familiar with her when a lot of people did when the song from the album, Super Duper Fly called The Rain came out. And it became very well known because it appeared that she was in a giant black trash bag

in the music video. God, music videos is such a weird thing that has changed. The role that it fills has changed so dramatically. It's still definitely a thing. Absolutely, it's still a thing. That's not what I'm arguing, but it is now that you will follow an artist and they'll have a new music video out

and you'll be like, fuck yeah. And you'll have this new sort of vector to share their music and be like, yeah, this music video is so great, it has so much artistic value, it's so cool. It was, the way it was these were distributed through VH1 MTV, specifically shows like Total Request Live. There are artists whose work I did not follow sonically, who I will never forget because their music videos

I saw so much of. And now I simply do not get exposed to music videos for artists I don't follow. Yeah, 100%. And so, so many of Missy Ellie, I love her music, but like so many of her music videos are so unforgettable because they were so unlike anything else and so weird and artsy in their way.

I know, that's what's kind of amazing to me when I think about it now. So Missy Elliott grew up in Virginia, happened to go to high school with Timbaland, who's this famous producer. Connector. Yeah, collaborated with tons and tons of musicians, particularly in this time period.

So yeah, Missy Elliott debuted first studio album, 1997. The Rain was the first single off the first album, and then shows up in this huge, appears to be trash bag. And it just, it was so striking. It was so different than anything else. Can you describe what Missy Elliott in a trash bag is for folks who have not seen the music video?

Well here, I will, so I found this article about it, this website called Anscape. This stylist, June Ambrose said, "'It was not a trash bag. "'It was a couture Michelin suit.'" Yeah. Yeah. Like the Michelin man.

Yeah. Okay, amazing. She said, "'During my early career in hip hop culture, "'I was forced to design the looks "'in order to get the couture attention that the culture needed. It had no stitching, it was all seamed with tire glue. The outer layer, which was the patent leather vinyl, we were able to sew up. Any little leak could throw off the inflation.

Fuck, holy shit, man. Rolling Stone named that video the greatest hip hop music video of all time, Elliot shared that when they shot the video, her inflated suit had to be blown up at a gas station and she had to walk down a Brooklyn street in New York to get back to the set because she couldn't fit in a car. Oh man. And then Ambrose, that stylist that I mentioned, had to follow her around with a bike pump

to keep the suit inflated. Just doing Missy maintenance. That's so dope. Originally I just wanted to talk about that video because I was just like, the video's incredible. The song. I don't recall the song that much. It's fine.

It's kind of an okay song. Don't really, like not one of my favorite Missy songs. The video, amazing. So yeah, so again, that's like an example where it's like, like I could play a clip from the song, it's okay. The music video, amazing. Untouchable. Yeah.

But I did, I wanted to just kind of name some of her songs. For those of you who maybe are like, can't really remember all the songs that she had written, she of course did Get Your Freak On. Yeah, I was gonna say, it's the most famous ostinato in sort of like beat history. Anyone who hears that, brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr Work It is another one. One Minute Man is another one. And then there's some that if you heard,

you would kind of know, like Lose Control. Yeah. Music. Uh-huh, exactly. Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh. Sorry, that was a really good impression of the synth part of music make you lose control And I don't make space for that

Wtf is a more recent one that she did with Pharrell. It's called it's like where they from Yeah, so she she kind of went into hibernation for for a very long time Yeah She kind of popped up at the 2015 Super Bowl part of that is because in 2008 she was diagnosed with Graves disease Yeah, so she spent several years kind of getting that under control and then 2015, like rolled out at the Super Bowl and everybody just like lost their minds. Yeah. 2023, she became the first female rapper

to be nominated and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I did not know that. Yeah, which is kind of wild when you think about it. Great though. In 2020, Billboard ranked her at number five into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I did not know that. Yeah, which is kind of wild when you think about it. Great though. In 2020, Billboard ranked her at number five on their list of 100 greatest music video artists

of all time. In 2021, she got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her overall discography has sold 40 million records worldwide. Superstar. Yeah, she's incredible. What song should we, have you chosen to play for the friends at home?

I know, how do you choose? I kind of like Gossip Folks. Okay. I wanna play that one. All right. That one has a little Ludicrous on it. Yeah That's another arm of my case. Is that she works with everyone. She has collaborated with everyone.

She's collaborated with Lil Kim, Janet Jackson, Beyonce, Ciara, Mary J. Blige, as I mentioned, Timbaland. She did Christina Aguilera in the Lady Marmalade video. Oh yeah. Eve, Busta Rhymes, Pharrell, as I mentioned. She did songwriting for Aaliyah back before she really became a solo artist. Wow.

It's just, it's kind of wild. And it's just like, it's kind of easy to think of her, as I mentioned, as just like a very late 90s, early 2000s artist. But I will say, and somehow this totally slipped under my radar, in 2024 she did this huge tour and it was her first headlining tour and she did it with Buster Rhymes, Sierra and Timbaland.

She did a tour with more than 250 costumes. She bust out the big Michelin couture. Yeah, that was part of it. Apparently there were over 300,000 between 300,000 and half a million rhinestones in her outfit. Jesus Christ, yes. And she was 53 years old on this tour that she did.

And yeah, totally missed it. Just remarkable, yeah. I mean, we're not plugged into the music scene basically at all. Yeah, it's just, yeah. I'm just completely bummed. There was apparently a UFO that descended onto the stage. Oh, I bet.

There were all these different elements. It was nostalgic and also otherworldly. There were all these like different elements. It was like nostalgic and also like otherworldly. There were supposed to be like elements of like Independence Day. It was like, whoa, shit. It was supposed to be incredible. But yeah, I just think she's remarkable. I think she's had a tremendous influence

on like so many artists. She actually cites Salt and Pepper as part of the reason that she even got into rapping in the first place. Yeah, for sure. But yeah, I just kind of wanted to give her her props and recognize her for the tremendous impact that she has had on music. I don't think you have to make a case for,

I think Missy Elliott's work probably speaks for itself. And so in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, Missy Elliott. work probably speaks for itself. So in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, Missy Elliott. I may be. A poor southern lawyer. Can I steal you away? Yes. Thanks. Thanks. I would like to talk to everyone about a video that is very important to me.

It is a classic piece of found footage comedy short film called the Price Master. Were you familiar with the Price Master? I was not at all. I had no idea how you had found this. I had never heard of it. I was very confused when you sent it to me. I sent you the abridged version of The Pricemaster. Okay, I was curious about.

There's a full 30 some odd unit cut out there on YouTube that you can watch on The Pricemaster's official YouTube channel, which is quite old at this point. So if you've not seen the Pricemaster, one, you should go watch it, it's on YouTube and it's really, really hysterically funny. Here is the premise, it is an unassuming Sunday afternoon

in February 2001 in Denton, Texas, and there is this house where a bunch of art students live together and they are hosting a yard sale. And the items they have for sale at the yard sale are pretty wild as you might expect from like a house where a bunch of art students live. So there's like, you know, half made projects, but then there's old lingerie magazines and a gold crucifix and a small portable television, just an odd mix of items.

And their neighbors and passersby, usually older, normal folks out on a stroll on a Sunday afternoon, swing by to peruse these items. But none of these items have prices listed. And so these normal folks walk up and ask the homeowner, how much is this crucifix? Do you wanna mention that the homeowner is dressed in a surprise?

Well, there's a homeowner is the, there's a lot of characters in the price master. It's not just the price master. There is a man standing behind the table and he takes a look at these items and he says, let me check and looks up at their porch where they have set up a sort of shrine, a very low rent shrine where a man wearing a creepy golden mask that does not cover his lips,

a silvery strapped tunic and these enormous baggy pants makes, it puts an insane price tag on the item on display. He has some kind of like stereo, like loud equipment. In a deafening reverberating voice. That is the entire premise of this 30 minute long found footage short film called The Price Master. It's one of my favorite early like,

I guess viral funny videos. How did you happen upon this? I don't even remember. I don't even remember. I saw it, I saw it, oh gosh, probably when I was just out of college. I feel like maybe when I was living in Cincinnati, one of those theater kids that I was hanging out with at the time

probably turned me on to it, I think. That is what my gut tells me. Yeah, it has a very like kids in the hall kind of quality. It has extremely kids in the hall, huge, weird kids in the hall energy. And of course, like my brothers have seen it. And now it is such a touchstone. It's really only gonna work best

if you can see the price master during the price master video because he's doing this constant sort of slow, free-form, erotic Tai Chi movements on the stage as these 65-year-old people pick up and ask how much a thing costs. What is kind of perfect about it too is that the neighborhood they're in

feels so exactly like every town USA. Yes. Like I felt like it had to be in the neighborhood where my grandparents in like small town Illinois lived. Like it just looked so exactly like every small town Illinois lived. Like it just looked so exactly like every small town and every like somewhat like rural area of the country. And juxtapose that with the shrine, with this man doing his dance.

So watch the Pricemaster because you can't right now because this is an audio medium. I would like to play a little bit of the audio from the Pricemaster, just so you know kind of what the Pricemaster is bringing, his energy. ["Price Master Theme"] Pricemaster, I went for the bronze fruit fix. Fine

harvest. I am the owner of the world. Ha the timing is so precise, so precise, and so fucking funny that even when you know, like someone offers him $15 for like a vacuum cleaner, and he responds, $20,000! Like you know it's coming, but it's still like so fucking funny every single time. And it also like, what is impressive to me

about the Price Master is for a film that was made in 2001, I think it actually walks a really fine line of being so absurdist that it is not like playing a practical joke on the people coming to the yard sale. of being so absurdist that it is not like playing a practical joke on the people coming to the yard sale. I don't think I would enjoy the video nearly as much if that were the vibe, if it felt like a joke that was being played on people. The prices and the whole situation is so absurd

that the people there are too like delighted to be annoyed by it for the most part. Like early on there's a woman who looks like she's in her seventies who makes an offer on something, I don't remember, just for the most part. Early on, there's a woman who looks like she's in her 70s who makes an offer on something, I don't remember, just for the prize master to go, $500. And instead of throwing a fit or getting frustrated, she just cracks up and immediately gets it

and is like, oh, it's not for sale, it's a joke. That's hilarious. And like the people there seem to really get it. And it becomes such a spectacle when it very well have could have, it just could have been like, oh, these art students are at it again. God, what are they doing over there?

It's so loud. Instead it's like everyone just kind of like comes and is delighted by this silly thing. No, it doesn't feel like early daily show where it's like we went to this small town of idiots. Yeah, right. No, it truly is like, I don't know, there is a niceness to it.

And that is like really hitting me right in my sweet spot of like absurdist shit that is not mean or picking on people. It's kind of like that Flaming Lips documentary, where it shows them in Oklahoma. Yes. Being these weirdos in this community of people just living their life and just peacefully coexisting.

Yeah, it's a nice, I don't know, it is a genuinely a nice vibe. And it is the same joke told over and over again, but so fucking expertly. Yeah. And it also like, it make you think. I think it's hard to tell how seriously to like take it as an art film, it opens with this like harsh red,

still slide of a Marshall McLuhan quote from the medium is the message about how like comedy and art can make someone more immediately perceptive about their environment. And because of that, you are able to change the way that they think about their environment. And because of that, you are able to change the way that they think about their environment by making them think about their environment. And so like genuinely, I do think the Price Master succeeds

at the very least in making people think about how ridiculous and arbitrary like pricing can be. I think the subtitle of the film is like a meditation on captive market capitalism. I don't know. I don't think it takes itself particularly seriously past the Marshall McLuhan quote, but it is, I guess, somewhat salient.

I saw it for the first time over a decade ago, but I never really looked into it. I never looked into who made it. And there is a credits roll on the YouTube video and one of the names in the credits caught my eye. One of the cinematographers who filmed the yard sale and I guess was like one of the directors of the Pricemaster was Rick Perry, who is the production designer on Dimension 20 now.

Does all of the like miniature design and battle map stuff and a lot of the sort of like design of all of those. That's too much talent for one human being. That's too much, too many contributions to the world of entertainment for one lifetime. You should reach out to him and ask him about it.

I would be very curious to hear stories about the Prize Master. Because it is one of those foundational videos that has poisoned my mind in a way that when, sometimes I'll just hear a number or I'll hear someone ask how much something costs and my mind will immediately generate like 180,000, like it will just fill in the blanks

with this little tiny price master in my brain who wants to distract me and he does a really good job. Because I would be really curious like how all of that came together and like how it ended up where it was and all of the thought that went behind it. It's, I think it's, I think it was ahead of its time.

I think it was genuinely, I think that it is the exact, it has been going around on social media again. I saw a clip of it on TikTok and I hadn't watched it for like a few years. And so I was like, oh shit, Price Master. And so like, I think it's exactly the type of humor that is what people want right now

and is the thing that like people share a lot and enjoy a lot. This very harmless humor that is also kind of poking fun at capitalism in general. Like you're checking a lot of the boxes of what makes like a good piece of social content. But I think it was way ahead of its time for that reason. And it's just like, I don't know, it's just so well-made

and it's just so fucking funny. And it's, you can watch it for free on YouTube. So set aside some time, get some friends together and watch the Price Master. Do you wanna know what our friends at home are talking about? Yes. This one is from Bean.

Shout out to Tiny Heist Bean, that's great. My small wonder is seeing kids employing the same boredom tactics over generations. I was driving and saw some kids standing at the end of a driveway making various signs for honking. I honked as I drove past and the kids all screamed and jumped for joy. I couldn't stop smiling for a good 10 minutes.

Some things just persist through generations. It's a beautiful thing to see. Oh, I love that. I do love that as well. I didn't do a lot of, I mean, the classic sort of arm pump on the highway on long road trips to try and get a truck honk. I was just saying.

Have you noticed that little son has started saying psych? Oh, has he? Yeah. No. I don't know how he knows that. I don't know. He gives us a lot of, that's silly. Yeah.

But the way he's- He's been pranking us lately, too. He's been pranking us a lot, which usually looks like he'll run into a room and turn off the lights. Yeah. Pretty good prank actually. Not like the most intricate Machiavellian plan,

but like it gets the job done. I just appreciate that it's not messy. Yeah, sure. I unintentionally picked two kid focused small wonders from the fans. Matt says, my small wonder is growth spurts in children. One day they eat three quarters of a pizza, get really grumpy, sleep for 12 hours,

and suddenly are an inch and a half taller. It's amazing and catches me off guard every time it happens. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. That's my new theory actually about why little son hasn't been sleeping well. Getting bigger, makes sense. It's so easy to pay attention to how big son

is getting bigger. I notice it a lot on the trampoline because I'll be in a position where I'm sitting on the trampoline and he will be standing a position where I'm sitting on the trampoline and he will be standing up and I'll be like, Jesus, you're so far away, you're so high up. The other day, because little Sun sleeps in a twin bed

and the other day I came in to wake him up and it was just like he took up that whole twin bed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was, and also the other day when he woke up, he demanded a Z bar. And I was like, that's it. In the middle of the night, yeah. Yeah, that's a strange thing. I got two AM Z bar I was like, that's a- In the middle of the night, yeah.

Like a 2 a.m. Z-bar. That's a strange thing to request in the middle of the night. I get cravings also. Hey, thanks for listening. Thanks to Bowen and Augustus for these for our theme song, Money Won't Pay. You can find a link to that in the episode description. Thank you to MaximumFun.org for having us on the network.

We've got some MbemBem and Taz shows coming up. We're gonna be at Origins in Columbus next week. Yeah, and the we is accurate and then I will also be there, but I won't be performing, but you might see me on the street. It's Rachel walking around. Yeah.

I'm looking forward to it. I love Columbus, so much to love there. Have you been to this Origins? Yes, yes, I think so. Event? I think so. I don't know, I've been to Columbus very recently, I think for a convention. Maybe it was just to go to COSI a couple times,

because COSI rules. We're also gonna be doing some shows in Texas coming up. We're gonna be doing some shows in California. We're doing a new Taz Dadlands in Anaheim with Brennan Lee Mulligan, GMing, very much looking forward to that. All that is over at bit.ly slash McElroy Tours, Taz Dadlands in Anaheim with Brennan Lee Mulligan GMing. Very much looking forward to that. All that is over at bit.ly.com.

And we got some new merch over at the McElroy merch store. Great little Monster Factory sticker set that I'm just wild about. All that's over at McElroymerch.com. I think that's it. Thank you. I hope that people didn't listen to this and expect erotic content throughout. Because I feel like we wrote a pretty big check there at the beginning, and then we immediately tore that check up

and threw it right in your face. And when you say we... I guess I wrote the check, huh? Yeah, and I allowed you to write it, I guess. You endorsed it, didn't you? I did. You didn't sign the back of it, but you drew like a little doodle on the bottom.

I put a little heart over the eyes in Griffin. You drew, Kilroy was here over the endorsement line, but then his nose went below the endorsement line, and now the check is ruined, and it's not worth any money anymore. Anytime I sign a check, I'm always so paranoid. I'm gonna cross that line with the pen, and then the check is ruined and it's not worth any money anymore. Anytime I sign a check I'm always so paranoid I'm gonna cross that line with the pen and then the bank will be like this is worthless now. Anyway that's what was going on in my mind. Money won't pay, working on pay Money won't pay, working on pay
